I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S IISGH-I777 from stock using Zedomax kernel. Now wireless won't enable. The last thing I did was back it up. Everything else appears to work.

Flash to Entropys kernel and that will clear it up...Zedomax's stuff isn't worth your time, it hasn't been supported in forever and is very unstable

I followed those instructions. First 12/8 is not longer available, or at least I couldn't find it anywhere under that thread. To make the long story short, I'm now sitting on Kernel version 2.6.35.7, Baseband I777UCKH7.
I used the 3/7 kernel from Entropy and flashed it with Mobile Odin Lite.
Wifi will still not stay on.
I do have clockwork recovery, (even Rom Manager Premium but I know not to use it) and haven't done anything with it.
Are there radio or modem drivers I need to flash or something?
Don't use ROM manager on this phone. It will break it.
As far as the main issue is concerned. You could always attempt a return to stock. There's forum topics with more detail in the adroid developement section.

The problem is 2.3.6 stock wifi gets broken when rooted. If you just wanted to root I believe you need to flash the 2.3.4 return to stock rooted file system package in the general sticky. If you don't want to stay stock just flash your new rom. I reccomend aokp 4.0.4 from the dev thread. Its bad ass. Either way your wifi will return once you flash the new rom. Flash it using cwm. Just read the return to stock thread all the info about the 2.3.6 wifi break is in there.

I've heard talk that you have to do a factory data wipe/reset in CWM after flashing a rooted kernel that includes CWM. Don't know why but it worked for me. You loose your stuff but you retain root and you get to use your wifi.
When that happened to me I wiped data, system, cache etc., then I flashed a rom from clockwork. That solved it for me.

I've spent the last 2 days trying to fix my mistake. I have the GS2 ATT version, and I didn't realise there was a difference between that and the GTI9100 S2.
I wanted to give some tips I learned on how to recover your phone if you make this mistake.
First, here are some posts you'll want to look at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 - Stock firwmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823 - Clockworkmod for the ATT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286192 - Cyanogenmod for our phones.
Using Odin and the stock firmware, you can recover your phone to a 95% working state. Once I got my stock firmware on there, I found that while making calls my phone made no sound, and the mic didn't work. The mic did work when I wasn't making calls though.
I reflashed the modem.bin file found on the stock firmware, not sure if its required but that is what I did first. Then, I unpacked the rooted stock firmware, and flashed JUST THE zImage file. After doing this, I rebooted, and my calls were working again.
After that, I installed the correct version of Clockworkmod, and then CM7 nightly. Now everything seems to be running great on my phone.
Hope this helps someone out there,

I flashed a KE7 I9100 build to my I777 and saw no ill effects other than incorrect capacitive button mapping. Which build did you flash? Did you make sure to wipe data factory reset afterwards.
So you are saying that you wre able to flash Euro ROMS and your phone booted just fine? Mine didnt boot at all. Did you flash the KERNEL for ATT on top of it ?

The simple thing would be to change out the sec_touchkey.kl with rootexplorer and take the sec_touchkey from system/usr/keylayout should fix the i9100 rom to work with the i777. Seeing as how this worked for the Captivate *i897* for jvr, jvs, and jvt darkyrom releases and I would assume that it would work.

Personally I would think that you had a bad flash? Did you flash through Odin or CWM? From what I have been reading the gb bootloaders between the i777 and i9100 are different and I can see if you used a custom i9100 rom flashing via cwm could cause that. Since I am not too sure on the sgs2 if the differences between the euro models versus the carrier locked, the Kernel will not fix the button mapping, I learned this with the captivate when I switched over to using DarkyRom jvr and jvs builds since they were the most stable of GB for the i897 captivate. Plus if you are going to run a i9100 rom, I am sure the modem will not work with the att kernel. Especially if the situation with the cappy is any indication that att kernel needs att modem and i9000 kernel needs i9000 modem. I will be able to know more as soon as I get my i777 tomorrow.
HTH,

Some people need to wipe or also flash the modem for 100%.
Also, people who managed to flash a bootloader without hardbricking can't get back to stock with any confirmed method.
I have posted bootloader dumps, but no one has flashed them and I'm not messing with trying to flash them. They are dumps from my device and that is the ONLY guarantee I provide for them.

I just got a SGSII from ATT. When I started it up, it upgraded the firmware to 2.3.6. Not realizing that this firmware JUST came out, I went ahead and rooted my phone via galaxys2root.com.
The phone is now rooted, but WIFI no longer works. I now see (when adding 2.3.6 to the google search) that that rom is currently a bit problematic with root.
Besides waiting until everyone figures out how to root 2.3.6, what are my other options? Can I revert back to an older (2.3.5) rom somehow?
I am leaving on a trip tomorrow and just need to get wifi working in the short term (in other words it is okay if I dont have root right now).
Thanks!
There is a simple way but a bit time consuming
see this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081
From the above thread, Use Entropy's return to root stock (method 2c) and follow the instructions which will let you return to stock with root.
Once you have done that, get FOTA update to 2.3.6. Wifi will work and you will still be rooted!
This is what I have done after my wifi stopped working..
Try this and let us know!
EDIT: Before starting the process, do a factory reset or wipe data and cache just to clean every mess!

There are multiple rooting methods, I don't know which one you used. It sounds like you used the custom kernel method.
Flash the stock kernel, OR there's a slight possibility that the update for my kernel I'm putting out tonight might fix things. It's untested and I'm busy prepping for the holidays.
Checked the site you posted, and it looks like you rooted by installing the zedomax kernel. You could install just the UCKH7 stock kernel and you would retain root, and you might get your wifi back. You can find the Odin flashable tar here. Or you can wait and see if Entropy512 posts his latest release of his daily driver kernel tonight, and flash that with ClockworkMod Recovery, which you have in the zedomax kernel.
The stock kernel is the original release, not the update, but it should work fine. But once you flash it, you will no longer have ClockworkMod Recovery, and you'll have to change kernels with a different tool.
this is how I fixed it
I reverted back to a stock rom with this this. Just download a file, untarred it and applied it (on a linux box)... yay!

Fairly certain the UCKH7 kernel will have the same wifi issues as custom kernels... The KK6 stock kernel is harder to find but it's floating around.
No luck so far
I'm having the same problem. So I tried the UCKH7 kernel and wifi is still hosed. I'm looking for the KK6 stock kernel to try it but so far I haven't been able to find it.
At least one person has said that the initramfs changes in Daily Driver 12/21 fixed it.
Not surprised UCKH7 stock failed... If it worked then a custom kernel based on it would've worked.
Hi,
I have the same problem, I rooted my i777 samsumg galaxy 2 with the custom kernel method by using the ZedomaxStock kernel. The wifi is not working now...
Is there any way, I can have it rooted and with the wifi working?. Can I just flash the kernel with the 12/12/2011 Entropy's kernel?
Entropy, could you send me a link to the driver...

Here is the stock UCKK6 kernel in an Odin flashable tar. Just pulled it last night and will be putting it in the Download Repository. This should get the wifi working, but it does not have CWM recovery.
uckk6_kernel.tar
Or, if you want to use Entropy's daily driver kernel, you must use the latest one dated 12/21/2011.
I just flashed it with the uckk6 kernel and the wifi is working again.

I can say that if you use entropys return to stock with rood and do the ota update after that you will still have root and working wifi, its what I did the other night.

I just did it a second time and now it is working but I don't know if I messed something else up now.. I can't flash a new rom. I am trying to install Unnamed rom. Keeps aborting.
I figured this will be asked before long. I read some of the long thread on upping to stock 4.0.3 but didn't see any definitive answers.
Here is my situation. I've had my phone for six months on stock 2.3.6 using Entropy's rooted package. Honestly, right now I don't want to run any custom ROMs. I may run CM9 once a final version comes out, but I don't want to bother with the nightly builds. I haven't had any problems with the stock firmware.
So, the other day I lost my phone. Fortunately I had an upgrade, so I got another SGS2. I again loaded Entropy's rooted package, and then upgraded to stock ICS from there. Everything went fine with the upgrade, but I lost root (not surprised). Is there any way currently to root 4.0.3 and keep the stock kernel and ROM?
I mainly want root to enable wifi tethering, which I tend to use often.
At this time, I don't know of any way to root the stock UCLE5 without replacing the kernel.

Ok, thanks for that. Apparently FoxFi enables wifi tethering without root. I'm sure someone will have a rooted package soon. I look forward to a final CM9 release.

You could go back to entropy's rooted GB package and then do as mattdm suggests...havent tried it though.
I have rooted stock LE5 with LE5 kernel but it does involve flashing the SGH-I777CWM recovery kernel, temporarily flashing a 3.x.x kernel to get root injected to the LE5 system, then some file manipulation/repackaging to include the LE5 zimage and flash again, and then pushing the recovery .img (or use rom manager app) to make it all happen...not a simple process if you've never done it but in my case it was worth it.

Assuming your phone is in fully working condition, then there is evidently something you are missing in your understanding of how the phone works. The SGH-I777 is different in that the recovery is built in to the kernel, and *not* installed separately in it's own partition. From reading the above, I'm wondering if your are trying to install a separate recovery, or if you art trying to install ClockworkMod from the play store by installing Rom Manager?
To help you get through this, I need to know exactly what you are doing that is not working for you, in a step by step explanation.
Thank you for your reply. I had feared this was a dead thread.
I am aware that custom recovery is embedded in the kernels themselves and not a standalone as I have encountered with my Hercules.
As for what I have tried. From manager from play store will flash 100% but never give me a complete notice which, I believe, is a successful download but not flash.
As far as kernels are concerned. I have used ones that are compatable with stock rooms. I've tried a couple that don't. All have failed to yield me with my desired result.
Is there a piece of code that I can modify to get the kernel embeded recovery to kill stock Sammy?

All custom kernels built for the I777 come with a recovery either based on CWM recovery or TWRP recovery. These kernels are usually compatible with the stock system which matches their version number. Once you install the custom kernel to replace the stock kernel, you will be able to enter recovery and it will be CWM (or TWRP in a few cases).
For Gingerbread, you can do this without rooting the device, since there is a Siyah kernel for Gingerbread that is available in tar format that can be flashed with Odin. To do this, flash the I777UCKH7 full distribution, which you can download from the Download Repository (see the link in my signature), then flash the tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash each one in PDA. Without ticking Re-Partitioning. You will now be able to boot into recovery and you will have CWM recovery where you can flash many types of custom firmware.
Another route you could take is to flash the I777UCMD8 full distribution from the Download Repository, then use the Framaroot app with the Aragorn exploit to root the device, and then use Mobile Odin Pro, or Mobile Odin lite to flash the AJK v4.9 NoSwap kernel which is compatible with the stock system. If you need additional instructions on how to do that, just ask.

Apologies for the desperate newbie question, but here goes--
I have followed the instructions in the stickied tutorials or tried to follow them so far. I rooted my SGH-i777 using framaroot. No problem there.
I got Mobile ODIN and the latest siyah CWM. I flashed the kernel.
When I try to power on I get stuck at "SAMSUNG" and then phone appears to power off.
I can get into recovery mode using vol up, vol down and power. I see the Siyah screen, etc. But that's as far as I can go.

Yes. Not to worry.
It sounds like the system is incompatible with the kernel. You didn't say which version of the OS you were running before you installed the kernel. Do you remember what it was? Which stock comes with the phone would depend on how old the phone is.
How to proceed depends on what you want to do. If you want to install custom firmware, then I would suggest that you flash one of the stock plus root packages with Odin, and then use Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin pro to install the correct custom kernel, meaning one that is compatible with the system that you chose.

Sorry for being dense, but can you explain what you mean by "flash one of the stock plus root packages with Odin, and then use Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin pro to install the correct custom kernel?" Or point me to a thread/post that does so? Thanks again :good:

Here it is (the stock + root rom): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322046
It doesn't hurt to do some looking.
Use Odin v1.85 for the flashing (google it).
Then find a kernel for your phone (don't try Siyah again :b), like for example, Entrophy's kernel, and flash the zimage file using mobile odin.

OK. The AJK v3.0 NoSwap kernel is the only kernel compatible with stock AT&T JB 4.1.2. However, unless you can get it onto your sd card, it won't do you any good at this point.
So I would suggest you flash UCLL6 stock plus root which is 4.0.4 from here. The OP has the complete guide, and links to working custom kernels. Once you get it up and going with a custom kernel, you can then flash CM 10.1, or anything else you want.
Edit: Cooked v1.6 as suggested by azeem40 is not Odin flashable. It is a CWM flashable zip, so you would have the same issue getting it onto your sd card. The above is your quickest route.
