You and I have had this exact same conversation before:o

Again, I did a complete reinstall and rechecked my apn. No luck. So I'm sitting in the waiting room at the eye doctor with time to kill... thought I'd fiddle with the spmode apn settings a bit. I changed the APN Type from "internet" to blank. Lo and behold I can haz data. :what:

Still don't have a clue as to why my phone freaked out the other day, but I'm up and running on siyah 3.3.1 and Fridays Cm9 build.

Japan mobile tech saved the day again!
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Lol, I thought that might have been you :)

I had to fiddle with the APN settings when I was in the US to get it working on ATT prepaid. I changed mine from mms to internet and got free data since they thought I was on a flip phone. Although it was only an Edge connection.
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:
@zaphod777

As an epilogue, I went to the local Docomo shop and had them remove me from spmode. Now I'm mpr2.bizho.net ftw.

I'll be heading back to the US for a month in August, would you recommend getting the GS2 unlocked? Where did you get your prepaid sim? I'll be checking JMT because I think I saw something about it over there, but since we're chatting here...
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
I think others here have been able to unlock with an app in the play store. This one, I think

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helroz.galaxysunlock

But I just paid to have mine unlocked since at the time it was not possible. Don't take my word for it though double check that that app works before trying it.

I ordered a ATT SIM from Amazon and had it sent to my parents and activated it online.

http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/plans/prepaidplans.html

Since the sc02c doesn't support all AT&T frequencies coverage was a bit spotty at times but not terrible.

I didn't buy the extra smart phone data plan and just used the unlimited 1 month plan and got data to work after fiddling with the apn. When activating I said I had an old Motorola razor flip phone and gave a fake imei probably not necessary though since my imei wasn't in their DB.

Your mileage may very since they may have closed the data loop hole.

I suffered a bootloop fail today.

Due to some reason, I have to turnoff the phone and pulled out the battery for an hour.

After the phone restart, the cm9 rc1 installed in 2nd rom stucks in boot logo.

Finally only wipe data in cwm can solve the problem.

Does any one know the issue?

Thanks.

Clement

I've got the same case with rc1 today, luckily i ve dual boot with stck rom as contingency.

After an hour battery removal, my cm9 suffers infinite bootloop. Only format cache in cwm works.

Dun know why.

@wjchen0

Hi wjchen0, can i ask u for help again?

There is new kernel called darkknight, i heard many positive feedback about that kernel, especially about battery life

Can you recompile that kernel for work on our devices?

Many many thanks for you

Sorry for my bad english:)
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:
@clement

I don't think I have any log files left from my CM9 freakout, do you? How long had your CM9 install been installed before it freaked out? I installed in May, and was ok for two months. Perhaps a memory leak?
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:
I compiled it 3 days ago...

[Galaxy S II General] yusuf7x:
Wwoow, thank u so much wjchen0. :)
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
A memory leak would be resolved with a reboot. Most likely an app with root access touched something it shouldn't have or maybe it is a sign of the internal storage showing its age.

If had similar issues with CM9 before but it usually happened after flashing a nightly and being lazy about wiping the data before updating.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Had anyone had some trouble with the latest Siyah 3.3.3? The GPS has stopped working for me. Also is it possible for someone to compile a version with working Oneseg? I'm looking at you wjchen. :)
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
I didn't notice that there was a new one. 3.3.2 has been pretty rock solid for me. I don't really see any reason to update the kernel until required to by CM9.

I assume you re-applied the GPS fix?
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:
I'd hate to think the internal storage is going bad...

Is there something like dmesg or var.log for troubleshooting android?

derrr.... Linux だから　dmesg works from the terminal.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
I can flash the 3.3.2 over the top and the GPS works again. It'd be nice to get oneseg on it too.
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:
The siyah 3.3.3 removed ntt support. :mad:

Follow sakuramilk's step , 1-seg may work with siyah kernel,but I can't test it.

Nevertheless，I'll have a try tonight.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Yeah, that would suck. Typically I will do the permission fix from recovery and if that doesn't work wipe/install latest nightly. I have only really had it go wonky on me once or twice.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
On a side note, I dropped my phone hard today onto tile. The cover flew off sending the battery flying and everything. The screen didn't even crack or scratch, except now I noticed I have a slight purple discoloration in the bottom right of the screen :-/

I can only notice it with a white background but it is pretty noticeable once you see it. Although I didn't notice it when I was playing FF3 on my train ride.

official ICS on SC-02C

Hi ,

I live in Israel.

I have ICS on my phone ( I got SC-02C) but the version that i have called "Open Europe". The kernnel and the modem is not compatiable with the SC-02C, but the phone is functioning (No GPS and some reception problems).

Now i notice there is an official ICS for the SC-02C on Sammobile .

I downloaded it extracted the zip file and dound 2 files : .tar and dll.

I am using Odin so i turn my phone to "download mode" and tried to flash the .tar file as PDA in Odin. unfortiontly it fails in the middle (stop in the step of burning the

<ID:0/006> factoryfs.img step).

After that i trid to flash again the packege of the offial "Open Europ" also from Sammobile and with the same way and it works quit good.

Am i doing somthing wrong ?should i return to other OS and kernnel befor flashing that one ?

Help Pls ....:)

Ran
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
This happens to me sometimes. Reboot the PC, reboot the phone. Connect to a different USB port. Don't touch the cable or phone at all during flashing. This always fixes my issues. Good luck.

Edit: or you can use MobileOdin.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
The camera is not working. Sakura Milk had the same problem.
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:
More details?

You mean use this kernel with stock ics OMLPG and camera not working?

If that,It's hard for me to test it.

Because I'm using CM9 and feel good.I will not flash stock OMLPG rom...
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Yes, stock Samsung OMLPG.

I tested 3.3.2 3.3.3 3.3.3b

They work with the international roms but not OM roms.

The camera app loads but the viewfinder image appears black but when you press home the camera images quickly appears correctly.

I think is an issue between the international ics kernel and the Japanese ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:
You can try stock OMLPG kernel.

Old bootloader/firmware to use with USB jig

Hi,

The camera on my sc-02c has given up hardware-wise, going to try to get it repaired under warranty.

I've had various custom ROMs on it and now back to stock (COMKJ4 from sammobileDOTcom) using odin.

Trying to reset flash counter. Used a usb jig I bought and a homemade one but the counter does NOT reset.

After a Google about it seems I need an older official bootloader (or full firmware if available) which supports usb jig. Back on page 94 of this thread SimmoF says "you just need to flash the KF2 secondary bootloader which is found at the start of this thread", I followed the links but the links for multiuploadDOTnl seem to be broken :(

Does anyone have an sc-02 bootloader which supports usb jig? Any live links? a old complete firmware would be even better!

If no one has one, can I flash an internataional SGS2 bootloader, immediately after using the usb jig then odin flash an up-to-date sc-02c firmware?

Also my wife has just got a second hand sc-02c which came with Android 2.3.3 on it. Any ideas on how to extract the firmware or bootloader? If any one else wants anything from her phone while it is on an old version (for their own resetting/de-bricking purposes) let me know (with help on how to do it if it is technical). Her phone won't be rooted.

Thanks for any help.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Hi, there are 2 sc-02c bootloaders. One came on the original SC-02C and one is a newer bootloader that came on phones after about 6 months after it's release. I know this because my first phone had a jiggable bootloader, it was returned on warranty, my new phone was not jiggable. Anyhow I have the original bootloader flashable with Odin, but you can also use Chainfire's triangleaway app that also resets the download count.

The sbl can be found here, on my Dropbox folder. Goto the SC-02C folder and download SBL-SC02COMKF2.zip flash the contents with Odin.

Enjoy!

The stock kernel works fine, but is rather sucky compared to Siyah, don't you think? Well if Siyah was working properly that is. :D
[Galaxy S II General] jaybot80:
Thanks..

To SimmoF,

Thanks!!! Used the old bootloader from your Dropbox and it worked a treat.

Was going to try Chainfire's triangleaway app if all else failed but was hesitant - any body have any experience that works with sc-02c?

Will be updating my wife's sc-02c to the newest android in a few days so, as said earlier, let me know if anyone wants something extracted from it.

Are there any good articlse for extracting stuff from the stock firmware?
[Galaxy S II General] rogeriok:
YES,triangle away worked for me.

New Siya's kernel 3.3.3c supports our ntt Docomo s2 again :-)
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:

A sad sad day

It is with great sadness that I have to say my SC-02C screen is not long for this Earth. After a pretty hard drop the whole screen is turning purple, gray, then black. I'm not sure how much time it has left but it seems to be getting worse by the day.

Does anyone have a broken one with a functioning screen, or want to buy a SC-02C that otherwise works fine?

Also, what are your thoughts on the GS3 or the Galaxy Nexus?
[Galaxy S II General] checcoa3:
Thanks for the reply.

So I can update easily via Kies PC?

The sim lock is installed in another software?

Thank you very much

[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Not sure if this means anything but Docomo did have a message out about making sure that your Flash player was updated prior to installing the ICS upgrade. You may just have to start over.

I rooted with Siyah 3.3.2 and then reflashed the stock kernel.

My YouTube works just fine.

hi everyone here. i got a Xperia SO-03D - which is the equivalent of Xperia Acro S (the international version)..

thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Root the phone then Install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether

You need to unlock your phone, find some software or pay DoCoMo to unlock it. I think an emobile sim just works in DoCoMo phones.

News on Docomo SGS2 ICS update still on hold

Well if you been out the loop heres what is going on with the ICS update.

After receiving the update to ICS, some handsets began experiencing persistent keyboard force closures that made text input virtually impossible. Clearing the data for the keyboard application (Samsung日本語キーパッド) may alleviate the problem.

この度、「GALAXY SII SC-02C」において、Android4.0へOSバージョンアップを実施後、一部の端末において、キーボードが強制終了し文字入力ができない事象が発生する場合があることが判明いたしました。

Updates began rolling out on 7/3 and were halted the next day. For the current update status, check the official update page. It is currently still listed as "temporarily suspended" (一時中断). There is no ETA for when a fix will be ready. Once this happens, the status should change to something along the lines of 再開 (resumed).

Here, we've received no reports of flakey keyboards specifically with updated handsets. Instead, we're hearing of general instability compared to the previous Gingerbread OS.

2 questions. Do you know docomo's stock info?

model #, baseband, kernal version and build number. I want to see how close mine is

Do you think If i bring it to docomo they can reset everything back to factory settings including the baseband and everything to how it was when i bought the device? I only had it for a week and signed up for the warrenty program.
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
heimdall

Heimdall works on Windows aswell.

I never tried but I think you can do the dd trick on all partitions?

some people got BB image, u might ask them to send it to u.

DoCoMo won't give any warranty to modded devices.

They will exchange but u will need to pay another 6man yen.

I heard some people are bricking the phone totally and use warranty

at this point what is the best option for this phone?

From my reading if you put a custom ROM you lose TV support. Is there a way to just root the phone without having to switch rom's and then flash the factory kernel again?

What is the advantage of running the custom ROM over the stock one?
[Galaxy S II General] devilangellus:
I'm not a professional but you can just root your s2 with odin and superoneclick then apply the mmcblk0p5 patch that you can get on the page 7.

I have a root s2 with everything working well (gps, tv support too)
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
just burn the factoryfs for root with stock kernel
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:

It's selling only in Japan?
[Galaxy S II General] ManInCamo:
This DoCoMo branded one is only available from ntt docomo as far as I know.

Just curious, why do you want this version instead of the standard international one?
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
are you saying with my rooted, stock kerneled, SC02C from Docomo that is all I have to do and Docomo will not charge me? What about the dun_tether_required thing? Does that app already change that for you so Docomo doesn't charge you?
[Galaxy S II General] devmaster321:
Try flashing a new kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
I don't want a different kernel just yet. I like knowing, even though I never use it, that one seg tv works properly. I do not want to have to screw with any gps issues or fixes either. So I leave my kernel stock.

I just want to know how to get wifi tethering working without Docomo charging me extra each month.

if a kernel comes out specifically for the sc02c that keeps everything intact like stock then I may go that route.

Or if someone has a way to set it up properly... English instructions that is.
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:
I went into network settings and deleted all the APNs I didn't need. Specifically, the mopera.net APN is the one DoCoMo smartphones default to when tethering is turned on. Any packet exchange on that APN generates the 3-4000yen "tethering charge". While I can't guarantee this will give you free tethering, I think its a good thing to do in general. Keeps me from making expensive mistakes:-)

The only APN I have on my APN list now is the mpr.bizho.net APN, and it works fine for me.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
If that is the only one won't it prevent spmode from working?

Also, I can't check if it worked until my next bill, unless you know a way to check.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
I'm not sure what you mean but...

- If you have a Docomo phone and you plan to remove the Docomo sim and put in another sim from another provider, Docomo won't charge you.

- If you have a Docomo phone and a Docomo sim and you want to enable tethering on your sp-mode package. You will need to set the tether_dun_required=0 and then it will be fine. My phone only has 3 apns but there is a 4th secret one (dcmtrg.ne.jp) which is somehow enabled if you enable tethering without this setting.

You can root the phone without changing the kernel. You need to root the phone to set this value.

I hope this helped.

My original source. Also I have been using free tethring for 6 months. :D
[Galaxy S II General] rogeriok:
if you want to tethering for free you must use a docomo's Xi smartphone like the new galaxy s3 and many others and you can talk for free with any docomo user.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Ok so I did the following:

Deleted the "bad" APN. The one that it gets switched to when tethering.

Then I downloaded the SQLEditor in your source article. (I can't read Japanese but the images were in English so I followed the pics, lol.)

Found the settings.db file and added the tether_dun_required=0 setting.

The only thing that doesn't appear to work on ICS is the code to check it when turned on. Does nothing.

I turned on tethering (the OS version in settings) and went into the APN settings and the sp APN was checked. Hope that means that all is good. Guess I'll wait for the next bill to verify it unless anyone knows another way to verify it.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] rogeriok:
you can check your bill in docomo home page "my docomo" type your phone number and your password,if you don't know your password ask in docomo shop.
[Galaxy S II General] tommyrumbler:
i got a SO-03D xperia HD, network unlocked. i live outside of Japan (my current carrier is SMART-Phi[Manila]) and i knew right from the start Docomo places SIM-restriction on data-sharing via tethering.

all i ever did was do the known workaround where you pull settings.db in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases edit it on your PC using SQLite software. (1)delete docomo entry and (2)replace "1" value to "0" for "tether_dun_required" . restart device and it's done.

now you're phone is free from tether restrictions regardless of the SIM you use and Docomo won't be able to identify whether you're sharing data via tethering.
