problem after changing shw-m250s to i9100 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello,
My friend has galaxy s2 korean version shw-250s 2.3.5 phone working perfectly.
He asked me if I can upgrade to higher android version, so I said I'll try.
After reading different articles and lessons,
I switched it from 2.3.5 shw-m250s to i9100 4.0.3
problem is it works in CLARO carrier, but does't work on another carriers.
I tried using different roms / 4.0.4 / 4.1.2 / and even tried CM10.1 RC version and still doesn't work on other carrier (which he was using before)
so far I've tried
- I9100UHLPE_I9100UHLPE_I9100UUBLPE_HOME.tar
- I9100XWLSW_I9100XXMS2_I9100XEULS5_HOME.tar
- I9100JHLPC_I9100PTRLPD_I9100JHLPC_HOME.tar
and still having same problem.
is there any way to fix it?
Thanks

i am stuck on step 6
1.Put the file on your External SD!
2.Reboot into Recovery.
3.In recovery,select "Install update from external storage",and search the downloaded file,and install it.
4.Reboot
since this one has no external sd, last time i rooted wth adb sideload xxx.zip
and now i only see these options
reboot time now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
test redbend fota[FS]
if i click aplply update from external storage
it says E:failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory_)
at apply aupdate frrom cache has
../
lost+found/
recovery/
i feel like i am lost...;;;

lol -_-
funny thing is....
i can get 3g...
but neither text nor phone isn't working...

Before we go any further.....you are stock ICS ? using the 3.0.8 stock ICS kernel ?
We should try something else before the downgrade....as you "technically" have the wrong baseband version for TMO...
We need to get you rooted again, and flash up a new radio....first...to test network...
now I know the blaze radio got you stuck, but believe it or not...you need it to run the ATT note, on the TMO network...
Are you familiar with the ICS root process ?
It's too easy...simply push CWM .tar file to the device via Odin, then we can flash the baseband and test.....
quite possibly eliminating the need for much more work...g

Okay then...
lets back door the phone.....with the GB.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
stand by...g
Edit:
here is the stock.tar for GB....
You must first...(required by me...LOL) wipe data, and factory reset the device....
Then, push this GB .tar image to your phone via Odin...
Just to clarify: you do this at your own risk....as this image will force restore the device to a stock ATT I717 GB rom.....
let me know when you are done with the flash...then we do step 2....g
Edit: 2....it is wise to format the emmc partition prior to using this method, to clean the ICS files from the device...this is done in CWM....it's not required...but helps...IMHO

ok, how do you wipe data and factory reset without root.. is it factory data reset? and how to format emmc?
Just factory reset....if you dont have root,,,you cant format the emmc...
It'll do....
we'll full wipe after you get GB flashed....g
Okay...once you get GB pushed over...
then you need the CWM recovery....
Push it after you push the GB rom. but remember...you must allow the device to reboot after each flash, and then return to download mode again..
It's slow...but it's required....
After you get CWM pushed.....and booted, then we will go into CWM and do some house keeping on the EMMC....
followed by this:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/0zahxvtc/033112.html?
That is the radio image we are going to flash in CWM...and if we get lucky, It's gonna fix this mess for you....
I'll wait here....tap, tap, tap, tap.......LOL....g
ok flashed it..
android version: 2.3.6
bb version: i717uclf6
kernel version:2.6.35.11
build #: gingerbread.ucla1
---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------
ok 2.3.6 installed and cwm flashed.. now what lol
Okay......now we need the CWM recovery....
so back into download mode, and Odin push this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526431
It's the top recovery on the first page...just click the "odin" version, and it will download the correct CWM.tar image...then flash that sucker....g
edit: yur fast...LOL
Now, we need to boot into CWM.....
then, wipe data, factory reset.......
then wipe cache, dalvik cache, battery stats....
then...and here is the scary part...
In the advanced menu options, you will find the option to format "EMMC"....do it...then reboot from the CWM screen.....g
After the EMMC wipe and reboot....you are going to flash this radio image in CWM...
Sorry for the reboot, but it was needed to flush the memory, and repopulate the Emmc with only the rom specific data needed to boot....http://www.4shared.com/zip/0zahxvtc/033112.html?
ok im in advanced menu.. there is no format emmc option
reboot recovery
wipe dalvik
wipe battery
report error
key test
show log
partition sd card

Okay...you have a different CWM version...thats okay...lets flash the radio image in CWM, and see if you get service...
this radio is a base TMO image, no frills, but is compatible with your network...and if service is available, you'll get it after the flash and reboot...

problem with signal, mobile network, APN

Hi i have problem with my mobile network. I don´t have any signal i have Jelly Bean 4.1.1 CM 10 ROM on my HTC Amaze... i had same problem before with my stock rom... i tried to set APN but it is empty i tried to reset to deafault but its empty i tried to download APN manager but its not working. In APNmanager - APN list there is no APNs... i tried to put manually but it says Problem while creating apn... i really dont know if it is in APN but i think that yes it is ... all i need is my signal i dont have signal i cant call :crying: please help
i have the same problem i have tried multiple roms and even gone back to stock but this weekend i will try to unroot and reset the counter but i didnt have the problem till i flashed cm10 also
There is only one fully functional custom ROM for Amaze 4G..
This http://goo.im/devs/nrgz28/Amaze/
Make sure you complete all these three in 4EXT recovery before flashing:
1. wipe | format >> wipe data / factory reset
2. wipe | format >> format system
3. wipe | format >> wipe cash + dalvik
P.S. Either kernel would be fine, however if you want to go with faux then download the v26 prior to flashing and put it on SD along with ROM for flashing it straightway after the ROM..
P.P.S. You might want this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tweakker

Now it says no sim card detected in tweakker it says :
" Your Sim card cannot be used.
Please make sure your SIM card is
inserted and you are in an area with
GSM signal and then restart the process.
You cannot use the app while in
Airplane mode. "
APN is still empty, i set to default... nothing change still empty
Make sure your handheld is T-Mobile branded, otherwise you flashed the firmware package whilst moving from GB before flashing the Android 4.x.x ROM..

[Q] Custom Rom Problems?

Hello all
I have searched all over but have not found any similar problems.
I rooted my phone and installed CWM and would like to install a custom rom that exists for Gingerbread 2.3.6 (I flashed back to stock OS), I have found the rom that I seem to like a lot (Atomic rom) however when I put the .zip file into my external sd and use rom manager to install the rom it turns off, then the phone boots back up... Any ideas about what is happening? Maybe I do not have everything rom manager needs?
I am definitely not ready to flash the new rom using odin, unless you put the .zip file into PDA section and hit "Start" when the phone is in download mode... from the forums I read it is not as easy as installing the stock OS
Thanks in advance!

you leave so many questions unanswered here. you have provided some information here, but not the vital info and the last part is very confusing.
im sorry, I know you are new here, but you lead me to ask some very generic questions....................
are you in the right forum for the right phone? this is for the Note1
I only ask this because I cant even find any GB ROMS for this phone. the Note 1 has been updated to official JB. I would and I am sure you would hate to flash wrong files to wrong phone and wind up with a BRICK.
I am not trying to make it sound as if you don't even know what phone you have, but you would not be the first to flash wrong and kill your phone.
may I suggest you read up in the "Super Everything Thread", which is in the General Forum. you will find exactly that, EVERYTHING, there. Odin is no big deal and super easy to use. also most don't even use CWM or ROM MANAGER anymore. TWRP is now the RECOVERY of choice and much more user friendly.
there are also many YOUTUBE tutorals that can walk you through. but first, lets make sure you are in the right place.
your phone is a ???????? NOTE 1
you carrier is ?????? att, tmo, ver, sprint
it is presently running ??????? GB, ICS, JB
good luck and let us know if we help
Saurom!!!!!!! ¡¡¡¡¡¡!!!!!!! I is a custom gb rom for our i717 note

Sorry about that... I have the Samsung Galaxy Note i717 for AT&T and I am running Gingerbread 2.3.6
I thought that if a rom could run on GB it could run on any phone that has GB but your response has lead me to know that it also depends on what phone I'm running, so thanks!
I'll go and double check to see if the rom I tried to install was for the note... I guess I'm lucky I didn't brick my phone when I tried flashing the other 2 rome xD... Gonna count my blessings tonight lol

don't need to apologize to me for anything. the more information the better. not only are there so many phones out there, there are variations of those phones that have gotten people in trouble.
you have the North American version
International version
Korean version
different internals and wont all take same ROM. just be careful my friend.

I am looking into this rom, looks pretty interesting. Flashing the "AT&T fix" though, do I put that on my SD card also?
Update: For some reason I can not install rome
I am not sure what I am doing wrong because I have Rom manager do everything when I put the .zip file on my SD card and the phone restarts like normal, I even tried doing it manually in cwm recovery. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. And this rom I know for sure is meant for GB and the i717.
Any suggestions? Thanks again
You mean it's a gb rom meant for the i717 galaxy note....... I think you may be a little mixed up on what a rom is and what your actually doing...... Explain in detail what exact steps your doing when your flashing the rom so someone can help you.

I appreciate your patience
Step 1: I put the downloaded .zip rom (saurom) into my external sd card in a special folder I named Roms
Step 2: I fire up Rom manager and go to "Install ROM from SD Card"
Step 3: Go to folder containing the Saurom .zip file and select it
Step 4: Make sure "Backup Existing Rom" and "Wipe Data and Cache" are selected
Step 5: Hit "Reboot And Install"
The phone will then turn off and restart like normal, I check but the rom did not install. I honestly have no idea how I'm screwing up lol
Do you have a custom recovery installed....

You have to understand this as well, the ROMS do not install in conjunction or within the current Stock ROM. They replace them. So as stated above you have to make sure you have CWM or TWRP installed and boot directly to the custom recovery. Then wipe your data/system/cache/dalvik and after all of that install the ROM of choice.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525341
The very first thing listed in this topic is how to install Saurom. No where does it say to try and do it through ROM Manager.
Maybe that is where your hiccup is coming from?
No further instructions needed good luck and happy flashing

Alright so I forgot that I had to wipe the data/system / cache / dalvik
But even when I tried that just now and went into installing the .zip file it said that the installation failed, is it because cwm was removed when I wiped the device?
Update your recovery to twrp 2.6

haha, only problem is that the rom hit an error anyways so I'm still lost at what I am doing wrong...
Another question, when I reset all of the settings and stuff before I flash the rom, wouldn't that get rid of titanium back up? then how would I restore my apps and data?
Yes you are right... But first stick your phone in the freezer for 2hrs...then microwave it for 3 mins... It will cause your recovery to reconstruct and see your internal storage enabling developer options to be on... Then hit the rom installer button.

Boot Loop Problems Help please

Hello guys,
I have a problems, ive Flash my Sam-T859 and it seemed to work fine for almost a month but a few hours ago i was playing a Game (Contract Killer 2) and it just crashed and started doing the boot loop thing.
Ive Been on google all day non stop following instructions that lead to dead ends.
Ive used Odin3_v1.85 and did the "PDA" thing and it passed but went right back into the boot loop.
i read somewhere that a guy had the same problem i did but somehow figured it out. He wasnt sure how he fixed it but he said he thought it was because he needed a legit .Tar file so if someone could direct me to that would be most appreciated.

if you are rooted....
...boot into recovery and wipe data,cache,dalvik cache ( dalvik is under advanced )...now reboot.
if you are not rooted...
...boot to stock recovery and wipe cache..reboot. If that doesnt work. Then i would go to sammobile .com and find the original firmware that your device came with and i would odin that...if that doesnt work. Then you are going to need a pit.file and use odin but you will repartition the sdcard this time.
google what ive told you here so you have a better understanding of what im saying.....and let me know.
good luck

... if you cant..then go into mounts and mount/format data..if you get really desperate you can format the sdcard from here...,but i would flash a rom first..the one you were running..that way you have an os to boot to..unless you have easy access to odin and a pc...inwhich case id wipe it and odin the original firmware and root all over again ...
keep me posted on the situation

you need to find the original firmware for your device and flash it in the pda slot in odin...let me look for a guide for your device to make sure....
im at work so it might take a minute..

also...did you try to flash a new version of cwm recovery...i see droidbasement has one built specifically for your device....i believe im correct in that you have the t-mobile variant of the 10.1 galaxy tab...could you also tell me if it is a wifi only variant or does it have a sim card...im assuming it has a sim card,being that it is a t-mobile variant...but assumptions in this kind of ( work..lol ) can lead to getting a new coaster..lol

ok...now were cookin..lol
im also assuming it has a seperate kernal and recovery partition....like my p7510 wifi only variant..
if this is correct...i would either use odin to flash a newer recovery or adb to push the recovery zip file to the device..if you push the zip..just flash it..then reboot recovery and try to do your wipes and flash a rom..
this is a long shot...but im baving trouble finding the original firmware tar..if this doesnt work...i would say our next step would be to flash a kernel in recovery or odin..then flash a rom that is compatible with the kernel..i know this sounds like its redundit....but im thinking your recovery or kernel might be clashing..if not seen it before on this device...but i have seen it on other devices..

well buddy...after reading back through your post...i think you flashed something wrong with odin....but since you have odin mode/download mode and recovery still available...
i think we need to flash a recoveryl with odin....go to droidbasement and download that recovery tar...follow the instruction and flash it with odin,making sure only what is said to be checked in odin is checked.
next....use your pc to push a rom to your device...
boot recovery and wipe data...cache...dalvik cache(under advanced) and format system(under advanced)...then flash rom and gapps...reboot...enjoy
let me know if you cant google what you need and ill link you to the recovery....but im rooting and installing a rom on my buddies new note 3 and its crazy new to me....so im busy...but ill keep checking my notifications about every 20 minutes if you post something...

i prefer the rom in my sig...but any rom kasper_h builds is smooth...but he is only really developing omni rom at the moment and probably the future...the ganboro rom is nice...but it lacks some of the customization i like in a rom...that said,omni rom also lacks the customization i like. but remember...the less resources a rom pulls...the smoother it generally is. so really you just need to read the rom threads and see what fits your taste...
fyi...ive rooted my budddies note3 and a recovery...with a rom soon to follow. so ill keep checking back in about every 10 minutes or so...if you need help...we'll get ya back up tonight..

[Q] Failed to install OTA package

I have ROW S226 currently and I am trying to update it S227.
But during the update installation process the Android logo falls flat with Error! and red exclamation work and when the device boots it shows failed to install OTA package.
I tried hard resetting the phone as well cleared eMMC as mentioned somewhere but didn't work out.
Did Factory reset as well but still the same error.
Please Help me out

Hi. Did you rooted your phone and removed some apps from system ? Or did you modified something from your rom ? Because if you did so the updates will not work !

No I haven't rooted my phone. I Just ran into rocvery mode once to hard reset the phone.
And now when I press power+vol up it does not enter recovery mode it keeps on rebooting
And power+vol down says have been in meta....

I have to ask you something: what rom do you have now? What rom did you have ? Did you flash Jelly Bean rom over KitKat?
If you flashed custom rom made for Jelly Bean (4.2.2) over KitKat(4.4.2), that is why your phone does not seen your SD Card.
Example: You have S220, S222, S224, S226 and you flash over it MIUI you have this kind problems!
To repair you must reflash your stock rom again !
Tell me if i am right and i will shou you how to repair your phone !

No. I haven't flashed or rooted my phone. I just updated to Kitkat officially via the OTA update couple of months back. Infact I don't know how to flash or root phones. I currently have ROW S226. The SD card was detected after update to Kitkat(4.4.2) and suddenly one day some error popped up and SD card refrained from being detected.
