[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
I've disliked the Commuter since the days of having it on my HTC Inspire 4G. Very slippery and build quality does not compare to the Case-Mate Tough. It picks up a lot of lint/dust, the volume rockers are difficult to use, and the outer shell started cracking after a few months.

I'm very happy with my Tough but getting bored with the black on black so I just ordered a blue Trident Aegis to add some color to my case selection.

Transmission sent from a Galaxy S II, CODENAME style.

Last night I went to reboot into recovery and my phone now sits at the Galaxy S2 splash screen and won't boot up. Tried plugging it in powered off and it won't even go into charging mode. The battery picture just comes up and the little spinning wheel keeps going.

So Ive been trying for the last hour to reflash the phone back to stock using both Entropys return to stock guide as well as the 'How to return your phone to the store' guide too and no luck.

Heimdall of course as always just flat out doesn't work so I hooked it up to my laptop and ran Odin. Odin connects to the phone fine and the box turns yellow, but the minute I hit start, it just gives me this:

<ID:0/008> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/008>

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I even tried the one click ICS leak from Rootzwiki and the same thing.

I can get the phone into Download mode no problem but man I cannot get it to flash ANY of these rome!!

Any advice or should I just take it to an ATT store on the way home from work??

I got it around the second week of February so hopefully worst case scenario I can still exchange it..

Im at my wits end here, can't do anything with it!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Mulliganmonstar:
I had same problem with my sprint Gs2, I took it into the store they told me since I rooted they couldnt help me. But the guy said go into download mode and root it again, it will remove anything and everything off it. Idk if that's what you want though. It got my phone back up and running
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
Ahh forgot to add I can't get into Recovery anymore.

No clue what happened. I can get it into Download mode but not Recovery.

If I could've gotten into Recovery I could've just flashed my Nandroid last night and fixed it hehe..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
ODIN requires Download mode, not recovery mode. If your phone can indeed go into download mode as you claimed, you should be able to flash any ODIN flashable ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rdannar:
Try flashing just a kernel with recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You didn't say what you were running before the problem occured. Or if you did anything just before. Need more information to be able to troubleshoot the problem.

You might try flashing Entropy's DD kernel only with odin. He has at least one tar in his DD thread OP.

It may be that one of the components, such as param.lfs is screwed, but it would be better to have more information first before just randomly trying to flash things.

You can find most everything you might need in the Download Repository.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
Yeah sorry about the lack of info hehe! I made the thread about 20 minutes before I had to go to work and spent the hour before that trying to fix it hehe.

Anyways, I WAS running the ATT ICS leak that Task and Fenny packaged up with CWM. I WAS going to get everything backed up and attempt to move over to CM9 when it went to crap.

So far what Ive attempted to flash with Odin was the following with no luck:

Entropys 'Return to Stock' PDA.tar (the UCKH7_stock_odin with root)

ATTGalaxyS2Unroot_SGH-i777.tar

The leaked ATT Odin one click flasher from Rootzwiki (same results as using regular Odin with any of the above)

I did in fact also download the I777UCKH7-CL503881-Parts-NoBL.7z from creepys 'How to prepare your phone for return to the store' thread BUT..

The instructions tell you to unpack the 7z and then run the one click .exe inside but there is no .exe in the archive. Just the modem.bin, cache.img, image, factoryfs.img, and hidden.img. This would've been fine to try but of course Heimdall is every Mac OS users enemy and anytime I try to use the front end I get a 'missing firmware.xml' error and running it via command line just never connects to the phone.

Since Entropys return to stock package only has the factoryfs.img and zimage, sounds like I need to find a complete tar file that has all the other parts that creepy's has in it..

Last thing I did before going to work was updating the USB drivers on my Win 7 laptop to see if that would help, but since I can only use my laptop via Remote Desktop Connection from my Mac (display is dead) I had to do a Windows Update so I could get the laptop to restart (which I don't think you can do through RDC unless I missed it), and I had to run to work before it finished..

And I was STILL 10 minutes late hahaha!

So the laptop JUST got rebooted now that Im home, Im going to go see if theres also a newer version of Odin, and Im gonna go dig through the Download Repository and also check that Samsung Firmwares site to see if I can find myself a complete tar ball of the stock 2.3.4 firmware..

Ive got Saturday off finally so if I can't get it flashed and fixed by then I think Im going to bite the bullet and just take it to an ATT store and see if they'll swap it. Hopefully theres no 30 day policy, because Im pretty sure my Blackberry crapped out on me about 2 months in and they had no problem sending me another in the mail.. I REALLY wish I had my MyBackup done on my external SD card and not the internal one.. Gotta put another 40 hours into grinding in all my Zenonias to get back to where I was hehe..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ResolutionHD:
Add me on gtalk and we can see what we can do :P resolutionhdx@gmail.com
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
At this point I don't know if anything will help heh.

All it will do is either sit on the GS2 boot screen, or it will go into Download mode.

Download mode though, no luck so far. Odin just won't flash it for some reason. It sees it, the COM port box lights up yellow, but the minute you hit Start, it just goes right to that error message I posted above. After this, I have to close both Odin and disconnect the phone and reboot it into Download mode.

I went through the Download Repo. Tried I777UCKH7-CL503881-Full.7z, and even the param.ifs by itself but everything just gives the same result. I didn't try Entropys DD though since I was running the stock ICS and didn't want to really mess anything up. Only thing I can think of left to try is flashing Task/Fennys CWM modded stock ICS kernel but after all this I doubt its going to work. I tried the stock rooted GB kernel earlier and it didn't bother flashing either.

Am I maybe connecting it wrong? I have the battery pulled and am going into Download mode by holding the vol buttons and connecting the usb cable to the laptop. I don't want to kill the battery power I have left as it won't charge now either. Basically I just fire up Odin, connect the phone and put it in Download mode, select my tar file and put it in the PDA slot, hit Start and go.. Should I be doing anything differently??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Whenever I've had a problem with Odin like that, it has always been that some partition got flashed wrong/partially/corrupted, and the only fix was to reflash the damaged partition. As long as Odin is seeing the phone, then it must be either a software/firmware problem or a hardware problem. I'm still thinking it is firmware, but it seems to be outside my experience.

I havn't been playing with ICS yet, but I have noticed that there have been a number of reports similar to yours, where people have flashed some flavor of ICS. This supports the idea that it is firmware. I have always understood that if the problem is firmware, and if the phone can boot into download mode, it can be recovered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
Yeah Im wondering if I should try flashing the PIT file I have for the phone, but I don't know crap about partitioning these things and didn't want to really mess it up.

Guess at this point its worth a shot. I was about to go sit and chat with the warranty folks at ATT (mines a refurb so Ive only got til the end of the month before warranty s up). Maybe Ill try the pit file and let Odin repartition the thing. I can't flash a firmware back onto it anyways.

EDIT: Holy crap progress.. I flashed the stock secondary boot loader with Odin (in the Bootloader slot) and that actually flashed. Now I just reconnected it and decided to try the ATT ICS leak one click from Rootzwiki and it appears my phone is now flashing!!!!! As long as my crap is still on the internal usb storage today is gonna be a good day hehe! Yep all is well so far! Phone just rebooted and its now at the ICS setup screen! WOOHOO!!! Crisis averted!! Thanks guys for the comments and help! Creepy thank you for reminding me we have that repository!!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] chichibud31:
I would love if someone can add a tutorial -for noobs- or send me a link as to how to root my Raider 4G ? I want to add the flip clock widget to my customized lock screen. I was told by HTC I can only add from the selections built into the Sense UI, that a root would be the only way to add a feature not built in. Though i consider myself capable where moderate customizing of smartphone is concerned, i'm a novice when it comes to technical stuff like rooting and such. Would appreciate some help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessman1988:
Hey guys. I finally traded up from an OG droid to a Galaxy S2 and can't seem to find an updated rooting tutorial. All of them have dead links or don't seem to work. I hope I don't get flamed for this but can someone please send me in the right direction? Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
1st step: make sure what model Galaxy S2 you have (label under battery) as there are over a dozen different model phones called Galaxy S2. OG "Droid" is on Verizon, and Verizon doesn't carry ANY Galaxy S2 model. If you were on Verizon previously, that means you are in the US. If so, and you got a Galaxy S2 through a US carrier (ATT, Sprint, T-Mobile), I guarantee it is NOT the GT-I9100, which is the device this forum is for.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessman1988:
my phone is a gt-i9100. I live in alaska. I purchased it through a local phone company called GCI. I just feel overwhelmed with all the galaxy products out there. A little over saturated, but definitely a good phone. I just wanna root it like I did my Xoom and OG droid.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I had to ask. I'm in the US using a GT-I9100 as well, but the majority of US Galaxy S2 users are NOT on the GT-I9100.

You can root using a CF-Root kernel. Works perfectly fine, and installs CWM recovery for you as well. Just make sure to follow the instructions exactly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessman1988:
Hey thanks. Honestly I like this phone so much I didn't really wanna root it, but my carrier will probably never officially support the ICS update and I miss having nandroid backups and tinkering around to get the most out of my phone. Thanks for the link.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
No problem, but also please be aware of the forum rules. Rule #1 is to search before posting. Not everyone will be so generous.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessman1988:
I gotcha. Sorry for not searching as much as I could have. I have an issue, however. My kernel is 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI3-CL577579 and the tutorial mentions KG1. Also, there's about a million files posted throughout the thread and I have no idea which is supposed to be for my device. I'm sorry if I'm asking for a handout. I just wish rooting was simpler like on my old phone. I'm sorry, and thanks again/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
There's a "Help! Which file do I use ?" section in that thread. Sounds like you read that, since you mention the tutorial that mentions KG1. So you should be able to figure out which one to use based on that. I bolded the important part of your kernel version.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessman1988:
Alright. I found the right file and I'm rooted successfully! is there anything I can do to get rid of the triangle that shows up when I first boot up my phone? I'm totally psyched! Now I gotta search for a good ICS rom. lol.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
*sigh*... rule #1 again. This is a question that's been answered literally more times than I have posts. There are many ways.

EDIT: of course, if you flash an ICS ROM, chances are good you will have the triangle again, in which case, there is no point in getting rid of the triangle now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
Turn the phone upside down while it's booting or put some paper over it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessman1988:
Ha ha. Funny indeed. :o I know I had better start following the rules, and the yellow triangle isnt exactly a concern. This thread should probably be deleted due to my ignorance. For what it's worth, I'm extremely grateful for the help I've received. Lastly, anyone here on ICS or have a personal preference on what build to download? I'm kinda worried because I love EOS ICS on my xoom but gingerbread is so well optimized and I'm sure some apps won't work once I make the upgrade. So many more apps are compatible on my phone and I'm weighing out the risks.

Hey guys. I had one more little issue I wanted some direction with. Do I need APN Backup & Restore before I update? Also, I don't have enough room on my phone for a complete nandroid. Is rogue recovery compatible with the SGS2 or is there a way to configure CWM recovery to write a backup to the external card? Everything else is pretty much within my grasp. A million apologies and thanks for all the n00bishness. :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessman1988:
Alright everyone. I'll be more respectful of the rules and give thanks when its due but I have a dilemma because Ice sandwich doesn't give access to apn settings like previous incarnations and I feel really lost and worried that I'll mess my mobile internet up if I'm not careful.I also tried to research about making a nandroid backup straight to my external card without results. if this is the wrong place to ask can someone guide me in the right direction? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You're saying you can't edit APNs on an ICS ROM? That's weird. The guy in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1554967) sure sounds like he could edit APNs on an ICS ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessman1988:
No. Thats not what I meant. Ive only ever edited the apn of my old phone with apn backup and restore. Apps don't have access to apn settings in 3.0 and up from the research I've tried to do. I didn't know how else to edit them. My xoom is wifi and my og Droid never made it past gingerbread so this was never an issue in the past. What do you do when you update? Write everything down and key it in after the upgrade? I have no problem doing so. I was just asking if theres an easier option. My only other issue is figuring out how to make a nandroid backup straight to my external SD card. I'm unfamiliar with recovery kernals for Samsung phones and cwm recovery doesn't let you access your external card so I hoped for advice on a better one. If I can't ask for help with these things here then I promise i won't keep coming back until I have more worthy questions. I could've done a lot more research in the beginning. If its better for everyone ill just see what happens on my own and if I screw up I screw up.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Not what you meant? But your follow up statement here makes it sound like exactly what you meant. Not very clear here...

EDIT to add: I should say - what I linked above is ONLY relevant because I used him as an example of someone who was indicating it was possible to edit an APN on an ICS ROM. Which seems to contradict, and yet NOT contradict, what you were saying. See my confusion?

There are several apps in the play store that back up and restore APN settings. But you probably won't need them. If you do a reset to default in APN settings, it should query your carrier for their APN settings, and just work.

I can access my external sd with CWM just fine. You have to mount it first though.

I have a Sensation G4 that was rooted and messed up. It will boot in to bootloader but nothing past that. I also know someone who is getting a new one, (same phone Tmo) this week. I have not figured out the problem with mine but had the idea of using his new one, copy his recovery, copy it to mine, and run recovery on mine to restore to stock.. Should that work? My buddy will let me use his before he sets anything up but don't want me to change anything on his. Or I could put my 8gig micro in his phone, back up his virgin sys to card, pull card and put back in mine, restore mine?? I need input asap, he wants to use his so I need to know in case his new one shows today.. noob and been scanning here but unsure and this may be my only chance to fix this..

Update: I have noticed that my mine will not charge as-well??.. May have to do with it being messed up? I could use other phone to charge bat, fix phone, see if it starts to charge??

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strife89:
Two days ago, I noticed that there was a firmware update for my Archos 101 while at work. I had my Archos with me but not the AC adapter; the tablet requires the user to plug it in before getting started. I paid a visit to Archos' website and downloaded the update file to my laptop instead, double-checking how to install it. Note that I don't have Internet access at home.

Recently, said tablet had been locking up extremely frequently, and without obvious reason or even any real pattern. I even tried a total device reset (wipe the internal user storage and reset the Android partition back to factory defaults) and it didn't help. I was fearing that the firmware had gotten corrupted, and figured that updating would help fix that.

When I got home that night, though, I was dead tired. I made a mental note to update using the offline method in the morning, although I did have the presence of mind to plug it in and get the battery charged. In the morning, I did as the instructions on Archos's website said: mount the device via USB and transfer the firmware update to the root of the user storage area. Unmount, let it detect it, and give it the okay. Simple enough. I hung around the house long enough to watch for an "update okay!" message, then bolted out the door so I'd make it to work on time.

I didn't return home until about 9 PM. After settling in, I picked up my tablet to check on it and see if the update did the trick. Nope! It froze again before I could even launch an app. Frustrated, I put it back down and held the power button to force a reset. When the screen powered off, I walked away to check on something.

I returned to find that the tablet's green power light (which is normally steady on) was blinking rapidly. As in 20 blinks as second or so. The screen was flickering on for less than a second at a time in roughly one-minute intervals. And - most alarmingly - the unit was HOT. I tried to pick it up and burned my hand a little on the metal backplate.

After some back-and-forth texting with a friend for advice, I ultimately opened up the tablet in an attempt to disconnect the batteries. Turned out that they're soldered to the board, though, so I left the tablet open to give the hot components a chance to cool. I'm hoping that the batteries drain quickly.

I basically have no idea if the tablet can be fixed, and if so, I'm scratching my head over how. Anyone here have any ideas?
