I just bought SG S2 and it came with ultimobile in it.
It seems as an android personalized version or so. I connected to wifi successfully but i tried to configure email but it didnt work same it happen with . I wanted to upgrade to ICS because it came with 2.3.5 but doesnt seem to allow it.
Wanted to get rid of ultimobile upgrade app and dont work either.
Perhaps how do i downgrade the whole system in order to fix it all
Hi all,
Hopefully one of you out there will be able to help me. I see that there is an update for s3 that helps fix the re-draw issues, adds a brightness toggle and such other things. However when I connect my phone to KIES it tells me I have the latest firmware and I cannot update. I have the latest version of KIES also and it still does not recognise this update?
As well as this within my 'About Device' area of my phone I know that most other devices have a 'Software Update' button situated at the top, yet mine does not have this either, so I cannot check for the update this way? As well as this I understand there is also a software update widget? Yet again my phone does not seem to have this?
None of the standard ways is allowing me to update my phone, I managed to get KIES to update my phone to a particular firmware only to find out that this new firmware was the same as one my mate got already on the phone?
I really want to get this new update so any advice would be appreciated. If it helps I am with orange and upgraded to this phone over the phone.
Thanks again
Ross
Anybody have any idea what the problem is?
Bumping this to the top of threads to see if anyone has an idea why?

You have to install the Google Apps as a separate install when dealing with most non stock roms. Surely the guide you were looking at mentioned that...? Weird that you are having issues with Sms as it's rare roms have that trouble. Which messaging app are you using? Your contacts aren't there because you wiped your phone, installed a new operating system, and didn't install the Google apps to resync your account. I'm confused on why you're surprised by that... Kies doesn't work on non stock roms and is a much inferior tool vs Odin. Also, didn't you do a nandroid backup before installing Slim? If so, you could just restore that and you would be back to the previous version in like 10 minutes. If you didn't...well, you weren't looking at the right guides then. I think Slim is 10x better than stock, personally but depending on the phone and version, there can be some minor issues.
I think that Whatsapp doesn't recognize your phone because of the custom DPI. If you set that to stock value, it should work.

I told you why you didn't have the Play Store in the very first sentence.

Boot to recovery, wipe caches, install.
Is there a toolkit for the dna like most of the phones with a one click to fastboot to stock? I have a fully stock with android 4.1 on it.
Sitting on the settings screen it will prepare the sim card every couple of min and airplane mode turns itself on and off. At the verizon store they told me that it was an issue with the original software on the phone but its never been updated.
Since the update doesnt work, it does this weird **** when i try to update or it comes up and disappears with the update balloon saying checking maybe there is another option. Other companys have released downloadable update files but i cant seem to find this for this one and the one toolkit i found to restore stock got its links removed and its gone from the internet apparently.
Thanks for any help.
Ive got an android tablet that is having trouble after rooting with kingroot.
Worked fine for a while after rooting, main reason I rooted was to remove the bloatware installed (full of disney apps etc)
After removing the apps, then i started having trouble after reboot, and the following message keeps appearing and wont go away.
"unfortunatley, the process com.android.systemui has stopped"
Hopefully im asking in the right area here, but im hoping i can find a decent firmware with the bloatware removed , and hope that flashing will fix this once and for all at the same time.
What complicates this is that this model is for the New Zealand market and i think they are renaming another model number for New Zealand.
If another firmware is available that i can flash onto this tablet, it would be great thanks
Specs:
Its produced by southernTelecom
Model: ST10NZ
Android 4.42
firmware 2.01
kernel version 3.4.67
build number
ST10_20141217
BN: (another build number) 01.04.006.074.07

Here is a link to the product.

Bumping.
Anyone able to help find a ROM?

If it's any help, I'm having the same problem, still unable to find a solution, mines the ST13, but have the same problem with "com.android.systemui" - Be keen if you find a solution, I'm happy to restore the original ROM (or custom) but unable to find either as yet.
Here's hoping...
net nanny

net nanny is hardcoded and dont remove netlauncher 3 . if you deleted it, it breaks the android.ui and there is no recovery image.
If anyone can come up with a ROM image, that would be great.
I also have been told here to try downloading net nanny off google play.
Apparently that works.

If a ROM could be found it would be great.
I got mine working again after reinstalling the netnanny app from the play store, fixed it. But it still does not run flash.
Net nanny
re downloading net nanny from the play store does work, at least to get it working again. I had a problem that after that message popped up a few times (com.android.systemui failed to load) or whatever, I couldnt click on anything. AFTER I factory reset the tablet, that problem stopped. The message kept popping up, but I was able to click "OK" and type a few letters on the setup page lol. I got into the play store, found net nanny, downloaded it, and SHAZAM! Its working again. i JUST WANT TO PLAY MY GAMES LOL. THANKS TO WHOEVER FOUND THIS OUT! I hope this helps the next person that un-installs net nanny lol. BTW, I contacted southern telecom and said I got a virus or whatever and requested a website to download the firmware, so if they give me that information, I will share it with you all
Any news on that link for the firmware
Playing with a ST13 now, the os disappeared and tablet is stuck at bootloader, unable to do anything at this point. Windows does not recognize tablet and now I am out of options.
Anyone have any ideas thoughts?
