[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cdub5:
Definitely the USB port is screwed. I'm on my third phone cuz of this issue. First guy at best buy said it was probably because I wasn't using stock launcher. Whatever. Second replacement was easier, just a young girl who never even looked at my phone, and just gave me a new one. I did go to a different best buy second time to avoid possibly getting another phone from a bad batch. I've posted on other threads on this issue about the fact that this problem might be caused by the lack of a cover over the USB port. Maybe i'm wrong, but it seems to easy for junk to get in there. If you can't flash back to stock via computer, you can try mobile Odin, however I ended up soft bricking my phone trying to run the stock Odin one click via drop box through mobile Odin. Don't know if file didn't completely DL through drop box, but I couldn't fix soft brick since I couldn't connect phone to comp using the USB port. Long story short, my advice, flash stock while you still can, and keep it that way cuz the problem most likely won't go away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iqak:
Additional info:

I performed a factory data reset (from the settings screen) prior to re-loading the unbrick/return to stock ROM. Also wiped all three memory areas prior to the rom.

Last night the Driving mode Icon and V-Lingo kept popping back up as if I were connected to a car adapter. I have no use for either as I have no car adapter yet (was at home). No cable was attached at the time and the phone was sleeping. This occurred a half dozen times or so.

I also randomly receive the USB connected icon despite having nothing connected to the phone. Says MTP-Initialization.

Odin 3 worked yesterday without any issue. Droid explorer also appears to work but Kies has refused to connect since the event, even with the New years update. The Win7 pc randomly recognizes the phone. Sometimes it's ok, but mostly it does not show up at all with the pc saying "USB device not recognized...".

With USB Debugging turned on, Kies says:

"Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (PC Studio) mode.Current mode not supported by Kies."

I switched USB debugging off 1st thing this morning and it looks like Kies USB is working ok now.

Kies Air works like a champ.

Still think the USB Port is dorked. Probably the USB controller chip as I don't think I have any physical looseness. I really wish USB connectors were longer and deeper with screwed attachments to the motherboard in addition to the soldering.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iqak:
Correct me if I am wrong here, but I thought that the "Driving / V-Lingo Mode" is Hardware triggered and it is not possible to trigger this mode with any software. At least that is the impression I got by reading the car cable connection cable discussions.

More fuel for the bad USB port fire?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iqak:
Since the multiple wipes and return to stock, I do not think I've had an event from sleeping to hard crash / reboot required.

Still having wake-ups and spurious driving mode activation's both plugged in and unplugged. This may or may not be accompanied by the V-Lingo, terms prompt.

Prior to going back when the replacement battery fails to improve things....

Can I kill / Delete everything on the phones internal SD memory?

Not thinking,.. I still had the Titanium Backup directory along with Clockwork Mod etc. still on the phone when I brought the phone to the service center. Had they checked the phone directory, I could have lost warranty, etc.

Any other directories I should look for?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iqak:
Just Realized I had not stated my Hardware Level.

Model: SAMSUNG-SGH-I777

Android Version: 2.3.6

Baseband Version: I777UCKK6

Kernel: 2.6.35.7

Build No. GINGERBREAD.UCKK6

Still getting spurious wakes with the USB port thinking:

It's connected to a PC.

It's connected to the car

or V-Lingo launches thinking I'm about to take a trip.

All of these occur with nothing connected at all, and typically the phone is sleeping. Still have not had a repeat Hard crash since the wipes and return to stock.

Do we have enough of a known hardware history here to know / avoid certain builds?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] autonomous-inc:
No. Not much effort has been put into figuring the faulty USB port out. Entropy and I even hashed it out in Q&A, both of us thinking it might have been the software. Truth is, you'll probably find more info in the international SGS II community than here, as more were sold, and our SGH I777 was discontinued only a month or two after being brought to the market.

Because it hasn't been reported on much, no one has thought to start observing the hardware for faults. You should consider doing so - I can tell you some information on my phone model later, after I remove the battery and such. Maybe shoot GTX or Entropy a PM to ask them for tips on identifying different hardware models and state why you're interested. As I said, I'll post my info on my new replacement, and observe it to see if the same problem occurs as it did in the last one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Here's a link to the thread I started when mine went tango uniform:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1369647

I mentioned at one point about looking at device serial numbers to attempt to track bad hardware, but I'm not sure if that info is safe to post online when not coupled with device imei. I would think it is safe, but not sure.

Unfortunately I don't know if I can track down the info on my defective phone now, since it has been gone for several weeks.

Also: I was under the impression that the i777 had in fact NOT been discontinued, only not stocked in COR stores in LTE markets. I'd be interested in documentation on the discontinuation if you can provide it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iqak:
Wow, your thread has quite a few similarities.

With the exception of the ROM selections, the device responses appear to mimic my own dead on. I was on "update-unnamed-v1.0.4-full" when the issue reared its head. Jumped to v2.0.1 to see if it helped, but again, I seriously doubt this issue is ROM related.

I'm still waiting for the "overnight-ed" battery.

I expect it will arrive tomorrow. With any luck I can grab it from home at lunch and charge it at the office. Put an effort into trying it at least.

That pushes my eventual return out till Wednesday evening / Thursday morning. I'll be sure to get the serial number data from it before it goes back.

Would it be insecure of me to post the old serial number data after the exchange?

I'm wondering if charging device, cable or PC could have had something to do with the failure. Pretty sure the cable was stock, but the plug may have been a logitech. This arrangement had been used nightly since launch date, so I doubt it.

Electronic chips can do some funny things. I'm fairly certain the port itself is still firmly attached.

As always, thanks for everybody's help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Yeah, there are a couple other threads buried pretty deep on general that have similar behavior as well. I tried to track them for a while but I hadn't realized how full that thread is when I dug back to find mine.

As far as posting S/Ns online after return, I don't see how it could be a problem, as it would no longer be associated with your account. I'm not even sure this would be useful in tracking though...wishing someone with more knowledge of Sammy hardware would chime in to let us know what the useful info would be. I've only been on Samsung stuff since I got the SGS2 in Oct. - HTC Aria before that.

As far as I know my failed USB port had no physical damage to it - I had never dropped that device, and the plug "felt" fine physically when in use. My guess is a bad batch of ports from Sammy's hardware supplier (either that or ALL the ports are sketchy...).

I don't know where to go online to try to track hardware returns of devices by failure mode - or if that info is even available. The prevalence of it within the i777 forum here scares me a little. I haven't done the math, but I would guess if, say, 4 of us who are active here had a failure, that's a pretty high percentage for this "small" population. I'd say Samsung would have a pretty serious issue if the return rate for this failure was this high a percentage across the board. Since the majority of users here were early adopters, I'm inclined to think maybe it was a problem only in an early batch of devices...

Battery Arrived Yesterday.

The only noticeable difference is it's a November battery instead of my original September.

As suspected, no change in the USB port behaviors, so I'm heading back into AT&T again this afternoon. I'm still on the unbrick/return mod and just deleted the Superuser files.

What about the ClockworkMod Directory.

Is it safe to delete the clockworkmod directory now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iqak:
OK, New replacement phone.

Free extra battery.

now I'm into the rebuilding process.

Currently rooted, without CWM, on 2.3.6 using this process:

I also have Mobile odin loaded via:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1347899

I don't think I know how to use this and I'm not sure I need it.

I'm trying to get rid of the bloat and make my way back to the Unammed rom v2.2.1, but I think I need CWM to get there. I have a jig, so bumping the counter concerns me not, unless the Jig has been obsoleted.

What should I do next? :confused:

It feels like 2.3.6 has made things more difficult than before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iqak:
On the old phone:

I deleted the CWM directory fine.

Deleted the three SuperUser Files.

Deleted the Titanium Backup directory (wanted no signs of root).

Exchanged and received a new phone.

On the way home OTA updated the phone to 2.3.6.

Rooted the replacement phone.

Loaded Odin mobile.

Figured out how to get ClockWorkMod back into the phone.

Used CWM to load Unammed V2.2.1.

OTA 2.3.6 appears to have killed my Bluetooth keyboard.

2.3.6 also appears to eat more juice, although I have yet to reconfigure my Juice defender, so that satement is not yet qualified.

Catching my breath, before I figure how to get back to the previous 2.3.4.

Is there a simple way to do this?

It sounds like I need to factory wipe again and start all over.

Love this phone.

Hope I'm helping....

I've had mysterious power offs a few times, but only when plugged in in the car. My car cuts the power to the lighter socket while cranking, I think the key on > power, cranking > no power, key back to run > power again freaked it out and the phone said 'I quit!' :p

Hi there,

Got a nice bootanimation from my DesireHD period.

Tried to resize it to 800 x 1280 and edited the txt file that goes with it, with the appropriate resolution of 800 x 1280 of the new bootanimation, and zipped it.

But doesn't work.

Please explain me how you did it or where I could find howto.

Once I succeed, I'll post my bootanimation here too :)

Hi there,

Well, as far as my knowledge goes on Samsung devices, downanimations are impossible.

To be certain though, I tried to renaming a working bootanimation to downanimation as you mentioned (and which works indeed on HTC's). I wonder if you tried it yourself?

And now I can say for certain, that the animation doesn't show during shut down. The trick doens't work.

for any version of this you have to be rooted and have access to the particular folder with the root setting activated. If that doesn't make sense to you, look into rooting your phone first.

Hi guys,

I've tried doing it manually using root manager (set /system/media to RW and copy bootanimation.zip in), and automatically using "Boot Animation Changer Pro" and it makes absolutely no difference.

My phone seems to completely ignore the bootanimation zip file.

My phone is rooted and has superuser installed but has stock kernel.

versions are:

2.3.6

N7000XXLA4

And I've tried 5 different bootanimations and none have worked at all.

Phone is completely unlocked and was bought outright and not from a carrier.

Can anyone make any suggestions please? (could it be permission issues?)

Hi all,

Now that I have the tardis bootanimation running great (thanks BTW) I am now trying to get the sound working.. so I created PowerOn.wav and tried sticking it in /system/etc as well as /system/media/ui

didn't work.

then I noticed that samsung used an ogg in /system/etc called Power_on.ogg so I made one and stuck it in there.. (my phone has not been playing the samsung started sound since I put the Cfroot kernel on) Still isn't working..

So with the cfroot applied, can anyone tell me what format the sound should be, what the file should be called and where in the file system I should put it?

many thanks

People should be made aware that boot animations do not work with some kernels, e.g., speedmod. It would be a good idea for the OP to list the kernels and roms that are not compatible so that users don't have to fiddle around trying to make it work when it will not work with their setup. The inexperienced users could ruin their current setup trying to do the impossibe.
