[General Questions and Answers] rryanosman:
My phone's been stuck in downloading mode for a week, and it's affecting my efficiency (and my sanity), so now I'm offering some money.

I have a Telus Fascinate 4G SGH-T959P. I wanted to get 2.3.3 on it, so I installed CWM, did a set of backups, and then, because there is no forum area for this phone, I guessed that it must be the Canadian equivalent of the T959V (The Samsung G4), and I loaded a ROM for that phone (I know now I was wrong), and now all my phone will do is go to downloading mode.

Using Odin3 1.7, I have tried writing half a dozen things to the phone, including kernels and roms for the infuse, the regular fascinate, and the 4G, just hoping to get the phone to boot so I could reinstall my CWM backups, but i can't get anything to work.

Now I think I have 4 options. From least to most desirable they are:

4) Electro-toast the phone with a BBQ lighter, and send it in for warranty ("It just quit working one day!?!??"). This would be slow, and scores some bad karma points.

3) I can find someone to send the phone to who can fix it and send it back. This would be great but would still take a week or two.

2) Learn how to extract what I need from a working phone, then go into future shop, buy a new phone, take it into the parking lot, do the frankenstein thing, and take the new phone back in and return it. This would be quick, but risky, time consuming and difficult (I imagine).

1) Find someone on XDA who can get me the file I need, paypal them a $50 reward for motivation. This way, I have fast expert help.

So I welcome any thoughts and comments, but mostly would welcome a .tar file for odin to revive this puppy. If you are the guy who gets me the successful file, I promise I will be very, very happy to send you $50. Or if you can think of a way to get the phone to boot that I can do here in my internet connected RV out in the middle of nowhere, that would qualify too.

P.S. do we need a forum area for this phone?

Thanks everyone.

I just ordered this phone over the weekend hoping to do what you tried and failed at. I guess I should have done more research before ordering :(. Since I'm planning on using it on AT&T, luckily I see that it has been successfully rooted and unlocked here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076493

I'm still hopeful that there will be more support coming for custom roms since this is still on 2.2 but a pretty new phone.

I have not received the phone yet, but would be happy to help you out once I do get it in a few days. I'm noob to andriod though so might need some good detailed instructions from you. Hit me up if you still need help and Ill let you know once I get the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] rryanosman:
Well I'm not really confident on what has to happen either (as evident by my phone's current state), but I read somewhere about a process using a shell on your PC where you pulled all the needed stuff from the phone, then compiled them into a tar file that you could then use in odin. That sounded like what has to happen. I just spent 10 minutes but can't find the thread now... I saved the link on my netbook which is not in front of me atm. At any rate, I would recommend NOT WRITING anything back to your phone until you're sure you know it's going to work. If you create something and upload it, I can throw it at mine.
[General Questions and Answers] rryanosman:
Thanks for the interest everyone, I have successfully unbricked my SGH-T959P!!! I finally went with plan '2'.. I bought another one (this solved my urgency issue and got me back into my google account eg: calendar, notes etc. immediately), and it will be returned virtually virgin in a couple days. It was definitely a lot of research, and effort, but I'm extremely happy to have my phone back.

The key to my success was a post on xda where a guy explained how he did a system backup using adb (search for rotobackup), so I did that. It created one big tar file, but when odin tried to send that, it still choked. So I thought to try to send them one by one. I went back and created a separate tar file for each system file (some didn't need to be tarred), and odined them one by one to figure out which ones were okay. I was able to send to the phone: boot.bin, efs.rfs, factoryfs.rfs, modem.bin, paramlfs.rfs, pit.pit, sbl.bin, and zimage. Eventually, the phone booted up like a factory fresh unit! =D After that, the rest was relatively easy. So now I shall keep those files on my PC in case I or someone else needs them.

Thanks to the xda community, wouldn't've had a chance in hell without you guys.

-Ryan.
[General Questions and Answers] msheikh25:
Nice! Congrats...glad u got it fixed. I unfortunately still haven't received my phone... delivery from Canada seems to be slower than I thought :( You should attach the files to the op anyways or maybe I can do it once I get my phone. Are u still planning to try and find a rom for this phone? Let me know if u have any luck because I haven't been àble to find anything. Kind of bummed that ill have to use 2.2 for a new phone and touchwiz. And the fact that there is no separate section for this phone (not even the telus fascinate 3g+) on here doesn't give me much hope that development support will be coming :(
[General Questions and Answers] rryanosman:
Agreed on the lack of popularity. And ya probably nothing can be done about it. I would be interested in rolling our own roms, but I just don't have the time to play with that stuff, so might have to just live with stock and meager samsung updates. We'll see.

[General Questions and Answers] 07blackwater:
Well it seems I'm totally bricked. ryanosman, what order did you flash those files in?

NVM, looks like I got it!
[General Questions and Answers] rryanosman:
For anyone else, it was a few weeks ago, but I think you use the PDA slot. (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong.) And I'm quite sure it doesn't matter what order.
[General Questions and Answers] 07blackwater:
I used phone slot. It's the only place the .tar files would show up.

The only thing that seemed critical order wise (the only thing that worked for me anyway) was to install modem last, other wise the phone just sat there vibrating.

Thanks again for the files ryan!
[General Questions and Answers] darkknightj:
hey rryanosman can you pm me or email me the tar files you used, i am in desperate need.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] AdamOutler:
Please send the device to me. I did the UnBrickable mod on the SGH-i959.. I was able to locate the proper combination for UnBrickable mod on the Fascinate without removing the procesor. I'd like to attempt the same on the 959P...

It may be just like the 959, but to be sure I'd like to take a shot at it and do it for free, but you pay shipping. I'll make it UnBrickable if I can.

edit: of course, I'll also unbrick the device and release a Heimdall One-Click for restoration to stock with a 959P.
[General Questions and Answers] corms:
Argggg, I am about to give up.

finally Got it to boot no modem function, not sure if all files are good, so i seen you post that you took the backup of all the files from the phone and got yours back up and running, just the person i needed to talk to, someone with all the files and not the collection from sever places to make up all the files i needed..

Where could i get my hands on them files as well.. Mine is messed, and i have tried everything. I have even restored it to boot up, and it has no Radio working in it Wifi works just no Packet Data and no IMEI in my phone, and tried several other modem files, etc. WOuld be nice to just have a copy of actual T959P firmware right from a working phone. I download several roms that say compelete to only extract, and there is 4 or more files missing from them. But if i can get that backup you made it would be much appricated.

if you need to i can set up free access to my servers FTP, and give you an account. You can use it as you wish as my account is unlimited..

I have actually had this happen on bamf as well, but never on old media. I would take a pictureand the next day it would be gone. I thought it was just me not saving them until one day I remembered sharing the picture earlier the day before as well.
[Thunderbolt General] AisforAustin:
I backed up everything already. Should I just format and repair the SD card? and then copy everything back on to it?

Format in CWR, best way.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidhill21:
I would think that I could just flash the original wifi images and then update back to normal but I remember it updated it with a bootloader patch that turns my xoom into a Verizon xoom. Is there any way just to turn my wifi xoom back to a normal wifi xoom all stock?

P.s. Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jase33:
yes. Flash the official Motorola images for 3.0. When done the notification for ota update to 3.1 will come up after setup and connecting to wifi. Don't worry about the bootloader patch, it gets replaced when flash stock 3.0 with moto images.

Hey! I need HELP!

*My phone is a G2*

So a few weeks ago, I flashed the DZ hBoot on my G2 to flash new Unity ROMS aswell as the Dubleshot ROM.

Now. I need to unroot my phone to send it back for a warranty exchange, but when I try flashing the PC10IMG.zip, It says "No Image or Wrong Image" in the Recovery.

I think it is because of the DZ hboot I flashed. Is there any way of reverting back to the stock PC10IMG? and why isnt my G2 reverting back and not finding its PC10IMG file?

If there is any more info I can give, please reply, I need to give this G2 back and its still rooted with a DZ hboot!!!

Also, what do I need to do/what is the phone supposed to be on when I return it?

Right Now I see

Vision PVT ENG S-OFF

Now when I try to unroot the phone with The UnLocker's guide, everything goes smoothly untill I try to flash the PC10IMG.zip file.

It goes Loading...

Then Its about to start and it goes

"Parsing...[PC10IMG.zip]

and it goes back to the HBOOT menu... I CANNOT UNROOT MY PHONE

I need serious help! Please!!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brazildiogo732:
Okay wow, this is a weird series of events....

Now its back to the stock PC10IMG file

Ship and S-ON

I just had to flash a few things...

But the phone is still rooted, i still have cwm, and im still on CyanogenMod... I want to see what I need to do to get the phone fully back to stock! Please someone help me!!

If i need to give any info at all, just tell me, this has been a long day and I am VERY frustratedd!

[Galaxy S II General] kawa636r:
Hi people... i think that Samsung has got a little of troubles of making batteries and charging philosophies.

I has got two devices that are the last technology from samsung, the nexus s and the galaxy s2 right now.

The nexus s has got a very strange trouble (until now not fixed) that battery never reach full 100% state in charging. And much very very long charging time.

The Galaxy S2 reach 100% but takes too much time to charge. It's possibile that never one has think about modifying this?

Where we can start to mod this ? Inside the kernel? Inside bootloader?

I think it's not only a mine trouble
[Galaxy S II General] simax:
i think its the battery charger not the phone, which makes it so slow
[Galaxy S II General] kawa636r:
even using apple 1A charger the charging time remains the same!
[Galaxy S II General] kawa636r:
anybody know a program or a system commands that can show how much amp is going to battery?
[Galaxy S II General] kryptoner:

[Galaxy S II General] simonthor:
Mine finishes very quickly. about 1-2 hours when it's at 25 percent. And you cant fix charging. Remember that it is a big battery. :)
[Galaxy S II General] mynameisjon:
Ever tried using an adaptor for a device that has a lower rating than the adaptor? Ever heard that pop and the smell that follows?

Learn to be patient. Last thing you need is for the battery to blow up and destroy your phone.

protip: turn off your phone while you're charging with AC and not USB.

it could be your USB (and by extension, your PC) is not providing enough power to the USB ports. It happens.

My phone charges in 4 hours with AC when the phone is off. 5 when on.

6 hours on USB, phone off. 8 phone on.
[Galaxy S II General] Rawat:
It can be "fixed" in the kernel.

Samsung made it charge slower so that it charges better.

Faster charging = more heat = more dissipation, and potentially other problems.
[Galaxy S II General] eRajesh:
Even though its a safety feature, its ridiculously slow. Phones takes AGES for a full charge.
[Galaxy S II General] qwerty warrior:
these new phone are strange

my old i8910 HD charges full in like 30 min

and stays without a charge for 3+ days
[Galaxy S II General] Konradwalsh:
Mine charges slower than htc but no too slow.. I'd say 2.5 hours full charge
[Galaxy S II General] Konradwalsh:
Are you serious? I guess it is humor. Either way, it made me laugh
[Galaxy S II General] kawa636r:
incredibly true!
[Galaxy S II General] kawa636r:
too much slowly. I prefer changing battery every 2 years but have a more speedy charging, specially when i'm in middle of day (usually i charge it in the night, but sometimes can't last the entire day)
[Galaxy S II General] kawa636r:
I think that we must ask to someone to have look at kernel.... i will try to make it too
[Galaxy S II General] kawa636r:
lolololololololololololol
[Galaxy S II General] Eclypz:
Do you guys not get more than 3-4 hours of sleep?

Do you guys exhaust the battery to the point where the phone turns itself off before plugging it in?

Can you not plug your phone in before you go to bed?

I always plug my phone in before I go to bed (usually with 10-20% remaining) and I don't remember a time where I wake up in the morning and the phone isn't 100%.

I'm not trying to be cynical...just curious what other people's routines are when 3-4 hours to charge a phone becomes an issue.

A complaint like this wouldn't even cross my mind.
[Galaxy S II General] Polluxus:
I need a faster charge too. Not because I'm impatient but because the phone can use more current then it can charge, especially during car navigation.
[Galaxy S II General] Teio:

Well, the issue here is obvioisly not when sleeping (and yes I slept 3 hrs last noght and got a full charge...bit when on car or @ work, lunch time etc...those little precious weird moments u get in a daily basis when u arent using ur phone and got a charger at hand....maybe it would be possible to make an app which would allow toggling fast charging or slow charging, that way we could have both....fast ( on the run) and slow (night) modes....that would be really nice......but wait....winmo had this remember?
