Guys, again, need help here.

Rooted my S2 on Saturday (using supercurio based on the guide here). All was well until 720am this morning. The alarm clock was working at 650. LOL. But at 720, I realized my phone has been shut down since I could not use the home button anymore.

Then I switched it on...drove to work, and realized it auto rebooted itself and brought me to my SIM card lock screen.

Also, whenever I reboot, after root, i saw this exclamation mark ! at the galaxy screen.

Finally...I also noticed that when I press the Home button which will bring me to the lock screen, the background image will somehwo dim...and then become bright a little.



is this due to root issue? did not encounter anything like this before root. anyone experiencing this?

The exclamation mark (which is normal after flashing to a different kernel) can be removed by flashing back to the stock kernel. Please refer to page 1 after the rooting section on how to flash back a stock kernel. Alternatively, you could purchase the USB Jig which is quite handy as well in removing the exclamation mark and as well as reviving a bricked phone. Please also refer to page 1 for the link to purchase the Jig if interested.

Stock kernel will have problems with Wifi on some devices I think when used in conjunction with a custom rom.  Better to either buy a jig or just make one xD

Then I guess stock will work fine for you ^^..  tbh, I just want the themes some ROMs provide.. 

I use

1. Go EX Launcher
2. GO SMS

So already can theme inside tongue.gif  Just want the battery icons on top and the extended boot menu provided by custom roms.  The only thing I don't like about CR is that deodexed browsers lag in general when scrolling.

hmmm i guess i will just flash to stock kernel? the KIES thing is really stupid la. i have to uninstall it since it is slowing down my machine and throwing me errors whenever i reboot...but without it, my S2 cannot be detected via USB. =_= ish

and i'm using office laptop. home machine is mac...and don think odin can work on mac (correct me if i'm wrong).

i'll refer to the 1st page on how to flash to stock kernel (mine is KF1 i think)

thanks guys biggrin.gif

ok..i realized that my phone does not reboot if i put on table...but when it's in my pocket (vertical), it will some time reboot. hahaha. this is weird. but this only happens after i rooted it.

not sure if flashing to stock kernel would fix this
