I have some queries. I live in Pakistan and my current firmware is of UK/Ireland. My phone is unbranded so will XWLS8 work on my network? Do I need to make a backup of my efs folder before flashing XWLS8? Also I have reset my counter to zero and I see no triangle when my phone boots up, so will flashing via PC Odin increase the counter? Or I should do it using Mobile Odin Pro? Please guide!
Thanks in advance!

Hello Guys,
my s2 GT-19100 is rooted with original 4.1.2 and CRW. Everything works fine...then I found an update from SUSuperUser App in PlayStore to upgrade from 0.99 to 1.25. After I downloaded and installed this update, su asks me to install in NORMAL or CRW mode...so I choose CRW.
Phone rebooted but no nothing happens...I tried everything VOL-UP+Power+Main-Button...no reaction...put battery out and in...no reaction :
Please help me...what do I have to do now?
Why update in Cwm mide when you can update in android.
Pull out battery 5 min
Then try to charge for a while.
Then try again

After I opened the app, it first asks me to update binaries...i clicked YES. After that there comes another install/update procedure...not the update procedure from play store...to install SU and there were 2 options (NORMAL OR CWM)...I remembered I uses CWM while rooting my phone so I took that option...and SU reboots my phone and now nothing works...
Ok I will try
Some kind of a brick... try that if doesnt work you need an USB jig to force it to download mode

I dont think you listening carefully.
You said that you updated your SUPERSU and choose for some reason CWM and you bricked it.
Then you said you can use Downloadmode. Fine its not hardbrick.
Then you said youre on stock JB 4.1.2 and rooted with annother kernel. OK
Now you flashed siyah and then you get into Recovery? Why do you do that.
Why dont you just restart the phone and it will boot into android. Why WIPE?
These options come automatically after flashing siyah and reboot by odin. Now my phone loads again...yeeeeeeah it works
Do I have to remove/uninstall the old jeboo kernel? And if yes, HOW ?
Thank you so much

No you dont need to uninstall. You kernel is removed automaticly by kernel you just flashed. And in that case Siyah or wich one you choose.
Glad that it works
What is the cm10.1 stuff on the same post on siyah homepage? Do I need this also ?

NO. CM10 is Custom Rom version. Its compatible with Siyah. So CM10 is not a kernel its a ROM
Siyah , Dorimanx and Philz is KERNELS you just flashed to get root acess and Clockworkmod recovery to flash custom ROMS
But now you have yellow triangle when you start you S2 dont you?
Remove it with app called Triangle Away.
Yes I have this triangel...but is this bad or just a picture?

No not bad. It just showing you that phone is flashed with something CUSTOM like CUSTOM ROM or Custom Kernel.
Do you have MSN or Something. I can give you Triangle Away app and you can reset the counter

the method above will require downloading stock

if u r worried about losing data
u can use titanium backup to restore data from the cwm backup
after flashing stock
flash cwm 6.x to reduce future problems

You can go back to MJ4 modem if you want to.

To go back you have to odin flash mJ4 modem.

would it really be that simple? i mean would it work with oc5 bootloader? not exactly sure how that works...and can you really just flash it do you have a link mate?
i get the whole odin thing but was told by me mate to never flash a downgrade as it would brick my n3.
and can someone help me to delete this thread?
Ive done it numerous times. I recently pit a Sprint Note 3 on Straight Talk. Due to Sprint deciding to lock the sim card at a certain point you can only do that with an older modem, namely mj4 or older. Mi3 to be specific. So yeah you can do it.

Another way is to find the stock MJ4 ROM and just flash it back to to MJ4 then root afterwards again.

So here's the story..
I recently decided to root my Galaxy s6 Edge 6.0.1. The root worked fine.
However, I found out that it caused the default phone app to not work properly. I could call and receive calls, but neither of us could hear each other.
I downloaded this one app that can modify system apps. I went to the phone app, backed it up, deleted, and tried to re install. However.. It failed me. It would not let me use the backup I had created, and just let me to the google play store.
After trying so many things to fix it, I ended up just removing the root, and factory reset my phone. Now I have a new problem. It wont even let me call anyone. It tells me "Unfortunately com.android.phone has stopped working". Now I tested it to see if it was the actual phone. I downloaded WhatsApp and tried calling from there. It worked fine, and I could hear the other person and they could hear me. Which lead me to believe that it was a problem with the systems phone.
Is there anyway to get that back? What can I do? Please help, I literally just voided my warranty 24 hours ago and now it's about to bite me in the ass....
There are only 2 ways you are going to get it back

Well Currently installing the stock firmware. Have a bit of time before that's downloaded, But I found this: (Except with my model instead of OP's) http://thedroidguy.com/2015/08/flas...sung-galaxy-s6-to-fix-rebooting-issue-1048633
Is this what you're talking about?
You just need sammobile to get your firmware

I have searched everywhere for the stock ROM for the Alcatel Ideal 4060A. I have even contacted Alcatel. Does anybody have any information or a link as to where I can find the stock ROM, or can anyone point me in the direction of how to recover this device from a soft brick? Would the firmware from another Alcatel model with similar hardware potentially work? Thanks in advance for any and all information.
