My SGS2 9100P crashed and I had to flash ROM back with Odin, my data still there.
All fine, the phone was back, then I rooted it and....
The screen does not lock!
No matter what option I select, when the screen is black and I press home button it goes directly to home, skipping also the trace lock!
Long pressing the power button does NOT show the menu where you select vibrate, data... but turns off the phone immediately!!
I think there's some mess in the lock screen configuration files, but I don't know what they are and how to reset them!
Please help!!
Try factory reset

You mean deleting also /data partition?
What a pain... Don't you know of any file that could solve?
First backup each and every thing then delete everything like wipe data/factory reset wipe dalvik cache cache partition and format system and if it still doesn't make any difference I'd buy a new phone

Are you ok now ?
I think you need an optimizing app for your device.
It's not the phone: if I flash the ROM with Odin, replacing all system it works ok.
When I root it, the lock screen stops working!

It looked promising, but I opened that db with the editor I have on the phone and I already have "device_provisioned" set to 1! :crying:

No, I mean I checked the secure table and the row it tries to insert is already there...
I checked the other posts, but don't seem to help.
The problem appears when flashing the rooted kernel, which means a new zImage and some superuser files.
I'm going to try to flash back the original zImage and what happens.
Believe it or not, I've been suggested to check my IMEI: it was wrong (generic), so I restored my /efs directory from an old backup and the problems are solved!!!
Does anybody know how this can be?

Have you tried doing a factory data reset from recovery mode? Couldn't hurt to delete cache partitions as well.

Sorry but I have to ask, are you sure your running a Samsung vibrant ROM? I have heard people talk about having button problems but that's usually when they flash a ROM meant for the samsung i9000. If you are positive your running a Vibrant ROM then look in the thread for your ROM and look for a button fix, usually in the .zip format. If your ROM was ported over from a different phone then there would be a button fix somewhere, if you can't fix it then use this app until we figure out your problem

If you flashed back to stock and it still didn't work, it is a hardware problem. Try (after flashing to stock) take it back to the T-Mobile store.

If you're not rooted you'd better send it to Samsung services, otherwise I think Factory Reset from recovery or flashing a new ROM are the solutions. You're problem is called BOOTLOOP. I faced this problem and solved it with Factory Reset from Recovery

When phone is OFF press at the same time volume up + home + power then when you are in recovery run "wipe data/factory reset" and afterword choose option reboot. Remember that it will clear all your user apps/settings which you installed so far but it will not format your sdcard. Furthermore it will not necessarily help to solve your problem so if this doesn't help reflashing your rom might be necessary.

Hey guys this morning my S2 was working perfectly but after a while my home stopped working . But on further investigation i found out that my home button is working perfect , the only problem is that when i press it nothing happens but when i long press it it shows the recent app . i think that it is clear that home button is working but not doing any action on single press like showing the home screen . Can anyone tell me what can be the reason ?
I would be very thankful to you .

Haven't you heard of mybackup or titanium backup? They can even backup app data if you have root. Otherwise do a nandroid backup and only restore data after factory reset.
Edit: if you don't wanna reset... try wiping dalvik cache and cache and then check it out.

Thank you for your help, I've tried to flash my s4 again but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. As I have overwritten some files with my wife's s3 by copying and pasting so when I do a stop flash all my apps and folders are the same. So do you know where I can get the files so I can overwrite them all again and get my phone working properly because if I hold the power, the centre button and up to go into the main reset I have an error message. Please help as I've only had my s4 3 weeks!!!!!!! Cheers Paul
First boot in to recovery mode and select wipe data/factory reset when done i think also there is a wipe nv partition option available.
When both wipe process finished completely then remove the battery and put it again but don't turn on the device,then start the flashing process and leave it alone to completely finish the flash.

What? There is just a 30 seconds timeout and after that you can retrt the pattern.
But if you don't have a hardware back button it will be clumsier. Power off and power on should do it.

Are you rooted with cwm recovery installed? If so, do a nandroid backup, reset the phone to factory then simply restore apps, data and sms and wifi etc with Nandroid manager.

1) Download the CWM for your phone. Make sure it is the exact one for your phone.
2) Place your phone in Download Mode by holding Power+Vol Up+Home
3) Download Odin (I normally use Odin v 1.85)
4) In the PDA field, load your CWM MD5 (If you don't have an MD5, extract it from the ZIP file)
5) Connect your phone to the PC. If Odin detects it, Odin will display ADDED!
6) Make sure the only box that is checked is Auto Reboot. MAKE SURE YOU DONT HAVE REPARTITION SELECTED!!!
7) Click start.
Reboot into recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik cache. Then:
-Navigate to backup
-Navigate to Backup to External SD (safer that way)
-click start. The backup will take a while and will probably be around 3~6GB
-when that's done, I would advise you to backup your internal SD.
-after that, wipe user data.
-reboot the phone and follow the setup as usual. You'll need to sign into your google account but at this point you would've had the opportunity to turn on the wifi.
It may sync all of your apps. Its a temperamental google feature. Then go into Google Play and buy NANDROID MANAGER pro (support the guy who's gonna save your bacon)
You should still be rooted. Before running Nandroid Manager, install busybox from the play store.
In nandroid manager, select your backup. Swipe left and select restore sms. Note that you should change the default sms limit to unlimited before restoring SMS. You can also restore apps and data from the app.
Now this is relying on the assumption that you are using a Samsung phone. If not, the process for flashing CWM will be different.
Hope this helps.
