[Q] Internal SD card problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello people!
I'm glad that i joined this great forum. I have some problems with my SGS2 (i9100). I've researched about this problem for weeks but couldnt get any answer so i feel this situation is appopriate to open a new thread. Let me describe my problem.
I'm running JellyBAM ROM in my i9100. I am not using any external SD card cause i find my internal storage quite enough. Everytime i put or download something to my internal storage (like mp3, picture) that file gets broken. For example i cant download images from WhatsApp because it says the download cannot be completed in my language. If i manage to download one, it gets "black" in few minutes i can only see it for a while. If i get a mp3 by download or bluetooth i can play it first but after 10 mins it cant be opened. Today i tried to backup my all applications using Titanium Backup, root folder of my internal sdcard or any folder in my sdcard, it says this folder is not writable. I tried to set chmod 777 but it doesnt work.
I really need an info about this situation cause i cannot do anything with my phone. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you very much!

You mean you've used a ROM Wipe/Nuke script, and then flashed a stock firmware?

Only apps those have SU permission are:
Xposed Installer, Performance Control, Android Tweaker, Titanium Backup
(Xposed Installer and android tweaker didnt exist in first jellybam version (that I've used long time without problem then i suddenly had this problem with) and i still had those problem)

How did things go wrong suddenly? That means its a ROM issue. Clean flash jellybam to solve it. or use another ROM.

Worth a try. Simply remounts Sd ext and Int and emmc on boot. Fixs permission

My friend has an s2 and no matter what kernel or version he tries the same problem results.
Done all the correct procedures for ROM gapps and kernel flashes, tried reboots and re flashes but the black screen appears after the kernel boot picture.

If you are on CM 10.1 , which is android 4.2.2 , siyah kernel dosent support it. Try dormanix or the CM kernel.

Dead Wifi on i9100

Sup guys.
I need some help.
I'm a Cyanogenmod user for a long time, been using 4.2.2 nightlies for some time already without any problems.
But after flashing XXMS2 modem from this topic, my WIFI went DEAD.
Flashed it normaly from CWM.
After the problem i tryed about everything, including flashing original rom from samsung via Odin, tryed my older modem (LQ6), nothing seems to get WIFI to work again.
Now im back to 4.2.2 CM 10.1 Nightlies but still have the problem.
WIFI is greyed out on the settings menu, completely dead.
3G connection and calls work fine.
Any help would be welcome. Thanks.
Maybe u could try running a ROM wipe/nuke script and flash CM again? Or try a different kernel...

AW: Dead Wifi on i9100
Which Kernel are you using? If you are using dorimanx, you must tap the toggle 3 times to get wifi working. Works for me at least^^

I believe most of the methods here on XDA are safe, as long as u read the instructions carefully.
Search for 'corrupted efs' or 'recover imei' threads, and you will find what you are looking for.
I don't know how u can mess up anymore than this, but if u are so concerned, take a backup before u try anything.

Ktool or gs2 repair. Or copy and paste wifi from bkup folder to currupted one. Make sure your imei is bked up before anything! Or nandroid restore should easy restore your wifi

[Q] CM10 installed, can't see storage.

Hey guys,
I rooted my Galaxy S2 and installed the latest CM10 nightly build on it. It works fine, except that I can't acces the internal storage anymore, which also means that I can't use my camera anymore, can't download any photo's from Whatsapp, etc.
I've tried several kernels and I read somewhere that it had something to do with ClockworkMod partitioning the drive. Anyone can help me out?
Can you mount it?

[SOLVED] [HELP] No Mobile Data in SGS2

Hello folks, this is my first post Hope to have a solution for my M250S converted to Galaxy S2 which I'm having a problem with.
I'll get to the point straight.
The problem that I'm with S2 is that I'm not able to use mobile data. Even though I've enabled mobile data from settings, No mobile data icon is shown in status bar. I've set up APN settings correctly as well. Did try with different network SIM with correct APN settings. But no luck. I'm talking about either EDGE, HSPA or 3G icon in the status bar (like in attachment below).
But internet via WiFi works fine. Tried flashing a new stock ROM, custom ROM, wiping out cache, factory resetting and turning on "WCDMA only" as well :crying:
Could this be a hardware fault? Or firmware issue (like csc or modem)?
Note : On the first day I purchased the phone, mobile data worked (and it was already converted to i9100). But backside of the phone near camera got overheated. Then I turned mobile data off and switched to wifi. Afterwards I can't remember that I could use mobile data.

Thanks for the reply. I searched that thread. Someone had mentioned to flash the modem via CWM. So I did flash the correct modem after downloading from here.

So you can make calls and no data. Just try a restore of your efs. Its a very bad file that can be curupted so easy. Most will have no call but data. See were im coming from on this. Worth a try.

[Q] Phone won't boot after flashing kernel

I have the supernexus 2 rom and i'm trying to flash dorimanx kernel.
After flashing the kernel and after i get the dorimanx logo the screen would turn black and it won't boot.
i tried the same with different versions of dorimanx kernel and also siyah kernel but they also do not work.
What does the people in the supernexus thread say?
Stick with the kernel the dev posted for the ROM.

Can you get into recovery? If so, mount your sd card and load another ROM, flash it, don't forget to factory reset, wipe cache, dalvic. Good luck
I did go back to cyanogenmod kernel which is the main kernel for this rom by using a backup.
I still can't use dorimanx kernel.
I need it for the battery life optimizations.
If it won't work i might go to CM rom or aokp, but i don't need all of the customizations they offer.
I know this sounds dumb, but have u tried wiping cache, dalvik and fix permissions after flashing Dori?
