[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ilumur:
Hi guys,

I've installed kernel 2.6.3.7-pref-CL561540 dhiika@phiexz #7 on my stock ROM

version: 2.3.4

baseband: S5660XXKQ5

Build: Gingerbread.JIKQ7

it works good, but i have one problem:

sometimes I can't turn on the WIFI , getting error.

just after reboot it's turning on. and sometimes this problem happens with bluetooth or 3G network. So, every time i need to reboot my phone to connect him to WIFI or Bluetooth hands free car system, or 3G network.

Is there some solution for this issue, or some softreset to the WiFi/3G/BT?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] MatZ69:
Do you mout the system when you installed this kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] blacklord9:
Installing the scripts does not work. I managed to get it partially working by manually pushing the files from my computer (because CWM recovery flashing does not work) but I still got segmentation fault.

It would seem the android OS has some kind of folder based quota and on the stock rom it would seem system/bin is already full so flashing the scripts generally fails because it can't copy all of the files.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Is there a way to get the normal boot animation and use this kernel??
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] phiexz:
use root explorer

go to /system/bin

remove or rename file "bootanimation". and then rename file "samsungani" to "bootanimation"
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Ok thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] MatZ69:
Can you explain how to patch de servises.jar for BLN? :S
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Café King:
How does bln work if I flash this kernel on stock rom?

I mean, if I don't do any work on it...

/CK
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
You have to do something at framework.jar , but you need to have kinda good skills to do it
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] TeHashX:
You don't have to patch anything, the last version 2.1 has BLN included.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
How to enable it then?? Or test if it works??
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] TeHashX:
Download "BLN control - Free" from market and test...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
thanks for telling. I thought you had to modify it self, but you didn't. it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Surfboomerang:
I flashed version 2.1 on my GioPro 1.4. Worked great except for Wifi. I noticed I have to mount System first in CWM (thought it would do that automatically) before I flash this kernel.

So I tried to mount it in CWM(v 5.0.2.6) but it gives me the following error:

Error mounting /system!

I also can't mount /data. (/cache and /SDCard are working fine)

I can mount /System in ES File Explorer and modify files

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] blacklord9:
You probably have a CWM that does not support RFS. You can get one that does here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1421650
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Surfboomerang:
argh... sometimes things can be so easy :)

BLN is working fine btw
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] TeHashX:
In cwm go advanced and format system & data first
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] MatZ69:
The BLN in me doest work. I use a stock rom and isnt deoxed, should it be?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Download bln control, turn it on and test it
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] UtCollector@gmail.com:
Thx this works on the JonasHendrickx V3.1 rom sow far. I did not deodex yet i think. And i did not use the patch yet. How do i apply the patch? (Sorry low on time to have a great read)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Peteragent5:
How do you apply the BLN Patch? I already Decompiled my services.jar, now what do I do?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] phiexz:
https://github.com/neldar/backlight...atches/i9000-jvh/bln-i9000-jvh-services.patch
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] UtCollector@gmail.com:
I got that part. But do i save the file like bln-i9000-jvh-services.patch.sh file and run on the phone ore something?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] phiexz:
wew

Switching too Samsung galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch.

i enjoyed this thread very much. for those staying for a long time, good luck rom progression.

pce out all!
[EVO Shift 4G General] notsointeresting:
C ya man. Have fun with those samsung bastards lol jk:D
[EVO Shift 4G General] Indirect:
Wanna share your Evo shift with someone less fortunate? :p Good luck with the SGS II
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
Gotta be honest... thinking about the same move myself. Loving my GTab 10.1.
[EVO Shift 4G General] rhodiggah:
I was hoping that the next Nexus phone would be an HTC phone.

Nexus Prime is looking mighty spiffy and maybe the Evo Design?
[EVO Shift 4G General] kyhassen:
The phone it self can sync to your Gtab, flosscarter on youtube showed a video, plus looks like an awesome phone, but the only issue people has is LOS till update around nov - beginning of jan of new year, not to many people had issues, other complaint was the feel of the phone i guess it feels like plastic, which doesnt bother me.

@Indirect I would love to send my evo shift to someone who could use it, but im giving it to my mom :-D since shes letting me use her upgrade.

@notsointeresting I am SOOOO gonna have fun over there. the phones been out for a little over a month and they got a few nice looking roms so far, but not much can be done yet, still early in the game.
[EVO Shift 4G General] supergear:
With everybody leaving the Shift maybe this forum should be moved on xda to Legacy & Low Activity Devices
[EVO Shift 4G General] Indirect:
What are you talking about supergear? I know that alot of people are keeping this phone.

[EVO Shift 4G General] drob311:
With a new 3.0 rom and kernel source just released its hardly dead... there will be ics for the shift too... you sir are talking like a fool and for that, here you go...
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
???????? :confused: ????????

What are you taliking about everybody :confused: ?
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
We still have new roms coming. we have the Kingdom rom and the Bliss rom will be coming soon to and when ICS is released we will get that too. The shift is not close to being low active. I for one will probably keep using my shift for another 6 months to a year depending if a phone i really like comes out
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
I've been due for my upgrade for about three months :p . Not planning to get rid of my Shift for a long time :D . This phone has proven to me time and again it's ability to perform. Soon as someone gets an OC kernel going, it's game on :D . IMO the Shift is very underated.
[EVO Shift 4G General] vampir4997:
Yea im waiting for next year, the shidt is still going strong
[EVO Shift 4G General] vampir4997:
Ummmm yea pretty confused about this one, we just got kernal source released and strapped and mik and everybody else are amazing with this phone
[EVO Shift 4G General] kyhassen:
Wow, just when i thought this forum kinda died off a little, i leave and BOOM less than a week of me leaving this phone to my mom and me getting the E4GT, this forum boosted... Same thing happened with me with the HTC hero, When i left my Evo for the shift, 2.3 came out that exact day i was like are you F'n kidding me, and now this one... maybe i curse HTC lol.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Maybe you could jump ship faster next time so sources get released faster? :P /sarcasm
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
I mean there is always the option of returning your upgrade within 30 days and getting another shift LOL

Sent from My MikSupreme Shift
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Well for all those in the audience saying the. Shift is on the way out. I just came back from the local Sprint store ( know some peeps there ) . We messed around for about an hour comparing phones. Running Quadrent, Antutu, and Speedtest. The Shifty smoked them, only OC'd to 1.4mHz. So I'll be keeping my Shift for quite a while :D .

[EVO Shift 4G General] Connor1:
I use my phone for nothing but making phone calls and text messages, this phone has a nice physical keyboard, so I'm going to be keeping it until it stops working.
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
You sir are a true phone user lol. No bullshitting around with anything but the basic's lol
[EVO Shift 4G General] koolkid09:
I switched over to the Nexus S. I got tired of the keyboard. It added to much bulk.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ludrose:
Also moving to the epic but I wish the forums over there had more going on
[EVO Shift 4G General] NoidFloyd:
Hop back on here and let us know what you think of the Satansung?

I am curious how the current Samsung phones are. I am coming from that POS Moment and told myself I would never buy a Samsung product ever again. I know someone who has an Epic with the same GPS taking forever to lock issues.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChillyChan:
All rite, I'm currently in China and have an HTC S710d which is the China Telecom equivalent of Verizon Incredible 2.

My situation is like this.

With China Telecom Radio, when I flash Sense ROMs, the phone shows "Sprint PCS" as my carrier and I can turn on data fine.

If I use Verizon Radio on Sense ROMs, data doesn't work.

On AOSPs like MIUI, if I use China Telecom Radio, the roaming indicator is flashing and I don't get data even if I've checked "Connect to data when roaming"

If I use Verizon Radio on MIUI or AOSP, my carrier shows as "Verizon Wireless" but I can't turn on data.

So my question is.. is there anything I can do on my end to make MIUI or AOSP ROMs recognize that China is my home country and that I'm not roaming? Is there any files I can edit/change to achieve my goal?

Or how would I go about getting data? Is it simply impossible unless I make my own port?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostilebynature:
hey guys im not new to flashing or anything but im new to the SGS2.

so im in canada. i bought an unbranded unlocked SGS2 off of a dude.

So i went to flash CWM, it did, with success. it rebooted and it just stays at at the boot screen with the yellow sign. wth? i tried loading the ATT one and that gets me a lil further. it gives me the animated samsung logo and then gets stuck there. \

i tried to mount my usb drive via CWM and that failed as well. Then I decided to try and fix things and i downloaded a BELL stick firmware (im in canada) + kernel and it goes straight to the stock recovery with logs in the bottom in yellow telling me all sorts of failed things.

what the hell guys? did i miss something critically important? i never had this much trouble with my captivate or with my desire.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
The yellow sign just means you're not on a stock kernel; it doesn't mean anything's wrong with the phone. You can buy a USB jig for a few bucks off Amazon to get rid of it or just put a stock kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostilebynature:
yes i realize that brother, but it doesnt go anywhere. it doesnt do anything. and i did flash stock firmware and kernel and nothing happens. it just stays there. and i cant even mount my usb storage via cwm.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandoHD:
Lack of proper research would lead to these types of things

1.Did you make note of exactly what model of SGS2 you have?

2.Do you know what ROM the phone was running before you decided to flash?

Give us information about the device before you flashed, right now the only option I see for you is to go to Intratech's official firmware thread Here, download a firmware and flash through Odin and hopefully it should boot if it's the international version, IF it isn't then it's a guessing game
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostilebynature:
hey, yeah you're right man, i got too excited to get things running.

i believe it was running just stock firmware but im unaware of what version.

the box says

samsung galaxy II GTI9100M

GTI9100HSB *BKNRB
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostilebynature:
and ive already went to that thread and downloaded the bell stock firmware and the kernel and it still didnt go. i flashed the firmware, rebooted, then the kernel, rebooted. nothing
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightnz:
You always need to flash CM7 twice. The CWM/CM7 install process is broken and the first attempt doesn't actually do anything other than stuff things up.

Boot into CWM again, do a full wipe, flash CM7 twice and you should be ok.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostilebynature:
hey, yeah i just tried doing that, it did nothing. i also have a hard time getting into recovery for some reason. is there something special i sohuld be doing? i turn the phone off and press power+ home+ vol up and most of the time it doesntgo into it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightnz:
That's normal. It's picky about timing.

It might pay to try flashing a complete firmware via Odin, either stock or custom, probably doesn't matter. Litening is a good starting point assuming it's compatible with your particular phone.

FWIW - Your phone looks like it's definately a Bell Canada model, you could also try to flash an original firmware back from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Then investigate from there and see if you need to do anything else to get it to behave.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostilebynature:
man, im really sorry to ask you to spoon feed me here, but i have no idea which firmware to choose from that list, can you help me out?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostilebynature:
i also just tried flashing the lightning rom thur odin and it still gets stuck in what i guess is called the bootloop. just a black screen saying samsung galaxy s2 gt-i9100.

edit: one more thing, i originally flashed cwm without being rooted, is that something to think about?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostilebynature:
ok, so i seem to have it working now?

i flashed the ATT clockwork mod...my home button doesnt work, but i still somehow managed to clear the cache, and delete user data after. the phone booted up and is running lightning rom.

i get into the rom and none of my bottom buttons work. (menu, home, back)

so i flashed the regular CWM and it doesnt boot up again. any ideas?

when i finally get into cwm 4, when it loads up it tells me right away at the bottom

cant mount /cache/recovery/command

cant mount /cache/recover/log

cant open /cach/recovery/log

cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log

cant open /cache/recovery/last_log

if i try and wipe cash i get

Formatting /cache

E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmclbk0p7

Cache wipe complete

in fact if i try and do anything i get that same error .

whats the deal guys?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
You can probably get yourself back to a normal state by flashing the stock firmware/modem/CSC/kernel from SGS2 Bell/Virgin Canadian Thread Q&A (Root/Unlock/Firmware) Modems KG6/KH3/KI1/3/4, if that is indeed your model.

Also from that thread (I presume he means lose):
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostilebynature:
i tried that. i loaded the firmware, then it rebooted and it went right into recovery and gave me a bunch of errors. mostly unable to mount this and that.\

i then went and downloaded the matching kernel and flashed that and that made no diference.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostilebynature:
Guys honestly ill paypal $20 to whoever can help me get this sorted out. Im in a tougg situation here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightnz:
Just grab the Bell one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostilebynature:
i did, and the matching kernel. it didnt work. it fixed the bootloop but it goes right into recovery and shows a bunch of mount errors
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
You said you tried going into the bootloader (not recovery) and flashing the stock Bell ROM via ODIN?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostilebynature:
yeah i flashed the stock bell firmware and kernel via odin and it still didnt work, it just went right into the stock recovery followed by a lot of mounting issues. it's weird. i definately dont have a 4 button att galaxy s2. i have the one big middle button and 2 soft keys. the phone will ONLY boot if i flash att cwm. but the buttons arent the same.

all of this started when i flashed CWM 4.

edit: no, i didnt flash anything to the bootloader via odin. all the things i flashed i checked off as .pda in odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostilebynature:
everything else i tried to flash it just gives me mount errors.

example; i flashed lightning rom (while having cwm flashed) and it just stayed in bootloop. then i flashed the ATT cwm and it booted no problem. it let me go into recovery and clear the cache and delete user data. only problem is all the buttons are messed up. as soon as i flash back to cwm, it blootloops again and it wont mount anything. i cant clear cache, cant delete user data and cant load usb storage.

im so very confused.

edit: also, while im in cwm 4 and i try and mount stuff, it just says error, example

Error mounting /cache!

Error mounting /data!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
I may or may not be right, but it sounds like one or more of your internal storage partitions are corrupted. This can be fixed by finding the right .pit file. I'm going to assume your phone is pretty much the international version, right? They're all GT-i9100 (even my Sprint CDMA version), but yours has the square button instead of the 4 touch buttons, right?

Download this pack: http://www.multiupload.com/2EMBQMYF4V

Extract "u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit". This file basically tells ODIN how to partition the phone's memory and can usually fix these kinds of problems. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK. This is for the international version, but since yours seems to be a Bell-branded international version (same hardware, just branded), it should be the same.

Flash that along with the stock ROM/kernel (put it in the PIT box) and make sure you check "Re-Partition".
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostilebynature:
ok im download the file as we speak.

will i have to flash this .pit file everytime i want to flash a new rom?

like right now im going to flash the bell firmware + this .pit file at the same time. then after i reboot im going to flash cf-root. will i have to flash this .pit file while im flashing cf-root or is this a one time thing? (assuming it fixes the issue)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
No. Just once. It re-partitions the internal storage. Again, this is assuming the Bell version is the same as the international version. So after you choose the tar file (PDA), click "PIT" and choose the .pit file. Then make sure "Re-Partition" is checked and hit flash. Good luck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostilebynature:
welp, i flashed the bell firmware and the .pit file and i got the same thing. it reboots then it goes right into recovery with a bunch of red text shoewing me mounting errors.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandoHD:
What color is the recovery and what options can you select in this recovery?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostilebynature:
its the Android recovery (3e)

reboot now

apply update from sdcard

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandoHD:
Grab a firmware from what I quoted below and you just need the firmware only, forget about kernels for now, you just have to get the device to boot all the way into android.

Once you download the firmware and you double click the exe to extract it, just boot into download mode on your device, start Odin and place the tarball in PDA, connect the phone, wait for the bar to turn yellow, then click start, be sure that you use the default options in Odin, also, be sure you are using the Samsung USB cable that you got with the device.

If the above fails, try using a different USB port, if that fails install drivers on a different computer and try the entire procedure again. Report back when you have tried all of the above..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostilebynature:
well i did all of that and same result. before i wasnt using the stock cable. that time i did but no difference.

what do we try now?

Man, I remember the days before the unlocked bootloader, when one of the best MIUI ROMs was Trip's. Poor dude got banned and all. Anyways, so now, there are like ten different MIUI ROMs on XDA. My question is, which is the best one? I'm talking in terms of stability. I don't play games, I just want a ROM where every default app works. A stable, fast ROM that isn't meant for gaming, but for things like video viewing, messaging and MSN and Skype.

My bootloader is unlocked, so I'm taking suggestions on MIUI ROMs that require an unlocked bootloader (even though most of them do anyway).

Thanks.

I feel all the MIUI roms are similar with the same bugs still there. so, you can try anyone of them which is available on XDA. I am using TripnRaver Beta and it is available in modaco forums. Almost everything is working fine including screen on and off animation! So give atry!
