Rooted perfectly, but bricked on flashing rom

Hi guys,

so let me summarize my experience here with my Galaxy SII LTE 4G i9210T:

I have successfully rooted the device using the following links:

http://translate.google.com/translat...laxy-s-ii.html

as the translation wasn't properly translated, I followed the instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1340526

After that, done a backup through CWM, went perfectly fine, then downloaded the latest Resurrection Remix Pro ICS ROM from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1436854

And rebooted my phone, then Bang, phone went completely dead, no lights no power off no power on no anything, tried to combo pressing buttons, forget it, tried AXP mode, no luck, completely dead, ordered a "jig" will get it tomorrow and give it a last shot before starting playing dump on Telstra for warranty replacement.

had anyone flashed ROM for this phone successfully? ICS? I know I have used a i9100 ROM version, but never thought phone will go completely dead here.

god help... let me know what do you think here.

would I get a replacement? would a jig work for me? is i9210T ICS ROM flashable?

I'm convinced it's certain builds of this phone that causes the softkey issue. As per my sig, i have CSC TELLB1 and DVLB3 PDA.

For someone who confirmed it works (on what other like me may describe as dodgy and not 100% full proof) has Base band Version: I9210TDVLD1

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.11-I9210TDVLD1-CL108704

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krookd:
If you want an ics rom just to have ics, you are better off waiting for the update (should be early this month apparantly).

If you just want a custom rom it is a bit more of a difficult problem, the one used to get the softkeys back does not work well, some people are reporting success with other skyrocket ones but i think they all suffer from issues with the 4g.

Firmware/kernal needs

hi guys,

Im Alex and i work in a Telstra shop.

My boss saw my sgs2 was rooted - asked for me to do it for him.

upon following the guides posted i got the phone rooted and rommed with success - however would not get telstra service for my kernel isnt working.

Someone please post either stock kernel or kernel with working telstra service asap! he wants his (second) phone!

And when we send your phones away - we actually send them to NRC in sydney, where they have the appropriate tools to reflash roms etc. Whether they say its under warranty or not... thats another matter.

So I followed the softkey fix steps on overclockers. Worked a treat. Thanks everyone for that.

Haven't tried any rooting recently but just got so annoyed with how crappy the stock UI is I want to try rooting again.

I used a different root package, during install from SD card it came up with an error message saying that install was aborted. I started up my phone but SuperUser app was there? :/

Does this mean my phone is rooted now?

I tried to flash the CM9 Chopsticks rom on there and it just got stuck on the boot splash screen. Waited for like 5 mins and nothing happened so just restoring backup.

Hey I flashed your rom.

My softkeys were working fine on it again. However there's a software update notification that won't go away.

When I try and run software update it comes back with an error. Said something about it can't update.

I'll give you a hand with this if you want.

I'm trying to use Android Kitchen to make a custom ROM from a Nandroid backup I made on my sd card. Theres no errors in cygwin but when I try and flash the zip file it says Installation aborted status (0) any ideas?:eek:

It seems to be the only ICS available for the I9210 - but it's not for the "T" model, I know for the stock 9100 it didn't really matter whether it was T model or not when it came to flashing ROMs...

Any advice on whether it is likely to work or not would be great.

I obviously plan on Nandroiding and I have a USB jig too which I assume works with the 4G model...

Embryo for the skyrocket works and it's seamless. If you need I can send or post the rom and kernel needed. I've installed on my i9210t, but I preferred cm10 with dream kernel 1.7.1. That gave me the option to clock to 1892mhz (1512mhz stock) awesome battery and it was the latest version of jellybean available for this phone at the time. Why do you want ics? As for the 't' model no it doesn't matter the only difference is the i9210 or 'celox' has a hd screen. The motherboard inside our version actually says 'i9210' and 'i9210t' its just got a resistor soldered in a different spot to suit theyre 4g radio frequency

dirtbean, whats your current setup for your sgs24g? I.e ROM, Kernel, Overclocking.. Can you give an example of how your battery is performing over time?

I was updating with the skyrocket nightlies, with dream kernel 1.8.1 (without additional overclocking), and I was lucky to achieve 12-16hours.

I put the Telstra stock ICS 4.0.4 yesterday and it looks like i'm averaging 30 hrs so almost double than CM10 skyrocket nightly.

Would love to hear your results!

Mrlb,

I use my phone extremely heavily as in its only not being used when I'm driving, sleeping or hardly working. I was getting maybe 2-3hours running:

CM10 4.1.2 by talustus build 2012/10/10

Dream kernel 1.7.1 clocked at 1782mhz any higher and it would begin constant reboots.

Scheduler - cpu - smartassv2 kernel - vr. Nfc enabler, softkeys fix, cwm recovery etc

Loved it but as for max time I'm not sure. I have updated with the new Telstra release but I haven't re-rooted or used it properly for a while now as I've upgraded to the siii 4g (hopefully won't have the same update issues with this one). I'll do it tomorrow and let you know. Chances are though I'll be using a skyrocket Rom as talustus updates are few and far between although greatly appreciated.

wake up lockscreen loop

Ok, I've got a little issue with my s2i9210t. I've flashed it with the cyanogen mod and it

Works perfectly, tho the flash comes on when I switch cameras.. but my main issue is

When I lock the phone it works fine, but if the phone wakes up while its still locked it

Keeps lighting up and going dark till the battery is dead.

Ok, I've been watching the wake lock detector and found that its actually my key guard. when is switched on it will lock ok with the power button but if it wakes whilst locked it loops continuously. if I turn it off problem goes away, the phone lights up every now and then but goes back to sleep pretty much straight away.

im not sure if its a bug or not but hopefully someone has solved it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cobalt765:
I got hold of an old S2 recently however some apps are no longer are compatible with it such as Runkeeper and Telstra 24/7 so I was looking how to upgrade. Flashing the Swedish stock 4.1 didn't work so I flashed CM10.1 using this method. Hope it works, if not I have no idea to fix it. DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.

- Ensure you have the USB drivers installed in your computer. Installing the latest Kies should fix this.

- Download Odin 3 v1.85 and unzip

- Download TWRP (dont unzip)

- Download CM10.1 (don't unzip)

- Download Gapps (don't unzip)

All are available here: – drop canvas.com/ukiry

If you can, make a backup first. I didn't and was lucky that it worked fine.

1) Shutdown phone then enter bootloader menu by holding Vol -, Home, Power until something comes up. Then press Vol+

2) Run Odin

3) Connect phone to PC. A yellow box with COM:10 or similar should appear in Odin and the word 'Added' in the log.

4) Click on the PDA button and choose your TWRP.rar

5) Click Start and wait until it says Pass in green, wait until you are sure its finished.

6) Turn on phone and put CM10.1 and Gapps on the ext SD of your phone

7) Turn off phone then enter recovery menu by holding Vol-, Vol+, Power until the first Samsung logo comes up.

8) You should now be in the Team Win Recovery. Do a factory reset. Choose install then firstly choose CM10.1 from your memory card then add another file and choose Gapps. Slide to flash them. DO NOT TURN OFF PHONE.

9) Once that has finished, Wipe Dalvic / Cache.

10) Reboot and Done !!

Mine is working fine and the soft keys are all ok. Good luck !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cobalt765:
Further update. I seemed to have a couple of random shutdowns (though it might have been why the phone was replaced by my wife in the first place) and also the battery seemed to run out fairly quickly.

I got hold of CM10.2 from another site and can be found here. Was put on last night with no issues over the top of the previous. I did need a new updated TWRP though which has to be flashed via Odin.

I have a question regarding the Android MediaRecorder - This class is driving me nuts. ;)

My test device

HTC Desire HD

Firmware 2.3.5

I want to write an app, which records a video. This should be implementet via the MediaRecorder (not via Intents).

On the Google-Developers site I found a "tutorial" (http ://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html)

My problem:

I followed the whole tutorial.

When I'm starting my application on my test device it throws an exception ("start failed") at recorder.start() if I set the quality to high (CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_HIGH).

If I change the setting to QUALITY_LOW the app starts recording for 1-2 seconds. After that the screen freezes and my LogCat tracks the following errors:

media server died!

camera server died

ICamera died

I also get ERROR 100

Hopefully you can help me.
