[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capgeti:
Hi at all.

my sgs i9000 don't start anymore. After pressing the power button, the SamsungLogo appears and disappears after few seconds.

then again, and again. No bootanimation appears!

if i boot into recovery mode, this errormessage was printed:

if i try to format internal sd card or wipe data/factory reset, the same message appears.

Downloadmodus can be started!

The phone was not rooted before. the firmware was the last published by samsung for sgs i9000.

If i connect via usb to the computer, my computer can detect the usb device. just "Unknown Device".

I tryed many usb driver. but there is no problem with the drivers, because other sgs i9000 phones were recognized successfully.

I plugged in another sgs i9000 and the driver starts installation itself. On the defect phone, nothing happens except as Unknown device recognized.

I also try different usb cables and other Pc's.

On mac and linux, dmesg says: "unable to enumerate usb device".

Has anyone a solution for my problem?

best regards, michael

if it was not rooted then how did you got the recovery mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markey97:
Every Android phone has the recovery mode, its the stock recovery then,and its not neccessary to root the phone to get recovery mode.

E.g. I've rooted my phone through recovery mode

this is the only solution you will need:

card sd 2-4gb

doawload rom

root the rom

instal ICS 4.0.4 like that in video

AND THE PHONE WILL WORK PERFECTLY

ypu will not be able to use no more the internal memory :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capgeti:
But it doesn't work for me, because i cant connect the phone to my computer, i wroted in first post.

I've created a 2 parted sdcard like in the video, but the phone does nothing with it.

are there any solutions how to root the phone without computer that includes odin/heimdall? eg in use of an update.zip in recovery mode?

Dear Friends

I HAVE MESS-UP WITH MY i9300!!!!

The incident is I was using custom rom, and installed some stupid app called "Adblock" or something,

and then, my phone just keep went-off for about 8-10 times a day. So then, I decided to reflash

custom rom by CWM, and after I pressed install in Aroma Installer, it just kick me out all of sudden, and

then, I couldn't get back to CWM anymore, so I decided to flash some stock rom by odin, but what

had happen was it starts until "Nand write start" and stacked for a while, and then just FAIL me.

On the net, I found that Checkrom Resurrection V4 could rescue softbrick i9300, I tried, but

no luck either. Finally, just now, I tried a 3 files stock rom with pit, and it came out as:

6. changed usb port

7. changed PC

8. uninstall all applications relative to Kies

have you guys got any idea what can I do? I am thinking to mess-up the phone even badly (till it couldn't switch on), so that I can take it to Samsung Service Center for warranty replacement, but have you got ANY method I can do that to mess it up? Or anything I can over-come from the soft (or hard) brick. PLEASE Give me some help guys. I am very struggle.

I did the same, and tried to fix in the same way ~4 weeks ago. Its back in the post from samsung and should arrive today having been repaired.... Sorry!

They have had to replace parts (took them two attempts with different bits apparently), but dont give any more details than that.

The custom binary download counter from 「2x」to (No), is that mean it back to zero? Do you guys think I can give it a go to samsung warranty center?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evantkh:
Flash via "Firmware Upgrade And Initialization" in the "Tools" of Samsung KIES 2.5 instead of ODIN. The firmware must fit your phone because it get firmwares according to your serial number. However, if you find firmwares outside, there may be a little difference due to different batches.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kk12175:
But my phone just couldn't boot up, it held on the screen of "samsung" logo, so I couldn't connect to kies at all
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evantkh:
You don't have to boot up your phone in order to use the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" in the Samsung KIES.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kk12175:
Thanks for your advice mate, I tried, but still no luck, what happen was my PC can pickup the connection of my phone, but once Kies sending data into the phone, it just became fails and has to be disconnect. I tried to reconnect and ran through it again.. no good. Now, I am planning to give a soft electric shocks, and make it go into dead sleep, so that I can take it to service center. Before that, any other think I can try?

Thanks mate.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evantkh:
That means you failed to use the download mode which supports the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" right?

But electric shocks is not a good way as they may discover you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kk12175:
Yes, I think so, I can connect the phone to Kies, after Lies finished download firmware and ready to flash, it kicked me out and asked me to disconnect the phone.

Except using electric shocks, I can't think of any other ways as I think I have tried everything. Any other method I can try?

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krighton:
Every now and then it will just start opening files by itself, you can't get it to stop. Wondering if the nook screen protector i'm using could be causing it...it seems to start when i'm in the stock browser. Not rooted but am using a sideloaded launcher.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone0:
Yes screen protector can.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krighton:

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
I find with my screen protector that I have to wipe the oily prints off. They don't show but they make the device go wonky after a while.

Sent from my Nook HD+ Running CM10
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone0:
Aside from the screen protector, I also notice that the touchscreen itself is very finicky. I means say if something that need to hit and hold like an icon to get menu popup. It's extremely hard to get the popup, even if you hold it pretty steady. I have nova launcher on both my Nook HD+ and Galaxy Note II, of course we can't compare build material here. Note II is just on another level in term of hardware wise. But the touch is just way more solid on the Note II.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
I noticed it too. I think it is something in stock. My CM10 is much better.

Sent from my Nook HD+ Running CM10
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone0:
If you decide to remove the screen protector, and it no longer behave like it was processed. Would you go into the Accessories forum and post there, please tell us the brand/where you brought also. So other people don't make that $20 mistake.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenG:
Indeed, yes, I noticed it too. I figured it was just the way I was holding/clicking it, but I suppose not. It must be either a problem with the hardware, or as leapinlar stated, probably the stock ROM.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krighton:
i was using one of the B&N clear protectors...I removed it and it still does it though not as bad....i'm hoping it's just the fingerprints causing it. I was in the B&N store earlier looking around, it started clicking on things on it's own, though not as frantic as when i had the screen protector on. With the protector on it was clicking so fast i couldn't get out of it, had to hold down the shutdown button.

i posted about the protector on the accessories forum.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenG:
Hm.. that sounds off krighton. I'm starting to think it could be a software issue. But before we dig into that, I think perhaps you should clean your screen as much as you can. If not, then you could try reinstalling your OS. I'm not too sure, is that possible? If so, or even if you can't, see if you can get anything done under warranty; since reinstalling could be a hassle.

I'm not too sure if warranty is available; I purchased the Nook HD+, and it didn't say anything about warranty, although I'd like to know. If anyone knows anything about warranty, could I please ask for your input? Thank you! :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krighton:
should get a standard 1 year warranty with the device....yeah sounds weird, cleaned the screen i 'll see what happens...would hate to mail it back in after rooting.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone0:
Just do 8bootloop b4 sending it back. But you should still at least try getting refund forthe screen protector if it cost you $20.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krighton:
yeah, i'll check that out...actually bought 2, the non glare and the clear....didn't like the non glare so i'll eat that one but the clear should have worked without problems.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunicMourning:
Which screen protector did you buy? I'm considering doing Invisible Shield. I have always had good luck with it on my phone.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solidsnake726:
I'm probably an odd person, but I never use screen protectors. It seems that the glass is tough enough for finger nails and the occasional contact with whatever else. However, I do believe in cases :D
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
I did it for fingerprints. The bare HD+ was awful. My anti-glare hides them, but I do have to wipe occasionally to prevent that wonky problem.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
I always intend to get a screen protector, but never quite get around to it. That said, my Nook Color's screen is mint after a couple years' use with a case, but without a screen protector. My phone came used with a nick in the screen, but isn't much the worse for wear even bouncing around in my pockets for a year and change.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lkmiller:
I haven't had any trouble with the clear B&N screen protector. I'm a believer in screen protectors since I somehow managed to scratch the screen of my first nook while plugging in the usb cable. :P I find the anti-glare type take away from the sharpness of the screen too much though.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krighton:
screen is pretty sensitive, just a few fingerprints and it turns pages on its own. Guess i need to find a better screen protector, cleaning the screen several times a day is a bit annoying.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krighton:
Could rooting have caused any of these problems? When it happens i have to turn off the nook, wipe it down really good and then it works for a while until it starts flipping pages on its own again. Maybe my nook is just hypersensitive to fingerprints.

[General Questions and Answers] KaiZ51:
I have bought a new Galaxy Nexus, what would you guys recommend to keep the information safe from other people in case someone steals the phone? Also could anything be done for localizing the phone in case of theft, if the phone is turned off by the thief?

I've had a Nexus S, but it was stolen so that's why I'm trying to be cautious this time.
[General Questions and Answers] thebopshoobop:
Assuming that you want to be on the more paranoid side of things...

Lock down your phone:

Make sure that adb debugging is not enabled

-settings>developer options

Set a secure lockscreen pin or password

-settings>security>screen lock

Since you have a nexus, you should enable encryption

-settings>security>encryption

For an added layer of security you can install an app such as App Protector, which allows you to set an additional password or pin that must be entered before opening the apps that you specify.

Track down your phone:

You should install an app such as Cerberus, Lost Phone, SeekDroid, or Lookout. These apps all have ways to help you find your phone.

It could also help to have your location history enabled.

-Open Google Maps and go to Menu > Settings.

-Choose Location settings.

-Check the "Enable location history" box to enable location history.

-Ensure that "Report from this device" is checked on your primary device.
[General Questions and Answers] KaiZ51:
Thanks, that was pretty helpful.

I just have a few more questions...

1- If I root my phone, and then enable encryption, but after a while want to change ROM how do I proceed? Will I lose my data? I'm asking this because it says on the encryption menu that you can't un-encrypt the phone, you can only do that if you do a factory reset.

2- As for tracking the phone, do any of those apps work if the phone is turned off?

[General Questions and Answers] melvinchng:
You can encrypt your USB storage, but this only works if you are in stock and not rooted.. You still can access your data if you're in recovery.

You can install those apps like plan B so that you can track your phone. I'm not sure with galaxy nexus, but in my nexus s, even with the sim is removed, there's still signal. So you're able to track once it is switched on. And there's remote wipe features too.
