This is not root or rom related. Are you using it on at&t?
A search would have led you to the "return to stock" sticky and then we'd have one less of these same threads.

Can you contact the seller?
Return the used device and demand the brand new one.
You spent money for a new product, not a second-handed one, do you?
Worst case, the seller doesn't do the honor, post their Ebay name on so others won't purchase products from them
Suggestion: When posting in an Internet forum, read the sticky posts at the top of the forum first.
The answer to your question is right above in the stickies.
its unlocked and rooted
Galaxy S II unlocked and rooted, but no wifi.!!!!!!!

Are there plans to create a Telus forum?
I have both a Samsung Galaxy S T959D and a Galaxy S 4G T959P. When I go looking for answers in "like" phones I normally get told that this is not the place to ask or did you search the forums? I would be nice to have one place for Telus related issues. All I want to do is root my phone but I have talked to other Telus users that have used the forums and wrong software and failed miserably.
Thanks and Best Regards.
For rooting your phone, I'd suggest you go to the respective forum for your devices.

Hi System,
That is just it, there is no forum for anything Telus specifically for me Samsung T959P or D. From what I have read, the hardware is different for this phone and has the potential to become a paper weight if we use advise from phones that look like ours but the different internals.
Maybe someone has already asked the question for your specific device? Try the search function with your device version. If nothing appears, maybe specify it in your question.
If you can't get help on a Galaxy S forum, I don't know where else
The thing is if XDA created specific forums for each carrier branded phone it would get quite cluttered.
Okay System, I understand, but I had to give it a try. I probably just have to wait a while. The update came out on Saturday from 2.2 to 2.3.4 so eventually someone will figure it out.
Thanks for your time. You can close the thread.
So am looking at getting a USB Jig for my Galaxy S2, i've seen some on ebay, but i also found a site called usbjig.com anyone got any experience with that site? Reason for asking is because i don't want to end up ordering the wrong thing, so hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance =)

I got one off ebay for less than £2, delivered. If you have any doubts then the best thing is to just msg the seller. At least that way if it's not suitable then you can claim the money back.

just type "samsung galaxy s2 jig ebay" into google and viola the top results are what you need.
Hi can you tell me if the jig is the same as the one used in the I9000, if so i have one that i made up for that one. thanks and regards...
I use the same jig I used with the vibrant... as a matter of fact, IV used it with every Samsung phone IV had. Its the same.
Sent from the best phone on the planet (SGS2) running the best ROM on the planet (Cognition S2)!
As the latest release from Samsung have some measurements put in place in the bootloader to stop the usb jig from working, can ofc update without the new bootloader or just downgrade, but am wondering, will we see new types of usb jigs now? Maybe i should wait a bit before getting one? Heard some talk about usb jig cables here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17777492&postcount=226 is that the way to go? Or?
Also does anyone got any experience with usbjig.com?
So I got my jig today. What's the deal with the new ROMs are the jigs not compatible? Someone please explain ...
Also any news on the hidden counter?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
no news on hidden counter
the new roms have a new bootloader that prevents the jig from working and so far there seems to be no way to make it work with the new bootloader.
solution: go to intratech's official Rom thread in the development section and search for the old bootloader, flash it with odin like a kernel (pda section), then reset your phone with the jig.
Hi,
I just bought the SII LTE from Shanghai, unlocked, and i was thinking if there is way to change the ROM/Firmware to a non asian and if yes how i can do it code a very fresh guy to Android family. Most of the notifications are in Chinese and i don't understand anything.
Thanks,
John

Does NO ONE read?
Download the firmware you want to use in the area you are using the phone and flash via Odin, I mean come on how hard is that. I've had my S2 less than a week and have read through hundreds of threads, and it really gets under my skin that the moderators allow for the newbies to post senseless questions such as this and clog up the forum
Search in google a guide how to use Odin... It's very easy and in about 30 minutes you ll change your firmware
Hi,
I recently bought the new Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE SGH 1757M (Bell Canada) and is wondering if using the 1777 ROM (this forum) would be acceptable. I was unable to find a section dedicated to my phone.
Thank you
I would guess if you want to turn your phone into a paperweight, go ahead. But if you need a phone, I wouldn't try it.

i have already successfully rooted in the past (had the galaxy s). But i am also aware, that a slight change could cause error (this is why i am asking). Isn't there any section on this forum dedicated to the new Galaxy S2 LTE?
Your phone model is SGH-I757M. You could have searched, but you can go here as a starting place. Maybe you can find more info around there. BTW, this was the first result from a google search using the terms "sgh-i757m xda"
To make your life easier when searching, it's i757m, not 1757m. Same in here, it's i777, not 1777.
Thanks everyone for your input. case solved.
OP - please take a few minutes in the future, and do some searching. No need for this thread at all.
ok..so here's the problem i have a Samsung galaxy s2 i777 from track-phone/straight talk (im not sure what it is...) it was sold to me online i reset the whole phone and this cyangenMod thing keeps coming up when it boots up after the factory reset I don't want it on the phone but i have no idea how to uninstall it or get rid of it. i just want to get the phone back to how it came out of the box like a new phone but i'm at a lost i've tried the oden program and the phone wont connect to it. i don't know what files it needs or what i have to do i'm at a complete and total loss...
if someone could help me out with this it would be a REALLY big help to me thank you to anyone who reads this and an even bigger thank you to the person(s) who help.
Why would you want to get rid of CyanogenMod? It's quite possibly the best thing to ever happen to phones.
Especially if you're running cm10.1, it's 4.2.2

There's a thread for the phone you have in this forum; look in the Straight Talk thread and you'll find the help you need.

You want to get rid of it? Easy
Option 1: return it to seller, demand s/he send you another one with pure stock firmware on it, not a custom one or request for the refund.
Option 2: reverse back to stock (from CM) yourself. Since you're here, you should have read anyway, so read up those threads especially the stickies and DIY.

The other posters Actually have given you good advice, and it appears that they have pointed you to the place to answer your question! Really!
It sounds like you have a modified Straight Talk phone (please note that the ATT version is I777 and the ST version is S959G. It would be interesting to know whether you have an I777s or S959G).
IF you have an S959G, then your best bet is to check the thread posted down below as Phalanx and the others have mentioned --it's literally below the post you created (several posts below now, just look for the title "Straight Talk SGS2- SGH-S959G" (<- or click on these "straight talk" words)
It may seem frustrating to get a phone that is customized, and right now you just want a phone; However, you actually have one of the nicest and newest roms available for this type of phone!
IF your phone boots CM10.1 and you have the normal android screens, then you have everything that the ST or AT&T company would provide on a "normal" phone, but without some of the junk and advertising that often infects our phones! Try it out! The interface is not that much different from "stock."
Still, if you don't like your phone that way, YOU can fix it and it is not really hard, but just takes some reading and patience to gain understanding of the techniques and processes (learning the principles also is interesting! :laugh
But it will take you at least a few hours of reading, and a bit patience to scan through the Straight Talk links and pages. If you do that you'll see others who have your issue, and also others who turned the issue around to make it a plus!
A modified phone is more of a commitment than a stock phone -but it returns more to the user! Especially if you want to adjust it, enhance it, or appreciate it, you have to put in time.
If that's not for you -perhaps turn it around on ebay. But a working CM10.1 on a Galaxy S2 is a good machine!
Good Luck
Good Luck
