Guise,
I have a problem i cannot solve with a Samsung Galaxy s2 I got for my brother. I've read miles of text on forums and watched hours of videos during the last few days. This is my last resort, and I don't expect much, but I'm going to try anyways.
My GF bought a new phone and gave me her old galaxy s2 to give it to my brother. I would've just done a factory reset, however she gave the phone to an idiot friend of hers about a year and a half ago and he installed cyanogenmod to 'speed it up'. He botched the job and the phone had all sorts of problems. I just want to return it to stock firmware.
However, when using odin I seem to only be able to install aged firmware with ice cream sandwich instead of the jellybean android. When I try to flash the jellybean firmware the phone always gets stuck at samsung logo while booting. And I have tried literally EVERYTHING to fix this.
I also tried to simply install the ice cream sandwich and update it, but the phone can't do it and it suggests a kies update. Kies however, always fails about halfway through and can't even run the emergency recovery properly, so I end up having to flash the whole thing again.
My question for anyone that might know this, is how can I update/install the jellybean firmware and get it to work?

I have no idea what might have caused this
I used shutup10 to turn off telemetry and other noise, also turning off onedrive(it was not being used but to get rid of the icon in the taskbar)
I turned off fast startup, which only acts as hibernation rather than real shutdown and since theres SSD in the notebook its not much of a benefit
mcafee has been removed, avira put in its place
some preinstalled software uninstalled mostly cyberlink bullshit, and some shit from win10 start menu
some minor changes like show extensions and shit...
Anyone got any ideas? I grasp at everything.. will work on the notebook tomorrow, planning on using recuva, getdataback and some other undelete software
but how the fuck the files got away?!?!!!!

I need to burn a bootable Windows 10 USB. Every computer in my network is heavily infected. So I came over to a friend's house to use his laptop.
Just ran antiviruses and it found 3 trojans on his laptop. Can I proceed with burning Windows 10 images onto my USB nonetheless on this computer or can these trojans tamper with the process?

Doing a clean sweep (formating) for my computer, since I've been getting a lot of BSOD.
I'm thinking I'll disconnect my SSD, and run Killdisk to clean my HDD. Then remove my HDD, and install a clean windows 7 (and upgradte til windows 10 straight after) on my SSD.
Anything I should keep in mind before I do this?

Welcome to /fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about GNU/Linux and share their experiences.
*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread. ***
Before asking for help, please check our list of resources[*].
If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this puporse for safety purposes.
1) Use the Live ISO (if your distribution of choice has one) to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything, that way, you can get to experience the GNU/Linux operating system without installing it.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS, this is recommended if you want to know more about the GNU/Linux operating system.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

So i finally managed to create a bootable win 7 install usb however as soon as i get past the welcome box it gives me this STUPID fucking retarded CD/DVD device driver missing error every single time.
I have literally tried everything at this point. The problem is that my netbook i'm trying to install win 7 on does not have any kind of dvd drive. I even put out the 2,5" hdd and put it into a sata bridge to install win7 from another PC on there but the retarded kikerosoft devs are apparently to stupid to make the windows installer work on external hdd's for some reason.
So yeah, i'm back to square one now and no matter what i try the fucking error doesn't resolve itself. I even tried injecting proper usb 3.0 drivers into the iso via the intel win 7 usb creator utility but instead of booting up properly into the install screen now it's permanently stuck on a black screen when i boot from the thumb drive.
The funny thing is that i somehow managed to get win7 on said netbook once before but i forgot how i managed to do that and now it's not working at all fuck
I am literally fucking desperate at this point, how the FUCK do i make this stupid retarded bitchass shit work fuck fuck FUCK

Also the reason i want to reinstall is because i turned on file compression by accident when i merged two partitions earlier and this fucked up the bootmgr for some reason. It says bootmgr is missing every time now.
So yeah the OS itself is still on the hdd but it refuses to boot up. I tried the startup repair/recovery console but no matter what commands i put into there from other threads it does not fucking work
How do i fix the missing bootmgr lads cmon

Is there any point in using linux if you are not a hobbyist?
Seriously
>use windows
everything works
>use osx
everything works
>use linux
nothing ever works, have to spend tons of hours reading documentation and looking for help just to make the system usable.
Not to mention all the best software is on both windows and osx.
But I think I get it, you are all fat neets that can waste time playing programmer with your distros, but remember in the real world, real jobs require windows and osx.
What's your excuse?

My ThinkPad T420 came with a mega Lenovo botnet version of Windows 7, so I'm using Linux while I save up for a non-shit Windows 7 installation.

I have never even heard of a lab anywhere with a single windows install. Windows is for casual shit like facebook and gaming. Linux is productivity software.

Asking "Hey guys, what's your opinion on x?" is frowned upon.
Passive noise isolation ≠ Active noise cancellation
If you dislike a suggestion, try giving a better suggestion instead of going "hurr, x sucks"

They sound quite good, but for the price, they are awesome: foldable, moddable, very light.
Cons are they tend to catch hair, the cable needs to get replaced sometimes, and the foams needs replacement after a while.
Design is hit or miss. I love them.
These are what i wear when i go biking, running, traveling, as they have decent sound, don't fall, and i won't regret losing them.
They are not only good, they are functional, and that's important if you plan on using them all day.
They are ok for gaming and movies.
For 10€, they are awesome, you can't beat that.
For 40€, meh... better get 8 pairs of pistons.
Maybe you'll hate them, but they are part of headphone history, as they are more than 30 years old.
>>55287612
I did, several times.
However, some people received fake ones on aliexpress, when you had a letv metal craze at 8€/pair.
Now these are like 20€ a pair.
Compare it with the decent sounding xiaomi piston at 5€ (check on banggood, gearbest, geekbuying... sometimes the price will get that low, and no fakes).
If they were still at 8€, and with no fake issue, that would be interesting.

I'm thinking of new headphones, right now I'm using my ATH-M40X.
I was thiking of a DT990 PRO, I want open headphones for home use. However, I didn't really sense much difference in the sound, not enough to justify buying these.
I was thiking maybe I should aim higher, should I go for HD600s? Are there anything similar to those, I'm looking at $250, maybe $300 top. I want open headphones with very well defined bass.

Searched catalogue, didn't see a guts thread. Guts thread? Guts thread!
Received a new PSU yesterday (based Amazon driver!). Fully modular, made cable management a little neater because I didn't have to worry about all the extra that I don't actually need.
Also means that I can actually shut the side of my PC without having to try fight all the cables.
Pretty happy with the result.
Lets see your guts.

Only issue I have with the way my cables are now is that there's that messy bottom, but I suppose that I can't really do anything about it with the F.Design Define S.
It's a great case with good cable management options, but its definitely not the greatest option for it. Still roomy enough for at least sensible cable management though.
