[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSMB:
I really wanted to work this out myself but my time is very limited, I do not have access to a PC so don't want to risk bricking, and I've already spent many hours searching answers and downloading files. I need a working phone ASAP and it's not easy finding a spare in my current situation.

My phone died (battery) while active as hotspot. I replaced battery and now it won't detect ANY sim card (sim cards verified to work). Upon attempting to access mobile network settings: "Insert sim card to access network services".

Also, I'm not sure if it's related or not, but IMEI number is "unknown".

I'm really hoping it's a software/firmware corruption issue that I can fix.

I have tried the following:

Replacing sim

Fight mode

Restarting

Combinations of the above 3

Wiping SD card

Factory reset

Reflashing CF-root kernel via CWM (I think it worked but reboots before I can read log).

Now I want to try flashing a custom ROM. I have CWM installed and I was going to install CyanogenMod. I am aware of how to do this, but...

- I read that attempting to flash a JB ROM over a gingerbread kernel can cause an issue and that I may need to flash a JB kernel before installing cyanogenmod. Is this true? And if so, where can I find out what kernel to flash. I've seen lists, but I see all these numbers and names which don't really mean anything to me. Is there a stock JB kernel that would be suitable, or is any KB kernel fine?

- Does installing a custom ROM like CM not flash it's own custom kernel? Because I don't understand why having a gingerbread kernel should potentially cause issues.

- Is there anything that installing a custom ROM like CM doesn't flash (apart from bootloader)?

- Should I just flash a stable gingerbread CM ROM instead?

I appreciate any info

Cheers

[edit]

I also flashed modem. Problem persists.

At op do you have a efs bk up?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Flashing anything without a PC nearby is lunacy/asking for trouble. If something goes even slightly wrong, you won't be fixing it without one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H3llwar:
The problem is the unknown IMEI because the phone gets identified my this unique number. If its lost, SIM-Cards won't work. If you made an EFS Backup, it should be easy to recover the IMEI. But if you didn't...it will be nearly impossible.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSMB:
Thanks for the info. However I have flashed multiple modems and phone is still nit detecting sim. IMEI still missing.

I'd never heard of backing up the EFS before yesterday, so unfortunately I don't have one with IMEI. I think I have a nandroid backup at home somewhere, would this have a backup of the EFS/IMEI?

If I had it written down, would that allow recovery of EMEI?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Some roms bk up to efs folder so looking in to your sd card you may have one. Flash the nand if not it may restore it. May not though. Worth trying. Have you tried to flash gb firmware with odin as this has for some got it bk.

I9100/I9300
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSMB:
If I have a backup it will be on my PC or a HDD on the other side of the planet. But I will indeed look for it when I can. I'm fairly confident I would've done a full backup before I flashed a CF root kernel via Odin when I originally rooted the phone.

And no I haven't tried to flash gingerbread firmware via Odin. I don't have access to a PC. But I did flash the CF root kernel via CWM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Your gonna need to look and hope your have mate or service center job. Local phone shop could prob do it to.

I9100/I9300
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSMB:
Fixed. Thanks stopro.

The phone was deteriorating. Apart from not detecting sim cards, it somehow lost su access. Even though I would allow access it would fail (issue with system/xbin/su). I couldn't even connect to WiFi anymore.

Flashed Dorimanx kernel 9.39

Flashed latest CM 10.2 nightly

Flashed GApps

Flashed modem

Wiped cache and Dalvik cache 2x each

Did a data wipe/factory reset

Booted

All working fine. IMEI number is displayed correctly. WiFi connected immediately (could not successfully obtain IP address before). I had to re unlock my phone to use a different carrier sim (I unlocked it before leaving Australia, but that flashing must've relocked it). Now it is connected to 3G with which I am posting this reply.

Not really digging this JB style, but hopefully I'll get used to it. Happy I've got phone all working properly though.

another way to do this is to acctully just rename/remove the (in the case of pattern lock) gesture.key in /data/system

with this u dont need to apply any random lock pattern(as it COMPLETELY removes it), and switches to whatever the rom's default is (usually slide), it was something tricky for me to learn when i added this feature to my app (as i tried to first implement ways to include the 3 hit apps at the time for when my app does, of remote CMD/terminal, remote shutdown, and remote unlock (lockscreen removal), and i started from those and worked my way up =), i havent been developing on my app in a while since im thinking of better methods to use the things for non-root experiences (tho needs to be installed in custom recovery to be a system-app), but i shared that code cause its from that app, that IS open-source on my github =), if u want to see more methods similiar to this feel free to look on SMS Tasks on my github from my profile, i also have other things that could be usefull in other APK projects =)

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Mvmajorem:
Almatrodi,

He only thing you can do since it maybe the smallest font is to change the setting on your contact list. Better for you to open up Contacts, go to Tools and then Options. After this, put a check mark on view names only. I had the same problem with Arab Names because they are so long and so many. This is the only way I got through it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Almatrodi:

[Micromax A116] konnorrigby:
As many people have pointed out, this isn't full source. There has yet to be a "release" of FULL source yet. There are a lot of kernel stuff around, but kernel isn't a problem at this time because mediatek and its vendors are fairly good about upgrading kernel. What I and many others want is the missing Android build end of the source. Even Sony didn't release this piece. There is a list of whats missing in the sauce. They have a script that packages the stuff that will build only a kernel and it pulls out the MediaTek crap. look in

16.0.A.0.36/mediatek/build/android

to see what i mean. its just a basic skeleton but no actual android stuff. CD into tools and you'll see the script

filter.py

has a list of all the sources they wont release. So when people say stuff like "FULL SOURCE FOR MEDIATEK" look into it first. AFAIK MediaTek has never released this source to anyone but its partners. IE: sony, zte, cubot, etc. Sony may have released the most complete source, they havent released all of it. And i dont think anyone ever will. I've sent MediaTek countless emails and have never recieved a response. Anyway this source is a good start if someone wants to look into overclock(which i dont believe is possible at this time with the source we have) but again i havent looked at it yet. but i digress.
[Micromax A116] Strider_RD:

Mithun's Rom Switcher

[YOUTUBE]7CBmqNYV5jM[/YOUTUBE]

This is a Mod which allows you to switching between Timescape and any AOSP based rom.

It's only for advanced users and I am not responsible if your XZ get bricked or transform into a monster and eat up your cat

It is still in alpha state, but is working for daily use

Before you install this, please read the whole post!

Your first rom is Stock Timescape and second rom is any AOSP rom.

The second rom is installed on the /cache partition.

/data and /cache folders for second ROM is in /data/dual/

This Mod switches between two kernels.

For Timescape you can use any kernel, for AOSP you have to use my modified CM kernel.

Why I created this Mod?

fusion3 devices haven't got a multiboot option like this

Default kernel for Timescape is DooMKernel,

if you want to use another kernel, replace fiirst.img in /sdcard/romwitcher/ with your favorite kernel.

Sources:

https://github.com/RomSwitchers

OUR APP IS CLOSED SOURCE

How to install?

You can use any AOSP rom!

First Install stock ROM .ftf and root it

Then Flash DooMKernel

Download any AOSP rom. Extract it and open META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

replace this line

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system");

with this wherever u see it

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache", "/system");

then delete these lines

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "0", "/system");

and

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot");

You will need Gapps

Get it here http://goo.im/gapps/

Extract it and open updater-script

and replace

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

with

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache", "/system");

Zip your rom and gapps.

Flash both in recovery. (first rom then gapps)

DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING

Reboot your phone and if you did all correct. You should boot into your Timescape Stock rom.

Now download and install my app

Download my app here

Open ROMSwitcher and follow the instructions. It will fetch required files automatically

NOTE: Currently Recovery works on Stock ROM only

That's all have fun :)
