Will need to know how to flash recovery through fastboot since you need to use clockwork 3.
I've attached a working recovery. (the attached recovery has been updated to 3.0.0.1, shoud fix some mounting issues. )
adb reboot bootloader
$fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
If you 'd rather do it from the emulator follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10131596&postcount=361
This is an alpha, so use at your own risk. And its definitely not official. So far no one has mentioned anything that doesn't work, but as usual, use at your own risk. Thatguy32404 and I are not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
You also need gapps for 2.3, http://koush.tandtgaming.com//google/gapps-gb.zip
Alo, thanks to Grankin01, we now have a working gappps zip with the new market.

Also, if you decide to go back to a froyo rom, you'll need to flash the old recovery. Its also attached. If you need help flashing the recovery,
check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852905

So far all I can tell is wifi isn't working. Still testing everything else.
GPS works.
Wifi wirked after a reboot, not sure if that means its gonna continue working.
Also, I cant get my computer to even recognize the phone through adb. Tried updating the drivers and still no luck.
I'm curious to see how your testing goes, please keep us updated!

yup theyre right just a reboot will fix the wifi and for me i have windows 7 and my pc wont recognize my phone lol other than that everything seems fine oh and i noticed that this rom boots up pretty quick like under 10 seconds which is not bad at all and the gapps-gb.zip that Jeffmeister post above work just fine as well too
PS- but the market is the old style if you want the new 2.2.7 you will need to download the apk from the nexus s forum
Hello I looked everywhere on the forum and unfortunately I couldn't find a solution to my problem. So here goes my question in an effort for you people to help me. Thanks in advance and sorry for the inconvenience. I rooted my htc evo 4g a long time ago and not until yesterday have i decided to use WiFi. When I turned it on it connected to my home network but when i go to Google or any other webpage it wont load. I tried it at my friends house and the same thing happened. I don't know what to do to get my WiFi working again. Please help.
What rom are you on? Have you tried 'wifi fixer'. Its free from the market.
We're comin from a pure power source.
Its called 'fxr wifi fix and rescue'
We're comin from a pure power source.
Thanks for trying to help. The rom im using i believe is mikrom supersonic 3d. Do you think If i factory reset my phone will the wifi work?
reflash of radios might be in order. Same thing happened to me.. turned on wifi and all it said was error and 4G wouldnt search. Flashed latest radios from combo and all was well again.
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately im a newbie so can you tell me how to flash the radios?

Download radios from - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 and put on root of sd card. I use latest combo..to each their own.
Go into recovery and flash by installing zip you downloaded.
It will say Install Complete at which time toggle to Reboot and it will start install of radios and reboot itself after each install. Dont interupt during this process and it may take a few but once done you will see your rom screen, go inSettings\System Updates and Update PRL and Profile. All should be good after that, if not then yes a new kernel or reflash of existing kernel may also be in order.
I just finished flashing the combo and i went to try and see if the wifi is working but unfortunately it wont work. I went on google and the webpage wont load up. Do you have any other advice so my wifi can work? Im willing to do anything
Did you try flashing a stock rom to see if wifi works?

this is a completely stock rom it is not my own so i take no credit. from what i read its can come in odex or deodex, if u dont know what that is odex is usually faster and deodex is better for theming. so the choice is up to u
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412005
if you still need radios or whatever try this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485) once again not mine but i have used this before. i would suggest flashing the combo one. (its the very first link in the post)
i have had ur problem b4 and all i had to do was flash the combo of the lastest radios wimax and all that jazz but different phones do different things..
Good luck hope i helped!

Just wondering if someone could clarify about this model over the rest. Am I limited to rom's just made for the M model then? or do the normal roms I see like the cm7 ones in the development section of this model work on the m model?
Check this out. It might of some help to you.

Hi I have the "m" model as well and I haven't had much luck with the majority of roms made for the euro version of our phone. Darkshado had made a ROM called ArpegGioMod ROM that is made for the m series and works quite well. I use his ROM and I'm quite happy with it versus the stock ROM.
I flashed cyanogenmod 7.1 on my phone using Odin and by leaving out the phone package which seemed to work pretty well, but after a day my phone could not connect to the network to make phone calls or use 3g so I flashed back.
Let me know how it works for you. Thanks.

Gio s5560m Stuck data mode deactivated.
Hello all,
I bought a Gio M about a month ago good phone and happy so far. Problem I've had is 3g is OFF ---> power button- Phone Options menu - Network Data mode is deactivated. Push to turn ON and stays deactivated. Go into system, network, and yes data packets is checked on.
Phone is stock no tweaks no extras, did a clear cache and reset phone to OE spent 2 hours with tech support on Virgin canada and Samsung. Virgin blames phone, Samsung Blames virgin 3g network.
My question is could the phone have a bad firmware flash from factory it came with 2.3.4
I am going to go back to Best buy next weekend and see if I can test with another gio. If 3g works on test unit then I'll send this one in for repairs I guess.
Any other suggestions?
Did you try another Virgin SIM? That's one thing I'd look into.
Also if you're in the Montreal area or in the GTA (I'm not sure where else) there are Samsung Service Centres you could take this to.
Show up in person and have them diagnose the problem. You might even be able to wait while they work on it if you have a bit of spare time.
2.3.4 is the proper version number for the stock ROM on the 5660M. No updates so far.
Gio s5560m no 3g
Have not tried another virgin sim. I do have a spare that came with the phone spose I could try it although its sealed up in the packaging still.
Live in northern Alberta and the nearest city with virgin phone sales is 2hrs away hence the wait to get fixed. Surprise surprise Samsung did not phone me back today like they said they would either.
Found one other post on here of a fellow in Norway with no 3g can't enable or disable but no answers on his post to the problem. I'll wait till the weekend and go to the city and see if Bestbuy has an activated sim they can put in and try.
Thanks for the help and I will update when I get it figured out.
i had the same connection problems, try going back to your stock ROM and take note of your APN settings, once you flash back to CM you'll notice the rom made several changes!
changing the APN settings back to stock, fixed any connection issues i had
hope i helped! (i'm using CM7.2 RC1 B1 KANG on my BELL 5660M)
s550m 3g
Problem is I am using the stock rom, the rom that came with the phone is the one giving the problems. Sending the phone back for "repairs" and we will see what comes of it.
I'll keep you all updated.

I'm new here and I tried to read all the information to get a good idea around flashing the S5660M. I also have the bell version.
I'm going to put down the steps, if anybody can give me pointers or correct any mistakes. That'd be great, I want to put CM7.1 or 7.2, whichever one is stable enough for all functionality to work. Speed is not an issue as I am giving this phone to my grandpa who needs a chinese language display system which Samsung didn't include in the original ROM.
1. Root phone
2. Install ClockworkMod Recovery
3. Reboot into recovery mode, make backup using Nandroid? I heard there's other tools that can be used. I'd like to backup the original ROM.
4. Download the desired CM from recovery mode onto SD card
5. Delete cache and wipe data
6. Choose the new ROM to be flashed and wait
I think that's the general idea, is there any key steps I am missing?
Sorry again for asking but I want to make sure I got the correct steps for S5660M.

Also, is Universal_GB_ROOT_v2.zip the best/safe way to root a S5660M?

Hello,
I am considering updating my gingerbread based ROM on my old EVO 4g (I am currently running Cyanogen mod 7.1)...
Its been a very long time since I've flashed a ROM to my phone, but I have been wanting to upgrade to an ICS/JB ROM for a while because (amongst other things) I hear that these android 4.0 ROMs are better when it comes to battery life.. As you can probably tell, I am not one of these folks that re-flashes their rom every week so I may be a bit rusty with this and I am a little bit intimidated. While I would like to try something new I also am a bit worried that my lack of experience may cause me to make a mis-step and mess up my phone..
The ROM I am looking at right now is the new release of MotoBlur'd, found here: .. I understand that this ROM is based on CyanogenMod 10, and since it seems I cannot get a version of the raw CM10 directly to install on my phone, perhaps MotoBlur'd is the next best thing...
But before I open up this can of worms and go off and wipe my phone and flash this new rom, I had 3 questions which I hope someone with experience can answer
1) All other things being equal, would this actually help with the battery life, over the Gingerbread based CM 7.1?
2) Is it still the case that Netflix and other video viewing apps do not work with this (or any other ICS/JB) ROM?? They mention it in the android dev thread, but no one has confirmed that these things work or not work.
3) Do I have to peroform any extra steps or install anything else (other than what is shown in the instructions) to move the phone from CM 7.1 to the latest Motoblur'd ?? For example do I need to install an ICS based ROM first before JB? Or can I just flash directly to this ROM??
Hopefully I can do this without causing too much damage or requiring too much help from the users in this forum... Of course any advice or suggestions anyone can give me would help...
Thanks

Excellent guide, Hipcat... I think this will really be helpful to me... As someone who doesn't do this all the time, it can really help to have a guide like that to cover all the bases.. I know we are supposed to try to search for the stuff that we need to know, but sometimes its hard to know even what we need to know, and sometimes the multitudes of information we find is contradictory or out of date, so this really helps..
I found a broken link on it, so I posted that as a reply in your thread (I hope thats okay)...
I think I may just stick with my GB based rom, as much as I would like to monkey around with ICS or JB.. I guess I don't see the sense of switching if it won't help my battery life and if it will prohibit the use of video playing apps (which, I know, suck a lot of battery)..
The biggest problem for me is the battery life (I found several contradictory explainations on how to calibrate the battery, I will try the one found in your guide next), but mainly I believe my problem is that I have too much garbage loaded on the phone (not reloading after a year and a half can do that), and a lot of stuff loads in the background so that is probably affecting my battery life.. Also I don't think I am using the most up-to-date radio, which is probably causing the most battery drain of all... So I am going to try the following...
1) I am going to (actually I already have) upgrade my radio to 2.15.00.01.15
2) As per your, and honda's suggestion I will try to update my recovery to smelkus 4.3 (I think I am using clockwork recovery right now, although I am not sure if that is the same thing or not)..
3) I will try to re-format and re-partition my SD card and attempt to install A2SD so I can have more room for apps (can I use A2SD with CM 7?)
4) I will wipe everything, and reload to CyanogenMod 7.2 (perhaps this will work better than 7.1) and reload about half the apps I have on there now (only the stuff I am using now)..
If battery life is my main concern, is there a better ROM I should be using??? I picked CM in the first place because it was an AOSP (no frills, no extra garbage) ROM, however I haven't been able to update my PRL (havent ever updated it, probably)...
Thanks again for your response... You and your guide have been quite helpful...

Yep, I fixed that link and what you said is why I wrote that guide; because searching can be a real pain in the @ss sometimes. It's like a teacher telling you to look up a word you can't spell. Well how do you search for an answer if you're not really sure of the question?? lol
You cant update your PRL on any non-stock rom. It has to be stock for you to be able to do that
Well if battery life is your main concern I always suggest a good sense 3.0 ROM. If you are worried about bloat that can be removed. If you want I can hook you up with a rom/kernel combo with everything you want.
When I am not testing or making a new rom I use sense 3.0 and can get 8 hrs of heavy use on stock battery. Thats netflix with 3-4 hrs use plus web surfing and calls during the rest. On my extended battery with light use I can get 4+ days.
If you would like to try my rom pm me before you partion your sdcard. There are certain things you need to do for it to work right.

Perhaps I will go to stock and try to update the PRL before I go ahead and update the ROM to custom... However, this Evo is on Boost Mobile (not Sprint) network, so I am not sure how to appropriately update the PRL... Should I just update it as if it were a regular Sprint Evo 4g or does it matter?

Umm updating prl only requires the *228 call from the phone and it works on any rom. Now to put a custom or older prl it takes a bit more. Updating your profile now that I do believe you have to be on a Sprint rom but I don't have Sprint so I can't say for sure.

Never heard of that *228, so cant say anything about that
Updating profile and prl I've always seen and heard can only be done on stock, unless you use this ##codes apps I saw somewhere....
The ## codes only work on the sprint roms. To change prls on AOSP roms you need a windows pc with qpst setup and prl files on the pc. Then you have to enable diagnostic mode through adb or a terminal emulator. There is a thread here on our EVO forum to do it. I will bump it so you can check it out. It sure beats all the backing up and restoring to do it.
Edit: I bumped it. It is in the dev section.

Found the thread, thanks!!
Now I just have to figure out which PRL file to use for my Evo on Boost, and where to find it (I think this is what stopped me from updating the PRL before, not knowing if I should use a sprint PRL or something else)...
Edit: I did find this thread regarding boost PRLs on EVO
And if there is indeed an app that emulates the ## commands, I would like to know what that is...
... TPK2013
Heck if your on boost you need a boost prl. You can Google boost prls and find dozens of them. I would suggest using the latest one. Just dial *228 and it will update your prl. After it finishes reboot your phone. It is really that simple. I do it on my cricket flashed EVO but it works for every service provider.

Disclaimer: I am not a ROM developer. I am a developer and Linux user, but I know next to nothing about creating Android ROMs. Whole other world to me.
I'm wondering if all three of us Epic 4G Touch users left might be able to get a working port of LineageOS 14 on our aging handsets.
The good news:
I just loaded the Official LineageOS 14 for i9100 20170419 nightly on my d710, and IT WORKS
...almost.
The bad news:
The ROM boots up, everything works and looks normal except for:
Wi-Fi - Settings app spins with message "Turning Wi-Fi on..."
Menu Button
Home Button
Now, I'm wondering if there is a way to fix these problems. I prefer on-screen navigation anyway, so that's probably an easy "fix." But Wi-Fi will probably be trickier. I assume it's kernel related, but I can't find any Nougat kernels for this device, so that will likely be the most difficult part.
Thoughts? Anyone else out there have any input or want to give this a crack?

Link is in the OP. Here it is again: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/rom-t3555834

How did you get past the 07 error then? Ive tried clearing everything from system to dalvik cache and nothing gets me to install the rom to look into the wifi issue properly

I don't know what you're talking about. I don't get an error.
The ROM flashes without modification. Make sure you have an up-to-date TWRP with the i9100 crossflash patch: https://github.com/Lanchon/TWRP-Patcher-SGS2
Ive tried flashing twrp onto my device using the guide that tells you how, even after editing the installer script to have the SPH-D710 line in it it aborts the installation

I followed lots of advice from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/epic-4g-touch/help/help-getting-stock-rooted-4-1-2-to-cm11-t3384832
I believe the method that finally worked for me was: Odin to EL29 rooted, Philz recovery, TWRP, CM11.
That's where I was before I tried the i9100 LOS 14.1 ROM.
I can get a twrp with a different rom then cm11 but that twrp doesnt have the img installation feature on it

If you have root in CM11, you can use Flashify to flash the new TWRP .img file.
My E4GT still works, more than glad to throw my hand in the pot to make something happen. Haven't used the S2 in years so it's not updated, currently running an old build of CWM and a CM11 nightly with iso-rec support. If you could bring me up to speed on what I need to get from where I am to a newer recovery(TWRP preferred) and your ROM I'll start playing around with it. Last time I searched all of this to update left me more confused than anything with it being mixed up with the i9100 and i777 information as well.

You should be able to flash the latest TWRP (for i9100) using Flashify. Beware that I have not been able to get TWRP to mount my external SD card, so any files you want to flash in TWRP need to be stored on internal memory. Everything else works perfectly. Mounting USB storage in TWRP works well, and that's how I've been able to get new files on the phone when I needed to.
After installing TWRP, make sure you run Lanchon's crossflash patch on it: https://github.com/Lanchon/TWRP-Patcher-SGS2
I used
Code:
lanchon-twrp-patcher-20160417-crossflash-d710.zip
to enable flashing d710 and i9100 ROMs.

Yeah, I took another look last night, the information available now clarifies things that seemed a mess back when I first looked into this.
Have you made any progress with your ROM? If the hardware keys are still not working it's because key mapping is different on i9100, also rotation is backwards or at least it was years back when I flashed a i9100 ROM on my D710. You can remap the hardware keys so that they function correctly. Other than that there should be no differences.

I haven't done anything yet except try to load the unmodified i9100 ROM and report what works/doesn't. Really the only thing I need fixed is the Wifi, and I have no clue how to do that.

I'll reach out to some developer associates and see what I can find out about the WiFi.

I'm not a developer, but I have a D710 lying around and I am willing to do testing if you need me
I also have an Epic 4g touch that im willing to test stuff
So... I guess nothing ever happened with this ROM? I have a SCH - R760 from US Cellular that AFAIK is compatible with d710 roms. I would still be interested in running Nougat on my device - even though my eMMC seems to have issues at the moment.

Never had any real interest, and I don't know enough to do it myself.

Understood. So you said that the buttons didn't work and the wifi wasn't turning on. Were there any other major bugs that you noticed? I might try and make it work for our device, because why not!
Thanks for still responding after so many months!

Those were the only two things I noticed. Bluetooth worked. I didn't see any apps crash (but I couldn't load new ones because no wifi). I didn't try cell service because I don't even have Sprint anymore, but I suspect that probably didn't work for the same reason wifi was killed.
Thanks for looking into this! I'm still interested if we can find a way to make it work. I just don't know much about creating ROMs. I'm not an Android dev.
