[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] asfi99:
I I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket i727 (with stock firmware and ROM), i dont have a SD card and not too many apps installed either, maybe 10-15 apps at most. Today while the phone was in my pocket it just went into this continous reboot cycle, it reboots, gets to the AT&T splash screen and then reboots again and then this goes on forever.

I googled the hell out of this issue but cant seem to find a solid solution and hence hoping u guys can help.

I cannot get into recovery mode cause it never gets past the splash screen

I cannot seems to perform a hard reset (power button + volume key) , it just reboots again.

I tried plugging the phone and connecting via USB but it doesnt help either, it reboots before the computer can detect the phone.

Hope u guys can help ? life without android is no fun...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadproducer:
Has anyone noticed terrible noise when using an S3 docking system or cable to output both Audio and Charging?

- extreme hiss and random noise, machine processor noise, crackle etc. (only if charger is plugged in as well)

- after 2 seconds of no sound, you can hear what resembles to be an AUDIO gate...that kicks in and mutes the noise until you trigger your next button sound.

- Even if you listen to a song, and think it doesn't happen while listening to a song...IT'S still there...fighting the song and causing degradation in Audio quality.

- not too mention, phone calls will NOT route through the USB jack, and music and navigation type stuff.

- if you unplug the charger, the sound cleans right up and sounds fine. It's the combination of having the audio and charging outputs all in one.

- ground loop isolators do not help

I have a background as an audio technician and some electronics skills and I did hours of testing and modding...unfortunately! All failed. I own an Ibolt car cradle (which I did most of my testing with), a KiDiGi desktop docking cradle, and I even hand made a cable that could trigger docking mode. All three of these scenarios FAILED with the NOISE factor.

I have resigned to thinking it is a hardware design bug with the S3. I have modified my Ibolt so that it sends out audio from an extra cable that plugs into the Headphone Jack...which as a bonus, as sends Dialer audio.

(I just realized that this is the i9300 thread, and I have a i747m but maybe this thread could help all the same)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZ Eddie:
I've had three S3's and used USB audio out to my car stereo via 3.5mm. None ever generated any additional noise.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadproducer:
Eddie...can you confirm these points:

1) You have a usb cable or dock that comes out the bottom of your S3, and it splits into USB for charging....and 3.5mm for audio? (NOT THE HEADPHONE OUT)

Is it a cable or dock and would you mind tell me the name of it?

2) What do you plug the audio into?

- stock car audio input

- front aux input on a car deck stereo system (stock/aftermarket)

- rear aux inputs to aftermarket stereo

- other?

3) with the steareo turned up fairly loud, but no music playing, do you hear any noise when you click buttons (assuming you have audio enabled for button clicks in Android settings) When pausing between loud music, do you hear any white noise, machine noise, hiss etc.?

4) What is your S3 model? (i9300?) and what OS version.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZ Eddie:
I've used the Samsung Infuse and also iBolt docks. Both have the split USB cable for charging & 3.mm audio.

I use the front AUX input on my JVC car stereo.

I don't remember any noise when clicking buttons?

But we're talking about AUX input which is analog, so when you turn the volume up with no music playing, you'll always hear some "soft" occasional clicks & hiss. :)

AT&T GS3 with various ICS ROM's. I don't use AUX anymore because my favorite ROM (AOKP) doesn't have audio out capability when docked.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadproducer:
Thanks for replying Eddie. I am so sick of this troubleshooting this crap sometimes. I am very happy with the S3. It is a giant leap forward from my HD2...in most ways...but not all. I am suspecting the USB audio out on my S3 has a defect.

Right now, in the car, I have resigned to using the USB for power and the Headphone jack for audio send to the AUX input of my Sony car stereo on a custom wired Ibolt docking cradle. I still get some PROCESSOR noise when pressing the buttons but it is about 5% of the intensity of using the stock wired Ibolt, or KiDiGi desktop dock...or my hand wired Ycable. Without the USB charging wired up, there is NO NOISE whatsoever with either method.

Digital Output

Reading many threads last night, I discovered that with some roms/kernels, it is also possible to output pure DIGITAL audio from the S3 USB port into a select number of little affordable boutique like amps which decode and amplify the audio and power spkrs and headphones.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZ Eddie:
My first S3 had some weird noise when using bluetooth. So I drove over to my local corporate AT&T store and let them know. They walked out to my car with a demo S3 and we tested it and it didn't have any noise at all. So they swapped out my phone for a new one and I've been happy ever since.

Maybe you could try that?

Regarding boutique amps... this guy in one of my threads was talking about that. I didn't understand half of what he said. :D

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadproducer:
Yup that's it. There are a few examples on youtube. Interesting how it's this TRADE SECRET feature. I mean, I have not seen this advertised anywhere and the places on the net where I found examples....the guys talk about it as if it's this common well known feature. Apparently, next to having one of these setups, the Iphone4 has the the best rating for sound/volume/curve output...almost neck to neck with a dedicated DAC...I think they call it!

I bet if I spent another $100+ bucks for one of these amps, and ran it in my car through a power Inverter (12v to 110v inverter), that I could run the Digital signal out without the interference of my USB analogue out issue. But, I am past that now.

Thanks for your input Eddie!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadproducer:
Arkanius...are you saying...

1) You had the same terrible noise when charging in a car.... with usb audio analogue into aux input of car stereo?

2) and that you hooked up a DAC to resolve the car noise issue? If yes, would you mind sharing the DAC model with us and the cable used?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybhunter:
Although I may be digging up an old thread, it may be worth looking into (Currently majoring in Electrical Engineering and having completed two signal analysis classes).

themadproducer, were you able to get a spectrum output of the noise? If it just a set of static frequencies, a cascading array of notch filters may work out

EDIT: reading your mention of the USB charging, its quite possible that if the voltage converter is of cheap quality, the transistors involved in the voltage conversion from 12.0-14.0 Volts DC down to ~5.0 Volts DC may be giving off Radio Frequency noise, with the noise being picked by the audio cable due to physical proximity, akin to cross-talking in network cables ( a form of mutual inductance)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caaznkid:
So my little sister's tablet the SGT 10.1 just pooped out apparently. About a month ago it stopped responding to USB Mass Storage/MTP when connected to computer and now it just won't charge/turn on. So I tested out the charger/usb on my samsung galaxy note 10.1 and seems that the charger is dead so I was like great, the charger's dead not the tablet. I plug in my galaxy note 10.1's charger and charge the tablet overnight and try to turn it on this morning and it still doesn't turn on (yes I held the power for at least 15,30,60 seconds and also tried to get into recovery or download mode). Is this tablet salvageable or am I going to have to pay a hefty fee to get it repaired? I am out of warranty because this was a refurbished product (never buying refurb again btw). I'm not sure whether the entire MOBO is dead, or the SSD, or the battery. Not sure where to start troubleshooting but am willing to take the time to repair it myself if I have some hopes of preserving her data which has countless pictures and videos. And I'm pretty sure there's no way to take the nand flash chip and transfer the data to the a computer...or is there? Any advice or comments are appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Users

i am from germany (sorry for my english).

i have the same problem, the tab normaly works until 12-10-04 in the evening, later i connect to ac adapter, next morning the screen was black, noting works.

I flashed cm9 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1670964) in last week, all was normal for the last week.

Now the tab ist dead.

OK i tested the following

hold power button for 2 minutes, noting

connect to ac adapter, notoing, no icon for loading the battery

hold power button an vol down key, noting

But the led flash light on the back side makes a short flash every 15-20 sec

Help needed

Thanks for answers
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevormc:
IF you are up to it and you know what you are doing

.. you could find a dis-assembly guide for the tablet..

Take the battery out and get it checked / charged separately from the unit.. Just make sure you're giving it 2 amps at the correct voltage..

Connect a DC supply at the

correct voltage

, and

limited current

, to the unit, and see if it powers on..

That will give you some answers at least as to where the problem lies.

All at your own risk of course..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OTAw:
Try disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it. I know this method sounds too easy but that happened to me. I bought my tab from eBay with a cracked digitizer and LCD, so I didn't know what exactly could be wrong with it. Before I got my replacement parts, it would power up but since it came with no USB/charger, the battery had almost no juice. Before I received the cable, it came to a point where the thing wasn't turning on at all... even with the little juice it supposedly had.. and yes, I was doing all of the button combos. So a few days pass by before I finally disconnect the only component I had yet to disassemble (battery) and I reconnect it and the tab turns on. :what:

I was amazed at why that was even the issue. So that's one thing you could try in your attempt at cornering the problem.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WolffRainer:
exactly what i am doing. I dissambled the cover (youtube video helps fine) disconnect an connetc the battery, Tab starts normally. Next step, other ROM.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] xda-nat:
hi

clearly this wasn't as simple as the unrevoked method for my last phone,

I ran the script 'root many phone' and it cracked on whilst moaning about permissions and by the time it had finished the phone restarted a bit broken.

It had not play store, none of the previous apps on, wasn't actually rooted at all.

I managed to get play back on there but installing via adb.exe from the command line, and its almost like when I install something, that was on there before, it still has all the settings, so not quite sure what has gone on.

can anyone offer some advice, is it simplest to somehow get myself back to stock and start agin.

maybe I didnt run the root script from the right place. - phone was on and plugged in , usb debugging enabled.

any help much appreicated
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
I don't know of starting fresh is the 'best' option, but if you haven't done anything that you can't miss our can't do again it's never a wrong try.

Some people also reported that you need allow test locations on. And allow installation of external apps must also be set.

You can always try re rooting without reinstalling.

If you want to reinstall you're best of using Sony update service. Googling is fastest way to find it (not Sony pc companion)

Good luck,

yes that was what I tried

do I need anything more than that script? (eg those ftf files i keep reading about?)

does the phone need to be on, or in the volume down on boot state

it appears I need 'test locations' and 'external apps' set

anything else I need?

i will try again today at some point

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] yesyesimanoob:
That root script didn't work for me either; it kept asking me to connect my device with USB-debugging enabled even though I had already done that.

I would suggest getting back to stock and trying again, BUT use FlashTool instead. It worked perfectly for me in mere seconds.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] xda-nat:
I downloaded version 0.9.0.0 version, but no XperiaT in the list when I plug it in..

which phone did you pick?

presume the steps are

1. download flashtool

2. Install it on your PC

3. Run the Flashtool and connect your phone (enable USB debugging first)

4. Hit the Root button (second in row)

5. When you see "waiting for restore to finish" open your phone and run Backup&Restore app and restore RootMe.tar file.

6. Wait until Flashtool do the rest of work

If you mean in the adb drivers list, select Xperia TX. That was the only time I had to select a device.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] xda-nat:
OK finally success

although using the initial method.

maybe the problem was created by reading the 'root many phones' thread and where it says there is a special case for Xperia T/S etc I took that to mean when running the tool, to pick option '2) special case Xperia S tablet etc' - which didn't work

ran it again picked option '1) Normal' which did work

thanks for all your help

Not necessarily relevant to the OP's problem but I thought I'd share in case it helps anyone else out...

When I tried rooting using Bin4ry's method I kept getting a adb server out of date error and the root failed.

I eventually traced this to having DROID explorer installed which was forcing an old version of adb to be running and stopped the newer version from starting up.

Once I uninstalled the old version I was able to runMe and root the phone.
