ICS installation has left me unable to access phone

Hi,

My Galaxy Note (UK) had an automatic update last night to ICS 4.0.3 and left me with no access to several functions, especially any access to internal or external storage card. It also had various messages 'internet stopped working' processes stopped working' etc. There was also an issue with MTP initialisation and randomly 'scanning for media' prior to the update I tried to do the automatic update to rectify the initial update but with no success.

I have seen the thread on here and although not read all 91, i've probably read 20 or so, as well as spending 10 hours on the pc trying to rectify this.

The last state and one which I have been working on for the last 6 0r 7 hrs was updating via Odin 3 v1.85 (which i have installed and then removed and reinstalled from a different site. Ive followed the instructions to use Odin and have the following message:

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> N7000XXLA6_N7000OXXLA1_N7000XXLA4_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<ID:0/012> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/012> Can't open the serial(COM) port.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

This is the 3rd updat i've tried as i've also tried going back to gingerbread. ive also tried N7000XXLA6_N7000OXXLA1_N7000XXLA4_HOME.tar.md5 and N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_N7000XXLRB_HOME.tar.md5

The current state of play is the phone will only give 2 options - the download, which fails, or the screen saying Firmware upgrade encountered an issue - please select recovery mode in Kies & try again - which i obviously cant connect to.

I have not seen any comments showing this problem, or I would have at least felt that there was an issue that was not (apparently unique). I have seen 'ideas' that maybe I need a new battery, or I should get another micro SD and put the ROM onto that and reboot.

Any help or pointers greatly received as I out of ideas.

Thanks

ICS installation has left me unable to access phone (UPDATE)

After worrying so much about the issue with the bricking kernel I went of and looked at odin problems. I found, and followed this advice:

Odin shows here a failed problem with the COM port.

This Com port is a virtual port that when you plug in the USB cable it is automatically found.

When can sort this problem when it happens?

Firstly go to Windows Task Manager and close all Samsung Kiss programmes that may be open.

Then remove all USB devices from your PC apart from mouse, keyboard, and the USB cable to your phone. If you have a USB hub then remove that too.

Now plug the USB that’s attached to your phone into a different USB port.

That should have sorted the problem and the flash then works.

After following the instructions and eventually removing Kies. This hasnt solved the problem though. Again ive tried both ICS and GB. Last report was this:

samsung i9003

Due to unbearable lag while texting I decided to try rooting my samsung gt-i9003 with gingerbread 2.3.6.

I tried using superoneclick 2.3.3.0 but when the rooting procedure halts with this message (these are only the last lines of the log, if you need more, ask away)

I just retried the rooting process and superoneclick is not responding since a few minutes, phone is apparently unchanged. If superoneclick stops not responding I'll post the log.

Rooting unusual tablet

I have a Korean-brand tablet, Eden Midas (I said it was unusual :o) which I would like to root if possible. Unfortunately getting information on it is not easy for me (reading Korean via google translate). From what I have found so far, I strongly suspect it is already running a custom ROM (possibly MIUI). Is there any likelihood of being able to root it without bricking it? If so, what would be the most promising/safest path? I have some familiarity with linux/unix systems, very little with android internals. The information I have (anything I can guess might be relevant) is:

Galaxy Nexus IMM76K Bootloop Problem

Im a noob, and I attempted to use clockworkmod manager to try and get jellybean. However, instead, I wound up bootlooping the phone and have since been messing around with wugs, galaxy nexus toolkit 7.5, and trying different things to just restore the phone to stock. Id like a step by step of how to fix this if anyone can. When powered on the phone displays Google with a black screen and unlocked icon. Loads that twice, then shows android on back with a red warning triangle floating above. Cannot run phone. Can use fastbootwith wugs and galaxy nexus toolkit 7.5. Im a nooby noob so as basic as w can get would be great. Any advice or help greatly appreciated.

I just got a Samsung Exhibit II 4G off a prepaid tmobile plan, and I've been trying to get windows to install these MTP drivers (windows 7) so I can root this ****in POS phone (2.3.6) but so far nothing I've done has worked to actually get this thing to play nice with windows.

I can connect it and get a vague phone icon in My Computer with the name of my device, but when I try opening it there's nothing in there, and Zerg Rush downloaded from here (which NOD32 sees as a virus btw) can't find it.

I've tried installing the Android SDK tools, tried messing with group policies to make the drivers not auto install and try and manually install any of the like 5 different versions I've been pointed to on here and either nothing works, or windows is like "these aren't made for 64bit/32bit, check with whoever provided them" or when I try to update them, windows is like "yo you already have the latest version of MTP, I'm not doing ****"

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm just lost here.

MTK6575 flashing difficulties

I badly need help. please save my phone.

I am not allowed to post to the official N8000 thread, I have ready every page of that thread but nothing seems to help me out.

Basically, my phone is messed up! The graphics display is all in wrong colors.

I learned from the thread that I need to use SP-Flashtool or SP-MDT Tool.

I also downloaded their official release of the July 5 version of the firmware.

From the thread, they said that I need to choose the right drivers for the display if the colors are not right.

My problem is that I can't seem to keep the phone connected and appering in the device manager.

THe first time I connected it, it asked for the driver. I used the driver provided in the thread and I was able to install it.

But here is the problem, once the driver got installed, it disconnects and disappears from the device manager. I am using XP pro.

If I unplug the phone, then plug it again, I hear the Windows sound for newly plugged in USB device. I also see the device manager refresh and it appears there as Mediatek USB VCOM Port. But after 2 seconds, I hear the USB Diconnect device sound, and then also the device manager refreshes and the Mediatek USB VCOM Port disappers. I did this the whole day but I can't seem to make it stay.

Using the SP-Flash Tool, I was able to flash the phone. All I did was followed their advice to click "Download" first before pluggin in the device. The device gets connected and before it gets disconnected again, SP-Flashtool is able to make detect it and it does not disconnect. Right after the flashing process is finished, it gets disconnected automatically.

However, the SP-Flashtool does not have the option to select display drivers. only the SP-MDT tool can.

The problem is that the unlike the SP-Flashtool, the SP-MDT cannot detect my device before it automatically disconnects.

I am pulling my hair out but I don't know how I can put this device back to life.

Can somebody help me please? How do i make SP-MDT detect my phone.

I followed all the instructions clearly. I am sure I did not skip any. But I still can't make SP-MDT tool work.

What should I do?

Wireless issues w/ AOKP Jellybean on Rogers HOX

Hey all, longtime lurker and n00b poster here, so unfortunately I cannot direct my question in the actual ROM support forum. Would appreciate if mods would be willing to move my post to its rightful place if they feel nice =)

I have just successfully installed the latest AOKP Jellybean rom on my Rogers HOX, so far its amazing, my only question is I am unable to see my wireless N network, only my g network. I've seen this on a few other roms, Am I able to fix this my self with flashing something to my phone ontop of the rom or do I need to wait for the ROM itself to be updated to include the feature, if indeed it is missing.

If some of you are using the same rom and are able to see your wireless n networks and connect to them, please speak up and I'll start fiddling with my phone on my end.

Appreciate it.

Thanks.

As long as the phone still boots, I believe it can still be restored. You just need to have a copy of the stock firmware, or maybe any firmware, and flash it to the phone. Are you still able to enter recovery mode? How about download mode?

Differnt phones have different driver installation procedures.

Some even have different drivers depending on what you are trying to accomplish.

Most of the branded phones normally comes with an installation package for drivers. Examples are Kies for Samsung, or the ZTE USB Driver installer for the ZTE Blade (Orange San Francisco).

When I say installer, I mean it's an executable file with extension ".exe". That means it will run by itself and install the drivers for you.

However, a lot of android phones doesn't have installers but the actual drivers itself with the extension ".inf"

I am not that familiar with Sony but when I was new to Android, I also had a lot of driver installation problems with my phone.

The main challenge is not have an ".exe" file but only an ".inf" file.

Right-clicking the file and selecting install should work, but not on my case.

So What I did was I tried to let windows detect it and then on the windows wizard, I selected the file location of the driver.

It seemed to install however right at the last step when I click the "Finish" button, the phone disconnects automatically.

I mean it doesn't stay present in the device manager. If I unplug and re-plug, I hear the usb detection sound and I watched my device manager updating and showing my phone, but then after 2 seconds, it refreshes again and then my phone disappears.

So I guess, to make it short, here is what I have found out (may not be applicable to your phone):

There is a different driver if I want windows to detect my phone while it's turned on, or to have it detected from ADB Devices while on USB Debugging mode.

The .inf file I have must first be installed with the phone turned-off and the battery is out.

I then have to unplug and replug this time with the battery in, and then install with the same inf file.

May I ask if you have an .exe file for your driver, or just an .inf file?

There is a differ

What do you mean by reset up?

If you are just talking about the apps, contacts, etc. You don't have to do it with your service provider.

You can just simply do it again like how you did it when you first had your phone.

Non unless your phone is DMA. It needs to be programmed by punching OTKSL or MSL codes.

If it's GSM, then you're good to go.

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

I think there is already a CM9 from clockwork for this phone. Try searching using "Orange San Francisco CM9" if you can't find one with "ZTE Blade."

Removing Clockworkmod without a factory recovery?

I bought a T-Mobile Prism (Huawei U8651-T, a prepaid) and rooted it almost immediately. Now I'd like to return it to stock, but I can't find a factory recovery for the phone or figure out how to remove Clockwork. After viewing this post on the Droid forums, I got ADB working, but I can't su (presumably because I unrooted) or find any 'hijack' or 'logwrapper' files.

If it's possible to get rid of Clockwork and restore the factory recovery program without root access (or to unroot after removing Clockwork), I would greatly appreciate that information. This is the procedure I followed to gain root access. To unroot, I used the backup I created after installing clockworkmod.

Cheers

Edit: I'm still finding and trying stuff, so maybe the Droid procedure works. I just don't know what I'm doing yet. Here's another version of the Droid procedure.

md5sum

How do you check the md5sum?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Prismer:
re: md5sum

As a n00b, I only know of two things you could be referring to.

a) Backing up your phone generates an md5sum. In this case, the recovery program will check it before attempting to restore from the backup.

b) You have a file on your computer and know its md5sum. Then, you can put the file through an md5sum generator and check the output against the md5sum you were given. If they are the same, the file is intact.

Hope this helps.

Hey, I've got a nasty problem and I'm already out of ideas.

I'm using rooted HTC One S [S4] (O2 UK) and a couple of days ago I received OTA update which I could NOT install because I deleted some bloatware and stock apps (It didn't cause any problems before). Basically the updater asked for a reboot, but after the red triangle screen an error popped up and the update was cancelled.

Then I decided to flash a Viper custom ROM. After installing, everything seemd to work fine, except the vibrations. The heptic feedback stopped functioning properly (almost at all).

I tried wiping caches and factory resets as well as flashing custom kernels (Fusion Ultimate) and some other custom roms (Unofficial AOKP, TrickDroid), I even tried flashing RUU file, but nothing restored the vibrations.

The curious thing is, that sometimes while rebooting there is a short vibration like it happens normally, or when I don't use the phone for a couple of minutes and somebody calls me then it vibrates normally, but the vibrations are gone when I unlock the phone (except the the first 5 touches of softkeys which cause vibrations which gradually decrease in strength).

If i want to upgrade to this version, do i still need to wipe cache data / dalvik cache and flash boot.img before install? And if i need to do that, wouldnt that mean that all my settings and apps will be wiped clean as well? Can i backup all of this first using titanium and restore it back later?
