I have a galaxy s2 that I tried rooting, it sorta worked then it did not. So I followed the instruction to put it back to stock with gingerbread .uckh7,
kernal version 2.6.35.7
The phone seems to work fine. The issue is I cannot put it back to ics which is where it was, I tried reloading Kies, I tried just using the update. Nothing. And the phone now seems to once in awhile go into airplane mode by itself, or to restart itsself.
I would love to root my phone, and have it work well. I know enough about computers to be dangerous I am sure. But baring that I would just like to be able to have it back to where it was.
Thanks for the help.
I am not a noob to rooting and flashing, but I am a noob to this forum. I recently bought a phone very cheap, a galaxy s t959v t-mobile. It had already been rooted and flashed with Cyanogenmod on JB 4.1.2. There were several problems with this phone including the keyboard would not pop up and it does not connect to a pc, whatsoever. So I loaded Slim Bean to an sd card and flashed it over to the phone. Now the WiFi toggle switch is grayed out, I can not turn it on at all. I have tried flashing a new rom, and so far from my research, there are only three for 4.1.2 jb on the Galaxy S T959v. None of these helped, and I have tried to flash the kernel but I can not get the kernel for the rom in a individual download. But the kernel that comes with cyanogenmod 10 titled JB Poop, which I believe is from the Proton kernel hasnt reverted it back either when I flash CM10. I have tried everything I know to do, have reformatted the system cleared all dalvik and caches to no avail. Can someone please help me with this situation!?! I have put countless hours into this and I can't seem to do it. And since it can't connect to a PC, I can't flash the stock firmware to it. And I know it wont connect, I have all the correct drivers, even have another Galaxy S I flash all the time also an S3 and S2 Tablet. I have even made a jig cable to bring it into download mode since the button combo to bring it into DL mode is disabled. But the pc nor any application on the pc never recognizes it, Odin, ADT, nothing recognizes it. But if someone can please just help with getting the correct kernel/module or technique that may fix this WiFi issue it would be greatly appreciated. Specs are Samsung Galaxy S T959V 4.1.2.

Hi
So I flashed a custom ROM which worked 100%, then I tried to flash a custom kernel. And here something went wrong. I first tried to flash Zeus 4.0, but then every time I boot the device my 3g does not even pick up, so i just restored to my backups and everything worked.
But somewhere along the line I messed up something. As no matter which ROM I load my 3g does not connect at all. I've checked the APN settings, and everything seems correct.
Is there a way to flash back to the factory rom and kernel and then go from there?
The roms I've tried to do is Android Revolution HD 9, Illusion, PACMAN and Omega...
My device is the Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000, for south africa...
Thanks in advance.
Flash stock rom via Odin
sammobile.com
You have flashed the so-called "radio" partition.
It contained data connected with networking support.
N8010 (zeus kernel is only for that one...) doesnt seem to have 3g support so you lost it.
But as @up said everything shall back to normality if you'll flash stock samsung rom by odin (search on forum to make sure that the rom version contains radio update... i'm not sure if every has it, just as not every rom had the bootloader update!)
...or look for radio partition dump only - seen one somewhere...
Hello all,
Okay, I admit that I am gonna get a lot of "use the search tool first" replies, but please hear me out. I have done my fair share of searching. Its not that I haven't found anything, its just the things I found are useless for this SGS 4G. I really wanted to install Cyanogen Mo on the SGS (its not actually mine, a friend asked me to do it since he saw my old SGS GT-I9000 running CM).
I am gonna try and give a detailed report . The phone was originally from T-Mobile and now unlocked permanently. Its running firmware version 2.3.3 that I installed just recently. I found out that I can't install CWM on the stock kernel or bootloader or whatever and I needed a new of the thing. So I went on searching and searching....found a handful of help but none work. Every method breaks at some point and I go to the "firmware update failed" thing on the phone, which I then install 2.3.3 again using ODIN and try another method. I have tried a lot of things. Hemidall, ODIN, SuperOneClick, and a lot of gibbrish-sounding methods. None work. I am now running 2.3.3. Here are some infos:
ABOUT PHONE:
Model Number: SGH-T959V
Firmware Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: T959VUVKF1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-T959VUVKF1-CL270364
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.VUVKF1
The files I used to flash to 2.3.3 using ODIN v1.85:
PIT: Hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit
PDA: CODE_T959VUVKF1_CL270364_REV00_user_low_noship.tar.md5
PHONE: T959VUVKF1-Phone-CL1020302.tar.md5
CSC: SGH-T959V-CSC-TMB-VIBRANTP.tar.md5
I hope the above infos are enough. So, can anyone help me and point me to the right direction on how to install CWM and then install CM10 or 9 on my friends SGS 4G?
Thanks,
Tamrat
Hmmm, an interesting set of binaries, ones that don't ring a bell with me. I'm used to seeing T959VUVKJ6.
Where did you find those? Half curiosity, half trying to understand the problem, half since much of the "old" images for the phones got lost when Multiupload and what have you were shut down.
For the SGS4G, the kernel, root file system, and recovery file system are all in "boot.img" -- flash one, you flash them all. They can be flashed through Odin (assuming you really like Windows), heimdall (multi-platform), through recovery, or from a root command line (for the adventurous only).
I would say the most robust way to get where you need to be would be to use Lumin's guide to make sure you've got a viable Gingerbread set-up going, then flash something reliable to get you to MTD, like TeamAcid's CM9.
From there, you should know that some of the KK ROMs use slightly different MTD partitioning and aren't a "just flash this ROM and keep your data" kind of thing.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A long day Googling... and then a site turned up. One thing I forgot to mention was, before I installed this firmware, I had to use the "remove battery->plug usb->press the button combos->insert the battery" to enter download mode, but now I juts have to press vol down and power button.
Thanks for the reply,
Failure again
UPDATE:::
I tried to update to 2.3.6 as the guide suggests and I also wanted a clean stock OS in case the old one was not. But once again updating to 2.3.6 has been a pain. Kies Mini recognizes the phone but it doesn't recognize the firmware running on the phone. And also, firmware update is impossible since the button is greyed out.
I googled again and found the official 2.3.6 firmware for the phone (file name: T959VUVKJ6-REV00-home-low-CL694130.tar.md5) and tried flashing it using ODIN; absolutely no luck. It fails at the stage which says Slb.bin. Restarting the phone after that gives a "firmware upgrade failure" display. Only way to wake up the phone is to flash the previous OS back.
I am really confused here.
*********************EDIT***************
Some how, after like 10 retires and fiddling with ODIN, it finally flashed 2.3.6 to the SGS 4G. Still, fingers crossed.
*********************EDIT 2***************
Finally, its all working fine now. Thank you @jeffsf, thank you very much.

forgot an important step and now my IEMI number is gone........
do i throw the phone now, or is there any other way???
Don't throw your phone away! How do you know that you have "no IMEI" on your phone? We'll go from there.
Hopefully, you've backed up your data before starting to play around with ROMS. If so just load your backed up efs folder onto your storage & use Root Explorer to drop it over your existing one , it will overwrite your imei file & you will be good as new.

I'm also in need of help, I have been running SlimSaber since last weekend, was wanting to try out Beanstalk. First full wipe, install & reboot wipe again, reinstall etc as per Dao's OP, but after the first install, it won't boot past the kernel splash. Tried again with same result. Decided to click it back to stock & start over, using Gremlin Remover (odin). Then saw that others were having similar issue so I tried to load in build from April1st.
But now it only boots back into recovery, won't boot to the OS ( everything indicated install was complete & no errors.)
1 clicked back again & just tried to put SlimSaber back on again, but have the same problem, will only boot into recovery.
I had to first load CM9 to get CWM 6.xx so I could install kk using TWRP
What am I not doing correctly? Thanks for any suggestions.
Flash kernel
Reboot recovery
Wipe all partitions
(Reboot recovery for good measure and wipe again if paranoid)
Install
Boot
If that doesn't do it, it is likely ROM or hardware.

Since this is running GB VUVKG4, could you recommend a kernel that would work & get me to TWRP (or CWM 5.xx+)?
Either the Team Acid CM9 or Hefe Kernel should work.

Hi all, I'm a newbie so I'm really unfamiliar with this stuff
I have a Galaxy S3 i9305 that used to be rooted and installed with Cyanogenmod 10.1, but recently I decided to start anew and formatted everything in cwm recovery. Then, I flashed samsung stock rom android 4.3 (I9305XXUEML8) and gapps for 4.3, but the rebooting suddenly seems longer and the phone cannot detect a sim card, hence, no network. Moreover, there is no notification whatsoever when I plug the device into the com, except showing the charging notification light. It can also hang randomly after I turn the screen on. The phone is not rooted anymore and has stock recovery. I have a feeling this is because I formatted /modem or /tombstone. The phone is not very old so I believe it isn't a problem with the card slot or anything. Is there any way to solve this problem? Thanks a lot if anyone can help!
Try reflashing stock rom, it might work
And if didn't, try to flash pit file for your device
Hit Thanks if I helped sent from my SM-T211
try to flash your baseband probably could work
It's working!
I fixed it thanks i went to this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...warning-guide-backup-restore-imei-nv-t1946915) and it was pretty useful. thanks to the people who helped anyway
