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,

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 ...
I bought Samsung Galaxy Ace for my daughter and installed custom rom, everything was fine, worked so fast and smooth.
She was using Facebook when phone/screen became unresponsive. No matter what, reboot/battery remove, its still not responding.
Something like that happened when I took phone first time from box and started registration and etc. But it happened few seconds only. During the rooting, then flashing custom rom everything was fine.
Now, I am trying reboot and once it was responsive but then still stack.
The other problem is this phone I bought from 3 Network UK and now I can't find any stock rom for it. I was searching several hours for it, no luck. I want to return it to store but I am afraid if I'm not install 3 UK stock rom they will not take it back.
Please, if you have same experience about screen unresponsiveness, or have know where I can get 3 Network UK stock rom 2.3.6 version will be great.

I am also new to these modifications and stuff. However, just like any thing with processors, for me I think it would be about the ram and stuff. You need to free up some space I guess for you to get the phone running good again.
If this helps, check this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427612
It is already included in most custom roms.
I know you already know this, but if for some reason, you may need more info. Check this out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
I hope this helps though.
Thanks for quick response jangs_momoi!
I tried first link and installed it. Also I tried several custom roms but no luck. The screen is still unresponsive, other buttons works, I meant phone is working not freeze but screen is not.
Even if I try flash stock rom, it doesn't helps because I need 3 network stock rom not european one.

I really hope someone is able to give you a link to get that stock rom you need. I believe the screen is really the problem.
Thank you very much for you help. Yes, I hope someone will know link for stock rom, I still searching for it but nothing yet.
Have a nice day.

Hello everyone. It's been a year since I last came to this site. This is where I got all my info on rooting. I'm somewhat embarrassed to say I'm still running my Gnote on 2.3.6 GB, baseband I717UCLA1, Saurom.
Recently my Gnote has become incredibly slow. More force closed now than ever before. Battery life is next to nothing. A full charge will last me 4hrs...yes 4 hours with fulltime use (txting, calling, browsing, watching videos and playing games). It will last me about 10hrs if I don't do a damn thing on it except maybe check an email, a txt or the time.
I've come back to get info on upgrading to ICS or Jellybean. My question is, have I basically done the hard part already (rooting) and just need to download a correct ROM and flash away, is that correct? Or do I need to take additional steps?
My other question is, in your opinion what's the most popular ROM for the Gnote 1 out right now. I'm way out of of the loop and I'm catching up on my reading.
Thanks and it's good to be back to this site. Hopefully I'll stick around more often this time around.
wow a year?
surprised nobody else chimed in, but I think I can get you in the right direction. with a few questions for ya, I think you will be on your way. I am reasonably new to the Note, but not to rooting or flashing. yes, I have rooted Note and flashed rom's.
1.did you root a year ago or just now? not sure if it will work rooted, but Samsung should be able to get you upgraded STOCK ICS very easily. the only reason I say that is I have not seen that modem before.
2. are you wanting to stay stock or flash custom? the Samsung upgrade is going to only take you to ICS. if you want JB, you need custom rom. pretty sure you know some of this. either way I believe, even if you want JB, you need ICS first. again, I think modem is going to be issue.
3. (not a question) in any of these issues, I, myself always believe that returning to stock is the safe bet. then start from there. there are people here with more experience that may tell you you don't need to. I need that confidence and fresh start to know nothing is tainting my process, then I have to start over anyway, but that's just me.
I will, as others will, always direct someone to the "Super Everything Thread". ALL questions can be answered there. no matter which you wish to do, its all there. from how to's to every flavor of rom.
I am sure no matter what you want to do it could involve using "Odin". which you may have done already. just check that everything is up to date.
same thing goes for a custom rom if you wish. its not that older roms aren't solid, but you may not have the support you may want or need.
and every phone is different I am sure you know. so what is great on one, is not on all. also some of newer roms (and not all are available here) work better with alternative kernals.
alternative kernals now CAN allow things such as overclocking or undervolting. these can be a fine line providing better or worse speeds and battery life. often sacrificing one for the other. don't play with it myself or need to right now.
*******again, "Super Everything Thread" and READ, READ, READ ******
hope I helped at least a little bit

Personally I would suggest updating to the stock ICS and the re-root from scratch and flash one of the more stable ICS Roms such as Padawan v8, it's really stable, fast and has some note 2 features, really nice rom, stable fast and smooth. If you're wanting a JellyBean rom, I suggest one of 2 roms out there. The UnOfficial RootBox which is what I am running now, really smooth fast, no FC's so far all going good on it for the past couple of days or the Sons OF Android rom build 4. All are really great. Padawan is the most stable and still keeps you Spen sensitivity and features. Flashing one of the JB Roms, you will lose Spen apps. Hope that helped

Ok, even though I'm already rooted. I can just update to ICS using Kies or do I use Odin? Or does it matter? Also, if I'm updating to stock ICS with whatever method I won't be able to backup any of my apps and contacts correct? Since I'll be starting from scratch again?
You may want to update your recovery to avoid errors with newer builds before you flash another rom. I suggest latest twrp. As for contacts. Just sync them with gmail and they'll be restored once you sign in. As for the rom of choice. Read through the development threads, watch YouTube reviews and find one that fits your preference.

Well the problem I've now been having is I cannot connect to kies to upgrade to stock ICS. I've tried 2 computers. The problem in my PC is I'm unable to install Samsun USB drivers. I've uninstalled/reinstalled. I even plugged in the USB adapters on MOBO to different ports. I still get "?" for USB under device manager. WIth my laptop I'm able to install the usb drivers but kies never detects my phone. I get the error "this device is not supported by kies 2.0" I have USB debugging turned on. I though it might be the cable so I went and got a couple of $2 cables and still nothing.
It seems I'm stuck on GB or is there an other way to upgrade to ICS with kies??

You have to unroot to get stock update and use kies

No need to flash a stock ROM. Just full wipe and install the ROM of your choosing. More than likely you will want to update the baseband/modem/radio or whatever you want to call it. Easy to find and install. You can update recovery if you want or need as darkchyldx101 suggested.

This is what I did.
1. Unrooted
2. upgraded to ICS with kies

Thank you all for your suggestions and recommendations. :good:
Hi.
I'm on my 2nd S3 now. First one suffered from the "sudden death syndrome".
My 2nd S3 has been perfectly fine bar the odd lock up. It's rooted and flashed with Supernexus by Faryab on v4.2.2
It has been freezing a lot lately, maybe 3 or 4 times a day but over the past few hours, it's now locked up approximately 20-30 times and I have to keep the power button pressed to reboot it. I've uninstalled any apps I have installed over the past few days. Booted into recovery and cleared cache and davlik cache (it's now saying Android is Upgrading upon every reboot). I can't even get time to backup my apps using Titanium Backup without it crashing.
What is going on anybody? Any help is much appreciated.
Try having a read of the freezing thread over in general.

Did you do a full wipe including system format before installing the ROM? . It may be a data problem. Don't forget that 4.2.2 is also a beta firmware mate and not official like 4.1.2 so these things can happen. Also there are no custom kernels to flash to try and see if it's kernel based either.

Hey, yeah I did a full wipe including system format before I installed the new ROM. I've had this ROM for probably 3 months now and haven't had any problems with it up until the last few weeks. Infact 4.1.2 was killing my battery in a matter of hours. 4.2.2 ROM made me love my phone again as it fixed my battery woes!
This is so frustrating...
4.2.2 being a beta version can do this but re-installing can sometimes cure it though. Changing the kernel in 4.1.2 can give you better battery if you play around with a few and if course is more stable being an official release too. You can also try a different 4.2.2 ROM. They aren't all the same.
Thanks for the reply. Im not too comfortable/confident in changing kernels due to my lack of knowledge on them!
I do however like Faryabs ROMS as I like the original Android flavoured ROMS.
Will try a reinstall!

Will try a reinstall!

I have the exact same issue, I was running Faryaabs rom version M1, Android 4.2.2. And a couple of days ago, I noticed it started freezing, and I have to reboot with power button. Now I installed the leaked Touchwiz 4.2.2. but the freezing remains and it has started to be worse. As you mention, 20-30 times a day. I have noticed though, when I shutt of internet, both wifi and 3/4G I get less crashes. Have you noticed the same?
If you find a solution, please inform me to.
Cheers,
Niko

I think you may have found it
Wifi for example is controled by the kernel but there is no source codes released by Samsung so thats why there are no custom 4.2.2 kernels available for the S3 or you could flash one and most likely sort the problem out.
Its a shame cos there are for other phones on this version.
Hi dude
I went to the freezing thread here and found that the DFG method solved it all. So for anyone willing to try this please head over to that thread or just download the dummy file generator apps (2 in app store) although one is only necessary.

Hi,
Firstly thanks for time and sorry if this is a noob question but I only have a fairly small amount of experience regarding custom roms.
Here goes...
I have changed the rom on my phone about 5 times over the last couple of years and never had a problem. I have the latest version of teamwin and I'm currently running Android Revolution HD 50.0 by mike1986. This rom works great as have all the other I have used in the past ie Cyanogenmod, Omega etc but the problem I am having is over the last 4 months I am completely losing network and even if I try to search for a mobile operator my phone can't find any unless I run a full power cycle.
I have been reading as much online mainly xda-developers to find a solution to this problem but I'm afraid I'm now just running into a brick wall. I understand this could just be a hardware fault but I have read somewhere that I may have the wrong modem installed for my phone.
How likely is this? Can having the wrong modem cause intermittent problems? Also if this is the case where the I find a tutorial on correcting this issue. Plus which modem should I be using in the UK?
Again thanks for you time and any help would be much appreciated.
Mike
Do a full wipe and flash the latest stock firmware for your country, then factory reset.
Test fully before you install or restore anything. If it is still the same then probably hardware.

ok, Will do. I am just waiting for the UK stock firmware to download. I left it downloading while I was out this afternoon and for some reason it failed and now is asking me to wait an hour before retrying
I'll let you know if this solves my problem.
Thanks
ok..
I managed to get hold of the stock firmware from another site. I first installed a version of ICS so I could run triangle away properly after rooting with CF auto root as without doing this I couldn't reset my binary counter even after flashing stock recovery. Then I installed the latest version of JB and ran the official Samsung update to get my phone up to the very latest Official software with device status official.
So now my phone is completely back to if it just came out of the box. I finished late last night and installed nothing but WhatsApp. Then at about 3pm today again I completely lost network and couldn't restore in without a full power cycle. Even searching for Network operators in settings couldn't restore the connection. I can't think of anything else to try.
Any ideas what to try next please?
P.S. The firmware I installed is as far as I can tell for my location. I'm in the U.K. and I'm using the stock BTU version on baseband version I9300XXUGMK6
the same i9300 problem

O2 by any chance? .. if so it's a network issue. It happened to me a while back but cleared up after a day or two.

This is exactly the issue I have now - I can get some signal, but can't get anything in terms of using 3G/Mobile data :/
