Hey guys, posted a thread the other day. But didn't get much of an answer. But now am back with a different question. Anyway, long story short. My girlfriend is a goose and swapped a perfectly good iPhone (wait what, how can an iphone be good - i know, i know) for a samsung galaxy s2. It kept turning off and wifi doesnt work.
I done an update to 4.0.3 using odin and that stopped the constant turning off, but wifi is still not working.
Now what I would like to know it, if i change the modem firmware in it, will it fix it ? Could I just try different firmwares until I works ? Would downgrading to say 2.2 possibly fix the issue ? (It was originally 2.3.5)
Please help, if you need information, just post and ill reply )

the modem or baseband is nowhere related to ur wifi issue ma8 for that u have 2 change the kernel and see u can try SIYAH, Thoravukk or Fluxi kernel and see it might resolve ur wifi issue

Im assuming you've tested the router with other devices to eliminate that? It sounds as though the warranty is already void so it could be a good excuse to root & install cwm5 if you haven't already. Like was already mentioned wifi is kernel related so i would recommend installing a recently released aokp (preferred) based rom with whatever kernel is provided. If you're still having the problem try installing different kernels from there on in. Remember to flash a kernel cleaning script before flashing the new kernel. If the problem persists it could be hardware related. Good luck bud !

Yep, the wifi just doesnt turn on at all. switch to on, and it switches off straight away. Is CWM5 (clock work mode ) If so I have that. Could you please link me to a aokp based rom. I'm sorry for being a hassel, just very new and hoping to get this issue cleared up asap, because it is a great phone. Also confused as to flashing a kernal cleaning script ??

No hassle m8 only problem is im on my touchpad so can't send you links. From xda enter i9100 (device) go android development then look for resurrection remix 2.2 Download file place it in downloads "internal" (easy to find) then boot into clockwork recovery. Firstly make sure you backup current rom! After that's done follow these instructions carefully.
Wipe data/Factory reset
Wipe cache
(from advanced) Wipe dalvik cache/battery stats
(from mounts/storage) format cache/data/system
Go to 'install zip from sd card'
Go to 'choose zip from internal'
Install 'resurrection remix'
Reboot then setup Google accounts etc.... Then reboot again & wait 5 mins.
As for kernel cleaning script try this 1st then see how you go.. I'm off to bed m8 good luck with everything!
Hello SGS2 users! Has anyone experienced this problem before?
I was originally running VK 5.1.2 without a problem then I flashed RR 2.5.3; didn't really like the theme then I came across PFittech ROM GTX which I thought "Wow!".
After flashing, I noticed that when the screen went off and locked, it won't wake and I need to pull battery and reboot.
As you may know that is extremely inconvenient so I flashed stock rom and went back to VK 5.1.2 but this hasn't stopped the problem
I have done all the wipes (cache, dalvik, factory/data and format system!

Ur having SOD, sleep of death... when ur phone enters deepsleep it wont get up.
this is frequently related with UV, or poor bus freq.
u should flash a kernel cleaner like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363738
or any other. then u have to flash a new kernal.
Thanks mate! Will try this now
Still there
Firstly, I flashed stock firmware, then I flashed cf-root. Went into recovery and done a full wipe and flashed the script.
I done another wipe then installed VK Rom (I have never had a problem with this) and left the phone for 30 secs on screen off and it came back.
What should I do next?
Should I check all settings for CPU and GPU? Revert them to standard? I don't touch those settings as I don't have a great knowledge of changing volts and clock speeds.
Maybe you could let it on stock (unrooted) and see if it happens again...

You can just wipe data, dalvic and cache and try salmanrom its the best I promise, you will never go back to another aokp rom!

I flashed the stock LPB firmware and used it for a full day and I never experience any SoD. Tried a few custom roms and still having the error.
Although there may seem there is nothing wrong with the phone, I have never had a problem with any roms I use. All the roms I am trying are previous downloads that have worked successfully so I doubt there is any corruption.
I won't be giving up and I will be trying everything and anything... the now I am going to try Gingerbread based roms and see if I still get the error. If anyone else has any more ideas please tell me.

Can i suggest u to use rootbox ics?? Is almost flawless and i thinkbu wont have any problem
If u still getting sod u could try giving a little more voltage to ur cpu or bus...if u use fluxi with this rom is very easy to do that

Im a first time root user i flashed RR 2.5.3 with fluxi kernel over my stock ics its running very smoth and had no problem so far
You might need to check your cpu frequency i read her that if it was set to less than 200Mhz you might have the sleep of death issue

I have tried RR 2.5.3 and had no problems in the past but now it is also giving me the SoD. Only on stock firmware I don't get it and I don't touch the cpu freq but I will take a look on the clock freqs.

Thats is pretty wierd...had u made a full wipe installation??? No one had any issue like that
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I always do a full wipe but today I've seen something unusual.
Kernel Panic Upload Mode came up when the phone was off?
I am flashing back to GB and see if any SoD appear.
Mate, there is something wierd with ur phone...
There sure is.. I am running KI3 GB with CF Root and not received any SoD. Seems to be only on custom roms?
Good news! I fixed it!
What I did:
First of all, I had an extended battery and I swapped it for the old battery (Because of case with stand it won't fit)
Flashed stock GB (XXKI3)
Flashed CF-Root KI3
Full Wipe (Cache, Factory/Data, Dalvik, Battery stats)
Format System
Flashed Kernel Cleaner
Flashed VK 5.1.2
Flashed Siyah 3.3.2
So after doing all this, the SoD has gone. So it must be a problem with Fluxi on my device.
I may be wrong but after doing this the problem stopped and I am happy again
So thank you to you all who tried to help!
I have the same problem, except my SOD also has high battery drain even though the phone is pretty much useless. Very annoying when you are relying on the alarm clock. Did you also notice high battery drain?
I found it happened on Thebyani 4.3, not on 4.4, and now it happened on 4.5. Im hoping the kernel cleaner and the latest Siyah kernel will fix it. Any kernels you guys recommend if it still happens?

well gr8 then mate!
Q: could u ever tryed giving some more voltage to cpu in fluxi?
I had a high battery drain already abd i bought a new extended battery. I am charging the device the now and it has heated but i took it off and turn it off to cool. I am going to recalibrate the battey
Try doing what I did to see if it helps.
Flash a stock unrooted firmare and see if you still get SoD
Ive been using my phone since i posted and not had one SoD.
Do you mess with your freqs? Try keeping them to basic

Hi
Im currently running on CM9 Nightlies on Samsung Galaxy S II I9100. I have seen people saying the Siyah Kernel is one of the best out there and many people across forums like it.
My question is if I flash this KERNEL what happens when I flash the next nightlies ?? would the Siyah kernel be over written with the nightly default kernel or would remain as is ?

It will be overwritten. You could try deleting boot.img from the Nightly before flashing (open the .zip and delete, don't extract it), although it might not work - I haven't looked at the script.
no it's fine to flash siyah kernel and if you flash any new room you have to format system and clean delvic cache so it's no problem
Just flash CM9 and then kernel again.
But if CM9 is secondary ROM, then the kernel will remain without changes.

Not true. You do NOT need to format system or clean DALVIK cache before flashing a nightly over a nightly. Get your facts straight.
What's a room?
Thanx for shedding the light...!! I gues will just stick with Nightlies i find they are more matured these days and im better off with them in the long run..!!

Hi there,
Can you please help me, I am a NOOB and I been looking and trying to fix my phone for a week and I cant work it out, therefore I come here seeking your help, I would very much value ideas or solutions you could provide.
I will be as brief as possible.
When I try to flash a new Rom, my phone gets stuck on the boot screen, there are only two roms that load, one freezes, the others roms wont boot.
All started like this:
I originally had RR JB V3.1.3 AOKP 4.2.1 I9100
Then changed to
AllianceROM_I9100_XWLSS_V8, look good but thought of trying the aokp i9100 jb-mr1 milestone-1, when trying to swap I made the mistake of doing a factory reset to find out that I could not access the roms on my sdcard.
so I then installed (I9100_CODE_I9100XXLP2_CL57619_REV02_user_low_ship.tar) it all worked as it went to stock. I rooted the phone again, tried installing the AllianceRom, but it didnt want to load, tried the Aokp again it did work, but then once the screen turns off it wont respond...
tried super nexus, did not want to work. tried updating CMW, it doesnt want to... Tried Jellybam, did not load...
So I tried and reloaded RR JB V 3.1.3 as I already have and it works, it is the only rom that works successfully, But if I try to go on to CMW, it doesnt work anymore, and it seems that once I try to use CMW it makes the rom unstable... So it seems that I can only use one Rom at the moment. Clearly I must of done something wrong at some point but I dont know what. I dont even know what to search for to fix it.
I tried different tools to see if they would help and no luck, such as, GS2ROMNuke, Romreset and Romwipe, Darkside cache and superwipe.
I hope someone can help me out in working out what I did wrong or what is happening.
Thank you so much for your time and help.
Bump, Any help would be very much appreciated.

Try kernel nuke then flash another kernel say siyah as its got cwm. Should be good then mate. Then install alliance rom. Also when you installed and booted for first time on these roms did you try wipe cache and dalv cache fix Permission ??

Thanks for the tip... I did try however I dont have access to cwm anymore once I install RR.
The only way I can get CWM to work again, is installing speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-21- through Odin but then the rom doesnt work anymore.
I tried the kernel nuke, I have tried installing siyah kernel with RR, but no luck it doesnt go into cmw. keep getting a message Kernel Panic...
anymore suggestions?
Could I have done something on the mounts? I dont know, but I cant think of what is going on.
Could it be that my phone has emmc brick?
I came across two apps
Got Brickbug?
Verdict
Danger! This eMMC chip is known to have the brick bug!
and
eMMC check
Brick Bug?
Yes. Insane chip....
Could someone please give me an indication what this means for me? Thanks

Ok so I really hope I am posting logically here.....
I have searched Hi and low for a solution to for sure working way to do this....
I am currently using the Avatar Rom Nightly Build 3.1 for I9100.
Other Specs:
Android Version 4.2.2
Baseband Version I9100MUGLD3
Kernel Version 3.0.64-CM-gac24beb
[email protected] # 2
CPU ARMv7 Processor Rev 1 (V71)
Build Number cm-i9100-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39E 502 dev-keys
I want to change my boot-logo... (NOT my boot animation) I want to do so in a way that I will not brick my phone (obvs) Everything I have seen was saying not to do unless you do not care about your phone, or it was very unclear if it would work for my version....
I did look in to the boot logo changer app in play store but it said i did not have the correct Kernel..... Can I change the kernel without messing up my avatar rom? (I don't Think So)
Any information regarding how i can change my boot logo would be awesome... I want to change the one that says samsung galaxy SII gt-i9100 right before the boot animation (in my case avatar rom animation)
Change to dorimanx 9.xx kernel and try. Changing kernel wont mess up your rom unless you flash the wrong type of kernel.

Do you know where I can find this? Also is flashing a kernel same procedure as flashing a ROM? PDA through Odin then cwm install from zip?
Google dorimanx its so easy mate. And yes flash zip through cwm or tar through odin. Dont bother using odin unless you have to.
And if I flash the kernel it won't mess with my aviator ROM functions at all. I've read up that kernels basically distribute resources so my fear is that if I change it, that it will change resource paths making things like the theme packages, boot animation etc stop working...
No it wont stop them working. Wouldn't say try it if its going to mess things up. Just look out for sods with dorimanx. "Sleep of death" if you dont like it reflash rom with no wipe and stock kernel will be restored :thumbup: if it dont boot after flash wipe cache and dalvki cache then reboot. If it still dont boot then factory reset. Shouldn't come to having to do a factory reset though. :thumbup:
Ok thank you, Just worked a 13 hour night shift. Will be home to give this a shot in a couple minutes though.... Will post results shortly
Ok so the app I wanted to use is SGS2 BootScreen Changer By Hellcat.
I downloaded the dorimanx Kernel.. It installed no problems yet (Knocking on wood... I dont like the sound of SOD) So far it did not alter the phone much... Phone seems to run A LOT Slower now....
Also the SGS2 BootScreen Changer app is still saying....
"The kernel you are currently running is missing the filesystem driver required to access the flash partition containing the bootscreen image(s)!
Due to this, this app can not work while running on this kernel.
Possible solutions to this situation are being worked on."
Whats the app called? Slower? Let it settle down. Phone and kernel will be talking to each other so give it some time to make a judgment on that. Shame the app still dont work:thumbdown: il have a look and see what I can find out and report bk to you mate. :thumbup:

Ok. I have only used avatar rom.... I am fresh blood to this world lol. So I am still quite unfamiliar with everything...
The app is called SGS2 BootScreen Change By Hellcat.
I am more than open to other suggestions as well.. This was just the only app i could find that does this....
Have just tested on rom my atm which is biftor v11 with apollo kernel and works ok. Boot screen is my profile pic am thinking it may be to do with 4.2.2 custom rom mate. Il still have a look and see whats up. Have you emailed hellcat? He will be the best and quickest way to find out whats up.
Thank you again for all your help, I am gonna have to get some sleep now though as I must return to work tonight (early at that for a regional communications meeting that makes my night a 14 hour shift) Anyways I will check back as soon as I awake from deep hibernation lol.
Id love to see some type of desktop program for doing this or an all in 1 boot manager that will allow me to manage the boot logo, animation, and shutdown. This would be awesome and if it transferred everything through ADB Automatically thatd be 100X better, too bad i am illiterate in making this myself
I found a kernel made by hellcat that allows you to change boot logo, but i do not know which one i would need.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182922
Dont even try to use them. Forget that thread.
Ya there's no kernels there for me was just wondering why for old but not for new.... Might just have to give up on this
alright so i just tried using root tool box pro to back up bootlogo as well as boot animation and it fails to do so... So im assuming my Avatar rom has changed where they are located...
I was able to use the root toolbox to disable the animation though... weird.
Post to dev on avatar rom and ask were it is
Anyone else have any input to this problem? ?

I may consider changing roms if i can find something as editable.....
How familiar are you with Avatarrom to know the features list?
Is it this rom?? Ask there if it is mate
That's it. Do you have a link?
