It must be cables and / or PC issue.

Sent from the little guy
[Galaxy S II General] WarioNeila86:
It could be, of course.

I'm using two different cables and I have tested with two different computers... hope is ending... :crying:
[Galaxy S II General] gastonw:
I'm pretty sure it is.

All genuine?

Different odin versions as well?

Kies? properly closed before flashing?

No crappy antivirus messing things up?

Hi,

I've tried with Odin 3.04 and now I'm trying with Odin 1.85 it seems to be stopped at NAND write start, but the fail has not appeared yet.

I've uninstalled Kies but not the drivers so I think it can't be interfering.

Thanks for helping.
[Galaxy S II General] gastonw:
Clean uninstall kies and reinstall.

Think about flashing in on another laptop.

And kill all 4 kies applications.

If it fails, you can try the windoze thing. Neo will fill you up on that.

After you try and re try you without success then you must start thinking nand corruption thus pit file flashing (should be regarded as a last resort).

Hi,

I've tried several times. In fact, I've tried to flash a firmware with PIT file and it fails saying that repartition operation failed.

Maybe this could be a hw issue...
[Galaxy S II General] gastonw:
Well....you might need a mobo replacement now that you've flashed a wrong pit file...can you still get to DL mode or recovery?

Sent from the little guy
[Galaxy S II General] WarioNeila86:
Yes I can.

I can access download mode but any time I try to flash anything I get an error.

I have tried flashing with Odin (nand write start error) and with Heimdall.

What is mobo replacement?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all, Excuse me for my poor vocabulary, does someone can explain shortly what is a NAND ?

Does the Phistachio's flash procedure with [Recovery Package/ROM] will "format" the internal memory of my SG2 ?

Please note that the kernel http://www.mediafire.com/?65a5a59666hdopx seems to link to a 7z file that has a bad CRC with samfirmware.com password.....

Few days ago appeared a problem of dynamic langage with swiftkey, just after an error message about the database of root uninstaller, and then impossible to open the photo galery, with a message like "insuffisant memory space, etc..."

However there are 5Go of free space ....

So I run Avast and moved all important files from internal memory to the sdcard.

When I expected to move the backup files of MyBackupRoot the file manager looked like frozen. Impossible to move not to delete any file any more, and I can see plenty of corrupted files with very strange non alphabetic names inside the MyBackupRoot directory.

I tried with no success :

- to delete all files in internal memory from a pc connected by usb, nor from terminal emulator, I get the message that it is read only (in su)

- to format from android parameter

- to reboot in recovery mode, then to format with CWM (v3.15)

- to perform a fsck_msdos

- to reboot in recovery mode, to run a e2feck

the fsck sees those corrupted files but cannot delete with error message like I/O Error

My Galaxy S2 works fine, except the internal memory that cannot be written.....

my questions is : How can a unfreeze my internal memory ?

Thanks.

GT-I9100 Android 4.1.2

base I9100XXLS8

Kernel 3.0.31-Siyah-s2-v6.0b4+gm@ubuntu #57

[Galaxy S II General] Kevgretor:
Really a great job!
[Galaxy S II General] philippe.dc:
well... I've done some more experiences :

After some more tests using move command with RootBrowser apk I succeed to remove all internal memory containt except the "titi" directory with 398 corrupted files with non alphabetic name (some names have characters like ? or > so it seems difficult to remove them individualy...)

After that the format of the internal memory in recovery mode worked... => successful message in recovery mode and after mounting emmc the ls command gives an empty directory. I can even create a test directory.

But ! After rebooting I do not see anymore test but instead toto (with corrupted files) plus LOST.DIR and Android and .face, etc...

heu... /emmc in recovery mode should not be the same than /mnt/sdcard in normal running mode ?
[Galaxy S II General] gastonw:
Nand reffers to internal storage, if it's corrupted odin can't write INFO therefore can't flash whatever it is that you wanna flash.

If you guy can still get to DL mode and recovery, you're still good.

If you can only get to DL mode you can still try to flash a kernel (like siyah for I9100) to see if you can get to CWM.

Keep in mind that, as it is noted in the OP, PIT files should always be regarded as a last resort (when everything fails times 5).

[Galaxy S II General] Tijs991:
I guess i have a soft bricked phone. I can access download and recovery mode, but normaly i can get pass that first screen that says "Samsung GALAXY S II GT-I9100", and of course yellow triangle. It's soft bricked, isn't it?

I have Omega ROM v19.2 (4.1.2.) with Philz Kernel. By now, i found out that when i try to wipe dalvik cache, phone resets and again comes to that first screen. Because of that i can't flash another rom from recovery because in the proces of new instalation dalvik is wiped, and phone resets.

Should i try with wipe data/factory reset, or should i simply just go to flashing with ODIN? Could i have problems during flash because of that problem with dalvik cache wipe?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joshi87lol:
First of all, hi! since this is my first thread.

Im a user from the spanish forum htcmania.com and i thought of the following. Maybe you guys can help. I asked over there too.

We all know that lovely yellow triangle we get when we root and modify our stock mobiles kernell. I thought that instead of removing it, could there be a way to change that yellow triangle into a different image? I found many pages and threads with ways to remove it but none to change it. (Yes i did search before starting this thread)

I am no pro, and have no idea whatsoever, maybe its a very stupid question, but if its not and other people like the idea maybe someone who KNOWS could look into it!

Thanks :)

hello all, i rooted my a100 via the guide, and the root checker says its rooted, but i cannot get into shell. When i enable filesystem browsing, it won't allow me. Not even a prompt from su.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mvan4310:
Im having a similar problem. I can verify that su has been moved to system/xbin/su but busybox nor Superuser detects root... Ive used all guides I can find to work this.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mvan4310:
Tried with no results
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jondi23:
Did you update su binary?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mvan4310:
Educate me, If you mean by trying to use superuser and update it through the settings, it was a no go.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] BigGunn:
I had a similar problem. It was showing as being in the /system/xbin folder, but I didn't have root. In my case, I was failing to move the su file out of the folder after extraction and put it in the /mnt/sdcard directory so the commands were just creating a blank su file in /system/xbin
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mvan4310:
How did you go about fixing the issue?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] BigGunn:
After extracting the zip I moved the su file (the one with no extension) from the extracted folders and tried the lines in the terminal again and it worked.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mvan4310:
Ahh, Yea. Ive tried that already with no luck. It shows the file, roughly 25kb in the folder, but it also shows I have no root. Ive tried restarting, uninstalling superuser and reinstalling, etc...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] oneovakindoldys2:
did you ever get your tab rooted?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
Could you post what build number your running, also after you've run the commands for copying over the su and download superuser from the market, if you open terminal emulator up and type su what does it output?

Have you tried this???

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21409649&postcount=177
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] joeyxl:
yes, after i did what the guide told me to do. i have the latest version of Honeycomb given out via OTA update. now in superuser, i didnt update it, as it fails evey time. also, when i type "su" into terminal, nothing happens. im trying to put the build.prop that was modded recently, so i can get an app made for gingerbread onto here, as well as getting a PS3 controller to connect, but both need root. i just dont understand why the root checking app says i have it, when i really dont. guess it just checks for the su file in xbin? i really hope someone can point me in the right direction :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
First, I really need to know the build number "the latest one the ota can give" isnt sufficiant. It can be found under settings -> about tablet toward the bottom.

Second, saying "nothing happens" isnt true.. something always happens... either it just spit out another line with $ or the next line showed up with a #. How long did it take for the next line to show up after you typed su in the terminal?

The more details you can provide, the better I can help... this isnt directed at the above poster but all users in general.

One thing you might want to try is to uninstall the superuser app, then run this command:

/system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch '`rm /system/xbin/su`'

and then go back through the root process (or use my quick root script). The above command will get rid of any bad su file that might be in /system/xbin.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mvan4310:
Build Acer_A100_2.007.04_COM_GEN1

Upon typing in su in the terminal, is shows another line with $. Ive tried your ten second root yesterday looking for other options, but it says permission denied, even when trying to run from other directories. Ive even opened the root.sh file and copied the whole file and pasted in the term and every command gives a permission denied but the 3 commands that you see everywhere else. when typing in ls -l /system/xbin/su I get around 26000 bytes. So the file is there.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
Can you try the attached su binary. I don't recall where I got it from since is been a while but I've had issue with 2.3.2 su binary before and the attached is what I use to root mine.

Hi,

I rooted my phone and installed superuser etc, and the 1st release of ICS on the device which in doing so, unrooted my device.. not to bothered.. now i want to remove super user and im finding it a bit impossible so far.

I originally user super one click but now it just freezes on me, im guessing because of ics?

How do i either remove superuser OR can some one point me in the right direction to flash it back to stock.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dessi_007:
go to nexusshacks.com and you can find a tut on how to root ur device and then revert to stock.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jithinsarath:
1.Connect your Phone to PC and get into bootloader mode.

2. Download CWM 5.2.0.2 for NexusS from here.

3. Download the stock rom for your device from here

4. Use "fastboot flash recovery <cwm_file_name.img>" to flash the correct version.

5. Reboot into recovery and you will now have the correct CWM.

6. Install the Rom that you downloaded at step 3.

You now have a stock, unrooted Nexus S

Optional:

1. You can download superuser.zip and flash it as step 7. Once you reboot you will have a stock, rooted rom.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jithinsarath:
Tom, I guess we could just root your phone in ICS! If you have the proper files downloaded, it would take hardly 10 minutes to get your phone back to stock.

If you can give me the model name, I can point you to the files that you have to download. NO need to put up your phone for sale :D

PS: When you go to stock, you may need to do a factory reset and thus lose all data.

What do you do for step 6 if you have a D720? And if you backup a stock rom with CWM and then update to ICS w/ custom kernel, can you revert to your stock backup at that point?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jithinsarath:
D720 huh? AFAIK, I guess the latest that you have is GWK74 - Android 2.3.7. No ICS yet. But there are custom ROM's I believe.

If you have a CWM backup of the stock, you CAN restore it after ICS upgrade. Make sure you do a full wipe.

I just went through this process and thought this might help:

I have been using NexusBeam and was tired of the random reboot. So I decided to go back to stock on my Nexus S 9020T.

These are the steps I have done:

1. nandroid backup working nexusbeam

2. downloaded stock Android 4.0.3/IML74K/XXKI1 Radio/KL1 Bootloader from here

3. Flashed it in recovery

Now I have kernel

3.0.8-gb55e9ac

android-build @apa28 #1

Build IML74K

and I donot have a recovery (as expected).

4. flashed clockwork recovery 5.0.2.0 using fastboot (tutorial here)

Now I have the recovery I wanted.

5. flashed superuser 3.0.7

and voila !

This was the rom:

All good - the cache clear trick worked after the 10th attempt. Now downloading... 4.0.4 so I am on stock after all?

For anyone trying to trigger the update suggest you need to be connected to WiFi (says until the 8th April) and clear the cache a few times on the Google Services service.

Use odin to reflash. Search for your model than download everything and follow guide or if you have backup on your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkrued:
Hold on, you are not totally bricked as such, if your phone can still boot up like that there is still much life in it. in this case Odin is your buddy. Download your stock firmware according to your region (im not sure if im allowed to post links to other sites, so i wont),

Download Odin (find out how to use it, with the PIT file and your Stock ROM)

Launch Odin (from your PC ofcoz)

Switch off your phone by removing the battery

Put the battery back in, hold HOME button + Volume Down + then POWER button, Your phone should go into download mode.

Connect you phone to the PC using your USB cable, (odin should highlight a yellow square to signal you that your phone has been detected)

Put all the file you downloaded into thier rightful place and then flash.

I have just jumbled it up to give you a general direction, there should be more detailed infor on this site, keep looking and good luck

plug in ur usb cable and wait while odin checks ur phone

flash ur phone back to stock
