[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] critdmg:
Hi there!

Actually, I've stopped trying to ressurect my phone about a month ago, but... maybe someone can help :)

Ok, what happened:

I was at exam and must shut my phone off. I did it. Some seconds later it booted again. So, I had to turn it off by holding the power button. After that it doesn't boot anymore.

Now the "facts":

- It was the Lite'ning Rom (I think 2.6) with the Kernel incl. as it bricked.

- It boots up to the yellow triangle and stops there.

- If I want to charge it - I see just a waiting-circle (like in windows), but it doesn't move at all.

- I can enter the Download mode, but only if I hold Volume Down + Power Button. If I hold the VolumeDown+Home+Power Button - it's just starting without entering the download mode.

- I can't enter the recovery mode. It's just gone...

- Kies doesn't see the phone at all.

- Odin see it and I can flash it. I can flash all the things I want: bootloader, kernel, pda. I can re-partition it, BUT:

- Now the interresting thing: Odin flash it and says, that all was fine. But nothing happens... Actually, I've already tried to "kill" it with the 3-part ROM for 9100G, but Odin says, that all was ok and nothing happens with the phone at all. It just ignoring all the flashs I tried.

- I have the USB-Jig, but it start the "Factory mode", and... see the point above.

- Already tried about 10-15 Rom (1-parted and 3-parted), with bootloaders and pits etc. Nothing happens.

I had the phone just for 3 months, and... yeah, 500€ are gone. I can't send it to Samsung service, because of triangle and counter > 0. And I can't remove this triangle and set the counter back.

Anyone have any ideas I can try? Maybe someone already heard about issue like that? Is it the famous "eMMC brick"?

Thx in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cenobite_:
I don't know if this is due to the EMMC bug. But it sure does sound like a hardware issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A331709:
Have you tried flashing Factory / Stock firmware via Odin? I had a similar issue some time back with my Galaxy Tab but flashing stock firmware, rebooting to recovery and clearing cache etc then fixed the issue.

Good luck man!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Maybe send it in for warranty service/replacement & play dumb in the first instance. Always a chance they won't care/notice you trashed it. If they do & decide to charge you, ask for a quote & for the phone back. Then take the phone to local mobile repair shops & see how much they want for repairing the phone. You can also then compare the costs of having Samsung/authorised repairer or local mobile repair shops with the costs of having the phone JTAG'd (assuming it can be JTAG'd). Lots of JTAG repairers can be found with a Google search, not necessarily in your country, but will still likely be cheaper than having Samsung/authorised repairer fix it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilgrim011:
Try to flash a bootloader for a different device (Note for example), and after that to repartion the device also with pit for Note or something similar. I think that there is a good chance that you succeed in killing the phone completely, and then you can send it to service and play dumb.;)

Find someone with a riff box and get it j-taged
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] critdmg:
Yes, already tried some different stock firmwares, always the same thing - just nothing happens and Odin is lucky and saying "all was fine".

Already tried with G-Version of SGS2, but that didn't work. But I will try it with Note's bootloader and pit. Thx!

I've already called JTAG-Service I found in my country, but the guy on the phone said "you can send it to us, we will try to fix the issue, but you will see - you will get your device back without any changes." In addition, he said, that my phone has some bad sectors in header of internal memory and it's nothing to do with it. The only option is to change the mainboard.

I'll try to kill it with Note's firmware, if it's not going to work - will try to send it for repair. But the chance, that guys from samsung will ignore the triangle and counter ist actually... yeah, it low ^^

Thx again for the advices!

//edit:

tried the Note's bootloaders - the phone accept it, I see the progress-bar on phone's screen, but after reboot it stucks again on triangle.

tried this guide again - doesn' help at all.

looks like the advice from MistahBungle is the last hope :)
[Acer Iconia A500] thafrogggg:
When I plug my tablet into my PC to copy files over, I see two of every folder. One will show files in it when I click on it, but I can not copy a file over to it. The progress bar never advances and I eventually cancel the operation. Windows scans the other folder when I open it, but the scan never completes (it gets to like 98% and stops) and I have to actually unplug the tablet from the PC to get out of the screen.

I can copy from the internal memory to the SD card and the other way just fine using my tablet file manager.

This started a couple of weeks ago, up until then everything was fine and I had no problems. Anyone else ever have this kind of thing?
[Acer Iconia A500] thafrogggg:
Wow, I guess I have a unique situation here. No one else has never had this happen?
[Acer Iconia A500] dudeuh:
I have the same problem. I can copy to one. the other errors out. I am not sure what causes it, but it doesnt matter unless I copy to the wrong one.
[Acer Iconia A500] thafrogggg:
Which folder are you to copy to the 1st or 2nd?
[Acer Iconia A500] dudeuh:
The one that works

I could only copy to one of them. I think it was the first one.
[Acer Iconia A500] ktmdave7:
When I use "MX_Player_Pro_1.7.8.apk" App on Acer A500 Tablet (Music Player App), It doubles, and later tripples, and so on my Playlist files, same problem. It's annoying... I've also had Double folders problem before.

My way of fixing was...

Going into TWRP Recovery 2.3.1 and Wiping All Internal SDCard files. then Reflashing any ROM

I also Partitioned Ext SDCARD with CWM recovery:

-Swap-size = 0 MB

-Ext2-size = 1024 MB

-Fat32-size = Remainder (the rest will be formatted in Fat32)

-then Changed Ext2 to Ext3, then Ext3 to Ext4

*** (haven't seen Double+ files in 2 months now, with heavy "MX Player Pro" app usage + hooking up to PC many times

*** I'm on "ICS Unlocked Bootloader 0.03.14-MUL" + "TWRP 2.3.1 Recovery"

I'm have a heck of a problem here trying to s-off this phone and downgrade the hboot

I am able to root the phone and what not no problem but when I try to follow this tutorial here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1471246%EF%BB%BF I get stuck and get this error

Then if I shell access and super user I can run the command in step 4. of the tutorial and can get the mcblk0p31.img file which appears to have data but when opened it's completely blank.

What am I doing wrong????

I just want to be able to s-off and downgrade my hboot cause I'm having problems with some roms like viper 3d which seem to just hang on boot not boot loop but just hang.

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

I have search xda and the net but I have not seen a solution or maybe just did not search well, but I'm trying to stream a full HD file (.m2ts) from my nas, When it starts, the video starts stuttering, I have try different plays that were mention here but nothing. I also have read that it is not possible to play it on the gs2. I just bought my young son a no name brand, cheep ass 7" tablet from china for 60 euros, this thing has a 1.2 arm7 processor, 512mb ram, and this thing can stream HD file (.m2ts) no problems. My gs2 has much better hardware then this cheep ass tablet!

Is there a solution that I mist? :confused:

thx for the help all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UrbanDroid:
It seems we are at that stage of the game where a lot of prime owners are in either one of three categories.

1) Standard user that has a stock tablet and is happy with it that way.

2) Power user that has some flashing experience and has installed a custom rom or two since purchasing the TF201

3) Developer that has extensively modified their prime

Now 2 & 3 are the two that make up the vast majority of users i suppose... At least on this site. With this said i assume some of those have bricked their prime a time or two and have recovered. While others are completely left out in the cold with a genuine hard brick.

I myself fall into this second category and have managed to hard brick my prime. After reading through the forum and seeing all the returns i contacted amazon to try and return mine. So they said its a no go because i bought from an amazon marketplace vendor... :(

What to do? Well i can only hope that some day some dev can come up with a method of flashing a recovery image on my prime, and i know im not the only one here.

My question is this. Can we make / buy a factory charge cable that is not unlike the one that Motorola has / uses to flash and charge any Motorola device that may be stuck in bootloops or fastboot / bootloader mode? It seems to be the same kind of problem for the Prime?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
If this phone is rooted why did you do an OTA? Turn the phone off and hold the power buton and power and volume down and see if you cant get in to recovery from the boot section. Most likely you might need to flash an RUU
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macher50267:
I didn't know it was rooted or was attempted to be rooted. The OTA didn't go through I think because I was getting an error message saying I needed more battery.

I'll try that out.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macher50267:
I didn't know the phone had this but anyway I held power and volume down and now I have a white screen that has Revolutionary highlighted in pink.

Ok I chose Recovery and now I'm at a screen with Revolutionary CWM on the top.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
In recovery can you select different things like install rom? Wipe? So on?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macher50267:
The only options I'm given when I scroll is under Fastboot is...

Recovery

Factory Reset

Simlock

Hboot USB

Image CRC
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
Then select recovery and let me know what all options you have. If you can load roms. I would do a wipe and then install a new rom and see if that fixes your issue.

While in fastboot does it say s-off or s-on. If it says s-off you are rooted.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macher50267:
It says Mecha XD Ship S-OFF

When I select Recovery it brings me to a screen that has Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obaterista93:
What he's asking is that once you're in CWM do you have the options of like... wipe data, install zip from SD etc?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macher50267:
Does the TB have to be plugged in or can I do this without it being plugged.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
You can do that with out plugging it in.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macher50267:
Yes I have those options.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santod040:
Then do as suggested.

Download a rom .zip file and place it on your sd card.

Boot to Recovery and wipe everything using the wipe options.

Then choose to flash a .zip and select the rom .zip you downloaded and put on the sd card.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macher50267:
Where do I download a rom .zip file?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santod040:
You can find roms in the Development section here at XDA, also at Rootzwiki, and my Rom is linked to my banner in my signature in every post.

There are quite a few options to choose from.

I suggest reading up on some of them and decide what may suit you best.

Assuming this is all very new to you, you may just want a rooted stock rom.

HERE is the XDA dev section.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macher50267:
I want a rom that I could use FoxFi with my TB?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Any rom you download will be able to wireless tether. Just download wireless tether from the market. Its better than foxfi IMO.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macher50267:
Just to note I'm on Recovery screen and it has an exclamation point symbol in a triangle and android symbol in the background.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
If you like sense rom sky raider is a great stable rom. It sounds like you are new to all this. Santod sense ICS is a good one to. Like said read up on the many different ROMs out there. Many are good ROMs.

Yeah WiFi tether is way better. Just ask how to set it up after you choose your rom. As the settings in that depends on you're rom. Main thing is your phone is fixable and not broken. Just don't do ota any more as its for stock unrooted phones.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macher50267:
Wireless tethers I'm told don't work with HTC.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quickdraw86:
Completely false. Wifi tether works great on the bolt.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macher50267:
You don't have to root?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quickdraw86:
Well, if you are unrooted, the only tether that will work is the paid service from VZW. The various applications for wifi tether are for rooted devices.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macher50267:
That's why I want to stay rooted but didn't know I was almost rooted :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
You are not almost rooted. You are rooted.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
They work fine on my phone. You have to set it up properly
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macher50267:
Can you direct me to a rom that I can use so that I can wifi tether.

And how to I get the rom on my TB.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heath2805:
Most have wifi tether baked in the Rom. Which type of Rom are you looking for, Sense or AOSP?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macher50267:
Don't know what I'm looking for as I'm new at this. Probably a basic rom for now that would have wifi tether.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heath2805:
Try Skyraider 1.3 it has a great wifi teather, I use it all the time and its still considered the best Sense Rom ever built for the Bolt.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macher50267:
Thank you!

I've read that the TB wifi tether isn't good meaning it cuts off a lot. Will this rom help me with that? Currently I'm using VZW paid $30 unlimited hot spot.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nomad1600:
Yes, if you correctly set up the custom ROM's wifi tether it will work as well as the Verizon service you are paying for. As some have said, many of custom ROM's already have tethering baked in (eg. Thundershed does) while others simply require you to download a tethering app downloaded from the Play Store (examples: Wifi Tether, Open Garden, Barnacle, all of which I have used in the past, but there are many others).

Just make sure to follow the set-up instructions usually provided in the OP of the development thread of the ROM you are interested in and you will be successful.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heath2805:
It has a rock solid connection and with it, you can drop that 30 dollar hotspot bill and do it for free. They'll never know.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
Got that right. Bern tethering for over a year now and not one phone call or letter as of yet. Don't believe in paying for something twice. That's double dipping.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] sent17inel:
I accepted the latest over the air update and I need to know if that messed up my chances of obtaining root. I tried photon torpedo and could not get it to work. My device says it is unlocked but I can not boot into recovery. I have flashed several recoveries using sdk-tools but I cannot erase any recoveries. I receive an error. I have tried several things and am at a loss to as what is the most recent way if there is one. Looking for someone with more experience then I to guide me. I previously rooted my EVO 4g and EVO 3d and was away from internet for about 9 months so I mistook the old Motorola Photon for the Photon Q. Didn't realize till way later that I was trying some rooting techniques intended for the old photon on my photon q. Anyways I feel a bit lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can provide any information requested. Will be monitoring this thread all day today and will provide quick responses. Cheers!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Uhm... You tried the rooting steps for the Photon?

I really hope you didn't brick your device - that is a SURE fire way to do it tho.

Anyhoo, why haven't you just tried the official unlock from Moto?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] sent17inel:
I did try that first. And successfully as far as I know because my bootloader says unlocked. I then went to install supersu and It won't install su binary. Tried to force install su binary and that did not work either. Any ideas? I joined the military so I was busy for 9 months straight. Honestly I'm usually more up to date than that. I think it's an understandable mistake and I understand the risks behind rooting. I bricked my first phone 7 years ago and brought it back using putty.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
You didn't truly brick the device if you were able to bring it back using putty...

Regardless, you should always be careful with anything you do. Why are you trying to install the SuperSU binary right after unlocking? You need to flash a custom recovery first.

Or do you already have a custom recovery? I'm kinda lost here, you seemed to indicate you were unable to get a custom recovery flashed, but you're trying to force SuperSU without a custom recovery...?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] sent17inel:
Soft bricked . . . I tried to flash a custom recovery. I Tried 2. CW and another one that I can't remember at the moment. They both said they flashed successfully but I was unable to boot into any of them. I got the android with an exclamation mark. I tried to erase them and it gave me an error. Some kind of permission error. I did this all a few days ago. Decided to take a break. Honestly "you should always be careful with anything you do" . . did that really need to be said?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Hey, I'm not trying to force SuperSU to apply without a custom recovery here... one step at a time is all I'm trying to say.

Let's get on with it...

So you haven't been able to flash a custom recovery. When you flash, it says successful? Perhaps try again. Follow the directions carefully.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] sent17inel:
I did try again about 5 minutes ago. It says that it won't unlock because it's already unlocked.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] sent17inel:
I got into the stock recovery. adb reboot recovery and then it will display a green android laying down with a red exclamation point. From there I hit both volume keys and it brings up the stock recovery menu. I should be able to go from here. I think the Update I did changed some things that caused the CW recovery to not flash right or to be rewritten before I can boot into it. I should be good now. Thank you for your help.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
So you managed to flash custom recovery? I didn't mean to say you should try to unlock again - I meant you should try flashing recovery again (CWM, TWRP).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] sent17inel:
With the over the air update it installs a shell script that forces the install of the stock recovery. When you reboot into the stock recovery you are presented with an image that looks like it has failed (android laying down with stomach open and a red exclamation point over it.) it will not do anything from here and eventually time out and reboot itself. If when it is at this image you press both volume keys you will be presented with a Recovery menu. I can take it from here. Thank you.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Ok... Good luck.

unlocking nd rooting visuals

can someone who owns Photon Q 4G LTE do a visual on rooting nd unlocking the bootloader cause was thinking bout getting this phone & dont wanna brick the phone i have read the guide's nd done tons of reseaching but found no visual's on how to do it can someone help pls?

thanks in advance
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Well, I was going to ask you where you are stuck in the process, but it sounds like you haven't even purchased the device yet...

I wouldn't worry about unlocking and rooting until the device is in your hands. We can help out a lot easier when you actually have the thing, hahaha.

To answer your question, I don't think there's any visuals because it's not a very visual thing. fastboot is anything but visually-appealing, and the process is rather dry. Just follow the steps carefully and you'll be fine. It's very straightforward.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] drakeheart77:
Plus you must decide if you prefer to keep the bootloader LOCKED or UNLOCKED and still have root access. Research the differences in the two.

The only thing simple is the belief in simplicity.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] D.Eternity:
Similar problem

Hey, I have similar problem here

I tried to root my phone using howtos on internet, but when I flash cwm img (first try from howtos, second try from CWM page), it take only a second (in every howto is it should take few minutes). But it returns that cwm was flashed sucessfully. Still.... its weird.

Then - when I want to reboot to CWM, I can see only that dead poor green thing. I tried to upload the superuser zip from here, but it returns "signature verification failed".

I still belive, there IS CWM recovery, because img was flashed sucessfully (or am I wrong?) so i tried to reboot to CWM via adb.

And another problem has appeared. ADB doesn`t recognise my phone. I installed the newest drivers from moto pages (USB drivers bit 4.7.1 and DeviceManager 2.3.4) have USB debugging mod ON, restarted my computer (win7 64bit), tried stand on my head, kill black ****.... it still returns "device not found".

Any ideas how to get to the next step? Functional adb would be great...

How long took you to flash cwm image?

Thx
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Let's take a step back here.

If you DON'T have ADB, you're NOT going to be able to flash CWM.

Make sure you establish an ADB connection BEFORE trying to flash again.

Good luck.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] D.Eternity:
Ok, but when I ask for fastboot devices, it returns my device (and I can work with fastboot commands). When I type adb device, it returns empty list. How is it possible?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
fastboot and adb are kind of separate things...

You can't access adb when the phone is in fastboot mode, and you can't access fastboot when the phone is in recovery or booted into a ROM. However, in recovery or when booted adb should work. If it's still failing make sure you're using the factory USB cable. Also, try a different port or computer.

Good luck.
