Stock recovery won't istall zip packages that aren't from Samsung.

You need ClockworkMod recovery.

You should use wjchens' Siyah, as everything is working in it.

I get this issue a LOT. Turn on airplane mode and turn off again. Or you can turn mobile data off then on again.

This resets the data connection and fixes the problem for me.

When I am on the metro, it can be annoying as sometimes it needs this at every stop. :/
[Galaxy S II General] shintastic48:
Thanks for the airplane mode tip. I don't understand why it just started occurring though 2 days ago. It was working no problem before that.
[Galaxy S II General] wendac:
i am also experiencing this these days.

my solution is to turn off the data connection and turn on again. sometimes even this cannot help then i have to reboot my phone.

strange , never face this before
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Are you using a custom rom?
[Galaxy S II General] shintastic48:
It must be something wrong with DoCoMo or the SC-02C. Although, you would think that people would be complaining about this sort of problem but, it seems that I can't find any news about it.

I am using the official 4.0.3
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
I've had an idea. After seeing the CM10 page, you can download different RIL files and test them out.

I have taken the OMLPL RIL files and I'm testing them in CM.

I'll see how this goes.

Hopefully it will fix the RILJ wakelocks I get.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Search this thread. I wrote some instructions about it before and evildave666 did also.

---------- Post added at 09:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

I just noticed the same issue. It happened twice yesterday and if I switch phone to airplane mode I can't turn airplane mode off. I have to reboot. Are we all using Siyah 3.5.2?

I also noticed that each time I turn the phone back on and data starts to work again that there is an update of apps happening. Coinkydink?
[Galaxy S II General] wendac:
I am using latest syriah kernel with cm9 stable version. The problem seems to occur less than wanamlite rom

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------

Also the battery seems much better with cm9 than stock based rom
[Galaxy S II General] takoyaki17:
Im on stable cm9.working perfectly.

The mods of this thread should compile a download links and tutorials at the first page.

Easy access for newbies/noob like me.

Can someone put here the best cm10 combination of kernel and fix so i could try a good jellybean rom.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] shintastic48:
It must of been a problem with DoCoMo as now things seem to be ok. Haven't changed anything on my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
I am also not having that issue anymore. But I also am now using Siyah 4.1 beta 6. Battery drain seems increased a bit but still watching it.

I am also on the stock ROM for now.
[Galaxy S II General] E43JAP:
Help please! I want to use cm9 stable and I do not know what bootloader I am on.

It stated that if you are on bootloader less than LPH, just flash cm9, if not sure flash resurrection with odin, then flash cm9. Is there a cwr zip version of resurrection floating around somewhere?

Or would someone be so kind as to direct me to the right thread please?

I am on stock DoCoMo 4.0.3 OMLPL with root only and stock Kernel.

All done throuh phone. No PC.

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
As far as I know dcm has never updated bootloader via OTA, though I switched off stock before the second ICS update.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
I've been out of Japan the last 5 days and have also had similar wierdness with airplane mode.

Cm10 0729 (will be putting 0815 on once I'm home), siyah 3.5.2-ntt and the gps fix combo pack.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Most Stable version of CM9

I think the best nightly I have had so far is 7/13/12, I don't install all of them but it seams the "Stable" one has more issues than this one.
[Galaxy S II General] jdfly82:
Have any of you taken your phones to get them repaired by DoCoMo? I have the full insurance plan, and managed to get water in my charging port at the beach. Unfortunately, now my phone thinks it is charging when it is not. My question is, do I need to flash it back to stock before I take it in? It seems like a harware problem to me (I've tried reflashing the ROM/Kernel/Modem, wiping all data, etc...).

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Siyah 4.1RC1 now because beta 6 was horrible on battery. Trying this for a day or so and seeing if any better.

If not, back to 3.5.2
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
It shouldn't really matter but you might want to at least reset the flash counter. Although you could just say you lost it although they may ban the imei.

On a side note I fixed a shorted out galaxy nexus USB port for about $12 in parts.

I recently got my phone replaced due to screen damage and I just flashed to factory default before sending it in to be safe.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
The charging port issues are not necessarily exclusive to water damage.

Have had the same thing on my Galaxy Ace due to pocket lint. Now I remember to close the usb shutter on that handset.
[Galaxy S II General] E43JAP:
Finally made the leap of faith and flashed the CM9 stable. What a mess that was. Glad my baby didn't super brick. Then I found the ROM I'm on now. Frackin' fantastic! Everything works except the compass seems to be inverted. That's the only problem I have with this combo. I did the GPS patch, but is the compass issue a separate patch? And would anyone please point me to the spmodepush.apk?

Thanks in advance.:thumbup:

P.S. How can I make this say SC-02C again? :confused:

What issues did you have and what steps did you take to get this going?

That would be a great post.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
I dropped my phone with the usb cable in and ****ed up the charging port, I had a custom rom and kernel and my flash counter was like 80.

Because I had the insurance, Docomo just gave me a new phone on the spot.

Insurance is seperate from warranty. Flashing roms will invalidate you warranty, not your insurance.
[Galaxy S II General] E43JAP:
Want the long version? OK, here goes. :eek:

I was born in ......... Haha, just kiddin. :D

I was on the stock, what was it? LE1? Just hatin' life. And along comes ICS via OTA. Woohoo!

I used a signed zip from the universal ICS root thread and rooted via stock recovery 3e.

Also downloaded the temp cwr from the same thread. Temp cwr, flash siyah 3.5.2, reboot, mobile Odin pro the CM9 resurrection edition, clear modem slot and kernel slot, flash with wipe, reboot recovery, wipe, wipe, wipe, ... Flash CM9.0.0.0 stable, flash gapps wipe, wipe, wipe, fix perms., boot, then the shyte hit the fan. All I could do was use the browser and make calls. Couldn't receive calls, play store not working, NADDA! What a frackin' mess.

Luckily, the 10.1lte was here so I could do more research and just happened across Supernexus build 2 thread. Download zip, download gapps, download siyah 4.1RC1+, GPS fix zip, saved to micro SD, placed SD in the sII, boot recovery, wipe, wipe, wipe,etc., then the fun began.

One big flash fest! First the ROM, immediately flash gapps, new kernel, GPS fix, reboot, and magic! I would say 95% flawless!

Set spmode apn and my phone is now 4.1.1 JELLY BEEEAAAN! :cool:

Thanks again to zaphod777 for the compass fix!

So far Bluetooth and texting were the only glitches I came across. Just installed SMS app and texting works now.

Google now works great, camera also. "Almost" zero shutter lag. :D

Still putting it through the paces. DAMN KICK-ASS ROM FOR A 15 YEAR OLD. HE DA BOMB! :thumbup:

I'll stop my rant here.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Google maps (background location) on CM10 rapes my battery, how did you fix this?

Or did you just disable location services when you are not using the maps app. That would be a pain in the ass.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
So I basically follow this guide here

http://www.browse-tools.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s2/

Using the file factoryfs.img.gz (without extracting it)

Then

download the stockkernel.zip (mmcblk0p5) file above.

put it somewhere on your phone.

install a terminal on your phone

in the terminal:

su -

cd /mnt/sdcard/

ls

(make sure you see your mmcblk0p5.img file)

if you do:

dd if=./mmcblk0p5.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

once that completes PULL YOUR BATTERY

reboot the phone
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Can list the steps for that? I want to do this with Linux and Heimdall works with Linux. I found this so far

http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/pipermail/linux-il/2011-June/007317.html

I have installed Heimdal 1.2 it looks like the command I will need to do is:

>From a powered off phone, hold down vol-down, home, and power.

heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.img

reboot

install SuperUser.apk from marketplace

download the stockkernel.zip (mmcblk0p5)

put it somewhere on your phone.

install a terminal on your phone

in the terminal:

su -

cd /mnt/sdcard/

ls

(make sure you see your mmcblk0p5.img file)

if you do:

dd if=./mmcblk0p5.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

once that completes PULL YOUR BATTERY
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
zaphod

u don't need to dd mmcblk0p5.img if you are already on stock kernel

heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.img

is enuf. But dont use the first factoryfs.img uploaded here as it is only 512MB partition.

It should be 612MB which is in the new Odin image with OC kernel. Download it and untar

the file, you will get zImage and factoryfs.img. Then use this factoryfs.img to burn.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Thanks!

Will that auto reboot or I need to reboot after that?

Can you point me to where that is located? The one I downloaded is from page 7.

looks like this is it from a couple pages back right?

http://hotfile.com/dl/122975516/3a69e93/SC02C_OC15_CWM_ROOTFFS.zip.html

So I assume that this will keep pretty much everything the same I just need to install "super user" after that and I am all set?
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
reboot happens automatically

use that file u just linked to get the factoryfs with untar

dont burn the kernel

u can install Superuser.apk to control su access

for testing use su.recovery from shell

pm me for password.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
I sent you a PM for the password.

by "don't burn the kernel" you mean only run the "heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.img" command without any of the other kernel options right?

Thanks for all of the help!
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
you will see when u extract it with the password I just sent to you.

there is a tar file. extract it. it will give u zImage (Kernel) and factoryfs.img (system partition) Delete the zImage as you do not need it.

Then just do the heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.img command to burn the /system partition.
[Galaxy S II General] korl85:
This version has digital TV.
[Galaxy S II General] Sharpshooterrr:
Pardon my ignorance, but can you watch your local TV shows with this "digital TV" that comes with the NTT Docomo version of the Galaxy S2? Or is this a network dependent service?
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
u can only watch japanese oneseg tv ota and is not compatible with any other country afaik(maybe Brazil)

so u need to live in Japan to use that feature
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
Here is a stock kernel + rooted factoryfs 612MB version for Odin and Heimdall.

http://hotfile.com/dl/123171449/40f4fa6/SC02C_STOCK_KERNEL_ROOTFFS.zip.html

Password is the same as CWM one. PM me if you do not know already.

Unzip the file. you will get a .tar file. Use it to burn with Odin 3 (Version 1.85 or it will

fail in most cases)

If you prefer to use Heimdall, untar the .tar file above. You will now get zImage and

factoryfs.img. Burn it using Heimdall.

If you want to burn factoryfs.img only with Odin, create a tar file with factoryfs.img:

tar -cf SC02C_FACTORYFS.tar factoryfs.img

now load the FACTORYFS.tar into PDA of Odin and burn.

You can do the same with zImage only aswell.

You do not need to add --type=ustar to the tar command and you do not need to add md5.

Hey guys, Im new here to Xda-developers.

I just bought an SC-02C from some guy selling on Rakuten and I have been trying to unlock with ChainFire software with no use. I already rooted this bad boy and for now I am not very concerned about installing different ROMs, because my SIM card is from Softbank (talking to my girlfriend for free in Tadatomo!) and I am starting to consider moving to Docomo just because I am a loser that couldnt unlock his phone.

I am willing to pay for anyone to give me some unlocking codes... I already extracted the nv_data.bin file.... Does anybody knows a method for this?

I read Odia`s forum, but I got lost when he was explaining about the hashes...

Could someone give me some light?

Best Regards!
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
robotsapiens:

You just go to DoCoMo Shop near you and ask them to unlock.

It will cost 3150 Yen.

Heiji29:

It's the stock kernel, for going back to normal factory state,

Or to just root the device. (it will overwrite the stock kernel with the same stock kernel, which is not necessary but maybe very convenience for lazy people)
[Galaxy S II General] robotsapiens:
Really? It is really this easy? The guy sold me through Rakuten, so I have no receipt and for sure it is not in my name.

If I go there with my Gaikokujin Touroku and pay 3150 it is going to be ok?

I wanted to use Softbank and then take it back with me to my country...

Thanks for the fast reply, anyway!
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
If its not in your name then you're probably SOL.

The SC-02C uses a different hashing scheme than the other models so the unlock method for them will not work.
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
shouldnt matter if it is registered to ur account or not

u just say u bought it from auction.

Stock 4.0.3 Application Not Responding

Has anyone using stock 4.0.3 noticed that the "application not responding" (ANR) dialog never displays?

Despite having apps freeze on a semi-regular basis through normal use, I have never once been presented with the ANR dialog. In many cases pressing the home button also does nothing, and I am forced to hold down the power button to shutdown the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] aperception:
Update: I found an easy way to reproduce the problem: First install "Fast Force Close" from the market. Although stated functionality doesn't work, it has a nice crash simulator! If some of you guys with both stock and custom 4.0.3 ROMs could run the below tests and post back here it would be much appreciated!

To reproduce the ANR dialog not showing up, but without completely hanging the system:

1) Open app and run "ANR Test" option

2) Wait for ~10s and confirm that the "application not responding" dialog never shows up.

3) Confirm that pressing home button does work, and that you can force kill the app by opening android task manager.

To reproduce full system hang:

1) Open app and run "Crash Test" option

2) Wait for ~10s and confirm that the "application not responding" dialog never shows up.

3) Confirm that pressing the home button does not take you home, and that it is not possible to regain control of the phone without long pressing the power button to shutdown (alternatively I guess you could remove the battery).
[Galaxy S II General] blaze0303:
Glad you guys got your official update. The galaxy note hasn't yet...
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:
Wait more than 1 minute the ANR dialog will appear,samsung sucks.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
I have taken the SC02C OMLPL modem.bin and RIL libraries out of the official update and put them into a cwm zip.

I recommend installing this after you flash a custom rom.

The RIL library is necessary to communicate properly with the SC-02C modem binary.

From my research on the xda forums, incompatable ril and modem can cause data issues.

If you are not having any problem, you probably don't need it.

But installing this patch will likely give you a more reliable data connection.

If you are on the stock Docomo/Samsung rom, you don't need this.

Please post your findings. Download here.

My XDA shared dropbox folder is here.
[Galaxy S II General] aperception:
Nah with my stock kernel it never appears... After ~2min it just does a soft restart. Did you test that it appears after 1min? I'm pretty sure that before I updated to ICS it used to appear much faster than 1min.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
The stock Docmo ICS rom freezes way too much.

My wife wanted a downgrade back to 2.3.6
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
I notice more crashes with Chrome than any other app. But other than that I am running stock DoCoMo ICS rooted with Siyah 3.5.2. Best combo for me so far. Also have the tweaks installed. That didn't fix my viewfinder though, which is the only big issue I have.

Not sure why we are even talking about ANR.
[Galaxy S II General] aperception:
Because there doesn't appear to be a way to force close crashed/unresponsive programs on my phone without a hard shut down. I want to know if this limited to stock docomo kernel or also on custom kernels. Imagine if you couldn't access ctrl+alt+del on your PC...
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Don't use ctrl+alt+del on my mac. I notice that if you hold the power button when a program locks up for a second or two you will feel the haptic feedback vibration, let it go and about 10-15 seconds later things will appear normal without a reboot. Not always as you say, but sometimes that works for me.
[Galaxy S II General] E43JAP:
You da man! :thumbup::cool:

Just what I've been looking for.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] tokyoBB71:
Thank you!! :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
So here are the issues I am currently having.

1) black viewfinder on camera. I need this fix if anyone has it. The tweaks file didn't fix for me.

2) the data connection shuts down and requires a reboot to fix. I have noticed that when there are a certain number of automatic updates that want to install the data connection shuts itself off. But, if it's only one or two updates the data connection status connected. Out appears to be a certain number. For me, every time I have like 4 or more that are trying to update.

3) battery drain is still pretty significant. Even with my new extra HD battery.

What say you xda?
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Check this link SimmoF provided

It seems to have helped with the data issue.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Wouldn't this just overwrite what I am already using? I am using the stock ROM with Siyah kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Oh, then yes it would.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
With battery drain, use Better Battery Stats to see what is causing it. Get it for free here. Run BBS in the morning then use your phone as usual, then post the logs here.

I bet it's Naver Line, Facebook or Google Maps doing it. The new version of line has an annoying wakelock issue. The latest version "appears" to have fixed it somewhat.

To fix the black camera, run this command with adb or using Android Terminal Emulator.

chmod 640 /system/lib/hw/hwcomposer.exynos4.so

Or use a file explorer to set the permissions of this file to rw-r-----

My tweaks file will fix this for you. It can be safely installed over any rom on the sc-02c. It gets you free tethering, gps fix etc/

The only time I have an issue with my data connection is when I am on the metro and its on-off-on-off-on-off-on etc.

Also in izakaya when I am in the basement and when I come up my connection is broken.

Usually this broken connection totally drains my battery. Maybe thats ur issue.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Installed the better battery stats program, not sure about all of the settings just yet but whatever updated on my phone in the last 24 hours is killing my battery EXTREMELY fast, 8% in less than 10 minutes.

Anyone know of a program that checks most recently installed apps date?

This sucks big time.

I noticed that bbs said something about audio and I did a little research, I just updated Swype beta yesterday and I noticed I've of the permissions was audio input, which earlier today was one of the big battery uses that bbs saw. I don't talk to my phone really at all. Hmm....

---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

Update: Issue 1 fixed. Tweaks.zip didn't fix it but manually updating the permissions, as suggested SimmoF, did. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
In BBS goto advanced and enable root. The under partial wakelocks is apps that are killing your battery.

under kernel wakelocks is system apps that are killing your battery.

Under Alarms is apps that are waking your phone from sleep.

Usually it's what's on top that is the issue. You can resolve it by uninstalling/freezinbg the app.

You may reinstall and see if it's still causing the issue.
