I do not like any of the I c s ro I do not like any of the I c s rom posted here, they are about half baked. 1 doesn't have the camera working another doesn't have the wifi working another 1 is crashing. I need something very very stable. So somebody can re post this I would very much appreciate it. And again no offense to that I c s developers, I'm sure they're doing the best they can.

On the xoom for example team eos does awesome for my motorola tablet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
Erm ok I don't think this is the thread to post in but anyways CM9 is a super stable ICS rom so I'm not sure how that's half baked.

Also; Don't necro a thread. This post doesn't even have to do with the thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
1. Your post is totally irrelevant in this thread, completely useless.

2. I've tried quite a few ICS ROMs and they ALL working properly and very stable IFF (if and only if) you know what to do.

3. If, for some reason, you don't like ICS ROM, you can always go back to GB.

4. If, for some reason, you still like ICS ROM, you can always using the official one and stay with it, don't flash anything else on the phone.

5. and if, for some reason, you don't like all options above, you can make your own and stop depending on other developers if you don't have patient or knowledge of following the instructions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Seems directly relevant to me. I think he's asking for a repost of the kernel. What he/she hasn't stated, however, is what format they need it in and what they're trying to accomplish.

Back to stock and attempting to get recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
But they were talking about ICS roms. I think they want a link to a stable ICS rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bowenac:
Anyone know where to get a odin? I see all this about flashing roms, I been trying to get CWM working but can't... this has to be the hardest phone to get anything done on. And no this is not my first phone I have rooted and flashed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Lol no this is one of the easiest phones to root and flash. Also Google is your friend I suggest using it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18859438&postcount=199 I don't understand how this phone is hard to root
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bowenac:
Again didn't say it was hard to root, like many other people I was confused about getting clockwork installed. Didn't see it in any stickys about having to flash a kernal via some paid mobile odin, since the lite version was NOT working for me. Could not find a tar file since Odin only works with tar files. None of this was in any of the guides and stickys. I had to poke around for hours and figured it out through questions from others and myself.

Thats why I decided to make the tutorial I did. But now it is closed because people acted like children because it was to easy for people and I guess you guys didn't like that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Stop starting ****, drop it. Also it is not necessary to have the paid version of mobile Odin to flash a kernel as I've done it many times. And the best explanation for why we reacted how we did was explained by the user karate. You took our constructive criticism and snapped back when it wasn't even necessary. So just let the topic drop.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] boondoc:
i was unaware of the superbrick bug, but i have not done a full wipe. i went straight to the CM wiki here and followed the steps to get CWM installed. it seemed successful and i can get into CWM and ODIN but my phone won't boot. it's stuck at the first splash screen.

i didn't want to start flashing things on top of this problem so other than making sure i could get into CWM i haven't touched it. am i hosed? what steps can i take to correct it?

if i need to go here, where do i start at?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
Factory reset

Bleh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] boondoc:
thanks for you reply. i guess i should state that this is a refurbished gs2 from att that came stock with 4.0.3 although i'm not sure of the exact firmware. a factory reset won't trigger the superbrick bug?

If you're on ics then what are you doing in this thread?

Sent from Team Pirate! Using Tapatalk 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] boondoc:
stock ics. i was wanting to flash CM9 so i went to the CM wiki page for the i777 and followed those instructions to flash CWM and then eventually flash CM9.

i figured the problem happened after flashing CWM so maybe reading this thread or someone that would respond to it would have some insight. is there a better place i should try for help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
That's your problem. You put a Gingerbread kernel on ICS. Load any custom ICS kernel via Odin; they all have clockwork recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] boondoc:
thank you.

so what i'm about to do now.

1. went to the Siyah thread and downloaded that kernel.

2. mounted storage in cwm

3. flash "Siyah-v4.3.2-MALI-JB-mswap.zip" in cwm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Whoa....I thought you said stock ICS. If that's the case, download 4.3.2 ICS. The version you typed is for CM10. Once you've flashed the correct kernel version for stock ICS, flash whatever you want (a kernel will likely be included). If the included kernel isn't what you want, change it after.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] boondoc:
HAHA yeah i noticed that after i finished typing, had to take a call and forgot to update it but i went back and got the the "Siyah-v4.3.2-ICS-mswap.zip" file.

thank you, going to flash now. but this is exactly the reason i typed it all out first so i didn't compound any mistakes.

edit: thank you sir, that did the trick. i presume i'm safe from the superbrick now so i can factory reset when flashing roms to my hearts content?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
U wouldn't want to use a mic swap kernel if you're running stock ics. U want the non-mic swap kernel.

Hey E! I work for att and I can tell you that they are not going to give you a fan discount on your phone. It's only good for a discount on your voice plan. However, you can go to an authorized retailer and ask them to give you a little price discount. If you are the primary account, then they make 25 or 30 off your data, 20-30 off your unlimited messaging and 30-90 off your voice plan depending on what tier your on. So I think getting a 25 dollar discount would be fine. They could careless about your fan discount. It has nothing to do with anything...

If you had the top tier voice plan with unlimited messaging and 25 or 30 dollar data then i would make 150 bucks off your phone. Every authorized dealer company has different commissions for their employees but I was just saying you could ask for a little price break, never hurts.

Pm me if you have any questions sorry this was off subject.

Are you able to pull the PIT file from heimdall?

i get an error connecting to the device
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No errors here, however the image I flashed is not booting.

The system dump that was provided was created using tar instead of dd and might have some permissions issues of some sort. Can someone who has flashed get a system dump in the following manner?

First, find out what partition /system is on by running mount in an ADB shell:

mount

Once you have identified the system partition's device, run the following

dd if=/dev/systempartition of=/sdcard/system.img bs=1M

where systempartition is the block device found with the previous command.

Once you get it, zip it up and post it to multiupload or some other public fileshare please.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] netchip:
Maybe you can do: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/system_dump.img bs=4096

Zip that up and upload here.

EDIT: it is dev
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I can't at this point - my /system has already been overwritten with an (apparently) bad flash.

SWEET. It worked this time. Something about my rooting technique hosed it. Bone stock works fine. Now to root.

this wont be grabbing my personal info will it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
System is normally read-only and contains no personal info. Personal info is in /data

Our tar-based dump MIGHT be OK - but it's better safe than sorry to have a dd-based dump.

Edit: BINGO! I'm rooted via /system with a stock kernel. Turns out the reference ZIP I was using for installation of root was bad. It installed su to /system/bin and symlinked to /system/xbin - this caused the device to fail to boot. I pulled su and Superuser.apk from my Infuse and put them in the correct place and I'm good.

Any custom kernel will do that. It's Samsung's fairly benign form of bootloader locking. Some manufacturers (Motorola, newer HTCs) won't even boot an unsigned kernel, Samsung just prints a warning.

He means the stock kernel dump I posted. It's not really my kernel - I'm just the one that dumped it from my device. I haven't posted a kernel yet. I do have a custom kernel that seems to be working, but in general, I've got a personal "eat my own dogfood" rule - I rarely post anything that I haven't tested for at least 1-2 days unless I'm positive it's a minor change that won't break anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] simpl3lang:
yah i flashed that stock + root dump by entropy512 when i was trying to get root. my windows 7 64bit just wont root my phone using superoneclick. yah entropy512's release was helpful in removing the yellow triangle but it also removed CWM. i reinstalled CWM using the method on the first using odin and now im back with the yellow triangle. but i guess thats common with samsung as stated on the post above this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Common with newer Samsungs. Infuses received an OTA update (UCKH1) that added this "Feature" to the bootloader too. (If you installed the UCKH1 OTA.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] atinm:
And it turns out, if you flash a kernel after using the USB jig to get into download mode, the triangle goes away - at least it does on the international version, regardless of which kernel you're actually flashing.

I'll try to do a build this morning, otherwise I won't be able to do it until tonight.

I assume you mean https://github.com/teamhacksung/clockworkmod_galaxys2att_initramfs instead - you linked to the Sprint initramfs.

Edit: Tried pulling in your recovery binary, which git says is the only change, into my initramfs. Seems to be back to the old behavior now.

VolUp + VolDn = normal

Power = toggles menus off/on

Home = Select

Back = Back

While the Power behavior can be a little confusing, at least the keymapping is usable unlike the other one, and it's easy enough to fix the documentation for now. :)

However codeworkx or any dev correct me if im wrong

Drew
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Known issue - the method SOC uses to root some devices is the same method a lot of Android malware used. That's why all the old rooting methods don't work any more. For newer devices, SOC only works for giving permaroot to a device that has been temp-rooted by an insecure kernel.

I don't know if codeworkx's latest initramfs commit is included in the download, but it's related to external SD. Either the commit will fix your problem or is what broke it.

I9100 on splash is expected with any custom kernel.

Don't know why you can't enter recovery. Someone elsewhere indicated they were using only VolUp which won't work. There's a reason it's called the three-finger. :)
