Hi Guys,
First post on XDA-DEV and I unfortunately can't post in the developer page for this phone.
I recently flashed the ICS Perfection II 04.15.12 and my phone freezes when powering off. Not a huge deal but I would like to remedy the issue.
I have wiped the phone and all the cache and fixed the permissions after the flash.
The page for the ROM does not address this issue and I have searched for the issue on the phone forums with no avail.
Anyone have any ideas? Anyone dealt with this issue before?
1) Honestly I don't understand how if you watched this video, you didn't learn that if you use the search function, you will find answers to all your questions. *facepalm*
2) Never, never, never post in a question in the developer section. Only start a new thread only if you are a developer, hence the "Developer" section.
3)Its a known bug for the skyrocket leak ports, some other ROMs have addressed this issue while others...well they haven't. Quickboot (I think is the name of the app) will do the trick.
4) Hit the thanks button

This is what i did to fix the rebbot issue. Go into recovery make a nandroid backup, right after the backup is done, flash it. Don't wipe or clear anything just flash it and it should fix it. It worked for me so it might work for you.
the new ucld2 based roms have all resolved this issue (embryo 2.0, new nexus mod beta, sky pics 4.2D-6)
Hopefully this is the right place to post. I apologize if it's not.
Last week I bought the Samsung Galaxy S2 X from Koodo Mobile. The model # is SGH-T989D and runs the newest version of ICS. 4.04 I believe.
I hadn't had any problems until recently. I was trying to root my phone when I ran into some trouble. I forgot to make a backup of my system, so when I ran into problems, I just decided to try out a couple custom roms. At some point something got messed up badly with my phone. Whenever I turn it off now the lights at the bottom of the screen stay on. Unless I hold the power for 30 seconds to a minutes it won't turn back on. The factory reset has also been a problem. I'll go to reset it, and it formats the usb storage, but doesn't restart. When the phone is on, it seems to work fine.
I finally managed to get a telus stock rom to flash and work. So I have two questions I'm hopeful someone can help me with.
1. Are there any Koodo stock roms for ICS? I've looked on tons of different sites, and it seems it's all either for T-mobile or Telus. Is that because Koodos just came out with their phone? I'm just looking for the exact version that would have been on my phone when I got it. I found one online, but it had no baseband version. If I have to return the phone or send it in for repairs, I'd like it back to stock,
2. My other question is, does the light not turning off, and the turn on problems sounds like a hardware issue? I've been trying to fix this for the last 24 hours and it's driving me nuts. Since I'm a noob I have no idea whether I should keep trying or just send it in for repairs. Does it sound like something that can be fixed? Like maybe I'm flashed a wrong kernel or am using a bad rom? I don't know, but advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks to anyone who answers.
you have various roms made for koodo..2) are you talking about the soft keys? depending on what rom you use they can be different (locationwise) ... if I'm not mistaken all --- This is my personal opinion. Jedi on koddo should be more than sufficient as to suit your daily driver needs. Dev is very helpful and keeps a very organized thread. You can also try darkside, if I'm not mistaken he had a koodo version. i own a hercules so i at give more information... for your best info, go into the thread and ask the ppl i n them for their experience. everyone's needs are different so for what might work for me might not for you Infamous is another one. Just click on the t mobile dev section and you just scroll for what you like.. Hope this help
I guess my main question is about the key lights staying on. I'm pretty sure it means its not shutting down correctly because it also won't turn on again unless I hold down the power button for 30 seconds. So could that be caused by anything I did? Like any of the flashing or customers roms I used, or should I just send it back into Koodo?
Okay download this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/darksidetools/files/SGH-T989_DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE_EXT4.zip/download
And then flash a rom (any one, just pick one)
That is a flash able zip (in cwm recovery) that will completely wipe off every piece of system and rom data (does NOT touch anything on your internal memory or external sd). If your hardware lights are malfunctioning due to software, this will fix it. Then, when you flash your rom, if you still have the issue with your hardware lights, it's likely a hardware issue and you should follow a guide to return to stock everything and send it in for warranty repair.
Also, this is a Koodo based rom if you're interested:

yoft1,
I appreciate your help. I did what you said and downloaded both the darkside clean wipe and the darkside cache wipe. Flashed my rom, and the light finally started to shut off.
Except when I did a normal factory reset just from the settings menu, when it reset I still have the same problem, it goes back to keeping the lights off. Does that make any sense to you? Like could something in the darkside clean or cache wipe fix it but then a factory reset mess it up again?
Also if I wanted to make a backup of my system, what program would you recommend to do it? Thanks again.
Just run the cache wipe again. It will fix that.

Great, thanks for the help.
One other question, if I want to put my phone back to the EXACT way it was when I bought it, do I just need to flash a stock rom, or do I need to flash a kernel as well?

If you're looking to make a backup of your entire device image, your cwm recovery will do that for you under backup. No other way to do it, you have to do it via a recovery mode.
I don't know why factory reset would be causing that problem since I never use that but it does seem odd.

To return exactly how you bought it, you need to first flash the stock ics kernel through cwm. Then flash an Odin tar file through Odin (desktop) which will restore stock rom as well as stock recovery. Unfortunately, I've looked around but could not find an Odin tar file for Koodo stock. Maybe you'll have better luck but in any case that is the process.
You seem competent and willing to learn, which doesn't happen as often as you would think. Let me know if I can help further. Good luck.
yoft1,
Many thanks again for your help. I am extremely green to this type of stuff so I feel like I've been thrown into the deep end here.
I've been looking around for the tar file and can't seem to find one either. But with the amount of people on here, there is probably someone who could upload it right? Would there be a thread or better forum for me to make a request? Or is that poor etiquette on this site?
I've just seen so many different roms, kernels, updates, etc...and I'm thinking somebody might be able to get it on here.
Ok you also said the first thing to do is to flash the kernel. Am I just lookng for any stock ics kernel? I just know I've looked through so many website and threads with different kernels, I just want to make sure I flash the correct one. Like is there a specific one per carrier, or model, or brand?
Again thanks for the help.
I would probably start a thread in the general section to see if someone can compile/upload an Odin flashable tar from Koodo stock. If that doesn't work or if no one responds after a bit, I would PM Mr X (a user on these forums). He is a dev that has uploaded stock roms for Telus and tmobile and he's also a really nice guy. He would probably know where to get one.
As for the kernel, I'm not sure if it matters but I would say with 80% certainty that there is no difference between the stock tmobile kernel and the stock Koodo kernel. On top of that, I would say with 99% certainty that it doesn't matter either way because I highly doubt they would look that closely (if there's anything to find at all) if you send it in for warranty purposes (but no promises of course) . If you get your hands on that tar file for Odin, I'm almost positive that the stock tmobile/Telus ics kernel will do it for ya.
Here is one of MrX's threads so you can PM him if the general forum doesn't work out:

Hello everyone,
I have a question.
I've rooted my girlfriend's S3 it's the AT&T version and I am wondering why after I flash the "JellyBam" rom I am not able to get any DATA connection.
Things I've done so far are as follows:
1.Flashed rom-successful flash-not data.
2. Flashed rom- successful flash-no data again-looked for available modems.
I've looked for what modems or what ever I would need or might have to use and I tried installing them but still no data, I even tried installing the "modem list" program *the one you can flash modems within recovery*, but still nothing. I've even tried just installing the modems in the main "modem lists" thread.
Another thing I want to ask is:
Why is there a "0" in the phones storage? I am thinking is TWRP's is file segregation*I am a noob with the S3*, it seems to me that TWRP has alocated the storage into a different "partition" which I think is dumb.
Sorry if these are noob questions and all, but I have a Dinc and have successfully rooted and flashed numerous roms and it's been a blast and I want to extend my experience with flashing ROMS to my girlfriend. I can't explain/teach her the great things about rooting if I am baffled by the S3's way of doing things.
Anyways, that's pretty much it I know there will be more questions after this... This phone is fun to mess with but if I can't get any kind of data to work then it bums me out that I won't be able to try all the wonderful ROMs this phone has for it.
Thanks for your time.
*Edit:
I like TWRP don't get me wrong, but why doesn't CWM and TWRP play well together, I've tried to flash NAN after Goo'n TWRP, and it wouldn't read the NAN I've made with CWM*I've fixed this though. Should I just ditch CWM for TWRP and be done with it or should I just deal with juggling with both.

See TWRP as a CWM on steroids. I'd stick with it.
As for your network problem, did you flash modems specific to her carrier? That would most likely help. Also, is her IMEI still fine?
In settings, Mobile network, Network Mode, try to change it to GSM/WCDMA preferred.
Look here for some suggestions on how to get your data back.
As for recoveries, pick one and stick with it. I'd go with TWRP over CWM, personally.

This isn't a recovery thing; it's an Android 4.2 thing - it has to do with Android 4.2's multi-user support. Data from the first user of the device goes into 0/; from the second user, 1/, from the third user, 2/, etc.

Thanks for the replies.
I checked what the default modem was AMD searched for it, found it and installed it but nothing*I am a complete noon with flashing modems*
I haven't checked the imei thing thoroughly just yet, but I will check that out...I am just afraid I may bring the phone.
I'm liking twrp is there a way to rearrange the files , like remove the "0" and make it show like before*default way*. I don't like going through hoops so to speak transfering files on the pc.
Again thanks for the quick replies and I will get back to it wen I have the phone.
One more thing, there are many jellybean roms what are good non-vanilla roms? Or is that the "thing" with this phone?

You can't do much about the 0. But it shouldn't affect much anyway. Honestly, it's just better organised but I guess it can't be to everyone's liking.
As for IMEI, just make sure it matches the one in the back of your phone. If not, you'll need to get back to stock with Odin.
And can't really suggest a ROM as they're all different and will act different on everyone's phone. The best I can do is to tell you to check them out and read the comments from users.

If you are using a custom ROM, I'd ask over in the respective thread. Mine is still stock (didn't get a chance to unlock day 1) and I have not seen this message.
EDIT: Or, perhaps try a full wipe - system/cache/dalvik/factory reset, etc...

Thank you for your informative response. I tried reboot, clear cache, factory reset, the message still pops up and am unable to determine the pattern. Tried to remove the SIM card and stay on wifi for a day. It appears at random times.
P.S. Being a new member to this forum, I don't have a privilege to post it in the development thread, so I thought this would be the most appropriate place. If I am the only one who is getting his message, then I must have done something wrong. Although, I have been using android since OG droid, apart from rooting, I never really got into customization. And when I saw this phone, it screamed to give it a little personal touch Anyway I will keep an eye on this post. And big thanks to all the developers and users here, I have started to learn a lot from these discussions.

just do some random posts like welcome to the forums, and good for you!

Ask these questions in the respective ROM thread..
Newt will have a better chance of seeing it
Don't worry about posting in a developer thread, just post in the respective ROM thread. Also, I'm not sure what process you went through, but if you are having problems, it's usually a good idea to clear everything and start fresh with a new ROM, so be sure to clear all of these: data, cache, dalvik, system, and possibly even perform another data wipe after you install the custom ROM

Thank you for your response. Yes, as per your suggestion (and lessons learned from using OG Droid and Razr Maxx), after system backup, I religiously do clear cache, Dalvik, factory reset and then install/play with system settings (new ROMs in this case). One of the things I did is: when I listed the /system/app/ folder, I saw few .odex files without respective .apk files. So I mounted /system while in recovery and removed those stray .odexes. I thought I might have deleted some files that I should not. So I wiped everything and reinstalled the ROM. however, the issue is still there. Anyway, I will keep looking for the bug.

Haha, you are awesome when I saw "You, new guy, you are not allowed to...." message this was the first thing that came in my mind. On a second thought, I realized, this must be the same reason (posting random/irrelevant) posts is why these restrictions exist. Also, you guys are doing amazing job of helping users like me to not only understand and learn about hardware and software issues, but resolving all the amateur mistakes that we make. So I am trying to keep the posts as relevant as possible.
As per the error message, it looks like some HTC app is trying to download data and unable to retrieve proper information. If I can figure out which app is throwing this message, it might help to find what information/app is trying to get access to and then resolve that problem.
BTW, thanks for BoneStock ROM. Am super excited to see that ROM getting Aroma-tized.
I've been having this issue ever since CM10.1 nightly 0308. Phone reboots randomly and enters a boot loop until it calms down and boots normal. I never had this problem on any build of CM earlier than 030813 when they moved to 3.4 kernels for the Sprint GS3. I've tried everything, posted on numerous forums, even brought the issue to Cyanogenmod's (Steve Kondik's) attention on G+, but all I get from everyone is upgrade to MD4 radio. I have been on MD4 radio and firmware from the first day it was leaked. So if anyone can help fix this I have a $100 bounty on it. Payable via money order to international winner(s) - no Paypal here, and in local currency on the off-chance that a local dev can help fix it. I have uploaded a video on youtube of the phone in a reboot loop. Video is not top quality, it was taken with an iPhone 4S in a moving vehicle but you can see clearly what is going on.
Here is the link to the video on youtube:
http://youtu.be/kposye98XJI
NB. The phone is flashed to Visafone CDMA network in Nigeria. Voice, SMS and 3g data work flawlessly.
Bounties are not something we like much on XDA.
Try doing a clean flash wipe cache, wipe dalvik and do factory reset. If you don't do a factory reset your laying the new rom on existing rom data.
Also questions go in the Q&A section not in the General section.
Thread moved.
Have a great day!

I've wiped data, wiped cache, formatted sdcard, formatted system, copied my stuff from external sdcard to laptop, formatted external sdcard, done everything humanly possible to get a trouble-free flash. All goes well during flash, no issues.But phone has never gone 24hrs without a reboot loop. On stock TouchWiz all is well, but I don't like TW. Downgraded to CM10.0 and NO REBOOT LOOPS because kernel is 3.0, same as MD4 TW kernel, so this problem never arises. Traced back a bit to CM10.1 nightly of March 17 or 18 and all is still ok because that was the last nightly with 3.0 kernel. Anything after that and the issue comes up again. My baseband is MD4, same as firmware, flashed with the AIO from freeza. To top it all, this is not peculiar to my phone: ALL Sprint Galaxy S3 phones I have flashed for friends all experience this so I just take them back to stock TW. It's frustrating to say the least. Any help?
Your repeating what you said already. In none of what you said have ever said you have done FACTORY RESET...
Then stay with what works

Done that at least 15 times. I've been trying to tackle this issue for months now, still no headway. When I was asking around for solutions some people thought I was a phone hypochondriac. That's the reason I posted the video on youtube.
Stick with what works...

This thread is not within bounty guidelines. For now I am going to shutdown this "bounty" as it does not have a concise goal that pays out at the completion of the goal as it should be stated on the OP. Arguing points with links to real bounty threads is not what we are here for.
Bounties are strictly pledges. If you want to donate to the developer, donate.
With that said this thread is closed.
