I'm from mexico and buy the phone online, I understand that the phone is dead, right now the situation that scares me is if the phone is completely dead, the phone has not even repair technical service, because I have no warranty and need to carry a technical service here in Mexico and would have to pay, pay is not a problem right now, so that the service technician can revive the phone. you think they can run again, or already lost my money?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
Ask them
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kakarh:
I'll ask them, but I almost hope I have not, well, thanks for your answers I will comment after what happened to the phone. regards

Pretty Sure I'm Hard Bricked

Obviously I am a complete noob, I don't just play one on TV. After reveling in a rooted phone, I thought I would install a new ROM. Long story short, I was unable to get RED CWM to install and read in a thread to flash my bootloader. After flashing EZBoot-Froyo-1.0.tar.md5 everything went black. I've been scouring the forums and I have no idea what to try next. No luck with Odin, Heimdall, 3 button, pulling battery, simm, sd, etc... in a multitude of combinations. If someone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. I'm wondering if a JIG is my next step. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:

Froyo since froyo is currently on the phone. I thought I was being careful...

Again, a bootloader from another phone... I9000 =/= t959v

In other words, read through the rest of this thread and you have your answer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
In that thread, the only answer that made sense was where it was said "Pull battery, wait few minutes and try 3 button combo again. If this doesn't work then you need the Jig." Or did I miss something?

Ooops, THIS thread... jtag riff box. Thanks peeps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Vicious89:
soft brick which means it has some life as in its stuck on some screen, or blank screen can be recovered with a Jig(when not in download mode) and odin/heimdall. As for hard bricks as in your phone is dead, as in remove the battery dead, you need JTAG/riffbox which is expensive and complicated to do youserlf. I believe Raverx is an expert on this. I once bricked my phone using odin to put the wrong galaxy bootloaders onto the phone. The only way I got it fixed was through mobiletechvideos job check them out if you want.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Caramellolli:
I know what you mean. I had the same problem with mines a few weeks back. I have bricked my phone 5 times different days and got it out of brick many times. Try this and let me know if it worked. Never tried it with a black screen. I have with the = ! = sign ( bricked). You don't need a jig at all when doing this on brick phones. 1)Download and open Odin3 v1.85 2) Take battery out of phone. 3) connect USB to computer. Make sure you have Odin app open and have a rom of your choice in odin, preferably KD1. 5)Connect your phone to USB. 6) Place battery in. If you see the yellow ID:com 10 or whatever, Hit start. You may see green download bar and a download bar on phone. It should say pass when done. For future note: IF YOU SEE FAILED ON ODIN AND YOUR PHONE IS STILL IN DOWNLOAD MODE. DON'T DISCONNECT PHONE JUST DOWNLOAD A ROM/FIRMWARE THAT'S COMPATIBLE
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
I've tried the Odin3 thing a few times (before posting my question), and Odin doesn't see my phone at all. I PM'd connexion2005 last night regarding mobiletechvideos. RaverX3X started a thread a couple of months ago, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1220181 which uses Heimdall. I tried that also (again, before posting my question) with which I have had no luck so far. My next step is to try the Heimdall from Linux. Unfortunately I know even less about Linux than your average household wombat. I posted in this thread vs. the one mentioned above, to see if I was making things more complicated than necessary. There's an outfit in here in Portland that claims to be able to fix the phone. I'll be asking them if they have a jtag riff box. On a funny note, I talked with another repair place the other day, telling them I had hard bricked my phone by flashing the wrong bootloaders. They asked me what that meant!

Galaxy S 4G Brick

I had the same issue and with a little guidance from this forum i was referred to Mobile Tech Videos. Sent the phone out, 7 days later came back unbricked or "resurrected" and they even flashed 2.3.6 for me. Superb Service. :p

A few weeks ago, I followed the insturctions here to flash to SBF 2.1.1 on my Bell Atrix: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1070076

I chose to setup Greyblur on it.

All went ok, but I have one issue. Wifi doesn't work with the Sim card removed. When I turn on wifi and attempt to scan for networks, it just says 'scanning' indefinitely. It doesn't find any networks.

Any ideas on whether it is a known issue with the sbf or greyblur, or whether I can fix it?
[EVO 4G General] thelovatscout:
Well, one of the threads is "More than Meets the Eye" and is RLS 5 and as far as I can see supports 4G. Yet, last time it was updated was quite sometime ago.

The more recnt one is the one I'd assume would be better and faster and more preffered. Buuut, I don't see that it supports 4G, and its RLS 1. I don't have any idea what RLS means, but I'm just trying to figure out what the difference is...

Myns warntwopointtwo is actually the first Rom for the EVO and it was and still is one of the best looking roms in the EVO , warm z is a port not 4g and synergy is sense 2.1 mix with sense 3.0 the best of both world including 4g and gingerbread :)
[EVO 4G General] thelovatscout:
Right, I was just on Synergy but my battery life was really bad, even with that power saver so I switched to try out MIUI again. Hadnt tried it since it first came out. Anyways, I still don't think I quite grasp what the difference is between More than Meets the Eye and Yabba Dabba Doo.
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
myn's warm twopointtwo is based on stock evo software (froyo, outdated software from december btw). it's an oldie but a goodie.

synergy is a project with like 8 devs on 3 phones that is a sense 3.0/2.1 gingerbread mix. it is (in many people's opinion) the best rom for the evo ever. battery is bad because htc hasn't released kernel source yet, so no kernel battery saving mods. bug htc on their twitter for them to release it lol.
[EVO 4G General] cranbiz:
I guess battery life on Synergy is a matter of your phone. I get good life out of it, I can easily go 24 hours with normal use and I leave BT, GPS, 4G and wireless on.

Some report that it needs to settle in, how long did you give Synergy?

dkdude, love your carousel and widgets for Synergy. Have you given any thought on trying to get landscape to work? Just asking as that would be da bomb! Anyways, thanks a lot. (Sorry for the hijack)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpxtech:
I know there's no exploits as of right now for 2.3.3, but I've heard of stock roms that are rooted? Can someone explain? And what's the best way to go about flashing it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
There are rooted stock ROMs, but you can't flash them unless you already have root. The rooted stock ROMs are for people who don't want a custom ROM, but do want root access or want to flash back to stock from a custom ROM without losing root access.

If you have an unrooted GB system, you're still stuck with it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpxtech:
Ah, ok. That makes sense, So right now I have 2.3 w/4.22.651.1 and hdboot 2.16. Which means I have to wait for the exploit? Is there a way to downgrade to earlier rootable verersion, root then apply GB?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mark_Hardware:
Nope. If only it were that easy lol. Once you're updated, and s-on, you're sol.

Since the current break thru on Fr3vo and soon Fre3dom.

My excitement level is getting higher and higher everyday.

Don't get me wrong I am enjoying what I have at the moment.

I have had no issues at all with my Sensation.

But XDA and being an owner of the HD2 I have become a flashaholic.

I am wondering what roms everyone is waiting on?

I personally can't wait for a Cyanogen or MIUI Rom to flash.

And you?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ms.Dummbunny:
(wouldn't be the FIRST time :)

k, just wanna say i searched the word "texts" and dint get one hit in this thread. Thinkin' THAT can't be right but here goes...

Is there a way to send texts on this or becuz its wi-fi only, OR is that an "eyeroll question"?

Other than that shortcoming, i have to say my 1st 24 hours with this thing has been nothing but great.

I was one of those "whatintheworlddoineedatabletfor" ppl and i have to say i am madly inlove with this thing. i already had bought an ASUS MT91 Touch Tablet last fall (even tho it came with Windows 7 Home Premium, not Starter) but after just a few weeks it was just too slow to use at a desk and too heavy to use as a couch potato prop.

This thing picks up where my EVO leaves off and i'm lovin' it to pieces...

But again, what about sending texts? Is this capable of that? (and don't laugh, i KNOW i must be missin' something?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ms.Dummbunny:
In my impatience... (lol)

.... I went ahead and bought & installed SyncMMS for 3 bucks which seems like it'd do the trick EXCEPT for the fact it keeps force-closing everytime i try to Register for a dropbox so it can "do its thing"... I sent a msg to the developer... But thanks y'all, appreciate all the replies : )

In the meantime. here's another dumm q... I know the Market Aps for Honeycomb are very limited right now, but again i MUST be doing something wrong, as i have seen so many posts here and there that say they downloaded thus and such on their Asus TF from Market and when i go there, i never find ANY. Just a handful. I read ALL apps should download but not "look right" or have a big black box around them, i'm not finding ANY apps i recognize....

Is there a way to bypass the Market and d/l straight from Internet, even if they won't look right, i wouldn't mind- i registered with App Brain but i'm not seeing it IF there is a way... : )

thanx again
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrcerulean:
If you're phone is also an Android device, try TexTab: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1133277.

Otherwise, Google Voice is your friend.

I also tried SyncSMS, and I didn't like it at all. It uses Dropbox as an intermediate storage facility and sends messages between devices via WiFi. The problem with that is that you have to set polling intervals. Put them too close (5 min) and your battery life suffers. Put them too far (30 min) and the app is useless since you lose the immediacy of SMS.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
TextPlus works pretty well too
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ms.Dummbunny:
that makes a lot of sense... Will ck out ur link.... ty!

**Edit... Just saw it was a zip file... Do i need to be rooted?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
that looks like a sweet apk.

I don't think you need to be rooted. Unzip the file and install the apk on both devices. You might have to check the unknown sources box in settings/applications/unknown sources. This will allow you to install the apk through file manager by clicking on it.

I'm gonna download it now and check it out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
Been testing TextTab, known bug that after tge TF sleep I loose connection to the phone. I think once wifi is implemented it will be a great app.

One good things about SyncSms, if say you're going over sea, you can leave phone on at home and bring the

TF, so long a you have internet connection you can get and send sms.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ms.Dummbunny:
Thanks for checking all that out, i will do it too when i get home. Learned something new thanks 2 u, eventho i've rooted my phone, replaced pngs, installed ROMS, modified things in themes i didn't like, YET i never knew a reg zip file could be installed on an un-rooted phone, so THAN U!

Think i prolly won't be using the SyncSMS after the issue u described, and as for it being good overseas, thats not a plus for ME, since the liklihood of me going overseas is pretty nil. Work, home, Jack In The Box is about as broad a travelling that i do...lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
I tried SyncSMS but the lag was unacceptable...I waited 5 minutes for a text that never came through.

If that could be fixed, then it would seem to be a great app

My favorite, hands down, is Battery Diviner. It doesn't look especially pretty, but it learns how you use your phone and it makes an excellent prediction on remaining battery life based on your usage habits.

[General Questions and Answers] iModMM:
Hello everyone!

I'm on sprint. And usually id say all high-end android phones on sprint are around $549. I searched the sg2 on eBay and the UK version was around $700-$800!!! Will it be like this for usa sprint users too?! If it is, I'll probably go for the evo 3d.

Thank You!
[General Questions and Answers] Tiago Martines:
The ones which are being sold on eBay and Amazon.com are indeed from other countries (mostly European). That price may include int'l shipping and possibly some taxes. That's why it's so expensive.

A no-contract i9100 is £435 on Amazon.co.uk, which roughly converts to $700 - a reasonable guess for the American version release price.
[General Questions and Answers] iModMM:
so you think all version will be $700? thats a lot of money for a phone!
[General Questions and Answers] Tiago Martines:
Well, I've paid a bit more than that on my SGS2 - I had the chance to buy one while I was travelling abroad :)

I can't say it was a bad deal as I'm from Brazil, where an unlocked SGS2 costs much more than that...

But hey, this phone is 55 days old or so... its price will certainly drop. Just look how cheap SGS is nowadays ;)
[General Questions and Answers] iModMM:
it hasnt even been released in the usa yet! but how is it? is it really good for the price? and idk if you ever heard of the evo 3d, well if you have, whats better sg2 or evo 3d?
[General Questions and Answers] Tiago Martines:
It was my first Android device (my previous phone was a Nokia N85 - Symbian) and I must say it's impressively fast when compared to any other Android phone I could see from friends. Everything is perfect - if I must point something bad about it I could mention the battery, which rarely lasts more than 24h, but I'm pretty sure that will be solved with the next Android update (2.3.4).

I haven't checked Evo 3D specs, so I cannot really say much about it - there must be reviews comparing them somewhere else. What I have got is a Nintendo 3DS, and if Evo 3D uses the same effect, it's probably pretty cool! However, some of my friends had issues with the Nintendo 3DS effect causing headaches...
[General Questions and Answers] iModMM:
ty for reply! this phone looks amazing! best android phone out there! could you tell me some more stuff about galaxy s 2 that will blow my mind lol? what else is amazing? whats bad?
[General Questions and Answers] Tiago Martines:
Well, most of the stuff I'm really impressed about are just Android features other phones have, as this was my first one - but the SGS2 just do all of them faster :P

The SGS2 screen is its key feature, and it is really nice. The camera is great for both photos and videos (1080p). There is also a software called Kies Air which enables me to connect to my phone and control it right from my web browser wirelessly, pretty easy to get any files inside it.

The only problem I've had so far is with the battery, as I mentioned before =/
[General Questions and Answers] iModMM:
this phone looms amazing!! If it is really expensive above $700 I might just get evo 3d. I really want this tho!
