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?

hey,
prehisory:
last night, my phone were somewhere in my bed, cus i fell asleep. the wohle night i'm charging my phone always.
(happened a few times, but i think this time i slept over my phone)
next morning i woke up, picked up the phone & wanted to use it, but it got a freeze screen, was medium-temperatured (not more than a little gaming).
didn't thought anything bad, i pulled out my micro usb charger and forced a restart by contiounsly press power.
problem now:
it booted up as normal but it took really longer than usual. it seemed to freeze sometimes during boot, sometimes i canceled booting, and tried another time..
really really strange behaviors happened, but after a long time just let the phone boot, i got dropped to my homescreeen. all was looking good except the whole status bar just wasn't there. damn.. but ok, tried another 1-2 boots, to see if it get stable after a while but that doens't changed anything..
i can't eitgher get into CWM, just into download mode.
ideas?
i thought overheated but i guess that my phone either would'nt boot up (cpu burned) or stays at black screen (gpu burned)?
so i tried getting into CWM which doesn't worked. then i flashed official samsung ics via odin -> boots up till the coulorized "S" appears, stays in this state, and keep bootlooping (see this when the animation starts by this kind of flowers again)
tried another older stock rom, the same. stock kernel, the same, cf-root with CWM4, the same, i cant even then get in CWM..
any idea??
i'm goin crazy on this.. too much money wasted if this wont work -.-

Which part of "i can't eitgher get into CWM, just into download mode. " did you not understand?
OP:
Just flash a ICS rom for now and later you can try to see if it works or not. (CWM)
Have a good day.
Can you get stock recovery?
From Odin flash cwm, not the CFRoot one. than try it, strange you can get download mode but not recovery.
You have to wipe to get rid of boot loop

so, finally i got it back,
did this howto: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
so now i'm back on stock ICS samsungs rom.
flashed the suitable CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5.tar
but now i can't access the CWM menue, by pressing power, vol up, home
?
When you say you can't access recovery, what's happening?
PROBLEM SOLVED
YOU FORGOT TO USE THE HOME KEY
1. Put 1 finger on home
2. Put 1 finger on volume up
3. Put 1 finger on top of power
4. Press them all together, and as soon as you see the anything on the screen, let go of everything
>>>>next time try to look up a guide on how to get into cwm recovery<<<<

i did, it doesnt accessed cwm. never mind tryin around solved it.
now all fresh installed off samsungs official, but it isnt as good as before:
still slow bootup, and my status-bar is missing after booting (using latest miui which i also had before this problem, so formerly it was working)
after bootup, touch keys and all other won't response, so if bootup to lockscreen -> wait til screen goes off -> u cant wake the phone, or u have to wait a while maybe it light up for some reason.
any ideas?
hardware damage? i hope not..
no i think you need a good wipeing. but you need to find a way to get into download mode, dont give up try it 3 more time's, dont keep pressing the after the buttons logo apears
try this or its hardware............ you do any deviation and you are on your own.
remove your external sdcard and dont put it back until you are sure your phone works
as per your above post you can access cwm
1: format data / cache / system / sdcard or emmc [system is a must]
2: format preboot / boot [cwm 5.5 or some alternat if option available]
3: download stock i9100 ROM from checkfus (prefer) or sammobile
4: flash using odin, after first boot dial *2767*3855#
5: do not sign in, use for half hour or so, if you think it works sign in to google.
6: do not restore any thing, no titanium backups/restores
7: do not put your sdcard
if your phone works now you know its not hardware now do whatever
thanks mate you strength my opinion and hope that it isn't hardware.
i already had an stock ICS samsung rom on it, with sd mounted all worked fluently and well. (LPH rom). so i flashed a suitable CF-root with CWM, get in there, flashed custom ROM (latest miui + siyah kernel, the same combination i used for month and it worked).
so but what causes these problems i have? before it was fast booting and stable, now slow and the status bar is missing, the rom wont boot up in a normal way, i have to "bully" my phone while boot that i can see the desktop..
?
And your problem suddenly changed!
Custom ROM issues, download again, download something else, wipe, flash again.

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)

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,
Please help!... I am unable to use my phone after doing something that maybe I shouldn't have done!!
First let me go through some steps that led to the phone becoming unusable.
1) First I successfully rooted the phone (using instructions off the net)
2) I tested the rooting by clicking on the SuperSU App and granting the necessary permissions.
3) Next I downloaded the Titanium Backup and successfully backed up my phone
4) Then I decided to go back into the SuperSU (just to see what kind of things I could do with the superuserApp)... and a POP-UP Window appeared. Now I really can't remember the exact message but it basically was asking me if I wanted to perform some sort of conversion. Without giving it too much thought and like an idiot I just clicked on YES. The phone then rebooted and remained STUCK on the screen where the "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100" message flashes up with a yellow triangle exclamation mark below (please see attached pic). It doesn't matter how long I wait or how many times I reboot the phone remains stuck on this screen.
Please note the following:
-- If I press (Volume Up + Home button + Power button) simultaneously the same screen appears (ie the Samsung Galaxy message) however long I keep the buttons pressed.
-- If I press (Volume Down + Home button + Power button) I get something different happening ie A warning message about custom OS (see attached pic) and when I press the Volume Up button to continue I get the screen with the Android symbol and the word downloading below it with some ODIN Mode information at the top of the screen (see attached pic).
I'm praying AND got my fingers arms & legs crossed that I haven't "bricked" the phone!!
Please please help!... I would really appreciate your assistance in getting my phone working again (if it's at all possible now).
Oh and apologies if I have posted in the wrong area.
Many thanks in advance.
Kieron
@Kieron139 as far as I know you have done something to your system which doesnt allows it to fully boot aka soft brick. The yellow triangle is just an download counter a bit. But you can reset that but I only did that when I sold it, triangle is cool.
What you can try is to download Odin on pc, follow odin guide in general I believe for the s2 and flash back to stock.
Tip: dont turn off your phone if download mode failed, just reconnect the cable.
@wulsic ... many thanks for the quick reply!
I have the ODIN program, I used it (with the appropriate jar file) when I rooted the phone. However I'm not sure how to flash is back to stock using the odin program, also I'm new to this site so can you tell me where I can find the odin guide explaining how to do this... or if there is a "how to"thread explaining step by step how to flash back to stock?
Kieron
@wulsic... I managed to find step by step instructions to flash back to stock, however as well as the ODIN program it says I need to have a copy of my stock ROM.... but where do I get this from?
@Kieron139 it tooksome timemy tablet hanged but here is a guide,
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...e-guide-using-odin-de-bloat-root-recover.html
You only need to find the galaxy s2 stock rom from internet and download it, the flash it in pda and see the guide for more details. Make sure you have the s2 firmware not aother one.
Edit: :/ that post timing. But I will find a link for you now.
@Kieron139 here find the s2 firmware from sammobile.com and samsung-updates.com
@wulsic ... that's super! will access the links, download the ROM and let you know how I get on!... but it may take me a little longer than it should as I'm going to take my time and follow the instructions carefully so I don't muck it up lol
@Kieron139 No problem, take the time. Better to do it slowly then bricking your phone. I will respond as fast as I can when you have a question but I can't answer directly maybe when your rom download is done. Goodluck! :good:
@wulsic ... I think I still need your help with identifying the correct stock ROM file. The two links you gave, I couldn't work out how to search for the file in the first one but in the second one when I searched using my model (ie GT-i9100) I got a list of downloads to choose from for different regions. Now I'm based in London UK and the phone is unlocked but was with the Three.co.uk network provider (I'm not sure if this information is relevant but I thought I'd mention it just in case). Anyway I've attached a screen shot of a part of the list that comes up but its not the compete list.
Please note I found another link describing how to flash back to stock and it mentions I need a file called "I9100XWLSW_I9100XXMS2_I9100XEULS5_HOME.tar.md5".
Anyway could you please help me with choosing which firmware file I need to download?
Thanks
@wulsic Ooops forgot to attach the screenshot in prev reply
@Kieron139 in the first one you had to go to firnware, scroll down then enter device.
You dont need the exact android stock version from xwlsw just find a stock one from the 2 sites I provided and then download and flash it. I am trying to find and copy one for you but my tablet keyboard doesnt show up always, lowramdevice.
I see you tagged me again before I could finis typing my message xd.
I suggest to use xwms3 since its the latest stock version and should also work fine with your phone in UK.

Thank you so much for you help and for your patience!
I now have a working phone again
Best regards
Kieron
@Kieron139 Nice now if you have that problem again you know now how to fix it.
Also an tip for if you start flashing custom roms like cyanogenmod, recovery and kernel are builtin one boot.img so if you flash an recovery for stock but you have cyanogenmod then the rom will not boot anymore. (Cyanogenmod and other custom roms have recovery also builtin their rom.)
If your boot.img is corrupted and recovery/rom doesnt boot anymore then I suggest to flash an recovery with odin instead of reflashing the whole stockrom.
@wulsic ... Thanks for the tip!
Btw I'm still a bit new to this site but how do I "thank" someone for their help?... some sites have a button next to the replies which you can click to say if the reply was helpful, couldn't see anything like that here?
A couple of other quick questions. I'm very happy with my Samsung Galaxy SII but it is frustrating that it no longer receives any software upgrades/improvements. So which custom rom would you recommend? ie is cyanogenmod the best one?... also once a custom rom is installed can the phone still be rooted?
Cheers
K
@wulsic Ignore the "how to thank someone" question in my last message... I wasn't logged in so couldn't see the thanks button!! lol
@wulsic
There's a bunch of custom ROMS mentioned in the link below which will update my phone to android 4.4.4. What do you think of the ROMs and which would you recommend?

Hey
I deleted my operation system on my s6 edge.... And i trying to use Samsung Swtich to fix it but i cant find my serial number. any help pleas???
It's hard to say what number you need. Your best bet is also the easiest: have a look at the stickers on the box it came in.
You can get the S/N by holding the power, home, and volume down buttons until the warning screen appears. Then press the home button to see the bar code screen. Hope this helps.
My serial number was on a sticker on the back of the phone when it was bought.

The serial number is on the back of the handset. Underneath the CE logo (and the other symbols/numbers) you'll see, in TINY and hard to see writing, that the S/E is there. UNLESS you've changed the rear glass.

The problem for me is I rooted and after my first reboot I got the FRP lock screen in a boot loop. I can enter download but flashing from Odin fails due to the frp lock. I can reset from bootloader but still no joy. The only post I have found that looks promising is the one that says to use Smart Switch Emergency Recovery but none of the numbers work for the SN. I have tried every one on the box, and the one on the back of the phone. No luck. I can't boot the phone so I can't see from the software either. The one that shows up on the barcode (vol down + home+ pwr then home) is the same as the one on the back of the phone. Any help greatly appreciated.

I flashed a later stock version onto the phone to recover. Next I ran the rooted version I wanted, then ran the frx fix. I reset and ran it again. Be sure not to install the OTA update for security or it will give the error again. Also, reboot a few times before you start reinstalling apps to make sure it doesn't error out. I am pretty sure the OTA update is the culprit. Good luck

The needed serial number for these type of Sammy phones is not on the phone somewhere like the Smart Switch software says! It's actually inside the box on a sticker with a barcode on it only with IEM numbers and model number.
After my above post I found this and the serial no. worked inside Smart Switch to do and initialise , dl latest stock rom and install.
Unfortunately as of mid 2016 even having the serial number is now being rejected ... yes I am in trouble again with indian curry muncher custom rom and can't load back a stock rom via smart switch or odin!

Hey man did you find a solution... I am in the same boat now... correct serial number (previously used in Smart Switch successfully) now being rejected by Samesungs servers!

Yours is an S6?. Then should be SM-G9208. N9208 is Note 5. N is reserved for Note Series.
Sent from my SM-G925F

Yes my phone is a N9208 Note 5 how is that relevant?
I think the problem is that I have a custom rom now Dr Ketan's M12 and this rom makes the phone software say is a N920S and maybe the Sammy server rejects my serial number and model of SM-N9208 because the phone currently says it's a SM-N920S
Maybe this is not this reason but it's all I can think of and currently have no way of going back to a stock rom since Odin never gets past 0.05% progress bar on a rom flash on this phone! (though I can flash recovery and root fine in Odin... ie it's communicating
