try updating it to 4.0.3 which has better battery performance

which rom did yu update to.
Som roms have alot of customizations which will run down the battery fast if not set to manual start. like email, sync and a few other apps.

Hey, what a wonderful help . Im using 4.0.1. I really got a feeling that my ROM drain my battery. To be honest , I have some knowledge about computer , could you simply guide a little bit on how I can switch my ROM from 4.0.1 to 4.0.3 ?

I just tried to update it by going to setting and hit software update and then it says the phone got the update file and tells me that the phone will be rebooted. However , after the booting it says the phone failed to update and suggested I use something like kies or visit Samsung Service center

Simply flash a rom based on 4.0.3.

Is flashing risky ?

but don't flash 4.1.2 coz it is pre-rooted

Can you please give me the link to download for the ROM and also How to load on the device as the phone is not booting. Any other way of flashing like odin downloader or similar.

Alright, so I had efs problem two days back. No imei and network. So I restored to stock and problem was sorted. But now if I try to install and i9100 based stock jb port, I end up with a black screen. Even other roms ported from i9100 cause the same problem. Any kind of help would be great.

Galaxy s2 wont boot up !

Hi all , sorry if i made this topic and it is already answered but i have searched for an answer a long wile without results :/
My friend's galaxy s2 wont boot up or even charge after a battery pull without turning off the device , he said , when off charge it is complitly dead and when in charge it shows the battery to be charged then it reboots and does always the same thing !!
The phone is on stock jb rooted with costom kernel siyah i think , i thought a fresh install of stock rom through odin will fix that but it doesn't unfortunately
How to fix please ???

Have you tried a diffrent battery??
Might be a hardware problem. But Samsung wont help since you messed up the software. Can you explain more in detail so we can know more about your situation?
Thanks.

i can't explain more because that hasn't been happening with me , it happened in my friend's hands and he said that
He pulled the battery out without shutting down the device and when plugged in the phone haven't been recognising the sim card then it doesn't want to boot up at all , when he gave it to me to try to fix , i plugged it in charge and it booted for 3 or 4 secs showing " battery is charging " image , i tried to flash stock rom via odin but that haven't helped at all , i hope i'm clearer now

No one wants to help you?
Let me try. Download stock firmware from samsung mobile,find a proper drivera,uninstall Samsung Keis,if you have one and flash stock firmware with Odin. Since you are already in download mode,just connect the phone when you do all the above.
If something goes wrong,write here

I don't think so. There are some software for sure that can do that( mostly paid ones) but i think it's lost cause.
The problem is that you flashed the new firmware,you didn't perform factory reset.
