Develop Bugs

Two Questions

I have two questions...
1. Can I flash this to my phone, if not will CyanogenMod be releasing nightlies for the Sprint version?? http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=galaxys2
2. Will this phone get Android 4.0?

No......... Its being worked on... Yes

Yes ibwould fully expect thisnphone too get icecream sandwich. And it been posted in numerous places that it will. Its the freakin gs2 man. Haha long before it was ever released even when it was just a rumor everyone wanted it. Its sprints current flagship.. and the best phone currently available for purchase. And from what i understand yeah you can flash that but it will cause your modem too stop working. Meaning yeah itll work boot and all but no data or phone calls

December Update Confirmed by top Samsung dev

TL'DR - A sprint executive told me there is an update in the final stages with a December release to fix LoS
Full story:
I have been having problems since I bought this phone with LoS and had been having bad customer service to the extreme which I won't go into here.
A couple of days ago I did an executive email bomb (not the [email protected] address, but their actual email addresses). Bob Johnson, the customer service top guy at Sprint personally called to apologize to me at 9pm at night. After I explained the issue, he said he would research the issue and get back to me. A top Samsung dev called me today who said he had spoke to Bob and informed me that an update was due in December. He offered to push the update to my phone now but said it was still in testing, so I declined.
He explained the cause of the issue to me. It is isolated to areas with spotty coverage, which is why some don't experience it at all. If you are in 4g and leave 4g coverage, or in 3g coverage and leave 3g coverage, and in the process of sending packets, there is apparently a bug where the phone does not detect this and would just give up after it could no longer talk to the old tower.

Sounds good but I don't expect much unless they officially state that.
EDIT: I retract my above statement.
Thanks OP.

Sounds realistic to me thanks for posting.

December is just a few days away now...
Hopefully this rings true.

Lol he literally was willing to push the update to me that moment. I only declined because he emphasized it was still in testing and could make things worse, phone too critical to risk that.

you could have accepted, pushed the new update, make a dump (for the devs) and revert back to your old nandroid? lol
though when i read the title i thought this was about ics. lol

I considered that and am still considering calling him back Monday and telling him to go ahead and send it, but I am not an android dev, dont know what this update will break as far as root and recovery especially since it is an internal samsung build, and not sure I want to risk that when December is like a week away.

Not having that problem so didn't bring it up, sorry

You're looking at this from the wrong perspective. You have the opportunity to provide the community with everything they would need to fix LoS and you're only worried about what it will mess up on your phone. After receiving, packaging and uploading the update, you can easily just Odin back to what you're on now until our developers can modify, test and compile. Ask any of the developers how to upload an OTA after you receive it.

I will call back Monday and see if the offer still stands. Of course there is always a chance he uses xda which would suck.

Most techs us xda.....especially htc crew.
XDA has played a big part in their success which is why my avatar is so jolly. They tried to pull fast one locking down 3D boot loader giving us the middle finger.

I would jump on the offer to test the fix. It would be great to have someone from the community actually help test the fix, even if you don't feel comfortable sharing whatever is pushed to your device.

Forgot to mention, he did say they originally intended to release the LoS update this month, but some other bugs were discovered so they just wanted to do a single maintenance release in December instead. Don't know of the bug you mentioned is one of them.

the update was never supposed to come out in November - refer to link above!

A dev in irc #epic mentioned LoS was due to tower switch also.

it's interesting that when xda members don't like the content of a post they get sad and try to discredit the information. All the information in this post was given to xda in October. I went through the hassle of calling Samsung and Sprint and brought xda the same information here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313705 - but I guess because it was October and December was so far away, people didn't want to believe it.
Now its close to December and the information is much more palatable to the members so everyone quickly accepts the information as fact and everything is just peachy.
Maybe the membership should treat other members with enough respect to give them the benefit of the doubt on information that is provide. Bringing BS info to the forums would not benefit me in anyway and the reception of such information with the "that's BS" mentality only makes it less likely for members to contribute openly due to the expectation of facing criticism.
Either way, thank you Kingsway8605 and please excuse my interruption of your thread!
Glad to be re insured the update is still on its way unlike my Logitech revue update!

I just know what I was told by a reliable person. I can guarantee the person in the link was not dealing with someone as high up, and the thread was started in late october, so it is possible there was a different timetable before that. If you want to doubt it, that if fine, but I trust the person capable of pushing me the update more than the tech support person mentioned in the linked thread.

I made the post and I don't doubt you are right. You missed the point - what I posted in October is the same information you just posted. I am agreeing with you and saying that this information was also posted in October!

That means ICS will drop next summer on this phone if they've taken this long for the LOS fix.

Did everyone jump ship?

Thete is hardly any development on this phone. My note 2 and 3 there were tons of roms. But it's dead here . Every one leave sprint? Not that i blame them sprint is pretty lame. ..

Nah, my guess would be that since we all know Lollipop 5.xx is coming, the developers are probably waiting. It's still a pretty new device too. Jmho...

Cm and asop romz are built almost daily n there getting more stable

Hybrid-X Stock ROM is probably the most stable and best rom out at the moment. He is also woking on a dark version of the Stock rom. Soo many options unlocked in this rom.
I use to use CM as it was basically "Rooting for Dummies" I am not cutting anyone down (I use to love CM) but you dont have to think with that rom you install and it does the rest it will even update the rom for you. You dont have to think when you have that rom, you are safe and should not have any problems which is why I loved it. However their roms were not stable and updating too often so I tried other builds and found Hybrid-X to be the best so far.
My guess is tho everyone else is waiting for Lolipop to arrive. But tx is still working hard on his ROM and is always improving it even when he says he is done for a while, all of a sudden there is an update or a new mod you can use. If you dont use his at least watch the build and see what is still going on with his rom.

Oh and Sprint may seem lame to you, but all carriers have their own pros and cons. For me I left verizon and came to sprint for the unlimited data and I pay a lot less monthly. Went from having to data-mine and count my megabites, to not having to worry, and I typically use 60-70 gigs a month on just my phone I get my money's worth.

Maybe we should all jump ship to Verizon or AT&T. Oh wait, there is no development on either because you can't even root their Note 4's...

I was also curious about this, I'm not too familiar with the whole developer side of android, so I'm learning!
When the official lollipop version is released for the Note 4, will we see more ROMs being developed?, and higher quality? Or should I expect things to stay about the same?
I've really really enjoyed several ROMs I've tested, I'm just curious what to expect once the official Lollipop TW is released.

Good things come to those who wait

Someone on the Hybrid page said they went back to stock and are currently downloading Lollipop. Posted screen shots too, won't be that much longer if this is actually the case. I would assume there will be a lot more action soon, or else the roms that are being made will be the best and there will be no need for a ton of different ones.

This was exactly the reason for the hault in production in KK roms. At least it was for me. No point wasting time on a soon-to-be out of date build. And to sum up the OP's initial post... for anyone who is not happy with the lack of roms for your phone, then there are options for you. You can learn to build your own roms and you can also donate to developers to support and encourage then to continue buildg roms for free. The only reason i started building roms for the Note 4 was because there was really not many if any devs building roms for us sprint users. I made the choice to get off my @$$ and do something about it instead of crying and making posts about it. FYI to anyone not aware... building roms takes a LOT of work and a lot of time. Take that for what it's worth. I would love to sit on my @$$ and wait for awesome roms to come out and not have to build them myself!!! That's the sweet life!!! to those of you who have shown your support and respect to the few devs here in the Sprint note 4 forums, we ALL Thank You!!!

Any progress with "blacklisted" devices yet in 2016?

Im one of those guys with a paperweight. During the holidays last year, I ended up with a blocked Fire TV 2 because of a shipping error. No sweat off my back, as Amazon quickly sent the replacement, but still it kills me to have this sexy black box sit around and do nothing. Amazon doesnt want it back, they dont want anybody using it, and I am not ethically questionable haha. I am literally UNABLE to throw this thing away. At the very least I have an extra remote and power converter, but still... you guys know what im talking about.
Anyhow, Im not unfamiliar with small-component electronics and circuitry. I know we will likely never to be able to bypass the registration screen through the software, as ADB has not yet been turned on for USB or network. This leaves me seeking out hardware root methods to install custom recovery and thus custom firmware to bypass registration. But alas, I cannot find any guides on the subject, nor even a simple discussion. Can somebody point me in the right direction? Any discussion with some recent activity involving EMMC or other methods should suffice. If I dont find anything i suppose ill have to delve into this on my own. Deep waters!

A hopeful bump in case somebody hasn't seen this yet, but it looks like I'm on my own here. I'll be diving into hardware rooting and let yall know what happens.

I wish I had an answer by I think I have the same issue. Can't past registration page.
I thought it was from previous owner modifying hosts list. But not sure. I just posted my issue last night and the mention of the device being blacklisted brought my searches to here.
Hopefully someone has conquered this.
(Or at least give me a definite answer and I will cut my loses....

Successful flash of Android 10 on non rooted or unlocked vzw s10+

So I apologize if the title is a little too long but I just wanted to let everybody know if are like me and you wanted to get on the new beta for Android 10 but you don't have an unlocked or way to unlock your phone I am here to tell you that there is indeed a way.
the nice thing is that this does not trip Knox in anyway. It also does not void your warranty so if you are interested and you don't understand some of the posts in the flashing sections or you're too afraid because you don't want to mess anything up let me know.
I would post how to do it on here but I don't want to post something that people have already figured out I was just stating that for me as an autistic guy who had a little bit of trouble understanding the flashing guides I'm telling you that after about six hours of reading and messing with my phone and also having high anxiety because I did not want to screw it up in any sort of way...
The proof is in the screenshots like I said if you want to know how to do it, comments on this post and I will make a YouTube video showing how to do it that way it's easy for anybody to follow.
I also want to add that none of the bugs are present in the build I'm using now... My games seem a lot faster my speech-to-text seems a lot more correct and honestly I'm really glad I tried this...

im not sure i follow... can't anyone do this now without any kind of hacking? i literally just got the s10+ today (us unlocked version). it took me only minutes to register for the beta program and then download the update ota. im on ui2 and android 10 now.

Link the video? Good for Verizon users???

if u need a video to get on 10 then i dunno what to say lol be on the right firmware to start then sideload the updates.. theres literally threads and websites all over the internet at this point

I find it interesting you are willing to post a bunch of paragraphs about what you did but refuse to post how? I've been on these forums a long time and if you can't say how you did it, why would we want to hear you did?
