[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I take this to mean you DO have an /efs/imei/keystr file that contains "ON"?

If so, check to make sure that the file has at least read permissions for all groups. Ideally, it should be 644, or rw-r--r--.

If it does NOT have read for one or more of the groups, that could be your problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3dawg:
It does have the file and it is set to ON and the permissions are all correct.

I even tried restoring my stock ics rom and copying the necessary files then pasting them into the imei folder on cm9. It did not work :(

I have the power menu but the lockscreen and home button dont work. I seem to be alone with this problem because everyone else reports that all 3 are missing. I've tried all of the keystr fixes uses root explorer or terminal emu and nothing has worked :/ I'm on CM9 if that makes a difference.

If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.

[Fascinate General] adoboyo:
I'm wondering because I just rooted and flashed SuperClean3 w/ KGB mod. When I first opened up Odin, I actually used the blue CwM. It booted right up so I thought everything was fine. I booted into stock, tried to go back into recovery to flash SuperClean3 but the recovery never showed up again. It just went to stock recovery without a update.zip option. So I opened Odin up again and used red, but this time flashed SuperClean3 and KGB right from the start. I'm still wondering though, what exactly happens when CwM doesn't stick? Does the kernel kick it off, uninstalls it, or what? Is the blue CwM I used first still on my phone somehow?
[Fascinate General] mkuehl06:
The blue recovery is mainly for mtd roms. You need to longpress the power Key and boot into recovery that way or it will always revert to stock recovery iirc.
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
Anytime you odin cwm recovery over a stock rom/kernel you have to three finger into recovery right away. If you let the phone boot once the stock kernel will not let cwm stick. So then you have to odin cwm all over again. Use red recovery for anything touch wiz btw.

---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------

Thats incorrect...
[Fascinate General] j2cool2012:
Stock ROMs have a script called install-recovery.sh. If it boots, custom recoveries are overwritten. Thats why you have to flash a custom ROM right away, or remove that script.

For custom kernels you need an unlocked bootloader

Im not trying to put custom kernel,im trying to put .283 kernel,i read that it will reduce bterry drain.

However,my bttery drain still the same. The battery can only last 7hours something the longest. I even flash the 36 and 64 baseband and their libs but still dont change. I saw some people battery last for a day,i dont know why my battery still dont last

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PunchTheLion:
Hi there,

So for the first time I've dropped my phone and something has actually gone wrong.

The battery fell out this time. Now when I boot up the bootscreen turns up as does the Cynogen screen next (I have been running 4.0.3 for over a week now without a hitch), then after that nothing...the screen goes black.

The weird thing is though, all the buttons work, the screen obviously works perfectly and it even mounts and Windows can see it, it just becomes a black screen and the front screen buttons light up when I try and turn the screen on.

Even wierder....I did a factory reset, wipe data cache and a dalvik cache wipe, reintalled and the problem still persists.

Edit: Tried Odin and got this, what now? :(((

dbdata.rfs fails.

What is the best way to proceed?

Hello there

I dont know if this bug is because of my custom rom (Android revolution hd) or its an ics bug but anyway

If u go to the app list menu and go to the last page make sure ur last page is not full (mine has 2 lines of apps only ) and go to an empty place under the apps and click and hold

It will select a widget. Pretty weird right?

It will select the widget from the next page even tho u r not on the widget page.

Has this been addressed before? Sorry if its a repost

[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
Note: This works for some people, but I suggest you don't update, because majority of the people are having problems.

theq86 has reported his phone bricked.

Conclusions:

1- S-ON & Bootloader Locked

Your HBOOT will stay to the version 1.08.0000.

You will not be able to unlock the bootloader until HTCDev updates its RUU.

2- S-ON & Bootloader Unlocked (HBOOT 1.08.0009)

Your HBOOT will be downgraded to 1.08.0000 and your bootloader will be locked again. You will lose root and CWM.

You will not be able to unlock the bootloader until HTCDev updates its RUU.

3- S-OFF

Your HBOOT will stay (or be updated/downgraded) to 1.08.0000.

You don't have to worry about the bootloader cause it is unlocked forever.

For those who performed the update and are S-ON and want to unlock their bootloader, three solutions :

1- S-OFF your phone with an XTC-Clip

2- Wait for a software S-OFF (they are getting closer and closer)

3- Wait that HTCDev updates its RUU. We should write to them to be sure they are aware of this problem.

Want to get rid of the notifications telling you to update?

1. Download update (to the phone).

2. When the phone asks to install update, plug your phone to the computer in Disk Drive mode.

3. Run Winrar and browse to sdcard/download and enter OTA_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3-2.13.401.2_release_237041qqcw21hxt5vkhdz6.zip.

4. Inside you will find file firmware.zip. Unpack it anywhere.

5. Run Winrar and enter unpacked firmware.zip.

6. Click INFO button and go to SFX label.

7. Click "Remove the already existing module from the archive" and OK.

8. Delete all files except "android-info.txt". Save file (firmware.zip).

9. Replace firmware.zip in original OTA update.

10. Run update in your phone.

11. You will see yellow exclamation mark in triangle which means failure.

12. Remove the baterry for one second.

13. Turn on. Phone will show smtng like "update file is corrupt. download again?" - click NO. Turn off automatic check for updates in settings.

[HTC Wildfire S] theq86:
Why is this update bad?

Why is this update bad? (background info)

HTC included it's newest radio and hboot with the update. Actually nothing to worry about, but there's a problem regarding software version numbers.

For example (HTC EU example):

My WFS shipped EU 2.3.3 (sw no. 1.33.401.2)

Then came the FOTA to EU 2.3.5 (sw no. 2.13.401.2)

And some days past a new FOTA (sw no. 2.13.401.3)

the software numbers are the problem here. HTCDEV provides the RUU updater for unlockable hboot only for 2.13.401.2.

As we know, HTC will not allow us to downgrade even a signed ruu. Thus, we will get a main version is older error.

This leads to the conclusions above.

------------------------------------

Will there be a way to re-unlock the phone?

Hi there!

I need a little help.. My problem is that I can't remove CWM 5.0.2.8 from my Marvel.

It is S-OFF with XTC Clip.

USB Debugging is ON.

Fast Boot is ON.

I have stock ROM 2.3.5

I chose Charge Only.

I use Marvel Auto-Installers. It detect my Marvel.. I press uninstall recovery (HTC original). Then my phone restarts. After booting I shut down and restart with vlume down pressed to check what recovery I have and... surprise: still CWM 5.0.2.8!

Any little help will be appreciated.
[HTC Wildfire S] ONeill123:
Then please download the auto-installers new.

Go to the folder installed the auto-installers and you will find a orig.img and a fastboot.exe

Restart your phone into the fastboot mode and open terminal. Navigate to the fastboot.exe and execute this command:

fastboot flash recovery orig.img

7. Find Download manager

8. Clear cache

You guys having this problem might try following this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1301388

so that you downgrade your hboots and then try following the htcdev tutorial so that you update your hboots again unlock your phones.

It's only logic that this should work.
