Neatrom - no service and other problems - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just rooted my phone with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG1-v4.1-CWM4. Everything worked fine.
Then I used I9100XWMS1_NeatROM_Lite_v5.1.1 and I have a few problems:
- I have no service. I can see the service bars at the top of the screen, but I can't make calls/send SMS. I can see available operators under mobile networks -> network operators, but manual selection of my operator results in "unable to connect. try later" message. Is it possible that this ROM doesn't work in certain countries? I live in Poland.
- I can't see my SIM contacts in address book. I can only see them if I search for them, I can only see myself otherwise.
- swiping downwards from the upper part of the screen (which brings up the shortcuts for enabling/disabling wi-fi etc.) sometimes shuts down the phone immediately. Am I doing something wrong?
- lock screen doesn't seem to work. Pressing the power button locks the phone, but pressing the home button just goes back to whatever screen was displayed before the lock.

Maybe flash a different modem to see if that works, I'm having a similar problem but with the data only working oh H+.

Try flashing different modems until the issue is gone starting with the modem that came stock with the device
Else try a different rom solves all your problems

How do I change the modem? ClockWorkMod -> Flash update and just select a zip file containing a modem?
I got all the non-T zips from here (Veyka's collection):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950

this helped me
install the app give the root rights then click fix
your phone will turn off and after restarting lock screen and pin code screen will be displayed

I just flash via Cwm in recovery mode with a zip file. Never had any issues apart from the data since I started flashing but that's a work in progress changing modems myself to find a decent working one.

Only the zip files are flashable via cwm so look out before you flash
Try cwm->install zip from sd card(not install an update) and choose the modem
Also do a nandroid backup and also the efs folder backup
Gud luck mate

Tried XXKH3 and XXLPR and neither of them work
All those Philz Touch options are confusing and I'm a newbie, so...
- if I want to install a new ROM, should I do this: Wipe Data/Factory Reset -> Clean To Install A New ROM and when it's done Install New ROM and choose another ROM?
- if I want to revert to the original Android: Wipe Data/Factory Reset -> Wipe Data/Factory Reset ?
- I made a CWM backup before flashing NeatROM. What's that for (Backup And Restore -> Restore From Internal SD Card and it's there) ?
EDIT: I just remembered something. My phone was running 2.3.4 before I rooted and flashed it. Does that matter?

1.yes you should do a clean wipe as you mentioned before installing a new rom
2.you can revert back to your original android only if you have done a nandroid backup i.e. cwm backup
3.factory reset does not revert your phone back to original android version
4.no 2.3.4 does not matter at all for custom roms but does matter for modems

OK, so I installed the newest SlimBean and everything seems to be all right.
One more question: can I delete the modem zip files (including the one I flashed) and the NeatROM zip? I just want to be sure.
Thanks.

This is a common Froyo problem - a reboot usually solves it
I try rebooting, but that don't work. I try reflashing, but when I turn it on my wifi work only for 5 min.
Can anyone help me, please
What version of foliomod you are using?
Did you try to connect to other networks?
Ive also experiencing such problems, but turning off wifi, restart and
turning on after restart usually solved this.
You may try this, but I'm not sure it will solve your problem.
Install Clockworkmod
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923722)
Go to the Clockworkmod recovery (same way as toshiba).
In clockwork do:
Factory reset
Cache cleaning
Dalvik cache cleaning
Install clean stock rom, factory reset, install foliomod, factory reset
setup folio and check the wifi.
Regards,
headblow
1.I use FolioMod1.4 and also I try with FolioNotion1.2, but no luck.
2.When I turn on wifi it scan. After 5 sec. it say"Unable to scan network" and automaticlly turn off(you have this in first post).
3.Thank you very very much for your help, but Dexter's server is down and I can't download stock rom, FolioMod1.4. or older version. Secondly, Clockwork Mod recavery can't install stock rom.
4.I try to delete and rename to *.bak /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf(see this on other forum) and reboot. After reboot system make same file.
5.But thank's for your help. If you have another idea can you post it here.

Hello,
You've wrote that: Clockwork can't install stock rom,
but what do you mean?
Did you install Clockwork but you dosen't have
stockrom or you were just unable to install Clockwork recovery?
Regarding Dexter webpage, yes it is off, but if you will search
a little bit, you will find out that there is a mirror that
host most of files from dexter webpage.
http://mirror.ddevnet.net/tegra/folio100/folio100
There you have:
Foliostock.zip
FolioModv14.zip

My only tip is that you need to clean all cache and
user data, especially if you've been using other roms, which
probably left something there.
IMO the best way to do this is to use Clockwork.
If you already have clockwork in update.zip file (link to thread is in
my previous post), put it to your SD card, run Toshiba recovery
as you would with Foliomod, and choose to recovery from SD card.
Now you should have Clockwork, but in order to use it, you need
to rebot and go to Toshiba recovery once again, select to
update from file (again like in Foliomod), but then you
should see Clockwork instead of selected update.zip install.
In Clockwork you use volume up/down and home screen button on
the right as enter, or back screen button on the right as go back.
In Clockwork do the following as Ive wrote before:
Factory reset
Cache cleaning
Dalvik cache cleaning
Later you can install stock rom and folimod anyway you like it.
Regards,
headblow
1.If I understand, when I install Clocwork Mod I will have 2 recaveries?
2.When I flash stock rom, I can't install customs roms.
Yes but you can go back anytime to Toshiba recovery only.
Regards,
headblow
OK, I install ClockMod recavery and do factory reset. After that I clean cache and Dalvik cache but problem is still here. I try to flash FolioStock with original and ClockMod recavery. I get installation aborted without reason.
I have the same problem, wifi - error.
I tried all the stock firmware - no result, I did factory reset before and after update.
I've tried everything.
My Toshiba has 8 Gb memory.
Please HELP - who have another stock rom? Stock Rom by Dexter Im installed - no result.
Or tell me what should I do?
Thanks to all very much.

Thanks for the pdf. Have been struggeling a while to compile the drivers from scratch. Atm I have imported them into the kernel to compile as a module. But it somehow does not insmod correctly (well, it does insmod, but it seems that it doesn't load the firmware files). Perhaps this pdf has some answers for me.

So I may have just bricked my Galaxy S2 I9100, help?

Rooted my Galaxy S2 last night, running 4.0.4. This morning I used a rooted app I had downloaded which increased the processor or overclocked it or something. The phone then restarted and is now 'bricked' and won't boot past the initial "samsung galaxy sII" animation. Is there anything I can do? I don't have any backups and really don't wanna reset my phone to factory settings..
If I turn it off and then hold down the up volume button, power button and home button it boots into a screen showing the following
I know it's using 'clockworkmod' 6.0.1.5 and it also says "PhilZ Touch 3"?
" - Reboot System now
- Install zip
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe cache partition
- Backup and restore
- Mounts and storage
- Advanced
- PhilZ Settings
- Power off "
Tried 'Wipe data/Factory reset' but no difference, still stuck at the "Samsung" screen.
Not sure what else to try, using a Mac so can't even use Odin fml, any advice? I'm thinking if I can get hold of someone else's smartphone, I could download a new ROM / Recovery file and put it in my phone, to boot from? Not sure what one I should get though

You just resetted to factory settings. Now you can try different things to get your phone up and running again:
first, I hope you don't have a GT i9100G variant, because i only know the GT i9100
-if you have used SetCPU: boot to recovery (that menu where you tried "wipe data/factory reset"). Then >flash zip from sdcard > flash zip from internal sd. Then navigate to setcpu_safemode_toggle or similar, it's in the root of your sd (meaning it's not in any folder, just on the sd). flash it.
-if you don't have that file, boot to recovery, there you "delete cache" and advanced > delete dalvik cache. Then try to reboot. If that doesn't help:
-try to reflash the kernel with which you rooted btw the one you wanted to overclock (looks like it was made by PhilZ...). if you have a stock rom (not AOSP, but a modded samsung ROM) try a cf-root kernel (use the search!) which matches your ROM (sorry, no clue how to find out if you don't already know... just try one of the 4.0.4 kernels)
I have never connected a device in recovery to a pc for file transfer. Maybe it helps to fiddle around with the mount/unmount options.
If all of this is no use, find a friend with a windows machine and use odin, or learn about heimdall suite. I heard it works on linux and maybe mac too.
Hope I helped.

Problem is, I think I accidentally formatted my SD card, so the original ROM is no longer on there /derp
Also, does this mean I've wiped all data from my phone?
I'm thinking I'm gonna have to try flashing it on there using someone elses SD card, as I can't see how I would get the files onto mine.
So you must download a stock rom (www.sammobile.com) and flash it via odin. DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING until you flash a safe kernel (syiah, philz, dorimanx...) or you'll face the real hardbrick!

You erased all user data and apps when using "wipe data/factory reset". You can find out if your sd is formated by trying to flash a zip in recovery. If your folders are gone, you did format. If it is formatted or unaccessable, It is also possible that it is connected to the SuperBrickBug, though it seems unlikely. The advice by googy_anas is good. It is the safest way. Odinflash a stock rom, and see if it helps.

Could you please link me a rom? I'm confused where to get them from, I used this link: technoxide(DOT)blogspot(DOT)com/2012/10/root-galaxy-s2-ics-4.0.4-xwlpx.html to install the root in the first place, using the "METHOD 1 : ROOT 4.0.4 XWLPX WITH ZIP PACKAGE" method, not requiring a PC.
I've tried flashing several different ROM's I found online, all of which have come up with a big red "FAIL" in ODIN, except the first one, which caused a yellow triangle to appear and made the screen go weird and wouldn't allow me to boot into recovery mode any longer.
What am I supposed to do? Where should I get the ROM's?

I think you have kies program active on PC. Try to close it completely or end its task in the task manager, then retry with odin flash.
To be absolutely safe, you should also download a 4.0.3 rom instead of the unsafe 4.0.4

[Q] Which Files Remain After Flashing?

Hi, do you know which files left after flashing another stock rom into device? No matter system file or any type of any other file. What is the thing that flashing cannot change in device?
and
if there is, is it possible to reset ALL?
Flashing a stock rom will replace system files; files like music and videos etc should stay on the internal storage.
If you want to clear all items off your phone then you should:
1. Format the internal storage, can be done through Settings on the device
2. A factory reset from the recovery menu.
3. Clear Dalvik Cache if your recovery menu allows the option.
Edit: Some stock roms do not have modem files etc, if the stock rom you are about to flash does not have a modem file then the original modem file will remain.

When I flashed my stock ICS, the internal memory was formatted :silly: , so copy your stuff to sd card and remember to remove it before flashing :good:
Flashing a zip from recovery is not going to format anything, if you do not tell it to. However if you flash a custom rom it may not boot if you have not wiped your data.

Not sure if it's Android version related but have flashed stock firmwares before and have had photos (not in DCIM) remain on the phone.
Still, common sense to take anything off the phone that you want before clearing it down.
Thank you for replies,
I asked it because after I flashed a stock rom into my device, for awhile later system status changed from normal to modified although i didn't root or anything else to effect system. I think there are some files left after flashing and it causes my system to realize there are something changed. What I have to do to turn my device into never used status?

I flashed Wanamlite 3.7 custom rom and then went to I9300XXBLG8 (4.0.4 so I could officially update to JB). Before flashing I9300XXBLG8 I used Triangle Away and then flashed the firmware.
There's a warning on the page that some firmwares will not reset.
I wrote a little guide on another forum for restoring the warranty on an S3, may help?
1) Carry out the usual procedures such as backing up anything you want to keep, contacts, sms, data etc.
2) Install and run Triangle Away on your device (please read the XDA thread and take note of the 'in app' warnings.
3) Once Triangle Away application has been used the phone will reboot. Turn off the phone and go into download mode, check the statuses say 'No' & 'Official'.
4) While in Download Mode boot straight into to Recovery Mode and Wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache.
5) Put the phone into download mode.
6) Extract the Stock Firmware so that you have a .MD5 file.
7) Open Odin and click on the PDA field and select the .MD5 file. Leave all other options alone.
8) Plug the phone in using USB cable, wait for yellow 'com port' to appear and hit start.
9) Leave the PC and phone alone until the process has finished and the phone has fully booted.
Your phone should now have a valid warranty but we should check a few things to make sure this is the case.
Check your firmware is the same as the firmware you have downloaded:
Dial *#1234# to bring up the firmware version. If your CSC is incorrect then we will need to change this.
To change your CSC you will need your IMEI number.
Dial *#06# and note down the 15 digit number on a piece paper.
Dial *#272*yourIMEI# and install your relevant CSC (I'm in the UK and Network Unlocked so my CSC = BTU). Your phone will factory reset and reboot.
Your phone is pretty much ready now. If you wish to send off your phone for repair or any other reason that may require the warranty to be valid then continue on to make sure there is no sign of tampering with the phone.
Once the phone has booted up, format the internal storage from Menu > Settings > Storage > Format SD card
If you wish you can then connect the phone to Samsung Kies on the PC and check for any updates.
Double check that both the Binary Counters have been reset.
Your phone now has a valid warranty with Samsung.
Thank you very much for this guide, I will apply all the steps one by one. But before to begin I have a couple questions:
* I don't have anything about "Dalvik Cache" in my recovery menu, is this a problem?
* I dialed *#1234#, and it says:
AP: I9300XXDLJ4
CP: I9300XXDLID
CSC: I9300OXADLJ4 something wrong?
* I'm living in austria and was using austria rom, but flashed official UK (BTU) stock rom via Odin and it is still current rom in my device. But I've found a CSC included BTU stock rom too in this forum. If I flash it, is the all gonna be fixed, maybe?

No not a problem at all, the Dalvik Cache relates to installed apps and is just another step to ensure a complete wipe.
The option to wipe Dalvik Cache is usually found in CWM recovery, so if no CWM is installed then you are unable to do so.
Thank you for the info, so nothing to worry about Dalvik thing. Do you know something about my other two question too?

1. The firmware shouldn't be a problem, it's for the UK S3 but the modem is European...your phone is network unlocked isn't it?
2. It shouldn't be a problem and if you do encounter problems then I would jut flash the LJ4 firmware again.
I was searching about it right now. And I realized that my phone was network locked. I used an app called GalaxSim Unlock and now it is unlocked

Step 3 was succesfully. But after I did 4th and came back into download mode, counter was 1 and status was custom. That's why I had to do all once again and this time skipped the 4th step. So I flashed the stock rom without wiping data, cache and dalvik cache. Does it make a problem?

Not sure if the firmware LJ4 is giving you the problem but you could try flashing I9300XXBLG8 and then updating through Kies to LJ4?

Stuck at boot animation after flashing CM 11 ROM

Hi,
I was running BeanStalk-4.4.270 03/18/14 by zymphad. Im not sure what the kernel was.
I tried flashing the ROM by ronasimi in this thread.
The ROM that i picked was cm-11-20140817-UNOFFICIAL-geeb & the kernel was gbx-kernel-lights-CM11.0-CAF.zip. Apart from this i picked the Google Stock package of PA GApps from here.
For flashing i did the following :-
1. backed up all my apps using TB from BeanStalk.
2. loaded the ROM, the kernel & GApps zip files into a folder on my sdcard.
3. rebooted into recovery(TWRP 2.6.xx), backed up my original ROM and lined up all the three flashable zips and flashed them. (The flash was successful)
4. Then i rebooted into system. But after reaching the home screen, i was getting errors "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped" & "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". I remembered it might be because i forgot to wipe dalvik & cache.
5. I again rebooted into recovery, wiped dalvik & system cache and tried booting into system. It was still giving the same issues.
6. I tried restoring my old ROM's backup. Surprisingly even that wouldn't solve the issue.
7. So i again flashed the CM11 ROMs. But this time, the boot process is getting stuck at the boot animation.
My Qs are as follows:-
1. Did i miss anything or do something that is not recommended (or maybe even dangerous)?
2. What should be my next step in resolving this issue?
Any help appreciated.

I tried flashing using TWRP but the flash failed. then I saw the video and thought of giving philz touch cwm a try. it worked like a charm. Thanks a lot for the help. For kernel I flashed gprojx-kernel-lights-CM11.0-CAF-20140414.zip. Everything seems to be working now. Only thing is that I can't seem to turn off NFC. Every time I deselect the check box, go somewhere else and come back, the NFC check box is already checked.
Any tips on that? It's eating up my battery

Awesome! Thanks a lot man.
One last Q p)- I spent almost 30mins combing through settings but I couldn't find a 3G/2G switch. Is it hidden somewhere or it doesn't exist yet in CM11?

For some reason i was thinking that this will lead me to the GSM/WCDMA switch.

System not responding

[Noob question]
I have a 2 year old Samsung GT-S5282 i just rooted a month ago, by installing CWM 6.0.3.7 and flashing SuperSU 2.07 in it.
I've installed a few root apps that "boosts" the phone's performance.
But a month later i tried rebooting the phone, it passes the boot logo, then it comes across a dialog saying "process system is not responding, do you want to close it?"
I pressed "wait", but then the system crashes and the screen turns off. I tried consecutive battery pulls, wiping cache partition, but no luck, it still crashes on the dialogue screen.
I reckon it's on the kernel, but i'm STILL not sure what is going on.
Can anybody suggest a fix? I really need this phone and i don't want to lose any data.
(I've backed up my personal files, i meant i don't want to lose any internal data that cannot be backed up)
Please.

I guess you are able to reach recovery mode. If yes, then u should connect it with computer. Try installing a custom rom (i would suggest CM11).

Um thank you so much for the suggestion.
But unfortunately when i try to boot to recovery, the stock recovery opens up, not the CWM i flashed.
I tried to flash a fix for it, but it also didn't work.
But i guess flashing a new ROM will be the last option i have, so....do flashing one delete all my data? And if so, can i restore all internal data if ever i'll back it up? Thank you SO much for replying.

Well, then try three button combo (volume-down + home + power) to boot into bootloader and flash TWRP with odin.
No, your files in internal and external storage are not deleted when you format dalvik,cache,system and data partitions.
Edit: volume-down + home + power (boot to bootloader)
volume-up + home + power (boot to recovery)

Okay thanks.
By the way what version of TWRP would work great? (I have XXANF4 stock kernel btw, i still can't access the main screen of the phone after booting up)
And if i wipe system and data partitions will it delete the settings i have on the phone (ex. WiFi connection history, Bluetooth transfer history etc.)?
Thanks again.

TWRP:- Refer the link i posted earlier.
Yes, all the settings and apps would be deleted.

Dang it.
Wanted to keep it.
But thanks anyway.
I still can't access the phone. It just boots up, shows the lockscreen, then crashes and automatically reboots, then gets stuck in a bootloop.
I wanted to install a custom rom like you said but i cannot copy the rom files to the sdcard (the phone's still inaccessible).
Any more suggestions? Thanks.

Also, when i try to flash the TWRP 3.0.2 you sent, Odin gives me an error that the md5 is invalid.
I still don't know what the hell is going on.

Also, the reboot problem existed since i installed root apps, the system crash existed since i installed a custom launcher. (Nova to be exact). I don't know if that has connection to problem.
Can anybody help?
I can't just format this phone i have internal data and settings that i cannot delete.

Do a factory reset
Go to advance and format system and data
Then flash Stock Deodex Prerooted rom by akshay
Done
It won't delete anything
Flash cwm for star via odin
Then flash twrp via cwm
Remove ur SD card and using a card reader copy ROM file into SD card.
Mount ur SD card
Then flash the rom

I mean, it deletes all the settings right? Like WiFi hotspots and bluetooth transfer history and every app i have on my phone. I just can't wrap my head around the idea that i will delete all of that just because my phone crashes on passing through the boot screen. . .

U couldn't mention what tweaks did u installed to boost the phone and what exactly happened.
So,all I can say is 'do a factory reset'..
Just flash official firmware. The problem was automatically fixed without wiping data.

So i can just normally flash the stock firmware through Odin and Download mode and not wipe data? Is that correct?
