Huh. That's weird, because the behavior you're describing sounds like what others have experienced when they flashed an I777 ROM to an I9100, or vice versa.
Ive had this issue aswell on every samsung (XXKP/LP) based ICS rom and solved it by doing the following:
Tools Needed:
1. Root Explorer (4shared is your best friend)
Steps:'
1. Using root explorer locate the /efs/imei/ folder. In that folder there should be a file called keystr. In my case the file was missing which is why the home-button, power button and the lock screen was missing and was causing my problems.
2. using root explorer create a new file called keystr
3. also in root explorer open the file keystr in text editor and type ON
6. make sure you save the file.
7. reboot.
I will be trying that tonight. Thank you very much for the help and quick response. Really appreciate it lots! Just to query.. what would be the cause of this 'glitch'? Being that the two phones were identical??

Try this, It wrked on a custom LP6 rom and might work with your phone, just get someone to ring it, you dont have to answer it, just ring it, and you should have home button back.
It sounds weird but I'm interested to see if it works on stock as well as the custom rom i tried.
K. Will try that too. Will keep you posted. Also a question from a buddy. The keyboard that comes with stock lp6, Samsung kb it guess is not qwerty, how to change it back?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Just to add. I had the same hardware button issue on stock lp6 and a custom one after that.. reverted back to 2.3.6 and no more error. Then cleaned and tried both Roms again same error.. and Another thing I picked up is when flashed, booting for first time, the ROM's don't in to setup wizard, they in straight to home screen.. I just found that a bit off. Where the second phone, being the phone of my buddy in the last post, went though the setup wizard? Go figure? 'These S2's seem to be a wild breed of animal??

I have XXLP6 on my s2 and it worked fine from the first moment. I think you did something wrong while flashing. Or mixed files or something. I have chainfires root kernel. Try that. It works cool for me.

Sorry pillow, but if you read all the posts then you would know that I did load the same Rom on two phones and multiple times at that.. and you can't realy do something wrong or mix up files when flashing with a cwm zip, its pretty straight forward..

On another note has anyone overcome the issue with connecting through usb cable in ics, I think they connect as mtp and ptp. Cause when you try to bondat with that on debugging or not, then windows 7 has no drivers to install.. I haven't tried xp yet, but I don't think it will have either then.. any thoughts??

Yup, that would do it. I didn't even think about permissions. I just assumed the file would be rw-,rw-,rw-. If one of the groups didn't have read, it would have failed.

My phone was rooted using zedomax's kernel, and is now running siyah. I had to reformat both my sd card and my internal storage so my backups are gone, and I'm unable to connect it to my computer to change kernels or anything of the sort. Every time I try to unroot using odin it refuses to work, and I'm just completely at a loss. I want to delete everything on my phone including the rom and basically reset everything on the phone. Is there any way at all that I can do that or am I stuck with a rooted phone that won't let me even connect it to the computer? I'm extremely frustrated right now, and just want my phone fixed.

I would say try mobile Odin and use dropbox to get the stock files on your device. I would be sure to read very carefully first. Maybe even try a different USB cable or a different computer. Also make sure your PC has the kies drivers installed. When you use Odin make sure Odin is running before you connect your phone to put it in download mode. Good luck

Its pretty easy, install the dropbox app on your computer and phone. You put the stock files in your dropbox sync folder on your PC and upload them. Then download them from your mobile app

This is probably a really dumb question, but what files do I need?
If your phone charges I doubt its a USB port issue and more likely a driver on your CPU or your missing a step in the return to stock thread.

OK. With the one click app open and your phone disconnected and turned off you need to hold down the volume down button and connect the micro USB. Then when the warning screen comes on press volume up.When you do that does a box on Odin turn yellow and say something like com6?

Indeed. Only issue might be putting on the right sdcard, either internal or external, for cwm to recognize it.
And just in case forums are still merged and skyrocket users see this, IT IS ONLY FOR AT&T SGH-I777 SGS II PHONES.
I don't want anyone messing up their phones because of me.

yeah should have stated that. but back to the question i asked. can i use the odin package and flash it or could something go wrong
Shouldn't be any issues as I'm pretty sure the PDA file contains the files to repartion. But I've never had to flash a phone through Odin to get off cyanogenmod. I've always run a backup of the previous rom I was on before I flashed cyanogenmod.
I've never done what you're looking at doing, so I'm cautious to tell anyone to do something I haven't done.
I wish the cyanogenmod forum had better instructions to revert to something else.

i just talked to entropy and he said that all i have to do is
2a.) Flash Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + Non-rooted System Package with Modem using Odin3 One-Click Downloader (Windows)
Download the "Odin3 One-Click Downloader Stock I-777 UCKH7 No Bootloaders" package from MultiUpload or MegaUpload. Extract the contents of the zip file to a directory on your hard disk drive. This is a One-Click version of "Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + non-rooted system package" plus stock modem from the development forum. (Contains stock zImage, factoryfs.img and modem.bin.)
Start the Odin3 One-Click Downloader program by double clicking on "I777UCKH7 OCD No BL.exe".
Now Enter Download Mode:
With the phone powered off, plug in the usb cable while holding the vol up + vol down buttons (but not the power button).
When the warning screen appears, press Volume up to continue into download mode.
In Odin, the small edit box in the upper left corner will turn yellow, and say something like [0:COM8].
Click Start. Watch the progress bar advance in green while the message box in the lower area describes the steps. When the flash is finished, the top left larger edit box will turn green and say PASS! and your phone will automatically reboot.
Unplug the usb cable from you phone after it boots up. Success. You're Bone Stock.
and ill be good

once again, it is not about receiving ATT DATA PLAN, it is about your phone NOT recognizing any sim card.
i flashed my skyrocket with ODIN once click ICS, which was very easy. however my DATA plan did not work, so i installed many different modems and no luck. i tried to change different ROMs and no luck.
so i went back to stock ROM, and no luck, then i tried to flash it again with same ODIN one click ICS that i used in the beggining, and i have my phone recognizing my SIM card just fine.
however, still no data plan, i guess it would be on att settings, but not sure which one to use.

I would put it into download mode and run odin or the Off ics to redo/repack your folders, then put CWM back on....idk
Just putting some ideas in, maybe the guru's will jump in on the thread...
Before nuking it like that... try going to mounts and storage and formatting cache
Although I'm not even sure that error is anything to worry about honestly...but i don't do nandroids personally so Idk for sure.
And Joe....stop quoting the op, please?
Does this error have anything to do with the CWM version being used? Its calling for the external sd card isn't it?
No it's calling on the /cache partition which is in the phone...
But it could be the cwm version, it's looking for a recovery log that it can't open.
I can't do anything with the cache. Its like it doesn't even recognize it. I noticed this when I went to throw another rom on and clear out my caches and it would just freeze. I left it for a half hour once just for the heck of it but it didn't do anything. I had to reboot the phone into recovery again.

What will "fix permissions" do?
I would downgrade cwm, I've been using brawway's touch version since he released his latest, without issue and i think that was in April or may
And fixing permissions, makes the permissions of all apps and .jars be what they should be.
Example: apps in /system/app need rw-r-r permissions, sometimes pasting some of those in will not set them correctly, and if you're doing a bunch at a time is a real pain to go through individually and change them, so that option makes sure everything everywhere matches the permissions needed. So, not applicable in this case.
Well I managed to get another rom on anyway so I don't think its big deal now. I think I might just leave my phone alone now
The collectives 4.04 aocp rom is pretty freaking sweet lol.

Yeah, That or there is also a .zip that can be flashed from your current version of cwm.
If doing it that way after it flashes go to advanced option and reboot recovery, then once in the new one, clear caches and see if that fixes the issue.
Or, just use Odin then boot into recovery and wipe, either way is up to you, but seeing as how it's cwm that's the issue, i might lean towards using Odin myself... Just note that will increase your flash counter iirc, if you care.

try updating your camera firmware by dialing the following code in dialer *#34971539#. also give other third party camera apps a go , by that you can confirm whether its a problem with your camera apk or other stuff
Try taking it out of system/app
Installing it
Then use titanium backup to revert to system app by long pressing camera.apk
If all else fails flash stock rom in recovery. Or did u have a backup from before the camera messed up?

Easier solution would be to just flash another rom with stock kernel and see

I had the same issue after rooting, only it's not limited to the Camera app! Any app which uses the rear camera causes the phone to first stop responding, then crash (screen goes off, have to hold power button for ~10 seconds to reset the phone or pull the battery).
I return to the stock (unrooted) ROM and all is good again.... this is annoying! An unrooted Android (especially the SIII) is like a rocket launcher with no rockets
Okay, a little more testing yielded that the Galaxy S3 Toolkit provided root images cause problems with my S3!
The CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar image worked fine (though I want to restore stock Recovery afterward, which isn't the easiest thing to do but I'm just lazy).
So yes, if you root and Camera-apps crash your phone, restore Stock then use a DIFFERENT rooted image until you find the right one for your phone

If you're going to be reinstalling the camera apk, I would recommend using this camera mod by HyperX:

Latest uses BLG1, is an awesome camera mod and great for high bitrate vids.

Well...
Thanks.
But problem still not solved
It seems like apk is not the trouble. Trouble is something else.
Bcos i even replaced the apk and results are same--> unresponsive camera giving error "Failed to Start Camera" after 15 seconds approximately.
Downloading stock flash....
And @LaKraven, You mean to say that we cannot root s3?
Also, IF i want to test different CWM, you mean that i will have to root, then unroot again, then again root!!?? Or just flash again with new CWM without rooting with odin?
I didnt use toolkit, i used odin to root. Using CWM 6.4. 6.1 Gave me error at recovery mode-> "Falied to mount sdcard" while 6.4 worked fine. Only camera......
Any tips guys?? Please i really need camera!!

try updating your camera firmware by dialing the following code in dialer *#34971539#. also give other third party camera apps a go , by that you can confirm whether its a problem with your camera apk or other stuff

SIr i tried it....
A black screen appears for about 5 secs and then it says, "Factory Test Has stopped working". PLease help
Is /data/cfw empty? If so (and only if so), then place either http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29498117&postcount=261 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29601758&postcount=315 in there. On my XXBLG8 phone I have SlimISP_ZD.bin in there - owned by media:system with mode 644 - but some phones need the GD module in there. After you've done that, flash either the Siyah kernel which accounts for this problem (and if you want overclocking) or the GalaxSih kernel which also accounts for this problem but does not allow you to overclock (which suits me fine - I have no reason to OC a quad-core phone)
I have a ATT sgh-1717 samsung note with Android 4.0 on it. I tried to root it this morning using Odin3 and pda.tar. It passed but I am unable to put on the next file Superuser 3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip. It just goes to a black screen with samsung logo. If I hold down the volume up and down at the same time as the power button I am able to go into Clockwork mode. I can not reboot my phone. What can I do at this point? Is there a way to copy the zip file to the sd card on my phone? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated! I have been reading all day and am quite frustrated at this point. Of course my schedule is on my phone....Thank you so much.

Put it on Download mode and go back to stock and try again. and Superuser can be install from the PlayStore
Take the sd card out and put it in a pc and copy the file to the sd card.

That is a great idea, but it is a mini sd...
How do I do that?

How do I do that? Where do I find stock? I had Superuser on my phone before I upgraded to 4.0 but I think it wiped out all my apps..
Please help I am lost.

You can easily get one I'm sure. Slow down.
Get an adaptor and go from there.

You. are right! I don't understand. I followed a guide and got stuck, now I am trying to get some help. I just wan to get my phone up and running. Please point me in the right direction.
I found the easiest way for me was to download custom Rom to sd.move it to external.odin cwm then flash twrp.reboot to recovery n wipe all caches.system.internal.not external.then install ur custom Rom.reboot system n let Rom settle.most roms already have the rooted files.if ur planning to stay stock.there's plenty of present roms for that.n make sure all the devs get their thx :thumbup:
