Urgent help - Galaxy S2 problems after factory reset

Hello,

I have an unlocked Galaxy S2. A friend of mine, long time ago, took care of its software.

Recently, it often stopped working because the media scanner started working non-stop.

I backed up and made a factory reset. The media scanner problem stopped but I cannot install any apps that I previously had. I can install very few new ones, mostly game apps. Also, occasionally, the phone turns off and immediately on again.

These are the phone details:

Model: GT I9100

Andorid version: 2.3.6

Baseband version: I9100XXKI3

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWLA4-CL900411root@DELLBUILDER01 #2

Build number: GINGERBEAD.XWLA4

As you can see, I haven`t updated it in ages. It doesn`t let me search and install for updates.

Can someone please guide me step by step on how to fix these problems and add the best, latest android version for this phone ?

The site is full of informations and tutorials but being new I find everything quite confusing and intimidating. I really don`t want to ruin the phone completely so please help me. Thank you!!!

So here's the thing, I love the rosewood styleswap on my OP2 but by nature I'm very clumsy and I always drop my phones. Is there a case at all that will fit with the rosewood styleswap cover?

I know, it's kind of moot putting a case on top of the custom styleswaps, but yeah...
[OnePlus 2 Accessories] Waterdroid:
See http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-2/accessories/oneplus-2-case-review-thread-post-case-t3203384. [MENTION=2387088]DustinDep[/MENTION] also uses a custom Styleswap, and he's tested quite a lot of cases already.
[OnePlus 2 Accessories] Theshawty:
I saw his thread. He seems to be using the black apricot and kevlar styleswaps and they don't really add any extra bulk, the rosewood one adds a few millimeters and that's enough to make most cases not fit properly.
[OnePlus 2 Accessories] Troute:
I guess you're going to have to be the guinea pig and test some for the rest of us then :)
[OnePlus 2 Accessories] Waterdroid:
Just tested with my brother's Styleswaps (I bought none myself) and Kevlar and Rosewood add the same extra thickness to the phone. I suppose the same goes for Black Apricot as they're all just a layer with a coating on them. Don't have any cases laying around though, sorry.
[OnePlus 2 Accessories] samir_a:
Hi all style swaps are the same thickness and the cases will fit just fine except for on the side they wont be a snug fit and this is the case with all the cases though Orzly Fusuion fits slight better
[OnePlus 2 Accessories] Waterdroid:
What's your source, do you own any? The Sandstone Black Styleswap is obviously thinner than the other ones. They're all the same in width too, so I don't see how they won't fit snug on the sides either.
[OnePlus 2 Accessories] ghettopops:
I have the rosewood and the Ringke Fusion case which does not fit great with the SwapStyle but better with the Sandstone. I have the Orzly Fusion Bumper on the way.
[OnePlus 2 Accessories] samir_a:
Hi! I have the Aprocot one now but before that i had the rosewood before I returned it, hence I know
[OnePlus 2 Accessories] Theshawty:
This thread can be scrapped, I'm selling my rosewood styleswap.
[OnePlus 2 Accessories] Alaris:
I have the ringke fusion with the black apricot back and it fits good for me.

Edit: By any chance can you reupload the file here? Takes so long to download because it throttles at 25 kbps for me :/

Edit 2: Nvm got it to download fast haha FINALLY ROOT ACCESS!!
[Galaxy S6 General] ham4ever:
u root without tripping knox ?

My knox was tripped before hand. Not sure if it does or not.

[Galaxy S6 General] 0ptimus82:
After following this method I get a bootloop, any idea why and how to correct it?, already tried a factory reset but it doesn´t work, I had to flash stock rom again.

Edit: It happens because I upgraded to the latest 5.1.1 version available last week:

Model	SM-G9208

Model name	GALAXY S6

Country	Taiwan

Version	Android 5.1.1

Changelist	5683207

Build date	Tue, 06 Oct 2015 11:54:52 +0000

Product code	BRI

PDA	G9208ZTU2COJ2

CSC	G9208ZZT2COJ2

So if you get the update alert in your phone DON´T do it, there is no known way to ROOT this new version.

It was not possible to install a previous 5.1.1 version either (G9208ZTU1BOH2), when I try to flash it with ODIN, the phone just displays an error message “SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2 BINARY 1”.

Any Ideas are appreciated.

EDIT:

Finally rooted with xiao1u root method!
[Galaxy S6 General] Dissmeister:
Root works perfectly, but has anybody got TWRP working on 5.1? I've always had unusable touchscreen issues on it so stayed back on 5.0.2 until somebody devs a working build.
[Galaxy S6 General] devbro:
no go. i used the TWRP app to flash all new files.
[Galaxy S6 General] Dissmeister:
So your twrp works perfectly on 5.1 base? If so, could you share it with me?

I've been looking for a twrp that worked on 5.1 without the touchscreen not working. Thanks man
[Galaxy S6 General] 0ptimus82:
Definitely no luck rooting my phone,

Product code	BRI

PDA	G9208ZTU2COJ2

CSC	G9208ZZT2COJ2

The file on first post didn´t work, and 3 days after I rooted (and everything was working perfectly) using this file:

http://pan.baidu.com/wap/album/file...26914354&fsid=128909912720545&adapt=pc&fr=ftw

I get the following error message every time i need root access:

"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is problem! If you upgraded to Android 5.0, you will need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!"

If the phone is restarted or turned off after getting this error message the phone is death, it doesn´t start again.

I tried reflashing the root file, but it didn´t work.

I had to reinstall the stock ROM agan, and waiting for any effective root method for 5.1.1 OJ2 ROM.
[Galaxy S6 General] Dissmeister:
Hey, the same thing happened to me, I was stupid enough to not read this before. I tried the xiao1u method and it works, but it breaks mobile data. Did you get that issue?
[Galaxy S6 General] 0ptimus82:
Not in my case, my data was working perfectly, but problems started to show up 3 days after I rooted it, in the end it didn´t start again.

I haven´t found any other way to root this build yet and I´m still looking for a custom rom with no success.

If you want to give another try to xiao1u file try to disable the setting for "allow Google to regularly check device activity for security problems or warn about potential harm" after a clean ROM install, you can do it going to the GOOGLE SETTINGS app > SECURITY > VERIFY APPS & uncheck Scan For Security Threats.

Please keep us updated, I´ll post if I find any way to solve it.
[Galaxy S6 General] Dissmeister:
Ok you may know this already but I'll post just to let you everybody else know.

DONT UPDATE TO THE LATEST 5.1 OTA. It adds rollback protection to your bootloader, which makes it impossible for you to odin to another build, unless its the same or a future update.

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge/general/psa-odin-5-1-1-t3136151

As for our case, mate, I tried everything so far, the root method given by the OP bootloops on the latest OTA (previous 5.1 firmware on Sammobile is fine) and xiao1u method breaks mobile data for me although root does work perfectly. Funny thing is that if you tried the root by the OP and it got bricked, flashing the xiao1u method on top of it will get it working again, because its just the boot partition.

Atm, I just got sick of Samsung and their cr*p, had the same issues with my old Galaxy S4 with their Exynos. Got the Nexus 6P today and absolutely loving it.

I'll try to work it out sometime soon, if I do manage to get it working (mobile data for me) I'll post the fix here. This device is next to DOA for us as we've just got a couple of few blessed asian devs on it (all thanks to them). Unfortunately it may never be enough. I never got the issue you had, though it was just for last night, can you get into download mode? If so, odin the same firmware again. I used the 5.1 OTA on Sammobile, Taiwan. This is only for us who are already stuck in the new bootloader. You wont have root but at least your phone will work.

Cheers mate, all the best. Will update if I find a fix.
[Galaxy S6 General] ttyy121:
The results of my attempt to root is not very consistent or stable since 5.02 to 5.1.1 on different updates of the Taiwan variant (G9208).

Since first 5.1.1 update, I used xiaolu method and succeed for few days, I don't know what do you mean " xiao1u method breaks mobile data", my 4G signal was fine. With xposed hooked, I also observed the much more boot time of previous rooted phone, sometimes a smaller bootloop (3 or 4 repeated loops).

But after a very recent "samsung security policy update", the root has "gone" an re-root became impossible no matter by xiaolu's or chainfire UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46, most time they will cause bootloop and I can use odin to get back to initial status. Does that mean I don't have hope to root again?
[Galaxy S6 General] ttyy121:
This works on my Taiwan variant G9208 on stock 5.1.1,

Go on TWRP repository of dl.twrp.me/zeroflte, seek two .tar files as below and inject them stepwisely with different method

1st (Odin via USB). Twrp-2.8.7.2-zeroflte.img.tar

2nd(use that TWRP -2.8.7.2, operate via an "OTG linked usb mouse" since touch not working...:confused:) . to flash Twrp-2.8.7.0-zerofltespr.img (but it's actually 2.8.7.1)

now you have a touchable TWRP.

But I can't get root now, even with xiaolu method, any one with luck, please note me;)
[Galaxy S6 General] 0ptimus82:
It happened the same way with my phone, no hope so far.

Has anybody tried arter97 kernel?, G9208 support was added in the last beta but the problem is OJ2 particular release.

What is possible with this model?
[Galaxy S6 General] snooperino:
Hello guys i was wondering if this method works for sm g9200?
[Galaxy S6 General] Dissmeister:
If anybody has a working twrp, and still have root issues, try systemless root by CF if you havent. Give it a shot. I'd try myself, but Im still looking for a f**ing twrp that works properly on 5.1

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3

EDIT: [MENTION=6229406]ttyy121[/MENTION] will try that and let you know
[Galaxy S6 General] Dissmeister:
Anybody still alive? [MENTION=3029171]0ptimus82[/MENTION] I managed to get root. Following method given by [MENTION=6229406]ttyy121[/MENTION], twrp is now working. And if you refer back to my systemless root link, i.e. SuperSU 2.63, it seems to be working. After flash, device might reset a few times during boot, and you might get a "kernel not selinux enforcing" message, but let it do its thing and it will start. Make sure you wipe cache and dalvik every step of the way. Titanum backup worked, others seem to be working too, although I got a funny busybox error with Viper4Android, which may have nothing to do with it.

Seems to be ok so far. I havent checked if data works as my sim is in my other phone, maybe you guys could give it a try.

[MENTION=6229406]ttyy121[/MENTION] thanks again for the twrp method, worked like a charm.
[Galaxy S6 General] ttyy121:
:laugh: Dissmeister Great this method works. Appreciate if you can kindly a me on thank meter.

The Twrp author forgot to put touch driver in a few releases. And I also chose SuperSU 2.63 systemless

root over xiaoliu, works, except Viper4android and Dolby atmos which since 5.1.1 not able to access selinux

permission on god dame S6, give up now.

So how is Nexus 6P compare to S6, a worthy upgrade?
[Galaxy S6 General] Dissmeister:
Try this. I havent yet got it to work, but since I had the busybox issue, I flashed the thing in recovery instead of installing via apk. Try to get the Lolliviper flash for V4A as well, I think its the best one so far. Then flash these

Busybox flashable

That should let you install V4A drivers. Once that is done, to run on enforcing, flash the su policy script. Lets you run V4A on an enforcing kernel.

Thats about it so far, I guess. I've got it all done drivers installed, V4A working but sound is still not processing for some reason. Let's see how it goes. If none of this still works, maybe try this manual method.

Nexus 6P is just perfect man. No other word for it. Everything is as smooth as butter, I dont even look at my S6 after that. There's all the dev going on there, just recently we got the high brightness mode Samsung has on the Nexus via custom kernel. Only 2 things I give the S6 are that the camera is still better (slightly) and the Exynos is better at games. The thing feels damn small though, after the N6P.

Well, thank you a lot Dissmeister, I think I will mess with next working Dolby Atmos, last time I had it flashed and working [MENTION=513461]low[/MENTION]_level on S6 LP 5.02/5.10, and I prefer its sound over Viper personally. The selinux seems much more stricter on latest LP update/:crying:

[Galaxy S6 General] devbro:
For those of you still looking for a root.

I came across this post but have a hard time to download the files:

http://apk.tw/thread-725116-1-1.html

So to make the point clear:

1. I found it but did not try it. google translate roughly says it is the new root for OJ2.

As far as I know so far:

If you go to OJ2, you will get a security update in a few days. if you accept then it kills your root. So my advice is to stop your update check

Looks like the firmware on your GS6 is rather old(which is actually a good sign).

You better check which version of bootloader you currently have.

If it's anything other than the cursed coj2, than you should have no trouble flashing virtually anything!

I´m going to try to upgrade it this weekend, let us know your feedback!

I tried the root. It works perfectly.

BUT i have not found a working TWRP yet. so anything that needs custom flashing is out(xposed for example)

Well at least it´s not as problematic to root as the previous version!.

What about TWRP-3.0.2-0-zeroflte?, it is supposed to work for all S6 versions.

The launcher that comes with the XT1575 is the Google Now Launcher. Hence the reason the circle widgets are incompatible. You would need to use the launcher the widget came with.

nope that is nova launcher and I'm pretty sure it would work with google now

Confirming that it works with stock Google Now launcher also just no default way to size it correctly....
