what's cwm? how to enter that mode?


Added on April 12, 2012, 8:50 am

bro, using stock rom but rooted

good idea on the sd card. will try that
*
When the phone is off, Power + Home + Volume Up

This will go into CWM (if your phone rooted).

You can try to wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik (in advance) for the worst case scenario.

i just try to power up the phone with only battery (w/o sd or sim), still the same  doh.gif

tx for the info. will try that. btw, when you said wipe here & there, does that mean i will lose my data & apps?  shocking.gif
*
Yes, app and data will lost UNLESS you backup them earlier... sad.gif What happened to it? Flashed new rom and such happen? You can TRY flash new rom that do not require wipe and hope that solve the problem. Just thinking of different ways to solve your problem...

I noticed this as well. On highway (going at 140 kph), confirm cannot get. Surrounding sound affects that as well.

hi bros,

manage to enter the cwm mode

btw, need some help here. i see got few options

1) reboot system now
2) apply update from sdcard
3) wipe data/factory reset
4) wipe cache partition

which one should i try first? and will doing that unroot my device?

tx   icon_question.gif

1. Wipe data/factory reset

But this will wipe everything smile.gif

It will not unroot smile.gif


Added on April 12, 2012, 10:39 amAgain, if anyone has any idea besides wiping to solve his problem please icon_question.gif I am running out of ideas >.<

Checked , IMEI lost

Erm...

IMEI lost = gone case.

Happened to me once.

Not sure if you have those IMEI backup before this (EFS file)

Not sure if you can check your SD if you connect to computer.

My case happen when phone can boot up but cannot detect sim. If you can't on it then....hmm! I can't remember your phone can on or not.

If can on do this (works for me when I lost IMEI)
1. Assume you got EFS backup in your SD
2. Copy all your data from both SD to my laptop etc
3. Format external sd
4. Wipe phone using settings inside phone / factory reset
5. Wipe phone using CWM if still available
6. After this, use terminal emulator to force the EFS to restore (so call).

I am on busy hectic schedule today so can't reply much. If you google restore EFS using terminal emulator, should find your answer.

THis works IF your phone can on. If cannot on...send to sc maybe?

Do you guys buy 32gb memory card?
Or will that slow the phone down?

I am a bit ol skool.
My first smartphone.
But I remember back in the days on a candy bar phone, the phone shops used to advice me not to get a big memory card, was 2gb back then, cause it will slow down the phone.

Does it apply to a smartphone like S2 as well?

If yes, then Ill just buy 16gb.
Which brand is recommended?
Toshiba?Sandisk?
*
Slow down? Nope. Using 32gb class 10. No problem at all. Smooth like baby butt.

hi guys,
i've got a problem. i tried flashing Omega ROM on my SGS2 G version but found out that it only works for the non-G version.
So, i restored using CWM but now, my SIM cannot be recognized and it says baseband unknown.

Anyone got this problem before?
A few xda threads mention that i need to rename some corrupted files using adb shell. Not familiar with that method and I'm not sure if it will really work. DOnt want to further screw up the phone.

Any help will be appreciated.
*
check of your imei is still there? Do a full wipe, flash back another rom.

If got files, then nvm, just bring it back and act blur.

Say your work suffer because you didn't realise no one can contact you for half a day.

And now you're using a dumbphone (3310 or substitute), and say that now you can't meet customers, so end up suffer more.

Ask them to quickly fix it.

From my experience, works very well when you say, I don't want to talk to you. Call your manager.

S3 will sure come. iPhone 5 will also come. Who knows when it will be out and rumors are rumors.

Question is do you need a phone now? Of course if you can wait and got the enough $$ to buy new phone later, wait lo.

Also if you want buy now, advisable to buy non g set smile.gif

this is correct. open price also less than half of original price.
some sellers here accept trade-in but not very good price la.

but non-g is quite laku here. some more white.

For me, if I really want to buy a new phone, trade in easier and less hassle. I usually tell the shop take it or leave it and most of the time jadi rclxm9.gif
