Hi guys.
This is an awesome forum. It helped me a TON rooting my phone and putting a custom rom on it. Thanks for all the help.
I just have a couple questions. I have looked online and can only seem to get bits and pieces, so I just wanted to hopefully clarify a few things.
Firstly, my specs ( post root and custom rom ):
Galaxy S2 ( vodacom )
Checkrom RevoHD V4 ( 2.3.6 )
Siyah GT v2.5
KI4
( I hope that's helpful )
I have backups of everything just after rooting before flashing the rom with clockworkmod and backups with titanium. I used S2 Root so I believe I can unroot with that if needed.
Everything has gone perfectly so far and I'm loving my first custom rom on my new phone
I received my USB Jig today and I was hoping it would get rid of my custom rom count and the yellow triangle.
I plugged it in while the phone was off ( also took out the battery for a minute before doing this ) . Plug in the Jig and it boots the phone into Download mode. However my custom rom counter still says 3 and custom firmware etc.
I was reading that the new bootloader in the newer roms has prevented using the USB jig and that I should get a certain file, flash it, then the jig will be able to work. This is where I get confused. The thread I was linked to to get the files is MASSIVE and I have no idea what file I need for my phone atm.
Also, the files I was checking out are about 270mb or so. It this a complete rom that will replace Checkrom and erase my data ?
What I am trying to do is remove the custom rom counter and the yellow triangle while still running Checkrom RevoHD 4. Is this even possible or am I thinking about it the wrong way ?
I realise the yellow triangle and custom rom counter is not doing anything bad to my phone and that I would only need to remove them to take my phone in for repair. But if it's possible I would like to do it because I am a perfectionist like that ( or OCD however you want to see it
) .
I tried restoring my image with clockworkmod to the original image just after rooting ( with original stock rom ) just to test the jig on that and it still does the same thing. boots but the custom counter is still there, so I am worried I wont be able to remove it even if I do need repair in the future.
I am very new to "rooting stuff" ( and this is my first android phone ), so any help and advice would be most appreciated. Thanks for your time and patience.
