[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
Many thanks for the info guys!

In the next version these changes will be part of the default profile:

Sleep_Governor = Conservative

SCALING_MAX_SUSPEND_FREQ = 800MHz

Min Frequency For 2-Core = 600MHz

If you have any other suggestions for profile tweaks please let me know. I will have access to an i777 all week for testing so I can try out some new things.

In the future, UnderVolting will be removed from my kernel. It causes sooo many issues....and there is zero measurable battery savings from UV the CPU.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Yeah i can't see any difference with UV. I have however read plenty about why you should NOT uv/ov. Cpu is not designed for doing that.

It's the new JellyBean for the I777, you can flash it in CWM.

I was thinking of doing that just wanted to know if it could be done with odin. I know the sprint/boost/virgin S2 you can mix and match the odin builds.

Thanks for the quick response
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
You "could" do it, but it would be risky. The s959g has different bootloaders (better) than the I777. You're better off just flashing the ROM version. In post 2 or 3 of that thread is the completely stock version except it's rooted and different kernel.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kali323:
Im not going to risk it if the bootloaders are different. Thanks for all your help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Don't be scared. The only difference on or boot loader is that recovery is flashed to a sperate partition. That is it.

I've been having an issue since I flashed CM for my SGH-S959G everything works wonderfully except 3G.... 2G, H, and H+ works fine but as soon as it says 3G at the top it doesn't connect this has happened to me with two different phones (Returned one do to battery issue) was wondering if you guys have seen this before.... Oh yea this is just with data the phone works fine...

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

Oh and another thing... Have any of you seen the new SGH-S959G??? It has silver buttons at the bottom and silver border around the edge... Had anybody flashed this phone yet? The straight talk rep (I work for Walmart in electronics ) told me that this phone has some sort of chip to stop it from being sim unlocked bit he thinks it can still be rooted... I guess they came out last month....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
I believe I have the phone you're talking about because this is a replacement phone I got from straight talk use mr cooks rom and aj's kernel and everything will be just fine phone rocks with it I have not unlock the sim card so I don't know about. The sim I am using is actually my original sim out of my first straight talk phone a zte merit

OK but has anybody had the 3G issue? It used to not bother me Cuz I was always in a H+ area but I moved and bought a house in a less then perfect zone... Is there some settings in the APN that's could be different? I do know that the APN settings they got listed on the first post is a little different then the ones that were in the phone stock could somebody give me the stock APN settings from an untouched phone? I had to reflash my phone do to a bad update from CM (woke up one morning after hitting update when I got into bed like I did every night since CM has daily updates, and the phone was stuck on the loading screen) I know I know it doesn't fix it but it seems like it did it less with those settings... I'll send a pic later today....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Your apn settings should not need to be changed. If they are same as op you should be good.

Have you tried flashing the newest modem? I777UCMD8?

No I haven't what will that do exactly? And what's the risk? Here is a pic of the new phone its hard to see but it is different
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
No risk. Just download the zip in the op and flash it in recovery. It's just the latest updated modem. may or may not get better signal. Faster speeds.

So what are the chances of this phone getting CM10.2? Does anybody know if Entropy plans to continue supporting CM10.x on the I777?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] StoneComputers:
Its very strange I get nice data in H and H+ modes I also get data in 2G or E mode... But when it says 3G at the top data don't work and sometimes it just switches to 3G for no reason at all... I thought it was my phone but this is the 2nd one to do this... Is it CM?

Also the APN settings listed at the first post is slightly different then the stock ones on the phone I'll list those if I can get a hold of an untouched one again....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
It very well could be cm. They can be buggy...

Try this: delete your straight talk apn altogether, create a new apn, and set it back up again. Sounds pointless i know but i have had to do this before when my data wasn't working right after a dirty flash.

Sent from my SGH_S959G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] StoneComputers:
I made a new APN and even tried to mess with the two bottom settings that are not listed in the APN settings and no combo seems to make the data work when it says 3G at the top... Its kind of funny Cuz when the phone is stock the internet always worked but I never saw "3G" at the top it always said H or H+ no matter what... Maybe my phone makes it say 3G when its really only connected to voice and not data and the phone does not have a icon for that???

How is all your data? (Those of you with CM) Do you ever see 3G at the top? I'm going to look into flashing the modem but I doubt that's it... I don't know what that will do exactly and hope its nothing permanent if bad things happen... Is it just new drivers? Or is it firmware? I want to try a new ROM but I like how stock this one is and I like how much it can be customized... I need jellybean for shore and hope we will get keylimepie when it drops since Samsung won't be supporting it with the S2... But if my old ass nook color can run Jellybean this will be able to run KLP for sure....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] r8erhed:
my S2 is stuck

Hi all, I bought this s959g S2 at walmart 6-8 mos ago with the uneducated impression it was 'unlocked' and would take any and every sim/service I wanted to use. Well long story short, it aint. Tracfone only, and those pricks wont give me the unlock code as I am moving over to Tmobile for the better reception and international options. I've searched high and low for unlock codes at the various stores that sell codes, and the tracfone isn't even listed as a carrier!

Set up my old backup phone with the tmobile sim and moved my # over for the time being, and only hope the tracfone clowns contract a skin eating disease!

I've looked around on here and other sights on how to fix this mess, ran across big words like kernal, odin. roots, flashes and stuff like that and I'm completely lost in the forest!

Phone works great and I'm quite fond of it, it just fits me. Put in a new sim, boot it up, and nothing, it loads just like normal, but gives the 'no network' error when trying to call/text.

Can any of you fine folks help me save my Sammy?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] r8erhed:
Thankyou man, I'm still searching...there are a couple thousand frickin posts in this thread so it may take awhile! See my problem is mainly I am ignorant to all the terms/actions that you mention...root...rom...modem (the phone has a modem?) not only do I not know how to do it, I don't even know what they mean!

First thing I should do is figure out how to root it, yes?? Rooting is installing new operating software? Like going from windows 7 to windows 8?

Never dreamed I'd need an engineering degree to change carriers!! thanks again....Tim
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Yes. To do this though, first you need to install cwm recovery. Recovery is like a little mini operating system. Follow the Odin instructions in the op. Once you have recovery, boot into recovery and go to backup and restore and make a backup of your stock phone. Then we can go from there

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] r8erhed:
I'm trying, but the dude might as well be speaking Japanese! Example, here's the 1st 4 lines in that post:

********************

Install CWM RECOVERY using ODIN, make a BACKUP, then flash the ROOT ZIP in CWM RECOVERY.

- CWM RECOVERY v6.0.2.7 (ODIN flash) Thanks to r00t4rd3d

- Make a backup with CWM before going any further. Boot into recovery, select backup/ restore, backup.

- Root Zip- flash zip through CWM

*******************

And here are my questions:

-Where do I find this CMW...then where do I install it?

-What is an ODIN?

-How do I make this backup?

-How do I 'boot into recovery?

-Root Zip??

Its kindof like being given directions to changing out a carburetor when you have never seen an engine.

I just want to be able to call my ol lady with the dam phone!

Im going to have to start from scratch and learn all these terms/actions...I'm asking too much for you all to walk me thru this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] samprocat:
My suggestions is to find some of your buddies that are familiar with rooting and guide you trough. .and once you watch you will see ....this is not rocket since. ....believe me we all come from there at some point of time. ..so don't try to be afraid asking questions we are here living proof that you can be on rooted side....and once you take this route there will nothing to keep you unrooted ever again. ...

Good luck...:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
The terminology can be intimidating but i assure you it's really an easy process. Some stuff won't make sense until after you do it. We can help you. To answer your question...

Odin is an application you will use on your PC to flash a recovery to your phone.

You will need to download that cwm recovery from the very beginning of the page. It is a .tar file.

Follow the "Odin instructions" to install or "flash" this file on your phones recovery partition.

Once you have completed those instructions, your going to power off your phone. Once it's off, you hold volume up+volume down+power for several seconds and your phone will boot into recovery. When this happens you will see a menu that says reboot system, install zip, etc. You will then choose the option backup and restore. Then choose backup. This makes a backup of your stock phone system. Once that is done you can go back to the main menu and select mounts and storage. Scroll down to mount USB. Your phone needs to be plugged into your computer for that first. Then your going to go to your computer and click, start-computer and you should see internal and external SD cards along with c: and whatever other drives you have. Copy the root.zip file onto your SD card. Now select unmount USB on your phone. Go back to the main menu in recovery and select install zip from SD card. Browse to where the root. zip file is and select to install it. This will root your phone. Then go back, select reboot system and you should have stock rooted phone with cwm recovery. Then you can upgrade to jellybean if you want by flashing a Rom in recovery later if you so desire.

See that's the attitude StraightTalk wants... Just because he wants to use his phone with another carrier he shouldn't be able to because he doesn't know how? How is hat far? I do it all the time for people (at a decent price) so the money grabbers don't win.... You pay $350 for a phone (without a contract) but they tell you that you don't really own the rights to this phone... Straight talk as actually tried (and mostly lost) to sue people who unlock their phones since it is illegal now.... Why is there not a bigger uprising for the people who passed that law? The phone is one of the only devices that we can buy and then be told what we can and can't do with it.... How is this fair? And it wouldn't be as bad if they actually pushed updates but we got a $300+ phone that comes with Gingerbread and Samsung pushed the update already, yet Straight talk says it won't EVER be updating this phone..... I'd rather see people come to me or someone like me and get the most out of their phone then walk away because it was too hard or intimidating for them to accomplish....... but hey maybe that's just me....

Ported number to S2 installed cm 10.1 next day my number changed!

OK couldn't find this anywhere so here goes:

Bought a Straight Talk Galaxy S2 and ported my old (Sprint Network) straight talk number to it.

Used it for a day on GB and wanted more.

Next day successfully installed CM 10.1 and set APN. All seemed fine until...

I got up this morning and texted someone to tell them I was running late. Got a "Who's this" back.

Talked to them and figured out I had sent the text from a new number.

Phone info showed correct "old" number but calling old number got a not in service message.

Re-botted phone, phone now shows new number in phone info.

Not sure if Straight Talk just effed up and it has nothing to do with my ROM. Could call them but I'm afraid its just going to happen again and I should just live with the new number. Ideas?

My other fear is ST will tell me I violated their TOS with unapproved ROM.

Anyone else experience this ROM'ing a Straight Talk S2?
