[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mechanity:
Alright, so I've looked up at least 20 solutions to my error and it seems to be a common one but none of the solutions have worked for me so far.

My phone doesn't have any bars and says emergency calls only. Before, when I booted up the phone it would have the signal for 2-3 seconds before disappearing so I could receive text messages through that, but it doesn't even do that anymore.

Things I've tried:

Wiping Dalvik Cache

Factory Reset, wiping cache, dalvik cache

Restoring the /efs folder (This just resulted in getting a generic IMEI and replacing my old one, so I think my backup is messed up but I don't have any other backups to use. Yes, I renamed nv_data.bak to nv_data.bin and same with the md5 files.)

Using someone else's efs.img to restore my own via kTool, to no avail. The IMEI is still generic.

Flashing Jellybean 4.1.2 (I'm currently on CM10.1) with SLIGHT chance. When I used 4.1.2, I could see the bars of signal (3-4) but I still could only make emergency calls, and I couldn't connect to the network.

Using this method to restore my nv_data.bin: Link

Using GSII_Repair

Using this method: I was able to complete it successfully, but I still am seeing "emergency calls only": Link

Using this method: Link

I can't find CSC since I can't dial anything except to find IMEI, but the baseband version is LS8, but in the IMEI folder the mps_code.dat file reads as XEU. Should those be matching?

Also I believe my backup EFS isn't working because the dates of nv_data.bin and nv_data.bak are the same, both dated from 2011. I didn't do all these steps in that order, but I'm not sure what to do since I don't have any other backups.

I have NOT tried wiping /system manually but I'm not sure what this would achieve and I don't know what I would flash if I did.

Please help, I'm desperate and in no financial condition to buy a new phone. Thanks to all in advance.

Flash stock rom,i tried this many times.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mechanity:
Sorry, I forgot to state that I already tried this too. Didn't help, and I wiped /system this time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mechanity:
Alright, so the phone has gone back to letting the signal appear for a second. I'm thinking the problem is that the generic IMEI is just blocked by my carrier (I'm on T-Mobile in the USA) because I was able to test my SIM in another phone today and it was fine.

Obviously I don't expect anyone to tell me how to change my IMEI since that's illegal, but are there any more miraculous efs-restoring methods? I'm willing to do anything at this point, besides visit a service center or pitch my phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mechanity:
This will probably be my last update, sorry for bumping but I'm really hoping someone will see this and either give me a miraculous solution or tell me to give up.

I've heard from a few posts that flashing Gingerbread fixed the IMEI somehow, sadly this did not work for me. What I'm wondering now is if I take it to a service center how much it will cost, because they don't sell i9100's in the US, I bought this as an unlocked phone and it has already been rooted. Will they even attempt to fix it, and can it be done? I don't see any other option.

Someone please reply, I at least need to know if I should give up or not and if this can be fixed at all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I'm fairly certain you're in the wrong forum. What model number from the sticker on the phone chassis under the battery ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mechanity:
No, it's definitely a Samsung Galaxy SII i9100 and this is the i9100 forum. My problem here is that yes, this is an i9100, which is the International version of the SII. I bought this off of eBay, used, from overseas. They don't really use this version in America (where I currently reside), we have the SGH models. Should I take this to my service provider (T-Mobile) or a Samsung service center, and will they even fix it after it's been rooted, the IMEI changed, and the fact that it's not an American phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
They'll probably fix it but charge you an arm & a leg for it. Better off finding a local mobile repair shop with a RIFF box, will likely be much cheaper.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mechanity:
Thanks for the advice! So I'm guessing there aren't any miraculous fixes or any other methods I can try then? :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
There are unfortunately no miracles in technology. If you've tried all the things in OP (good job persevering) then I'm afraid it's local mobile shop as MistahBungle said.

im trying to find my insecure kernel on xda or any other website for that matter, does anyone have the inscure to my kernel? i have the s2 with kernel XXLS8 anyone have the insecure for that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
That's because XXLS8 is JB 4.1.2, and Chainfire hasn't developed insecure kernels for JB. :)

Look for Philz kernels instead. Or you can use Siyah v6 too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Because you're in too much of a hurry to do whatever it is you want to do to your phone without learning how to do it first. If you'd done that, you'd know what you were told by the previous poster & wouldn't have needed to post this thread.

But, eh, knock yourself out. If you want to break your shiny toy, don't let me stop you.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] LumpiStefan:
Have you turned off USB for activesync? This may be an problem.....

Entering bootloader without usb cable connected should bring ub serial on your display of the jam.....

Connectiong to the USB should change this to USB.

My mdac is blocked in bootloader mode, change from serial to usb when i connect it to the pc, but when i type d2s on romupgrade the screen turn off... There is a way to make an upgrade without have a backup of old rom? By Mgupgrade_noid.exe noway...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaurdjatixa:
I forgot to charge my phone the other night so I got my phone at 2% battery and I charged it but it became hot and the battery died. I tried turning it on but it wont turn on. I wont charge either I left it charging for 1 hour it wont charge. I tried using another battery it wont turn on either. I am rooted and I have stock touchwiz with adam kernel. So I dont know If I can send it for warranty. thanks :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadeshmagic:
Well make sure the replacement battery has full charge....and retry ...also insert your battery into another phone and check if its chaging....because usually the phone starts up unless the battery has gone bad....if the phone doesn't switch on...I guess its a hardware issue...which I highly doubt....make sure the wall socket is functional as well....these are little things that could be triggering this...so check everything. ..good luck :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaurdjatixa:
I did. I also inserted my battery into another phone and it booted up, mine wont.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadeshmagic:
Well I'm sorry to say...but there is probably something wrong with an IC inside the phone.....claiming warranty will be tough...but since they can't switch the phone on....they may not question you...really sorry about it
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaurdjatixa:
I sent my phone to samsung diagnosis will be 3 days. goodluck to me. Ive also search my problem on google it seems that many people are experiencing it too after draining the battery

Another beauty!

Hi AndreRaptor!

Thank you for making us fortunate to experience such a lovely rom.

Just installed it over my now favorite rom Liquidsmooth. Got to clear only media data and all other things turned out okay.

This time TB has successfully backup all users 34 apps without a hot boot. All other A9 roms are giving me a hot boot after backing up 24~30 apps.

It seems that long operations have been taken good care in this rom. Free memory is around 170MB. Good. I'll continue for 48 hrs with this rom to check the battery life, performance, lag and that very unwanted SOD!

Thanks again AndreRaptor for your BEAUTIFUL work.

Hello [MENTION=4930586]AndreRaptor[/MENTION],

can you tell me which version of the kernel it is? You say its Lemon kernel, but is this a version of alfrix's Lemon kernel with the latest kernel improvements brought with Dhiru's CM10.1 alpha9? Last time I checked alfrix's google drive, it was still 080813 version of the compiled kernel.

If you compiled a latest version, or if you got a later version, could you give me a download link please? I'd love to use this kernel on Resurrection Remix.

Cheers!

Settings are: CPU: Smartassv2 and IO: SIO and Force GPU rendering is ON.

Early days of my android I used to do a lot of benchmarking. Now a days I don't do it at all. I think benchmarks can not reflect the actual experience of a rom (!) - am I wrong (?) - forget and forgive me.

AndreRaptor, thanks for your hard work and STAY ALIVE.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] CSI.ISC:
Flash it like you flash de FlyOnGB the power of burger. But I guess when you flash the rom first time the CWM get's updated and then reboot to the new recovery. Then you have to flash again to actually install the ROM. Cheers.

HIT THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED YOU :D:highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] CSI.ISC:
The rom performs pretty good. Standard apps work, some arcade or low end games also work, but I have a problem. I'm stuck with stock 1.0 Ghz :crying: and that's pretty unforunate :( . I guess I will go back to my old custom rom, X-GamerZ. Don't get me wrong is a nice touch for those SGS lovers out there. And I have to admit it it looks and fells pretty good but sometimes the rom get's laggy even on a game like Dumb Ways to Die. I don't know if i can OC it but i will try. Cheers :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ezeeyahoo:
I have installed in this fashion

DDLF2->DDMF1->PDA_BCK_CF-root_universal->ROM

I am astonished by the performance, far more than expected. Having said that, few things, I don't know whether they are known or not are as follows:-

1) "Clock(digital) stopped Working"

2) Volume control while playing music doesn't control sound, ostensibly shows indicator bar but no variation

3) Walkman crashing

4) Settings -> Music Effect not opening DSP manager
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Rooks:
Can you please clarify what apps need to be deleted?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AdrianPh:
wi-fi issue

1) wifi won't turn on...

2) apps I believe could be erased:

Iap

memo

paper artist

samsung push service

ac!d sound mod

adobe flash player

angry gps

cento apps

clear audio+

clima (weather)

dolby mobile

movie studio

extensions (wikipedia, lyrics, youtube)

movies

deep sea

samsung apps una2

walkman

is just my opinion, a good rom must be just a essential and a differential from others, everyone else apps is a chosen by each user.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falconsson:
Too slow...

First, IMEI disappeared, thanks to EFS backup I restored it. Second wifi didn't work, I fixed it. The only problem now is the phone is very slow, there is 20 seconds between touch and respond on every application. It says 4 mb of ram free... (Other than that everything else is perfect...)

Any help?

Thank You...

Edit: I did the performance settings too. Not much difference....

Hi,

I need serious help.

I tried to install Vanilla RootBox rom on my Ace 2 NFC (i8160P) CZ.

So i did wipe data, cache, dalvik.

Then i add my Tee folder into rom (tee hack for P version) and i deleted the device model verification from updater-script because it is for non P version.

But when i try to flash the rom via cwm temporary, i stuck at this errors:

But my sdcard is working good (adata microsdhc class10 32GB)

Any solutions?

EDIT: I am using this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2389395 patch but not Version 2, but V1 flashed from CWM. This could be the problem. Or not?

EDIT2: I am doing downgrade with repartition to GB an then flash JB... Nicely Done.. but when i try to flash other ROM, still gets the error. OMFG.

EDIT3: So it looks like i need to repartition or do something with mmcblk0p8 partition but what? OMFG, help me please!!!
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majid92:
...

it seem great problem ask from rom creater i thinck they can help you ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carpe-Dimi:
Supposedly the mmcblk0p8p partition is the internal storage, named UMS --> Usb Mass Storage

So best check if that reads properly in android (file explorer) and/or when u connect it to your computer.

Seeing as your external SD works good and it complains about that too tho, I don't expect your internal SD to be faulty either.

As for the memory fix you flashed, when u reverted back to GB and then re upgraded to JB, was there a param.lfs.md5 file present in the package (assuming u used odin, u should be able to verify this by opening the tar.md5 in 7zip or winrar)

If yes, then any harm caused by the memory fix will have been undone and that isn't the cause either.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ales.sykora:
So, yes it is the USB storage, and its working well too. param.lfs.md5 was there. I dont know what to do now. :( :D
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carpe-Dimi:
you are using the temporary CWM tho right? which needs to be flashed via stock recovery? and stock recovery doesn't complain about your mmcblk0p8 partition?

if this is the case, then you can root the stock rom via stock recovery --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2139263

download this kernel for stock rom --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2171054 -extract the zip and place the kernel.bin.md5 file on the root of your internal sdcard

install any terminal emulator, open it and and enter/type su -click accept when prompted for superuser permissions

with that all done enter "dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15" make no typo's on that one, it's lethal.

If done right, it will replace stock kernel with D kernel. which will contain the same version of cwm as in the temporary cwm zip, but with a bit of luck it will not return the error anymore then :D

if the problem does persist tho, you can also try both touch and regular versions of this kernel -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2424964

extract and rename to kernel.bin.md5, place on internal sd and flash them the same way again via terminal emulator.

there is more hope for this kernel as both versions run different versions of cwm than D-kernel (and eachother), but if this does not solve the problem, you will not be able to boot as that kernel is incompatible with stock rom and you will have to reflash via odin.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ales.sykora:
Ok, Yes I have rooted stock ROM and temporary CWM, so i am going to try the D-kernel. Hope is compatible with P version.

EDIT:I did the steps, and now, succesfully hardbricked :) Lol Checksum was ok, command too. OMFG

PC is showing "U8500 USB ROM" in device manager when I connect the USB cable so.. thanks

mybe there is problem that the kernel is build on the me7 or mf1 software.

EDIT2: LOL i putted battery out for a while and now can go to download mode. But i am at school so now i´ll go home and try odin... AGAIN

EDIT3: I am online again, phone is running well on the stock rooted JB again.. still cannot flash roms, but whatever...
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carpe-Dimi:
Heya, sorry for the lack of response :( I've been a lil busy.

I thought that kernel would work on P version as well tho, sorry about that :crying:

Glad to see that you recovered your phone from that atleast.

Last thing i can think of then is to use this kernel --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2072872

It's built for gingerbread, so your phone will again not boot after flashing, but the 8160Pxxlk3 version will for sure be compatible with your phone, and it has yet another version of CWM you might be able to use for flashing :D

If that doesn't work tho, I really am out of options
