[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zipxavier:
I know my way around Android phones, Odin, etc. I've had a few of the original GS variations and never encountered anything like this.

It is an i9100, early batch GSII (Made in Korea) and is not rooted. This thing will not save any changes, whether it's deleting an app, flashing in Odin, using the Factory Format, etc. I am just perplexed.

I purchased this phone used from an online retailer at a great price, with a refund only policy. I figured no matter what there's always a solution as long as the bootloader, recovery mode and download mode are accessible. It seems I was mistaken.

Basically, all of the previous owner's information is on the phone. I can't do a factory reset through Android's menu since it prompts for the password of the original owner. Okay, fine, so I went into recovery mode and did a factory data reset then a wipe of the cache. Phone boots back up like nothing happened.

I've also tried the "Factory Format" dialer code with the same result. Any attempt at Odin flashing, whether it's a regular TAR or the 3 piece deal also do nothing. Odin will say it passed on every attempt, but nothing changes. All of the apps, personal info, etc are still there untouched.

After hours of trying to find a solution and getting nothing helpful, I even ticked the Re-Partition option, as well as the Phone EFS Clear in Odin. This also did nothing. The IMEI did not change or become corrupted as I expected.

Download mode shows that the Custom Binary Download is no. From what I understand, stock ROMs should still flash regardless of the counter's status. All I've tried to flash are stock ROMs, to no avail.

I'd love to get this thing working instead of sending it back for a refund. They won't offer an exchange as they are not receiving any more GS II.

Any ideas? I appreciate any and all responses, thanks.

I would remove ext sd card .

Go to recovery mounts and storage

Format cache data system and sd card .

Phone should now be empty remove battery and replace then boot to download mode and flash stock rom via Odin .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zipxavier:
I haven't had an SD card in this phone at all. I've already tried those steps as well, and it did not help. This is just so strange.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
I think your biggest problem is to do with the old password. I know from the S1 days that factory reset and other measures will not work if you don't know the password/pattern lock etc. Only Odin 3 part file + pit + repartition cleaned it up.

When you say you ticked repartition, did you have the pit file also? If not ticking repartition will not do anything I think. Very possible that all the files you flashed were no-wipe versions as well.

So maybe try this. Not sure if you've seen one of those firmwares which has a whole load of files in the zip like code (PDA), a couple of csc's, efs and more. They also have a pit file. Maybe try one of those firmwares. I use kh3 which I got of samfirmware.com a few months back when I want to clean **** up. I think I read somewhere that the new kk5 also.has them.

I know alot of people will say 'don't use pit or repartition' but I think you've got nothing to lose.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zipxavier:
I appreciate the detailed reply, but that was the second to last thing I tried. I did use the pit, however I'm not sure if the package I used was a no wipe version. I used KF1, it was 3 files and I selected the pit, didn't work. I'll give KH3 a shot and report back in a bit, thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zipxavier:
No go on KH3 either, this is one phone that does not want to be wiped
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3_:
Is it just me or does your phone sound like a zombie?

Aim for the head! :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Man your phone does sound weird. Maybe the s2 has some other sort of security measure related to that password. I think I did read a thread once about someone who had a similar problem. Not sure but it might have been a hardware issue.

Maybe rooting it will help but doubt it. Anyway, try an Odin flashable kernal like cf root or speedmod or even a custom firmware like litepro. Litepro flashes in Odin. If you can get cwm recovery maybe a wipe custom rom might do something.

[Motorola Photon 4G] SNAAAAKEE:
First I would just like to thank all of the devs and knowledgeable people on these forums for helping noobs like me. My problem is that I tired to apply the youtube fix for cm7 for the phone by editing the build.prop folder and adjusting the proxy settings to 0's however after doing the my phone lost all connectivity. I figured that I would just reflash my backup that I made before editing the file but that didn't fix the issue even though it did adjust the build.prop file back to what it was before so now I'm a bit confuesed. Does anyone know what could be causing this issue?
[Motorola Photon 4G] fnztakedown:
If you have a joker rom try reflashing or it may boil down to sbfing your phone and/ or calling sprint for ota provisioning

[Motorola Photon 4G] SNAAAAKEE:
Thank you for the reply I ended up sbfing back to stock which took care of it. I think because it forces the device to reactivate? Not sure on that though, anyways guess I will have to be extra careful when I edit that file in the future.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentBootman:
Hey guys, thanks in advance for this one.

Is it possible, to both change the default application that launches when the car is 'docked' in Car Mode, or when double-tapping the home key? The default is the Samsung Voice Talk. I'm more interested in having it launch straight into the Winamp app, since i use the phone to handle all my in car music.

I'm running 2.3.3 and have root, so I'm not adverse to making changes in system configuration files to make this happen.

On a side note, when i accept a call in car mode, the phone answers in speaker mode. I'd like it, just as everything else does when docked, to output my calls to the car speakers. I have the USB Audio Output option selected.

Any insights?

I dont have this phone,try at your own risk!

as the title says,this mod will enable u to easily customize bootscreen !

I Have Attached The Custom Booting.zip File

Which Contain 2 files

1) bootanimation

2) samsungani

NOTE : Files Should Be Executable

ie. Permission should be rwxr_xr_x (r=read, w=write, x= executable)

These Two Files Have to be copied to /system/bin With Root Explorer Or Any Thing Like That

The Next File I am Attaching Is sanim.zip

sanim.zip file must be copied To /system/media

delete /system/media/shutdown.qmg /system/media/bootanimation.qmg and /system/media/bootanimationloop.qmg.

The sanim contains the PNG files Which Can be edited As your will

I put all files where you said and changed permissions accordingly, the phone boots alright, but after the samsung- and the following galaxy s plus gt....-screens

there is just a black screen till boot is complete.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] sakindia123:
really strange............will see if anything can be done

r u sure u didint forget sanim.zip?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
exactly the same for me..

@sakindia123: I tried a custom boot animation (renamed to sanim.zip) which didn't work. But I also tried the original sanim.zip which also doesn't seem to work

Yeah, just double checked everything, doesn't work :(

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Aurellion:
I'm not sure what you mean, so I uploaded my samsungani:

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] manveru0:
ooops, sorry my mistake. My question was for Sakindia. I was wondering because he obviously didn't change the init.rc which would trigger the bootanimation binary.

EDIT: Nevermind. Found it out by looking at the files. The samsungani Sakindia uploaded does trigger the bootanimation binary, so no need to do it in the init.rc
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] sakindia123:
yup,that's y ramdisk wasnt needed

can u investigate the matter manveru0?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] manveru0:
well I've tested my own version of it (but with modded init.rc) and I was facing the same issue as the other users did with your version. Where did you get the bootanimation binary from? I think that binary may cause the issue. Anyway I have to take a deeper look at what happens when starting the bootanimation.

It works perfectly with FeaMod 1.2, but there is a small typing error in:

GT-I9001 Adrenaline Shot - powered by Instanet free edition
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] reneph:
Yes thats simple. Use any root explorer you want (Root Explorer, ES File Explorer or something like that), make sure you have mounted /system as read-writeable (mostly you can set this in the options) and then you can delete the file or do whatever you want to do. If you feel scared, just make a backup with FeaMod, then you can easily restore your previous system if anything happened that your phone wont boot up or so.

Basically you got a boot loop and will need to flash a new stock rom and root it again and then put your custom roms if you want.

The solution goes until unlocking a bootloader. If you don't need this, don't do it.
