[HTC EVO 3D] coachabower:
Hey guys,

I've had my evo 3d rooted for a while, but have been going through some crazy stuff in life and just didn't care about my phone for a while.

What that means here is that I'm a bit unsure exactly what the last thing I did to the phone was.

My issue started as a wifi hotspot issue...it would throw an error every time I tried to activate it, but I didn't really NEED it, so I procrastinated.

Later I found I can't even connect to an existing wifi network, it just says error.

I was going to try some different kernel/rom options now that I care a bit more, but now my device is not being recognized through adb.

fastboot boot recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.3.img just sits saying <waiting for device>

With the phone on and usb debugging enabled, adb devices returns an empty list.

I really don't want to brick it, and I have been searching for a solution going on a week now but I just haven't been able to find much. I have 2 kids, school, and work so I just decided doing this post was my best bet.

Current configuration:

Evo 3D hboot 1.5

ViperRom Redline 2.1.1

froyo 2.3.4, sense 3.0

2.6.35.13-ck3+

ziggy471@infectedrom #101911

SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 19 06:17:01 EDT 2011

0.97.10.0808

2.08.651.3 CL130920 release-keys

1.24_003

21081

My goal in a perfect situation is to get ICS and re-root with wifi and hotspot working. The wifi and hotspot are what I really care about atm though, I haven't really researched ICS yet, just saw it exists, I'll figure that part out though, I just need to get my device recognized through fastboot.

As I recall, I don't think I could ever get booted into recovery from fastboot, I remember having some error, but flashing from normal twrp seemed to work, until I noticed these issues.

Please help :) Thank you in advance, these are certainly the most informative forums I've found, great job guys.
[HTC EVO 3D] coachabower:
last thing

I guess it makes sense that the last thing I did was flash viperRom, and I believe at the time the device was recognized, but still wouldn't boot into recovery from fastboot...never figured out why.

Oh, and the phone still charges in the usb, and acts normal as a thumb drive. At the bootloader screen when the usb is connected it does say fastboot usb, and is **UNLOCKED**, but S-ON.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
1) Regarding ADB, if you're on Windows, might be worth double checking correct drivers are installed. If you're on Linux, won't need drivers. Might also be worth a reboot on both the device and the host computer.

2) The WiFi issue I've posted about many times and have done my best to refine the answer. There are two other methods in addition to the two I've listed below, Dumlock and fastboot flash directly for the boot.img. They both have more significant downsides than the two listed below, but might be more convenient for you. I'm going to quote from previous posts. Feel free to ask more detailed questions if something doesn't make sense!
[HTC EVO 3D] coachabower:
Thank you, I'm in the process of trying these.

I want to ask though, why does my phone show my kernel as ziggy if it wasn't able to write to the boot partition? Is that just a kernel info file created by the rom or is that pulled directly from the kernel?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
The kernel information should always be correct. Haven't heard of any incidents when it wasn't, at least not yet!
[HTC EVO 3D] coachabower:
Thank you so much. I bought and used your app to flash the kernel back to stock, got the correct drivers for windows, and was able to boot through fastboot into recovery using cwm, twrp would load the htc screen for a min, then reboot to the rom.

Galaxy SII M250S / M250K / M250L Official [ICS ROM]

Korean means: From Korea.
[Galaxy S II General] inspiron2:
myself being a KT M250K user in another country, let me clarify this for you guys:

1/you can flash this ROM onto any INTL i9100, however, you won't have FM radio since the M250K and S only have DMB TV

2/there are 2 languages in this ROM: English & Korean

3/SMS probably will be restricted to 60 or 90 (i don't remember exactly cuz it has been too long since the last time i used a stock GB KOR ROM) characters per text

4/this might include a new bootloader - it's probably fine to flash, since i've been flashing KOR and INTL bootloaders here and there on my phone

edit: and beware with the Korean modem, it is a bit shaky for users in another region, i've tested in Singapore and Vietnam
[Galaxy S II General] YoTu_01:
Thanks for sharing your input!

I'll flash it later since what you mention is not that big of a deal, I for one can live without the FM radio, can read English, and the 60 char. limit is good.. they're SMS after all not letters you'll be sending.

Issue with official ICS

I'm running the official 4.0.3 ICS update on my M205s in Korea (build IML74K.UC08).

Has anyone else experienced sluggish and choppy menu scrolling? Whether I'm scrolling through my picture galleries, through the app drawer (vertical continuous scrolling with GoLauncher) or a messanger app like Kakao, what was once buttery smooth is now a choppy mess. My benchmark scores have actually improved a little and there are no slowdown issues with games. It's just choppy navigating through anything... ugh
[Galaxy S II General] jamesyb0i:
Yes I have an international GT-I9100 but flashed the korean SKT firmware since I live in Korea. It' sucks! It's slow and tacky. Going back to CM9 is being a problem however because my phone now thinks its a SHW-M250S. I think to resolve this I must flash the european firmware via odin first.

root after ICS update

If you want to upgrade to ICS and root your phone, you can do it..

Here was my method for rooting my Korean Galaxy S2 on KT (M250K):

1. Flashed a Siyah kernel (specifically Siyah-v3.0b5) using Odin v1.85

[note: the phone won't boot all the way..]

2. Flashed Tegrak's UC08 kernel (specifically Tegrak-Kernel-Build-35.3-for-SHW-M250K-UC08.tar) using Odin v1.85

Google search ( 테그라크 :: 갤럭시S2 ICS용 테그라크 커널 임시 빌드 35.3 ). It's the first link at the top. Find your phone model and download the .tar file

3. Reboot

^^ Easy as pie

i need to flasher
[Galaxy S II General] triadwarfare:
Caution: This variant is also affected by the eMMC brickbug. Flashing it with an ICS rom increases the risk of getting the brickbug and potentially irreversibly damage your memory and its partitions. Motherboard replacement is required if you can't boot your phone. You could do a workaround by relocating partitions but it will make your phone sluggish as the damage is already done and accessing the corrupted partitions will make the system slow and overheat.

Assuming most people who visit this forum isn't from South Korea and acquired this phone through other means (through a friend or from someone who has been in Korea), your local Samsung service center won't be able to entertain you and your device since its parts are exclusive to South Korea, it's not licensed to run by your national telecommunications government agency, and is not officially released in your country and they will automatically void all claims of warranty, valid or invalid, unless you go to South Korea and present the original receipt used to purchase the device.

Flash at your own risk. A successful flash doesn't mean that your phone is bugbrick free. Flashing a brickbug prone phone is just like Russian roulette.

Hello Guys!!

I am a in lot of tension at the moment and would like to have my questions answered as soon as possible by someone.. it would be most appreciated.

My friend has a Korean S2 (SHW-M250K) and I accidentally flashed an International version LPG on it via PC Odin... as expected the flashing did not complete and showed an error.. and the phone got stuck on some screen during boot on which only "Upgrade" was written and something in Korean Language with an icon of a PC..

I took the phone to a software repairing shop... he flashed an M250K rom on it but the phone still got stuck on Galaxy SII screen while booting.. It showed some kind of a progress bar below it which completed but still the phone was stuck.. the guy said that there was some issue with him ROM and I need to come back some time later...

I got back home and searched on the internet.. I found an M250K rom "M250K_HOME_M250K.UC08.2152_CL226872_REV02_user_lo w _ship_source.jkh.tar.md5" I flashed this via Odin but the flashing didn't start and I got an error message in Odin " MD5 hash value is invalid ".. now the phone is still stuck on the booting "Galaxy SII screen"...

Kindly tell me what to do??? I found another ROM but haven't tested it yet... M250K_HOME_M250K.UC21.2357_CL281641_REV02_user_low _ship ... was hoping that someone here might give me some expert advice on what to do..

really looking forward to some response :(
[Galaxy S II General] appagom:
Sounds like you got some bad ROM donwloads possibly, or at least as likely you have stale data that needs wiping. Unfortunately wiping data and cache on ICS ROMS isn't yet known to be safe because of the emmc bug. So you might need to flash an older ROM and then wipe (search how to enter recovery mode to do a factory reset on this device)

Flashing international works but you need the PIT file too.

There's a guide here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1097347&page=119

on post 1182

The good thing is if you use a brickbug safe kernel, you can then wipe before booting.

These are all SKT ROMS for the SHW-M250S (I haven't tested these downloads)

http://w.jkh.kr/gb4/

I've been running an SHW-M250S rom on my 250K without problems, but reflashing one again is giving me a little trouble.. related probably to some old data I haven't wiped in a good enough way (I did go back to a GB kernel and do wipes but something is still fishy). The 250K roms seem a little less temperamental, but I don't know where to find recent ones. I got the recent roms by flashing older one's and then freezing kies (with a process manager) right after it decrypted the rom, instantly before it flashed... then grabbing the file off the hard disk (just search for files > 100Mb written today)

These are some older ones:

http://shomblingteam.blogspot.kr/201...-sii_5143.html

I found the EG26 250K ROM worked well. It's not ICS, but once it's working you can udpate with kies.

The good news is all the ROMS I've found for this phone include kernels modems and secondary boot loaders, so you shouldn't need to worry about something missing other than a pit file for partitioning.

If you actually did use a pit file, you might need a 250K pit file. I think heimdall which I use to flash should be able to grab mine but I haven't tried.

You'd probably be better off to quote all this and move the discussion to the real thread for this device (the one I linked with the guide).
[Galaxy S II General] appagom:
Regarding the problem with the 250S ROM.. it was a wiping issue. I manually mounted and cleared /data and /cache with root access in adb in recovery mode. That worked. Again though the 250K ROM seems less sensitive.

UPDATE:

and the wiping only helped because of corruption that ultimately was caused by heimdall which does NOT work for this device for flashing full roms. This was the source of all the problems I saw.
