[Q] Problem with Rom - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi everybody.
i'm not new in this forum but i onl now registered so i cant post in the android development section ( or so the site says)
i have a Samsung Galaxy S II ( GT-i9100)
i was using a CM10 based Paranoid android Rom for a long time and it was great.
a few days ago i wanted to use a new ROM - [ROM 4.1.2 - 4.2] JellyBam - 20121115 [AOKP.CM10.PARANOID] [AROMA] [SPACESTYLE]
i did exactly what the instructions said :
Put Rom zip in internal SD
wipe data + cache + Dalvik
install rom - using siyah Kernel 5.0.1
after the install the Rom lodas fine and seems to work great but after the first time i need to restart the phone it get stuck in the boot animation
i tried doing another Cache + Dalvik wipe after the install but it still happens
when i was searching the Rom's Forum , no one seemed to had the same problem, and that is why i am posting this here.
if any one can help i will be grateful.
thanks in advance
shlomo
p.s.
for now i went back to a Nand backup of my old rom...

hi there.
i manged to fix the first problem by flashing the rom with a different kernel - Dorimanx...
but now i have a different problem
everytime that i turn the phone on i get the messege "upgrading android"
and there are times that the phone turnes off for no reason (mainly when i get incoming calls)
and after that when i turn it back on again the battary is almost dead - today it happened when i had 70% and when i turned in back on the battary went down to 4%!!!
what can i do???

1.Wipe data/factory reset
2.Format /system
3.Flash the ROM (choose whatever Kernel in aroma)
4.Wipe cache
5.Wipe dalvik
6.Restart
Try that.
edit: oh and if the battery problem persists, calibrate your battery (there are plently of guides out there i'm sure you can find)

Thankx for the help, ill try that (again). Just a few questions.
Do you recommend a specific kernel (if j usr siyah i seem to get a bootloop)
What guide do you recommend to calibrate the battary, there are allot of them out there that i dont kbow which to use
Thanks again.

u can use Dorimanx v7.22 kernel ma8
also battery callibration apps will not aid u in any way on ur SGS2, since it comes with seperate Fuel gauge chip
u can use the 'Stweaks' app that comes with the Dorimanx kernel and do a 'Reset Fuel gauge chip' in it to have a better reading with ur battery

thanks for the advice about the kernel, ill do that
about the fule guge chip - what exacatly does it mean that the phone have a separate one? and if i do reset it using ths stweaks, than what - is that all it takes to recalibrate the battary?

You can reset the fuel gauge chip, and if it doesnt work you can try the following: charge the battery to 100%, leave it on the charger. Go to recovery, wipe battery stats under advanced. Reboot, unplug from charger.
Hope it helps.
Edit: I think I read somewhere that its recommended to leave the battery to fully discharge after wiping bat stats (let the phone turn itself off) and then recharge again.

hi .
i did what you said and for some reason it erased my External SD card.... where i had all my backups!!
edit: first few times it worked well... now i have a bootloop again and nothing works....
another Edit : figured it out. it didnt erase my External SD, i Just can mount it. not from the system itself and not from the recovery either...
when i connect the phone to my PC it dosent show up also

Why don't you try Rootbox? Jelly bam is based on it anyway, why not try the rom from the dev instead of a cook

well... tried Rootbox and i gotta say its a nice rom.
bot not more then that... the paranoid android settings are all wonky there and i still get many bootloops - even you can work around them by turning on and off...
going to try P.A.C Rom
any advice would be appreciated
Edit: well, tried P. A. C Rom, worked well to start with. But then again it started a bootloop for no reason... For now went back to a nand backup of jellybam from 16/11 that seems to be the most stable. Why does this keep happening???

[Q] Battery issue - ICS Omega v5.1 ROM

Hi, i've encountered some issue with battery since I installed this ROM.
I had some freeze and when I rebooted the phone the battery level dropped down of 20-30%...Also during the charge the behaviour was not "normal".. I can post some screenshot to made my explaination "visible".
The first time I had this problem, I reflashed the rom after a full wipe (data and cache) and after i hadn't performed the backup but installed the apps one by one from the store..that not solved the problem. I uninstalled set CPU, I also changed the battery...same freeze and same problem...Any advice?
Thank you!
Try another rom .
jje
Go back to GB until ICS gets rid of bugs.
Sent from my phone to your mind
I`m using same rom but never had issue with battery. I suggest you to use phone until battery will be 0%, use until phone will shut down itself. Leave it off and charge battery for 7 hours. Turn it on and find on market battery calibration, calibrate the battery. Also you can try to change kernel. Good luck
Thank you all. I'll try to calibrate the battery (i think that it is clear that is not a battery problem) before changing kernel and then ROM.

strange that because im getting better battery life than i did from stock gb although i have frozen all samsung apps through titanium im amazed really. It probably takes a couple of charges to sort the battery on a new rom.
Well...I've performed the cleaning of the kernel..and installed a new kernel. No matter which kernel: the battery behaviour is the same. 30 minutes ago screenshot.
I'm going mad
Have you tried another battery, doing full wipes or reflashing rom

I tried with another battery.
I did a full wipe.
I refleshed the rom after the full wipe.
The only thing to do is change the rom.
For the moment I unistalled some apps (Set CPU was already uninstalled..now I deleted Rom Toolbox)

I agree. I myself am using Omega Ice Cream Sandwich 10.4 still
At the moment the problem is gone...propably it was due to the apps setCPU and Rom Toolbox..both set the CPU.
I continue to check the behaviour..the battery life is about 14 hours...maybe it is possible to set the phone to do better..more battery life...

[Q] HELP! My galaxy s2 randomly shuts down!.

I've been experiencing a random shut down on my phone since i started using custom roms. Ive been using Resurrection Remix (currently 2.3) and this problem has always been there. I already do the 4 wipes before installing the new versions (to have a clean install) so i dont think the wipes will help me here. Another thing i noticed is that when it shuts down, it gets REALLY hot until i power it on by pressing on the power button for about 5 seconds. Also the battery drops drastically. So please tell me what could solve the problem!.

Please excuse the rediculous response above me, this person obviously has some superiority issues they need to deal with, Now, the most reason for phones getting hot like this is that you possible have a misbehaving application or some files left over on your sd card from a previous rom.
The most common problem when installing a new rom is that the roms have different file structures and so when you install a new rom this file structure incompatibillity causes issues. You need to wipe and format both internal sd card and external storage. Best do that from recovery, go into storage options and then format sd card, format mmc.
Now, connect your phone to your pc via usb. Now in recovery mount sd card, mount system. Now transfer your Rressurection rom.zip to sd card. Now unmount sd card, unmount system and then disconnect usb from pc. Now flash the zip from recovery. After the rom.zip has been flashed, go and reboot system. Once you reboot system and your phone boots up, give it +-5 minutes just to settle before you configure everything. All should now be mellow. If it is not just give me pm and I will personally try to assist you. And if that fails, we can always hookup skype and I can see your phone via webcam and diagnose the issues directly.
Please know that what the above person said by no way reflects the general attitude at xda, most people are kind and helpful and try to make the world a better place. Good Luck bro and I hope you come right.

Hey bro, thanks a lot for ur help! .. about wiping and formatting, doesnt that mean i'll lose all the stuff on my phone? *pictures,music, apps etc..* ?
Yes formatting will erase everything, so save your stuff first.
Also I say first flash a New ICS stock ROM using Odin, or just the modem, as I find modem and kernel Both responsible for heat issues

I'll revert back to resurrection remix 2.2 as it uses cm9 kernel.. if it works fine then i'll know it's the kernel problem.
Oh, btw i use Titanuim back up to back up my apps.. if i copy the titanium back up folder on my computer then format the sd card then put it again, will it work properly and restore my apps again?

Try to end your batt till the phone automatically shutdown (0%), then from phone off recharge to 100% + 70 minutes. Boot to CWM > advance > wipe dalvik cache 2X & wipe battery stats 3x > reboot.

Bro it is not what you say but how you say it, you are being self righteous, arrogant and your attitude basically stinks. Remember others are also just starting up and insensitive unsubstantiated comments like yours makes them feel really bad. How would you like it if someone responded to your innocent question with, just dont flash a custom rom.
Oh, you know what, forget about it people like you are incapable of showing intellect, compassion, understanding and an evolved sense of decorum. You my friend will get what you deserve sooner or later, because what you dish out comes back 10 fold. End of Lesson.

The adding 70 minutes in recharging will not explode your batt.. lol again.. it's called cycle & trickle charge.. definetly to make sure u're completely charging fully n makes adding extra volume...

Galaxy S2 Random Shut down
I am experiencing a similar problem, though my issue is with the official 4.0.3 build.
I'm running 4.0.3 on Galaxy S2 (UK), phone is crashing randomly, only way to turn it back on is to remove battery and start again. On my 2nd handset as I've sent it in for repair once, got given a replacement hand set, due to them damaging my original handset (another story), only had this 2nd handset a week and same thing has started happening again.
Is anyone else having this problem, I'm starting to think it's the ICS 4.0.3 build, not playing nice. Any suggestions?
Thank you all in advance for your help.

S3 discharging and charging slowly

Hello xda. Lately I've flashed jellybean update from sammobile. Since the beginning it was pretty unstable and then yesterday out of no where it started charging really slow and at times begins discharging itself too. I've the stock charger and cable. Plus I've flashed cm10 and omega too but no avail. Should I flash it back to ics? I know there's no issue with charger and cable.

I have this problem to.. i want to say after flash omega rom while charging the led is red but is a black-red .. now dont have a higher bringhnes.
I tried all popular kernels. 4-5 h for full batery
Sorry for my en.
How did you install Omega?
Full Wipe?
If you didn't do a full wipe, I would start with a fresh install, with a full wipe, or alternatively, Wipe Delvic Cache, Cache,Format System, Format Preload, and finally Fix Permissions.
Slower charging appears to be coming more of a common problem for people on JB now.
I had notice a decreased charge rate, however after a full wipe, and updating to Syiah 1.8 it appears to have returned back to normal.
I have a frash install (with full whipe ) and i just installed siyah 1.8 but nothing yet..
Format System ? :blink: Why?

SGS3 Keeps rebooting on lockscreen pls help!

Hi S3 fellow users,
Yesterday i wanted to try some new rom so i flashed Darkys rom with siyah kernel, works fine but flashed back to stock because didnt like the rom, now it reboots itself everytime when its on the lock screen and by itself...
I flashed different stock roms and custom roms with odin for 15times, i wiped everything for 100 times.... dont know what to do? any tips?
I try to flash siyah kernel but that also didnt work.... is there something that can wipe everything and is not a odin flash or a wipe factory from recovery. Please help i need my s3:crying:
Try deleting the initd folder.might be conflicting scripts in that folder..
You'll find in system/etc,delete initd and reboot..
I have no other idea without more info.

Yes i did 10 times wipe, i tryd different custom roms, and different stock roms, with odin and with cwm..
Now what i found out is that it only reboots when the screen is off so in lockscreen. if i hold the phone awake it wont reboot,
is there an tool to clean the whole system up? like intitd that i cant found in any way..
How could i delete all the mods that came from other roms? i cant find the initd folder...
My phone is on stock 4.1.1 siyah kernel, rooted, busybox, cwm recovery 6.0.1.2, have root explorer working.
I did wipe/factory reset, dalvik, fix permission, wipe batt stats, wipe cach flashing kernel/rom official and non official
and my phone keeps rebooting when the screen go's off auto or if i pres the power button.
Did you changed CPU voltage or clock settings earlier?
BTW you can remove files with ADB.
1) Boot into recovery
2) Connect USB
3) open ADB shell - 'adb shell'
4) navigate to the folder - 'cd /system/etc/'
5) Remove the files - 'rm -r init.d'
6) exit and reboot phone
Yes i did that early i try 1800 max in stweaks on siyahkernel and then the phone rebooted, dont know exactly what happend then but everything was fine after that... i also used other roms and kernels...
But thanks for your advice i will try to do this, i am new to ADB so i am going to figure that out right now.
is it possible to do that with cwm recovery on it?
That's what the problem is. I did it to my phone once. I overcolocked and undervolt.
Everything worked fine for few mins. But when I rebooted my phone, it went to lock screen and hang for few secs and then reboot again.
Never go to 1800 but a max of 1600. mine max is 1500 now.
Let me gather more info for you.

Had same thing happen to me, my fix, 1st save everything to pc from sdcard and titanium backup if you can. Flash stock rom and then put (i use omega v34) on external sdcard. Flash touch recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik, fact reset then go to usb mount and format everything (except external card obviously) then flash omega rom.

I just try the exact method you say just to be sure but the same problem remains, i wiped everything that i could but it remains the phone reboots when the screen is off or it dont reboot but it freezes when the screen is off.
I dont think of hardware related problem because when i keep the screen awake i can do whatever i want without problem....

[Q] Hard brick Samsung Galaxy SII

Hi, i'm a new user of SG SII, and i don't know much about it. I was trying to install new ROM on it, first I tried to unroot my phone with CF ROOT, after that everthing was OK. Then i tried to install REVOLT JB i9100 ver 2.8.2, when i got by CWM in recovery, instead of clicking wipe data, then cache and ccache partition i did: wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partition, wipe dalwik cache and format system. I flashed kernel and during ROM installation phone turned off and did turn on. i think it's hard bricked. I don't know what to do, please help.
Are you still able to get into don't download mode o your phone ? ( volume down, home key, power button )
If so, reflash your kernel and go from there.
Also have a look at CyanogenMod, they have a good post with instructions on here.

no, phone doesn.t response on anything, even if i'm charging the battery.
Try removing your battery and unplug cables.
Then try download or recovery mode again.
If it really doesnt work then there is probably something fried on your system board, doubt anything you can do about it as i had the same not that long ago out of the blue.

Did it and still nothing, do you think that maybe JIG plug could be a good idea?
You could always give it a go, havent had any experience with i myself tho so hopefully someone else here can give you a hand

I had a similar issue with sgs1 back in the day. I built a jig and got it working so give it a shot if you can. Its worth it for the cost of a jig surely?

ok, i'll try to do it. but i have to ask if that will not work, can i save my phone by changing main board on warranty in service?
You can always tell them that you were updating via kies and it dropped dead just like that.
Your battery was low when you tried to flash it, wasn't it?
try a jig first tho; there's something fishy about those wipes you mentioned.

On some occasions flashing a device can use 40-50% of battery to prep and flash device which is why its advised to never flash your phone unless you have at least 50-60% battery.
If power cuts out during flashing procedure it can damage nand/ic chip, corrupt bootloader, corrupt sdcards etc.
After leaving it plugged into to charger overnight try a USB jig to see if you can get it to wake up in download mode, If you can re-flash rom and go from there.

battery was about 70%, so it should not have turned off

then I was right with the fishy wipes.
pray for the jig.
From what you described, it couldn't have hard bricked your phone. In fact, it isn't easy to hard brick our phone unless you install that infamous ICS 4.0.4 leaked ROM or mess with flashing of PIT file. Try to use another fully charged battery to boot up or go into CWM recovery.

while i was installing new rom, process was like 0% for about 5 minutes, and then phone just turned off. When i did flashing and installing CWM everything was ok. I rooted it with CF root.
Exact same problem here. Followed the root guide to the letter and all OK. Set omega rom installing and it stayed at 0 for five mins then it shut off. Now no life at all.
Gonna build a jig tomorrow so I'll update here if it works.
Really hope so as it's a mates phone.
I've done my s3, s1 and the Mrs s2 without it going wrong so I'm not sure how it went wrong this time.

Your phone have got super brick, and the JIG nothing to do.... You must go to service.
The reason for this is stock kernel who has kode cause brick.
Sorry for my english!
Ah that's a shame. Fingers crossed it's still under warranty or it's gonna be an expensive month.
