i am having a problem with my samsung galaxy s2, the power menu doesnt come up when i press the shut down button but it switches off straight away, and the lock screen doesnt work, non of them does. i would be so grate full for who ever can find me a solution
Backup data and factory reset first .
jje
i would have said the same as jje said..
It happens exactly the same
my sgs2 doesn´t block the screen and when I hold the power button it turns off directly, I just Installed ICS and does not work either unlock pattern or pin just turn off the screen and when i push the home button or the porwer button just turn on, does not show any unlock screen, i´ve already done the factory reset and wiped cache and still the same, it´s the same problem i hope that anyone can help us please, thanks

Sounds like a bug. Try flashing DXLP9.

You're missing your /efs/imei/keystr file. Do a google search for "/efs/imei/keystr fix". You'll need root to apply the fix.

This MIGHT work instead of what I suggested above, but I didn't think firmware flashes included or built/rebuilt the keystr file. I could be wrong though.
same problem..fixed after rooting

The first thing I would try would be doing a full wipe. I suppose you just flashed it on top of GB.

I did the same thing (flashed XXLPQ on top of GB), and I'm having the same problem. No lock screen/phone isn't going into sleep mode. Long-pressing the power button gives no options but simply turns off the phone. So I've decided to do a full wipe, but at the risk of sounding like a total noob, what do I need to do exactly? I've already gone through CWM Recovery mode, wiped all the data and user cache. Also did a factory reset. That brought the phone back to default settings, but yet still on ICS, with still the same problems. I reflashed ICS and still no good. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but what do I do? I'm thinking I'm meant to revert back to GB, or maybe even back to the original stock build (though I didn't backup the ROM). But I'm also wondering how that would work without causing problems, since I'd be flashing an old GB build on top of ICS.
In short: I'm a noob and I don't know what to do. Please help!
Edit: I never lost the "NO" keystr file in my efs/imei folder.
Edit 2: FIXED! Both lock screen and power button options are back.
Despite having retained the keystr file, it was actually necessary to fix it up... Here's how I did it (make sure your device is rooted):
Download "Android Terminal Emulator" from the Play Store. Just open it and type in this code:
su
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync
reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And that's it.
I have since turned off my phone and turned it back on and it is still working fine, so you shouldn't have any problems retaining the file upon reboots. I hope this solves your problem.

-Exact model phone? (e.g. GT-I9100, or GT-I9100G?)
-"ics 4.0.3 any firmware" means what? Which ones have you tried?
-Did you try the OFFICIAL RELEASE 4.0.3 version? (i.e. through Kies?) I mean you could have been trying one of the leaks, which were known to have bugs.
i have gt-i9100, i tried leaked 4.0.3 europe I9100XXLPH_I9100OXALPH_OXA I9100XXLP2_I9100OXALP2_OXA and today i flashed it with I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_XEO_2 4.0.3 official andi flashed it with odin

Take a look at this.
EDIT: the thread linked only talks about the lock screen, but this reportedly also fixes the missing options on a long press of the power button.
problem solved as ctomgee mention
thanks
For ALL whoever are facing problems with the LOCK SCREEN here is the solution :
Tools Needed:
1. Hex Editor
2. Root Explorer
Steps to restore:
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 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
4. now go into hex editor and locate the /efs/imei/keystr file.
5. using hex editor the first two values in green should be 4f and 4e. all others should be 00.
6. make sure you save the file.
7. reboot.
Press Thanks, if it helps you...
Hey I'm having a somewhat similar issue... I was trying to update to the latest cm9 and a different kernel codeworkx made and in the process the kernel instal failed... right after that my power button stopped responding completely... and now it.seems.to.be responding buy not always... seems.to maybe be a hardware problem but I'm.not sure... because the issue started right after this bad instal... maybe its my imagination. But feels like when pressed at a certain angle it works... :-|
Anyway I was trying this method to see if it helps but my hex editor doesn't show me anything inside the efs folder to be able.to.edit it... with root explorer I see two ketstr files... one is just keystr... the other is keystr.bak... should I only have one file or what may be the issue here...?? Both of them are set to on tho... :-|
Any help will be highly appreciated since I really don't want to need to repair the button since there is no warranty on this...

Samsung S2 Screen lock and Flight mode not working
Hello
today i upgrade my Samsung S2 from 2.3.6 to ICS 4.0.3 with the help of ODIN
Details
Phone Brand: Samsung
Phone Model: GT-I9100
Build Date: 03/04/2012
Android Version: 4.0.3
Type: Unbranded
PDA: XWLP7
PHONE (Modem): DDLPA
CSC: ODDLP9
File Name: GT-I9100_INU_I9100XWLP7_I9100ODDLP9_I9100DDLPA.7z
After successfully upgrade i am not getting the option of flight mode after pressing the power button for a long time( my phone simple restart) also screen lock is not working in my phone.
I tried to check the file under /efs..but this directory is empty in my phone,
Can you help me in resolving this problem.
The answer is already in the thread. You'll probably need to be rooted to do the fix.

First off; are you rooted? If not, you need to root first. Then try the fix linked above.
Edit: oops... didn't see oinky's post.
I couldn't find anyone facing this problem but here it goes
I just flash stock official XWLP7 firmware with CSC JVLPB build: 03/04/2012
and the problem is that whenever i press the power button to lock my phone, it just turns off the screen, and whenever i press it back it just turns it on without going through anylockscreen even if i put a PIN or a PATTERN
Can this be solved??
Think i'V seen this before.....
Sure it is not a custom ROM?
Dial wipe code, or flash again.

yes it's not a custom rom, and I already did a wipe and flashed again, but still same
I had the same problem and i flashed again. Its the better way to solve it
Check if you have /efs/imei/keystr with "ON" inside it, if you don't, create it.
Have you looked under settings -> security to check the automatically lock setting?

Hi
I have a 4.0.3 france firmware installed samsung I9100G.But lately the no lockscreen problem (holding the power button will not bring the options and just shuts the phone off),ringtone and a few other problems started to annoy me really bad.
I'm thinking to install the 4.0.4 german firmware from samfirmware but how stable is it? is there any problem with the 4.0.4 or anything special i should know about it?
i have reflashed the 4.0.3 but those problems didnt go away.
thanks for any helps.
Go back to GB.For me that is more stable than ICS or JB.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
If the firmware is official, it should be stable. So, your choice: or GB, or ICS.

updated to 4.0.4 but nothing changed.
ok here are the problems:
- The power button options are not showing up. if i hold the power button it just closes the phone directly.
- The screen lock doesnt work. Wont lock the screen with any option there.
- The sim lock doesnt work. If i put the sim lock on (put a lock on the sim) the phone starts normally but wont let me call or text. So i have to disable the lock on the sim to make it work normal.
Now these are the problems i have seen so far. When i got the phone it was GB and there was absolutely no prob until updating to ICS. So whats the suggestion, should i give a try on custom firmware ICS or go back to official GB? if you say custom firmware then which one?

It's always recommended to perform a factory reset after upgrading your phone software

For me the samsung stock roms are like windows o/s.
GB=xp
Ics=vista
Jb=w7
A crude comparison......but vista was a pile of crap.....

1. If your phone is not rooted, root.
2. Create file /efs/imei/keystr, containing the word ON.
3. Make sure the file has rw-r--r--, or 644 permissions.
4. ...
5. Profit!

ok thank you very much bro. that did it
i first rooted the phone from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679778 with the option 2.
then used this little guide:
- Download "Terminal Emulator" app from market
- open it
- type into the command:
su
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync
Go to home, force close your terminal app, shut your screen off, and when your turn it back on your lock screen should? be there.
Obviously you must be rooted the "su" command
And for Signal Problem Simply do not put any pin on your sim ,,,
A family member gave me his old phone which is an Alcatel Pixi 4 6" 3 GB model 8050D. I didnt knew about this protection until it was too late and I wiped all the data so now Im stuck at the FRP and gmail asking "enter your old gmail account"...
After fighting the phone all I can do is enter fastboot mode and connect it to the PC using fastboot mode, I also can add things to the internal storage via USB cable, but adb.exe says that there is nothing connected in fastboot mode, and I cannot turn on USB debugging cause I cant get to settings.
I watched in the internet a video where people use an USB stick with an adapter and they install an apk within it but Im not sure if that will work and I dont have that adapter.
So my question is... Is there any way I can bypass this?
Now that I think, I have read something about 72 hours but I have read already several articles and I dont completely understand what it means. Will I able be log a different google account after 72 hours or is it something else? I dont mind to wait if its the first case.
Thanks you for your help
Note: I have read some about this and since this is an anti theft method and Im asking how to break it I might seem suspicious... I am not a thief but I cant really prove it in here -_-

Hello,
can't you use the setting hotkey to access the keyboard settings and change keyboards? or it directs you to the keyboard app itself?
you must then get the frimwire of the phone and flash it using flash tool
Good luck!
