So yeah, First I installed Villain Rom, everything worked fine expect the GPS was having some problems. So after trying some fixes I decided to try a different rom, so I jumped back to the stock rom... and the gps still didn't work I have been trying various roms/modems since and still nothing seems to fix the gps . Originally before I flashed my Galaxy s2 the GPS was amazing, super quick(1-3 seconds for a lock, super accurate even inside my apartment)
Here is currently what I have installed
Carrier: Bell Canada
Model Number: GT-I9100
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: I9100MUGKG2(stock)
Kernal version: 2.6.35.11 ninpheramin (kept saying this was a link?? weird)
Build number: Lite'ning Rom V6.1 xxKH3
I have screwed with gps.conf to no end. I have tried tons of different files and checked the permissions, doesn't make a difference.
Fasterfix I have used many times, doesn't work. Although all this program does is change gps conf so no surprise.
GPS Status and toolbox: I have also used this lots, ever since the gps problem I can't get a fix on any sats. sometimes 1-3 show up, but its rare. I have tryed leaving it running for 20+mins and reset the AGPS data and downloaded the new....same problems.
So what do you think? The gps was GREAT right upto I flashed it for the first time, and has not worked since. Should I try going back to all the stock roms? Or could this be a problem with the modem im using? Please any ideas would be great. I have had this problem for about 2 weeks now, and have googled and tried nearly every gps fix I could find(even some for the Galaxy s) None of them have worked
There are a few thread about talking about corrupted efs data file, have a search, maybe its related and some help there.

I am having this problem too. Tried nearly every fix.
I changed ROMs, changed my gps.conf file in the root/etc/ folder, changed modems firmware, tried GPS Status app to "reset" GPS settings (left outside for hours until finally had 8/8 GPS fix) and all to no avail. My GPS sensor occasionally gets a lock but it is so unreliable.
I'm going to scour the forums again just to make sure I didn't miss anything.
This thread is the biggest: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062225&highlight=gps
So hopefully I'll find something new I missed last time I looked through it.
Prefer to test with a clean stock rom on a fully wiped phone especially after multiple flashing and other stuff.
Backup data Recovery mounts and storage format data cache system and sd card.
Download mode stock rom preferably original as GPS worked
Reset Custom rom counter to zero and phone can be returned under warranty if not fixed .

GPS Issue
Hi,
Mine is an S2.
Recently, have started facing this issue since upgrade from Gingerbread Litening ROM 6.1 to stock ICS (and now on Litening ROM 2.7 as well).
Have installed Google GPA Patch too but did not work. Planning to go back to Gingerbread Litening ROM 6.1 to check if GPS works.
Will update you guys.
Meanwhile, if anybody has any solution your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vaibhav

EDIT: I had used Triangle Away on Stock ICS 4.0.3 - can there be any connection with GPS performance loss?
Will update you guys.
Meanwhile, if anybody has any solution your help will be highly appreciated.
EDIT: Broken GPS - Solution Found -
My GPS is giving me an accuracy of 15Ft in max 30 secs with at least 8 satellites indoors. I did the following:
1. Wiped all using CWM Recovery
2. Installed Litening ROM 2.7 ICS
3. Used this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713
4. Kept my GPS on for 30 mins outside in the balcony
That's it!
Hopefully this will solve your problem too.

So i was trying to Root my Samsung and I think i miss-understood the operations and processes.
Samsung Galaxy S2
Kernel 2.3.6
Downloaded SGH-I777-ATTGalaxyS2RootStockZedomaxKernel.tar
Installed, no problems, all good, but no wifi... freaking out.
Searched the Forum... found there was an issue.
Attempted to reload the stock kernel StockKernel-PDA.tar
Installed, no problems, back to 2.6.35.7 Gingerbread.UCKK6
But Wifi will not enable....
Kinda freaking out as Dont understand how the Zedomax and Stockkernel are 6/8mb... but the rest of the post are talking about a 200/300mb file which needs to be downloaded...
Just looking for help on how to get back WiFi?...
read thru: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
...If you bootloop or things behave wacky, enter 3e recovery (stock kernel means stock recovery) and do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset. If you are reverting from UCKK6 back to UCKH7 you MUST perform this step or wifi will not work.
I Did not go from UCKK6 to UCKH7... i don't think?? So any help on what i need to do would be awesome!
AT&T is the carrier.
Also without having to 100% wipe and re-install.
You need to find the "Return to stock" thread and go from there.
Zedo's kernel is ancient, it will not provide wifi with UCKK6 system images.
Only my kernel, the UCKK6 stock kernel, and (maybe, not sure) SiyahKernel will provide wifi with UCKK6.
Kernels are <8 MB. 300MB = full kernel and system image restore.
My guess is you flashed a UCKH7 stock kernel.
Found a return to stock thread and it mentions a RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_2 6.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed.exe as well as a pd98img.zip which are also both 290MB...
Found another thread for Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH, KI, KJ, KK1/2/5, KL1/2/3, LA2 Download but none are for USA/AT&T.
There are a LOT of thread on this and i have been reading thru as many as i can...
If the Stock Kernel or Entropy512 Stock kernel File name or description can be posted i can do the update thru odin...
On the Zedomax, i saw that after i flashed... never blindly trust youtube =(

Of the items you mentioned, NONE are for this device.
I suggest searching a bit more methodically - look in this forum subsection, and look at the sticky threads in the General and Development forums. Threads are made sticky for a reason.

Seriously, if someone can't distinguish which phone they actually own or what forum they should be in, why are they even trying to flash it? What is wrong with some people?

SHOstock2 v1.3 works well with WiFi if you want a custom ROM (ICS).
I was using UnNamed v2.2.1 and it was very stable, but I wanted to try Ics, so I'm now using the AOKP 4.0.4 but I'm having issues with the Gps, still doing some tests, if I dont find any, then I'll move to SHOstock2 v1.3

Sounds like it could be hardware failure. To test that, flash back to straight stock followed by a wipe data/factory reset from 3e recovery. If the problem persists, then it is either a problem with your phone hardware, or a problem with the available wifi router signal. You can test the latter by trying to connect on different routers.

I dont want to belive that my hardware is broken.
But i flashed again my SGH-I777, and the problem persists.
My wifi just says "Turning on" when I push button, and it never boosts again.
I changed the kernel and the rom. I restored to old factory settings, and nothing works.
I would like to get back my wifi.
i appreciate your opinions about this issue.
WIFI suddenly stopped
My WIFI also suddenly stopped working
on 7-1-13 I installed aokp_i777_ota-eng-task650_6.24.2013 worked for a month
Yesterday the WIFI stopped connecting. Got a constant "Turning on Wi-Fi" message but nothing else
I installed aokp_JB_i777-ota-eng.task650-ktoonsez-11.20.2012 which I had been running for the last 6 months
Same problem
I did a full wipe. Wiped cache, data, dalvik. Did a fresh install, then wiped cache, dalvik and fix permissions.
Same
a i9100 thread linked a video of a leaking battery inside that disabled wifi
took phone apart, no obvious signs of hardware failure (have pics)
used odin3 v1.85 with ATTGalaxyS2Unroot_SGH-i777.tar to unroot
wifi will turn on scan for a minute then turn off -- will not find any AP
router working fine with my other i777
anything i missed?

hey brother, first of all, your wifi is not damage fisically. But you are in the same situation that i was.
my SGH-I777 is working very well after too much work with it.
i gave my cellphone to my little brother, and two days later he told that the wifi was working fine.
i made this face O_O i couldnt believe what he was saying.
right now i dont know, how he resolved the problem, the only things that he did was change the OS i guess.
i will call him tomorrow to ask about the solutions, but man, dont worry too much coz you just like my brother, will resolve the problem
It is not hardware...
found another thread that suggests FXR WiFi fixer app from play store.
Ran it on the the AOKP JB 4.1.2 from 11.20.20102
seemed to solve issue -- connected to wifi but lost connection after ~30 min
same issue -- constant "Turning WiFi on" message.
ran FXR again -- connects temporarily then loses connectivity
same thing every time i run FXR
should i use a different ROM?
which one?
any help is GREATLY appreciated
Thanks
mike

You could ask in the AOKP thread if there are others experiencing wifi issues with that rom. If not, a fresh install of the rom may solve the issue. It definitely sounds like a firmware issue, but when there is any question whether the issue is firmware or hardware, the test is to flash back to stock and see how it works. As far as which firmware to use, there are a number of different firmware that are completely stable. You should read through the developer threads, and then try them out to see how you like them.
Hey guys,
here is what is going on with my German Vodafone I9100
After using Sensation Rom for a few months, I finally decided to make the transition to Android 4.
The first rom I tried, was the Simplistic ICS by LegendK95
Installing from CWM worked like a charm, booting worked like a charm, but whatever I tried to do, the phone freezed in homescreen randomly after 5-30 seconds. Only a restart bring it back to work, only to make it freeze again after the mentionend time span.
Whatever I did (waiting in home screen, pulling down the statusbar, scrolling in app drawer) the phone always freezes.
After dozen of restarts, I installed the rom again, the problem stayed.
Then I decided to go to stock 4.0.3 (LP6). Installation via Odin worked like a charm. Booting worked like a charm, but the homescreen-freeze-problem got even worse.
I also tried to reinstall the stock LP6, but the phone now even froze in CWM mode, while data reset AND WHILE INSTALLING THE FW.
Now I got a soft brick in my hands.
So, I installed stock 2.3.3. via Odin. The phone now worked flawless again. No freezes, no no nothing. Just a working phone.
My final try was to install the latest CM9 build.
Guess what happend?
The legendary homescreen freeze. That nobody else appear to have. YAY
So, somehow my phone seems to be allergic to Android 4.
Can somebody please help me?
Regards
PS: Yes, I followed the instructions every firmware provided.
Honestly you want an honest answer. Stay clear of ICS leaks and yes that means even cm9. Reason being. Because of what they are. Leaks and nothing official. Not saying that they are not good but if you look at the original android development can you see any actual ICS roms? No. Why you asking? Because no kernel sources have been released and nothing is far from stable yet. Even cm9 builds codeworkx has on the thread title experimental. So my advice. Flash a Gingerbread custom rom slap on it the ICS by vertumus and your good to go till the official stuff get released.
Maybe before flashing ICS you should fully wipe your device to get rid of all previous ROM data from Gingerbread as they,I imagine,wont be very compatable.
Boot to recovery and go to "mounts and storage" and format System/Data/cache and then factory reset.Then flash the Rom via recovery(install zip).If its an Odin flash then reboot and flash via Odin.
Hi suarez,
thanx for your opinion. I read a lot of threads before updating and came to the conclusion that the current releases, even CM9 seem to be pretty stable.
Also I found no one having issues like that.
Hi cooza,
I did that.

No problem my friend. But I still stand by what I said though. For me to make the jump is a no go yet. Yes they might be stable but so far I still read problems regarding video forever, this is not working that does not work and that most issues will be solved once kernel source is available. Hence why still the experimental on cm9.thread.

Yes, but if you're not that big into watching/recording videos on your SGS2, it's pretty freaking stable.
Installing the latest experimental build of CM9 is probably the best thing I've done to my SGS2 as of late. It's just so... Nice.
I cannot get rid of that problem.
I really need help on this.
Some new information:
I also tried to flash the leaked stock LP2. Same result.
This FW crashed on first start, when the Samsung Apps are installed.
Still some little success:
When flashing from stock BUGKJ2 straight to LegendK95's Simplistic ICS rom, I was able to get it to run, until I have to restart the phone.
But this was the only rom capable of doing so. Every other fw failed.
So, I now can have ICS on my phone but only until I restart the phone.
After reboot, the phone crashes again after some seconds.
Additionally the CWM Recovery doesnt work as long as I have a ICS rom on it.
It also occasionally crashes. Preferrably when I try to flash a new rom, leaving me a shiny brick
Here are the steps to get Simplistic ICS run until reboot:
1. Put the file on internal memory.
2. Go to recovery: wipe data/factoy reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe battery, format system, format data, format cache
3. Flash from internal sd
4. Reboot

Maybe the problem is the stock firmware you first flash.I searched for it but cant find it,is it carrier branded?..BUG sounds like it to me.Maybe you should fully wipe your phone (format System/Cache/Data) and first flash something like XWKL1 and then the ICS ROM.If the ICS ROM you are going to flash has a multi CSC package in it then it wont matter what F/W you flash first.
hello cooza,
i had to go back to stock 2.3.3 because my phone was a brick after flashing any ics rom.
i tried to flash simplistic ics and cm9 via cwm, i dont know if those contain multi_csc.
however, the leaked stock roms, lp2 and lp6 both contain multi_csc that i flashed via odin.
here are all the steps i tried:
fail 1: flashing from sensation rom 3 (2.3.6) to simplistic ics
fail 2: flashing from 2.3.3 to cm9/simplistic ics
fail 3: flashing from bricked ics to stock lp6
fail 4: flashing from 2.3.3. to 2.3.5. (latest official release via kies) to cm9/simplistic ics/stock lp6
fail 5: flashing from 2.3.3 to leaked stock lp6 inluding the pit-file provided
nevertheless, flashing from 2.3.5 to simplistic ics worked until restarting the phone. however, cwm was not working correctly then. so, surely i could have tried to let the phone on for forever, but as soon as i would want to flash a new firmware, i would have got a brick left, because cwm would crash during installation of the new one.
there must be some help out there
thanx for trying cooza. much appreciated.
You might have a damaged bootloader.Although its not needed you could try a JTag.A JTag is used to bring a hard bricked phone back to life.You dont have a hard bricked phone but what it also does is repairs any damage that the bootloader may have.Costs about 25 to 30 euros.As a last resort you could give it a go if your phone is going to give you constant reboot problems and not let you flash firmwares.It should also repair any repartition faults because it completely wipes the bootloader before repairing it.The phone will come back like the first day you got it.check the link below out and use it to find one close to you if you choose to do one.I had an i9000 done last September here in Spain and it came back perfect from a hard brick soo I know it works.I used the link below.

Seems like the very last option to me
Would a broken bootloader allow me to run 2.3.X flawless?
Question does Samsung stock firmware work .
As it seems all your problems are from using a buggy unreleased test rom not from using Samsung released firmware .
I would if it was my problem .
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card wiping everything on the phone .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct Samsung stock firmware for your phone model .
Test phone works .

hi JJ,
thanks for your post.
as i said, the phone is working fine on stock android 2.3.X as well as custom firmwares using 2.3.X.
However, all 4.0.X firmwares I tested, showed the same behaviour: crashing my phone in homescreen (or anywhere else after booting) AND in cwm after 10 to 30 seconds.
only simplistic ics custom rom worked fine until first reboot. then it crashed as well. everytime.
I tested 2 stock firmwares of samsung and 2 custom roms.
I also tested flashing 4.0.3 (CM9) on a friends SGS2 using the same procedure I used on my phone. It worked on first try and he`s now a happy android 4 user.
right now i`m running on CM7 but i wanna uprage to android 4.
edit:
up to this date there is no official released 4.0.3 rom for the sgs2 but how can it be that I have the only phone showing such a behaviour while everyone else has a 99% stable fw for the same phone using the same rom?
Mate,at least it works,thats the important thing.I can understand that its frustrating when the only Firmware/customROM you want doesnt work in your phone and only your phone but we are talking about BETA version ROMs.If there is something for some reason blocking the ICS ROM then it is possible that the JTag will clear it up as it wipes and repears the bootloader as I mentioned so any corrupt data will dissappear.Ive had a bricked phone done and it still works perfectly today but never a phone in your situation.Its possible but never having done so I cant guarantee it.If you want give it a go.You got nothing to loose except 20 or 30 bucks for your efforts.
I have exactly the same issue with a "german" Galaxy S2. I tried to install the {CWM}İCS REMİX ROM v8.4 ULTİMATE ONLİNE XXLP6 4.0.3 resurrection NO-WİPE
Version.
Followed ofcourse the installation instructions letter for letter. It doesn't go over the logo screen. ( And yes I am aware it takes several minutes for such an installation to finish)
I read in that thread of at least another 3-4 people with the same issue.
Going back to any 2.3.x works as usual.
If you take the time and read the various ICS posts one inescapable fact will arise .
ICS suffers from many varied problems with no two users reporting identical problems .
That is compounded by two factors one the boot loader and two as a beta test rom for some strange reason those with very little knowledge rush to install it .
But hey save money on the Samsung testing department just leak your Alphas and Betas .
For me i will play with a test rom for an hour or two but thats it i require a stable rom for daily use . It will need vast improvement for me to consider the final release of ICS for daily use .

GSMArena say that Samsung are launching ICS for the S2 in march
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_ii_and_galaxy_note_to_get_ics_in_march-news-3752.php
with this I imagine that stable ICS custom ROMs are just around the corner so if you can wait a few months more you will be able to flash a stable safe ROM without any problems.Until then the BETA versions that are out at the moment are going to cause these types of things.
I had these same isues with KP8 on my s2. I fixed them by flashing LP6 directly over kp8 without wiping anything. I think it may have something to do with the phone drivers you have installed on your pc. They may be damaged and be producing some kind of error on the flashing proccess. I recomend that you hard reset to 2.3.x and reinstall kies on your pc. That should reinstall phone drivers too. And make sure kies is NoT running while using odin. Kies doesent like odin

I have patience As long as I fallback to a functional rom everyting is cool. As for the alpha-beta testing, I have nothing against it and I didn't complain about it. Till March I hope the S3 is out so I can pass my S2 to my better half ...
Hello, I'm experienced in flashing and modding my phones, now it's Galaxy S2 International version I9100. I wanted to try official ICS firmware from Samsung, I've flashed LPQ, LPS, XWLP7, LP8, LP9 and after this, I've tried Lite'ning v2.8 and WanamLite v11.5 and THE SAME, after clicking "Save webpage for reading offline" browser force close, I can see black screen and after that I can see information: "Android browser was stopped"... sometimes phone reboots.
Before that I was using CM9, and there that option was working, ONLY on the Samsung stock firmwares it doesn't work for me...
I've tried to replace APK of browser from a lot of roms, and nothing, still broken. What is the most interesting, I've tried CM9 browser on Samsung stock rom and there that option worked for me each time.
What I can do? I've tried fixing permissions in CWM, wipeing cache and davik, flashing rom two and more times and nothing...
Thanks for any help, regards.
It's more a workaround than a fix, but http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ideashower.readitlater.pro
I know that app But it drives me crazy when somethings like this (main option I think so) doesn't work for me but at other people it does work well...
And the main question is: why? Why it doesn't work at me, but on the same firmware at someone other it works?
For everyone who experienced that kind of problem what me: solution for this was formatting internal memory, and that's it Now, saving works flawlessly.
Hi Team,
I have a GT-19100T which had the carriers firmware (Vodafail AU) 4.1.3 (rooted) running with no problems until recently (2 wks ago), prior to the fault I have had this phone for years no glitches great phone for its age.
I had let the battery drain, upon re-energizing the phone and attempting to turn on the wireless i noticed it just reported "Turning WI-FI on" and the toggle switch was greyed out. this would last all day. switching the phone off and on would not stop the process of the phone attempting to turn wi-fi on.
I immediately went searching forums and people suggested hardware fault or perform factory wipe through CWM.
Troubleshooting I have performed so far is:
- factory wipe and cache cleanup (not resolved)
- flashed to CM 10.1.3 (not resolved) (multiple times)
++++
OS: 4.2.2
Baseband: 1900TDULP4
kernal version: 3.0.64-cm-g9c2e2bc
++++
I have found from research that the Bluetooth and wi-fi are the same module (I maybe wrong) and Bluetooth is working fine.
So this leads me to suspect a software/firmware fault.
I'm currently downloading I9100TDVLSM_I9100TVAULSF_VAU.zip from (sam mobile) the latest release for this phone from the carrier to see if firmware will resolve the problem.
In the mean time any suggestion, advice, help or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe if someone knows of a file i can flash specifically for wi-fi module that I could try.
Thanks in advance

I have same problem few weeks ago when my galaxy on Stock Rom 4.1.2.
Later, I try to reflash again through Odin, then install CWM and I flash CM 10.2 4.3 through CWM and it solved.
I think you should try to flash Newer Rom version, example CM10.2 or SlimKat.
Good luck

Thanks mate for your reply,
I installed cm 11, this did not resolve it.
need the file for the radio/modem, i'm hoping this will fix it but not sure exactly what I am looking for.
**Update***
Just finished installing I9100TDVLSM_I9100TVAULSF_VAU (latest release from Sam Mobile) 4.1.2
Still wi-fi not working.
will try and install cm 10.2 on your recommendation huytrandinh
Okay latest nightly of CM is installed cm-10.2-20131216-NIGHTLY-i9100.
Still has not resolved the wi-fi issue.
anyone have a potential solution?
there is this post for S4, but obviously only viable for S4

Try to flash a modem using odin,
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Modem won't solve the issue as WiFi/BT drivers are in the kernel on the S2. OP was on the right track, but for whatever reason a clean install of stock didn't fix the problem.
Maybe try the 3 part firmware in Hopper8's Odin Troubleshooting thread, then a clean install of the Voda stock rom after that ?
There's 'WiFi fixes' (which are actually the LTE modem) for the I9505 as it actually has two separate modems, and the LTE modem also controls WiFi (which isn't the case with the S2 as per my comment above).

I tried the modems from here:
##hxxtp://###.veyka.co.uk/sgs2/radios/## (unable to post links ffs)
and few other random links from the forums

Thanks Mistahbungle,
I checked out that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345831
Nothing i could really use.
But I did try a few other kernels:
Siyah-s2-v5.0.1
Unfortunately as soon as flashing with other kernels the screen would go black after the initial boot logo.
Only way to resolve it not booting into the OS was to roll back to:
1. GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9 (flashed with odin)
2. flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.97 with CWMRecovery
3. install cm-10.2-20131216-NIGHTLY-i9100
4. then your general cleaup through cwmrecovery
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong when trying to apply another kernel.
anyone able to offer assistance please with right kernel?
cheers

Just found a post in that thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345831&page=6
Will try the 3 part rom XXLSJ for GT-I9100.
Fingers crossed
Yeah, that's what I suggested in my PP. Sorry, seems the 3 part was on HotFile & Hopper didn't have his own copy up somewhere.
The rationale was - there's possibly something from a previous installation causing your issues, and flashing the 3 part would wipe your phone. I realise you've done this manually, but at this stage you're fast running out of ideas before you declare it a possible hardware issue, and it was worth a shot.
So...What I'd try is - while you have a rooted phone, go into CWRecovery and format everything/ (not EFS though obviously, or your external card if you have one), then try re-flashing whatever stock firmware you have with Odin in download mode.
Edit - Also, maybe do a Google search for that 3 part firmware (details are still on Samfirmware, just that the files are gone), you never know, you might find it somewhere.

Okay just finished testing the rom by installing it via odin (3 part)
still has not yielded any favorable results .
Little disapointed as this was a great backup phone and served for the past 12 months as a mp3 player
Guess as they say; It is all planned obsolescent which is fracked ...
Thanks for the suggestion/help anyway.
I know this is an old thread but my gs2 had this problem and I was able to fix it. Using es file explorer made my way to /data/misc/wifi pulled up the properties to wpa_supplicant.conf and changed group to wifi...then wifi finished initializing...hope this helps somebody
Sent from my SM-T310 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
for consideration.
I have this phone. the GT-i9100. Had this issue also. I took it apart. The little onboard battery had blown and corrosion got all over all it.
and guess where WiFi hard is. Right Next door. I cleaned it up real good. Put it back together and WiFi came back to life.
So give it some thought guys.
