[Galaxy S II General] phatwin2004:

[Galaxy S II General] MikuSE610:
It still exist, I'll flash a M250K rom first then try again. Thanks.

I'm having issues having ODIN identify that my phone is connected. I tried both the 1.85 in your attachment and the more recent 4.43 multi downloader.

I'm able to flash kernels and download the PIT from my phone using Heimdall Suite command line, so I don't think it's an issue with my USB drivers. Is there are trick to making ODIN see my phone?

I tried installing this but the phone crashes randomly at the beginning leaving a message android.phone has stopped.. Also the screen lock button when long pressed directly switches of my phone too instead of coming with a small pop-up

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

Ok guys i have perfectly installed firmware from Singapore, It works perfectly but i have a small problem which is that when i long press the screen off button, It is switching off my phone instead of showing a pop-up
[Galaxy S II General] tommohawk:
Yeah I'm on Windows 7. I just confirmed that running the apps as Administrator doesn't seem to help.

Heimdall Suite definitely detects the device is plugged in when the phone is in download mode.

I ended up going via another root. Oops. Route. LOL That was actually unintentional.

My phone was already updated to the Samsung Korean release of ICS (4.0.3).

I followed these steps from somewhere on these forums I think, but this is by no means a guide. I can't remember where I got any of the downloads from either. The last few days have been a bit of a blur.

I flashed Tegrak Kernel to the phone (Tegrak-Kernel-Build-39-for-SHW-M250K-UE18) using Heimdall Suite. I had to run the included zadig.exe to install the drivers while the phone was plugged in.

I chose UE18 because it matched the number of my PDA as reported by dialling *#1234#.

I used Tegrak Kernel's "install update from SD card" option and installed recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2.zip (which I had copied to the SD card in the phone).

I then booted into recovery and used Clockword Mod to install CWM_Root_SuperSU_0.94_Busybox_1.20.2.zip which I also put on the SD card.

That all worked a treat and it has given me root access, Busy Box and SuperSU.

Note, I had to browse for these files under the "external_sd" folder. sdcard in the folder structure appears to be the phone's internal memory and /external_sd/ refers to a removal SD card.
[Galaxy S II General] tommohawk:
Just a side note, when I went to select the ZIP to install from sdcard in Clockworkmod Recovery, I had to select "choose zip from Internal sdcard" in order to see the contents of my removable SD card.

If I selected "choose zip from sdcard" it would appear to show me the contents of the internal storage.

This doesn't seem right, but it still worked to give me SuperSU and presumably root access.

When I tried to then install a custom ROM by selecting "choose zip from internal sdcard", I selected my ROM (from samfirmware) and I got:

E: unable to open ums lunfile (no such file or directory)
-- Installing: /emmc/I9100TDULPB_I9100TVAULP8_VAU.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /emmc/I9100TDULPB_I9100TVAULP8_VAU.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.

The phone still works fine with the stock ROM though.

Is the issue here that the sdcard is mounted wrong?

EDIT:

I'm such an idiot. The ZIP file I got from samfirmware actually contains a tar.md5 file which I had to extract and I used Mobile ODIN to flash it (since I couldn't use the desktop one). Flashing worked a treat, but my mobile signal doesn't work. I used a ROM from a different carrier so I'm downloading the correct carrier ROM now to see if that works.

I also had to wipe data/factory reset using the stock recovery (e3?) post-ROM-flash in order to stop all the "Android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly" messages.

SHW-M250S

Dearest Masters,

My Phone Id:

using *#1234#

PDA: M250S.UH07.1652

PHONE: M250S.UD18.1125.ST

MOVINAND: EL21

Build Info: Tue Aug 7 17:01:28 KST 2012

Android Version: 4.0.4

Kernel version: 3.0.15-M250S.UH07.1652-CL906886 se.infra@SEP-121#3

Build Number: IMM76D.UH07

Problem symptoms: previously using GingerBread and I found no problem in plugging my USB cable. Yet after upgrading to ICS via KIES, kies simply stated, " Unable to connect to SHW-M250S. Failed to retrieve device information".

Does it normal problem after upgrading to ICS and how to solve this problem masters? Please lead me the way.

And if my phone can be recognized by my PC (again), next step to execute is I want to root it. Could u show me appropriate software, since latest superoneclick can not do the thing.

Last but not least I thank you for all the information and assistance.

Download the rom here http://goo.gl/yDrx3 Choose SKT and routing for root(use google chrome and translate page if you cannot understand Korean). Use the typical Odin method to flash the said rom. :D Installing a new firmware might also fix the problem you are having with Kies.

the remain problem still it won't recognize by KIES though.

thanx a bunch
[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
I see, when you enter download mode on your phone, hold powerbutton+volumedown+homebutton. After that, it will give you two options, press volume up. In your case, you didn't press the volume up after pressing the pb+vd+hb. :D

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

Try doing a factory reset of your phone. This might do the trick, but not sure. I never encounter having problems connecting to Kies. Just a question, why would you like to use Kies? If for software update, I already gave you the site for it. For backups of contacts and etc, use titanium backup or any other backup app in the play store.
[Galaxy S II General] gantengmawut:
Dear Kaizer,

I also not sure why i want KIES to recognize my HH, it is just a standard procedures. Yet actually I am not goin to need it in future ahahahahhahah.

Anyway thankyou verymuch for your assistance, remaining problem is 80 sms character<-- anybody knows how to solve it?

Regards
[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
Either use Go Sms Pro or Handcent from the Playstore.(recommended if you want to stay on the Korean ver. and do not want to do flashings)

The other way is to convert your phone to I9100 phone by changing the pit and the ROM for the international version of S2.

M250S heat temperature after ICS

Dearest masters,

It seems after several days of upgrading to ICS, I felt the temperature of the processor (somewhere located near the rear camera/LENS) is getting higher. I can feel it on my palm when I am browsing for just like 5minutes duration? Is it another bugs from ICS? DOES anyone experiencing the same symptom like I have?

And is there any problem solving (i take this as a problem) for this issues? Coz I guess this is also the causal for batteries ran dry (empty) so fast. It sustains only like 8 hours from fully charhed to empty.

Or should I downgrade it back to Gingerbread?

Well whatever the resolution is please guide me to resolve this issues.

Thanx in advance for whomever shall assist me.

Follow my instruction at page 104 post #1035 or just click this link http://goo.gl/Ro34h and search for post #1035. If you've got any other question or something you don't understand, just post here or leave a pm to my inbox :D

Well, I guess this is normal, at least for me. Everytime I browse for hours especially when using chrome and playing high end games, my phone really gets hot. Probably because of the two cores running simultaneously creating heat, jus like a laptop. Try using different kernels to improve the performance. There's probably a problem on your phone if it heats just for 5 minutes of browsing. Try siyah or cf-kernel.

Dear Gigalisk,

Would u please tutor us how to downgrade from ICS to GB. and if u could please also point us the links for its procedures.

thanx
[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
As long as you know what you are doing, you'll do fine. Of course there would be problems since SHW-M250* is different from the GT-I9100. Everybody should have known this before flashing the I9100 ROM. I can say there are pretty small problems but not all of them are big deal, for me that is.

This are some of the problems:

*Weak vibration- this is obvious since hardware is different

*Weak signal- this is pretty obvious due to the difference of cellular radio. But this can be fix by flashing different modems and look for the best. I'm using the NELP2 and its better than the stock modem of SHW-M250*.

*Absence of NFC capabalities- there is a solution for this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24439878&postcount=102

I don't experience any problems in the battery. Actually I find my phone last longer than the stock shw-m250*. Every kernel that is suitable for GT-I9100 is suitable for SHW-m250* as long as you are on an I9100 rom. I've been flashing different kind of kernels but still, haven't encountered a single problem.

Overall, it's all up to you if you will try flashing. Risking is not a bad thing actually. Sometimes in life, you need to take the risk.

If you don't take risks, you'll have a wasted soul. ~Drew Barrymore

waaaaaaa

ive been reading so many threads and cant find the answer. i got here by chance

i have a galaxy s2 m250s. already converted to a i9100 2.3.5 XXki3 rom.

is it now safe to root it via i9100?

is it now safe to flash i9100 firmwares ?:D

and lastly can i now flash i9100 firmwares using odin? thank you so much.
[Galaxy S II General] tediberus:
yes you do to it as you would any i9100 phone. you can flash CFroot first with Odin ..... to get root and clockworkmod. just find the cfroot version same as or closest to your firmware's current kernel.

after which flash a custom rom using clockworkmod rather than using odin.

[Galaxy S II General] mmmfreegoo:
116 pages is a lot to get through, so I'll just ask my question although its probably been answered - I apologize in advance for my laziness.

I want to clean up my phone by uninstalling some of the Olleh crapware and others such as Gagebu I never use on my phone (because I'm not Korean and have no idea what they do).

I assume that in order to uninstall such apps, I will have to root?

I'd like to know if is this going to be a difficult process and if I'll still be able to get system updates (like when Jellybean becomes available from my carrier)

Basically, is it worth the hassle? I don't want to be forever tweaking, just want to tidy things up a bit.

If there is an easy method, or somewhere I can be linked to please let me know. Otherwise I guess I'll just stick Gagebu, and all those other unknown apps in a folder and try to ignore them.

Thanks for reading, and sorry again for dropping something like this in on page 116 ;)

Dear all,

I intend to buy a m250S G SII, I read through the thread, however, I'm not confident enough, therefore I'd like to ask if I could flash Jelly bean ROM for I9100 (i.e this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1806401) for m250S?

Thanks all.
[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
You can try clearing the data through settings->applications->phone->Clear Data. Backup your contacts first since you will be clearing the data. I had this problem before so I first made a backup of my contacts through Titanium or get a paper and write all the contacts(thought the latter is a hassle). After backing up, go and clear data for phone. Then restart.

YOU LAZY BASTARD!!! Hahahaha just kidding :)

Go to this link http://goo.gl/egmHb then navigate to the lowest part of the page then look for Tegrak-Kernel-Build-39-for-SHW-M250K-21.tar or .zip. I assume that you know how to use the ODIN or the recovery. Flash it the traditional way.Tar for ODIN, ZIP for Recovery but I recommend flashing it through ODIN. Use PDA! After you're rooted, download Titanium backup on the play store then uninstall or freeze all the apps you won't be needing. After doing so, yes you still can connect through Kies and install Updates by KIES. I really hope Samsung would bring JB to our beloved S2. Though SamMobile said JB will be coming to our s2 by the month of October. It is just a rumor though.

BEWARE: You will increase you binary counter which means you will lose WARRANTY

Yes, but before that, Convert your phone first to I9100 using the instructions I gave on page 104 post #1035. After you have converted your phone, you can now flash all custom ROMS that are intended for the international GT-19100. But be wary that you could brick your phone so be sure to read and read all the guides. :D But why not buy the international S2??? It is much much better than the SHW-m250s. Just saying.
[Galaxy S II General] swedenboy:
Thanks for your advice, I'll spend some money more for the better one, right? :cowboy:
[Galaxy S II General] mmmfreegoo:
:laugh: haha thanks for understanding and your help

I can only see Tegrak-Kernel-Build-39-for-SHW-M250K-UE18.tar - it is listed for KT (which is my carrier) - Is this okay?

Well, actually this is my first time attempting a root, but I'm usually okay when it comes to this kind of thing (following instructions :))

but.. just to be on the safe side, could you link me the Odin root tool that you would use? Sorry for the hassle - by the way, should "F. Reset Time" be checked? (it is checked in the screen grab on that page you sent me)

then, I assume I just do what the guy does here to flash using Odin: youtu.be/mKwa4-Gtmpc (sorry, can't post outside links yet)

thanks again for your help, sorry for being overly cautious.

yeah, I also read that JB is coming fairly soon... :)

[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
Sorry for that. It should be UE18. I was sleepy at that time, sorry. Just the ODIN I uploaded together with the instruction I gave is fine. Better untick the F.reset time and leave the autoreboot ticked but be sure that the the re-partition is unticked.

Sorry but I can see the image you attached at your comment. You could go to the recovery then wipe dalvic-cache and wipe cache, That should do it

---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

Yep, The 4.0.4 ROMs are leaked. They are not official so it shows those kind of information. Yeah, just flash a base 4.0.3 ROM like XWLPG.

The ROM is Recovery flashable. Go to the recovery by holding [power button]+[volume down]+[home button] then install zip from sdcard then look for the rom you downlaoded :D

They are called custom ROMs because they are not officially made by SAMSUNG nor GOOGLE. Any developers that have knowledge at LINUX and frameworks can make their own ROMS. They add their own flavor, design, fonts, or any other thing that is customizable. But basically all of them are based on the official ROM. It means customized rom(read only memory). You can just look at this link http://goo.gl/MnY8i and look for a good ROM. Be sure to read the comments and the OP carefully. I can recommend OMEGA but there have been no more updates since the developer moved to GALAXY S3.

Im back here just to remind you guys..

Don't forget to click thanks, especially to kaizer who has been such a great help in this thread.

I've converted mine to i9100, without kaizer's help I wouldn't be able to do that.

As far as it goes, there really is nothing wrong with my HH at all.

Modems works great, I'm using the KI3 never had any signal lost or anything.

Battery life is also great for my using.

Im using Omega ICS rom, and Siyah Kernel 4.1.

Don't worry guys, as long as you follow Kaizer's instructions, all is well.

It should be on page one on this thread so people wouldn't have to go back and search for it again.

And do you guys have any idea, whether the i9100 battery is compatible with the 250s ?

mr kaizer help again

after converting m250k to i9100 i am facing one problem i cannot lock my screen i set every possible thing

in settings but cannot succeed !
[Galaxy S II General] kaizer216:
Thank you :D I'm only doing what I can.

First, make sure you are rooted. You can do so by flashing Siyah kernel or CF-kernel. Use a root explorer or EF file explorer. You can download them both at the play store. Make sure on ES settings, you enable "up to root", "root explorer" and the "Mount file system".

For lockscreen and power options you can solve this prob by folllowing this

1. Using a root browser navigate to /efs/imei

2. Create file "keystr"

3. Open it as text and write "ON"

4. Set permissions to rwx rwx rwx

5. Reboot
