[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
lol, take your dad's laptop or something, ask your neighbor, tell them that I back you up on this :silly:

try this:

1) Plug your phone.

2) Keep that device manager window opened.

3) Check if something new pops up (maybe with an exclamation point next to it, Universal Serial Bus Controllers tag | "unknown device")

4) If it does show up, right click and uninstall it.

5) Install kies.

6) Reboot you PC.

7) Close all kies applications running (ctrl + alt + supr).

8) Run Odin and make this happen.

tried it on 2 different computers (one with windows 8) and it didn't work... Might give it another try today
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Leave the phone without the battery for 12 hours, and then give it another go.

It's BS, but BS works sometimes. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blikzemfritz:
ok, will try that. I miss my phone:(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blikzemfritz:
Yeah still didn't work. I f*cking hate this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blikzemfritz:
I've seen things about JTAG or something like that. would that work and where can i do it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
JTAG is used for bootloader flashing.

You really gotta focus on make Odin see your device.

The thing is that sometimes it sees it and most of the time it doesn't. That's some really weird stuff.

No luck with other pc's? Tried plug in you phone to you pc and search for new hardware?

Maybe it pops up.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blikzemfritz:
No didn't try that. also the other pc's don't recongnize it so it must be a phone issue. how do you search for new hardware?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Control Panel, add hardware or something like that. Have you tried plugging in to a laptop?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blikzemfritz:
ok will try that tomorrow. Have tried it in a windows 7 and 8 laptop.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Man, I'm starting to hate your device :p

That reminds me, tried cleaning the usb port? if not, use a nail polish aplicator and gently clean it up.

Device off, of course.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blikzemfritz:
ok at the moment of speaking it is installing drivers, it started when i plugged in the phone.

so good hope
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blikzemfritz:
well it fails again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blikzemfritz:
odin says:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blikzemfritz:
tried it again and now it is doing the 'setupconnection' thing and it takes forever
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
This is starting to sound like a service center solution.

Warranty voided?

You can look into pit files threads....but

you need your pc to see your device

to perform re-partitions.

Pray it's the usb flex, that's cheap & easy to replace.

Tried cleaning it? Who knows, maybe it's just dusty in there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blikzemfritz:
well, i thought that warranty is voided at the moment you root, so yes it is voided. I will try that but what are these .pit files, i've searched for them before but couldn't find them. also IF i have to take it to a service center, how much would it cost?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
How's you flash counter? if it's 0, they won't know that you modified the device ;)

So NO, warranty is not voided, as long as they can't prove you did anything to your phone. You can always say that it just wouldn't boot up after you made an Kies/OTA update.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blikzemfritz:
it counts 2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Okay, no worries, check this out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimbo33:
Could this be something as simple as a defective usb wire? I have seen something similar before where one minute a phone would charge and the next it wouldn't. With a new wire the problem vanished.

In my case cleaning the phones usb socket with a little contact cleaner also helped.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blikzemfritz:
I probably can't try it today because I might not go home but I got exactly the same message as the guy (which i assume you are) above.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Ok guys this is about reading this thread and apply some trial & error.

You all can get to Download Mode: ?

Your PC sees your device every time you plug it in: ?

Odin sees your device: ?

3 versions of Odin available in your PC: ?

Kies Updated: ?

Kies related applications NOT running in background: ?

2 USB cables: ?

If all answers above are YES, flash the ROM (provided or of your choice, PHONE, MODEM, CSC).

If doesn't work:

- Try another USB port on your PC + Try it in another PC (same method) + Try a Laptop.

- Flash siyah kernel and see if you can get to Recovery + Flash a custom ROM via zip file.

- Make sure your device's USB port is not dusty.

- Read this thread again and make it happen.

- You can try all the above again & again.

We all just want your device back.

- Start thinking Warranty Claim, start looking for a usb jib to clean your device from evidence of flashing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toragsoy666:
TY TY TY

OMG!!!! i did it man! thanks for the advice.. i never thought flashing kernel would do the job...hahaha..

here is what i did:

i downloaded and installed Odin3 v3.04

then downloaded Siyah-s2-v4.1.5

put my phone to download mode

and connected to my pc

run odin3 v.3.04

put the .tar file to PDA and flashed it...

then it went to recovery mode after reboot..

luckily i have a Nandroid back.up of Rootbox ICS v1.8 and restored it

and VOILA!!! I'm back to normal again!! yeepee...

you deserve a BIG THANKS sir Gaston!! cheers!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:

IT WORKS!!!!!!!

I had planned to bring it back tomorrow but i just gave it a last try and flashed the siyah kernel and it worked! I'm so happy that I consider using the word gay as in happy to describe it:p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toragsoy666:
that's good man! we did it!:good:

now, as i flashed a stock based rom (neatrom lite v4), i encountered this texts on my home screen.. you might want to check this out sir gaston? i have no idea what kind of problem i'm facing so i just posted it here hoping you can diagnose my phone..

see attached files sir..

it wont disappear on my home screen..i don't know how to remove it..:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
That's awesome news guys, glad you are back on your feet.

@toragsoy666: You just got your device back, so if you don't wan't to flash another ROM (understandable, lol) you can try this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toragsoy666:
hahaha...i just can't keep from flashing every rom that i see. i'm on Slim GT-19100 4.2.1 RC 1 and i liked it..but STILL...i want to settle with stock because of the icons..i just love the way it looked..so i searched a stock ics rom(modified) but not themed. so i stumbled upon NeatROM Lite 4...and so the problem persist.. i think it was called Lock Screen? is it right? anyway, ill try the link that you gave me later... thank you by d way sir gaston. ^^
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
No problem.

Don't end up like this guy tho:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blikzemfritz:
It's works great except the battery drains like a bucket with holes (made that up). I have searched for things but couldn't find a real good solution.

Also I'm trying this: 1. Fully charge it. 2. Enter Recovery mode. 3. Wipe battery stats.

Would this work?

anyway how do I solve this. I do like to use a phone which i can use longer than an hour.

ps. also when I connect it to the charger it drains

Hi,

not a solution, but I had a similar problem with the stock file manager that crashed everytime I copied or moved files (it was on alij FTM branded). I tried everything, but It was only solved when upgrading the rom to dll4. By the way, you can try to clear cache or data of the S-planner,but I am not sure it will help.

[HTC One S] dnak24:
Hey guys I need some help. I'm usually able to find answers to all my problems because they've already been answered, but for once, I'm stumped.

I can't seem to get my One S out of CWM recovery. Every time I try to reboot, the screen will flash briefly a couple times, and will come right back to cwm. I can't access the bootloader screen, and cant mount my sd card (error given is: "Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory"). I think I may have caused this by not first flashing boot.img via fastboot before flashing trickdroid. I followed all steps to root without a problem.

I'm not quite sure what else to try at this point. Since I can't access bootloader screen, I can't use fastboot. I can adb push files to my device, though.

Any help/suggestions you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: After what seemed like the 100th time I tried to restart the device, it finally booted normally. Not sure what caused it, but the device works fine now.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Have you tried re running the Hack Kit from the white screen? I guess that you still have the goldcard in your cell....

Thanks for posting this. I'm going to wait a few weeks and see if I can just do step one and see if it fixes the "Official" status and resets the Binary counter. If not, I'll have to try the Root, Triangle Away, Unroot method in Step two. I've never rooted, so that step worries me a little. Right Now, very happy with the German 8010 JB running on my 8013, with no problems. Just wish there was a way to get 4.1.2 on it. Really want to see the part of adding any app to the Multiview function.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] stevezor:
Quick question:

Could anyone explain to me why my flash counter is at 4?

I flashed my Note first via the two step method. Saw the "custom" status so I flashed the full JB over it (the one step method). So shouldn't the counter read 3?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Did you flash CWM or any other custom recovery even that increases the flash counter
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Dual_Everything:
I posted a couple if times in the original thread but I will post here again.

I have an 8013 with the german rom and it has been working great,. Including

the wifi dongle.

I got rid of the "custom" status in the settings menu. I did this by booting into recovery mode and

doing a factory reset from there. I ha already tried factory reset from the settings menu (not booted

into recovery) and that did not work.

Anyway this is simple enough so I would suggest a few others try this and post back with results.
