[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Kishel Raj:
The probelm began before I even considered flashing my firmware. The sd card will be unexpectedly removed causing forced closes. Did a factory reset using the privacy menu quite a number of times for a few weeks. It helped for a while but the problem will always reocurred though. Then suddenly, factory resets stopped working alltogether. The phone will delete new apps i install every time i reinstall them and reinstall apps which i uninstall every time i restart the phone.

I thought flashing the firmware will fix the problem. But even after flashing the old apps and settings keep coming back.

Here are the steps I used to flash.

1) Removed sim card and micro sd card.

2) Restarted phone in download mode.

3) Run odin and plugged phone in Usb port

4) Checked Repartition, Auto Reboot, and Reset Time boxes.

5) Downloaded pit files.

6) Waited for it to pass

7) Pressed reset

8) Took phone out from usb port, took out battery and turned on download mode.

9) Flashed PDA, PHONE, AND CSC files. By ticking Auto reboot and reset time checkboxes.

10)Clicked Start

11) Waited for pass and started again.

I even tried using the recovery mode to wipe everything but still had the same problem. Apps and settings still keep reocurring from the corrupted android 2.2

I have done everything and am hoping for a solution for this frustrating problem. THinking of reflashing to android 2.2 and sending my phone to samsung for warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
I think you have done everything correctly. Maybe it's a hardware problem because your sd card keeps unmounting. Have you dropped it? They best way is to send it to service center for repair.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Kishel Raj:
reflashing back to froyo

Hey guys thanks for your help. but the problem seems to be related to the hardware. I am reflashing my phone back to froyo and sending it to get the warranty. But after reflashing there seems to be another problem. I cant receive calls anymore. But i can make calls..

I need to know if samsung can find out if I have reflashed my phone because I am afraid that my warranty will be void. Is there anyone with experiece regarding samsung warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
play dumb, dont mention you flashed, tell them you tried to update with kies and since then the FW is acting up, you can't make calls anymore etc
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] faisman:
Interestingly... i have exactly the same problem. I have had this problem for abt 4 months now and i have tried everything (except sending it back to the repair centre). I don't think its a hardware problem but more of a bad flash somewhere in between.

i have been searching the net for ages for a solution... have yet to find any.

I'm new to this forum, but set aside, I'm really desperate finding solutions right now. So I'd really, really appreciate any helps from you guys.

I'd unlocked my boot loader. Then I flashed my arc to LT15i_4.0.A.2.368. It worked as perfect as usual. UNTIL this notification for upgrading software came. I didn't know that you must not upgrade if the boot loader is unlocked. So when the download had finished it started to installing. SUDDENLY my phone can't be turned on. Every time I tried to turn it on, the only thing working is the green LED which keep flashing on and on. And whenever I tried to connect it with the cable data, no matter what button or no button I held, the green LED is still the only thing flashing. I'd already flashing to LT15i_3.0.A.2.184 then LT15i_3.0.A.2.18. But the result still the same.

I don't know what should I do. I mean, I just bought my arc like 2 days ago, and now it's got broken.:( What should I do, now my warranty from SE has gone since the boot loader is unlocked?

So,how can i fix it?

thank you so much!!!!!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
I'm pretty sure it's because the latest update is only an update and needs to be built off of the full ROM that was released on 9.30 if I'm not mistaken. You will need to do a full wipe to the latest full ROM and then flash the 10.05 update.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] kenny_kin:
can't just apply the update?

If flash the full rom , the data will lose again, and need to setup the phone again, but I don't want to do that.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
You don't have much of a choice. The ROM is built off of 9.30,so you are missing key components of the phone's functionality.

Hi guys. I wanna know if there's a way to stop the eb production launcher from updating. Originally its like a blue stock android launcher. But with the update, it turns into the stock gingerbread launcher. I uninstall the updates, but it always keeps on updating itself. So is there a way to make it stop auto updating?

Hi everybody. I am really THIS close to unlock my bootloader, now that I have seen that Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 is out. I really want to try this rom, but don't know yet, if I want to unlock my bootloader, because of warranty and DRM.

Anyways! I was searchin the development thread, and saw the guide in the 2nd post, but I didn't really understand it. I am a virgin in flashing roms, and don't quite get why I would have to down- upgrade to another official firmware, before flashing CM? If anyone could please tell me why they unlocked their bootloader, and a great 'How-to guide' to install Cyanogenmod with everything functional. I am sorry if anything smilair already have been asked.

If you unlock your boot loader with SETool (Alejandrissimo or Jinx13) then DRM is unaffected.

Okay.. I read thw whole thing.. and it didn't help me that much. I know how to unlock the bootloader and so on, but I don't have a clue how to flash a rom. In a guide, it says I should do it in fastboot, and another one says I should do it in Recovery.

I know the following steps:

1. Unlock bootloader

2. flash boot.img - recovery ( I think?)

3. Install rom from recovery and gapps (or something)

Is something wrong here?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powell21:
I'm not really sure how this happened to my Tab, it was sudden, i was just watching a movie then the bottom half part of my screen flickered and then got worst the next day until it was totally messed up. i had it check with samsung tech and WITHOUT even opening the Tab to be diagnosed he just said by JUST looking that the half of my lcd cracked from the inside which is a total puzzle to me.

so what was the gorilla glass is for if by any chance it cannot protect the Tab? anyways, i just want to ask any experts out there if by any chance that my Tab's issue will be covered by my warranty since the LCD replacement costs almost 12 thousand pesos which is roughly $200 more or less.

here's a link of the videos for your reference :)

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuAngel:
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the Evo Shift doesn't have it as easy as a lot of other phones. I have NEVER had succesful root (temp or perm) on this phone using a "One Touch" solution like Visionary+, Ginger Break, or z4 Root.

Can anyone explain why that is? What did they do SO differently on this phone, that makes us the ones that have to jump through all of the hoops?

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuAngel:
Yeah. I don't know why people jumped to conclusions about me. I AM, in fact, on Gingerbread NOW - but even back on FroYo, it never worked for me. I got my phone from Best Buy 3 days before you could buy it at Sprint, I've had a SHIFT since the MINUTE I could have a Shift.

I know you need to be in airplane mode, etc, etc, etc... but I've NEVER achieved even a temp root - it just sat there and saying it was trying, and that it might take a few minutes, for 45+ minutes, once, until I power cycle the phone.

And even the gingerbread "perm root" guide says to temp root with Visonary or z4 first. I've never been able to do that. Was just wondering if anyone knew why?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VICODAN:
I don't know anything about an airplane mode trick, read the wiki and the stickies in the general forum for root instructions.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strapped365:
Scratches head and wonders how you even got root seems how one of the instructions to perm root your phone was to put it into airplane mode after you checked the hboot and before temp rooting a second time and then perm rooting, but

Ahh. It's been so long. I rooted back in April or May with the help of some people in the irc channel.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notsointeresting:
to try to answer your question lol.

Its basically a pain in the ass. Im right there with you.

my reasoning is its because that companys lock their low-end devices the same way for each device because they don't care to much about them and those low-end phones are the main selling point of the company their locked the sameway they therefore have a very easy known,developed method to rooting and nand unlocking

For high-end POPULAR (key word in CAPS) devices tend to have all the attention and developer focus on them so they get more worked in, focused methods to provide an easier user expierence.

The shift is niether popular or low-end so we don't get much focus from devs (compared to others) and we do have a high end device so HTC took the time to lock our phone up good

I went through the same thing

My BEST advice (which many know is not very good):D

Is first (yes put in airplane mode)

Run the temp root and perm root with VISONary i have always had problems with z4

Now run the temp root, if it fails to work and doesnt reboot thats fine

now reboot manually

and try it again

and keep rebooting and trying

I eventually got it to take lol

Hi to all this morning,

I spoke to the local AT&T manager about my phone. The lock screen numbers and letters are "burned" on to my screen. Every time I go to a "light backround, I can see the month, time and "phone locked". The manager told me to call AT&T service. I called the 800 number and was told I have to do a "hard reset" on my phone for the warranty procedure. I have an "unlocked", "rooted" phone. Will a hard reset unroot and lock my phone?

Do I have to "unroot" and "lock" my phone before calling them back?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Jim
