[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSurgery:
Hey guys,

The problem started last night, i had no sound coming from my speaker. After some checking i found that for some reason the phone was thinking that my headphones are always connected, even if they were in the other room. I tried reflashing it, and i couldn't boot up anymore. Tried flashing new kernel, nothing. Tried flashing stock firmware, nothing. The phone won't accept any firmwares. So i tried to REPARTITION with odin. And i think i got the wrong tutorial:(

My phone is a gt-i9100, and i repartition it with omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit

In odin was like this:

pit file selected

auto reboot selected

re-partition selected

f.reset time selected

And start.....all done, green light but the phone won't power on, won't enter recovery/download.

Now what?:(

JTAG won't help you, because it is not bootloader corruption. Motherboard replacement will fix it.

Dude, this thread was last posted in back in October before your post.

That, and it was already established he used a pit file not meant for his device, which is what went wrong.

Hi all,

so is there any progress on this issue?

I did not want to open a new thread because this thread explains exactly my situation and I am posting here because this thread did not help me.

I have since yesterday the same problem. I unfortunately also repartitioned my Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 with "omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit" which actually is the wrong one.

(I know it is "stupid" but please do not explicitly state it in your replies, I am already aware of it.)

Is there a possibility fix this issue by repartitioning with the correct one?

Current Situation:

- My phone is not booting up

- not going into the download mode

- not going into the recovery mode

- if I plug into the PC with a USB cord, PC and Odin is not recognizing it

- if I try to charge it, I see no icon at all

- in short: it is dead

Solution I have found so far:

1- replace the motherboard

2- buy a usb jig

3- throw it away

So my question is about second (possible?) solution: if I buy a usb jib will I be able to use Odin to repartition with the right pit file? Did someone have experience or try this method?

I thank you all in advance for your replies.

Ibo
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
The jig more than likely won't work, but you may as well try one given they cost 1/3rd of sod all.

Option 1 tends to be the only way to fix the phone. And obviously option 3 is always possible (People who use the 'I'm going to smash it/throw it away/etc' line here tend to get ignored for the childish fools they are. We don't care what you do with your phone).

Edit -Yes, using a wrong PIT is the height of stupidity. Despite thousands upon thousands of warnings here/elsewhere not to touch PIT's unless you have a very specific reason for using one (0.000000001% of cases, you were not one of those people), people still do it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hxibrahim:
Thanks for your answer. I thank you just for the part where you have written "Option 1 tends to be the only way to fix the phone.". This was enough for me to hear considering your experience in this forum. For the rest:

1: What would you do if your phone is not booting up and shows the Samsung logo even you wait 1 hour? Assuming that you already used options in recovery mode and also used Odin to update PDA several times?

2: Then you found a tutorial which says this is for Samsung Galaxy S II no further specifics given other than I9100.

3: Different people have different sense of humor so I do not blame them when I see in many forums where they write throw it away. I think it does not make sense to overreact to such suggestions. For example I just laughed when I read something like this.

Best,

Ibo
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
1) If I'd tried everything (and I mean everything, over and over and over), I'd assume the NAND is stuffed, bite the bullet & have the motherboard replaced one way or another. I'd either find a 2nd hand one & have a local mobile repair shop/not an authorised Samsung repairer replace it for me, or if I couldn't find one I'd pay an authorised Samsung repair to put a new one in. Or I'd get a new phone.

2) Before I got my phone I did a lot of research/reading/learning. For over a month. When I got my phone, I did even more research/reading/learning. I didn't jump blindly in messing with my phone without knowing what I was doing. If I saw some dodgy tutorial that told me to use a PIT when everything else I'd read said not to touch except for a very specific situation, I wouldn't touch a PIT unless I was in that very specific situation. Knowledge is power & stops you doing silly/desperate things. It's like putting your hand on the stove when you've already learned you'll get burnt if you do.

3) I'm glad you found what I said amusing. That probably speaks to why you broke your phone in the first place. I was deadly serious. From where I sit, a $700+ piece of electronics is too important to me not to take its continued proper functioning very very seriously. I realise some people get a new phone every 6 mths or whatever or don't care. To me, that's wasteful.

Edit - If you're able to have it assessed cheaply/for free, it might (again, less likely than more) even be JTAG'able, but I wouldn't be spending a lot of money up front having it looked at given it's likely not to be.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hxibrahim:
1. It is nice to hear that in any case the motherboard should have been / be repaired. You are right that was an expensive try but even if didn't I had to let the motherboard repaired. It was written the same thing as you said: the motherboard should be repaired so why not try this option: yes awful but if you have no other option and you tried really everything, you just give it a try.

2. I have been using this Samsung Galaxy SII since a couple months after it is first launched (mid 2011) and did not have any problem so far, so I did not have any interest or reasons to learn about flashing or any advanced methods.

3. Sorry there is a misunderstanding there. I found amusing not you have written but when I saw on an android forum where they written whether let the motherboard repaired or throw away/sell parts and buy a new phone instead. This "piece of electronics" is too expensive not only for you, I think for many people including me. That is why I posted here before giving 125€ to an authorised Samsung repairer.

Best,

Ibo

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] howard bamber:
We all hate them, lets face it. We are not even warned of them.

I have a 'free keyboard ', no mention of ads.

It bombards me but I don't want to wipe it.

What I did was use J rummys pro app which has a handy feature called 'auto start manager' . This showed the app had a radio reciever, for no reason. I switched it off and bingo no more banner ads. Ad away won't stop them. This will. Hope it helps.

P.S I don't mind ads IN apps but hidden in the notification bar?? No thx.

PPS.. just checked data for the week that keyboard was putting ads up. It used 700 Kb in 6 days. That's theft in my book, as it never mentioned it. Thank God I don't pay U. S. rates :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] burtcom:
I hate ads because they suck battery life :)

AdAway works perfectly. I had free keyboard, but with lots of ads. This app removed all those crappy ads.

You need to be rooted though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] little-vince:
Apparently OP already tried AdAway.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] howard bamber:
I have adaway . It blocks all ads, except banner ads. I don't mind ads in apps. Devs. need to be paid. What gets me is when you get "a free" app that spies and puts adds on notification, with no warning. this worked where seaway did not. Oh and I am rooted have ben since it wa possible.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kyrirhcp:
I completely agree with the rejection of ads. Alot of the time we are spied on to produce marketing results and targeted ads. As for developers getting paid and the ads being no harm to the user, I pay for my internet subscription, I do not give the authority to any app or ad or developer to waste my money downloading this ****.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] geo.samuel:
I read customer review at least 10-15 of them on play store(if it has issues with adds/anything somebody will definitely post it there), before installing an application.

Next I check for the permissions required by the app...If it looks unnecessary then I refrain to install that application (I mean since when a simple live wallpaper required data access??)

For most of the Add supported applications you have an add free version available on market, either pay it once and buy the adfree/pro version of the app or keep paying in small installments as ur data charges to fetch that ad and get annoyed as well with those ads(I wonder how much data it takes to fetch one add, not more that 10-15Kb???:confused:)

Well which one is a wise choice you do the math!!

Android is a smart OS made for smart people......:p

My 2 cents...

adaway is awesome app for removing adds

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] geo.samuel:
You Sir just summed it up very well!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] howard bamber:
Niggadawg, I said don't mind devs using ads which is why I don't like blanket ad ban apps like adaway but banner ads are a differant story. This one had no permission I could see & used @600kb per week with different ads,some I do not want people seeing on the front of my phone. I pay for apps. This did not say it was add supported. Not all devs are upfront. They want this crap in to spy so they can sell lists to others of what they gather. People are right to be posses when they step over the line.

I don't have much experience with Bada 1.2, but check the RSRC1 file (and the language setting file in CSC, of course). You'll find everything you need in there. For RTL languages though, I don't know.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] shaiws:
Thank you...
[Bada Software and Hacking General] k8500:
Wave Remaker opens and writes those (Bada 1.2 RC1 and CSC), too, but I'm not sure wether these (edited RC1 and CSC) are ok to flash. I have never tried (flashing) myself, and I suggest you ask forum member xsycox for more info on that. He's the one with the most experience in doing Bada 1.2 CFWs. I also had a look over his CFW files in the past, and it doesn't look like his RC1 is edited, but the CSC seems to be.

EDIT:

If you want a starting point, here it is:

I have done some Bada 1.2 modifications myself in the past, but never tested it due to an unfortunate experiment (that shouldn't have gone wrong at all) in the recent past and most probably never will. I'm scared of Bada 1.2 now. See here, read and understand the whole post. DON'T JUST FLASH THIS HOPING IT WILL BE OK. Download link is here. There are some modifications for more input languages in the CSC files in there and the RC1 contains tons of files for tons of languages (also in the standard RC1, btw). This is how I think (=not know) how it is done. I have no experience in editing Bada 1.2, of course.

Compare using WinMerge with xsycox' Bada 1.2 based CFW and you'll get an idea.

In any case let us know what you found out!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wazza26:
Hi,

I'm trying to create a desktop (java based) application that extracts SMS from an android device and prints the SMS onto a relational database. I just have a few questions......

/*Answer Found*/

After research I found out that the SMS are stored in a database. I've been pointed in various directions, but the most common is directory is com.android.provider.telephony.SMS although I can't actually find it on my phone. My phone is rooted and I'm looking for the file using a "File manager" app from the Play store.

So my first question would be "Where is the SMS database stored"? I'm assuming it's the same place for all phones as long as it's android based. Please correct me if I'm wrong......

I'm aware the database will be encrypted. Does anyone know what type of encryption is on the database, and if so - is it easy to crack?

Thanks in advance,

Wazza

Update: OK - So it turns out the file explorer I was using was a bit......naff. I've downloaded another and am now able to see the relevant DB.

My idea was to run the developers USB debugging mode onto the computer and extract the DB like that - However, the folders / files being shown when it's plugged into the PC are those on the SDCARD. (I believe this is the level above root?).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wazza26:
Update 2: Seems as if I jumped the gun posting this topic. A few more hours research and I've got to where I need to be.

For those who don't know - this is how I did it.

Plugging your phone into the PC and selecting USB Debugging mode temporarily disables the "SDCARD" on your phone so you can't tamper with it whilst uploading files via the PC.

I downloaded a file manager that allows the user to view root access files / folders. I then found the mmssms.db, copied it and pasted it into a folder on the "SDCARD". I was then able to plug the phone into USB Debugging mode and transfer the database file from the phone onto my desktop.

My next challenge is viewing the database. As started in the OP, I'm aware the database is most likely encrypted. How would I go about breaking this encryption and viewing it on a database.

:good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
If you want to make backup of SMS, just use SMS Backup & Restore. It will export your database to xml file.
