[Q] Why is my device UNROOT? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently I switched back to pacman rom after trying out some of the others roms contained in the development centre. However after performing a full wiped and flash back into PACman rom. Install TB and tries to backup it says my phone is not rooted how come? I tried flashing to other roms like slimbean,revolt and its working fine.

change the kernel (dorminax v8.14 is table for me ), this might be probably the problem

[Q] Galaxy Player Slowdown After encountering a problem after flashing a rom?

Ermm the other day I rooted my sgp 5 us version for the first time and used entropy's kernel and eriyigit's custom rom. Everything went rather smoothly after flashing the rom. But then after reading more in the forums, it seemed to me that chip's rom was swifter. After flashing to chip's rom I wasn't able to connect my sgp to my laptop anymore no matter how hard I tried so i flashed back to eriyigit's but then it started bootlooping so I went back to chip's (But I still couldn't connect to our computer) then finally back to a stock based firmware wherein it still bootlooped. After recovering through certain circumstances I then flashed back to chip's to check whether maybe something happened before hand in eriyigit's rom or something might have conflicted with it that caused it to not be detected by the computer. But it still failed so again it bootlooped after going eriyigit's then recovered it. After finally settling for eriyigit's rom my sgp suddenly had a performance decrease it lagged horridly, way worse than before it was rooted. I even tried installing chainfire 3d and an adrenaline which to no avail still failed. I was wondering what can I do to restore its previous performance. Or should I go back to a stock based firmware. (btw im still using entropy's kernel)

[Q] How can I flash Cyaogenmod without having those crazy radio issues?

I'm sure people were getting pretty tired of hearing about the radio issues when people flashed cyanogenmod (ie, LTE worked, but no SMS, MMS, or voice calls, odin didn't fix, the only solution was to factory restore from WITHIN a TW ROM). After waiting a while for things to calm down, I'm ready to try to install Cyanogenmod again but I am naturally hesitant.
Has this issued resolved itself? I'm running rooted and unlocked MC3 with CWM installed. I heard somewhere that flashing the MJ9 radio BEFORE Cyanogenmod 10.2 / 11 fixed the problem?
I would really appreciate any input or personal experience here!
As far as I know, the issue has not resolved itself. I tried flashing the newest CM 11 a couple of days ago (I think it was the nightly build on the 22nd), and I still had the funky radio issues. However, I tried this, and it fixed all the radio issues with CM 11 (and any other Android 4.4 ROMS - I'm running Slim ROM at the moment)... Here is my post from another thread.
Hey all, I got it working (the data/network connection that is), with a little effort. Here is what I did in sequence...
1) Reflash the ORIGINAL VRALJB image via ODIN. I used the one found here. You want to make sure you get the one that replaces EVERYTHING, i.e., NOT the alternative restore.
2) I set up my phone and used it normally for about four hours. (This may or may not be necessary, I'm not entirely sure. I also rebooted the phone about five times during that time frame.)
3) I unlocked and rooted the phone via the method outlined here. After that was done, I installed CWM 6.0.4.3 via TWRP (which the unlocking process installs).
4) I then installed CM 11 and the respective Google apps. (I first did a backup, then a factory reset, then cache wipe, then dalvik wipe. The next thing I did was install CM 11, then Gapps.)
5) Restart the phone and success!

The reason why I found out that this method would work, is that I tried installing CM 11 on my dad's phone. He has had a TW ROM (Beans build to be exact) since the phone came out. And he has been running the stock VRALJB radio. With that said, I figured I would try flashing the stock ODIN files to restore my phone back to the VRALJB. (I think I was running the MJ9 prior to this) That worked, and the SlimROM has been working perfectly ever since!
[Also, if you wanted to check out SlimROM, you can find a link to it here.]
Still looking for some more feedback from users! Anyone successfully flashed CM 10.2 / CM 11 from MC3 without problems / fixed the problems?

Unable to flash rom?

Hello all...
First of all, I'm not very experienced at flashing roms.. HOWEVER, I've flashed several roms across multiple phones over the years and have yet to brick a phone.. so I am fairly familiar with recoveries, etc... But I've run into a "wall" and don't know what to do.... hopefully someone can shine some light to my issue.
My TMobile S5 is currently running Twisted Lollipop (v7?).. but I want to switch now to a CM based rom. I had PREVIOUSLY used a CM based rom (a nightly) dated back from June before I switched to Twisted. My phone is rooted.. and I am using TWRP recovery. However, NOW if I do a full on wipe... and try to flash a rom (so far only the latest nightlies).. it seems to do some partitioning stuff.. and then stops saying COMPLETE... I never get the typical "install" text you see when installing a rom in recovery.. If when it's finished.. when I click REBOOT.. TWRP asks me if I want to.. and warns NO OS is installed..
I was able to load a backup of a CM 12.1 based build from a June nightly I had.... but I get the same thing if I go thru the CM updater. I honestly haven't tried to flash anything else..
Am I missing or overlooking something.. I'm on the DOB1 firmware.
Thanks

No Cellular on Custom ROM

I had my s2 hard bricked and now i got a new motherboard for it, the thing is that on all stock roms (2.3 and 4.1.2) the phone works perfectly but all the custom roms 4.4 5.0 6.0 the cellular does not work, it gives me no service, tried flashing modem from cwm but no change.
i also tried different recoveries etc but custom rom no service
sometimes in custom rom imei used to be blank but it comes back after reboot, in stock no issues at all
any idea what im doing wrong or is there something up with the new board?
thanks,
Update
I was searching and I read somewhere that installing NeatROM by Sale will help, i downloaded and installed it, the good news is that cellular works and i have full 3G access.
Question: How to proceed further?
i could experiment but the thing is that if i flash a non-working rom (no cellular), i will have to flash stock from odin and start all over again
any ideas?
Update 2
i tried NeatROM and it worked perfectly, then i tried installing slimLP and boom, no service again, this time,my IMEI was blank too, so now i'm flashing stockrom again.
any idea anyone please?

[Xperia P] Phone crashes shortly after successful boot - independent from ROM!?

Hi,
I have quite a serious problem with my phone.
I used stable CM11 as my ROM lately, worked nice, seemed to be ok. Now, if I want to boot my phone, it suddenly crashes as soon as I want to enter unlock code. "Funny" thing is, performing a full backup via TWRP didn't help.
So I decided to wipe everything (even sdcard) and do everything from scratch, including flashing boot.img. After flashing the ROM zip, it's still the same.
After that, I flashed boot.img from AOSP 5.1 Unstable, installed this new, different ROM (which I had successfully tested on my device before) and STILL THE SAME?!
What's going on here? It sounds a bit like defective hardware, but I never experienced a crash when I was in Recovery mode, so that's quite unplausible.
My last idea is to flash stock ftf. Perhaps this will help...
