[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suzuki2004:
Hi all

I bought a new Galaxy SII and unfortunately discovered lately that it is GT-I9100G. I rooted the device successfully with no issues. My cousin told me about a good ROM (without knowing about compatibility issue) he sent it through his I9100 device's Wifi. when I booted my device from the discovery mode and followed all the steps to install the ROM I failed to have my device up. It keeps showing the dead screen (the yellow triangle) with no luck :(

I read a lot of posts related to this issue I found that it is possible to fix by removing the battery and putting it back, connecting the device to the USB cable and then booting it in Download mode but again it failed !! :confused:

Now my device is dead since more than a month ago and my PC is not discovering it even. Please help to get my device alive :(​
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ITRC:
You'd better read BEFORE flashing something... now you have to read A LOT for the finding a solution.

Are you sure your battery is charged enough?? Cause you said 'since a month'

Maybe it's bricked for ever...​
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suzuki2004:
My battery is full.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ITRC:
Ok, have you got KIES and ODIN on your PC? So your device can be recognized by odin. Then flash a stock rom from the forum ... Read How To flash with ODIN. (not the mobile version)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suzuki2004:
I have KIES and ODIN but when I connect my device to PC .. ODIN cannot recognize it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ITRC:
Make sure KIES is not running at the back and that the Samsung USB driver is installed. Maybe delete KIES, install again but not updating KIES. Restart PC, fire up odin and put your phone to usb ... wait if you see the ID:COM turns yellow. If so, you can flash again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhhans1:
Can you be more specific..your phone can enter in download mode?

Did you try on other computer to check ondin/kies connectivity?

Odia (all credits goes to him) wrote on another semi bricked phone this:

Uninstall the Samsung USB Driver from Control Panel

START/Control Panel/Programs and Features

Select "SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones" and then uninstall

reboot your PC and then re-install the Samsung USB Driver from:-

C:\Program Files\Samsung\Kies\USB Driver

and run "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe"

Doing that will make sure there is no USB driver corruption.

(PS. is on a pc with widowsn7)

hope that it will help you to recover ur device.

Best regards
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatjivi:
Ur options r:-

if phone can enter download mode then use odin to flash correct rom

If it doesnt work then pull out the battery connect phone to charger ...hold buttons for entering download mode and while holding the buttons put the battery in

If this doesnt work buy a usb jig and then while u have the battery pulled out put in the jig and then put in the battery and see if it enters download mode

If none of these things work then my friend ur phone is completely hard bricked

Ur only options r to go to samsung guys n get it repaired there...if they give u crap about losing ur warranty coz u flashed a custom rom then its better to go for jtag repair as that will be cheaper than the amount samsung guys r gonna ask for repair
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suzuki2004:
Thank you very much fatjivi. You solved my problem. My device is alive now :)

I followed your second "if" .. I pulled out the battery . held the buttons for entering the download mode and while holding the buttons I put the battery back :)

Thanx also to ITRC & hhhans1 who tried their best in resolving my issue.

I really appreciate it guys :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhhans1:
glad to have it back alive...SGS2 is such a great device,...almost cannot be bricked....from this samsung did a great job..

what a tragedy​
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ml_boston:
I'm noticing that changes I make to /system/bin get undone upon reboot on stock 5589 software.

My particular change is the wpa_supplicant ad hoc fix.

I used terminal to rename the old file to wpa_supplicant.back and put my new file in.

It works fine, I can connect to ad-hoc wifi fine, until I reboot. After reboot, the backup is gone, and the old file is back to it's original spot (breaking wifi).

I'm using temporary root under z4root if that makes a difference.

Anyone have any ideas, is there some type of "system restore" functionality in 5589 that refreshes system/bin upon startup?

Any workarounds if I want to remain on stock?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
You shouldn't replace binaries while they're being used. Install CWM and use it to do the switch. Make sure you remount /system read-only afterwards.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ml_boston:
The file wasn't in use, as I was able to run adhoc wifi (meaning the replace worked) until I rebooted.

I think I found the problem, from

this

link:

So I've got to learn how to build an img file with my one swapped file. Or perhaps (will try soon and post back), deleting the recovery.img file will also do the job.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Unless the wifi was switched off or put into airplane mode or something like that as the default state, I assure you that the wpa_supplicant binary would've been in use. It's how modern Unixes work.

Most of the specific details in that link a) either isn't relevant to your specific problem and/or b) does not apply to the gTab and the ROMs that run on it. For example, in the quote you pulled:

Here,

1. There is no /system/recovery.img file on the stock ROM.

2. The quote talks about restoring "recovery"--not "system". Plus, those 2 partitions have radically different sizes (16 MB max for "recovery" and 200MB max for stock "system"). Think about what would happen to the boot times if a 200MB image had to be restored on every boot.

So, my advice is unchanged. Install CWM temporarily, then use it to switch the binary, and finally, sync and unmount /system before rebooting out of CWM. You can always restore the stock recovery using the recovery.img file in the 5699 update zip file from within CWM.

According to SamMobile it didn't come through KIES!

Can you confirm that it came via KIES?
[Galaxy S II General] SiSL:
Actually just opened KIES and saw the update. Yes, that is confirmed via KIES, not a beta rom etc.

However I downloaded it from Check Fus Update for Mobile Odin stuff...
[Galaxy S II General] Shomi87:
i still w8 for 2.3.6 on kies -.-
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
This is nothing but localizations for a build that was released months ago, if it is even that. It's probably just Kies getting flagged to release XWKK2 to Turkish users who aren't able to just flash a newer build themselves. (Basically, not of much interest/use for anyone here on XDA...)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mshdk:
Hi

I have setup my SE xperia mini pro (2.3.4) to use a patternlock screen, but I would like the timeout to be slower than the screen timeout so that I can quickly respond to replies and other stuff if the phone is in use.

So what I am looking for is a setting to do something like this:

Screen times out after two minutes and turnsoff but the pattern lock only activates after 15 minutes so that I can quickly turn the screen on when somebody instantly replies to a message.

Can I set that up? It was possible on the iphone I had before.

I'm running an un-modded MIUI ROM from MIUI[dot]us and basically the battery drain is becoming an issue to which I assume its kernel and theme related. Basically has anyone got any suggestions to a compatible battery saving kernel that can aid my issue? Whilst I was on the phone now for 30 minutes it apparently used 40% battery. Thanks for the help in advance :)

Use the Battery Calibration App from the market. IT wtll fix your battery stats after flashing.

I noticed it too. One week ago I was using gingerbread, which the battery lasted for about 24 hours with the same use as now with MIUI [ICS] 4.0.3 that lasts for about 18 hours.

I calibrated the battery two times, it helped a bit.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
I've had my cell phone for 6 months now and have only dropped it once. In the last two days I've managed to drop my prime twice!! Lol on concrete even. Both times it was in the case and both times it was fully covered and didn't even take a scratch! For someone who normally isn't clumsy this thing is easy to drop!

The case I bought is very thin and doesn't take much away from the stock feel of the device. When I'm at home I usually take it out but I would highly reccomend a case if you take your prime out of the house!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ride525:

[General Questions and Answers] Celadur:
Did a quick search, found nothing to answer my question.

I'm wondering if there's an app, specifically a 4x1 widget, that I can use to update my status on social networking sites. I'm not interested in reading other peoples updates (I'll go into the appropriate app for that); I simply want something akin to the google search bar.

So far the best thing I've found is TweetDeck, but it's far from the prettiest duckling. Before anyone mentions it, 'Simple Status Widget' is a ghastly, low-res pop-up.

If there's nothing knocking around then I guess I'll try my hand at making one :)

Been thinking about this for a while. It's understandable with phones. companies don't want you to tether and not pay them that extra $40 fee per month. But why does a company like asus want to break our root? What possible advantage could bring to them for not allowing us root? I just don't get it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infazzdar:
The only reason I can think of, people modifying their tablet then sending it in for ASUS to replace when they brick it.

It's people like these that don't take the time to ask questions and Google for answers. It's a user's responsibility to know exactly what they are getting in to when they decide to modify their device.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcbyte_it:
The question is why did Asus decide to unlock the Transformer Prime (after all the web initiatives) very soon, and is not doing it for the Transformer (TF101)?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckuke4:
The main reason for wanting consumers to not root their tablets is for things like watching movies from the Android market which will not work on a rooted tablet. I still don't agree with it, as long as we the consumer understand and still want our devices rooted, then companies like Asus should allow this and stop making it hard. The average person not on XDA doesn't even know what rooting is, so why make it difficult for people who like to tinker with hardware that we paid good money for.

I think HTC has it right, if you want to unlock your bootloader they let you do it on their website. Let Asus know that we want this too. Personally I won't buy a phone or tablet without being able to root it. I don't buy phones on contract and want to do what I please with them. I have been using HTC phones for many years because they have always been XDA friendly :)

As long as we have the ability to have nvflashable ROMs then we don't have to worry about bricking our devices so Asus shouldn't have to worry about things like that either. Cheers.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
Another issue has also been raised by the Win8 boot locking crapola. Namely maliciousness.

If only one entity can screw with the firmware, it is harder for e.g. a virus to screw with it, hopefully becomes almost as hard as loading home brew firmware. Imagine Moron20X installing Hot Naked Chix off PirateMarket, and it flashes hacked firmware with a keylogger onto their tablet - then have your "Support" people sweet talk Moron20X into a factory reset, and steal all his logins. Wouldn't work for a lot of people but hell, just look at how many people must fall for Nigerian e-mail scams and Western Union Screw Overs per capita if Wikipedia has such a thick article on 419 scams.

My word...I don't want to think about how many times my mother has brought me something and asked if it was 'legit', with an American address and a Canadian cheque. \o/.

Truth is though, unless these things are really owned by someone else (like say your company), users should have the choice. IMHO it's good for business to lock this stuff, as long as you can like input your SN and get an unlock for a nominal fee.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
This is a false statement, atleast in my recourse it's bogus. I've watched "The Christmas Story" on my ROOTED TF101 and I've let my daughter watch a couple Disney Movies.

I will say that it breaks HDMI mirroring when i try to watch something via the market on my TV, but i can watch the movie on my tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Triplanetary:
This is pretty much it, as far as I can tell. As the original post said, carriers have obvious interests (whether or not I agree with them) in maintaining control of your phone. But we want our tablets, which aren't bound to a contract with a service provider in order to function, to be more like our Windows PCs - largely under our complete control.

Which is understandable. And I feel the same way. But then, you know full well how secure Windows is[n't]. Android has a great track record so far with preventing malware and viruses from getting out into the wild in a big way, and the manufacturers probably feel that locked bootloaders and root restriction is the reason. I'm not certain I agree - Android has some good safeguards that go way beyond root - but whatever.

Ultimately, it's about user behavior. My Windows computer doesn't get viruses, because I know how to prevent that. But your average user doesn't, and when you connect a compromised computer (or tablet, or whatever) to the Internet, it endangers everyone, responsible and irresponsible alike.

Ultimately I don't agree with the top-down control imposed by Asus and the rest of the manufacturers, but from that perspective I guess it makes sense.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
It's MAFIAA mostly. Asus even admitted it - saying it's because of DRM. If they can push ACTA in my country with such force our Prime Minister ignores massive demonstrations (something very uncommon in Poland) in -20 Celsius why wouldn't they push for closing up devices so they can "protect" their movies. It's because of Netflix and such - which doesn't even work outside US.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ERamseth:
My phone is waking up quite a bit overnight while I'm sleeping. How do I find out what app or process is waking the phone up and keeping it awake?

In the attached screen shot, the phone was sitting, screen off, for about 8 or more hours but as you can see there are non trivial stretches of awake time.

For reference, I have gmail, google calendar, and google contacts set to sync; was signed into google talk; have an exchange server set to sync email and calendar once an hour; and beautiful widgets set to sync weather once an hour. All that said, those stretches if awake time seem longer than it would take to pull email or weather. Maybe I'm wrong on that though?

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virtualcertainty:
If you really, really want to be systematic about tracking down what is draining your battery or keeping the phone awake then I would go back to nearly an out-of-the-box state. Uninstall all your apps (if you're really hardcore then do a factory reset). See how it handles overnight unplugged in that pristine state. Then install your essential stuff that you listed in your post - exchange, gmail, calendar and see how that goes during night two. Night by night add just a few apps and watch for changes. That is just about the only way to definitively track down what configuration or app or combination of apps is causing you problems.
