Sleep of Death is when your phone shuts itself while in deep idle mode ;).

For me was happening every night, so even though i had the alarm set up it won't woke me up as phone was switched off.

Though it was battery but battery was fully charged, did some research and found out that it might be a rom issue.

So i've flashed a stock one, no Sleep of Death so far :)

Why re-partition ? Good question :)

I've followed guide found on a Polish forum.

Re-partition will wipe all partitions rigth ? And all data on it, so for fresh install re-partition sounds like a good idea for me ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
Finally rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
Meh... I expected CWM to be able to read/write from/to the internal sd card... Because I have a tiny external one.

Can we do basic changes with root explorer like bootanimation through Root explorer

Problems, my ROM wouldn't install due to an incompatible updater script.. What I have to do is create a backup flashable zip through CWM, that would have a working updater script... Problem is my microsd card is really small, backup always fails... Have to get a new bigger card.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
Huge thanks to k2wl for adding kitchen support for our device i9105p ... which means we can easily get a working updater script made by kitchen.

Thanks buddy :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] ptothej:
Do you have a link to the kitchen ? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
Well, yes. But there are bugs I need to fix,
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] parimal_ajudiya:
Hope it fixed soon :)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
please port it to stock rom

it'd look better

oh btw lol if you really successfully port it

i'd consider rooting again

:P

i still love my warranty LOL
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] OurJerry:
OKe guys, I send a message to xda forum for our own subforum, it's so hard to keep track of all the threads. I hope they will help us.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
Who exactly do you mean by 'xda' ?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
Updated the thread with a FAQ :)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
The Galaxy Grand just got a forum... and here we are... in the Miscellaneous section. Ouch.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] OurJerry:
yes i think people should contact xda with all the progress we are seeing. I can't keep track of these threads.

we need a forum
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
Who did you contact exactly? The person.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] OurJerry:
from the contact us link somewhere.

Hello ! One good friend got an Samsung I9105P from Orange. She wants to unlock it and i would like to try to help . U know any app that can unlock ? like GalaxSim Unlock for S2 simple ?

Thank u in advance !
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
I have no idea of unlocking to be honest. Simply because I never bought a locked device...
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] skulim:
Did you try to put different operator SIM? I have S2+ from orange (poland) - t-mobile works as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] ptothej:
If there is no app there is always a way, like contacting Orange and saying that you want to unlock your phone they will charge extra money for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] warface123:
I've a unlocking method on my pc.

Will give it to you if I'm back from school ;)\

Its working on every Phone.

But you must be on stock rom and rooted.

So tell him to download a Pre-rooted firmware.

I've school until 14:30 +2 GMT time.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] ptothej:
Can you PM all the details, when back home ?

I'm on stock rom and rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] warface123:
Yeah sure ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] SilviuMik:
Waiting too :) Thank u in advance !
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] warface123:
Make sure your phone is running stock ROM, but is retted. Use terminal emulator and type the following codes:

- su

- Cat / dev/block/bml5> / sdcard/bml5.img

- Exit (2x)

On your SD card if it is true that a file called bml5.img. Open it on your PC with a hex editor (eg XVI32 Hex Editor) and locate the following combination:

FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30

This combination occurs several times and gives an 8 digit code (right). Make a note of this code. Insert a SIM card that does not work on your Gio. You will be asked for a code. Enter the 8 digit code and ready.

BTW this is for Galaxy Gio but I should work on every device
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] OurJerry:
Yes I got a message that he will send it to the forum admin.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] psg:
there is no bml5.img for i9105, and this method not working for sgs2 plus

Huh weird :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] BergischerJong:
Hi everybody,

my wife got a new I9105P this week. Have anyone the same problem to select/apply an own ringtone from the internal SDCard\Ringtones? They are not mentioned in the shortlist even if I try to apply them manually by using the add button? Any suggestion???
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] ptothej:
Is your phone rooted ?

It should be if you want to use custom ringtone, otherwise you'll have to user app like Zedge or something similiar

Ringtones should be in system/media/audio/ringtones or system/media/audio/notifications and they should be in obb format.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] BergischerJong:
Yes I am. I've allready ported them into the correct folder in the system. Than it works. But I'm just wondering why it's so completely different as on my GT-I9100. There I can drop the files (either mp3 or mid) into the folder sdcard\ringtones and than they will be shown and be selectable in the Tone settings. Can it be that you only can select your own rintones if you're rooted?? And why is there a file created by the original rom on the sdcard, which is also called "Ringtones", even if you're not rooted??
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
Just a warning guys. Recently a new firmware AMD1 was released and the country is China. DO NOT FLASH IT. Many users with other devices have previously hard bricked their devices flashing China firmware. Over and out :)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] danyal241:
Sure pm me...
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
Mine is amd2 is it dangerous?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
Not that I know of. It's not the firmware version, it's the country. China firmwares have been causing hard bricks for other devices, as long as you don't flash a china firmware, it'll be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
It's Hong Kong so it's fine LOL
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] SilviuMik:
Still looking for a way to unlock S2+ . Anyone else ? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
I believe your carrier should be able to unlock it for you for a small fee. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
Alright... so I liked the S4's lockscreen, a lot... and I thought I wanted it on my S2P :D

So I started earlier today... Here's where I got so far...

http://i.imm.io/16xMU.png

Of course I still need to make adjustments to make it lower and to the far left along with the date as well... Also going to enable 5 lockscreen shorcuts. Nothing much but it's something :)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] OurJerry:
It's beautiful Panda
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
No offense

Where's the difference?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
None taken :)

So far I've just remade the clock digits from scratch to match those from the S4, still have to do some more tinkering, as I said, it's nothing much yet.

Hello i'm trying to build a rom but I can not zipalign

I use kitchen and get the error

Error: Unable to zipalign, aborting

and something about a zip file
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
This is because kitchen probably attempted to zipalign the CSC folder... Try going to yourromfolder/system and copy the CSC folder to another directory, then delete it, and try building the ROM again... and in the end, readd the CSC folder to the built zip.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] ptothej:
What's the exact error ?

that "and something about a zip file" is really important bit ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] OurJerry:
ok I fixed that by starting cygwin as admin

now i build the rom, but i get a status 0 in cwm and cannot install the rom
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
This might be caused by one (or both) of two things:

1. You didn't download the compatibility file

2. You didn't convert the update-script to an updater-script
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] OurJerry:
I downloaded the compatible .tar file and placed it in the folder

I did convert it to edify

I'm trying again will update soon

I did the cache.img step this time, I don't know if it helps, it didn't zipalign right, the extra samsung apk's because most of them are 0 bytes and probably not a real apk, so I removed that folder, I left the other things and my rom is now 1 gig big, before it was 400 mb

I'm sending the file to my external sd card now to install

will update soon
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
No, no. I mean the compatibility file, in the ROM cooking tutorial in the first page of this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] OurJerry:
[MENTION=5151330]panda00[/MENTION]

ok now i got passed the status 0 and got a status 7

it says:

format() expects 5 args, got 2

I think it's from the cache.img thing, but don;t know for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
May I know how cache.img is related to ROM cooking?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] OurJerry:
Thank you [MENTION=5151330]panda00[/MENTION] I did install it just fine now, it was the compatible file.

But it didn't boot, stuck before the bootscreen, just the samsung i9105p text, no bootscreen.

Maybe it has something to do with me disabling the boot sounds but I don't know.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
If you've decompiled any APK files and recompiled them with an error, you are bound for a bootloop.

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] s2+user:
Hi S2+ users,

I just registered at XDA today for voting, ask questions and exchange here :D

In the last days I read and learned a lot based on the information from this site :good:

So I already took the stock rom from Samsung and pre rooted it like alexyuh did. Next thing I wanna try is to deodex the stock rom and change something in cache.img (exclude the apps) :eek:

1. Question

Did anyone of you already repackage a cache.img by any chance? Can I just delete the apps, edit txt files and/or MANIFEST.MF and repackage that again to sec_csc.zip, add md5 and use it?

2. Question

Had some problems with deodexing (used xUltimate-v2.4.2 and latest stable version of bak-/smali. Here are two screens of the problematic apps:

Should those two apps just be ignored/skipped or is it necessary to fix the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
I'll tag [MENTION=4425080]alexyuh[/MENTION] here, because I simply never attempted to tamper with system in its system.img state... He's more experienced ;)

If you're simply trying to cook a ROM, use the method in the first page... I think it's simpler, has nothing to do with cache.img either :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] efray:
did you try it and can we add it to the original rom

Any news on the multiwindow mods?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:

Guys it's about stock Rom

I was changing from one protective case to another one and it shut itself down

I mean the phone

And during lesson I turned it on

After school. I pressed the buttons, it's off. Tried powering it on

It turns on

So it's not sleep of death

Anyone face this too? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] doctor_droid:
Same here

I was on a call. .. when the call ended... the phone shut itself without any animation. .. had to remove battery and reinsert it to switch it on... bt this happen only once...

I was on pure stock wid several apps installed along wid avast antivirus
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
I had this problem too

But I can just power it on without unplugging the battery
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] juupi:
I have almost the same problem. My device freezes or reboots itself sometimes, approximately two times a week.

Then I have to reboot device by pressing the power button for about five seconds.

I have had this issue on every rom I have tested so far; stock rom, prerooted rom, cyanogenmod (cwm)...

Btw panda, will your lock screen mod work with cyanogenmod?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
No.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] doctor_droid:
Okay to be more accurate. ..

Had this problm on the fw that was inside when I purchased this..

Since then I had two ota updates and currently on xamc2 and no such problm..

Only problm is long time is required for charging phone (probably psychological as my last phone had rapid charging)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
I recommend AMC2 for everyone.. smoothest and most stable in my opinion.. and charging is fairly fast.

Sent from my GT-I9105P
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] doctor_droid:
No doubt abt stability ... its 10 times more stable than my xu was...

Only thing I feel is that I should have gone for exynos variant...

Still confused ... hehehe...
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
Still the same thing which is in my way of rooting and flashing rom: I have to follow annoying procedures to get my warranty back

Next time I'd just buy a Google phone, then I wouldn't need to root my phone for that beautiful user interface LOL
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
I don't really care for my warranty much... My binary counter is at 11 or 12 already.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] doctor_droid:
Just two questions

Can this binary counter be reset to 0?

And what happens if I have a very high binary counter?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
Triangle Away can reset the counter back to 0. But if you have a flash counter over 127... The binary counter will become negative when resetting with Triangle Away, making it look awkward.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] doctor_droid:
127 is a high figure...

Guess I wont reach it as we dun have much of roms to flash...

Still waiting for separate forum...:/ feeling like a nomad currently. ..

Samsung is way too different from sony.. now I need to learn again :/ and ask questions which will make me look stupid..

Have u tried

adb backup -all

Not working wid mine.. it just doesnt do anything
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] skulim:
Panda... is there any chance you would prepare some sort of instruction for "reseting" phone - lets say before sending it to warranty service?

ps. thanks for the work you made already!
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
All done. Check the OP. Please note that I am yet to try Triangle Away, but [MENTION=4425080]alexyuh[/MENTION] reported it working...
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
As per my understanding, the only thing that's stopping the administrators from awarding this device a separate forum is the lack of contributions. I can see their point to be honest.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] doctor_droid:
Well nvidia project shield has a separate forum

How much contribution it is having??

There are forums such as developer special or moderator boards etc..

Which are purely blank..

There are devices that have forum which have almost no development. .I mean original development. .bt have a separate forum as they are considered to b popular..

As I said earlier... both grand and s2 plus can b allocated a single forum thanks to similar soc.. bt I dun understand what is taking so long...
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
A device that doesn't get much media attention (unlike S4 and HTC One for example) will not just get a forum before some contributions are seen. Same thing happened with the Grand... people contributed, ROMs were cooked, themes were made. They got a forum.... meanwhile here........

guys i'm still stuck on the "get pit for mapping" while flashing the cwm onto my phone

so should i include the pit file when flashing?

would it help go through this stage? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
No, no pit file is required. Did you follow the guide step by step? Did you run Odin as administrator? Did you completely close Kies? Did you choose PDA in Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
i uninstalled kies

and all the others steps were right
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
guys if i include pit while flashing cwm

would i get brick?

and btw

what does pit actually do?

"PIT files appear to be used by Odin to map filenames inside .tar archives to STL partitions."

saw this on xda

so do i need to use to pit?

cause it really worth a try when it says get pit for mapping..

btw what is re-partition?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] ptothej:
Flashing rom via odin is simple and all needs to be done is put the tar file into PDA and that's it may include pit file csc file and other bits.

but if you have a single tar file you need to put to PDA DO NOT mark repartition. Just marked auto reboot and f time reset.

If you are getting stuck or getting error messages repeat the process step by step.

Make sure samsung drivers are installed, kies must be closed down (process killed in task manager) and ODIN ran as administrator.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
Switching back to AMB9 dammit. AMC2 is just simply messed up.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] doctor_droid:
Any particular problm u faced in amc2 ? I too have the french model ...
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
There are missing strings.... i.e. it gives a hundred errors when recompiling any APK.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
Also, some text appears in Russian, like when connected to USB, the message in the status bar. AGAIN due to untranslated strings.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] doctor_droid:
Strange, I have no status bar issue..

I did tried apk decompiling... bt unfortunately I always have some error related to java.. I manually tried setting path to java still have java issues.. tried both sdk and jre and its combo..

Even virtuous ten studio gives me java error...:/

Apktool wid gui tells me I have net framework 4 installed although I have 4.5 ..so It just keeps on running. .

So I ultimately quitted.. thanks to idiotic upgrade to win8..:(

in your internal SD card, not in any folder

tnx
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:

you know i am always stuck at get pit for mapping

now i wanna give up

everything is still stock, it still shows official and the counter is 0

but still, would it be affected when i receive a firmware update? like can't install properly? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:

No... that would make matters worse.

On the bright side, the apktool problem was fixed thanks to some guys from the apktool thread. :D
