yep..perhaps all those who complain about battery life should try wiping before flashing a new rom...sometimes some files from diff bases render incompatible and can cause many diff issues..so plz..jus go ahead backup your stuff via titanium and wipe...its for your own good!
[Galaxy S II General] Yordan5:
OK, wiped everything and re-flashed. Hopefully this time the battery will last longer. Thank you for your suggestions.

I'm using a branded, stock, Orange Romania, BVLPB firmware.

I couldn't find any way to properly root this firmware, without having any issues.

Is there any chance that you will create a pre-rooted version of this firmware?

I would really appreciate it.
[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:
Yeah no problem I will get one sorted for you!

North East Coast UK Modems

These Roms look fantastic, Always used Stock Roms, but never quite found a desent UK one with a good Modem for my area / battery life

Im in Newcastle UK on Virgin / T-Mobile, and am downloading both LPD and LPG..

The only reason Im still on 236 GB is because the Modems under ICS are terrible for my area, but never used these PDAs/Phone/CSC Combos before.

Is LPG the newest one youve put together and how are you finding Battery life on LPX Modem for T-Mobile/Virgin/Orange UK.

Night
[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:
Been using LPG with LPX modem for a month or so now and have not encountered any issues. Everything works as it should and the modem seems pretty reliable and stable but having said that, I am on giffgaff which runs through O2 network. LPG is the newest thus far and is very stable, reliable and fast. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II General] NightOrchid:
Thanx liquid ill give LPG a go, I often wonder though if a uk modem should work for us all simply because alot of Providers are using the same masts these days.. such as Virgin/T-Mobile/Orange, then theres Giffgaff / O2.. I think its only Voda and 3 who seem to be independent.. but then i could be wrong.

Also, Ive noticed youve catered for rooting.. as Ive always used stock, Ive never rooted before.. which i thought was only used for custom roms, so i think ill read up on rooting and see its advantages.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:
Yes I implemented rooting but if you dont require it then you dont have to use it. :)

SG2 Rooting

Hi there I want to root my Galaxy S2 so that I can unlock it. Should I download the Vodafone ROM link you posted?

Here are my phone details:

Android- 4.0.3

Baseband- I9100BULP6

Kernel- 3.0.15-I9100BULPC-CL332484dpi@DELL154#3

Build Number- IML74K.BULPC

Also I tried finding an insecure kernel to flash it using ODIN, it kept saying pass, but when I used QuickRoot, it kept saying "Failed" "Make sure you have flashed insecure kernel.

I would appreciate your help

Kindest Regards

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

Also when I try extracting the I900BULPC VOD MD5 file, it keeps asking me for the password, and I don't know what it is, please help!

Thanks

@liquid hello sir, i used your insecure kernels and rooting app on xwlpm, worked great. Would it be possible to root the factoryfs.img bit of xwlpm?
[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:

Hi there, can you please point me in the right direction because I have tried using odin v1.85, it says pass but it doesn't actually root it? I have been told that my kernel version is hard to root:

Android- 4.0.3

Baseband- I9100BULP6

Kernel- 3.0.15-I9100BULPC-CL332484dpi@DELL154#3

[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:
Nah whos told you that? Easy peasy to root. Just download the insecure and original kernel for BULPC from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25311449

And download Samsung Quick Root from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14754431

Flash the insecure kernel with odin on your pc. Phone will boot up with a yellow triangle.

Run Samsung Quick Root and press the root button. If all has gone well then just simply flash the original kernel back to your device with odin and you will be rooted. :)
[Galaxy S II General] cricman92:
lyriquidperfection

Thanks for replying, basically I have tried that, and in odin it says PASS, but I never see a yellow triangle, and when I use quickroot it says "failed" and that my device has not been rooted. I even used an app to check if its been rooted, and it tells me that it hasn't been rooted.

Many thanks

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

Also I downloaded the insecure kernel, and tried to extract it so I can click on PDA and open it, but it won't let me extract it, it keeps asking for a password and I don't what it is!

Many thanks
[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:
Okay, here are your options:

You can either download the complete Pre-Rooted BULPC firmware from the second post in this thread and flash in odin. Nothing else needs to be done and your device will have root.

OR

You can root your device yourself by firstly downloading and flashing an insecure kernel, let phone boot then use Samsung Quick Root, then flash original kernel back. Must be done in that order!

Password for Pre-Rooted Firmwares are in the beginning of the thread in RED and the password for the insecure kernels is in the same place of that respective thread. But the password is: LyriquidPerfection@XDA in case you are struggling to find it. You just need to read things more thoroughly and follow guides to the letter.

Hope this helps! :)

Pre-Rooted I9100XWLPM firmware has now been uploaded.

Enjoy! :)
[Galaxy S II General] wakibaci:
Hi lyriquidperfection and thanks for your latest upload ;)

If i use this Rom- Pre-Rooted I9100XWLPM and have a back up of CM9.Do i run the risk of initiating the brick bug that seems to be present in all the latest 4.0.4 Roms if i decide to restore CM9 through Rom manager,or is it just if i perform a wipe when coming from stock.

Thanks for any advice.
[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:
Wiping from stock recovery is fine but to be on the safe side, if moving to another Rom from this one, just flash the Rom you want in Odin, then perform the wipe. Keeps you safe. Also stock recovery is safe on XWLPM. Done a wipe myself and had no problems. Its just CWM that initiates the brick bug because of the method it uses to perform a wipe. Hope this helps. :)
[Galaxy S II General] wakibaci:
Thanks for clearing that up for me:good:

Hi there I rooted my galaxy s2 using your pre rooted firmware, it worked a charm!! I then unlocked it using the galaxt s2 unlock app, my question is that my phone is so slow when it comes to downloading and playing youtube videos. If I restore it to factory settings, will I have to root and unlock it again??

Kindest Regards
[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:
Nope! :) Factory reset will retain root on my rom and sim unlocking is a one time thing so once its done, you wont have to do it again.
[Galaxy S II General] donkim0822:
thanks for your work

I flashed your pre rooted XWLPM ROM on my GS2. I previously had 2.3.5 then had Kies update to 4.0.3. All non-wipe. Battery was draining fast with 4.0.3 so I was looking for an alternative.

With your ROM, it's much better compared to 4.0.3. I froze most of Samsung apps with TB and now battery life is on par with the GB build I had. I don't use CWM ATM so brickbug or not, doesn't matter to me. After flashing and playing with this build, I wiped cache with stock recovery, and used Andromizer app from Play store to wipe dalvik cache -- dunno if this was necessary though.

Once I saw how fluid everything has become with ICS, I just couldn't go back to GB.

Thank you! This is perfect for me.
[Galaxy S II General] OsirisD:
Hi, I know you've stated that it's a "time consuming process", but is there any chance you add XWLPO or XXLQ7 this weekend? Thanks!

Since the ICS "emmc_erase_cap" issue I think that your method is the safest(doesn't involve CWM...).
[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:
XWLPO is already done, just got to upload it and ill sort XXLQ7 either today or tomorrow.
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
I'm waiting for your XWLPO release so that I can flash and go back to stock ROM :)

Mine is a clean stock odin package with just root and busybox added. The one you mentioned is a zip that has to be flashed through cwm.
[Galaxy S II General] OsirisD:
Nice, seems like I'll be getting 4.0.4 this weekend :).
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
XWLPO is longer available on checkfus or Samsung servers . I'm suspecting its because of legal issues over universal search but it could be buggy or something else as well.

I am in UK on stock ICS 4.03 XWLP7 updated via Kies from Gingerbread.

I would like to update to your LPO when it appears but I cannot see any way of doing a nandroid backup without doing something that would recommend a backup first e.g. cf root. Am I missing something? The standard recovery doesn't seem to include a nandroid backup option.

Its fine you will be able to flash this without losing data as I upgraded to LPM from LP7 without issues.

[Galaxy S II General] OsirisD:
Be very careful, method 1 is very risky(it involves CWM). Don't wipe from CWM recovery.

[Galaxy S II General] AaronUK:

[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:
Yes flash one of the roms here but dont do a wipe until after flashing if you need to because this way ull already have the stock recovery back by then. Im uploading pre-rooted XWLPT tomorrow morning if you want to hold out until then. :)
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
You will have no higher risk for bricking compared to flashing a stock ROM to your phone IMO.

As you agree that there is no 100% safety, it should be "safe" ... yes.

Any updates? :)
[Galaxy S II General] azulgranas:

Try to boot into recovery and wipe cache.

If that does not work, try to flash the ROM again.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II General] azulgranas:
Thanks for your help. But this firmware had the emmc brick bugs so if i do wipe anything, my phone will be hard-bricked?

I had a UK handset with 4.0.3 LP7 (XEU) installed and CWM recovery that causes the brick with faulty eMMC chip.

I flashed over the 4.0.3 LP7 (XEU) CWM recovery with the LP7 UK (XEU) 4.0.3 in this thread to back to stock recovery.

I then flashed the 4.0.4 LPT (XEU) in this thread and all went well.

is it safe to flash from stock DXLP7 4.0.3 to XWLPT 4.0.4?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes, I have done it without any issues.

I used Mobile Odin app to flash the new stock ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:
Flash it in the Desktop version of Odin as my ROM is already rooted and desktop Odin will flash all partitions including sbl and boot. This may be what is causing you problems.
[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:
Yes thats fine, just use Desktop Odin to flash to avoid any potential issues.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
No problems detected so far :fingers-crossed:

Your pre-rooted XWLPT works fine on my phone ... even without flashing the bootloader.
[Galaxy S II General] jhetskie:

just to be sure...

im in 4.0.3 official rom XLPS with CWM recovery, eMMC checker app says sane chip, but got brick app says unknown chip. I must have the stock recovery to install any of the 4.0.4 versions in this post??? or i can do it with my current status??

i really like cwm but i have read this cause the brick
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
You don't need the recovery mode to install pre-rooted ROMs from here.

Extract the downloaded sip file and flash the tar file in PDA section of Odin ... or use Mobile Odin app to flash the ROM file.
[Galaxy S II General] skaarax:
ok, after install any 4.0.4 version am i able to install cwm???
[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:
Dont see the point myself unless you plan on flashing custom roms but if you really want to then its fine.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Maybe he wants CWM for creating nandroid backups.
[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:
Ahhh yes forgot about that feature! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] skaarax:
yes both are correct! because in the future i want to try other roms and the nandroid backup is essential to me, i will try LQ7 :D

which is the best method to install CWM, i would like to install the chainfire but like it will have already root... or i should download rom manager from play store and flash CWM recovery from there??? or just install other kernel???

Flashed from 2.3.4.. no 3g

Hi all,

I recently flashed my firmware to: I9100_XEU_I9100XWLPM_PRE-ROOTED_I9100XXLQ6_I9100XEULP5, from a stock 2.3.4 on an Orange UK ROM. I've noticed I never seem to be able to get a 3g signal, I occasionally see if pop up now and then but then it quickly reverts back to HSPDA. Any particular file you recommend I use? Battery usage also seems to have increased.
[HTC One X] AZanshin:
Screen went black during phone call, audio still present. Then the phone shut off and refuses to turn on, no charging led when connected to power supply. Battery still had 75% charge during call
[HTC One X] Tinderbox (UK):
Have you tried holding the power button down for 10 seconds?

John.
[HTC One X] AZanshin:
Thanks. This has also happened on my girlfriends device numerous times.
[HTC One X] dusanzk:
Similar thing happened to me, i was charging my One X while it was off (the battery completely depleted).

The notification LED was on (red) indicating it was charging, the LED turned off after about an hour of charging, i tried to turn it on and nothing, absolutely no reaction.

I've tried holding the power button for 10 seconds, also tried a vast combination of buttons;

Volume up + power.

All three buttons at once.

Any suggestions before i take it to the shop?

UPDATE:

5 minutes after posting this the LED light turned on, i tried to turn the device on and it did, so everything seems to be fine now, i just don't get how after an hour on the charger, when i turned it on just now my HTC One X battery was at 2%

In any case I won't be letting the battery deplete to 0% anymore
[HTC One X] riemervdzee:
@dusan do you have CWM as recovery? It is known that battery-charge is broken, even when the device is off, when cwm is flashed.

Try to get into fastboot after some while, flash the stock recovery as fast as possible and turn the device off again for charging.
[HTC One X] dusanzk:
That would explain it, I do have CWM, I don't know how but I guess it charged just enough juice for me to turn the device on.

If I flash stock recovery will I be able to recharge the phone with the device off ?

Also would I lose root in that case?

It could really be 300mb ish. Remember 60+mb of the rom is just those videos that play in the weather app. Ringtones, etc add up to probably another 15-20, so we have 80mb right there.

Unlikely probably, but possible.

what I said wasn't offensive. It was just a question. Because honestly we are all sick of these threads

I like to hear about leaks but it should be pertained to one single thread because these threads become a playground for trolls.
