Ouch!!! What the....

My 9100P crashed badly so I decided to update my ROM to the latest official 9100P (I9100PXXLSK).

All fine.

Then I flashed latest PhilZ kernerl (5.15.9) I was using before and... The lock screen is gone!!!

The phone does not lock in any way, pressing buttons bring back to home and... long pressing the power button does not show the usual menu but instantly turns the phone off!!!

What happened? How can I solve this???

Please help!

[EDIT]

I tried latest PhilZ for 9100P (PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSU-XEF-5.11.2-signed.zip) and nothing changed!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pdario:
I also tried a factory reset, but nothing changed.

If I flash the ROM back with ODIN, replacing the recovery / kernel, it starts working again.

As soon as I apply PhilZ, it behaves as described, so PLEASE Phil, try preparing a recovery with the attached zImage!

Thank you!

[EDIT]

Confirmed!!!

With Odin I flashed back original zImage only and the lock screen is back!

But I'm not rooted!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pdario:
I flashed an old version (5.03) based on XXLSK-TIM and the lock screen is still missing... :crying:

I don't understand! Would you mind making and updated zip from the latest zImage I posted, anyway?

Can anybody help?

It also seems unable to go into deep sleep, so the battery consumption is high.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Happened to me when IMEI was corrupted. It works on older ROMs but fails on newer

Check your IMEI if it reverted back to a generic one

Restoring my precious efs backup fixed it for me, but only if your IMEI changed to generic

Else, please post in General / FAQ sections
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pdario:
I don't know if the current IMEI is generic or not, it has a lot of 000, so it could be.

I have and old backup of my efs, is it safe to restore it?

Should I first backup the current one? The new backup will overwrite the old one?

Tnx!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Lots of 0 is bad

Search for your actual IMEI on google. You will see if it is tagged to be generic

It is always good to make a backup

Sounds like some new Samsung ROMs break the EFS when flashed with odin. Happened to me too
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pdario:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannd... That's it!!!

The only weird thing is: after restoring my EFS the phone asked me to set language, time and so on, but after that it was good!!!! With NFC too!!

Now, how can possibly a normal IQ person relate the IMEI corruption to lock screen issues??? And why does the original zImage work????

Anyway, thank you a lot again!

Just one thing: I didn't understand if you will continue updating I9100 kernels or not.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Who ever said I am a normal IQ? :D

I will support i9100, but only new kernels released that people upload here
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pdario:
Oh, well: I considered me a normal IQ! ;)

Anyway, what's the relation? It may be useful in the future.

So you won't put new features / bug fixies in 9100 files if there's no new kernel?

Sounds odd. :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kai_15:
Hi again Sir Philz, i just want to ask if it's ok to not to do this before flashing new rom? I just want to try the XWLSZ and the new build of netrom lite,

"full wipe before flashing new ROM: wipe user data + format /system and /preload. SD card

content is not affected"

--> thankyou sir! Godbless... :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pdario:
So, I'll try and test your above-normal IQ with this issues :D (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46520157#post46520157).

Maybe you already meet the usb debug problem; it could be kernel related.

Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zscomp:
You can always skip the full wipe, but if you encounter problems (like getting stuck at boot logo), you cant avoid it.

Flash the stock kernel with Odin, to check if its kernel related.

Zimage for new firmare xwms1

here newest kernel for our beloved S2

When will be possible for you...

Thanks Phil
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
[MENTION=3690986]_Sale_[/MENTION] tested XWMS1 stock and reported it was fine after 6 forced reboots, while on stock XWMS1

Just uploaded 5.15.9 XWMS1 this time, without further patching for bootloop

Hope this time is ok

S2 is still not migrated to cm-10.2. Last version is 5.15.9 and I consider it a very stable release

Hi, i have CMW-based recovery 6.0.3.6 and it didnt have wipe battery stats. So i want to put Philz CWM but i have CM 10.1.3 stable see attached photo. Can i use this Philz cwm?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Viper The Ripper:
Philz Kernel only works in STOCK roms but you can use Philz Touch Recovery 3.00! ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] heywheelie:
I have Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 which suffers from the "No lock screen, no power menu bug" so I need to root it to apply the fix. The phone has android 4.1.2 with kernel 3.0.31 build number JZO54K.I9100XWLSH. The phone is stock standard. I'm in Australia.

I downloaded this file PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSW-OXX-5.11.2-signed.zip but I am not sure it is the right one as the build number on my phone ends in XWLSH and the file I downloaded is numbered XWLSW.

Can someone please point me to the correct file to flash please?

BTW I have no intention of flashing any custom ROMs, just rooting it.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zscomp:
Go to folder efs/imei/

add new file named "keystr"

open it in text editor and type "ON" save it

Change permissions with your file explorer (ES,Root or whatever you use) to rw -r -r and reboot.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] heywheelie:
thanks but I know the fix but it requires the phone to be rooted. Which PhilZ kernel file do i need to flash to root it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zscomp:
There is XWLSH file in the 3rd post.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shaq1907:
Can I install latest PhilZ recovery to my CM 10.1.3 firmwared S2? If so, how :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Coempi:
No. It's only for Sammy ROMs.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] DAz999:
hi, I have downloaded the lastest verison you uploaded for galaxy s2 International, if I install the tar.md5 version in odin, it does not give me root access or install the recovery software, even though odin 3.07 shows it as flashed, zip version fine. Can you fix the issue if possible, or am I missing something between the 2 types?

Thanks for your work :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Yes, tar version does not auto-root your phone.

Only signed zip version roots your phone while flashing.

It's described in one of the first posts ... ;)

EDIT: It's in post #3.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
as per [MENTION=3690986]_Sale_[/MENTION], I repacked things to fix for bootloop.

It seems, it is a matter of time before your /data partition gets corrupted again without a fix

Since previous unpatched version worked and did not cause bootloop for all previous users, means the patch could actually really prevent the corruption. Else, new unpatched version would have caused a bootloop on first install for all users of my kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _Sale_:
thank you buddy
[Galaxy S II Android Development] txx3:
I got a bootloop on locksreen too, used Asop lockscreen ...an CRT...works sometimes and sometimes dont :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:

(And disable ripple effect if possible.)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Jeetu:
CRT works on Philz kernel when you turn on wifi only.

I've just discovered that my sdcard slot doesn't work. Is it possible to flash the recovery/root file from the built in USB storage or does it have to be from the sdcard?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kt-Froggy:
I think it's possible, but don't take my word for it, as I haven't used a stock recovery for a while... However, even if it doesn't work, you can still use an Odin tar package, and flash it in download mode.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] heywheelie:
I'm not familiar with Odin and would much prefer flashing from recovery. The big question is whether I can do it from the built-in USB storage?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
If you still have CWM recovery, you can flash the kernel zip file from internal and external sd card.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] conquesoextra:
Sorry if this was asked before but im not very good at english...

1- There is any app to manage the kernel settings like apolo configurator?

2- its possible to add function like BLN and Slide To Wake?

Thanks in advance

NEED HELP

Hi,

Flashed Apolo kernel 4.11 V0 Extreme. now after connecting to PC and copying files or even on ideal position the phone doesn't go in SOD and pressing the power button the phones wakes up properly. Not sure whats wrong with Philz kernel on my S2.

Just to share info that with apolo kernel if I try to restore your nandroid backup, I get following error. Can't upload sdcard\.android_secure.

would like to stick to Philiz untill apolo issue is sorted out or may be not? who knows.

Again The SOD issue came back after flashing Philz. once the phone screen goes off unable to wake it have to remove battery. Can anybody please please please help me. give me a direction which philz kernel should i use by the way my phone is I9100P (NFC model) but i don't use that feature.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] moliverac8:
Thanks, I have the doubt because I see this method doesn't change the kernel, and I read in other post that I need to change the kernel to avoid the MMC SUPERBRICK when flashing a ROM.

Enviado desde mi Nexus 7 usando Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zscomp:
Not exactly.It contains the stock kernel but its patched for the brick you mentioned.

Proceed :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
In stock recovery you can only flash the signed kernel zip file from the external sd card.

If you don't have an external sd card, or the external sd card slot is corrupt, you have to flash the kernel tar file with ODIN.

But in this case, your phone will only be prepared for rooting, not rooted yet.

In post #3 you will find the instructions and a link to the rooting guide.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aca85:
Ok guys,i have a couple of Q/ (i bought my 1rst ever Samsung android today,so pls be understanding [btw it's used,ofc])

I currently have a JB rom 4.1.2 (baseband i9100XXMS2 ,kernel : 3.0.31 - 1156082 dpi@Dell175 #3 SMP PREEMPT ... Build Noubmer : JZO54K.I9100

XWLSS

) ... with stock recovery (3e) ,,, and i think ithe phone is rooted,since it has Superuser.

My goal is to root the phone + get CWM (or Philz Recovery as it's called here...) + install custom roms (like SlimBean 4.3 ... whichever i fancy) and not to brick it [ofc].

Now i need to download the PhilZ-cwm6

v5.08.5

(because it is for the XWLSS ? and all the new versions are sadly not for the XWLSS) and flash it via 3e (from external sdcard) ... and after that,i can instal any JB Rom i want? ...

p.s. i'd really appreciate it if i could get a nice detailed answer on this,please.And not just "Yes/No" l

Ty
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zscomp:
But its simply a yes, as you are correct :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aca85:
Really? well tnx then :)

As i've been reading the SGS2 forums for 4h now non-stop,i tought it was much more complicated as others have indicated in their respective threads...

Ok i wil try...fingers crossed.

p.s. The Sdcard has to be Fat32 partitioned? and can i take out the SDcard after i finish flashing this Recovery ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zscomp:
Yes it must.

Take it out.No problem.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aca85:
Worked like a charm :) Ty again

[Galaxy S II Android Development] asrock37:
So, I'm sure you read it right?

But do you understand what you read?

FYI, official MIUI v5 is base in stock samsung firmware.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
No

I stopped patching for MMC_CAP_ERASE since a few months now.

That was largely explained why it is no more needed
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Viper The Ripper:
LOL

I didn't read MIUI thread because I haven't tried it yet... but I know that Philz Kernel is for Stock roms

I didn't know that! I thought it was based on CM :S

Sorry my fault! :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zscomp:
ICS kernels i think they still have your patch.

In JB are coming patched from Samsung.

Anyway i meant that this kernel its a patched kernel for the emmc issue (not matter who did it :D ).

Viper, Miui v5 its based on stock 4.1.2 .

Did you include the preload partion in your backup? - It's not included by default.

Whats up everyone. Been a while since been on xda. Reading up the last 20 pages the lesson ive learnt or reaffirmed is...

Samsung are to not be trusted still with its stock kernels :rolleyes::banghead::cool:

So looks like poor philz will just have to carry on editing so this bootloop problem dont happen.

Lol. Love the description philz on your kernels download page for the last MS1 kernel released :D:):thumbup:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] conquesoextra:
You need to include preload in backups (take a look in backup/advanced/includepreload, or something like that)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
It was patched using binary code, no recompile from source. I think that Tungstwenty contributed to the xiaolu script. Since I am using it to path the kernel, as mentioned in the credits, it should be safe. Now, of course, this is not 100% bullet shield proof as when you edit and compile from source code, since we patch a given binary check. However, it is the way Tungstwenty made it, and is working for all actual kernels. Also, using CWM6 adds to the security as it is not affected by the brick bug as far as I know.

Koush is the only one I know that can do it. He created CWM

Strange, I tested it in odin before uploading. If others confirm the md5 check is bad, I will upload again
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Koush is the only one I know that can do it. He created CWM

Answer2 (edit): I can use CWM 6.0.1.2 non touch version which has a very small font footprint. However, most people would complain because the new touch version has a nicer GUI, in my opinion. You can still use my temporary CWM6 non touch over this kernel. Get it from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1840223

Answer2 (edit): for added security, I edited OP with a new upload, again tested and passing in odin the md5 checksum
