ICS lockscreen, welcome screen and shutdown menu problems...

[ctomgee]

no problem, im starting to giving up, i hope that someone from samsung could fix this.


finally thanks to the user chx could fix the problem.
we fixed the problem by setting the keystr file permisions to r,w to all users.

Oh, didn't realize you're the same guy as this other thread.

I'm guessing one of the groups didn't have read access?

hi

Hi,

i updated mi SGS 2 to LPQ and i have those three problems.
the first thing i see is i dont get the welcome screen, i dont care this screen, but i get it as a symptom of my problem.
the second thing and the most bothering is that i cant get the lockscreen.
and the last thing is that when i press the lock button instead of showing the shutdown menu it shutdown.



i know this problems where present in the betas, but i flashed today a phone of a friend y he doesnt have any of these problems.


does anybody knows someway to fix this?



thanks!

shutdown phone,

HOME - VOLUMN UP - LOCK
>wipe data/factory reset
>yes -- delete all user data
>reboot system now

I didn't create the other thread.

Exactly the file has owner only rw permissions.

Screen Lock Problem

For ALL whoever are facing problems with the LOCK SCREEN here is the solution :
Tools Needed:
1. Hex Editor
2. Root Explorer
Steps to restore:
1. Using root explorer locate the /efs/imei/ folder. In that folder there should be a file called keystr. In my case the file was missing which is why the lock screen was missing and was causing my problems.
2. using root explorer create a new file called keystr
3. also in root explorer open the file keystr in text editor and type ON
4. now go into hex editor and locate the /efs/imei/keystr file.
5. using hex editor the first two values in green should be 4f and 4e. all others should be 00.
6. make sure you save the file.
7. reboot.

Press Thanks, if it helps you...

Alright. Try this!

I have attached the 2 files from the imei folder. Copy paste to your folder.

But you need to rename them to:

- keystr.txt to keystr, take out the .txt from the end
- mps_code.txt to mps_code.dat, replace .txt with .dat

If your phone needs to overwrite the old ones let it.

If you are on PC, just right-click the files and 'save as' to you PC, then move to your phone then use root explorer to move to the efs folder.

Glad you were able to fix. About the clock not really sure because I'm back on gingerbread, but I do believe it is more to the left side if I remember correctly.
