nandroid backup required - Galaxy S II General

hi,
i have sim unlocked uk o2 phone which had i think ke1 (was 2.3.3) (not sure though) did multiple roots and roms but was an absolute idiot and did not do a nandriod backup. now whatever rom or even a stock firmware i am experiencing random shutdown (1-5 minutes) with everyone (i have to take the battery out play with it a couple of times for it to boot or even to get into download or recovery. it does not even charge in this condition). so i need this backup bad to see if anything is recoverable. here is the history
upgraded to kg2 via odin (from android advices via odin no issues)
rooted via cf3 (no issues)
litening 5.0 ( went well for a couple of days then disaster)
reverted to kg6 stock (same issue)
did villian rom (same issue)
my warranty is voided and dont have access to a jig. desperate

Sounds like a hardware issue....

Have you tried flashing the stock kernel first, then rebooting again into download to flash the stock ROM?

yeah kg6, but i have a suspicion it was kernel only..... am i missing something here

Since KG2 was the last one that worked fine for you, I recommend flashing the KG2 kernel first, then the KG2 ROM. Then confirm that everything works fine before flashing to KG6.

not working same issue

try flashing ke7 from samfirmware, then wipe cache and data in recovery, then format internal storage, then factory reset......
all data will be lost on the phone but should give you a fresh install...

thankfully i hope its resolved now (>6 hours up)
this is what i did
official kg2 kernal
factory reset
official kg2 rom (sam firmwares)
was having the same issue till now
rooted with cf
did cache wipe and factory reset with dalvik wipe
now the same i had done before too but not the dalvik wipe. it seems to have done the trick.
one more thing since i didnt have the jig and wasnt going into dl mode. i hooked the mobile with pc. now it varied (15-1hour) but as soon as the diplay showed phone chargin i unhooked and took into dl mode

Phone is Rebooting after rooting

I updated to gingerbread xwjvh and no problems there. I installed the modem file for my signal no problem there.
So i decided to root for the first time using CF-Root-XW_XEE_JVB-v3.1-cwm3rfs
and now it's constantly rebooting non stop...please help very urgent
Did you do a factory reset and clear cache yet?
I think i fixed it...not sure if i did it right but all i did is put the phone back in download and used the recently released cf root for jvh....and it seemed to have calmed down...what i don't understand is what is the difference between the kernel and rom??
When I flashed JVB, I got a few FC's as I forgot to wipe data. Afterwards, no probs at all.

Wi-Fi won't turn on

Just got a brand new i9505 and the Wi-Fi won't turn on.
When I hit the Wi-Fi toggle it goes on for 1 sec then back off. I have tried a factory reset etc but just can't turn it on. I can't believe it's actually faulty. This is my 2nd faulty S4 out of the box. I brought a i9500 about a month ago and it keeps freezing & rebooting after a minute of use. Unfortunately I can't send that one back as it has a custom Rom & there is no way to reset the counter. I gave up on it and through it in the draw.
I decided to get a new one but went with the i9505 this time. How can I have so much bad luck. Is the S4 that unreliable?

I had the same problem with a custom rom wifi won't turn. All i did was change the kernel.
Hope this will solve your problem.

Instead of clicking the wifi toggle, why not try to go into settings and mobile networks
and turn it on there.
Good luck!

I,m using KERNEL][INT'L][AOSP/TW][6/10/2013B] KT-SGS4 - MDM - KTweaker
You can try booting into recovery and clearing the Cache and Dalvik Cache to fix the wifi. It's worked for me and other people on this forum.
i also have the same problem on my S4, basically the wifi wont turn on, i already did flashing firmware, wipe cache and dalvik cache but still the same thing
yeah same here. I've been researchin and flashin almost a month now and nobody seriously nobody could fix this issue. shame. i hate that it happened suddenly and without a warning.
Happened to me also...This is how I fixed it (accidentally of-course ):-
---First mistakenly dirty flashed stock ROM via odin v 10...That was an honest mistake
---Couldn't start my phone due to it...FC messages were appearing again and again...
---went to download mode...directly flashed CF-Auto Root and TWRP from ODIN again...
1) Wiped everything from TWRP
2) Went to download mode and flashed Stock ROM via Odin.
3) WiFi didn't turn on even in Stock ROM (came as a shock to me)
4) went to download mode...directly flashed CF-Auto Root and TWRP from ODIN again
5) Flashed "Doctors-Amputated-V3" and "CWM-Modem-I9500ZCUJOH2_2" via TWRP.
voila !! WiFi working again in the new ROM :laugh:
Hi mate,
Could you please explain what "Doctors-Amputated-V3" is? A custom ROM?
Basically, I have flashed the stock Samsung image and a previous backup, and still have issues having used PryFi. I'm trying to get my WiFi back to stock and probably flash a kernel or revert to whatever is most compatible, so as to stop my device rebooting...
Could you please recommend a kernel or modem to flash, and then the best kernel or modem to flash afterwards, in order for maximum compatibility. My S4 has always been stock rom, just with Root.
Appreciate your time Prateekgupta!
Cheers,

---Yes its a custom ROM...
---PryFi breaks phone's Wifi every time you use it...I've given up and uninstalled that app....Flash stock rom again through ODIN...
---The process I described didn't solve my problem...My wifi worked only for 20 minutes...After that it went back to grey...
---No software trick can help if your Wifi and Bluetooth both are not working...Its basically the Wifi antenna/IC that needs to be fixed...Its a hardware issue...

[HELP] No sound, No WIFI

Hi guys. I bought an S4 I9505 Yesterday. Got it home, and set straight to setting up a custom rom and recovery etc. I tried to Omega 4.3 V2 first. But it ended up getting stuck in a Boot loop..Then i tried Omega 4.2 V11. That worked fine with no Sound from speakers etc. I have no idea how to sort it out. I wiped the phone, cache and Dalvic cache before and after install etc. But still no sound.
Tried to install a stock firmware and start again, but unfortunatly the stock firmware that was on the phone when i bought it was I9505XXUDMH8 with the No downgrade bootloader. When i try to flash back to the original firmware now, theres no Wifi or no sound...so its even worse than the omega flash. I have tried everything i can think off and im at a loss..
Any help is appreciated.

re-flash the MH8 stock firmware (untick "auto-reboot" when it pass, pull battery, insert it, boot into recovery,wipe data and cache, reboot)
if it didnt fix, flash MH8 modem twice http://d-h.st/UcW before flashing the stock, wipe, reboot.
Sorted now. Thanks for the reply. After downloading loads of different firmwares, i downloaded an Odexed MH8 pre-rooted rom and flashed that. Finally everything works. Massive relief all round.

[Q] How do I get sound to work on my s4?

Hi,
I recently got the I337m s4 that was originally under Bell (canadian carrier). The first mistake, I think I made was immediately flashing it by using the chainfire autoroot method with odin. After I did, I installed the gummy rom. Ever since then, I cannot get the sound to work on my phone. I am not sure if it is a modem issue. I hope it is not a hardware issue. I already tried going to
From searching different threads on here, one user of the i9505 variant was able to get sound working by using odin to flash the stock rom. I linked the thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698073
Is this the proper way to start troubleshooting? I already tried getting back to stock by using odin 3.07 and the firmware below that did not work:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/?page=1&model=SGH-I337M&pcode=0#firmware
Should I try flashing stock again but this time by doing the battery pull method (pulling the battery, before rebooting, after flashing is complete) that a lot people suggest? Did I select the correct firmware from sammobile?
P.S. When I did go back to stock, the boot screen samsung always played sound.
some ideas
try flashing the modems
reflash rom and check md5 before flashing
restore your nandroid
i think 3.09 is latest odin, but never used it
are you wiping all including system before flashing rom--i do it 3x
I have not tried flashing the modem but I read on xda that when you flash the whole stock firmware from sammobile, you end up re-flashing the modem since it is in the firmware. I will try flashing modem separately since I have not done that, yet.
When I flash, I always wipe dalvik cache, cache and do a factory reset before I start.
Btw, I did go flash the firmware from sammobile today and unrooted my phone. I still get no sound when playing music. The only sound I get is the samsung boot sound, when booting my phone.

Only other thing I can think of is to back up personal data and wipe your cards.
It seems like every time I do factory reset from the phone or flash using odin, the sound works for 5 minutes, when I play a track. Then I have to restart the phone and sometimes the sound comes back sometimes it doesnt. Otherwise, everything else working fine.
[FIXED]
Partly, because I had misplaced my OEM battery, I did not mention this before. The whole time my phone would randomly restart and not play sounds, I was using the anker 7800mah batter. After, I put the OEM stock battery back in, everything is working fine now! I am still on stock firmware but was able to root using chainfire with no issues.:good:

Note 3 lolipop problem

Hi to everyone,
I have some problems with my SM-N9005 I will explain everything from beginning what I did so you can have a clear picture. I had stock 4.4.2 rom when I bought my phone but I am a app freak so I had to do root actually my friend did it using odin because I am not so good with android knowledge. That was almost 2 years ago and with 4.4.2 I had no problems. Using camera, recording, wifi everything worked great. I have fastest class San Disk 64 GB memory card and I set camera video to save directly on it and it worked without any problems. This past month my phone started to be slow because of 2 years junk and using so I decided to put latest custom rom (I think 5.1.x something) but my friend was afraid if we dont put good rom that we will brick my phone so he told me to do a reset factory defaults and the phone will be unrooted and then go to software update option and update it to 5.0. I couldn't do that because it reported error phone changed or something like it was rooted but it was not. Lucky for me before root we did cwm backup of my phone so my friend restored backup and then we tried again software update again but still same error phone is changed (I was hundred precent sure that phone is unrooted but still no luck). Then we decided to install Kies and do firmware upgrade from options tab and it worked. It was 1.3 Gb update and kies showed that it is 5.0 and last firmware version for note 3. So I am using phone for few days now but I noticed few problems. Everytime I restart phone it forgets all wifi passwords and also when I come home I meen when I change ruter same story. Today I wanted to talk a picture and when I took a picture and go to gallery to see it (from camera up left corner see last image) phone restarted and when I wanted to record a video it said recording failed and then it restarts every time.Everything else is working great, phone is fast,maybe battery drains faster than on 4.4.2 but it is not a big problem for me. Sorry for my english if I have some mistakes. Can you help me please with these 2 issues?
??
Anyone please?
Did you try with a factory reset ?https://www.androidpit.com/factory-reset-note-3
You could possibly try flashing the stock android 5.0 with odin, that should be the best way of making sure everything is installed properly unless anyone thinks that would be a bad idea.
Chris
I tried factory reset and same story, ok I will try with odin I will go to see my friend in few days and then I will post results
So I solved it by:
Using Odin 3.11.1
I have already tried Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flashed the latest stock Lolipop or older lollipop with ODin and nothing solved the problem.
So I tried to flash the latest stock lolipop with Odin and marking checked (Auto Reboot , F. Reset Time , Phone EFS clear, Phone Bootloader update).
I suspect that the Phone EFS clear did the trick. It's function is related to the modem and radio of the phone. And clearly the modem has a problem here.
I hope this will help anybody out there having this issue.
This problem happened after trying to flash lollipop using FlashFire app to reserve the root that I had in my previos Android KK 4.4.2.
