[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaeilge:
1. although your phone should work correctly you may encounter some problems with language or apps which are usually included in ROM's CSC file and of course you won't be able to get any FOTA/Kies update if you'd like to use it (but anyway, try to stick to Odin).

2. I suppose you won't find any ROM with USA product codes as galaxy s II international version is not officially sold there (according to my knowledge). if you want to install some other region ROM go ahead - just make sure that ROM was released for your particular device (check the model name on the sticker under battery). do not use ROMs released for other i9100 model (e.g. do not use i9100 ROM for i9100G phone).

3. after flashing fresh ROM, especially going from GB to ICS ROM, it's always advised to do full wipe. you may use code *2767*3855# but remember, it will wipe all your data. this way you will get the phone with clean ICS ROM (almost like it would be bought with it).

4. after flashing check your CSC again. in European ROMs you get some apps placed in CSC file like vlingo voice commands, polaris office, samsung photo editor or samsung adjusted swype version (which is quite better than officially available beta). of your CSC is still unknown you may use ROM file again and flash it via Odin as CSC (not PDA). it should fix the problem.

5. to get FOTA/Kies updates you will have to set your product code accordingly to region your ROM was released for.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
Csc doesn't have any languages, csc do have specific apps, but if you don't have csc they didn't get installed so there can't be any non functioning apps/ problems with the apps.

Most of the unbranded roms have virtually empty csc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaeilge:
i think it's a misunderstanding and i apoligize if i caused it.

of course you're right that in csc file are no languages but with improper csc he may have simple alphabet problem - like known qwertz issue. it is caused by unknown csc - isn't it right?

the same, he may have problems with apps usually included in csc file:

1. if they're not installed he won't have problem unless he expected them to be installed... some apps, like samsung's swype version, are quite welcomed.

2. "CSC: unknown" doesn't necessarily mean that CSC file wasn't installed. i've personally seen plenty of phones with "csc: unknown" issue but csc related apps installed and not working (especially vlingo). actually i've seen only one phone with this issue and csc related apps missing.

3. i used plenty of unbranded ROMs (actually no other i use) for different European regions and haven't seen any virtually empty csc file - of course i do not deny that some of them are. in all CSC files i've noticed:

vlingo, skype, photo editor, polaris, samsung instant messaging, kies air and some wallpapers. they are all placed in CSC part of the ROM.

anyway, i just wouldn't like to misguide our friend, and perhaps most important information for him is that he's phone will work fine without it and he may use whichever ROM he likes as long as it is released for his particular device.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
here a video i made specially for you :p

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7ST1GGKTJw

Flashed JPLPC using Odin, selected just the PDA and Bootloader, skipping modem and CSC.

everything works including swype and stuff.

CSC only have what and when the specific region/carrier requires some promo apps, wallpapers, maps and stuff. in some cases people say their apn is also installed by csc, not 100% sure on that as iv never ever manually added apns.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaeilge:
i think you don't get anything of what i'm saying and the best part is that more less we agree. but tell me, do you really believe that if you flash just pda and bootloader than your csc is suddenly gone? was modem too if you didn't flash it? c'mon, you know you keep it from the previous ROM. it's not a vital part of ROM anyway. the same you may flash modem only and what - is your kernel gone? no, you're just replacing the parts you're flashing. or maybe you totally wiped your phone leaving just bootloader in it's memory? and at the end - i've no idea which of lpc you downloaded but maybe all this apps are in your rom and not a csc file (just like you said before - maybe your regional csc files are mostly virtually empty)?

don't you see that all we both say is possible to happen? what you're trying to convince me to? can't you understand that this story has more sides than just yours?

and at the end, i said: if you have "CSC: unknown" you MAY encounter language/alphabet problem. you MAY have csc-related apps problem. c'mon, read an understand. I've seen enough of phones with it. not installing csc, csc: unknown, csc-related missing apps - all these are different things.

and questions were:

"but any post I find indicates things won't work if you don't have a CSC set, which mine doesn't and everything works fine."

yes, do not it may work completely fine.

"So does this mean this device would work with just about any English ROM?"

yes as long as it is ROM for this device.

why complicating and confusing other people. i'm giving up this because it makes no sense.

p.s. thanks for the effort making the video
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
Lol that's too much to read buddy!

And was not arguing or wanted to make people confuse, it was made just to give you answer.

And yes you are mostly correct.

Don't get modem into it, I just told what I did.

that video had every thing that I do not wanted to type that now I am.

Example you said Swype.

there is no need to go on this thing any more.

PS that ROM I used is separate files, for each modem, ROM, csc, boot loader

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] M9x3mos:
Hello all,

Was just wondering input from you guys.

I just picked up one of these thru amazon to use up some money on gift cards.

Just got it delivered today and noticed that in the upper right hand corner of the tab there is screen bleed from it.

When I apply a little pressure to that corner of the screen like holding it with one hand and balancing with my thumb just of the screen there it causes blink on the screen like backlight going up higher and back down or that there are horizontal lines.

If I press lightly anywhere else on the screen I don't see the problem only in the black above the the bleed in upper right corner.

Anyone else have this problem or did I just get a bad unit.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] M9x3mos:
Well I guess we will see what happens with the next one.

Have Amazon.com shipping a replacement unit.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] M9x3mos:

Has no one else seen this apparently?

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_prince:
Hi everyone,

I recently have bought a Defy for me. I had it with official Froyo BLUR so I rooted it, installed 2ndInit, recovery and then CM7.2.0 Stable.

The trouble with me now is while playing games I am experiencing jitter/lag or sudden hicups. I have watched videos of people playing those games more than smooth on their MB525s.

Can some of you experienced flashers give me feedback on which rom is good with Battery life + 3D Acceleration? I am finding CM7.2.0 disappointing for this case.

Thank you for your time.

Sometimes these people over-clock their CPUs to high (which is something not safe at all) I'm over-clocked to 1.1 Ghz (defy plus) and very stable smooth.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sartheris:
Hey all.

I've been having this problem recently with my X10 Mini (E10i the old one)

It first started when I left it to charge in the car for like 1 hour, it was somehow heated up, and when I plugged it off and tried to make a call - it turned off... Didn't minded it then, thought it was some kind of "defense mechanism"

But after that it started randomly to turns off when making call (with MiniCM7) and when taking photos with the Flash ON on low battery.

I reinstalled it to the stock 2.1 rom and I still get the turn off when taking pics with low battery.........

Anyone have any idea?

Hi iam using minicm9 .

Hello,

After installing bigxies ota jelly bean, I love it everything runs fine, I got a new nexus today and installed everything on that aswell, I was having some screen issues and had to call samsung and i went to give them my IMEI from my phone and it was not a valid IMEI, totally different from the one on the box, which was the correct one, I didn't bother looking when I was stock, but can anyone else attest to this? that something goes wonky with what google displays as the IMEI number in these pre jellybean roms we have?

FYI the IMEI should start with a 35
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dice62:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:

Hmmm.. very weird, backing up and than going to load stock everything. She also noted that it read my purchase date was not the day i purchased and in face it was last month, something seems fishy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] penskyc:
I just used Nexus toolkit to go back to factory stock rom, it now has the correct IMEI number.. It just dawned on me what could have been the problem. This was a nandroid from my original galaxy nexus, so by restoring it to my new galaxy nexus, maybe that messed some things up? Either way, looks like i will be starting from scratch and not be restoring from that nandroid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
Sounds like the issue with the Docomo phones..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] penskyc:

If you have generic IMEI 0049... simply execute the following actions:

1. switch GN to airplane mode

2. del 2 files nv_data.bin + nv_data.bin.md5 from /data/radio/

3. copy 1 file nv_data.bin from /factory/ to /data/radio/

4. change permission & owner execute 2 commands:

Code:

chmod 700 /factory/nv_data.bin

chown radio.radio /factory/nv_data.bin

chmod 700 /data/radio/nv_data.bin

chown radio.radio /data/radio/nv_data.bin

5. reboot phone & switch off airplane mode.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Namidairo:
Whoever unlocked your phone... did it wrong.

They didn't fix up the copy in the efs partition properly (ie. they didn't update the md5), thus when you deleted the one in /factory (likely when you factory reset in CWM), it fell back to the efs which was invalid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] penskyc:
Well I bought my phone unlocked already fromm google, does that mean google unlocked it wrong? lol.. Im sure I did something along the process, like I said using a nandroid from a different nexus to restore on this nexus maybe? anywho, I did the fix I mentioned some posts back and it works fine. Also worked fine when I did a fresh install of JB as opposed to restoring this particular nandroid. my IMEI was good from the start only with this particular one was it wrong.

G'day - I have a similar IMEI problem.

I have a gnex from Vodafone Australia. I have rung them 6x on separate occasions to enquire about my IMEI unlock code, so I can use the phone with another carrier. The IMEI unlock code does not work (it says it is invalid).

-Vodafone suggested I post Ph back to them and it could take several weeks. (ridiculous!)

Ps - I have gone between ice cream sandwich and jelly bean a few times using a combo of OTAs, WUGs nexus toolkit, and ODIN. (I don't know if that has something to do with it).

Also I have read about a possible fix called **** DoCoMo v3, but I am not confident using it as it's thread is full of people who have ended up with phones that do not connect to any network. The instructions aren't very clear, however, and I'm not sure if I should try it (and if so whether it will work with rooted 4.2.2, or whether I should revert to 4.0.4?)

Man, either try the DoCoMo v3 or don't try it, no one can take that risk for you. Either way, create your own thread or post in the DoCoMo thread, don't necrobump threads (this one is almost a year old), especially since they are not the same issue. Other people here lost their IMEI, you want to sim unlock.

There's at least one thread that's about these kind of issues and with a lot more to go on.

Boot a custom recovery and remount /factory rw. Should work then, as well as it will be safer than doing it from Android (airplane more and all). Create a new thread please if you still need to.

Reported this thread for closing.

Problem solved safely in under 30 secs with an inexpensive app on the Play store called GalaxySimUnlock.

Has unlocked the IMEI, without changing it, and has survived multiple custom roms, and Sims from a variety of carrier's.

I suggest anyone curious about it, read other Play store comments for your phone make. The dev is responsive too if you have questions.
