hi there..I managed to make a Motorola Factory cable and got the bootloader working..BUT the sbf fi,e which you suggested failed to flash....any other advice brother?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shubhu2604:
Press "Vol- + power" and enter into stock recovery. Wipe data and cache.

In ur PC/Laptop, Ensure you have the motorola device drivers Installed and RSD lite 5.3.1.(mentioned in the above link)

When u put ur phone into bootloader (which is ver. 9.1) ur phone must be recognized. Then follow all the steps properly On that thread.

You have a MB526 right..? Can u also mention its Serial no. ie, DFP<something>..?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonGut:
Hello everybody!

Recently I've got used Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) from ebay. I'd like to update it from GB to JB. Found lots of great information on this forum an in the net, but still not sure if I understand the procedure right.

Some information about current system:

- rooted by previous owner, no idea how exactly.

from "About":

- Android version: 2.3.6

- Baseband: I9100XXKI3

- Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKK5-CL754841 root@DELL144 #2

- Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKK5

*#1234#:

- PDA: I9100XWKK5

- PHONE: I9100XXKI3

- CSC: Unknown

eMMC check:

- Type: VYL00M

- FwRev: 0x19

- Brick Bug: YES, insane chip

I'm using linux, so Heimdall is a way to go. I downloaded current PIT file from device, XWLSE firmware from Sammobile (includes boot.bin and factoryfs.img only), and PhilZ kernel for this firmware.

Now, if I understand it right, I have to do the following:

1. backup

2. Restart in Download mode

3. Detect device in Heimdall-frontend

4. Choose PIT file I downloaded from device before

5. Choose partition files

6. Flash

At the step 5 I have the problem: boot.img should be the BOOT partition. Different sources say also IBL+PBL, or SBL. However, I have only SBL1, SBL2 in the list.

So, I have following questions, aswers to which I couldn'd find:

1. Do miss something?

2. Why CSC is unknown? is it okay?

3. What is a right Partition Name for boot.bin? Is it OK to call it SBL1 (probably not)

4. If not, what can I do? Can I use different PIT? From where?

5. Is it safe to repartition? (brick bug)

6. If I repartition, do I need images for all partitions?

7. Why Sammobile firmware doesn't include kernel?

I'd be happy to get some answers, or links to relevant information. Meanwhile, reading the forums.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Since u are rooted already, flash using Mobile Odin. Trust me, much safer than Odin/Heimdall. :)

As for ur questions:

I have personally never used Heimdall, and so I can't answer questions related to it.

Sammobile firmwares do contain kernels (named zImage I guess).

Brickbug affects only 4.0.4 firmwares. U are safe on 2.3.6.

I have heard using PIT files with Odin is a last resort (like when u cannot flash normally), but I don't know if that applies to Heimdall also. :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonGut:
Thanks, will look into it.

I have three XWLSE with different CSC, one XWLSD and XWLSN from sammobile. All unpacked, none contains kernel (no zImage). All have boot.bin and factoryfs.img, XWLSD also has cache.img. That's all. Not a big issue IMO, since kernels are available separately. Just currious, why is it so, would those firmwares work with older kernel, and which ones do contain kernel.

It seems, in Heimdall PIT is required. You don't have to repartition though, there is separate checkbox for it. Heimdall doesn't accept .tar.md5 package, but wants to have pratition images separately. If I understand it right, it looks in PIT what partitions are needed, and which image goes where. So I unpacked firmware, downloaded existing PIT, and tried to use it. However, it doesn't have anything called "boot" or "IBL+PBL", but SBL1, SBL2 and some others. That's where I stuck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Thanks for the info on Heimdall.:thumbup:

On flashing stock firmwares, my custom kernel gets replaced by a stock one. So am sure there must be a kernel in a stock firmware. :)

Sorry I couldn't be of much help..

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonGut:
Just a short update. I'm still getting courage to actually flash something on device. Just prefer to understand what I'm doing.

Here is a quite detailled guide for using Heimdall, which confirms that I understood it right in earlier posts. It just didn't mention pit-download function, and suggests to repartition, which is not a good idea according to some.

As for partition purposes, names etc, I'm still quite confused.

This thread explains, that BOOT, RECOVERY, and KERNEL partitions are basically the same, and include actual kernel and initramfs image. This kind of answers the question, where did they hide kernel in sammobile-firmware. It is also mentioned there, that "recovery" is an exact copy of "kernel". However in pit-file from my device they have different size.

Anoter problem/question is why there is boot.bin file in firmware, if partition is zero-size? (as is the case in thread mentioned above). Can it be flashed in kernel-partition? Or in SBL, as per recommendations from this guide? Did partitioning scheme change sometime between GB and JB? How does (mobile) odin handle this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonGut:
Is it correct, that you use sammobile firmware with mobileOdin?

I just tried opening sammobile-XWLSE with it. According to mobileOdin manual, when opening a file it finds all partitions inside it, and puts the filename next to partition names. However, I see it only finding "System" partition. "Kernel" says "None". How does it look on your device?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonGut:
Screwed it up...

Finally I got courage to flash anything. Used MobileOdin, firmware from sammobile (from which only factoryfs got loaded), and PhilZ kernel.

Program reported success, but devise didn't want to start afterwards. It showed "Samsung Galaxy GT-I9100" with yellow triangle, then short pause, same again. Then PhilZ recovery menu. Reboot, shutdiwn and start again ended up in recovery each time.

I had CWM-backup from original system. Tried to restore factoryfs from this one. Seemingly succeed, but nothing starts anyways. Now not even recovery. Still available via button combination though, as well as download mode.

It would be really great if somebody can give a hint how to get this thing into working state again...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
If you can get into recovery, and ur not on 4.0.4, do a factory reset and wipe cache partition.

If you can only get into Download mode, flash a stock firmware via Odin. :)

"To err is human, to forgive is divine"

Sent from my SGS II
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonGut:
What I actually did was to completely restore from CWM backup. Apparently first time i only restored system partition, and it wasn't enough. Complete restore returned my old system. I'm glad it worked.

As for your suggestion with Odin: like I say, I don't have access to windows. On the other hand "to flash the stock firmware" is what I'm trying to do from the very beginning, and can't manage so far.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonGut:
Okay, finally got it up and running.

The major problem was that my archive-decompresser got only part of .tar.md5 out of sammobile-zip. No idea why. As a result I saw only some of the actual firmware contents, not all of them. So disregard my questions about "why is there no kernel inside". It's all there.

I don't understand, how those .tar.md5 passed checksum-check in mobileOdin.

After I got that sorted there were some others, but everything worked fine after some tries. For one, I could not use mobile Odin anymore, and heimdall-frontend gave errors. Console version worked fine.

Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
No wonder the kernel went missing! :D

Thanks for sharing mate! Happy you got it sorted out!

Please add [SOLVED] to the title of ur post. :)

Got my HTC One yesterday and wow i thought this is one good looking phone, fired up quadrant and saw the score rocket up to 12500 whilst my s3 was just finishing the test with a score of 6300, all is well, camera is great, UI is a little bland rows and columns are a bit too big for my liking but i thought i'd hang in there, then the back button breaks, literally would take no input at all (this is on a phone about half an hour old) so swapped it for another brand new one and the back button is working again.

Next day (today) i installed real racing 3 and six axis app (after rooting of course) and went to set up the pad for a game, HTC has messed up with the bluetooth drivers again, no six axis.

Real racing 3 runs on very high settings perfectly, however there is one problem, the phone gets so hot i actually felt uncomfortable holding it, it was so hot i couldn't continue playing any more. I had noticed that it was a little hot when simply browsing but gaming just sent it into boil mode.

On a contract for £46 a month and for two years, these issues will make me hate this phone, so tomorrow morning i will be getting this cancelled and never going back to HTC again, unless they sort these issues in the future (something i highly doubt)

I'd missed HTC after being with Sammy for the last year but i'd forgotten about the silly things that HTC does like the bluetooth drivers and how could i forget them removing the code for the CRT effect?

Won't be getting the S4 either as it's probably only going to be the quad with the adreno gpu, which is why i went for the HTC in the first place.

Sad times.

Think i'll be giving my S3 another whirl and sticking with it until something actually groundbreaking surfaces.

I know to some that these issues might not be that bad but for me it's too much of a pain to live with.
[One (M7) General] shiningarmor:
first : do you have scientific proof that the six axis is not working, or the app is not optimized to work with the six axis?

second : real racing is a high demand game, it's only natural for the phone to heat up. try playing on the nexus 10, u have a chest warmer for winter

third : so crt effect is a deal breaker for you? then it's your problem. go back to samsung, dont buy htc. end of story

keywords : VERY HIGH SETTINGS.

and your skin is probably baby skin, browsing is WARM, not HOT. there's a difference between WARM and HOT. and u mentioned hot to the point u cant hold it anymore? samsung fanboy exaggeration
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
good thing the most intensive games i play are GBA emulators and Candy Crush Saga, I'll love this phone.
[One (M7) General] Acetherockr:
Hmmm..

The overheating issue is good to know about. That has to be my pet peeve with any handheld device. Either way, I never judge a phone by it's stock firmware. I would flash a nightly build and see how the phone handles it, overall I think we can all agree that the hardware is fantastic. HTC's software isn't mandatory. :p
[One (M7) General] shiningarmor:
exactly, nobody, else 15% of the community plays super high demand games on their phones. phones are just for everyday convenience ; browsing, small time entertainment, calls, sms, etc. those high end games are designed for tablets.

tell me which is better off, playing crysis 3 on your phone at work or playing it at home after work?

some people just dont get it
[One (M7) General] dlads:
Wow u are an arse aren't you!

First of all, i don't need scientific proof that the six axis app doesn't work, it is to do with the bluetooth HID protocol that HTC favours, it has always been this way with phones with HTC sense, probably always will.

Secondly, I am fully aware that Real racing 3 is a high demand game, partly the reason me playing it on a high performance device, the phone should not get that hot, i have an s3 which runs the game just as well, even the One X runs it well without getting as hot as this one did, i know whats acceptable and whats not.

And lastly, i didn't say that not having CRT is a deal breaker alone, i said that it's one of the many things that HTC has done that has caused me to send this lump of crap back to the shop and get my contract cancelled.

I didn't come on here to argue with anyone, i don't even know you and your comment is just rude, don't blindly defend the HTC one you probably bought because you're attempting to justify the price you paid for it, it's making you looks like a ****.

For me these are issues i can't be dealing with and i put this up here so that anyone thinking of getting this phone is aware of the problems that i had and can take them into consideration.
[One (M7) General] dlads:
Plus i'm not a fan boy either, check my history and you'll see that i've been with HTC since the beginning of their android reign, and i don't have baby soft hands either lol, what are you on? I've been a roofer before and worked in construction for a long time, tell me anyone who's hands are baby soft when they've been lumping slates up onto a roof for a few years.

I've paid for high end games because i wanted to, i bought the phone because it's capable of running any of them. My choice, not my fault the phone can't chill out.
[One (M7) General] shiningarmor:
based on my observation, you are the only one who complains the phone gets too hot to hold, others are saying slightly warm. to strengthen your point, care to post some battery temperatures so that we may deem whether it is too hot or normal? not that it's a burden since you are rooted
[One (M7) General] dlads:
Mod u can close this thread if you like, apparently my opinion which is based upon one days usage isn't something that people want to hear? Perhaps a few days with the phone themselves will open their shut eyes.

I never wanted to cause a flame war here, just wanted to help someone dodge a bullet that i took previously.
[One (M7) General] jotha:
closed on OP's request.

Additionally having one for myself I can also NOT acknowledge the heat-claims the OP makes here.

I don't know. Try changing the sdcard cache size? And did u copy using sdcard mounter or mtp mode? Try using sdcard mounter.

In general, writing will always be slower than reading. And it depends on the file(s) you're copying too. Many small files will take longer time to write than one big file, even though the size is equal.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PanSernik:
30 MB/s reading and 1 MB/s writing is a little bit difference. Don't you think?

I know that. Transfer is slow even when I'm copying one big file.

In MTP mode 1,7 GB copied in about 3 minutes, which is about 9,5 MB/s. Thank you.

The situation : I am unlocked with Clean Rom installed. I cannot get in recovery or fastboot but the tablet will boot to CleanRom

What I am thinking about doing is installing the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T Firmware: V10.4.4.25 (for US SKU version only). It is my impression that the Firmware will reinstall the bootloader etc. Then reloading CleanRom.

Will this work?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
How would you install the firmware without recovery?

What happens when you try to get to the bootloader menu? (turn off, hold volume-down while switching on)
[Asus Transformer TF700] RLGL:
Does that not install from the PC?

I can get to the menu, make a selection then is just hangs and doesn't load anything else.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
What do you select? RCK, Android, or USB? Caution: Don't select "wipe data" under any circumstances until your recovery is known to be good or you will hard brick your tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RLGL:
Finally I am back where I was yesterday. I can now boot to recovery fastboot works BUT sideload does not work with either TWRP or CWM (device not seen) . I have Super SU installed Should I switch to Super user?

Any other ideas?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Looks like a problem with your PC/driver setup. SuperSU/Superuser has no effect in the recovery.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RLGL:
so what is the missing link? The device when booted is seen by the PC ADB devices returns the S/N. My SDK is updated.

Sideload works with my DNA but with the tablet The return is "error device not found"
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Which version of TWRP is installed?

Does "adb devices" work while the tablet is in recovery?

What does "lsusb" say (if you are using Linux) or Windows Device Manager? It may be that the recovery is using a different USB device ID than Android.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RLGL:
Which version of TWRP is installed?

2.4.3.0

Does "adb devices" work while the tablet is in recovery?

No

What does "lsusb" say (if you are using Linux) or Windows Device Manager? It may be that the recovery is using a different USB device ID than Android.

Asus Android Composite ADB Interface
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I don't know much about the Windows USB drivers and how they decide which devices to drive - other than that it doesn't work for everyone. Is this the same device displayed as when you are running real Android? Also compare the detailed properties of the device when running recovery and Android.

Alternatively, try booting a live linux environment, obtain the adb binary from somewhere, and try it under Linux.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RLGL:
I don't do linux. I will try a different recovery version from TWRP. When the device is connected while in recovery the computer makes a different sound for connecting, as if there is something wrong with the recovery usb identifier
[Asus Transformer TF700] RLGL:
I am down to a driver issue. Other than the driver that comes in the Asus sync software what else is there. My SDK is up to date.
