it it exactly the symptom of the emmc bug ?

Can I do anything from DL Mode ?

Also, my flash counter was 0 before trying to fix it. Obviously now it is not anymore and I can't even send it back to the shop because of this.

What is the best way to reset the counter so I can use the warranty ?

Thanks guys

and honestly, I did researches, I don't get how I could miss it, but to be fair it was not mentioned on any guide.

It was not even on the main Galaxy s2 thread :

Search well before trying and even turning your phone off

In odin, flash older bootloader from ics 4.0.3 and use the JIG cable trick (ebay) to reset counter

Or...

Wipe again your phone in cwm5 you flash from older kernels in odin until your phone is dead for real (no one will see the counter) :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] megosu:
ok, I'm mad at this whole story, but I'll stop spending more time on it (2 days!!!).

I have ordered a JIG cable, and will try to boot with an older bootloader.

you reckon 4.0.3 will work ?

By any chance, do you have 1 file I can DL and that will work for sure with the JIG to reset the counter ?

thanks again guys for your support, at least you have put a smile on my face and I can assure you it didn't happen since the whole thing went wrong :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shoey63:
Best way to get warranty claim is to hose bootloaders. Phone won't turn on at all after that. No download or recovery at all! And then there is the microwave oven.....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] megosu:
lol this is the dark side !! :)

I will try with the Jig as soon as I receive it.

maybe they'll get me a S3 instead :)

In fact it seems you need the GB bootloader, not ICS

Scroll down there. There is a big red box with bootloader and rom links

Also, please post in General section while waiting for the JIG. You'll probably get better help than here.

Put something like: partial /data corruption from superbrick bug

describe your issue and hope for the help

Hi,

are we pretty sure it is the mmc bug?

I opened a thread and people are thinking it should be fixable (did all they said but no luck, still stuck on the boot screen or unable to flash Data):

[Galaxy S II Android Development] megosu:
Hi guys,

so here are the news:

I received my jig, I flashed an old bootloader, and I was able to reset the counters. *HURRAY*

in DL mode, now it says:

no custom rom

Samsung official

count 0

and if I try to boot it, it stays on the very first screen/logo (Samsung GALAXY SII GT-9100), the non animated logo, stays on it for about 5 min then restart and goes back to the same very first logo. Is it good enough to claim warranty ?

The last rom I have flashed is an official one from my carrier, not the latest though... I think it is 2.3.6 and I had 4.0.4 before the whole thing got corrupted in the first place.

Does it matter warranty wise ?

Also, I still have the old bootloader that I have flashed from another thread of XDA.

Do I need to flash the 4.0.4 back ? What do you reckon is the safest to play here ?

Thanks guys for all your support !

I'm starting to see the light

PS: I still cannot access recovery mode... but DL mode is fine.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Well, look at the last official Kies version for your ROM

Download it from Sammobile.com

Flash it in odin

You are now safe for warranty
[Galaxy S II Android Development] megosu:
Will it update everything ? ( bootloader, kernel... And wipe all I did ? (like rooting it).

Also, previously I had the carrier logo during boot, last time I try the last one from sammobile, it didn't have the carrier logo.

Assuming it will reach the logo when booted, is it bad if it is not the same anymore ?

Thanks

Quick Question though ........ If i am building from Source, How could I add these commands ??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shoey63:
Just include them in updater-script. And don't forget to use the patched update binary (CRUCIAL)!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kanishkaggarwal:
THANKS!!! but how to use?

Thanks a TON!!! but can you tell me how to use these scripts? I know it is a noob question, but if you could provide directions on how to use it, then it would be of even greater help.

Also can we use this script if the phone has been bricked? I mean that after flashing and doing a wipe the phone has been bricked and then can we use it to revive the phone?

My phone was bricked around few months back and I was out of warranty. I reset the counter, tried to flash the official firmware but it did not help. Finally used different pit files to revive the phone. I took it to the service center and told them that I have lost around 4 GB after upgrading firmware. They told me that it might be because of the firmware and suggested that they will flash a new firmware to get back the space. When they tried to flash it and it bricked again. I pretended, that its their fault and I want my phone back in working condition. They did changed my phone's motherboard but they charged me for the firmware upgrade. I did pay them, because I knew I got my phone fixed for a much less price. But recently I check my phone for the emmc bug and it is still the crazy insane chip. I have just rooted my phone since this happened.

So in short I want to try different firmwares or CyanogenMod, but I don't want to repeat the whole scene and pay for the firmware upgrades to service center. Please let me know if this script will help and the directions on how to use it.

Glad they have replaced Motherboard. So what ROM did they install? Gingerbread, ICS or JellBean? Go to settings /about phone, and post a screenshot, or just post "build number"

Edit: Phil3759 has safe kernels that can be used instead of this script.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kanishkaggarwal:
They installed the 4.0.4 ICS firmware with build no. - IMM76D.XWLPW
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shoey63:
Go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31310884 and put Philz XXLPW zip on ExtSdCard. Boot into stock recovery and flash from external storage. You will then have Philz safe stock kernel plus root plus advanced CWM recovery - ready for wipes and flashing new zip ROMs.

Edit: After flashing, go back into recovery and you will see that you are on PhilZ. Explore and enjoy:thumbup:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] haybill:
HI,

these may seem like dumb questions--apologies, if so--

not too sure what difference between the Wipe Data System cache 1 and 2 is??

Also, would it be alright to use Philz [ Wipe Data/System/Cache] scripts and then Flash a ROM in Recovery--or must we do it using ODIN from Download mode--as stated in the Thread earlier??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shoey63:
If you want to flash a ROM, you have to be on a safe kernel. What is your device?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] haybill:
Sorry for delay--

o

Using S2 19100--with Biftor v.5 and Dorimanx 7.44

But just wondering about using the wipe before going to Samsung Leak--XLSJ or XLS8--Deodexed, or Non-Deodexed.

Not that I don't like V.5 [ though, at the moment my fav. Biftor is 4.7] but haven't tried a Stock Samsung recently.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shoey63:
Well you are already on a custom kernel so it should be safe for flashing and wiping.

Try LSJ ROM with PhilZ LS8 kernel. Good combo apparently.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] haybill:
Thanks--I will follow your recommendations,

and I should use the Sammy Wipe from Philz, also??

BTW--I read somewhere that, if on Dorimanx 7.44, or other Dorimanx, we should enter the STweaks settings and use

'Restire Home Key For Other Kernels'--before changing to a new Kernel--correct??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shoey63:
I would do it this way:

Get Philz LS8 (zip), put it on extSdCard, flash it from current recovery, reboot recovery, go to Philz Settings and perform /Clean before flash new Rom. Now flash LSJ. After that boot into (now stock) recovery and flash LS8 kernel again. Done - On JB, rooted, safe kernel and Philz CWM recovery:thumbup:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] haybill:
Thanks--will give it a go--I am just trying the new Biftor 5.1 and so far I'm pretty happy with it.

Just flash a Philz kernel and wipe from it's recovery.

If you insist on wiping on pure stock, then this tool is safe to flash from any ICS or JB stock recovery. Not sure about the other tool you are referring to.

The difference between wiping this way and using #*blah blah on keypad is that a safer wiping command is used.

[General Questions and Answers] DrB0b:
Gentlemen and ladies,

As stated in the title I have a cheap MID M1050 Tablet rocking the 4.0 Android OS. Works fine for what they were purchased for but I am doing a job which requires the ability to access Ad Hoc networks which this does not do well. Sometimes it will see it, sometimes it will connect to it and sometimes it will anger the tablet gods and then it will not connect to any network. Being new to the rooting community, I was directed here for questions and answers but I haven't found the area for this particular device so if there is one, please link me to it because I searched the hole site for this model and it returned nothing.

My main question would be, if a successful root was done on this device, would I have either:

A) Greater functionality in the wifi abilities, i.e. able to connect to Ad Hocs at will

B) Any ability to change the way this device connects wirelessly so I make the changes I have found to enable the Ad Hoc connectivity

If so, would rooting with a custom ROM be similar as other tablets rocking 4.0 or would this one have its own way to go about it?

Not asking for someone to hold my hand through this but would like some opinion, links, and any documentation you would have on the subject. Looking to start my rooting on this simple device for the above and to play with battery conservation.

I assume this post is located in the wrong location and if so, mods please move it to the correct area. As is obvious with my first post, new to the forum and hoping to meet some helpful people on ye ol' internets.

Thanks all.
[General Questions and Answers] DrB0b:
Assuming this means no one is familiar with this brand or model which I expected. Ill poke around on Google some more and see what I can come up with and post my findings here for others to search. Very curious on the Ad Hoc and Android OS issue and guess I will post that question in the Networking section if I cannot find a suitable answer searching the site and Google.

Thanks again.

Hi,

it's possible to flash only new/changed part of the rom?

Now im on ARHD 9.2.0 ( one x), and actual version is 9.3.1, but if i flash it i will loose all flashed mods ( battery icon, sense 4.5 camera, APM and EQS).

Thank you.
[HTC One X] Awt67:
If you are coming from older version of a ROM it should not affect current mods. Just remember not to wipe data and everything should be ok
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Yes it will.

You'll have to flash the mods again.
[HTC One X] nikolasokol:
I have to flash all mod's again, after every rom "update". And i didn't wipe data, so everything else is ok, settings, apps, messages, wallpaper, even alarm's. but i have to flash every mod again

I know, but I thought that maybe there is another way to update without losing installed mods.

and what about https://www.otaupdatecenter.pro/ ?
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Mods are written for a certian base, if you're moving up in base then the mods will have to be re-written unless otherwise stated
[HTC One X] nikolasokol:
It is the same base 2.17. .

so mods should remain after flashing new rom?

but i always have to flash them after flashing new rom.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
The issue is when flashing the new ROM it obviously overwrites the Mods so you'll still have to flash them after flashing the ROM. You won't have to wipe data, though
[HTC One X] forumhookersdotcom:
That's the reason I switched to stock again . I need the Rom which doesnt need full wipe when ever base change . Like how HTC sends OTA
[HTC One X] nikolasokol:
I know, so i flash new version of rom, without wipe, then mods, but after flashing mods, their settings are the same as before on old rom :)

Some roms like viperX have OTA. and it's like stock OTA update, only few MB and not whole rom.
[HTC One X] jotha:
A "mod" is basically a modified framework-file that replaces the original framework-file when flashed. For instance a battery% mod is part of the file systemUI.apk . As you cannot install only parts of that file, the whole file is replaced by the mod. The other way round of course, any new rom will again flash the original version of that file, thus overwriting and deleting the mod.

That is good ofc when the new rom NEEDS another systemui.apk, because the old, modded one would bring trouble. But if you stay on the same base it means additional work.

That is unavoidable unfortunately, at least in general (there are some theming mods that avoid that, but that would work only when the only modded files are graphics, not when code is involved).

I hope that explains the problem and it's reasons a bit.
[HTC One X] nikolasokol:

Then I tried something else that doubled my internet speed it may not work on non sense Roms, but you can try it.

Open your dial pad, type in *#*#4636#*#*

Edit:tap on phone information,

then go towards the bottom of the page. Tap on "set preferred network type" then select CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto, then your 3g should turn off then back on. Next go towards the very bottom of the screen and there is a button that says toggle dns I believe. (Sorry, I'm on my phone so I can't check) hit that so it says 0.0.0.0 allowed. Then all you have to do is tap your home key and it'll save by itself. I have noticed that this won't stay there if you restart your phone, but once you get used to it it's pretty quick to set. I don't reboot every five minutes so it doesn't bother me. It's a small price to pay for fast internet!. My internet speed used to be about 200-300 download, now I see up to 2200Kb download.
