R: Samsung Galaxy 5 i5550 stuck?

the system partition MUST be ro. The OS will no boot if r/w..!!

You can try to boot the recovery with Odin, too.. Once there you can fix permission and solve the problem (there is an option to do that) or flash CM again..

You said it was slow, so I assume you flashed CM10, didn't you? I'm asking just because CM7 is really smooth, best ROM ever for our little bro, while CM10 will always be too much heavy for it, IMO..

Should have known before...

I should have known it before... I would have tried remounting it again and again before rebooting to check that the init.d script was working...

I cannot use Odin: I've tried it on a Windows box but it stops at something like "check plcatform verification"... I've tried to leave it for half an hour with no results. I've tried to flash CWM using Emergency DLoad Mode (Menu+Power) but, again, it doesn't work.

I've also tried to restore it using Samsung Kies, but it says that my phone doesn't support emergency restore.

I read somewhere that it may boot correctly if you leave it turned on for 5/10 minutes... I've turned it on about 2/3 hours ago, but it's still blinking...

I just want to run ClockWorkMod and flash CyanogenMod again, but there is no keybinding to force it boot in recovery, like in my friend's XPERIA...

Is there a way to reboot it into download mode? I've tried both ADB and Fastboot on Ubuntu, but they don't recognise the phone.

Can the new Ubuntu's "phablet-tools" (the command-line tools you can use to flash Ubuntu Touch on a Nexus) flash a rom in my phone?

EDIT: But I'm checking the script I've previously used to root the phone (with the stock rom) and it remounts /system rw, then reboots the phone. It worked once, why did it brick the phone the second time?

#!/bin/bash
echo "Killing Adb server, if any"
adb kill-server
echo "Preparing to root"
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/*
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
adb shell /data/local/tmp/zergRush
echo "Root Done!"
echo "Sleeping for 10"
sleep 10
echo "Remounting as RW"
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb shell /data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
echo "Sending files"
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
adb push su /system/bin/
adb push busybox /system/xbin/
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
adb shell /system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin/
echo "Cleaning up"
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/*
echo "All done"
echo "Shutting down Phone"
adb shell reboot -p
echo "Done."
echo "Turn your device on and Enjoy!"

so..

actually you cannot use Kies to recover 'cause flashing the CWM Recovery you also change the filesystem of the recovery partition, so first you should install the Samsung Recovery to be able to do that..

anyway.. your chances are all in Odin!

First I can assure you that adb runs in Linux: I'm actually using it on Slackware 64 bit (with a little trick for statically link the libraries needed 'cause adb is only released as 32 bit binary) so I don't know what you are missing there..

anyway if

adb devices

doesn't output your device you should try on winZ, maybe there you could be lucky..

So, just remove battery for 2 minutes, vol - & central button & power to boot Download Mode; then connect the phone to win; start Odin and flash a .tar recovery (maybe you already have it, otherwise I'll link it from my Dropbox) and now your phone should boot the CWM Recovery.. at this point I don't know if you prefer to wipe wipe wipe, fix permission and try to boot your previous custom ROM (if still alive, maybe you flashed something new on it) or reflash my suggestion) a new CM-7 from scratch.. As I already said I personally thing that the Gingerbread Cyano is much more better that the Jellybean for the hardware we have..

Or you could just flash a stock ROM (download it from

sammobile.com

or

samfirmware.com

- there you can also find the November 2012 Android 2.2 TIM Italian version which I had in the phone when I bought it) directly from Odin.. just use the One package option as you are flashing a CWM..

If your phone is not seriously damaged you should be able to use it again as normal.. and I hope so!

Into my Dropbox folder you'll find the last recovery available from MadTeam, the file recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-galaxy5 - you should use that.. then if it stuck on boot and it doesn't work, also try the older version, the ClockworkMod-Galaxy5-v0.7 file..

A thing you also should keep in mind is that when you start a flashing process via Odin and for some reason it doesn't success and you need to start a new process by killing Odin and starting it again, the process you launched still remains active, don't know why.. so the only way I find to make it work again is reboot winZ.. :(

now.. the right version of Odin you should use is the 4.28, you can grab it here if you have a different version --> https://www.dropbox.com/s/ojlxcyglq8242jz/odin v4.28 and ops file.zip

CWM Recoveries --> https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4s7cwi213wj8sao/3Mo8-x_bzx

good luck! ;)

«Ritenta, sarai più fortunato»

I used Ubuntu's ADB (it's in the main repositories, android-tools-adb; there is fastboot too, android-tools-fastboot) to root the phone with the stock ROM, and it worked very well. I used it also to make this mess.

However I tried it on Windows, and, as I expected, it found no device, nor in download mode, nor in emergency download mode. Look at the screenshot: you can see my RDP client (Remmina) connected to the Windows box with the command prompt and ODIN running, and Ubuntu's terminal with ADB.

As you can see, only ODIN recognises the phone:

uppix.net/0/2/b/84fbfbc0f4a055b0270eeac8675ce.png

When I try to flash a ROM, it stops at:

Download Start...
<0> Create File...
<1> StartThread Detected : 1
<2> StartThread Detected : 0
<3> StartThread Detected : 0
<4> StartThread Detected : 0
<5> StartThread Detected : 0
<6> StartThread Detected : 0
<7> StartThread Detected : 0
<8> StartThread Detected : 0
<1> setup connection...
<1> odin mode.. check plcatform verification.

There is anything I can do besides sending it to a Samsung center?

Do you think they would repair it for free? (I have about a year of warranty left)

Do you think the phone is now a technologic paperweight or it is still a phone?

Thanks for your help ;)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] brainvision:
allora, ti rispondo in italiano che ci capiamo meglio ed ovviamente mi riesce più facile..

io non userei una virtual machine per sbloccare questa situazione! Anche io l'ho usata in precedenza ma ho visto che in alcuni casi mi ha dato problemi.. problemi semplici, tipo che appunto non mi riconosceva il telefono..

se proprio non riesci ad accedere ad un PC con winzozz almeno prova ad usare una porta USB diversa da quella che hai usato fino ad ora.. se nemmeno questo riesce disinstalla Kies (immagino che utilizzi i suoi driver, giusto?) ed installa i driver USB Samsung --> https://www.dropbox.com/s/zsvs4lezfgx4dma/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1_3_2300_0.zip

come ti ho detto in precedenza, ogni volta che un processo di flash con Odin fallisce sarebbe meglio riavviare la macchina o almeno cambiare porta USB (questa ancora non me la spiego ma ho visto che a me funzionava solo facendo così).

non credo che il telefono sia brickato, assolutamente.. ma usa winZ, non una virtual machine e cambia i driver e la porta USB.. Recovery se non ce l'hai te l'ho linata ieri, il procedimento è sempre lo stesso: Download mode (DLoad non serve a niente in questo caso, serve ad altro) --> Odin --> flash CWM ---> wipe wipe & wipe --> flash ROM da CWM

O se vuoi mettere una stock flash direttamente da Odin..

dai che ce la puoi fare, tranquillo..!! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Depau:
Non stavo usando una macchina virtuale...

Non ho voluto scrivere in italiano (anche se avevo capito che anche tu eri italiano) perché la discussione potrebbe essere stata utile anche a altre persone...

Non ho usato una macchina virtuale, non mi incasino la vita per cavolate... Ho un computer fisso con Windows la cui tastiera funziona male, e per questo motivo l'ho impostato in modo da poterlo usare in remoto. Attacco il telefono al PC fisso ma faccio tutto dal portatile attraverso il client RDP Remmina, che anche tu su Slackware dovresti avere.

Ho riavviato parecchie volte, e ho lasciato il telefono una notte intera senza la batteria, ma ancora non funziona, e ODIN si blocca lì dove ti ho detto prima. Non so cosa fare... non funziona mai. Eppure le prime volte che avevo provato iniziava a flashare, anche se comunque si bloccava sempre, perché a un certo punto riavviava il telefono, che ricominciava di nuovo a lampeggiare "SAMSUNG", mentre Odin faceva finta di continuare a flashare finché non mi usciva "PASS".

Ora non fa neanche quello. Però mi viene in mente una domanda: se ODIN è in grado di riavviare il telefono dalla download mode, perché non posso farlo anche io e magari imporgli di riavviarsi in recovery?

E, per curiosità, a cosa serve l'Emergency DLoad mode?

============================================

For English users:

I didn't use a virtual machine to flash the roms, I used a desktop PC remotely controlled through RDP.

I rebooted this PC a lot of times and left the phone for an entire night without battery, but when I run ODIN it stops at the same message.

It is strange because it quite worked twice or three times, thought it didn't do its work very well, 'cause it rebooted the phone and it started blinking again.

But I have a question: if ODIN can reboot the phone while it is in download mode, why cannot I reboot it and maybe force it boot into ClockWorkMod?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] brainvision:
allora, come detto, disinstalla tutti i driver e reinstallali, lascia perdere Kies ed usa quelli che ti ho linkato. Prima - giusto per sicurezza - usa un'altra porta USB ed assicurati che i driver vengano "installati", se non lo fa è la dimostrazione che il problema è li..

ho provato a cercare l'ultima stringa dell'errore che hai su Google ed ho trovato un sacco di risultati, ma la soluzione è sempre la stessa..

la dload mode non si sa a cosa serva, ad oggi, ma probabile che sia collegata all'uso del JTag, ma non ne sono certo. Ed infine no, non esiste combo per andare direttamente in recovery! :(
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Depau:
I driver sono a posto

I driver li ho installati senza kies, kies l'ho installato dopo per vedere se permetteva almeno lui il ripristino. Non funziona nemmeno in un altro PC senza kies. Non sono così sprovveduto, ho fatto molte prove...
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] brainvision:
mah.. strano..

comunque io ti dico che solo un mesetto fa, appena avevo comprato il Nexus volevo tornare alla cm7 dopo aver usato a lungo la cm10.. con un tablet disponibile preferivo avere sul telefono una ROM più stabile e reattiva; andando a flashare ad un certo punto il telefono è andato in bootloop!, e per quante prove facessi Odin restava bloccato alla fase cfs download.. Avrò provato miliardi di volte, a distanza di uno due tre giorni, lasciando la batteria fuori dal cell per notti intere.. alla fine all'improvviso si è ripreso e mi ha fatto flashare la rom senza problemi.. boh!!!

comunque non è che volessi dire che sei sprovveduto, figurati, è per suggerirti tutto quello che so!! a 'sto punto non posso fare altro.. come ultima spiaggia esiste ovviamente l'assistenza (che però se si accorgono che hai messo altre ROM ti fanno pagare; non sarebbe un problema perché tu gli dici di avvisarti prima di iniziare la riparazione loro ti dicono quanto costerebbe, nel caso, aggiustarlo.. a quel punto poi decidi) oppure il JTag, altro oggetto misterioso di cui so solo che permette di flashare da zero la scheda madre..!
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Depau:
Ci proverò ;)

Se ci sei riuscito tu, allora ci devo riuscire anch'io: a te si bloccava prima o dopo il punto in cui si blocca a me?

In ogni caso non pensavo che tu mi pensassi sprovveduto ;)

Comunque mi informerò sul JTag, ho un adattatore seriale USB, l'avevo usato per modificare la TV per farle avviare un .sh dalla USB, magari funziona anche col telefono :D

Grazie ;)

Provo a darlo a un'altra persona

Allora c'è qualche altro problema... Oggi devo provare a darlo a un mio amico che ha flashato molti telefoni, e anche lui usa Linux (Linux Mint però...)

Ti ringrazio per il tuo aiuto ;)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danyw:
Hi folks,

I am currently running MIUI-XJ D2EXT X-PART 1.9.23 ROM but having problems finding a couple of apps in the Android Market app on the phone. I could find them on market.android.com, and on Android Market apps in other ROMs, including MIUI-AU ROM. Two of such apps are: TradeDroid Pro, and Quick Quake Viewer. I live in Christchurch, New Zealand, a city still rocked regularly by aftershocks, hence the latter app :) I was told:

I am not knowledgable enough to know what exactly is different, what I should grab, and how to install them. Perhaps if someone can give me a hint and point me in the right direction I can look into it further. Pointing me to where the stuff is would be even more helpful :)

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Dany.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
If the Dev had changed the market app then it might be wise to install a vanilla market, ie the link in my description. Although if it had been changed then it could mean that the changed market only works on that ROM. Alternatively you could get an app called market enabler to help you out a bit. Can't you install apps from the website? Would be advisable to backup the current market app that you have.

And yes, wrong section. Please move mods, ooh wait, it will take a week fire that to happen.

Punched in..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danyw:
Well, it seems I have posted in the wrong forum twice! Unbelievable...

I already tried Market Enabler but that didn't help. My problem is not installing apps from the market, but finding them there in the first place. The two examples I mentioned in my original post cannot be located under the MIUI-XJ ROM, but I can find them everywhere else, i.e. under MIUI-AU, other Sense ROMs, and the android.market.com. I haven't tried AOSP ROMs so far, or CM one.

I have been told that MIUI-AU ROM uses a different Market from MIUI-XJ. I am trying to ascertain what bits are exactly different, and where I can get the one used by MIUI-AU or other Sense ROMs.

I will try the one in your sig and see how that goes. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danyw:
Ok, I have copied the Market_3.1.5.apk file from your sig link to my sdcard, and installed it from there. Unfortunately it didn't help though - I still couldn't find the apps I mentioned earlier.

Am I correct in assuming the Market app is called Vending.apk in the /system/app folder? If so, can I just grab the one from MIUI-AU and copy it over the one I have in MIUI-XJ?

Cheers,

D.

I am interesting to buy a 10.1 tab.

Can anyone explain me differences between GT-P7100, GT-P7500 and GT-P7510 and some other models with v1 , v0,1

The advantages and disadvantages of its model?

Thanks in advance

P7100 is GT10.1V. It is the older version, only sold by Vodafone. It is discontinued.

P7500 is the newer version GT10.1 with 3G and WIFI.

P7510 is the same, but WIFI only.
