Anyone else troubles with WIFI on LPM?

My phone doesn't find any network....

Unbelievable ...seems that my gateway just crashed while i installed lpm....wifi is fine!
[Galaxy S II General] GertR:
Camera screen black but photo OK

I have the same problem with LPM 4.04. Any solution?
[Galaxy S II General] Siberian Tiger:
No problems here running stock LPQ.Maybe a wipe is necessary.
[Galaxy S II General] sageandonion:
No problems at all and ive used lq5 and now on lpm. Rooted stock kernal.
[Galaxy S II General] benbird7:
I was on that now on RootBOX ICS. No looking back.
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
Is Intratech still updating the ROM list in this thread?
[Galaxy S II General] Phil3759:
No, sadly. But get checkfus and mobile odin. They give you near all that you need
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
Damn, I really liked the Frankenstein ROMs, as I want to stay with XEU CSC but yet get the latest ROM version. I guess I'll be stuck with XWLPF.
[Galaxy S II General] Phil3759:
No, use Mobile Odin to flash separate parts from different ROMs, you make your own Frankenstein flash

Fyi camera and video fix for 4.0.4

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28768700

Now if someone would be So kind as to tell me the best 4.0.4 no wipe and where to get it. which components in mobile Odin I leave unticked in order to Frankenstein the Rom, last time i bricked the phone. Please.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Have a look here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1544487

XWLPM comes as one tar file non-wipe installation.

I have flashed it with Mobile Odin app in combination with CF-Root kernel v5.6 for XXLQ5 (no brick bug, as Chainfire made this kernel version "safe").

After first reboot, I had some FCs.

So I rebooted into recovery mode, wiped cache partition, Dalvik cache and fixed permissions.

Now everything works fine - even the camera.

Bluethooth not tested, as I do not need it yet.

Only the serial number is shown as 00000000.

But this is not so important for me.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Serial number 0000 seems to be cause of the bootloader is still from 4.0.3. Sure you remember same issue when going to ICS from GB. At that time, updating the GB bootloader to the ICS one solved the SerNr problem. Unfortunately I have not found a ICS 4.0.4 bootloader yet....
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Possible ... and probale.

GB bootloader on ICS ROM => serial number: UNKNOWN

4.0.3 botloader on 4.0.4 ROM => serial number: 00000000 ?!

Could be.

I think the bootloader (Sbl.bin) is contained in the 4.0.4 ROM file.

We only need to extract it from there and put it into a new bootloader tar file for flashing with Odin.

Has anybody already done it?

Any changes for the serial number?

I feel a little bit unmotivated, as I don't want to flash bootloader for such an "unimportant" thing like the display of the serial number.

EDIT:

I was curious and tried it.

Extracted the Sbl.bin from the 4.0.4 ROM tar file.

Then put it into a tar file, but could not change to the access rights like other bootloaders (from Intratech).

Then I flashed the self-made bootloader tar file in PDA section of Odin and while flashing the Sbl.bin ... my PC went to blue screen (Windows 7).

I don't know if the PC crash was caused by Odin/flashing the bootloader, but I really thought "Now I bricked my phone".

Fortunately, my phone boots normally - puhhh!

No change for the serial number, maybe the flashing of the bootloader was not finished and I am still on the 4.0.3 bootloader.

Anyway, I will not try it again as long as some else reports a successful flashing and provides the bootloader tar file.
[Galaxy S II General] NightOrchid:
Apologies if this has been posted earlier, but the thread is at 1111 pages, so can someone provide me with an alternative link to:

XWKL1

Android 2.3.6

Based on official package

This package has: PDA: XWKL1| Modem/phone: XXKL1| CSC: XEUKH2

Download: http://www.multiupload.com/9EQNGCY4RV

As mutiupload no longer works.

Many thanks
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Here are all still avaiable files of Intratech's firmwares => http://androidfirmwares.net/PhoneFirmware

Can't find the version you want ... why don't you flash a newer ROM version to your phone?

Stock XWKL1 ROM might be available on SamMobile => http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9100&r=1#regiona

I can only find XXKL1 or BVKL1.

If you want Android 2.3.6 (GB), I recommend to flash XWLA4 ... best GB ROM version IMO.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Brave guy ;-) Happily you didn't damage your phone.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Fortunately, everything works fine.

I think that the PC/system crash was before actually flashing the bootloader ... or at least not in a critical state of flashing.

But I don't want to tempt my luck again :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
Isn't it safe to flash the secondary bootloader and having it fail during the process? I have the impression that there's 2 copies of it, in different partitions (mmcblk0p2 and p3) and the primary bootloader chooses the most recently flashed one provided it's valid (checksum ok).

Provided the a flash failure doesn't occur on the pbl (or during PIT / reformat), you should always be safe even with failed flashes. Can anyone confirm?
[Galaxy S II General] NightOrchid:
Much apprectiated thanks. I did have a look around and have found that rom, however, Im after the XXKL1 modem. The reason Im staying on GB is Im really not keen on ICS at all. Im not a big social network fan, I like my life to be mine, plus I dont like having to register and login to everything and my phone dies because Im running an extra 30 apps which i never ever used,

Im more of a Media user.. Music, Movies, Pod Casts, BBC iPlayer, News and weather, email... all day facebookin, tweetin, IM... just isnt for me. I just think GB is faster, slicker and easier to use and the screen looks brighter and more vibrant under GB.. on 236, the screen is the same brightness at 25% as what is under ICS at 40%.

Ive tried ditching the social hub stuff but is part of ICS, Like it was with WP7 Mango, you log into FB and suddenly you have 300 Contacts.. Eh.

Lol.. on the funny side though... Im waiting for Android 4.2 to be called "up your ass", becasue being connected to everything and everyone on the planet so they know what your doing.. at the end of the day, youll fel like half the world has been "up your ass"

My battery lasts 24 hrs on ICS and ive tried all kinds on stock ROMS & Modems.. LPW/LPx. On GB I get about 2-3 days of textin, watchig movies, calls.. its pretty good..

I know KL1 modem is not stock, but I'de be interested to try it.

Thanks again

Does anyone know what is the lates official versian for unbranded phones in Norway? :)
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I have a clue for you: Download and use Check Fus Downloader from here => http://fus.nanzen.se/

It's a Windows application which does the job for you.

Just selcet the OS (Android), your phone (GT-I9100) and your region, and it will look at the Samsung servers for the latest officially released firmware.

And it can download it for you.

Just give it a try!

EDIT:

For Nordic region it's XWLPG and for Norway (Telenor) it's XWLPD ATM.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Now I flashed the XWLPM ROM with PC Odin (including the 4.0.4 booloader), and serial number is still 00000000.

Anyway ... good ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] new2androids:
Does flashing a new stock firmware resolve a boot loop problem, without wiping data? I'm sorry if this is a bit off topic, but no one has answered my question on the boot loop thread. So, if anyone here is kind enough to show me the way, I'd be very very grateful. I have been without a phone for two days now. Below are some information that may be useful for you to understand the situation and guide me through a solution. Thank you very much!

My SGS2 is the Korean version (M250K) flashed with a European firmware (I can't remember which one exactly, maybe UK or German; it's multi-CSC: DBT as shown in recovery mode). I am afraid to alter anything because I don't have the original stock firmware. It maybe running on a custom ROM as it has Chinese applications that cannot be uninstalled (I bought the phone in Shanghai from a black market).

Today, after recharging my phone and trying to turn it on, it wouldn't completely start. It goes into a boot loop (only turns on and shows the GT-I9100 logo, then a second or two of the Samsung startup animation).

I'm trying to avoid having to wipe my data - that should be the last resort. Is there any other way to fix my boot loop problem?

BTW, my phone is on OS 2.3.4, and I'm planning to flash ICS 4.0.3. I don't have root privileges. The phone may have an insecure kernel as there is a yellow triangle that shows during startup. I'm not entirely sure. That's how it was when I bought it.

Details of my SGS2:

PDA: I9100XWKDF

Phone: I9100XXKDJ

CSC: I9100OXXKDD

Build info: Fri Apr 29 08:31:21 KST 2011

Build number: QUENS.CHS.GINGERBRED.XWKDF

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513root@Dell103 #2

In addition, I don't know what caused my phone to go into this boot cycle (it won't even complete the Samsung boot up animation). I did not flash/install any ROM, kernel, or firmware before this happened. I've never actually done anything like those. I tried a power cycle with battery removed to no avail.

Please help me get the best solution. TIA!
[Galaxy S II General] -Grift-:
Did you wipe data/cache? Can be done with stock kernels and custom kernels. Cus from 2.3 to 4.0 its a must!
[Galaxy S II General] new2androids:
What is a must? Wiping data/cache?

I have not done anything yet, and I'm trying to avoid wiping data. If I flash another firmware, not for 4.0 (say, 2.6), will boot loop be solved without wipe?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] -Grift-:
You can try... Cus 2.3 data is not compatible with 4.0 data
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
It is possible but very tricky.

I managed to upgrade from XWLA4 to ICS without wiping data, but I had to move all apps to internal sd card, uninstall and reinstall some apps, reorganize app menu and homescreens, wipe cache and Dalvik cache serveral times, fix permissions, many reboots, etc.

A factory reset is easier.
[Galaxy S II General] timberwolf60:
Since you prepared to wipe. Tried this as shown. If failed then started to wipe.

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Flash CF-Root for XXLPD.

This will root you phone and install CWM Manager app.
[Galaxy S II General] sohebq:
flashed through odin but not working :(
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
What does not work?

Flashing, rooting, booting after flashing, download mode, recovery mode?

If download mode still works, then try to flash the kernel again.

If it does not help, flash the ROM again.

If it does not help, you may have to do a factory reset/wipe data in recovery.
[Galaxy S II General] sohebq:
I extracted the zip file, flashed through pda in odin, the setup completes as usual but after restarting, there is no sign of root. I have tried loading titanium and rom manager from market but it gives root error.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Try to flash CF-Root kernel again.

Is CWM installed?

And SuperSU app?

If yes, start SuperSU and check if it is working fine.
[Galaxy S II General] sohebq:
These 2 appps are not installed, anyway, I am trying siyah now.
[Galaxy S II General] new2androids:
But if I do upgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.6, would I have to do all those extra stuff you mentioned above? And most importantly, will the boot loop problem be resolved?

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
IMO no need for these extra steps when upgrading from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6.

I only had these issues after upgrading from GB to ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] stoyanow:
From wich Firmware do you satisfied people ? I mean ICS. Is somebody have problems with internet connection and speed because I have with 4.0.4 Russian :(
[Galaxy S II General] Phil3759:
LPG and LPD are the most robust and stable. I prefer LPG
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:

[Galaxy S II General] stoyanow:
Yes, 4.0.4 it is really fast . I like its smoothness and speed. Read more carefully my previous post, please. If you do not understand what I did not like in this ROM ... :)

I am testing LPG but there is a lag when I turn on the screen ( everytime ) . Also there is a little lag with scrolling :( 4.0.4 was better in these but internet speed was awful :(
[Galaxy S II General] -Grift-:
hmm cant you flash modems with 4.0.4?
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
Of course you can, the process is the same.
[Galaxy S II General] Phil3759:
4.0.4 is smoother but i prefer waiting for Europe versions. LPG is one of the most stable 4.0.3. Some like UHLPS, but I stick to Europe ROMs.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I know what you mean, but XWLPM is an European ROM version ... although Russia's biggest part is on the Asian continent, it belongs to Europe too.

In Samsung letter code "XW" => European version.

Haven't done much testing as I've only just flashed XWLPO but one thing I noticed straight away is I no longer have the 1.5-2 sec delay when pressing the power to wake up the phone to seeing the unlock screen, it's instant now, I had that delay issue with any of the previous 4.0.3 roms I used.

Hi everyone this is my first time facing such a problem.I was in LPM downgraded to LPG and now I want to flash LPO.

I will try again to install from the beginning drivers kies etc but if someone knows something about this problem I'd be very much appreciated

Thanks in advance Tiger
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
Could you have suffered one of those nasty MMC problems?

Have a look at this post. Forget about the fixing part for now, but check whether this might be what you have.

If this is your situation, you could flash just a custom kernel (assuming that partition is undamaged), boot into recovery, and try running through adb the mentioned e2fsck command or any other you might know of to check the physical state of the entire memory, or each partition individually. Is there an equivalent to "low lever surface check" from hard disks?

Then you can see whether there is physical damage in the space used by /system or /data, and check what to do next.
[Galaxy S II General] Siberian Tiger:
Unfortunately can't go into recovery mode,it appears that icon don't remember now something about kies.

I haven't tried to reboot the device because of the fear to make it worse than it is now.

So only solution is download mode.

Is kies a possibility ?
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
I don't think it is. If Odin fails to flash, something is likely wrong at the physical level either way.

So the device is live? If so, connect adb to it. If you're using a stock kernel then do an "su" once you're in so you get root access, and then you'll need to do that physical check.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Maybe you should re-install Kies on your PC.

Then attach the phone to the PC with the USB cable.

Wait for Kies to install all needed drivers.

Then shut down Kies and all of its processes.

And try to flash again with Odin.

Maybe only the Samsung drivers need a kind of "refresh".

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
yes, that is true - it is reduced but still there...
[Galaxy S II General] :
I got one question. I typically to quadrant benchmarking on ROMs (no matter it is really correct or not...just for fun)

What I recognized in LPO is that the graphic test videos do hardly go beyond 30fps, whiles on all former ROMS and Kernel combinations (incl. LPM) I usually get around 60fps for the 3D testgraphics....

Can anyone confimr or is my installation somehow bad?

[Galaxy S II General] Phil3759:
For 4.0.3, use XWLPG, last europe one and rock stable.

For latest a little unproven on the long run, use LPO (4.0.4)

After flash, you will be unroot. Format /system and wipe data and cache partitions from stock recovery will remove any previous root trace

ok, so this is present in XWLPT? and you do not recommend flashing this FW? it can brick my phone?
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
There has been ample discussion about whether it's safe or not, and not everyone shares the same opinion.

Either read a bit more in the past posts (also on this thread)

My personal suggestion would be to flash a custom kernel such as Siyah to be on the safe side (apart from the additional features they usually provide).

If you'll be using pure stock (non-rooted, etc.), I guess the stock kernel shouldn't be a problem although I'm not 100% sure - but there have been no reports so far of bricks with pure stock.
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
Thanks for info, that is exactly what i have read...with pure stock it should not be a problem. Well, I will give it a go, there is only a lot of bloatware present in XEU and might just change CSC. any other feedbacks before I flash? ;) is call icon back in the call logs?
