Root Galaxy/Stock android on behold 2 - It flies!

I tried to do whole process again, but after type " reboot" , my phone stuck at "anroid" logo, I don't know what happen. Now, ODIN second time, and it will be the last time.

after you ODIN try to do a factory restore before you do anything else just to make sure.
 
@ tritran18518, if you're having problems with the ODIN process it might be the USB cable. I went thru similar issues where it was taking a long time (close to an hour) to download and wouldn't even work on certain computers. Buying an after market data cable solved the issue for me.
 
i was able to hop onto galaxy but i can't do the Mms fix update...

rm failed for /system/app/Mms.apk, No such file or directory

i have copied the Mms file into the Sdk tools folder and even in the sd card too.....

can't figure it out...

can anyone hlep me, please???

Odin is kind of weird software. I used it 3 times, first time , it stopped at 5/9. the second time it stopped at 6/9,, and the third time it stopped at 8/9. All three time , i just remove battery, plug it in again, pressed the power button , and every thing is solved.

if your refering to Notahotshot last reply... then yes and no... its a hybrid made by bh_man where it basically just removes the twiz... but check out that thread.. i would do the hybrid because you get to keep camera and vibrate.. i personally think its a touch smoother and faster
 
awesome!! i'll do this tonight and keep you guys posted. anyone care to point me to basic on doing root, etc. i've never tried with this phone although i've done before with my UIQ phones. but i guess they use different apps to root etc.

thanks
 
I have question about ODIN. Which buttons i should hold when powering on to make it go in to download mode? I can't find any instructions about how to use ODIN on behold 2.
Thanks
 
use the volume (down) at the side of the phone, the middle button (of the keypad), and the end button.

I learned that last night while installing the rom.

thanks to the deev guys for the upgrade!! My B2 runs a lot faster. no bloatware. heck no telenav and diner dash which I don't use :)

I'm not getting force closes at all when I use the MMS app. It just won't send any out. I'm using APNDroid and have everything enabled (3G/2G/EDGE) but it still wont send MMS. I don't have a data plan so I'm trying to figure out how to enable just what's needed for MMS so as to avoid data charges. Thanks.

if you don't have a data plan, you can still read the web without paying big fees. use txtfeeder.com to avoid mobile data charges
 
Sounds like a neat feature. I just got my first Android phone. I want to try this to see how much faster it will be and to get better battery life.
 
I did this, It all went great and I loved it until I tried to download some apps. I will not download any apps now. Anyone know why this is or how I can fix it? thanks
 
I don't know why, but before I redid everything, I tried to download an app. and it works now. So I guess all I needed to do was reboot. It works so good now it's soooo fast. The stock texting doesn't work but I never use that anyhow, I've been using Handcent since it came out, and I love it. That works fine on this rom. I've very thankful though to all of those that figured this out and put up this thread. I was sick and tired of stock BH2. That's not to say they may have a couple updates that makes the stock version cool,but I'm not going to hold my breath. I'm looking forward to BH_MAN'S 1.6 and perhaps Eclair for this whenever it comes out. I'm really glad we got one good Dev. that cares about the BH2. If it wasn't for him we'd be screwed, lol. Everyone else is busy making Nexus builds and stuff for the MT3G and the G1 still. I can't say I blame them, I'd love to have a nexus one. I'm just going to save up and get the next version of it. I'm sure in 6 or 8 months there'll be a Nexus two or something like that, and I'll grab that. lol . For now I'm more than happy with my BH2:)
 
That's for sure, and as busy as he get's he always takes time out to answer a dumb question from me or whoever, he's a cool guy too.
