Problems after rooting and flashing new ICS installation - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I rooted my Galaxy S II recently and flashed the ROM with ICS - Resurrection_Remix_ics_V2.6.1_AOKP-M6_GT-9100 . After that I am facing problems in Wi-fi . It doesn't turn on and shows me a continuous message that "Turning Wi-fi On" ... nothing happens afterwards.
Apart of that I can't see full internal memory which i used to see as 16 GB when i had Gingerbread . It shows me 2 GB now. I also tried "wipe dalvik cache" but nothing happened . and third thing which I noticed that when I switch on my Camera it asks me for SD card . it doesn’t work for internal memory as it used to work previously.
Please help or suggest if I can overcome these problems.
thnx

Did you use re-partition option?
Wi-Fi... change kernel and maybe it helps.
For camera I have no idea.

You can maybe find some info on this page : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592104

Yes, you can. But you need to find proper .pit (16 GB). It is somewhere on xda.

[Q] Baseband unknown

Hi yall...
Im sitting here with a good mates i9100... He has flashed it, and now it does not have any signal...
IMEI is just blank, and I think this is because of the baseband radio mismatch as it is showing baseband unknown...
I have tried:
Flashing I9100XXKG2
And in odin I have ticked:
Re-partition
Auto reboot
F. Reset Time
Phone Bootloader Update... (This should update the bootloader, shouldent it??)
Any great ideas??

From what i have seen for flashing through ODIN, they always mention that re-partition should not be checked. Dont' know why but i guess probably that may have messed up something on the phone. Please google to find out what re-partition does.

Not looking good...
Do you have backuped your /EFS folder or not?
We recived it in this condetion... It was already f***** when we started playing arround with it
well considering my un-flashed (freshly unboxed untouched after 2 day usage) S2 managed to lose its IMEI all by itself (showing exactly what you're being shown now), this is entirely a Samsung fault.
I gave it at a local service center and it took them a few days to repair it. They said they had to replace the motherboard and re-flash it (the original mobo wasnt taking flashes apparently).
Dont know if this helps ya.
First off: Stay faaar away from the "Repartition" tickbox.
Sounds like the EFS partition is messed up, without a (working) backup of it, there isn't much that can be done, I think.
Try flashing one of the _user_low stock ROMs (without repartition!) those contain pretty much every part that can/should be flashed.
Maybe this helps.
If not, send it in for repair.
Could you please give me a link to such a ROM ?

There are some in Intratech's ROM download thread in the dev section.
One comming directely into mind (because I just flashed it recently) is this one:

Thank you, I will try this tomorrow, see if I've got any luck with me So far, thanks!
Now I have tried the ROM you have prefered, but it didn't help. I'm not able to root the phone by SupoerOneClick. Any other great ideas ?
Best regards
Hajric
No, SuperOneClick doesn't work on a stock ROM, that's right.
Download Chainfire's CF-Root kernel for XXKG2 and flash it too.
You'll have insta-root right after flashing CF-Root

Is there any mirror link of this firmware (http://www.multiupload.com/G1GBNSDYJA)
since multiupload is no longer available any more?
I have tried many firmwares, but it still not working.
Should I try a ROM that require re-partition? Maybe it works???
Try searching Sammobile.com

Thanks man, I've found some of useful firmwares.
But if it would be great if anyone knows which firmwares have pit file. Maybe I have made a mistake while re-partition my i9100 and now I want to re-partition it again by stock firmware, hopefully could file my imei back.

[Q] Galaxy s2 Bircked

Use the search function
First things first.
1) Check the sticker on the phone chassis under the battery. What does it say ?
2) What exactly did you flash ? If you want help, you're going to have to be a little bit (a lot actually) less vague.

You have an i9100G. Did you download an I9100G firmware? What did you download? I'm betting you downloaded an I9100 firmware instead of an i9100G one.
If you download an i9100G firmware and try again, it should work.
Try this.
Then if you decide to try installing ICS again, make sure you download one for the i9100G, and not the i9100.

Yup, that is a firmware for the i9100P that is O2 branded. See my post above.
By the way, FYI: i9100G is NOT compatible with other i9100 models in respect to firmwares and kernels

Sorry man, but you should have made some reading before you do this as there are many files with XX_I9100_XX and each belongs to baseband version which is included in the file name which should match your baseband version in settings> about phone.

Baseband doesn't have anything to do with his situation. He attempted to flash a firmware for the wrong version phone.

Rom recommendations are forbidden here (and anyone who makes one in this thread is getting slapped). Go to the development sections, read some threads (first page/last 10 pages will give you the info you need), flash & try some roms out like everyone else here.
