Help out...Samsung galaxy can't boot

Hello Guys,

I am not sure whether I am putting right question in the right place or not? I hope you guys don't mind and apologize me as my mind not working due to my foolish act trying to fly even without wings.....:confused:

Here is the story

I got my galaxy s2 I9100 a week ago. I tried to go for root. for this I did it using Odin v1.85. My firmware KH5 as its not available here I tried a related one say KH4. I followed all instructions carefully. Successfully brought in download mode. selected the download mode. connected with odin and browse the PDA .tar file. my mobile was recognized by yellow indicating and I starting. It showed the process running and also showed yellow bar turning in green saying "Pass". But soon mobile stucked at boot page and a yellow triangle appeared. Now I realized I made something wrong in eager of rooting. I tried other .tar files like KH1, KH3 and even KF- etc. But same problem. I tried to solve it by bringing recovery mode but It can't go to recover mode even. Now I can only go to download mode can try flashing via odin but can't get my mobile ahead of boot logo. Please helppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
@ habeebrasheed,

Flash stock firmware from Intratech thread via Odin with phone in download mode.

Then you will have a working phone and can start fresh.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] habeebrasheed:
Thanks anyway

@UpInTheAir

Thank you for the suggestion

I have submitted it as the warranty still void ... lets see if they do it or reject straigh forward. Thank you. I will sure keep in mind your solution,

Thankssssssssssssssssssss

Does anyone know when Galaxy S II AT&T kernels may be available for 1.5-2.0ghz goodness and/or custom roms that are faster than the stock?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Doug8796:
LOL they released the source and CM7 works supposedly but it is unusable compared to stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bkeaver:
yeah and until someone has a break through moment I am waiting on rooting mine cause I see no benefit yet... I am usually the one who roots mine the first hour I have my phone...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bkeaver:
I'm personally not as worried about oc as much as efficiency and uv. I agree it runs just fine at 1.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
We already have a kernel with power management fixes (such as codeworkx's cpuidle fix). UV coming soon.

OC not planned from me but designgears plans on doing that and I'll maintain that code as a branch in my repo to try and minimize fragmentation.

You will never see 2.0 GHz OC. Just like the previous single-core Hummingbirds, the highest system bus clock divider is 8. Since the system bus is limited to 200 MHz and does NOT like being overclocked (even going to 205 can cause major stability issues), this means core speed is limited ot 1.6 GHz.

As to when custom kernels are available - jeez, didn't you even bother to do ANY research and reading before you posted?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
Actually cm7 is working pretty flawless. Some people had issues while others didn't with calls and the sound, BUT that was fixed with today's nightly update from Atinm. Plus it does run super smooth (smoother at 1.6Ghz than the stock Samsung and the same if not better at the 1.2 clock speeds). Also it will be available on Rom Manager on the next nightly it looks like.

No, you can overclock your SGS2 international with tegrak to 2.0GHz.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
He claims 2.0 GHz with zero evidence to support it.

Considering that we still have the same core clock divisor limits as the S5PC110 and S5PV210, I find his claims difficult to believe.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flapflip22:
Okay, so I've looked everywhere and cant find my answer anywhere. I want to install a custom ROM (specifically royalginger 2.0) and don't have a data plan. The guy I got it from activated it with his SIM and then I just put mine in and it worked. I don't mind rooting.

I'm stuck on android 2.2.1 and want 2.3.4 with the new version of HTC sense (arching buttons on bottom, cube like app menu) and I only have a 2gb SD card which I'm willing to wipe. My question is, if I install the custom ROM, will I need to activate the phone again? I have no data plan so I can't do this. Or does the custom ROM have the option to activate over WiFi?

Also, what are my chances of pricking it?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emmanuel U:
Then You cant use Aosp roms

The aosp roms (plain Google roms like royalginger or cyanogenmod) dont support WiFi support.

Your going to have to use the newer sense roms which have an option for using WiFi to activate..... I prefer TDJ RCMix3D Runny v1.5.0 MT4G:: [SENSE 3.5]

Virtuous Unity 2.39 is the best. Smooth response, awesome UI....Go for it....:)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
AOSP ROMs such as Cyanogen(mod) do Support Logging into your Google account over Wi-Fi. Why do you think CM is so popular on the Nook color? and it has no HSPA(+),EVDO, Wi-Max or LTE Support. In fact, i just tethered my Nook to my Glacier to activate my account on it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flapflip22:
So if I do the virtuous unity, I can do the activation again without a data plan? Also, can it be done with only a 2gb SD card?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
The Os will be written to the emmc and pulled off of the sdcard so yes?

And yes you can sign into your account via wifi and use that strictly. Just make sure to remove the apns and turn off auto sync and data to keep it from connecting to the servers of the cell phone provider

And can anyone link me to where I can learn how to root my4g? I heard that its one of the harder phones and I really can't risk bricking it
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flapflip22:
Okay, It got a little sketchy and I used gfree for s=off and then got perm root from visionary.

Umm, so the Rom I decided on was virtuous unity 2.37.0 because from what I read thr latest was too buggy and kept crashing

Good choice?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] febycv:
Virtuous Unity 2.39 is not so buggy. But i suggest you to go with the virtuous unity 2.37

You can update to the latest version in future.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flapflip22:
Phone is rooted, and I have s=off.

Can someone give me pointers on putting the Rom on my phone? Or link me?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] febycv:
You should have a Permanent root, Latest Rom Manager & ClockworkMod Recovery Installed. I also recommend you to update your BusyBox.

Click to download Virtuous Unity 2.37 or Virtuous Unity 2.39 Rom.

Procedure

1. Download the Virtuous Unity Rom.

2. Do a Nandroid backup.

3. Make a Full Wipe (data & dalvik).

4. Reboot to Recovery & Flash the Rom.

Now reboot & enjoy the new Rom......
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flapflip22:
I have a problem, my bootloader says

00.85.2007? My understanding is that its supposed to be 00.85.000? Or is this nothing?

Also, in clockworkmod recovery, whenever I clock something, it just has a thing with an arrow that goes around it. I left it running for 7 hours and it still was doing it so I pulled the battery.

Anyone help? The phones on and running again
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] febycv:
The original bootloader is 0.86.0000

The Rom you used to update might be something different....
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flapflip22:
Haven't installed the Rom yet, this is after root. I ended up having to use the gfree method to get s=off and VISIONary+ r14 to get permanent root.

And yeah, I know its 00.86.0000, wrong button

But it says my hboot is 00.85.2007

When I did the gfree, looking at directions from another site it said to use the command "./gfree" as the last command which I did, but another site says its "./gfree -f"??

Can I still flash the new ROM with the 00.85.2007 bootloader? I DO have root, and I DO have s=off

Edit: I'm also currently still on 2.2.1, no OTA update and this ROM looks awesome
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] febycv:
Have you flashed the CWM recovery?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flapflip22:
Yes I did =]
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] febycv:
So you can now reboot into CWM recovery & flash a custom rom.

Always remember to do a Full wipe & Nandroid Backup before flashing.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flapflip22:
Excuse me if I'm going in circles, just for verification:

Even with the 00.85.2007 bootloader I can flash the virtuous unity 2.37.00 ROM?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] febycv:
Iam guessing you have 00.85.2007 ENG bootloader and ENG S-OFF

If this is the case, you can flash any rom via CWM recovery.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flapflip22:
You would be correct =] Thank you very much, ill come back when I'm done
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flapflip22:

That's cool......you did a great job.....i am happy for you.......

Enjoy the new features of sense 3.0 with virtuous unity.

One more thing, check your eMMC, if it is bad, be cautious before flashing, or else your phone will be bricked.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I have the bad eMMC and I've been flashing away like a maniac. Lol

I'm hoping that if i do eff up my phone to the point where it just won't turn on that maybe i can take it to this t-mo store within walking distance from my campus and get a better phone.

It bothers me that in the back of my mind, i know i have a broken phone. : /

I installed 3.0.3 and now am stuck at login screen. I can't create a new account or log into my old one. I was reading something about impostah but not sure how to get started on that. On phone with hp trying to get them to reset my profile now. Is there any way to doctor back to 3.0.2 while at logon screen, like a bios type of thing for the pc to pick it up?

UPDATE: Fixed login issue, This is not a guide to installing webOS 3.0.3 but if you have a login issue with your touchpad.

When I first tried to update it was giving me errors at login. I could not log in to my old account or create a new one so I used Dev tools from palm dev website and bypassed activation. I uploaded a quick youtube vid explaining this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmcwnyjSZ5s

1. Download webOS 3.0.3 and install using past posts you can find this

2. Download http://onebluepoint.net/chekz-devicetool.zip and install using the usb mode I was talking about in the video, then follow these instructions. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1229254 in the 2nd section.

3. Then just install preware

4. Lastly, install impostah through preware. Once installed you can just open the app>click activate>type in login info.

Hopefully this works for you, I have my market, and all login credentials working correctly.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THANKS TO cool6324 for additional info:

I was unable to login as well. Two things need to be done.

1. Make sure you verified the account in the email HP sends you when you first register.

2. After you've installed Impostah and followed http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touc...ctivation.html

Open Impostah and change the "Device Profile Location Host" to the default ps.palmws.com.

It should work.

[TouchPad General] icecreammm:
To doctor back to 3.0.2:

Turn of you Touchpad

Hold the "volume up" button and turn Touchpad on, when USB sign appear let the "Volume up" button go.

Now you can doctor it to 3.0.2
[TouchPad General] Nburnes:
This. HP also isn't going to help you with unreleased software.
[TouchPad General] soneracar:
true for the most part. what I have been reading is it give you the dane problem as if you were a demo unit so i was hoping i could get the to unlock it with 3.0.3.
[TouchPad General] soneracar:
GOT it all working

I ended up using the volume up trick and used devtools jar to get past activation and then downloaded preware to install impostah. Now I am 3.0.3 and my account fully working.

THIS IS 10X FASTER!!!!!!!!! I can't wait till I overclock and delogger this thing.
[TouchPad General] deeman:
Can you inbox me how you did this please
[TouchPad General] jwort93:
I got past the activation, but no matter what I did, I could not get my account to log in? What exactly did you do?

[TouchPad General] Turkishflavor:
does it have adhoc support in the 3.0.3/3.0.4 update?
[TouchPad General] Redflea:
I installed 3.0.3.

Before doing that I completed a backup using the Backup program in Settings.

I'm connected to my webOS account via the workarounds posted.

How do I go about getting data/apps restored? Like email/FB accounts/settings, browser bookmarks, apps I had installed from the app market, etc. I know I can go into the app market and install them again one at a time (and the ones I had paid for are free know, so it knows I bought them) but I'm hoping there is an automated process as on Android where apps/settings are restored automatically.

Thanks,

and for the themes most of them say EC05... and idk if it will work on my phone,

i have no idea what im talking about so i thought id come here to ask.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzn:
Hello all, I've got a rather complicated problem I was hoping that someone here would be able to help me with, before I have to resort to getting a replacement phone.

I while back my Hero stopped working after some water damages. I managed to fixed the thing by cleaning it with rubbing alcohol, it turned on and everything, but the brightness setting would cause the screen to flickers out of control, or just go off altogether, until I decrease the brightness to the lowest setting.

Ok, this still works out for me, unfortunately due to some carelessness, I broke the connector on the screen. Of course, the next best thing to do was to buy another screen from ebay. I was hoping that somehow that this would fix the brightness issue as well, but of course it didn't. The phone boots and runs just fine once I lower the brightness all the way, except for one problem: I get no bootscreen.

When turning on the phone, I can feel it turn on because it buzzes once, but I will see nothing on the screen until it gets to the lockscreen. I assume that this has something to do with the sensor keeping the screen off because the system hasn't boot completely to get the brightness setting down? Anyways, I was happy with it able to boot, so I went on to do my normal rooting thing. Everything went fine except I get no data connection after rooting Cyanogen/AOSP, so I used ROM Manager to install the OTA update, and after the phone restarted, it never comes back on again...

I have a feeling that it's giving me some sort of error, I just can't see it because I don't get to see the boot process. I can't boot into recovery either because I can't see that screen either. My only guess is that the light sensor has something to do with this.

Does anyone have any idea how I can go about to fix it if this is at all possible? Is there any way I can revert it back to factory without having the need to see the recovery screen? Or maybe if someone has an idea on how I can do this blind...

I know, crazy problem, but I'm really stuck here, and looks like I won't have a phone for the next few days...

I appreciate any help in advance.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vidaljs:
Ouch.... it is alot!

So I hope ur due very soon for a new phone... sometimes u can see old heros for $30 or $40.... but until then...

I think ur best bet is the RUU via usb from HTC since u can't see certain screens and with this method it's just plug and wait Cuz ur computer will tell when it's finished.

The RUU zip file requires that u can load into hboot screen so unless u can, then that's no good.

Good luck
