Folks,

Any suggestions for what kernel to use with CM10.1.3-RC2? Working GPS preferred.

Options:

CM Stock + SimmoF patcher

KBC

Dorimanx (does it need SimmoF patcher?)

Siyah (does any Siyah still work with 10.1?)

Latest Build (Firmware + Kernel + Rom)

Hi to all users of SC-02C, im a new owner of this phone model (SHW-M110s is my prev. phone model) so i search the net for some phone mods and upgrades...i see that some phone owners here are using a 4.2.x firmware version (mine is 2.3.3 :( ) so please can someone give me a LINK for the latest Firmware + Kernel + Rom for our phone model???MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE :D
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Latest stock firmware is 4.0.3 SC02COMMP7

Can probably grab either via checkfus or www.samfirmware.com.
[Galaxy S II General] renegade16:
Thanks! :good: ...another question if you dont mind good sir..how can i use CM10 in 4.2.2.? do i need to download a 4.2.2 firmware and kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
The path of least resistance for CM10 would probably be the KBC stuff at http://android.slateblue.tk/

It would already have a compatible kernel and proper asserts for sc-02c. I'm not sure if the latest release was built off the 10.1.3-RC2 sources though.
[Galaxy S II General] renegade16:
Thanks for the link, about the 4.2.2 thing, is it a Firmware?im currently running SC02COMLPL which is a 4.0.3 firmware is it OKAY to flash CM10 in this??
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Do not wipe until you've installed a safe kernel like siyah.
[Galaxy S II General] devilangellus:
ouaw hum, thanks again ^^;

as i told before i'm a total newbi... can someone make a easy and fast tutorial ^^;

don't wanna bother someone but i twill help me ^^;

wanna do like R3wt3d and change my s2, hope it will help with my 3G pb)
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Using the new totally-stock factoryfs.img and kernel we now have, I think I'm going to make a reversion rom to go back as close to stock as possible for pre-docomo-warranty-claim purposes since no one has been able to locate/extract anything off the CUF/KIES server. As such I'm probably going to put in data/cache-wipe images (cribbed from other KF2 samsung roms). The objective is to yield a blank phone, non-rooted with out-of-box OMKF2 kernel, /system and baseband and it should be flashable from Odin/Heimdall as long as the phone is not PBL/SBL-bricked (e.g. a jig can get it into download mode).

The Heimdall One-Click stuff is looking like it will do what I need. Hopefully it will work with the SC-02C.

I'm torn on whether to include a reflash of PBL/SBL at this point. I don't think many/any of the custom roms touch them in general. Comments?

Screwed up reception and battery

I am having the same issues and thought that, initially, there was something wrong with my battery. I removed the wallpaper and just use a black screen background all the time and it appears to have helped significantly. But even after I did this I went to Docomo and had the battery checked. They said that the battery is fine. I am not really doing anything with this phone except checking emails and viewing web pages. So I started thinking about other possibilities for excessive battery drainage. Before changing background my average charge only lasted for 6 hours and after keeping it black it has gone up to 9 hours.

So then I thought I would compare receiving speeds on the phone compared to my wife's Toshiba Regza. I downloaded Speedtest.net's app on both phones. Checked and made sure that all the network settings were matched (3g/W-CDMA auto on both) and then ran the tests. Here are the results:

Samsung S II -

Connection Type: Umts

Server: Tokyo

Download: 0.14 Mbps

Upload: 0.05 Mbps

Ping: 140 ms

and the Toshiba -

Test Date: Jul 13, 2011 10:46:05 pm

Connection Type: Hsdpa

Server: Tokyo

Download: 1.06 Mbps

Upload: 0.35 Mbps

Ping: 169 ms

Notice how hers connected HSDPA as it was supposed to and mine says just UMTS. Her Toshiba is just now running 2.2 (we updated it the other day).

WTF guys???? Is my phone possessed? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as the Docomo peeps can't figure it out.

Would anybody suggest using a different APN like suggested before? Or just take this one back and say give me another one?
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
That would kick ass. Been meaning to get around to it, just busy with work and famiry :-(
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
Did everyone got PM back from me? sent message was not saved correctly it seems and I couldn't double check. PM me again if you didn't got anything back from me.

rushter:

my SGS2 keeps switching between 3G and H at the status bar. 3G = umts and H = hsdpa I think... is that right?
[Galaxy S II General] bnr32jason:
I went by Docomo today to buy a spare battery and asked the guy about the switching between 3G and H and he didn't seem to know much about it, but he told me for download speed and everything it's basically the same. I want to agree with him, because I've used the speedtest.net app in both connection modes and it showed very similar speeds.
[Galaxy S II General] dprodge:
Hello to everybody, I'm a brand new user of your forum!

I want to make a question... in two months my wife and me will go to study one year to Japan. I want to acquire a SGS2 and my question is easy: It's better to buy it in Spain or in Japan?

I will use it in Japan all this year, and as i've read, SGS2 from docomo is different as SGS2 in europe (european don't have TV, for example) and maybe other little things.

I'm worried about GPS. I've been other times in Japan and GPS from my N95 worked very bad, in comparation with a Japanese mobile from a friend... then, for us will be very important GPS, and I don't know if an european SGS2 will work fine in Japan, with GPS and other applications...

Another doubt is the possibility to use an european SGS2 to get a contract with docomo. A friend living there told me about it, he says that is possible, but I'm not sure. Docomo will let me get a contract with them using an european SGS2?

And last one is if we must come back to Spain, if it will be possible to use a japanese SGS2 in europe, if it will work properly...

All those questions are just to know if I must buy this magnific phone in Spain or in Japan, and possibilities. I've been checking docomo website but my japanese is very poor (as my english ;)) and I found your website using google...

I hope you can help me, for me this is very important, and really, I don't know where ask something like this!

Oh: I'm new on android but I'm fascinated with this system and this phone, I come from an N900 (I've been using it durint two long years), tried nitdroid and loved it... I wish SGS2!

Thanks!!!
[Galaxy S II General] mathieulh:
Get the DoCoMo version, you will have one seg and 800mhz wcdma support which are in use in japan but not in the rest if the world. However if you plan on using it in Europe, it will only handle 2100mhz and not 900mhz for wcdma which are in use in some european countries to improve indoor coverage.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Also unless you have a docomo branded device you can't use the unlimited apn for data and you will pay through your nose.
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
you can use unlimited APN, but the price increases to 9900 Yen + Tax which is over 10000 Yen. Normally it will cost around 6000 Yen with DoCoMo branded smartphones. It'll be counted as PC connection.
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
docomo account

I freezed the docomo account with bloatware freezer (99Yen app). Maybe it will work with other apps aswell.

Now its gone from account setting, but I don't know for what it was used.

I could buy from market through SP mode payment, I can send,receive SP mode mail through 3G. 1seg works too...
[Galaxy S II General] dprodge:
Thank you, thank you so much for your help!

Your answers helped me a lot, but now I'm thinking if it will be a good idea to buy this mobile (500 € roughly). If after one year we must come back, in Spain I will only have acces to 2100Mhz, as I understand, and where I live we have a very bad signal quality... in my house I only have 900Mhz :\

If I buy the mobile in Spain I can only access to 2100Mhz in Japan, and well, Japan has better connections, but I will lose 800Mhz and one seg, and as I read, a data plan will cost 10.000 yens, 4.000 yen more in respect of a data plan with a SGS2 from docomo... this price is PER MONTH??? I didn't knew that internet on mobile in Japan is all this expensive! (now, this is another problem, I didn't knew this and for me this is very expensive, and probably we will need internet on the phone, as the GPS)

Buying the phone in Japan internet will be 6.000 yen, and I think this continue being very expensive... maybe Softbank is cheaper? And maybe with another kind of mobile... cheaper but with android? ^^;

Well, I'm so sorry, those questions are not about the things you talk about on this forum, first one maybe, but not those... but really, I don't know where to check, I don't know if Softbank will be better (or cheaper), if I can have a cheaper internet connection for the mobile, and now I don't know if we can buy a SGS2 in Japan and eat it with salt and pepper if we need to come back to Spain... but as I see, buying SGS2 in Spain or in Japan will be a problem in both ways... I feel so sad, I really want this phone!!! Is not possible to change Mhz? :(

Thank you so much for your good and kick answers!!!

Update: I've been talking with my wife, and we agree that if we can use the 14 Mb connection in our laptopts (using tethering, maybe... is possible?) it can be a good idea to pay 6.000 yens per month, because the internet connection of the appartment where we will stay is not good at all... but she is scared because all maps are in kanji ^^;
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
u can burn whatever rom u want as sc02c hardware is almost the same as eu version.

The IMEI should be in docomo db which is only when u buy from docomo. otherwise u have to pay 10k for data.(+980+ yen for voice)

There is cheaper plan for around 6k data only but will have few port limitations.

The docomo account that is installed by default is for phone contact backup service.
[Galaxy S II General] dprodge:
NICE!!! Thanks!!!

Then, as I understand, if I buy docomo's SGS2 and in one year we must come back to Spain I can burn an european rom and it will work as an european phone, with his 900Mhz???!!! Nice nice nice nice, really nice! Then, there's no other option: We'll go one day to a docomo store to get our contract, data plan, and a brand new SGS2!!! You make me sooooo happy!!!

A plan for data and voice will be good if this mobile let us do tethering for both laptops... 10k for data and voice maybe is a little bit expensive, but 6k for only data... mhh... we'll see there!

Doumo arigatou gozaimasu!!!
[Galaxy S II General] Devowa:
I think you'd better to buy the phone in Spain or at Clove.co.uk.

You will have to unlock sim when you go back to Spain but Docomo won't do it for this one.(check their sim unlock service).

Also, if you you'll have to pay some money for the cancellation whithin 2 years.

But, you can watch TV with SC-02C) :)

There's a way to use the phone under the docomo' network.

For about only 4000yen / month.

Including unlimited data,(but it's like 300kbps, Not7.2Mbps) and 25 minutes free call.(21yen/30sec)

For more info,check the site. bmobile.ne.jp/sim_t/

(unfortunately it's in Japanese, though)

If you have any question PM me.

I ordered this phone at clove and I'm going to use it with this talking-sim.

I'm currently using Desire under SoftBank network, though.(SB' network is crap!)
[Galaxy S II General] mathieulh:
Flashing a european rom on top of the DoCoMo handset will NOT change its radio. Nothing can.

Also if you live in places such as the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, there is a very good 2100mhz coverage there. UMTS800 is only good for villages, small towns or the countryside where UMTS2100 is mostly inexistent.
[Galaxy S II General] duway:
Hello guys i'm new user this phone.i have been unlock in docomo shop.

if i want to flash with custom ROM.my phone still unlock or not?i'm worried about that.

Japanese keyboard from SC-02C

Hi, this could be in wrong thread, but I thought that this would be the best way to contact someone with SC-02C. I'm currently using i9100 and like the original i9000, the international version doesn't have Japanese keyboard in it. However, someone ported the keyboard from SC-02B for i9000 by copying the files from phone's /system/app, /system/lib and /system/fonts folders in this thread and it worked perfectly.

So, I was wondering if the same thing could be done just by copying the same files from SC-02C.

The following files were used in i9000 version:

/system/app/iWnnIME.apk
/system/fonts/DroidSansJapanese.ttf
/system/lib/libEnjcon.so
/system/lib/libEnjemailuri.so
/system/lib/libEnjlearn.so
/system/lib/libEnjlearnL.so
/system/lib/libEnjlearnM.so
/system/lib/libEnjrel.so
/system/lib/libEnjyomi.so
/system/lib/libiwnn.so
/system/lib/libkaomoji_kihon.so
/system/lib/libkaomoji_tyukyu.so
/system/lib/libnjaddress.so
/system/lib/libnjcon.so
/system/lib/libnjemoji.so
/system/lib/libnjexyomi.so
/system/lib/libnjexyomi_new.so
/system/lib/libnjexyomi_re.so
/system/lib/libnjfzk.so
/system/lib/libnjname.so
/system/lib/libnjtan.so
/system/lib/libnjubase1.so
/system/lib/libnjubase2.so
/system/lib/lib_dic.conf.so
/system/lib/lib_dic_e.conf.so

If someone kind enough could try to see if those files are present in the /system folders and copy them, I would be really grateful. :)

I would also like to know if the emoji's are already working in the SC-02C version of the keyboard as they didn't work in SC-02B version at all.
[Galaxy S II General] tianqi:
I tried to unlock at the docomo shop but they said I would need a japanese passport to unlock, and my new zealand passport is insufficient...

So anyone willing to help or know another way? I am leaving japan on tuesday evening so this is rather urgent, thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] Devowa:
That's unfair.. Well maybe you can try it at the another shops.

I'm not sure if it works, try this app.

SC-02c modem+RIL International i9100

SimmoF answered me in his forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45954895#post45954895

So the best way is probably to buy a docomo branded phone new at the docomo store or in a second hand store.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Another alternative - get an Xi plan. You can use an Xi-provisioned sim on FOMA bands with sp-mode.

Drawbacks:

* You're limited to HSPDA on only Band I.(more colloquially known as UMTS-2100MHz)

* Capped at 3 or 7GB per month with an Xi plan, though tethering is permissable on Xi plans without the 4000 yen/mo surcharge that's levied on FOMA plans.

[Galaxy S II General] :
I just recently installed CM10.2 on my friends SC-02C and it seemed like it was working fine while I was on my Wi-fi. When he took it home, he said that he couldn't get any internet data to any of his applications (But his phone still worked for calling). Is this a problem that's come up earlier before?

This is the order I installed things:

I rooted his phone, added CWM, did a factory reset, cleared cache and dalvic, then installed CM 10.2, the newest kernel, and then Gapps.

Any help would be truly appreciated!

questions for the masters

Good day!

I have a set of questions I would like to ask:

To you masters, what is, by far, the best Kernel that you ever used? I kept on reading the Philz Kernel but I don't know which version. As for the Dorimanx, I was under the spell of bootloop. So I went back to Siyah.

Next, is there someone out there that uses Paranoid Android for sc-02c? What is the current version? I want to try and experiment all custom roms to see what fits me.

Thank you so much
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
The periodic appearance of SC-02C buyers from overseas markets having really flaky problems with their handsets leads me to speculate:

I think most of these problems fall into two broad categories:

1. Clueless phone dealer that doesn't know the subtle difference between the SC-02C and i9100 hardware and manages to subtly corrupt the partition table or efs before selling to an unwitting customer

2. Unknowingly brickbugging and leaving a partially corrupt emmc

new rom

hi, I finally installed a new rom and so far no issues now. This is a screen shot of it. the only thing I'd have wanted on that I don't see is the task manager and now also my phone appears as i900,bur imei still the same. I want to ask if that would cause any issues for me ,now or later and how can I further enhance this to maximise satisfaction ,thank you all.

how can i know?

Dave, how can I know if mine is in any of this two? I think mine wasn't faulty but in my own attempt to get rid of the loads of apps in Japanese and to make it trendy, i brought all these on me. It had stock rom 2.3 or something and kies updated to 4.0.3,also stock, but the apps were off little or no use to me here in Ghana ,that's why I wanted a lighter rom, hence my attempt to install custom roms. Now how can I know if I have caused any of the problems you are talking about here? Thanks in advance .

Thankyou I hope my contacts will not hang again :D

and Lastly if I dont need the docomo application

can I just install Neatrom + ics gps fix + your modem+ril on your drive? and can I install them without reboot or every install I'll reboot?

Edit: So it's still same My phone still hangs when adding contacts manually after the restart

so I'm looking for solution and what caused the problem like

*The Freedom App

*No External SD Card

and lastly can I ask if my recovery is ok

because all are like this

mount system except for emmc and cache

they're

unmount cache

unmount emmc

Try this, full wipe, install neatrom, install latest compatible philz kernel, install my patcher.

Do not use titanium backup or anything to restore.

Try adding contacts.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Checking your partition sizes is a good start: A properly partitioned SC-02C will have a 612MB system partition while one that's been re-pitted will have 512MB.
