Glad you got it working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Leelouster:
Thanks again for the explanations Cook :)

By the way, remember when I said my phone would freeze? Well it's doing it again. This time only when I'm playing music. With either the stock music player or with doubleTwist on my phone. When I have it playing music and I get a text and reply and turn off the screen, there's like a 35% chance that it'll freeze. As in freeze, I mean it doesn't shut down. I know it's not off because when I hold the power button, the phone has the loading circle, and then the battery appears on my screen (because I'm charging it) and I have to turn it back on manually -.-

Any suggestions besides wipe cache, davilk, and fix permissions? :o

Edit:By the way, is it possible to get a FM radio on our phones? I thought S2's had them? :o

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
I would just try to avoid that combination. You could try doing the wipes, and fixing permissions again. Or you could get a logcat while replicating the problem, and post it in the ROMs thread with an explanation of the issue.

No radio. I9100 has it, I777 doesn't.

Its been a few weeks of just running ShoStock3 2.5.6 and the battery is so so. I decided on just letting the jeboo kernel alone for awhile, now I want to see if i can get better battery life. mr-cook directed me to AJK 1.6b kernel. Now I see a few are using the AJK 1.21 and theres a new 1.25 final version. I see razen_kain has both the 1.21 & 1.25 for a signature. I am confused?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Once you have ajk installed, I'd leave it on the default profile for a couple of days Rio let it settle in. But while you wait, off that problem comes back up try goin into stweaks and under cpu scroll down to

---------- Post added at 04:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 AM ----------

I'm sorry for a lot of questions.

I will be right if i do this things?:

- ROMs

- I777 Main Thread- http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1301 (Android Development, and Ported Development to find ROMs)

- OR flash CyanogenMod 10.1 from link below (this is flashed in CWM) From CyanogenMod 10.1 all i777 custom ROMs are compatible.

- CyanogenMod, and most all custom ROMs are already rooted when you flash them, no need to root first.

- You may need to change your APN for data to work with some custom ROMs. Stock APN is at the bottom of this post. Usually you can just edit the included APN from att.mvno to wap.tracfone , and save it, then select it. If data still doesn't work delete all other APNs besides the one you're using.

OR:

- CWM ZIP FLASHING -

- Save Zip file to be flashed to the Root (not in a folder) of your External SD card

- BOOT INTO RECOVERY- Phone off

- Hold volume up, volume down and power button. (You can release just the power button at the samsung screen but dont have to).

- Select -install zip from sdcard, -choose zip from sdcard, -select the zip file you put there earlier, -it will ask you to confirm, select -yes -install

- If you are installing a custom ROM Do this FIRST before installing Zip, -wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, select -advanced, -wipe dalvik cache

It looks like you got your phone unlocked you just don't have it registered on a network. I wished I could tell you what to do but I have never done that before so I can't.

As I understand it you took a stock phone, straight out of the box, rooted it, then unlocked it. Is that correct? No new rom. No new kernel.

Unlock phone

I had the same problem- got the phone unlocked- as you did- could never get a new Sim registered- not telcel- not t-moblile- I had to buy another phone for my travels- t-mobile s2 and unlocked that phone easily! Many people have told me it is impossible to use a different Sim than a tracphone! Anyone want to borrow my SGH 959 to prove this wrong? I spent 3 wks and much time of the very supportive people on this group!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Titan380:
If you pulled your SIM out while phone is on this will happen. To fix reboot with SIM in. Make sure SIM is in properly and clean. If above is ok then your EFS got messed up unlocking. Hopefully you backup your EFS fist. If you did back it up them restoring it should bring back network. After restoring your phone will be locked again in which case I would recommend unlocking again with Galaxy_S Unlock. Make sure you make a new EFS backup with Galaxy_S Unlock before trying again. If you are unable to get network back at all download GSII _Repair.

not understanding you clearly but which sim card is not recognizing the network? if its the non stock one it wont work because you havent changed the APN settings to that of whatever sim carrier your trying to use. the stock phone apn settings are locked on to tracfones network so you`ll need an app like APN Manager to change the settings. make sure you backup your settings. before changing them use APN backup & restore. if you install another rom then you wont need the apps as the apn settings are editable. this may or may not work as others have stated they`ve had no luck using a different carriers sim card.

I've been running the CM10.1 nightlies for about a week now (currently on 3-14 nightly). I just do the OTA updates each morning before I go to work. It's nice having an updated phone and not have to mess with doing any more wipes. I was using the AJK kernel (1.25 and 1.47), but I use my camera heavily and couldn't get the camera brightness settings to work with either AJK kernel so I stopped using it and went back to the stock CM kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Spinergy02:
I was actually wondering which nightly those guys were running when their phones burnt out overnight.

As for the camera brightness on ajk, I've never had any problems with it and also use my camera often for work. I work in a polymer coatings lab and have to take pictures of samples to go along with collected data and have had no problem with the quality. Just because your screen is a bit dimmer does not make the actual pictures less bright. I'd suggest playing around with camera settings and take lots of pictures, upload them to your comp, and check out the quality. My work also requires that my phone last over 8 hours with fairly heavy use and the stock cm kernel just doesn't do that for me right now.
