Cheers. Ok so i bricked my 9210t. Did everything the same as i've always done just this time after the ics update, only this time the keyboard would crash all the time, in fact it wouldnt work at all. Tried to re-install the telstra image with odin, it failed and now i have "firmware upgrade encountered an error"..etc, and that's it.

hmmmm. It's worked every other time ive installed cm10 on this phone, only differnce was factory reset and ics update.

Hi guys,

I experienced issues with rebooting after updating to Dream Kernal 1.8.3 when i started tweaking governors.

I tested with Powersaver and Interactive governors both experiencing quite severe reboots, after this i disabled governors at bootup, but still experienced shutdowns, flashed back to DreamKernal 1.8.1 no reboots since :D

Regards,

Scott

Hm i'm already running v1.8.4 in testing stage and can not reproduce that also never expierienced any issues on 1.8.2 or 1.8.3

but it sounds a bit suspicious to me so i want to check that again.

would be cool if u can get me a dmesg and logcat dump so i can have a look for possible reasons ?

Oh just tested and works just fine for me while using winrar

But On my Windows machine i'm always using "7z" wich is much more advanced, offers better compression, is free and can handle more formats then WinRar.

On Linux any zip compatible compression/decompression tool should work just fine

hm that does not sound good :( hopefully u have not triggered the mmc brick bug but u said the device shows the Firmeware error Screen?

that would mean that it is not finaly hard bricked and we can recovery it

if u get some time to spend on that feel free to drop into our irc so we can have a look at this together, may we can fix that with no costs and in short time
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drachy:
It's not turning on anymore... I may have made an error, i read through a google search about odin that pda is for for flashing firmwares of tablets and phone is for phones. so i thought id try flashing the firmware via phone rather than pda. Interestingly the install process went fine, passed the test in odin, but then the phone wouldn't turn on again. Does nothing now. Turns out that information was wrong haha.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tallustus:
Even if the device does nothing at all (turns not on, no reply to keycombos/recovery keycombo etc)

there is still a chance for us to recover it!

but we need to check in wich state the device is btw in wich one we can get it,

if u are a bit lucky we can fix it without a JTAG

otherwhise a JTAG is your only solution as alternative to a boardreplacement right now

Do i run dmesg and logcat through Terminal Emulator?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tallustus:
Yep can be done via terminal emulator or via a adb shell.

execute the following

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tallustus:
Yes u need to flash back the v1.8.3 kernel before running thoose commands.

Also it would be cool if u could stay on v1.8.3 and directly after u got a random reboot try to fetch the file /proc/last_kmsg from your device. This file holds the log of the last running kernel session before a reboot

Having the back/menu keys problem

Hi everyone, i recently picked up a samsung galaxy s2 4g.

I rooted via the instructions on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1340526

After rooting i experienced the issue of my back and menu buttons no longer working.

I have since recovered back to the stock telstra firmware - but my buttons still DONT work.

I have also tried entering the keys: *#*#2663#*#* and *#*#86824#*#*

and updating both of their firmware - with no success.

I am willing to do and ADB debugs or whatever anyone needs.

I can confirm CWM 5.8.1.3 works fine. (sometimes require a further reboot if you have rebooted from CWM)

I did manage to get a ICS rom to work with softkeys. Calls did not work at the time so i needed to flash back. I would have got some data for you otherwise.

We're seeing some progress. Please let me know if I can help any further.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlietoleary:
yeah just returned it and got a new one.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimTams:
be careful about saying this, did you try doing a backup with CWM? that seems to be what kills it. Mine worked for a while just fine until I booted back into CWM and did a backup
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwp85:
Fair call!!

I've done about 6 backups (different roms), however, I did do my first backup with an earlier, non touch version.

Any ROM I have installed, I have then backed up the boot.img from my stock rooted rom to get the softkeys working. Evidence has shown that this method, for whatever reason does not work on every device.

If anyone has doubt, then wait for the official ICS update. At that point I believe more DEV's will jump on board for this phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimTams:
what's happened to the guys here working on a fix? I'm anxiously holding out waiting to be able to use my phone again :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwp85:
It is slow work due to low development support. It seems there are a few problems pin pointing the main culprit of this issue; Recovery, boot, firmware, radio, etc. all of these need to be broken down and compared with the stock ROM.

If you have not tried any of the sugestions in this thread, please try them.

At the end of the day, with respect, you flashed your device. No one on this forum is responsible for that.Please be patient. :)

Well I'm gunna wait patiently now that I've started to like the phone, something about it :-)

Choices of radios

One can dream, can't they
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwp85:
Nothing wrong with optimism.

Maybe if/when telstra release an ICS update we will have all these things. Until then it's a wait for a dev that can build radios, firmware and boot images.

I'm also wIring for this day. I like the speed of this phone. It can only get better with ICS!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roosta:
Can't a fellow dev grab another dev from a related phone/forum and get them in on fixing tihs issue? Good to see the process is coming along though ecips. Keep up the good work to everyone who is still trying!

This is great. A lot of links suddenly went dead! Good to have them back. I have a problem however:

I have a stock Telstra ICS based GT-i9210t at the moment (australia). I downloaded and flashed (via odin) the latest TWRP recovery (TWRP-2.3.3.0-DreamRecovery-GT-I9210T-v1.2.2_28122012.tar) from your website to my device. Booted into recovery, no problems. I then attempted to flash the latest cm-10-20121010-unofficial-i9210t ROM from your site, however I am presented with an "assert failed" error, which then throws a "status 7" error. It sounds like this ROM was not supposed to be for this device, yet you have labelled it as such? Do I need to modify something? Is there something wrong with my recovery? Am I at risk of damaging my device if I flash this ROM?

I also see from this thread that it appears that some Skyrocket ROMs are compatible with this device. Are there any pitfalls with trying these ROMs? Do I need to modify anything? I would love to run CM10 stable for the skyrocket on my GT-i9210, but only if it is going to be rock solid stable.

Also, I would search, but the search on XDA is down at the moment. And this thread is a bit of a mess and could use a fresh answer. Cheers!

ARGHH!! I followed your advice and updated the updater script to add the GTi9210t to the CM10 stable skyrocket ROM updater script (as it would throw the same code 7 error) under Ubuntu. Worked fine... Flashed it and then dreamkernal with TWRP 2.3.3.0 and now my device is a brick!!!! I cannot get anything out of it at all - USB jig does not work, all key combos do not work, I cannot get anything on the screen no matter how hard I try. I am so incredibly frustrated right now. I just messed up someone else's phone and now I'm going to have to pay for it.

Warning to everyone - careful what you flash or you can brick your device like I did!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tallustus:
owh i'm sorry to hear that,

first of all What rom have u tried to flash?

- please provide a link

2. what DreamKernel have u flashed?

- please provide link to it

also u do not need to pay for that phone u can search for someone that is aible to JTAG it wich would recover it if its no hardware fault.

a JTAG would be much cheaper then a boardreplacement or something. just saying ...

also there is a small chance that we can recover the device as it is

do the following steps:

- get a PC running Windows at least Windows XP best would be W7

- connect your usb cable to the Win PC but do not connect the phone right now

- push the powerbutton of the phone and hold it!

- plug your usb cable in the device, u still need to hold the powerbutton

- when the usb is pluged in release the powerbutton and see if u get a new device in windows devicemanager

if yes and if it is called something like QHSUSB_DLOAD your a step closer to recover the device without jtag
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephendt0:
This is what I did in a nutshell.

So my device was running the official Telstra ICS ROM, and I went to the TeamSkyfire website and flashed TWRP-2.3.3.0-DreamRecovery-GT-I9210T-v1.2.2_28122012.tar via ODIN. Booted into TWRP recovery, no problems.

I then tried to flash cm-10-20121010-UNOFFICIAL-i9210t.zip. I kept getting a status 7 error. Strange I thought. Turns out this new recovery was picky and I had to add a line to the ROM update script. I also was told I can just run a AT&T skyrocket ROM as long as I flash the SkyFire DreamKernal afterwards, so I downloaded-10.0.0-skyrocket.zip for it, added a line to the update script so it would flash.

Installed the CM10 Skyrocket ROM and the DreamKernel-v2.7.5-20121001131159-CWM.zip kernal, no errors were reported. Went to reboot the phone, and that was the last bit of life it ever showed. It turned off and wouldn't turn on again after that.

It's not my phone... so I have to buy my friend a new phone in the meantime :(

Tried those steps on two different computers and both did not register any hardware when plugged in via USB. Not sure how, but the phone appears to be totally dead. :(

How does one go about obtaining a JTAG tool and how complex is this?

Edit Edit: Yep, flashed wrong kernel. Feel so stupid! Argh :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nutterpc:
I did that at one point. Was when I flashed a wrong partition table by accident, bricked the device.

If it won't turn on, or vibrate at all, that's a service centre job. As tal said, if you can manage to get it to show as that device he mentioned, there's a small window of hope
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tallustus:
AW: Galaxy S 2 GT -I9210T Development?

I'm pretty sure he managed to flash a wrong rom/kernel wich has overwritten parts of his bootloader. So the device get stuck in a realy early bootstage where it is not able to start downloadmode or something. Thats the usal sign of a phone with corrupt bootloader due to failed/wrong flash ...

Thats the only case other then a hardwarefault i can imagine

If its like i think a JTAG is the solution to go !

Would be much cheaper (arround 45$) then a board replacement Otherwhise u need to ship it in for repair.

I'm pretty sure u are not able to JTAG your device yourself, u need some equipment like a JTAG box wich costs arround 100$ and also u need to be good in soldering

for a JTAG u need to solder Cables on the Device Motherboard and use a JTAG Box + Software to recover it.

U can try to find a JTAG Service in your country,

if u are not able to find one

i can get your Device JTAG'ed for a price of 35€ wich would be ~ 45$ + shipment costs/duties etc

to germany and back

at all you would spend ~100 $ to get it JTAG'ed if u can not find a guy nearest to you (Board replacement would be something like 200 - 300 $
