Well, the upside-down lockscreen just happened to me despite the fix. Albeit that's the first one in a very long time.

However, the irritating 1-2 second lag after pressing the power button has definitely been fixed for me with this build.prop modification.

And strange as it may seem, but if you set the value to "false" it also applies the same "fix"...but your screen won't rotate.

I am so much happier now that I don't feel the need to keep jabbing at my power button to wake it up again!

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

I'll second these points. My signal strength is definitely lower than before. I have also tried re-flashing the DVLP3 baseband (I already had that baseband version installed) and it has made no difference. It also does not re-connect immediately when the signal indicator shows signal strength has returned. Dropping calls & data connection is a bit of a hassle at the moment on my drive home.

Anecdotally I can also confirm that I now get no drop-outs with bluetooth connections, and streaming over wifi appears to be better than before.

hmmm it seems i have lost soft keys in every rom i tried including stock ics.

however they work in recovery.

trying a different recovery and see how i go.

edit: after a lot of different attempts i followed the directions here http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=1033589 and then reflashed 10.1. softkey lights are not working but the buttons are.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tallustus:
the lights do not work cause of an misstake by me wich i did while porting ICS to that device.

i will release a fix for it soon as its already fixed on via irc released testkernels

Also again for all people wich may encounter SoftKey issues! (non working keys only, not the lights issue!!!)

follow the following steps wich always will fix it!

1. - Create a Backup of your current ROM

2. - Flash a STOCK ICS or GB Rom for GT-I9210(T) via ODIN without a custom kernel!, possibly the TWRP/CWM versions i did work aswell (not tested)

3. - Create a backup of that stock rom without any apps installed etc! (its just for touchkey fixing)

4. - **Optional** may u want to keep this backup for some reason so its a good idea to move to your pc/secure location

5. - Open the Phone dialer and type in *#*#2663#*#*

6. - Hit: Touch key FW update (do it even if phone seems to show correct Touchkey FW (0x7) )

7. - reboot your device and u should have your keys back !

*** if not repeat the whole process (boot -> dialer -> type in code -> update FW -> reboot) **

Hey all,

I'm running stock ICS Rom rooted and with a load of bloatware ripped out... My phone said there was a software update last night on the Stock ICS Rom. I have TWRP installed so it couldn't install the update properly. Anyone know what it is?

EDIT: Went on to the Sammobile website and saw there was a 4.0.x update in March this year... lol Wow, have I been using Tallustus' ROM for that long? Didn't even know about it! ha! Last update I got for stock firmware was back in November last year!

Guys, I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 4G from Telstra (GT-I9210T) and I installed CM10 and DreamKernel 1.6 (this was in October last year) and then rebooted into the ROM, everything was fine, I had everything working, then the next day my phone went flat, and now it will not charge or power on and I have had to go back to an IPHONE 3GS, because I could not find a solution anywhere. PLEASE HELP ME.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huggogguh:
Can you not connect the USB cable and try to boot into recovery? Or ODIN mode? If you can't do either of these and all the phone did was go flat then it sounds like it has to be a hardware or battery problem.

Well the kernel I downloaded was from the page that is now in your sig...

Yeah, it doesn't charge (well, the battery gets hot, but that's about it, I can't even get it to vibrate, light up, or do anything...

But do either of you know how to replace the screen on the phone (if you do, can you either reply here, or PM me with an INDEPTH (like what to remove and what to not remove) tut on how to do so, if it is way to challenging I may just not worry about it), as my aunty just cracked hers, and said she will give it to me if I can get the info off her phone (but the screen is completely broken, no touch or backlight, but the phone still works, makes noises and everything), so what I was planning to do is to put the SCREEN from my broken one, onto her working one with a broken screen, and then get the info off, then put it onto her new GT-I9210T and then update to CM10.1 (is there one for this AWESOME phone) and use this as my phone.

Also, can we use ROMS from another phone and flash some kernel and everything is peachy and works great, because I would love to try an S3 UI'd ROM for a bit if I could.

Hi bwp85,

Did you manage to update to I9210TDVLD1? If so are there any noticeable changes? Im quite happy with the stock firmware as everything is running fine, would you recommend updating?

TimTams, did you follow the full instructions of installing ICSMegaMix from the forum post? I did this last night and it worked perfectly.

Scott
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwp85:
Hi Scott

Nothing noticeable at this stage. I'll see what battery life is like as it think that is the main concern with these phones.

root process was a breeze, no issues at all.

At this stage, I see no reason to update. If you are having softkey issues, it wouldn't hurt doing it, just remember you need to follow the same steps laid out in xrobau's guide over at OCAU for rooting this device.

Followed Qasha's steps, but when i get to flash the ics it tells me

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Can't open sdcard/icsmegamixv1.31.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

I have check MD5 and its correct. Have dl file again. Still same msg.

So I tried installing another ROM

The one I used is from here, Thanks to BWP85. http://d-h.st/uOP

Installed rom. Let it do its thing.

Then redo the steps outlined by Qasha.

This time it worked. It installed the ICSmegamix v1.31.

The only thing I found different from qasha method is, I didn't have erratic screen behavior.

I followed the steps to the tee.

I have lighted buttons. not working, but lit.

Reflashed my CWM backup, went into phone and used the *#*#2663#*#* and reflashed Touch key FW.

I didn't change, but FW updated OK.

Buttons still not working.

Rebooted phone and success finally. Buttons all working.

Thanks Qasha.

Oh. I updated to latest firmware and rooted phone before trying this step. That maybe why I didn't have erratic screen behaviour. not sure.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwp85:
I suggest trying the latest firmware from SamMobile

You will need to login to download it.

Put phone into download mode. (Hold "Volume Down" button while powering up.

Flash downloaded firmware in Odin 1.85 under Phone. Let it do it's thing.

All your apps, media will be left alone.

Use the same procedure laid out in OCAU thread to regain "root".

Once booted, open SuperSU and update the binary (will prompt once you enter)

Done!!!

My pleasure!

That's great news! would I be right in saying that you had a softkey issue with your phone prior to updating to the newest Telstra Firmware? And if so, the update wasn't able to fix the softkey issue? Lastly, you were using a custom rom initially which is why you experienced some difficulties that required you to tweak the process?

Qasha
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robpi:
Yes, I had softkeys issues prior to the update.

And yes the update didn't fix the issue. While it kept all my data etc the phone was no longer rooted. So I had to do the root procedure again. After rooting phone I did a CWM backup. Then I tried your steps.

Always a stock ROM, only rooted

Eventually we got there. Thanks again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwp85:
Most ICS ROM's need CWM Touch.

What version of CWM do you have? I was doing this with 5.8.1.3.

I could flash a ROM with 5.0.2.6 but I could not successfully boot.

I'm glad that ROM found some use.

After doing *#*#2663#*#* FW update, you do need to reboot for the changes to take effect, as you found out.

Hi all,

I've extracted my working 2.3.6 boot.img and placed it in a tar container, ready for Odin, which I believe, may give you back your buttons.

I've also done the same with my recovery.img which should give you CWM.

I've also placed the ICS' boot.img in a tar container so a user can flash that firstly via Odin, then flash the 2.3.6 boot.img and, in theory, should give you your buttons back.

Lastly, I've added both my boot.img and recovery.img (2.3.6) files to the original Telstra firmware release I9210TDVLB3_I9210TTELLB1_TEL.tar.md5 and the most recent release I9210TDVLD1_I9210TTELLB1_I9210TDVLD1_HOME.tar.md5

Unfortunately I haven't been able to test as I don't have a spare phone but if someone out there is willing to do so, let me know and I'll give you the files.

Here is a list of the files I have worked on and ready to offer:

- 2.3.6_softkey_boot.tar (contains my boot.img)

- 2.3.6_softkey_recovery_CWM_5.0.2.6.tar (contains my recovery.img)

- 2.3.6_softkey_boot_recovery.tar (contains my boot.img and recovery.img files)

- ICS_Megamix_1.31_boot.tar (contains boot.img from ICS Megamix 1.31)

- I9210TDVLB3_I9210TTELLB1_I9210TDVLB1_HOME.tar.md5 (replaced original boot.img and recovery.img with my working files but kept everything else the same)

- I9210TDVLD1_I9210TTELLB1_I9210TDVLD1_HOME.tar.md5 (replaced original boot.img and recovery.img with my working files but kept everything else the same)

Let me know if they can be of help.

What possible differences could there be between the standard telstrra firmware and that 1? Aren't they practically identical?

Thanks Qasha. You have a Telstra stock/Australian version of this phone right?

I'd post your files as I/d certainly download them and would feel safer trying the root process again if i found someone who tried your method on an earlier page - still had problems, then reflashed some of your IMG files and then made the buttons work out. See how some others go...

Thanks for the button fix, I've managed to get this thing running ICS, but I have noticed the following issues.

the back button actually seems to function as the home button. In my exchange email folders, if I click on an email to read it, pressing the back button takes me back the home page. then every time I click on email, it takes me to the email I was reading. Only way to get back to the inbox, is to kill the email app. Seems to behave the same in other menus as well.

cant use wifi tethering

gallery crashes

auto rotate doesnt work

I went back into CWM and did a backup of the working system, but when I rebooted, the buttons had stopped working again. did a restore to GB, and everything is back to normal. Tried restoring my ICS backup, but still no buttons.

Cant be bothered to re-install ICS as it takes ages to get running with working buttons, and then I have to setup all my apps, etc.

Has anyone tried any other ICS installs, or is this the best one? I really like some of the features of ICS, but cant live with the bugs, and I'm too impatient to wait for Telstra.....

btw updaing the touch key fw took ages on my phone, over 10 minutes, but I just left it and it eventually finished updating

now, the touch key fw is at 0x7

ok, so more testing, and it seems that I can make and recieve calls, but I cannot hear anything, and the other phone cannot hear me.

Reset Custom Firmmware counter

Have a look at my post in this thread about modems - I believe you need a hybrid approach - the executable from a Telstra ROM and the firmware image from a 727 ROM.

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

Hi All,

If you have managed to increment the custom firmware counter on your device flashing THIS zip file in CWM recovery will reset it to zero.

All the usual caveats apply, I am not responsible if your phone turns into a turnip.

Basically what this does is reflash the partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p2) where the device stores the counter with an image from a clean phone that has never had the counter triggered.

Cheers!

First i flashed baseband in TWRP - radio-att-I727-UCMC1-no-csc-no-ril-cwm

This dont work on swedish network.

And then i flashed radio-UXUMA7-no-csc-no-ril-cwm - this works limited.

so i flashed in a my old 4.0.4 baseband = no go.

if i go back to 4.0.4 baseband i get no imei / basband unknown.

Cant make calls, phones i wierd. and sim card not reconised.

i have even done full phone restor in odin. flashing in original firmware. 4.0.4

bur still no go.

After phone gets restored.

nothing really works. dont get home screen. no icons .. just boot´s up and some messages.

problem is this.

i can flash a 4.1.2 baseband and phone works. limited network options. 3g / h / h+ works, no GSM.

i flash in 4.1.2 officials and stuffs works. (no sound due to kernel issue on Skyrocket models and E110S_MA4_stock.)

and 4.1.2 official looks nice :P

I use Slimrom 4.2.2 and DreamKernel-GTI9210T-v2.0.4.6CM10.1-20130406030045-CWM for now

But i really would like to be able to get back the old baseband.

i have searched here on xda for four days , but skyrocket / GT-i9210 support is limited by developers.

How can this be fixed. any help is appreciated.
