Kinda urgent guys..

Hello Guys..

My bro has this phone & wanna flash 1st option from OP that is "Download FULL STOCK UCLE5 here. Stock UCLE5 with replacement kernel".

Now, when i was abt to flash it through odin but when i try to select that zip file on PDA..it doesn't appear..so that means its not tar file.

So guys, pls tell me how to flash it..?? Phone is NOT rooted & No CWM. Can i flash it in recovery without rooting..?? :silly:

Thanks in advance..:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
You MUST go to super noob guide for i777. MUST be flashed and rooted per guide you will see. "How to flash without incurring flash counter" .....Do NOT attempt or you will get flash alert counter. So read and do right in guide only. If you do not....and ask questions and we know you have not read noob section.... well put your flame retardant undies cause you will get flamed!:D

Man. Read. Laziness will not get u ANYWHERE in life. There are whole treads on what to do and how to do it. U MUST put in some kind of work to get what you want. Stop asking for hand outs. Look in the stickies.

Yes, am on Semi 17 with Siyah 4.3.1 No Mic Swap kernel. For a confirmation, attaching the SS

I don't know whats wrong with my S2, yes, its AT&T I777. Some of the basic features are not working for me. Previously the screen lock was not working, but no others are reporting the same. When I tried to flash other bases like GB, JB its working flawlessly but once I flash the ICS even on the stock ROM from AJ's link its not working:confused: I downloaded Holo locker from play store and solved it.

The lack of extended power menu was annoying me from the day one since I flashed Semi and till now I had a feeling that the feature is not added to this ROM. Now I realize that its there since the release which is not functional for me:mad::mad:

BTW, how to take the screen shot on Semi? I tried some combinations with power buttons like home/menu but to no avail. I am using a third party app for this which is not as easy as the extended power menu SS option which is not working for me:mad:

AJ, pls forgive me for annoying you for a feature which was already in the ROM, and I hope you understand that was not intentional spamming.

I guess my phone doesn't like ICS much, hence this as when ever I flash other bases its all working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
I know these may sound dumb but just to verify a few things without knowing what is going on, so someone can help you hopefully.

When switching between roms did you start FRESH with a FULL WIPE of Data/factory reset then I stall Semi?

Did you use Titanium Backup to restore any apps? Any settings? I ask because I have seen that on a rare occasion when reinstalling SOME apps via tibu it can transfer some system settings which can cause weird issues like this.

Have you tried a factory reset and install the ROM WITHOUT reinstalling any apps to make sure your issues above are there? I say this a little different than above because some apps you use may be conflicting with Semi's installation and settings.

Second what I personally do WHENEVER I am switching between different ROMs especially between different firmware bases is I redownload my apps one by one from the play store. Then I save them CIA tibu. So AS LONG as I am on that same base firmware I can restore those apps without issue. You said you have switched between GB, ICS, and JB so I am just trying to help narrow down where the issue is coming from for you. Let me/us know about my questions above and ANYTHING ELSE you can think of that MAY be causing the issues your having.

Next for taking screenshots you need to hold down the power and volume down button at the exact same time and hold for a second or two.

Thanks for the helping mind:good:

Yes, I can understand why u raised all these basic questions:good:

My I777 is an unlocked phone which I bought from Ebay.in and its working fine in all aspects except these small issues. It came with stock UCKH7 (2.3.4), Kernel 2.6.35.7 rooted with "Easy rooting toolkit (v4.0) by DooMLoRD" and later on updated to UCLE5 with creepncrawly's "Heimdall][Odin][Stock][Root]UCLE5 Stock ICS with Root". Straight from that Semi as my daily ROM till day:victory:

This is what I will do when I switch ROMs:

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache partition

Wipe dalvik cache

Kernel clearing script

wipe battery status

Fix permissions

Then only I will flash a new ROM, I believe am not missing anything.

No am not using TiBu for switching between ROMs as it can create issues between ROMs like u said earlier.

Yes, I did, with just the ROM itself (before installing any third party apps) its not locking the screen. Extended power menu options are not to be seen even that time.

Every flashing of new/old ROMs, right after the first reboot, I will set up the user settings like accounts, sound, display etc and reboot it once again before installing any apps. Oh yes, I will install Setcpu,calllog & SMS backup/restore before the reboot to be precise.

I don't have any issues with GB or JB ROMs till now, all are working fine for me except the not working list of functions with the JB ROMS like External_SD card issues. Just bcz JB ROMs are incomplete, am not using it not more than 1 day.

I feel its nothing to do with the apps I installed it, rather its something with my phone and the ICS ROM, just my wild guess:silly:

If u need more clarifications from my side, pls let me know it. Once again thanks for extending ur valuable time for the query.

Thanks for sharing the SS tip, which I was dying for that:good: It worked the way u said.

Have you tried re downloading?

Bleh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Caliesv:
Yeah, try a fresh EVERYTHING. fresh download, install, wipe. Maybe there was a hickup somewhere. Good luck man.

(⊙＿⊙)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
+1 on a redownload. Then MAKE SURE the md5 matches exactly. I have had downloads (and uploads for that matter) that had the EXACT size of the file bit still would not flash correctly. Checked the md5 and some of the digits/ letters were different.

To check md5 see what it says in the OP. Then go to where you have the downloaded file and check its md5. I use root explorer and long press on the .zip file and choose PROPERTIES. Hope you figure it out.

Guys...

I'm noob..but not that much..I use Galaxy SL & i do play with my phone..:) This, SGS2 at&t my elder bro uses..& he's don't play with it like we do..his phone's was not giving good battery backup so i asked him to change the kernel..then i browsed into this forum & got this plain ROM with replacement of the kernel that too siyah's..!! but in OP there were no installation instructions so i asked here after searching for abt 1-2 hours..thinking that someone might help me..as i didn't continuously followed this phone's forum but was wrong..:( & then with no replies to my queries i rooted his phone & was trying to flash what i wanted to from OP but was getting this error View attachment 1409441 (see the attachment).:confused: Then at last i flashed SlimBean successfully with no prob..:)

Anyways Sorry for my noob questions guys..!!:o Thank you..Cheers.:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sajjt:
Yes, tried a fresh download of official UCLE5 as well as Semi 17, both are showing the same results in screen lock. On fresh Semi installation there's no extended power menu and if I keep the power button for 2 secs it shuts down without any confirmation. There's no issues with GB/JB ROMs, its working perfectly to my observation.

Now my phone has no other third party apps except the bundled with the ROM. BTW, OP says its a de-bloated ROM whereas on installation AT&T apps are loading at the time of installation.

Any other point I've to check for this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] highaltitude:
Are people having blue tooth problems with the current kernel and semi17? Mine seemed to be working, but I have this same ROM on my wifes phone and she said it kept disconnecting from the car and then dropping the call.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
I would highly recommend kernel v3.3.3d which is available in the OP.

That kernel has zero issues.

The current Siyah kernels have quite a few issues unfortunately. Some of these issues will be addressed in the next version of Semi.

I hope to get back to work on Semi 18 as soon as I reach the point in my recovery where I can stay awake for a few hours at a time.

BIG THANKS to everyone for their kind words of support during this difficult time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
Wow how did this not get any notice before?!?!

Will be nice to play around with a bit.

I guess 4.0.4 at this point would not get a very warm reception. We need 4.1.x!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pmac25:
I believe that 4.0.4 has NFC and Isis turned on.

Weird thing is the modem.bin in this version shows a build date of Nov. 29th 2011 and only 12. mb and the older one shows a build date of Dec. 08 2011 and 16.mb. So besides Samfirmware labeling it wrong it was also probably from a leaked version?

Ah man what a c*ck tease.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sajjt:
Thanks once again, just now I saw ur reply.

I always verify the MD5 before flashing a new ROM as I had a bitter experience with my old Samsung G3. I use WinMD5 for the MD5 verification (where we can paste the MD5 from the source link and the software will verify it.) and it matches with the OP.

I strongly believe that its nothing to do with the ROM flashing issues but with the phone. I've tried the Stock ROM from the OP as well as the creepncrawly's link for the pure stock ROM and all are showing the same result on the screen lock.

Is there any other hard reset other than the factory wipe from recovery?

I need a fully functional ROM with all current updates and thatz why I am sticking to this ROM. Am yet to find another ROM with similar features and flexibilities. Any suggestions?

I looked through the thread but didnt see, does anyone have an extended power menu for the Debloated version?

And wanted to thank AJ. Sold my Skyrocket and got 2 I777's , always had problems deodexing ICS for some reason. Thanks AJ for making things easy on me :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xpakage:
I am running the debloated version and is has an extended power menu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pahick:
You must be using Semi? The debloated I dl'd doesnt have an extended menu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xpakage:
You are correct. I am running Semi and using the debloated version when installing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
Did you download Semi? If so which version? If not then WHAT debloated did you download? All of AJs and the themed versions I made have the extended power menu. AJ added that into this ROM a long time ago. I built the themed/colored versions from it. So I know AJs has it.

So where did you download it from? If you did download it from this thread then double check the md5 you downloaded compared to AJs md5. It is possible you got a SLIGHTLY mis-matched download.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pahick:
I downloaded from OP....the middle one...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
The "middle one" does plainly state that it is debloated stock with a replaced kernel. Stock does not include any extended power menu type things.

You need to install Semi to get that menu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pahick:
Thanks AJ. I realized that, but had to explain for those that questioned my post. I had asked if anyone had a mod for Stock debloated, as I have ahd trouble before with ICS. Im in the middle of removing the clock and carrier, and then ill just give it a shot again. Appreciate the reply.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hednik:
Having a few issues on my sons phone with the "voltage too high, charging paused" error lately so I am thinking of going back to stock for him and clearing out the flash counter and doing a warranty. It seems like it could be caused my a multitude of things from dirty USB port ICS itself. I wanted to ask, as I haven't found anything searching, is this bug or error people have seen with this stock release ? The "voltage to high" error is becoming more prevalent and now I can't even power his phone off without it just booting backup again. Pain enough to get into CMW.

Can I reset the flash counter on this release or just go back and use creepyncrawly's guide to use the stock odin release then use a USB jig. Thanks for you help !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jack man:
Regarding the voltage issue, the only time I have experience a voltage message is when I have the phone plugged in in the car (with Bluetooth connected). Then if I turn of the car with it still plugged in I get a voltage message. Can't remember what exactly it said because it's been a while since I was in that situation.

Also, to get back to stock I would just flash 2.3.4 then update using KIES if you can. Careful... doing a factory reset with stock kernel in could result in phone brick.

edit: also, with the issue plugged in in the car, I am using a verizon plug from my wife's work phone, but didn't think that would make a difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hednik:
It does the error when not even plugged in on this ROM and I can't even turn off the phone with out it booting back up. Basically pull battery and it just boot back up.

So using the one-click to get back to stock can brick his phone ? Not sure what the best option would be then. Flash 2.3.6 w/ root then go back and manually remove root from the system folder ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jack man:
No, the 2.3.4 one-click is safe to use. It's when you get back to the stock UCLE5 from KIES then you don't want to do a factory reset. The stock UCLE5 may have a brick bug that is activated when you do a factory reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hednik:
I've just found the one for 2.3.5 or 2.3.6. Going to get a jig and reset the counter and just flash back to 2.3.5 and then remove root I guess
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jack man:
If you're planning on using KIES to got back to stock ICS then I'm not sure it will work if you go to 2.3.5 first. As far as I know, 2.3.5 was never an official release so KIES may not recognize it. I've always used step 2a from this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1313659

It will get you to 2.3.4 UCKH7, then KIES will recognize it. (plus, there's no bootloaders in it).

Then go to step 4 to to do a reset and remove everything from the phone to make it look "out of the box."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hednik:
I kept searching and it kept telling me UCKH7 was 2.3.5 so maybe it is 2.3.4. Thanks for that ! Benn looking at that walkthrough but had a few hangups seeing how as I am on ICS. I didn't want to use kies. I was actually going to go back to stock and then go back and root using the mobile odin method to avoid the flash counter and install SHOstock. So I guess I just had some bad luck with this release on his phone. I'll use triangle away and then flash from step 2a and then do a factory reset. Seems like my best plan of action. Now just to find a GB kernel to flash when I get back on GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jack man:
This link you will find the ODIN one-click that has a rooted version of stock 2.3.4 UCKH7. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18859438&postcount=199

CWM recovery is not in it though. here's a link to the kernel I use with GB when I need CWM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1285823

Question that has been asked and answered a million times in 3........2........

Where can I get the mms? Apk that has the black background?

I would be greatly thankful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] c0ldburn3r:
Could just pull it from shostock or mystic.

If not I have shostocks SMS app that's modded slightly to be a mix of his and unnammed roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bdpyo:
All I want is a compatible apk that will work with the full rom version, the white background makes my eyes bleed.

I'm assuming I would have to pull the apk from a ucle5 rom?

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

I snagged the one from shoshock. :thumbup:

Thanks for the insight. ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] raduque:
Is anybody else seeing issues with the modem crashing (which is what I assume is happening)? I've wiped everything and reflashed a couple times but the issue persists.

I've never been at a computer when it happens either, so I have no idea what's going on in logcat. The signal indicator goes to a circle with a line through it, in "Status" the Network, Network Type and Service state fields all say "Unknown". Toggling Airplane mode on/off has fixed it once, but now I have to reboot every time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
I do. Drops calls. I changed modems and kernels and even did full wipe and reflash without tibu. Still drops and lost network.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jack man:
was curious how this mms.apk worked out for you. I want to put one on mine that has a black background, too. In the earlier versions of SEMI that AJ released he tried a different mms but it always caused problems: the tone set in the mms settings would switch back to the default tone on a reboot. I got the Shostock one earlier and tried again tonight but still get the same issue. Anyone out there have a black background mms apk that works without issues?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
AJ.... how you feeling? Hope all good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bdpyo:
It worked good for me, used root explorer to basically extract mms.apk from shoshock to overwrite mms.apk within this rom.

I haven't noticed any problems and I'm almost 100% sure I did it the lazy way.

Meaning I didn't make a backup of existing mms.apk like you're supposed to do...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Just grab it out of the original rom zip if you need it for some reason.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jack man:
I grabbed the one out of ShoStock as well (version 2 ICS). I really like how it looks but since I need different tones I can't use it since it switches back to the default system tone on a reboot. The process I have used to put it in is I've just used Root Explorer to drop it into the system/app folder after moving the stock mms.apk out, changed the permissions on the new mms.apk then reboot. Am i missing anything? I can get messages just fine but the whole tone switching is really driving me crazy. I've tried mms.apks from ShoStock2, Ultimatum2.2, Phone Bricker, and one other one I think and cannot get any to work without the text tone switching to default after reboot.

Please tell me I'm overlooking something so I can get this to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] raduque:
Damned peculiar. I didn't notice these problems till I started running the Siyah v4.x kernels. I'm going to try switching back to 3.3.3d. Which kernels did you try?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
This is an issue I have noticed as well. I concluded that it was an ICS problem. I tried several different ICS roms and the issue persists regardless of what modem I use (or modem/RIL pairings). It also occurs in considerably strong signal strength areas.

On Gingerbread, I have no such issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
That should fix it.

3.3.3d is the best ICS kernel IMHO.

At least for the time being :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Anyone got a link? I could not find.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
Here you go - v3.3.3d.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
These issues were not present in pre-4.x kernels.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
Small update posted:

Semi v18

Back to my Siyah 3.3.3d kernel

Updated apps

New Semi-inverted MMS.apk

Disabled camera sounds

other changes I forgot to write down...

Download here.

v3.3.3d is THE kernel to use for ICS. A lot of issues (connection issues, "Bluetooth" issues, etc etc) were introduced in the 4.x series of kernels, and frankly none of the changes are needed at all for ICS ROM's. I will leave the kernel alone until an AT&T JB is released for our phone and will continue with a 5.x kernel at that time. BTW - the v5 kernel from Gokhanmoral is shaping up to be a GREAT one.

Try the following settings in ExTweaks:

CPU Tab:

SMOOTH SCALING LEVEL = 800

CPU STEP COUNT = 5

DEFAULT CPU GOVERNOR = PegasusQ (OR Conservative depending on your preference)

GPU Tab:

GPU FREQ STEP1 = 40mhz

GPU FREQ STEP2 = 166mhz

GPU FREQ STEP3 = 267mhz

GPU VOLTAGE LEVEL 1 = 800mv

GPU VOLTAGE LEVEL 2 = 850mv

GPU VOLTAGE LEVEL 3 = 950mv

GPU THRESHOLD 1-Up = 85

GPU THRESHOLD 2-Down = 20

GPU THRESHOLD 2-Up = 85

GPU THRESHOLD 3-Down

Screen Tab:

GAMMA SHIFT = -5

MISC Tab:

UNCHECK Android Logger

DEFAULT I/O SCHEDULER = SIO

CHECK Exclusive Wakelock Stats

UNCHECK Auto-Install Root

From this point on, kernels will be supplied in the ROM only.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I'm getting the same issue with the message tones resetting to default after a reboot. I don't know if it's me or what, but I've tinkered with it for quite a while this afternoon, even starting fresh and trying different mms from different roms, and also trying different kernels. No worries though. this is a small issue.
