****The Official Samsung Galaxy S II Thread***

CWM recovery you mean?

all i got it

android system recovery <3e>
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition

that it.

i rebooted the phone via clockworkmod app,
 
the google backup apps thing is pretty lame, it seems to backup at random times, i restored once and it was well old and out of sync. wish they would update and allow u to backup online whenever u want, would then be able to solely use that instead of titanium backup
 
i rooted S2 by this guide http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2011/04...ng-odin-and-superoneclick-step-by-step-guide/

it worked fine,

downloaded ROM manager app, flash clockworkmod recovery, selected S2, successfully downloaded clockworkmod recovery.

then what??? there is no guide anywhere how to use/install clockworkmod recovery

i managed rooted and installed custom ROM's on G1 and desire without any problems in the past.

i have no idea why it wouldnt work on S2

any help would be brilliant thanks

re that guide you used, it's probably not a good idea to use a guide that's 4 months old, especially when it links to firmware that is many revisions out of date. If i were you, I'd download XXKH3 from intratech's thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 then 'cf-root' using the kh3 rooted kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399. instructions on how to do both are in the threads. cf-root includes cwm and other apps in the package so you have nothing else to install. That's if you want a rooted stock firmware of course, there are always the custom firmware options like cm7, lite'ning, miui, batista ect

Once you're back on track you'll be ROM jumping in no time!

I think today alone I have backup and restored around 7 times....it's been a long day ¬_¬

Sorry to hijack this reply :( So using both those threads would I do the following:

1. Download xxkh3 and use odin to upgrade the firmware.
2. Use Odin to apply the cf-root of kh3
3. Apply stock kernal
4. done or add custom rom?

I think I have now got my head around flashing and rooting I just havent bit the bullet yet and gone through with it..

Cheers

step 2 and step 3 are the same thing.

flash kh3 with odin, root with kh3 cf-root
 
I'm still running the standard Samsung ROM (haven't done anything beyond the official updates) but is anyone else having problems after a call? Often i'll finish a call (made or received) and the phone will just stop responding to anything for 5-20 seconds and even once I had to pull the battery as it was just a blank screen and no buttons would do anything! Anyone else had anything like this?

Nope, I never had anything like that with stock KE7/KF3 or Custom ROMs :(.
 
Any idea on how Vodafone or Samsung would handle a return?
I've had the phone for around 1 month.

I've ordered a USB jig so I can restore the phone and flash counter to stock.

Will 4000 mAH more really make that difference though?

Well, I guess it's a quarter on top again. If you managed 20 hours before, you might get 25 with this battery. I like the idea, but it adds thickness. I'd like to know exactly how heavy the phone is with this battery.

Not a fan of batista. So much bloat on it and I get better battery life on Modaco.

6 hours standby dropped only 1% last night.

Currently have 1h40min on battery, 82% left and thats with 1h20min of Poweramp whilst ready 1hr of comics (full brightness). of that 18% battery loss, 82% (14.72% of the battery loss) was just from the display, so seems a goodun to me.
