[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
That's the one big thing that pisses me off about Samsung. Their warranty process.....it stinks!

I have both an S1 and S2 as well as an iPhone 4 (boring). I bought my galaxies off eBay which means no warranty as they weren't bought through authorised resellers.

With the iPhone, once the phone is activated warranty starts. I have returned phones to apple at least 7 times (for me and family/friends) and not once was even asked for proof of purchase. You can even take it to any store in the world.

They just go by the serial number to see if it still has warranty. 10 minutes later I walk out with a new (refusbished but looks and works like new) phone.

Not once have they even remotely busted my nuts. They just simply replace on the spot. And pretty much all phones were jailbroken but they never ask.

Come on Samsung, I adore your phones but warranty is **** as.
[Galaxy S II General] NightFreaker:
Can't be agree more. and therre is no other way to make them know of this issue. Just feel like they don't feel a crap of the user.

[Guide][CDMA][Stock rom] Thanks Goes For {boodafli}

1. download heimdall. get it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755265

2. download the stock verizon files. get them from here: Click On Me

you need all four files.

3. download the drivers for the samsung sch-i800. find those here: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/co...v1.3.350.0.exe

4. unzip heimdall. go into the drivers folder, and run zadig.exe. at the top, select 'list all devices'. go to the dropdown menu, and select Samsung Composite USB (i'm pretty sure that's what it was called.) click start, and let it run.

5. open the heimdall front end.

6. put system in system (if you're flashing to ec02, then put factory in system)

put cache into cache

put param into param

put the zimage into both the kernel and recovery slots.

7. turn your tab off, and plug it into the computer using USB. hold down the power and the volume down buttons until you see the little droid dude with a shovel.

8. click the start button on heimdall.

9. wait for the flash to complete (don't unplug your device, obviously, during the flashing.) once your phone reboots, it's okay to unplug it.

10. now, boot into the stock recovery, and wipe data and cache. reboot, and update to ec02.

11. enable usb debugging.

12. plug your phone back in to the computer.

13. now run superoneclick for root. get that here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

14. either play with it in stock, or go find oldmacnut's excellent Better Than Life Rom, and follow the instructions to flash that.

15. enjoy your tab!

You should add a link to Connexion2005's profile for hard brick service. He can jtag just about anything to recover from a bricked state. Really great service and I can vouch for it second hand. For the tab it costs 50 bucks and this includes return shipping back to you. If he fails to unbrick the device (which I haven't actually heard of him doing) you don't pay for the service (only the shipping and diagnostic.)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] k0sh:
i already tagged Spacemoose1 thread :) for the hard brick :) i can't post like this info because i'm not responsible about what is happen between the victim ( bricked tab) and the JTAG (man) ;)

glad that my 900 was here and not in another thread :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] btyork:
You take no responsibility anyways, it's just offering up advice. You aren't forcing anyone to send it anywhere... just offering a suggestion... Some of us have voided our warranty and this service would be better for us.

spacemoose actually posted about this guys service, it's legit.

Sent from my "better than an iPad" tab running Overcome Hermes.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] darksoul21:
Nothing is working

I have used

Heimdall

Odin 1.3/1.7/EA24 Sprint

Tried

VZW zimage

Zephyr

Stock DJ30 with and without modem

Khaz's OC for CDMA

And all fail. From what I see in Odin it fails right at zimage load.

On the device it has the blue bar and stays stuck.

Is there a solution to this?

I have heard of the JTAG fix, is this possible to build?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] k0sh:
if your tab is still working why do you wanna use JTAG ?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] darksoul21:
It just loads into emergency download mode.

Phone..Triangle..PC
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] k0sh:
this is the second download mode .. that means your tab SOFT bricked .. you need to find your stock rom to flash it and you all good
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] darksoul21:
I have a Sprint P100 Galaxy tab. Went and googled kept getting the same EA24 and DJ30 roms which say are stock and do not load.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] k0sh:
then go to the nearest samsung service and let it like this :) in second download mode

and tell them i try to update via kies , they will ask you to wait for 10mins :) and you'll get your tab back . and pls after you get it back , do not flash anything :) and let it the way it is :) better for u
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] darksoul21:
Thanks but dont count me out...

This is not my first Rodeo, I had the rotten luck of loading CWM and then Zephyr and corrupting the device. I would still like to try the JTAG and perform the fix. Thanks for your time and assistance.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] PFS*:
Right, so long story short. Tried to update my Tab. Got stuck while downloading GB-safe-stock v3 from Overcome.

Now after leaving it on charge over night. Nil doesn't do anything, not even light up a little. Guessing Hard Bricked?

Prob is I live in South Africa and I think my nearest Samsung agent is 300km.

Any suggestions?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
*THIS MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE*

Ok this is for orange users using

May work for France SBF, possibly other Phones. test if you like, normally full sbf flash is enough to bring bricked phone back to life.

I have now deblurred the rom, (not for download yet)

Features:

De-odex

2ndinit implemented and working by default

Recovery installed and working (press recovery mode) in app

Rooted

Orange wednesday removed

Orange sim Removed

Orange maps removed

Titianium Backup included

Fault: mobile data dont work :s

I am only posting this really for reference so ppl can look through and figure out how to implement 2ndinit, recovery, root by default.

Showing a bit of ambition :D Dont expect many to use this so please dont slate me lol :D

Thanks to DJ_STEVE for some great advice

Thanks to EDGAN for his 2nd-init

Thanks to GINGERBREAK for making it possible to root.

Nice to see the first Atrix rom using 2nd init.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jiggytom:
Dont think the rom is using 2nd init. Just comes with it installed
[Atrix 4G Android Development] racca:
You can't install 2nd-init without using it. Sure 2nd-init doesn't do much currently but it is being used once installed.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] franciscojavierleon:
well it says "2nd-init implemented", so this means this is the first custom rom?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lucasmine:
Damm, can't wait for real custom roms... Cyanogem maybe!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:
2ndinit is active straight from flash. When phone boot type command ls -al /sys/kernel/debug from terminal you will get good output :)

This rom is only for a possible rom base and devs could possibly build more on it.

[LG Optimus 2x] |ErosizeD|:
After watch some youtube videos, about OPTIMUS 2X, i'm a little depressed...

Optimus 2X is optimized for flash right? so, webrowsing is the best thing on this phone but...

->why can't play fluently 1080P youtube, when Galaxy SII can?

->Why load slow than galaxy S?

And, why optimus 2X can't record videos with higher bitrate? ( galaxy S II is at 30mb/s when optimus 2x stills at 20mb/s ) transfers speed?

Thanks for all and forgive my english.
[LG Optimus 2x] afsender:
Because the Galaxy S-II is a stronger phone in several keyareas.

That being said, there is lots of room in the software part of the phone for improvement from lg's more or less laggy and buggy design. I hope for a better phone later this year with the update.

However, I'm on cm7 (cyanogenmod) now, and it's a much better device now, even though it's a nightly. So, the phone have the potential to be great m.
[LG Optimus 2x] |ErosizeD|:
You can play flash in 1080P fluently now? or maybe with the update to gingerbread?

Thanks for the reply
[LG Optimus 2x] sezerx:
Just tried playin some 1080p flash trailer and its fluent on webview and fullscreen,its just the stock rom that sucks. With a custom one this thing finaly deserve its name OMG SO FAST
[LG Optimus 2x] sofunnyxdd:
still cant play 1080p flash youtube in browser fluently in cm7:(
[LG Optimus 2x] sezerx:
Yeah im on fr17
[LG Optimus 2x] |ErosizeD|:
So, the Optimus 2X is better than SGSII in Flash finally?

i whant the phone for gaming, music, web browsing and youtube, basically.

Thanks for all the answers
[LG Optimus 2x] afsender:
Once again, the Galaxy S-II is in fact a faster phone, so that's worth looking into the. The Tegra2 might be better at doing multimedia content such as video and flash, but I doubt it. My knowledge is quite limited.

One thing's for sure - while both phones, the Optimus 2x and S-II, support flash content, it's not the same as they are good at it. Flash is some heavy lifting, and definetly not a technology well suited for phones at the current level of development.

Watching 1080p video content on CM7 on Optimus 2x is still laggy, but I'm guessing that will be fixed in the final release.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
one thing i will NEVER understand is why the hell do people insist on watching 1080p videos on THEIR PHONE...

i do believe you guys understand that 1080p is 1920x1080 pixels, wheras your phone screen is 480x800, so why the hell you want those full hd vids on such a small screen ? (not concerning those who do this through hdmi) enlighten me

[Optimus One, P500, V General] DigitalAnalog:
Hi,

Is the stock recovery included in my original nandroid backup of my stock ROM?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
Not unless you have checked recovery when doing the backup (i.e., not by default.)

Whatever, you can download it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065197
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DigitalAnalog:
Thanks! Is it just one recovery for all variants of the stock ROM?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
Yeah, works with any stock ROM version.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DigitalAnalog:
Ok, so the process to going back 100% stock is:

1. Reflash my backup stock ROM

2. Reflash the stock recovery ROM

3. Unroot

4. Factory reset

Is this correct?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
I would say so yes, but add any system apps if you deleted some of them before unrooting.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DigitalAnalog:
Wouldn't the factory reset restore the system apps?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
I don't think so. IMO factory reset just deletes user apps and resets the settings to default. I may be wrong though, since I've never tried it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
What is actually the whole purpose of this effort? Are you going to RMA the phone? In that case, just flash it via KDZ, greet it with 3-finger salute when done and take it to the service center/shop. :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DigitalAnalog:
I've just not too fond of KDZ as I've heard some horror stories about it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
Well if you are going to return the phone to shop then it does not really matter. :confused:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DigitalAnalog:
It would matter if they decline to honor the warranty if they see traces of rooting/custom ROMs.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
I do not really get how they are supposed to see traces of rooting on completely bricked phone. Move on.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DigitalAnalog:
It doesn't have to be completely bricked. I can foresee many types of hardware issues such as failing buttons, failing touchscreens that would require an RMA.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
Yeah ok, whatever. Topic exhausted

I think that I'm down to a manual transfer.... I don't know.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Schroder08:
Might be a dumb question to answer your dumb question ;) but is your phone rooted? If you were able to install it to the phone, would using titanium backup work to copy the program off so you can restore it on the TF?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dt34:
I just downloaded from the amazon app on my android phone, went on to the TF amazon app. Located my app via menu and the app should be rdy to download. No compatibility notice. Likewise, you can download from your PC, it'll say not compatible. Just go back into the TF amazon app and repeat.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nxt:
I'm guessing you're talking about Peggle?

Buy it from amazon's website/phone.

Then open the Amazon app on your Transformer

press menu

select My apps

then in the list of apps, click install. It'll install and play fine even though it's not really supported (the tablet).

I have two evos. The first one has screen issues and a bad speaker. So I used my insurance to get a new one. All has been well until last night. I got home from work and before going to bed, I tried to plug in my phone. It wont charge. Tried two different chargers, two different usb cables, tried plugging into my laptop. All a no go. So I thought, why not just plug the old evo in and charge its battery, then I can just swap it out in the morning. Well guess what, it wont charge either. Has anyone ran into charging issues?? Is there some kinda trick I can do to try and fix this?? Thanks again.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rb210:
I9003XXKP7 Android 2.3.4

This thread has run into several pages so I've compiled an FAQ about what we've gathered about this firmware update so far.

1. How stable is this firmware?

A. SamFirmware has confirmed that it is still a beta developmental release and there are some bugs that need to be fixed before we get an official release. You are advised not to flash it unless you know what you are doing.

2. What do I need to do before installing this firmware?

A. You must take a full backup of your phone applications and data. You can use Titanium Backup or MyBackup to do this.

3. Where can I download this firmware?

A. You can download this firmware from one of the following links: Hotfile, MediaFire, Megaupload, Rapidshare. Password: samfirmware.com

4. How do I flash this firmware?

A. You can follow this guide by Misledz or this guide by spacebar2011. It would be best to read both first.

5. Can I root this firmware?

A. Yes, you can root this firmware with SuperOneClick using this guide. You may receive a kernel panic message at the end of the rooting process. In this case, just remove the battery, reinsert and reboot the phone.

6. How do I fix the camera black screen and power button issue?

A. You will need to flash this firmware with the bootloader twice to fix this issue.

7. How do I fix the Sleep of Death (SOD) issue?

A. It has been reported that the phone gets into sleep mode and does not respond on wake up. We are still looking for a permanent solution for this problem.

8. How can I enable SIP in this firmware?

A. Follow this guide to enable SIP.

9. Can I use KIES with this new firmware?

A. KIES doesn't seem to work with this new firmware at the moment.

10. Is it possible to downgrade to Froyo?

A. Yes, you can flash back to Froyo using one of the firmwares in this thread. XXKB3 is generally recommended.

11. Do I need the bootloader while downgrading to Froyo?

A. No, you can flash normally following this guide.

12. How do I fix the camera after downgrading to Froyo?

A. You will need to flash your firmware for Froyo twice in order to get the camera working again.

Post your feedback after testing XXKP7 in this thread.
