Hello friends,
I bought one Samsung galaxy S2 from south Korea. having model number SWH M250S.
I live in India, So I wanted to converted it into GT-I9100, SO flashed with Indian firmware which i downloaded from samfirmware.com.
Now actually I have one major problem and two minor problem.
Major Problem.
===============
I have no mobile signal or you can say very less signal on my phone. On average, In 24 hour it I can say it is available on phone for just two hour.This problem persist with both the firmware. ( Korean and Indian).
Also I am little bit confuse on Antenna side of Korean Galaxy S2.
In International or Indian galaxy S2 I am not seeing any antenna wire or cable which you can pull out. The antenna is internal a log wire type which is connecting from top to bottom,( I saw in youtube video) But In Korean galaxy S2 I can see one cable on the right top corner of the phone. Is this is the antenna used for network signal catching or it is used for TV antenna.
I am totally confused that it is a hardware problem or software problem.
Minor Problem
===============
1. Messaging is restricted to 80 character only in Korean firm, but this is getting over when I am flashing a Indian firmware.
2. The screen lock option is not coming after enabling the option in setting , and power key is not displaying its usual options like restart, shutdown, flight mode. For this I read in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1899309 , that i have to be root to get this option. But i tried it and it was not displaying those options ( May be I am doing something wrong.)
The Minor issue is ok.. I am not bothering too much On these, but please friends help me on solving the major one.
It looks like I am carrying a PDA instead of a phone.
Thank you
Please help
Hello friends,
Please help me on this issue..
The network problem got solved somehow, but still I am not able to lock my mobile.
Screen lock is not working.
and even power button is not giving other options like restart, flight mode etc..
If you guys need other information please ask..
1st, please change your thread title.. it is a question, so instead of [Guide], it should be [Q]
But anyway, your model is SHW-M250S and it is different with the model GT-I9100. You should not flash any GT-I9100 firmwares, only SHW-M250S..
There is no way to convert your model to GT-I9100, only mod it.. i believe there is a thread somewhere in the General section with the same model as yours. Perhaps checking it there would be your best bet

i installed the firmware XXLQ5 and rooted it then i went to store downloaded unlock sim app i done it got unlocked but now what happened is my bro done somthing and got locked back to normal , i tried the same process its not working no more even with the unlock apps i downloaded from store.
also when ever now i try and go to unlock sim apps a quick message comes up it says somthing like , shell has been granted superuser permissions my god help plz
black hat seo forum
from uk
locked in network 3
The message you get is from superuser which is giving superuser access to a rooted app. Maybe from the app you tried to unlock your phone with. Have you tried flashing it again, root it and try to unlock it? I'm sorry I have no experience with unlocking apps but it's worth a shot.
Ps. You should've posted this on the Q and A section

Can you look at /efs folder using a file manager like root explorer. If it is empty then you are in trouble. If so, send it to the service center and don't mention rooting etc or else your warranty will be voided. Just say your signal just dropped suddenly while you were watching YouTube etc. I experienced having an unknown imei (with an intact efs folder) but a reboot fixed it.

Hello there.
So, I flashed the I9100XWLQ2 ICS rom to my gf´s phone. The installation was successful, the problem is that now the phone can not recieve or make any phone calls.
Do I need to change the CSC thing as the original thread says, with the app (have not done it yet because I don`t know which is the CSC code from Perú)?
There is an image with information in front of my wallpaper that can not be removed:

I rebooted the phone and the image sticked in the wallpaper changed:

Thanks for your answer.
I don't know how but after 2 or 3 reboots and a couple of hours I can now make and receive phone calls, but the thing in the display is still there.
The IMEI seems to be fine, not really sure if it matches the one on the back of the battery because it was erased by the previous owner of the phone I guess.
Oh, the link seems to be very useful, there is no lockscreen and power button menu as well, I'll try it out.
Is this the safest way to root the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 ?

I followed the steps to root the phone, the CWM showed up, I was able to scroll up and down, but when I tried to select the " install zip from sdcard" option nothing happened, then I tried a few times the "Reboot now" option and an error appeared. I pressed the Power button for a second and the phone rebooted.
Should I try to flash a rooted kernel or try a different ICS rom? Which one are you using?
Hi all,
Just flashed the jellyblast rom onto my s5830i, it's all working except I've got no signal/service.
I've been reading around and found that I might have to install a radio? If so, does anyone have any help as to which one?
Any help much appreciated, or if you need more info please ask.
Cheers,
Jack.

Well I'm using jelly blast no problem... I'm guessing you're using 3.0.5 (latest) did you first flash 3.0.4? If not i suggest going back to stock then 3.0.4 then .5
You might of had some random conflict if you flashed from another custom ROM to Jelly Blast
Also what do you mean radio?
The app? That's included in Jelly Blast, well it is in 3.0.4 (that's what I'm using)
Oh and apparently I'm now meant to tell people to ask questions and stuff in the sticky thread (The one by "iamareebjamal"), or post this in the jelly blast thread to help keep the general section free from spam
The usual Xx James xX only on mobile (XDA Premium)
I think you've lost your IMEI (don't worry it's not lost, this rom somehow can't read your IMEI number). Please check your IMEI number by using *#06# on call screen.
If you can't see your IMEI number, install GalaxyToolbox and check the IMEI from there. If you can see the IMEI from GalaxyToolbox, it means IMEI is still there but rom can't read it.
Please install any other rom. (you can/should backup your IMEI by using GalaxyToolbox before doing anyting on your system)
jelly blast no service fix

Thanks for bricking my phone.....
it doesn't work my phone can't go into CMW or boot now i would be extremely grateful for some help please.
@jrtbing, lets dig some graveyard mate, shall we First of all jellyBlast was band from XDA ages ago ( not to be mention there are far more sophisticated stable Rom @ Dev sub forum)
As for your problem goes, please remove your battery for ~1 Minute ( don't make any difference though, just for discharging purposes ).
put it back and try press and hold the Volume Up + Home keys and then long press the Power key till the start up screen with “Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i″ logo blinks for two times and you see your desired recovery screen.
If the combo keys provided don't be effective ( due to possible boot loop, corruption of your partitions; kernel ,,etc,,etc,,) we need to check your download mode by pushing (Volume(+) + Volume(-) + Power) simultaneously ,, still no use,, You probably hard-bricked your device mate. USB jig might be your last solution to force your device get into Download mode, nothing will be guaranteed though.
I don't get the menu where it asks you to disable data, airplane mode or reboot. When I hold the power button for 2 seconds my GSII just shuts off. Any reason why this happens? My Note doesn't behave like neither does my original galaxy s. Thanks
Could you please tell some more details,
is it a stock rom? which rom version? (you can find it in about phone in settings)
are you rooted?
when did it happen?
what did you do before it happened?
what did you have for breakfast?
never heard of anything like this before though,
the easiest thing is probably to make an backup of everything and reflash the rom,
or you could try to wipe/factory reset or fix permissions from recovery to see if it helps.
Phone is unlocked international model
I've flashed stock roms 3 times. Gb ics and jb
Here is where I'm at currently
Baseband XXLS8
BUILD XWLSE
I never rooted
The power button issue has been present on all 3 stock roms.
If I hold power button for 2 seconds it shuts phone off.
Do you think its hardware related?

My imei is that generic samsung one 00649... and yes my lock screen does not work. I didn't know why this was happening. Thanks for your help!
I also lost my IMEI no after a flashing a rom, as far as I was aware I had never made a backup of my efs folder, I attempted many different methods to resolve this, then I checked my external SD storage and saw an EFS_BACKUP folder with numerous compressed EFS files, I simply selected one of the early ones copied to my desktop and extracted contents and used them to replace my current efs folder on root of the phone, then reboot and you should have your original IMEI and phone working again, hope this helps goodluck
Hello, ive got some Problems with my ne Xcover3
Because the builtin SAP Profile is not working with my cars telephone unit (Premium Volkswagen)
i want to use the app "android-rsap" but there is root needed.
No idea how to get it without bricking the phone.
So it would be very nice to get help by experienced peolpe like you
Thanks ahead
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I can't find anything on XDA on how to root that specific device. but it looks like you can copy the latest SuperSU.zip to your phone and then flash it in recovery. Also see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Thank you, but if i understand SuperSU right, the phone must be rooted first?
iam a bit confused
also i think the knox Trigger will be hit?
To use the SuperSU app you need to be rooted. The zip file you flash in recovery. I don't know if it'll trip knox but I'm guessing, yes.
ok i will life with that, so let me tell you my following Actions:
i download: UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46
put it to my sdcard and reboot in save mode (pressing 3 home on and volume up)
but what to to next? and is the device rooted after that?
sorry but iam not familar with android
I don't know your device and I can't find any information on XDA about it, but can you boot into recovery and find where it allows you to install a zip from the sdcard? You'd need to do that.
in the menü there is a Point:
"update from external device" i can navigate in the folders
but i can´t select the zip file (i put it to the root of the Card)
or should it be extracted?
thank you
Root (sm-g388f)
I would also like root rights on this unit ...
I've done over the recovery flash su version 1.8x but after the start I had the phone off third-party applications with the message "Safe Mode" and it could not be repaired other than by re-recording the original ROM
The question is jerstli version 2.46 or 2.49 beta version can handle it
I will be glad for the advice
... I am sorry for my bad English
i just started 2.46 now i see the andriod logo and downloading ....
do not disconnect usb cable
during the Software update
i think this is showing since 5 minutes nothing happens
do i have a brick now?
My own opinion ... I would have left it until the spawn either error messages or will Torch: D
EDIT: But let me know if you succeeded or not .. or what it's done
phone and Akku are quite warm
but no Change on the Screen
how Long should this Action usually take?
please reply from somebody who did such a update already?
i interupted the process
phone is starting, no root
and biggest Problem so far recovery menue not acessable
allways try to Flash die zipfile
but i allready removed it from the sdcard, so i think its in a Cache?
any idea how to fix that?
ok iam a bit stupid
power + home + vol up = recovery menu
power + home + vol down = flashing from external source?
so no Problem right now but no root
We're going to have to leave it to someone smarter ... or I do not know stim board ... I think you need to unlock the bootloader and perhaps ?? something ??
Hi guys. This thread has gone beyond the scope of XDA Assist so I'm going to ask that it be moved here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help Others with your device may see it and be able to help you
ok thank you, hope this will help
somebody sugested to install first twrp and with twrp it should be able to Flash the su.zip
but as my googleing tells me it must be a specific Version of twrp for the xcover 3 but nothing to find right now
any ideas
I'm not sure but maybe it was a flash from another phone with the same hardware but I do not understand. I calmly tried but we have to order the phone has the same or at least similar specifications
:cyclops:
you are right i think the last galaxy neo is quit similar
Do you mean this model? SAMSUNG GALAXY NEO i9060
Or send what you think
the Galaxy J1 4G nearly got the same specs , same board same cpu .. different ram and camera
but its also not rootable ;(
