Hey guys,
Im having some troubles with my device and I thought you guys could help me resolve it.
Ok so, whenever i flash a stock Samsung ICS rom on my SII, my home-button doesnt function anymore and pressing the power button turns off my device without giving any options menu. I flashed to stock XXKH3 XXKI3 XXKL1 etc and then back to ICS but the buttons just dont work. Im sure i have the GT-I9100 the package says so and the sticker under the battery in the device itselves also says i9100. Now another weird thing, theres a rom in the Android development thread well its actually a backup of someones ICS rom and whenever i restore that ROM and i boot the phone the home button actually works again, but still a no go for the power button. I flashed wit .pit format system/data/cache everything.
Do you guys have any idea whats wrong with my Device?
Cheers.
ICS = test rom alpha beta not released by Samsung not fully working for testers only .
As your warranty is now void i suggest flash stock rom clear custom rom counter and test .

Try cm9 I haven't experienced any similar problems with that

It is unstable. Wait for stable ver. Or official ICS

I hope no one gets too upset but the only way i think i will find an answer is to ask..... here goes:
I have a vodafone australia i9100t:
kernel 2.6.35.7-i9100tdukf4-cl331615
[email protected]#2
gingerbread.dukf
i flashed a rooted kernel, supercurio_3 so i had root access. now i have the following:
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100xwkdd-cl161513
[email protected] #voodoo
So what i am wanting to know is...... If i want to put a rom on, or have keis update {very slow in aussie} or even a newer version of factory via odin - what is the latest.... how do i easily get cwm and why does there appear to be so many versions of how too's on the sgs2 section? theres really nothing wrong with my phone but i would like it to be up to date but mine is clearly not. and if i want to use a rom then i would like to know how to do that easier. using odin isnt the problem dont get me wrong, thats the easy part.... the confusing part is re-flashing factory kernels after rooting? whats that about, and where did the guide go... i was sure there used to be one. if im asking in the wrong place have a mod take it down but thats the state of the forum..... where do you ask?
Oh last of all from what i find the I9100t can be flashed no dramas with a rom... is that correct?
Thanks for all help
Normally rooted moded kernels come with CWM recovery , i don't know if supercurio_3 comes with , you can try power off phne, then Hold Volume up + Power + home, if you boot into CWM recovery you are done , you can flash any rom. If no CWM just flash CF root kernel .
Rooting and flashing mods on SGS2 is super easy.
My first day i got SGS2
1. flashed CF root kernel with odin.
2. Got into CWM recovery flashed ROM. Done.
Use kies only if you want to stay on pure stock, pointless in my opinion.
Supercutio does not come with cwm. What firmware should i use? Mine is old.... Very old for this phone

I have the AT&T version of the galaxy s2. I rooted it earlier and everything was working fine with the stock rom. Then i downloaded the revolution rom because it seemed pretty popular. After flashing the rom my menu buttons at the bottom of my phone are all messed up.The search button and back button dont work at all then the home button actually works as the back button instead of the home button. So im guessing the revolution rom is made for one of the internaional galaxy maybe? Can anyone help me? Even other rom suggestions would be freat because im really not liking the feeling of this one, especialy with my buttons all messed up. thank you ahead of time.
Just flash hellraiser overtop of the rom and it will fix all the buttons.
Unless you get the ROM out of the dev forum for the AT&T SGS2 you probably shouldn't flash it unless you have a really good idea of what you are doing. With my limited experience I would suggest flashing stock and starting over with a ROM designed for the right phone. If you read the hellraiser thread it is really an alpha release and there is a lot of debugging and testing going on.

Hey I luckily got my hands on 9100 and not the 9100g. As there are too many roms I got confused on which one to flash. I downloaded miui ics version and flashed it via CWM it got stuck on boot logo. I had a nandroid so I just restored it back
The phone is on 2.3.6 so can I directly flash ics roms via CWM? It's rooted. I like cyanogen but I have heard its got bad camera app. Can someone guide me to the best roms and also to some must have apps for a rooted phone. SGS2 is my first REAL android experience.
And also the phone runs real hot.
PS : I have used search button.
Hang on to your stock for a week, then Westcrips 1.2 (4.04) gets released.. use the time in between talking on your stock phone, and reading up the 1900 pages on that rom
There is no perfect or right ROM.you have to test what fits you best.
Try different ROMs and kernels and you will find your personal perfect ROM.
I tried many different GB and ics roms and my personal favourite is Turkbey ROM v37 SE.
Very stable, fast and awesome looking

So, using that search button, you must have found the dozens of posts saying that going from GB to ICS ROMs, if you're stuck in boot logo or boot looping, then to try a full wipe, right???
Maybe not.

I would say go Cynaogenmod their ics rom is running very stable, but it is a matter of personal taste, but as a first time custom rom i would stick with Cynagonmod. You can find the latest release here. As for flashing roms while on 2.3.6 will be fine, just make sure you do a nandroid backup and do a data wipe, cashe wipe befeor flashing as this will cause bootloop.
I can recommend hydrogen-ics with latest siyah kernel because it is my current setup
If you are new to rooting and flashing roms then i would recomend get more experience before flashing a custom kernel. Although i do use siyah kernel and it's wicked, so if you do venture into kernels as well i would recomend Siyah kernel the same as gent.xda
stay on ur stock rom ,untill u kno ur phone well an read xda too,an abt roms there is no perfect rom (define perfect)i don think anything is perfect///////well as for roms spikes,omega,ics remix,hydrogen are good ,cm9 is always updating but if ur a teck geek miui ,cm9 is it...........cheeeerz
This GalaxyMOD looks good: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1482372 and it's your neighbor from Mumbai.
There is no best ROM it's like everything in life depends on the needs...
Read / backup / Flash and return to back up if needed
Since this is a discussion and not "plz can i haz the best ROM"
Post what rom you're on and the reason for it!

Hi, do you found a solution for this?
my s2 happen same like you too. sad
Same Case with me as well. I have a lenovo tab which has the same thing. No Launcher and it has a blank screen and that's it.
Just an idea but you could try to create a zip file of a custom launcher like nova trough titanium backup.
Flash it in recovery and see what happens when booting.

Well your phone is i9100g... You sure you flashed ROM of i9100g and not of galaxy s2 i9100...coz many people make that mistake..
Post this in the i9100g...idk how much we can help you with this..
Anyways, try factory resetting the phone...if no luck take it to Samsung customer care...it can be a hardware problem. ..
And ya, which ROM are you flashing? The official stock ROM or custom ROM?
Custom ROM do have many bugs and vary from phone to phone. .. Try going to stick for one and check if problem is still there. .
Press thanx if I helped...

ya..done factory reset but still got the problem...
like i said before..the touchscreen work fine if i plugin charger or connect usb to pc/laptop...
i dont think it becoz hardware problem since it work perfect on stock GB, stock ICS, aokp, CM and 4-5 other custom ROM...
can it becoz of battery? i use 1650mah...i have try 1500mah and touch screen getting more worst...
i still cant find any solution for my phone..
already try many method like
- using re-partion on odin with pit file
- format data, system, cache, emmc
- wipe data/factory reset/dalvic cache
- flash using odin/cwm
- root/unroot
after done all above..touch screen laggy and still make dash line on drawing...
after my last post...i have try most rom on Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development Section and my touchscreen on all rom are working perfect except official stock JB or custom rom base on stock JB...
forgot to mention that the day on my 1st time installing stock JB i accidently flash Galaxy tab 2 p3100 firmware and got softbrick
but successfuly unbrick then done flashing stock JB...dunno if this incident can damage my phone...
or is other way to make FULL FORMAT internal SD? to make sure the file that i accidently flash completely remove...

you could try Blazing Kernel, it can be flashed via stock recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113545.
Or you could also flash original GB and upgrade to JB either through OTA or KIES.

I have tried that two methods, Flashing GB (everything works great), flashing ICS (everything works great too), and then JB trough OTA and the touch screen doesnt work properly. I have tried the last Blazing Kernel too without success.
Thanks for the help.

We have the same problem dude, touch screen not working properly after stock jb (xef) flash but working flawlessly when phone is plugged. I can't have a custom rom above 4.2.1, else I have the problem. Now I'm on CM10.1 4.2.1 and can't leave it because of this, the official rom I want is the official.
Did you got the screen of your phone replaced ? Because mine was and I was wondering if it was that.

Not sure if it was replaced because I bought it used on ebay.
But are you using CM10.1 4.2.1 without touch screen problems? Can you tell me the date of the release so I can try to flash my phone with that ROM?
