Hi guys, i have this weird problem with touchscreen after i've had a faulty flash in Jelly Bean. My touches cannot hold and drag or drop items, for example i can't hold notification center halfway. Also, there is a problem with overall performance: Videos seem to skip 1-2 seconds every second, music plays the same way, and everything feels heavier, my battery also seems to drain very fast. The weird thing is that phone is perfect when i plug it in a power source, no problems at all. There are some other posts with this problem, but no one seemes to be able to solve this permanently. Some workarounds are flashing blazing v8 with any stock firmware, or flashing CM 10.1-20130121-EXPERIMENTAL-i9100g-M1 ROM, but both has SOD s and random reboots, and the vast battery drain still continues.
The milestone to solving this is this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147306, but it's still NOT solved for months... It seems like this is a problem that only a developer can solve, but i cannot post there, so if anyone finds another workaround/ have the same issue/ can-has solve this/ can post the problem on the developer page is welcome
EDIT: SOLVED!
"Thanks to hawkerpaul for making nuke script, and thanks to jimsilver for reminding me of it! If anyone has this problem, here are the steps i took:
1- Download GS2RomNuke (Read all instructions),
2- Download the rom you want and gapps ofc (Read all instructions),
3- Put them in your phone, i put in the sd card and it worked,
4- Flash GS2RomNuke, don't reboot or anything, flash your rom and gapps,
5- Reboot and done!"
So on that thread they say their phone works fine on stock GB/ICS;but not on JB.
You can either WAIT for a fix,code one yourself,use GB or ICS,or email the CEO of Samsung and complain to him.

Have you tried using @hawkerpauls GS2RomNuke followed by clean ROM?

The thing is, it works on JB stock firmware with blazing kernel v8, but not on the latest versions of this kernel, and this problem occurs to a minority of users so i don't think anyone is aware of this, which is why i started this thread, if the CEO of Samsung gave a hoot about our problems, this forum would not exist...

When i plug in the phone to a power source, it is working perfectly well, which is why i thought there was a problem with my battery, it made sense back then
Hmm, it says that this nuke script is for GT-I9100, will it work for the G variant?

I read something from @hawkerpaul saying he couldn't see why not, but as I own an i9100 I obviously can't vouch for that. Suggest you search @hawkerpauls thread and read for yourself.
Flash it (at your own risk) and if that doesn't work you always have odin to go back to :good:

I was using Rom ToolBox. I attempted to change the theme of my rooted but stock rom Vibrant. When RTB(Rom ToolBox) rebooted the phone it would only boot to T-mobile boot screen then go to a black screen. The 4 buttons on the bottom of the phone still light up when touched. I can get into recovery and have reset data as well as formatted SD card.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I need this phone for my job that starts on wensday.
After recovering from what I posted above, I then soft bricked my phone a second time, this time it would only load to the Vibrant/Samsung boot screen.
"You should be able to get to download mode.
Pull the battery, put it back in.
Make sure the phone is still off.
Hold volume up + down while inserting the usb cable.
See if that works." credit goes to theexel for getting me out of this second soft brick.
If you have had either of these 2 problems this thread should have some answers for you, or will point you in the right direction to getting ur problem fixed.
I cant say thanks enough to everyone that helped or tried to help me with these 2 problems.

If your phone is stock rom but rooted.. just use odin, you can lose some info, or not, but the phone will work perfectly again (suggestion: try jelly bean, better battery, and it's working great)

That should be if you have this phone period, and there's signs of life on it, which there is on yours.
Look through this Q&A section for a tutorial on how to ODIN back to stock, you should be fine.

Bad news for me, now its soft bricked I believe(phone--!--cpu) screen. Also looks like the usb port is bad. Talk about crappy luck. Any ideas on this development is also appreciated.
You can still ODIN when you see phone--!--cpu.
As long as you see a COM in ODIN, you're good to go.
If it's not working, try different computer ports, cables, etc.

I think the longest part of using ODIN is having to download the files initially.
It only takes, no more than 10-15 minutes to have your phone up and running again once you have all the files and run ODIN.

I prefer official stuff from big teams, so I use CM10, I like it, its fast and stable.
Currently dowgraded to Froyo though, ah, I've missed my GPS.

I bricked it good this time, got cocky and flashed droid-vibrant rom. Didnt like it so I went to go back to my original stock rom, used clockwork recovery but something went wrong. When I rebooted the phone im now stuck at the vibrant/samsung screen. Cant get into recovery or download modes now. Everything I try just keeps cycling the vibrant/samsung boot screen. Is this a hard brick or is there a way to save it?
You should be able to get to download mode.
Pull the battery, put it back in.
Make sure the phone is still off.
Hold volume up + down while inserting the usb cable.
See if that works.

You sir are a life saver. Ok now before I do anything else. What should be my first move from here?
Well, that depends on what you want to do.
What ROM you want to install, etc.
Well, what do you want to run on your phone?
Froyo - been out for a long time so it is optimized to the eyeballs. Working GPS, long battery life, quick and snappy.
Gingerbread - Since we had no "official" build, there are problems with battery, GPS and small memory leaks here and there. Plus you will have to install Gingerbread bootloaders (If you screw this up, it is the one sure fire way to hardbrick this device-so tread lightly). Almost all GB ROM do NOT have e911/911. There is CM7/7.2, Simply Honey, MIUI
ICS - Make sure you choose anything 4.0.4 based, as it has updated code from Google. ICZen is my home ICS ROM, but there is Slim, CM9 and a few others. (Install guide is in my signature) GPS sucks for the most part too and maybe/maybe not e911/911.
JellyBean - All are experimental and still glitchy if you don't know what you are doing. HellyBean and SlimBean are the two front runners.
******************
My suggestion to you is for you to runu some Froyos to get you comfortable with the flashing, nandroiding, tweaking,...processes and then move on to something else. Above all read and search. This phone is 2 years old, so chances are you won't have done anything that someone else already has. Nearly all the issues are solved, so you should be able to use the search and find something out about said problem, as opposed to opening a thread about it.

I think i will stay far far away from GB. I guess I would want to stay on froyo, I just dont know which froyo rom would be the best. What im looking for is fast/good battery life/working GPS. I would need 911 to work as I drive for my work and use it quite abit to call in accidents/problems on the roads that I see.
Yea I searched and read and read, once I got to the phone--!--computer I knew what was wrong. This last time I found alot of people who had the same problems, the ones that got solved I tried the methods that they used and none worked.
I would go with Bionix-V FishmanMod Rom / Bionix-V FishmanMod Odin Images. It is proven to be really great at all the things that you listed. Also it has an Odin image, so you can just flash it through Odin and go about your day like normal (See the OP). You can theme it with the themes list in Slim_Ryder's post #4 (this is a great 2.2 ROM also btw).
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I went with the rom that you suggested. So far I am loving it. Much thanks for all of your help as well as others that helped as well.
Sweet!!! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Also might want to take a look at my Battery Guide stickied in the Q&A section. It has tips, trick, apps and some really good info you might need.
One last thing: Can you go into your OP and click Edit>Go Advanced and then put [Solved] in your title.
Ok, so here's the deal.
After I updated my s3 to Jelly Bean, the following problem started to appear:
Sometimes when WiFi turns off either manually or automatically (I have Tasker which turns off WiFi when screen goes off), WiFi gets stuck at "Turning off..." and doesn't react on any actions.
The switcher gets greyed out and I can do nothing about it. The only way to troubleshot it is to restart the device. Once restarted, everything works fine, but, as you already guessed, it works not for too long. =)
It all depends how lucky I'm. Sometimes the phone can work the whole day without causing the glitch, when I'm not that lucky I have to restart the phone a couple of times during the day. <- really annoying.
The phone is rooted with Galaxy S3 Toolkit by flashing an insecure boot image.
I tried to do factory reset but problem still remained.
I have attached a few screenshots as a proof as well as a screenshot showcasing my phone's firmware specs.
Any ideas or help will be appreciated.
I would blame Tasker try uninstalling and test .

Thanks for the reply. But it seems like this is not the problem with Tasker. As I stated in my previous post, I did factory reset my phone and the problem still remained, though no third-party apps were installed other than those that came stock.
I can reproduce the bug very easily: all I need to do is to turn my WiFi on using the icon under notifications bar and then, once it gets turned on, quickly tap the icon again to turn WiFi off. At that point WiFi gets stuck.

What date is your kernel - August ? If you have a late build of JB the stock JB on my S3 had a kernel build from 19th October.
You may need to just flash back a later stock boot image you will retain root.
Fixed things for me - just extract the boot.image from a full stock rom and use the toolkit to create a flashable tar should fix your problem and improve the battery life

Did as you suggested, tested it a bit and everything works like a charm. The problem is gone, plus I now see more RAM in the Task Manager (this was another issue I was thinking about), and the whole phone seems a bit smoother (maybe this is a placebo effect, dunno).
So thank you very much and you have my appreciation.

Could this perhaps be brought to attention again please?
How exactly did you fix it and did it involve losing any data?
NVM: Just download and flash Siyah. Probably the easiest fix.

I don't know about Siyah - I simply took a stock kernel, prepared it with the toolkit and flashed it with Odin. This was pretty easy and it worked.

Preface: I have zero knowledge of android development and rooted my phone myself.
Some months ago I decided to root my S2 i777.
I followed the instructions on this page word for word: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-ics-on-att-galaxy-s2-sgh-i777/
I decided to do it after my stock was getting laggy and was randomly shutting down and throwing the battery calibration off. After reading the good feedback in that page's comment section. I gave it a go.
Everything went fine and my now-rooted S2 was no longer randomly shutting down!
I noticed though that the caera and video playback stopped aorking. As in, the screen would be black. I could still take pictures, but I would knot know what it looked like until it was taken. That didn't bother me much though since not having the phone shut down random;y several times throughout the day anymore was more than worth that unfortunate loss.
Today, though. It started randomly cutting to black and boothing constantly. My battery calibration was all over the place. It has restarted at least 10 times today.
I talked to my friend that originally conviced me to root and he said to do a factory reset. I backed up my contacts on my SIM and did so.
Now it won't boot past the screen that reads "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-1900" with the yellow warning triangle underneath (this is wha tthe boot screen changed to after rooting.).
I can not boot into recovery mode via keeping all three side buttons pressed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Click the return to stock thread in this guys signature . Creepyncrawly has all the links http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2916435
@GPS_Music,
If you still want a rooted phone, then rather than flashing straight stock, why don't you save yourself a step, and flash Stock plus root. The links in my signature give pretty clear directions.
Since you originally rooted with files from GalaxyS2Root, the problems you have experienced are very likely related to the quality of those files. If you avoid GalaxyS2Root in the future, and use files from these forums, you will have a much better experience.
Since you want JellyBean, after you flash stock plus root, you could follow my guide to install a custom kernel which contains ClockworkMod Recovery, and then flash one of the fine JellyBean firmwares available in the development section.
If you have any questions as you go along, feel free to ask them in this thread.

Thank you for your reply.
The main reason I opted to use that site was because of the ese of the steps, as well as the pictures. I wanted a method that was clear so I would minimize me messing up. I will look into your signature links now, but I should note that I don't recall stating I wanted JellyBean...my phone is 4.0.x last I recall, which is ICS.
Hey creepyncrawly,
I was able to download the material from your signature yesterday, but unfortunately my battery wa too low to safely put into downlaod mode (according to the phone, which read something along the lines of "Battery low! Can not download!" in red).
I tried charging it before I went to bed but it would not go past the screen that shows the battery indicator with a loading circle int he middle (which was not rotating). It would then go black and the screen would "retsart" constantly to black screens (I did not notice this until I turned off my room lights, the screen was very black but I could tell it was turning on and off).
I am trying again now to charge it but I seem to be having the same issue. I will leave it plugged to my charger for an hour and then try to turn it on.

It sounds to me like you're trying to put it in Recovery Mode. Download mode is something completely different. Here's what you can do:
- Take the battery out.
- Leave it out.
- Hold down Vol Up and Vol Down.
- While they are pressed, plug the phone into your computer.
This should place you in Download Mode. Then used Odin to flash the Stock Plus Root package.

Are you saying to leave the battery out completely during the entire proces? That doesn't seem right.
As of now, I still can not get my battery to charge. I wonder if the ATT store cna loan me a replacement battery for a little bit.....

However, It reverted me back to jellybean 2.3.4 and feels sluggish compared to when I had ICS, should i manually update it or should I install come custom rom?

However, It reverted me back to jellybean 2.3.4 and feels sluggish compared to when I had ICS, should i manually update it or should I install come custom rom?

I think you mean Gingerbread 2.3.4. Also, if you're rooted, never attempt an official update.
You can do what you want, but if you want my personal opinion, I would suggest a custom rom. If you think ICS was fast, wait until you try Jellybean. If you want a Touchwiz rom, probably go with ShoStock 3. If you want a more stock Nexus-ish flavor, give Task's AOKP a try. Just remember to follow each thread's installation instructions exactly, which means a full wipe.

The main thing I am looking for is a smooth interface, minimal lag, and reliable. Which ROM fits that description? And may you link me to it's instructions?
Thanks!
NOTE: I just experienced a random restart. I was using the phone and the screen suddenly went black and bootted again. This is the same issus I was experiencing before I re-rooted.
Should I be concerned?\
EDIT: It happened agian, not even a minute after the previous one after it was all re-booted up.
I am seeing he following under About Phone:
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband Version: I777UCKH7
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UCKH7

Either of the roms I mentioned will give you a smooth interface and be reliable. And no, you can get to the instructions yourself. I'll give you a hint; the ShoStock 3 instructions are in the ShoStock 3 thread, and the AOKP instructions are in the AOKP thread.
It's pretty clear you don't really know what you're doing, so I'll spoonfeed you a little more. You're not going to use Odin to flash the rom. You're going to use CWM Recovery. You can get CWM Recovery by flashing a kernel that includes it. Here's what you do:
1. Download rom of choice and save it to your SD card.
2. Install Mobile Odin Lite.
3. Download Siyah kernel.
4. Extract the zimage and save it to your SD card.
5. Use Mobile Odin to flash the zimage.
6. Boot into Recovery.
7. Wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache.
8. While still in Recovery, install rom.
9. Reboot.
Most people will not (and should not) be as helpful as I just was. In the future, read read read. Read the stickies, search for threads that deal with issues you may be having, and read them. All the info you need is already out there, you just need to learn how to find it.

It'll go away once you flash a different rom.

Understood and much appreciated!
I suppose it's just me being over-over-over-careful and making absolutely sure I don't screw anything up (like last time). Though now I know this is the site to go to for any reference!
Thanks again!
Yup same problem i'm facing just tooooo carefull and i also read a lot of treaths but still i think sometimes That its not going to work sometimes the same thing would not work, deu to the fact that a Noob like me and u forgot a small step or someting
And then u had lucky u could take out the batterij.
I have 3 xperia's and all 3 can't take the batterij out so i don't had much time to fix it.
But as long as u try and say really good what u did and what u used.
Btw does everything work properly Again

Hi everyone. This is my first post...anyways, been playing around with a gt-i9100 and have flashed many ROMs successfully. The latest (and best) being slim saber. I THOUGHT it was soooo easy! Haha! Wrong! Recently flashed the experimental cm11. Did the customary cwm backup, wiped cacheband partition, formatted, and wiped dalvik. Installed and Booted up fine. From reading that thread I'm experiencing the same common problems. The two worst are the battery level is out of whack and cwm can't read the SD card or micro SD. Smaller problems include can't adjust screen brightness and any apps on SD get deleted after reboot. Other smaller issues also. The overall speed is great and battery life is better than 4.3 ROMs.
Now, the real problem...because cwm can't read SD, I can't go reinstall my backup, which was my plan. Unable to flash new because downloads also go to sd, which is unreadable. Performed a backup of the current rom and its going to the phone memory. Is there anyway to move my nanadroid backup or new ROM there so cwm can see it and I can flash or any other suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Man Jim, u gonna hate me lol. Unfortunately apolo 6.1 is a zip file, and as far as my research has gone, no way to convert it to tar for odin flash. any other suggestions? I think the only way might be to revert to stock and root again like bhavstech recommended. I'm not desperate, as it is still usable and I have another phone so I'll wait a while and hope someone can enlighten me...thanks!

LOL - I forgot!! I think there is a tar file for 4.1 - use that, or use latest dori (either 8.43 or 9.43) it doesn't matter which because you will be re installing your back up which will have its own recovery img.
Hope this helps :cyclops:

Hey Jim I got it fixed using dori! Funny because the latest 4.4 addressed both of my major issues...stubborn me decided to try it out and I gotta say its pretty good! Stable but just a few broken apps and small issues. Gonna five it a try as a daily driver...thanks again!!!!
use odin to flash tar and then install and older rom which is functional with the sdcard. and then flash back your backups.
This is the ONLY thread you guys will talk about the CrDroid ROM.
DONT post questions or whatever at the other leaked AOSP ROM thread else it'll create much confusion
So far annoyances thats been reported are:
• Random reboots (at least for some people)
• Auto-brightness
• Underclocked CPU
• Not working HDR & Panaroma (solved with workaround)

Regarding Random Reboots !
I have been using the ROM since yesterday though i have yet not observed a single reboot . I have tried following things as suggested in AOSP thread however it does not give me a reboot. Auto Brightness is the only lingering issue i faced !
Any pointers to reproduce the reboots ?

Yeah, first time it happens random, but if it once happens to you, then you will be able to reproduce it.
Anyone try to use the boot.img from leaked AOSP ROM and put I to this ROM? If yes do the random reboot still happening?

I can try this but not sure of the exact steps to follow... I like the CM rom very much.. blazing fast with ART, but random reboots quite often. I am now using wakelock to control the reboots. if you think changing the boot.img can help, i will try it out. lemme know what to do for tht

Before flashing the ROM zip simply replace the boot.img in the crdroid with the one from aosp.
I can try this later but I'm outside now

Done... Flashing went ok but after booting all my apps are gone (I didnt do a clean wipe while flashing.. only wiped dalvik)
The apps are gone anyway.. so i went back to recovery and did another clean flash.. Reboot the phone, but no mobile network. Unable to latch on to network even manually.. so may be there is something missing in the boot.img ?
Back key
Anyone can confirm back key in this rom didnt behave as it should after deleting pre-install files such as baidu services apps
edit 1 - looks like it has been warned by the dev as do not delete keyboard input method or else back button wont work..
Where is the link to the ROM. I'd update OP. Also, is there any bugs with the ROM? Or is it working like AOSP?
