Hi,
Lately my GPS is not working at all. It used to work and I used it all the time. However since my recent flashed roms it stopped working. Its always looking for a gps lock, without succes.
I flashed a lot of roms lately, I don't know what caused the GPS to stop working.
Ive used all the GPS fix apps, also without succes.
Right now I'm on CM9 resurrection rom through Odin. Is there maybe some fix that will make my GPS work again?
Thanks
Look herehttp:// http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447599
Link is not working?, I appreciate the help though!
edit: Ok, I read the thread, will try this patch tomorrow.
I used the patch, but it is still not working. I'm clueless...

I have tried several GPS apps. None of them seem to work.
I've also tried multiple roms, such as ICS LPQ/LPB and some 2.3.6 roms. I don't know where and when I lost GPS functionality.
Which ROM is a good one to try and flash next?

I have done all this. Right now I am on a stock samsung 2.3.6 rom. There must be something else that will fix the GPS. I can't believe it is a hardware problem, everything else works fine, such as google maps location and compass...

I cant seem to get anyone to help me with this many roms for example that are on KI4 simply won't give me DATA. I have tried many different roms like for example
Villain Rom works just fone
other rom with different baseband just wont give me data at all...
Is there any fix for this? The H+ icon is just not showing and i cant acces the net (i checked in access points to make sure my APN is OK , everything is just fine over there.
Thanks guys!
EDIT: Problem Solved! All the roms besides AOSP,Villain were having incorrect APN's for AT&T. I had to manually configure and it worked! however i went back to STOCK rom with no root , that is fine for now as the performance is great on stock rom , until ICS oficcaly comes out.

I have the International SGS2. Now funny thing is i tried 3 roms and only AOSP rom would let me use data , but samsung roms won't that just makes no sence
Start with a stock rom and the correct modem and CSC for your country .
That fails its service centre .
jje
But now another question how come I flashed the AOSP rom which was using same BASEBAND as the samsung custom roms from here KI4
AOSP - KI4 works
Sammy Custom - KI4 does not.
can anyone link me with a STOCk rom for the international version? i was not sure which one to chose because it had different letter codes i belevie my version is UK i bought it on Newegg and its the international version. Thanks guys!
before u go crazy flashing roms/kernel over and over again please try this with the roms that doesnt work:
after u've flashed the roms check that data is not working but everything else is fine.. then install root explorer or use adb to copy "/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/nwk_info.db" to somewhere else for backup
and then delete the nwk_info.db and reboot
hope this fixes it

Everything else does work besides data. So you would suggest i use the root explorer from my current rom? which is AOSP and copy telephony databases? but would it work with sammy roms?
no no no u first flash the roms that doesnt have the working data network and delete the nwk_info.db ( only nwk_info.db ) and reboot. the phone will generate a new one.. i have had same problem as u when flashing some of the custom/official roms and when i do this it fixes it, also have u tried if wifi works?
ps sry for slow reply i was talking with my gf

your method did not work :/ is there any other solution?
I pretty much want to say its samsung problem.
I used to use sgs and when I was using stock rom data was really bad.
Then I used cm7, the data became real deal.
I think it may be same for sgs2.

Yes APN are correct. I went back to Villain 2.3.5 and H+ works however the rom feels slow.. this is the only rom that works besides AOSP roms
Would this work if.
I flashed new rom from Villain to any other custom sammy rom? without "WIPING". What do you guys think?
Here is what you can do before you get banned for posting in dev section .
Download correct stock rom modem and csc for your network .
download ODIN .
Reboot to recovery
Mounts and storage FORMAT sd card cache data system .
Phone is now empty .
Remove battery then go to download mode after putting battery back
Via ODIN flash stock rom .
Go to network you are using and find APN settings
Set manually and check APN
In power menu etc make sure DATA is activated on.
TEST
FAILS
Reset rom counter to zero with USB jig then return phone to service centre .

Just one thing reset rom counter to zero with usb jig , since i can get into DOWNLOAD no problem without a JIG how do i reset it anyway?
EDIT EDIT : the issue was roms were having incorrect APN's i manually created one and it works.
Went back to Stock 2.3.6 Rom. With NO ROOT.
Thanks for helping me solve this issue everyone!
Hi,
Sorry if I don't write correctly in english.
I never had an Android smartphone and I just bought to someone a Galaxy S2 with an operator customization.
I notice that the two sensitives buttons MENU and BACK (at the left and at the right of the HOME button) are not illuminated but they was 2 days ago.
They work perfectly but I never see the white light.
Because I'm a new Android user I don't really know if it's a customization or not so I decide to flash the S2 with a stock ROM but the problem is still here
Here is the details of the smartphone:
Android: 4.0.3
Baseband: I9100XXKPA
Kernel: 3.0.15-I9100XXKPA-CL51925 [email protected] #3
Version: ICS.XXKPA
A guess its whatever customization has been made to the phone .
No ICS release for SGS2 what has been flashed on the phone .

Thank you for reply
But I don't understand everything :/
You say that I should not install a version 4 because this is an ICS ROM and there is no official ICS ROM, is that correct?
Whatever, I will do what you're suggesting to me installing this ROM:
I9100XXKL1 2.3.6

I tried to flash with a STOCK ROM 2.3.6 and there is a new problem...
Windows doesn't recognize my phone at all!
I tried everything: install Kies, uninstall and install again, nothing...
I did the same with the drivers and again with the version we can find on the Web, nothing...
I can't see the phone in the ODIN MODE either
I'm totally lost, is there a way to flash completely from the micro SD card?

I tried to flash in recovery mode with a Cyanogen file:

I copied this file on the SD and I have a KERNEL PANIC, UPLOAD MODE :/
There is also this line in red:
RST_STAT = 0x20000000
Edit: The phone boot normally but I still can't see it on W7 and the buttons MENU and BACK are still not illuminated :/
I have a suggestion...
Please read a few posts and a lot of Howtos and FAQs. You're just messing with the phone without any clear knowledge and you'll brick it sooner or later so spare yourself a trip to the nearest service center and !stop flashing random files!.
Now for my next suggestion. Get Odin to run and/or use mobile Odin and quickly flash your stock rom. You have 15 minutes to refund and it should be plenty of time to get your phone back to stock. Then check if the lights are working and go return the phone if they still don't work.

Right. Now that you have flashed CM7 with the new bootloader, there is no choice but to re-install a stock Gingerbread firmware (or bootloader IIRC) through Odin.
Your original button backlight problem was probably with the extremely old ICS leak that you installed.

Not so old! ^^
Do you know if the I9100XXLPH (09/02/2012) is stable?
I have the same issue; the buttons are not responding and light is off even if I set it to always light.
I have another issue which is the speaker doesn't work too!
Is there a way to find out the original soft using the phone IMEI or SN?
Thanks :good:

Start off with finding out what model phone you have. It's on the label under the battery.
Hi,
Just "upgraded" from an old Cyanogen ICS (didn't use the phone for more then a month) to the LPQ Samsung ICS through Odin.
I did wipe cache and dalvik.
Samsung ICS seems to work just fine, however the camera fails. Flashed back a recent Cyanogen rom (cm-9-20120318) and also here the Camera fails.
Camera worked fine when still on unrooted GB 2.3.6 last time I checked about 2 months ago, and I haven't dropped the device afaik.
My guess is that while flashing roms about 2 months ago I did something wrong somewhere... Maybe overwrote the camera firmware with something stupid?
Is there a way to get the camera to work again?
Thanks for listening..
Im not that technically minded but isnt there a firmware update for the camera on the "samsung apps"..er..bit of the phone? maybe installing that will fix it?
Thanks, installed it (on ICS) ...
But the update program crashes...
I think I am going to follow the bricked phone procedure....
Unless someone has a better idea
Well, unfortunately I can't find a original rom package with pit file and the lot (seems to me this comes most close to a very fresh install)

Like I said, I am afraid I messed something up while flashing some time ago. (got a Gnote, so didn't bother so much) Flashing a recovery won't hurt (if I can find the damned I9100XXKI3.rar with the pit and such) and I already flashed an official fw, with clean caches and so.
Do note that bricking and firmware aren't even remotely connected. What you're describing sounds like a camera firmware problem and flashing won't help you.
Call *#34971539# and check your Phone/Cam Fw version. What do you see?
Use a stock rom for your phone and try to flash new firmware via Samsung apps or take it to a service center.

Installed 2.3.5, and the Camera firmware update program. This program also force closes.
Now, I'll try to flash kernel and bootloader, as in the recovery post.
Flashed Kernel and Bootloader as in the recovery post, did not help. still "camera failed", *#34971539# still crashes Factory info, Camera FW Update program still force closes.
What more can I do to get the camera working again??
(I must have messed up something while flashing some time ago, I remember also seeing a "dead" android character with his belly open while rebooting in recovery few times...)
Oh, btw, even with non rooted official firmware and kernels, Kies says it cannot update the firmware (2.3.5 and 4.0.3)
Is this because my flash counter is at 4 now, or is there another reason?

I have the same problem, and bad news is that it is not the software issue, it is a problem with hardware. I just discovered (just now ) when i press the phone hard (around simcard area) the camera works fine! Hope this is just loose connection. Going to get my screwdrivers right now...
My E4GT has been acting identical!! I also tried reinstalling EVERYTHING. After reading your posts I starting pressing around on the back of my phone with the back cover off and the camera starting working. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction...
same problem
Black screen again
Same problem again!
My phone accidentally spent some time in a bucket full of water (over a minute!). Took me almost an hour to get it working, but unfortunately the camera wasn't working again (black screen). As I have had some bad experience with the camera before, disassembled my phone, disconnected the camera, carefully cleaned everything and I put it all back together. Camera working again!
The whole process is very easy and took me about 20 minutes!
Same problem!
My phone after falling down the camera stopped working (black screen). I changed the camera did not work.
can you help me?
thanks
Hi guys, gutted that I have to post asking for help as this is the first problem i have ran into with my gt i9300! I have flashed countless roms in the year or so that I have had it. Never an issue. Recently I installed pacman rom with pdroid injected to the handset. It worked and pdroid was excellent. After being prompted to install an update from goo manager for the rom. I decided to do so before starting to customize all my settings. One the update had been flashed via CWM and rebooted it got stuck with a fc toast telling me that the google account setup process was not working. I eventually got past this issue but found that pdroid was not working. I decided to go back to the previous version which I know worked fine. I performed a full wipe/format before doing this to make sure there were no downgrade issues. The rom installed fine but from this point onwards no sound has come from the speakers. I have tried a factory reset and that didnt fix it. So I figured id try a different pdroid supported rom Jellybeer. On successful installation and bootup the no sound problem was still present. At this point I was getting quite annoyed as I have messed with this phone so much without an issue! So I then thought I would revert to 4.1.2 stock via odin. This was also successful but on bootup it was evident the problem was not resolved. I have run out of ideas. I find it hard to believe it is a hardware issue since it hasnt been dropped or mistreated between rom flashes. Has anyone else had prdoid/jellybeer/pacman related sound loss issues? I would greatly appreciate any help here!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply jje. This is gonna sound silly but my last good nandroid is on a hard drive that I cannot access at the moment as I gave it to my friend who lives quite far away so they could watch the films I store on it. Worst of all, they dont have the internet to send me the file! I really should have done one before going to pacman. But I knew i had at least three or four stored not thinking I would need them. Is there a repo for nandroids for this purpose? I have a feeling I performed the downgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2 incorrectly. What do you think?
Sounds like mesed up firmware ..
Via recovery format sdcard data preload and system that will wipe the lot .

I tried didn't worked.
I did a factory reset, tried different roms, flash the original rom with odin.
I order a replacement speaker and I still have the same issue the ringer speaker generate so much noise you can barely hear the music.
Please help me i manually updated my s2 into a jellybean 4.1.3. The problem is that when i was listening to my music and tried to change tracks.. the screen is just black but the music keeps playing. even when i unplugged the earphone and plugged it back in the music kept playing. then i removed the battery and start it it's just stuck in the welcome screen. i tried to put it in recovery mode but it doesnt work. i tried to wait it out for almost 30 mins to reboot but it's just looping.. now it wont start. im still charging it and the welcome screen just pops out of nowhere, what am i supposed to do??? how do i fix my phone?
If you've got no recovery you don't really have any other option but to flash stock in download mode with Odin. Get a stock rom from Samfirmware, boot into download mode, flash with Odin (How ? Thread stickied near top of Q&A titled 'Flash stock firmware' has instructions). Problems with Odin flash ? Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General has all the info you need to get a successful flash.
You won't lose any data simply flashing stock, but be aware this may not fix the issue on its own & you may need to do a factory reset after the flash to fix it (may still bootloop after flash) - you will obviously lose data if you need to do this.
Also think its worth a try to boot int CWM recovery if you have it installed or any other recovery and do an factory reset, but like the post before me, i suggest to install a new rom 4.1.2 becaus it looks like the one you were on had corupted files. Try and see, google for info, we are here for you =)

well thats def. the soft then. You still could manualy try to replace system apps with root acces and programs but there coud be more things broken that you wont record on first sight, rly would recomend to install new firmware with Odin, then you would see further what to do, if your problem is solved:fingers-crossed: wish you luck

I would prefer twrp becaus of my lack of volume buttons, but on cwm you can go to mount and select usb storrage or somethink like that and upload your CWM rom on it, and then do again f.reset, wipe system and data in advanced and install zip from sd card think, in cwm recovery. Then you have your new rom on it. And after that you can solve your usb conction problem, mabe some drivers are missing so you could reinstall it, but i newer had that problem on my win7, the basic drivers that it auto downloads are working for me

this one is neat rom custom 4.1.2 its tweaked with advanced functions and... well there is lot to read but its an rly nice one, if you need stock go for google or search on xda for cwm compatible gs2 4.1.2 rom or gs2 4.1.2 rom for cwm

i tried it last night. flashing via sd card still nothing. E: signature verification failed is showing. and i tried everything you said too. still nothing. i follwed every step that other people told me. :'( still nothing is happening
I had a problem when my Samsung Drivers recently updated themselves.
I had to uninstall my SGS2 as a device then download some older drivers which I found on here -

The Mirror link in post #1 not the main one.
After that my PC could start talking to my phone again.
you will receive "signature verification failed " when the file you are trying to flash is not flashable. maybe it was a bad download. if you want to try the same rom again. download the file from the thread again else try some other rom.
if you have reached till recovery then it shouldnt stop you from flashing a rom/kernel.

Hi! so i did flashed my phone and everything is done correctly.. still the cam and earphone jack didnt work so i went to samsung smartcare center and the told me that i have to pull it out coz the issue of my phone is a board problem... is there anyway to fix that? im from the philippines btw... i remembered that when i went to the gym that's when it all started. When i disassembled my phone there are white smudges around the cam and earphone jack area it was kinda hard and it looked like a dry liquid so maybe i thought that caused to make a short circuit (is that correct?) that's what i thought what happened to mess the cam and earphone jack.. is there a way to fix the board? i cant let my phone go to waste it has a sentimental value.
Corrosion/damage to the motherboard = motherboard replacement. Replacing individual components would cost you at least twice (and more) as much as a new board if it was possible (and it's not), and almost nobody would attempt it for that reason, let alone the size of the components on the board/how fiddly it would be.
Chances are you've got multiple components failing.
So, Samsung service centre does not suck, your post is wrong & they are telling you the truth.
