If you have a hard bricked t989, and some other devices with Qualcomm chips, the device doesn't boot, or show any signs of life. You will see in device manager on Windows a Qualcomm download device. I loaded a drive I found here at XDA, and it is a COM port. In ODIN it is seen, but will never connect in trying to flash anything, it always hangs at "starting connection.." but QPST can see the device also! There are few guilds to building an image for QPST to flash. It requires a few files that I think are in the .md5 files for a device. Now QPST can build the image with an exe in one of its program's folders and the image files and an xml to set the partitions. I have a hard bricked phone and want to use this method to repair the phone. It could be ready to publish here with the files (minus the QPST parts, but anyone could get those via Google) and a clear tutorial if anyone would like to help me with this, just send me a message. If I work on this alone, it may take a few weeks. I need to learn about this device and the xml format for this process. I was handed this phone in a softbrick state with very little battery life in it. I went to ODIN stock image (I got the E4GT so I knew some of this from my own device) The image download I got here at XDA came with a PIT file and as I loaded the PDA file to flash I missed the PIT file had loaded too! With a little help I could have a free solution up in a few days. This is a multi-device solution. Many devices with Qualcomm Download mode could be recovered with this. No opening, JTAG tools, just your usb cable and your phone. Anybody think they know what I'm talking about and want to help?

You got the driver loaded for Qualcomm download mode and no other signs of life on your device? I seen the dell streak 7 forms have this happening to them too. You know anything about the partition tables on your device? Have you ever used qpst or qxdm?

If you made this post back in June when my phone was hardbricked, I might have been of some more use to you! I am completely in support of your efforts. I sent my to mobiletechvideos as my attempts to get it back were futile. I lacked the qualcomm processor, the programs, the electrodes or whatever the hell connects the phone motherboard to the processor. If you can achieve a ressurection via USB you will etch yourself a god amongst men :eek:

Once again good luck!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] E:V:A:
This is the guide you should look at. I think he even has the same processor as you do...

But there's no hope for you to be successful, unless you know exactly how your partition table should look...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daxxone:
Maybe QXDM is needed for the modem...or commands

Everyone says modem is a hidden partition. To make changes to NV memory in CDMA devices (and I assume this is similar on GSM), such as ESN rebuilding and some DATA parameter changes, you need to send a security code to unlock that section before writing to that area. This is common for samungs. They used 16 digits for their codes. If the code is sent via QXDM command then the modem memory should write just fine. The other post mentioned in this thred by E:V:A has some helpful bits. If it wasn't in a dev section I would post this little tip there to help. (I don't have enough posts just yet). Now an issue with using QXDM to send the security code, is QXDM will hold the com port even after closing the app. QPST may be able to use it, but I think it would just say the com is busy. There is a place to send this code to the device in QPST, I just don't know where. CDMA workshop will release the com port when the app is closed, so that would be one way to send the code and get back to program to flash the files.

The big thing here is getting a bootloader and a modem, mostly because ODIN needs a modem to open a com port to the usb on the phone. The security code must be in the modem.bin. As I remember one theory being that ODIN loads the modem to RAM (of some sort, vRAM? I'm not sure here) and it gets sent after a check, at boot time. CWM can just push it there with no check first. If you can boot after flashing your images, you should try flashing CWM, and then flashing a modem from there. You should be golden then.

I don't have this device anymore...

just to let you know. I have a D710 that I use daily on Cricket. I also got one the other day, it has i9100 bootloader and I'm looking to unbrick it. It boots, just no radios ( well bluetooth is on, just doesn't seem to get files sent ) and no usb. The phone I had that started me on this was not mine, and has been returned to the owner. All of this is related in one way or another, I seen a few devices that brick like this. This is a way around jtag, so some that know may not want it to be known. I tried talking with a guy on ebay doing the jtag about some of this, and he quit responding after I started talking about QPST and a usb unbrick. I don't see this as putting them out of work, just changing the way the work is done. It could be a remote service, done with a usb cable, or maybe a new kind of jig. It will happen at some point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alex9x:
done with riffbox

today receive riff box and repair brick with jtag.

as i understand, it can be unbricked with QPST softwate with backup, maked with QPST...

or maybe with known address and bootblock... (manual write image to known address)

or maybe fullflash backup byte to byte...

riffbox flash about 16mb and i think it can be done with QPST software.

I flashed to a rooted stock rom and everything worked fine, although I was getting nothing but force closes. So I decided to flash back to stock non-rooted. Odin got suck during "system" so I unplugged the phone from the pc, closed odin, removed the battery and reinserted it, booted into download mode, and tried to flash again. now, odin just keeps getting stuck no matter what I try to flash it with. I also tried doing the "unbrick phone using international gsm boot image" but it's currently stuck on "getting pit for mapping"..

Note: Before I tried flashing to a rooted stock rom, I was on UCALH9, and the rooted stock rom was a UCALG1, and the non-rooted stock rom was UCALG1... I don't know if that will make a difference or not but I thought i'd just put that up there as a reference maybe

Plz put solved in ur OP
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Okay so I went searching the other day for how AT&T was disabling the tethering on their firmware requiring people to have a tethering plan. I remembered from my Motorola Atrix days that we changed a setting in the com.android.providers.settings file through sqlite that enabled it on that device. So I started looking in the same place. While I didn't find it in the exact same place in that file (system table) but I did find a tether_supported entry in the secure table. That value was set to 0.

I tried to change it via sqlite to 1 but I get "error code 5 database is locked". Got some help from Bin4ry on what to try and used fuser through busybox to try an kill whatever was using the database:

"# fuser settings.db

it will tell you the program wich is currently using the database, that is the reason why it is locked, for example

> settings.db : 12345

where 12345 is the PID, now you can go for:

# kill -9 12345

this should kill the process which locks the database, now try to edit again."

But it said it couldn't find such file or directory either on the settings.db (which is the database file in com.android.providers.settings) nor could it find com.android.providers.settings.

So I am posting this here hoping someone else might have ideas or things we can try to get that settings changed to see if we can enable the built-in tethering on the AT&T firmware.

Why not just use the lt28i firmware? well some people might want to keep the stock firmware and in my usage it seemed to run smoother than international. Let's see if we can get this figured out.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
Save the file to your pc edit it and reflash a edited version?

What about making a backup and editing it there then backing up your phone with it? I think app backup and restore has it in .smec_fullbackup
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
The com.android.provider.settings file is not backed up via Backup & Restore.

Copied the file to SD card then edited and copied back to the /data/data folder and rebooted but got a bootloop. Reflashing now and will try again (might have messed up the permissions when copying back)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
Yeah I looked at the wrong one :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Hmm so after a reflash to stock I don't see that tether settings in the settings.db anymore. So back to square one. In the build.prop there is a tether entitlement line but if you change that to anything but 1 you lose the tethering settings completely.

There has to be somewhere else that is causing the phone to run the tether-entitle-service.apk that is found in /system/app Have to figure out what is causing that app to be ran which checks to see if you have the service with AT&T. Could be in a framework file somewhere too. The investigation continues.

As a quick fix, freezing the apk with Titanium Backup appears to have worked. I will try to confirm soon.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Yeh it took a little while and a few times be trying to turn tethering on before that value showed up for me. I think its a dead end for the com.android.providers.settings file to enable tethering.

I uploaded the settings.apk, framwork-res.apk and tether-entitle-service.apk which is found in the system/app folder. When I extract that file and look at the androidmanifest.xml I get the following:

You know it seems like the app gets told hey, he can use tethering turn it on or it says no he cannot run the failed script. So modding the app won't change any of that. Also noticed once I changed all fails to pass my WiFi hangs on turning on like it's waiting to execute a failed script
