The big problem is most country don't have Jtag service!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sam142000:
Guys, my phone gets hot near the camera while browsing the internet..

I'm facing this problem since siyah rc5, on 3.1 now.

Any fix for this? I'm on stock Sammy rom!

Someone here suggested to use os monitor, but that too didnt help!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kachrukamble:
Sam, use stock kernel as of now.. don't take chances dude!

Just a report:

Came from codeworkx 22nd build with bugged rc6

1. Wipe cache and dalvik

2. Reflashed codeworkx 22nd build

3. Flashed latest 3.1 kernel

4. Rebooted to recovery

5. Flashed codeworkx build

6. Flashed again 3.1 build

7. Rebooted to recovery

8. Performed factory reset

9. Rebooted phone

So far in between those reboots my phone is working fine. So it may be safe to flash 3.1.. bdw, i was trying to replicate the process(dunno if that was the right one) that people did to hard brick their phones and so far it is ok to factory reset 3.1 build..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kachrukamble:
You can say that as you didn't bricked your S2 yet..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Orka82:
I forgot to quote punkmonkey.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rlorange:
Yes but I accept that risk every time I flash.

Not being callous and I do hope all you unlucky people have a way to get download mode back.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] akira888:
Hi there,

I found in the latest kernel v3.1, I cannot use most of the installed apps. It looks like a swapped mount points issue?

Is there any instruction that we can follow to swap it back or GM can do it in the next release for us?

I didn't have this issue in rc6.

thanks

Good Luck bro..

And me :P

Let's agree that it the phone was bricked while we were watching a movie and suddenly the phone went black and died.

I hope they call the SGS2 back because of this issue and give is SGS3 :P

Going to send it to service today.

Hello Gokhan

Everything seems ok for me : Bln, mount points, etc ...

All bugs I have are from the roms I run.

Thanks again for your great work :o)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Appumon123:
Confused

I don't know why I always have bad experiences when I flash Siyah kernel with CM9.

My phone wouldn't go into deep sleep. First I thought it was BLN which caused the issue, but the problem wasn't solved even after I disabled it.

I switched back to CM9 stock kernel by CWM recovery. I had backed up just before flashing Siyah.

Now I get deep sleep of around 90-95%.

Anyone else got this issue of an insomniac kernel? I was using latest RC6
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pikachu01:
On wifi? Check for wlan_rx_wake wlan_wake wakelocks. It might be the same problem I'm facing. Speedmod doesn't have this problem.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Flasher8:
Guys , sorry if this question answer before.

Could anyone guide me how mount mine internal SD card same as previous.

I do not had external SD card, I'm using internal SD card now and after I flash latest 3.1 siyah. I could not find my internal SD card location. Have been search mnt /emmc & SD card but also could not found.

Any help is very much appreciated. Hope you guys can understand my bad English.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Appumon123:
Nope. 2G data. Had checked for wakelocks in BBS. Found l2_hsic and multipdp as the main culprits. Do you know these 2?

Searched a lot, didn't find good help online, so finally decided to go back to cm9 kernel.

Thanks for pointing me 2 speedmod. I'll give that a try later. Can't do it now. My final exams are 2moro. Saying goodbye to college. Wish me luck! :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pikachu01:
Speedmod is only for Samsung ROMs, not CM9 :)

Not familiar with those 2 wakelocks also. Might be something else.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ramelov:
You're right but I have my storage configuration setting ticked so it should be the other way round. Actually there is some problem I didn't notice. Siyah kernel is not compatible now with latest mount point changes in cm 9. With my storage settings (ticked) I don't see my apps installed on sd card even though cards are mounted in es file explorer as it should be.

I have installed 3.1rc6 yesterday and now my cell is bricked, after installtion from cwm, when i rebooted, cell is dead didn't even get on :( :( couple of other guys here told me also that they have bricked after installing rc6
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kero^:
Yes a couple of people including me bricked their phone with rc6. Don't bother trying to fix it as we already tried the options.

If you have warranty then send it to the service, and don't tell them you bricked it but it just went dead after watching a movie or playing a game.

If samsung service workers read xda forums they'll probably know that many phones with siyah inside are coming...

Hey boyz,

Is 3.1 safe?

wanam v11.1 siyah v3.1 rc6
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Dunno which version of rc6 you have, but to be on the safe side, do not wipe anything, just download the .tar version of 3.1 and flash through odin. Post that you should be good, no problems with 3.1 yet:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MemoryController:
@gokhanmoral

I compiled the ics siyah with CONFIG_KEXEC and tried to load the neak kernel but it just hangs at kexec -e. It loads neak fine but hangs where i said, both via adb and after stopping the Android GUI and by editing init to first to the kexec before anything else....

Any ideas?????
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
another point of view may be that if Samsung is reading the forum they probably should tell his services to fix the phones because that happened because of their korean sources and most of the people use their device because of the freedom of installing custom kernels and additional functionality of having root.

I have just woke up and I am still feeling really bad for those who had that problem.

although that was not intentional I apologize again.

there was a guy who told me that happened with some other custom kernels which uses korean sources and CWM recovery (touch changes are just in the ui part) causes that problem. I will try to find the part to blame.

because in the recovery sources that I use there are no chages except for adding some custom menuitems.

the only change is this and this is only cosmetic:

- sprintf(&format_menue[formatable_volumes].txt, "format %s", v->mount_point);
+ if( !strcmp(v->mount_point, "/emmc") )
+ sprintf(&format_menue[formatable_volumes].txt, "format internal storage");
+ else if( !strcmp(v->mount_point, "/sdcard") )
+ sprintf(&format_menue[formatable_volumes].txt, "format external storage");
+ else
+ sprintf(&format_menue[formatable_volumes].txt, "format %s", v->mount_point);
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rauschkugl:
Come on. Don't flood the thread with the same questions now. Read back or just stop flashing kernels if you're afraid.

Btt. Mount points on 3.1 are correct for me on Sammy rom. They were not correct on the last 2 or 3 revisions of rc6 I think but now it's working again.

can see internal and external storage in Root Explorer :) no problems here
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I have updated rc6 post.

if your camera is not working that means you have rc6 with korean base

and it is dangerous.

just boot into download and flash another kernel.

if you don't trust this one, use cfroot. if you have cm9 flash cfroot first and use cwm recovery of cfroot to flash cm9 nightly again. it is no-wipe and it will also flash cm9 kernel.

My model is GT-I9100 (ITALIAN VERSION..) GS2.

I have a question. I want to use xbox 360 controller for windows with wireless receiver with my sgs II. I'm using syiah kernel.

When I connect it the leds are blinking and it's recognized in your USB host controller under connected usb devicec, however it says S3C USB host driver NOT found. Can I somehow add it? Is iut passible? I'm "fighting" with it since a week and can't find a solution. I don't need extra power, right?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
For those of you that are bricked try any of these, booting to download mode of course :

-Boot without sim card

-Boot without sd card

-Boot without sd and sim

-Boot without battery but with power cable

-Take batter out for half hour no power, try to turn on to discharge any residual power then put battery back and try again

For any of the above that does not require a power cable have it plugged to your pc to see if it going bong :-)

Hope this is of help, let me know! Without one in from of me it's not easy to fix but I am not willing to accept these are full bricks just yet.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kero^:
Do you have any idea if the data (pictures/ etc) are lost after JTAG?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
I just flashed cm9 with this kernel and it replaces the kernel. It seems only wiping or restoring a nandroid causes issues on that kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
no because I am back to the original base and I didn't spend any time fixing that part after yesterdays disaster.

I will try some other driver later but for now 3.1 has that problem. wifi may not turn on every time you try. you have to try several times or keep it always on.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SergeF1:
Good battery consumption so far, absolutely great kernel, a lot of customization options i have to say, ExTweaks is just amazing...the camera bug is not there anymore, at least on Hidrog3nICS, So far so good the V3.1. Haven't found anything weird.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
What exactly is the build number of the possibly flawed version? I read all the thread but haven't found it written clearly, just referring to it as "the latest" rc6. I don't know if its the latest of the multiple releases of rc6, but I have rc6 #56. Will flash 3.1 through Odin asap just to be sure :)

Thank you!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bajee11:
Dude you got no issues with apps trying to save data? since internal sd is not longer mounted as /sdcard. That's the only thing keeping me away from 3.1. I think im going to install new RC6. It should be the same as 3.1 but with the non CM standard mounting. am i correct ghokan?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Alson McLaren:
aha..

so that's it...

ok i'll leave it on all the time and wish u can fix it cuze i know u can...

i can't use any other kernels cuze this one is THE BEST!!

btw.. if i want to turn the wi fi on and when it get stuck after awhile the kernel panic screen appears...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Crescendo Xenomorph:
Ah that's explain why this wifi keeps turning off by itself.

I thought it was my Juice Defender setting... Till I disabled the JD and still got the same issue...

Its not exactly turned off, but just disconnected by itself while sleeping...

But the rest (I mean the other feature except wifi) is GREAT and SUPERB!

Thanks Gokhan... :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ankit Tulsian:

I flashed 3.1 without wipe and it's working, but FRONT camera is still not working (FC after taking a picture).

Only the 8mpix camera works.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BoneMo:
in cm9 you can go to Settings-Storage-menubutton-storage config. and tick use internal storage
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] antt00:
I think it was #76. But its easy to detect, if your camera FC then thats the one. Its the only RC6 with camera FC on all roms.

I have the same problem very often with some versions of siyah. Sometimes after wipe cache, dalvik and restart the phone 3 or 4 times the problem does not repeat.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pay.c:
Just btw:

I think it would be great if there would be at least some info on bricking-risk on the front-page of the thread and/or on gokhanmoral.com. Please don't get me wrong, don't want to play the kernel down, but if I read "Known Problems: no known problems yet" as at the same time some severe and (as far as I read) not fully understood risk of bricking the phone is around, it's worrying me slightly.

Yes, there is always a bricking-risk with custom kernels/ROMs. But at least one could minimize the risk, you know. ;)

BR!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ogy77:
Anybody know is fixed bug with CM9 storage?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
What bug, Gok has just matched the same mounting points as the CM9 standard. If you want them how they were then tick the box in the storage configuration. You need to use 3.1 if you're on the latest CM9.

Please don't take this as being condacending or smug. I light of there now being a dangerous kernel lurking out there among 4 other versions with the same file name, maybe from now on you should label minor updates a, b, c and so on.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zaphod777:
For those with "bricked" phones are you able to connect using ADB? I think several pages back someone mentioned they were able to get something to come up connected to their machine. If you can get an ADB shell you might be able to push a factory image onto the phone using DD and the proper file / partition.

I actually tried dd a data.img into that partition - it freezes the cwm. :P

On another thought - Perhaps GOM can make a custom "kernel" that can help us - by skipping mmcblk0p10 (/data) and use the "Dual ROM" method - use the internal SD and a .secondrom/data.img to "temporarily" solve our issue? i am sure this will work - worst thing we lost is the internal memory since it is used for data.img :P

Seeing as there are buggy versions out there (which is perfectly normal for something which is developed actively), gokhan should really consider to introduce some kind of naming scheme for minor versions...

I don't want to force him to do anything, but I just can't see why he shouldn't want it...

Greetings
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I don't think you can keep an additional kernel image in initramfs while keeping the kernel size smaller than 8MB.

but you can put that in system partition and mount system, copy it back to tmpfs and then use, maybe...

or you can modify initramfs and have both kernels use the same payload. just as in cm9.. have a simple initramfs which extracts the boot or recovery files from /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 and then maybe you can fit both kernels in one image.

That screenshot is with rc6 latest update (3.0.28) and i see in es file explorer thet the name of external sd card is emmc. I do favorite foldel. Without any changes, just flash v3.1 wipe cache and dalvik, remove any tweaks and when power on phone, i load es file explorer and directory who i put to favorites (mnt/emmc/) is called /mnt/sdcard. Maybe thats the problem to missing apps. With check and uncheck box in storage settings, favorite folder is called same name.
