It seems like a bug of SlimBean.
Try re-flashing the ROM again. If it still doesn't work, report the problem in the SlimBean discussion thread, and use another browser until they fix it.

[SOLVED]Cant get into recovery, i9100 stuck on galaxy Logo

HI,
Galaxy s2 i9100, stuck on "Samsung galaxy S II gt-i9100" screen, unable to get into recovery.
The problem occurred after updating CWM recovery from rom manager.
What can I do?
Should i try flash stock rom via Odin? Download mod still reachable.
Or should i try flash recovery?
comming from wanam 14.1.
any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Which version of Android is Wanam 14?
Since u cannot enter recovery, flash via Odin is ur only option. I don't think flashing a recovery would help..
I have heard many people warn against using ROM Manager with i9100.

Search for 'Philz kernel'.

Save it to ur external SD card.
Flash that in stock recovery..

Ohh.. ok..
Flashing via Odin can fail due to a number of reasons, which is why I always suggest Mobile Odin for flashing and stock recovery for rooting.

S2 i9100g bootloader unlock

Can anyone help me how to unloack my galaxy s2 i9100g bootloader?
Running on 4.1.2 jelly bean.
Please help me
Why not ask or search in this thread?

To unlock bootloader, simply use your phone. One of the few good things about Samsung is they don't lock stuff down, comes already unlocked.
Unless you were getting terminology mixed up and actually wanted something else?

Have you rooted your phone or have you only installed cwm recovery? You can open cwm recovery (=bootloader) by pressing "power+home+volume up" (I hope you knew this ).

I know that
The bootloader was unlocked all the time. Since you flashed cwm, the cwm bootloader is aviliable. What happens when you press "power+home-volume up"?

[Q] Apps opening when on a call

Hello,
Apologies if this has been addressed before but I cannot find a solution with my search ability.
When I am on a call for a while, say more than 2-3 minutes, random apps opens automatically. Examples are calendar app, second call is placed to my voicemail, google now etc.
I beleive this is due to the touch screen when there is any contact to the screen when I am on a call. I've tried to clean the screen but still the same problem. All happened since I upgraded to CM10.
Anyone had the same problems or suggest anything to fix this please?
Thanks

This could be ur problem mate! When moving from ICS to JB, a full wipe is RECOMMENDED.
As for ur apps and data, why not backup and restore them?
