Installed Wayland_Ace's CM11 build tonight. Somehow it broke my unlock so badly that not only did I have to revert back to my SimmoF CM10 nandroid, I also had to restore my efs backup to get it unlocked again.

It looked quite smooth from the time I played with it.
[Galaxy S II General] AndroidNoobMaster:
POUND Rom

I saw a Korean based kitkat ROM in here its called POUND rom have a look. They say its quite stable.
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:
CM11 is very smooth and stable enough for daily use.

And the CM10's patch still work for CM11. http://d-h.st/xzV

Sim locked, google "GalaxSim Unlock" may help.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
I can't figure out what would cause my unlock to go wonky when installing cm11. I looked at the updater-script (added an assert entry for SC-02C) and it didn't seem to touch the efs partition. Were you indeed using it with SC02COMLPL baseband?

I will give the install another go tonight, and if the unlock goes bad again, try the efs restore while still on cm11.
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:
I'm using OMMP4 baseband.

My phone was sim locked when I first flash official 4.0.4 rom for international i9100.

Then I unlocked it use galaxsim unlock.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
I was able to get the Pound CM11 installed properly tonight after some efs fiddling.

What I did:

flashed an OMMP4 modem via odin just in case OMLPL was causing my unlock issues (it wasn't)

flash the pound-recommended cm10.2 kernel

reboot recovery

flash signed_cm9-build.prop.zip (because I didn't feel like fixing the asserts)

reboot recovery

factory reset

format /system

flash cm-11-20131124-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip (pound latest version) (I chose i9100 and all defaults in Aroma)

flash wjchen0's GPS fix

reboot
[Galaxy S II General] JiroPrinz8:
Hey there guys, would like to get a little assistance as to where do i start.

So i just got an sc-02c, and it's still running stock 2.3.3 :eek:

Here's what i know so far.

It's rooted

Running GB 2.3.3 OMKF2

Baseband is MKF2

That's all i have.

Ultimately, i want to be able to install a sammy i9100 JB ROM, I dont need any of the docomo apps as i'm in the Philippines, so i prefer to gwt to as stock.as i.can.possibly can.

Would appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction. Im pretty versed with Odin and flashing.in general, just need to find the necessary files.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
For a samsung JB rom you're going to want an i9100 image (XWMS1 would be OK) from www.samfirmware.com and siyah kernel 5.0.1 SC-02C version from www.gokhanmoral.com to get the GNSS working right (I don't know if more recent versions have the tweaks for SC-02C GPS built in). Be aware that you're only going to have Band I 2100MHz 3G compatibility on the SC-02C in Philippines. Fortunately that band is covered by all the carriers there but you will not have access to Smart's Band V or Globe's Band VIII frequencies.
[Galaxy S II General] JiroPrinz8:
Thanks for the headsup on the frquency compatability, so if i understand correctly this is hardware related right? As if so then i have no issues as i do have good signal from where im at right now.

Anyway, so XWMS1 from samfirmware, I'd assume i can choose any country listed on there right? As i see croatia, nordic countries, etc.

And for the siyah kernel, iirc i flash this via odin after flashing the firmware, right? :silly:

Thanks a bunch for your help mate. :thumbup:
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
XWMS1 is Croatia I believe. Its the most recent JB release and seems to be at least as good as the earlier ones reportedly.

There are two versions of Siyah, one is Odin flashable, other recovery-flashable, but since this will be a first time flash from a samsung rom you will need to use the Odin version. (Recovery on most recent Samsung phones is bundled in the kernel image, not in a seperate partition)

As long as you've got a good signal where you need it you should be OK. The sub-1GHz bands that you won't have do penetrate better into buildings though.

You may also want to experiment with changing the modem over to a more recent japanese one rather than accepting the one bundled with the rom image you choose. You might want to look at SC02COMLPL or SC02COMMP4.
[Galaxy S II General] JiroPrinz8:
Thanks mate, downloading the XWMS1 firmware now. Will flash it in Odin then flash siyah and let you know how itgoes.

Also, there's been a lot of talk on efs lately, both in the sgs3 forums and the Optimus G as well. You guys recommend backing up efs before Doing anything? I used terminal commands to backup efs on the optimus G and there's an app that does it on the s3, how bout for the S2? As I'm pretty sure the commands i used on my Optimus G won't work on the S2 though.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
I strongly recommend having an efs backup, its saved my bacon on a couple occasions, search galaxsim unlock or galaxys unlock helroz in play store.
[Galaxy S II General] JiroPrinz8:
Thanks. Did a search via root explorer and I found an efs folder, did a simple copy/paste. Will also backup using those apps for good measure. Thanks. :thumbup:
[Galaxy S II General] JiroPrinz8:
[MENTION=4064448]evildave_666[/MENTION] mate can't seem to.find a specific siyah 5.0.1 for sc-02c, the one on gokhanmoral.com is i think generally for i9100, is thisbthe same one?
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
I was using 5.0.1 with 4.1.2 on CM10 but it seems that the current wisdom is to use Siyah 6.0 latest and flash either wjchen0's GPS fixer or SimmoF's any rom tweaker.

I never touched Samsung stock 4.1.2.
[Galaxy S II General] JiroPrinz8:
Ok, so i failed using odin 1.85, but was able to flash XWMS1 successfully using odin 3.07.

Aaaanndd now stuck in a bootloop. :p

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Use philz kernel + my tweaker after you install a rom.

Don't forget to wipe.
[Galaxy S II General] JiroPrinz8:
Yep figured that out reading your tweaker thread. :thumbup:

Im downloading neatrom superlite now, i do have a working recovery to initially flash a rom (latest siyah) since neatrom comes with pholz, i should just flash neatrom, reboot recovery then flash your tweaker right?
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
That's right.
[Galaxy S II General] wiwibrown:
thanks, that's useful to me.
[Galaxy S II General] JiroPrinz8:
Awesome got it to work! Now running neatrom with simmof's tweaker.

Huge thanks to [MENTION=4372075]SimmoF[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4064448]evildave_666[/MENTION] thanks mates!

P.S. everything seems to be working fine, only thing i see as an issue right now is that i cant sync google contacts. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] AndroidNoobMaster:
POUND rom

Any battery/overheat issues?
[Galaxy S II General] JiroPrinz8:
Reflashed NeatROM without flashing [MENTION=4372075]SimmoF[/MENTION] s tweaker and the issue with googlenot syncing contacts is now gone. Now i know that the tweaker ia supposed to fix the gps issue and flash the correct baseband, so i thought of flashing the baseband file found on simmofs gdrive, however got an unknown baseband after. So i had to reflash the rom. I do have signal but of course would like to have the correct baseband. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Initially some issues with fast battery discharge, particularly with google+ and play services, but managed to tweak setting and get them under control. Still losing a couple percent an hour idle though but that's par for the course with a rom this early in development. Some of the alternate 4.4 kernels are supposed to be a little better, may experiment with them this weekend.

There's a free way to unlock a Galaxy SII Docomo SC-02C bought in Japan to use in Brazil? I have found the Galaxy_S Unlock app on the market but i don´t bought the smartphone yet. Can someone test for me?
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
It works, I used it a year or so ago to unlock my wife's.

FYI, if you're expecting the One-Seg to work there, it won't.
[Galaxy S II General] reload99:
What is "One-Seg"?
[Galaxy S II General] reload99:
So its OK to buy a second hand DoCoMo Galaxy S2 SC-02C on Japan and unlock with this app to use in Brazil?
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
The digital TV. Brazil uses the japanese TV standard, but there are enough differences that the tuner in the SC-02C will not work in Brazil. (The international ISDB-Tb standard broadcasts One-Seg in 30fps but the original japanese ISDB-T standard only uses 15fps)
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
I have used all 3 of the following to unlock SC-02Cs that have passed through my hands at one time or another:

Docomo in-store unlock (3150 yen)

Helroz's app (Galaxy_S Unlock) (free)

GalaxSIM Unlock (400 yen in-app payment)

All of them have worked. The GalaxSIM unlock seems to leave the nv_data in efs in the cleanest state, but all of them basically do the job. I would recommend using GalaxSIM Unlock unless Google Play doesn't support in-app payments in Brazil.

[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
PhilZ kernel is only for up to 4.3.

Install Gustav's or Apollo.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
As a followup to my earlier experiences with Pound Rom, I updated to 20131213 nightly, and installed Gustav kernel (and reapplied wjchen0's GPS fix) this morning.

Hi, [MENTION=4064448]evildave_666[/MENTION],

That's the post you told about?

Where can i download "the pound-recommended cm10.2 kernel" and "signed_cm9-build.prop.zip"? Please show me!!! :(
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Any recent 4.3+ kernel will do, as long as it has a reasonably recent CWM (and NOT TWRP).

signed-cm9-build.prop.zip you can probably find a location for somewhere earlier in the thread. Alternately you can modify the installer script in the rom if it throws assert errors when you try to install. All it does is alter the build.prop in the recovery image such that the recovery believes that its an i9100 regardless of whether the kernel was compiled for sc-02c, m250, etc.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Never mind, set up a new build VM and pushed it in this morning.

Does anyone have a CM build environment fully set up at the moment with all the keys/etc. set up to push commits back to gerrit?

I have a 1 line change I'd like to get committed to android_devices_samsung_i9100/BoardConfig.mk to add assert support for SC-02C but I don't have a machine with build environment at the moment. I can provide the diff, its just tacking 7 characters on at the end of 1 line. I've got a repo running to pull stuff down but its taking forever.

I succeed to flash Pound Rom to my SC-02C,thank you so much. But there is a problem with this. I lost my model number. My "SC-02C" became "GT I9100" in "about phone" page. How can i fix it?

This is my screen shot:
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Its just cosmetic. If you really want to change it, edit your build.prop's ro.product.device.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
My commit to cm10.2/cm11 was merged, so SC-02C can pretty much be considered a supported device now (on par with i9100T/i9100P) in the i9100 device build.

You still need to flash the SC-02C GPS fix zip but assert errors on install should be a thing of the past.

this looks great. can you help me get mine working this long? I have been able to install slimkat 4.4.2 ,but the screen comes up as using the most of the power,such that I have to charge every day even if idle.thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Important things:

Install Gustavo_s or Apollo kernel, the supplied kernel isn't optimized for i9100 or sc-02c (meant for M250 korean versions)

Don't install Google+

Disable Google Now

Install BetterBatteryStats or similar tool to look at your wakelock

mobile data off when sleeping

wifi off unless awake or charging

Use the wakelock blocker if you can find anything suspicious with BBS

You may notice that this phone has no data connectivity when sleeping, this is intentional. Its meant to do one thing and one thing only: receive SMS and not need charging that often.

Yes, but I really recommend upgrading to SC02C-OMLPL and then using Siyah 3.5.2 ntt kernel, this way the tv and GPS will work, and you will have Androids 4.0.3 ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Remember though that OTAs don't work unless you have a MCC440/MNC10 SIM. Will need to do a wipe update with odin or try to apply it with Kies (which never worked well) in order to do that.

OK, I will give you a quick guide but you will have to research yourself on how to do it.

You need the SC02C-OMMP7 from here or here.

Also Odin from here.

The Samsung mobile drivers from here.

Siyah 3.5.2 ntt .tar version from here in the S2 folder.

Follow this Odin flash guide.

Already roorted the phone with the SC02COMMP7 then with SiyahKernel_3.5.2-ntt.tar with no problem, but still i cannot network unlock the phone, both "Galaxy S Unlock" and "Galaxy S2 SIM Unlocker" does not work. Is there another procedure to SIM Unlock this phone for me to use another sim card?

Great update and the phone response more faster than before, only, i cannot use it my phone....

The KBC AOSP kernel doesn't seem to work properly with Pound ROM.

Gave the KBC cm11 a spin. As expected, GNSS locks fast with no tweaking. Phone.apk is repeatedly FCing, so back to the 20131220 Pound on it for the moment.

Looking forward to trying Pound ROM with a KBC cm11 kernel soon. Right now waiting until lion0738 gets his repos consistent with current cm11 (he's doing another i9100 build soon even though he's disposed of his S2) before trying anything.
