Hi Sorry if I am being really stupid here but I have am issue with odin not going yellow when in download mode also have have a driver issue with a Broadcom USH which I think it to do with this phone.... ? I am on Win 7. I got given the phone and even paid for an unlock code. As when I put another sim card in it doesn't let me register it nothing ahhh its driving me made. I am in the uk and the phone is from the Usa. Please please someone help me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I'm not sure that you can unlock this phone. I mean you can unlock it but can't get it to use another carrier. I'm not sure because I've never tried it but from what I've read from others on here, they have it locked up.

Have you tried relocking it and then try to install cwm with Odin.

Use philz cwm if you do get it working. I could be wrong about the unlock to other carrier issue. Mr cook can tell you more about that.

Just to be sure, you are using the straight talk sgh-s959g, right?

"Registering" the Sim card requires the ability to edit the APN settings. Of he can't register the Sim car card, theni believe the root of the problem would be the inability to edit APN. If he's already on a custom ROM then I don't see what his problem is. Perhaps he'd doesn't know how to edit the APN. Or maybe he lacks the info for editing

Easy, I flashed shostock, and purchased galaxunlock and popped in my tmobile sim.. Didn't have to do anything to the apn because it was already there.. And I have 3g because I am in a refarmed area (fort Lauderdale)

Fix to battery cant charge

My battery died also after leaving device in OFF position....I was on leave to Europe and after 4 weeks could not power up or charge.....so I call them and they tell me same thing need to send device to them to get new .......so I did other thing.....

Pull the battery from cell phone and make charge by vires for about 30 minutes then put back to phone and it was already 10% charge and after that charge with phone .....and my battery still work without problems.....Problems is in stock rom.....once you flash custom rom like SHOstock .....you will not ever have this problems. ....just with stock rom

So if you going to run stock rom dont keep powered off with battery in for long time.....it will drain battery to point that regular way wont charge.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] compdave7681:
Thanks, I was running CyanogenMod 10.1 for about two months and had no problems. I plugged phone in with about 4% battery and went to bed, woke up and the phone was warm. Removed battery and let cool down, placed wife's battery in mine and fired it up. Plugged in same charger and it started charging, placed my battery in her phone on different charger (the one she uses) for 20 minutes and nothing not even the charging screen (She is all stock no root). Sorry should have said this in previous post. I will try to get the battery to charge somehow and go from there.. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. They are already sending an envelope for me to send the phone back so I guess I am kinda stuck with trying to get CWM off of this thing...

EDIT: well for fun I put the battery in and and plugged it in, I got a battery icon with a yellow traingle and then it started charging.. I am so lost with this phone its driving me nuts... Will charge for a while and go from there...

Sorry I've been super busy I added this new link to the OP- sgh-s959g-stock.tar.gz

I also added this- SGH-S959G STOCK 3e RECOVERY.zip it can be flashed in CWM after the stock ROM, and modem.

Then it was just a bad download, you can re-download. I know that it works I have tested it.

There are some posts floating around about how to get the battery to charge, basically you cut a piece of paper to block the tabs on the battery except for the ones to charge so that the battery will charge without the phone trying to pull anything from it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] samprocat:
If you change roms or battery you need app to calibrate ......

Your call on my side use cwm get zip root phone ......get app to calibrate after is fully charged and ....will work like charm.....

Quick question.Im not a noob by any means but I have been bashing my head against the wall trying to figure this out.I am rooted,cwm,the works.Have flashed several Roms with zero issues,installs fine,runs fine.My issue is this....I can not get data on any JB or ICS Rom.Ive tried different apn's,different modems,etc. As soon as I flash to any GB Rom and set up apn's all is well again.Ive tried the stock modem and every modem available but to no avail.Its driving me up a wall and I know its going to be something so simple I will feel like an utter idiot.Any help would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
The modem should not make a difference. The apn is what gets your mobile data going. There are stock and byop apn setups in the op. If you have the sgh-s959g use the stock apn. If you're using another phone with a straight talk sim card, use the byop apn. put them exactly as they are in the op and i guarantee you it will work. Try that and let us know what happens :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bob24260:
I appreciate your response.I had changed apn's back and forth and what finally worked for me was I took the stock apn and used it.The apn that had previously worked for me was the net 10 one.It worked on gingerbread and the stock one works for ics/JB.I dont know why its different but thats ok:)Thank you for taking the time to answer.

Thats my old carrier and I never bothered to update it.Thank you for the response.It is appreciated.

As I stated in my response above for some reason I have to use the net 10 apn for gingerbread and the stock apn for ICS/JB.I finally figured it out after your responses got me to try the apn's in the OP.To confirm it I flashed back to stock gingerbread and sure enough the stock apn wouldnt work on it but the net 10 would.I truly appreciate the response.:laugh::good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] samprocat:
First what carrier you use are your sim card from another phone that is looked by IMEI AT&T Like to do this second did you after setting apn save setting then come back to click on new apn....and was your data and roaming clicked
