Quick response... thanks again!

Bad usb on phone is certainly possible, but I've never had a problem with it before.

I can believe the pc usb port might be finicky. Because historically on my Windows 7 PC, every once in awhile when I insert a flash drive memory stick, it does not get recognized. I will see if I can try a 3rd computer.

Regarding "run as administator":

When I right-click on the file, I don't see any option for "run as administrator" in either my Windows 7 pc or my Windows Vista pc.

So I have just been double-clicking the file. I think the Windows Vista asked me if I trusted the program and I said yes. Windows 7 just launches it.

Maybe there's some setting I need to change somewhere in order to get this "run as administator" ....I will google that... tomorrow. Right now, my pillow awaits.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Did you try holding shift while right clicking?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Thanks for pointing out the imprecise grammar, Pete.

I corrected the op.

Recheck step 6 and 7.

To get heimdall to install its drivers, Zadig, you need the initial Samsung Android drivers. so when you pull down the zadig menu, Samsung Adroid device should show up.

Then reboot the PC.

Then try connect in dl mode again.

You had it at some point...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
Thanks all.

That is now very clear qkster. (Actually it was reasonably clear before and I was pretty sure I knew what you meant, but just wanted to double check in case I was misunderstanding something)

I've had some trouble running as administrator, apparenlty others don't

Here's my difficulties and how I resolved it (I think):

DIFFICULTIES IN RUN-AS-ADMINISTRATOR.

If I right-click on an executable file (anything.exe), I get option to run as administrator. Great.

If I right click on a jar file (like the one I'm trying to run), no such option. Sad.

Same thing with short-cuts.

If I right-click on shortcut to exe, I can choose compatibility tab and select run as administrator. Great.

If I right-click on shortcut to jar, there is no compatibility tab. Sad.

HOW I RESOLVED RUN-AS-ADMINISTRATOR (I think)

I found some instructions for specifically for running jar as administrator here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...r-with-administrators-privileges-on-windows-7

Specifically, click start, type cmd in the window just above start, right-click on the cmd result, and click "run as administrator.

That takes you to an elevated command prompt with the word administrator in the window heading.

Navigate to the directory and type

java -jar myfile.jar

where myfile is your file name (I renamed it to shorter name to make it easier).

RESULT:

I was able to launch Heimdal from the elevated command prompt.

Unfortunately, results have been the same thus far when using Heimdall launched from elevated command prompt as the previously reported results.

QUESTION: is there any way to check the program truly has admin priveleges?... it didn't ask any permission when launching Heimdall from the elevated command prompt.. the only permission asked was when launched cmd from the windows start menu screen.

I will repeat a few of yesterdays trials.

If those are unsuccessful, I think next step is trying GTG's package with ODIN.

QUESTION: Is there any way to clear any settings loaded into the USB ports by the Heimdall so they don't interfere with ODIN?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
For Odin, just install the drivers you see at the iset page or kies drivers.

If you had a pc, one user when you log on, it is auto assume admin.

You can also go to control panel, users, look at privileges
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
Success!

Good news – success.

I noticed my windows Vista computer was trying to recognize my phone as a “gadget serial” device, when I plugged it in, even before 2nd screen of Heimdall. (Windows asked "do you want to install drivers for your Gadget serial device?")

"Gadget Serial" is one of several choices showing on both my computers in the 2nd screen of Heimdall.

Google showed several links like this one indicating Samsung phones treat the Gadget serial driver the same as the Samsung driver

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_(AT&T):_Full_Update_Guide

(Still on my Vista computer) I declined to install that driver in the windows, but selected the Gadget serial driver in 2nd Heimdal screen. Driver installation timed out.

I went to my Windows 7 computer and did the same thing.

The choices on the 2nd Heimdal screen included “Gadget serial” and “Gadget serial control”

I selected “Gadget serial”.

The flash was successful!

I left the phone connected during reboot.

There were several rainbow screens during reboot process. That made my heart skip, but the rainbows eventually went away and rebooted into gingerbread setup.

Checking with file manager, all my files are still there.

It is a huge sigh of relief that my phone will apparently not be a brick. Maybe I’ll be more careful with everything next time

QUESTIONS:

Do you think those rainbow screens during boot were related to phone being still connected to PC during reboot ?

Should I do factory reset?

If I do factory reset, will I lose the “root” feature?

A HUGE THANKS to everyone who responded in this thread. A lot of good advice to keep me on the right track.

Really.... I cannot say enough how much it helped me.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Once it worked, save that port and that cable for "un bricking". Uclb3, uckj4 for gb. Ucke3 for froyo.

These are complete stock packages. Factory restore will reset and erase all installed apps and left over for a clean base to flash something else.

These firmware are not rooted. Factory restore on the stock version will not change root. Factory restore or reset rooted firmware will not alter root access.

See the second posts on the heimdall thread for recovery.

No worries re funny colors...if your phone boot and works, it works.

See my others threads for other heimdall stuff
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
:)

Thanks, Pete. Nice job on all the research that you did to recover your phone.

Making errors is a great way to learn. Just need to remember what you did when you were sweating it out.

Now, you're the expert. You can start helping other fools. :) (Have you read my "Do I need root" thread? Check the "How To" first post.

Once you have a good grasp on the recovery tools, you can flash and bork and then start over again.

If you review some of my threads, you will start to understand some of the details that may make more sense.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
That’s a good point. Once I got it working and downloaded UCLB3, the next download mode for Entropy’s DD was super-easy. I’m gong to tape a piece of paper over that USB port to keep it as-is and should be a breeze if there’s a next time.

Yes I had read that, a good read. Covers all the bases that someone should think about, in a humorous way with some grains of truth.

=====NEW SUBJECT:====

I have to take a detour to mention that in that earlier case (flashing custom ROM’s last weekend), I also got into a bootloop coming back from both Ethereal and Aeon to my Froyo backup saved with Infuse Toolkit, as mentioned here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30436087&highlight=+thank+#post30436087

The reason as you explained to me was that I had a GB kernel in (from Ethereal and AEON), and I restored my ROM to Froyo but never restored my kernel to Froyo.

In that earlier bootloop, I was able to get to CWM by pressing/releasing the three buttons during the brief 2-3 second period while the display was off (in between displaying Samsung).

But I was not so lucky during my more recent misadventure this past Monday (which is why I was trying to recover using your package in download mode). In this more recent case, I went from Infusion2.0/lagfixed kernel back to stock Froyo kernel (without first disabling voodoo/lagfix) and got a bootloop, but I would not get CWM during this bootloop.

I guess maybe the reason for this difference (why I could get CWM in one bootloop and not the other), is that in this more recent case, my file system (voodoo lagfixed) was not compatible with my kernel (going back to stock Froyo kernel). Whereas in the earlier case even though my kernel was incompatible with my ROM, my kernel was compatible with my file system (both voodoo/lagfixed since my Froyo had been running Infusion 2.0, lagfixed). CWM needs for the kernel and file system to be compatible, but it doesn't care about the ROM. Does that sound right?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Getting in cwm recovery using 3 buttons is a bit tricky at times.

It does take some practice.

You can get into cwm recovery using 3 buttons technique from a kernel with cwm enabled if that kernel is residing in the kernel and recovery partition - no matter what the underlying firmware or modem.

Ex: if you had froyo (2.2.1) kernel - defuse - and GB(2.3.6) firmware, it will not boot but you will be able to get into cwm and flash a different firmware package. The newly flash firmware can be 2.2.1 or 2.3.6 and it will boot if the package had a new appropriate kernel.

Ex2: In order for cwm to flash the new package, the updater-script for that cwm version has to be able to execute the new package command. If you have flashed cwm 6.xxxx on JB, if will not flash an older firmware package GB. You will need to downgrade the kernel through Odin or Heimdall in download mode, which will bypass cwm-updater scripting.

Lets say you were on 2.3.6, Aeon. You used the tool kit to restore your 2.2.1 froyo back up, to get the back up to boot, you will need to flash a 2.2.1 kernel.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25526638&postcount=1

In this post, there is a froyo community kernel that will boot your 2.2.1 backed up firmware. It is flashed in DL mode. When you boot looped, you can power off and stick in the usb jig or battery pull and go into dl mode and heimdall 1 click the froyo kernel. Adam Outler also has a defuse kernel in heimdall that you can use to boot the 2.2.1 firmware.

Voodoo ext4 is a files system. RFS is Samsung file system. You can disable voodoo in cwm. This really doesnt make too much different regarding the boot loop issue with the mismatch kernel and firmware. You can run the defuse kernel with 2.2.1 firmware with voodoo(ext4) on or voodoo off(rfs)

Hi guys, new to both android and this forum so please cut me some slack! This appeared on the screen of my GSIII this morning and I don't know how I did it, any ideas what is it and how to get rid of it? From what I can tell it seems to be a list of active programs or instructions all tied to a bar graph, depending on how busy the phone gets depends on how much colour you can see against each individual item.

Any help is really appreciated....cheers Paul

[HTC EVO 3D] SinisterSamsung:
Im trying to figure out why my EVO 3D's screen is not turning on. There is a vibration to signal boot. Phone is discharging battery yet steady red light is on. Operating System boots fine, and i was able to plug it into an HDTV to see what was going on, on the screen (LCD is BLACK/not receiving signal or power)

Self-repair history:

Shattered digitizer from throwing the phone on concrete ---> ordered digitizer glass and repaired successfully but did not adhere it to the bezel.

The flex on the digitizer wore out. I was on MikVirgin 1.01 (ICS) so i used a bluetooth mouse and keyboard to use the phone (not too fun in the long run)

The LCD went out one day after an interview.... i took the battery out about 5 minutes later and it booted with the LCD working.

-Bezel was warped

-No Touch Glass (digitizer)

-LCD died completely after i opened the phone up again to see if there was a part missing inside i had seen in a teardown of an Evo 3D on youtube.

:'[

Ordered the entire touch/bezel/middlehousing/LCD (front) assembly.

Got here today....

LCD STILL OUT... and whats more is that the moment i boot i get a confirmation vibration then a steadt red light... and its NOT charging.

O.S. is completely functional... i believe it may be a hardware issue, display related of coarse.

My question is, what are my options at this point for repair seeing as the LCD had givin signs of being finnicky before completely dying outright.

I have a $70 assembly sitting here lookin reaal nice and im hoping im not completely screwed. :[
[HTC EVO 3D] SinisterSamsung:
Heres a final update. It WAS the motherboard, although the specific part of which was damaged i could not pinpoint. A used evo 3D off of craigslist i managed to get the seller to agree on 60$ for with an MEID i verified clean i extracted, and used my mint assembly. Its possible to ALWAYS fix evo 3d for less than deductible if you can consistantly find sweet deals like that. My phone is now officially three diffrent PG86100's together into one. It was definitly worth any money lost in the experiance to learn and confirm my ability and jugement on the repair. If you can build a custom PC or repair one (better yet), I would recommend attempting a smartphone repair at least once.

Whats in the extras menu?

- change bootanimation

(this lets you select a bootanimation form your internal sdcard. it backs up your current bootanimation to /{internal sdcard}/clockworkmod/ba_backup/. it only backs up the original bootanimation so if you keep changing your bootanimation you will still only have your original one in ba_backup.)

- enable/disable one confirm

(this makes it so you only have to scroll through one confirm selection when installing something instead of having to go through 10 of them to click yes)

- hide/show backup & restore progress

(this makes it so the progress bar when you backup/restore doesnt show up and makes backups/restores a bit faster since it doesnt have to show you the progress and files its backing up)

- select android_secure on internal/external

(use this to select where you have .android_secure. default is internal, so if you have it on external make sure to choose this once to set it up)

- aroma file manager

(file explorer)

- create custom zip

(this will create a custom rom from the currently installed files you have on your phone. it takes your /system partition and /boot partition and makes them into a zip file ready to be flashed. the end product will be in clockworkmod/custom_rom/. this has recently been fixed to work on all phones/roms

- choose custom openrecoveryscript

(read THIS)

- recovery info

(shows the version of recovery and the build date)

- Special Backup & Restore

(backup and restore your kernel/boot and /misc partitions)

- Misc Nandroid Settings

(change time zone, turn preload support on/off (default is off), enable md5 checking)

thats already been talked about. the first backup takes longer because of the dedupe format. incremental backups are much quicker. do a google search for koush dedupe clockworkmod 6 and youll see. i dont have the energy to explain it again.

correct. because /sdcard/external_sd is how your OS mounts it. but in recovery it will be mounted as /sdcard. for samsung devices the stock way to mount storage is: internal = /emmc, external = /sdcard. depending on what rom you use though the developer of that rom may change the way that the OS mounts it because he prefers a different way. but in recovery i set it to be internal = /emmc, external = /sdcard

It has never really mattered. This time it was MIUI JB. But, keep in mind, my problem wasn't with flashing the ROM itself (it was at first). But after I tried that ROM, I tried flashing other (known stable) ROMs and it froze every time.

I've had problems with touch cwm every since they went touch. I have no issues with non-touch or TWRP, however. Maybe it's my phone (unique hardware)?

The reason I asked if it is MIUI is that it did something to my phone upon flashing it and I need Odin to bring it back to life.

Here is how I fixed my phone: Odin recovery all over again, then run Darkside superwipe. After that flash whayever and the hangs should be gone. But they start all over again if you try to flash MIUI again. I have no idea why.

Going back to stock with Odin doesn't fix this.
