[Q] Please forgive me but please help - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello my lovely XDA friends...
before i start with my issue id like to say that i have searched and searched and searched for the answer to my little problem and ive come up with nothing that i either understand or been able to solve my problem so PLEASE dont shout, moan or carper about my following question.
first is i own a samsung galaxy s2 i9100 on the three network in the UK, had the phone about a year and successfully flashed ics rooted 4.0.4 on my device.
when I did this everything worked fine except my camera and the ability to watch videos.. skype was fine although i can only see the calling party and not myself.. my own video being always black regardless.
I still have all the files needed should you need to know these. just let me know.
I'm truly sorry about this.. but after all this time im at my whits end with how to solve this..
can you help me?
yours
a very tired dreammaster.

stock kernal on ics 4.0.4 had a camera issue on the sgs 2 when firstflashed.
Just change the kernal to a siyah 4.1.5 or any similiar kernal without the mali drivers and your phone should work fine.
there was also a camera fix in one of the forums.

[Q] Microphone Problem After Root

Greetings from sunny Gran Canaria...
Ok im a little gutted about this but hopefully one of you guru's will rescue me.
I got my SGS2, marvellous
I rooted with a very difficult to find KF5 insecure Kernel
Installed Rom
and now when i make calls all people can hear is "white noise" kinda sound..
i know its not the mic cos i tested with skype so obviously something has buggered up..
Tried couple other Kernals, same issue!
HELP!!!!
***FIXED***
Just reinstalled original stock rom and kernel... i think the problem was an incompatible modem... reinstalling seems to have fixed..

I would not do it unless you want to brick your phone. The difference is the processor.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1346 go there to find your rom. Good Luck!

there are no roms for you because there are maybe a total of 3 guys on here with a Korean note. All came. posted the same question once. everyone said don't do it. they never posted again.
you are better off swapping it for a i717 or N7000 if you want to mod it. flashing a Rom made for any other device than YOURS is asking for a brick.
when you say useful answers, do you mean until someone tells you what you want to hear?
there are reasons your model number is completely different. its not only cosmetic.
to my knowledge, only one person said he would take a bullet and flash it anyways, and to hell with the consequences. He has not reported back...yet.
I, for one, would not risk a $600 device on a gamble.
What I meant by useful answer is ; a person answering or writing some info who knows this business and can give a detailed answer regarding the flashing . Because a person who works with these kind of devices would know if the device has exactly the same specs or not and if it would be safe to flash by looking at the specs sheet . Or at least he would have an idea about it... Additionally they might have a friend who has done something like this in the past with different devices... I am sure there are a lot more people who has this korean version but they dont feel encouraged to try anything or even open a thread because of the answers like this. I am pretty sure there are Koreans reading these posts too so they might have something to share. All I am trying to say is because this device costs 1200$ in my country I bought it from Korea for 550$ while I had the chance. And just wanted to see if there are solutions for some questions regarding korean version of this model .
But thx for your reply anyways...

[Q] cyanogenmod 9 on SAMSUNG-SGH-I747

Hello,
I have a rooted Samsung galaxy s3 (SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 ) and want to load cyanogenmod9 but I haven't seen any articles/posts on how to do it. Does anyone know of a way to do this for my specific model? Or does that even matter? Pre-emptive thanks for any help XD
-Deadround
Sorry, wrong forum! :silly:
@Mod: Please move this thread!
As far as I can tell, no one is working on it yet.
I will contribute what I can to help it happen. Can an interested developer share information on how this is done in general? Or maybe start an IRC where we can work on it?

None out yet and dont attempt to flash the International rom or you WILL brick your phone. Just need to wait it out, it might be a while though.
It's being worked on:

I forgot to mention that I am on at&t. Does that matter?
Not much. The LTE variants are very similar.

hi thanks for the reply but i think i figured it out. i was looking in other posts and stuff about the same problem and or ones about how to root and i think i just used a out of date kernel thing. because i found the same kerrnel i used that messed up my cell but the other one i found was a newer version i tihnk. so i downloaded that and did the thing with odin and yah it rebooted perfectly and from what i see my cell is rooted.
Good news then

I bet the yellow triangle gets on your nerves next ha! i found using a jig was the best way and safest to get rid of the triangle,but there is software to get rid i think it is by chainfire.
Galaxy S2 i9100 wont reboot after rooting
Hi There,
I have exactly the same problem. I did try to root and followed the instructions given in galaxys2root dot com.
Followed the link "ww.galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-i9100-icsandroid-4-0/" . ( One 'W' is intentionally missing in the referred link as a spoof. I am a new user with less than 10 posts so I am not allowed to paste a working link. Sorry) I went through the video first and followed all instructions threadbare.
Odin returned a green success message too. but the phone would not wake up beyond the Samsung Boot logo for S2. I was on ICS version 4.0.X prior to the ilflated root and my phone version is GT-I9100G.
You must excuse me, I did not note down my previous baseband version and similar other details in the about phone. I bought the phone from a Hongkong based ebay vendor and I live in Australia.
I am hoping i have not lost completely my phone and data. I have written too that web site too. Could you please help as soon as possible. I am without a phone.
thanks heaps in advance,
guppeey
