Could you doing wipe?

After installing and before reboot i think you must do 3 wipes for this ROM.

from which ROM?

With what kernel?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supermult:
try download mode..

or pressing volume down and connecting it to pc at the same time.. (you´ll end up in download mode or your phone is pretty dead)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aviz06:
from a stock rom with Kernel_I9100XWLPT insecure then i wrote the custom rom and then put the original kernel back on to get rid of the yellow exclamation mark rebooted then nothing!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
That was the problem.

Your kernel has brick bug, it's being said 1 million times but you did not read it or ask questions before messing around with your device.

I'm afraid your device may be hard bricked.

I'm sorry.

Let's see what can be done.

ok m8 thanks for the info, but because the phone is only 4mths old i have requested a service repair with samsung so im gonna send it off tomoz to get sorted.. is their a way samsung can find out if i been messing with it or will they just flash with stock firmware anyways once they can get it to boot? or will they just replace the board? Thanks. Mick.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrbanDesigns:
If it's hard bricked there is nothing us users can do to get the phone back but I'd imagine it wouldn't be too hard for Samsung to realize what you've done

Good luck :good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aviz06:
Hopefully they should repair.. Thats the only option i have left.. Stupid me i only just bought it as well! :o

i'll keep u updated and let u know if it was repaired? i here a few peeps get similar probs when trying to update to custom firmware's and samsung do repair and send them back to their customers..:fingers-crossed:

I hope you will have your phone working again dude, and I want to ask a question to Jokesy, is there a brickbug or something bad about XWLP7 ? Because if I turn back to stock rooted SGS2 , i will use XWLP7.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
No, there is no brick bug on XWLP7

Now were/what is the best way to root my S2 without doing this again? or is it best just to leave it as is?..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
And people say Samsung has a bad customer service, Samsung FTW

The easiest way to Root your phone is probably the Chainfire Root, which you can find here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

It`s very important that you read the instructions there on how to Root your phone.

It´s a great method because it gives you Root and Clockworkmod in one package and you will keep your stock Kernel.

After that you can install any Rom or Kernel you want but it`s highly recomended to not install any Kernel with the Hard Brick Bug. Read this thread for more information:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1756242

If you really want to remove the triangle there is a mod from chainfire, called TriangleAway: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494114

but I would recommend not to do it, since people also managed to screw that up (bricking their phone), I mean is it really so disturbing to see the Triangle for 2 seconds everytime you reboot?

Good Luck
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] the-Mike_D:
Just like the title says. I'm looking for a way to let the screen stay off even when the power cord is plugged or unplugged. I'm guessing it's probably a simple edit or a config file or something. Oh, question is based on a touchwiz rom, not cm or anything like that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Crisisx1:
Out of curiosity, why do you want to do that? Does it bother you
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] the-Mike_D:
Yup it does. I have no lock screen for convenience and a 1 minute time out. So it stays on and is apt to clicking buttons every time which is an annoyance.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rude53:
Hi,

I need some help. I am an XDA lurker and have learned a ton. I am mostly aware of the usual fixes for these things, but I can not return to any other ROM than a CM10. CM10 data and camera are not working great, even though I LOVE this ROM and LOVE these developers, I can't use it yet.

Firtst, my backups are gone, I know, I know. But they are gone. I tried flashing NoSympothy and invisibleK,s stock ROMs but I get frozen at the Galaxy SIII screen everytime.I have tried all the usual system wiping drills, cache, data, etc... Formatted everything. I have downloaded from multiple sources. It seems like it doesn't like ICS now?

I am rooted and UNLOCKED! Woohoo, thanks Adam!!!!!

Any suggestions?

Recoverys to CM10 work. New flashes to CM10 work. But no stock image or stock rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adclem:
You have to flash the stock kernel as well as the ROM. Try flashing the Synergy latest nightly build it includes a custom kernel as long as your bootloader is unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rude53:
Thanks,

I had a feeling it was something with the kernel. I wasn't sure what was included though. I think I tried to get synergy from here on my phone and it just kept opening new windows instead of downloading. I will grab the just the kernel from somewhere and let you know. I'll update in an hour or so. Thanks for the next few steps to try. Much appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rude53:
That was it THANKS!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TechSavvy2:
Stock ROMs include the stock kernel. They will work as a one flash wonder. Your issue more sounds recovery based. Which recovery from which app were you using? It more sounds lime maybe you're still on a kexec recovery which is why you couldn't flash stock but synergy latest worked (or something of the sort, maybe other way around)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
Ok, so the ongoing "on my third replacement" discussions baffle me. Personal experience is nothing but good - bought VZW GNex at launch, upgraded wife's Fascinate a few months ago to a GNex (only 1 sort of valid issue, but not worth a return), and still loving the device. [Side note - not loving Verizon's delay in rolling out JB]

Popular issues that makes folks say this phone is crap:

1. My signal is weak. Welll...check your local network, and try a signal in the open air. Problems inside your home or at work? It's called a building folks, and those wall thingies? Yeah, they tend to block radiowaves with all of that electric, water pipes, and insulation running through them. I had both Nexi side by side recently in the open air, and indeed hardware version 10 had a 6dB worse signal...until I set down my version 9 GNex, and moving the v.10 device 1 inch to the right suddenly shot the signal to a BETTER dB reading than the v.09. AIRWAVES - they move, and phones sitting side by side may have a different dB value simply because of AIRWAVES.

2. I can't hold a 4G signal. Check the threads and the Google issue trackers - it's regional, which implies that it's Verizon's issue, not the phone's.

3. Phone randomly reboots. Valid issue, but software related that was corrected with 4.0.4.

4. Screen has a purple tint. Somewhat valid (only complaint about wife's GNex), however appears software driven as increasing brightness to maximum cures the issue.

5. "I'm suddenly having [name the issue] problems. Oh by the way, I just flashed a custom ROM, didn't follow any directions on the XDA threads, and really didn't know what the heck I was doing." That's not a phone problem, that's a YOU problem.

5 examples, none actually related to bad hardware. The GNex is the best device I've ever owned and is a reliable performer. What many should do is lower their expectations - the Nexus is not the "perfect solution", but a Google Experience Device that gives the user the experience that Google intended without a bunch of manufacturer skins and carrier bloat ware. For those 2 reasons, the Galaxy Nexus is spectacular.

Discuss.

Phones are massed produced. There are bound to be some bad eggs. No device is 100% perfect. I get the frustration as its a pricey piece of equipment, but this is the harsh reality of things. I've had this phone for a week and I absolutely love it. Hell, my Nexus S was a bad egg and I'm glad I'm not using it anymore. And I have also noticed a lot of these network issues only seem to crop up with the CDMA versions.

Only problem I've had is a couple weeks after purchase it wouldn't take a charge, icon and everything would show up bit no power. Sent it off and it came back works great they had to replace the microusb port according to the work order. Others have had this problem also. Crap happens and it was fixed promptly under warranty so I'm satisfied.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Um, yeah my phone talks to me. If it didn't I would have to send it back for another warranty exchange!!!

Anyway, it is when my scrambled eggs start talking to me I have a problem. The other day they yelled at me for adding to much pepper on them. The waitress agreed with the eggs. I told her she should seek professional help if she though it was normal for my eggs to talk to me. :silly:
[HTC One X] Markieboy:
My 4 Month old HOX has developed a horizontal bar shaped area in the middle of the screen which is dead to touch!

Used the pointer trace in development tools to confirm this. :(

have re-locked and stocked the ROM for return, does anybody think i'll have any problems with warranty??

As it has to go directly back to HTC for repair...

As its a hardware fault I'm hoping not....

Cheers
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Well, it all.depends on where you purchased it.

After 4 months, a repair is the most likely course of action.
[HTC One X] death__machine:
Regardless of the possibility of your phone being rejected on the basis that the bootloader was unlocked, you should still give it a shot. Give it to HTC.

Did you drop it? If I'm right, its the digitizer that's messed up.
[HTC One X] Markieboy:
No i have a TUFF LUV case if i did ! but Ihaven't dropped it.. it just went like it....:(

Give it to the Service Center. It could be a loose cable to the digitizer or something. Anyways there's a good chance they'll fix it, Good Luck.

Had the same issue with nexus s. Middle line dead. Was really sorry cause was a new phone. One day my gf made the bad and static electricity stuck on her fingers and after she moved the phone.

I recently flashed my first rom last night (jedi mind trick) and it works awesome, but I have no data connection at all. There isn't even an icon for it. I read that it may be the radio?

[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
Definitely do not choose the Omnia if you want updates. Its WP7 I believe which will not have any updates past 7.8 (so no WP8).

The Xperia U was released earlier this year, has a dual core CPU and a planned upgrade to ICS. Android destroys any other mobile OS in terms of customization (in fact WP customization is awful, the only thing you can do is change tiles).

Hy guys :P

I'm new to Android and 2 months ago i bought a new phone (S G S II) with Android 2.3.6.

I decided it's time to upgrade and i did it with odin, folowing youtube video guide i instaled Android 4.0.3 with i think a new Kernel as well 3.0.15-I9100xxlph-cl118559.

Now with this update i have a problem with my location, everything that uses this facility it doesn't work (location,gps,facebook check in) and so on.Don't get me wrong at first with 2.3.6 they all worked after the upgrade they simply stoped.

What would realy help me is a sugestion of a kernel,ROM and a version of Android 4 (.0.1/2/3/4) that would fully work and indications on how to install them.

I thank you guys in advance and keep up the good work :D :good:
