Confusing post but a guess says you are looking for the extended power menu .
First question is have you actually read the instructions and whats in the rom post .
Guess not and that's why their is a minimum post in dev section .
So read them and download the mod as per instructions .
Extended Power Menu - available in Omega Files
If you have actually downloaded and installed and its not working do it again .

like i have understood he has problem with power button.
OT try to flash any firmware via odin and check if power button is working.
If you cant go to download mode maybe try with mobile odin or with usb jig
do what the developer says ::indie::
* Confusing post but a guess says you are looking for the extended power menu
- I Don't get a menu at all when pressing and holding power button..
* First question is have you actually read the instructions and whats in the rom post
- Of course i've read through the instructions, i read all uppdates and posts daily.
* Guess not and that's why their is a minimum post in dev section

Wiped cash + dalvik + flashed theme = no difference

Kinda strange, might try to replicate the problem later..

Judged by your initial lack of detail post the facts missing that you had downloaded xxx etc via Omega what other sort of reply do you really expect but the very basics .Plus that rom is more than any rom getting a vast number of users who fail to read the instructions .

Calm down your phone isnt bricked !!
I started this thread because many people have paniced that their phone is bricked after using siyah kernel v2.3.8 but actually it isnt...
I have a few steps which fixed mine:
1. Pull out the battery pop it back in.
2. Go into download mode(hold power + home + volume down) it should take sometime til it loads.
3. Flash a stock rom(I flashed XWLP7) and also siyah kernel v3.3.1.
IF U DONT NEED BACKUP SKIP TO STEP 5 :
4. Now boot and do a back up of your data using titanium backup.
5. Now boot into recovery and wipe user data(everything) your SD data wont be effected.
WARNING : this is a dangerous step but I feel its better to do it to make sure everything is fine.
7. Flash ICS bootloader from here.
6. Congrats your phone is fixed !!
If you need anymore help just post it here .

Do you mean 3.2.8? Because I've flashed that no less than twenty times and my phone hasn't bricked. Generally speaking if you can get into download mode (or recovery mode) then you aren't really bricked.
But thanks for posting anyway because I'm sure this will help someone.

You still have "2.3.8" written at the top though. You might want to change that so people don't get confused. I might upgrade to the latest Siyah as I seem to be having a lot of WEIRD problems that nobody should have...

Wipe data/factory reset is the correct next step. Select that line using the vol buttons, then press the power button. You will see text appear that confirms the wipe was completed. Then your phone should boot.
Next go to the second guide that BROKKANIC posted for you (first link in my signature) and follow the steps. Feel free to ask if there is something you don't understand.

I would personally suggest against that. Just use odin to flash a gb custom kernel. Then flash one of the better ICS firmwares we have available in the development forum.

That's your call, of course. I'd recommend against it. If you really want stock ICS I'd at least install stock plus root, and install a custom and known safe kernel. See this thread in development.
Or, install the custom firmware of your choice from the forums here. For a popular stock ICS rom, there is Semi by AJ Newkirk.

Hi everyone I need some help and I'll appreciate if you could spend some time and respond to my questions,I just bought a new i717 Noter from At&t and I followed to the ROOT instructions here and installed the custom ROM "Seraphim - Mesosphere - REMIX!" by Collective .
I am having following issues, I didn't have the GAPPS after I installed the ROM but I just installed the GAPPS and I downloaded some games and apps and I am getting a lot of crashes. For EX. the app Draw something was working fine when first installed but after few times using it now when I am touching to open it loads and says "Unfortunately, Draw some has stopped" , Gogle navigation crashes when I am touching "speak to destination" again app stops working. and more apps like viber...
Please give me your thoughts what I did wrong and what did I miss? can Anyone please recommend me a stable ROM to install on my i717 Note?
Thank you
Just do a factory reset and start fresh. Install gapps, then test them out. Then install your most favorite game, and test it out, etc.
To effectively troubleshoot, you have to start from a known good state, and work until you get the error.
Thank you for your reply rangercaptain.

Ranger got it ..
You have the classic signs of data corruption , from items being restored to the device from a previous rom.
As ranger said ....a fresh start should correct the issues.
And one additional item you should try...
When you get done flashing the new build and the gapps....do a "wipe data, factory reset" from within your recovery prior too your first boot cycle.
This will ensure that no old data is present upon first boot, and no older data will be written to the system or dalvik cache on boot.
Additionally , do "NOT" restore any previous apps that contain data...just download the apps fresh from the play store.....IMHO .g
Edit : we are here if you need further help, and again, welcome to XDA ....g
Thank you Greg! thanks a lot for your help guys!
Just want to make sure before doing anything , Greg you said I should do "wipe data, factory rest" , just have a question do I do that booting to recovery?. I have done something stupid I did not back up my original ROM before I installed this custom ROM, Please recommend me a good stable ROM to install .
Thanks

Factory reset is done from recovery. It wipes all installed apps and any data you accumulated. When that's completed, flash your rom.
Let it boot and settle in for several minutes, then sign into your google account.
Then go back and install gapps, then your apps from the market, and test each one.
Thanks a lot Ranger ! I will do as you said and post the results. Just a question before I do anything , you said "Let it boot and settle in for several minutes, then sign into your google account. " How do I sign in to my google account before installing GAPPS?
Thanks

I decided to create this forum because I saw a lot of people posting complaints regarding Status 7 error in the CM10 development forum. I don't know whether making a thread here is even the right thing to do but I am doing it all the same just because I want to help. I would have personally posted this on the thread but since I am a new member,I am not allowed access to post on the development thread.
So, getting down to business,even I had the same problem. And this is the simple fix that I did .Dunno whether it's the right thing to do but it worked for me and again,I am just trying to help -
1) Shut down your phone by pressing the power + Vol Up button together
2) Boot into fastboot mode and flashboot the .img file put up as attachment along with this post
3) Fastboot reboot
4) Go into recovery as usual and flash CM10+Gapps from SD as mentioned in the original post.
Hope this helps.This is my first thread btw,so please excuse any mistakes that I might have made. :silly:
..or use the Advanced Stock Kernel 16 by Arkamar!you can flash it via CWM or Fastboot.It will always work.it did for me!

Hello.
I have a samsung galaxy s2 and its been working fine for more than a year. Few days ago, i did a factory reset and now when I power on my phone it stays on the Samsung logo. If i go in recovery, it says CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2-Siyah. and i have a lot of options. I did wipe data/factory reset and after that completes it powers on and goes in safe mode, i can do stuff for around 30 seconds and then it restarts and stuck on samsung logo again.
I tried flashing stock firmware but Odin does not detect my phone. i have tried on two different computers, they both have the drivers everything, tried on different ports, tried with different cables.
Please Help.
what rom you're on?

1) 'Please use a descriptive thread title'
2) Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General, find it, try as many of the things in that thread as many times as you need to in order to get a successful flash. If you try the stuff in the thread two or three times then come back to this thread & say 'I tried blah blah a few times & still the same', guess what ? Your phone will stay busted. Why ? Because perseverance always fixes these issues unless the phone isn't recoverable. You need to try everything in that thread over and over and over if necessary. There's nothing that isn't in that thread which can be suggested in these situations. Why ? That thread is the 'Bible'.
So...Go...You now have the tools to fix your phone.
i have already seen that thread and tried what it advised but to no avail.

Tried but did not work.
Same thing happens, goes into the system, and then restarts after 20-30 seconds and then stuck on samsung logo.
Well,if you can boot,quickly go to phone's settings,scroll down and tap "about phone".Write down android,firmware and kernel versions and post here.
That stuff is irrelevant. OP, you're clearly not doing some things here or not telling us exactly what you did to get the phone in that state (like most people who get into this situation). Service centre.
i said in my FIRST post that after i did a factory reset, when i restarted it got stuck on the samsung logo.
Anyone ?
Please.
Well,if your current rom is messed up and can't use ODIN,you may try flashing a stock based jb rom through recovery.Choose the one you like,follow the instructions and that's it.
Just a suggestion:angel:
Could you please link me to which one i should download. i do not want to mess my phone up even more.
im from uk.

Well,I cannot say which rom you SHOULD try as it's against the rules and is purely your choice.Although I used this one some time ago and really liked it

Just follow the instructions and you're done.
Right...So on one hand you say

What's the point in telling people what the rules are when you go and break them in the next sentence ? Why not just tell people to go read some rom threads & try some roms ? Do you realise how much more likely it is that a n00b will break their phone at some point in the fairly near future when you spoonfeed them everything, which is exactly what you've been doing for the past few weeks, as opposed to pointing them in the right direction & telling them to learn for themselves ?

I don't get you mate.The man asked me to suggest a rom so I did.Honestly,it was the only stock jb based rom I ever tried as AOSP is my home.As much as I hate stock,I know that rom has little to no problems,so that OP won't come back here anytime soon.Which is good.Never wanted to break any rules,but because his phone was in unusable state,I pointed him to (IMHO) the right direction.Is this a bad HELP?
I know I did some things here and there that made some noobs lifes easier.So this means I should always reply by saying:
Hey,there's search button for that!DIY!Troubleshooting thread is not for these kind of questions.Get outta here!!
That's not how I understand HELP.
Anyway,thanks for your opinion,really respect that.
