Have your tried restarting your machine, and making sure your drivers are all properly installed for your SGS2?

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

Would you like problems with your phone?

Would you like to minimise any problems you could possibly encounter by not wiping like the other users here?

If you chose the second answer, then you should wipe and flash over, you need to use the CF-ROOT that is provided in the OP :)

---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

if you are flashing ics firmwares, you should wipe! If you don't then expect problems, if you get problems after wiping, after your phone is loaded with ics, do a factory wipe through the dialer, still no fix? Wipe phone again and do the same, still no fix? Well these firmwares aren't playing nice with everyones phone

no data problem? You need to add your apn to the android settings

Hold Vol Down, Power and Home for 1 second

That's how I do mine :)

---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

LP7 has better responsiveness than LPQ so far so good.
[Galaxy S II General] amnya:
No it works both ways, liked before power and home, or volume down and hinge, but I should hold a big longer, that's it :) only problem with low is touch response. Everything else is good. Battery stood 12 hours today with extensive usage.
[Galaxy S II General] Erlanderterv:
You keeptelling people they should wipe. Yet if you read other peoples posts you would see that many of us have not and are not experiencing any problems.

Yes those coming from custom roms may need to but most other people do not need to wipe.

Please give correct advice if you are going to.
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
Oh okay :)

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
He is giving correct advice :confused:

Most problems so far are people who didn't wipe after installing the firmware and people who restored old backups.

I did not say everyone, but most

EDIT: Since no one likes to read previous posts, I installed this with a full clear/wipe and cache wipe*

- More fluid and responsive screen

- Swype Keypad looks like it has a new theme

- Samsung Animated Logo when rebooting or turning off phone!

- Wallpaper set crash still with GPU Rendering enabled!

- No English - Australia Language :(

[Galaxy S II General] Barely Running:
Perhaps I was just lucky but after 2.5 days of using the Polish ICS firmware I've had very few problems. Before flashing the Polish version of ICS I was running an unrooted Polish GB 2.3.5. I flashed without wiping.

At first I was concerned because the battery made the phone quite hot on the first day and it expired in about 6 hours of mostly continuous use... just playing around and becoming acquainted with the the new OS.

After a couple of recharges the battery is lasting much longer and I am back almost to where I was (battery performance wise) with GB 2.3.5 (also the Polish version). I really like the taskbar, the way that Chrome Beta syncs with my desktop browser's tabs and I'm pretty impressed with ICS.

I've never minded Samsung's TouchWiz and I don't plan on installing a different launcher. This has been quite a good upgrade overall!
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
I am very glad to hear your enjoying and having good success with this ROM :)

If you have any issues down the track try LP7 it's solved a few issues and added a few goodies compared to LPQ! :)

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

This is correct, I'm recommending for people to wipe, if you can be stuffed to Flash a ROM you should be stuffed to do it properly, not wiping, is like using the "Upgrade" Method from Windows Vista to Windows 7

Very ugly, and usually leads to problems down the track.
[Galaxy S II General] radiobicho:
Hi, all. I need a help: if i want to flash only CSC....tar.md5

[Galaxy S II General] froggydoddy:
I just flashed to the stock I9100DXLP7 and also used the rooted kernel.

After doing so, it's the first time that I haven't been able to reset the custom binary counter and get rid of the yellow triangle using my USB jig. The jig gets the phone into download mode, but that's it. Won't reset the counter.

Has anyone else lost the ability to reset the counter and get rid of the yellow triangle after flashing I9100DXLP7?

Any tricks?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You need the old bootloader for it to work. Check the firmware thread in the dev forum to download the bootloader package.
[Galaxy S II General] mathsmart:
you have to flash the old boot loader and use your jig than ref lash back new boot loader or use triangle away its been discus a lot
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
This is why we say read before just asking, it has been said multiple times in this thread that the Bootloader of Samsungs ICS Firmware removes the ability to use the jig, you need to flash an old bootloader over to use the jig again
[Galaxy S II General] Chizomaru:
Do a clean wipe after you've installed ICS that should solve all Gallery issues.

I had the same problem as well, only app I can't seem to get to work is GoWeather.

Everything else works like a charm, can't say I've noticed any speed boost though compared to Gingerbread.
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
I did do a clean wipe, i'm the one recommending everyone to do this, since about 30-40 pages back, does nobody read.. D:

I'm also not having issues with the GALLERY, just with setting wallpapers, but it's only an issue when I have GPU rendering enabled, after it's disabled and i set a wallpaper, i just renable it and it's all works well

I've noticed a speed boost with certain things such as using the browser and certain apps
[Galaxy S II General] Galaxy s2:

[Galaxy S II General] froggydoddy:
Thanks guys!!! I tried to read up but there is SO MUCH INFORMATION. It's hard to read everything and make sure everything's covered.
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
Flashing these Official Firmwares dont effect the counter, only Custom ROMS and Kernels, so if you root this official ICS then it will go up on the counter, and putting the old bootloader with the new ICS won't work i don't think, I think you need to reset and then flash/use cm-root if you plan to so your counter is at 1

I think..
[Galaxy S II General] mathsmart:
just flashed the last wan am deodexed stock LP7

its true LP7 is really more responsive and no lag its became close to GB 2.3.6 now !
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
Yep! :p

Samsung has said they are not happy with the bugs in the Official ICS release, so they're working on better releases :) Obviously already just based on different regions

Hopefully Australian one gets released soon

[Galaxy S II General] Kronkels:
sorry for beeing a bit of a noob....

I think before flashing this Kernel(its nothing more than that) I have to flash the original XXLPH firmware and after that flash XXLPQ kernel?

[Galaxy S II General] MrEs:
Three quick questions as i only got my S2 on Friday !

I am with Vodafone Australia, is this ROM valid for me?

Do i need to do anything prior to flashing this? Root? etc?

I want to do a full reset before i flash, how do i do that?
[Galaxy S II General] PurpleMadness:
I think you can just install other launchers and leave TW as it is. No need to delete it
[Galaxy S II General] Sesifredo:
for me restarted after 20 min .... nothing
[Galaxy S II General] GusseG:
It has alle the languages...

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

Yes, you can completely remove TW with Titanium Backup and then just install the ICS launcher of your choice

CSC question

Hey guys, quick question.

I'm on XEU CSC at the minute. What effect will flashing this firmware have on that? Not that I care too much, but will Kies get all scrambled on what my firmware is?

If my CSC will change, given what things like this thread: http://samsunggalaxysforums.com/archive/index.php/t-3756.html say, should I have any worries about regional stuff as a result?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] jpbl1976:
I had Resurrection on my device when I woke up this morning to these ROM updates but I didn't want to chance anything going wrong so I flashed back to the custom TW4 ROM I had in reserve and flashed via Mobile Odin from there.

After the initial boot cycle, the update has this bit at the beginning where it says it's "upgrading" your device (e.g. updating 1 of 130 and so on..) so it may actually need you to have a TW-based ROM for it to work properly.

On that tangent, I recall reading on another thread that Samsung are discouraging people from updating to ICS over custom ROMs (although, as I said, my own update didn't have issues). Logically, that might mean it'll be looking for some specific components to update.

Anyway, I find the update alright; I think the visual changes to TW are an improvement (though Vanilla ICS is still better, in my opinion -- except for the Messaging App).

The ROM runs smoothly enough once you've given it time to settle down after a reboot. Overall, I'm pleased with it, although I would've preferred it if Sammy had given the TW4 App Drawer an overhaul.

One area where the official ROM is superior to Westcrip's is the typeface; for whatever reason, Resurrection ICS has very jagged-looking type. The small type on the official SGSII ROM looks very good; one can just imagine how lovely it'll look on the forthcoming SGSIII.
[Galaxy S II General] Hamsteren:
Cant move apps to sd with CF-Root, tried fixing permissions and update was a full wipe. So it looks like the bug is still there.
[Galaxy S II General] Davith:
It probably won't have any effect. XEO has the XEU CSC included in it so it will keep it by default. Therefore nothing will change.

But yeah, Kies will probably not offer you any firmware anymore. To be honest I don't see why people choose Kies over Odin. Old debate I know but Odin is so much safer.
[Galaxy S II General] flunkyou2:
I have flash mine but it seems like its stuck in a boot loop :(

Just keeps flashing up the boot logo every 5 seconds :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] DesirableDesire:
Did you do data/factory reset/cache/dalvik cache wipe if coming from a custom rom? This is what I had to do, otherwise I was stuck on boot animation. Worked straight after I did wipes.

[Galaxy S II General] froggydoddy:
Sorry for being a noob guys. I'm looking everywhere and not finding the answer. I now have the old bootloader file (Still have to figure out how to install it)

BUT once I install the old bootloader, use my jig to reset the counter, do I have to re-install the new bootloader? If so, where to get that from?

Sorry, I'm sure this was covered, but I can't find it.
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
Language wise, I think position ment of letters on the skype keyboard is different, american versions of words such as color instead of Aussie Colour and mom instead of Aussie Mum are detected, and yeah, use to AUS - English haha

As for AUS ROM and UK ROM and US ROM, as we can see there are improvements in the LP7 ROM released for Indonesia, since LPQ, so by the time AUSTRALIA, THE UK OR US get there Firmwares/ROMS there should be even more significant changes and probably much closer to "Polished" :3

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------

So, put the old bootloader into the Bootloader section of Odin and flash your phone

Then use the jig and reset the binary counter

Then put in the LP7 or LPQ firmware into Odin, wipe / clear the phone in Recovery and then reflash it to the phone for optimal results :)
[Galaxy S II General] mathsmart:
anyone got trouble with 3D WEATHER widget with LP7 ? I cannot setup my location anymore and never got trouble with this widget before ! its say location NULL=NULL I tried to delete cache of this app but no success

except that everything is very fast a lot more than LPQ
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
I haven't used that App, and I don't fancy installing apps I don't use

So I'll ask this, do you have Data reception? :)

If you do, i'd say it's probably an incompatibility

As a second trick, you could try uninstall and reinstall? :)
[Galaxy S II General] mathsmart:
Yea nothing work probably need new update

There are no shortcuts or free lunches

In the last 100 or so posts there were several comments about wiping. The best metaphors I can come up with is...do you change your oil in your car, or do you just top it up with new oil when the sump gets low? ...or... when you repaint a car do you paint over top of your old loose and faded paint with only a light sanding to etch the surface, or do you strip back to bare metal, fill, prime, and paint it? ...or... do you reuse a condom?

Just thought I'd add my NT$0.6.

Android 4.0.3 Indonesia usb mouse/keyboard issue

Hello everybody, yesterday i flashed the I9100DXLP7 with odin and as expected everything went perfectly.Today i decided to test if the usb stick and mouse still work....the usb stick works perfectly but the usb mouse is not recognised at all.

I have tried it with a wireless mouse and a wired mouse.Both are not recognised by the phone at all.

Can somebody help me? Could the issue be from the ROM? Should i flash another ROM?(Poland maybe?)

I'm onto my third full charge cycle and after disconnecting the charger I was down to 67% after just under three hours - that was with no use apart from the normal background processes. My phone "awake" time is almost equal to my entire phone uptime :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
Both nights I went to sleep with 100% and awoke 8hrs later with 99% with only a 2G radio running. So when the phone is just sitting it is comparable to GB. But on GB I was able to tether for 2 hours and I would lose around 30% while also using the screen for a stopwatch for 50 mins during that time. Tonight, with the same regimen, my session ended with 48% battery remaining, but last night with that same regimen it finished in the middle 30% range. I agree this is not acceptable, and I don't know if I am going to wait much longer to see improvement before going back to a good GB ROM, but I have clearly seen a significant improvement in a relatively short time span.
