What kernel were you on? It seems like your phone, probably hung up cuz of excess undervolting or overclocking and since it was on charge, it kept running at full CPU clock for all night...

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

Hey my Indian fellows...

Proud to present to you my port of MIUI v4(Fully ICS Based). Its pretty stable for daily use, and being based on CM9, has the same bugs as CM9. Hope you guys like it...

@emze

Be cool.Reset counter via Jig.Flash KF3.Go to samsung service center and tell them that since today morning i could not make calls.

Your phone will be repaired free of cost under warranty.

When u get ur phone back,first go to this thread

and do EFS backup.Then root and try all those glittery gimmicks.;););)

@ithehappy

All these quadcore and higher rams are useless unless the software also matches them to give better performance.So expect to get superhot ovens with ultralow battery life till then.So until there will be a breakthrough in Battery tech giving us a minimal 3500 mv battery in the same size of today and Jelly bean is optimised to take care of all those quad/penta/hexa/deca cores, all these S3&S4 business will make samsung and mobile shop owners go to bank laughing while we whine here about Excessive heat/Battery life/which kernel is best,blah,blah:D:D:D

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Oh. Hope you will get it replaced under warranty by acting noob in front of them :p

EFS back only for rooted users. Basically EFS will be messed up only when you flash custom Rom or mess with system files. And since you need super user permission to access the EFS folder you need root access.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
this is exactly what i did. told him.. dude, this thing just died on me. i am not sure what is the issue. he got back to me saying it is IMEI issue. gave them the phone. i should call back by 4.30
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I don't think like that.Only thing shocked me was you guys flashing Custom Roms in free time.If I'm not wrong Doc's don't have much free time
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:

lolzzz :D
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
If the EFS got corrupted, how Service Center restore this? Just curious!

We people normally if having a backup of EFS can restore with repair tool or adb!

Since the issue is happening to most people now, we have to aware when flashing Custom Roms by taking backup and keeping it on safe place
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
You know what service centre people change the whole logic board !!happened to my friend who hard bricked his SGS

I guess Korean manufacturer doesn't allow samsung India to play much with it ! One of my friend works in SC. I guess they scare of ! Indians and strict with policies
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Huh what? I'm not understanding. How exactly does the customer service people get back the imei code when they themselves not having it?
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
Oh so many posts in just one night

@emze its really scary to get imei screwed up. any way our doctor prefix will make service centre guys believe that its fault of phone,but not ours

I took backup of EFS .. hope it helps in the event i screw up something

Really Nandroid wont restore efs??

can we flash some other phones efs to our phone and edit imei?

i think editing imei is possible??

Oh.. So just for imei they will replace the motherboard itself? So that means to say a new imei number right?

Oh edit: now I understood what chetan told lol. He meant logic board as motherboard. Which I read as the people changed their logic itself as in reasoning :p used verb for noun Hehe..
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:

Yes,the service centre guys are just employees of Samsung.They know the phone is in warranty..so why do they waste their time in trying various methods.They just procure the motherboard and replace.Plain and simple!! Everyone happy :)

I wonder if they have heard of J-Tags and usb jigs :P

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

Most Stupid part of this ROM is that, it does not have app new ICS based Apps.

- Photo Editor Still old one ... which has very few options...While ICS one is much better... I don't think Samsung will give us.

- Gallery App of 4.0 is missing.

- Full Screen Caller ID is missing.

- There is no Uniformity in User Interface. Some of Apps have Old style TAB some have new style.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Thanks

It means we have to wait for another leak!

Downloading this one is waste of time???
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
ROM is better then Rest for sure...but than again depends on what you are looking for !

One bug I found in Stock Keyboard is , Character Y and Z 's place have been swapped... :)
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Mostly I use 2G network which is missing in this leak. So not going to try.

with every new leak we are expecting bug fix from samsung.and sammy giving us with more bugs which is strange.

Still I believe that Kpa is better among these. For me at least
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
the key swap has been there from before. just see the language you have selected. i have noticed it on the previous 2 roms too.. switch to keyboard for android or the ICS keyboard and it will be fine.

U cannot flash another phone EFS and edit IMEI.

Help!

I flashed siyah 2.6.9 via cwm and it got flashed alright. But after the cwm, i am stuck at that screen where samsung galaxy SII with I9100 is written. SO basically its not booting up. Not went up to boot animation screen.

I have lost cwm now. Cant boot to cwm with 3 key combination. I have jig and can go to download mode.

So whats the next time suggested?? I have the latest indian ROM as tar file and i have checkrom.zip file and cf-root.tax file. Please suggest the next course of action, as this is the first time it got stuck there.

Hey can you wait for few minutes.I will give you the kernel i flash.Its an older version..but it always works..
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Good to try for retaining data! try that also before flashing rom
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Holding my horses! Was about to like start with either kernal or stock ROM. Downloading the .tar of CWM now.

So after flashing this with odin i will let it boot normally and then if still stuck, i will switch off and try the 3 button combination and see if i can go to CWM.

After that what to do?

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

Thank you once again! I will try the CWM.tar as given my chetan and then see about kernal or stock.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Is that universal or rom specific?
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
I dont think it will get stuck.It always boots up properly after flashing the cwm kernel.Please wait i will dropbox you the kernel i use..I say this because that one is tried and tested..Gimme 5 mins.

Thats a cyanogen build.it only gives you recovery.Actually harsha's recovery is screwed..thats the problem.And yes its universal

This will you give the lovely yellow triangle,but then you have the jig :)
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Oh, so CWM Recovery or the basic recovery is a must for the device to boot up? I think its kernal's normal behavior to corrupt the recovery once is a while?

Lol yeah. Gonna have normal day tomorrow :P

Oh lol. I was thinking of something else :P

@Chetan

My kernal shows that I have cygenmod kernal now. So can i safely flash the siyah 2.6.9 now?

Also its the normal for what happened today with my device, any chance of avoiding it in future? Was that my first brick? :D
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I don't think so :p ...What if she called when he was trying to Fix mobile
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
That was a soft brick..yes flash anything you want now :) (anything except a bootloader for another phone..lol)

Use the jig to remove the yellow triangle :)

And you cannot avoid those.Keep the "magic kernel/recovery" handy always

Hey Harsha..do me a favour.After you flash siyah..use your OTG cable and connect a mouse,use it for sometime and then just pull the mouse from the OTG cable after using for 2-3 minutes.Tell me if your device freezes up?Last time i used siyah(Siyah v2.2) it used to freeze.Please tell me if the issue is still there or not
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Yup definitely put up the success rate as to 100% lol :D You got a nice find there mate. Not many people know about this i guess :) So since I have experience this, next time I am be cool as soon as i see the logo screen :D

Lol. Im gonna check on that first :p

Hm! It's tough to say, I did check it by turning it on and off and frankly couldn't notice that much difference but that the earpiece volume gets high in a call when you turn it off, but I can't say how is the other party hearing me.

You've to turn it off and on (atm only possible in ICS) and call any of your friend from a noisy area to see the difference.

[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
I'm noob to android , please help me with answers for following

1. XXKH3 is official european firmware ? isnt it?. Will Kies Recognise after flashing with this and show updates?

2 . Should we choose CSC ODDKF3

3. I have a big doubt, what is difference between Kernel and Custom roms/firmware?

Kernel is itself Firmware?

4 .We needs 3 files for ROM flashing PDA, Phone, CSC

PDA is kernel file is it not?

what is firmware file here - PHONE?

CSC is operator settings etc isnt it?

5 .Custom ROMs can be installed on Rooted and unrooted Stock Kernel?

[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I am not sure how much Bandwidth it will use sorry
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
1. XXKH3 is already the latest version of the firmware out there. Kies would work on custom ROMs but I am not sure what update it will show. Custom ROMs will give you the latest firmware as soon as it is released (and way before it is released for India) so potentially you don't need Kies anymore. Also, you can always switch back to the custom firmware through this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

2. Search for "India" on the above thread and you would get the latest CSC. You can flash that.

3. Kernel is what manages the core functions of the ROM - startup, shutdown, recovery, deciding what frequency the processors run at, deciding what resources to allocate to what task etc.

4. For ROM flashing, just follow the first few posts of the thread. Don't worry about PDA, CSC etc. Some ROMs are flashed entirely through PDA, some differently, some are simple zip files that can be flashed through CWM.

5. Yes, there are some custom ROMs there which can be flashed straight onto an unrooted phone through Odin. My first ROM - Litening ROM was like that. It gave me root and a custom ROM all in one go

General advice: Read carefully. This is not rocket science, most developers here give excellent instructions. Enjoy!
