Newbie and needs your help PLEASE...

Hi guys, (i posted this in another part of the forum last night but i thought i might find more help in here)

So i had my phone unlocked in Japan (docomo store) a year ago and was able to use it here in the Philippines until I updated the latest version, i first started loosing my signal from time to time around couple of weeks after that and finally it got locked again. ( asking for the network lock control key)

Brought it to the Mall ( Mall Of Asia ) to have it repaired and they did fixed it, got my signal back.

And i was told that they have rooted it.

I arrived back home and discovered I get a black screen when i open my camera, same thing happenes when i try watch videos on youtube..

Can somebody help me with how i can fix this?

I saw that there is this CWM and SuperSU installed on my phone now.

Cos I live 2hours from the Mall..

Please anyone?

Thank you so much..

Now on the second day and i noticed i cannot connect on 3g too!
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Since its rooted. Download mobile Odin and the latest SC02C-OMLPL tar file.

Flash kernel, modem and system.

This will fix it.

And don't forget to write down which modem you are using first.

There is a possible quick fix to try first. It requires setting the permissions of a file on the system partition. Check my old posts for the info. I forget which file and permissions now.

Hi Guys,

I recently got a Japanese phone Docomo MEDIAS ES N-05D from one of my friends, and its locked. I cant figure out a way to unlock it. Couldn't find much on Google as well. Is there any way to unlock it through Flashing a ROM or anything?? I know that Docomo Customer Service Centres can unlock it for you so I was wondering if it could be done by myself. Another thing I noticed is when I enter the Android System Recovery Menu it asks for a password when I go for the Wipe data/factory Reset.. what would that be??i have tried 0000 and similar they dont work

you could pm me the solution or just reply here any help would be appreciated.

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
@SimmoF I noticed after installing your ROM that I now has two copies of better battery stats in my app drawer. I uninstalled and there was still one left. Strange. Anyway you can make your ROM check to see if it's installed already?

Did you make it a system app?

---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------

A wipe factory reset is not going to unlock it that's for sure.

This is not the forum for your phone but if I were you I would just pay docomo to unlock it for me.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Hey SimmoF, great ROM it is running great. I did have one random reboot but that was probably something to do with Siyah or whatever, no big deal. I did notice that I have two copies of the Gallery Application installed, I came from a stock setup.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
OK. For those with 2 BetteryBatteryStats. There is 2 versions. One is for xda users and one is on the app store. I have included the free xda one as a system app. That's why.

As for 2 galleries that's news to me. Do you have one installed to /data?

The rom only has one. I use QuickPic myself anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Went back to 3.5.2 kernel. Battery drain is just too much. BBS didn't tell me much either.

Still running your ROM though, Chrome crashes a bit more often.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
For those of you running OSX that have had issues using heimdall you should make sure you are running version 1.3.1

Also if you have ever installed Kies on your machine it will fail saying "ERROR: Claiming interface failed!"

What you want to do is put your phone in download mode, connect it to your Mac via USB and then run:

$ kextstat | grep -v apple

You will see something like this

70 0 0x57574000 0x3000 0x2000 com.devguru.driver.SamsungComposite (1.2.4) <33 4 3>
72 0 0x57831000 0x7000 0x6000 com.devguru.driver.SamsungACMData (1.2.4) <71 33 5 4 3>
94 0 0x57674000 0x3000 0x2000 com.devguru.driver.SamsungACMControl (1.2.4) <33 4 3>

Then run the following to unload the Samsung modules

$ sudo kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungComposite
$ sudo kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungACMData
$ sudo kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungACMControl

Now you can run your heimdall command

heimdall flash --kernel zImage

or whatever other command you want to run
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Updated my rom to automatically wipe cache and dalvik-cache and added the new Google Calendar app as a system app.
[Galaxy S II General] garwynn:
Thanks for this info.

Got 4.1.5 and will use it on a friend's phone to flash su/busybox/Superuser.

(We'll see if she wants a custom kernel, if not will put stock back on after that.)

Anyone heard of an ETA for JB on this device? Know the international version is sometime next month.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Have you included the hacked Google Now for 4.0? My wife's so happy with your rom that I'm thinking of reflashing back to ICS but would hate to live without GN.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
I used it with SimmoF's Rom. Worked fine but battery drain was significant. Switched to Siyah 3.5.2 and battery life really improved but was still poor. I could never prove that GN caused the drain. I went back to the CM 9.1 ROM and continued for a couple of days and started to realize that I didn't use GN as much as I thought I would. So I came back to SimmoF's ROM this time without GN. Guess what, my battery drain was still poor. Lol.

So now I have his ROM but went back to the 3.5.2 kernel, again, battery drain issues.

I may just wipe completely and try this ROM again and slowly add apps that I know I will use.

Bottom line, his ROM works fine with Google Now.

Btw, why do you want to give up JB?
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Stability mainly, I can get my JB fix with the N7 until official S2 Samsung source gets released and brought into the CM10 builds.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
The JB is buggy for me, and I have been using it a lot. So I don't want to support it at the moment.

Also I don't use any of the new JB features. So it's giving up battery for nothing. Well that's how I see it.

MMS/Video

Hi guys,

Any of you folks, who no longer live in Japan, successfully use the 02C to do MMS and Video Calls without issues?

It seems that MMS periodically works and Video Calls do not work at all.

Regarding MMS, when I flash a rom that supports MMS natively, it works initially but after not much time the MMS' just don't send anymore.

Any tips?

Nightly Cm9-20120731

Kernal Siyah 3.5.2

Baseband (have tested both OMLPL and OMKL4)

with the following patches:

S99FixNTTGPS_cwm,

signed_cm9-build.prop

and ics-compass-fix_cwm
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Check the APN settings. Does the APN type include MMS? Most use default,supl,mms

Problems with HDMI autorotation

Have you guys had any problems with auto rotation when you hook your HDMI cable to sc-02c? On the TV/Projector screen the device only shows it to a standing mode (forced). I started up Polaris Office with a powerpoint, and it project it standing so the text is side ways.. Not very useful.. If I rotate the device or change the rotation settings in settings->display nothing is happening. Do you know if there are any settings other places that can fix this problem?

I am so thankful for the work you guys are doing. SimmoF is especially setting a great version of CM9 to us!

I am using cm-9-20121007-NIGHTLY-sc02c-121008_091155
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
HDMI is not working on CM9, you can see a picture, then it freezes.

I just bought and MHL cable and found this issue too.

I am fixing a few bugs with CM9 then I will be modding a MIUI with all the Samsung extras working.
[Galaxy S II General] dhaub:
Thanks mate, problem solved. It appears not all APN sets (supplied with custom roms) are created equal. The CM9 ones are great, but some of the other APN sets with custom roms are not as complete. I ended up ripping the APN collection from CM9 and used it with other stock-based roms, this allowed me to do MMS.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
You are correct, especially the docomo apn collection. The CM9 one is very good. Exceot it does not include spmode.

The new Siyah kernel 5 beta is great on battery life, after you install don't forget to reset ExTweaks settings in recovery.

This afternoon, I will be releasing an updated rom based with Siyah 5, the latest CM9 nightly and a few updated system apps.

Also there is an issue with putting apps with libs in /system/app. The system is not able to extract the required libs to /data/data/app_name/lib

So I have made an init.d script that extracts the required libs to this folder at startup. The script is designed to extract the libs if the data folder for the app is detected, so after a wipe, the libs will NOT be extracted on the first boot, because the data fgodlers have not yet been created. You may get some app crashes, simply reboot the phone once and it will work again. This bug only affects the system on the first boot after a full wipe.
[Galaxy S II General] knutola:
Thanks! I better should donate to you. You are really doing a great job. Hope this problem can be resolved. Maybe not before CM10? By the way. Do you have any knowledge if the NTT TV app can be downloaded/installed and used with CM9?
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
No. It requires the touchwiz framework and you would need the official ROM to have that.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
OK, the new rom is up, it's quite a bit better than the last so please update.

I have made a few changes, please check the log in readme.txt.

I have got the wipe working properly so there is no need for you to do it anymore.

I removed a few of the system apps that I added previously, so it should flash to the secondary rom successfully if you wish to try it.

You can find it on my Google Drive folder. Enjoy.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
But I can't find it there. Lol. Not showing up for some reason. You must still be uploading it or you forgot to share it.

It's not on your Dropbox either.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Yeah it's still going, thought it'd be done. Should be up before 7, Japan time.

Is anyone here intertested in a MIUI? Or would I be just building it for myself?

(MIUI has working HDMI out, you can change the launcher to Apex or Nova if you don't like MIUI launcher)
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Nice, I'll check it out as soon as it's done. I just went ahead and installed the Siyah 5.0 whatever a couple of hours ago. Phone has been charging though so I didn't get to test how good the battery life was.

Meh... I never cared for the MIUI ROMs only because I already have a lot of Apple stuff. Reminded me too much of that so why bother. I may take a look at it for you once you try it out. Maybe others would like it.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
I am looking for a non-touchwiz rom that uses Samsung's as a base and improves from there.

I can find 2, MIUI and Chameleon. The latter seems to have a few bugs and MIUI seems stable. That is why I want to try it.

If you useyour own launcher and a holo style theme, it looks like stock anyway. Also I want HDMI out.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
I will try it if you make it.

Also, I have no problem with Chrome myself - yes a few crashes here and there but I like it a lot better and I love the syncing that it offers. So I guess I will have to install it myself.

Youtube App Force Closing

SimmoF - thanks for the ROM.

Just updated to your newest one cm-9-20121021-NIGHTLY-galaxys2 (from cm-9-20121014-NIGHTLY) - the youtube app keeps force closing (on boot and when I try to access it). Have wiped the cache and dalvik a few times but no improvement. I see in the change log the Youtube App was moved, can you point me towards a fix.

Also, on each reboot it says Android Upgrading despite nothing being done between reboots (I've been rebooting to see if the Youtube FC problem corrects itself).

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Yeah, the YouTube app crashes if the libs are not extracted to the data dir. For now you can just install YouTube over the top of itself. This will extract the libs and it will work. I thought my script had it sorted as its working on my system.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Simmo also said something about this earlier. Not sure if you did a full wipe before or not. I didn't but I did remember this being said and just for good measure I did another reboot after it finished booting the first time before I tried to open any apps. Just saying.
[Galaxy S II General] jaybot80:
Thanks for your replies. I grabbed the newest Youtube apk from xda and installed it over the top - works fine now.

SimmoF's ROM has been running fine for me - even battery drain is respectable.

To SimmoF - appreciate your efforts, will give feedback if anything odd happens.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
I've updated my rom once again. Also I have rewritten the scripts that build it so If anyone notices anything mising/broken from the last build, please let me know so that I can fix it. It should be identical except for a newer Siyah kernel and the new cm9 base, so anything that is different, should not be.

Thanks. It's still uploading at the time of this post.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Testing it out now. Battery usage is a little better so far.
[Galaxy S II General] user9988:
Haven't seen these posted on here within the last few pages. But sakuramilk and the "kbc-developers" team have a pretty solid build of cm10 (4.1.2) available for the sc-02c.

ROM and tweak kit here:

https://github.com/kbc-developers/release/wiki/sc02c

I'm currently on the nightly from the 25th.

Check the "ma34s build" link for working kernels (not siyah)

https://github.com/ma34s/sc02c_wiki/wiki/Kernel

I used the cwm top row choice under the AOSP ROM column. The nightly of "multi" gave me some trouble.

So far very stable and great battery life for me. Bluetooth was quirky at first, but it may have been my fault. Working fine now. Display colors were a bit washed out till I reset some stuff in the tweak program.

I've had a few freezes where I needed to reboot manually... only while screwing with kernel settings it seems. No freezes while just normally playing games, using chrome, line...etc.

I can test other specific features/apps if anyone is interested.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
SimmoF, have you looked at this?
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Yes, I'm not sure CM10 will be perfectly stable until Samsung released their version.

Update: Uploading my new rom now, it had some serious bugs fixed from the last version.

If you get app crashes on the first boot after a wipe, then simply reboot again (after the setting up android apps is done).

I also updated my sc-02c tweaker script.

It will work on any ICS/JB rom and sets it up to work properly with out hardware.

The new name is "Simmo's SC-02C Any Rom Tweaker".

It can be found on my Google Drive.

The features are

Modem:	SC-02C OMLPL + RIL

Apps:	SuperSU
Busybox

Tweaks:	Set NTP server (jp.pool.ntp.org)
Free tethering (tether_dun_required=0)
NTT GPS & compass fix
Facebook ContactsProvider database patch (is_restricted=0)
Black camera viewfinder fix for the Docomo rom
Docomo bloatware deletion
CyanogenMod APN xml (with spmode)
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
So if I go ahead and install CM10 one day or another JB ROM, I install your tweaker and I should be good to go?
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Yes. This was the original plan for my tweaker. Except now I have removed the kernel. You must install a compatible kernel yourself. This has the Siyah GPS patch in it.
[Galaxy S II General] jerald197:
does this sc-02c has hdmi like the local galaxy s2?

and i have this:

PDA:I9100XWLPX

PHONE:I9100XXLQ6

CSC:I9100NEELP5

and 4.0.4ICS

do i nid to flash sc-02c baseband and kernel to have GPS working? if yes where can i download the baseband and kernel for 4.0.4. thx
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
The HDMI will work. Flash siyah kernel. Flash my tweaker script over the top.

Everything should work except spmode mail push and oneseg.
[Galaxy S II General] jerald197:
thx i already did it. what about spmode mail push and oneseg.? can u tell me what are they for?
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
oneseg is the TV tuner and spmode mail push is where your phone alerts you when you get mails at your @docomo.ne.jp address.

Inquiry

Question:

I'm very new to this so pardon my ignorance but I tried to search for information regarding this but I was unable to find any. I'm from the Philippines and planning to get an SC-02C Samsung Galaxy S2. I'm wondering if it's possible to go stock as much as possible on the device while using a SIM card from the local carriers here. This is going to be my first 'Droid and I'd like to be sure before I get one. Thanks for the replies if any. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Yes, I've used my SC-02C extensively while traveling in RP.

Flash Siyah kernel with Odin to root it, use Galaxy_S Unlock app from Helroz to openline.

No problem to use on any RP carrier except you won't have SIM menu with Docomo stock.
[Galaxy S II General] CorruptPoenix:
Thanks for all the hard work SimmoF! I flashed my phone with a custom rom ages ago but when I found out that spmode mail and gps didn't work I promptly switched back. I found this thread a week ago and (finally) upgraded to ICS using your package. Here are my comments.

The install process was super easy. I flashed Siyah with Odin then flashed your rom with ClockworkMod and away I went!

YouTube wasn't working for me either. I uninstalled it with TitaniumBackup and re-installed from the marketplace.

Battery life is less than with my old stock rom. I don't know if it's from ICS or the Siyah kernel or something else. Usually when I get home from work my phone still has 60-70% left on it, but this past week has been under 50%. Then again I might just be playing with it more because of all the new features :D

HDMI out doesn't work for me. When I plug it in, the TV just shows whatever screen I was last on. How did you get it working?

Finally, my phone freezes about once per day. I've had it freeze when typing a tweet, playing a game, browsing facebook, and even once when browsing the app drawer. It has never frozen in the same place twice. Last night I plugged in my phone and went to sleep, but in the morning my phone was off. My alarm didn't go off and I was late to work today :crying: Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I love the new features of CyanogenMod but I may switch back to the stock kernel if I can't fix the freezing and HDMI issues.
[Galaxy S II General] jerald197:
sir SimmoF. something is wrong to my phone. i just noticed it when im playing temple run. my sensor is not working after flashing your tweaks named simmo's sc-02c etc.. is there a solution here?

after searching .... i already solved the problem. hehe. my sensor is now working perfect.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
HDMI is not working for me.

I have some drain too with the new siyah.

I get system freezes about once a day too.

I think it's a kernel issue.

What sensor is broken in temple run?
[Galaxy S II General] jerald197:
its perfectly working now 100%. haha after i flash the sensor fix.zip. thx anyway for answering my questions. :)

miss reading this part but is it possible to flash siyah without rooting first? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Yes its possible, get the tar and flash with Odin or try GingerBreak.
[Galaxy S II General] vipsavior:
I have the stock rom with the root file if you want it let me know. I feel your pain with constantly freezing, I found out that it is best to go with the stock rom, Docomo phones or should I say Japanese phones seem to be a pain just to get everything right, but hey I guess there will be no fun if everything work perfect. Well back to the stock rom. I found out that it's best to freeze certain apps if you like a list on what I froze I will be more than happy to post them. By the way I also have great battery life by getting rid on the Docomo crap and disabling some start up receivers. Just be careful because some Docomo apps are required it seems when I TB freeze or delete it the phone goes into a 30 sec lock than soft reset.

after the installation,i tried not to flash the stock modem for our sc-02c...and used the i9100xxkl4,it works!

now i have a Sim tool Kit app working too.

the only problem i've encountered is the volume menu in the sound settings...

settings crashes when i hit the volume menu.

anyone tried this amazing JB ROM?

Flashed the settings fix.

Flashed Siyah v5i.

Wipe dalvik cache and partitions.

now im experiencing the best JB 4.1.2 for my sc-02c!

No more problems so far....

GPS Problem in Japan

Hi there, I thought I will ask this question here, since most members on this forum uses a japanese galaxy s2.

I am using my international galaxy s2, everything works fine, except my gps! My gps when I am in other countries like HK and NZ has no problem whatsoever...

It just wouldnt pick up anything at all :(

So, I am wondering if it is because Im using an international version and not the docomo version...

Or is there some sort of `lock` on gps? :confused:
