Build 02/07 is Magisk-free an has a built-in SU to root.

The S2 has an outdated boot image. That's the reason why Magisk don't work with it and fails by flashing. I don't know if there is any solution for that at all. The latest AICP build works without problems on our phone. To have root access you must flash the Lineage SU or Super SU. But you can't root turn completely off - some apps need this, for example banking apps. With Magisk you can do that.

Im using AICP build 02/07 , i installed substratum v 563 and works good

[Galaxy S II Android Development] lexus46:
There are special apps to hide the root status of the phone like RootCloak or Suhide. Just Google for them.

I also tested it with aimera app and footej app

I'm sad =(

I left the AICP ROM (build 2017.12.04) and went back to the RR because of this =(

And there I go. Hunt new ROM's.

I'll wait for the next compilation of the two ROMs to test.

Thanks for the help [MENTION=4449541]Tilagoon[/MENTION]

Yes! It's going to erase everything. If you want to go back to the custom ones, you'll have to do the process again.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MigoMujahid:
yes and the phone probably won't boot because you don't have enough preload partition (assuming that you used a pit that makes preload minimal..), so it's a stupid move unless you use the Original pit with the stock rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lurker316:
Thanks. This is what normally happens, but I was a little confused by Isorec TWRP recovery. I thought it might stick. But anyhow, this is fine. I was just curious.

I have Flashed stock samsung Rom 4.1.2 once After pitting. That's how I managed to Format the Data partition which was being inaccessible to me After pitting. I was having mounting errors. The phone booted fine. The PIT file I used was this one: i9100_1.5GB-System_6GB-Data_512MB-Preload_by-the.gangster.zip

I was asking because I was curious if the TWRP recovery would stick around after Stock Flash. Do you happen to know where I can find a Samsung 4.1.2 Stock PIT file? ;)

EDIT: Never mind mate. I found the Stock PIT file from another Pitting thread.

Hi,

I am currently testing the AICP and have installed the 20170207 build (following some posts saying this build was very good) and yesterday before posting my answer I have checked the video recording with Open Camera and I can insure you that it was working OK on the external SD.

It is not always good to use the latest builds :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MigoMujahid:
wait, you used a pit that keeps preload as it is, you don't have to repit again..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] linusdan:
My craze to use the latest version hahaha

Now I've learned that I do not always have to do this

I'll leave the AICP aside and use XenonHD ROM, in spite of loving the organization of things of AICP =)

If this detail does not work on Xenon, I'm going to test the build you said. Thanks again!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] linusdan:
Okay! I'm also curious =D

The PIT file you requested is in the attachment.

I recommend using the 4GB file (I91001gb_4gb).

Remember the camcorder problem I said?

I discovered the problem: Works normally if it is in the phone's internal memory.

Do not know why.

Tested in XenonHD, AICP and RR.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lexus46:
Yes, by default the storage is set to internal memory and I leaved as it is. That's because I didn't experienced the error.:o
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sylvasster68:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] lexus46:
Hmmm... Strange...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] linusdan:
Strange...

Are you with the latest compilation (20170406)?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sylvasster68:
Yes, the latest compilation, where you want to save the setting in the settings The camera.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nobby1960:
In all three ROMs you can't store videos on the external card? If so, save all data from your SD card and wipe it in the recovery (format). Perhaps that solves your problem.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] linusdan:
I did this when I installed the three ROMs and gaaps. Did not solve.

I am currently using ROM XenonHD.

I think the system is recognizing the remaining partition of the phone with the PIT procedure as an SD card and is generating some conflict while reading the real card.

It might also be my phone, but I don't think be that's.

Is remaining PIT partition formatted? YES! =)

I think to kill my doubt, I'll have to install the Stock ROM (Something i don't want to do)

Someone who uses instagram? It gives the same problem even with the selected internal memory. Recording freezes, even with the permissions of the app.

Rooting is different to flashing custom ROMs. Have you got custom recovery? We need more detail to help you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MigoMujahid:
try flashing this in recovery and ignore the error there.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] linusdan:
So folks, I installed the Stock ROM to check if my phone was having any problems (Curiosity was stronger than I hahaha).

I used the PIT Stock to restore the phone. When all was over, I took the test with Instagram and the camera to save the videos in SD. It works perfectly!!!

After testing, I installed the OctOS (LineageOS based). Gave the same problem.

Conclusion: all roms based on lineage have this problem.

The base version of the my i9100 is I9100XXMS2.

BUG DETECTED!!! :cowboy:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] p3dboard:
I have this problem on AICP, but only on one of my two Galaxy s2 phones. Both are on 20170411 builds of aicp, one can record video fine (my wife's phone), my phone gives an error about contacting the media recorder. Both phones have the same gapps and aicp rom builds.

I am just backing up my phone and going to wipe my data partition to see if that fixes my phone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tilagoon:
Hi,

Yes looks strange !!

But try with an older build like 20170207 , just to see !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] p3dboard:
Wiping my data partition worked, my phone can now record videos again. Something in the data partition settings must have been causing the problem. Both sdcard and internal memory works fine.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ShAzumi:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] MigoMujahid:
so the previous guide isn't the problem as well, the problem is that you should have installed the rom only and rebooted, then let it boot then reboot to recovery and flashed the gapps, these notes are mentioned in the OP of the Resurrection Remix thread.

Here's the Error 4 Fix.

Go to the page mentioned above by [MENTION=4909004]melkozerov[/MENTION]

then download both the addon_su arm and addon_su arm64. extract that addon_su arm64 and take the update-binary from Meta-Inf/com/google/android (in this case use a file manager that supports zip extraction) and move it to addon_su arm (this one is for 32bit) and move it on the folder mentioned above. (Don't extract the addon_su arm, just use RAR.APK to move it without extracting, cause doing so might give you an error while flashing.) try it, it works for me. Hope It helps you in solving your problem. God Bless

OTA updates broken?

HI guys,

One of the important features of this ROM are OTA updates, so I don't have to reinstall everything when new version is released.

However, I'm getting error "Can't check update" if I try to check it.

Can anybody using this ROM please check for me if OTA are working for you?

It is in: Settings/Configurations/Miscellaneous/Updates/Check Update

Also it says: "OTA: Latest Version: Unknown" and "Links" section is empty.

If it is working for you - what version are you on? (I'm on RR-N-v5.8.2-20170405-i9100-Official)

Or do you have a hint how to fix it?

Thank you very much! :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] John D J:
Hi. Ye confirmed ota doesn't work. Tried on last build too and didn't work. Inconvenient? Maybe, but still best ROM out there.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lexus46:
I never use OTA update. You can flash new build in Recovery like an update, but wipe only cache and dalvik. This way you don't have to reinstall nothing, your installed apps and even settings remain like you left them.

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

Yes, just like MigoMujahid wrote, it's only RR specific procedure, and only for Nougat RR rom. The Wi-Fi procedure from the beginning (as usual) starts when you first time open Play Store or enything else what requires to log in to your Google Account. :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] John D J:
Isn't that called a dirty flash? Does it not cause problems?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nobby1960:
A dirty flash (ROM update over an existing ROM without wiping system and data partitions) can sometimes cause problems if too many things have changed since the last update.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lurker316:
I did the same. Flashed RR Rom, Gapps and SU the last. All in one go. Now I don't recall but perhaps I must have wiped between each step.

The firmware installation 5.8.3(nightly) ended Status7 error/ Installation aborted. How to fix it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] melkozerov:
Those who frequently puts custom firmware through recovery should be familiar with the situation when something is not put. Who will understand why!

If You are familiar with what a Recovery, CWM, know what is custom firmware and what they eat, then you are probably faced with the fact that the firmware or the update fails to install displaying error Status 6 or Status 7.

Status 6 indicates that in update-scpript not created in Unix format, so when you install the Android does not recognize what is written there and gives error Status 6. In order to fix this I advise you to download and install NotePad ++ and change the format

Status 7 that the firmware is not suitable for Your device. I strongly recommend to double check I was right there with You device. If not wrong then I suggest to open the update-script and delete the line containing the model name and the pen to sign the firmware
