Guys, this is a question of the S2 i-9100 of my girlfriend.
Her S2 constantly turns itself off, changes the hours alone and received messages appear in the popup (go sms) but going to the inbox are no longer there ....
I flashed an alternative rom, (Omega v.23) recently hoping to solve, but still the same ....
Does anyone know how I can fix this???

Help me my friend in this question....
With the problems that I reported, what I have to do???
The installation shows 4 different ways to do... With my problems, what I have to flash???
You wanna flash the stock ROM option.
Now....looking at this closely I'm concerned about that "changes the time by itself" thing. Ask her if the device has been in touch with any kind of liquid (coffee, water, drink, etc).

I bought the S2 used.
Came with ICS 4.0.3.
Recently I flashed Omega Rom, why I need to follow the installation of Stock Rom? Because Omega is Sammy based?
So, in your opinion, I need to follow this:
"If you are installing a new STOCK ROM and want to do a Nuke/Wipe then:
1. Reboot into CWM Recovery
2. Install zip from SD card>Run GS2ROMWipe or GS2ROMNuke
3. Reboot into Download mode
4. Install your stock ROM via Odin
5. Re-root your device"
???
You're gonna flash a stock ROM after you wipe. Stock ROMs are great to see if an issue persists because, if it does, you need to start thinking about a hardware issue.
Did you ask her about the water/whatever?

Yes, and she told me that never came into contact with water or liquids.
So, summarizing and concluding, after doing the "[CWM UTIL] GS2ROMNuke/Wipe/Reset/Clean Scripts," I have flashing for example the official 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and then root?
Lastly, view what happens with the phone, right?
Exactly.

The only kernel that I have to root is the Siyah-v3.2b8.
You advise another or this is ideal?
In a few days i´m gonna try your solution... 4 days have passed and the phone has not given problems... weird...
If it's not giving you crap don't flash anything.
You could also flash stock and see how it goes.
Give it 2 weeks.

Use the return to stock with root one click method linked above.
Then install mobile odin and flash a clockwork mod enabled kernel like entropy's daily driver or siyah, make sure you download the gingerbread version.
Now that you have cwm you can install any cwm flashable ROM (which most are).
Make sure you read all stickies and search first before asking. Enjoy!

Hello Friends,
I am in desperate need of your help.
I am a moderate user and I know how to stuffs about Rooting and flashing custom ROMs.
Today I tried to flash CM9 stable ROM for International Galaxy S2 I9100. I did it using temporary CWM.zip file and everything went just fine till the installation of ROM. But when I clicked Wipe Data, suddenly phone went off and now it doesn't start.
I tried everything, tried to enter into Download mode and Recovery mode but all was in vain.
Please help me what should I do now? And is my phone ever going to come back to life?

Do you know what kernal you had at the time, for the phone to go off during a wipe sounds like the brick bug but I didn't think it was present in LPT. Can other members clarify please. Does your phone charge when plugged into charger?

I'm sorry but that's your fault.
It's being said 1 million times already, that wiping your data in CWM while running stock 4.0.4 ROM with a stock kernel will BRICK your phone.
Your inability to read might have left your phone bricked.
Read through the forum next time, ask questions if you don't understand anything and I can assure you will be luckier next time.

Yes there are many threads in this section and on xda portal warning you about the brick bug...
Almost all 4.0.4 have a brick bug... moreover it is caused when we do a data wipe. I believe you have bricked your device... sorry for that

that's why I blamed you for this. You did not read or ask before wiping but was only guessing.
This is a sticky thread under General section warning everyone about the buck bug. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
I and many others have also warned people about this bug but the unfortunate thing is that most of ask these kind of questions after the problem has occurred.

As far as I know all 4.0.4 ROMS have MMC_CAP_ERASE enabled, so in case of having bad chip and using wipe under temporary CWM floating around you will brick your phone. Although seems the problem is only in touch version of CWM. More detailed information can be found in 1st guide in my signature where Phil was talking with Entropy512.

Sorry dude
You might have to send your phone to device center for repairs but if you are out of warranty or wants to try to Fix things yourself, then the advise/instructions below is for you:
-boot your phone with usb jig, if you can get to download mode, then proceed to next step

Hi guys,
Thanks for all your replies.
I already figured it out that I have bricked my phone. But I was under impression that Data wipe with CM9 ROMs is not dangerous. At the time of failure I had already installed CM9.
Guess now I'll have to send the phone to Service center.
One thing I want to ask, "If the phone is hard bricked, is there any chance of them knowing that I had installed a custom ROM?"
If they can't then it might help me since my phone is still under 1 year manufacturer warranty.
Please reply and Thank you for your replies. The latest adventure of mine turned out to be painful one!!

I don't think so. since you can't boot into either recovery or download mode.
Even if you have an increased binary counter, it will be cleared once your device is forced with a usb jig to boot into download mode.

Then USB Jig is my last hope and if that doesn't work then I have to send the phone to the service center.
So if you can't enter into download or recovery mode there is no way to find out if i have used any custom ROM or rooted the phone?
Correct me if I'm wrong.

How do you know what you flashed didn't have bootloaders? So your saying with the phone powered off holding volume + volume - keys, with the USB cable plugged in to your computer and then inserting the mini USB into the phone wont put you in to DL mode? I checked the button config for the i897 and that is it and on the i777 too....The USB jig should force the phone in to download mode then you can flash back to stock!

what about usb jig? will it work? or do i have to do a jtag hard unbrick??
If there is no sign of life it is probably hard bricked.
If there is any sign of life, then there might be some hope.
If you can get your hands on a jig, it would be worth a try to see if it will come to life.

Most likely if you're on stock 4.0.4.
i just test my device and its say that i have insane chip but memory test PASS without problem. Does its mean that my chip is from "damage line" but its not damage
If I have full stock firmware and kernel, and if I update phone via Kies only, Is there still brick bug possibility if I make factory reset?
Because this is scary and sick if this scenario is possible

4.0.3. is completely safe.

hi,
I was about to root my s3 using the toolkit, i've been reading guides and stuff. I'm not new to rooting but do it just in case so that i don't take any wrong steps.
I've come across many threads where people have lost their imei after flashing roms. most of those threads were on us based carrier s3.
so just wanted to ask if international s3 - uk version is also prone to deleting its imei.. haha because i think i will avoid rooting if it is.
Battery life for me has been an issue since the start. I'm a heavy user so maybe rooting and installing another kernel, undervolting etc would give me few hours etc.
thanks :laugh:

Yes, just make sure you take an EFS backup. Losing IMEI is the least of the GT-i9300's problems
Philz recovery does EFS backups. I recommend you use this recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002953
great thanks for you reply... i will follow the guide!

The wear levelling eMMC catastrophic failure bug in 0xf1 eMMC firmware, or SDS if you will.

I knew you were going to say that
And i agree
And it get me angry as hell since i have it ...
And sometimes i feel like ... "gonna try cm10.1" and then i remember that my phone can die at any time and i have to be on stock ... even they say they patched the bootloader and kernel with update 7 to fix the issue ... i dont feel safe even so ...

you're just as safe on stock as on CM. If there's any fix in the stock kernel - it's included in all custom kernels too

Yes but service center will see the red triangle since i have the new bootloader if he stucks on bootloop
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
wait, wait, let me get this straight - you're a recognized contributor on xda but you're running a fully stock non-rooted phone without a custom recovery? really?
all the evidence points to the fact that the fix is in the kernel, not the bootloader, so you can downgrade the bootloader with a simple cwm flash

but you just said you're on Siyah. But you don't use CM because of SDS? either I misunderstood you or this makes no sense

No theres no misunderstooding ... i think its better ... if he has to die. To die in stock but that is just for know the phone is new and im 21 and it came out of my pocket so i take really good care of it ... in some time ... cm and perhaps ill make him a rom :b

well FYI, there's no point in that. as long as you're using Siyah, CM or Stock don't have any effect on SDS. like, at all
He's right - no point.
There is a fix in the bootloader too, but this only affects your use of download mode. If you have a fixed kernel and recovery, you should be fine.
I keep an ALF6 bootloader installed to keep warranty in any OTHER situation so I have 0 flash counter (and I just avoid writing NAND from download mode).
if I get SDS, either I get FULL SDS (phone completely dead) or I get HALF SDS, when status shows as custom, even if unrooted. Having CM is no more a lose than stock.
I already had my Mobo replaced last November though. Still go 0xf1
