Not in the middle of a flash, been working fine all day. Tried four spare batteries but doing nothing. Won't go into bootloader. Any ideas appreciated... :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Bronyr:
Take the battery, sim and micro sd out. Now hold the power button down, as if attempting to turn it on. Release after 7-10 sec. Put it all together attempt to reboot. Make sure your battery is at least somewhat charged, even if you're plugged into charger.
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
naw he tried diffent battreys hmm well good new is you can get a new one lol

charge bat for a hr or so just to make sure pull out sim sd and bat then try hboot if nothing call tmoble and tell them it wont turn on

DO NOT TELL THEM YOU WERE FLASHING IT

they will do there thing "wont work" they will send a replacemnt

stick to your guns that you didnt do anything ack dumb

most reps know we flash phone

Thanks for the replies guys. I gave up shortly after starting the thread. I took out the sim, sd and battery and put it on charge overnight, then went to bed. Got up this morning, put in the stock battery and switched it on and it worked. Not sure what was going on but I'm back in the game.

Cheers all! :)
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
They do this from time to time. Before I rooted mine, it did this on day one. I tried to make a call and found it was off. It wouldnt turn on. I kept trying and trying. I pulled the battery, took out SIM, the whole works. I was about to CHAT with Tmobile (since my phone was dead) and then it came on after a 15sec power button hold.

Im on my 3rd phone and all three did/do this crap from time to time.

I know that our phones are blocked domestically, but maybe Sprint forgot to block this Prepaid GSM carrier?

You do that via office.live.com, using the OneNote web app. I'm not sure if it actually updates in real tome or not, you might have to do manual refreshes. Basically, create a new note on SkyDrive, then open the Office hub on your phone and open that note.

How can it not work if it freezes or if we remove the file?
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
You can remove the file, change the file, Freeze it, remove it's permissions whatever you want, but it will NOT stop an OTA update because the process that does the update creates a new one when it it needs it.

Probably. I had de-registered my Kindle prior to the 6.2.1 update and I did not get the update, even though it was out for a few days and my wifi was on / tablet was being extensively used during those days.

I did get the 6.2 update before I de-registered. So almost certainly, the de-registration helped.

It seems to me that when an individual registers amazon uses that mac address for sending the update.... I could be wrong so please do not think that I am saying this is entirely true but, if all of these methods are confirmed as not working such as freexzing,removing apps, etc... then there has to be somesort of way that amazon is still able to update to your fire...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
Interesting... When flashing the ROM, do you have a .PIT file + ticked Re-partition in ODIN? If not, try that.

Here's the download for stock firmware, straight from SamFirmware (XXKI3, Open Europe, 2.3.5) : http://hotfile.com/dl/130600047/b70801e/I9100XXKI3.rar.html
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwatson:
I have found a PIT file ~ u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit I don't know where it came from though? it exists in a folder on my desktop where Odin is placed. Do you think that will be safe?

I've never flashed with Re-partition ticked in odin. I've read that is dangerous. Is this defo safe to do?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
Yes, it is dangerous when you don't know what you're doing. Be VERY careful when around .PITs.

But I have soft bricked my GSII 3 times, and I have flashed KH3 recovery package thrice, WITH the .PIT. The .PIT is just to be as fresh and stock as possible.

Download the package I gave you. But also, what are you trying to flash?

Just to be safe, don't use the .PIT that you "found". The name's the same as in the pack I gave you, but better than than sorry ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwatson:
I was trying to flash stock

GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKF3_I9100XXKE7_I9100XEUKD1.TAR in PDA

I'm just downloading the file you posted. Will this package include the PIT?

Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
Anytime :)

Yes, it will include the .PIT, aswel as MODEM, CODE and CSC (which should be multi).

Also, just to make sure, uninstall KIES. It may interfere on the flashing process + it's useless :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwatson:
9 mins to go till the file has downloaded...

So just to be sure i need to flash the PIT, Modem, Code and CSC all together with re-partition ticked?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
Yes :) Do you know where to place each one of them? Let's hope it doesn't end up hard bricked :p

But before you do ANYTHING, can you go into recovery mode (vol. up+home+power)? If so try to wipe user data and cache.

If that doesn't work, try to normally turn on, and if it bootloops, remove the battery.

PS : I am not liable to any damage that may occur ;) Although I've tested myself and all went OK :) (With KH3, but it's mainly the same thing ;))
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwatson:
yeah i know where to put them. I can't enter recovery though. It just loops on boot screen. Will this be a problem if i can't wipe data?

Downloaded file asking for a password?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
Nope, because the .PIT + Re partition will do the job :)

Now this is weird... I have never seen a flash failed when using a .PIT...

I'm sorry to say this, but I think your GSII is hard bricked... :( Try to flash another 2 times, the same thing.

What it seems is that the NAND got corrupted somehow... And isn't letting ODIN flash properly...

Obrigado pela vossa ajuda. Feliz Ano Novo!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
The last thing that comes to mind is... To flash a stock kernel (preferably KI3 Stock Kernel) from Intratech's thread. If successful, flash the the recovery package again. If unsuccessful, as a last resort, flash the old bootloader provided in his thread aswell (follow his instructions!), and if successful, flash the KI3 package I gave you again. That may screw up the GSII's mind and make it work :p

As it is unfortunately hard bricked, I'm giving out all options that come to my mind :o

De nada :p! I wish you a joyful new year aswell :)

In a less confusing manner :

1. Flash KI3 Stock Kernel from Intratech'a thread.

2. Flash Recovery package

3. If recovery package is not flashed, re flash the stock kernel

4. Flash old bootloader provided in the same thread

5. If it boots, then yay. If not :

6. Re flash the recovery package.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
With that "guide", I want to exploit the fact that you can root a kernel, so if you root a stock kernel, you get lucky...

Also, are you sure you put the stuff in the right place? .PIT -> PIT, Code -> PDA, Modem -> Phone, CSC -> CSC and ticked Re-partition, Auto Reset and F.Timer reset (irst 3)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwatson:
Yep.. thats what i did.. Screen shot for you in case you can spot anything? Defo kies not running as you can see from the screen shot.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
Use a different USB port on your PC. Try to use one of the Ports on the rear of your case and not the ones on the front or top of the case.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwatson:
Tried different ports. Still no luck.. During the flash process is tries to boot the goes to fail.

It not like i can send this back as it has a count of 7 custom downloads.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjcks:
You shouldn't be using any PIT files while installing any SGS2 roms, they are dangerous if you don't know what your doing.

You shouldn't be re-partitioning anything either!

Go & grab a normal 1 file TAR rom, put it into the PDA section, untick re-partition and remove the pit file.

Infact , don't change any of the default settings, just put the 1file, in the PDA section.

Put your phone into download mode, as soon as odin recognizes your phone, click start.

Once finished, go into recovery and wipe all data & cache partition.

Reboot.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:

Thank you
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graemeg:
Go for it friend, i had a streak and eventually broke the screen, still looking for another streak for spare parts, but compared, the streak cant match the note, it clocks 4000 on Quadrant just on a standard rom with no tweaks, the amount of roms and customisation options are far better than the streaks.

Battery life is great, i tether mine and its fast, i get download speeds in excess of 900kbps tethered, i use it as my main phone, play games, and i still get 2 days out of it heavy usage.

Its so smooooootttthhhhhh compared to the streaks clumsy browsing, and definitley more powerful memory wise, god ive got tons of apps installed and no need to use memory optomisers at all, even with everything running im still showing 400mb+ showing, if i task kill em it gets up to 600mb+, youll never get that on a streak lol.

I was dubious, samsung, picking up where dell left of, hmmmmm, but i went for it and no regrets, and i got a brilliant passport style free leather case with it that i didnt even ask for, im sold, bye bye dell.

And if none of that sells it, then the one thing that should is, ICS, were getting ics in the uk, ota update, starting january, and lets face it, Youre always gonna be up to date with samsung, Dell oughta be ashamed of themselves the way they abandoned streak owners.
