[Q] Updating from 2.3 to 4.1.2 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

i just hooked my wife's SII up to Kies and am surprised to see a JB update available. anyways, if i press Update, will all the pic's, txt's, call history, contacts, etc... all stay on her phone, or will the Kies update wipe all of that?
a full Kies backup takes a long time...
tx in advance!

[Q] MAPservicesamsung process stopped

On stock ICS with factory reset. This happens randomy a couple of times each day. Never happened on GB.
Same on my friend's phone. Any suggestions?
I had the same issue when I tried sending text messages or opened my inbox. It caused a lag of 10-15 seconds.
It seems to be related with bluetoothmap.apk.
I never use bluetooth, so I wiped the bluetooth appdata and deleted all the bluethoot apps with titanium backup (made a backup first just in case).
This fixed it for me.

Download the package file, Reflash your official rom via odin, not over kies.

I'm not sure if that will work for borchgrevink.
In my case the problem started to occur because I flashed the original rom with Odin.
For me this issue was caused by restoring data using Titanium backup for SMS. To fix you MUST never restore data this way. Instead use SMS backup and restore app.
Better still install go SMS and uninstall stock SMS app using TB for good!

Well this happened to me when upgrading to ICS without reset, and also after a factory reset.
Never happened on GB. Is it an OS bug or rogue app?

It's something to do with changes to the SMS storage database as far as I can tell.

AFAIK, this apk is "useless" and can be freezed.
I may be wrong but no FC on my S2

I don't want to root either and I keep getting the same problem. Anyone who has the this should contact Samsung until they fix it, they should treat us better after we buy their expensive phone. The Chief Exec of Samsung Mobile is at [email protected] they'll fix it is a few people email in.
Just emailed [email protected] let's see if they reply back

try a factory reset in hboot, then reboot.
I'll try that and report back

I have data but not after the initial setup process. Any ideas?

Sorry if this sounds condescending, but is the back cover on the phone?
Edit: Never mind, you said no data, not no signal.
It was a bad SIM card.

No data

Whenever I try installing the twisted liquid ics build, I get no data. I can make calls, text, and connect to wifi. I am using a radio that should work.
Sent from my ThunderBolt using xda app-developers app
Any ideas on how to get data working? I am using the combo radio.
Sent from my ThunderBolt using xda app-developers app
Try the 2.11.605.19 OTA radios.
Go back and reflash the ROM first.
Wipe data 3x, clear cache, and then dalvik.
Flash the ROM and then flash the radio.
You'll be good to go.

First thing I'd do is make sure data is enabled. In settings, under wireless and networks select more, then mobile networks

I wasn't clearing data when I flashed. Followed your instructions and now I have data; thanks!
Is the 2.11.605.19 radio better than the combo?

Glad you got it working. Curious if you're seeing bad data drops on ICS.

Back to stock without wiping or needing a pc.

Hey.
Im currently from home. and i'm fed up with RR. I want to return to stock. But i'm out of reach for my personal pc. I want to do this without wiping and stuff. Atleast. Not losing all my data and apps.
Kind regards

Yeah, it's not happening, dude. You'll need a PC, and you'll need to wipe.
There is always mobile Odin. But then again, you will have to wipe the data.

You can manually update by downloading this: http://sdrv.ms/1bGfkdU (using PC)
this will wipe all data though.
Yeah but I can't cancel out of the firmware update on my screen. Will that be a problem? Sighs I was hoping I wouldn't have to wipe my phone.

you can probably force restart and clear out the RAM by holding the volume up button (or down I don't remember) and the power button. It won't wipe any data and you can connect to PC and backup.
Thanks I just ended up turning off mobile data and wifi before restarting and it worked.
