[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] O4web:
When I do what I proposed, I actually do get the CRT-animation in de cook. However... it shows many artifacts when the animation plays. I am missing something probably...? It wants to use a screenshot I think, but instead it uses an image that is white with colorful dots and artifacts.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

EDIT:

Found out I had to download Chainfire 3D and install the driver in there.

EDIT2:

No luck.. Doesn't matter how I try: first apply zip, then install driver, or other way around. Always artifacts..

hey guys how can i move the clock of the tw lockscreen from the bottom to the middle ???

my regards
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] tadeas482:
Hmm..interesting, I´d like to know to know that, too.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] jazux:
That would be the framework.jar files, i think ;)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] tadeas482:
Yes, I thought it, too. But I dont know how to do it..I am not good at java programming. Is there anybody who is interested and wants to do it?
[General Topics] JesseJames:
Last week my wife broke her Evo. I decided to go on craigslist (I've bought a few phones this way w/ no issues) and get her a decent used phone to get by until we can upgrade. Found an Epic for a good price, got it home, called sprint to activate and they're telling me its active on another account with a high outstanding balance. There's nothing they can do. The d-bag I got it from won't answer my texts. What else can I do with this phone? Thanks
[General Topics] DavidinCT:
Maybe it's me but, I always ask for the ESN to check status before buying a used phone. I once took a used phone and called Verizon to check it while standing there with the person I was buying it off of (he was not looking happy after about 5 min on hold).

You've got a phone that has a "bad ESN" your pretty much done unless the user who had it clears it up. Unless you want to use it as a Wi-FI browsing device or something, there is not much you can do, sorry.

File a police report maybe ? They did sell you a device that that claimed working that was not (they wont do much but, it will be on file). Also, if you text him, try to call him from a different number than the one you texted him from (he might pick up thinking it was someone else).

Good luck, sorry about the news, Lesson learned, always check ESNs before buying a used phone.
[General Topics] JesseJames:
If I ever buy one again I'll definatly ask for the ESN up front I've learned my lesson. I was wondering if I were to unlock it could it be used on another carrier? Like boost mobile or something? Then maybe I could sell it straight up without screwing someone else. I even thought about listing it on ebay with a big bold disclaimer saying it cannot be used with sprint. I gave $200 for it and it's in perfect condition
[General Topics] Dratini:
You can definitely put it on Pageplus, Cricket or Metro. Not sure about VM or Boost since they are also on Sprint's network.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrowter:
So I got my SGSII today, and rooted it (using CF-Root), and installed VillainRom 1.1. Since doing all this, my SD card won't work. It can be read perfectly by my computer. I formatted it to FAT32 in Windows, yet still the phone doesn't recognise it.

Under "SD Card" in the options, I get "Total Space: Unavailable" "Available Space: Unavailable". Also, the "Mount SD Card" and "Format SD Card" options are greyed out. I tried booting to CWM Recovery, but there wasn't an option to format the external SD.

When the phone starts up, it shows "Media scanner running..." then immediately afterwards "Media scanning completed", as if it's not scanning anything.

I've tried searching, and manually looking through threads as well, but I can't seem to find anything useful at all.

So my question is: How can I fix either my phone or my SD card in order for the phone to accept the SD card? Many thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleeco:
Hi, try this, turn off take out battery and sd card give it five mins then put them back in a d restart, it might do the trick?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsj_87:
I did have this problem as well but I solved it. here is the trick

i put the sd card to my old phone and reformat it, then plug in to the computer reformat it. (Make sure you don't cant the setting in it except the Name). then plug in to the samsung galaxy s2 and it works. hope this helps
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrowter:
Just gave this a try now, no luck I'm afraid :(

My only old phone is an HTC Hero; would that work do you think? I've tried reformatting from my computer to no avail.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrowter:
Just to add some more info. I tried re-flashing the CF-Root through ODIN, and also the VillainRom 1.1 through ODIN. Neither has fixed my SD Card Problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrowter:
Okay, I managed to fix the problem. It turned out that it was, as said above, the formatting of the SD card. I had tried multiple programs but eventually found the sdcard.org official formatter, which did the trick.

Thanks everyone :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jradev:
I have same problem, formatted with official formatter from sdcard.org - no positive result.

Can you please tell what options you selected of formatter?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Format under windows as FAT32 .

Read the top line of this post ... now wait patiently
[Galaxy 3 General] shreyasharusia:
If your phone doesn’t boot into download mode and you have a black screen after flashing froyo heres how you unbrick it, it worked for me.

Step 1 – Prepare odin with the firmware u want to flash (in my case was I5800XXJPM) and get it ready to go;

Step 2 – Remove battery, SIM and SD card, next connect your galaxy 3 to the computer;

Step 3 – Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time;

Step 4 – Insert the battery and wait a bit;

Step 5 – At this point Odin should have detected your SG3 ( Yellow rectangle should appear in your );

Step 6 – Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.

If all goes well it should come back to life.

If You Find It Useful Click Thanks.
[Galaxy 3 General] Darius_AWS:
When you said Brick, it's Hardbrick or SoftBrick ?
[Galaxy 3 General] kyrillos13:
"If your phone doesn’t boot into download mode and you have a black screen after flashing froyo" => hard brick...
[Galaxy 3 General] Darius_AWS:
Lestat should try it :D
[Galaxy 3 General] aarrun:
dude u shud have made this thread 3 months ago it wud have been very helpfull for me coz it wud save my 2hardbricks......hard luck though for me i got my motherboard chnged both times and the 2nd time they gave me i5800 motherboard but my model is i5801...l...so bloody hell samsung service centres......and i think they have given me a 2nd hand motherboard this time..,.....
[Galaxy 3 General] shreyasharusia:
Now no need to worry about hard brick. Do What you want to do with Your Samsung devices.

The above tutorial work with every device which support odin firmware flashing.
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
That's a relaxing thought!
[Galaxy 3 General] Urmas1:
You can skip step 3 - after reboot phone WILL go thrue download phase - this is how the bootloader is built. Just connect your phone, switch it on and after you PC Odin detected it push START - that`s it!!!
[Galaxy 3 General] vijacdblz:
they always replace with used motherboards....

had to wait one month for them to do that
[Galaxy 3 General] alcsilian:
dude you saved my ass. :D Thank you so much.
[Galaxy 3 General] brajesh.sharma87:
did u really hard bricked and saved by this method?
[Galaxy 3 General] Sushil79:
Does its really working? :confused:
[Galaxy 3 General] artiwal:
Unfortunately it is not working for me... After yesterday's attempting to upgrade to froyo I have a brick... Holding power down, trying enter the download menu, connecting USB cable - nothing happening - black screen. I have tried both methods described above and nothing happened :(
[Galaxy 3 General] jinxskore:
Hmmmm.... Im sorry if im asking something wihtout trying...

But is it really possible to boot the phone into Download Mode/Recovery/whatever WITHOUT the battery???
[Galaxy 3 General] shreyasharusia:
Who said without the battery. Connect the mobile to computer without battery,press and held both the volume rocker and then insert the battery . You will get the downloading mode and odin will detect your phone and then flash.
[Galaxy 3 General] jinxskore:
Im sorry. I dont mean to prove you or anyone wrong. Maybe i just got things wrong...

Step 2 says to remove battery.

Step 3 basically means trying to start the phone into Download Mode.

Step 4 Well, if its only me, i cant imagine Holding Volume Down+Home+Power buttons and manage to insert the battery at the same time.:eek:

NOTE: I just asked if something was possible. Not particularly in accordance to your Tut. I just asked a general question. Sorry again if i offended anyone.:(

EDIT: The main reason was my curiosity, if the phone could work on power from the USB. LoL
[Galaxy 3 General] pflorin:
i think it powers the phone without the battery through the USB cable from PC. never tried it though but i think it works since the battery charges while plugged in usb cable (this means it has juice). :)
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
I think its starting download mode when you put in the battery :S

If you are really that curious as to whether it will enter download mode just on usb power you dont have to wait for your phone to get hard bricked, just try it.
[Galaxy 3 General] rahulgaba16:
same here bro. i too changed my motherboard from samsung service center :mad:

and i dont this one is same as the previous one :(
[Galaxy 3 General] Beorn1:
unfortunately that doesn't work for me... stupidly enough, I tried to change something in the firmware file (just the logo.png file), and then it got stuck during flashing in Odin. So even more stupidly, I disconnected the phone, and when it didn't turn off I just took out the battery, and since then it behaves as a total brick, and doesn't even show any sign of life when I try to turn it on, or when I try the above mentioned methods (Odin doesn't detect anything).

Any other ideas, or things that I may have done wrong trying to revive it? and do you think that the JIG method could work?

thanks
[Galaxy 3 General] (•.•):
bang reminder! This works great!

NOTE:

WHILE PRESSING THE 3 BUTTON, INSERT YOU BATTERY !!! Then it will work!

I deleted everything with cwm before flashing a new rom, but when i wanted to wipe the dalvic cache, it startet the process of wiping and then a sudden force shutdown and after that, it was bricked and wouldn't go into download mode.

But now it works again :D

And I have now the most clean install possible btw ;)

edit: **** now I can't flash stuff because it hangs on Setup Connection, when trying to flash with odin.. oh noes o0

more Information:

from here

****, now I need to buy a fkn jig -.-

And I'm not sure if it will work then anyway..

edit3:

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any Help ? Before sending it to samsung service center or something like that..
[Galaxy 3 General] umangsagar:
Thank you for your post, its worth it even if it is able to recover one phone from slumber....though i pray i dont have to use it :D
[Galaxy 3 General] dh33r4j:
This mite be of great help as I play a lot with my SG3.
[Galaxy 3 General] zimbara:
Are there really so many bricked phones? Did you guys flash with or without bootloaders? I still have eclair and wanted to flash froyo in a few days, but now i dont know should I, im scared :(
[Galaxy 3 General] Blackyx007:
You don't have to be scared :P

flashing a rom is extremely simple ;)

i have to admit that i was scared to the first time i flashed a new ROM but now i know its the best thing that happened to my SG3 :D
[Galaxy 3 General] (•.•):
Ok, whatever you will play around there is just a small risk to get your phone bricked.

Just don't play around to much with the Advanced Menu in ClockworkRecoveryMod, especially dalvic cache can **** you up, if you wipe it, because there are many things saved, its like the registry of your android system.

But you can also remove as example your google account in dalvic cache.
[Galaxy 3 General] (•.•):
UNBRICKED!

OMG!

Haha, I got it unbricked again!

This works, but I just made a stupid mistake.. instead of using ODIN Multidownloader with with .ops file for I5800, I used ODIN 1.85 the whole time without the file and it stuck on SetupConnection.. and I though it ****ed up!

It seems that the samsung smartphones are pretty robust and won't fullbrick that fast, the opposite is true, you can unbrick it allmost any time!

So for that to find out I buyd a new I5800 today, but now I will bring it back and use my "old" one again :p !

I attached the Odin Multidownloader with the .ops file for everyone to not make this mistake. ;)

Happyness again! :D :D

[Galaxy 3 General] dhirend_6d:
Bro. You don t have to cry. :):) Goto Samsung service centre and say them you could not start after you updated through KIES.
[Galaxy 3 General] diskoteer:
Thank you for this nice tutorial!
[Galaxy 3 General] axlina:
when i pressed start it kept going on and on and on...so i unplugged it....and since than i can't do anything...when i power it there's a picture of computer, triangle with this sign inside ! and a mobile phone...

how can i fix this?
[Galaxy 3 General] jagerz:
This is a very good way to unbrick your phone if you do not change the bootloader. If the bootloader is screwed, I don't think there is much things you can do, except send it to Samsung to replace the motherboard.

Axlina, try to do exactly as described before. Remove the battery, connect USB to your computer, push the 3 buttons, hold them, and ask somebody to insert the battery WHILE YOU ARE HOLDING THE keys. Keep them holding for a while. Then your phone should enter download mode and you will be see it in Odin...

GOOD LUCK, I keep my fingers crossed :)

[Galaxy 3 General] jagerz:
What output have you got from Odin while flashing?
[Galaxy 3 General] axlina:
i'm sorry..i don't understand what you meant....

didn't got anything....it started to update and it kept saying updating...for a long time...and i disconnected the phone

[Galaxy 3 General] jagerz:
Your phone is Galaxy mini S or Galaxy 3?

The link you posted refers to Galaxy mini S 5570!!

I hope you haven't flashed ROM from Gmini to G3...
[Galaxy 3 General] axlina:
it's galaxy mini...

i followed the steps in previous link...
[Galaxy 3 General] jagerz:
Well, this topic is for G3, i never had mini in my hands. Sorry, no help from me :(

Look around and ask for help in the Galaxy Mini section, somebody will be for sure able to help you.
[Galaxy 3 General] Smonic:
Does this actually work if you have unsucessfully flashed the bootloader?
[Galaxy 3 General] Urmas1:
Only way to know for sure is to try:cool:

It worked for me when I had soft brick and my volume buttons were not working.

Just unplug battery, connect to PC, setup all in Odin and plug battery in.

When you see in Odin connection detection (yellow window) immediately press START and you saved. No need at all to press all these buttons during inserting battery (you really have to have tree hands), bootloader is entering to download mode anyway even if you can`t see it on phone screen, only on Odin.
[Galaxy 3 General] Smonic:
I have soft bricked many times :p I just flash another ROM and all is good.

I thought this solved hard bricks and my phone is not bricked so i can't try. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy 3 General] jaspring:
Lestat should try it
[Galaxy 3 General] ABD3Fs:
Ok guys...just a question:

When you used this trick the battery could be charged? I brick my phone flashing a new firmware JPU from JP4 and now I couldn,t reboot it anyway...no download mode, no recovery mode and no power on...

The adb devices don´t detect my phone.

Probably the only solution is to change the motherboard...so I´ll said to the SAT that my phone don´t want to wake up after a kies update.

Hope them belive me;)
[Galaxy 3 General] vbayarri:
Full Full Brick...

Thanks for your sharing your knowledge.

Unfortunately, this method does not starts my G3. The screen continues black without any activity sign.

Anyone knows if a Samsung jig (301k) is working on this device or my only hope is the JTAG way?

Thanks in advance,

Víctor

[Galaxy 3 General] xda Santhosh:
So .... You are Going to put the Phone in Download Mod .............. And flash a custom ROM through Odin >>>>>>>>>

What is meant By Unbricking ................ ??????

I cant Understand .............. It means to flash Custom ROM ??????????

I've heard Bricked When I've read
[Galaxy 3 General] Blackyx007:
There are two kinds of bricking

Hard brick your phone is useless and only very techy or experienced users can fix it or you have to go to a center

Soft brick your phone has a boot loop or after software malfunction and can't boot up you can fix this by flashing a new rom with Odin
