[Q] Ressurection rom 2.0 unresponsive screen - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
i upgraded from RR 1.8.1 to 2.0, i did everything as instructed (including removing old kernel files), after i booted the phone for the first time i noticed that i have moments when the screen is totally unresponsive, for instance sometimes when i wake my phone i can see the screen turn on but the capacitive buttons dont lite up and i cant unlock my phone, nothing responds, sometimes after about 5-10 secs the capacitive buttons turn on and my screen starts responding again... it also happens some times on answering calls and ending calls, same procedure.
has this happend to anyone? also on 1.8.1 i didn't have these problems...
one last thing i noticed that wifi glitches a bit, i turn wifi on but it doesn't connect to any network, saved or just random open but as soon as i turn it off and on again everything is back to normal. again didn't happen in 1.8.1?
i hope any one could help,
thanks in advanced...
Edit:
forgot to say i have a Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100

follow the original topic of resurrection remix...last 45 pages..and u find the solution.

You need to upgrade your Kernel to latest syiah kernel (3.2.6.4) and those issues with locking and WIFI should go away. here is the link:
http://gokhanmoral.com/
Please make sure that you remove root from Extweaks as per instructions after installing the Kernel. The kernel can be flashed using CWM.
p.s. dont panic, removing the root access will not remove it as extweaks will re install it after rebooting. Just make sure that install root on reboot box is checked in extweaks. Removing root option is available in MISC tab in Extweaks.
Good Luck

thanks for the quick response i installed the new kernel, fingers crossed, it seems to make the phone respond quicker. ill try it out hopefully it will solve my problems .
BTW i saw there is a new SiyahKernel v3.2.7.1, no link yet though, should i upgrade once it will be available?
Thanks again...

I would suggest that you hold for a couple of days and keep reading the ROM thread to see if any issues are faced with new kernel.

[Q] Frequent random reboots [KS2/KS3 stock/custom]

hi.
i flashed stock rom S5830XWKS2 through Odin. the phone started rebooting randomly.
then i flashed custom rom TheMyth KS3 but the problem kept getting worse. when i'm using the phone, it reboots every few seconds.
i flashed stock rom S5830XWKS3. but the Baseband version in the phone didnt change (S5830XWKS2). and the problem is still persistent.
the phones does not do full reboot. it freezes, the screen goes black, then goes strait to the boot animation.
also, if it reboots while transferring files through mass usb storage, the transfer doesnt stop, to continues normally.
1. any idea why is this happening?
2. why didnt the baseband version change when i flashed KS3?
3. do you recommend another stock rom to flash.
p.s: KS3 seems fast. i got 1040 score in quadrant on stock rom.
i would appreciate any help. thanks

Hey !
The Baseband Version is KS2 while Build is KS9 (in my stock rom)
If you end in Bootloops, press Power + Home till you get into recovery, then Clear data/Factory Reset and clear Cache, then reboot.
Come back and tell me if it worked for you.
Greetings
thank you for your reply.
it's actually not a bootloop. the phone boots normally and works fine for some times (few seconds/minutes) then it freezes for few seconds, then the screen turns black for a second, then shows the boot animation (doesn't show the boot screen with the samsung logo). it works fine for some time, then again.
it seems that the problem is related to the wifi. it only happens when wifi is on.
On Samfirmware.com they say that you should make a Factory Reset after flashing, maybe that works for you ? I flashed the KS9 Stock today and had some problems till I did this in Recovery. Else I would have no Idea, maybe reflash or get another Version ?
You could also try to install any custom Rom, like Jusada´s ICS for example, just to test if there are problems with CM also ..
Umm, maybe a question to those who only touch the Earth to answer our Newb questions...is it possible that the Ace restarts when it get´s attacked from the outside ? I faced that after flashing a Rom that I modified and didn´t have the right Permissions the Phone restarted/bootlooped when I tried to install any App (\data\app wasn´t set correct)
Greetings
thank you. i guess i'll try to flash again. or maybe try a different stock.

He should try to upgrade to KS3 v1.1. That's final update for TheMyth KS3 with:
- Meizu Myth theme
- BLN Control activated
- changed some small things

my first attempt was with KS2. that's when the problem started, even before i install TheMyth. The 1.1 update didnt help either.
I guess my phone is not getting along with the KS2 baseband. i will just switch to GingerReal, hopefully it will be stable.
thank you everyone

[Q] WiFi Stuck at "Turning off..."

Ok, so here's the deal.
After I updated my s3 to Jelly Bean, the following problem started to appear:
Sometimes when WiFi turns off either manually or automatically (I have Tasker which turns off WiFi when screen goes off), WiFi gets stuck at "Turning off..." and doesn't react on any actions.
The switcher gets greyed out and I can do nothing about it. The only way to troubleshot it is to restart the device. Once restarted, everything works fine, but, as you already guessed, it works not for too long. =)
It all depends how lucky I'm. Sometimes the phone can work the whole day without causing the glitch, when I'm not that lucky I have to restart the phone a couple of times during the day. <- really annoying.
The phone is rooted with Galaxy S3 Toolkit by flashing an insecure boot image.
I tried to do factory reset but problem still remained.
I have attached a few screenshots as a proof as well as a screenshot showcasing my phone's firmware specs.
Any ideas or help will be appreciated.
I would blame Tasker try uninstalling and test .

Thanks for the reply. But it seems like this is not the problem with Tasker. As I stated in my previous post, I did factory reset my phone and the problem still remained, though no third-party apps were installed other than those that came stock.
I can reproduce the bug very easily: all I need to do is to turn my WiFi on using the icon under notifications bar and then, once it gets turned on, quickly tap the icon again to turn WiFi off. At that point WiFi gets stuck.

What date is your kernel - August ? If you have a late build of JB the stock JB on my S3 had a kernel build from 19th October.
You may need to just flash back a later stock boot image you will retain root.
Fixed things for me - just extract the boot.image from a full stock rom and use the toolkit to create a flashable tar should fix your problem and improve the battery life

Did as you suggested, tested it a bit and everything works like a charm. The problem is gone, plus I now see more RAM in the Task Manager (this was another issue I was thinking about), and the whole phone seems a bit smoother (maybe this is a placebo effect, dunno).
So thank you very much and you have my appreciation.

Could this perhaps be brought to attention again please?
How exactly did you fix it and did it involve losing any data?
NVM: Just download and flash Siyah. Probably the easiest fix.

I don't know about Siyah - I simply took a stock kernel, prepared it with the toolkit and flashed it with Odin. This was pretty easy and it worked.

Phone 'freezes' and goes black

Hey guys,
having a trouble for the last couple weeks.
about 5-6 times a day, with no apparent reason, nor something specific i'm doing.
my phone suddenly freezes and the screen goes black, and the notifications led goes blue (not blinking, permanent blue).
only way out of this is long pressing the power button, and the phone goes back on, as if it was turned off.
tried to find out the source of the problem but with no luck.
i'm using
GT-i9300 S3
Rom: cfDroid v13.1 - based on XXEMA2 (4.1.2 android)
Kernel: Perseus alpha 33 (the latest)
Modem: DXELK1
Mods: JKay, acid soundmod, and some other that comes with cfDroid rom
Anyway to pin point the problem and take care of it without having to fully wipe and install a fresh rom?
if you need any more details please ask and i'll post.
Thanks
Are you undervolting the cpu?
No i dont

Re-flash ROM you're using, wipe cache and Dalvik only, if still no improvement change kernel.
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app
i have the same problem. wiping dalvik cache and cache doesnt fix that problem.
Rom: Omega Rom v43
Kernel: Perseus 33.2
currently im switching over to yank and report back, if the problem is gone.
Hey, please update if it is kernel related.
i want to know this before re-flashing the rom
Thanks!
i'm running yank since 2h and the problem is gone... please test this and report back, so we can send Andrei a message.

Hi there.
I got a very similar problem.
Screen freezes and turns black.
I ran an continues kernel output and saw a mmc action, but i removed the card before i booted up.
(See pastebin below for kernel log)
And besides the screen is black and the device isn't responding, the kernel is still active and running.
First my specs:
Model: GT-I9300
Android: 4.1.2 (latest Stock)
Base: I9300BUEMA1
Stock-Kernel: 3.0.31-919627 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
Build: JZO54K.I9300XXEMR2
Modifications:

SuperSU (0.99)
Busybox (BusyBox v1.20.2-Stericson (2012-07-04 21:33:31 CDT))
My kernel log:
pastebin.com/hRSpzu0D
I hope somebody is more kernel knowledge can take a look at the paste.
Thanks in advance.
Ok too early to be glad.
the problem is back, only now its less frequent, and the device simply turns off.
no blue led.
Now trying to flash Yanks kernel and will report back in a day.

I am on stock. I only added root to be able to see the kernel log.
So it appears to me it isn't really rom related. More like 'something in 4.1.2'.
I wish i could put my finger on it.
Regards.
edit:
Maybe we should start to compare the hardware components?
maybe I solved that.

There was some user reported that problem the last few days...
I had a similar issue, opened a thread yesterday, followed after Slaphead20 advice and make a factory reset.
what i've done was:
factory reset, cache delet from the recovery mode.
flashed and old rom, let kies do the upgrade.
(backed up through myback up) and re-install only what I really needed.
now the phone seem to be running much faster, no lag at all.
i'm still waiting to see if it's freeze.
Still, I think it a software related since so many users start feel those freezes at the same time, it might be some bug in the last update.

OK after running yank555 kernel for couple of days,
the problem still occurs, only now its more rare (1-2 times a day)
and now no led blinking in blue - the device turns off completely

Rooted S2 months ago, acting up now and won't boot (regular and recovery mode).

Preface: I have zero knowledge of android development and rooted my phone myself.
Some months ago I decided to root my S2 i777.
I followed the instructions on this page word for word: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-ics-on-att-galaxy-s2-sgh-i777/
I decided to do it after my stock was getting laggy and was randomly shutting down and throwing the battery calibration off. After reading the good feedback in that page's comment section. I gave it a go.
Everything went fine and my now-rooted S2 was no longer randomly shutting down!
I noticed though that the caera and video playback stopped aorking. As in, the screen would be black. I could still take pictures, but I would knot know what it looked like until it was taken. That didn't bother me much though since not having the phone shut down random;y several times throughout the day anymore was more than worth that unfortunate loss.
Today, though. It started randomly cutting to black and boothing constantly. My battery calibration was all over the place. It has restarted at least 10 times today.
I talked to my friend that originally conviced me to root and he said to do a factory reset. I backed up my contacts on my SIM and did so.
Now it won't boot past the screen that reads "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-1900" with the yellow warning triangle underneath (this is wha tthe boot screen changed to after rooting.).
I can not boot into recovery mode via keeping all three side buttons pressed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Click the return to stock thread in this guys signature . Creepyncrawly has all the links http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2916435
@GPS_Music,
If you still want a rooted phone, then rather than flashing straight stock, why don't you save yourself a step, and flash Stock plus root. The links in my signature give pretty clear directions.
Since you originally rooted with files from GalaxyS2Root, the problems you have experienced are very likely related to the quality of those files. If you avoid GalaxyS2Root in the future, and use files from these forums, you will have a much better experience.
Since you want JellyBean, after you flash stock plus root, you could follow my guide to install a custom kernel which contains ClockworkMod Recovery, and then flash one of the fine JellyBean firmwares available in the development section.
If you have any questions as you go along, feel free to ask them in this thread.

Thank you for your reply.
The main reason I opted to use that site was because of the ese of the steps, as well as the pictures. I wanted a method that was clear so I would minimize me messing up. I will look into your signature links now, but I should note that I don't recall stating I wanted JellyBean...my phone is 4.0.x last I recall, which is ICS.
Hey creepyncrawly,
I was able to download the material from your signature yesterday, but unfortunately my battery wa too low to safely put into downlaod mode (according to the phone, which read something along the lines of "Battery low! Can not download!" in red).
I tried charging it before I went to bed but it would not go past the screen that shows the battery indicator with a loading circle int he middle (which was not rotating). It would then go black and the screen would "retsart" constantly to black screens (I did not notice this until I turned off my room lights, the screen was very black but I could tell it was turning on and off).
I am trying again now to charge it but I seem to be having the same issue. I will leave it plugged to my charger for an hour and then try to turn it on.

It sounds to me like you're trying to put it in Recovery Mode. Download mode is something completely different. Here's what you can do:
- Take the battery out.
- Leave it out.
- Hold down Vol Up and Vol Down.
- While they are pressed, plug the phone into your computer.
This should place you in Download Mode. Then used Odin to flash the Stock Plus Root package.

Download mode is what I was intending for, and Vol Up and Vol Down is what I was pressing.
Are you saying to leave the battery out completely during the entire proces? That doesn't seem right.
As of now, I still can not get my battery to charge. I wonder if the ATT store cna loan me a replacement battery for a little bit.....

It worked! Thanks so much!
However, It reverted me back to jellybean 2.3.4 and feels sluggish compared to when I had ICS, should i manually update it or should I install come custom rom?

I think you mean Gingerbread 2.3.4. Also, if you're rooted, never attempt an official update.
You can do what you want, but if you want my personal opinion, I would suggest a custom rom. If you think ICS was fast, wait until you try Jellybean. If you want a Touchwiz rom, probably go with ShoStock 3. If you want a more stock Nexus-ish flavor, give Task's AOKP a try. Just remember to follow each thread's installation instructions exactly, which means a full wipe.

The main thing I am looking for is a smooth interface, minimal lag, and reliable. Which ROM fits that description? And may you link me to it's instructions?
Thanks!
NOTE: I just experienced a random restart. I was using the phone and the screen suddenly went black and bootted again. This is the same issus I was experiencing before I re-rooted.
Should I be concerned?\
EDIT: It happened agian, not even a minute after the previous one after it was all re-booted up.
I am seeing he following under About Phone:
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband Version: I777UCKH7
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UCKH7

Either of the roms I mentioned will give you a smooth interface and be reliable. And no, you can get to the instructions yourself. I'll give you a hint; the ShoStock 3 instructions are in the ShoStock 3 thread, and the AOKP instructions are in the AOKP thread.
It's pretty clear you don't really know what you're doing, so I'll spoonfeed you a little more. You're not going to use Odin to flash the rom. You're going to use CWM Recovery. You can get CWM Recovery by flashing a kernel that includes it. Here's what you do:
1. Download rom of choice and save it to your SD card.
2. Install Mobile Odin Lite.
3. Download Siyah kernel.
4. Extract the zimage and save it to your SD card.
5. Use Mobile Odin to flash the zimage.
6. Boot into Recovery.
7. Wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache.
8. While still in Recovery, install rom.
9. Reboot.
Most people will not (and should not) be as helpful as I just was. In the future, read read read. Read the stickies, search for threads that deal with issues you may be having, and read them. All the info you need is already out there, you just need to learn how to find it.

It'll go away once you flash a different rom.

Understood and much appreciated!
I suppose it's just me being over-over-over-careful and making absolutely sure I don't screw anything up (like last time). Though now I know this is the site to go to for any reference!
Thanks again!
Yup same problem i'm facing just tooooo carefull and i also read a lot of treaths but still i think sometimes That its not going to work sometimes the same thing would not work, deu to the fact that a Noob like me and u forgot a small step or someting
And then u had lucky u could take out the batterij.
I have 3 xperia's and all 3 can't take the batterij out so i don't had much time to fix it.
But as long as u try and say really good what u did and what u used.
Btw does everything work properly Again

[i9100g][jelly bean touch problem help]

Hi guys, i have this weird problem with touchscreen after i've had a faulty flash in Jelly Bean. My touches cannot hold and drag or drop items, for example i can't hold notification center halfway. Also, there is a problem with overall performance: Videos seem to skip 1-2 seconds every second, music plays the same way, and everything feels heavier, my battery also seems to drain very fast. The weird thing is that phone is perfect when i plug it in a power source, no problems at all. There are some other posts with this problem, but no one seemes to be able to solve this permanently. Some workarounds are flashing blazing v8 with any stock firmware, or flashing CM 10.1-20130121-EXPERIMENTAL-i9100g-M1 ROM, but both has SOD s and random reboots, and the vast battery drain still continues.
The milestone to solving this is this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147306, but it's still NOT solved for months... It seems like this is a problem that only a developer can solve, but i cannot post there, so if anyone finds another workaround/ have the same issue/ can-has solve this/ can post the problem on the developer page is welcome
EDIT: SOLVED!
"Thanks to hawkerpaul for making nuke script, and thanks to jimsilver for reminding me of it! If anyone has this problem, here are the steps i took:
1- Download GS2RomNuke (Read all instructions),
2- Download the rom you want and gapps ofc (Read all instructions),
3- Put them in your phone, i put in the sd card and it worked,
4- Flash GS2RomNuke, don't reboot or anything, flash your rom and gapps,
5- Reboot and done!"
So on that thread they say their phone works fine on stock GB/ICS;but not on JB.
You can either WAIT for a fix,code one yourself,use GB or ICS,or email the CEO of Samsung and complain to him.

Have you tried using @hawkerpauls GS2RomNuke followed by clean ROM?

The thing is, it works on JB stock firmware with blazing kernel v8, but not on the latest versions of this kernel, and this problem occurs to a minority of users so i don't think anyone is aware of this, which is why i started this thread, if the CEO of Samsung gave a hoot about our problems, this forum would not exist...

Can't really see how this problem would be related to battery though???

When i plug in the phone to a power source, it is working perfectly well, which is why i thought there was a problem with my battery, it made sense back then
Hmm, it says that this nuke script is for GT-I9100, will it work for the G variant?

I read something from @hawkerpaul saying he couldn't see why not, but as I own an i9100 I obviously can't vouch for that. Suggest you search @hawkerpauls thread and read for yourself.
Flash it (at your own risk) and if that doesn't work you always have odin to go back to :good:

glad to see you give it a go :good:
Seems like everything is working fine now! Im really surprised this being so easy after 2 months, because i've already made many wipes and flashed brand new stock from odin, but looks like it literally nukes the phone! :laugh: Thanks to hawkerpaul for making nuke script, and thanks to jimsilver for reminding me of it! If anyone has this problem, here are the steps i took:
1- Download GS2RomNuke (Read all instructions),
2- Download the rom you want and gapps ofc (Read all instructions),
3- Put them in your phone, i put in the sd card and it worked,
4- Flash GS2RomNuke, don't reboot or anything, flash your rom and gapps,
5- Reboot and done!
i will try
