I've had a similar problem where I couldn't get the stock ROM to boot after Odin installed it. I redownloaded the .tar files and I believe I checked the auto reboot in Odin then it worked just fine for me. For some reason whenever I use Odin I have to check auto boot or else I'll have issues even if I'm just installing a recovery.

I've done the above mentioned method to upgrade through kies and it worked once I got the stock ROM to boot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Phateless:
After odin restore, boot into stock recovery and do a data wipe. Then it will boot.

Is there an option to turn off screen animation? I looked in 'Settings' but didn't see anything about screen animation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
It's under the developer options. Tap on the build number 7 times under "about phone" to make it appear, then press the back button once, and it will be the third option up from the bottom under settings. Scroll about 3/4 of the way down, and then look for Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, and Animator duration scale. Set them all to 0.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TU Homer:
My ODIN was set to auto-reboot.

I was able to boot into stock recovery, and I attempted to wipe, but I could not select the option. I could move my volume rocker up and down the menu, but I could not select with my power button. It was very frustrating, and not something I've seen before, since I've used the ODIN method of restoring to stock at least 4 times in the past with not too much trouble. Admittedly, nothing is trouble-free, but this would not quite complete. Honestly, the one component that concerns me is my cable. I have a bunch that charge, but the data connection is blinky. These are $1.50 cables from Amazon I buy by the dozen. I may get a solid cable from somewhere to use for data connections only.

BTW, I got this phone from TMO about 2 months ago. I suspect it is a refurbish, but it's new to me.

In any case, I'm up on the March nightlies, have relatively solid sound for the far-end, and I'm back in business. I may try to ODIN back to stock again in a week, and then upgrade my radio and start all over.

No, i mean when you insert sd card to the phone, you cannot access it. If you save pics or movies on sd card, you cannot play them on your phone because the phone doesnt mount it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
Oh, sorry. No it should mount normally. Now is it not mounting, or can you not see the files on it? CM mounts it differently than Samsung. It won't show under "external_sd". It's under "storage - sdcard1".

I believe there is something wrong with the Bluetooth driver or sound driver. Works well with other kernels. When I first flashed there was no Bluetooth available and would not turn off or on. Something changed in the nightlies.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] new ion?:
Bluetooth is borked, I've been saying it for pages and nobody listens.

Connect your phone to your car or whatever and stream music... You'll see what I'm talking about.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] WaffleBox:
Howdy folks! I've got 2 quick questions.

1. My GPS seems to be having slight issues. In both Google Maps navigation and Sports Tracker (which I use to track my running distance/pace), the GPS seems to lock up every once in a while and stop tracking my movement. After a few seconds it will suddenly detect my new location. This is annoying in Maps because it can make it difficult to know how far away from a turn I am since the map shows me as being in the wrong spot. It is especially annoying when running because it doesn't track the total distance I've run and tells me I am running at a much slower pace than I really am.

2. How do I zoom in the camera?

I'm using the 2-24 nightly if that helps.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] syan8182:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] idtheftvictim:
Well,

I am finally expierincing the no audio in call's issue. I was on 3/1 with no isses, then I flashed 3/4 nightly(not expierimental), and when I booted back up the bluetooth symbl was up at the top(very unusual since it never is). I then went to place a phone call and there was NOTHING. So, I tried to call myself, and I couldn't hear myself from my landline.

I guess I am supposed to flash the Cerux kernel to fix this for now, but I am trying to go back to 3/1 nightly to see if my audio still works in it.

Guess we'll find out.

EDIT: Nope, that still didn't fix it - On to flashing the Cerux kernel

EDIT 2 - Yup, the Cerux kernel fixes the sound issue(even though ya'll already knew that).

Nightly 3/1 is acting weird. It worked very well for 2 days, phone call was very clear. Suddenly, it stops working this morning, i cannot hear any sound from the other callers. When the phone is on out going call, the screen just goes black for 5sec, and the phone freezes a bit. The Calling UI appears after few sec, and no sound at all. I ends up reflash nightly 2/22, which is the most stable nightly imo. Btw, i clean flashed everything, so the problem is not because of dirty flash.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chefp:
The microSD card shows up for me under /storage/sdcard1 running 2-26 Nightly. Do you mean this has broken in a newer nightly?

What's confusing is that there is a directory named /external_sd which is of course empty. CM should remove that since it's not being used. It only confuses people and causes alot of thrash in the forums.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
I think he means his is not showing at all. If you go to settings and look at the storage, it should show there no matter what, but it's not. I think it's time to try a different card to see if it shows. I'm on 3/4 EXP, and it shows for me as normal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Alarmmy:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Primus76:
For those with no audio post 0226, 2 of us have been working with TeamChopsticks today and in my case the only way to get audio after 0226 was to do a full factory reset. No amount of wiping (system, cache, dalvik, etc) worked except for factory reset. I was able to make calls (also toggle noise suppression) even after a reboot on stock kernel + 0304 exp.

Xindc tried the same as I did but after a reboot he lost voice calls.

I've since reverted to my 0226 backup to continue testing tomorrow with the team but something to try is to factory reset and install 0304. Please try a reboot after a test call to see if the audio stays good.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
I did do that too (Factory reset). I was able to place a call, and sound seemed like it was back and ok, but after reboot I lost it all again.

No problem with this new nightly. Used cmupdater. Rebooted twice. Had Bluetooth issue with other previous version. Reboot resolved it. This time just rebooted twice. No issues so far.

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

Cmupdater's own update process uses files under external_SD. However cmupdater downloads nightly to interval sdcard. I have to manually copy nightly to external_SD in order to use cm update.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KaneHusky:
Just wanted to add my input about the "no audio" issue:

I updated from the 0222-nightly (which has given me the best battery life to date) to the 0304-Experimental-M2 build via TWRP after downloading it via the CM updater (this was a dirty flash). While still in recovery, I wiped cache/dalvik and fixed permissions (just for the heck of it) before rebooting. Once it settled in I disabled noise suppression, closed phone then re-enabled noise suppression. I've tested and confirmed that I do have audio on both ends, at least for now.

Things to note:

I did update my phone from stock Gingerbread to stock ICS via Kies way back when ICS was officially released. I'm pretty sure I followed that update by flashing CWM recovery via Odin then flashing DARKSIDE.EVOLUTION.3 v8 via recovery and ran that for a while. I just started flashing CM10 nightlies back in November and I've been updating every other week or so since then. I don't think it matters, but may be worth mentioning that I switched to TWRP after I started flashing CM. My point in saying all of this is that I've technically already done the "long method" of getting audio to work that was mentioned back on page 106.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
OK after three reboots, and one complete shut down, I have great sound on both ends (made a call after each reboot and shut down). Losing signal must have been a fluke after the one reboot. All is OK for me now with the new stock kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] talmeida:
The stock kernel does fix the audio bug
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jwcurry83:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
nobody should be dissuaded from trying the newest M series build. I am not having any issues at all. ADB works, data works, back light notification works, phone calls sounds fine, and build seems stable.

I wiped system, data, cache and dalvik via the latest twrp. Then I flashed the ROM and gaaps simultaneously and rebooted after another cache and dalvik wipe.

Works fine. I cant understand why there is so much complaining in this thread. People having issues are probably doing something incorrectly.

I've done everything you did. Call sound just won't work on some phones. It's a kernel issue, and is being worked out. I agree with the rest. The M release is awesome. Plus I actually like the other kernel. You can overclock it to 1.8.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Don't know what's going on. Both official CM and PMTR3s won't let me hear phone calls. It takes seconds for the call timer to finally start and when it does I hear nothing. When someone calls and I pick up, I hear nothing. Tried different radios and whatnot. Really don't know what's going on. As soon as I flash anything Touchwiz based I'm back in business. Meh.

Edit: Guess I'm not the only person with this issue flipping back a few pages.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jwcurry83:
So the pages of confirmations on the audio bug wasn't enough for you? Or the fact that the team is already working on a fix?
