Cleared both caches, still no luck. When I activate wifi it scans for about ten seconds then turns off. Weird.
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:
Kernel version is Siyah v2.6.11-ntt.tar ... Whatever could be causing my wifi to shut down? An app conflict?
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
could be ... do you have any "battery saver" type applications? Maybe do a nandroid backup and then a factory reset and see if that fixes it.
[Galaxy S II General] clement.km:
For my case, wifi crashed since 2.6.5

After many trials on different rom and kernel version combination, OMKJ4 is the latest rom works with WIFI for me.

OMKJ4 rom with OMKL4 modem can work with any SiyahKernal perfectly.

Considering going ahead and flashing dlevrom (sp?) And seeing how we get on from there. not going to get much work done tonight though... good thing my Docomo plan is使いホダイ！
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:
That appears to have done the trick. dlevrom 2-3.1-KI4 and Siyah-v2.6.11-ntt and I'm up and running. Wifi, 3g, phone...all good as far as i can tell. Thanks team!
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:
With the modem from the latest update, I should add.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Do yourself a favor and double check the APN settings and make sure you are not using mopera.net otherwise you will get an extra charge on your account.
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:
Done and done. I've learned to check that right away. In fact I went ahead and deleted all the apns except for spmode. Got burned fooling around on my htc magic, and have been very careful since then. Good looking out though!
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
The Wifi is not working on the stock rom with Siyah kernel. When you goto about phone you cannot see the Wifi mac address. I think it might be a kerner driver issue. It has been broken since KJ4. I have spoken to the dev bout this once, he said he would look into it, but after the initial response, he is no longer talking about it. I suggest you contact him diectly through XDA so that he looks further into this, as I assume no one has contacted him and he thinks I am th eonly one with this problem. His nick is GokhanMoral.

Is there any way to unlock the sim card other than going to the docomo shop??

I am going to buy a second hand sc-02c.

I am afraid if go to docomo shop they will ask me for ID and I have not signed any sc-02c contract with them....:mad:
[Galaxy S II General] clement.km:
Not exactly correct. I reported gokhan since2.6.4 and he gave at least 3-4 beta kernel to tackle this issue. However, the only way to solve this is to downgrade to omkj4 rom. Please note that gokhan isn't sc-02c owner, and he cannot test the nyy kernel with himself. Siyah is great for battery performance and I dun mind to keep old omkj4 rom with latest siyah kernel:)
[Galaxy S II General] ebudae:
You don't need to be signed to any docomo contract to unlock your device. I unlocked my phone even telling that I would use a Softbank iPhone sim card. Don't worry about it.

Hey guys I don't know what ROM's you are running but I have been trying a few lately (Delev, CM7, MIUI) and I just installed GingerMod8 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1220283

So far it seems pretty awesome. It is Android 2.3.6 and has things like SIP included and is basically a Samsung ROM with all except a few useful Samsung apps ripped out and everything else is ASOP. One thing I wish it had was Video in gTalk but I never really use the video part on mobile anyway, so I guess it is fine.

I have mine running with the latest official baseband and then Siyahkernel of course. It will take me a few days to see how I really like it but it seams very nice.

---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------

oh and if you install it make sure you disable data before you put your SIM in as it has the mopera.net APN in the list so you will want to delete that before it can try and use it.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
I went into the Docomo shop and asked if I can use an iPhone on their network with my Galaxy SIM. They said I could but spmode apn will not work and I needed to use the mopera APN. This is not the expensive tethering APN. I have been stung with this before its like tether.something.jp

Get an xi sim. Check out softbanksucks.blogspot.com and the docomo tag for more info. You should be able to get a decent price with xi.

in order to use h+, i'm trying to use XXKI3 modem in my sc-02c

i disabled wcdma 900 as i suppose sc-02c does not support it
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:
Sooo... here's a question for you guys who bought the SCo2c on time from Docomo. I opted to pay over 24 months, pakehodai flat, etc. Docomo gives you a monthly "support" discount (around 1500 yen) to help offset the cost of the phone.

Thing is, the discount has stopped showing up on my MyDocomo account page. Has this happened to any of you folks? Is it because I'm no longer running the stock firmware? Or is Docomo just doing something funny with their accounting?
[Galaxy S II General] wendac:
Can anyone upload the camera.apk without shutter sound? The original file has been deleted
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Still showing up on my invoices. Did you change to Xi (red-sim) service? That will cancel your handset support discount.
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:
All I changed was my calling plan. the invoice for february has the discount figured in, but the estimated total for march doesn't show it. Weird.

Try going to applications and clearing the cache and market data. You can also uninstall a update from there too.

I am running Gingermod it seams to be very fast, stable, and has great battery life. Be sure you disable the data connection before you put your SIM in so you can check and make sure the APN setting is correct. If you make a mistake and are using mopera.net it will cost you money.

Only a rom based off the stock sc02c will have TVs working. Also you should use Sakuramilk's kernel and his TweakGS2 apps to customize it.

SC-02c unlock question

Hi. This is my first post but from what I've browsed so far it seems like a really useful and friendly board... good to meet everybody!

Sorry to start with a dumb question, but...

I have the docomo SC-02c and went to the Docomo shop last week to get it Sim-unlocked.

Now I want to root the phone but I was wondering, if I root it will I somehow lose the Sim-unlockedness?!

Again, sorry for the dumb newbie question but many thanks for any help.
[Galaxy S II General] daovietcuongnt:

[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:

[Galaxy S II General] zack.vaan.seph:
Anyone?

First post, don't flame me (I watched the video of noob haters) :D

So, does anyone have a stock kernel of sc-02c? The problem is that I'm trying to root my sgs2 using the instructions on this page. It mentioned there that I need to download the corresponding kernel version that I have on my phone (Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. the one that I have is KG5)

So, I dl'ed the file, started odin, closely followed all the instructions odin showed PASS! but then when my device rebooted, 'twas stuck on the NTT DoCoMo logo with a yellow triangle. And it stays there so I can't use my phone. I'm thinking that flashing the stock kernel back might solve the problem. I know it's my fault for not backing up my own stock kernel so... please be gentle with your posts. :(

NOTE: I also dl'ed from Check Fus but when I tried it in Odin, flashing fails and most of the links where stock kernels are uploaded were already dead (specially multiupload). Any help?
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Reboot into recovery and wipe the dalvik and system cache, see the guide for installing a ROM in my signature for more info.
[Galaxy S II General] zack.vaan.seph:
Thanks! But I can't get into recovery mode either (vol.up+home+power). This might help so I'll enumerate the exact things that I did.

I downloaded the corresponding CF for my kernel version (which is KG5). There are two versions:

CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG5-v4.1-CWM4.zip

CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG5-v4.1-CWM4.zip

I flashed through Odin using the first one (PASS) and it gave me the yellow triangle and it's stuck there. So, I decided to re-do the process, this time using the second one (PASS), same results.

Since it's my first time doing this and I was afraid that I might brick my phone, I googled around for some stock kernels and ROMS for SC-02C and found CheckFus. I downloaded this file:

Product Code: SGH-N033LKNDCM

Latest firmware: SC02COMKL4/SC02CDCMKL4/SC02COMKL4/SC02COMKL4

Modified: 12/23/2011 12:11:08 PM

Filename: SC-02C_DCM_1_20111223121054.zip.enc2

The file came in with a .tar.md5 and a SS_DL.dll file. Google shows that the dll file is unnecessary so I proceeded with the same steps on flashing the new md5 file that I got (FAIL).

This is where I'm stuck right now, my phone won't boot up and it stays on the yellow triangle screen with NTT Docomo on it and I can't get into recovery mode. Any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] zack.vaan.seph:
Quoting my own post.. I think I might be able to figure this out if only I have a copy of the stock kernels posted by intratech on this page. If anyone here has a copy of these files:

Model: SC-02C

OMKG5: http://www.multiupload.com/JCC9C4WFS0

Firmware info: PDA: OMKG5| Phone: OMKG5| CSC:DCMKG5

OMKG5 Stock Kernel:http://www.multiupload.com/BAM6BOQRJ0

Password is: intratech@XDA

Please please, re-up it on a different host, or pm me. I really need these files to get me going since I'm literally stuck right now with a phone (with a yellow triangle) without recovery mode. yoroshiku~
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
If you can get into download mode I suggest you install Siyah kernel (link in my signature) and then access recovery and wipe the dalvik cache, system cache, factory reset and see if it will boot.

I recommend using heimdall (command line version) since it is harder to make a mistake.

If you still can't boot after that I recommend you start over by re installing the latest firmware using heimdall. Then you can go back and swap kernels and ROM's as you please.

I have gotten myself in a similar situation before so it is not the end of the world.
[Galaxy S II General] zack.vaan.seph:
I have gotten myself in a similar situation before so it is not the end of the world.​

:D A one liner can make your day, eh?

Alright, I'll try your suggestions and I'll get back as soon as I have results. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] zack.vaan.seph:
So I did what you told me and tried to install Siyah 2.6.12 and this is what I got when I tried to flash it using Heimdall (command-line): http://snag.gy/XFF6V.jpg

How do you install a complete firmware using heimdall? Is it something in this format:

If what I mentioned was the way to install it via command line then I guess it also won't work since I also receive the same message when I did that: ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12

I also tried my luck using the frontend (UI based) heimdall and used this latest firmware from CheckFus:

Product Code: SGH-N033LKNDCM

Latest firmware: SC02COMKL4/SC02CDCMKL4/SC02COMKL4/SC02COMKL4

Modified: 12/23/2011 12:11:08 PM

Filename: SC-02C_DCM_1_20111223121054.zip.enc2

But when heimdall starts decompressing and extracting the package, it shows an error saying that firmware.xml is missing.

So how do I get past this problem, or is there any way for me to just get it back to its previous state? I really don't care if it's rooted or not right now, I just want to get it to work again.. :(
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Make sure you have it in download mode and have "usb debugging" turned on. Also make sure that Windows detects the phone when it is plugged in.

with heimdall you can install just the kernel if you with "heimdall flash --kernel zImage"

although if you are using Windows then I guess the file name is not case sensitive. Also I am assuming you have extracted the tar file from siyah if you are installing with the command line version.

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

To install the other files in the original firmware you can use these switches

[--factoryfs <filename>] [--cache <filename>]

[--param <filename>] [--kernel <filename>]

[--modem <filename>] [--hidden <filename>]
[Galaxy S II General] zack.vaan.seph:
- Yes, it's in download mode (that's the only thing that I can do right now, no recovery mode, stuck on docomo screen)

- USB debugging is N/A coz the phone won't even start in the first place

- Yes, windows detects my phone. I installed the drivers needed via Kies, and to answer a possible follow up question, no, Kies is not running whenever I'm flashing

- Yes, I did "heimdall flash --kernel zImage" and it showed the error that I mentioned

- Yes, I extract the tar file when I do it via command line
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
hmmm when ever I get that type of error it is because I am not running heimdall as root ( I am on Linux). It looks like your command Window shows that you have it running as administrator so I am not sure what the issue is.

I would suggest installing the new kernel using Oden then since you are familiar with it. I am not sure why heimdall doesn't want to work.

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

this might have some helpful info on why heimdall isn't working

http://androidforums.com/stratosphere-all-things-root/432250-any-news-root-stratosphere.html

it looks like you might try rebooting the phone and machine, put the phone in download mode, connect the USB, then run heimdall.

I have had heimdall not see my phone before but then I just pulled the battery, put it in download mode again and tried it and it worked.
[Galaxy S II General] mwdowns:
Hello all!

I've been reading bunch of the guides, and I have a stupid question: do I need to go to the Docomo shop to unlock my phone in order to root it? Or is unlocking only if I want to use another SIM card in it?

Also, the guide I'm going from suggests the DlevROM 2 but on the linked page the download link doesn't work? Any suggestions (ROMs that have Swype would be prefered, but I can use SwiftKey in a pinch)?

Thank you for your help. Really looking forward to rooting and installing a new ROM...battery life is horrible and for some reason my phone has started just randomly rebooting itself. :(
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Unlocking is only for using a different SIM and that has to be done in a Docomo shop. You can install any i9100 ROM (I am using GingerMod) as long as you install a kernel and modem for the SC-02C.

ICS ROM's will not work though because the kernel's for the SC-02C don't support it yet.
[Galaxy S II General] mwdowns:
Thanks for the reply.

How do you like the GingerMod? So, I guess the DlevROM is a no go since it can't be downloaded? Any other suggestions that I can take a look at? Does GingerMOD come with Swype (I didn't see it on it's page, but I might have missed it)?
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:
Yeah, just tried to install Viber again and it worked just fine. Free voip calls to other Viber users? Nice. Quality is good too... so far.
[Galaxy S II General] zack.vaan.seph:
Thanks for all help zaphod777!

I managed to get my phone to boot up. It appears that Samsung Kies is not that reliable when it comes to the phone drivers needed. I used zadig that came with the heimdall package, rebooted my pc and my phone, reflashed, and voila, I now have the CWM recovery mode!

So, I did as you suggested, wiped dalvik, cache and did factory reset. Phone is now up and now I'll try to root it using the steps on this page: http://softbanksucks.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-to-root-docomo-galaxy-s2-sc-02c.html

I managed to root my phone and unlock my SIM. All is well! More power to the big guys here at XDA, I'll stay active and help others who need help as well.

I really like GingerMod it is really fast and great on battery life. However my GPS is pretty shoddy right now and I haven't had the time to track down the problem.
[Galaxy S II General] zack.vaan.seph:
Well, after reading a bunch of forums and suggestions by other people who managed to unlock their SIM, I found this as the simplest yet most effective way to do it: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.helroz.galaxysunlock&hl=en

Now, there's only one thing left that I need to check. I noticed that my phone isn't booting up normally and it goes straight to CWM recovery mode even by just normally pressing the power button. I also somehow lost the charging.jpg image while the phone is turned off and in charging mode. I found some ideas outside XDA but do you have something in mind?
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Strange I was under the impression that those apps didn't work on the sc-02c since we didn't know the salt on the encrypted file.

The issue you are having is strange. You might try reflashing the kernel if the power on issue persists. I think siyah .13 is due anytime now.

I think the charging. Jpg is part of the ROM. Which one are you on?

[Galaxy S II General] zack.vaan.seph:
I'm not sure if this will help but here's a screenshot of my phone's info: http://snag.gy/E6pfH.jpg

I'm planning to install ICS ROM since I heard that it will be officially released sometime this quarter (meaning sometime this month). I'll do what you suggested prolly this weekend if I have time.

UPDATE:

Sorry forgot to mention about the unlocker. I'm not sure either. After reading a handful of threads about unlocking an SC-02C, it appears that bringing it to a Docomo shop for 3000 yen was the only way to do it since most devs don't know the salt on the file (nv_bin I think). But after reading some posts and comments by other people who uses the same phone model, it shows that this method actually works. So, I tried it and boom, it unlocked my SIM with just a couple of taps!
