[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fugy56:
I've flashed my Galaxy S2 with Odin several times and it has worked fine until yesterday, when I tried to flash again, and everything just froze.

I followed the normal instructions for flashing and the phone just stopped at the "downloading" screen where it says, "Do not turn of target!!".

So it has been, for several hours now. The Odin window on my computer seems to be waiting... but for what? Will it ever time out?

Is it normal that a flash session can take several hours? :confused:

Is it safe to interrupt it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicregi:
Odin will flash, takes less than 5 minutes.

Is there any data running that you can see? I mean at the bottom left. I would suggest you turn off the phone, battery pull, wait for 5 minutes, and reflash back.

If it semi bricked, use JIG to revive it.

Either way, you can't be letting the phone there for the next few days etc right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2smoe:
Did you click Start in Odin??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
Although i don't have an s2(will be getting one soon) did you try to reset your pc? When i was flasing my sgsl i was stuck in this situation where odin seems to freeze everytime. I restarted my pc and poof, flashed without a problem :)

Edit: was flashing successful? If so maybe you should follow the instruction from the post below.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anfearg:
This might sound stupid but did you have 'auto-reboot' checked? It happened to me once even though I have flashed hundreds of times. Odin was still open after flashing a kernel and never reset.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fugy56:
Start was clicked - yes.

Re boot was checked - yes.

I reset my computer and restarted my phone and - now it's still frozen, but with an icon on the center showing three icons in a line. First is a phone, second is a exlamation mark and third is a computer. Yiipiiiee. It doesn't boot. I can't get into recovery mode. Download mode does work however, but still the same behaviour. It freezes if I try to flash it.

Now what? Where is that reset-button which resets the phone and clears its brain down to original mode? A simple "brain wash" would be nice. :)

Is there anyway out of this "freeze of death" ? :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2smoe:
Flash CWM kernel, download CM7 rom, copy it on SDCard (mount USB storage in CWM, connect to PC via USB, copy ROM), flash ROM from CWM
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
Try to go into recovery mode and factory reset and clear cache and try flashing again (make sure you are on download mode)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicregi:
Hold power button to off it (hold a lil longer for this).

Then Go into recovery mode (power, home button and volume up at same time). Try do wipe all data, cache and even dalvik. Reboot and see if that works.

Alternatively, at the same place, go into restore backup.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2smoe:
The man said: "I can't go into recovery mode"

...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fugy56:
Recovery mode doesn't work - nope. :) But thanks anyway. It's nice to see that people at least try to help. :) Big hugs to you all.

If I try to flash CWM, I come into the same freeze again. Mindbending stuff ala Samsung, huh. They clearly don't make idiot-safe products. I'm stuck. My next phone might be a StarTAC... :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr3quency:
Has happened to me before. KIES was opened. I closed all KIES files and the flashing fun started again~
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2smoe:
Good point, make sure Kies isn't running when using Odin!

Also, now that you've flashed CWM, can't you boot on it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fugy56:
Kies is not running and whatever I flash - it freezes. The green progress bar in Odin reaches maybe 1 cm, but no blue progress bar is visible on the phone as usually happens when flashing. It just says, "Downloading... Don't turn off target!!"

Am I slowly heading towards the brutal-axe-method? :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2smoe:
Sounds like the NAND is damaged to me, but I'm no expert...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fugy56:
"NAND" means? Why does it sound like it's damaged? How can it get repaired?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2smoe:
NAND is the flash chip (internal sdcard). Seems that its damaged because you're unable to fully flash it.

I don't think you can have that repaired (if the NAND is truly damaged, like I said I'm no expert), you'd have to get the phone replaced.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fugy56:
With all respect, let's hope you aren't an expert, but better. :) But has anyone else interrupted a flash process and went though a "freeze"?

I'm looking for a way to reset the phone to use only what was burnt into ROM from first delivery. I just can't accept that it is so easy to mess up a phone, and I doubt Samsung would be so crazy not to build it with a rescue kinda last savior. Am I totally naive? :( Is my baby dead? :'(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2smoe:
lol I hope for you that I'm wrong also!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saketme:
Something similar had happened with me too. The phone was stuck b/w flashing with odin. And the startscreen was showing those 3 icons. It was soft bricked.

But I then finally fixed it by flashing CF and then a ROM
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fugy56:
When you did the CF and ROM flash, in which order did you do them and did they take normal time like a few minutes or did they flash for extremely long time again?

I am trying the same and it gets stuck at

<ID:0/003> Added!!

<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..

<ID:0/003> File analysis..

<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/003> factoryfs.img

For flashing I use only PDA - a stock KG1. The green progressbar in Odin is barely visible, but it's obviously started, end then stuck :(

I'll have to leave it overnight. If it ain't OK tomorrow morning, I'll be givin away a free Galaxy S2. :'(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mago_d:
Hi, you fix it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mantian:
It happened the same to me earlier(Odin stuck and the 3 icon screen on my SGSII) and I took off the battery for 5 min. and tried the vol.down + home + power to get back to the download mode and it worked! You could try it, good luck!
[HTC EVO 3D] neopolotin75:
Ok...so I updated my radios using the all in one zip minus the Hboot...it flashed successfully. For some reason I can only flash the dedoxed 2.3.4 and synergy roms. Steels ROM and kushdeck won't flash....phone literally sits on splash screen for 10 15 mins. I foactory wipe, synergy wipe and t3 wipe each time.....even reformated the SD card. I'm using twirp and get no errors flashing. Ideas????
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
what is synergy wipe and t3 wipe?
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Interesting. I'm guessing something in the update is causing it. I would try running the 1.13 ruu to try to downgrade. I think it will let you since you're s off. That should remove the new update. Then reroot and try flashing again, see if it works.
[HTC EVO 3D] neopolotin75:
I was thinking that but why would 2 of 4 ROMs based off 2.3.4 work and they other 2 not? I had no problems flashing on 2.3.3. You mean downgrade and then upgrade again right and not re-root?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] jkrauser2:
LOL,

DX bootsound!!!

I am 100% sure it is DX.

Flash it with xRecovery.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Symposium:
Hi everyone hopefully you'll read my thread. My problem on my qtek 9000 (HTC universal platform as i understood reading through your and others forums) doesn't show bootloader version in bootloader mode, it happened after i installed firmware wm 6.5 by Xplode (64Mb only)... because before that it was showing the bootloader version. Of course if i knew then (it was my first firmware installing on this kind of device) i would've remembered the bootloader version, but i hadn't and as I understood if you don't wanna brick your phone you should pick right firmwares for right bootloader versions. Please help me to find out the version, maybe in other ways.

I'm having a weird problem. When I try to login to facebook via the official app it gives me an error that it cant login at this time. And when I try to add my account to sense it says my password is incorrect (but it isnt). yet i can still login on my computer or even from the mobile site. I have already tried clearing application cache, wiping cache and dalvik, reinstalling, and reflashing but nothing works.... im downloading a different rom now to see if it helps. does anybody have any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] hibby50:
ive now flashed multiple roms and none are working.... any suggestions would be appreciated
[HTC EVO 3D] Mnemoch:
You are typing your password wrong. Or restoring a bad copy of the app.
[HTC EVO 3D] hibby50:
the passwords right and i havent changed it in over a year. also im using the facebook app included in the rom
[HTC EVO 3D] luderbeck1:
Try going into Settings and Applications and clear the data for Facebook.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
I had that happen before. I actually had to log in to Facebook from my pc, then go into my account settings and delete all of the recognized/allowed devices. I forget what section it is in, but its definitely in account settings somewhere. Maybe try that, and then try logging in again. I have no clue why it did that, but that's what I had to do.
[HTC EVO 3D] hibby50:
I already tried that
[HTC EVO 3D] hibby50:
yea i thought that might be it but i looked through all the facebook settings and i dont see it
[HTC EVO 3D] hibby50:
bump ... sorry but i still cant find any solution
[HTC EVO 3D] CharlyDigital:
Try going into fb on your computer and change settings so that you receive a text when attempting to log in from a new device. Then log in on you phone with your pass. You will get a notice saying unable to log in. Within a few secs you will receive a text with a pass to use instead of your normal pass. Should work it did for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] hibby50:
I checked both email and text for the option:

Login Notifications: Email and text message notifications are enabled.

And i tried to login multiple times from the facebook app and sense and i got no notifications.
[HTC EVO 3D] wbchristmas:
I've had the same issues as well! Tried everything and still can't get through.
[HTC EVO 3D] hibby50:
thanks for your suggestions everyone. I ended up fixing it by logging in with my phone number instead of my email. it then asked me to add my phone to a list of trusted devices.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pcworks:
Picked one from CPW this evening. Got mine in white with the T-mobile simcard thrown in. Looks very good in white and was unlocked. It is a big upgrade from my LG Gt540, very impressed by the speed of the little beast, Flash 10.3 runs very smooth, apps open quickly. Very pleased to get a Qualcomm 8255 processor powered phone for this money.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] teapea:
pcworld - how much was that and was the bootloader unlockable? I can get a free upgrade to this phone from my Voda contract, but I expect that'll be Voda branded and have a locked down bootloader - so will probably upgrade, sell and buy sim free.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] saugatdb:
bootloader is unlockable through se website, not sure if it applies to branded phones too or not. but be sure that it will void your warranty
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pcworks:
Phone was unlocked and unbranded cost £149 + £10 compulsory topup.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Super Chimp:
Is it only T Mobile carrying the white version?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pcworks:
They had generic black and white unbranded versions in the store, all were unlocked GSM stock, they are not networked linked . You pick the colour you want and then they give you a T-mobile sim pack which is preloaded with £10 credit or an orange sim. I haven't opened my sim pack as I have a T-mobile payg sim with free internet already.

[Vibrant General] romitkin:
Ever since I own the Vibrant, I never managed to record a conversation.

I have been through a lot of ROMs, like Bionix 1.3.1, Simply Honey, Cyanogen, MIUI. Project V and many others.

A few of these ROMs had a recording button built in the dialer app, which never worked (when playing the recording I hear only some static noise).

I have tried all call recording apps from the market, including some paid ones, and I never could actually record a conversation.

Always this static noise.

Is it anything related to the hardware? my Vibrant was produced in July 2010. Actually bought it on March 2011 on eBay but probably it was some old stock.

I know about the law that doesn't allow to record a call, but in my country this law doesn't apply, and when calling a service provider like my ISP I always have to record the call otherwise I can't prove anything if they promise something and then say it never happened.

Any ideas how to record a conversation?
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Apparently only vibrants built after a certain date have the proper hardware setup. My first vibrant, bought August of last year wouldn't allow recording. My new vibrant which I got in March does allow. This was using the exact same rom.

In addition the feature only works on froyo. I haven't seen it working on GB.
[Vibrant General] coolairG1:
I bought my vibrant in July last year. I was able to record conversation using a recording app I paid $7 when I was on froyo, and when I used Simply Honey froyo. Since I upgrade to Gingerbread, nothing work.
[Vibrant General] Jasonhunterx:
I believe darkys rom had it
[Vibrant General] compucanton:
You can use Google voice to record calls just push the number 4 during a call via google voice. It will show up as a voicemail.

[XPERIA X10 General] Frosty666:

[XPERIA X10 General] a2ha:
The UI is very nice, like for example when answering a phone call it looks way better than in any other rom, but i prefer rom's with menu's more since MIUI doesn't :)

[XPERIA X10 General] kunalgahlot:
MIUI-

no menu like default ROMS- menu is like iphone

awesome features,like a country name is flashed when someone calls u

the drag down noticifaction menu has all the shortcuts ,so no widgets

faster than default roms

awesome themes with really nice lock screens

music controls on lock screen

MIUI cam is good

now one will say we can have all these in stock roms with apps but why to install app when everything is by default in MIUI

now if you are starting to make a MIUi rom then put this and it will be best rom ever

MIUI Interface with option launchers like SE stock launcher

MOST IMPORTANT- SE DEFAULT CAM and not MIUI Cam

Cyanogen mod settings

Trip is already working on a rom with features from all other ROMS to make a super rom..but in XDA we have nothing sort of that...so lets starts a poll what we need and a dev can start on that ROM
[G2 and Desire Z General] johng75:
litterally out of the blue about 2 days ago, the 4 capacitive buttons on the front simply do not respond to touch...

and EVERYTHING else is working fine, keyboard, display, trackpad, everything else is working w/o a problem...

the lights behind the buttons come on, but no response when pressed...

its currently running Unity 1.27 (since released)

ive tried the patch via CWM to remap the keys to no avail... i am going to try and get into titanium to run a backup of apps, then wipe and flash version 1.31 of unity hoping its a software issue...

the closest thing i found to my issue (DZ related) was an issue with the light sensor causing the backlght to act up, but that isnt whats going on here, so as of now im at a total loss...

any help or direction would be greatly appreciated...
[G2 and Desire Z General] johng75:
Ok, I wiped, flashed and installed 1.31 and same thing... Crap it has to be HW related then...

Ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z General] evilcuber:
If you are sure its hardware related, then try to unroot your phone and see if you can get a replacement from your carrier.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gun:
You need to buy them and replace them. They come as a set with microphone and vibrator attached. Very cheap on ebay. Middle plate has to be separated from glass to get to them.
[G2 and Desire Z General] johng75:
only reason im leaning towards HW is because i already reflashed, and wiped the phone, and they still dont respond...

only problem is,im in FL-USA, and this came from canada... lol

buttons can be bought on ebay huh?

EDIT: would this be what im looking for?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BUTTON-TRAC...232?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb6a583b8

Hello fellow galaxy comrades. I've finally bought myself a galaxy s2, I absolutely adore it. But I just have a question, when I use android system info ap its says that I have an ARMv7 processor, however when I check the Internet many sites say it should have an cortex arm9.

My gpu is mali400 which seems fine but I'm just worried i've picked up a variant. I'd rather have the original beast.

Have a picked up a variant?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
You have the correct phone .

Question been asked before .

[Galaxy S II General] 0semaj0:
As legit as a bar of gold my friend...the terms you see are purely technical terms hence the variance. Not to worry, the other variant (cut down version) has LCD rather than LED (not as bright, vibrant or wow factor), has Nvidia chipset (slower than Mali). So I would be surprised if you were even able to purchase the variant (Samsung I9103) since it has not been released for sale. Specification of the variant...
[Galaxy S II General] Hero Yu:
Thank you for your quick reply, I'll be hitting that thanks button when I get to a computer :)
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
ARMvX is the architecture, the cortex A9 is an ARMv7 design.

Also you may notice that some programs say only 1 core, but thats due to the phone hotpluging (aka adding and removing while the power is on) the 2nd core as and when needed to save power.
