still no mobile data do you think i could have flashed wrong this was my first flash away from CM-nightly (on the nightlies i would stay updated)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
No. Rom doesn't make any difference. There has to be something wrong in your apn settings. Check the op of this thread under stock apn and double check what you've got. If you still can't get it, post a couple screen shots of your apn settings and I'll see if you've missed something. Remember that capitalization and spaces matter and don't forget you must hit the menu soft key and select save before backing out of the apn settings page.

Thanks for all your work, Mr. Cook.

I'm using the Net10 version of the phone, and I've found that everything here I've tried seems to be just as applicable except that the APN is different.

So I installed Shostock 3.0.2 the other day. I been having the same issue as a guy did a few pages back with MASSIVE battery drain. So I just reinstalled SS3 AND installed AJK 4.7ms kernel and....MY CAMERA WORKS!!!! I dont want to get ahead of myself here but.....:victory:

U need the "mic swap" version though for SHOstock 3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chrishaney23:
Yes you are right. I mistyped in my post. I corrected it. I do have the "mic swap" version installed. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chrishaney23:
Camera is broke again? No idea why it stopped working again. Noticed it last night about 2 hours after it was working. After it was working all I used was MX video player, internet and Facebook app. Another possible cause is the charger I use overnight. It's an LG charger into a wall outlet. Could this be it? I been using it forever so don't know why it would screw up the camera months later all a sudden. When I get home later I am gonna do a full wipe again. Reinstall SS3 and AJK 4.7ms kernel. If it works again after reinstall... gonna go very slowly from there to see if I can narrow it down.

(Edited to make sense. Originally sent from my phone and that damm Swype!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I suppose it could be the charger... Try and get a Samsung charger. Keep us posted on how it turns out.

You aren't messing with any voltages are you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chrishaney23:
Nope. Barely touch STweaks. And the things I do mess with do not have slider bars on them. They scare me! :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chrishaney23:
So I just wiped the phone and reinstalled JUST Shostock3.0.2 and the camera worked. Hooked it up to LG wall charger and BOOM...Camera Failed! Wiped again, reinstalled SS3, camera works. A few minutes later, I got the OEM Samsung wall charger plug and USB cable.... before I plugged it in, I checked the camera... Camera Failed!!!! It was a matter of 5-10 minutes. I give up.....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chrishaney23:
I am a bit bored and maybe someone else is too. Brain storming time! This camera is driving me crazy!

If the camera works sometimes, but usually not... why? Hardware or software?

After a fresh reinstall of a ROM, it works most of the time BUT for only a little while then crashes itself in the background while not even using the phone.

Is there some kind of camera.apk thats Version number is higher than 1.5? (thats what my version number is) And in the all apps page, there is never any cache to clear for the camera? (only 8kb of data which is the help screen when you first launch the camera) Is that normal?

i was having allot of problems try and check apn settings and if that dont work reflash then add the APN
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I've actually given your problem a lot of thought. At first it seems like a hardware problem but the fact that it works fine for a little while then goes haywire makes me think... Could it be a voltage problem?

In stweaks there is CPU voltages and GPU voltages. Have you tried bumping these up, say all frequencies +1 step in voltage??? I mean I'm really just brainstorming here. I honestly have no idea if this will have any effect at all. What i do know is that if i over clock this phone at all it will make lines in my camera pics. Not really so much lines but vertical stripes of discoloration...

I will try to find out more about this. Try googling CPU/GPU voltages and picture quality in Samsung devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] avery.deloach:
I've already tried stock APN as per OPs instructions, but I might just try reflashing and stock APN again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trevor.bman:
like i said when i first flashed to pac i had allot of problems i couldn't even add or EDIT APN idk what happend but i reflashed and all issues solved im not sure exactly why but the reflash worked for me but.. after i got tired of things not working i just reread the OP and made sure to flash reboot recovery flash reboot recovery flash gapps ect... please follow the instructions i think that may have been my issue (DIRTY FLASH) ..so after i got it working on my daily driver i then put it on my girlfriends phone the funny thing was i did her flash with no issues .. if you need any more help im glad to help as much as i can so heres what i have APN and File List

**(ADDED)**and i also deleted the other APN settings only leaving the Straight Talk APN..idk if your supposed to leave those on but i think it might be easier on the phone if their is only one option for APN settings

Step 1- Delete ROM Manager from your phone immediately.

Step 2- Odin back to stock from the OP.

Step 3- Read before you do anything else to your phone. I'm sure it was expensive.

If you still need help ask.

Been having too many issues running CM10.2 on my device.

Everytime I manually shut the phone off or reboot it, it just hangs at the Samsung Galaxy SII logo and doesnt budge.

Rebooting into recovery and doing a factory reset fixes the issue until I manually shut it off again.

If the phone does it itself (randomly, at that) it works without fail.

So im going to rollback to my backed up CM10.1 I have. Just want to make sure before I start it, what all do I need to do before hand?

eg. Wipe Delvik, Cache, Fac. Reset, etc.

Help is greatly appreciated.

Im going to rephrase my post, since that, and the front page, had nothing to answer my question.

I backed up my CM10.1 in CWM before I updated to CM10.2

I am now having issues, and want to restore that back up.

Is there anything I need to wipe before I restore that backup to prevent any problems?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
No.

Just restore from the backup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] OneHandMan2010:
Okay, thank you. Thats all I needed to know.

I saw all kinds of info for flashing custom ROMs and whatnot, but nothing verbatim about rolling back through a backup.

Switching between JB Roms...AOKP....and so on sometimes. ...sample. ....

If you backup cooked rom

And try CM type of rom

You will need to do FULL wiping

Do not try backup flash. ...

Be cause recovery don't backup preload

So you will need to do this first

Flash cooked again. .

Doing by instruction

Wait to install ...don't boot rom

Now do

Normal wipe

Flash backup

Now boot rom...

Well some of you know about my camera issues. Finally got somewhere with warranty support. Straight Talk is gonna replace it for free. SWEET!!! Now my question is... ST told me that I have to send my phone in first, then they will send me a new one. Well I just called ST to switch my number back to my old ST phone and the automated message said my phone is on the way??? Then I talked to a lady saying it should be here by Wednesday. All this is surprising and great news of course but what about the phone I got now? I read somewhere on the web that they send you the new phone with a box to return your old phone? Anyone have any knowledge here on what the process is exactly? Thanks!

APN Settings

For some odd reason I was able to view the actual default APN setting after loading a few different roms and then reverting back to the backed up stock rom. I'm not sure how this happened. All I know is that via stock the option to view the settings was blocked. So I took a screen shot and saved it. The only thing that I'll note is that you need to modify the APN type line. For some reason if you input the settings as is it will not function. It took me some time to figure this out. I used the default,internet,mms,supl settings... Works Great...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] samprocat:

Hope someone is out there and quick..... Gotta send in my phone to straight talk for replacement. I undertand post 1 page 1. I want to go back to stock out of the box... recovery, firmware and the modem (why not).

Do I or dont I have to use ODIN?

Also when do i flash the stock modem?

Is ODIN flashable firmware back to out of the box stock? Recovery and all? If so then I guess that answers everything!

Any ideas? Help? Am I doing something wrong? Quite possibly but for once I dont think so..lol

So use ODIN !!!! Damm it! Can I still use ODIN even now after I got the factory modem and firmware (2.3.6 GB) installed now currently? (Still have CWM Recovery) I wouldnt see a reason why not... just asking.

EDIT: I went to use ODIN and the file you are told to download for use in ODIN is corrupted as well! I went to extract the file with winrar (cause ODIN doesnt recognize RAR files), WinRar said the file is corrupt. Did it twice, download and extract...corrupt.

Am I now stuck with CWM?

Also you should probably format your preload before flashing back to stock. You could use my ROM wipe script in CWM then power off, boot into download mode and then flash the Odin package. That way nothing is left behind.

So I got my phone back. Straight Talk sent me a refurbished S2. I guess thats fine. It didnt have a scratch on it so thats a major plus! AND the camera works! So after a couple hours of getting it rooted and back on Jelly Bean, reinstalling all my apps etc etc.... I noticed this.... I installed Shostock3 with the Jeboo kernal (included in ROM), and it had 826MB RAM. After I installed AJK 4.9ms, it only has 784MB RAM. Can someone tell me why? I am not trying to insult AJ at all. Just curous as to the differences if its a quick and easy explanation. I probably will stick with AJK regardless anyway. Battery life has always been awesome with his kernels.

PS: In case anyone wonders in the future... I sent my broke phone out Wednesday morning, had the new phone in hand Tuesday. 7 days aint to bad IMO with Straight Talk's crappy deal of send yours first, then we'll send your new one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
