Disable sim pin, be sure flight mode is off and lock mode is on (in case you are using your Rom), either through adb or a terminal emulator try (get the .bin file from any old nandroid backup) :

su

chmod 755 /efs/nv_data.bin

chown radio.radio /efs/nv_data.bin

reboot

Enable SIM pin, reboot again.

If this doesn't work, with any explorer go to

efs/imei/

Create a new file named "keystr"

Open it with a text editor and write "ON" inside

Save it

Change permissions to

xxx

xxx

xxx

Reboot.

Best of luck, I'm pretty sure you'll make it at the end.

Blue would you mind making a list with what you've tried so far and in which Rom are you on at the moment? So we can narrow it down.

Edit :

Is there a chance since your phone has been repartitioned, the boot file is now written to the wrong place?

Hi everyone! I still have the 22.1.0 and I guess it's time to update.

I've found this version really stable, so I would like to get a "rock solid" update. Right now I'm downloading the 22.2.0-rc1, should be this one the rom that I'm looking for?

I guess this would be a normal update, so no wipe-data, right?

And I everytime got confused about gapps. Should I download the one for the CM 10.1.x (first of the list)?

Thanks in advance! Keep up the good work!

1. Flash Modem

2. Run GetRIL

2. Flash Rom

3. Flash Kernel

Just wondering, I installed the nightly yesterday and love it. Only thing strange is near the bottom of the screen seems dead to touch. For example on the keyboard I hit the space button right near the bottom and on this rom I have to push it higher up. I find I'm missing the space a lot when typing because of this. It's not just swiftkey, it's anytime I try to touch near the bottom. Is there anyway to change the touch zone? Otherwise I love this rom!

Yeah, because the mail changes are in kernel. If you change the kernel you lost all of the mali changes.

To use the new mali changes you need to stay on the stock kernel or wait the update of the custom kernels.

May I know how u test ur GPS?

For me, when I on JUST the GPS without wireless & mobile network location service, it took very long (sometimes cant even) to lock GPS. But, when I on BOTH the GPS and mobile network location, it took just 10 sec to fix my location.

Also, I realized something funny. The messaging and missed call icon at the status bar kept flashing slowly. The effect is like BLN. Its 'breathing'. Anyone has this strange issue too?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] alinawyx:
Alternatively, you can just change the colors for (all) status bar icons in hybrid properties > global colors > status icon color. Or by individual apps.

Nope.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] GoJo ^^:
I don't remember how was 22.1 but v23 and all the following nightly will get you sudden reboot even 10 hours or less, if not then SOD.. But well maybe people don't consider this as unstable..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Enrichman:
lol, that's why I asked. I've read about the reboot.

So I guess I should go for the 22.2.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] olarf:
I can not confirm this. I use my phone all day long and have maybe one reboot in a week and this happen when I do something in a app, not spontanously. Stuff like that happens also on official Sammy ROM and its a result of a open source plattform with using apps from many different sources.

So I can highly recommended v23! Just the nightlys 26 and later are strange but this is a known issue. There will be also a new stable release very soon.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Shanliang-:
I've used v23 and some nightlies after it. I'm currently in nightly 07.16 and none of these installs have given me sudden reboots or SOD. I'm using lots of apps and even in most cases I haven't performed clean installs. I can vouch for stability. Goja, eventually you will find the source of your phone's issue, as yours might be a particular case. So, I wouldn't be nice to generalize.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GoJo ^^:
You're generalizing as much as I do. I'm no particular case, many people had this going on for quite some time. No such problem before 4.2

I've tried all I could in my side. I'm guessing people who don't have that issue are the one installing very little amount of apps.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] spankymo:
you're using another kernel, right? if so, I suggest that you stick with the stock PAC kernel for a while and see if you still get sods and reboots. dorimanx kernel is known to cause sods if you don't know what you're doing with it (oc, uv, weird cpu gov combinations, etc).

Dos todays milestone need a full wipe (yes I know its always recommended) or is it worth to try a dirty flash ( what I did since v23 for all night lies without any problems).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] o0boiboi0o:
actually this is totally up to you. as long as u are staying with the same rom, be it nightly or stable release, you can just dirty flash. of cos, clean install is recommended but if anything goes wrong with dirty flash, naturally u will have to do clean install also. so no diff with me. its solely your way of doing. :D

My friend got same situation with Note 2. No IMEI bla bla bla... Then he went to local service shop and flashed phone through "box" and flashed original imei and sn on phone...

I think that all the others will agree with me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] olarf:
There is one permission manager in the settings (top of last section) which block apps from doing anything but this also stop several apps from working. There is another privacy guard option which you find in the app manager in every app once you open it there. This one send fake / empty information to the app so most apps run fine.

I add screenshots in the next post
