[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamshid:
Hello Everyone,

While trying to Flush my SGS2 with a cooked room using Odin my device got DEAD.

This is what happened exactly:

1- After successful room flushing the SGS2 got rebooted but unfortunately it did not loaded the room.(Stuck in boot screen_Black screen with Samsung Galaxy S2)

2- i waited several hours for the galaxy to let go the boot screen but it wont.!!

3- i pulled the battery then put the galaxy back to download mode and retried flushing the room but it was giving the same result.

4- unfortunately after doing the same several times the device got DEAD..

Now:

- I cant power on my galaxy

- When connecting it to PC nothing Happen (Odin does not show any device connected)

- Plugin in the charger, The galaxy got heated. :eek:

I am just thinking i have missed up the partition table, please mistake me if i am wrong. :confused:

Or any one can help in this.

Note:

- the same happened with my two devices.

- Since Galaxy s2 is not released in my country i bought them from outside the country with no warranty. :(

Any one can help.???

Thanking you in advance for the support.

Think you flushed it down the spout .

Can the phone go to download mode Have you a download recovery jig .

No phone power on at all either circuit boards blown or battery dead .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamshid:
thanks fro the reply.

The phone cant go to download mode.!!! no display at all when pressing the power button.

Either no display when charging the phone, it only get heated.!!!

I have heared about the download recovery jig.

My question shall i use the same Resistor (301K Ohm) for the galaxy s2???? i believe this is used for Galaxy s1.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Yes its the same .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaukassus:
yes the 301k resistor does work on the SGS2 aswell.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamshid:
Just fro your information i have just checked with one of my friends he is having the same issue.

He used the same resistor 310K on both SGS2 & SGS1, unfortunately it only worked with SGS1.

Any way i will try it on my device and come back soon.

thanks again

same jig for SGS2 .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeeL:
Damn, yeh i got the same problem, my galaxy s2 is dead. Won't power on and screen is completely blank. So i'm guessing a jig wont help it, unless proven otherwise.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormrain:
The same thing happened on first boot of my first SGS2. I pressed the Power Button, played for like 2 mins with TW and then the phone stuck and switched itself off.

Long story short, I couldn't get it to switch on again, so I sent it to service and the response was it had a faulty motherboard.

So I think you should return it. My 2 cents.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamshid:
Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately as i mentioned, i bought it without warranty. :(

Will wait for any other tips.

Can you guide me where to get the motherboard online.

thanks again.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamshid:
HI

I have just noticed whenever i connect my SGS2, my computer pop ups a notification searching for a driver but it disconnect in seconds and the pc cant continue searching for the driver.

The driver is OMAP4430.

This happens every 1 minute if the SGS2 is connected to the PC.

Note: i cant see any think on my SGS2 screen.!!!!

Thanks

What do you mean you bought it without warranty? Where did you buy it from? Most on-line stores should accept a warranty return o.O
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjjensen23:
Back of the truck special AKA five finger discount ;) lol

But yes from a site such as clove you be able to return for warranty
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamshid:
I bought it without warranty.!! :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanwray:
warranty is not really an issue, I belive under UCC and under normal statutory law in EU that the retialer is legally responsable for 2 years. If it's unfit for purpose in that time, you simply return it. If they refuse, you ask them to put their refusal on paper for the record. Often it turns out fine ;)

Hi Experts,

There was one difference in 2.2 and 2.3 that internet call will be available in android 2.3.3 but this FW for 5670, internet call is not included.

Can anybody tell me other solution or i am planning to switch to HTC wildfire just because of this. [:(] .

Thanks in andvance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tubes6al4v:
2.3 includes Voip over SIP accounts. If your ROM does not have that feature, you could install another ROM (cyanogen?) for your device.

Alternatively:

- GrooveIP uses Google Voice to do Voip in US and Canada

- Skype, Google Talk (hacked), and others allow voice and video calling within the service for free and charge for calling out.

I hope that helps. Keep in mind, call quality is dependent on your data/wifi signal and how much time you take tweaking the audio.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vishwanathptl:
Cyanogen Not yet available for s5670 yet. And No custom rom also...

So u better follow Tubes6al4v's Alternatives. That is the only option i think.

Thats true the best phone upgrade would be to go for galaxy S

Defy is not much of an upgrade

The next best option is nexus S , in India its price fell yesturday to INR 20K(S-LCD not AMOLED)

thats around 300 Euros

By 1 month both galaxy S and nexus S price might fall again
[Galaxy 3 General] rickslick:
Yes thats true Galaxy Ace is newer than Defy and in the same range and heard its gonna get gingerbread upgrade officially(personally I dont like officials)

[Galaxy 3 General] xxxTarkanxxx:
yes but i don´t like the ace becouse it has a bad software developement.

I must have cynogen becouse i use a bluetooth keyboard and the hid apps don´t work.The sgs would be cool becouse the gaming ist better than the galaxy 3 and the defy is waterproof and has a gorilla display....

and a htc desire?

If anyone is able to assist me, I would really appreciate it. Being so sick of Samsung's slow upgrade service, I thought I would follow what so many have done and root my phone and flash android 2.3.3 to my Samsung Galaxy S.

Everything was going fine until Odin's screen changed from yellow to RED with FAILED across it. My phone had a blue progress bar only half way across the download screen and all things stopped. I removed the battery and tried to reboot, but now have only a small picture of a phone and a computer showing a broken link. I love the Galaxy I9000, is there any hope for repair?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Chedburn:
If you can access download mode reflash it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] acesolid:
Just try again, ive had it before and just reflashed 2.3.3 stock and everything was fine.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Multiburatino:
help

i can help you. At odin chose "debug only" and then "PDA Format" and it will work 100%
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rosse912003:
Thank you "Thanks Meter"for responding... What version of Odin are you using and where do you get it?? I am using Odin 3 v1.82 and it doesn't have a "Debug Only"button or a "PDA Format"button. How do I select these things??

Also do you where there are any Australian based firmwares?? My Galaxy is a Vodafone based Australian phone and I would love to get a firmware that suited the phone, (if one exists that is).

Thank you again for trying to assist. You're a good bloke, not many try to assist.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rosse912003:
I just thought I would let you know that I tried my best to follow your instructions. I have never had Odin successfully complete a flash even once. However, I did run it with only the PDA selected and that was the most helpful.

The problem is now that the phone is locked into a startup phase. I get to the "S"elblem on startup and then the phone reboots and starts again, over and over again without ever completing the log on cycle.

Have you heard of this before?

This is driving me nuts...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rosse912003:
Thank you to all members who responded to my problem post. I have had no success but I really appreciate your efforts..

When I checked pda format, the odin always crashed.

[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Try turning off JavaScript; been happening to me, too, and that's all that's helped.
[Xoom General] bloke:
I'm suffering too, cleared cache, didn't help. Unrooted xoom.

Ill try turning that off.

Only problem is limits website use...... not good
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Are there specific sites that have been problematic?

Not having issues here.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
When it dies, it just "goes away", right? Not "Force Close"? If so it's the null-pointer exception I've been seeing. JS is causing it, don't know when or why.
[Xoom General] marctronixx:
'sup KC! :)

as i have mentioned on other sites, in cases like this its great to have a backup browser. also please post up the sites that are causing issue so others can test. ive not seen this. i have a stock xoom wifi latest updates.
[Xoom General] bloke:
Happens in backup browser too, I'm using dolphin HD as backup.

Happens on mini2.com, BBC sport. Tried turning off Java, but its needed in lots of sites.
[Xoom General] cswylie:
Sorry its not a force close it just closes. Have been having the biggest issue with forums like www.thedieselplace.com
[Xoom General] taylorjr:
Any specific sites that it does it on? I havent had this issue with my default browser, firefox, or dolphin
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Make sure plugins are set to on-demand. I've seen a lot of sites that crash the browser with a ton of flash ads loaded from js.
[Xoom General] SemperAndroid:
I have seen this problem as well on many sites including android.net. It just started out of nowhere on Friday evening. I made situations better by clearing the Dalvek cache, but still crashed my browsers (Stock Browser & Dolphin Mini). I even reinstalled my recovery, and the kernel jst for grins. This helped out a little.

I then saw a note about set CPU causing problems so I uninstalled it and installed no frills CPU. This made things even better.

Next, I cleared the caches again which helped more.

Last, I upgraded the kernel to 1.2.2 and this fixed it up very well.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Yeah, Thursday evening for me- I'd just loaded another kernel from upstream right around the same time and had thought that was it (despite nothing in that kernel being related) and even backed up to a known-good kernel and init scripts (which didn't make a difference).

It's a null-pointer in the WebCore browser SDK, which explains why the Dolphin browsers are affected as well (as they also use that SDK). Opera and FF aren't affected by this, but they both have their own particular issues so I'm preferring Dolphin HD instead.

I've cleared all caches and turned on JS again, and have stayed away from sites that I know will bring it up (www.thesuperficial.com in "Desktop" mode is one), but I don't like knowing that it's only a workaround.

What I'm more curious about is if there was an update (to an app; none of the system files seem to have been affected), or a web-page we've all visited that's dropped something into the caches that is tripping up the JS processor. I don't know enough about HTML personally to know where to look.
[Xoom General] 2ksilverbullet:
Subscribing. Have this exact issue using stock browser, Dolphin Hd, and Maxthon on the following sites:

Www.ford-trucks.com/forums (disabling java allows me to read the site for about 5-10 mins before closing. Posting closes browser immediately.

Www.thedieselstop.com/forums (same results as above)

My Xoom is bone stock FWIW...
[Xoom General] cc16177:
Having the same problem with both stock browser and dolphin. Really frusterating because the only fix I have is disabling JS but the only reason I bought the xoom was to do scheduling for work and I need JS for that. Hope someone ffigures this out before my return period is up or its bye bye xoom :-(
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
has anyone else found a remedy for the browser crash? its getting pretty darn annoying.
[Xoom General] z06mike:
Are you rooted and running a kernel? Do you have the latest version flash player of installed? Is it only crashing on forums?
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
Mike,

first of all let me say that z06s ROCK! =)

Anyways, I am running the Tiamat OMG Rom with the built in Kernel. I am running Flash 10.3.185.22 and it seems to be mostly crashing on forums.
[Xoom General] z06mike:
Yup, they do :D. I haven't had for a while though. I got rid of my last Vette about 8 months ago :(.

Is it only the browser that is crashing or does your Xoom reboot also?
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
Did you have the c6 or c5 z06? Time to upgrade to a zr1! /offtopic

My Xoom was rebooting before, but now doesn't do it as much and seem stable. The browser is what is crashing often.

My Xoom was rebooting before, but now doesn't do it as much and seem stable. The browser is what is crashing often.

To answer your question in my other thread (sorry for the double post), it even happens when I uninstall the Taimat OMG rom and reinstall bigrushdog's 3.1 rom.

according to kcrudup, its a JS issue, but it also happens when I set my JS to on demand.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
On the Moto forums it's happening to even stock users. The only thing that stops it is turning off JS. I even completely uninstalled Flash, didn't make a difference.

If you go to www.thesuperficial.com, then browse say some of the "bikini" pictures, that's a sure-fire way of making it happen.
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
Sigh, my favorite celeb gossip/softcore website doesnt even work. ahha

I wonder if moto will do an update...what would it take to fix this issue?
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
FWIW, it's also being discussed on the Motorola users forum as well.

I honestly don't think this is an issue for Moto or Google; I think we've either picked up an app update that's interfering with the WebKit core (doesn't "Lookout" try and do virus checking?) or some random website we've all visited has left something in our cache/history/****-if-I-know that's causing JS to take a null-pointer exception (which is why it just disappears, with no "Force Close" notification, as it's happening in native code, and not the Java/Dalvik code).
[Xoom General] madsquabbles:
i do think it's a google problem as it happens even with the transformer on 3.0.1 and 3.1. i've had it happen even before i had a chance to install apps.

i may be trying out a galaxy tab this weekend and i'm sure it'll have the same issue.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Huh. But here's the thing- I, and several others have stated that it just started happening like last Thrusday (6/9) afternoon.

I could browse all those sites before and everything was just fine before then.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
I'm sitting here with DDMS monitoring my Xoom while I attempt to duplicate the issue, hoping something pops up in the log.

Q: portrait, landscape, about:debug or no?

So far, no problems on thesuperficial.com

Also, big thing.. Do you guys have auto-fit pages on? If so, I've found that js makes assumptions about viewport and will crash with this on.

Edit: Can't seem to get my browser to disappear or crash, but I can get it to become unresponsive. All I see in the log is EGL ERROR when I try to tap things.

I'd be willing to bet money that this issue is why about:debug is still necessary to see non-mobile pages. Seems that js support in the browser still isn't up to js-heavy desktop sites.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Here's what kills it for me: in the Stock browser and/or Dolphin (both derived from WebKit), hit the "bikinis" page, then pick one of those and then "View Full Size", then nav thru the pictures. It'll get 2 or 3 in and then just up and disappear.

I do, on both. Will see if disabling that makes any difference here.

UA for Stock is unmodified, but on Dolphin I have it set to "Desktop". But why did it just start happening?
[Xoom General] 2ksilverbullet:
FWIW - I was browsing on the mobile version of ford-trucks.com/forums and had this occur (browser closing). The desktop version was closing the browser as well. My Xoom is bone stock, not rooted. I've had this occur on the stock browser, Dolphin HD, and Maxthon in landscape mode (haven't even tried portrait). I do have auto-fit on so I'll give that a shot as well.

I need to try clearing everything browser related, unselecting JS, close the browser and reboot the Xoom. Hopefully it helps as it's getting more and more annoying.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
I simply cannot get my browser to disappear.

Stock Xoom, browser, btw.

I can make it stop responding, I.e. hanging on page load, new tabs cone up blank, etc. There's definitely a leak when it's like this, too.

Why is the disappearing browser not happening, though?
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
... which is why I think our sudden rash of browser failures is app-related; you probably just don't have the offending app loaded.

I don't see how this could be that one app could crash the browser (unless it's listening for WebKit intents or something and killing the shared library- which still doesn't make any sense), but now I wonder.

Let me find a link that always does it for me and get back at you.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
I don't have any browsers but stock installed. Wonder if that's it?

Edit: nope, that's not it.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Yeah, I can reproduce it on DolphinHD and the stock browser via thesuperficial.com quite easily, just by going to any gallery, and selecting "View Full Size".

I turned off "Fit to Page", didn't matter. Only thing that does is turning off JS.

Zanshin- did you see the dump I'd posted on the Moto site? Null-pointer exception.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Didn't see the dump. Will look.

It's just... weird that it's not giving the force close dialog with the option to send the data to Google.

No apps should crash in a way that the default exception handling doesn't work.

Edit: Ouch, looks like the javascript JNI process is dying, which shouldn't take the browser with it unless Google was lazy about handling exceptions.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Yeah.

I don't think the dump gives enough information unless one has the offset mappings.

Not that my JNI-fu is anything but weaksauce yet.

Does an aosp bug report already exist for this? I'd throw that dump in there. Someone @Google is going to be able to make sense of it.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Ditto- I'm a BSP/device-driver/kernel guy, myself.

I'd have to recreate it for the stock browser (which fails in the same way), but that's easy enough to do.

However, did you see that the PID for the Dolphin browser was "10145", but Zygote (the "Master Control Program" of sorts) said the SIGSEGV was actually in PID "10696", the Web Console?

Also, when Dolphin did die, the SEGV qualifier code was "SEGV_MAPERR", which from all the docs I can find indicate the SEGV happens in malloc().
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
... and if Bionic's malloc() has structures that's shared across PIDs/TIDs, then the "some other app is screwing us up all of a sudden" theory could make sense.

I'd swear on a stack of bibles that this didn't happen before Thursday the 9th ...!
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
I'm not doubting you.

Also, I'm still scratching my beard over why it's not happening to me.
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
This is getting interesting! I hope someone could figure this out.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
You've tried my instructions, then? I can't get to even the 2nd enlarged image in that gallery on the first page in any WebKit browser. (Besides, that chick www.thesuperficial.com is showing on the cover of that PB ain't so bad to look at :D)
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
I just tried Firefox and its not crashing...so I guess this is a solution till someone can figure it out.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Yep. All it does is put the browser into an unresponsive state. No crash.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
What's logcat doing around then?

I wonder if you're spinning somewhere just eating memory 'till you eventually run out?
