First step was no go.

That is rooting, no rooted kernel file is suitable in that source.

Any more ideas please?

[Galaxy S II General] mr_villagomez:
Did you download the necessary drivers for your phone? It's very difficult to help you if you don't give information about the steps you took and anything else you noticed.

Let me backtrack and find the file I used and I'll upload it to google drive and give you the link.
[Galaxy S II General] 3shmaoy:
According to the previous advice to follow this post

http://xdaforums.com/show...26190&page=217- Page 217

The 1st step was to get the "file for the rooted Kernel for SC-02C"

from the url below

http : / / www . jayceooi . com / 2011 / 08 / 03 / download-cf-root-for-samsung-galaxy-s2 /

My kernel was not listed in that page & when someone asked about it before

that was the reply he got

That was all so I couldn't even start since I don't have the rooted kernel file.

Already have the drivers though since Kies is working fine using it to backup the phone.

That's all, Thanks =)
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
There is no cfroot for sc02c. You need to switch to siyah-ntt (gb/ics) or philz (:/) to get everything working
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
I used CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KF2-v4.0-CWM4.zip successfully on the original OMKF2 image back in 2011. (Of course without working GNSS or One-Seg)
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
That's what I mean, it breaks stuff.

Of course the root works. I used it too. But you need to reflash afterwards.

Some how I can't find the one-seg application any more.

Can I download the apk from somewhere?

TIA

Kernel 3.015-1233969 se.infra@SEI-32 #3 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jul 10 18:50:05 KST 2013

Build IML74K.OMMP7

Carrier: Softbank (unlocked probably by previous owner not Docomo)
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
The one seg app is on the docomo firmware only. It's called MobileTV.

It will not work on another rom.
[Galaxy S II General] 3shmaoy:
Thanks

First, I thought the firmware I have is already a docomo one (SC02COMMP7)!!

I just re-updated with Kies so retreive that app but still nothing.

Anyway can you help me,

do you know where I can download the docomo firmware you are referring to.

Regards
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Use sammobile.com, I found the latest here.
[Galaxy S II General] mr_villagomez:
Download from samfirmware.com... Fyi you gotta register first
[Galaxy S II General] 3shmaoy:
That turned out to be that the latest firmware is also the one I am having.

Still didn't get the missing MobileTV app.

So the phone kept as it is unlocked & not rooted.

Thanks to SimmoF telling me the app name "MobileTV". I managed to download it from the internet (sorry forgot where from).

When trying to install it manually I got the following error.

"Application not installed an existing package by the same name with conflicting signature is already installed"

Searching I found similar posts to this

http://technosamigos.com/how-to-resolve-conflicting-signature-error-android-apk/

Started looking for that old app uninstall.

I couldn't find it, searched if I had any hidden apps still not.

I tried different file & apps managers still no luck (phone is not rooted not much).

I found a disabled category in bottom of long the stock app manager & it was one of it.

I found the MobileTv app with other old Docomo apps that I never used & didnt notice that were missing too.

Since it disappeared right after Kies update, I think it some how made those apps obsolete & disabled, not sure.

Anyway after enabling, it is now working normal.

Thanks for the help.

I'm from Brazil and just bought a Galaxy S2 Docomo SC-02C. I unlocked using the app GalaSIM Unlock and now the phone is working very fine with my SIM but i can´t get a 3G connection with my plan. I'm using the SIM of TIM. Someone get the same problem with 3G after unlock the phone?
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
AFAIK, TIM uses Band I 2100MHz, same as Docomo, APN settings would be the first thing I would check.

I think they still work with an otg cable and usb hub

Even after re-running the "galaxysim unlock"

Thanks for your help.

Re-flashing the rooting kernel then using sim unlock worked.

But not totally stable, some times after restart it is still locked.

I keep restarting till it works.

Once it is working avoiding restarting, works for now.

But I also realised now that I lost the camera view finder.

I guess I can use your Any Rom Tweaker for that, am I right?

I searched but could find out which tool to use to apply it & how.

Sorry for the novice questions.

Any news on GPS fix for 4.4?

The first file that it's referencing in the scipt doesn't exist on my phone. (rom_feature_set)

Running CM11-20140204-UNOFFICIAL-i9100 (4.4.2)

Everything works like a charm, but no GPS.
[Galaxy S II General] 3shmaoy:
Thanks it worked, the viewfinder is now working.

But I lost the root again.

Auto rotate is not working either.

I guess something with sensors including the proximity sensor & light sensor.

I tried to get root again by flashing

CWM-SuperSU-v0.75.

It worked but lacked SuperSU, so I followed by flashing UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip.

I was following this link

http://androidforums.com/funbook-all-things-root/545889-guide-rooting-installing-cwm-recovery.html

Situation now is that I got root/superSU back but still the phone sensors are not working.

Phone calls is a problem with the screen on all the time.

Rotation is totally manual using rotation locker.

Camera without light sensor have to set brightness/contrast manually all the time.

Tried reinstalling "Simmo's SC-02C Any-Rom Tweaker 20130706.zip"

Ended up stuck at boot with updating application screen.

Of course lost the root again.

After searching around & tried the following one after another

1- wiped the cache from cwm recovery

2- wiped the dalvik cache

3- fixed permissions (may be hour or more)

Now its working just a bit sluggish sometimes.

Also sometimes at boot gets the updating applications screen for a few seconds.

Not really sure I understand the meaning of all this,

But hope it would be helpful for anyone having such problem.
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
Well I got this aging pile of crap working, mostly.

1. Flash a kernel with CWM.

2. Flash omni-4.4.2-20140202-sc02c-HOMEMADE.zip and the

3. S99FixNTTGPS_cwm.zip

Then, since for some very odd reason it doens't come with root included. So also flash this:

4. UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.91.zip

So you get root.

Then I also had to flash a gapps for kitkat, since the swype function on the android keyboard that came with Omni was not working right for me:

5. Slim_AIO_gapps.4.4.2.build.3.zip

Now my GPS and everything works great.

.... But USB Mass Storage doesn't seem to work for me even after trying:

#su

#setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage;reboot

I'll host and post. All the files that I used for this will be located in the usual place:

http://blacklinux.com/pages/public/computers/android/SC02C/

Hopefully this will be the end of the line for me on this phone. My screen cracked (welding splatter) and I want something with a 1080p display.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] fleetingeyes:
Thanks for the kernel! The kernel fixed my GPS issue, whoo hoo *celebrates*:cool:
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
I'm pretty sure google killed usb mass storage
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
Yeah it's terrible. I've got to go into recovery mode and mount USB to do run my rsync scripts now for backups.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Mtp is much better for most users
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
Fine and dandy, but doesn't require removing mass storage :)
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
UMS really had to go. Having to rescan the whole sdcard (and potentially breaking running apps that want to keep files on the card open) for media every time you plug it into a PC wasn't feasible any more.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Omni is deliberately non-rooted out of the box. This enables use cases for people whose work BYOD policies forbid rooted devices.
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
Again, Fine and dandy. Warn me, etc, but keep the feature. Google seems to do this very often. Latitude, offline maps, etc.. Sucks.

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

It should, IMO, come rooted, and there's almost always the option to unroot in whatever SU program you are using.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
How much warning do you want? The handwriting was clearly on the wall 2 years ago when AOSP required it to be explicitly compiled into ICS builds and the point was hammered home 6 months later when it was entirely removed from AOSP.

Some of the corporate policy enforcement clients for byod (cough)tivoli(cough) are quite persistent that there be absolutely no trace lingering around.
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
I mean "warn me" like... in the operating system, warn me that I'm about to do something that is not supported or recommended. Not "warn me" like, "I should have seen this coming".

:good:

There still has to be a way to completely remove root and all traces with some action performed as root. Must be.

FSCK you IBM. FSCK you.

I'll bet the differential on download counts for the OMNIROM and for the SU for it are not that far off...

Should tell you something. ;)

[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
I've been running an official i9100 CM11 nightly on my test SC-02C for a couple days now. It seems to be progressing nicely. Its as good or better with stock kernel as Pound was with Gustavo's kernel at this point. wjchen0's GPS fix seems to work nicely still. Oh, and in case you're coming from a KBC build, asserts for SC-02C are already in the installer so no need to hack install script any more.
[Galaxy S II General] embabi:

Could you guide me to root my phone as yours?

I've SC-02C with OMLPL Stock ROM.

[Galaxy S II General] Jubei:
Hi. Could you please let us know where you got the kernel that works with the CM11 nightly? Also which nightly are you referring to?

The standard CM11 kernel for i9100 works fine. Just need to apply wjchen0's GPS fix.
[Galaxy S II General] nadoor:
i have a problem

i have a sumsung galaxy s2 docomo from japan i made unlock for sim and worked in egypt but no internet access form Egyptian sim

i hope u can help me to get internet access form Egyptian sim
[Galaxy S II General] Jubei:
I would very much appreciate it if you could please provide some instructions with links on how to update our sc-02c to CM11?

I tried flashing a CM11 nightly via the Siyah Kernel's CWM recovery but it failed.

*UPDATE* I followed the instructions for the GT-i9100 on the CM wiki and it kinda works... :) But I didn't flash CM11.. I flashed SlimKat Slim-i9100-4.4.2.build.4-OFFICIAL-3666. Haven't tested the GPS but everything looks like it's working...

*UPDATE2* Everything works except for the GPS which doesn't work at all. I am now trying to find info on GPS fixes.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Robotooo:
Hello,

I'm going to give my old SC-02C to a friend but before doing that I would like to install a custom rom on the device.

About the phone:

Android version - 4.0.3 (stock)

Baseband version - SC02COMMP7

Kernel version - 3.0.31-Siyah-s2-v5.0.1+

My questions are, which are the latest recommended custom roms and kernal? And is there a stable version of CyanogenMod 11?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.
[Galaxy S II General] Jubei:
According to wjchen0, Omnirom 4.4 w/ a GPS patch works fine.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Robotooo:
Thank you kindly for your reply.

Is it really OK to use Omnirom? As far as I can see it doesn't support SC-02C.

But incase it does, do I need to change the kernel? Currently I'm using "3.0.31-Siyah-s2-v5.0.1+"
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:
It's a common patch for gps, no need to change kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Robotooo:
Thank you for your reply.

Sorry, I what I meant was: Do I need to change the kernel if I switch to Omnirom?
[Galaxy S II General] joantwift:
Thanks for the useful tips.
[Galaxy S II General] Jubei:
Can you please tell us exactly which Kernel file you flashed to make it work? I tried with a bunch of different kernels but the GPS didn't work...It finds satellites but cannot get a LOCK ON.

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

I have asked wjchen0 that very same question but I haven't received any response. I can't see how one can install OMNI using the stock kernel. The stock kernel recovery (e3) is unable to install OMNI.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Robotooo:
I wonder if this kernel will do. - http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/kernel-kernel-cm11-omni-4-4-slimkat-t2222843
[Galaxy S II General] Jubei:
Please try and report the results. Don't forget the GPS patch I linked (according to wjchen0 it works for CM10.x and CM11.x roms, though I haven't had any success).

Nick
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Robotooo:
Due to my current kernel I had to do a "kernel wipe" or else there's a change the device would get stuck at the Samsung logo. However, it didn't succeed.

Then I moved on to Kernel for AOSP ROMs with stweaks/synapse support. I knew about the risks, though it didn't matter because the installation failed.

I hope wjchen0 can help us.
[Galaxy S II General] Jubei:
No matter how stuck the phone gets. If you can get to download mode with Volume-Down + Home + Power, then you can always flash stock firmware from sammobile with ODIN.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Robotooo:
The phone is actually fine. No damage was done. But thank you anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
You can remove or edit the assert line in META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script to force installation in the case you get a device type assert.

Alternately append ",SC-02C" to the TARGET_OTA_ASSERT_DEVICE line in android_device_samsung_i9100/BoardConfig.mk if you are building your rom from source.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Robotooo:
Thank you very much for your advice. Though I guess it's still a no go since I can't do the kernel wipe with GS2KernelWipe. Or maybe all I have to do is going back to the stock kernel? But then my CWM recovery is gone. I'm really lost here.

Sorry, my skills aren't that great.
[Galaxy S II General] tianqi:
The app doesn't work for docomo branded ones....
[Galaxy S II General] Devowa:
I just called the customer support.

And they say they can sim unlock without JP passport.

You just need a document of verifying identity such as Certificate of registered matters on alien registration or which is you needed for new subscription.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II General] tianqi:
Ah, thank you so much!

Is it ok, if I don't have alien registration? As I was/am staying using the visiting thing, as new zealanders can visit japan for up to 90 days without a visa. And I bought the phone out right rather than it being on a contract.
[Galaxy S II General] Devowa:
I'm afraid I'm not sure.

Maybe better to call them by yourself, what they require it for.

Ah I see.. you bought it from someone, right? And you're not actuallt using docomo..?

[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
You should only need your gaikokujin card.
[Galaxy S II General] tianqi:
Not from someone from from the 大黒屋
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
The original unlock is not working for new handsets in other markets now too. Seems as though the SC-02C was the first production rollout of the new protection scheme.
[Galaxy S II General] tianqi:
I was automatically granted a 90 day visa, I don't think I can get a gaikokujin card
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Do you have any Japanese friends?
[Galaxy S II General] tianqi:
They are preparing for their exams next week, and they are took a day to show me around already so I feel bad for asking....

Is there no way for me to be able to do it?
[Galaxy S II General] Devowa:
No. At least for now.

Docomo requires a certain document of verifying identity.

and 3,150 Yen.

Maybe you should ask your friend.

[Galaxy S II General] Sincci:
Quoting myself, but I now have this issue fixed. It turns out that the SC-02B version works perfectly with i9100 too, so if anyone wishes to type in japanese with the international version of this phone (and with the upcoming US releases too?), you can do it by installing this package via CMW. :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] rogeriok:

[Galaxy S II General] Devowa:
Why don't you just use "openwnn flick support"? You can use both Japanese/English with qwerty/flick keyboard.

Except if you don't like original jp font.. you can change it by replase/plase DroidSansJapanese.ttf though..

No offence, actually I respect your effort!

sc-02c recovery partition

I have been trying to find the recovery partition on the SC-02C to flash a custom recovery but there doesn't seem to be one. Somebody on #cyanogenmod on irc told me that on SC-02C the recovery is baked into the kernel/zImage and that there's no recovery partition. I wonder if that's true.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Robotooo:
I managed to install both kk-kernel-07-04-CWM.zip and omni-4.4.2-20140414-i9100-NIGHTLY thanks to the advice from evildave_666.

However, as I though, the Baseband = Unknown. I'll look for a way to restore my EFS backup or flash the modem.bin file with Odin. Hopefully it'll be enough to fix this problem.

--Edit--

I just tried to restore the EFS.

Eventhough I had an EFS backup which was created by the app GalaxSim Unlock I couldn't restore anything. I was told it was successful and to reboot my device, and after that my phone was in the same baseband unknown state.

I'm clueless.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Robotooo:
And all of the sudden I have to face another problem. I went back to stock rom and I noticed that the Baseband was still unknown and the IMEI was gone as well. Once again I tried to restore my backup and I even tried to manually move each file from my backup to the efs folder (with root browser). Nothing works.

Thank you for any help you can provide in this situation.

--Edit--

I managed to fix it by extracting "modem.bin" from SC02COMMP7_SC02CDCMMP7_SC02COMMP7_HOME.tar.md5 and then flash it with Odin.

I apologize for not trying everything before posting here and asking for your help.

GPS doesn't work

Are you sure the GPS works? I followed your instructions to the letter but still cannot get a GPS fix. When you test please make sure that under settings --> location --> set it to device only (GPS, no other sensors).
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Can't speak for Omni, but SC02C-CM10.X-fix.zip does indeed give working GNSS with an otherwise standard official CM11 M5 install (Install any kitkat kernel with a current CWM recovery, user data wipe, format /system, install CM11 image, install gapps, install SC02C-CM10.X-fix.zip). As soon as I was in an area with line-of-sight to 5 satellites with 35+ strength (I work in an urban canyon area, and GPS-only phones suck, I have to walk about 400m away) as measured by the GPS Test app I had a fast lock.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Robotooo:
To be honest this was the first time I ever tried to use the GPS on any Android device, so I can't tell you if it works perfectly or not, but it does seem to do what it should. Though I'm sorry it didn't work for you.

Unfortunately I can't give you any help regarding the GPS subject. So sorry about that.
