What's did you mean by you can't lock the phone?
Were you trying to say that "your lockscreen is missing even after flashing so many ROMs"?

what I meant is that the phone is not locked to squeeze the lock button to turn off the screen and turn it back precionar but does not leave the lock screen, I have tried placing it in pattern but still the same .. and if I let down the lock button turns off quickly without leaving the box if you want to restart etc

I think he's saying that when pressing the power button to lock, then unlock, the lockscreen doesn't come up, but just unlocks the phone, and when he long presses power, it just shuts off the phone instead of presenting the power button menu.
OP, am I right?
If so, then you need to root your phone, create a file in /efs/imei called keystr, that contains the word ON, and set its permissions to rw-r--r--. There are a few different ways to do this.

Hi, that's exactly my problem after I used Odin to update my SS2 I9100G from Gingerbread to ICS 4.0.4. Can you please give me more details as to how to do this exactly? I have never rooted my phone so I don't know much.
Thanks a lot!!

If you are using a custom rom like cm I got rid of that problem when I flashed gapps.zip.
Edit : You haven't rooted huh? It's easy just like flashing a stock rom, just search, there are several guides regarding this matter.
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.

You're talking about the screen lock pattern / PIN / Password / whatever?
Have a look here.
No. I mean is SIM LOCK. When remove my sim and insert to another device. It will need password to unlock. If no. Can not call or sms

Hey,
I'm actually having both the problems described in this thread, and the one that was linked above. When I updated to ICS (official upgrade), my phone became slow, and jerky. On top of that the lock screen is no where to be seen, the phone shuts down without question if I press the power button, and the PIN code wasn't asked ever. I didn't even get calls going out before I figured out that it was possible to permanently unlock the SIM, but I really don't like the idea of that.
Being the fiddler that I am, I of course had to start flashing XDA created ROMs instead, but nothing has helped so far. I haven't tried to modify the /efs/imei/keystr file yet as I don't have my phone here at the moment... but does anyone know what that is supposed to do?
What I've done that doesn't help the situation:
* Flashed the whole phone again with heimdall and the LPQ firmware.
* Installed Darky's LPQ based ROM
* Formatted everything I could see in CWM
* Factory reset and factory format (seems to do the same thing actually)
* probably more.
As a side note, if I downgrade to gingerbread, the lockscreen, SIM unlock and power button menu return but if I then upgrade again, I have the same situation. I'm baffled.

The keystr file maps the power and home buttons, I believe. Give it a shot, should solve your problem.

Thus, "whatever". Try what is contained within my link, if you're rooted. Should solve your problem. Or just ignore my suggestion again. Makes no difference to me.
See here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23636941#post23636941) for someone who was reporting the exact same problem as you, and that fixed their problem.
EDIT: oh look, the guy above had the same problem too, and this helped him.
Thanks everybody. I will try some solution. Or waitting for newer ROM.

So what settings do you have when you go into Settings-Security? Screen lock is the first option on my phone.
Can you see screen lock but not set it to anything?

Check for a /efs/imei/keystr file. You'll need root. If it doesn't exist, you'll need to create it, containing the word "ON".

Hello,
First, I wanna say thank you for the work you out on your BluRom V6.
I was surprised how great it looks. Congratz....
Anyway, I am having a little problem because the screen lock does not work.
I go to settings>security>screen lock>pattern. I draw my pattern and confirm it then it ask for a password I do it twice . After the screen turns off i wait and when i go use the phone the screen is not locked. Noone of the locks work.
Please help.
My Galaxy S2 I9100 is rooted
Thanks

I'm not Blur75, but this is usually due to a missing /efs/imei/keystr file. I'm guessing that BluRom is a pre-rooted ROM? If so, then you can fix this.
Check to see if you have that file. (/efs/imei/keystr) If not, create it, and have it contain the word ON. There are several different methods of doing this.
The phone shuts down whenever I hold Power button
This started right after I flashed KPH stock GB?? And continued even when I flashed JB
What's wrong?

Maybe I don't understand? If you hold the power button yes your phone will turn off, if you just press it briefly and it turns off then yes that's an issue.

No, if you hold the power button your phone will ask you if you want to Reboot, Turn off, Silent mode, Airplane mode.. etc
mine just turn off immediately.

I installed the black update for my 920 & afterwards it completely froze up at the lock screen. So I rebooted it using the held down power button & down volume key method & the same thing happened & kept happening no matter how many times I tried this. So I tried powering it off in small moment it was active & the same thing happened it froze on shutdown with the goodbye message now permanently stuck on the screen.
Anyone know how I can recover my 920 in these circumstances?

I wondered why it happened is the install corrupted?
maybe some error on memory or maybe battery is low and during flashing shut down phone... this happened to some people...

if you did the OTA update, after the first reboot, it then loads the initial lock screen, you should have been able to unlock it. At this point you'll get a screen that says "migrating data" This usually takes about 5-10 minutes depending on how much storage you have in use. Then it reboots again and you're up an running.
May have just been a bad / corrupt file, but the manual flash should fix everything.
I wonder if it was because I got a service message from my network at the same time as it saw it as a new handset.
Sorry for the double post but just to say NSU did the trick oddly it didn't install the latest software as afterwards it was still saying there was an update to install on the phone update on the phone itself. Would think this update would come from the same servers.
Guys can yo tell me what are the differences between plain custom ROM and Roger's ROM..
Well I tried to do the update twice more with the same result each time.
Anyone any ideas on this?

No. Unless you count any slow trickle charge from the PC whilst flashing. TBH because of all the reboots I had lost track of the battery charge on the last flashing attempt.
Latest is on the latest flashing attempt it updated it to Black over NSU. Some of the apps seem OK, some open but freeze & others such as the camera & messaging seem to be missing. Also every time I turn it off it freezes up & has to be rebooted.
Just what is going on with it?
Is there anyway of getting the NSU to re-install the Amber software rather than keep trying to upgrade to the Black version?

Yes it may be that you were no outdated. NSU re-install the latest version available of your Hard Product Code of your device, since/from the Nokia Server. But that does not mean that you have the latest update as Lumia Black, for example.

Roger's is the official rom for devices sold by Roger's, custom is the rom developed by people unofficially authorized by Micro$soft or Nokia.
