[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
i'll second the suggestion to try and access a PC to do this. i dont own/use a mac myself, but i've heard of users bricking their devices via a virtual machine.

on a positive note, RPelham's suggestion to use odin to correct this issue is spot on. when i first began rooting/flashing back in the day, i flashed an ICS kernel onto my gingerbread-running device. i experienced the same soft brick that you are now. by using odin on a PC, i was able to flash the correct kernel and the phone booted right up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RPelham:
I've heard the same for virtual machines, I try to recommend heimdall when I see a Mac, but heimdall can also be touchy.

Mac is just not a good system to use to recover these phones.

hi guys, i flashed the lte modem on my phone and it seems that its wiped out my efs folders, ive been trying to restore my efs folder with nvtools and qpst, neither seems to work since somehow dm mode is not responding to them

any solns? ty in advance for any help

a couple of things:

ive already odin'd back to stock, no luck on restoring efs(perhaps im doing something wrong?) i dialed *#7284# and put it into the RNDIS+DM+MODEM mode, nvtools says phone failed to answer while QPST says that comm7(the samsung serial port) is not a phone

its pretty had to do this since the phone is rebooting itself every other minute

Been there, sucks. For me to get out of the constant restarts I had to flash the lte modem again. Flash stock (odin) flashed cwm (odin), put the modem on my external sd card and flashed that.At least that way I could work on it a little. And below is basically what I did to finally get it to work. Hard to say all my steps as I was trying everything.

Well I dont really know how I got mine back to life, tried all the standard stuff from the threads,got my imei back but had no network,network type,service nothing helped. last resort I said whatever ill try anything now. Came across this

http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-n...3g4g-aws-bands-on-att-galaxy-note-2-sgh-i317/

whatever it did it restored everything (cold see carrier,network,etc)but corrupted imei, next i followed this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1804117

If you need this is a complete no imei nv backup I used before flashing my imei with the generator

http://db.tt/4hunZ7qy

used the imei generator, then the writer (link on post does not work for the imei generator,so found it here

http://d-h.st/vVV

Wrote my imei back and presto, back in action. Fully functional again, including 4G

Like I said this was a last resort, but worked

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AznDud333:
got it fixed on friday, was so tired that i went to sleep

basically i followed someone's post on the forum(forgot name) and flashed the tmo modem, since the mct one always gave me the bootloop, then i enabled DM mode and finally got nv tools/qpst to recognize my phone, it appears that the issue was that the drivers does not recognize the new modems..

anyway, once i was done restoring nv, i flashed the tmo lte modem and paranoid android

now i have my imei back and i can use lte :D

although my bluetooth address still says unknown..not sure if normal
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rail205:
My bluetooth also says unavailable, I would think if you are not hooked up to bluetooth then it should say unavailable. Im to scared to flash the tmo lte modem again...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpha9ner:
So i have just installed the jelly bean 4.1.2 by United Kingdom three and have noticed that my ram usage is a little high.

I have 280-315 mb free ram?

I have removed all the unused apps and defragged the phone but there is no difference in the ram usage.

The only thing i have not done is a factory reset.

So is this normal for the 4.1.2? If not what should i do to fix this high ram usage? :confused:

In the Sync file option, there is an option to sync

"C:\Documents and Settings\username\Mes documents\Pocket_PC My Documents\" but I want to sync on my storage card rather than on de device memory.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chelseytx:
Okay, all!

I have been a lurker for a while now and y'all have been a BIG help (I am actually comfortable flashing ROMs- and I am learning the lingo - see?)

Now it’s my turn to post. I am helping a friend with her Samsung Captivate - AT&T. something happened last night (it had to have updated, because she doesn't really download anything. also - her battery started draining very quick last night. She had to turn it off for other reasons too.) And now get the "Sorry! The application TwLauncher (process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close" it is in loop mode, I cannot get anywhere after unlocking the screen. The status bar doesn't work, neither do the buttons. So I can’t even get to settings. I/we are not so worried about the phone itself, but she has some holiday pictures of her brother who recently passed away on it, and didn't have an SD card in it. So, this is really my last hope.

Now you are probably saying "well, why don't you look at other threads." I did! And came up with some options on my own as well. Below is a list of what I have thought of, have found, tried and have some questions on. Please let me know if you have any other options or info, as I am her last hope. The store and repair shops are not very helpful.

I can’t tell you for sure what she is running, but it should be current stock, no mods at all.

bat pull - DONE, no change

sim card pull - DONE, no change

force DL a new launcher from PC. - DONE, can’t get it to download. It says she never downloaded anything to the phone from the mobile market. (I think this may have something to do with not have 4g and Wi-Fi not on. from what I have read)

Built in recovery mode cache wipe - DONE, no change

I installed Samsung kies, tried to plug the phone into the computer, but the PC won’t recognize the phone. I think it is in charge only mode, but I can’t access the option to change it.

P.S. debugging mode is ON.

Okay, so now what I found on here - these lead to my questions as well.

If I "wipe user data" will this wipe pictures, videos, etc. as well? I do NOT care about apps.

I found the below threads and have questions.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1795638

Post # 2 - can I do this from the recovery screen? And will is keep the data (pictures)? I don’t care about contacts, messages, etc.

Post # 3 - cans I re flash the ROM from the SD card? (Again - NOT rooted)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1417244

Found and tried everything - it don' work Lucy. :(

I think this is all for the moment. I appreciate any and ALL help. She is to the point of tears about those pictures and I really want to bring her some good news.

edit: another try: press and hold search key for voice. - DONE. i get a connection error for voice. or an "app has stopped unexpectedly"
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1batt1:
I would suggest doing wipe user data option. It shouldn't touch anything stored on your internal SD as you've already read elsewhere but there's always the possibility that things can go wrong. If you aren't worried about apps, text messages, and all that stuff I would also suggest looking at this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3 If you go that route I suggest the Odin KK4 with bootloaders as your one click option. Going the one-click route will start you over with a completely stock phone as far as the ROM goes but again shouldn't touch the internal SD.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laughingT:
whoa, dude. a lot of questions at once.

what rom was the phone running before you started?

you say it got updated but at&t doesn't do ota updates on cappy. they direct you to use minikies update packs, not kies. from samsung direct to pc, not ota.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Have u tried to use ADB to get the pics, etc. off the phone and copied to the pc ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chelseytx:
great - thanks! i will look at the url and try the wipe.

not sure what rom she was on before - didn't look at the phone until today.

i think TW Launcher updated somehow. but i could be wrong. i was checking into the problem and found out about the Kies and tried that. but couldn't get the phone to connect. (i now can SOMETIMES get the notifications down.)

no - please give me more info? i will try anything!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:

i will! thanks

now:

how do i change my post title to show the [solved}?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1batt1:
I'm glad that worked out for you and her. I would suggest making a backup of the photos and then look into moving up to some more recent roms that are posted here on XDA. They will make her enjoy her phone again and she won't have to deal with Touchwiz anymore lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chelseytx:
oh, believe me! they are already backed up.

as for the rom: she had an upgrade available, so that wast a big deal. and she jumped ship to the phoney world. LOL so no SD card anymore. now we just need to make sure we get her on the cloud. *grin*

hi need some help. I noticed today I could rotate into landscape when in youtube. I then tried in web browser, gmail, ect... nothing rotates. I was on JediXP12 when this happened. I tried restoring a backup from when was just stock rooted. I am currently downloading the odin stock version to try that but didnt know if anyone encountered this before or had any suggestions...

Thanks for any help in advanced....

edit: never mind...ODIN back to stock seemed to fix it...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bstrong9211:
I hate to he captain obvious, but did you go into settings and enable auto rotate?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bkeaver:
I did do a simple reboot. I ticked and unticked screen rotation, I wiped cache and dalvik cache, I also did a factory reset. I also reflashed with full wipe the jedi rom and clean roms. Non of those options worked.

So no a simple reboot was not the answer. The only thing that worked was Odin back to stock like I stated.

Thanks anyways guys...

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mastrv:
Does anyone else have the situation for the recents button on the navbar in AOKP 4.2.2 JB where it launches Google search instead of recents?

I've also noticed that the position roughly maps to the navring target that goes to Google search.

If I press the left part of the icon it goes to recents and the right part goes to Google now.

Minor inconvenience.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mastrv:
FYI, this was addressed in a bug reported in AOKP. They ring targets were moved slightly so this would not occur. I tested in the most recent build available, 20130408, and this seems to be working properly now.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyOHart:
Hey there. I took a loan of my mums phone but I needed to unlock it so I went to root it.

I got Odin and it passed fine, and when I went to reboot, it said it was downloading and not to turn off. But it went on for ages so I presumed it froze so I turned the phone off and back on.

Now the phone wont turn on.

When turned off it charges fine, the charging symbol comes up and all but when I turn it on the screen goes black and nothing happens.

It's connected to USB and sounds like it gets picked up but I can't see it in my computer.

Can anybody help me and tell me how to fix this? I want to fix it before I have to give it back to her.

Thanks for any help!

EDIT

BTW I can still get into the CWM I think its called recovery menu. I'm pretty sure the phone was rooted, it just wont start up correctly.

I tried wiping dalvik cache, restoring to factory settings and fixing permissions, nothing fixed the issue however

This is the tutorial I followed: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-jelly-bean-android-4-1-14-1-2/

once again.. if it your first rooting process then you need to unlock the bootloader.. use CF-root by chainfire..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Not quite. The bootloader on the SGS2 isn't locked.

You need a rooted kernel which has busybox & SU. CFRoot does, but you can also flash the Odin version of any custom kernel which works with the Android version of the stock rom you're running to achieve the same result, I.E a rooted phone.

What file did you flash?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Ok, calm down. If you can boot into recovery you are ok. Here's what you do. Download chris41g's el26 stock cwm(tar). Google it. Boot into download mode. Flash the kernel through Odin. When it says pass and reboots, pull the battery. Reinsert and boot into recovery. You will be in cwm now. Do the cache, dalvik wipe, then flash the ROM(E4GT only, since in assuming that's the phone you have) you have saved in your phone's ext or internal drive, and when it's done, reboot, and you should be good. If you didn't save the rom, you'll have to mount the usb storage and load it through cwm. Search the threads for that too. Good luck

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
How about calming down. Not shouting and tell us exactly what Odin file you say you flashed and how. Sounds like you tried to flash just a kernel -FL24 via PC odin. Yes you'll get that yellow triangle.

Also sounds like you flashed a kenel that was not compatible with the Android version you were on (you ROM version) hence the not booting to ROM

Simple fix.

Download a Full Restore Odin One-click

. They can be found in RWilco's repository http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1903252

Read carefully how to use it to flash the entire ROM. It's dead simple.

Then go back and do a whole LOT of reading about how to update and modify this phone or you're going to paperweight a device! Your posts sounds like someone who saw an operation on a tv show once then tried to do an appendectomy on someone and freaked out that it didn't work how you thought it would.

Patience, read, learn. Search read some more and patience will get you far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Ha, I already tried to calm him/her down, lol. The op was hours ago, so they either calmed down and actually read what we wrote or some of the INCREDIBLY simple threads the guys here at XDA put together, or they have a nice expensive paperweight.
