Okay, ya'll I seem to be having major difficulties. I'm still a noob to rooting, I suppose (I've only rooted two phones; both SGS4G), and my research is failing.

Here are my phone's specs:

android version:

2.3.3

baseband version:

SC02COMKF2

kernel version:

2.6.35.7-SC02COMKF2-CL257138se.infra@SEP-51#2

build:

gingerbread.OMKF2

Basically I want to root my phone so I stop receiving Edge service and receive picture messages once again (etc, etc).

If that is not possible (by rooting), just let me know now.

Thanks for input!

P.S. Siyah kernel shows as "invalid .pit file" - any clues? Or am I just that clueless...
[Galaxy S II General] takoyaki17:
Sakuramilk kernel is pre-rooted i guess.or just download latest siyah kernel for sc-02c.

Then flash it via odin.
[Galaxy S II General] hatteroo:
Recently did the switch and it's been going perfectly since. Just need to do a GPS fix since it takes quite some time to lock onto a GPS signal at times and it's rather annoying.
[Galaxy S II General] DeFuSeGM:
Very hard to find something there. Can someone tell me, witch version and what to do to install to this japan version of S2. Becouse now i have installed official 4.0.3 version, and seems battery drains very fast. Maybe im wrong ? Maybe i need to do some fix. Becouse i hear what 4.2.2 version is best for this phone. Thanks who gona help me, and give me links to install best rom and etc. for this phone !
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Too many options to list here but keep reading this forum. You'll find what you want here.
[Galaxy S II General] hatteroo:
anyone have a gps fix for 4.2.2?
[Galaxy S II General] takoyaki17:
Try back reading page 248.there's some links posted by sir nakagusukumike.but dont download the kernel.search for a later version of sakuramilk like what nakagusukumike said.
[Galaxy S II General] takoyaki17:
Try another baseband.this is what i am using.and gps works just fine.
[Galaxy S II General] fleetingeyes:
Okay, ya'll... I was able to flash ROM using this method from this site:

japanmobiletech[DOT]com/2012/05/updated-installing-ics-cyanogenmod-9-on.html

Using ODIN, not Heimdall (which doesn't like me, and I don't like.)

I softbricked a few times, but I finally got CM9 up and running. I don't care for DOCOMO apps right now, as this phone is replacing my old one.

If someone needs files for ROM-ing, I can upload and provide.

I'll keep updating as I use the CM9.
[Galaxy S II General] DeFuSeGM:
Im sorry for posting. But where i can find stock android 4.0.3 kernel. To make phone rooted. Becouse I found one, but seems its bugged, and stopped work camera and etc apps.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
I have a good kernel for you. Goto my Google drive. Download Siyah 3.5.2 ntt.

The link is in my signature.
[Galaxy S II General] hatteroo:
Can anyone please tell me the site they use to get these SC02C-JB-MR1-KBC kernel updates? I'm trying to search on google but am not comming up with a newer version. the SC02C-JB-MR1-KBC-20130610-AOSP-boot-signed version likes to crash randomly and the may 19th version is stable but GPS doesn't work for me. Thanks!

ps I'm using the OMKF2 modem and now Slim Roms build offical rls 7
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
Guys,

Some updates. Slim Bean update 7 is out, I tried it and it works great:

http://blacklinux.com/pages/public/computers/android/SC02C/Slim-i9100-4.2.2.build.7-OFFICIAL.zip

http://blacklinux.com/pages/public/computers/android/SC02C/Slim_Gapps.4.2.2.build.7.zip

I also tried these newer SC02C kernels:

http://blacklinux.com/pages/public/...C02C-JB-MR1-KBC-20130610-AOSP-boot-signed.zip

http://blacklinux.com/pages/public/...C02C-JB-MR1-KBC-20130613-AOSP-boot-signed.zip

But both of them kept randomly hard locking and rebooting (without BLN on or NoLED or anything like that installed) so I ended up reverting to:

http://blacklinux.com/pages/public/computers/android/SC02C/SC02C-JB-MR1-KBC-20130519-AOSP-signed.zip

CM 10.1 is also working pretty good (with the May 19 Kernel) but I ended up sticking with Slim:

http://blacklinux.com/pages/public/computers/android/SC02C/cm-10.1-20130612-UNOFFICIAL-sc02c.zip

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

I got my wife an S4 and now I'm totally jealous of the screen resolution. It may be time to upgrade :cowboy:
[Galaxy S II General] hatteroo:
I'm using the same kernel and build 7 but gps is crap. I'm using OMFK2 modem as well. How the hell do you get yours to work??
[Galaxy S II General] hatteroo:
Guess I'll switch over to that kernel. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] hatteroo:
Well that modem certainly didn't help either in Osaka/Kyoto this weekend or even back in Tokyo...guess I'll just have to keep fiddling with different ones.
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:
Hey everyone,

I want to double check something before I spend the money. Our Sco2c takes a standard SIM, right? Not a micro SIM or anything weird like that? I ask because I'm buying a prepaid SIM in preparation for a trip to France and want to make sure I'm getting the right thing.

Also, has anyone traveled abroad with this phone and prepaid SIMs? If so, how'd it go? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
It uses a mini-SIM. I doubt most people would remember what a standard SIM was.

There aren't really any issues if the handset is unlocked.
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:
Thanks Evildave!

Gonna see if I can get my hands on onna them FirefoxOS phones while I'm over there.
[Galaxy S II General] Xaeons:
nvm got recovery, gonna tinker with it for a bit

EDIT: ok, I'm not really sure what recovery I have, though it says "Android system recovery <3e>"

[Galaxy S II General] Xaeons:
Will the APN work even if I'm not in Japan? (I'm in the Philippines for example)

All I'm getting is an EDGE connection, though I haven't tried to browse anything yet.

Here's what I used:

Slim-i9100-4.2.2.build.7-OFFICIAL.zip

Slim_Gapps.4.2.2.build.7.zip

SC02C-JB-MR1-KBC-20130519-AOSP-signed.zip

SC02COMLPG_modem.bin

The modem.bin was installed using nakagusukumike's instructions on page 248.

Help please. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
If you're on Smart any APN will work.
[Galaxy S II General] Xaeons:
Thank you, I'll try that.

EDIT: ok, still on E (Edge) on Sun Cellular network here in the Philippines (I don't have a Smart Telecoms sim card)

I read here (second post) about the CSC

Then I read here about changing it (that didn't work)

Then I read here about changing mps_code.dat file located in /efs/imei/

When I opened the file it was DCM (in the second URL, DCM is a CSC in Japan, which most probably be Docomo) so I changed it to OLB (for the Philippines, Multi CSC for couple of countries and regions (“O” refers to Open)). Rebooted.

When I access *#*#4636#*#* > Phone information, Network type is always EDGE, and whenever I set the preferred network type to "WCDMA preferred" then turn off/on the radio, the network type changes to GPRS then to EDGE

I went to Settings > Device (under Advanced System Settings) > Radio > HSPA, HSDPA + HSUPA is selected

I went to Settings > More (under Wireless Networks) > Mobile Networks > "Use only 2G networks" is unchecked, checked Data enabled, data roaming, national data roaming and I still get the E(Edge) connection.

Should I just flash another kernel/rom?

Is it a baseband issue?

Should I try what the person in the first URL did (changing PDA, PHONE, and CSC)?

EDIT: nvm, I'm gonna try to get help in the Modem+RIL thread
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Having tried all 3 of the main RP providers, I can't really recommend Sun for data at all.

Even in Metro Manila I never got good 3G reception, while in the last year both Smart and Globe have really saturated even provincial areas in UMTS/WCDMA.
[Galaxy S II General] Xaeons:
Thanks, I will try other SIM cards then, maybe the radio/modem is incompatible with the SIM card.

Though I can send/receive messages just fine, it seems I ran into another problem: I can't make/receive calls.

When someone calls me, they hear a ring on their end, but my phone doesn't ring. When I try to call someone it just stays there, calling, and I don't hear a thing. And when I hang up it also stays there attempting to end the call until I reboot the phone.

I unlocked the phone using GalaxSim Unlock from the playstore

I flashed the latest DorimanX kernel and Slimbean ROM

I flashed XXLS8 modem+RIL from here

I checked GetRIL

Everything is fine on the phone, no bootloops, no FCs, very fast and responsive

Signal is fine, but as I have mentioned before, I can't get 3G/HSDPA and I can't make/receive calls

BUT, I will try a Smart Telecom sim later. I very much hope that it will work.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
I've used both Smart and Globe data and voice successfully with standard docomo modem/ril, so no need to mess around with that.
[Galaxy S II General] Xaeons:
May I know what modem you are using?
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
OMLPL at the moment (with 20121112 CM10).
[Galaxy S II General] Xaeons:
Thanks, I'll try that, as well as CM10.

EDIT: Can I also ask what RIL you are using? I've already flashed an OMLPL modem only zip file, RIL stayed the same (XLS8)
[Galaxy S II General] Xaeons:
Ok I'm spent, the only thing I can think of doing right now is to install stock SC-02C kernel/ROM/modem and try to go from there.

I'm guessing I messed up the stock RIL (by flashing modem+RIL files willy nilly)

Any advice on what android version of stock I should use?
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
OMLPL or OMMP4 should be fine.

2. Flashed SlimBean , Dorimanx 8.5, Rom Tweaker by SimmoF

Rom is working fine.

The problem is, I am not able to get the SIM working.

Tried Galaxy_S Unlocker as well. Still the same.

Any clue on how can i get the SIM to work?

Baseband currently is SC02COMMP4
[Galaxy S II General] mprefect:
I'm kind of at my wit's end here. I've been trying for two days using all configurations I see in signatures and posts and for the life of me I can't get GPS to work on any of them.

Here's what I've done most recently:

wipe cache

wipe user data

SC02COMLPL[Modem+RIL]-cwm.zip

cm-10.1-20130710-UNOFFICIAL-sc02c.zip

gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip

SC02C-JB-MR1-KBC-20130519-AOSP-signed.zip

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

wipe dalvik

set up accounts and stuff

failure again

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

I've tried my hardest to fix it myself, I promise.
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
You shouldn't need the Any ROM tweaker for a CM10.1 ROM that is already made for the sc-02c.
[Galaxy S II General] mprefect:
Thanks for the advice.

I tried that, so I what I did was:

wipe cache

wipe user data

cm-10.1-20130710-UNOFFICIAL-sc02c.zip

gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip

SC02C-JB-MR1-KBC-20130519-AOSP-signed.zip

wipe dalvik

set up accounts and stuff

And I still get "searching for GPS" forever.

I got a screencap this time ... which apparently I am not allowed to link; change it to http:

//i191.photobucket.com/albums/z82/Kansai_Gal/phone.png

I'm stumped.
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
It looks like you are doing everything right in your install. Are you sure that the GPS isn't just being really slow? My SC02c always takes about a minute or more to find a good lock.

Install GPS status from Google Play in order to see whether the phone is finding any satellites.

Also have you tried using the stock kernel from the 0710 cm10.1? KBC also has a newer kernel (0711) that you might want to try as well.
[Galaxy S II General] mprefect:
0/0 satellites, tried for over 5 minutes

Searching for the 0710 release showed that GPS was an issue so I tried the 0715 release (since 0802,3 hated me) which people said fixed it

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/75013-fixed-gps-not-work/

and

KBC's 0711 release

(with Simmo's)

and also found this:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/74647-very-slow-gps-fix/page__st__20#entry397370

And that application led me to find out

tp://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z82/Kansai_Gal/Screenshot_2013-08-04-01-31-03.png

[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
If anyone's still using stock, there was an update released last week, supposed to correct an edge case where volume of catch-phone is set too low when using the earphone jack. (Still 4.0)

http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9100 is it one of these????

Do you know how to use odin and cwm recovery?

Now its dificult to find a good cm10.1 for sc-02c but you can flash the gt-i9100 nightly.

If you are on stock you need to flash a kernel that suports sc-02c like siyah or kbc kernel to get cwm recovery first!

Anyone by chance carrier unlock the sc-02c and use it in england? seems like it should work fine going off the radio specs of 3G since it at least has 2.1ghz as a freq. All the 2G stuff is the same as well. I know I need to switch to a UK based modem after I carrier unlock it as well and I should go with a UK based kernel correct? I'm doing this so I can test out which mobile carrier I will go with before getting a contract on an S4 or S4 mini. Thanks :)

[Galaxy S II General] Lakitu:
I used mine in England a few years back. Worked fine with a SIM from O2. Terrible connection speeds and coverage compared to here, Lol.
[Galaxy S II General] hatteroo:
Thanks for the info. Was there a specific kernel/modem you used at the time for mobile carriers like EE, O2, VF, T-mobile, etc? Hopefully service quality has changed out in the country side of Cambridge there as I've heard 4G is pretty non existent and 3G is mediocre. I'm assuming I can keep my current kernel and just change the modem?
[Galaxy S II General] Lakitu:
I don't remember I'm afraid, but it was nothing fancy.
[Galaxy S II General] mprefect:
I did it just like that (well, close to that, there is no "file with 'CODE' in its name." so I went with the tar file), with

SC02COMMP7

SC02COMMP4

SC02COMLPL

I thought I would use a stock to see if my GPS still works, and it definitely isn't a hardware issue, but um... that didn't work out

That is the exact same issue I am having.

Just flash stock firmware with odin...

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

Want to let you guys know some of my experience...I was running cyanogenmod 10.1 jp remix since january of this year from the kbc developer sakuramilk.I have tested a lot of nightlies from him. imo the most stable one was the 0505 nightly.since he stopped building the jp remix I started trying many roms like paranoid,silim bean,official cm 10.1/2,lungo and some samsung based roms and some others but was very dificult to get every thing working properly(gps main) some fixes with some roms work and others dont...so I think the best option is to flash sakuramilk build that is made specially for our device and flash the cm nightly over it without wipe.

I tested the last 10.1 nightly over it and was ok since it did not overwrite the fixes and changes made from sakuramilk.

Cyanogenmod experience was great but I went back once to stock to test the new firmware from ntt docomo mmp7..I tried the first ics when released but did not like it at all(too many lags) but this one seems to be a way better.

Comparing to cyanogenmod I think,

Stability,performance,speed,response is better.I always thought touchwiz is a way slower than cm but this one I have no complaints.

Do not have to mention that games run flawlessly and in cm some just freeze because of the known driver issue.

Almost no graffic glitches (in cm I used to have some in the browser)and no force closes at all

But the most annoying thing I think is the memory management. Now I run lot apps in the same time much more than on cm.in cm if you open the browser and try to open some page in the background the page you sees gets extremely slow.I really like to use cyanogenmod but for now I think i will test this stock a little bit more...

You can get stock firmware from this japanese guy

Credits go all to him and if you want I can provide sakuramilks build...

Anyone tried the official CM10.1.3-RC1 build?

Contemplating flashing it over my SimmoF 10.0 build but worried about assert issues on the install.
[Galaxy S II General] roopak.chauhan:
what is the current official SC-02C (Japan) kernel version?

Hi,

I need to return my phone for some hardware repair. So I need to restore my phone to a stock ROM. Using ODIN, I have already flashed the stock ROM that I found somewhere on the internet . Below are the details:

Model No: SC-02C

Android version: 4.0.3

Baseband version: SC02COMLPL

Kernel version: 3.0.15.-SC02COMLPL-CL887191 se.infra@SEI-47 #3 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jul 13 19:17:56 KST 2012

Build number: IML74K.OMLPL

However, I am not sure of if this is the correct stock ROM (that I found somewhere on the internet). I am suspicious about it as the the timestamp in the Kernel version doesn't look correct (as I am in Japan/JST). Do you think that the Samsung technicians will be able to make out from the above Kernel version?

NOTE: I've already reset the flash count to 0.

Cheers,

Roopak
