How exactly do you suggest to root? thru odin, superoneclick?? pls advise.
[Galaxy S II General] aigoya:
You are a wizard!

Now one final question. Flashing lulz kernel gave me the lulz recovery mode.

Inside the recovery mode is an option to boot to CMW.

How do I flash custom roms? lulz recovery mode or use cmw (inside lulz recovery mode) or do I need to flash the file u gave me?
[Galaxy S II General] MemoryController:
Cwm
[Galaxy S II General] MemoryController:
I suggest you flash hyperdroid or MIUI
[Galaxy S II General] phatwin2004:
answer !

when up rom by odin, if you see superuser! That success. If not. You can use super one click to root, maybe some speel happen. Search super one click 2.1 or mpre than and root it!

when in profile boot: + standart product or + cwm, you choice down in volume ( cwm ) and use flash normal. You can flash all rom file can use for i9100 or shw m250k, shw m250s ( or same file rom phone used).

Note: If wrong rom, can't boot success. Can go download mode, run odin again and choice file flash correct! see more in forum !

GOOD LUCK !

Good Day,

I have a problem with my EFS because it's corrupted and I have no backup.

Could someone provide a good backup of their efs folder? It seems like if I restore that to my phone then I could at least have a generic IMEI instead of nothing enabling my phone to connect to carrier. The nv data.bin would also do.

Pls help me. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] devils13:
Can you please have a look at this...?

Hi guys,

I have read the general guide by Intratech a few time and now decided to flash my M250S with i9100 stock rom. Just before I go ahead I would like you guys to have a look at this link for me if this is going to work. This link is to an image of Odin program loaded with the i9100 stock rom and my current rom.

Thank you so much!!!

By the way, my phone's not rooted.

As I am a quite newbie here, I can`t insert images from outside. I would much appreciate if you click the link below and have a look.

Just flash cf-root kernel and install checkrom
[Galaxy S II General] MikuSE610:
Yes, at first it'll give you an error. After the error, reboot the phone into download mode again and flash the kernel. Reboot and done.
[Galaxy S II General] charon420:
Just wanted to give a heads up. Hellcat recently released his SGS2 Device Encryption Tool. Utilizing the devixe encryption scheme samsung put in place .. But without the need of an exchange accout.

I installed it and gave it a shot on my m250k rooted 2.3.6 and thus far seems to be working just as described. I reccomend giving it a look^^
[Galaxy S II General] davidspwy:
hey,guy

i have asked gokhanmoral to make his Siyah Kernel for us. It supports M250K/S. I'm using it and working fine now.

You can have a try and report here if you do find any problem.

download link

there may be some initramfs changes to enable some services.

but in general, it should work fine if there is no big problem.

[Galaxy S II General] davidspwy:
i just use the korean rom(lidroid rom) which is modified by the chinese. they fixed this bug. may be you try to flash the stock kernel and baseband back after flashed the european rom.

i had try up kernel and modem, result: if up modem => weak signal than modem europe, if up kernel => reboot and reboot can't load OS ! that is problem so difficult to fix !

[Galaxy S II General] davidspwy:
two problems have been found by other when using the SiyahKernel. at the startup, iwlan and cmwifisvc force closed. you can fix it by freeze these apps. and bugs reported, may fix later.please push thanks or make donation to gokhanmoral.

[Galaxy S II General] kgp700:
hi there, i have some questions

siyahkernel for korean SGS2 kernel work with m250k rom?

no problem on booting?

or are you using i9100 rom and siyahkernel(m250k) on m250k?

i think that iwlan and cmwifisvc problem is relate init.rc file on ramdisk

have some parameters iwan and cmwifisvc on m250k init.rc

but don't have iwan and cmwifisvc parameters on i9100 init.rc
[Galaxy S II General] davidspwy:
i did install it in m250k/m250s stock rom for my shw-m250k,it worked.

iwlan and cmwifisvc problem is fixed, pls redownload the kernel.

for those who using i9100 rom,your campass,nfc and dmb tv worked properly ?and without heating problem?i havent flashed i9100 before on my new m250k.i just bought it a week before.
[Galaxy S II General] kgp700:
thanks!

it work M250K STOCK EK23 rom with siyahkernel 2.6.7

but i'm found some problems

all governors working only max cpu clock(1200mhz) and 2cores with device heating

dmb is not working correctly

(it's not have error message but can't find channel, can't watching dmb tv)

but it's very smooth and high quadrant score

(especially very high i/o score wonderful)
[Galaxy S II General] davidspwy:
i'm using conservative and max clock available to 1600 without much heat. dont know why. anyway,problem reported.
[Galaxy S II General] kgp700:
you can see cpu clock state change on setcpu?

work cpu clock 200Mhz,500Mhz,800Mhz,1000Mhz,1200Mhz work?

or only 1600Mhz work?

if work only 1600Mhz, then have many battery drain with heat
[Galaxy S II General] davidspwy:
it is caused by a stuck process normally.

you can check it by using betterbattery stats.

if the kernel boots there is no reason for the cpu stay at high frequency unless you are using performance governor.

if there is something missing a process may keep cpu busy while trying to connect to a server or maybe check something in a loop.

in that case, finding that process may also help to identify the main problem.

you can freeze that app by using titanium backup to fix the issue.

it is generally related with dlna stuff or some apps that needs sync (such as facebook twitter etc)

the above msg is written by gokhanmoral.
[Galaxy S II General] kgp700:
ok

now it's solved

many time reboot , have same problem

but turn on wifi and little use internet

and go to setcpu again

cpu clock is normal :) and not device heat

lol

i don't understand it...

thanks answer

+ add

omg dmb is working now!!!
[Galaxy S II General] davidspwy:
problem solved?dmb also ok?you can directly ask gokhanmoral if u still get any problem.

and you should thanks him not me.

:D
[Galaxy S II General] charon420:
Been doing a little research. It appears it has something to do with the android system in particular something called "constant field values" .. What that means in laymen... Im still researching. The string in particular is this: "public*static*final*| inttext_hud_view |

2131099677 "

..

Edit - I got it! It is same as the option as "asking when WCDMA is on" if you go through the settings and not the widget. That has been nagging me for the longest time. D'oh

Stricks! was wondering if you would pop back in heh^^
[Galaxy S II General] kgp700:
how to directly ask gokhanmoral? private message?

Magnetic compass works but quite unstable, not a problem for me.

I haven't got a NFC battery so no.

No heating problems unless I'm playing GTA3 and Modern Combat 3 or other cpu extensive games.

Random reboot

thanks Siyah so much! kernel working so smooth in M250K, but sometimes, it random reset!
[Galaxy S II General] davidspwy:
oh,ic. did you flash the pit file for turning from stock to the custom rom? and any european rom has built-in nfc function like the stock one?

i would like to try cm,miui and dlev rom on my shw-m250k later.i think i will try those rom with stock baseband and siyahkernel.

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

how come you have such problem?i have never random reset since i flashed it on custom/stock rom.

try do wipeing or using this script before you flashing the kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] MikuSE610:
I didn't flashed a pit file because the i9100 thread says 'Don't ask about the PIT file' so I didn't.

My Euro XWKK5 doesn't have NFC I think it is the latest in the stock world. :P
[Galaxy S II General] Sticks02:
Yep, just dropping by. I don't have much time to fool around with my phone anymore, getting busy.

I managed to get CheckROM v4 running with Siyah kernel 2.6.7, seems to be stable and very fast too. Although it might just be me but my battery seems to drain faster than with Stock ROM and root. :rolleyes:

Anyone know how to get DMB and carrier public wifi working? No big deal if not.
[Galaxy S II General] megasero:
What a nice thread!!

Hi y'all, it's really nice to know this thread as a M250S user. I usually used those MIUI based roms, but now I'm trying to adapt ICS based roms. Normally GT-I9100 roms works fine with my M205S, but ICS based roms have some problem such as no lock screen, no power-off options. Now I'm using {CWM}İCS REMİX ROM V7.1 XXLP2 4.0.3 resurrection by westcrip, it works almost perfect, smooth, and amazingly fast, but still has issues of lock screen and power-off with my M250S. So I just use it with magic screen lock from google market. Does anybody tried it to M250S? Let's share the information:D
[Galaxy S II General] davidspwy:
oh,really?i saw many ppls flashing customs rom needed to flash it also,or else error occur during the installation.i will try it in my free time.

not really,my sc-02c is using SC02COMKL4 for a long time.:D

and wanna know will this work or not?http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1407808

---------- Post added at 06:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 AM ----------

i guess u could find the dmb app and flash it back;then use the siyah kernel kor version. like the way enable nfc in customs rom. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1407808 or ask the checkrom creator add the dmb function in.
[Galaxy S II General] MikuSE610:
Well it'll crash because of the missing PIT file. But after the error, reboot it to download mode again and flash the chosen kernel.

No problems at all.
[Galaxy S II General] MemoryController:
You can convert to i9100 by backing up int storage to pc and using a .PIT file while flashing to repartition to i9100 partition table. Then flash siyah kernel for m250* to fix sensors.

[Galaxy S II General] davidspwy:
it didnt work on custom rom,but stock rom.i could flash without pit with stock rom,but cant do it with custom rom.now running cm7 with siyahkernel i9100 version,hk stock baseband and nfc add on. reli better than the kor-based rom; only the dmb cant work.

Wifi and USB problem.

Happy to find out the active thread on Korean SG2.

i have two concerns.

1. when i connect to a wi-fi, every minute or so the connection resets and says "Sorry. Video call cannot be used when Wi-Fi is on". I have no knowledge of the application that uses videocalls. i suspect there is a hidden prog that tries to access videocalls. how to go about this problem?

2. when i connect a usb, nothing happens. there's nothing on the notification bar. even the phone does not charge. but when i connect to a charger starting the charging process, and immediately switch from charger to usb connected to a pc, it continues charging (still no sign of usb mode)... weird things happening...
[Galaxy S II General] MemoryController:
1. Press home immediately after the wifi disconnect and see the most recent app, thats the one.

2. Different usb cable. This problem means usb port is finctional but the cable isnt.
