Same thing happened to me. Just have Odin open and ready to go, plug phone into DL mode just like normal, when the screen pops up give Odin a second or two and then you should see the com light up yellow as Odin recognise your device. Start the flash and let Odin do it's thing and it will reboot and all will be fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mickeycobra04:
i can get into download mode by plugging usb while holding the vol up/vol down. but when it asks me to press vol up, it takes me to the same screen with "phone-!-PC".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mickeycobra04:
Ok, just tried this method, when i get into download mode i click vol up and continues to the screen im stuck on. :confused: odin still didnt recognize my phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darocsfinest1:
me 2

im having the same issue with my phone. i googled around it saw ppl with the same issue, but when ppl fix their problem they didnt say how. i left a post on 3 of the threads (including 1 not on xda) but i havent received a response. i tried the hold the buttons method, the delete kies method, the just let odin flash a rom over but when odin gets to "cashe" it fails everytime. i hope i can find a fix, cuz ppl are having this problem and fixing there phone pretty quickly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kdog808:
did u reinstall the drivers just asking
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darocsfinest1:
yeah, i re-installed the samsung kies drivers and deleted running apps in task manager. i also re-installed phone drivers to my cpu. and i re-installed odin to the cpu and restarted the cpu after each method. nothing worked!!! i also tried holding the vol+home+power button, but the error message just pops up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Trevnerdio:
Yeah my phone is soft bricked I really need to get into download mode without this annoying message :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darocsfinest1:
Try the second link in the second post. It worked for me. The post with the headline Odin Mode
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joselarajan87:
if your screen has a pc and a warning symbol you still can odin,

open oding and conect your phone to pc while that screen you are saying pops up then see if odin recognizes..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Trevnerdio:
I already did that plus everything else possible :\
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mickeycobra04:
have you tried reinstalling kies, try it thats what i did. i was in the same screen, it was never read by odin until i did exactly that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Trevnerdio:
My device is read by Odin and it flashes things. Once I flash a working rom though, it bootloops and I have no recovery to wipe data. I've never been able to get the repartition function to work

And the error I keep receiving every time almost is an error about line 1876. I have no idea what this is. I Googled it and I can't find it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] w00ht:
FWIW My phone would not go into download mode to save my life. I then decided to try the OE Samsung cable instead of the motorola cable I had been using and it worked right away.

Troubleshooting 101, start with the basics.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6lock:
So I have the same problem as the OP. The only screen I boot to is mobile ! PC in Odin mode. This happened after I was rooted with my stock rom and CWM, but tried to do the OTA update from Kies.

My device is recognized by Odin utility, so I tried what the 2nd poster put and used Odin to flash the stock kernel (UVKID tar) from the PDA button and it failed. I used the default settings in Odin, but maybe I didn't set one right? I have attached a screen shot.

So now do I use Odin to flash the stock recovery? I'm working on making a USB jig in case that will help.

UPDATE: I was able to use Odin to flash the Stock Recovery. Now it boots up like normal. I would like to try the OTA update through Kies again, but I'm worried. Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ajster1989:
Kies Firmware Emergency Recovery

OK the somewhat hidden Firmware Recovery built into Kies is not to hard to find,

First you will need to write on a piece of paper your S/N and your Model #, the same way it is written under the battery on the sticker.

Second boot your phone into download mode and connect it to the computer.

Third open Kies, select the tools drop down menu.

Now you have a choice. Select Firmware Emergency Recovery to recover your current firmware version... or select Firmware Upgrade and Initialization to install the latest OTA, either way just fallow the steps on screen and when done your will have a working phone.

hit the thanks button if this helped :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mickeycobra04:
Bro you should check the dates out xD thx anyway though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
Haha, necromancer. You don't need to do any of that crap anyway, it's still in download mode. Just run Odin again.

Hi Guys.i have got a ibeats headphone from inside the htc sensation xe.But it doesnt work with arc s.When I connected the headset phone give error.it say unsupported device.what can i do about this issue?

Sorry for my english.Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsingh612:
Any kind of headphones with a Talk Controller or microphone will not work with Sony Ericsson devices. Sony did something to the AUX port and its connections are inverted or something. I read a while back when i bought my pair of Dr.Dre beats.

I just got my LiveSound Headset and it does the same thing on my Asus Transformer like the DreBeats did on my Sony Ericsson. Great set of headphones Much better then Dr.Dre Beats and cheaper too.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicli:
I solved the problem.i sold my arc s and i bought galaxy s 2.Now i'm very happy with my phone and headphones.:)

Thanks for reply @rsingh612
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HSNalfar3:
WoW what a solution :eek:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladvertigo:
iPhone+BlackBerry and SE+Nokia are using different standards for pin-outs on headphone jacks, so you have to change either headset, or headphones..

i hate all those companies for doing this kind of thing to us :mad:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Yeah...

I think I'm going to tosh around a few hundred bucks for a new phone, because I don't like Arc's default ringtones. :p :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doomed151:
I'm going to sell mine because I don't like the wallpapers.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Haha, cazy and funny solution :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtechfan:
Is it so hard to use the Standard SE cable with mic/switch and plug in whatever headphones to that? For crying out loud! That's what I do and EVERY single pair of headphones that had issues does not do it if you plug them in that way! For now though, I found some nice ear buds that were for the xperia pure, I use them with the standard cable and the sound quality is fantastic.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShyamSasi:
There is a APK somewhere in SYSTEM folder that detects the unsupported headphone have someone tried to delete it and test it? Atleast we can get the headphones to work :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimMun:
Would this problem also occur when using my own headphones? (original iBeats, not from htc)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biohazard Xeon:
There is a software solution for this?

say, a modding or something?

or just selling the same S Arc? lol :D

thank you

u can try to modify hardware :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rolandh:
I ordered an MH1 LiveSound Headset in white for 19.99GBP and 1.99GBP shipping off eBay yesterday and they came today. The flat anti tangle cable is way better than the iBeats cable & the mic/control unit is a better quality than the iBeats, the sound quality is way better than the stock black headset that comes in the box of the Arc S and I would say it's on a par with the Audio quality of the iBeats. I've got the LiveKey set up to launch Play Music via LiveKey Launchee that's available in the Play Store, I might set it up to control Track ID or FM Radio as the Music Control feature on the LiveView kind of makes it obsolete, as there is no propper Music Control on the MH1s other than Volume & Play/Pause using the middle button.

I chose the white MH1s only on the grounds that they go nicely with my white Arc S. I tried using the white headset that came with my X8 but the sound was really poor compared with the black headset that comes with the Arc S.

Thanks for the tip ...

I solved the problem also, I bought a HTC Sensation XE lol :D

thank you
[Android General] Aphorism:
Just a note, this device is hot. Really hot. I burned myself, actually. It is never a good idea for a manufacturer to overclock a processor. The LTE does not burn battery as quickly as most people seem to think (compared to other devices), but overclocking by 0.3 GHz does.
[Android General] darenkan:
oh!! wow! never heard about this device.....
[Android General] shadow3352:
I didn't think that this phone was going to be launched til December 1st. How'd you already get your hands on it?
[Android General] tolis626:
I don't know how he got his hands on it,but he surely regrets it from what I understood. :p
[Android General] Aphorism:
Galaxy Nexus hype squashing it. LG's bad reputation does not help.

Well, the LG Nitro HD is exactly the same device as the one launched in Korea and and Canada as the LG Optimus LTE. I got my hands on a Korean and a Canadian version. I found them...Identical, really.

I have never had anything to do with LG, but decided to give it a go. I will give them credit on creating the "best" phone out there. It is really the fastest in terms of network and in terms of hardware. I tested against SGSII and HTC Raider, which are certainly high-profile devices currently. Could not "get my hands on" a Galaxy Nexus.

With all its merits, the LG device is, I believe, using an APQ8060 processor overclocked to 1.5 GHz. I discharged and charged the battery multiple times, and was left with the same impression: battery runs out VERY QUICKLY. On the first day it was at around 20% per hour with minimal usage, then, by the sixth day, it slowed down to about 10% per hour (also with minimal usage).

It also tends to get quite hot, especially when charging. That nice metal below the rear-facing camera? Yeah, DO NOT touch that.

Summing it up, the device really does perform better than every other device. The problems are that it does not last (I believe one user on this forum summed it up as "the fastest device on the market for the hour that it lasts"), and that its safety is...questionable.
[Android General] Dark lord me:
Yup the device has already been released in Canada as the Optimus LTE and the phoneès only saving grace is the screen on it at 1280 x 720 IPS
[Android General] Aphorism:
I cannot do anything but pity the people who have gotten/will be getting this phone.

It has always been legal to sell faulty products, just as a car company can decide to recall a million cars or leave them there and settle lawsuits due to deaths. Not quite ethical, however. Ethical is something I think I would like our dear mobile service providers to be.

All its flaws aside, that overheating issue WILL be a problem. We all love to laugh about the iPhone's occasional spontaneous combustion, but this device stands poised to take that title.
[Android General] netnerd:
I hope what you saying about overheating is true or you going to talk to LG lawyers pretty soon!

But I'm getting this phone! If it overheat, I just return it. Nothing to lose by getting this phone!
[Android General] Aphorism:
Go ahead. I am interested in seeing results from when more people get it. My experience may be just an isolated case of two devices.

Just make sure you meet the requirements to return the phone while you are playing with it.
[Android General] AFAinHD:
Yea cause I don't really think that your return policy covers...

This is my picture, don't steal it.
[Android General] ph00ny:
which processor does it have?
[Android General] 4ktvs:
A slow 1.5Ghz smapdragen.

P.S 4 cores are just with out words the bomb.
[Android General] Spartoi:
Slow?

Sent from my HTC Vivid™
[Android General] Vivid525:
lol ... is it slow? :P
[Android General] saywhat4118:
LG Nitro

Im using it right now and it doesnt seem slow to me nor is it getting super hot.
[Android General] 4ktvs:
I used a SGS2 SR and for 1.5 Ghz it did not seem as fast as my S2 at 1.2 Ghz or the 4 core phone I got to use. ( If I say any more they will pull black ops on me and then the news will be like in the movies.):)
[Android General] Aphorism:
Try running something processor-heavy. If you are going to baby it, I doubt anything will happen.

I never said it is slow. Other people did. It is fast.
[Android General] alton987:
Any ideas on how to root?
[Android General] saywhat4118:
I'll do some heavy browsing and YouTube video watching plus some games tomorrow when I get back to work. But.. the phone has a huge banding issue. At least the one I played with did. It is clear and smooth but you can see the color separation and its like a rainbow effect. Also the build quality feels cheap compared to the vivid.
[Android General] 0space_monkey0:
looks like LG gonna put a lil NITRO in that SKYROCKET... eh eh?? anyone?? lol
[Android General] Aphorism:
Yes, the banding is something I forgot to bring up. You can see it especially when the phone is turned off and you have the charging battery symbol. But even at other times you can see banding and dithering.

As for rooting, I would probably go the Universal Root way.

Build quality is rather pathetic. The plastic begins creaking after a while, a sound I do not think users will appreciate. Also, if you shake it, something might jingle inside.
[Android General] player911:
We were talking about this in the Nexus forums. I came from a Nexus One Amoled to the LG G2x IPS... and both screen techs have their perks. I can't really justify purchasing this over a Galaxy Nexus though. Google Updates, ICS, Super Amoled HD, NFC, 1.2ghz OMAP (1.5 native) CPU. Eh.

The Sensation has the snapdragon and adreno 220 gpu and it got horrible reviews. If you have a G2x, nothing is really upgrade-worthy until quads come out. The only reasons to pick up a Galaxy Nexus now is to switch to Verizon or for early ICS.

The G2x is a beast of a phone and with ICS, it should fly. Don't waste your money.

[EDIT] Sorry, thought I was in the G2x forums (I posted a link for someone). So the above is more geared to my G2x brotheren... but still holds value to others.

i'm on ATT, if i going to exchange my skyrocket for LG nitro. i only out 100$ from pocket. if i get galaxy nexus, i be out 700$ from my pocket.
[Android General] Aphorism:
I would not even recommend "upgrading". The Skyrocket is a superior phone to the Nitro. The Galaxy Nexus offers nothing except ICS. When the Skyrocket gets ICS, Skyrocket > Nexus.
[Android General] saywhat4118:
i need an xda method. i dont trust stuff from outside.. with all this CIQ thing going on.
[Android General] Aphorism:
Then you are going to have to wait for this phone to get attention. I do not even have it anymore, so I have no idea how to go about it.

[Android General] dsf767:
I really want to like the nitro. It seems like it has alot going for it with the 720P IPS display. I am actually swtiching to att very soon because my girlfriends company will give us a discount on plans so it will be cheaper then T-Mobile which we are using now for a better network.

My GF is getting the vivid which I am not super high on because I am on a sensation on T-Mobile and want something different and HTC don't have the best displays.

I would like the skyrocket but the resolution kills that phone for me.

It's like this phone has everything I want except I don't know if the development community will pick it up because its an LG. I guess I have a couple weeks to wait and see how development goes because I have to decide.
[Android General] netnerd:
anyone rooted the phone yet?
[Android General] sniper1087:
Yes rooted my phone using superoneclick shortfuse 2.2 worked like a charm, and now need to get some rims and we are set.
[Android General] Sharpshooterrr:
In terms of gaming capabilities, how does the Nitro fare against the Exynos Galaxy S2?
[Android General] AllTheWay:
I still think and believe the Enynos is superior to any Qualcomm based device. One of the main reasons I have a OG Galaxy S2 and now the Nitro HD. Love the display on this thing.
[Android General] netnerd:
what overheating issue?

i was using aftermarket car charger and using gps, after awhile, the phone reboots itself and popup said "Heat sensor detected high temperatures. Remove battery or move to a cool place." the phone automatically cut off from keep charging!

[Android General] ReggieSmith:
LG Nitro Love?

I also have a LG Nitro and it does perform well. I was able to root it with super one click and removed most of the bloat from it.

Having said that, it DOES tend to to heat up, especially when charging. I have a case on it and can still feel the heat coming off this thing.

I am contemplating returning it (still inside the 30-day window) but that screen is sooo nice to look at.

Another thing pushing me towards a return is the extreme lack of love by the DEV community for almost anything from LG. I didn't realize things were that bad. That being the case, it's almost assured that popular mods like CM7 and mui won't support it anytime soon. (Who knows when LG will actually port ICS onto it themselves and what the quality will be when they do.)
[Epic 4G General] henboffman:
I have been hoping that this would be corrected once the OTA dropped, but that is not the case. Also, I have come across people having this issue with the Asus Transformer, however, it seems that they had a bad piece of hardware. I doubt that is the case with my Epic, as the error only occurs on Gingerbread roms (including CM7).

On the left side of my screen, in either portrait or landscape orientation, that will be unresponsive for what seems to be a random period of time, or until I turn the screen off and on again. It is in the left-center of the screen, all the way to the S key on a soft keyboard, down to Z, and up past the text entry field.

Has anyone else experienced this, or have any recommendations on correcting this?
[Epic 4G General] specialist125:
I have experience that exact same issue on both ACS ICS Rom and ERA RC1 rom. I'm currently on ERA rom and switch backed to the Android keyboard because it seems like the Swype keyboard was giving me more issues. Hopefully someone looks into this because I really like the swype keyboard better.
[Epic 4G General] goblue30093:
I have experienced this on Froyo roms as well. Mine has always been down the center of my screen. That really sucks since most notifications are in the center. When I upgraded to Gingerbread this got much worse! I filed an insurance claim with best buy yesterday for some physical damage on the phone, so i am hoping my new epic doesn't have this issue.

oh and on GB, my phone does this on stock without root. it is maddening i tell ya lol.
[Epic 4G General] henboffman:
So was it deemed a hardware problem?
[Epic 4G General] diebyme:
I haven't had this problem and i've been running Cyanogen on it for a while, my girlfriend is running stock and hasn't mentioned anything like that to me.Revert to stock and do an OTA to the stock gingerbread build and see if it still happens.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ryryoku:
Hello,

my i9003 have a problem, every firmware who I flashed isn't smooth. It's smooth since 10 minutes after that the phone become to laggy (keyboard and scrolling inusable because of the laggy ...).

The only firmware who don't laggy was the XXKPE and now, after two days of use even him become to laggy !!

I begin to despair, how I can have a smooth phone ? (I don't care about the CF Root or this thing, I want only a smooth phone)

May be it's my flash process ? Someone can suggest me one ?

Thanks for your answers, I hope someone can help me.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
i hope u know about custom roms
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ryryoku:
Thanks for the reply.

Don't love at all the custom skin rom ... But what custom rom is smooth ?

Any other ideas ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ryryoku:
I don't understand what is the matter, why after few hours the phone begin to laggy. I flashed XXKPQ it's the same (has KPE,KPH,KPN,KPM....).

I flash twice XXKPE, flash XXKPQ, factory reset, flasher CF Root and I cleared the Cache and Dalvik Cache. I deoxeded, did backup, Ext4, and restored backup and laggy after few minutes/hours.

I tryed to flash stock ROM without CF Root/ext/Deodex it's the same. I try to download no APK it's the same...

Hope someone can help me.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
Deodexing usually causes some home screen scroll lag for me. Don't deodex. Also don't apply any tweaks in your CF-ROOT tweaks app, as some of the tweaks ends up causing the phone to lag after a few minutes of use!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ryryoku:
Thanks for the reply.

I tryed without any tweaks or deodex or cf root it's the same. Actually I am with XXKPQ no tweaks and no deodex it's laggy.

I think a file or a thing like that is corrupt.

Any other ideas ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
u can try to put some tweaks...like sas
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ryryoku:
I think the laggy are independant from the tweaks because of the laggy come without the cf root. So I think there is a thing who create the laggy on all the rom (I hope u understand what I meaning)

But I will try to able some tweaks.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
Hmmm... It's weird... Why don't you flash back to your region's stock ROM (Froyo) and see if the problem still persists. If it (or even if you think there are any problems) just send it to the service center and get it repaired/replaced.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kemistry01:
I think youre too exposed to iphones. We dont have that smoothness. Even stock fws will have the minimal lags ang hiccups.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ryryoku:
I don't think that. Yesteday I flashed to KPQ, since 2-3 hours all was perfect after that the laggy begin. And it'snt "minimal lag" but huge lag, when it's like that the keyboard show the letter 1sec (or more) after I tap on it...

The homescreen it's the same, need to slide 2-3 time for change, or doens't change at all and tap on a apps.

This is not normal at all (even my S5230 was better no need iphone lol).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ryryoku:
Sorry but I don't know where find the Froyo for Europe. SamFirmware close :/
