[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leek1001:
Hello all,

This has been a while ago for me so I'm a bit rusty now.

I've got a problem, in my eyes a big problem, so every help will be appreciated!

My phone: Samsung galaxy S2

SW: android 2.3.5-2.3.6

sync prog: KIES

What did I do:

I wanted to update my phone (all official) to version 2.3.6.

I read that it could fix some problems if I give it a factory reset.

Well that went good (yes, yes everything saved and backup).

Normal progress first let the PC do all the work, and when it says its done, disconnect and reboot.

Now the screen is frozen at the welcome screen.. "Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100"

I have absolutely no idea how I can fix this.

When I wanted to hard reset it again I saw this:

Can't access to '/system/csc/XEU/system/'

I searched it here and found this topic.

Almost everyone there says its no problem.

So ok no problem.

But how to fix the frozen welcome screen?

I've seen this topic and it seems his problem is the same like me. But can I do this to, or is my problem different?

I'll thank you so much for your help!

Greet,

Leek.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leek1001:
Can anyone tell me that I'm one the right path?

I think I got the same problem like user:'23207' in this topic.

I want to download ODIN and follow this post, but is this possible for my problem, or will I make it worse?

Please give me an answer.

Greets,

Leek.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWADED:
ODIN will probably work, It worked on my gf's crashed Galaxy Ace.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poults:
Just put phone in download mode again and flash stock firmware.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leek1001:
Trying right now.

I'm going to eat in a couple of minutes so I'll see what happened after I'm back.

edit:

Well 1 min later... my screen of my PC frozes and the first box in Odin turned red and it says FAIL!

Question.

The package I downloaded contains:

- CODE_I9100XWKDF_CL170898_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5

- EFS_I9100XWKDF_CL170898_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5

- GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXXKDD.tar.md5

- KERNEL_I9100XWKDF_CL170898_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5

- MODEM_I9100XXKDJ_REV_02_CL996627.tar.md5

Why isn't there a mention about .md5 in this post??

edit:

Never mind... found the explanation in the main post..

I used Odin3 V1.85

Is this the right version for me?

Samsung galaxy S2 I9100

I think I found out why it crashed, you hear from me after dinner.

Greet,

Leek.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leek1001:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
I've read a few threads concerning CWM Recovery possibly causing partition corruption issues on our Skyrocket. I know there are various ways of getting CWM recovery on the SR, with the primary 2 being: (1) root phone, install ROM Manager, then flash CWM via ROM Manager by selecting the "T-Mobile T989" option; (2) flash (via Odin) a pre-rooted ROM which has CWM Recovery already baked in. So my question: Are all these CWM Recoveries identical? Which method is leading to the potential CWM partition corruption issue on the SR? Not sure if Developers are using the same recovery images as the ROM Manager app is using... and which one is best suited for the SR. Thx.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Gr8Danes:
Personally, I had corruption issues after using the ROM manager CWM for T-mobile, but only after flashing Alien #3 ROM. I have now flashed the Odin version and have been running QuikWiz and no problems. I'm not too certain that either version really are able to clear data/cache properly.
[Nook Color General] Imbroglio:
If you haven't seen giveawayoftheday.com before, it is a site where software manufacturers offer licensed full versions of their products for FREE. The only drawbacks are that the software must be activated within 24 hours from when it is posted and technical support and upgrades usually aren't included.

It can sometimes be a real turkey shoot as to what is being offered but more often than not it is some type of handy program for audio/video processing or system utility. It is definitely worth checking this site out for programs that will make working with the NC easier. Today's free program is Zentimo 1.4 USB/eSata drive management program.

As a side note: After program installation there will be a pop-up from giveawayoftheday with 2 check boxes. Carefully read the description before clicking to enable either one. I just hit finish because I don't wany any unecessary "features". People running Norton Inernet Security may run into a problem with SONAR preventing the installs. GOTD stated that NIS is detecting a false positive due to the manner of how their software activation system works. I simply disable SONAR during GOTD program installs if this happens.

Had the USB port go out on my Sensation today, so a warrenty exchange it was......being that I had insurance to, I was given a choice for the Amaze as an alternate exchange!!!!!!!!

$5 warrenty processing fee and the Amaze should be here tomorrow, bittersweet as the development isnt as established on the Amaze, so I will have to hold tight for some AOSP build, regardless Im excited
[HTC Amaze 4G] corwest:

Good news..actually a blessing as you will at the least get more extended coverage of updates after ours winds down. I doubt we'll see anything past ICS and 2 maintenance updates.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
This was my first issue, having insurance allows for alternative exchange offers on warranty exchanges
[HTC Amaze 4G] leftheodo:
I think the Amaze is a better phone than the Sensation ( both in looks and hardware ) but honestly i wouldn't sacrifice the larger development section of the sensation! Anyway it's a matter of personal preference! I hope you enjoy your new (beautiful!) phone ;) ! Cheers!
[HTC Amaze 4G] lightforce:
damn i didnt get insurance on my sensation lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
true but the Amaze is barely a month old, Im sure it will have a hefty following in a month or so
[HTC Amaze 4G] stanleynhan:
Only 5 dollars? Some rep at the tmo store told me I would have to pay 130 for replacement sensation. Care sharing how you did all this?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
did you break the phone? Breaking the phone, you have to go through Asurion and pay the $130 deductable, my issue was a manufacturer issue, which couple with having insurance, costs me a $5 warranty fee
[HTC Amaze 4G] stanleynhan:
im planning on claiming a loss, but what kind of maufacturer issues are included?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
claiming a loss is an insurance claim, thus the $130. Man issues would be anything related to a issue with the phone not physical damage basically. screen goes out, button doesnt work, wont charge (my issue) ect.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stanleynhan:
alright thanks man, you think theyll let me get through it with the power issues the sensation has been getting? oh and did they make you send in your sensation?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
As long as there is no physical or water damage they have to do a warranty on it, and yes you send in the old one
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
Where did you buy the phone from?
[HTC Amaze 4G] VictorNYC:
Question

How long ago did you purchased your Sensation ? I'm Wondering if I’m still covered under warranty since I've been having few issues … I got mine the day it came out on T-Mobile USA since i was kinda waiting for it already...

The only thing that I missed so far is a thread like yours.

Agree on all requirements of released software.

Sometimes I wonder how some "devs" priorities are stacked regarding quality control vs. early delivery on pay-per-download sites.

Not sure what is best place for this thread. Counting # of posts in General asking Q already answered in stickies, it's kind of accepted to skip reading what's there. :-\

Perhaps keep it alive as hottest thread here?

One thing you must add while promoting your ROM.. That is CREDITS.

YES! Not giving credit where due is horrible, basically just forgetting all the hard work another individual has put in to the "feature" of your ROM. Also, this should probably be in general.

I found a fix that made it possible for push notifications to come through in realtime (for comments,tags etc.). I heard about that BlackBerry simulator solution and this is what i did : I downloaded a BB simulator (for 9300 series of phones or something...basicaly BB 7.0 or so). I logged out the FB app on Android, then i fired up the BB simulator/emulator and i I entered my facebook credentials in the BB's FB app and enabled "push notifications" and i also disabled all email notifications within the app. After that i logged-out and so FB push notifications started coming

Try it ,it

through immediately on my Samsung Galaxy

freakin works! P.s.: i would love to know if it worked for you. And another thing, don't forget to re-login on the FB app on the Nexus and ENABLE NOTIFICATIONS in the Options menu (the first checkmark box just under "refresh interval". Every other things like Event Invite,Messages and Friend Requests don't come through via Push but via refresh interval. Everything else will work through PUSH

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] legion1911:
I want to make a backup of the complete firmware of a android device (Galaxy II Tegra - Galaxy R) that has a rare firmware version on it.

I am required to return the device AS IS (same kernel, no root, same recovery, download counter showing 0, same firmware, same csc).

If I root the device with a root kernel, I lose the kernel of the device (i want to make a copy of this kernel!) and I would not be able to return the device with the same kernel.

If I put cwm on the device, I also modify it.

How can I do the reverse of what Odin does? (instead of writing to the device, reading the device).

Are there any driver for Android oder WebOS?
[TouchPad Accessories] Drachen808:
I don't know if there are going to bemany people who are willing to crack open their TPs to test this. I would also doubt that there are going to be any android drivers since that would require that the developers have a TP with this installed. Very unlikely.
[TouchPad Accessories] teddyspaghetti:
Thanks for this fox!! I was always wanting to see about adding a radio card to the TP. I knew the difference between the cell version and regular version of the TP had to be a simple module connected either via ribbon, coaxial, or both. Some simple empty space ready for a radio card to be plugged into it. I guess I was partially right. :3

I really will consider doing this. Although I am loyal to T-Mobile USA and it doesn't seem to support this :( Going to check out some disassembly videos and see what I'm up against. But it would be nice to have a cell-capable TP.

Bookmark saved, thanks again!
[TouchPad Accessories] Moon2:
What about this one?

Ericsson F3307

Seems to be the same one used in epad, so I'm guess there are drivers for it; so I'm guessing it can be used on android, but for webos it'd need porting - maybe from the android version or the linux version (don't know what the dependencies are).

Or maybe others too.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silberpfeil3110:
To summarize it, its very bad that such **** happened to me, but I want to warn everyone here of sky-high bills.

I can't explain why it happened, but it happened. Within 2 hours my phone downloaded more than 3GB and everything with my data connection. I searched a video in youtube (android app) and my connection was bad, so i decided to push the home button and forget it, the strange thing is, that youtube wasn't closed, and that's very abnormal for this app.

Whatever, the app was running and also the Streaming Media Service was running...

When i recognized, that there's something wrong it was too late... My data package was consumed and my bill is now more than 300€ high.

I changed to wifi, installed a data-tracking app and found the streaming media service... It was downloading and downloading and downloading. I closed every app with the task manager... with titanium backup... nothing helped. At least a restart really helped, now everything is right, except for the fact, that I need a lot more money...

That should be a warning for everyone to use a usage-tracker, before you get a heart attack...

EFS folder is nothing to with your blah blah nor your modem /baseband .

It is essential the details of the phone and its sole identity that is signified by the IMEI number individual to each phone . This IMEI number is used in the initial handshake each time you make a connection .

Lost or stolen phones can have their IMEI blocked once on the block list handshake is denied by the networks = no connection .

u mean is that a nw problem? nothing to do with the phone?

its really p***d off me for fixing that issue..

handshaking happens only after the phone detects the sim card. but here phone doesnot detect the sim at all. so is ur point still valid?

my phone was brought from samsung authorized dealer so how come its possible to happen so?

looks like EFS is the area where full flash no longer having access to it!! if not then a complete flash should have sorted that out.

EFS are reference files containing the imei and phone unique info, when these files gets corrupted, then phone will b helpless.

though u have root access u'll never get RW permission inside the folder.

there should be a automatic recovery, the SW should have had in place if there are corruption. poor implementation.... bah...
