No clockwordmod in my phone galaxy s2

hi guys I just bought a new sgs2 from bell canada and now Ive rooted the phone with all the instructions inside XDA and I have the CWM app in my phone with superuser but when I go in CWM and want to reboot in clockworkmod recovery its just rebooting into the blue menu with only 4 choice wish are
reboot now
wipe x.....
wipe..
that's it I just cannot bo into clockworkmod why ?? Ive tried to unroot the phone and made full factory reset but I just can't see this crazy menu that let me safe the file etc..

I'm guessing u flashed backed to stock kernel?

Yes; no cwm recovery for you if you've flashed the Bell kernel back on.

As long as you're on stock Rom and not a frankenstien package you can upgrade when there is an upgrade available for your country/ carrier. If you want upgrade before use odin

The latest Samsung build I tried was KI4; excellent firmware and is leaps and bounds above the Bell firmware in every aspect. There are newer 2.3.5 builds, but I'm not on a Samsung based ROM currently.
Bell Canuck thread.
Firmware thread.
Search Original Android Dev for the latest/greatest firmware; it changes rapidly.
I wouldn't worry about updating your firmware via Kies if you're on Bell; you may NEVER see an update.

thanks for your fast reply guys !
but I dont understand why everyone tell (you must check your cell version like KG2 ,KG3 etc.. and its must be the same) and you guys running very different think as we should in North america ? like some guys running poland version ?
if I download the same version as your will it fit with my phone since I just posted all the infos of my phone right here ?
Ive tried to pu a different modem in the phone section of odin and clicked on start and its just freezed so I was like SHHHHHHHIT did I just broke it so its ok I was able to fix it right after !
I suppose I should not just one file in PDA but in all the 3 right ? and all the 3 MUST be the same right ?
im so sorry IM A NOOB! but there are toooo much informations everywhere and I dont want to **** my 599$phone with one simple click lol since BELL dont give a ....of there customers !

Read and research some more until you're comfortable. You only have to worry about matching kernel to firmware if you're doing a simple root, and retaining your current firmware. I've run 3 or 4 of the XXK_ _ firmwares, which are all Euro specific. No issues whatsoever.
Bell would likely tell you to pound sand if you tried to get warranty work done however, despite the fact you would have an official Samsung firmware (but not Bell's firmware).
When/if you flash a non-Bell firmware follow the instructions in the thread I linked to the letter, and yes, PDA is all you need, it has CSC, kernel, etc... in it.
You can then track down a CF-Root kernel for that firmware.

Hmmm, I think it's normal, as we know there are millions s4 out of there, which means OTA is coming out part by part, like some user update in day 1, some user in day 2, some in day 3, and so on, because not matter how powerful server and bandwidth they got, I don't think it could possibly withstand the pressure of updating millions device at same time or very short period...

Useless updates..

Hi everyone, today morning when I take my phone in my hand after awaking I had see a popup was appeared which says New firmware & software updates are available for download and install.. I was really feel glad that I m going to make my device Kitkat 4.4.. anyways I had start downloading, first the firmware has downloaded which was 22mb data download and install with my permission. . Device rebooted and after reboot a new popup appears with software updates, which was 138mb data.. I continued this download also and installed quickly.. device rebooted again and install all downloaded software data.. after all of installations I goes into about phone to check what have I got.. that was really shocking for me that I m still on 4.3 jellybean.. I have checked out my whole device and nothing new I had found.. I don't understand what the hell of this update affect on my device.. no one new app aur setting I had found.. the bugs of 4.3 are still irritating me as previous.. I don't know what kind of joke samsung sent me in shape of updates.. we all Grand 2 users are waiting for Kitkat update since last 2 months when a rumor appeared on Internet about Kitkat update for samsung Galaxy S3, Note 2 and Grand 2 also.. and today I got this useless joke.. what do u think???
Sent from my SM-G7102 using XDA Free mobile app

It's true about the waiting but SamSung hadn't never said officially about kitKat for grand 2.
Also there are many phones which doesn't get updates.
And also keep in mind that kitKat updates minimum size is for moto g (i tHink) ie. 230 or something. When touchwiz modifications are added it will be 450mb+

Thanks for information and comments.. this is not an issue that we have got Kitkat or not.. my actual issue is that what I have got in this so called update??? All apps are same as previous, all settings are same as previous.. the known issues of 4.3 are still we have.. so what is this kind of update??

New Update N910VVRU2BPA1

I've been chatting with Samsung Support through Twitter about Kies not taking my serial # for my Note 4. They asked for my serial # and my imei #, so I gave it to them and they asked what version i was on and told them BOK3, they wrote back saying there is a newer version, so I asked which one is it. So here is a screenshot.
OTA Update provided by @hsbadr thanks to @doinsvelt
Official Firmware & OTA Update from N910VVRU2BOG5 to N910VVRU2BPA1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...mware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937
Safe Upgrade N910VVRU2BPA1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=65278655
Update: if your battery takes a dump with the OTA, it is recommend that you do a repair via the Verizon assistant or via Kies. But if you are on a safe upgrade version then this will take you out of safe upgrade and keep you on BOG5 incremented bootloader.

Maybe a new Samsung version, but maybe not a Verizon version?

Here are the screenshots.
They responded back that it is 5.1.1 with security patches

So Samsung says there is another version they have out. But has Verizon released it yet? The manufacturer releases versions to the carriers who then release it to the phone owners after they do their "branding". Case in point, Samsung released 6.0.1 for the Note 4, but we don't have it yet. So

I just got this update. Here it is.

It's up and running now. The wifi notification is gone which is great.

Got it here as well. Glad the wifi notification is gone.... now to see if it still references AT&T in the Wifi Settings. LOL

My bad, I got it too.

Hopefully it fixes my battery life problem, after the 5.1.1 update my battery life is TERRIBLE. It is the worse it has ever been and that's with trying to different factory OEM batteries.......The Note 4 really was a disappointment for a phone with such awesome hardware...

If anybody able to pull OTA and link it, I would put in the OP, I have it downloaded, but not installed. If anybody can guide me to pull it, I would appreciate it

Interesting

My Battery life got better after the first 5.1.1 update. Weird.

Yes, so glad the wifi notification is gone!

Please if someone could capture... it will be awesome, sammobile still not post 5.1.1, so it would be almost a year until they put BPA1 available, the only way i installed 5.1.1 was from a zip file someone upload it

Hi,i was wondering how you go about installing 5.1.1 zip. Well my question is ,are you using a retailer edition and what recovery you went into flash?,is it stock recovery if you're using RE?,am just little confuse about it.Thank you in advance.

Its quite simple indeed just download the zip file from the forum 5.1.1 then save it in ur sd card, press up volume, power and home button at the same time to access stock recovery, navigate to option where is says update from a file, there you go it will update to 5.1.1, batter been slightly different (not a big improvement) im indeed a very very heavy user.... i received emails all day from my job, need to check whatsapp several times, there is some annoyances however... like wifi notification that is connected never go away... the wireless and fast charging notification remain in 5.0.1 now in 5.1.1 just says it once time and disappear, album cover full screen its completly gone.... performance in task screen and some apps display faster and also navigate throught touchwiz its a little bit better... not a BIG BIG difference... they put connect to at&t network (even thou its verizon), everything its fixed in BPA1 update so if you want to give a shot go ahead... i mean its not a big big diference but if you are bored of being in 4.4.4 or 5.0.1 go ahead! good luck

This may need to go devs but notice every time you boot into recovery on this update it says "installing update". Not sure exactly what that means cause I am no dev but it seems like the the recovery is more locked down on this update.
I also did factory reset after update. So not sure why it would do that every time booting into recovery.

for last week battery been dropping fairly quickly to about 40%, then stopping abruptly. Got the update last night. After almost 12 hours on battery, it is still at 88%.

My battery wasn't doing very well until I disabled fast charging and charged regularly. But have always noticed that even on kitkat

Odin files

Can somebody please point me to the proper Odin files to manually install MM on a N910C North American USA region? I can't find it anywhere on Google and I'd like to update my phone as I've gotten no OTA.

"North American" N910C note 4 variant doesn't exist. Go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and search for SM-N910C firmware. There are several regions that released MM for N910C, but I recommend the Poland (XEO) version.

Ah I see. Didn't know that. I live in NY and bought an international off of CL so i just assumed. Thank you, though. Is the MM update even recommended? I heard people having battery issues and I already am having extreme issues on lollipop. I assume that's how I got the phone so cheap. The battery is whacked out on mine.

I have been using marshmallow for roughly a month and the battery usage is way better compared to lollipop. My current screen on time is 3 hrs and 48 minutes with 11% battery life remaining and I am using your same model phone on AT&T. I would recommend Marshmallow update for your device.

I see. I just don't have a pc. I was able to temp root with king root, flash twrp, and then from there flash a kernel to get perm root.......so is there any way to get to MM from there without a pc? I can't get a rom to flash, it just gives me an error about being unable to map the file. Not sure what that is about, it was the note 5 rom v05. Radio and kernel flashed just fine though. Edit: Keeps giving me an Error 7 when trying to flash ROMs in particular. Edit again: It was the kernel i was using to Perm root. It wasn't liking me installing a rom with that i guess. I restored and skipped the install of that and then was able to get a rom to install so ignore that, but my original question about MM with no PC still persists.

Yes please lol. I think I was sold a phone with bad hardware or maybe just a bad battery. On stock LP the battery acts really funny. It'll get to a certain percentage and either shut down on me or I have visually watched the percentage just drop by 1 percent until it's dead in 2 second intervals even after attempting to calibrate it. It seems better on a custom rom and I haven't experienced it yet. I'm hoping it's just a bad battery but I can't seem to find another one to buy to test it out. A couple of times on stock too while changing animation speeds the screen would start flashing red (not the red borders) I mean the whole screen would flicker and would only go away on a restart. Not sure what that was about. I only payed $100 off of CL for this phone. If it really is just the battery, that's a helluva deal lol.
