You aren't getting Band VI, which would be no good in a major city.
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
OK. Maybe the fact that it is working well has something to do with me living in Okinawa.

Thanks for the help. I will run some tests with over modem version.

flashed samsung galaxy s2 sc-02c ntt docomo with siyah kernel Siyah-s2-v5.0.1.tar but didnt work !! the boot logo load then restatrs again and in addtion there is a yellow exclaimation mark !! what should i do ? i flashed stock firmware also but didnt get suceed

stock firmware name

SC02COMMP4_SC02CDCMMP4_DCM

please some one give me an solution !! as in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1457458

this phone is soft bricked !! but as for the mentioned thread i cant find my stock kernel and bootloader !! !! please help me guys !!
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
Don't worry about the yellow triangle, it just means you are not using a Samsung kernel.

Anyway, not that you are running Siyah Kernel, are you able to get into recovery mode at least?
[Galaxy S II General] kanishkaprasad:
no i cant enter the recovery mode !! either !! still the same as before only i got a yellow thing in addtion !! it resprings at bootloader !! i mean restarts !! and another symptom !1 when i connect the data cable !1 it shows me a battery logo !! but not charging !!
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
Hmmm... I'm really at a loss at this point. I've soft-bricked my phone more times than I can count but Odin and recovery has always brought it back. I can't imagine the bootloader getting damaged and the fact that you can boot to download mode would seem to imply that there is at least some functionality.

You have no idea what caused it to brick?
[Galaxy S II General] kanishkaprasad:
and this happened because of sudden battery loss !! it tuned off !! i ve seen many tablets pcs getting bricked like this !! and ive benn able to recover them as well by flashing stock firmware !! but in this even i cant find a solution to this !! dud dont u have any other solution to this ! is there any thing with partition !! or the boot loader !! ? huh ?? can u please find me the correct boot loader and the kernal for samsung galaxy s2 sc-02c ntt docomo !! please if u can !1 that will be really help full !!
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
That might be something. The problem maybe as simple as the battery not charging. When you have the phone plugged in, does the charging animation every reach full? Have you tried taking the batter out and making sure that the terminals are clean?

I've had experience with other phones and tablets getting pertinently bricked, but the Galaxy S2 is nearly unbrickable (short of messing with some of the advanced settings in Odin or hardware damage).

Out of curiosity, do you have a friend with a Galaxy S2, maybe you could try their battery and see what happens.
[Galaxy S II General] kanishkaprasad:
no dude its terminals are okay !! and no it wont go to the full it only shows up and then restarts !! and same in the bootlogo ! come and go !! ithis loops !!
[Galaxy S II General] Jubei:
Sounds like a failed flash to me. Flashing a proper kernel should fix this. I had similar symptoms when I flashed a wrong kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] kanishkaprasad:
no dude !! this phone was working !! i didnt do anything !! this happened because of a sudden shutdown caused by a battery loss !! after that i couldnt boot !! only up to boot loader !!

have any ideas ?
[Galaxy S II General] Jubei:
First borrow a friend's battery (or go to the store and ask to borrow one) see if that's the problem (though I doubt it). I'd say boot in recovery mode and flash/clear cache, dalvnik cache etc. If that doesn't work do a factory reset. If that doesn't work then I have no idea... Re-Flash using Odin.
[Galaxy S II General] kanishkaprasad:
nothing works

nope !! this cant boot into recovery !!! i fashed with odine with stock !! and no installed siyah kernel !! nothing !! my friend watsonmf also tried giving the bootloadre and pit files to do a stock repartition and a firmware flash but its the sam e!! i dont know earlier i thought it s soft brick but now i think and its a NAND rW coruption !! and the most stange thing is this was caused by a sudden power down !! cause by battery loss !

If anyone is stopping by a Docomo shop this week could you ask them if S4 comes with pink sim or normal Xi?
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
What's the difference? It is an Xi phone. I'll message my DoCoMo friend with your question though.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Pink sim includes NFC-A Secure Element. Its an optional but free upgrade for most of the spring line models. Lets you make iD-based payments overseas on Mastercard NFC terminals (and anything else that requires NFC-A SE).
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
This is what she said, "The pink one.

you need to change to micro SIM card! "
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Good, guess they're including pink SIMs by default on all phones which support them now.

I really like the 10.1 look but the lack of GPS and the fact that the battery is drained so fast is a no-go for me. Any advice on how to deal with these issues? (I'd be willing to flash some other kernel to test). Also I keep seeing talk about "radio". What is that? Do I need to flash a different radio or something? If yes where should I get it?

Many thanks in advance!

Sorry for the noob post but may i know how to install these in my sc02c? I've been reading and reading but there are no steps/tutorials. Thank you so much and more power to you all!!

help please

Im getting a status 7 when install cyanogenmod 10.1 remix. Help please thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] takoyaki17:
Ok.First change the battery and usb cable you are using.

Next,do this to another PC.

Then,try flashing the stock firmwares (ROM,kernel,modem) via odin

If no good...try flashing stock firmware via heimdall.

Useful links are here http://www.japanmobiletech.com/2011/10/sc-02c-helpful-documentation-and-links.html?m=1 all credits to him.

Sample of heimdall command:

heimdall flash --cache cache.img --factoryfs factoryfs.img --hidden hidden.img --modem modem.bin --param param.lfs --kernel zImage

Use this for kernel and baseband (modem.bin) flashing.

Now my phone is locked. How do i unlock this? Please help

What do you mean locked?

Network locked

The phone has no network and it keeps on saying need unlock netwotk key

thankz guys my phone is back in buisness !! :) thank you all !! and Special thankz to my friend watsonmf
[Galaxy S II General] kanishkaprasad:
is it a must to root the device to do the unlock process ????
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
No, docomo will do it for 3150 yen without root.
[Galaxy S II General] kanishkaprasad:
no i mean the above posted method ? is it a must to root the device if we are unloking galaxy s2 sc-02 !!
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
Based on the post that you shared I would guess that it is required ("we only needed to root the SC-02C in order to unlock it"). Anyway, rooting this phone is pretty easy so you should be able to root it in a few minutes. If you want to unroot, just flash back to stock Docomo once you are done unlocking.
[Galaxy S II General] kanishkaprasad:
yes dude !!! but will the process of rooting bring the phone to its previous state ? u know how it was right !! duh :mad:

and can u tel me a way of rooting this !!

Why are you being so aggressive toward people who are going out of their way to help you?
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
Sorry, He's a friend and we've been going back and forth over the past week to get his phone fixed up. No one's being rude. ;)

So far we have brought the phone from looping the boot screen and unable to even get into recovery to being fully functional minus the menu and back buttons. The buttons don't even work in recovery so I am guessing that something that we did while fixing the phone did damage to them. Solution that I am thinking about is installing CM10.1 and setting up the Nexus-style soft buttons. He would lose a little bit of screen space but the phone would be fully operational.

Please let me know if anyone has any idea concerning fixing his phone.

Thanks!

Need help

Hello guys,

I've never tried rooting and installing custom ROMS. But I have a Docomo Galaxy S2 (SC-02C) and I wan't to root it but I've been confused of all the files needed. And I'm not sure what is the correct file to download for the version of my phone.

Currently, I only wan't to have root access...then maybe just continue from there to installing custom ROMS.

Here are the current information of my phone:

- Android Version: 4.0.3

- Baseband Version: SC02COMMP4

- Kernel Version: 3.0.15-1196328se.infra@SEP-113 #3 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jan 21 20:20:16 KST 2013

- Build Number: IML74K.OMMP4

Can anyone help me and teach me how to root my phone?

Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
Do you have Odin and all the necessary drivers installed on your computer?
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:
Wow, haven't checked in in a while...anyway, using 4.2.1 aosp (Evervolv) and not getting GPS

Reading back through the thread, looks like I need a custom kernel. Siyah 5.0.1 fails to boot the OS,

so I'm looking for the KBC kernel for sc02c. Found the github page...do I need to build the kernel myself,

or are there .zip files posted somewhere?
[Galaxy S II General] rueljsaunar:
help...

Thanks for the reply.

Yes,I downloaded Odin already.

I also have the drivers for my phone since I was able to use Kies to put files on it.
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
It looks like KBC developers just shut down their public support, so no more updates from them in the near future.

Anyway, I still have all the most recent SC-02C files uploaded to my dropbox so feel free to download them from me.

Full CM10.1 20130518 SC-02C rom (Here)

AOSP 4.2.x kernel 20130519 (Here)

If you want a clean install of everything download and install the full CM10.1 and install Gapps

If you want to keep your current rom and just update the kernel, install the AOSP kernel.

Let me know if you have any trouble.

---------- Post added at 05:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

OK. All you have to do is download and install Siyah Kernel 5.01 (Here)

I think you will need to also install SimmoF's AnyRom Patch in order to get the GPS working. Go to his XDA forum here and click on the link to his Google Drive in his signature. From Google Drive, download the most recent copy of his patch.
[Galaxy S II General] rueljsaunar:
help...

After installing all these, will all my data be erased? I mean, my app data and files?

Thank you again...
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
No everything will be left alone. It is, however, ALWAYS a good idea to back your data up before messing with anything.
[Galaxy S II General] rueljsaunar:
help...

By backup, what should I backup and how? Sorry for the question...my phone is still unrooted, locked and stock. Still afraid that I might lose my data.
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
What data are you afraid you might lose? That's the data you should backup.
[Galaxy S II General] rueljsaunar:
thanks...

Ok. Thanks for the help. I'll try rooting my phone. I hope nothing goes wrong.
[Galaxy S II General] rueljsaunar:
Thanks...

Thanks sir watsonmf!

I was able to root my phone by installing Siyah 5.0.1.

However, I haven't installed simmoF's any rom patcher.

In order to install this, will I also be using Odin? And use PDA button to select the patcher?
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
No, Anyrom patcher is a Zip file and must be flashed in recovery mode.

First off, though, is everything working on your phone? GPS, Compass?
[Galaxy S II General] rueljsaunar:
thanks...

I think GPS is not working. In Maps->Navigation, the message "Searching for GPS..." is always displayed.

And GPS icon is not displayed in status bar on top of the screen.

Do I need to put the zip file in my External SD Card and use CWM Recovery to install it?

Thanks always!

UPdate...

I already installed the any rom patcher and the gps is already working.

The gps status icon is already displyed in the status bar when I'm using maps.

THank you very much for all the answers.

Next time, I may try rom updating...need to read more
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
Glad I could help.

I've been running custom roms on my S2 since exactly two days after I bought it, but your need for a custom rom depends entirely on why you want to do with your phone. If you are perfectly happy with your stock experience then there really is no reason to go through the hassle of installing and customizing a different rom.

If, however, you feel like you need a little bit more speed or customization than what stock offers, and you don't mind playing around with your phone a little bit, then it might be time to start considering custom roms (personnally I prefer AOSP roms like Cyanogenmod, but that can be a challenge to get working and stable on this device).
[Galaxy S II General] rueljsaunar:
Exactly

Exactly why I'm afraid of installing custom rom.

There are a lot of tutorials and files for installing custom roms but its different for our phone.

I'm glad there is a dedicated thread here for SC-02C.

AOSP can work with my siyah kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
The older versions of Cyanogenmod can work with Siyah, but the newer ones won't. Not to worry though, there are special kernels made just for CM10.1 on the SC-02C.
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:
looks like the kbc developers roms and kernels have been taken down.

or I'm looking in the wrong places...
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
Yeah, they have. I provided links to the most recent nightly rom and kernel two pages back. Hopefully they will be able to continue public support sometime in the future.

Hi, I have SC-02C just like rueljsaunar and I was able to install Siyah Kernel (Siyah-s2-v5.0.1.tar as available from SimmoF's GDrive) using Odin. However, after that I tried to install the custom ROM - SC02C-JB-MR1-KBC-20130519-AOSP-signed as provided by watsonmf but that seems to have bricked my phone! Am doing something wrong? Do I need to install CM10.1 as well, or are these Siya Kernel and AOSP ROM not compatible?

I an noob in all this so please bear with my silly questions!
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
That's not a rom. That's an AOSP kernel for CyanogenMod.

Download the other file from my post two pages ago and install that, or just flash back to siyah kernel. Your phone should be fixed.
[Galaxy S II General] roopak.chauhan:
Thanks a lot. I flashed back to Siyah Kernel and all was well! :) Now I am trying to install the CyanogenMod zip file that you refer, but after installing successfully and rebooting my phone, the screen is now stuck at CM logo. Is this expected? Am I to install anything more? Am I missing something .. yet again! :(

Once again thanks for your prompt response. Really appreciate it!
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
Did you wipe data before updating to CM10.1?

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

Sorry, I should have been a lot more thorough in explaining the process.

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

1 - download CM10.1 and gapps 0301 zip to your phone's microsd.

2 - boot to recovery

3 - wipe cache, dalvik, system, and data

4 - install BBC CM10.1 ROM

5 - install Gapps

6 - reboot. It will take about 2 or 3 minutes to rebuild the dalvik cache before you reach the setup screen.
[Galaxy S II General] roopak.chauhan:
Thanks. I read another thread and did the following (as you suggested above as well):

1. Wipe data factory reset

2. Wipe cache/dalvik

3. Flash CM 10.1 again

4. Reboot

It worked! Thanks for the help!

Cheers,

Roopak

PS: Now I am going install the gapps to link my phone to google account :)
[Galaxy S II General] roopak.chauhan:
It worked but now my phone is unable to connect to internet via NTT DoCoMo data package. Do I need to do something for that as well?
[Galaxy S II General] E43JAP:
Did you set the spmode APN?
[Galaxy S II General] roopak.chauhan:
Err..probably not! How do I do that? How do I do that?

Ok I got this working by adding an Access Point. Please see this for details
[Galaxy S II General] E43JAP:
Menu button

System Settings

More...

Mobile networks

Access Point Names

Menu button

New APN

Now you can set "Name" to whatever you want

Next set "APN" to spmode.ne.jp

Next set "MCC" to 440

Next set "MNC" to 10

Now the Menu button again and "Save APN"

Now you should be able to select the new APN, wait a few seconds and it should connect.

Hope this has helped.:cool:

[Galaxy S II General] 173210:
I built the new ROM and kernel.

Notice that it isn't KBC's build.

But it based on KBC's source code.

I joined in KBC so the next ROM and kernel will be released by KBC.

I tried using some of the other SC02C modems and patches in CWM but they just ended up borking my modem, so I gave up on CWM and did the modem install the manly way:

Hi. Need help.

hi. anyone know how to unlock sc-02c for free? sadly, i do not have a credit card. i am using galaxy s unlocker by helroz. it works just fine on my phone's stock rom (ICS 4.0.3 and Siyah Kernel 5.0.1). but when i installed any custom roms, it won't work. please help me.
[Galaxy S II General] eternalcrewthiago:
I am looking forward to your work!!
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
In my experience, unlocking has persisted across multiple different rom flashes. The only problem that I've had is that some roms don't have the samsung codes to pull up the hidden menus to verify that the phone is unlocked, but it actually still is unlocked.

Also, I've experienced what looks like memory leaks in the nightly 20130610 kernel I posted above, I reverted to an earlier (mid may) kernel and not had the issue yet. The system would begin to act sluggish when using a lot of ram, then just slowly die until it finally completely locked and rebooted on its own.
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
Yeah switching from 20130610 kernel to 20130519 fixed it. No more crashes or memory leaks. Everything seems to be running great.
[Galaxy S II General] 173210:
BLN may cause crash on 0613 kernel.

Disable BLN and test the kernel.

If your phone crashed when BLN is disabled, please tell me.

I've messed with my APNs, made sure that data mode was enabled, made sure I also had the correct network operator as well. I see nothing but worthless posts through the google android help forums.

UPDATED...who ever knew the answer was just several posts above mine. Right when I was about to give up and flash back to stock I tried it. So if anyone else has the same issues give this a try!
[Galaxy S II General] hatteroo:
so now Slim-i9100-4.2.2.build.6-OFFICIAL is pissing me off...when running some apps like tunein radio and a few others it will crash/freeze my phone and I have to restart it. Anyone else experience this? Thanks.
