i actually did it in cochin..visit a couple of service centres around your area n tell them you are short on cash and if there is any way to do it for a lesser amount

but BEWARE:: if you do it without a bill you get no warranty !!!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] princefarhaan:
s2 fried motherboard

I live in jeddah, can I ship it to cochin and ask them to repair it at the same cost, no service centers here that might assist with the low cost replacement. Do you have their address and number?

I have a fried motherboard too, gave it to the service center guys here in Jeddah and they say that it will cost me more than what it would to buy a used S2 :(

Probable cause (cause and effect, not necessarily correct from a technical perspective)

I think it could have been my car charger that might have fried it... assuming that i did see once that the battery dropped from 70% to 40% after i connected the charger and I was foolish enough to connect it when the phone was completely out of battery... yeah tell me about it. I purchased another battery too.. original with the hologram and everything but after a week or so the phone would just not boot up.

Can u tell me how much time is required to replace the MOTHERBOARD of Samsung Galaxy S2 ...and what's the waiting time to get the delivery of the phone ..coz i also faced the problem with my GS2 a week ago and it's been a week till now still not received the phone from service center.........and they updated my delivery status after installing a motherboard ........ a phone require overwrite...does it require a overwrite or not?.......... and if require how much time it takes.....This problem all happens only when I was updating my phone to official jellybean update and while rebooting the phone stucked on Welcome Screen the one with(SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 GT-I9100G)........Pls.HELP !!!!...The Service Centre also took a time of 3-4 days to get the part from it's office....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You have two choices re: motherboard replacement -

1) Samsung/service centre - New motherboard, retain original IMEI in most cases/dependant on country (Most expensive option).

2) Search eBay/elsewhere online for a 2nd hand motherboard (you do see them on their own occasionally), or more likely look for a broken phone (screen broken but otherwise OK, for example) you can take the motherboard from. You can either replace this yourself if you feel confident enough, or you can pay a local mobile repair shop to swap this motherboard for the dead one on your phone (Cheapest option). With this option your IMEI will change to that of the phone the board came from, which is no big deal normally (Do not try to restore your old IMEI via an EFS backup restore, fair chance you'll bork your phone if you do).

Samsung will not sell you a new motherboard on it's own. If an authorised service centre sells you a new one without them doing the labor of replacing the old one, you're very very lucky & Samsung would probably chuck a fit if they found out.

Costs will obviously vary widely whichever option you chose, dependent on country normally.

Looking good! Does the gamerz port have the 388mb of ram, I thought that was kernal related?

Sent using Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Yeah, it says that because it includes semaphore's kernel, which raises the max rom to 380, which we could do on our kernel's, but apparently that breaks a lot of stuff if you go much further then 350 (according to klin).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
is the wifi fixed in your port or do we have to do your fix after flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Just a word of advice, make sure you get permission from the devs! Also surely this will work with ICS roms right? Just swap out the SGS kernel with the SGP CM7 kernel and it should work (I think)

Sent by my Robot Butler
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
check over in the operation: ics for the 4.0 thread I believe they are already attemping to use the cm7 kernel to boot a cm9.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Yeah, it is fixed before you flash. Once I manage to iron out a few more bugs, I will probably release a "conversion pack" that fixes all the issues. I already have one that fixes wifi and gps, but bluetooth and camera have me stumped, and I do not want to replace the entire hw/lib folder, because some of these roms have lib optimizations, but I may have to.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Since I am merely redistributing their work, not incorporaring it into anything I have made, or taking any credit for it, I don't asking permission is necessary. I may be completely off base, but I think that as long as you give devs 100% credit, and link to their original work, it is okay. It may not be the best option, but neither is asking EVERY dev if I can port their rom, or ask permission for user-ported roms.

Youay have an idea there, althouh I think that zaclimon has tried it, and he said it wouldn't boot. I have 2 efs backups, so I guess I can try, although even if the kernel boots, I bet I will have to do a LOT more work before it is usable. I also believe that he said the issues may have been rom based, so here it goes, and wish me luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I've already tried with a cm7 kernel and I got an error of looping (netd1.0 starting) that's why I'm trying to do something. Now I need to backport 3.0.8 usb gadget drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Whoops, I meant you :o. I will try with a official cm9 build from the SGS forums, and see if that fares any better. Probably will not, but it doesn't hurt to try.

EDIT: well, nevermind about that. He seems to have pulled all of his download links, and I cannot get to the CM7 build. Oh well...

I am going to try anyway with the I9000 package since it seems to have EXT4 support, and I *think* that was what was bootlooping me earlier. This as all just my hopeful rationalization, of course ;). A lot farther out there, but maybe I can use a SGP5.0 kernel to get it booting. A LOT less likely, but hey, i'm experimenting :).

EDIT: I cannot try ICS, since I need to reboot into recovery a second time, and I cannot do that, as I have the intl bootloader on my US device, and it would require it to be booting first.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I think we should do like entrophy's because I get bored from mtd. Also just tried the gamerz rom port. As I see the camera works, don't know about bluetooth (it can turn on). Vibration works too. I was able to connect to wifi pretty fast and I have one word for this rom. FAST!!!!

Good job!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Well, thet camera shows a preview, but fails when a pic is taken, for some reason. Bluetooth does turn on, but is not seen by any other devices, and cannot scan for others either. I did do a little tweaking with Gamerz, so it will be even faster than it was already, which is pretty blazing! I have 2 more that I can put up (I have a preliminary package that I just adb push over the system files that works for now). I have also gotten the camera apk onto my rom, and it works really well! It doesn't take 5 MP pics, or record 720p video (which may be because I am using Terrasilent, which reduces the amount of Vram the system can have), but tap to autofocus and everything else works pretty well. I have a sneaking suspicion that the camera is soft limited, not hard-limited.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I also noted that the external sd card isn't working too (a problem with vold.fstab I'll correct it right now)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
I don't use an externel sdcard, so thanks for pointing that out! I will include a fixed version in my mod pack.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Here's the vold.fstab if you need it
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Okay, it seems that the zip hosed my partitions (converted them to yaffs2 and mtd), so I am going to perform a full restore, and just keep porting GB roms. As soon as you can get the usb gadget driver working, zaclimon, I guess I can keep working on it, but for now I will just keep to GB.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Two more roms up! I will probably not port any other unless I see an especially good one, but I will put up my mod pack tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dorfd1:
has anyone found out if the ported roms enable tv out or has someone found out if tv out support is in the i9000 kernal?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
TV out has to have hardware, or your not going anywhere. I think the galaxy player lacks the hardware unfortunately. If it does have the hardware, it was very dumb of Samsung not to enable it.

Sent using Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dorfd1:
what hardware does the galaxy s i9000 have that allows for tv out? I thought the galaxy s i9000 and the galaxy player 4.0 had the same gpu?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
If I read correctly, it had a special headphone jack that allowed an adapter to be connected for video output. The Gplayer lacks that port, so it is impossible to enable it. The software support is there and enabled, the hardware is not.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Mod pack up! This is an early release, but very usable for anyone who wants to port a rom, and knows what they are doing. I will update it in the coming days if people use it, but I am back to working on my main rom, so don't expect any miracles from me. Enjoy!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
As Han said, it needs a special earphone jack. I am not sure how to tell if it does have that special jack or not, though.

Sent using Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
I was reading some specs somewhere (as devs are wont to do), and I am 85% sure the 4.0 does not have it, although if someone has the SGS jack they can feel free to go ahead and try.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
tried all 3 ports, wifi would turn on then scan and would see the network for a split second then shut back off.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
You probably need to perform a full wipe or reapply my modpack, as wifi works perfectly for me on all 3 roms, as well as zaclimon.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Hey, just had an idea. The galaxy player is nearly the same as the gt-i9000, so we can run it's roms. The nexus s is essentially a galaxy s on the insides, right? So could we just as easily use a nexus s rom? I would personally love a pure android experience with no Samsung messing it up. :rolleyes:

Concerning the ports, does the dialer app work? It could be an important peice to the puzzle of getting hands free Bluetooth profile working.

Sent using Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Hmm, it may work, but a lot more stuff will be broken initially. Also, the dialer app technically works, but does not make any calls (of course).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Yeah, I was just thinking because people were saying you had to have dialer enabled to use the hands free profile.

Screen Quality

Is it true that the screen quality on the Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 is much better/cleaner when running a GT-I9000 rom?

Can anyone post some comparison pics?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
It seems clearer, probably due to better display values (gamma,contrast,etc.). Pics would not be effective, because they would look the same on a monitor. You need to see it for yourself to decide.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] minipot:
Just got back to England after a trip to Normandy and glad to see this Sewell as a slight redesign to the look of the xDA website.

Anyeah for the purported Rom do I just flash the zip from a galaxy player kernel e.g. Steve's kernel

Or do I do the same steps as converting a Rom?

Also is this ics I wasn't fully sure if it was.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Yes, you must flash a Gplayer kernel AFTER you flash one of these zips. It will bootloop until you do. Unfortunately, these are not ICS, but as soon as a working kernel is made, I will gety right on creating ICS roms.

100% off topic, but I just preordered my Nexus 7, and it should arrive soon :).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ChaosChris:
I want to port miui gb from sgs, do you think its working with your mod pack?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
It might, depending on whether it has a custom kernel modded for MIUI in it (which I believe some ports do). You can always flash it and see what happens, worse-case scenario you have to reflash your rom+kernel, so there's no risk in trying. But if it boots, yes, this modpack should patch it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ChaosChris:
Okay thanks, can i replace the system directory on pc and flash the zip and then the sgp kernel or must i flash the miui rom then a sgp kernel and paste then the system directory? sry for my bad english
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
You can do it either way, I just instructed people to replace the files when they are already on-disk for people who don't know how to edit CWM zips.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ChaosChris:
Okay i had added the Modpack to the galaxy s miui 2.4.6, but can't test it today if someone is interested i uploaded at at my g drive but you must flash after the zip a sgp 4 kernel ....

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ChaosChris:
lol it flash without an eroor but after the boot it boots in my old rom
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ChaosChris:
In the Saurom you forgot to replace the vold.conf and vold.fstab because the ext. sd is not mounted :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Yeah, I meant to do that (zaclimon I think) even gave me the 4.0 vold's, but I have not gotten around to applying it into my modpack yet (I probably should soon). As to your flashing issue, try manually wiping /system before flashing (via the mounts option in cwm), as I have found that CWM can be a little screwy if everything is not set up perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ChaosChris:

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Hmm, the miui port you are using may be CM based (I think some of them are), or using a different partition filesystem than what our kernel can support. Thanks for correcting my mod pack! I will add it to the OP as soon as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ChaosChris:

Seems that there is something very strange on the port :/

I flashed it again and it dosent boot :eek: , but i know that it has booted before dont know why but i know that after it has booted (i was on dream 2.2 krprl and i flashed it with formating system before and i had after flashing all my user data -> i dont wiped the data partionion becouse when i do it my home button dosent work (i thin there is a file in /data or /dbdata for the button) ) i mentioned that there where some fc´s in google-service framework and that i cant unmount /system in cmw and i cant flash something becouse the /system was not accessable :eek: so i think there is something strange in the partitions ..... but here i have uploaded the file at my drive

on the 2th flash ( the one that dosent boot) i was on saurom from galaxy s dont know if there the problem is

Edit: figured out why it dosent Boot dont wipe / Format the system partition that ends up in mount errors. Edit the update-script so that the script formats the /system partition. I dont tested it with that port but that fixed the Boot problems on my own MIUI port :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Did you try any mount commands via adb? Our CWM is VERY buggy, and sometimes when things are a little messed up, you need to manually mount, then wipe the partitions. I dunno if that will help you, but it's worked before for me. Good luck on your port!

BTW, I uploaded V2 of my modpack, thanks again ChaosChris!

Also, if you look in my EtherealRom thread, I have a settings.db attached in the last few pages with instructions on how to fix the home button. Hopefully that will fix it for you.
