Things got worse...

When I saw that CM12.1 is available for this phone - with all the myriad security patches since Gingerbread - I made a Nandroid backup and installed the latest version of cm.

"No SIM"!

I tried out the other two versions of cm 12.1 I could find - "No SIM"!

So, with a sigh, I restored my Nandroid backup - and got into a boot loop!

I am currently downloading a stock ROM from Sammobile, but would really hate to have to reinstall Kies on my PC.

Are there any other CustomROMs still available for the Ace2/GT-I8160 that I simply haven't found?

Regards,

Jochen

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOLVED:

Further reading showed that I only needed to install Kies for the Samsung drivers and could then uninstall it again; Odin worked very well to bring my Ace2 up from Gingerbread to Jellybean (I think - 4.1.2, anyhow)

Now I'll root again, and leave the CustomROMs for this device alone.

GT-i8160 EFS rebuild

Hi, Can anyone help me rebuild my EFS partition to fix overwritten IMEI [BLANK] basband [UNKNOWN]

I have tried Many methods all that have failed.

Currently running LOS 15.1 Oreo8.1 Ace II GT-I8160

I have tried *#XXXX# code method, Flash EFS methods and App method all dont work for one or another reason

My main option now is to look for Full Stock rom with repart and format. Even the method for that does not work re downgrade.

any ideas?

Two launchers I've kept so far are...

1) espier launcher (Iphone interface) which is fast but an update just made it a little annoying.

2) launcher 7 (windows phone 7 interface) which is also pretty fast.

I switch between them with home switcher.

I can activate NFC, but i cant test it, without NFC-Tags.

Prox sensor awake

Hi all,

I've noticed a strange issue with my SGA-2.

Even in locked condition, the Screen goes on if I touch the prox sensor.

And there's a very dim LED that's continuously lighted, behind the prox sensor.

I have to be in a dark room at night to see it.

I thought it's due to "Brightness Rocker lite" that I'm using. But the issue remains even after un-install and re-boot.

Does anybody else have this issue?
[Galaxy Ace II General] oschmidt0:
No, only Modules from Stock-Kernel, Custom-Kernel with NFC-Support and cwm-recovery from "antsm".

MODEM

Hi there, I have a question.

Can I flash the radio part of a ROM (for example the XXLD8 Germany or Poland) on my H3G Italy ROM (with PDA: NELG2), for improve reception?

Should I take the file "modem.bin.md5" which is located in ". Tar.md5"?

How do I flash it? As MODEM or PDA in Odin?

Will the "bin count" increase with this operation?

Any risk of brick?

Thank you very much.

Agreed, having to go to Settings/Wifi&Network each and every time you want to connect in mass storage mode is just crap.

Got a screwed up app install that the support people say I need to get into safe mode to rectify, however I can't find instructions on how to do that anywher, only for the original ace.

Any help appreciated, as trying to fix the apps mess is getting to be tedious now.

Ask on forum request. S Advance is more popular here... People still buying old Aces and new one is not advertised.

It's new. Xperias need bootloader unlock, you have to send them to Sony for flashing and root. Xperia U is cheaper than Ace 2. I come from blade too. Chinese phones have many roms.

There are 3 ROMs for S advance, they could easy be ported to sga2

- The CalendarProvider.apk don't work , i changed it with the original

- Don't write 4.04 in the version , write the real one.

- The camera is not good , i prefer the original..

Thanks you very much , your ROM is very good , and the most important , is the first one in SGA2 working with the European baseband.
