helppppp plzzzzz!!!!!

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.

oh and another thing, it asks for a Google account when i unlock the lock screen but when i enter mine it says not recognized...

so basically i cant even use the phone in any way possible

any help would be appreciated

i'd be more then happy even if i am able to unlock the phone let alone the carrier unlock
[Galaxy S II General] h83d:
thank you for this, I will try it tomorrow, I hope everything will be fine …

I will post any results later...
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Google about "Android fastboot" and you might find a way to do it.
[Galaxy S II General] martin_tokyo:
I have downloaded and installed this latest version, but my GPS is still completely unresponsive. I know the phone works because I did a complete reset over the weekend, and in earlier versions of Android the GPS works.

All other sensors and functions work with this ROM.

What do I need to do to get GPS working? Does the kernel matter (I'm using Siyah 5.0.1)?

(Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 issued in Japan)
[Galaxy S II General] knutola:
I installed it on top of the cm9 and most is working as expected. Some apps are getting duplicated in name like clock, but I made a small script to remove some system apps to fix it. Very thankful for this cm10 version for the sc-02c.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Oh sorry, forgot to mention. I stuck the 4.2 Google Apps on top of the cm10 base.

So this did put 2 clocks on the system.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
I've been playing with the cm10 rom now for a week or two. It's way to buggy for me.

Doesn't work well at all. I'm going to build 1 last cm10 without the 4.2 gapps.

I'm going to build an updated cm9 because it hasn't been updated in a while.

Then I will be experimenting with a new base.

You can pick whichever you like.

Stay tuned.
[Galaxy S II General] martin_tokyo:
Following advice I saw in a post here, I checked out Sakuramilk's page where there is a tweak file that might fix the GPS on my phone.

I downloaded TweakGS2 as a zip file, but it doesn't install. I think it's just a GitHub way of downloading files, not actually a zip for flashing on an Android.

Is there a zip or anything on Sakruamilk's page that I can use to fix my GPS?

Or, in any case, how do I get GPS working on my Docomo Galaxy S2 SC-02C?
[Galaxy S II General] h83d:
same with you, better to wait for updated one...
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
TweakGS2 is an apk configurator for SakuraMilk based kernels. It's similar to the ExTweaks apps for Siyah.

You'd have to extract the zip and install the apk inside.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
OK, I've created a new rom based on the Chameleon rom base.

It's a Samsung backend with AOKP (Google style) interface on top.

So it looks and acts like CM9 but it has the stability and features (such as TV out) of the stock ROM.

This rom will install the Siyah 3.5.2 NTT mod kernel and SC-02C modem.

You can install any other compatable kernel on top if you wish.

I have included all the usual tweaks/fixes.

Please do a wipe/factory reset.

Please let me know of any problems, or comments.

If you want to stream music/videos from your PC, I'd recomend the Plex app. You can get it on Google Play.

The rom will be available soon on Google Drive.
[Galaxy S II General] jerald197:
i installed the leak 4.1.2 JB firmware on my galaxy s2 sc-02c, and when i flash the modem for sc-02c my gps still didnt work.
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:
I think we can make a kernel module to fix gps of the jb leak.

But have no experience of kernel development.

Is there any one can complete gps fix module code here:http://db.tt/QAFbppz3
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
I guess if you could unpack the kernel and hex edit the required value and then repack, it would just work.

It looks like you'd just be changing a string value too.

But I have no experience of this. I've only every modded Windows apps, nothing linux and nothing ARM.
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:
Haha,done!

Ntt gps fix module for JB leak XXLSJ:

New version : http://d-h.st/Q6T

Source code: https://github.com/wjchen/nttgps
[Galaxy S II General] martin_tokyo:
Well... that didn't fix anything.

I can't believe it's so hard to get GPS working on my phone. Where am I going wrong here?

Just to reiterate, I have SimoF's build of CM10, Siyah kernel, docomo SC-02C. Seems like others have the same thing as me, and yet no one else is having GPS not working like I am.

What am I not getting?
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Maybe your phone is defective?

I have put wjchen's awesome gps module into an easy cwm zip installer.

Also it's installing to /system now. PhilZ has init.d so I put the autoboot script in there. :D

How to install a working XXLSJ with GPS.

1. Download an XXLSJ rom. There are many, such as NEAT or WanamLite.

WanamLite http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1436817

NEAT http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1569686

2. Download the latest PhilZ XXLSJ kernel from here (cwm-zip format).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877270

3. On my Google Drive download "Simmo's SC-02C Any Rom Tweaker" and "XXLSJ NTT GPS Fix v.1"

4. Put all the 4 zips onto your sdcard.

5. Backup with Titanium Backup.

6. Reboot to recovery and do a full wipe.

7. Install in this order;

Your choice custom rom

PhilZ latest kernel

8. Goto Advanced->Reboot Recovery

9. Install in this order;

XXLSJ NTT GPS Fix v.1

Simmo's SC-02C Any Rom Tweaker

10. Reboot.

If your GPS is not working, reboot and install the GPS Fix zip again.

If your mobile network is not working, reboot and install the XXLSJ Tweaker again.

If your mobile data is not working, select your apn in mobile network settings.

If you wait a little bit I am making a single zip to install everything. I'll post it early this afternoon.

Enjoy.

And thank wjchen.

Edit: I updated my "Simmo's SC-02C Any Rom Tweaker" to work on the JB leak now. So the XXLPS Tweaker is no longer available. Please use that instead.
[Galaxy S II General] martin_tokyo:
I'm confident that it's not the phone, because when I reset it back to factory conditions, the GPS worked fine. It's only after upgrading that the GPS stops working.

I'll wait on your combined zip file, and try installing it this evening.

Thanks for your efforts, and I'm sorry if I haven't hit the "Thanks" button enough - I'm still working out this forum and just today realized I should be doing that.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Well try the method I posted in my previous post, this morning. It's working for me.
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:
For jb leak XXLSJ,replace file /system/lib/hw/sensors.smdk4210.so may fix compass.

If get sim lock after flash XXLSJ,try this app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1846451
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
There was a bug in the "Simmo's SC-02C XXLSJ Tweaker 20121125.zip"

It was not fixing the compass. All should be well now if you istall the new one.
[Galaxy S II General] Lakitu:
This would be amazing. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
It's available. Just check my Google Drive.
[Galaxy S II General] martin_tokyo:
Followed your isntructions to the letter, and now my phone is working perfectly on all fronts. Compass oriented correctly, GPS working fully, and no problems.

Thanks! Have a coffee on me. :cool:

One minor question if I may... the interface is a little different in this ROM from the Cyanogenmod ones I've been using. How do I get the phone to always connect as a mass storage device? In this interface, when I connect by USB, the notification links to options to connect by MTP or Camera mode, when I just want both internal and external drives to mount as storage devices.
[Galaxy S II General] Lakitu:
Cool. I'm itching to give it a whirl, but it's been a while since I put a ROM on my phone. Right now I'm running Siyah2.6.2 with DlevROM2.

What is the recommended way to set this up? When I was on Linux, I used Heimdall, but I use Win7 now.
[Galaxy S II General] yusuf7x:
I've tried it, and ot work perfect, thanks wjchen0 :)
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
It's a little irritating.

It's in settings, more settings, usb utilities, connect to pc.

There is an init.d script around to make it default.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
SC-02C prices seem to be in free-fall the last few months. Down to 17,500 on musbi.net and seen a few on Rakuten for 14,500. Can only imagine what they'll be like in June once peoples' contracts are all up.

Getting tempted to get a beater just to test stuff on before inflicting on my daily-use phone.
[Galaxy S II General] martin_tokyo:
That is irritating.

I've just tried a few Google searches, but I can't find this particular init.d script. if anyone knows where it can be found, or it's exact name so that it can be searched for, please post it here.

- -

On a related note, now that I have the phone rooted and with all the right drivers, is it possible to change the interface without risking losing all the hardware support? What I mean is, while the Cyanogenmod had maybe too many features of interest to hardcore Android users, it had some things I liked, such as a Google search bar that was permanently attached to every desktop, and the ability to make configurations like forcing USB to always be mass storage, and that kind of thing. The current interface with this ROM is a little simplistic.

It's not worth it if it means flashing a ROM that will change drivers and I might lose GPS again. But I wondered if maybe that level of changing the interface was superfifical enough that it could be done safely.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
In the long term probably best to get used to MTP. There's clear handwriting on the wall that mass storage mode is going the way of the dodo because of all the technical drawbacks.
[Galaxy S II General] martin_tokyo:
I use Ubuntu and MTP sucks on Ubuntu. When I connect my Android by MTP, it says:

Unable to mount SAMSUNG_Android
Error initializing camera: -60: Could not lock the device

Bottom line, I don't care if it's MTP, mass storage, or carrier pidgeon that makes my Android connect to my computer. All I care is that when I plug my Android by USB, I can press one button and my internal and external SD cards appear as drives on my desktop that I can move files to and from, and sync with programs like Banshee, every bit as easily as I was doing previously with the mass storage method.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Well. The Google search bar thing it's a feature in apex launcher. Miui uses Samsung official as a base, you can try that.

I'll poke around for the usb mode script later.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
There is a heimdall for Windows too but I think most Windows users just use Odin. Siyah the install for Siyah now is the same as the normal one we just need to apply a GPS patch after the fact. SimmoF has a pretty good CM10 based ROM that has Siyah 5.0.1 GPS fixes and the SC-02C modem. I am running that one and it runs pretty well for me. You can install his ZIP from recovery and be done.
[Galaxy S II General] Lakitu:
OK, I was looking to use the Chameleon one because I really need TV-out. Would I be right in thinking I just flash this zip file using CWM after renaming it to update.zip. I'm not currently running CM9. Does that make a difference?
[Galaxy S II General] rastamit:
pls. help i need full stock rom

hi guys

i made a mistake and flashed with odin a i9100 rom ...

my device half broken but the good news is that he can go to download mode .

can anybody give me a link to a full stock-rom with kinke that really work?

i have to d.l. full version (boot...pda ..pit ...) dont i?

pls help
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
The new jb has hdmi out
[Galaxy S II General] Lakitu:
That's a nice guide Berrycodes, thanks. As I said, my phone is rooted, unlocked and already running a (fairly old) custom ROM.

I want the stock look with the ability to use the hdmi port as I can on my current ROM.

My problem is that I don't know what method to use to install the zip file provided by simmoF. Having followed the thread and read up elsewhere, I assume I need to just run it through cwm recovery. I'm hesitant to do so without confirmation that this is correct.

My apologies for filling the thread with simple questions.
[Galaxy S II General] BerryCodes:
No clue mate, Never flashed that ROM. But how about you flash the Gingerbread file from my guide and have Kies update to ICS? Or flash an ICS version directly. Then just use a launcher like GO Launcher Ex or Nova Launcher to customize the look you want.

Have you looked at launchers yet? (Yeah I know....this isn't as cool as a custom ROM heh)
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
You can install the ZIP file from recovery. I would probably recommend wiping your phone first though.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Use Odin to flash the tar version of siyah.

Then follow my guide to have a fully working stock jelly bean.
[Galaxy S II General] Lakitu:
Thanks to SimmoF and Chameleon ROM I have a phone that feels much more up to date. The only problems I have are that I get black screens on YouTube and the Camera. Has anyone had this before. A search through the Chameleon ROM thread yielded nothing. Elsewhere people who had this tried switching HQ off on Youtube. This hasn't worked for me. When I close the camera, I very briefly see a picture. Very odd. I made sure to do a full wipe/reset. Can anyone shed any light on this?

HDMI seems to be working, which is fantastic.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Oh that's an issue with sc-02c I think.

Get a root explorer app and set the permissions of /system/lib/hw/hwcomposer.exynos4.so to 640 or rw-r-----
[Galaxy S II General] Lakitu:
This really strange. I can't get /system to mount for rw access. I've tried using Root Explorer and ES File Explorer. Even when these apps tell me they have mounted /system as rw, I can't change the permissions of the file and am told the the file-system is read only.

I've also tried through adb using the following command:

mount -o rw,remount /system

This has yielded the same results. I'm left scratching my head.
[Galaxy S II General] knutola:
You should add a su before the mount command. I usually open the Terminal Emulator app and write the following two lines.

su

mount +o rw,remount /system
[Galaxy S II General] Lakitu:
Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I should have made it clear. I made sure I executed the command as root. Just to make sure, I tried it through the terminal emulator as you suggested. Even though it gave no feedback on the remount command (I used -o rather than +o, was that a typo?), the chmod command still failed due to the file system being read only.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Reboot into recovery and run adb, it's mounted as read write in there
[Galaxy S II General] martin_tokyo:
Lost ability to send SMS

My phone has been successfully updated to 4.1.2 using the instructions SimmoF gave a few pages back for installing the Wanamlite ROM.

I've discovered that I can not send SMS with my phone. I can receive SMS from anyone from any carrier. And I asked at the DoCoMo shop and was told that I have the service enabled and my account with them should be fully operational.

I wouldn't have imagined rooting and upgrading the phone would impact SMS, but that seems to be the case.

How might my SMS functionality be impacted by my current ROM, and how can I fix it?
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
I have similar issues using the stock SMS app. Download Handcent SMS and try using that instead.
[Galaxy S II General] Lakitu:
Well, I tried everything I could think of to get read access to /system, and lots of stuff I couldn't. lol Thanks for the advice everyone. In the end, I flashed Siyah-S2-v5.0i hoping that it would solve my black camera and youtube problem. It worked.

The only thing that still isn't working properly is bluetooth.
[Galaxy S II General] martin_tokyo:
Thanks! I just downloaded and tested Handcent and it works fine.

For some reason I assumed that SMS was more integrated into the phone's system, and that it would be reliant on carrier specific configurations, so I didn't even think that one could simply get a different app. :p

I'm glad it was such an easy solution!
[Galaxy S II General] fujimi:
SimmoF, first of all, thanks for your guide!

Secondly, a couple of notes/questions.

1. I tried installing the CM10 build you have in your Google Drive -- all it got me was a blank screen. Chameleon works fine, though.

2. Is there any way to get rid of the yellow ! under the docomo logo at boot?

3. Ditto for the Siya boot logo?

4. What's up with the Chameleon ROM not having Japanese as an option? How can I get emoji working again?

And... how would I go about restoring my Galaxy S2 to Docomo stock? I might want to sell it a bit down the line, so it would be good to know.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
First off, and this is to everyone here in this thread, I would suggest installing SimmoF's ROM. It is a Samsung based ROM. Almost like what was on your phone when you got it. Sure, there are a few small issues here and there with it. It's not 100% perfect but it is really close. It is also very fast.

From that point, go ahead and then add your favorite launcher and apps and style your phone the way you want. I think there will be a whole lot less questions about other things if some of you tried this first.

The setup I am using is the WanamLite ROM with the PhilZ kernel. I have Spmode and disaster kit working too, thanks again SimmoF.

Known issues I have seen are:

the stock SMS app doesn't send messages. Use a third party app instead.

Sometimes, the lock screen appears to be frozen, just lock and unlock it again.

My alarm clock froze and I couldn't turn it off, I know there will be laughing after reading that. Had to hard reboot it.

Saving contacts sometimes doesn't work. To me this, I believe, is a JB issue as it happened with my CM10 ROM previously. If you can't save your contacts you can try this fix- there are three apps that control contacts. Contacts, Contacts Storage and Dialer Storage. Find them in Application Manager and force stop and clear data on all three. It appears to work better in Titanium Backup (the clear data part), reboot your phone and go under google accounts to resync them. If it works properly your sync should reflect the date and time last synced. If it shows a date from before then it is still not working. Start over. Remember, this is a temp fix and am not sure it will work for everyone.

That's all for now.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
1. Are you using a JB compatible kernel? Try Siyah 5.0.1

2. Yes, get a USB Jig for about $2 or try the app Triangle Away.

3. It's an option in STweaks in the v5 kernel.

4. I don't know. Go ask in the Chameleon thread.

Restoring to stock. Goto sammobile.com and get the SC-02C firmware file and flash it with Odin. There are so many guides around.
[Galaxy S II General] robotsapiens:
My card is the Silver one and I dont have packet shihodai, so I basically only want to send MMS, SMS and occasionally check smthg on internet (if urgent and there is no PC around).

I already tried all these settings from this HP you suggested, but I couldn't download the mms.zip file. However, technically I should be able to access the 3G internet from my phone with it, but it was also not possible. This made me think that maybe the "baseband" from this kernel (am I right here?) is specific for Docomo?

Tomorrow morning I will try a little more... Maybe I will install a different ROM to see if things get better!
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
You need to get market enabler and temporarily set your market mcc/mnc to 44040 before the s!mail app will show up in market. Don't install random .apks you may come across elsewhere. There are several different versions that are customized for specific handsets, but the market version is the most likely to work with an arbitrary handset.

Softbank Problem Solved

Thanks for R3dt3D's link for Modaco I could find on the 3rd page the following settings:

apn carrier="SoftBank Internet"

mcc="440"

mnc="20"

apn="andglobal.softbank.ne.jp"

user="andg001softbank"

password="pumbbghkpgyybsxa"

mmsc="http://mms/"

mmsproxy="andmms.softbank.ne.jp"

mmsport="8080"

type="default,mms"

It works for Silver Sim Cards (the non-iphone ones), no matter if you have packet shihoudai or not (I dont). Just keep the option "Data Network Mode" deactivated, and also install DroidWall to control better which program access your network (and believe me, they do to check for "updates" and send you private info away!)

Now that everything that I need is working, should I install some custom ROM? Still waiting for good sugestions!
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
If you do not care about the !-Triangle at startup and Custom binary count, you could install the 1.5GHz OC CWM kernel (you still can use it @1.2GHz) for CWM recovery. It's good to have backups :)

Hello everyone I`ve recently bought a docomo sgs2 and have it unlocked at a docomo shop. I managed to use my italian vodafone sim card but i`m having a bit of trouble using my softbank black usim. I tried several APNs but I still cannot use internet or receive MMS in 3g mode.. Some help would be really appreciated.. I think that I need to find a APN setting that can resolve both internet and MMS...

P.S. I`m still on stock rom cause Im afraid that if i load the rooted kernel ill lose i will lock my terminal back..

I know I`m a total android NOOB. Thank u

Is there person who could write customed rom into sc02?

Please tell me how to this!
[Galaxy S II General] etternity:
Hi everyone !! I`m really happy cause i finally solved my problem..

If you own a Docomo sgs 2 and you want to use your softbank usim just go to a docomo shop and have it unlocked for 3150 yen. Then you must insert the correct APN values :

Name : iPhone

APN : smile.world

username : dnatrop1

password:so2t3k3m2a

MMSC: h t t p : / / mms/ (write without spaces )

MMSProxy: smilemms.softbank.ne.jp

MMS port: 8080

MMC:440

MNC:20

Authentication Type : pap or chap

APN type: internet + mms

At last install the softbank s!mail apk 1.6 (just google for it) and you`re good to go.

Enjoy your docomo softbank mobile
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Its better to install the one directly off market using the market enabler (set mcc/mnc to 44040).
[Galaxy S II General] etternity:
The problem is that I didn`t root my sgs2 cause im afraid I`ll lock it back as it was before.. Unless someone say me that it`s safe to use a cooked rom..
