If you want a quicker answer, try to post in the Vibrant Section as there are more users online there,
Try to go to recovery, wipe the phone, reinstall the rom, should work properly again, but cant help you on the Voodoo thing

Hi
so today i updated my vibrant to 2.2
my phone was rooted before and had oclf
and i read somewhere that i need to unlag fix and uninstall EXT2 Tools
however i did uninstall EXT2 but i could not do that for lag fix saying that i don't have lag fix and i can't even install it when i already did but anyway
i think that was because i rooted my phone before and did the lag fix and factory reseted it without removing lag fix
anyway this is where the question comes out
so i have got 2.2 froyo and when i open up it says that
my phone is unrooted but it is rooted my tethering works and stuff that i need rooted phone.
plus.. this is even more serious my flash player doesn;t work...
i thought it will work..
i tried to download app for flash 10.1 still doesn't work...
what should i do?
btw i did my update through kies mini
didn;t flash rom
oh and one more problem...
i just noticed that
i have battery reminder
and i just found out that when i turn my wifi it says 4h 43 86%
and when i don;t turn on wifi it says 18h 55 86%
isn't that way too much?
my phone has problem?
i am not sure if i had this problem when i had 2.1
just noticed it
and one last thing what is good voice search and voice text
i saw someone with super good one that they say it really fast and picks up everything
when mine .... doesn't really pick up when i even talk slowly

1. If you successfully updated through mini kies, then it does not matter if you were rooted etc before - the update should have taken you back to a TMO/Samsung approved config.
2. Tethering (and some other stuff) is enabled in 2.2 without being rooted - download titanium backup from the market and try running that - it will fail if you're not rooted.
3. Flash 10.1 is installed with 2.2 - what exactly are you trying to do that makes you think it isn't working.
4. Wifi does suck juice in the new implementation (on my phone anyway), I only tried it once to verify it's working so can't help with any extra config options.
5. Can't help. sorry.
Hellao Everyone
Well i FLashed (OFFICIAL) [email protected]_2.3.3_v2 two days ago with Franco's LAtest [KERNEL][12 JUL]franco.Kernel |.v1-GINGERBREAD| 2.6.35.13
Everything RUns Smooth and makes a 770 Quadrant Score with CPU settings on
122/691 using nofrills with interactiveX
Smoothass for some reason BUrns my Battery down very fast idk why ;S
coming to the point
both Tethering Dosn't Work here, neither USB not wifi :S
and another thing i noticed my Boot Animation is Still the same old Android and ...
When i lock the phone, Screenlock thingie there is no sound :S
any Suggestions
Your boot animation is still what?
v 2 has android eating apple...if your boot doesnt have that then you have failed flashing I guess.
I used v 2 for a couple of days, the wifi tethering worked, I didnt try usb tethering.
Back to v 1.2 for some reasons, especially the battery which I think last longer in the earlier version.
Regards
ok i re flashed the v2 patch, now i see the Droid Eating Apple, lmao'd there coz i was waiting to see it the 1st time but i just got the other default android thingie,
about the tethering,
1st time it says Wifi Hotspot Hosted but when my laptop connects to it, or i can say establishes connection to the hotspot it says Error on the Phone and the Tethering Icon Disappears.
i can ping to the phone but it dosn't send/receive anything :S
and wifi kinda gets bugged after this in the sense it connects to my wifi router but dosn't process any data, it uses EDGE to Send/Receive Data
ok its official Tethering dosn't work with v2 Some more ppl posted on the Official Thread so i guess its the kernel's fault coz some ppl have trouble with wifi too,
hope Franco implements a Update soon ;-D
Anyways thanks for the info @least my Boot Animation Changed xD
Hello!
I've been reading a lot about this new gingerbread and stuff.. I came to flash this rom after the official flashing... just because I wanted root and oc.
BUT, idk really why, some apps doesn't work right...
sadly, I didn't try to install this apps BEFORE flashing this ROM.
the apps are:
Jed (Japanese dictionary), this just crash after installing the dic files...
Kanji Recognizer, this is in a loop, you download the dic files over and over again...
It's weird, I thought first it was because of some problems with Japanese language and characters,,. but I've had to find other (not so good) apps for this matters... Also I've searched if somebody else had this problems with this app in Gingerbread but it seems that it's only me...
if somebody have any clue... please
Thanks!
hello, i got a phone that i bougth used on amazon and i dont know why the phone doesnt work properly the gyroscope when the phone is on a surface the screen go to landscape and when you put the phone in vertical it takes like 4 seconds to get the screen in vertical too? somebody knows the problem?
i got gingerbread 2.3.6
All depends on what you've got running on it. Really isn't a general answer to this question other than try a different kernel or rom, I've never run stock 2.3.6 on my sgs2. I can say however with stock 2.3.4 when I was running it I never had this problem. Have u tried recalibrating?
yes already did and make factory reset but nothing my friend got my phone im going to wait till sunday and try to change the room and see if works but calibration doesn help neither
FIX problem
well after 5 hours to trying i do this steps to fix the problem:
1) root the phone
2) backup of the phone with the clockwormod recovery
2) upgrade AOKP ICS room
3)on that room there is an option to save the calibrate so you click on that .... then calibrate
4) restore your backup and thats it perfect gyroscope
Hi guys,
I have a huge problem. I had a stock GB firmware customized by Optus (carrier in Australia) on my S2 I then decided to change to the new ICS 4.0.4. I downloaded the stock unbranded firmware from SamMobile (Australia 2012 September 4.0.4 I9100XWLPW, I9100XSALP6, XSA) I updated using Odin. Before I did the update I reset the phone, did the update, it all went smoothly. After the update I reset the phone again and then proceeded to reinstall all my apps and restore my contacts, sms, etc.
The phone works and all functions on it work, however now very randomly the phone would totally freeze. The phone would be in standby, the screen would come on and it would be frozen. The screen stay on all the time and it does not respond at all. It will stay frozen until I restart the phone by pressing Home+power buttons to restart it.
After restart it all works fine for a few hours, sometimes a day and would just lock up again. The phone is not rooted and as I said i just changed the firmware from the Optus branded GB 2.3.6 to unbranded stock ICS 4.0.4 by using Odin.
Is there a way to find out what is causing the phone to lock up like that? Any suggestions would be helpful.
and then proceeded to reinstall all my apps and restore my contacts, sms, etc.

I made sure that I didn't restore any data apps. The only apps that got restored are the ones that get automatically restored by Play store.
I have disabled the live wallpaper that I had and it seems to have stopped the freezing for the moment. I will report on what I find out.
In the mean time if anyone else has a similar issue or has a definite solution please let me know.
Thanks
i know this is a resurrection, but don't see it has been resolved.
also found same/similar problem on another topic, but no resolution either.
couldn't find any resolution anywhere on the net, but possibly i'm just missing it (searching for wrong parameters?)
anyway, a friend of mine bought second-hand (third or even fourth hand to be precise) i9100 with 2.3.6 (stock KI3) on it. the guy who sold it to him said something like: "it works best on 2.3, on 4.x it's buggy".
it was working fine, but friend wanted newer OS, so we tried update. it didn't work, and i found out CSC was broken/missing. somehow i managed to repair it, and update was finally working, but was unable to find any for our location.
so next step was to find stock rom that would work on the device, and then i tried four different 4.1.2 stock roms from this topic.
after flashing it through odin, every one was acting fine, until couple of minutes after it started freezing or rebooting randomly.
then i tried flashing CWM, and flashing from sd card, but it was all the same.
wiping data, cache and dalvik cache, prior to flashing. wiping data after flashing...
nothing seemed to work.
GB works rock solid, ICS works better than JB, but stills it freezes or restarts randomly.
tried CM10, but all the same, except it works a bit faster then official JB. but who cares about speed if it freezes/restarts constantly?
back to who knows which build... freeze... samsung galaxy s2 - i9100... with yellow triangle... booting stopped.
so i decided to dig deeper, trying to find hungarian stock build (country we were told the phone came from) not being sure that KI3 is what the phone came actually with. i found 4.0.3, put it on SD card, wiped data, cache, flashed CWM, wiped data, cache, dalvik cache, flashed 4.0.3 from sd, wiped data, booted, entered location for updates - hungary. update found, hooray... downloading... installing... rebooting... working?
nope... it's worse than ever. trying to log onto google account. typing in email add.... freeze... switching phone on - freeze... thinking about... freeze.
i couldn't sit still. yellow triangle, all those reboots/freezes... at least i wanted that triangle gone, and without a JIG, there was only solution for me was to try triangle away. it wasn't available for download in my country from play store, so luckily xda was there.
somehow i managed to download it from the device, install it, click remove the triangle... it did it's magic, rebooted... and miracle happened!
no more freezes.
so i started torturing poor phone, benchmarking, playing games, listening to music.... it seemed stable for about an hour.
so i said to myself:
- it's possible that previous owners tried to upgrade it to newer firmware, and somehow screwed up the bootloader, which was fixed by this app? maybe that was all there was from the beginning? why not try putting 4.1.2?
and i did... took 4.1.2 spanish build from already mentioned page above, flashed it... and voila. working JB... torturing the phone... playing with it... hour passes, another hour...
friend wakes up... takes his phone in awe, starts playing with it.. we talk a bit... and then that look it just froze again!
from that moment on, the phone again starts restarting or freezing randomly...
and, yes, i still have no clue what could be the cause. it doesn't matter if wifi is on or off, if you're talking on the phone or not, bluetooth and gps are always off. only thing that he noticed is that it usually happens while he's using the phone (meaning: operating the digitizer or buttons). if he starts music playback and not touching buttons or screen, it will probably play for hours.
one more thing, but i doubt it would be the case. the battery in the phone is not original one that was shipped with it, but a quality replacement.
it doesn't feel as if the phone is overheating... so i don't know what else i could do with it.
for now, it's back to 2.3.6.
we both lost a week, torturing ourselves with this problem.
i don't know is there anything i could add more?
all suggestions are welcome.
cheers
Maybe try kernel cleaning script and try philz or siyah kernels.
You shouldn't have to flash a custom kernel so your phone won't freeze, but yes, you could run a nuke script in order to wipe clean all custom ROM's leftovers.
Try flashin' jb via mobile odin, see if it keeps freezing up on you. If so, nuke it up.
Sent from the little guy
i'll try them out.
probably for the weekend, if not sooner. will report back here with info.
any other suggestions are also welcome.
thanks a lot.
cheers
ok, so here are some updates.
i finally got my hands back on my friends phone, and tried nuking remains of older flashes.
following that, i flashed stock spanish rom from above mentioned page, updated after installation to spanish update... and after a few minutes, sudden reboot...
so, went back to nuking, and flashed stock hungarian 4.0.3 i found elsewhere (mentioned in my earlier post. don't remember origin... if i find the link on another computer where i downloaded it on, i'll post the link). tried updating, says no updates found.
started torturing the device. it seemed solid, but battery reported it level was low, so hooked it up onto charger and all seemed well. but phone seemed a bit too hot.
after few minutes (this was all about half an hour to hour after flashing to 4.0.3), again freeze.
after rebooting the phone, battery was at 9%, as if processes were draining battery faster than charger recharged it.
so, i figured i gotta try original battery. so i switched his battery with genuine from my phone.
phone seems stable and less hot, for now.
still checking if it is going to freeze or reboot again.
it's about one hour since battery change. still on charger and using wifi and playing around with apps.
i'll check in with news later.
cheers
I have the same issue.but my battery is original.
What I noticed that the phone stuck when I receive an update notification.
Can I stop softwsre to ask for updates? ???
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda app-developers app
^go to settings, about device, software update and detick auto update. that should stop it from trying to self-update.
ok, so here is an update to my friend's phone status.
currently on hungarian 4.0.3. about 3-4 freezes/reboots a day. sporadic connection breakups during calls. also, when we talk i can hear myself back. this brings me to conclusion it has to do with modem firmware. i found this topic, so i'll try putting that and see what will happen.
if that doesn't solve anything, my question is this: is there any way of knowing which firmware/rom was originally put on the device, since i don't know the real background of the device? i.e. some way of entering IMEI and finding out what should be on it?
cheers
EDIT: tried KH3 modem, no changes... i could still hear myself while talking to my friend on that device. also, it froze couple minutes later. going back to 2.3.5-2.3.6 for now.
so after couple of months, i finally got my hands back onto this phone...
gave my friend my phone, so i could play a bit with this faulty one.
i have played with it for a couple of days now, and here are things i've tried.
i received it from a friend with 2.3.5 on it which had triggered custom binary counter. he's been using it for couple months without any problems.
so i rooted it and installed triangle away again... reset counter, cleared and flashed hungarian stock (telenor) 4.1.2... random freezes again.
tried several stock roms, mostly hungarian ones (4.0.3, 4.1.2). even reformatted with .pit file... random freezes.
reformatted again with .pit and put XXLSJ, installed stability test and let it run...
cpu stability test 15.5 hours no problems, no freezes. then i realized it didn't have a sim card, so i rebooted phone and installed sim card. let it test cpu+gpu for 9 hours... no errors, no problems, no freezes.
so i thought, maybe it's all fine? but it wasn't! as soon as i took phone into my hands and started going through menus it froze!
so i tried SGII_repair, rooted and did "repair"... but nothing changed... still random freezes.
if i just let it do the stability test, it'll probably work forever.
things i've noticed:
- serial number is wrong format (14 hex digits instead of 11 alphanumeric)
- during stability test, cpu frequency dropped from 1200 to 800 mhz (maybe because it was getting warmer? 42-43C during cpu only+charging battery, and about 39-40 during cpu+gpu test)
i tried to find out which firmware is latest according to serial number via kies, but it gave me error.
i know it's from hungarian market, but don't know which exact part of it (branded or not).
don't know what previous owners did to it, and don't have backups of original efs or anything original.
i just want to make it work, don't care much about custom firmwares. i'd be happy even with unrooted stock... just for it to work!
i have no ideas what else to do.
anyone?
finally, as i couldn't resolve the problem, i returned phone to 2.3.5 and sold it as is.
thanks to all people who tried to help.
cheers
