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

[rothariger]

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!

Is this serious? If it is, just put in your information as it asks you to and it'll go away...

Edit: It seems I misread your post, but jk0l is right, it's probably your efs. Look for a the thread about how to recover your IMEI

 

[jk0l]

Your efs is missing something.
There was a solution posted somewhere.
Sorry, cant recall which thread was it.
Try search the whole forum.

 

[rothariger]

thanks jk0l i will search that.

i remember that i have read something about permissions, but i could find it...

*sigh*....

This is the THIRD separate thread (not counting the solution thread, and actually one other) I have seen on this issue.

Go here.

Hi,

Did you manage to find a solution for this issue? i am having the same problems. I have an additional problem of unable to register onto network as it did not show the sim pin screen. Need to disable sim pin to be able to register.

Thanks in advance for the solution.

See my post right above yours. You were probably typing it at the same time I was typing mine. (this is for the lockscreen/power options menu issue)

Tried what I linked? I believe you may have to be rooted for it to work, but I'm not absolutely positive.

Are you rooted?

You have the efs/imei/keystr problem. You will have the problem until you fix it. See here:

yes everybody is pointing this file, but i have the file and the phone is still working wrong...

Ok. Open up root explorer, long press the keystr file and open with text viewer. Does it have 'ON' written there?

[rothariger]

yes it does.

i also deleted the current file, reboot, created a new keystr file, and didnt worked.



i dont know if it is related, but my phone was one of the phones with USB problems
and also de imei problem, from time to time i lost the imei and i must to restore the efs folder.

 

[sxi200]

So if you restore your efs folder do.you still have the problem?

Does restoring your efs show you your correct imei?

I also had this problem for over a month and couldn't fix it. When I copied the keystr & mps code files into the efs folder it fixed the problem. Make sure your keystr file name is all lowercase.

Yes, I believe it's case sensitive.

 

[rothariger]

yes all in lowercase..

i dont know what is mps code...


and yes it shows the correct imei...

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.

Hi,

I am having the same issue and have copied the 2 files into my efs folder.

Still the problem persist. Also, with the issue that the lock screen doesn't appear, if there is a sim lock pin required, i will not be prompted as well.

and yes, i still have my IMEI intact.

Please advice.

They are actually supposed to go in the /efs/imei folder. Did you put them there, or just to /efs?

Thanks. That did it!!! I only put them in EFS/
