Problems moving apps to the SD card

I've flashed the XEO ROM from the OP, and then the CF-Root kernal, and all seemed to be working well (including the root) until I tried to move some apps to the SD card. It jut refuses to move any app with a 'Couldn't move app' error :(

For clarity, this is what I did in full:

1. From stock GB - wiped USB storage

2. Factory reset

3. Flashed ICS XEO rom using ODIN

4. Flashed CF-Root

5. Installed apps

6. Tried to move to SD card

7. Cried

I have also noticed some apps fail to install with a similar error about how they cannot copy files to the sdcard.

I thought this might be a permissions issue but I just read somewhere that this might be kernal related so here is some extra info

Baseband version: I9100XXLPQ

Kernal: 3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505

se.infra@SEP-94 #3

Build number: IML74K.XXLPQ

Do I need to flash the stock kernal back on now or something?

Thanks! :)

Fixed after Hard reset + Stock kernel. Also us Espana.

have a nice day!
[Galaxy S II General] andreasS2:
Rooting is automatically being done at the time of the rom installation by Mobile Odin. If Busybox is not automatically installed (I'm not sure if it was supposed to be installed) then download that app from the market and install it. Good luck :)

Edit: There a nice guide in the middle of page 19 on how to install this with Mobile Odin.
[Galaxy S II General] jpbl1976:
Yes. You need to flash the stock kernel back. The move to SD function won't work otherwise.
[Galaxy S II General] Xeodus:
Will I keep the root?

I've been trying to download the stock kernel from the link in the OP but can't get a slot on the download server :(

Also, do I need the stock modem too?

EDIT: can confirm this worked, thanks a lot :) not checked root is still working yet though..
[Galaxy S II General] darioaquino:
once you flashed with the rooted kernel, you can flash again with the stock kernel, thats the way to root ICS with no yellow triangle. I did a lot of times with GB, i asked because i didnt know if that mothod works with ICS, but its the same, works great! :D
[Galaxy S II General] MrEs:
All good, flashed it about 15 minutes after that, had it rooted 10 mins after that, installed titanium and removed a whole bunch as Samsung bloatware.

Just because I'm new to the process (only got my phone 4 days ago), doesn't mean I'm a moron ;)
[Galaxy S II General] awjunk:
Adobe Flash support?

I saw the Samsung internal ICS FAQ stating that Flash would not be supported in ICS.

Can anyone confirm in the official ICS release, is Flash supported?

FOR All

i need confirmation that if we flash a kernel with "MMC Cap Erase DISABLED" like DreamKernel, is it safe to do wipe Data/Cache or not ?

thats what I am waiting for since yesterday :)

[Galaxy S II General] Phil3759:
Yes, kernel safe is no brick
[Galaxy S II General] jgcaap:
basicly with siayh kernel i can wipe data, and i'm completly safe in case i wanna flash another rom? :) I'm interested later on jelly bean i was a bit worried about this break issue.
[Galaxy S II General] yamen.meddeb:
with stock 4.0.4 u wipe D/C with siyah and u are safe ?
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
Hope this clarifies any doubts:

- Siyah kernel is safe (and probably so are all other custom kernels, check each thread and READ the first posts)

- Stock kernels from 4.0.4 are NOT

It's only *potentially* unsafe (so don't do it just in case) to do wipes when using stock kernel.

So, if you're using a stock 4.0.4, FIRST flash Siyah or other custom kernel, and only after that go to recovery and wipe cache/data if you want. Don't do this before flashing the custom kernel.

Flashing 4.0.4

Hello,baterry sucks on 4.0.3...can someone tell me how is the battery on 4.0.4?

Android os is very high on 4.0.3.

Q:Can I flash 4.0.4 over 4.0.3?

I am using 4.0.3...XWLPF...so can I flash 4.0.4 I9100XWLPO (4.0.4) over that firmware...?

Q2:any bug on that firmware I9100XWLPO (4.0.4)?Any camera bug..bluetooth..or something else?

Most roms have some bug..so anyone who flashed that firmware.

Tnx in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Have a look at my kernel/ROM tests => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26775950

XWLPM and XWLPO (both Android 4.0.4) have got very good battery life on my phone ... although XWLPD (Anbdroid 4.0.3) had better battery life.

So, you might have to check it on your phone, with your apps/settings/usage/etc.

EDIT:

Yes you can flash XWLPO over XWLPF ... you might have to wipe cache after flashing, but not always needed - only when having issues.

On stock ROM/kernel, there are no (camera, bluetooth, etc.) issues/bugs.

Only some custom kernels, which are not fully compatible with 4.0.4 might have some issues - and you will have to install a patch manually to fix it.
[Galaxy S II General] cruz007:
Like any other amateur..is there a kernel for rooting device?

I mean like stock kernel..only have a root?
[Galaxy S II General] lufcmattylad:
Im planning on following this guide.. thanks

just want to get it absolutely right..

step 1; I download the full rom ie. this link for post#1 (I9100XWLPO Download (Thanks To SamMobile!) and then flash it with the bugged kernel on to my insane chip??

step 5; then I flash it over with siyah, so im now safe from the brickbug for future d/c wipes? right?

then i complete the camera/mtp fixes.

at what point do I change the CSC to XEU? can i flash a CSC from an older release? (I usually use this file CSC_I9100XEULP5.tar.md5)

hope my questions make sense
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Have a look at CF-Root => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

This is rooted stock kernel, and CF-Root kernel v5.6 for XXLQ5 (from post #8) works fine for XWLPM and XWLPO too.

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

step 1: Yes, stock is "safe" when staying stock.

step 5: Yes.

You can flash the CSC file whenever you want.

I usually flash the CSC directly with the new stock ROM ... in Mobile Odin app at once.

First I select the new stock ROM file for everything (with "Open file..."), then I change the parts of the firmware that I want to have different, such as kernel (e.g. to SiyahKernel tar file) and CSC (which is "Hidden" and "Cache" e.g. to XEULP5 tar file), and than flash all together at once with "Flash firmware".

With PC Odin, you will have to flash stock ROM first, then flash kernel and/or CSC one by one after each other.

Tried this out briefly but found the home button holding it down did not bring up the task manager.

Also could not get a wall paper to work.

This was after doing full wipe as well.

Q1:If I overwrite 4.0.3..with 4.0.4...my apps don't wipe?

Q2:how high are android os...on battery usage?

Q1: this firmware is no wipe conception so you can flash it without problem (i have made it so) and you dont loose your apps and settings

Q2: the 4.0.4 android release (indipendently if a samsung one or aosp) shouldnt have this bug in every case.

Just curious. A friend of mine got a Galaxy S2 recently, and it's a GT-I9100P. Apparently the only difference is that it has NFC ability, but I've been told you can flash GT-I9100 vanilla roms no problem. I also learned that the antenna for NFC is in the battery.

So I wonder, if I could find one of these batteries with the antennas in, and flash GT-I9100P firmware on my vanilla GT-I9100, will NFC work?
[Galaxy S II General] umberto1978:
We are going OT but even if you recognize a battery of this kind keep in mind that your phone miss the chip for NFC...

So i think it never work

Is the Separate Kernel and Separate Modem necessary to apply I9100XWLPO (4.0.4) ?

Or are they included in I9100XWLPO_I9100NEELP4_I9100XXLQ6_HOME.tar.md5 anyway?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] studiovpc:
they are included, they are there as an option if u need them for later unrooting if you root your phone
[Galaxy S II General] simonprr:
why would you want to UNroot your phone once its rooted?! :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Maybe some users don't want to have permanent root, don't want their apps having root privillages, or just want to claim their warranty.
[Galaxy S II General] whiskerp:
... preferably with a kernel with the emmc "feature" removed and a Bluetooth share that doesn't FC when connected to my car system.
[Galaxy S II General] Gillion:
Mostly for commercial reasons.

Some people root only stock.

So: If there is an issue with the device and they have to send it in to repair... under warranty... a factory reset will not get rid of root.

So you un-root the device and factory reset.

when service centers detect the device is rooted it voids your warranty

The other most important reasons are

1. If you are giving the device to a person who does not need root (like your younger sibling)

2. If you are going to sell the device and the customer would rather have it without root.

[Galaxy S II General] neutronz:
how bout the serial number?
[Galaxy S II General] simonprr:
Does that mean its possibly not safe? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] jenskristian:
It was retracted because they by mistake (they claim) removed local search with this update. It's perfectly safe if you do not flash clockworkmod as this as many other new firmwares has the brick bug.
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
Same thing as all other stock 4.0.4 kernels - CAP_ERASE is enabled so it's "unsafe" (whatever is your opinion about that :p)

Mommy, mommy, I played with something I shouldn't have, and now I'm upset and blaming the other guy for my messup!

Be serious. You are doing things that are not really approved or sanctionned by Samsung. You are messing with their firmware. You are messing with their device. Yes, you bought it, so you can do whatever you want with it. But if you break it, blame YOURSELF. And get the tools and expertise to FIX it before you BREAK it. Don't blame Samsung for YOUR messups.
[Galaxy S II General] Donaghy:
That's bull. The only phones that get bricked in this scenario are the ones that have faulty/broken chips in them. The fact that over half of the Galaxy S2's have the potential to get super bricked after a screwed up flashing job, is because of the fact that all these phones have the faulty eMMC chips. The fact that these phones CAN get super bricked is 100% Samsung's fault. And a little bit Google's, for messing with the enabling of the eMMC chip thing in the new firmwares (though that could also be on Samsung).

Now, of course, if you follow instructions closely the phone should not get bricked. But there's always a chance, because of the broken chips. I would tone it down a bit if I were you. No need to come on here and start slapping around left and right.
[Galaxy S II General] ciprianruse88:
Don't be a smart ass!I've didn't brik my phone because i'm with cm9 since 4 mounths ago!I'm just upset that samsung releases firmware that can damage our phones!F.W.Y. ...WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON XDA IF YOU DON'T WANNA PLAY WITH YOUR DEVICE!!??
[Galaxy S II General] jonamafun:
So... 803 pages later... are there any stock-ICS-look themes available for LPO yet? Or even just blue-ICS colors?
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
Just for the record, it's something entirely controlled by Samsung and not Google; they're the ones that coded the kernel based on plain Linux (unlike Android, on top of that, which is made by Google and then tuned by Samsung).

About "blame", "not supposed to mess with", etc.:

It's true that only people flashing custom stuff should have problems.

However, a company's reputation among these circles, at least, is measured not only by the product quality but also the openness to the community. Remember that there are other vendors not so friendly towards custom code (locked bootloaders, sources availability, etc.). It's not perfect but Samsung does keep a sort of an open attitude, at least that's my impression.

Go and compare that with i* :laugh:
[Galaxy S II General] leolysenko:
samsung

Gentlemen,

Samsung has nothing to do with the fact that users who use CWM can get bricks. It is a problem of CWM only

On the stock firmware you will never get a brick.

So stop blaming Samsung. Be serious.
[Galaxy S II General] dandan_00000:
is it possible to get a flashable zip of LPT wanna flash it as second rom
[Galaxy S II General] ggravier:
I don't mind playing with my phone. I do. I'm not running the official firmware that came with it. But I'm running stock for another country code. I learned how to do that with XDA.

What am I doing with XDA? Certainly not blaming Samsung if I mess up. First I'll blame myself for not having documented myself properly. Second I'll re-read the instructions and, if they are faulty, MAYBE blame the writer of the instructions, but more likely help fix instructions for the next person. And STILL NOT BLAME SAMSUNG.

Samsung is one of the most hacker-friendly vendor. They provide devices to community for hacking. They provide instructions, support, they even fund the development of community distros.

So STOP BLAMING SAMSUNG. Don't complain if you mess-up. Be a grown up.

Factory reset in stock kernel can lead to a brick, so it is Samsung's fault. They messed up big time by bringing this kernel code over from the Note after the bug was already well known.
[Galaxy S II General] ricnar456:
1) the 4.0.4 russian, NEE, and ireland are official not leaks.

2) There aren't reports of bricking with all stock, all reports are bricking with CWN. I read all reports, links to forums with bricks and all use CWN.

3)Stock are completely safe 100% in wipe, or any operation

4)And if you wait for samsung change any code, sit down are you sit, well wait, I tell in this forums two months ago ALL ROM WILL COME SIMILAR NOT COMPATIBLE WITH CWN, and you are seeing, and continue waiting, blaming, but samsung has not fault at all and don't repair CWN, is not samsung code.

[Galaxy S II General] whiskerp:
I think that if you read this forum, there are reports of hard bricks caused by pure stock firmware.

[Galaxy S II General] ricnar456:
No there are not I read all the reports.

One user send me the proof of ONE user who brick with all stock.

ricnar
[Galaxy S II General] ggravier:
I'm pretty sure what he means is that if you update from stock to stock, you won't brick your phone. And by "stock to stock" I mean if you use the updates provided either OTA by Samsung or through Kies. Anything else qualifies as "risky" by my book. Level of risk depending on how far you deviate from "stock".

Gilles.
[Galaxy S II General] ricnar456:
If you update with odin and use wipe from stock is 100% safe

read all the post stock are 100% safe only wiping or using CWN is dangerous.

I try all the leaked roms and russian, nee, ireland all wiping stock perfect.

I flash in Note with the dangerous roms, and wipe Three times and perfect, and all users who wipe from recovery stock are 100% safe.

ricnar
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
you have lots of reading to do, you assume a lot of things that are incorrect.

Samsung has implemented code in the kernel that does not agree with some eMMC chips that are running on a certain firmware, if a factory reset is performed, a brick can result from this, it is a huge issue over in the Note forums, completely stock firmwares, the thought that you have of being safe by running stock is incorrect, 3rd party custom kernels with the dangerous code DISABLED are actually safer.

Do some reading mate, this issue is too well documented for you to have such a poor understanding of it
[Galaxy S II General] ggravier:
So I note that in the example above, they flashed a different country code :

If you read my post, I said :

This means same country code. This implies no wipe done by flashing. Anything else deviates from the official means and encurs a risk.
[Galaxy S II General] Carson_ls:
So is that mean the safety precaution to avoid bricking our phone is flashing the custom kernel with eMMC code disable then it's just only safe to perform a full wipe/factory reset via CWM :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] pupochek:
FWIW, same country code does NOT imply no wipe done by flashing...
[Galaxy S II General] ggravier:
Let's say that neither on my Galaxy S, neither on my S2, neither on my S3 did I get a wipe after flashing through Kies or OTA, even when going from Android 2.x to 4.x. And I have updated through Kies / OTA every single time there was a new build available. I'm sure there were other people with other cases... but for me, never a wipe. Only wipe that happened was when I changed CSC from AUT to DBT on my S2. Further updates remaining on DBT never wiped my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
Can anyone share a single link to a situation where stock kernel + stock recovery lead to a brick?

BTW, my personal theory is that pure stock 4.0.4 *might* be unsafe :D (check my reasoning here).
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
Above was the query

Below was the answer from Entropy512

See the part that I have underlined, bolded and is also in italics, this is from a recognized developer that has been in contact with Samsung about the issue

Take the above information and do with it as you please

---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

Your theory is correct, far less likely does not mean safe

People have done wipes on unsafe kernels and escaped without a brick
