Yeap I9100

EDIT: Okay so every time I flash the phone it says Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 then it turns off and shows the charging icon as if the phone was off and then if I leave it there about about 30 seconds it flashes for a second as if the system was booting up and it shows something installing then it goes back to the flashing battery icon!!! I don't know what to do anymore I have tried everything D: I think this phone is dead...

EDIT #2: Also it won't boot into recovery mode it won't even boot into Download mode unless I have it plugged in via USB :/ I think all hope is lost...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Lol, crazy, what kind of battery do you have? Stock samsung?

Take battery out, wait 5 mins and then charge it for a while (the phone didn't go off while flashing right?).

You still can't get to recovery?

If odin says pass, your nand is alright like I told you before.

EDIT on you EDIT 2: yeah man, that battery is outta juice! Charge it!

I have stock and 2 Anker 1900mAh I was using an Anker at 49% when flashing, everything was fine, the only problem was when I went to wipe devilk cache the phone just turned off for no reason, I always wipe the cache after installing a new ROM, maybe that bricked the phone? It just won't do anything, the batteries are full all of them are full, I charged them all last night to 100% with an external charger :/ this is so weird...

This exactly. There's no best anything when there are multiple valid options, in the same way that there's no best colour or best food or best car. Threads like this are completely pointless, as they ask a subjective question to which there is no definitive answer. As the above posts show, you're always going to get a tonne of different options so why not just decide for yourself? If you want to judge by popularity then look at app downloads and ratings.

AW: [Q] best launcher

Then simply don't reply if its annoying you....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

Sorry but it's these kinds of threads wich are annoying... threads like "What is the best rom","What is the best kernel","What is the best rom for battery life",What is the best kernel for battery life" or "Help me to choose a (best) kernel/rom"...

There was this kind of topics 2/3 times a day in General and Q&A section...For me it gets boring every day the same threads.

And now "what is the best launcher", after that there will "what is the best live wallpaper", "what is the best replacement icon", "what is the best sofkey replacement icon", "what is (the best) your preffered battery icone etc...

These threads are very subjective as the answers reflects nothing...Almost the time nothing is known of the usage/settings / what do you attempt from a launcher? Each time you have a name of the thing you asked, in this case just the name of a launcher, without any kinds of explanation from the why and how...

The best launcher will be the one wich suits your needs, but what are you needs???

A free / paid launcher? Simple and basic? With a ton of features? Wich looks like to the stock launcher? Etc...

Can't you test by yourself a little??? You'll have 10 differents replies... and after that how you choose? You made another thread or better a poll with the 10 replies that you have to know what is the best launcher among the answers that you got...???

Can't you search a little here on there the different launcher wich exists with their different features, changelogs, feedbacks of users, etc...??? And then test and make an opinion by yourself...

And when I read "if you do not like... do not read or do not reply" ... This is what I do :D,but when I naviguate in General or Q&A section...and when I see the titles of all these threads it bothers me to navigate through all these threads and to see new interesting topics between all of these topics to see 3/4 of interresting...

And you are not a newbie... :rolleyes:

And to reply to your question:the best launcher

:)

EDIT: it was good on the SIII section:

And it can be applied to all the "what is the best..." threads...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebrainkafka:
AW: [Q] best launcher

Thanks for thoroughly answer.

This subjective question gives a nice starting point for testing some launchers. You know there are tons out there.

So what's wrong in taking the chance of using other users subjective impressions. Its helpful to me, and thats what's xda stands for. Support and help.

As mentioned before. Just don't reply or read if a thread is annoying you. Its your win choice ticking and open the thread.

Or is there any xda rule permitting such questions?

Btw. Thx for your launcher feedback.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
To get impressions, you just need to go to the personalisation section of the Play store and look at the most downloaded launchers, there's no need to create a separate thread. As viking said, it's not just the concept of this thread itself which is annoying but the fact that you're not even providing any details of what suits you and then the fact that you're trying to justify yourself by essentially saying 'go away if you don't like it'.

Perhaps it would be better to link you to another thread which gives a good example of what I'm talking about. Take a read through this, especially Marvlesz's posts and you should understand exactly why 'Best ........ ?' threads are annoying.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KLR Rico:
I've owned my SGII since release, went through a few roms, never had any issues. I have been running liquidsmooth for a month or two, without much issue. Although, lately stablity has dropped off a little. Nothing bad, just a freeze every few days and other minor hiccups.

Then something bad happened.... Last night I was using the phone and it turned off. Then it wouldn't boot. Battery pull, and rebooted but no joy. Then I booted to recovery (TWRP, but I'm not sure which version) and found that it said something along the lines of "E: could not mount /system", along with lots of other similar failure to mount messages. Oh well, I guess I'll just wipe it and flash something new. Any attempt to wipe would hang and then the phone would turn off after a few minutes.

Then I went to flash the stock setup from odin (using the howto from the dev section) , but it too would fail every time. I even tried different builds from samsung's official roms, but they all would fail to install on the phone. I read every thread I could find, and the next thing to try seemed to be an emergency recovery through Kies. That also failed, except it left my phone hard bricked. I can't get into download or anything, nothing shows in the device manager, just completely dead... I made a USB jig, but no luck there either.

I'm completely frustrated... I don't know what to do now... Buy a MB from ebay? The phone was flawless before all this. Any suggestions? I'm using a blackberry pearl for now, I can't let that happen. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sk3tchy:
Have you tried the Jig on another Samsung phone so you know the one you made physically works?

Some people have managed to get into DL Mode by pulling the battery, SIM, SD, etc. For 5 - 10 minutes then connecting it to the pc with Odin running b4 inserting the battery to enter DL Mode.

Otherwise mobiletechvideos has a really good reputation and turn around time for JTag service.

There is a chance its a hardware problem, and hopefully another member on here can shed some light on the possibility of it being a HW issue or not..

Cheers,

Chris
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KLR Rico:
Thanks for the suggestions. I don't have another samsung phone to try the jig with, but I'll see if I can get a friend to let me hook up this crazy looking thing. I got the resistors set up to 299K, hoped that would be close enough, but perhaps not.

I tried that plug-first-battery-second trick to get into DL mode, but that's not working either.

I looked at the jtag service too, but my fear is that I have corrupted memory. In that case, I wouldn't get a refund if I still couldn't get to a fully healthy boot. It seems odd though... not like it's a common trend for this particular model (that I've seen).

Just seems so strange that it happened for no apparent reason... before it was hard bricked I was able to USB mount the internal storage and access and transfer almost all the contents, except for one folder. I wonder if that one part of the memory caused all the problems?

Again, thanks for the suggestions. I'll keep plugging away at anything that might help, and in the mean time I guess I'll keep my eyes out for broken phones or some way to salvage a board.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sk3tchy:
If im not mistaken, a hard brick should show up in you device manager as the board itself when connected.

Does anything show in you device manager when its connected? And have you tried using a different PC which has never had Kies installed on it, where you just install the drivers for the T989?

Odin tends to fail at the modem or due to the presence of a .PIT

I got myself out of a brick which started over the a very similar issue, but due to a bad flash.

After 5 hrs of getting nowhere (I was using a Jig) I would get Odin to recognize the phone (My Screen was NOT displaying the DL Mode screen, It was going into DL Mode but other than Odin recognizing it, there were no signs of life!) after enought tries but flashing to stock would fail. I ended up taking a shot at flashing the stock kernel using 512.Pit from a T959, Reflashing the same Kernel, then flashing recovery. I don't advise anyone do this as that PIT file is NOT for a T989, and it may have been BS luck not the use of that PIT file that did the trick.

But I did get it back running %100
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KLR Rico:
Good tips, thanks! Were you using the jig to get the phone into the black screen download mode?

I hadn't tried another PC, although I did make sure any Kies processes were disabled. I just tried another computer, but still nothing gets recognized. Oddly enough, not even the basic "hard brick" USB driver shows up in the device manager.

Thanks for the additional ideas.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KLR Rico:
Unfortunately for me, since data, cache, and system couldn't be mounted, I couldn't successfully clear them. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sk3tchy:
I would put the jig in with the battery and everything still removed, and alot of trial and error trying things like battery first then connecting the cable with Odin always being already running. Then doing the reverse, etc.

When I did get Odin to recognize the phone, one thing I learnt is when it would detect, it only ever happened after having killed and reopened Odin. I have no explanation on why using "End Task" after each attempt to connect and opening Odin again made a difference but it did.

Have you had a look at the QPST thread? I would ask one of the members contributing to it about why you would or would not see the board. And you could always try installing the boards drivers manually, or enable "Show hidden devices" in your device manager.....

Did you contact the guys at mobiletechvideos and explain the details?

You were able to boot to recovery, so it sounds partition related. But I would try just to flash the stock UVLH1 kernel and recovery with Odin vs full stock rom if you do get it to detect. And if it does detect with Odin eventually do not let it reboot or loose power. Just Kill Odin, unplug the cable if you need to, Start Odin again and reconnect the cable. Once in DL Mode it will stay in DL Mode as long as you have the reboot option in Odin unchecked, etc.

Also if you can get the battery charged fully somehow, your best shot is with a fully charged battery.

Now, can anyone tell me what's the BEST ROM for atrix 4g MB860 out there?

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G General] mbamberg:
"Best" is always a matter of personal preference. The common reply to to try a few out and see which one really suits you. Remember that many don't support the WebTop feature of the phone, so if you have, and use, a LapDock, you'll want to stick with ones that support it.

Think through your personal needs and wants and compare them to the feature list for the ROM, then go flash and try it.

So recently I've noticed that when my wife and I exchange video messages via stock, chomp, handsent, or gosms messengers, no matter what the mms configuration is. They alway show up grainy and in one occasion with handsent as a GIF.

So I'v noticed that when I choose to shoot video from within gosms the video settings in the video app are set to mms mode making the video resolution the lowest it can possibly be, so no matter what I set gosms to the initial video is still very low res.

My question is.

Is there a mod or a way to change this so that the video can be taken at a higher resolution.
