[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DIMENSIONAL:
I was wondering if anyone could help me out please. I've tried searching the forums, but I haven't been able to find my exact issue. Basically, I feel as if my phone seems to have increasing issues with flashing through Clockwork Recovery; here's the details:

I originally rooted my phone using the Odin flash method. I flashed the Juggernaut available at the time, wiping data/factory, cache, dalvik, and battery stats through clockwork first, and letting it chill for 15 minutes with the first boot. I follow the same steps each time I flash another rom ( I've read that I should also wipe /system, but Juggernaut seems to do that itself, so I haven't ). A month and a half ago, I wanted to add a few things, so I wiped, then flashed the latest Juggernaut, rebooted, let it settle,and then flashed the ICS Ultimate Theme, no wipe, then after another settle, flashed the Pdroid zip ( no wipe ) I made with the v1.27 auto-patcher. Everything seemed to work flawlessly for a month or so, then I started having issues that just kept getting worse: phone freezing while installing market apps then unfreezing, camera lagging, random freeze & reboots, etc. I tried fix permissions, and no luck. I wiped and tried reflashing everything the way I had, and the phone kept freezing after the faux kernel loading screen. Installing Juggernaut or another rom by itself, or a nandroid restore, is the only thing that got it past boot. Not even themes flashed over roms that they're made for get past boot. I restored my phone to stock using this method, wiped both SD cards, and re-rooted then flashed Juggernaut again, but this time I used clockwork's wipes and darkside's super wipe before flashing, but I still can't flash anything but the rom itself without a boot loop, even with fix permissions. I had a similar issue on my old mytouch Espresso; consecutive flashes seemed to almost eat away at my phone and make things worse, but that phone also had hardware issues. I'm using a new MicroSD since then. Also, if it means anything, I tried flashing the new clockwork touch from the zip on these forums after these issues started, and it never took, however, flashing through Rom Manager's after I purchased it worked fine.

Sorry about the long post, but I wanted to detail everything I've tried that I could think of before bothering anyone here. Does anyone know what could be the issue? I would really appreciate some help, because this issue is really frustrating, and I have no idea what's causing it. :(

Could someone help me with this please? I can try and get a log cat if needed. I'm just really hoping to get to the bottom of these issues. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] techfanatic9:
I will be glad to help you out!

One big problem I see is that your not using Darkside Superwipe before flashing new roms.

So I would highly recommend you flash Darkside Superwipe first (clears all cache, partitions, ect very very thorughly) Better option than manually clearing cache and all that in clockwork mod.

Try Darkside Superwipe install the rom and see if you get any problems.

Here's how to use it if you dont know how to:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
I'd like to point out that he does in fact use tdjs super wipe.

OP: have you tried other ROMs or kernels. In my past experiences, faux kernel did not meet my expectations so I moved along to another one. Give my configuration a go (refer to my signature) and let me know of the problem persists
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DIMENSIONAL:
Thanks for the replies!

techfanatic9 - I originally just wiped through clockwork ( before darkside superwipe was standard ), but now I use that too, and I'm still having those issues. I watched through the entire video just in case, and I'm doing it just like they say to.

iLeopard - I have tried Digital Warfare, but I still have the same issue when flashing things over it ( ICS Theme and/or PDroid ), even if it's supposed to be compatible, though I haven't tried kernels yet. I'll give your sig's setup a try and report back.

Meanwhile, could anything else be the issue? As you can probably tell, I've tried almost every mistake I could think of, and since my last phone had the same issue, a similar hardware issue seems unlikely.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DIMENSIONAL:
All right, I've been running that ROM and kernel combo for a few days now. I don't seem to have any issues when I just flash the ROM and kernel, but I get stuck at the boot screen if I try to flash something else on top of it. Also, when I try to restore my text message backups through Gosms ( around 9800 texts that I want to keep ), the phone freezes halfway through the restore, and from that point on, the phone will freeze 5-10 minutes after rebooting, unless I reflash. I make sure I don't have the phone running and I leave it alone while restoring, and it doesn't help. I've only had this gosms issue since my flashing issue, and sometimes it restores fine.

Does anyone know what could be causing that?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Wond3r:
Looking to get my friend a phone and the i can get the ace for a great peice but im worried about the little ram. Is it really enough to not lag while playing games and such? And i dont mean heavy graphic games like nova or even gta 3

I would want to install the most stable rom and speed up the processor a bit
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] dxppxd:
The ace, hurts me to type, IS NOT A GAMING PHONE.

Depends a lot on the game and rom ur on. In general, for a lag free gaming experience you will sacrifice a huge chunk of your battery.

If battery is not an issue, there's a decent collection of casual games that run pretty smooth, just don't expect iPhone4 performance.

It will run angry birds space OK (very little lag) other angry birds not so much. Won't run Zenonia 4, but runs Zenonia 3. U get the picture
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SpaceCaker:
Why i am the only one who runs zennonia 4 succesfully -_-
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
I havent really been playing games on my phone but I remember that angry birds was lagging on KPH (GB) and a bit on the unofficial CM7, havent tried it yet on the official CM7. But in general the RAM on the ace is quite bad. I would suggest you to get a phone that will last in long term, that way youd probably save money as well.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] GSC1000:
offtopic: is there an official CM 7 for SG ACE ?

intopic: not a gamer but i can play most of the casual games (cut the rope and such) really smoothly even in stock rom. battery does suffer a bit

Very hurting and a sad feeling to write this but Ace is gettin old with age, Get your Friend an Ace Plus or sme other phone like the SE Neo V or RAy.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] scoffyburito:
Jeez ram isn't the main thing, I can play gta3 with 512 mb well but its more the gpu+cpu. Hummingbird SOC is really quite quick for a cheap price these days
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
whats even sadder is I only brought mine in january and the place I got it from is still selling it new. They havent replaced it with either ace plus or ace 2.

The phone isnt exactly old but more the problem smartphones are very fast paced in evolving technology so even a year old phone is considered obselete, something I didnt know when buying my ace.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jleonnn:
Yeah. I'd say get an Xperia Ray for the same price range. Or If you're willing to go a bit higher the Xperia Arc S isn't bad either. Of course, if your friend has the money he get can the high end ones haha
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] syed.sayeed96:
U want ram? Get an s3...

Meh, only a gig
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
I'm still bent on getting it and not the One S because of Micro Arc Oxidation

This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
ok guys I will explain lag issues and tell me if you can if you think its a lack of ram causing them.

eg. if I open gosms, usually the first time its slow to load contacts and then slow again to load sms messages, if I then exit out the app and go back in again its noticebly faster, which seems to suggest the 2nd time its cached in ram for faster loading. But then if something else happens such as a phone call it can be laggy again as if the OS has had to flush the cache due to low ram.

Sometimes I can get lag on phone calls, so the phone rings, but the ringign screen is slow to appear due to phone lag, I assume as its loading instead of been cached in ram because if I get another phone call after as long as I havent used the phone for other stuff it doesnt lag the call screen (this lag can be excessive like 5+ seconds at times).

My free ram is usually around 70-80meg mark. When I have in the past enabled ram tweaks it would end up force closing apps I am using which isnt good so I have had to disable them again.

I have rooted an evo 4g, a droid x, and 2 galaxy nexus' and i've never had this much trouble. I installed AOKP and gapps via TWRP and sometimes the device just wont boot. I hit the power button and it flashes green and does nothing. Sometimes if i plug it into my PC and hit the power button the option to hit power to bring up recovery comes up, and I just sit there not knowing where to go next. What should I do? KFU says it's boot status is 4000 and just hangs at activated fastboot.

edit - didnt realize this version of twrp allowed usb mounting, all is good.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kt0ce:
Hi friend. These ics rom use kernel 3.0.. If you shut down, hold the power button for 30 seconds until it fully power down... After you see the screen completely dark, then press the power button again, it will turn on. At least that my experience from the first time use ics on kindle fire. Hope that help.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patass:
well, theres a new problem now. I turn it on and it just shows the kindle fire splash with an android above it. if I plug it in, it turns on instantly. KFU isnt reading it as anything but windows sees it as android adb interface. doing adb reboot fastboot says device not found. adb devices shows no devices.

I bought up KFU and installed firefirefire though that interface, then switched to cmd prompt and manually used fastboot flash recovery twrp.img after cd'ing android platform tools and putting that latest twrp downloaded from their site in that folder (platform tools)

this happened when using fastboot flash recovery twrp.img in command prompt. It was in this screen while flashing. I did this because KFU wasnt flashing the latest version.

So yup...

edit - this is now fixed. Back to my original problem however.

I install AOKP and Gapps, but after the recovery ! screen it just blacks out. no boot animation or anything. I can get back into recovery and flash back to stock, but, ya know. I want AOKP. What's going on? Yes I am wiping everything.

Sorry wish I could help but this is way over my head....I hope someone else with knowledge will come along and help you...Good Luck!

No offense but I would not steer him anywhere near cm7 for now he seems to be very new to all this and is just gonna run into problems. It one thing to be able to read directions but you need some knowledge to go along with it. I flashed cm7 and was hesitant to do so because of elaborate steps but it was successful. This rom is not ready enough for me yet. I even had a hard time reverting back to SCOM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chris31jct:
I agree with anoymonos. This guy is a noob and all over the place. Needs guidance to a wiki or read through many threads. Second questions in the same day requesting stuff that has answers, this is no good for development threads... wait until he gets 10 posts. LOL

@android_isda_****

You need to read man. Get to know everything and try to keep up to what's been going on. There are many guides around, mostly in the General Section that can help you with that. Althought the Bible isn't too explanatory, there is an Outline of what has been developed. There other just hang out in the development section and read, read, read, read... until your eyes burn. Just an advice.

Hi android isda something

I didn't quite understand what phone you're using SGS4G/SGS2...

Anyway, if you do use SGS4G - flash any 2.3.6 ROM and flash my signature link RTL support.

This will give you Arabic support.

Regarding full UI Arabic ROM, I wrote a guide on cteating your own localized ROM, but you need to read a lot before you're there. I suggest asking the help of more experienced SGS4G Arabic speakers.

I think MIUI also has language packs but it will take months before these will apply.

SGS2 LTE GT-I9210

The reason why im writing this is because i was to ignorant and hasty.

By starting of i followed a thread on a swedish forum on how to get my phone rooted, first of it worked as expected.

After a while i updated my android to a newer version, and yesturday i found out that my root had stop working, so i gave it a second shot, i followed the same tutorial.

After that my home & back buttons stopped working, and then i saw in the same thread that alot of people have encountered the same problem.

I have looked around and it seems like a way to get the keys to work is to install a older version of SlickMod, when i do my keys work, but this system does not support a swedish keyboard layout.

I was stupid and did not backup my phone before i tried rooting it.

I want to ask is there a way to restore my phone without having its standard backup, or atleast getting it to work propperly (without any fancy mod)?

For now i can only enter odinmode.

Procedure to successfull solve softkeys issues with GT-i9210 !

Hello,

Based on GT-i9210T procedure that does not work properly on GT-i9210, I tryed some alternative procedure and I successfull retrieve all of my soft keys fonctionnalities.

We have to note that today, there are no CWM recovery for GT-i9210. CWM 5.0.2.6 or 5.8.1.3 (touch) are dedicated to hercules (i9210T) and not to Celox (i9210). Flash Celox with hercules CWM recovery causes soft keys issues !

So this is my procedure based on sc0ttf procedure, which was dedicated to GT-i9210T (and not GT-i9210) (http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1593061.html)

1st of August 2012

WARNING: do this at your own risk!

Assuming you've got CW5.8.1.3 (CWM v5.0.2.6 do not work on GT-i9210) on your I9210 and a most recent backup zip on your SD (doesn't have to be pre-superuser i.e. your first ever back-up)

1. Copy your back-up file from SD to your computer (just in case)

2. Install ICS Megamix EXACTLY THE WAY IT TELLS YOU TO (MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL DARKSIDE SUPERWIPE)

Install ICSMegamixS3v2.zip - http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1576924

DARKSIDE SUPERWIPE - http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1477955

NOTE : After installation :

* Wipe Data

* Wipe Cache

(Only !)

As you reboot, you will notice it (ICS) being unstable and unable to make calls.

NOTE : for me (i9210 Celox), no problem to dial following code

3. Now press *#*#2663#*#* and confirm Phone's Touch is 0x9 and Part's Touch is 0x0. If this is so, now press Touch Key FW Update which will upgrade your Part's to 0x9

3 bis (added by me) : do the same with *#*#86824#*#*

NOTE : for me, the version was v0x11

4. Reboot

5. Now laugh as you see your phone having a psychotic episode. Your soft buttons should be lit up and your screen should be wacky (like you're repeatedly and continuously pressing the soft menu button). NOTE: although your buttons are lit up now (brought tears to my eyes), they are not working yet but are close to working

6. Now, reboot into CWM v5.8.1.3 => this was impossible for me !!!

=> NOTE : For me, CWM v5.8 was so unstable that it was impssible to performe remaining wipes. I decided to flash stock rom, hoping that i9210 will be back and more stable...

7. Stock Rom flash. Reboot : i9210 were so unstable that I forced it to stop.

8. Reboot on recovery mode, wipe data wipe several times...

H/W Key release is OK (v07) using *#*#2663#*#* et *#*#86824#*#*

9. Stop the GT-i9210 and remove battery 1 min

10. Reinsert battery and test

11 dial *2767*3855# => deep factory reset and reboot

12 : Every thing is OK

=> All is OK for me...

Hoping that tomorrow, everything will be OK* !

NOTE : yesterday I tryed the same procedure and I flashed CWM 5.1.8.3, I think it was the reason why this morning, soft keys were gone out...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] therethere:
i have the touch recovery installed on my i9210 (portuguese) and it's working nicely.

So you lost your soft keys, flashing ICS on i9210 right?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Philarmor22:
Yes, following the tutorial I post will cause your soft keys to reborn. Flashing ICS, following the procedure above and flashing back a firmware for GT-i9210 is the way to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] therethere:
well it's weird cause i only have the recovery 5.8.1.3 and my touch keys are just fine.
