[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] arturik70:
Hi everyone!

I have a bricked SGS2 from t-mobile. I can't tell exactly what has been flashed to it before, because it wasn't done by me. After flashing a rom it's bricked.

At the moment I can't get it into download mode or turn it on. The screen is black.

Things I've tried and they didn't work:

1. Charge the battery in case it's disscharged. (the phone is charging the battery, but there are no indication lights)

2. Remove battery>press vol up and vol down>insert usb cable.

3. I bought a usb jig and it also doesn't work. ( I followed all instruction how to get it work)

4. When I connect the phone to the PC (with battery or without it) the PC offers me to format the drive I inserted, and every 5 seconds the phone drive gets disconected and connected again after each time windows offers me to format the drive.

5. When I press the power button- nothing happens.

Anyone could help me? Has anyone sorted this kind of problems?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidshadow:
Hello xda-developers!

Well here is my situation. I just got my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 about 1 week ago (Southern California, USA) and the first thing I did was root the device so that I could enable all features and do things like install linux/busybox.

Okay so just the other day i was looking at my notifications and it said that there was a software update. I figured that this was probably samsung's official jelly bean and i was excited to update so I downloaded the software it was around 330MB's. After the download it asked me if i wanted to install now or install later and i choose now and afterwards the device rebooted and it booted into CMW-Recovery and i got this error.

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

Now i heard that i am getting this error because this "software update" is not "officially" signed by Samsung. I don't know if that is true or not...

So i have a couple of questions...

One, is this update for jelly bean?

Two, how can i go about updating to jelly bean?

Three. is my rooted status blocking this update?

Four, is it possible to root the device after the jelly bean update?

If anyone can assist me with this error that I am getting I would really really appreciate it. I am not sure where to go from here.

sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-P5113&pcode=0&os=1&type=3#firmware

do you guys think that software update i was seeing was jelly bean?

I thank you all for your time and assistance.

First, wrong section. This is for the first gen Galaxy Tab, you have the second gen.

Second, good chance the OTA didn't flash because of the custom stuff, there is asserts to stop flashing if something is missing.

Third, find your appropriate section and post there, you might get a more definitive answer for your device.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheReverend210:
As I'm nice, I did a bit of research, and it appears it uses the exynos chip, so any standard rooting tutorial will work, do a search.

Although, it was on the US cellular website, so if you root and it turns out its a TI-OMAP chip, don't blame me.

Hi guys,

I have a galaxy s2 with the latest AOKP rom installed. It's been working fine (except for GPS which got fixed once i swapped out the SIM card). I just came back from overseas and had a bunch of pictures on the phone. None of the pictures show up anymore. The SD Card had some pictures but they were old, and I should have a lot of pictures stored on the internal device.

I tried running recuva on just the sd card but they didn't come up. I only noticed that I had to reinstall 1 application so far because it wasn't working. Also, when I browse my phone using my computer, it seems like the root directory is missing a bunch of folders (I have hidden files to show).

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BeenAndroidized:
Not sure what had happen to your device. But the best course of action is to pull out your external microSD card and connect it to your computer directly to see if you can see the contents in that card. If yes, download them to your computer and back them up. Then format your microSD card with the phone, the phone should be able to read after that.

Once you have done that, if you can see all the rest of the pictures on your phone, transfer them to the external microSD and do the same thing and back those picture up.

Once the backup is done (if you are able to), then you can start working on fixing your GS2. Even if you have to reflash the ROM then you will have the data backup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bascotie:
Thanks. I actually tried just that before I posted. Took out the card, put it in a usb adapter and plugged it into the computer. Ran recuva, pulled everything out, and formatted it. Still nothing =/

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jiggity Janx:
Just had this happen to my gs3. Phone and sdcard in pc reader showed dcim and a couple other folders as empty that should not have been. When plugged into pc using mtp and/or usb by enabling/disabling usb debugging finally showed two sets of each folder. Seems like it couldnt read sdcard at some point so the apps created new folders when they shouldnt have. Copied dcim folder to my desktop but still cant read the files even though it shows them as large files like pics/videos would be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BeenAndroidized:
Hmm, go into your setting and see if you can mount the microSD card.

That part is grayed out, looks like its mounted already I see two different sets of storage
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bswann:
This happened to me too. I rebooted my phone for some reason and when it booted up all my pics/images were gone. All the folders were still there but were empty. I managed to get everything back by taking out the SD card and putting it in my computer then used Recuva. Strange that Recuva didn't help you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bascotie:
Well Recuva did find a bunch of pictures on the sd card but it turns out they weren't the ones I took overseas. A weird situation..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BeenAndroidized:
Unmount then mount it again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bascotie:
I don't see an unmount option. Also when I did the recuva, I formatted the SD card so that part should be empty. I think the pics are somewhere on internal storage

[LG Optimus Black] neonflash:
i wanted to update my lg optimus black to ics.

there is an official release but when i try it ota i get msg "connection failed caused by authentication error"

so i was going to update it using this method

http://www.android.gs/update-lg-optimus-black-p970-official-android-4-0-ics/

i installed lg suite on my pc

i downloaded the kdz file but it doesnt open just asks me to chose a program from list or one from the web. i chose lg suite & when i do lg suite itself opens but there is nothing to show the kdz (note i've been doing this without my phone connected via usb - do i need to have it connected before it will work?)

so i have no idea why its not working? or how i can get it to work?

the instructions say:

get the KDZ file.

Then, connect the handset with the computer by using its USB cord.

Now, from the computer run the KDZ executable file.

Up next, set “Type” and “Phone Mode” to select the .kdz file in your PC.

The update should now begin, so just wait and don’t make any other changes.

The process should take a couple of minutes.

In the end, remove the USB cord and reboot the phone.

can anyone help? ive no idea why what should be such a simple task is just not working :[
[LG Optimus Black] post-mortem:
Use this program to download the correct kdz file for your device. Then use LGMDP to flash. KDZ updater should be a last resort, as it is less safe (you're more likely to brick your phone).

Search LGMDP here on XDA to see other threads, too.

[HTC Desire C] Phenziox:
What do you mean to say with that?
[HTC Desire C] whoamigriffiths:
that the Jury is out as to whether this actually works or whether it's Placebo . It's your phone and completely up to you what apps you run on it but much like that app I started a thread about there is absolutly no irefutible evidence that they work . In fact it's the same with all these scripts.

We can't benchmark any of these things accuratly as we don't have the tools to measure if they make a difference . Antututututu ? you get up to 150 pts difference every time you run it . I can't remember the name of the other benchmark tool of the top of my head(Quadrant) but theres a script to use which adds over 1k to the score without really doing anything .

So with all of these tweaks all we have is "it feels smoother , it feels quicker " as our test .

I read the N7 forum heavily and I've noticed a trend over the past 6 weeks or so where people have stopped talking performance . The new thing is Battery life . I'm assuming because you can at least accurately measure battery life . But why we need our devices last 67 days(exageration) in sleep mode I have no idea , as we all have battery chargers.

What I'm saying is read hard and thoroughly with some of these apps . Hey its all well and good if we get to try these for free . BUT some of these apps are for sale as well . I followed one thread of an app 2 weeks ago that went from Jesus walking on water to the Devil in the space of a few days . During that time in the frenzy it sold 600+ apps at £1.50 ish . Thats not bad going for an app that no one can prove measurably (that I have seen yet) actually works beyond "it feels smoother, faster , etc ) Thats not to mention the American playstore which I assume is run seperatly to ours as the talk was that over a 1000 +were sold at what ever many dollars they were sold at.

So I'm just saying with my original post . Other than how it "feels" to us . There is no real proof it does anything (and yes I've tried it on both my devices .....twice(the free version from here))

Hope that clarifies my remark for you :)

Yeah, I got a "Tesveden T101" from dx.com, it's 2.3.5 masked as 4.0.1 as well. DooMLord won't work because it uses zergRush. Perhaps zergRush could work if it didn't have that version check. I'm in the process of reusing DooMLord's method but with recompiled zergRush with no version check. Anyone knows if I can do this with the C4Droid app? I don't have that much time to set up a crosscompiler just for one program.

If you are in the US, DON'T Sim unlock your phone because it is already illegal. Started just last Saturday. The only way you can unlock it legally is to ask the carrier that sold you the phone.

[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
Only if you bought your phone after October 12th if I'm not mistaken. Bought before then I think its still ok to unlock. Research this first before you try something potentially illegal.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Not to mention that this law is HIGHLY likely to be overturned on appeal as soon as any lawyer worth his salt gets a hold of the case.

The DMCA was designed for a completely different purpose that can't even remotely be connected with the locked status of a cell phone. It's an easy appeal. Someone just has to appeal it.
[HTC Sensation] AndroidNeophyte:
I sure hope so. They implement this to protect copyright infringement. I might be missing something but I don't see the connection between copyright protection and Sim unlock. Law makers just jump on a decision just to show they are doing something :mad: even if it doesn't make sense.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
It has nothing to do with copywrite infringement.

And lawmakers didn't even do this one.

It was the Library of Congress who suddenly decided that Sim Unlocking should not be exempt from the DMCA.

The whole thing WREAKS of the mobile carriers influencing an unelected policy maker to basically create self serving laws that didn't exist prior.
[HTC Sensation] lokiju:
Resolved, did S-OFF with Juopunutbear and flashed PG58DIAG here.

Basically S-OFF and "method 2" from the tutorial posted above.

If someone has this problem: you have to be S-OFF to flash PG58DIAG. It is not specified in the tutorial. Unlocked bootloader and root are not enough.

Moving apps to sd is possible when the app lets you do it, just see the details for each app on the app manager.
