hi.
first of all sorry if i am not posting it in the right section. kindly redirect me in that case.
the issue i am having is explained afterwards what i have done..
a. i have samsung galaxy s2 i900
b. i rooted it.. a triangle comes in start (mentioning it because may b its significant)
c. i installed multiple custom roms...
problem 1 is.. with all those roms.. i have trouble receiving messages. like after certain random no.
previously i could get threads upto thousands of sms/thread on stock rom.
now if one thread reaches near abt 200.. or multiple making a total around 200...
i cannot receive further or send further msgs unless i reboot the phone and delete some threads/msgs or clear the cache and delete some threads/msgs
i was using a software called go sms pro.. i unistalled it.. used stock built in software.. same result.
my internal memory partitions are like 1.8 gb and free 1.2gb and 11 gb and free like 7 gb
problem 2 if i cant get that problem solved i want to use a stock rom back which i previously had. would i need to unroot and install stock? if yes how?
and which stock rom for my region Pakistan.
and what requirements are needed?
Go to message settings and change there mate. Custom set a limit you can change it though :thumbup:

i think i failed to convey what i wanted. I can set a custom limit.. but that doesnt work even then. like if i set a custom limit of 100/thread.
and there are two threads of 100 sms i cant receive more/send more
like as if there is a total memory of 200 to 250 sms.
which on the other hand in default stock rom was more than 5,000
If its not working reflash Rom or update it to newer version if no nightlys. What Rom are you on?

i cant fix that problem...been reflashing and reflashing...
can it be because of some rooting error? y does this happen?
post me a link to the rom u r saying that is not having this issue..if u can.
ICS, Jelly bean.. anyversion above 4 would b enough
if i unroot & install pure stock.. would that solve the issue?
No not rooting prob. If you have reflashed and changed Tex limit and delete old texs then I'm not to sure what the problem is. Ask on neat thread mate:thumbup:
One thing i found on neat forum
it has kernel
XWLSW-5.06.1-PhilZ
mine is 3.0.31-1211311..... siyah dual.
can this b an issue? for other roms as well?
i cannot post on that neatforum

and also tell me how to unroot n stock it. because i believe it will solve the issue!!
To unroot flash with odin. a stock rom or with mobile odin. Also to flash philz is very easy. Get philz lsw on int sd card go to recovery and find file and flash after its done reboot. That's it.

Hi guys
I tried to root my cousins sgs2, i tried the odin method where you flash the cf-root kernel which is the same as the one which your phone is already running, but it keeps failing :S hes on ics through kies, his kernel version is [email protected] 151 #3. model number is GT-I9100 and the android version is 4.0.3.
like i said this did not work, its the official Tmobile UK ICS update i think, and it kept failing. i then tried the root method without kernel it flashed CWM but it kept resetting every time i tried to choose 'flash zip from internal sd card' :S
i would say im pretty experiened with android rooting, ive owned a t mobile pulse, SGS1, and ive also flashed my friends HTC DesireHD all successfully
Anyone have any suggestions? or could i downgrade his firmware back to gingerbread then root that way?
thanks
When you say resetting, what does that mean.
Because when you get that touch cwm, you have to flash the busy box installer, and after that you are rooted. But you don't have cwm left for further use.

Hi thanks for the responses guys. To clarify a little bit o attempted the cf kernel method via odin bit it kept failing even.with both varieties of the correct kernel. I then attempted to do the recovery mode root whereby i flashed CWM which worked but when i scrolled down to flash a zip sd the power button would not select the.option. And every 3-5 seconds the CWM would return back to the start screen of CWM recovery in a loop every 3-5 seconds, so i was unable to flash superuser and busybox
The final option i believe is to try superoneclick but apparently it does not work for ics :/

i would say im pretty experiened with android rooting!
The way you're trying to root your cousins phone using CWM & SU.zip is just fine, "BUT" the reason your power button isn't selecting your zip files from your sd -card & keeps resettling CWM, is because that particular temporary CWM recovery is "TOUCH" & not BUTTON control! Try using your finger on the screen to select stuff rather than the volume & power bottons! & lastly, don't forget to put your CWM.zip & SU.zip files on an External SD-CARD & not your internal, otherwise CWM won't see them on your internal & it won't work

Once you're rooted you can install mobile odin from the market & use that! A lot safer & no yellow triangle or counter usage!

Hi,
I just got my Android and happened to Root it with a firmware containing CWM because I really had no clue as to what it was. Now I would want to be able to remove this icon CWM from my phone. I have tried flashing the kernel to no avail. Please help me with a step by step procedure to remove it since I'm absolutely new to Androids. My S2 runs gingerbread 2.3.6. I did check the web but am so confused with all the options provided.
Thanks in advance.

It is strongly recommended to back up stock ROM before u give try to Custom ROM.
*#1234# - Check your Firmware version before u do Rooting and make a note some where
You can use those information to download your STOCK ROM from many website (google them)

Since you are rooted, use any file explorer with root access and delete the cwm manager.apk.
Second option is use root un-installer and uninstall the cwm manager

in some Firmwares CWM is included in system applications, so cant simply uninstall it, you can use Titanium backup application to uninstall system apps,
But before uninstalling better you learn more about Rooting and the functions of this app and other root apps. This is a very usefull app in the rooted and Clockwork mod installed devices, for rebooting into recovery easily, kernel flashing, backing up of the Rom ect..
you can have informations from below sticky thread as well as from my signature links.

Yes you will need to remove root so flash Sam firmware with mobile Odin and don't root. Now back to stock. :thumbup:

Thanks for replying andrewwright!! (you too "theunderling"!!:angel
I haven't actually installed CWM yet and came here to clear my this doubt.
Why Sam Firmware (if Sam = Samsung) while my device is XOLO q800? Can I take a backup of my my stock firmware in some way because XOLO is not a popular brand and I won't get much support(stock firmware) over internet.
Also, I read somewhere that particular firmware corrosponds to a particular chipset(mine is MT6589), is it true??
I would really appreciate if you can provide a link for reference where I can read further or otherwise some people will keep yelling here "noob......noob"

However, when I load the PDA file I9100ZCLSH_I9100OZHLSH_CHN and start, Odin could not complete the flash. it shows FAIL....

Yes, I have heard of the danger of 4.0.4 and I wonder if my system has been "soft bricked"... Luckily, it's still working on 4.0.4, though failed in flashing new stock firmwire. I just don't know the reason...
Download new Odin 3.07 version.
Are yu flashing right ROM version.
Maybe corrupted files.
Try redownload it. If you downloaded from SamFirmware maybe its bad download.

Do you think the firmwire that I downloaded has a problem ?? yes I downloaded it from samfirmwire, and actually I tired 3 different versions, including older ginger bread , none of them worked ... this problem is driving my a little crazy .

Hello guys,
Thank you soooo much for all your advises ! Without your suggestions, I would not be able to solve this problem.
In the end, I think its the firmware V.S. phone format problem.
I9100OZHLSH_CHN, is the official firmware to chinese S2 users. Mine is actually Canadian i9100 M, but I flashed it with UK version so it shows I9100. I read a thread in chinese, saying that Bootloader is needed, which use .pit to format the partition from eur to chn. Thus, I guess no matter how many times I try, without Bootloader, the flash would be failed. (I did not really try the bootloader, seems to be risky, if anyone in the future needs it, pls follow this link in chinese though.... http://bbs.anzhi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6347421&reltid=6324097&pre_pos=2&ext= ).
I follow this instruction to recover my system to 4.0.3, which I have better control ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1457458
Then I found this "Official Android 4.1.2 ZSLSH Jelly Bean Firmware", which they say it's released in China but can also be install in EU international phones, I succeeded ! This firmware has both english and Chinese language packages. :fingers-crossed:
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/4...icial-android412-zslsh-jellybean-firmware.htm
So overall, ZSLSH works on my phone, but ZHLSH will never I guess.
Thank you all again, and hope this may help others who may encounter this issue in the future !!!!!
I9100 & i9100M has got the same hardware so it should work.

Do you recommend to flash this rom instead of stock rom? But where from download? And how to flash?
Go back to stock first; it will give you a 'clean slate'. Getting your phone working normally/usable should be your only priority/thought at this stage. You can worry about flashing other roms/kernels once you've done that.

Thanks MistahBungle for your help. From where I should download stock rom and how to flash? Further help will be much appreciated.
Search Samfirmware for an unbranded one for your country (or a carrier-specific one if you prefer/if there isn't an unbranded one). Guides/tutorials are stickied in the General section (3rd post from the top from memory).

Thanks a lot MistahBungle and all who supported me...Thanks God I finally reflashed stock ROM which I downloaded from Samfirmware and it is working well.
May I request all those geeks to guide me to root the easiest way. Further I will request you people to tell me the Best ROM which support RTL...Bundle of thanks.
Good man. You're welcome Easy way to root is to flash the Odin version of any custom kernel which works with Android version of the stock rom you're currently running (Siyah & Dorimanx are but two, there are others); read the thread devoted to the particular kernel you want to flash to work out which build you need to use. Once you flash it you'll have a rooted phone with CWM.
'Best rom' threads are not allowed here; once you have CWM installed it's really easy to flash/try a bunch of roms & find one you like, it takes 5 minutes to backup or restore, if you find you don't like a rom you try, it's easy to go back to your previous setup & try another. Generally if you need things that are a 'bit fiddly' to 'just work' without dramas, you're better off sticking with stock. But you can check the threads of various custom roms to see if they support the features you need to use. You could always dual boot if the particular features you want to use only work with stock, yet you like a particular custom rom & want to use it as a daily driver.

Just a notice: don't use the OXA (Open Europe) firmware, there's really no support for it on Samsungs side, and no OTA to 4.3 till now.

You didn't say which stock rom you wanted but this is my own backup of the latest generic 4.3 rom for UK and Europe I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_BTU extract the MD5 file and flash via Odin if you want it.
Don't forget after flashing to boot into recover and wipe cache, dalvik cache and factory reset to clean the custom rom stuff from your phone
Edit 19:00 Link removed as OP solved the problem
