[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skullsoup:
Hello,

I recently got a T-Mobile Samsung S 4G phone (SGH-T959V) and tried to flash it with ODIN.

To make a long story short .. after 2 days of reading everything I could in the section for this phone, I decided to flash a new custom rom on the phone. This looked like it started to work in ODIN then eventually hung for 45 minutes at that point. I disconnected the USB wire to retry/go back to reading more.

At this time, the phone only turns on when I hit the Vol+ and Power button at the same time. It then will display a few lines in orange text saying:

RST_STAT = 0x1

PWIC_IRC1 = 0x00

PWIC_IRC2 = 0x0

PWIC_IRC3 = 0x1

PWIC_IRC4 = 0x0

PWIC_STATUS1 = 0x00

PWIC_STATUS2 = 0x0

In this state Odin can connect to the phone via a COM port (THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY GOOD SIGN!).

I tried downloading a .pit / stock rom to reflash and reset this mess back to an OEM state but I think I got the wrong one

Any help from this point on would be awesome! I have been looking for the proper .PIT / for this phone. The stock firmware was easy enough to find via the search box on this site. I miss my phone and I know about 85% on this site know an incredible amount of knowledge about this stuff.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help *crosses fingers*

Handy (and cheaper?) espcecially if they are not easily found in your area.

Things to note:

1. Only work from a more premium brand battery, e.g. "super charged bunny".

2. The sub cells extracted are slightly shorter than a AAAA battery. You need to add a strip of connector which can be found from the dismantled 9V battery.

3. The sub cells are unmarked (-/+), special care must be taken with the polarity.

http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-get-6-aaaa-batteries-from-9v-battery-267606/

Tried and tested myself :

update 1: doesn't work on the battery I disassembled. Maybe only apply to certain brand.

update 2 : as rowards pointed out, indeed only certain 9v battery yield 6 AAAA batteries. Tried on a "super charged bunny" and it works. Though the sub cells are slightly shorter than the normal AAAA batteries - I had to add a strip of connector (from the disassembled 9v battery) to make it work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rowards:
It works-but you will need a more premium battery-much like the "copper top" one or the "super-charged bunny" one. I have done it with the copper top battery and it did yield 6 AAAA batteries. I learned that the lower-branded 9 volts do not use AAAA batteries inside (more like pile batteries inside). Try it with the upgrade brands and you will be very satisfied. Just be careful when you pry the casing off the 9 volts.

This is an old Kipkay trick from many years ago. AAAA and AAA batteries are the same size. So you could in a pinch, disassemble one for your tv remote till you get to the store.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] huntman21014:
AAAA batteries aren't the same size, if you mean internally they might be but an AAA battery definitely will not fit in the stylus normally.

ugh had to buy mine aaaa from microcenter after stopping by couple stores that do not have them.

What uses AAAA batteries? Any tricks for getting N batteries? Those are getting pricey, thankfully me 41cx can go a long time on them.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DonalDuck47:
Pictures!

The htc flyer/view stylus uses them.

For those who are curious about how this turns out, it works, as said before. Here are some pictures about HOW exactly it works. I used a 9v Energizer battery.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TheonlyTazz:
works great thanks!!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kulanb:
Big caution here folks...the negative end (with the peg) is unfinished and EASILY prone to short circuits. Last thing you want is your pen becoming a trick exploding cigar.

The reason these are smaller than an actual aaaa batteries is because they are unfinished. They don't have a cover on the negative end (with peg) and no familiar "button top" on the positive end.

Also, some cheaper brand batteries that have these quadruple a's in them don't always have a full 1.5 volts. Some under rate as low as 1.3 and will cause the pen to behave funny (like constantly write without touching the screen). I guess when they are connected in a series to make the 9v, it's close enough. You get what you pay for sometimes.

Anyway, would hate to see anyone hurt. Beware if your pen feels warmer than your hand!

Cheers!

[LG Optimus 2x] vesparados150:
hi there,

im still new to the o2x (got my phone yesterday) but i is comfortable with flashing android. i used to own a milestone and flashing roms but not KERNELS.

So my prooblem here is that i can never flash a kernel it will either end up in a boot loop or screen will just turn black. M i missing something here?

History;

1)Phone came with GB update yesterday.

2)rooted with the NVflash method.

3)DOwnloaded Rom manager and flash CWR via the app("flash CWR").

3)Then flashed CM7 stable.

p/s: i never flash any baseband, RIL...

I also picked the correct kernel that states for CM7..

and also im using a 8gb sd card.

your advice will be highly appreciated. thank you very muchh!!~
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

Ok, 1st when you come from a stock GB you need to flash a baseband that is woking with CM7 as the stock GB-baseband is not...

Always before flashing format /cache, /system and wipe dalvik.

Install CM7-stable/nightly/KANG

Install gapps

Install kernel

Reboot

1st reboot might end in boot loop - pull battery after a few minutes - then you should be good to go.

If you still have a boot loop recheck everything. Maybe redownload rom or kernel – it might be broken.
[LG Optimus 2x] vesparados150:
thank you very much for your pm and reply. So implanning to revert back to froyo so that i dont need to flash any baseband am i right?. and try again...anyway is ril important?

on a side note, from wwhat i know, u need to flash the baseband that is closest to your country m i right? but im abit confuse after reading the post about baseband because they say certain baseband is better than the others.

Ok im a bit confuse now... so sorry dude...wht do you suggest I do now.. currently im on CM7 stable. just wanna flash the kernel.

1) i wanna revert back to stock to start all over gain. but i dont know which i to choose there r so many to choose..V20, v10 etc..which 1 is for CM7?...

**my aim is cm7 stable with [CM7 KERNEL][Dec12-REBASEv2] ironkrnL -- vork's bastard stepson**

2) i should flash baseband after this rite?..same prob...which 1 to choose?

lets say i flash this BIN_LGP990AT-00-V20e-ESA-XXX-OCT-28-2011+0.zip. can i just flash any random baseband or it needs to be in the same category'??

thank you very much for your advice...
[LG Optimus 2x] vesparados150:
MY GOAL: stable CM7 + ironkrnL -- vork's bastard stepson

ok heres an update...i reverted back to stock...

Android version:2.3.4

baseband: 1035.21_20110225 (does this mean that it is 0725?)

kernel version: 2.6.32.9

build number: GRJ22

LGE version: LGP990-V20e

it is based on the stock firmware:

BIN_LGP990AT-00-V20e-ESA-XXX-OCT-28-2011+0.zip

1)So my plan is, Im gonna root it with this method.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1327599

(w busy box installed)

2)then im gonna download Rom Manager from market and install CWM from the app.

3) after this im gonna backup the whole rom and start flashing bbaseband (which i dont know which i too choose yet rite now. after much reading, some say the 0218 is good for CM7 stable so im gonna use that.

4) ill be wiping everything (data/cache/dalvik) and flash 1) CM7 stable 2) Google apps 3) the target kernel accordingly.

let see how it goes.I hope i ll be right this time...
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
that kernel was very unstable for me, had tons of reboots and bootloops . maybe try an other kernel if it doesnt work.
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:
use vorkkernel if iron kernel gives you reboot and bootloop

why don't use nvflash recovery from paul obrien.

http://android.modaco.com/topic/335474-25-mar-nvflash-stock-rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15032011/

don't forget to install get ril app
[LG Optimus 2x] vesparados150:
Thanks for your reply. Yeah..i only had the chance to use nvflash once. After i flash cm7 , i have to press both volme up and down and usb instead of just pressing volume down and usb. Because of that i m always stuck at "nvflash started"

at last...i had nvflash working....thank the gods!....It appears tht u have to keep on trying until u it works for nvflash to execute..(I was stuck a " nvflash started ").

so heres a question. what baseband is usable for CM7 stable?..

after i flashed the based, basically i just hav to get the app get ril and im done for the first stage right?
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

Any baseband compatible with Froyo is working with CM7.

I would use 0725 or 0823 some people recommend 0622 - they say it has least battery drainage...;)

For me personally 0823 works best since it gives me better reception indoors, which is far more important than battery life (at least to me ;)).

But you might have to do your own tests, since this might be influenced by factors like Provider and personal profile of usage.

I would recommend you start with 0725.

The best guide is this German one…:cool::D

http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/lg_op...-lg_optimus_speed_p990_aktuelle_baseband.html

English How-Tos are here…:)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1008070

I would say download baseband from 23.08.11(BB 0823) or 25.07.2011(BB 0725) from the German page at handy-faq.de and follow the English How-To.

The baseband Zipfile from Version 0823 contains 4 files – flash them in descending order of size. Baseband 0725 is only one file – this might be easier…

After this boot back to recovery install CM7, install gapps and kernel if needed…

Get GetRIL from the market (you could place this on you SD-card before) or LG RIL Version and download/install the corresponding RIL-Version…

Then reboot and you should be good to go…;):):D
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
...and BTW: I wouldn't use CM7 stable since this is rather old now and since its release there have been a vast amount of bug fixes and new features added.

I would go for the latest KANGs (see my sig.).

A2DP Bluetooth support for instance is now perfect. My phone connects to my cars radio and build in hands free unit without glitches, whenever Bluetooth is activated– that didn’t work with CM7 stable! Audio streaming works perfectly etc.

And if you want to save one step and you are planning in flashing a stock rom 1st because you fell your phone is messed up – use a froyo based rom 10d or something and you don’t need to flash a new baseband…

…and yes to have a corresponding RIL is important since a matching BB/RIL compo makes reception better and helps prevent glitches and crashes – but installing a corresponding/matching RIL is easy (see above).
[LG Optimus 2x] vesparados150:
thanks alot.... im now using 0622 (ginger) with the compatible 0622 ril based on LG getRil. what i did was i flash a froyo rom with nvflash. then flash baseband with smartflash tool. then i flash cm7. everything was right until....the kernel part...i downloaded the the vorkkernel app and downloaded the kernel from there. Still no success in flashing the kernel..the screen will just go black and continue that way...sigH~..i wonder what is the problem...

i ll try the kang in your signiture..Im sleepless for ddays because of this kernel..

P/S; iwonder why i cant wipe dalvik cache. it says "E:unknown volume for path [sd-ext]"
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

Again gingerbread based basebands aren’t compatible with CM7 - they might work at first but you get loss of signal, crashes etc. :rolleyes:;)

No need to flash new baseband when you come from a froyo based rom!;)

I wouldn’t use vorkkernel since it is to old – use ironkrnL.:)

CM7 stable is very old – use latest KANG.

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

...and better use latest ironkrnL.

http://www.donka.hu/android/ironkernel64PSUV2_20111222.zip

vodonka promised to build a 00 ramhack - you can apply that later.

…or you copy on of his zImages a few posts before over the zImage in the zip mentioned above…

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20501506&postcount=352

That’s normal – when it say dalvik is wiped – everything should be ok.
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

Update - vodonka has posted his ironkrnL-builds!

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20617018&postcount=395

Use either no ramhack version or 32MB ramhack version (but reboot won't work 32MB hack - but it is faster).

Wouln't use higher ramhack version since some things like camera or video recording certain games etc won't work anymore.

Best compromise for me is the 32MB hack since these extra 32MB speed up things considerably and only reboot doesn’t work – I can do without it. Shut down and then reboot isn’t that bad.
[LG Optimus 2x] vesparados150:
mr medicineman...u really made my day...i would like to elaborate more but let me digest what u have said first..will cme back later for some credits and how u helped me solve it..

funny thing is that i flashed froyo rom and the baseband is 1035.21_20110622 (0622)...is that normal?
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:
yes it's normal. i do flash 2507 froyo baseband and ril
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

This depends on the version of ROM you flash...:rolleyes:;)

i.e. v10d Euro open contains BB/RIL 0725 - if you flash something older you might get an older BB.

But 0622 is fine - it is even recommend by certain forums because some people report better battery life with it compared to the newer BBs – so if your reception is ok with that, no need to change it. :)

Hi guys i am new to android and after a few searchers on google i cant really find an answer.

I downloaded a data usage tracking app first onavo and then 3g watchdog, and i dont know if what it says is correct or not .

When i go to usage by application i see a group of apps which constantly send and receive a lot of data , but the usage doesn't add to total data usage so i dont know what to think , both onavo and 3g watchdog do this .

I'll be gratefull if you can give me an answer.

Ill attach a screenshot.
[LG Optimus 2x] tablighs:
I use 3g watchdog too, and for many months. You can swipe to see data usage by day, week and month, so you should know what page are you looking at.

About the total data amount not tally with individual app data usage, I can safely say that you only follow main page total data usage reading (day/week/month).. it is quite accurate. I use to monitor my 3g usage because my 3g plan has a daily 20mb limit which I will get charged if I go over it. :)

Star X18i Cam & flashlight Problem

Here i am finding some thing about Star X18i Camera, Screen and flashlight problem..

Just a little trick for those who are worried about Blank Screen, Or Camera Problem, Or Flash light Problem.

Many complain that after flashing the phone "fall off" the camera (front or rear), the display is not working properly (does not show anything, skewed, wrong brightness, wrong color and so on). The fact is that the manufacturer of the device changes over time. In different batches of devices can be set to the same array of cameras, different display controllers. To account for these situations in uboot firmware file made every possible driver (at the time of the release of firmware) for the cameras and display specific device. All you have to do - is to specify the correct sensors front and rear camera and a faithful display controller. Do not worry if you make a mistake in these parameters. Just ask one more time and options.

If both options are not suitable, then ... If the display is not working properly - Pick up the correct display of the controller are available for selection. If not working the front or rear camera (or both), pick the correct sensor for the camera. Of the camera is easy to check by running a standard Camera program.

OPEN uboot file in any hex editor and find these lines..

AGOLD$LCM$DRV

Here put your Display driver name i.e (truly3p2049$R) without braces.

And then find this line.

AGOLD$CAM$DRV hi253yuv hi704yuv NONE

Replace hi253yuv with ov3660yuv and do not edit anything else.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After specifying all the data for the cameras and the display controller save and close the program.

Open the program SP Flash Tool.

Push the button Scatter-loading and select the file Android_scatter.txt (he is in the folder with the firmware).

Remove all ticks except uboot and Flash this file..

\\Have a good luck :good:
