Hello
I have a big problem. Every time i start my sgs2 new, some applications are deleted and some setups also gone. I have Checkrom hd v6 and Android 2.3.6. I tried siyah and speedmod kernel, but nothing has changed. I hope some of you can help me. I searched but I couldn't find some threads where my problem was mentioned.

Yes and stock rom will wipe the phone though some stuff may still be on the sd card .

So this is like I would format the sd card or is there an different between format sd card and install the stock rom? Or do I have I to do both?

Hello,
I installed Teamcooper CM7.2 (nightly don't remember the exact version) on my mom's mobile.
The PC does not shows the device storage. Hence she cannot copy any pictures / songs to the mobile. ((Airdroid) Wifi is not an option for now)
Any help would be really appreciated
Cheers
Download samsung android usb driver from here
http://www.4shared.com/rar/vaejbJQG/samsung_usb.html
Extract the rar file and install driver.Restart PC(not compulsory).Now connect your phone..Done!!
As its Cyangenmod, I don't think you can use Kies. Just take out the memory card and shove it in your computer.

Umm.. I'm pretty sure TCooper didn't compile a CM7 rom well anyway.. i'm pretty sure you got CWM.. so here.. boot to CWM, mounts and storage then mount USB

thank you all. I was too fast in typing I guess. Kies wont work on CM as I have CM9 on SGS2 I knew that well but didn't realize what i was asking.
What I wanted to ask is how to get the USB work on PC. Since it's my mom's phone I wanted to help her. I made a mistake in flashing the custom firmware
Will try the USB drivers

Sorry, I thought you needed to access the SD card. Go to the stickies and find the guide. It tells you how to use ODIN.

Ok. She tried installing it the usb drivers provided by @side_effect but didnt work. Computer(Win 7) still does not show up the external SD storage as drives
Unfortunately we are continents apart so only way for me is do over skype and desktop sharing :-(
I made a mistake of flashing custom rom on her mobile when I went home this summer
any ideas?

hi ,
i try to flash a new rom from the phone turned out that was not the correct zip file i downloaded. now i wiped cache and system and when i try to system boot it says no os so i cannot boot again. basically i'm stuck in twrp. can somebody please help. how should i flash new rom ?
Did you not make a backup?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Not sure if this is what you need,a member here much smarter than I told me this about my E970 when it was unplugged before the backup was made.
In the end these phones are basically unbrickable, so you can always get into download mode (Vol up + Vol down +usb cable +power) and use LGNPST to restore back to stock. LGNPST info can be found on irc
I do not know what irc is but there ya go,google away and hope it works .
I don't completely understand what I'm doing when I'm doing things to my phone. All I know is that some pretty great people with a much better understanding of the inner workings of phones tell me to do this or that. On that note, why are people so quick to say their phone is bricked when they still have a phone that will boot into something? Anyway...
What if you try removing the sd card, use another phone or an adapter for a pc, to download a rom to it. Put it back in your phone boot into recovery and flash it.
Or use that LGPNST, or whatever you call it, method...

There should be two choices, flash from internal and flash from external. Did you choose the correct one?

If you are in TWRP you could use the file manager under advanced to try and move the .zip to internal memory. Then see if you can flash.
But I always flash from external and never have issues.
You may have a corrupt .zip, maybe try downloading it again and then try again.
I had an issue where my SD card wasn't Fat32 so TWRP wouldn't put anything on the SD or boot anything off the SD. I can't remember if I could browse the folders with TWRP's file manager or not though. That's not much help I know, but might be worth looking into. You can try formatting your SD as Fat32, loading the stock ROM on it, then see if TWRP will flash it.

That error will always happen. You can safely ignore it.
Wait so if you can get to TWRP why not just push the zip you need using ADB?

Hello! I need help so bad , my phone doesn't recognize any SIM Card and my IMEI is empty.
I followed this guide with no success.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021 What am I doing wrong?
I have a lot of EFS backups, so I don't know what's the problem. I even tried to copy my EFS backup content to the root EFS manually, but it didn't work. I even used the HC-kTool to make a restore... but everything seems useless. Is there something I am missing here?
I have a disable symbol instead of signal bar (/) I manage to take it away one time but it came back. I don't know what to do, I'm so desperate:crying:
I found this alternative http://www.unlocksamsungonline.nl/in...?page=download but I don't know if this works, what do you guys think?
I'm sorry for my bad english and thank you so much in advanced!!!

Is the same link I said I followed its instructions. It didn't worked.
I had the same problem, the only tool I needed was root explorer to fix.
Begin by selecting one of the compressed files in your EFS_BACKUP on your external SD.
Pick anyone but ensure it's one from before you began to have your IMEI problem.
Copy this file to your PC then expand, place the expanded file and its contents in a place you will remember on your external SD card
Now as a precaution before you start making any changes, take note of the permissions of the original efs folder on the root of your phone,
and make a copy and place in a safe place even thou it could be corrupt.
Now Open root explorer option change root explorer from Read Only to Read Write
Now you can delete your corrupted efs folder and replace it with the copy from your EFS_BACKUP folder from your external SD card
Now reboot and fingers crossed you should be back on network good luck, I hope this helps

Ok, I have done this so far... and I got my SIM detected and my IMEI back. BUT!!! I can't unlock my device anymore, I tried with GalaxSIM, Galaxy S2 unlock, Galaxy S2 Sim Unlock.
With GalaxSIM I did the unlock procedure and restarted, went back to the app and it showed that my phone was unlocked, but it wasn't. And then My IMEI is gone again... What is happening? why my IMEI is coming and going ?

As I I mentioned I have a lot of EFS but they aren't in the same format.
efsbackup.tar.gz

efs_11Jan2013-0222.tar.gz
efs_backup.tar.gz
efs_save_for_sgsII.tar.gz
and this...
nv_data.bin.unlocked
Do you think it's ROM related? I'm trying with CM10 ...Which ROM do you recommend me to make the unlock?
How I restore those backups, because when I restore some, I don't see any changes at all.

Mate my point is there is nothing to flash, it's simply copy paste, expand file, goto root delete old file and replace with uncompressed file.
When you uncompress the .tar do this in a folder on your desktop and you will see the contents for yourself,
NOTE you are not installing anything onto your PC you're just uncompressing a file in a folder oh and don't forget to remove the compressed file.

I don't think so as you're not able to check file permissions.
I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wiY29tLnNwZWVkc29mdHdhcmUucm9vdGV4cGxvcmVyIl0.
You can find a free apk out there on the tinterweb, I would always recommend purchasing but it's up to you
Oh and FORGET about Odin you don't need it and it will not help you READ my instructions

If this is so you can drag and drop files (Music, Pictures etc) between your PC and mobile just install Kies this will install the correct drivers then just connect your phone, let the drivers install then whenever you connect the phone to the PC the Auto Play option will appear on your PC just click the folder.
You don't need to use Kies it just ensures you get the latest correct drivers, you can google the drivers and install separately if you want.
