Hi guy there are many members with this issue I was one of them I got my phone replaced

this is hardware failier sumsung should declare that
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
Yes its unacceptable that so many phones are failing at roughly about the same time... those whose phones are still running fine do run a risk of this happening to them too!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shyamb:
mzone1510, gugnani and dr-PHP,

I am facing the same issue with my GT-i9003 since last month... been to service centers here in Bangalore multiple times but these guys are clueless. They kept it under observation for more than 10 days in these 4 visits and promised to fix it. They dont agree to this being a hardware issue and insist that there is software fix which they are not able to explain or convince me so far.

I contacted the Samsung support and they got back to me. Yesterday they asked me to again submit my cellphone to the same service center and promised that they would fix it. I am really confused as to what steps to take now to get my phone fixed as only a month left for the warranty to expire. If this is an hardware issue, how do I get it replaced? Please advise.

Thanks,

Shyam

it may be boot loop..flash i9003 with ddkp3 and clear cache / do factory data reset... dont forget to backup
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sirilpta:
Continously mail and call the customer support and say them that it has been more than 3 times the service center cant fix the problem and ask them and force them to replace the handset... i had a similar another problem and gave it two times and recieved it without repairing the fault.. atlast i fired on them and they replaced with a brand nrw mobile.... say them that you are going to complaint the customer court...

send from gt-i9003 using android keyboard
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] yes123:
I am facing the same problem too,

Then i send to service center and they change a new PCB(motherboard?), then this problem solved.

Now new problem arise, GPS totally no working.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shyamb:
Thanks Guys!. Finally they have agreed to offer a refund for the phone!

hi , i am having galaxy sl i9003, and all was going good until came to newzealand and? updated my cell by official FW by kies. when i did that the cell restart by by it self and it stucks in the boot lood and when i saw the loop i remove battery and after that﻿ i starts it again what i see is my phone is formated no contacts no messages.thats not all after that as i had no choice to go for? unofficial FW i tried some FW from every were. read so many forums and tried on my phone but didnt worked but what i came to know is my internal sd is broken thats the problem. i read one solution which contains root the phone and tried it and ended up having one more addition in my problems now it doesnt even starts its just stucks in boot loop no matter what ever i do. i can go to download mode and recovery mode thats all nothing else . i hope you here can help me out plz!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] varunthapliyal999:
If you can go into download mode just flash xxkpe then flash yiur desired firmware.The whole guide is given in development section.As for the restart problem.If your phone restarts and factory resets(all contacts and msgs lost) frequently then its tge problem of motgerboard.in which case there is no solution other than going to samsung service centre.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Dharmik111120:
i flashed with kpe but the same result didnt helped? any other solution?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nickargas:
i had the same problem but i've never had a restart problem... as the other members say you must go to a samsung center
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Wahaha123:
ANYONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM YOU MUST READ THIS

Hey guys, i had exactly the same problems on my phone... only my phone reboots when i leave the phone in idle for 2 weeks before completely bootlooping on the bootlogo. at first i thought it was just a software problem and i could fix it by reflashing to stock. it took one more week before doing so since i didnt have a new laptop then. but when i got my laptop, i immediately flashed to stock but the rebooting still exists. i want to tell you guys, if it still reboots even if you flash to stock, IT IS NO LONGER A SOFTWARE/FIRMWARE PROBLEM! it is a hardware defect between the motherboard and the internal sd (usb storage). if you have this problem, bring it immediately to a service center for a motherboard fix/change. the cause of the problem is by putting the phone on your jeans/shorts' pocket (specially if its slim fit/ or tight) the phone bends and then it'll break the motherboard... also an unusual cause of the promblem is that when you have an external sd exceeding 8gigabytes. yes i too am suprised. i found this out when the technician asked me how much gig my ext. sd has. they say that it is adviseable and reccomended to have a 4gig ext. sd or lower. anything else higher could damage the phone.

[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
I unlocked my phone with the htc method. I had root, and superuser. titanium backup worked fine. I made a nandroid backup before I started messing with ROMS. I decided to flash infected's ROM first. Everything seemed to be going ok. It rebooted, and I got the cool beats animation. Then I got the htc splashscreen. then it just flipped back and forth between them for a half hour or so. something was obviously wrong. I tried rebooting the phone: same results. I can get into bootloader, both by holding volume down while powering up, and through the command prompt, via adb. I have a nandroid backup through twrp recovery, so no problem, right? well, it didn't work. So now, I can boot into the bootloader screen, but nothing else. I tried flashing a different ROM, but to no avail. Eventually, I noticed that I had htc sync running while I did all this. Did that wreck me? Any ideas what I can do now? I just tried to restore my nadroid backup again, without htc sync running, but all I get is a white htc screen. Please help me unbrick my phone!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
whenever I try to flash ANY other rom, I get to the part where I have to use fastboot to flash the boot.img, and it says "sending boot" and just stays there forever.
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
Tried flashinf recovery.img, and the same thing happens. "sending recovery" and screen pause
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
God I hope someone smarter than me feels generous enough to help here...
[HTC EVO 3D] JayDaKissEP:
Are you on windows? Did you install htc drivers?
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
I am on windows 7, and I have the htc drivers installed. Like I said, I successfully completed the htc unlock method. I had no problems until I tried to flash a rom
[HTC EVO 3D] JayDaKissEP:
So you hold volume down and power to enter fastboot. Select fastboot by hitting power again. Then plugin usb and it should say fastboot usb. Then what command do you type after that?
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
now it wont even go into hboot. not with vol down and power, or through command prompt. before, it was going into hboot just fine, and I was using fastboot flash boot boot.img to flash the rom, but everything froze
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
now when I plug it in and use the command prompt to enter adb reboot bootloader, it just says device not found. holding power and vol does nothing
[HTC EVO 3D] JayDaKissEP:
Hmmm.. Not sure why you can't get into fastboot but your using the wrong command. You want to type fastboot boot recovery.img. Recovery being the name of the recovery image in your folder.
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
thanks. I'll try that if I can get back into the bootloader
[HTC EVO 3D] JayDaKissEP:
What you did works for that only installs the kernel. Then you need to flash the rom. I never did it that way nor do I use twrp
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
I did flash the rom.zip from twrp recovery. when it rebooted, it started to work, then just went into a boot loop. then I started trying to fix it, now it wont even come on
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
For now, I'm hoping that the battery just discharged during the process. I'm gonna let it charge for a few hours, and see what happens. I'm afraid that I might have done a battery pull in the middle of the process, though. When I first flashed the InfectedROM, the phone rebooted and got stuck in a loop between the beats graphics, and the htc quietly brilliant screen. it just kept going from one to the other. It went on for quite a while, and eventually, I think I pulled the battery to stop it. However, I was still able to get into the bootloader after this. I tried to reflash the rom, and a couple of others to no avail. When I decided to try to reflash recovery.img, is when it hit the fan, so to speak. after that, I was unable to boot into fastboot, or even get adb to recognize that there was a device there at all. Man, I hope letting the battery charge works. Like a moron, I don't have any insurance on my phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
when I plug it in, windows intermittently makes the gong noise that something is connecting or disconnecting, and windows explorer briefly recognizes that a removeable drive is present, but I can't get the thing to charge, or turn on at all, and adb refuses to recognize that it connected, so I still cant manually put it into fastboot
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
well, I left the phone plugged in for about 7 hours. I hooked it up to the computer and once again tried to get into bootloader through adb. The computer said that the "daemon was started successfully" then goes right back to device not found. I guess Im screwed if no one else knows any tricks or ideas..
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Pull the battery

Wait 2 minutes.

Put battery back in.

Hold down Vol - and power.

Do not be connected to anything. And are you SURE your battery is good?

PM me if you see this and I dont answer.
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
I pulled the battery and waited. I even grabbed the battery out of my girl's evo3d. I can get into bootloader via the vol down, and power, but it stopas and asks if I want to update. If I say no, it just reboots to the htc screen. If I say yes, it says updating, then says press power to reboot. Then it goes directly to the htc screen and freezes. While it's in the htc screen, I can use command prompt to get it back into bootloader via the "adb reboot bootloader" command, but I can't get to my recovery menu. I was going to mount usb storage, and put another rom on the sd card, then re-flash, but it won't allow me to get to recovery
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Ok, soundslike you have a "PG86IMG.ZIP" on the root of your SD card. Dont worry, just swap cards with your old lady but put the ROM on it first.

You wont be able to do anything until you swap Sd cards or otherwise delete the PG86IMG.zip.
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
when I use command prompt to enter bootloader, I get the opening menu: bootloader, reboot, reboot booloader, and power down. If I press power to choose booloader rather than fastboot, the phone immediately goes back to asking me if I want to update, and no matter what I choose, the results are the same. it reboots to the htc screen
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
I do have that .zip file on my phone's card. it was one of the last tjings I tried to fix it. I'll swap cards, and try from there. thanks so much for the help. I'll check back in a minute
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Read what I just posted...

It also sounds like you lost your recovery partition due to a bad flash.

After you get your SD card straight you just need to put a recovery on.

Easiest way to do it is this...

Get sd card straight,

go to hboot

select fast boot

download and run my recovery batch file from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1292556

Pull battery when compelete

boot to hboot

select recovery

select ROM to flash

Hit Thanks on all of my posts

Flash ROM
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Dude, slow down... were gonna keep cross posting and you will surely jack your isht up
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
just to be sure, when I copy the boot.img file to my folder with my sdk tools, should I leave a copy in the .zip file I place on the sd card? basically, should I cut and paste, or copy and paste?
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Did you get the recovery put back on?
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
I used my girl's sd card. I placed the zip file on the card, and placed to boot.img in the proper folder. I booted into fastboot, and flashed the boot.img. It said successful, so I navigated to the recovery option, so I could flash the zip, but the phoine just began to reboot. However, it got farther this time. I get all the way to the sprint screen before it freezes
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Dude... SLOW DOWN.....

Read what I am saying to you.

Look at post #22 and follow those steps.

You have lost recovery and need to replace that before you can continue.

Report back when done.
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
sorry. I'll try to slow down. I'm just kinda freaked out, and trying to fix it. I need to breathe, I guess. I'm gonna go back through the last couple of posts and go step by step. Thanks alot bro
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Post #22 tells you what to do line by line step by step.

You are not bricked, your phone is phone. You just lost your recovery partition. It happens all the time when a flash is bad or the update script is hosed.

Read post #22. Execute.

You will be fine. Im out for few hours....

Peace!
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
Ok, so I boot into fatsboot. I run your batch file, and it just says device not found. I'm in the bootloader screen. The phone is plugged in. I cant get into the phone to make sure sd storage is unmounted, or to make sure htc sync is disabled
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
now it says sending recovery, and is paused... lets see what happens!

about how long should it stay paused at this point? command prompt still says sending recovery
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
30 seconds or so. No longer than a minute.

Did it go?
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
nope. it stayed like that for many many minutes, then I had to do a battery pull to stop it. The thing is acting very weird. I can get to the bootloader now with vol down and power. If I just power on, It gets stuck at the "htc" "quietly brilliant" screen. While it is in this screen, I can use command prompt to get into bootloader. If the phone is turned off, I get a device not found error. Once in bootloader, I can flash any file I want, and the command prompt says it's sending the file, but it gets stuck. Doesn't matter whether its a boot.img or a recovery.img file. If I navigate to recovery, the phone just tries to boot and gets stuck at the "htc" screen.

At least I can get into bootloader. Now the only thing I can think of is to start from scratch and go step by step and try to do this all over. Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
I tried running the ruu, but it's tricky to get the phone into bootloader AND recognized by adb at the same time, and when I manage to do it, it says my battery power is less than 30% and won't loet me continue. My battery is fully charged, and I have tried it with a fully charged battery out of my girl's phone. Man, I'm about out of ideas...
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
when I first boot into bootloader, or any time I go from fastboot to bootloader, the phones screen comes up with a string of alerts, all having to do with searching for a p...86....img file or something to that effect. It keeps saying wrong image or not present
[HTC EVO 3D] izzy spun:
when I try to flash recovery, sometimes I get an error that says remote not allowed. the rest of the time, it gets stuck on sending recovery. It hangs there for several minutes, until I unplug it from the computer, then adb says error too many links

sorry for so many posts in a row, but I'm trying to get as much information as possible out there in the hopes that somebody will be able to help me figure this out.
[HTC EVO 3D] malevolentbratchny:
If you're still problematic, if the RUU you have, is a .exe and you're getting the battery error, make sure you have enough power, disconnect phone from pc, boot into bootloader, select fastboot then connect to pc. Wait for phone to say fastboot USB and then try running RUU. Good luck dude.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
I know this isn't quite an answer to your question, but to ease your nerves a little, the situation that you've described is NOT a bricked phone.

Charge the phone completely, run the RUU, and see what happens.

I was on the latest nightly build of CM7 with Clockwork Recovery. I wanted to try ICS Passion - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362961

It said I needed this bootloader - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117990

That said I needed to use Odin so I used this guide - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20666234#post20666234

I got into Download mode, and Odin recognized my phone and I tried to install the new Bootloader, then it said it "failed" and my phone's screen went from the download mode to a black screen. So I unplugged my phone and took out the battery and when I put it all in, I get this screen with a phone connected to a computer with the "!" sign inbetween. Nothing I do changes it. I need help, I need this phone for work. How do I fix this?

Thanks in advance. I know it's Christmas day, and I would really really appreciate anyone who would kindly give me some direction here.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exel:
ODIN should recognize your phone in the connect to computer screen, if you see a yellow COM in ODIN, you're good to go, flash back to stock.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knightsofwar210:
I've tried V3 and V4 and ODIN still does not see my phone. Do you have a link to the latest version? Should I have my phone connected when I run ODIN? I've tried running it when it is connected, and when it's not, and then connect it after ODIN has started. Thanks in advance!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exel:
Try this.

1. Turn your phone off.

2. Take battery, sim, sdcard out.

3. Hold volume up & down buttons.

4. Connect usb without letting go of the buttons.

5. Put the battery in, without letting go of the buttons.

See if you can get to download mode that way.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knightsofwar210:
You are an Android saver! Thank you so much!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moped_Ryder:
Future reference for those who red this - when you flash a boot loader UNCHECK "AUTO REBOOT". That way if it fails you can just try again.

I always uncheck it, if successful just hold the power button for 10sec for reboot.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knightsofwar210:
I was pretty sure I did uncheck it but oh well. xD

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
Ok I am seeing a few threads on people's impressions on the Prime. Some say theirs is completely fine, some say they have wifi/gps issues, some have stuttering, some have screen issues, etc. However, I feel that it is kind of hard to gauge how the Prime is doing due to certain thread titles attracting different people (IE: A thread called "GPS Issues" would attract negative impressions on the Prime while a thread called "Positive Transformer Prime Thread" would attract positive impressions).

So I thought I'd make a hopefully unbiased poll so people who want to buy the Prime (like me) won't have to read a thread full of people saying their GPS doesn't work and then go to another thread with people saying that their Prime works perfect.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] n11:
I voted 'Meets Expectations'. It's important to note that my expectations were pretty high.

I've had none of the reported issues. GPS took about 10 to 15 minutes and I took the TP outside to get the gps fix.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
it met my expectations, but my expectations are not unrealistic, so it did what i expected it to do.

i have some screen issues, but i'll just swap it out when gamestop gets some new stock in.

the real test for me will be how well ICS performs or if it's just another round of google overpromising and underdelivering.

to be clear, Honeycomb is the only real issue with the tablet, as honeycomb is a buggy piece of ****.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
i expected this be a replacement for my Acer a100 but I'm a bit disappointed with browser and not being able to play gameloft games that I've already paid for in the market. But overall an improvement.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
Right now I'd say it has met my expectations. You have to remember that Asus wanted this device to ship with ICS for a reason. I think they just wanted to keep their word of being first to the market with a tegra three tablet.So when ICS hits their actually should be a new thread for this.As this will be a entirely different tablet then.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
LOL wut. Today I was scrolling through Phandroid and they picked up my poll o_O. Awesome.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
Except they dropped 'below expectations' option, which makes it sound like it was put there by Asus employee :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tc8z:
It meets my expectations more than anything else. While it may not be fully optimized until ICS, it still is a great tablet to tinker with. I would say I'm still in the wait-and-see period as I do not have the dock and that is integral to how I plan to use the Prime. The minor internet lags do not bother me so much at the moment.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] talont101:

I realize this thread is anciet, but i'm having a similar issue.

So I rooted my Kindle Fire the other day, downloaded some apps and installed SU and Busybox. I have a few apps that have to have root access like Go-Launcher EX, but when I install the ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher it tells me I am not rooted. Is there a fix for this I haven't found in my searches yet? I know the KF is rooted, other apps that have to have root to function work fine.

Any help on this would be appreciated.
