If you would read this thread you would know you need to from flash the kernel and basband for this too work. The kernel in my sig has a version for the sc02c. Other kernels and Roms don't have a kernel and baseband compatible with this phone. otherwise GPS and 1seg don't work.

Oh and you need to make sure you add the correct apn info. If you have the wrong apn set it can cost you a lot of money.
[Galaxy S II General] stryker.jp:
anyone looking to trade their white SC-02C with my black sgs2 international version(GTI-I9100)
[Galaxy S II General] sn00pee:
for those that want the SP push:

extract this file to a dir

place your custom rom in that dir

run the .cmd file

press 1

wait for everything to finish, you should have a new jp_complete.zip

flash the jp_complete.zip

Can we install the SC-02C firmware on our i9100?
[Galaxy S II General] liquidarts:
Docomo SGS II or International SGS II

Hey all, I just broke my old Xperia X10 and considering a new phone. The Galaxy S II looks great. I really like messing around with the new roms, but it seems the Docomo version is pretty restricted in what ROMS (particuarly Miui) and kernels can be used due to the radios I guess. I live in Tokyo and would rarely care to use 1seg. Not sure if an international version of this phone would have signal or GPS issues etc.

My question is, would you guys recommend to get with the Docomo SC-02C or go for an international S II?
[Galaxy S II General] sn00pee:
you should have no problem, with the docomo version. you can flash practically any firmware on it.
[Galaxy S II General] cmf68hk:
Master, would you please to post OMKJ4 root file "h t t p://w w w.megaupload.com/?d=8XKTJUWX" to ' multiupload.com ' again?
[Galaxy S II General] naimbic:
Do you mean SP Mode push notification?
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Sc-02c is fine but you have to flash a special kernel and the default basband. The kernel in my sig works great for me. If you get the international version you will pay out the nose for data on docomo
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Why would you want to?
[Galaxy S II General] sn00pee:
Yes, this allows automatic check of sp mode mail
[Galaxy S II General] naimbic:
Can you explain more details how to make it work please?

Hi everyone.. I'm having problem with my sc-02c and i think it depends from softbank mms settings that dont allow me to download any mms. I just receive mms notifications from 920101 but no mms is donwloaded.. For that reason every 45 seconds com.android.phone error pops up freezing the sgs2 for 5 secs.

I tried several usim card and they all work perfectly execpt my old black sim softbank card. Is there a solution? I already hard reset it several times and I try to install mms.apk to fake UA settings for mms. The phone worked perfectly until 2 days ago now its f... annoying me... I dont have problem using mobile internet with softbank apn, calling /receiving phone calls(they must be really quick ones ) and sms work like charm...I dont know what do anymore. Thanx
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
OMKJ4 (2.3.5) is now official and available on regular kies plus OTA update.

Root is preserved with OTA update, no need to reroot.

(And yes, OTA is working for me this time too)
[Galaxy S II General] susteki:
Thanks for the info, checking now. Strange, I always get the connection failed when trying to DL OTA, any ideas why?
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Don't know, seems like about half the people it never works for and they're relegated to doing Kies/Odin updates (which takes many times longer due to the backup/restore of /data).

Oh, and be prepared for a couple minute wait on the first boot as dalvik cache gets rebuilt.
[Galaxy S II General] ewdi:
Anyone have ODIN flashable and Kernel file for KJ4?
[Galaxy S II General] susteki:
You can get it here http://armalitexyz.jp/
[Galaxy S II General] ewdi:
Thx, just grabbed it from CheckFUS

I can't find the STK.i downloaded Sim Tool Kit somewhere here on xda and tried installing it.but the app manager says that i have it here on my sc-02c....i can't find it.can some help me?

One more thing...if root my sc-02c and flash a custom rom,could i still go back to the original form my s2 for warranty purposes?

TIA XDA devs.....
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
AFAIK, STK only shows up if you have a sim installed that has menu entries defined.
[Galaxy S II General] takoyaki17:
Yup sir...my sim has it,i've tried it on my dell streak 5...

Can i post a request here?

I need a step by step tut on rooting,flashing and all customization for ntt docomo sc-02c...newbie here.

Can someone compile the guide and download links for the tools needed in one post....

Thanks again XDA DEVS.
[Galaxy S II General] cmf68hk:
Anyone could help to post here caused it can not download if out of Japan...!(OMKJ4_factoryfs_root.zip)
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
KJ4 baseband is REALLY good. GPS is locking down to 5m in under 10s.

In this case use a japanese public proxy to download it:

Difficulty downloading 2.3.5

Anyone else having trouble downloading 2.3.5 with Kies?

Maybe too many people downloading it right now but I am on my third attempt now. I didn't try OTA because I have always been asked what my Samsung login is and that never works no matter how I try to login.

Also... When oh when is there ever going to be a SIMPLE guide for rooting this thing properly step-by-step without having to bounce around 10-15 threads? Obviously keeping 1seg and GPS intact.

Now I guess we will have to wait with 2.3.5
[Galaxy S II General] boou28:
Hi all,

I was just wondering what the properties are for SP-mode and what gets logged in as data. Do messages/emails for sp-mode count as data (packets)? Also, can I access my SP-email account from my computer? I assume that you can send email to the SP-mode email from a normal client like gmail. I was also wondering if the SP email app works alright on other roms than the stock. I read on this thread that it doesn't update new messages automatically? Is this an isolated case or common in all sc-02c phones that use a different rom or kernel than the stock?

As far as oneseg goes, is there anything on it that is interesting? or is it mostly just ads? and from what I've read it appears that oneseg will work if you reflash the old kernel (baseband etc.), but will the oneseg app work on most custom roms?

Also would like to say thanks for all the help on this thread and sorry if my questions are somewhat obvious. I can't seem to get much information out of the docomo sales people, given that my Japanese is horrible.

Oh and just a heads up if anyone in the future is going to be signing up with docomo...the shinsei bank cash card for the power flex account isn't compatible with their system, so if you want to go with docomo, I recommend using a different bank, at least based on my experience.

If you removed any of the bloat ware using root it will fail
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
- Upgrade to KJ4 via Kies/Odin/OTA

- Flash this with Odin

You're done
[Galaxy S II General] ExMM:
You can use any internet browser, let's take for example Firefox.

If you take a look in the link I gave you, you will see the IP address of the japanese provider and the port that you have to specified in your browers settings (example. IP 61.213.197.107 port:444)

1. Open Firefox and go to Tool>Options>Advanced>network tab.

Under connection click on "Settings"

2. Under Network – Connection > Click Settings and choose "manual proxy configuration"

3. Copy one of the IP address that you see in the list ( example 61.213.197.107) and the port ( 444 ) in the specified boxes.

4. Click ok and you are ready to go.

You can also google for any guide, I found this:

Hope this can help you, goodluck!

Hi, did the DoCoMo 3G OTA update to 2.3.5 tonight, and it appeared to install alright. But there seems to problems if bluetooth is active, to the point that both bluetooth is unusable/broken and the UI is crashing.

General behavior if bluetooth is on but not in use, UI at some point locks up, then goes to a black screen, get a short vibration, and then the lock screen comes back while loading as if it the UI itself was restarting (media scanner is running). The only good way to break out of the looping behavior is to connect to USB, where it will offer to turn off bluetooth to activate USB MTP mode.

Same behavior, regardless of whether wifi and/or 3G data is active or not. Rebooting the phone with bluetooth active or not makes no difference. Keeping bluetooth off is the only safe bet at the moment.

Anyone experiencing this with the 2.3.5 update?
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
I am unable to duplicate this. How long with bluetooth on-but-idle is necessary to trigger this behavior?
[Galaxy S II General] asteroza:
Between 4-30 seconds for the initial UI crash, between 4-14 when looping.

Going directly to the bluetooth settings and activating it there shows that it is starting but hangs there after a bit and crashes.

Watching it a little more carefully when looping, during the media scan, the bluetooth icon in the pull down drawer goes from inactive to active when wifi and GPS were already on. Trying to kill bluetooth from the drawer only goes halfway (dark green instead of bright green, before the crash occurs. Sometimes on the next load after I tried disabling it, the drawer icon does go from dark green to inactive and it stops looping.

Also noticed that once it starts looping, or broke it out of looping, if wifi is already on it is stuck continuously scanning for AP's, despite a remembered AP being right in front of it. Cycling wifi causes wifi to start working again. Some kind of driver issue?
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
I've had bluetooth switched on but idle for the last 3 hours and this hasn't triggered. Must be something just in your environment.
[Galaxy S II General] cmf68hk:

This one should work fine.

Ive already tried that apk and I can fake my UA but still cannot download anything.. Is it the phone?? Other usims seem to work just fine...
[Galaxy S II General] alexalex3:
Black sim is for iphone...maybe this is the problem...
[Galaxy S II General] etternity:
You can use it no problem dude. Ive bought sc-02c to use it with softbank usim card on july and my japanese friends too.. It was alright until monday than the problem showed up. My friends too are using black usim card on sc-02c with no problem.
[Galaxy S II General] alexalex3:
So if it's not your sim is your phone. I use gray Softbank sim on sc-02c and Docomo sim on iphone without problem, but I never used a black sim, was only an idea.
[Galaxy S II General] etternity:
I think you are right.... or can it be the usim??? Is it possible to change it without changing my tel number?
[Galaxy S II General] alexalex3:
Ask for a new USIM, Softbank shop will give you new one (but not for free).

Any tips?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I'm back again to explain my current problem.

I using DlevROM2 rom (thanks davidspy) with Siyah-NTT-v2 and i love it!

But I had a problem with

google map as the north and south are inversed.

I searching on internet and find it could be caused by the kernel .

does anybody have the same issue?

it happen only on google based app.

any Ideas are more than welcome?
[Galaxy S II General] dkflint723:
I noticed this as well with siyah-ntt-v2.
[Galaxy S II General] davidspwy:
u are welcome

i dont have your problem,but u can try v1.7.8;it has a higher benchmark:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] asteroza:
Follow up here;

1. Tried paring down apps related to bluetooth, no luck.

2. Tried removing all non carrier default apps, no luck. Actually made things worse, that after a boot, if I don't repeatedly try to kill bluetooth before the UI crashes and try to get MTP going, it loop crashes faster. Also, despite bluetooth being "off", MTP keeps offering to turn it off, and bluetooth keeps repeatedly goes active immediately after boot despite being "off" at shutdown.

3. Did a factory reset, that fixed it.

I guess there was something hidden that was misbehaving? The only other clue is after the factory reset, I noticed something new called Bluetooth Share running, apparently a Broadcom app. Perhaps that wasn't running well previously and was somehow required?

WIFI tethering

Dear,

I have a problem using wifi tethering on SC-02C. When I turned on WIFI tethering (Hot Spot), it turned off my 3G data. And cannot have internet access. Am I doing anything wrong on the phone? How to fix it? I tried to recovery my firmware by Samsung. But still not working. Everytime, 3G is turned off.

Can anyone help? What is the correct setting?

Bryan
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
never noticed this but maybe try re-calibrating the gyo or hitting up the post for the kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Are you using docomo service or are you unlocked and on another carrier?
[Galaxy S II General] Kachi21:
Hi everybody,

I'm new in the Android world.

I'm a Softbank user and I'm thinking about getting the Galaxy S2.

As all my friends are using a Softbank device, so I don't want to change my network to Docomo... That's why I think I'm going to order an unlocked Galaxy S2 from Hong Kong and use my Softbank sim card with it.

One of my main concern is the Japanese keyboard which is not available in the Galaxy S2 I'll receive from Hong Kong (that's what they told me...).

Would it be possible for me to add the stock Samsung Japanese Keyboard of the SC-02C in my imported Galaxy S2? I would like this keyboard to have all the (Docomo?) Emoji if possible.

In advance, thank you very much.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Why not buy a second-hand SC-02C and have docomo unlock it? It'll likely be less hassle, less expensive (about 45,000 including unlock), and will have japanese support soft already. (Note that no other firmware other than the SC-02C has japanese menus)
[Galaxy S II General] bryan_hk:
I'm using unlock and other carrier (3HK). Not Docomo! Is it the cause of problem by using other carrier??

Please tell me, thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Kachi21:
Thank you for your reply.

I don't need Japanese menu as I am French :) English is ok.

Yeah, I've already thought about this option, but the problem is that I don't really know if I will be able to send softbank sms and mms with the SC-02C without having any problem...

I know that you have to configure the APN setting to Softbank, but when you check the messaging (the one which allow you to send SMS) application, it doesn't allow you to attach files to your message to create MMS (as number-to-number MMS seems to be impossible with Docomo). Is there any way to make it possible?

Moreover, it looks also impossible to input Emoji in SMS/MMS as the Emoji button on the Samsung Japanese Keypad is grey-ish (cannot select it)...maybe there is a solution to make that possible as well?

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Not sure about the SMS or mms but if you think you will ever want to use docomo then the sc02c is the better bet or huh huh can not use the unlimited data apn.

You might want to check out go keyboard it does Japanese and English input and can do emoji.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Most likely that's the cause. While we haven't 100% confirmed, it is suspected that the stock SC-02C firmware invisibly changes your APN settings when you turn on tethering so that Docomo can charge you the premium tethering rate on your bill.

Naturally on another carrier this would break the data connection.
[Galaxy S II General] Kachi21:
Thank you for the advice.

I have a few more questions:

1 - Can you switch quickly between different input languages with Go Keyboard by just pressing one button for example like the iphone? (not touching and holding on the text area to change the input...)

2 - Can you also switch the same way between keyboard and emoji?

3 - Does the phone recognize emoji from iPhone users when using the Go Keyboard Emoji Plugin?

4 - And are the Go Keyboard Emoji recognized by iPhone users?

In advance, thank you very much for your help.

[Galaxy S II General] bryan_hk:
I'm using OMKJ4, but cannot do tethering. How do you set the APN?
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:

Dear all,

I am having a NTT DOcomo Samsung Galaxy S2 (SC02) model which is sim unlocked from NTT. I tried to put Softbank SIM , phone works absolutely fine. Even though I installed Softbank APN (which was being used before on another android phone) and trying to connect to 3G, doesnot work at all. It doesnot activate data network at all.

Any suggestion/solution is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

hi..that was my problem too 4days ago. I even go to softbank store but then I got no clear answer. they just gave me the apn, username and password. i almost give up on my sc-o2c,but then suddenly i noticed something is different from my previous sc-02b and sc02c setting. just do the same apn username and password that the CS gave u, and tick PAPorCHAP on the authentication type. Worked for me, hope it will help you.. )

How come? I cannot do wifi tethering absolutely. No matter how many times I re-install the stock ROM of SC-02C. Is there something I overlooked?

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

Anyone have tried to flash other country stock ROM on SC-02C? I want to install the Hong Kong stock ROM of I9100 to SC-02C. But it is not successful by using ODIN 1.8.5. It failed at the stage of flashing hidden.img. ANy possible method?
[Galaxy S II General] lqw24:
so,the japanese is less than others
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
You need to repartition to do this using an i9100 .PIT file.

The I9100 has 512MB FACTORYFS and 512MB HIDDEN partitions. The SC-02C has 612MB FACTORYFS and 412MB HIDDEN.

I don't recommend doing this.
[Galaxy S II General] marching:
After re-partitioning, shall we use the SC-02C modem or any i9100 modem like XXKI4?

I'm using the stock OMKJ4 and everything works well except I can't get H+ (21Mbps) speed in Hong Kong. I've confirmed that my SIM can get H+ with a i9100 model.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] bryan_hk:
What is the drawback of this? Why don't you recommend doing this?
