SBL?

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 PM ----------

Downloaded and installed but it rebooted very fast. Still says 2.3.6 - WTF?

Went back to update and says update is available, downloading it again. Not sure what happened.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
I have uploaded the new Modem here

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4z-U6zSyuryWWNUTzBRek05ZlU

It is not a flashable ZIP but you can install the modem.bin with heimdall or Mobile Odin. I don't have time to make a flashable ZIP right now.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Crap, it starts installing and gets to 14% and then reboots back to previous version and says updated to OMLE1. WTF?

Should I use kies instead? Each time it completely starts over on the download.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
i would say try kies.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
It says my device does not support software upgrading via kies. Faaaack....

Any suggestions? I am stock rooted, didn't delete any bloat ware. OTA downloads ok
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Go back to stock or manually flash the files using Heimdal or Odin. If you search this thread you should see info on how to do that.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
So unroot it? I am stock rooted - never installed Siyah or any other ROMs. Last update OTA was fine. Only difference is that I now have a new SD card cuz the old one was giving me fits. I have put the old one back in and downloaded the newest Kies for Mac and will check and see if that changes anything.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
It might be checking for root. I know the last time I had trouble doing OTA updates I had to flash back to the factory defaults, connect via kies and then update.

Also you might want to make sure USB debuging is turned on when running kies.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Obviously Karma is kicking me in the ass for *****ing. Updating Kies did nothing attempting OTA one more time.

Maybe Kies for windows would work better. The mac version is the US version so that may have an affect.

I had a hell of a time rooting the first time cuz there were so many ways in this thread. Evildave helped big time on that and then I even wrote everything that I did. Searching this thread is a pain to find things at times. What if I just factory reset the thing? If I can reroot it later then I can reinstall titanium backup right? I'd hate to go that route. The other OTA's worked fine - not sure why this one is giving me fits.

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

Maybe getting stock ICS rooting instructions on here is a good idea now.

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

I read on another thread that having the original SD card in was needed, not sure why so I put it in for now to see.

On a happier side note - ordered a Google Nexus 7 the other day. LOL.

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

Also uninstalled superuser to see if any affect.

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

Same - this time right before install it said not enough internal memory to install update, uninstall apps and try again but then it rebooted anyways. Got to 16% this time. I have to go to work in a few so i will have to try again tomorrow or later this evening. Interesting that it allows me to reinstall and run superuser but it says, when trying to check out titanium backup, that phone is not rooted now. Looks like it unroots the phone and does not allow the update. It definitely removed the su abilities. Screw it - factory reset it.

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

That screwed it up. Now it just keeps rebooting - any ideas?

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ----------

The links for the stock update are not working does anyone have the stock update I can add to my sd card to restore this?
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Just use Check Fus v2 to download the latest update and then install it using heimdall or odin.

I don't use odin only Heimdall so for heimdall just decrypt and extract the firmware and then run the following command as root or administrator

"heimdall flash --kernel zImage --cache cache.img --factoryfs factoryfs.img --hidden hidden.img --modem modem.bin --param param.lfs"

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

you will want to run that command from download mode
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
I don't know what you mean. Sorry for my idiocy. I am using a mac, I have a pc but the phone just will not reboot. When I had issues with my original SD card I reformatted it and then replaced it. I can get into the stock recovery but it is asking for a update zip file to restore things with. Are you saying that I have to do all of this from a windows machine? When the device is not even recognized because it stays in the recoevery mode waiting for me to tell it what to do?

[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Ok i have the heimdall frontend loaded, phone is connected in download mode (says do not turn off target) heimdall does not see it?

Went to the Check fus website (that is the most confusing part) the downloader is only a windows version (do I have to do this part on a windows machine?), on the webver below that I selected Latest normal, preset, Japan, Android Os, then send and then it did something for a minute and then output this -

File name:

SC-02C_DCM_1_20120614101710_likcv55g99.zip.enc2

But where is the file downloading to - no popups, heimdall still doesn't recognize the phone and it's just sitting on the downloading screen on my phone but nothing is happening.....

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

Can I turn the phone off?????? Nothing is happening - just sitting in download mode.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
As long as you didn't upload anything it is fine to turn off.

First step is to make sure your computer can recognize your phone via USB. After that we can try fixing it.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
I do not think it can recognize it, but not too sure as to the order of making it recognize is. I know that I can get into recovery mode on the phone to upload an update.zip file that I can copy to the SD card like in the old days and that appears to be the only way I am going to get things rollings.

So if the phone is in download mode I should be able to see it on Heimdall? If I detect it?

Also, it will take me a while but I can download the huge ass 400mb kies sammobile zipped file. Still not sure how to get things going even if I downloaded it. So getting the pc to recognize the phone is first you say?....

Thanks also for all the help thus far - I sure know what not to do in the future.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Ok, If I go to recovery mode and I have kies open kies acts like it is trying to connect but never does.

I have now made a connection with odin on a windows machine in download mode - I am gonna search this out and see what I can do.

OK so this Check Fus downloader 2.1 (windows version) (still have no idea what the web version does - it sure doesn't spit out a downloadable version of anything when you hit send) thing is only showing me OMLE1 is available to download, so I am downloading it while ODIN awaits. I d'led it once before but it failed the CRC check at the very end. Based on everything that I have read tonight I am finally where I need to be. Finally got the phone to be rcognized via USB via ODIN on Windows but now can't find the right files to decode/unzip, etc. Hopefully the OMLE1 version will pass CRC check this time and decode using the CheckFus thingamajig.

It's awfully quiet in this forum at night... maybe everyone else is busy playing with Fresh ICS.... Grrr.
[Galaxy S II General] E43JAP:
OK. Now that the official ICS has been released for Japan, how do I root this sumbich so I can uninstall all this crap. I just want to be able to use my titanium and keep it as stock as possible. (factory kernel because of the different hardware) :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Back up to 2.3.6 OMLE1 - stuff is syncing etc... butttttttttt......

Connect to Kies and says I have latest firmware, try OTA and says no update available. No how am I going to get it updated now????
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Awesome, you are now a pro ;)

Try downloading over wifi again I am betting it should work now.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
No dice. Still says no update. Very odd indeed. But, I did download the tar.md5 from SamMobile and should be able to do the exact same thing that I did with 2.3.6. Wish me luck.

Very odd that the update thing is not working. Not sure how far Docomo will take this phone - will they ever update to Jelly Bean? I am thinking that they won't but after I get ICS in - then and only then - will I attempt to root again.

So if you, @zaphod777, already know how I can root it and keep it basically stock, please send me the instructions sooner rather than later.

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

ICS 4.0.3 installed. Up and running. It seems pretty nice so far. Now, who is going to tell me how to root this thing while keeping all of Docomo's stuff intact for now.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Strange, it looks like they pulled the ICS update, maybe it was messing with some devices like yours. Before I was able to download it using Check Fus v2.1 I know when I installed it on my wife's phone it wiped out all of her home screen shortcuts so maybe that is what they are fixing.

Maybe someone else can chime in but after you are on ICS if you install Siyah kernel 3.3.2 and boot up once it should install root. You can then re-install the stock kernel on your device and that "should" give you root and otherwise keep you pretty stock.

I would say use Odin since that has given you the best luck but I can't say how since I use the command line version of heimdall on Linux.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Maybe that's why it wouldn't update and why CheckFus couldn't find it either. I have it now and I am pretty sure that I can find someone who has installed a kernel using Odin to install Siyah.

What I am not sure of is where I would get the stock kernel unless you are saying to run the whole tar.md5 update thing again. How do I get just the kernel out of that?

Would be nice to get Titanium backup back up to restore things. If I can at this point.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
You can extract that using something like 7zip. You will then need to unzip the next zip file. Once you have those unzipped the kernel is the "zImage" file. Again someone else should be able to tell you how to install that using Odin.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Stuffit expander on Mac worked to extract all the files.

Is this the Siyah file you mean? SiyahKernel S3-v1.3.5beta.

So I have the siyah file (not the CWM zip just the )- not sure if I needed to unzip that but I think that since it is a tar file it should be fine. I am just looking for instructions on how to use odin to do this now and I think I will be rooted by this afternoon.

It appears that you are right and that Docomo pulled the update for "anomolies" - One that I found is that the palette.ui is not working at all. Tries to load and then freezes and then goes back to lock screen so you can select it again. I started using Holo Launcher and I also love Launcher pro.
[Galaxy S II General] HazukiYada:
How to root omlpg 4.0.3?
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Well that didn't work - the Siyah thing that is. Did the Odin thing with it and it failed and then phone had a little tiny green line of words at the top saying some jpg couldn't load - so reflashing the ICS (takes time but is the only thing that works for me right now) I think once I see some explicit instructions on re-rooting this thing I will probably do it then.

So I can reflash back to the stock ICS it appears anytime. Pro? Not yet but zaphod777 is a good ally.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
That is a Galaxy S III kernel.

You want http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/public/files/siyahkernel/v3.0/Siyah-v3.3.2.tar
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Ok I have the Siyah installed - that flashed really damn quick. What now?

I tried to reflash the zimage.tar file I created taken from the Docomo tar.md5 file but it stuck on Odin saying "Firmware update start" and the "zimage" and then nothing for like ten minutes.

So instead of unplugging the phone I held the power button until it shut off - of course I realized that may have not been the best thing to do but.... - so when it rebooted at first it said the docomo screen and the yellow triangle.

Did I just do something wrong with the zimage? Is there a problem with the yellow triangle? Can I just leave it rooted with Siyah on there or will that be a problem?
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
I'm not sure about the issue with Odin but the yellow means that you have flashed a non stock kernel. Anyway, Siyah is an excellent kernel however there are two issues:

1- you will not have 1seg support

2- you need to install the GPS patch posted in this thread to enable GPS.

other than those two things it is a very good kernel
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
But if I go back to the stock kernel (zimage thing) if I can figure out how, 1 seg and gps stay intact? And I may still be rooted?

Are you sure gps is not working? Appears to be on my phone.

I have the files if someone can figure them out and make a good zimage.tar file. It just locked up and acted like nothing was happening but had no errors in odin.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
GPS and 1seg will work just fine with the default stock ICS kernel and I am pretty sure that it will stay rooted when you switch back to the stock kernel but someone can correct me if I am wrong.
[Galaxy S II General] HazukiYada:
So…how to root OMLPG ??
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
It doesn't stay rooted. At least not by restoring the whole tar.md5 file.

So what I did now was reinstall the Siyah kernel, ruin titanium backup to get my apps restored and then go back and flash to stock. Once someone can figure out how to get this rooted to stock kernel I will root again.

Keyboard issues and the palette ui are definitely issues though I am not as affected because I am using the us swype keyboard.
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:
Flash siyah 3.3.2,then phone will get root automatically.

Then you can flash back stock omlpg kernel,the root won't disappear.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Not 3.3.2 but 3.2.2? I used 3.3.2.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Either one should be fine as long as it is the S2 kernel not the S3 kernel he has on his site.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Thanks @wjchen0 and @zaphod777 - now I have Docomo (crappy release, but working) rooted ICS stock.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Does anyone have the new Area Mail APK files? And if they would be so kind to put in a CWM ZIP file?
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Download Siyah 3.3.2 from here - http://www.gokhanmoral.com/ download the .tar file.

Download the stock kernel from the link in wjchen0's post above.

Download and install Odin if you can find it for windows.

Put phone in download mode - do not connect cable yet - hold the power, volume down and home keys all together until you get to the download screen - open odin - connect your usb cable and hit the volume up key on the phone.

You should see the android robot and the word downloading in big letters and odin should come up with a yellow box saying a com port (port number does not matter it just tells you that it recognizes the phone)

Click on the PDA button and locate the Siyah .tar file you downloaded.

Press start - only takes a few moments and when done you should see a big green box saying pass.

Disconnect the usb cable when you see that and let the phone reboot.

Congrats you are now rooted.

Now you are going to do it all over again

Place phone in download mode

connect it to the cable

make sure odin recognizes it again

unzip the wjchen0 file you downloaded - it should unzip a file called kernel.tar

click the pda button and point it to that file

click start

green box and disconnect cable

done

congrats you are now stock rooted

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

If you could teach me how to do that I would.

Also, now that I am stock rooted, can I use CWM without any issues?
[Galaxy S II General] HazukiYada:
Thanks!!!

GPS still Working after rooted??
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
I think so. Found my location with wifi turned off fine. I will have to figure out how to test it properly and let you know.
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:
Only custom kernel support CWM.

The safe way to use CWM is switch back to siyah kernel.

Maybe we need cf-root kernel for omlpg...
[Galaxy S II General] clement.km:
WJ, can you kindly share the OMLPG modem file to me? Thanks :good:

Official ICS for SC-02C

Official ICS update for SC-02C is here: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162186733/4e9f1d7/P6210UBLA1_P6210ZTOLA2_ZTO.zip.html
[Galaxy S II General] Sharpen3d:
So it looks like I was able to use both area mail and the disaster kit after installing the ICS update, backing selected items up with titanium and then restoring them after changing rome (Remix Revolution, if anyone cares). Someone requested the area mail earlier, so here it is:

and the disaster kit for good measure

http://www.4shared.com/archive/3Mr-fzj6/jpconttdocomosaigaiban-bbdde61.html

I have no idea if these work. They install properly, no crashes, but I think the real test is when an earthquake arrives...

Sidenote: is there ANY way to get one-seg working without the docomo kernel?

jammed all up

Hey guys...got a weird issue that just popped up today. I've been running a nightly build of ICS on my SC-02c for a couple of months now with no problems. I installed it following the guide on JapanMobileTech, used the correct kernel, applied the relevant patches, etc. Ran great for months.

Today, I was fiddling around on the internets, and the browser hung. No big deal, it happens from time to time. I held down the power button to reboot the phone. Upon rebooting, I got error messages from all the google apps, the browser wouldn't launch, firefox crashed, etc. Hmmm, thought I, and rebooted from the boot menu. This time the CM9 boot animation ran SUUUUPPPPPEEEEERRRRR Slow, spun for about 5 minutes before I popped the battery out and rebooted. Subsequent reboots have all failed, the CM9 boot animation just plays and plays and plays. I've tried to reboot to recovery (hold vol key up) but no luck. Just the siyah kernel bootsplash then the CM9 animation.

I'd like to clear the cache and dalvik cache, as I think it was a memory issue that caused the initial crash, but I need help getting back to the recovery screen. Ideas anyone?

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

Was doing at least one thing wrong... to get to recovery reboot while holding vol up AND home at the same time. Wiped the cache...rebooting...fingers crossed.... and... no love.

full wipe and reboot next.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
You may also try the option to "fix permissions" from the recovery menu. Also the newer CM9 builds have been pretty stable so you might want to install one of those.
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:
Thanks Zaphod, but still no workee workee. I realized I'm still on the 2.6.x siyah kernel, so I'm going to upgrade to 3.2.x, install resurrectionremix and dual boot CM9 RC1. Figure if I'm in for a penny, I might as well be in for a pound. Checked my md5sums...here goes nothing!

Oh, I still have the patches I used on the initial CM9 install..will I need them as well with resurrection_remix? Are there updated versions? Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:
So I wiped everything and installed resurrection remix which is up and running fine. I don't think the GPS is working properly though. Will the patch from the CM9 howto work properly with this rom?
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:

The GPS patch fixed my GPS. I have a phone signal but no spmode connectivity. Is there a new radio to flash from the docomo ics rom ?
[Galaxy S II General] KurskS:

What's "sp-mode mail" app? I don't know what it's used for? Can i uninstall it? It's OK?
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
The Japanese love using it. It's a sort of text messaging/email that they are familiar with. Your sp-mode email address will be a user Id followed by @docomo.ne.jp. I think they charge a few hundred yen per month to use it. Others can chime in about this if I am wrong.
[Galaxy S II General] Skv012a:
So after trying ICS, new issue popped up: softbank email app is incompatible, which is fine since i setup Go SMS instead, but now I cant easily mms email people... Only phone numbers can be easily added as recipients. If i pop someones email in manually from my phonebook, it sends fine as mms, but it simply wont use the app itself to email...

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Email and SMS are different functions.
[Galaxy S II General] gdflash:
No luck getting CM9 RC1 or RR working properly with data connectivity with Siyah Kernel 3.3.2.

Am I correct in thinking that because there isn't a build of Siyah 3.x specifically for the SCo2c that I shouldn't expect them to work?

I'm downloading the last NTTDoCoMo specific Siyah 2.6.13 and will try it with CM9. If that doesn't restore full functionality I will begin to worry.:(

After carefully rereading the JMT guide to ICS, I realize that recent Siyah Kernels have built in support for the SC02c. So, I went back with the latest (3.3.2), and the most recent CM9 nightly, followed all the instructions, added the SPmode APN, checked to make sure I have the right modem (OMKL4)...and still no data connectivity. WiFi works fine, however. I'm all out of ideas.

Anyone?
[Galaxy S II General] khoaak01:
I rooted my phone by Siyahkernel 3.3.2 and trouble happenned. I think it doen't fix with flash player, because when i opened video file i couldn't see anything on screen, just sound. It happen with file in phone and some where like youtube.

Anyone like me?

What tool do you guys use to root SC-02C with ICS ROM? Plz show me!!!!!!
