[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Hereisphilly:
I could really do with some help on this - Kinda paniking cos i'm afraid!

I posted it in the thread on modaco too, so hopefully I can get some help

I am on a 16gb Wifi Euoropean Flyer that needs the RUU RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_Wifi_2.27.1114.31_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204727_signed

I have downloaded all the necessary things, checked all the MD5 sums etc etc.

I have successfully gotten to step 14, where i successfully unlocked the bootloader with the HTC dev tools.

Once the gui option came on screen to say whether i wanted to unlock the bootloader, i selected yes, and instantly the device rebooted, but stayed on the white HTC logo screen.

It stayed like this for about 5 mins, before i held the power button down, restarted and got back to the bootloader. (It says unlocked at the top in pink)

I ran the adb command to flash the updated recovery image, (fastboot flash recovery revolutionary-cwm-4.0.1.4-flyer.hboot0011.img), and it said 'sending' okay and 'writing'okay but once i selected to go to recovery, the decive just stayed on the white splash screen, and i think it is in a bootloop.

I can successfully get back to the bootloader every time, and it is displayed as fastboot USB in red (i can hear the sound as it is connected to my machine), but when i type adb devices, it says device cannot be found.

I can however relock and then subsequently unlock the bootloader using the HTC dev tools, but still get stuck at this point. (when relocked it does say *security warning* as well as locked)

Please please please can somebody help, this would be much appreciated.

(I'm not sure if it is possible to place a recovery image on the SD card and let the bootloader install it as it does the checks at the start?)

Thanks in advance
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
You can't communicate via adb in fastboot menu

Get back to fastboot

Try to flash recovery again

Fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery file"

Fastboot and adb are two different things

If it fails again, delete the recovery image and redownload and try again
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Hereisphilly:
I tired again, i unlocked the bootloader using HTC dev tools, starting through the process instead of using the same email file.

I think the problem is with the HTC dev unlock, cos when i press yes, it gets stuck on the HTC splash screen. (Just out of interest, what should happen when i select yes to unlock on the flyer?)

Flashed the re-downloaded recovery in fastboot (md5 sums match again), this is what was returned:

sending 'recovery' (4746 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.755s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 0.612s]

finished. total time: 1.367s

then selected 'bootloader' on the flyer, then 'recovery' and then it still get stucks on the white splash screen.

I double checked all the mb5 sums of all the files i have flashed in this process, and they are all good.

The flyer will not turn off, it just turns itself back on again and again. The only way to make it stay off is to lock the bootloader again

Any reccomendations?

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
I am not sure why the recovery is not flashing

You may want to OEM lock and revert back to gingerbread
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Hereisphilly:
thanks, to do that, do i just run fastboot oem lock?

then run the RUU?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
That should do it
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Hereisphilly:
Phew! That did it, back to GB for now. Thanks ever so much!

Do you recon it is worth my while to try again? I would like to try HC...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
I mean you were able to recover so you got that going for you. I am not sure what was causing your problem though.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Hereisphilly:
Yeah, but its a strange one isnt it?

I've just tried to S-OFF with revolutionary, and it reboots to the bootloader, and then stops, with the cmd window just saying, waiting for fastboot..... - it'll stay like this forever untill i turn the device off.

I remember i had this problem the first time i S-OFFed, but cant quite remembver how i fixed it - could this problem be somehow related to the HC install problem?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Maybe try another USB port or uninstall reinstall drivers
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] scotty1223:
how long did you give the htc screen? it may take a lil while for recovery to start. id maybe give it as long as 5 minutes just to make 100% sure its really stuck.

if you wrote the recovery with the unlocked bootloader,im not sure why it wouldnt have worked,other than a bad imagea not compatible image,or possibly a simple fail to start. ive had this happen with TWRP recovery on other devices,and occasionally with clockwork-when booting to recovery it just sticks at the htc screen.

go for it again. assuming youre using all the correct,newest,and matching files,theres no reason it shouldnt work.

if you have the same trouble next time, while the on the white htc screen,when trying to get to recovery,try typing "adb devices" in your command window. if you get your serial number back, try "adb reboot recovery" and see if it starts that time.

the bootloop after unlocking the HC hboot is because that hboot and boot images are not compatible with the GB /system that is still currently on the phone. i was able to "adb reboot bootloader" during the bootloop rather than holding the power button to get back to fastboot so i could flash the recovery.

the *security warning* when you relocked it is becuase the hboot is confused about the firmware that doesnt match it.

hope that helps :) IMO its worth trying again- honeycomb makes the tablet alot nicer(for me anyway) than gingerbread.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Hereisphilly:
Yeah I left it for at least 10 minutes, and no activity at all, other than the splash screen.

I might give it a go again, I'll report back as to how it goes!

If you are replacing the motherboard, you are replacing the phone completely. as the chip on the damaged motherboard contains the imei and other information about your phone.

Anew mother board will have a different imei and have to be registered with your provider as it is basically a new phone.

I've looked at the other threads on this but, none seem to match my problem.

I've a 16 GB MicroSD card in my S2. S2 is not-rooted running stock ROM.

This card used to mount ok. It no longer will.

In Settings->Storage, space reported is unavailable (because it's not mounted).

I can run Format SD Card option which returns quickly.

Running Mount SD Card, it's says Mount in Progress but it never completes.

If I put the card into an SD card reader, it looks fine. FAT32 formatted card, with approx 16GB available.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
I had similar problems with two other sd cards.

First running without any problem, and then suddenly the message appeared that the sd card is empty or not connected.

In both cases, the sd card was broken.

But in my cases, the sd card could not be used in a USB adapter by PC either.

As the sd cards were nearly new, I could make a warranty replacement and now I have got a card which works fine for about two months.

You can check this, by switching the sd card into another phone.

And use another sd card in your phone.

If the other card will work in your phone and your sd card will have issues in the other phone too, replace the broken sd card.

Good luck !

P.S.:

You should format the sd card with your phone and not by your PC.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeteW:
Other MicroSD Card works

Thanks for the response. I should have said that another 4GB card worked in the phone ok. This did lead me to think it was a card problem. However, he fact it works via a PC indicates otherwise.

Will try it in another phone.

Try this. Settings>Application>Development

Check usb debugging.

Connect phone to pc. In notification bar click "usb connected" message, and click on "connect usb storage" button. You won't see the sd card mounted in pc!

Now disconnect phone, reboot. It might mount

See if there's any luck.

Since you're not rooted, solutions are quite limited in numbers

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyteacosy:
Hi There,

I purchased my SGS2 outright from O2 UK and I'm on a pay monthly SIM-only plan with O2. The phone came loaded with the stock O2 UK firmware and whenever I connected it to Kies it would recognize the firmware and say that the current firmware is up to date, which was fine. Since then I have played around with rooting my phone, installing different mods and installing newer stock samsung firmwares to try out Android version 2.3.4. etc.

After all this playing around I wanted to be sure that I could get my phone back to the standard O2 UK branded configuration in case I ever needed to send it in under warranty for repair. I hunted around on the internet and found a website with a link to a copy of the official O2 UK branded firmware which was a tarball called: I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100O2UKD1_HOME.TAR. Using odin I flashed my phone with this firmware and now my phone starts up with the O2 logo and everything seems back to normal, except when I connect it to Kies. I know for a fact that the O2 firmware I'm now on has been superseded by newer releases from O2, but when I connect to Kies, it says:

"Your device does not support software upgrading via kies. Current firmware version: I9100XWKDD/I9100O2UKD1/I9100XXKDH/I9100XWKDD"

I'm guessing that there is something else on my phone that I need to install/flash/change for Kies to start recognizing it as "Official". Does anyone know what this might be? What is it that Kies looks for on your phone to work out if it supports upgrading it or not? I am running the latest version of Kies.

I have attached a screenshot from my kies to show you what I'm talking about and a screenshot from my phone to show you software/firmware versions it is running.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
I have got two recommendations for you:

1. Have a look at http://fus.nanzen.se/ to get Check Fus Downloader and check what the latest official firmware for your phone and region is.

2. Got to Intratech's Carrier Branded Firmware thread here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 to get the carrier branded firmware you want/need to flash using Odin.

If you do not need a carrier branded firmware (Kies does not need a branded ROM on your phone), you can also check Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 to get the latest official and un-branded firmware flashable via Odin.

See second post of his thread.

If you flash a stock ROM for your region, KIES should recognize it again.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyteacosy:
You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much for your recommendations. I downloaded Check Fus Downloader which I was then able to use to download the latest O2 UK firmware, which, as it turns out, was only released yesterday and uses android 2.3.5. I then used odin to flash the new firmware and now when I connect to Kies it says I have the latest firmware installed.

Happy Days!! and Thanks again!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabavnk:
I have the same issue, when i upgraded the Stock firmware. When connect to Kies, message popup is "Your device does not support software upgrading via kies. Current firmware version: ...XXKH2"

I have reset to factory format my SG2 9100 (watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzDb6m7sQ7A&feature=related). After that when i connect it showing current and latest firmware..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nevrozel:
I did exactly the same as the OP. I just flashed back to the latest carrier firmware and Kies still does not recognize it but I don't really care.

My question is: if I send it to warranty, is there any way they can see I have previously installed other official firmwares from Intratech's thread? I have never rooted it, only installed official firmwares.

Thanks.

I'd like to give this a test drive, anyone able to post up the latest social hub apk?

Seems it's not in the market now, and I'd frozen it when it first launched as I don't use facebook and other (anti)social stuff, but it might be worthwhile now I'm sync'ing work email so that I can use one app to handle work and personal email. I like how the default mail app does pinch-zoom which gmail lacks, so if social hub will do that and handle gmail the same way I'd be happy. After freezing it and then updating firmware the apk's seem to have gone so cannot re-install :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] programatix:
Social Hub will use the stock email app for emails, so you can pretty set up your account there.

I'm not using it anymore since it consumes a lot of memory. Also, occasionally the account for Windows Live would suddenly stop working with no way to retrieve mails. Furthermore the extra things that it can do for emails can be configured in the stock email without it. Example, to use Hotmail, configure the server to m.hotmail.com as Exchange account. For Yahoo, configure it as imap. You get push service for both.

For social apps, since I'm using Facebook official app, I don't see why I need to set it up using Social Hub. Well the thing I hate the most is that I can't choose the default tab when I start it up.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] aengus4h:
thanks for the info, I was hoping to just have one app in the quick launch area for exchange/gmail/IM but maybe sticking with stock apps is a better bet then. Might look at moving the gmail accounts into this and dropping the gmail app instead.

I would like to try Honeycomb on my Flyer and wonder what the best fitting "current" RUU - mentioned in different Threads here and over at MoDaCo - for my device would be.

I have Flyer wifi&3G from o2 Germany which was 1.40.207.5 with HBOOT 1.07. Did the OTA to 2.27.207.1 and then S-off with Revolutionary.

Now LeeDrOiDs 2.2.0 custom rom with HBOOT 6.10.1002 and ROM 2.23.405.4

Is RUU_Flyer_O2_DE_1.40.207.5_Radio_20.35.30.089BU_38 09.04.04.21_M_release the right one? (apart from beeing the only RUU for this specific device)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Looks to be correct

If you want to test ruu make sure it runs, just attempt running the exe. If it works you will be back to stock with s off still. You may have to flash clockwork recovery manually there after before starting the instructions to instal honeycomb
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
If you took the OTA, then you'll need to follow the instructions related to misc_version from my HC downgrade thread before you'll be able to run the RUU becasue your main version will be greater then the RUU.
