@GizmoFreak

Hi thanks for your concern buddy. I live in Mumbai. I just came from Samsung Service center and they said it has been Rooted and Warranty has been void and ill have to pay for motherboard replacement which costs more than 10000 bucks. Thats the problem naa buddy... it gets disconnected every 15 secs so even they couldnt flash... :( i guess there's no other option but motherboard replacement.

Ill definitely try that before going for motherboard replacement. To be really Honest i have not rooted my cell. its just that i flashed the wrong kernel.... of that of international model GT-I9100 whereas my model is GT-I9100G and the Samsung guys say i have rooted my phone.... is there anyway to prove that i have not rooted my phone ???

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
even you prove you have not rooted, they can easily make out form your current status of the phone that you have tryed something wrong /flashed something. not only rooting voids your waranty, flashing anything a rom or a kernel also voids the waranty. that is what the flash couter is there for , which appears in download mode.

Lately, I have been noticing this a lot.

In GB, in a hard brick, there was nothing on the screen, at all. In ICS, even in a hard brick, there is still a boot logo...

That can mean 2 things : the bootloader is unbrickable on ICS, or it's a graphical error l.

But now, how to make the bootloader overwrittable? That I don't know :(

But of course, there is a fix, which is a JTAG, but that's not accessible for some...

no buddy...nothing is working.... no recovery, no download, it doesnt even start.

when i connect it to computer via USB it gets connected and disconnected in a loop.... i even tried USB Jig that i made on my own....bore no fruit :(

It seems its completely Hard Bricked.

I guess ill have to pay the price for being such a stupid impatient and an idiotic noob....

Anyway i really appreciate your concern thanks :)

HELP !!!

Are u sure this USB Jig will work ?? ill order it from ebay then. I really think i have completely hard bricked the phone. and i really dont have the money to pay for motherboard replacement......

Please atleast let me know how can i reset the counter ( i mean i read somewhere that u can easily make out that u have flashed a custom ROM in recovery mode ) that will enable me for free motherboard replacement.....coz its still in warranty... or is there any other way that prevents service center guys from knowing that i have flashed custom ROM into my phone using ODIN ?? coz i guess that voids warranty....

please tell me where can i get the official gingerbread firmware, kernel and everything so i can try to flash it using ODIN if at all its possible...

My model is Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G i bought it in india.

You can find it at sammobile.com.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9100G&r=2#regiona

if you are having old bootloaded your flash counter will be reset automaticaly when you insert the JIG at the sametime it brings you download mode, otherwise you have to flash old bootloader from ODIN first and insert JIG again to reset.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peninsula_:
What happened in the end, Pranav? I have a similar situation - wanted to hear your outcome!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pranav2607:
USB Jig did the magic. I ordered it from eBay.

But do remember it may not work/reset the counter unless on Android 2.3.6 or lower. So if u are on ICS 4.0.1 or higher you will have to flash 2.3.6, reset the counter using the Jig and then flash back 4.0.1.

If nothin works, just act dumb and take it to a service center saying u have no clue what happened or u were updating via Samsung kies and the power went off ( or just another story convincing enough to outsmart the guys at the service center which I am sorry to say are pretty dumb ). Not kidding !!! If its under warranty u may get the job done for free !!!

Hope that helps.

NNH - (Noob Needs Help)

Hey All,

Firstly let me apologise for not searching through millions of posts/forums/threads etc to find my answer...but I have tried! :p

Ok the problem....I used Kies...

I haven't updated my phone since I purchase it back in September 2011, so I thought why not, plugged it into Kies and started the update, it showed a screen like the attachment.

Long story short - phone disconnection half way through - tried Kies Recovery - Sticks on 1%

So then I tried a different method Odin...nothing will install other than...Kernel_I9100XWLP3.tar.md5 from (androidfirmwares) along with I9100XWLP3_I9100O2ULP4_I9100XXLPR_HOME.tar.md5 and I cant install anything else, Odin brings up the fail message normally on the step Cache.img.

Im thinking I might need to revert back to the original OS version? TBH I dont care as long as I can have my phone working again....

Help:crying:

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pranav2607:
Well Updating via Samsung Kies is a pain in the ass.... ODIN is the best way to update/flash stock as well as custom firmwares. Make sure u are flashing it right. I have attached a pdf which may be useful to you. Follow steps exactly.

Step 1) Download Official Stock firmware from sammobile.com ( Again check your Model Number. Mine was GT-I9100G )

I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_I9100GDDKI1_HOME.tar.md5 is GingerBread.

I9100GXXLPQ_I9100GODDLP7_I9100GDDLP5_HOME.tar.md5 is Icecream Sandwich..... these are for GT-I9100G

!! Don't flash anything else ( for eg: a kernel file ) unless u know exactly what you are doing.

Step 2) Open ODIN v1.87 and Select any of the two above mentioned downloaded files in the PDA section. Dont Touch anything else !!

Step 3) Click Start....wait for it to get over.

I guess that should do it. Again make sure u download the proper firmware file for your Galaxy Device.

Hope that helps !!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjlewis89:
Hey,

Thanks for your response, I manage to sort it out in the end and I thought I should post how, just in case someone else has the same issue.

I read through you mini-guide and this is what I had been doing, so I decided to make sure I had the correct firmware from sammobile...I didn't know about this site....it is extremely useful/good!

1) I re-downloaded my firmware and tried it once more on my laptop but it still failed

2) Changed computer (from Windows 7 Pro 64-bit) to XP desktop (Pro - 32-bit)

3) Copied all required files (including Samsung Drivers)

4) Plugged into front USB ports using an "non-offical" Samsung USB cable

5) Disabled AVG

5) Ran ODIN...."FAIL!!!"

5) a) got really pissed off

6) Used my brain and thought that the USB's at the front are normally attached to the Motherboard via mini extension cables....so..

7) Plugged into a USB at the back on the desktop [which connection is direct to the motherboard]

8) Disabled AVG

9) Ran ODIN - work first time!!

*Top Tips* - Change computers, install drivers first, Restart after installing software, turn off AVG (or similar), try every USB port

Hope this helps

I have a NOOK Tablet which is, for all intents and purposes, rooted. I've been able to do everything on it you would expect a rooted tablet to do. I tried to change my build.prop today to gain access to some different apps in the market, and I've gotten errors from every app I tried (two apps called "build.prop editor" and "es file explorer) saying that I don't have root access. All apps have been given superuser permission, and my root is toggled on in voodoo? Any ideas? I really don't think it's a bad root. Thanks.

Been using a Droid RAZR MAXX for a few months now and haven't had a problem until recently.

I listen to music a lot while riding bike to and from work. I find it necessary as it helps with my cadence and focus. Recently though, it started interrupting my music and asking for a command... I've gotten to the point, I will stop, cancel the damn voice command prompt and continue once my music starts playing again. Once I get in a nice rhythm, it happens again...

This has pissed me off so freakin' much, I actually removed the button on my headphones, however it has not helped...

I do not have another pair of headphones I can test yet. Depending on the type of responses I get, I may get a pair without a freakin' button on it...

Is there any way I can kill this damn voice command crap from interrupting my music?! I'm not gonna freakin' use it anyway.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] joao.ofb:
@psychot3ch, are you sure the problem is in your headphones?

My razr came with an annoying thing like you describe, and when I look after it, I found out that touching home buttom twice trigger voice actions too.

Go to Menu > Settings > Applications, and there you'll see how to change this configuration.

If the problem persists, @Nikorasu solution is the best thing you can do about it, I guess.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] psychot3ch:
I'm pretty sure it's my headphones as when this happens, my phone is in my pants pocket and I've not touched any buttons. I've even taken it out of my pocket, and wiggled the plug a lil and have been able to reproduce the problem.

I've already disabled the double home button press, but it still persists. One of the first things I did. :)

I'll try the Titanium freeze. Thanks for the idea.

Anyways, Skyvi crashes like instantly upon install and first run. Crashes on phone reboot, after locking up for 2 min or so.

What in the world could be causing this? I've tried so many different things. cache wipes, clear program data... etc etc.

any suggestions?
