I need help to revive my SHW-M250S

I followed youtube video on how to do a ICS 4.0.3 full wipe. I only know how to use odin to do it. But halfway through it got stuck at image and Odin just started to freeze. And now the phone only able to get into download mode. I manage to root SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1 using Odin's PDA and it worked but that is the furthers I go. I've factory reset it and reboot but the phone would only go into pitch black blank screen. I look into many forum discussion but none has the same experience as I have. Please help me as this isn't my phone. It's my sister's phone who just got back from Korea and I was just trying to unlock it at first never expecting it would end up this way.

To all m250 users!

Hi..

I live in the philippines and i have been using Galaxy S2(M250) for 5 months now.

I have converted my phone since day one that i bought it using the guide on the first page of this thread.

This has been successful and i thank the author for that.

I want to share to all M250 users that we could use almost all roms for the original galaxy s2 with our converted phone.

the procedure would be the same as indicated in the thread of the rom you choose.

I have tried many roms including:

Default M250 4.1.2 korean rom - very stable but with some korean bloatware

Supernexus - vanilla 4.1.2 stock nexus rom - stable and fast

P.A.C 4.2.2 - great for tinkers, lots of features, stable, great battery - recommended

MIUI v5 - stable, beautiful but battery hungry

thats it.. the signal of my m250 is quite good. i have been thinking of joining the antenna of radio(2g/3g) to the antenna of TV on our phones for broader range of reception. Please, if someone knows how to or have done it already, kindly share it please!!!!

For the sensors, the gyroscope/compass/nfc - i cant make it work properly, it some kind of working but not pointing properly(compass)

I have tried the solution provided from the previous post, but the compass doesnt move unlike the default .so files. Do we need to take ownership of the file? please share your thoughts on how to make it work.. Thank you in advance!!!

sorry for my english..

[Galaxy S II General] aplombx:
Thanks to xda-developers for providing such a beautiful tutorial about converting SWH-M250S to i900.

I am from India and now I have succesfully turned My Korean S2 to i900.

I followed the tutorial and finally debranded my SHW-M250S to i900.

After installation, I found these problems :

1) WEAK SIGNAL STRENGTH

2) MY PC NOT RECOGNIZING MY DEVICE, SO I AM UNABLE TO CONNECT TO KIES. i HAVE TRIED UNINSTALLING KIES / INSTALLING SAMSUNG DRIVERS, BUT STILL I HAVEN'T FOUND ANY SOLUTION.

3) NFC GONE........No problem. I have Bluetooth.

4) LOCK SCREEN NOT WORKING.

Now somebody please tell me how can I update to Jellybean without using Kies.

Thanks in advance.

Im from the Philippines and i got my Galaxy S2 M250K how can i upgrade it from Gingerbread to ICS/JellyBean ??? Or what is the best custom rom will i use to flash them ???
[Galaxy S II General] axel-529:
Is it converted? If not, you can flash jelly bean together with its pit file to upgrade and at the same time convert it.
[Galaxy S II General] mjmd061684:
No, it's not converted yet, so it is safe to upgrade it to jellybean ??? What firmware will i use to upgrade it ???

[Galaxy S II General] axel-529:
Well, what i did before is flash LSJ stock rom and its pit file via odin. Then, flash philz kernel for cwm and flash alliance rom (custom rom) for better android experience.

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

Why dont you try different usb cable? Otherwise, try reflashing or flash custom kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] mjmd061684:
Successfully upgrade to I9100 but i only concern is the lockscreen its gone and the power button everytime i press it my device shuts down:crying:
[Galaxy S II General] axel-529:
I have the same problem before with alliance rom

v6.1, what i did is i set permission to keystr file

to rwxrwxrwx using root explorer.

So its... /efs/imei/keystr... then reboot.

Forgot to mention, you have to check first if you

have keystr on /efs/imei/keystr. If you have none,

you can create using the root explorer by

following this (If YOU HAVE NO KEYSTR)

1. Go to /efs/imei/

2. Click menu and choose create file (or

something like that), name it as keystr

3. Once created, click and hold keystr until menu

pop up. Choose edit via text editor.

4. Type "ON" without quotation mark.

5. Set permission to rwxrwxrwx

6. Then reboot.

If you have keystr under the said location, then

you just have to set the permission then reboot.

[Galaxy S II General] Buscador:
I have just purchased a second-hand SHW-M250S that has already been converted to an unrooted i9100 running Gingerbread. I have no idea what method was used to make the conversion. Everything seems to work fine, including wi-fi, Bluetooth and camera. Now, I want to update it to the latest stock i9100 firmware available, which I believe is 4.1.2. I'll root it and then leave it on the stock firmware for awhile so I can see how I like Touchwiz since I have previously used only a Nexus S, and also get a baseline on performance and battery life before experimenting with custom ROMs and kernels.

My questions are these:

1. Can I upgrade using the OTA upgrade that my phone shows is available, or should I use Odin?

2. Are there any other "gotchas" I need to look out for when upgrading and flashing custom ROMs and kernels, or can I now treat my phone just like any other i9100?

I would think that these questions have been answered in this thread or elsewhere, but after 4 hours of reading and searching, I'm still not 100% sure of the answers. It seems as if the answer to #1 might depend on which partitioning scheme is being used, but I'm not sure how to figure that out. I'd really appreciate the help.

For reference, it has the i9100 logo on bootup, and the following info showing in Settings>About phone:

Baseband version: I9100DXKL1

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100DKL3-CL814816

root@DELL137 #2

Build number: GINGERBREAD.DXKL3
[Galaxy S II General] mjmd061684:
For me you should update via Odin, my SHW-M250k updated to GT-I9100 Jellybean with no problem at, now i using Snapdragon S2 v1.3 Custom Rom with no problem at all
[Galaxy S II General] Mirshad1:
Same problem here.:(
[Galaxy S II General] shindatuin:
Just flash the latest 4.1.2 firmware. Download it in sammobile.com,

be sure ur samsung driver is updated

follow this

1. Extract the downloaded 4.1.2 zip file

2. Open ODIN as administrator

3. Put the Extracted 4.1.2 firmware in the PDA of ODIN

4. Connect ur phone VIA download mode (power button + vol down + home key)

5. Click "Start"

in rooting, see my thread in galaxy s2 general section.
[Galaxy S II General] Buscador:
I already did exactly that, but thanks. I was already familiar with Odin due to having a Samsung tablet, I was just hoping to be able to take the easy way out. Once I realized the OTA update was only to ICS, it was an easy decision. Everything went well--I had to do a factory reset and create the keystr to get rid of the usual problems, but that was no big deal. The only problem I am having is that after I flashed it with the newest version of Philz' kernel (and yes, I got the right one for my ROM), I have completely lost MTP. I can't connect to either my computer or a friends'. Very weird, and I see no other reports of the same issue, but this is not the thread to bring it up in.

No i think its one of the changes in jb.. But is the usb storage really 1gb only?

Flash the jb latest 4.1.2 firmware with i9100 pit file from sammobile via odin

Then reboot to stock recovery

Factory reset

Wipe partition and dalvik cache

[Galaxy S II General] shindatuin:
Read my post on page 147.

Just directly use the latest 4.1.2 xwlsw firmware on sammobile.com and use i9100 pit file in conversion.

Install first the samsung usb driver and update it. Use odin 1.85

[Galaxy S II General] opusdeigner:
Hi! if your talking about unlocking your phone for other carriers..i cannot recommend it because its not working all the time.Some phones crashes and some just doesnt work..try this one,GalaxSim Unlock on the playstore, it have good feedback and see if it works but its on your own discretion if something happens..

---------- Post added at 05:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 AM ----------

If you wanted photosphere for your phone, I would recommend for you to use this but you have to sacrifice some options like saving to external SD,power shutter takes photos doesnt work and FC on front camera on some flashes/installation..Ive tried it and its working fine. I tried flashing it on CM10.1 and it works.Test at your own risk.

1st link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/ebbwccr0rbsinbd/S4CameraWithEditorAndSceneFix-signed.zip

[Galaxy S II General] Raghunan:
There are 2 different methods for this problem...

1) Complex Method : Convert your Korean S2 to I1900 Global S2. But this needs lot of patience, tools and time.

2) Easy Method: Do one of the following

a). Try to use one of the Messaging Apps like GoSMS. You may need to enter your Operator Service Number in GoSMS App settings to receive SMS's. Call your Operator to get this number . You can download and get more info from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=860847

b). These days SIM cards are not coming with stored numbers. You have to get one OLD phone where you can EDIT and STORE your number in "OwnNumber". You will find this option generally in Phonebook->Settings->OwnNumbers

c). Last option - Call your Operator Service Centre and enquire if they can do anything

1) Download a i9100 Pit file and a i9100 ROM with a rooted kernal, then flash it via ODIN..

2) Flash the latest CWM Recovery (otherwise get a ROM that has CWM already in the step above)

3) Download Cyanogenmod 10.1 from the official site

4) Flash it via CWM Recovery

5) Now you should be running android 4.2.2 with no problems :cowboy:

You can convert it easily with the i9100 pit file & a i9100 pre rooted rom.. You can even flash the latest CyanogenMod 10.1 which is running 4.2.2.. have some heat up issue with the CM 10.1 but you can get rid of that by using the NELP2 radio file..

Got no issues yet :D the rom is so smooth!! Avoid liquidsmooth rom coz they do not let us charge the phone..

Get CM 10.1, it works like a charm :good:

Before that flash ur phone with a i9100 Pit & a i9100 ROM, I used I9100XWLPX_I9100XXLQ6_I9100NEELP5_HOME.tar.md5 as the rom cuz it's pre-rooted & has CWM Recovery too. Then get CM 10.1 & flash it via CWM Recovery.. Find a good radio file cuz the one built into CM tends to heat up at some instances. I recommendusing I9100_radio_NELP2_CWM_(1)

It works, I'm using CM 10.1 Nighly 2013.07.18 & No issues at all! :cowboy:
