Up to now, were you able to connect your S2 to a PC?

Could you start from recovery (I mean CM recovery)? If so perhaps you could use adb sideload to flash a good recovery and other things.

Nope Recovery is not working, only download mode does.

I can connect to a PC but it says that device is unknown.

I assume, you are still working together with warrior1208 on MM-problems, don't you?

If not: he partly fixed RIL (for calling&SMS) meanwhile. Just for information to prevent you from doing the work twice.

That's weird as he told me he didn't have enough time to work on M, anyway, there's nothing new in his github. I'm trying to set a property to satisfy cbd, but it's failing for some reason.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] the.gangster:
Both of you are right, although (even if probably related to the same fixes) I was referring to Warrior's Slim6 Alpha4 as that is for our device. The fix bauner did for GT-N7000 obviously even fixed data for that device.

If you cannot use Odin or transfer files to internal sd I recommend you to download from your device TWRP signed kernel from CM12 thread by LysergicAcid, download CM13 alpha you want to test and gapps that suit you system partition size ( or copy them to external sd with a pc adapter. Turn your phone on and copy this three files to internal sd ).

With these files in your internal sd:

1- flash signed kernel

2- reboot into recovery using volume + home buttons

3-flash CM13 alpha (don't reboot)

4-flash gapps

5-reboot

My bad this won't work on alpha4 recovery, sorry
[Galaxy S II Android Development] the.gangster:
Buy a new USB sub board for 5 bucks and get your connection working again. Without Odin, you are almost at a dead end with this alpha.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ghost_02:

sd card

But I need one in particular or can I use any?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] the.gangster:
???

SD cards won't help you here. The current recovery doesn't allow flashing from SD.

That's why you should buy a new USB sub board for your phone. That's the spare part that has the USB connector inside the phone. It's quite easy to replace if you are not totally unskilled. And it will solve your problem with connecting your phone to PC.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ghost_02:
thanks a lot here's the answer I was waiting for some time thanks a lot so I can buy this and I replace it by me then the phone returns to be recognized by Odin

Hey guys,

Firstly thanks to Lysergic Acid for their efforts!!!!

Its been a long time since I flashed a new rom (Resurrection remix KK was the last one). i just need to confirm a few things before I do so, if you would be kind enough to correct me it will be much appreciated. i double checked my recover and its Clockwork 6.0.4.7

1)	since there are issues with gapps etc I have to increase my partition size via

a.	http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/mod-increase-partition-size-t3011162

i.	the kernel for cm13 is isorec compatible so i will use this when i resize via

1.	http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57974756&postcount=4

2)	then flash cm13 via

a.	http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/guide-want-to-update-to-cm13-read-t3313978

b.	Due to the fact that the kernel is isorec compatible do I still need to reflash the kernel again during the process? Or have I completely missed the mark?

Is this all correct?

Many thanks

[Galaxy S II Android Development] MaTSuNg:
Enjoyed reading this haha, fun to see some people get their real thoughts out there, and the worst part for ME when I see this is people can't take the amount of criticism they should be getting.

Even if the tone is slightly angered, the truth is still underlying.

I'm an enthousiast and have been trying for the past years to keep my i9100 working because I like it, and my needs have not grown. That being said ever since I left the 2.3.3 version I have had various versions of CM all the way to 12.X, the last few updates 11-12 have given me a little more trouble to get working properly and the phone's never been "the same" since those updates but I still managed several work arounds by reading different posts and gathering information I understood to keep my phone working. Happy me.

I'm not ashamed to say that without such forums there are times I would have almost went out and bought a more recent phone to stop the headaches but in the end sometimes I read up and realize I'm not the only one with the "problem" I'm having and with a little bit of patience : fixes, solutions and contributions have always allowed me to get her up and going again.

This morning I chose to update to CM 13, and again I struggle with the Gapps, last time on the CM12 edition I was happy to find a special APP pack that was made for "legacy devices" and cannot find such a pack for CM13 as of yet. This seemed a good work around for me as I tend to use A BARE MINIMUM of anything that has to do with google play services.

The steps I have taken follow the "common instructions" for anyone updating to CM13, in my recovery when I choose SDCARD0, it doesn't even allow me to browse and select which file I want to update to, it skips straight to "INSTALL FAILED" "installation aborted" with no extra details.

From my last experience with this situation as I said I had found a smaller pack but atleast my old RECOVERY allowed me to browse to the right file. Does this error show up automatically because the recovery detects I have one of those "legacy partition sizes" wouldn't just give me a "not enough space" message like it once did.

EDIT : I Forgot to add that even though my google play services repeatedly crash while I'm using the phone the rest of the CM13 is actually working very well and smoothly I find my calls are faster to show up the dialer screen, the app drawer is better this way so is the TEXT messaging and the built in browser seems to be better than it was. I just need to find a fix for Gapps to work and I'm good to go.

Thanks !

Mat

After installing the "kernel-Lanchon-TRIM-IsoRec-20160207-cm-13.0-i9100-for-ODIN" through ODIN the phone ended up BOOTING after a really long time, and updated 67 apps out of 67 then restarted and now is just boot looping as far as I can see.

What steps could I take to get atleast a modern functioning recovery through ODIN?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] the.gangster:
[MENTION=4445692]MaTSuNg[/MENTION]

ok. you used odin, but you didn't flash the kernel that was advised. (no need to anyway)

So, as you are still on CM13 and as you still have an IsoRec-supporting kernel, you can now follow the steps I described in the order I described.

Nothing has changed by your flashing the kernel by odin, except your flashcounter.

Good night.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MaTSuNg:
Actually I tried both, the first one had no effect so I tried the other. Since its not booting , sorry for hopping around from thread to thread I'll stay here for now, after bootlooping for 5-6 minutes it ended up going backa to ANDROID IS STARTING Optimizing its apps. I can't seem to get into CM13 since I flashed the kernel through ODIN like the second option suggests.

Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
Hi

1. Would you please quote to which post you are referring

2. 5-6 Minutes is not necessarily enough. Plus I did nit get what you are trying to say ... if you get to the android is optimizing window you device is not bootlooping but you just gotta wait until it's finished. That can take very long (definitely more than 5-6min)

Hi Daniu,

In another thread I posted to gangster saying

" Gangster back to you

I went for the ODIN method "2. ODIN method (requires PC)" and flashed "kernel-Lanchon-TRIM-IsoRec-20160207-cm-13.0-i9100-for-ODIN" it was successful but the instructions state to boot back into recovery and start the CM13 guidelines without backup, which would make sense but it does NOT boot into TWRP I still get the broken CM Rec. so what step am I missing for TWRP to work?"

After waiting for all the apps to optimize (I know its not a bootloop but it too so long to get to the point where it started optimizing I thought it was a bootloop while I posted) so after waiting for all 67 to optimize the phone shut off and rebooted and did the same thing again all the way to 67 and then went back to the CYANOGEN logo. I turned the phone off, reflashed the "12.1 isorec kernel" they suggest in the STEP 2 instructions for CM13 update for us boneheads who flashed with OTA. Now for some reason I can only access DOWNLOAD MODE, the phone shows its SAMSUNG i9100 BOOT logo and the screen goes black after that.

So I tried flashing in CWM 6.0.5.1, flash was successful but phone goes black when it starts even when I press "POWER HOME and VOL UP" I can't access recovery.

I guess at this point I really need to advice as to what to do, being quite stuck in the sense that CM13 was buggy, unable to use the Buggy CM 13 recovery, the only logical approach was getting another Recovery to work and reflash needed files to get back to 12.1 until I could find some more time to fiddle with partition sizes and CM13. But even reflashing a recovery I'm unable to access that.

EDIT : Seems just following the instructions properly didn't really get me where I was imagining it would! The thought was to get ISOREC compatible and TWRP (arnab) to work so I could then use REPIT, reflash CM13, and gapps. I Wonder what exactly didnt work as I sepnt many hours making sure I Had the steps down..

Thanks for any help to get this phone back up and working...

---------- Post added at 12:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

ONE last thing I realize before going to bed, is that when my screen turns off, I have sort of a hunch that the phone is still "on" trying to do something? It gets really hot. Because during optimizing of apps when i first booted after adding the kernel, it got really hot doing the updates before rebooting when they were done... started doing this after..

Kinda discouraged
