I tried it and went to custom. However many were prechecked. For a custom I expect it to not be prechecked. Also, how do I exit? I had to uncheck everything and pray nothing happened when I continued.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flexnix:
This screen shows up if I have the phone completely off and I just plug in the micro USB cable (even if the other end isnt connected to the wall outlet adapter) or even if the phone is off and I plug it in to charge it. So I reverted back to stock 4.0.3 using ODIN to see if it solved it. Nothing. I've searched and searched. I can't find the issue with other users.

If I power the phone without it plugged it yes it'll boot into 4.0.3.

Its been like this for a year or so, but now I'm trying to sell the phone on Ebay and I would like to get rid of this little inconvenience. Also, if I press and hold the power button for 5-6 seconds it'll reboot and go back into it if I have the usb cable plugged in...if not it'll just boot into 4.0.3

Any help would be highly appreciated.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
Bought the N7100 from Newegg 28 days ago. I'm trying to decide if I should get the servicenet warranty for 2 years ($159). It covers accidental damage with no deductible. Seems too good to be true. I know there are other warranty options but I need to add it within 30 days so I'm in a hurry to decide. The thought of something breaking with no international warranty worries me.

Thoughts? It's transferable and will at least increase resale value.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gandalf21502:
I ended up purchasing the extended warranty myself, via Newegg...I did the 1 year though figuring I would want the note 3 when it comes next year. I paid $46 for it, on sale, figured why not. Hopefully, if it need be, the plan is as good as they claim to be!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tone_la:
I've just spent many hours trying to revive my AT&T I777 phone that was running CM9 until I tried to flash it back to bone stock GB, then ICS.

First, I used ODIN to flash the standard default UCKH7 Gingerbread ROM from Sammy via One-Click "I777_UCKH7_OCD_No_BL.7z". After performing the ODIN, the phone flashed successfully and rebooted into a boot loop "Rethink Possible".

I searched for hours to find a solution, but one solution lead to another problem, and so on...

Currently:

- I cannot get into recovery mode, but it boots reliably into download mode. Tried the 3 button tango in EVERY way, but it will only go into DL mode.

- I've tried many different ODIN flashable images per recommendation in this forum, even the one that contains all of the extra files (recommended by creepyncrawly). All flashed fine, but none fixed the boot loop issue.

- Most recommendations say to "wipe/factory reset" to fix the bootloop issue, but I can't do that since I can't get into recovery.

- Tried to do ADB REBOOT RECOVERY, but can't get the driver to connect and list the device. The install guide says to enter "debug mode", but I can't even boot the phone.

- Tried Kies and the phone was not recognized in either DL mode or boot loop. Was hopeful Kies could reinstate the firmware.

I have a physically PERFECT SGS2 I want to sell, and unless I can fix this boot issue, it's nothing but a brick now. Any advice is much appreciated! Pulling my hair out so far...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
From powered off, how long are you holding power and vol+ and vol- to get into recovery? On both mine and my wife's phones, I have to hold all three down until the second time the Sammy logo flashes up on the screen. Most people seem to get it after the first time, but I've heard of a few others like mine...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tone_la:
When I hold down the 3 buttons, it never actually shows the Sammy logo. It takes about 8-12 seconds and shows the Download prompt that says "press volume up" to continue to enter DL mode; "press volume down" to cancel/restart. Both of these work fine. If I ignore the prompt and continue holding the 3 buttons, it never does anything else. Thanks for your post.

It does the same thing whether the USB cable is plugged in or not. However, you gave me an idea...

This phone has been sitting in the drawer for a few months since I got my GNex. When I charged it up, after unplugging the charger the icon stayed with a "plug" symbol on the notify bar as if it was still connected to the charger.

Is it possible the phone is stuck thinking there's a cable plugged in and that's why I can't 3-button boot to recovery? Seems like I've read about other people having connector issues. Does this sound plausible? And if so, what's the best remedy?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Could be...Sounds like a symptom of bad or dirty usb port. Try cleaning gently with tooth brush and rubbing alcohol. Dry with canned air if you have some.

And to the guy who says, "don't use the term brick". Sorry I said "Apparent brick"; just looking for some neighborly help to get my phone working again. At any rate, I very much appreciate any advice to help me get this fixed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
I should elaborate a little for safety's sake - probably a no brainer, but in case - TAKE YOUR BATTERY OUT BEFORE CLEANING THE PORT. Don't know if it matters or not, but I wouldn't want you to short stuff during cleaning - rubbing alcohol IS part water.

Adb wait-for-device reboot recovery

Plug in your phone and let it attempt to boot. If you need adb, use the link in my signature for adb portable. It includes batch files to reboot to download or recovery modes.

This issues the reboot command if at any point in the boot process your phone is detected.

You might want to install the android sdk and ensure you have the nexus drivers installed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tone_la:
Well, I cleaned the heck out of the USB port with rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush, followed by a thorough drying with compressed air. Yes, battery removed during the process; thanks for that! Unfortunately, same exact symptom. Only goes into DL mode and boot loop.

I'll now try your portable adb suggestion and see if I can get a connection.

Does anyone else have any thoughts on what may have gone wrong and/or anything I can flash via ODIN to fix the issue? Many thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tone_la:
Installed your portable adb and followed your instructions. Ran the recovery_mode batch file and adb initialized (daemon not running, starting daemon...) followed by red text "Waiting for your device to be detected". I already installed the Android SDK yesterday and the following modules are installed: Android SDK Tools, Android SDK Platform-tools, and Google USB Driver

Powered on the phone and after a few seconds the "Rethink Possible" logo showed up and shortly thereafter, I heard the computer beep indicating it connected with the phone. Win7 device manager shows "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem" under the Modems category.

However, the portable ADB continues to show "Waiting for your device to be detected" and the boot loop continues. Did the same thing in DL mode, same result.

I reinstalled the Samsung I777 driver from Samsung's site. Going to reboot my PC now to see if that makes a difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tone_la:
Reboot did not help. Seems like the phone is not being identified as "Android Composite ADB Interface", and therefore ADB cannot see the phone. I've looked for other drivers, but no matter what I've tried, the SGS2 I777 shows as "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem" under the Modems category in Win7 Device Manger.

Any advice on ADB here? Doing the best I can, but keep running into stops. Thank you

After many many hours of frustration and dead ends, I've finally recovered my phone! YAYYYYY!!!!!

Here's how I got it done...

- No matter what I flashed, I kept getting the boot loop. This was really throwing me for a "loop" when I thought I was flashing standard original Sammy full ROM with ODIN; yet that wasn't enough to recover the phone.

- Something was missing with the boot process, so I started looking for CWM that I could flash via ODIN. Most sites had the zip CWM file, but only a few had the TAR file. Finding a valid file proved more difficult than I thought with all the download sites that went offline for legal reasons. But I did find one!

http://www.mediafire.com/?bjhx33o4viz8tza

The above link is for file name: SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar

- Once I installed the above via ODIN, all of a sudden ADB recognized the phone and I was able to run: ADB REBOOT RECOVERY

It's very possible that the 3-button recovery may have worked too, but when I saw the device show up on ADB, I didn't want to take the chance.

- The device then rebooted and entered RECOVERY mode! FINALLY!!!!

- I then did a factory reset / wipe and rebooted the phone. It came up just fine, NO MORE BOOT LOOP!

Thanks to those who replied to this thread. The responses helped me think hard about what was going wrong and ultimately I dug up a solution.
[LG Thrill 4G] Elektrisk:
I am having such terrible luck with my LG Thrill. I have had it for 1.5 years now and it has been a headache. First off, it is rooted. Now, I was using Thriller (I don't know what version) but I wanted a chance so I switched to a CyanogenMOD version, whichever is posted in the developer's section. The battery life was terrible so I switched back to Thriller. I started getting boot loops which were only fixable by factory resetting in CWM. I switched back to an "almost stock" ROM, but randomly got boot loops then as well. I switched to another ROM and then another, and kept getting boot loops eventually. Keep in mind, I did wipe cache, dalvik cache, and factory reset in between every ROM.

This happened when I had my old SD card and my recently bought SD card. I don't think it's a partitioning issue. What could be the problem? I really don't care what I have to do. I am just tired of having to wipe my phone all the time. It is making it basically unusable. Any advice?

Hey there. I actually followed that link last night and did all the steps, even flashing a .kdz.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FlashingFool1111:
I have a Galaxy SII on Sprint, and I'm happy enough. I feel like I missed the boat on the GS3.

Well, a buddy of mine had a white GS3 that I have been eyeballin', and told me if I chipped in on a blue one, he'd give me his white.

Now I have a white GS3 that I want to activate - but when I called Sprint they said that the phone doesn't have a valid ESN.

Talking with the buddy of mine said "Just flash it onto your GS2. You're staying with Sprint and the phone is released from Boost from me - so it's legal. Go nuts. It's your new toy"

That's great and all, but for the life of me - I can't get it quite figured out. I've done a few days worth of homework, and while I've learned so much, I stumble when things start getting hard.

I've been using CDMA Workshop v3.8.7 and followed the guides here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1895548&highlight=flash

While this has got me pretty far - I realized about most of the way through this video it's to flash FROM Sprint.

I've managed to get the phone connected (COM 11 if that matters?) and readable (Thanks to the Samsung password)

I haven't found the part to where I can edit anything outside my phone number.

The phone says it's my number, but the registration isn't taking because it's still the old ESN.

Here's what I've done so far.

1 - Open CDMA Workshop

2 - Connect to my phone

3 - Read my phone's info

4 - Unlock my phone in the Security tab

5 - Get lost and confused

So for those of you who are more experienced with Flashing / CDMA workshop (And I know that's pretty much everyone here!)

you'll get a grand thanks from me, and a warm fuzzy feeling if you could hold the hand of a poor fellow who's lost among the bits and bytes.

Thanks in advance. -FF
