Hi
My Phone details are as follows
Samsung Galaxy S i 9000
firmware version 2.3.6

I am trying intsall the new room by following instructions from here at thedroidcity.com/galaxy-s-gt-i9000-upgrade-to-official-jellybean-4-2-1-firmware
But not able to root . What ever application I used ( gingerbreak, root with restore, CASUAL-PublicBeta4, ROM Manager , super oneclick,InitialCFRootFlasher, mtofail) I am never successful in root my phone. Always the applications go unending with message that files are read only and su can be copied. Even I tried mount system(r/w, r/o). Not much use
Request team member to help me in understanding how to root this phone and install the latest rom ( Hope the jellybean 4.2.1 is the latest )
Thanks

chech settings of dialer - somewhere there'll be which contacts are shown

you could try wiping your dalvic and cache just and reflash the rom if you dont get any other solution

Thanks a lot. I reflashed ROM and now the problem seems solved. But issue now is that it is taking time to connect to 3g netwrok and I need to struggle a lot a connect( switch on/off airplane mode, installed 3g manager, reset settings). Is there any solution for this
Thanks

[Q] [ROM] Darky's Rom 9.2 Extream Wifi Signal(Error)

Hello Guys,
Does anyone know about the Signal Strength Problem?
The Extreme Edition for Darky's Rom, Have some Wifi Error Problem and Lower Signal problem. While I am using 9.0.2 Version Signal for me is quite Strong. Yet, the change of the 9.1 and 9.2 version, i faced some Error Problem for Wifi and force to reboot all the time to get connect to Wifi. The Wifi Connection in setting will state Error but i try to reconnect to Wifi, it seem to keep connect and disconnecting.
I already have the Darky's Configurator and tick the alternative wifi driver but nothing changes. Darky's can you please help on this?? Is this because of the phone compatibility version do not cope with the Darky's Rom Version? Urgently need help..
Thank you
*Yet, i would like to thank darky for the continuing trying to improve the ROM.
Thank again.
Regards,
Jonathan

When I'm using 9.1 previously with the Configurator App. Then I re-flash everything again when go into 9.2.
i had the same issue and did a research around XDA forums and Darky's ROM forums. I found a fix for this bug.
I have attached both fixes but i've used the v8.0 fix and it seems to be working great.
- put the ZIP file on your root directory of your internal SD
- reboot into recovery
- apply any zip from SD
- choose zip from SD
- apply and reboot
* steps above may not be the exact wording but u get the picture

Thank Very Much! Is working fine now for me.
Don't forget to donate for darky's hard work if u haven't already done so.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
ive tried both them zips n i still cant connect to our wifi, any ideas?
I had the same problem but its easy to solve:
Go to wireless settings on your phone
Find APN Settings, if theres nothing do a new apn with your internets name. ( I mean like, who you pay for, its hard to tell in english...) Like here in finland is dna, saunalahti etc.
Leave the default settings and done!

[Q] [MIUI ROM]Problems and Troubleshooting

I just performed a fresh installation of the MIUI RC5 on my i9000 and Have a few problems.
1. My network provider is not being recognized at all. (Even after a couple of restarts)
2. My IMEI is not being displayed. (Even after deleting the efs folder using Root Explorer.)
So please respond immediately as I wish to continue using this ROM.
Thanks in advance
you have to restore the efs backup that you should of made before the installation.
that will restore the IMEI and give you network coverage.
if you cant do that, re-flash the ROM, and if it still doesnt work, you will have to flash back to froyo with pit and repartition and start the whole process again.
Thx a lot dude. Trying it right now. Hope it works *fingers crossed* http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon11.gif
I tried to install MIUI through Rom manager and now the phone just flashes SAMSUNG but never boots up. I have Infuse-rooted-CWM installed. Please HELP
Thanks
Galnet MIUI v4.0
WIFI Sleep policy does not seem to work. It is set to sleep when screen is turn off, but it never turn off. This is draining up the phone battery. Any one any idea?

So you have the Samsung Infuse? Because this is the Galaxy S forums and I don't think Miui is even available on the Infuse so no wonder it isn't working(and the way you installed it isn't the correct procedure anyway). You can probably install a fresh official rom for your phone some how through odin but I'm not familiar with the Infuse. Best to go to the Infuse forums and ask. Hope this helps

[Q] Problem with Slim ICS 3.5

Hi guys,
i have been using Krarvind's Slim ICS 3.5 for about 10 days and I absolutely loved it. I have just updated to 3.6 which caused my phone to bootloop
So, after an hour or so of labouring and trying to work my way back in to it i'm now back on 3.5, but I have absolutely no signal/3G coverage. Wi-Fi works no problems, just no signal!
I went in to the APNs and there is nothing there - I tried to save a new APN and it wont let me - has anyone encountered this before?
Thanks in advance
Haven't experienced this myself but a few things come to mind...
First would be to check if you imei number correct? If not you would need to restore this from a backup.
If IMEI number appears correct then I would try flashing the modem again or a different modem. Modems found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783
If this doesn't work you can try flashing 3.5 base and essentials again.
If that doesn't work search the threads and google or hope someone else can give you an answer. If you don't find any help then as a last resort you can flash a stock rom with Odin although I'm sure there must be an easier way.

I've had a similar problem, the updating to 3.6 just went wrong. No bootloop but loads of FC.
My solution has been going back to recovery, do a full wipe (wipe data/restore factory settings) and install 3.6 again. Everything seems to work now but I have to re-install and configure all my apps... :-(
Hope it helps...
Check in About > Phone
Under baseband does it say UNKNOWN ?
this happened to me once, need to reflash the modem. No need for wipes etc

You can set static IP with the built-in Settings app(Wireless & networks, Wi-Fi
settings, menu key, Advanced).
Use this application.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/wifi-static/com.farproc.wifi.statIc
thanks for this answer , but i'm still wondering why before installing cmw , my wifi was working flawlessly , and now i'll have to install this?!
and also what about this damn cmw that's here and still not working, is there a mean to remove it?!
This is common issue after CF root, and occurs due to binaries
Install busybox, open busybox and install binaries inside busybox application, once successfull installation it shud work
Otherwise
Flash stock kernel - wifi will strat working again
then root - install busybox - install binaries, then flash CF root kernel.
thanks doc for your answer ,after reading it, i'm willing to flash the stock kernel , at least it'll remove me this Cmw, but i must confess that this operation scare me , heard a lot about the brick issues with the xxlpy kernel , so i need some advices :
1 - i've downloaded the rom but it's a no wipe one , will it remove the cmw and the super SU?! otherwise how should i do to remove it?!
2 - what are the risks and what should i do to avoid them
3 - if u cand send me some links about how to flash this rom and how to remove all from my phone i would be greatly grateful to you
thanks a lot for your answer and have a nice day
Which ROM you are using?
yes non wipe ROM also remove it, but m thinking just flash kernel not full ROM
thank you doc you're my savior , i've downloaded the N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar.md5
so i was willing to install it , and where can i find the kernel ? it it better to use the kernel only or does this one ok also , btw i've deleted all on my phone so i don't mind
also other problem - as if the actual one isn't sufficient --, i'm trying to install the usb driver for my computer but can't install them , kies is on my computer but still not detecting my phone , any idea about it
thanks a lot for your help i'm attached to my keyboard waiting for your answer
Oh you hav already download then just flash downloaded rom with.pc odin(with pda tab)
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
the problem is that my computer won't recognise my galaxy note even after installing kies / drivers , is there a solution to this ? what should i do i order to use odin and flash this md5?!
i' m begining to be mad !!!!
thanks doc i'm waiting impatiently for your help!!!!
Wifi Probs after rooting Note
Hello
I am having the same issues after rooting my Note.
Basically I'm using the UK ICS 4.0.3 Rom from Sammobile - N7000XXLQ2_N7000XXLPT_N7000XEULP4
FRESH ROM INSTALL UNROOTED - NO APPS ADDED
Checked that wifi picked up signal and worked ok
Checked that data connection picked up signal and worked ok
Checked phone was registered on network and seemed to be ok
Pretty fast by all accounts !
*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
However...
NOW ROOTED - using CF-Root - SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2 - v5.6
APPS ADDED FROM PREVIOUS CWM 4.0.3 BACKUP IMAGE
YellowTriangle Away V 1.70 used to clear counts etc
Checked that wifi picked up signal and doesn't work
Checked that data connection picked up signal and works ok occasionally
Checked phone was registered on network and seems hit and miss - registered one minute then not the next - unable to make calls - have to keep searching for networks manually - turning phone on / off / battery in / out !
Followed the advice from the from the post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29554858#post29554858 - regarding 'SPEEDMOD K3-11'
****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Now when I open CWM manager app, I get the message "This version of CWM manager should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer. It appears you are running a different kernel.Various features have been disabled"
Also still - NO WIFI !
Just seems a bit odd ??
Don't know about you, but I'm wondering what else isn't working properly and is it actually worth rooting at all ??

Uninstall kies
Install only drivers
And change usb port
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
as i said before , wifi is working - hope so - since i can see the networks available around , the only problem is that it's continuously try to get ip and log in ,
now i'm worried about that damn usb that won't recognize my phone , and let me use odin to reinstall my system
if anyone has an idea i would gladly listen
thanks everybody
is there any mean to install the firmware i've downloaded without using odin?!
thanks for your answers
don't be panic and your issue is not serious.
you can use Mobile odin if you having root. if your root is working then try flashing kernel with mobile odin
Still NO Wifi - After UK ICS 4.0.4 Upgrade!
Downloaded ICS 4.0.4 from 'checkfus downloader' today
Product Code: GT-N7000ZBAXEU
Latest firmware: N7000XXLRK/N7000XEULP5/N7000XXLRK/N7000XXLRK
Modified: 24/07/2012 11:17:01
Filename: GT-N7000_XEU_1_20120724111617_83hlhgn7j9.zip.enc2
Installed using ODIN - rebooted, checked 'About Phone' - Version 4.0.4
However I have since rooted it using the CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5
Yellow Triangle 1.70 - worked and cleared the counts etc
Installed binaries via 'busybox'
(Haven't reinstalled - 'Speedmod K3-11')
and it still suffers the same 'NO WIFI CONNECTION' problem I had with ROOTED 4.0.3 ics with apps I'd installed via a CWM backup rom image
Any tips on how to get wifi to connect would be helpful - cheers
thaank you dr.ketan the word u've sent me relieved me because , indeed i'm panicked rofl - btw the fact of finding the right words to comfort people....mm are u a real doctor? -
i'm hoping truly that your words are the reality and not only to reassure me hhhhhh
right now i'm copying the md5 and the odin mobile pro 2.45 on the micro card , cross fingers and wish me good luck guys
right now i've installled mobile odin pro on my phone , but the problem is that it's sticked to the loading screen where it' says that it's checking super user support , and i have some msg from time to time at the bottom of the screen saying that mobile odin pro has been granted super user autorisation for interactive shell but still waiting so i'm begining to wonder if the root is alright , and so i'm asking
can i re - root my phone using the cmw zip and the busybox zip on an already rooted device?! if yes i'll do it right now
thanks for your help i'm waiting for your answer doc
It seems you have partially rooted device.
And that is the reason wifi is not working, i am saying this since long, i fear you won't brick device just for small issue.
Still i am saying once see there is enough space on system ROM? (check it with overview page of Titanium), i think in partial root titanium still works, as it uses own binary. if no 15MB spcace remove some non harmfull app e.g. arura live wall paper, youtube,Goggle+ this can be installed later.
After this again install busybox
open busybox and install from inside busybox
you should see msg 'succesfully installed'
then open superSU, if asked update binary too.
then try wifi shud work,
PS : yes I M ENT surgeon
glad to see that u're doctor too - i'm doctor in anesthesia reanimation , and we have good contact with surgeons since they're all the time funny - glad to see that u told me that my problem is a small issue and it won't brick my device , so i'm feeling a little more relieved , but still have to solve the problem
and there's some questions :
1 - when opening super SU i have this msg : the su binary needs to be updated , continue? how can i update them since wifi won't work? is there some specific files that i can update by the memory card?!
2 - i have a full unroot button in the super su settings , would it be a good idea to fully unroot the device to re root it after with the busybox?!
i'm on my way to download and install titanium i'll tell you about space on system rom once i'm done
thanks a lot again doc

WIFI ERROR \ Turnning on \ Wifi Goes To Grey

Hello Everybody ... Am a new member to Xda site but i learned alot through reading your posts long time ago...
anyway here is my problem MY GALAXY NOTE GTN7000 Wifi Is not Working....
Details: I Had The phone since febraury 2012 and it was GB 2.3.6
i Updated to I.C.S 4.0.3 Official Rom and rooted it in july 2012
suddenly in august 2012 the problem started to appear ((( Am Writing Dates so To Avoid the Possibility of Hard Brick or anything because the phone was working great till then )))
THE PROBLEM
1-When I Try To Open Wifi It just Lag and stop responding The ICON GOES TO GREY INSTEAD OF GREEN and stays like that till Reboot and some times stays grey after Reboot
2- when opening wifi from settings tab it says "Turning On Wifi " and stays like that Forever
3- the only Way To restore the wifi icon to white is trying to activate WIFI - Direct
4- Rebooting Used to fix the problem but now NOT
5- Removing the battery Used to fix the problem But NOW NOT
Fixes I Tried
1- Restore Factory Setting & Wipe Cache & Wipe Everything
2- Changing the Rom from (I.C.S 4.0.3 )to (GB 2.3.6 ) to (Paranoid Android ) to (I.C.S 4.0.4)
Sometimes after each format or rom flash wifi worked for 2 hours or even 24 hours normally then problem appear
3- Tried removing Wpa Supplicant ( Helped Sometimes Then NOT )
4- Tried Wifix TO change country code even manually did it
5- Adjusted the Nfram_Semacove i dnt remember the name actually from CC To All ( Worked then later Stopped )
6- Used Wifi Rescue (Worked for a while then Stopped )
7- I Flashed Alot of kernels ((Heared that syiah Kernal Fix this problem but nothing out for NOTE YET )
HELP
I know that many will think that its a hardware ISSUE BUT IF Its hardware then why sometimes it work !!!!!
What i really Think is : Its a BUG Changed some files of the system which are not restored by flashing new ROM !!! for example when i Flashed Roms and Kernels i Found WPA Supplicant unchanged with my router Config !!!!
I SENT THE PHONE TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID WILL CHECK AND REPLY within24 hrs but for sure its hardware and change Board which means 2800 EGP which is the price of new SGs2 soo am sure its a Bug or Software CAN ANY1 Help MEEEEEE

I am also facing the same problem for last one month and tried almost all the options tried by you but no relief. Wifi just works some time and other times it stays greyed. Can any one suggest any other solution as i also think it's software problem.
jesus christ, we are not BLIND!
anyway, i have same issues on sgs2
Same issue
@MOHPHR : I am facing the same issue as you.
I tried several ROMs from Original stock ICS to Paranoid to Crisleko's ROM.
Going into the airplane mode and then turning wifi on used to work, not anymore.
3G Data works just fine, not being able to use wifi is frustrating because when I leave it alone, it connects by itself randomly when I am at home for example.
I have done some extensive research and found an article that mentions wifi hardware problems resulting from ICS update on a galaxy S2. (Google: Samsung Galaxy S2 WiFi Issue BY Shaiful Borhan )
I did use the *#*#526#*#* and got the status: "NotSet Driver loaded [NG]".
Anyone can help please ?

Hi, I have been looking for days now for a forum that will be discussing this exact problem. I ve had this issue fora month or so now. I have restored to factory settings but it has not solved the problem. My galaxy note n7000 is not rooted nor does it have any special rom. I wouldnt even know how to install them. Where you able to find a fix? I am so tired of this problem, Im even contemplating the possibility of getting a note 2 and selling my n7000. I believe as well that it is most likely a software problem and im wondering if the soon to come jellly bean update could fix this issue.
Ps: after the wifi problem started, ive also noticed freezes and restars/ reboots.
Thanks for your help guys.:good:

I am also facing the same problem for last one month and tried almost all the options tried by you but no relief. Wifi just works some time and other times it stays greyed. Can any one suggest any other solution as i also think it's software problem.

@fedetipito I am still considering the hardware issue, although it seems a compatibility issue with the region/country as @fearkillerr mentioned in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436683)
I tried his solutions, none worked. The script one worked, but only once, then the problem kept repeating.
I upgraded to JB 4.2 then downgraded to stock GB 2.3 still the same issue. I am from the North Africa/Middle-East region, although when I was in Sweden in holidays and using a Swedish sim-card didn't have this issue. Any thoughts ? This problem is really really upsetting as we cannot use the WiFi properly. I am seriously considering simply abandoning my Galaxy Note N7000 and go for an iPhone 5, simply because I cannot even sell it (since no one would like a smartphone that doesn't have a proper wifi working).
I am having almost same problem with WiFi after I installed Custom ROM.
I tried only one method and it worked like a charm.
Go to WiFi connections and tell your phone to forget the network you are connected to, then re log. This problem did not happen after that 3 days now. Good Luck.
@Valium10 we initially cannot connect to any WiFi network, so we can't "forget" them. I don't think it is a "wifi network" problem.
" although when I was in Sweden in holidays and using a Swedish sim-card didn't have this issue"
And if you take SIM card out and power-on phone?Will wifi work?

Sometimes no, sometimes yes. It's kind of a malicious bug.
I am also facing the same problem and it seems it is hardware problem. May some dust or something else on the hardware or else we have dropped our phone some problem is there. When I gave to service center they asked that the motherboard needs to be replaced. But they refused to check it without that. I told that first try without replacing any parts and just check whats wrong in this if some repair can be done, but the service center people are so busy 50-60 peoples were waiting in line behind me to give there phones for service. They do not listen anything. They have tried by installing latest ROM and nothing else, that we can easily do it and for that also they have taken service charges.
Please someone tell me where exactly the wifi module is there, so we can open and check the problem ourself.
