[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SuperSZ:
I've learned a little more and have more idea about the location of the sim-lock. Now there's currently full root for the phone, and NAND has been unlocked. I've searched through the internet and apparently the sim-lock is located in the radio folder of the NAND memory. People in a forum say that Qualcomm's NAND code is not particularly unique or difficult to understand; but I have no idea about that ... so I was wondering if I could upload the radio folder of my phone, so that someone who wants to help me can discover the sim-lock, and remove it (and then send it to me again :p )

please someone reply, or else I'll feel that I'm talking alone xD

007sh unlocking

oooh i hope there are answers to this, i want the 007sh as its one of the rare android clamshells and i'm hoping to buy one online,

How do you like it? is it as intuitive as i imagine it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SuperSZ:
Well, Android doesn't have 100% full integration with the numeric keypad. I mean, you can use it for SMS, calls and emulators in which you can set the keys, but there aren't a lot of apps which nativly uses the keypad. Anyways, it's a good phone. The bad thing is: I desperatly need the SIM-Unlock because the hypersims I have doesn't work correctly, I lose signal and can't recover so I have to "CPR" the phone (I have to remove the SIM+Hypersim, put the SIM in a normal phone, wait till it gets signal, and then put the SIM+Hypersim again in the japanese phone). The problem is that, I don't know why, but if I want to use my japanese phone, I must do that every 20 minutes: obviously that's not an option for me, and for now I'm using my old Nokia N82 till somebody finds the Sim unlock.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The K-Zoo Kid:
I tried searching, but I couldn't find anyone with the same problem as me and I don't know what to do.. I'm kind of freaking out. The last update I installed was darkside beta02, and I was really liking it minus a few connection and call issues. Anyways, I was in my car earlier today and picked out a song on play music. The phone instantly turned off, and it appeared that it was about to reboot so I didn't think much about it. Nope. When it starts to turn on it rarely makes it past the samsung screens that pops up right when you start the phone, but it has made it as far as the swirling samsung s splash screen thing. It just acts like it is rebooting from that part and it's like a never ending cycle until I remove the battery. I can get the phone into download mode by plugging it into the computer, but it only stays on for a few seconds and then goes back to it's never ending reboot. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, I really can't afford to have bricked this phone :(

UPDATE: I managed to restore the phone to stock, and I proceeded to root and put darkside beta 7.1 on it. Everything was running fine... For a few hours. It began to do the same rebooting described above, but now instead of looking like it's going to boot normally it goes straight to a screen that says "Firmware encountered an issue. Please sleect recovery mode in Kies and try again." with the phone model, "Custom Binary Download: No" and "Current Binary: Samsung Official" up top. It only stays at this screen for a few seconds before it starts back into it endless half-reboot. Any suggestions? This is frustrating me A LOT.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
uh, have you tried charging it? Honestly at first blush it sounds like a dead battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The K-Zoo Kid:
Yes I've charged it overnight... And it does the same thing when it's on the charger without the battery in.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The K-Zoo Kid:

Go to recovery and clear cache and restore factory settings

Do you have insurance? Might want to take it to a store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pcamlin:
Oops sorry about that. I would reset your flash counts and try and take it back to the store if possible... seems like your only option if you can't get into recovery. Or reflash stock. Then root again then clear cache and then factory defaults

If you can get it to stay on long enough-- in Odin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The K-Zoo Kid:
Wouldn't they just tell me I'm out of luck because my phone is clearly rooted and whatnot?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The K-Zoo Kid:
The problem is that I can't do anything but watch the phone start up for about 10 seconds, or be in download mode for about 10 seconds. Not much time to do anything.

That is why you reset flash counts before you go in... Google is your friend and try to unroot somehow--

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thedarkness37:
I had this exact thing happen to me today!! For the last week or so, I would get a random reboot up to four times a day. This started happening after I flashed Whitehawkx UVLDE zip. What I did was left the battery in the phone let the constant reboot run until the battery died. Then I would try to get into download mode, but then it would reboot before Odin recognized it. I left the usb plug in the phone and took the battery out, the phone would still do the rebooting vibration. I just stayed with trying to get the phone to stay on long enough to get recognized by Odin. Leave the drained battery out of the phone for a while (your choice of how long, I left it for about forty minutes) and replace it, hopefully it stays on long enough to get recognized. Finally it stayed on long enough and I re-flashed ULKL1. Now I'm back to running TDJ's DARKSIDE. EVOLUTION.2 [BETA 3] and I haven't had any reboots where as before it would reboot within fifteen minutes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The K-Zoo Kid:
Thank you! And when you say replace the battery, do you mean get a whole new one or put in the dead one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thedarkness37:
Just put the dead one in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OGWisdom:
My advice is similar to his, but without killing the battery. Open odin on your computer, and input what your going to input into pda and have everything ready to go, so all you have to do is press start and its off. Now, start with the phone turned off, hold both volume buttons and plug in the usb cable from the computer quickly! Have your hand ready on the mouse and ready to click start. Soon as odin recognizes click that start button! Hopefully everything happened so quick, that the phone will take the flash. However, if it doesn't, then I'm afraid the only answer you would have left is to use a jig to reset the counter and take it in to be replaced.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The K-Zoo Kid:
I've tried this, but I didn't even have time to get it started. It's beginning to look like I'm out of luck

If you cant get it to Odin, and if you cant get it to download mode, and if you cant get it to turn on, neither can TMo. Take it in.

The thing is, it starts to start up, and you can clearly see that it's rooted. I feel like they won't honor my warranty.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bkrill:
I'm having the same problem. I don't have insurance though and actually bought the phone used (not from tmobile) could i still take it to a tmobile store for warranty exchange?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] belly1026:
If your phone is still under warranty, then yes.

I bought my phone off of craigslist's and when the USB port became really loose, I gave T-Mobile a call and asked for a warranty exchange. My new phone is currently on its way to me :-)

My friend's phone is having the same issue with the OP but instead of warranty exchange, I'm just going to send the phone in for JTAG. The reasoning is because I'd like to keep my back ups (titanium backup, text backup). And I found a guy on ebay that can do it for $34 so it's not that much more than the $20 I'd have to pay t-mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bkrill:
Is there a way to check the warranty?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] belly1026:
Just give T-mobile a call and they can check it for you. That's what I did.

But since the S2 was released less than a year ago, I'm going to assume that all S2s are currently still under warranty (Except for stolen phones, blocked IMEIs, etc obviously).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The K-Zoo Kid:
What is the warranty from tmobile on this phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bkrill:
Think they would exchange it if i had a Bombadier on it. It boots to the synergy kernel screen and then powers off.

I used to have the G2x last year. With a custome rom on it and forgot to flash back to recovery and took it to a store and they still exchanged it without question. I later on exchanged that phone through customer support in the mail again forgetting to reset to stock. Do manufacturers even actually care? I always hear people say to reset to stock recovery but never actually have heard of anyone who has sent in a phone or taken a phone to a store and been rejected a warranty/exchange due to being rooted/modified firmware. Has this actually happened with anyone? Has anyone sent a phone through the mail, if so did they just send the phone back or charge you for a new one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bkrill:
Tried to exchange over chat. They said they couldn't verify my phone and the only way to exchange would be to take it to a store with a receipt.

Which i can't do cause i don't have the receipt.

Have you fixed phones that have had this problem before? I'm just worried that something is wrong with my power button physically. I did get it to boot once all the way but the power down menu kept popping up as if someone was pushing it. How do i know this can fix that problem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] belly1026:
My friend's phone was doing this but you should still be able to go into download mode for a few seconds before the phone shut off.

Once you're in download mode, try to ODIN stock rom on the phone and the phone WILL die in during the process.

At this point, when you try to boot the phone, you will get the same message that the OP does, "Firmware encountered an issue. Please sleect recovery mode in Kies and try again" before the phone die on you. They wouldn't be able to tell whether or not you had custom stock on the phone.

Don't worry about the receipt. Just bring it in, tell them that you were trying to flash the update and the phone died in the process and now you can't keep turned on long enough to ODIN back to stock. They will check your warranty status and NOT ask for receipt.

Or, you can just call them up (instead of chat) and tell them exactly the same thing and they can check your warranty status on the phone and you can save some time and gas.

In all of my experience with T-Mobile, in the store, chat, or over the phone, I've NEVER been asked for a receipt for a warranty exchange.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bkrill:
I was able to ODIN it back to stock. At least it looked like it worked. Wasn't able to boot still have the same problem. Took it to the tmobile store and the guy tried a bunch of different things (apparently they don't have a troubleshooting guide cause he just looked on google). After he couldn't figure it out for 30 mins he said he couldn't warranty it cause he wasn't able to verify the warranty on his system. Not sure if it was actually bought at tmobile (i got it from a guy off craigslist, and it worked great for 5 months).

Ended up taking it to a cellphone repair store nearby and the guy said he could figure out what was wrong with it for free and would then tell me the cost to fix it. Will find out tomorrow whats going on and report back if he finds out what was wrong
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bkrill:
Got my phone from the repair shop this morning. The guy said he tried everything and it still doesn't boot up. He thinks it might be something to do with the motherboard. I'm currently chatting with a samsung rep or is going to look into filing a service request to send my phone in for repair.

I will continue to report back for those who are having similar problems so you can determine your best plan of action. For me it seems to be through samsung but if you are able to warranty through tmobile that probably easier for most, they just couldn't verify my warranty
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] connexion2005:
This actually does sounds a lot more like a stuck power button than anything needing JTAG repair. This is commonly becoming an issue on the I727, I777 and T989 which use the same power button including many other Samsung devices. I offer a replacement for this button and have done 100's to these models to resolve issues just like this. Most customers described an identical scenario of the device just powering off and then boot looping. Also, this can be verified by device automatically powering on when a fresh battery is inserted. The button design is identical to the Captivate and many other devices of Galaxy S 1 descent which had issues just like this. The only difference is that the size is of the button is increased on the Galaxy S II variants. I don't know of anyone else to offer the power button repair other than myself so just shoot me a PM if you have any questions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Hey guys, so I have a white galaxy nexus and as we all know, there is no extended battery with a white back cover. I bought the extended battery and now want to know what you guys think I should do.

Should I paint the extended battery cover white? Or should I just slap one of these skins on the back and be done with it? http://www.decalgirl.com/artwork/428/Solid-State-White

From the looks of the pictures, the skin will cover the OEM battery back cover perfectly, not sure about the extended battery cover though. I had a cover from here on my Fascinate and it was great, so I wouldn't mind the skin route.

Someone painted their housing green a week or so ago and it would probably much more expensive to do that if I went the painting route.

OR, I know the GSM and Verizon/Sprint versions have different back covers, but I was looking at the white Verizon back cover on eBay and then I examined mine. It appears that the only difference in tabs on the back is mine has two in the bottom left and none on the bottom right, and the Verizon version has one on each corner. This would seem like a problem but on my housing there is three slots on the bottom - two for the bottom left of the back cover and one for the bottom right (which again, my back cover doesn't have a tab for, but the Verizon one does)

Or I guess I could get a case and stick with the original black extended back cover, but I baby my phones and don't really have a need for a case.. the Rearth Ringke slim is nice, but I don't think I'm willing to shell out $25 for a case with that little protection.

What does everyone think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I'd personally choose to use a case (if I was into cases) or a decal if it will fit the extended cover. Mainly because I'm not really handy enough to paint and get a good result. I'm sure if you (or someone you trust) was good with paint and mods and could do it, that'd be the best choice. And if you botch it, you could always buy more back covers to try again.

I don't think the Sprint or Verizon covers are an option. The device backs just aren't compatible (and you'd have their logos, ew).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
That's what I was thinking, I don't know anything about painting especially something like this. I'm going to go to the Verizon store and ask to use one of their back covers, because I'm pretty sure the white nexus can use more than one back cover, because I don't remember the grey one having these extra tab slots. Could be wrong though - could someone post their housing and back covers?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Would please like some opinions! You don't have to own a white nexus to have one D:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matika:
Actually, I just saw a third-party 3900 battery with NFC on taobao. And they got black and white back cover for u to choose.

I won't recommand u to get a Verizon white battery cover if u have a GSM GN.

Because that's what I did and the cover won't fit. I can give u the cover if u want,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
I didn't see that battery, I'll have to check it out!

I didn't think it would fit either, but I think the White GSM Nexus has an extra slot for the tabs on the Verizon one to fit, but I'm not positive.

Granted, it's for the Verizon model:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Origina...Accessories&hash=item4166488894#ht_858wt_1037

Or you can make your own. I didn't want to paint my original grey GSM extended battery cover and had a spare Verizon Galaxy Nexus back cover in hand. After trimming the door down, I got it to fit. Then came the paint and here's my version of a white back extended battery cover for the GSM Galaxy Nexus. It's not an exact fit nor is the color an exact match but it's close enough with what I had on hand at the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
How did you paint it? And do you think the extended white Verizon will just fit? I noticed my housing has a spot for a tab that isn't on the back cover so that's why I brought it up. I might just paint the extended back that comes with it if you can explain it :) are there any downsides you can see?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imaleecher:
I used spray paint that's made for plastic application. Just got the gloss white. As for fitment, it WILL NOT FIT until you do a lot of trimming on the back cover. I had my original GSM extended battery back door and tried and matched it with the Verizon extended battery back door by trimming most of the tabs and the grooves that raised the door up.

I would assume you could do this with the white backing but you would still need to trim it as what I did. An Xacto knife and about an hr of trimming (taking your time). Fitment is close but not 100% but hey, it's as close as we can get for a full white GSM Galaxy Nexus with the extended battery for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Do you think I can paint the GSM extended back and be fine?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imaleecher:
I don't know what you can and can't do. I just didn't want to mess up my original extended battery cover. That's why I did it on a spare cover. Be prepared to let it dry out for a few days before using the cover. And plus, no idea on how scratch resistance the new paint is. So.. you can do whatever you want; just be warned.
