[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Green Andy:
Hey Guys & Gals,

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I have hard bricked my Epic 4G. I was flashing the SPH-D700-EC05-8gb-REL.tar via Odin v 1.61. The flashing process froze on "datafs" portion of the flashing process.

The phone's screen went black after awhile, so I decided to pull the stock USB cable from the phone like a smart person. I then pulled the battery and put it back in the phone. When I tried to re-enter download mode I was unsuccessful.

The phone is now unresponsive. No red light when "charging" the phone. The phone will not go into download by holding the "1" on the keyboard while pressing the power button. No response from the phone at all. I have tried different batteries and USB cables with no avail.

I tried removing the battery, pressing the power button to discharge capacitors, etc then placing the USB cable in and trying to enter download mode and every incarnation of that process.

I even tried MysteryEmotions "Reset Button" trick.....which by the way, there is no button underneath the plastic as I even dismantled my phone to check.

I am looking for help in JTAGing my phone. I have experience with doing so on other devices.

First, is it possible to build you're own JTAG to low level flash the mainboard. I do not want to buy a RIFF Box. I have a JTAG I made that is a 20 Pin Serial to 5 pin JTAG with resistors soldered on for another project in the past.

Second, if I can use a homemade JTAG, is there software that can help or can I use the ressurector software from Riff Box?

Third, It looks like the JTAG pins are under the Camera Flex Ribbon, is this correct? Does anyone know the pinout for JTAg purposes?

I don't have the TEP insurance through Sprint. The phone was purchased 8 months ago but I do not have the receipt anymore.

I have considered going back to Sprint and getting a new one for $35 or sending it to Samsung to JTAG it.

How much does Samsung charge for JTAg...it sounded like $35 under the 1 yr warranty.

I have searched these forums extensively with no clear cut answers. Any help with these questions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks Again,

Green Andy

Pull out SD card and battery, put battery back but leave SD card out, boot into download mode (1 key + power button).
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Green Andy:
I appreciate your response ghostrid3r. Unfortunately, I had tried this tactic as well to no avail.

I am a man that never posts because I believe the answer is already out there and just need to google the Sh@t out of it until you find it, but this problem has me stumped. I tried your method for giggles again but it did not work. Thank you though it is appreciated.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostrid3r:
I assume you tried to leave the battery out for about 10-30mins, then retried to get into download mode?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Green Andy:
Yes I did sir. I even left it out over night, pressed all the buttons to discharge any remaining power in the capcitors and used my wife's fully charged battery etc without success. Thanks again for the input however.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Sounds like time for a trip to the Sprint store. It is still under warranty so they will replace it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Green Andy:
I'm starting to think that myself. Now since I do not have the "Equipment Protection" insurance plan but am still under manufacturer warranty, a sprint store would handle giving me a new phone and the would send my old phone back to Samsung? I thought I would have to send the phone back to Samsung. Is my thinking correct on this?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Most stores will order you a replacement. Tell them it was on the charger and when you took it off it would not come on.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Green Andy:
Ok folks problem solved.

Went to the Sprint store and they were unabe to repair it. Since I do not have the TEP insurance, they charge $35 for a refurbished phone. I asked the sales rep what would I had done if my phone was out of the 1 yr manufacturer's warranty. He stated they would have replaced my phone with a refurb anyway for the $35.

So it's $35 for exchange. I did not have to send it back to Samsung on my own.

I also considered sending my phone to mobiletechvideos.com for $50. I learned about this business from the forums here....I would imagine this business is legit.

A riff box costs $150, which is a JTAG box for cell phones.

Moral of the story, is ODIN freezes.....DO NOT PULL YOUR USB CORD OUT OF THE PHONE! First see if it will eventually complete. If it does not, check the forums to see what to do but do not disconnect the USB cord.

Thanks again to ghostrid3r & kennyglass123 for your advice and help.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
Hey there glad to see you found me before making your final decision. I definitely can JTAG the Epic back to life and repair it and would have loved to but hey glad you are back to going. To answer a few of your questions, nobody has developed a DIY JTAG solution, you can't use anything but a Riff Box with the Riff Software and the pinouts are available with the Riff software. Still though, the pins are around .2mm in size and require some decent skill to connect to but you may be familar with that size factor.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Green Andy:
Thanks for the info regarding DIY JTAG's connexion2005. I've done the .2 mm size soldering contacts before with a very fine tipped 15 watt soldering iron, a steady hand and patience. It's a fun hobby and a good skill to learn especially since most components are surface mounted these days. You are in my Rolodex for future reference and services though.....thanks again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbadboy2007:
For future reference re download all of your odin files pit, tar & rom. Also make sure your usb cable is good. Those are the only 2 things that make odin freeze. Odin itself usually doesn't freeze.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Green Andy:
This seems to hold very true. I followed your advice and reflashed my wife's GB leak back to Stock EC05 and Odin behaved itself. The stock USB cables suck. Thanks Again!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 30000:
Ok everyone, so I've beaten the living hell out of my Vibrant, but now I'm trying to:

-do the FFC Mod (not that bad, still waiting for the FFC to come in)

-replace the internal SD card with a 32GB one and reinstall the OS from ODIN (assuming ODIN recognizes it).

-get a Galaxy S 4G antenna and install that in place of the vibrant antenna (this is the crazy part)

Is this at all possible? If so, EXCELLENT!!! If not, ok, but it was a cool idea.

My point here is to say that if this is possible, can it be done on the HTC Sensation 4G (the part about replacing the internal SD card)? I know it's a long shot, especially with it being a different company who has a vendetta against rooting, but it's still worth hoping for, right? Anyway, feel free to flame or post ideas (preferably ideas).

good look man, let us kno how that goes, make sure to take pics i wana see!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FReQ Z:
The modulation scheme between 3G and 4G is different. The frequencies are the same, so changing the antenna isn't gonna help. The transceiver chip would have to also be swapped.

Also, I would bet that the internal SD is on a chip... Not a removable card. And I would also bet the bootloader would have to be modified in order to see the 32 gig addition.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamikzone:
1. sounds like a great idea

2. noone has tried it before :p maybe google some stuff about the internal sd on the t-959

3.needless unless u put a stronger antenna :D

I'm quite a beginner in flashing a galaxy s.

I'm now on Darky's v10.0 RC6, Kernel: Dark Core 2.2, Baseband version I9000JVK (2.3.3)

Now I want to flash F1 Galaxy S2 V6, can I flash this ROM directly over Darky's V10.0 RC6?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superindian:
yes you can.. but flash the wipe version..

make sure you disable the lagfix and backup all your apps and data.. :)

[Galaxy 3 General] Mohit12:
I'm about to just flash my phone for the first time. can someone please help me with the following?

i have an i5801 and i want to keep it that way after flashing. so i just need to delete boot.bin and sbl.bin right?

does deleting these two files also ensure that i don't hard brick my phone?

can someone give me a link to download indroid 4.3? (that is the best version of indroid, right?)

what is the ops file? where can i download that from?

and what is this "package" that i need to download?

and last, how do i clear the cache?

btw, these are questions for the steps given in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=873645
[Galaxy 3 General] vishnu:
Firstly flash Indroid 4.1 :

Link To Indroid 4.1 [Part 1]

Link To Indroid 4.1 [Part 2]

Once the download is complete, extract using WinRAR/7Zip. The 'package' is the .tar file you find inside. Flash it as 'One-Package' using Odin.

Here is the link to the OPS File :

OPS File

How to Wipe Cache :

After flashing 4.1, reboot into Recovery by pressing and holding Volume Up + Volume Down + Menu Button + Power Key. The phone will boot into CWM. Scroll down (using the volume keys) and select (using the menu key) the option that says : "Wipe Cache". Ignore error messages (if any). Click on Reboot System.

From what I see, Indroid 4.3 is an update.zip file. Which means, you need to have CWM already installed. After installing 4.1, download 4.3.

Download Link for Indroid 4.3

Now follow these instructions :

You should have Indroid 4.3 up and running in your device now :)

I know it sounds tedious. But believe me, it isn't that hard ;)
[Galaxy 3 General] Mohit12:
DUDE! THANKS A GAZILLION!

REALLY appreciate it. *pushes thanks button*
[Galaxy 3 General] Mohit12:
oh ya, about the boot.bin and sbl.bin

do i delete them to retain my i5801 boot screen? or to make sure my phone doesn't get hard bricked? or both?

so if i delete them, there is NO WAY how i can ruin my phone?

sorry for being so cautious but it's my first time flashing, and i kind of lost my bill. so my phone is out of warranty. and if it does get hard bricked, that'll be bloody expensive.

thanks for the earlier post though.
[Galaxy 3 General] dhirend_6d:
Yes. If you delete boot.bin and sbl.bin, you will retain your I5801 bootscreen and you ll not get your phone hardbricked. You can manually delete them or stock firmwares without boot.bin and sbl.bin are available here in XDA. Check the development section. :)
[Galaxy 3 General] Mohit12:
k, thanks. last question : according to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=873645

in step 4, it says :

"4) Check protect ops checkbox (Don’t check this if you are flashing I5801 with I5800 firmware for the first time.)"

i'm using an i5801, and i want to flash InDroid. but is InDroid i5800 or i5801 firmware? so should i check the box or no?

answer this and i'll be able to FINALLY flash my phone.

like i said, sorry to be so cautious over even petty details but if something goes wrong, i'm screwed because i lost my bill so i'm pretty much out of warranty (also, because i rooted my phone, so the bill doesn't matter).
[Galaxy 3 General] vishnu:
Yes, check this box :)
[Galaxy 3 General] Raunak44:
It is possible to flash indroid ddjp4 rom...!?
[Galaxy 3 General] vishnu:
Its based on the updated firmware for India (DDJP4). Swype and Camera bugs fixed.

And yes, you can definitely flash it! :)
[Galaxy 3 General] Mohit12:
Okay, dude. sorry to bring up this post again but i had (yet another) internet-not-working-days. Anyway, i downloaded the two Indroid 4.1 parts and they're 001 and 002 files. WinRAR says it might be broken or damaged, or it doesn't recognise it. Also, I can't seem to download the 4.3 update. Is there any other site where it is hosted?

And I currently use DDJP2, but everywhere on the forum people use JPM or now DDJP4. I can flash Indroid, or any custom ROM no matter what stock firmware i'm using right? Or does that also matter?
[Galaxy 3 General] vishnu:
No problemo.

Download HJSplit and use it to join the split archives (InDroid 4.1 CWM Clean.7z.001 and InDroid 4.1 CWM Clean.7z.002).

Or, try this Torrent Link. Might be slow, but its bound to work! :)

And yes, you can flash whichever ROM you wan't. Hell, I didn't even know which firmware I was on the first time I flashed a Custom ROM! :p

Incase you just can't download the InDroid package, move on to Kyrillos' ROM. Its equally good.

Good luck :)

Hi guys, just upgraded from a Galaxy S to a Galaxy S2. I backed up my favourites from my Galaxy S, and restored them to my S2 using MyBackup. However doing this seems to have corrupted the Favourites on my S2.

Is there a way to clear it (without doing a factory reset on the phone!).

whoa...am i reading this correct??? MIUI with a Sense 3.0 lockscreen?? Isn't that sort of revolutionary? Any chance of getting this ported to the CM7 builds since MIUI is based on the CM source?

I loved MIUI for the few months I used it, but I got so tired of having no app drawer. I just never took the time to get the homescreen how i wanted it with folders and such, and went back to a sense rom. This gives me a newfound reason to get back.

Without weather, it's just a lockscreen style, it's the same as sense 3.0 but without the weather and obviously without the different types of lockscreens

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hmohammed43:
The only real way i could think this'd work is if you make a golcard as per this guide:

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/

and then get an RUU for 1.32.405.6 from somewhere (a WWE one would be best). The goldcard would let you flash it without any sort of authentication, but make sure you use a spare microSD, preferably a low capacity one

Hey all. Can't post in the development forum therefore I'll post here.

I have a Leedroid 2.5 A2SD+ rom but this should apply to all A2SD roms.

What I want to do is to force install the software onto the internal memory. I've tried googling and playing around with it myself without any luck. I've ran ADB in recovery and I can't even push the app into "/data/app" since it directs it to "system/sd/app" which is my ext partition.

Is there anyway to do this or I am out of luck ? The reason behind this is that my Handcent is glitching and there is a delay in notifications (vibrate > sound> LED) This started only after I install LeeDroid A2SD+ rom so I have a feeling that my SD card is slowing things down.

Hopefully someone has an idea about this.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malim.bestfilez:
Grrr.... Can't figure it out.

Nothing seems to work. I've tried the guide on the Leedroid Wiki with no luck, I've tried Titanium Backup thing that you have mentioned in the other thread. Doesn't work either. The only thing I don't get is how to remount the sd-ext partition, because in the comments of the Leedroid Wiki, that's what made it work for one of the users. I've tried remounting in CWM(ClockWorksMod) but that didn't work.

SpareParts essentially does that command setInstallLocation 1 but in GUI mod. I am lost.

I've tried using that "pm" command to install onto internal flash since there are commands that apparently allow you too but it still installs onto the SDcard. I am just wondering, is there anyway to temproraly disable App2SD script ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragargon:

if you can't get sorted like this, maybe Darktremor app2sd script wil help you, never tried as i m using data++ rom but here is the complete thread... hope for you that will help.

Hey guys.

I have a Rogers X10(Canada) and I'm trying to go back to the latest stock firmware from Sony/Rogers because Cyanmogen has rendered my phone kaput with dropped calls, weird noises and a close friend of mine can't even call me anymore. Sometimes the calls will get through but then it's just this weird static and we can't hear each-other, other times it just says "Try again later. call cannot be completed". I considered it as maybe a SIM issue but even after purchasing a new one yesterday, still no dice. Along with horrible 3G and so forth.

So I did some research and tried to get it done, but SEUS keeps telling me that I have the latest version of the software and cannot repair/reinstall Sony's firmware. This is the only phone I have and I would very much appreciate some help in getting it back to stock in an hour and a half before I need to go to work :S It's Friday after all and I would like a phone tonight! :)
