Hello All,
I am having bit of an issue with the CyanogenMod 9 Alpha. I have successfully installed the ROM and everything is running fine until I try to use Google Maps. I can not get a GPS signal. I know this is a normal issue with ICS ROMs. Has anyone else had this issue with this ROM and know of how to fix it.
Thanks
This should help:

Hope this helps !
You have to flash back to a GB Gingerbread TW Touchwiz rom and get a GPS Lock then while you have the lock reboot the phone and flash the ICS aplha 3 normally
DONT TURN OF GPS flash regular fomat/system,fomat cache and dalvik then flash alpha 3 , then flash gapps and you should be ok
Okay, thanks everyone. I didn't know I had to do that old trick.
I am having some issues finding the touchwiz rom so that I can try that method. Do you happen to have the link?
Thanks

Can ODIN EL29 to the phone using a one click if u like, its rooted so you can still regain recovery etc easily - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
Use an app like superbackup to backup your contacts, sms, call logs and use the full one click that wipes data so u dont have any issues going from CM9 (4.0) back to EL29 (2.3)
Best not to flash roms from ICS but if u know about flashing the El26 cwm then Calk's EL29 stock which is missing is mirrored here by me - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24256853&postcount=2

A Question on CWM Recovery and 4.0.4...
Hey all.
I've given CM9 Alpha3 3 good test drives, and each time, it's completely obliterated my clockworkmod recovery back to the locked-down stock recovery.. which is INSANELY annoying. Is there any way to avoid this from happening? As in, are there any decent kernels which will retain CWM recovery on my phone whilst using a 4.0.4 ROM?
Thanks in advance for any help which anyone can provide!
they just released a new kernel with ACS built in, you might want to give that a shot.
Howto: Flash back to GB after ICS Update on the Captivate Glide
Needed Files:
Clockworkmod Recovery (CWMR): ---TOUCH--- or ---NON-TOUCH---
Odin: ---DOWNLOAD HERE---
CWMR Flashable GB Rom: ---INCEPTION ROM---
Samsung Stock Rom: ---I927UCKL1--- or ---I927UCKI3---
NOTE: If you just want to go back to GB and are happy with just the Inception rom, only download cwmr, odin, and the inception rom, otherwise, download all files.
INSTALL CWMR
first you will need to install CWMR onto your phone. to do this you need to connect your phone into download mode (power on + hold volume up, and follow prompts) via usb, start up odin, make sure only reboot is checked (uncheck F. Reset Time) and click PDA. select the unzipped cwmr (.md5 file) file you downloaded and then click start.
Congratulations, your phone now has clockwork mod recovery installed!!!
INSTALL INCEPTION ROM
the next step in the downgrade process is to install the inception rom. to do this, copy over the inception rom zip you your phones internal memory (not the external microsd) and boot into recovery (power on + hold volume down). as a precaution make a backup then do a wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, go to mounts and storage and format system (for good measure). then go back to the main menu, then install zip from sdcard, then find the zip you put on your sdcard. scroll down to yes and let the magic happen.
Congratulations, you now have the inception rom installed on your phone.
Now you can stop here, but if you want to go back to pure stock so that you can get the OTA/KIES updates again go on to the next step.
INSTALL STOCK ROM
the final and optional step is to install the stock rom back onto the phone. to do this put your phone back into download mode, fire up odin, make sure only reboot is checked. then select PDA and select the stock firmware (unzipped), this will be a .md5 file. click start in odin, and let it do its thing. it will wipe and load the stock rom back on your phone and you will be back to pure ATT stock rom goodness...
Hope this helps those out that are having trouble going to back to gingerbread
NOTE: MYSELF OR ANY OTHER PERSON ON XDA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PHONE BREAKING, YOU AND ONLY YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING FIND SOMEONE THAT DOES

You're a life saver! I followed these directions and it worked perfectly.

whats the difference between:
I927UCKL1 and I927UCKI3 ?
I put on I927UCKI3 and send the phone to my mom, when she put in her SIM card the voice and text work fine, but she is not seeing data.
Is this the software or maybe she needs a new SIM card or hopefully the phone isnt busted. Any ideas?
I927UCKI3 = 2.3.5
I927UCKL1 = 2.3.6
is you mother on AT&T? if not, you would have to enter the correct APN info...
I see, thanks for that!
I sent her into the ATT store and all they had to do was "turn on" the 3G for her and everything is fine now. She doesn't know the first thing about gingerbread or ICS so I just wanted to get her off the problematic ICS build and back onto gingerbread where she can do her simple emailing and web browsing. Should I upgrade her to 2.3.6 or do you think 2.3.5 is perfectly fine and stable for "non-power users"? Thanks again for all the help!

2.3.5 is fine not much different from 2.3.6 I do not recall the changes from 1 to the other but very minor.

the main reason to have 2.3.6 is if you want to have video chat with google talk or google+ hangouts. 2.3.5 doesnt let you from what i remember.
thanks a lot for this downgrade guide, didn't know downgrading needs GB kernel..
But does anybody know where we can get "real" stock rom? Mine is i927R unlocked. I downloaded GB stock from sammobile but it turns out to be rooted & has some Rogers apps preinstalled. Same thing I got with AT&T version.
Before upgrading to ICS, my stock was really clean, well just Rogers logo at start up, but the rest is just standard samsung's android thing..
Is this some kind of differences between locked & unlocked i927R?
Unlocked Captivate Glide ICS
if i am unloked i can still do this?? or my phone will be locked again?
I did this exactly, but when trying to flash back to stock, my phone still fails when trying to mount /preload (trying to update application)
Same here. I used inception rom couple of days, after that i tried downgrade to stock and it fails when trying to mount /preload (trying to update application). How to resolve it?
Sorry to bump an old thread, but whats the difference between the Inception ROM and the stock 2.3.6 ROM? I had 2.3.6 for about a year and I loved it before someone broke my phone. I bought a new Glide but it came with 4.0.4, and I hate it more every day. I'd like to downgrade but I'm concerned with the guys above me who said they had problems loading the stock 2.3.6 ROM. What are the main differences in case it doesnt work, or is there a way to fix it?
Please, any help would be appreciated. Much thanks

Yes. You can use any CWM flashable rom to revert back to GB and then fash Odin to get to stock. If you don't, you will hang at the boot screen.
Kudos for searching!
If you have issues getting your hands on a GB rom sent me a PM i can google drive it to you.
many thanks: with the custom and stock roms I have problems. and when I don't have problems they drain the battery
who has this file
CWMR Flashable GB Rom: ---INCEPTION ROM---
Hey, does anyone have the inc3ption_v1.zip file?
The links in the op are dead.if you have the file could you upload it somewhere?
I flashed to cm-10.1-20130403-NIGHTLY-d2spr and everything was working fine. I was able to make phone calls, apps worked, no errors etc. I was using Titanium backup to bring back some of the apps and accidently chose one of my batch restores that had system data in it. I noticed it shortly into the backup and stopped it. It caused some media process errors and I thought I would just clear cache etc and reflash with the ROM again.
The rom loaded and now it tells me to activate my phone. I hit activate and obviously its not activating my phone. I don't have a restore in nandroid or in titanium based on this rom I can use. My last titanium backup was from the rooted jelly bean 4.1.2. This version of 10.1 is android 4.2.2. I have googled and read for hours but not 100% sure what to do. If I go into the Status of the Phone within CyanogenMod 10.1 I can see that it says mobile network disconnected, my phone number 000-000-4327,
I can connect to the apps and wifi but can't get to the mobile network.
What are my options?
Do I unroot and reload stock ROM from sprint? Then call an activate and reset counter?
Do I try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25470797?
Do I call sprint and try a manual activation?
Can I got to another ROM and get cell service back?
First, remove all the #s in your post but prl. Could cause you problems with people stealing your info. Second, reflash your rom and see if that fixes it, if not, flash a stock rom and force reactivation through the dialer (there's a ## code to do it)
Thanks

You will have to contact sprint if you dont have your msl, and min.
Shouldnt give you any issues, i even admitted i had screwed it up.
Thanks
There are quite a few threads. Sorry I need a little hand holding. Don't want to do the wrong one. Then I just move the zip to the phone in the sdcard. Boot into CWM then install zip and restart?

The one that says "firmware" is not a rom, its the radio/modem for that build. You can flash any of the others, if it ever has "odex" or "deodex" on it, then its a rom

Yup, that's fine, try the steps listed in the thread linked above
Also, you don't need to call sprint to get your msl, there's a guide in the General subforum for how to get it if you'd rather them not know what you're doing with your phone
EDIT
Here's how to activate (you have to be on wifi)
jazz995756 said:
Be sure your on a touch wiz ROM and do hands free activation. To do that simply dial ##72786# and wait for your phone to reboot. Upon boot unlock your screen and DONT touch your phone it will do an activation and do your latest prl and profile and your phone will reboot again. Let it finish booting and unlock your phone again and wait for a screen to say activation has been successfull and that should fix it.

My 10+ hour ordeal is over. Thank you so much for your help. I flashed the one I mentioned above and I followed the normal setup and restored the PRL etc and I can make phone calls... It is just so hard to find information with all the different carriers,different versions, different ROMS, etc... Much appreciated. Didn't have to call sprint or anything.
Now I got to figure out how to get rid of the 5 - 0 folders Cyanogenmod created with all the same stuff on the internal card
Hi all,
I did this before on the E4GT, but not yet on the Galaxy S III (I don't think). I am looking for a write-up with links to files for temporarily flash stock TW ROM just for Profile/PRL updates and then going back to CM10.1.
If I remember correctly, in Mobile Odin, I flashed a CWM DirectBoot kernel, which on reboot took me into a recovery where I flashed a specific TW ROM. I did my thing and on reboot, was back in recovery where I flashed my latest CM10.1 nightly. What was great was when I returned to CM10, it was just as I left it.
Any pointers?
BTW- If there's an easier way to manually update PRL I am open to that too. However the Diag Script reportedly doesn't work on 3.4 kernels, which is what the CM10.1 nightlies are on.
Thanks!
You are correct. At least that's what I do when I want to update the PRL.
Using CWM or TWRP, make a backup of your ASOP ROM.
Next restore TW ROM and update PRL.
Then with whatever app, reboot back into recovery and restore your ASOP ROM.
You can *try* this, not sure if it's fully functional yet though

Well, the PRL Manager "appeared" to be working, but it did nothing. I am guessing this is because this app is made for the E4GT.
So, first off, just wanna say that I have a RIDICULOUS amount of experience with flashing roms. Literally over 100 different devices and 1000s of different flashes of my own devices on top of it. Quite familiar with this S2 as well and have customized them to all sorts of extents, but this one has me baffled. This phone refuses to run 4.2.2/4.3/4.4.x roms. Using the most up to date radio and the suggested TWRP (2.6.1.0) as well as CWM 6.0.44 and the newer TWRP: 2.6.3.0. Every time the phone will get to the set up screen, refreeze and boot. No issues running stock or stock based 4.1.2 roms. I've tried changing recoveries, wiping everything (/system, /data, /caches) repeatedly, Odin back to stock and redoing everything, switching kernels, wiping caches before rebooting and leaving it be, changing batteries, etc but nothing has worked. So far I've tried BlackLiquid 2.92 (4.2.2 stable), Awesome Audio rom (4.3), official CM11 (whatever the last build up was last night), and BeanStalk 4.4.2 (12/16) and all behave exactly the same - freeze on start up and reboot. This doesn't seem to be much of a widespread issue obviously, so just baffled and getting a bit frustrated as this should have been a 20 minute process that has turned into a few hours already. Since USB Debugging isn't on by default on newer roms, how would I even do a logcat to see if there is anything meaningful there? Any ideas?
Update: I have another S2. Performed same steps, same TWRP, same radio and rom, on same external SD card and that one booted right up like normal confirming that it is the phone itself, but what causes that?? Corrupted partitions?
I have the same problem, just format your internal and external sd card with just ROM file on your storage then try to install, than please inform me

Nope. No luck there (only tried Beanstalk so far, but exact same issue). Thanks for the suggestion though! Only using internal storage, no SD card, though thinking I might try that next...
Edit: Just to be thorough, I formatted internal storage via TWRP and my computer then readded the files and just tried to boot rom only and freezes before I can do anything.
Do you by chance have a refurbished s2?
The screen has been replaced by a friend of mine and he managed to mess up the soft keys with it, but everything else functions. That's actually why he sent it to me, so I could hook him up with Pie and all that kind of thing so the soft keys aren't an issue. What's your thoughts on the refurb side of it?

ok lets stat it with this
1) download both the scripts of infamous wipe cache and infamous super wipe.
2) format your both SD card with PC (FAT32)
2) put both these wipe files and and your rom file ( i prefer try slimbean rom first)
3) Now in twrp 2.6.0.0- follow the steps
i) format your phone with twrp options
ii) again format your phone with infamous super file. (by going in to INSTALL ZIP file option in TWRP)
iii) than format with infamouse cache file (by going in to INSTALL ZIP file option in TWRP)
iv) install your rom and compatiable GAPPS zip file.
v) after installing or somewhere between procedure if twrp says something about supersu birnaries are not correct than click on DO . NOT FIX
vi) again format infamouse cache wipe.
vii) now FINALLY reboot the rom.
it should work, and it worked for me. if u sucessfully run the rom than you can eailsy run all the AOSP roms in this forum. Again If you try this please do tell me what happend.
Followed to a "T" and still in the same boat - freezes after bootup. I used those same steps before with another darkside wipe script (maybe older?) but yea, have already been down that road. I did downgrade to 2.6.0.0 and used Slim 4.3 because 4.4 is supposed to use the newer TWRP, just to be certain, but GRRR. I guess we're just gonna have to settle for a 4.1.2 rom and call it a day. :/
So here are the log output from the wipes:

I see some stuff at the bottom of those that might indicate something weird, but I am not adept at interpreting these, so just wondering if someone could point me to the right direction about the repair checks and what not listed on these. Thanks!
Edit 2: I did get a AOSP based 4.1.2 rom to boot with no problems! wtf... LoL
Last Edit:
Problem solved! I used basically the same steps I had been doing but once the AOSP 4.1.2 rom booted then now everything works like it should again. Have loaded a 4.3 and 4.4 rom successfully. Thanks for the help!

Interesting, so you're saying it's phone specific?
That begs to ask other questions now:
1. Where did this phone come from? is it a Tmobile version (SGH-T989) or AT&T (i-1900)?
2. You mentioned you got it from a friend; did it come rooted? unlocked? Or did you have to do that process yourself?

Yep, very much phone specific. Used same recovery, same rom zip and gapps off the same external SD card, to be certain. That one updated just like every other S2 I've done. And it's the Tmo version. The At&t models are i777 S2 or i727 S2 Skyrocket. The i9100 is international and has a physical home button. But the phone was not modified at all. No root, custom recovery, etc. I was only able to resolve it by first starting with an AOSP 4.1.2 rom and working my way up to 4.4. One of the weirder issues I've come across.

What did you exactly do? I flashed a 4.1.2 and then flashed a 4.3 based ROM and it didn't work. What recovery version did you use to flash the 4.3 ROM?

Sorry, I don't pay attention to the notifications on XDA very often. I don't usually browse the S2 forums unless needed because I have an N5, but anyway... The 4.1.2 rom you used, was it TW or AOSP type? I used 2.6.0 to wipe everything, then used cache and superwipe zips then 4.1.2 AOSP type rom then cache wipe zip again then after that booted, I was able to go back to 2.6.1 and flash a 4.3 via wiping, wipe zips, installing rom then cache wipe again. After that, repeated with a KK rom and now it loads roms just like it should. If you want more precise help, feel free to hit me up on Hangouts with my username: es0tericcha0s. Good luck! I know how frustrating it can be when it gets a little out of whack like this...
I'm in the same boat
Same here. I just bought a galaxy s2 from my friend (tmobile version) and I too get stuck in a bootloop no matter what rom I use. It boots up freezes then reboots 7 keeps doing that endelessly. I've even wiped using twrp & darkside then reflashed the stock rom in odin, but no luck. strangely it only happens on the cellular network, otherwise it works fine on wifi. But when I turn off the wifi and go to the cellular network I can't even turn on the wifi anymore and still stuck in this boot loop It's wierd and frustrating.

I've even wiped using twrp & darkside then reflashed the stock rom in odin, but no luck. strangely it only happens on the cellular network, otherwise it works fine on wifi. But when I turn off the wifi and go to the cellular network I can't even turn on the wifi anymore and still stuck in this boot loop It's wierd and frustrating.

Hmm. That's interesting... This is happening on the stock rom - where you turn on cellular data and it reboots? Definitely a different issue than the one I was having. Which stock rom were you flashing via Odin? Have you tried other versions of the stock rom and had the same problem?
TMO 4.1.2

This was happening on any rom I used (Cm 10.2 stable, Cm 11 nightly, AOKP & Super Nexus 3.0 which is Android 4.3) I can't really speak for the stock rom (tmo 4.1.2) since I've never used it for more that 5 minutes, sigh but I'll try it and see if it gives me the same problem :/
Are you guys flashing gapps if the ROM you're installing doesn't have it?

I had tried with and without and did not make any difference.

I just started working on a VZW S3 on T-Mobile service that has this issue. Happens on stock VZW 4.1.2, stock T-Mobile 4.1.2 rom, custom 4.1.2 T-Mobile rom, and stable CM 10.2. Weirdest thing... full wipes including /system inbetween each flash. Changed the modem too. Nothing helps. Pretty sure it's a bad board at this stage.
Cool beans, 0! Having this exact problem, will try your method for my s2, btw which aosp 4.1.2 did u use? Can I get a link? Thanks been having the problem for a few months now and just gave up haha, been super thirsty for that beanstalk kk build
