Recovery mode should be in there.. Sometimes i have to try a few times to get it right, if you can get into the dialer, then enter the code *2767*3855# as quoted by me earlier and the other user before

See how you go :)

Oh okay haha, you fooled me

I had the same issue with flashing 2.3.6 to my phone, i just deleted odin and re extracted the firmware, redownloaded odin 1.85, restarted my computer with my phone plugged in, it installed some extra drivers and then it all worked..
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
What version of Google Earth are you saying doesn't work? I have just installed it directly off the market to confirm what you said and it worked fine. I would have thought that would be the latest version.

Mine says it's 6.2 (6.2.1.6363).
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
No worries buddy :)

The SD Card problem is from people getting root access i think, which isnt me so doesn't effect me

Force 2D Acceleration does cause that wallpaper crash issue when its on, but seriously, how often do you change a wallpaper? ;)

haha

other than that wallpaper bug, it's been working flawlessly under heavy use for me for the past 5 hours + :)
[Galaxy S II General] remmington:
Well, anyway thanks for the advices, i'll try it later, now i'll wait until friday, cause MIUIv4 (probably) will be released by MIUIAndroid for a kind of public beta testing, i'm really interested in it (Sorry for the OFF)

[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
On a side note I don't understand the screen response claims. Seems absolutely no different to me.

I hope MIUI satisfys your needs!

I'm glad you just appreciated the help :)

MHL

Hi

I tried MHL and not working?
[Galaxy S II General] jaidev.s:
this is how i Flashed XXPLQ and Rooted it with out any issues

i did not face any pblm with flashing or rooting XXLPQ. this is what i did.

U need to make a full back up before starting this(I used Titanium Back-up)

U need to Mobile Odin

If u are in Ginger-Bread, i think u can skip Step 1

This is the procedure i followed

1)flashed STOCK XXLPQ using PC_ ODIN

2)Installed mobile ODIN(NO ROOT NEEDED)

3)copied I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5 to my INTERNEL SD CARD

4)run mobile odin, there select Open file and choose Internel Sd card and select I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5

5)i did chose not to use EVER ROOT option

6)selected Wipe data and cache

7)flash firm-ware

now the phone will get fully wiped and XXLPQ will be reinstalled without root

8)Once the phone reboots into ICS, switch-off the phone and use PC_ ODIN to flash Up-dated CF-Root

9) now the phone is rooted and i do not have any issue with installing any apps from Play store. I checked by installing LINE RUNNER

[Galaxy S II General] amnya:
I agree, for me i do not change the wallpaper at all, i only put my favorite babe wallpaper once and that's it :D Not sure what else could be broken though, reported it here for other to know :)

For me, the biggest pain is the screen response, you cannot feel it on the OS itself, but if you give a game like "Draw Something" a go, you will know what i mean. Next on the list of worries would be why Google earth did not update, am just afraid more and more market update for apps will report the same problem.

BTW, should "force 2d gpu acceleration" be kept on or off?
[Galaxy S II General] mr sharpey:
That IS download mode, just connect the phone and follow the guide on Page 1

How should I flash ICS?

I'm rooted and I'm on CF-root 4.1, running GB2.3.4 (kernel version: I9100 XWKI4).

Which of these files should I download and how should I flash it? (CWM? or ODIN?)

Any other opinions/comments?
[Galaxy S II General] Remeniz:
Ok...

Since my previous post I have been conversing with a dev' about issues with an application. And I also got a mail back from another which fixed app' issues including games not starting and a picture gallery application not displaying pictiures properly.

Turns out I checked the 'Don't keep activities' in the 'Developer options' menu and this was causing the problems.

So, to be honest, leave the Developer options alone.

All the app's that were causing issues are playing by the rules now.

:D
[Galaxy S II General] amnya:
Hi mate, just follow the instructions on the main page. In brief, do a nand backup, and take ur files outside your device "Just in case"

1. Run the code to fully wipe your phone to stock firmware.

2. Flash using Odin the new firmware

3. Working phone, doesn't harm here to run the factory wipe once more now.

4. restore your stuff like programs and all, and enjoy the ROM.

If you need to root it, then you will need to flash CF-Root. That is pretty basically it. But do follow the instructions on the 1st post to the letter, if you do not, you might face some problems.

Anyone???

I feel so ripped off by Samsung... :(
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
ok, so details

i got my SGS2 about 1 week ago.

i flash this current firmware and i hav no problems....yes i DID have the touch screen issues...but after a few restarts i now dont.

i have flashed the latest kernal from chainfire which fixes SD card problems.

the only issue i have is that i cannot currenly install apk's that arent from the market. i will probably reflash once the uk firmware is released.

but still...TW is annoying, but get apex or nova, and its bearable. no signal problems...im willing to help where i can...just to let you know what i did etc

about Social Hub on ICS

Why is it that since the updates to ICS Social Hub does not sync Facebook and Twitter contacts?

Why is samsung dropping integration from the OS when all other manufacturers go the other way??
[Galaxy S II General] ApriliaM3:
Try FoxHound...
[Galaxy S II General] Xeodus:
Yup I'm also getting this problem - seems the official Facebook app can sync contacts, but refuses to sync their profile pictures so it is essentially useless :( Not found a fix for this yet - anyone?
[Galaxy S II General] JacquesR:
Try loading your contacts list in the Facebook app itself. I saw mention in another thread that this caches the profile pics, and results in them showing up in contacts.
[Galaxy S II General] danmullen:
I never had this problem - I just installed the FB app and chose to sync all contacts. When I went into my contacts list, they were all there minus the profile pics. However, I noticed one or two were being displayed. I assumed it was taking time to download all the pics, so I left it for an hour and had another look - all the pics were there.
[Galaxy S II General] Xeodus:
What do you mean?

I tried opening my friends list in the app and scrolling up and down - all the pictures show up there fine. When I look back at my phone contacts, the pictures don't appear still. I also tried opening the profile of a couple of my friends but this didn't help.
[Galaxy S II General] JacquesR:
I meant exactly what you tried ;) . I never said it would work - just that I'd seen it mentioned, and suggested it might be worth trying.

FWIW, I also had that problem on LPQ, and couldn't resolve it - just one of the reasons I'm back on CM9 now.
[Galaxy S II General] vaya_putada:
Hi people,

I upgraded yesterday my Galaxy S2 to this version.

I noticed too high temperatures after the upgrade, my phone reaches too high temperatures only in desktop screen without any big application running.

Did you see something similar? Is a general problem for this phone?

And other question, is there any procedure for the "downgrade" again to GB?

Thanks!

I need your help

Hi Guys

I need your help i have flashed my SGS2 right now with Odin and the steps explained but it seems the phone hangs now. What i have done.

1. i installed KIES so that all drivers are on my notebook

2. I start odin and load the file in pda section

3. I boot up my Samsung in Odin Mode and connect it with USB

Everything went fine the download complete. Afterwards the phone boot up i see the Galaxs S logo flashing but thats all the phone hangs.

any Idea to fix that ?

Thank you much for your help and tipps

[Galaxy S II General] gaz617:
I've had a G1 since launch which I kept up to date right up to gingerbread (despite official updates only being offered to 1.6) thanks to those at xda. Got an SG2 yesterday and first thing I did was to flash this firmware, i'm just going to say, despite it not being ready for prime time just yet, CM9 gives a much better ics experience than this. I want my new phone to feel markedly different from my 4 year old G1! I advise those who are a bit more familiar with flashing and troubleshooting to give the nightlies a whirl http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1419102. Just search that thread before you ask for help or point out a flaw.
[Galaxy S II General] Zod5000:
I kept getting that with Odin. After reading some other thread comments, it turned out I had to be really quick.

boot my phone in download mode

turn on odin

select firmware as pda for odin

plug in cord to phone

press start as quick as humanly possible (that was the key step. If i took my time to start the flash it wouldn't work.).
[Galaxy S II General] gaz617:
First thing to do is to kill kies processes, make sure thats not running then try again by rebooting into recovery

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 PM ----------

[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
Im just throwing something out there...

why oh why do i need to have touch wiz... i have already after all bought the phone (via contract or outright)

the bootloader is unlocked and custom roms are easily flashable, so why do Samsung/insert other manufacturers here, make it difficult for other roms to be fully functional.

CM9 would be perfect if they had all the drivers, and software etc, what harm would it honestly do samsung to provide these? ok so they want to keep their touchwiz..which is fine, the users that want it, wouldnt DREAM of flashing a new rom, so not costing samsung nothing there.

i cant see how they find this beneficial to them, i never use there apps, or even try them.

surely a bigger benefit would be for us users that actively WANT to flash another rom, to let us...they would be classed as a great company because of it...and the ones that dont want to flash, wouldnt even give a feck..

just my 2 cents
[Galaxy S II General] Barely Running:
I flashed over a stock 2.3.5 with the stock ICS 4.0.3 and was able to download and install the latest Google Earth update. I suspect that some of the problems that people are experiencing are not a fault of the stock ROM but some remnants of previous installations.

The only issue that I have encountered so far is that occasionally the WiFi does not start from the power management widget. I've had to restart the phone twice in the past 48 hours to get the WiFi to start after having turned it off from the Widget.
[Galaxy S II General] mr sharpey:
Please, help yourselves
[Galaxy S II General] gaz617:
I promise i'm not having a go at you, i totally agree that they should release the drivers and kerns to the CM team if only to solve that annoying banding!, but if you or anyone else wants a pure google experience buy a nexus phone, that's their USP

Hi

I have tried right now with all services killed, everything is killed related to samsung and kies and again the flash through Odin works, fine, pass and the phone reboot, a little animated green android show up the, some loading, phone reboot again, afterwards hang in Samung Logo (BIG S) but not boot up.

This Options are flagged through i flash in Odin i don't change anyhting: Auto Reboot and F. Reset-Timer

any other suggestions ? Should i try with option Re-Partion enabled through flashing with Odin?

Thank you for your help
[Galaxy S II General] Dimer81:
Have u ticked the allow installation from unknown sources in security menu?

Don't sync? There is no option for syncing contacts in social hub after u add ur facebook account there? What about messages and calendar?

What ROM did u have before? was it rooted?

Did u do factory reset before flashing the rom?
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
i can see that, and i nearly got the nexus, but the specs on the S2 are better..hardware wise..

i just feel that...if im not going to flash a custom rom, then samsung is fine and happy...and yet if I AM...i WILL no matter how difficult they make it...so they wouldnt lose anything...as it will be done anyway.

(this is also applicable to HTC etc.)

[Galaxy S II General] Deejaykeen:
There are plenty of differences, as for the feel if you are using touch wiz you probably won't seem different. The copy/paste and clipboard functions are great. The task manager (hold home key) if very good and also the ability to chose which notifications to leave as reminders and which to get rid of is a nice touch.

VPN now saves the details including password so connecting to that is a touch of a button.

Try installing GO or NOVA or APEX launcher to get a different feel and more prctical use along side Wave launcher, you may find that speeds up general functionality. :)
