One make sure internet is on so google can communicate with servers. Might be the hang issue. Two try wiping dalvik and partition after flashing new rom before you boot for the first time. Don't know if it'll help but just a thought.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jasonmatty1:
I always wipe davik and cache partition. To me it seems like an issue that may be related to the inability to write to the system during boot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GaidinBDJ:
I had a couple issues with boot hangs when I did my first custom ROM install and had the same issues doing the same with a friend's SII. I had to use the Darkside wipes at the time, but from what I've seen on the boards, they're not necessary with newer versions (>6) of CWM. It's been a while, but if I recall correctly, the key for me was first doing a full update with Kies (yea, I know, I know, PITA software, but it did help). Then pushing CWM with Odin, going through both Darkside wipes, and then finally applying the custom ROM (it was CM9 at the time).

If you can push newer versions of CWM, I guess the Darkside wipes aren't necessary anymore, as the CWM wipes work just fine.

Edit: I also ran a permission fix after applying the ROM but before trying the first boot. Shouldn't have made a difference, but I was going with the "nuke from orbit" approach to install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jasonmatty1:
Thanks for everyone that helped. I put the rom on a sd card instead of the internal storage and it worked flawless.

Would anyone care to comment as to the best rom for the s2? I put Jedi Mind Trick on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GaidinBDJ:
I've always been partial to Cyangenmod. If you're into tinkering, it's nice because it's got one of the larger user bases so when you mess something up, it's pretty easy to Google for fixes.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap1618:
Hi all,

I saw somewhere that lfashing CWM through ROM manager is unstable.

is this still the case? or can I safely flash CWM from ROM manager and have it stick through reboots?

also, do I need to factory reset when flashing custom recovery for good measure?

(currently I'm rooted with busybox only, stock ROM)

thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMNein:
I'm not sure if it still does a "fake flash" of recovery through Rom Manager (?) The best way to install a recovery is through fastboot.

You could also install TWRP just as easily with the Goo Manager app as an alternative.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
I haven't had any problems installing it through ROM Manager. Installed an update to CWM about a month ago this way and it works fine. Also just reinstalled CWM this way last night after messing around going back to stock and it boots into recovery just fine. I don't flash custom ROM's just do backups and installed su so haven't thoroughly tested it out.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap1618:
If I have CWM flashed, if I do an OTA update, would I lose recovery? or worse does it cause any conflicts?

thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbeebe24:
You won't lose recovery. an ota will not complete without the stock recovery. You'd have to reinstall your stock recovery for an ota to be successful
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMNein:
It's easy enough to adb sideload an OTA zip via CWM and you have the option to retain root IIRC.

Just search for adb+sideload+OTA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] s8freak:
When I root from Odin it gives me the green pass but when it reboots it just goes back to the yellow triangle. When I try to reboot to recovery there's nothing at all.

It was rooted and running shostock. One night it just shut down and started this crap. Grrrrr.

Any ideas people would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
You don't root from Odin. Have you tried re flashing the kernel?

Download the zip package from the thread and flash with mobile Odin or extract the kernel file from the zip and flash that using the pda slot in Odin on your computer.

All else fails, flash back to stock and then flash the rom again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] s8freak:
Thanks Red for your quick reply. I've tried to flash the stock kernel but when rebooting still nothing all I can get to is download screen. Still no recovery and still yellow triangle screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] s8freak:
Your right it wasn't from Odin it's been a few weeks since I've worked on it I've been to busy having great fun on my S3 :D I just want to see if I can get the S2 back up to give to my wife.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
Go to the stickies and flash back to stock. That should be he easiest. Plus, it gives a fresh start.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thadd Valeika:
I am on CM10 right now all because it has the option of a screenshot and i love the stock ROM for the SIII. I have tried all of the screenshot apps and they don't work at all and i hate them so much. Is there a MOD or something to get the option of holding down the power button and taking a screenshot with the stock ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ceelos09:
Hold the Home button+power button. This is standard on new devices like the S3 so no additional screen shot apps are required.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thadd Valeika:
I did not know that. That's awesome. Thank you so much
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] socos25:
Or you could just put your hand on it's side and slide it across the screen. This also takes a screenshot on the stock rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryo Sakazaki:
Ok guys i know there are a few threads already created for this error, however; I haven't seen a solution yet, So i'm creating this thread in hopes that we can compile all the information about this, and maybe find a solution,

Here's the story, I bought an Unlocked Galaxy note SGH-i717D on ebay about a year ago, the phone was working like a charm and it loved it , then a few months later i started getting a "NO SIM Inserted" error message.

The SIM card was pretty old so I went to my carrier and changed it. That seemed to do the trick and it worked fine until a few weeks ago, when the damn error showed up again. I'm literally getting this error message every day, making the phone impossible to use.

I've tried EVERYTHING:

1- I ruled out the SIM card being faulty since it's new and it works on other phones

2- Made sure the SIM was making contact with the pins

3- Put Scotch tape on the SIM to make it fit better on the SIM slot

3- Deleted cache

4- Rooted my phone and installed titanium backup to delete all user and system app cache

5- flashed the original rom back into my phone

Nothing seems to work (the titanium backup method works for a few hours/days) so please if any of you know the solution to this issue please let me know.

I highly appreciate any help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Sim card slots go bad some times. A samsung repair shop can replace it in minutes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] snowcolt17:
mine went out. i havent paid any attention to it. ive noticed alot of notes have this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryo Sakazaki:
yup i've read a lot about it, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the hardware, cuz it works fine when I delete the cache, i've read it has to do with the 3g/4g band the phone is working with, that may cause the issue, but then again nobody's been able to confirm this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tweebs:
Having the same problem.

No SIM

Baseband: Unknown

IMEI: Unknown

Can't restore with KIES.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] btswein:
Mine was under warranty so I just returned it for an exchange. Got a new SIM, no changes. A factory reset fixed it for a short period.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryo Sakazaki:
So I rooted my phone and installed titanium backup like i mentioned on my first post, there's an option on Titanium backup called CLEAR cache for all user and system apps, that seems to do the trick at least for a few hours and some time days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] drunkensaylor77:
Sounds like what you guys may need is the sim card port replacement. whatever you do do not send your phone to samsung if you arent under warranty, you will be broke when your done with them. the part is 7$ including shipping on ebay, you can type in sim card port to find it. it is very easy to install, if you dont feel comfortable you can bring it to a shop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Flaquito69:
My phone have the same problem. But is the t-mobile note (sgh-t879). Can I use this parts for fix my phone?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Aenima462:
This happened on my i717 just after warranty ran out (of course). It first started off with losing the use of 4g so I couldnt make calls and only could use lte data. Then the radio would stop working and nothing worked. I then restarted my phone and no sim card inserted error. Eventually it would work again but last night I was using the phone and data with no problem but nothing can fix the error today. I'm stuck using the desire HD unless I can figure this out.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kebeadle:
No solution so far

I've had this same problem. Reset system and use caches with Titanium Backup but this didn't last. Reset to the original ROMs (Samsung update to Android 4.1 ) did not help. Finally I bought and replace the sim and microsdcard reader (which was remarkably easy to do), This didnt help either. Anyone have a solution?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryo Sakazaki:
WTF? it seems like its a software issue then, this is so weird! I read somewhere that it may be the band the phone works with, I'm in Costa Rica so the 3g, 4g bands that we use here may be a bit different and could be causing the problem, then again i know NOTHING about cell phone band frequencies....

This is what's been working for me, I delete cache using titanium back up and then leave the phone off through the night, this method seems to work for a a few weeks maybe a month and when i get the error message again i repeat the process. Also make sure the pins on the sim tray are touching the sim card I noticed on my phone they were a little low so i took a needle and lift them up a bit.

Anyways I really got sick of the error, so I'm changing the sim card tray, if that doesn't work I'm getting rid of this phone. :mad:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pak-stars:
replaced sim tray and problem is still there...wtf
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kichikun:
I was having the same problem. The error would hapoen 10+ times a day sometimes.

I replaced the sim card reader, stil happened. Flashed new rom and modem, didn't fix thr problem.

Started rooting around, thought that maybe the piece of case that sits under the leading edge of the sim card lifts it up, occasionally breaking sim contact when it flexed.

Took a screwdriver and bent the three contacts out some more, now it only happens occasionally.

I think I may be onto something here.

Hey guys, I hope someone here can help with this. I'm running Viper 3.1.0 and I've installed the Google JFK icon pack, which I love. However, the camera and music icon do not change when I apply the icon set. I know there is a way to go into the apk or system, and rename something so that the icon will apply, I am just unsure of what to rename, and to what. Thank for any help!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] E.Cadro:
Editing the icon apk is not an easy process so here is the quickest way to fix your problem.

I'm assuming you are using Apex or Nova Launcher.

Download Icons attached to your sd card

Long press the Icon you wish to change

Select Edit

Tap the icon image in the pop up

Tap select picture (Apex) gallery (nova)

Navigate to the image you downloaded to your sd card

Select it

Done

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] franki_667:
I don't know what im talking about, but wouldn't you have to decompile the APK, replace the icon png, and then recompile for each application?

Technically speaking, yes. But I have just renamed the .apk to .zip and edited stuff, then changed it back to .apk.. And it worked. Lol

[HTC EVO 3D] Android Cowboy:
This summer I switched from my Evo 3D to GS3. I flashed stock software back on before not using it anymore. Now I want to give it to a friend and turn it back on. Unfortunately none of the radios are working. WiFi won't turn on and neither will bluetooth. Anyone has any ideas or suggestions to get at least WiFi working. It's currently on Android 4.03, HTC sense 3.6, baseband 1.06.00.1216. Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
That's the current ICS version of Android but the baseband level is from a GB build. The cleanest way to install the firmware is to flash the RUU.exe from here. If the phone is S-ON you will need to make sure the bootloader is locked/relocked before flashing it.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] Android Cowboy:
I'm definitely S-ON. So this will also update the kernel as well? I used to use flash image gui for flashing S-ON. Can I still do that for this RUU.exu
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Since you are S-ON the phone will be 100% stock after flashing the RUU.exe except for the bootloader being "relocked" instead of "locked". If you are planning to root again after flashing the RUU you can just use steps 1 and 2 of my guide, or go all the way through step 3 to S-OFF if that's something you want.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] Android Cowboy:
Okay I'm all good now. Relocked the phone then ran the RUU and radios are working. Thanks.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] GlenniBoy:
Hey Guys!

This thread is basically there to announce, that i will stop with baby modding ;)

There are a few things i will tell you :)

1st: I will STOP with develop UMX-Android for CM7!

2nd: I will recreate UMX-Android COMLETELY new!

3rd: UMX-Android will be based on "OWN COMPILED CM9"!

4th: It's my first try to compile, so don't be afraid if everything takes longer than planned!

5rd: UMX-Android won't be based on this Colorful theme from now on!

A few answers to the questions you might ask:

"Why do you stop development with CM7?"

-Because CM7 get's old, a little bit to old for me personally...

"Why don't you develop with CM10 or CM10.1?"

-Because i have the felling, that when android gets a version higher, it needs 50mb more ram to work fine! I will !!!TRY!!! to tune up CM9 so heavy, that it will be as smooth as jelly bean on SII or something like that(not really but i try to get it as fast as i can...). As well there are no official 4.1 OMX libs for armv6, even with good porting, i'm afraid that everything will not work as nice as official ;)

"That's again any from these phrases which you tell us everyday..."

-No, i will stop with this baby modding, and if i'm to dummy to compile a at first booting up rom, i will stop with develop completely(maybe :D )

If you got more questions, just ask ;) i will tell you everything about my plans ;) more infos will come in this hread soon :)
