[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JahJahLoO:
Is this true? Through a recommendation (haven't done anything to my phone from rooting/flashing KANGSJUGGERNAUT2 years ago), I tried to flash CM10 and ended up with a bootloop myself. Tried flashing through ODIN but it kept crashing; does anyone know why?

Afterward, I tried to reflash it through CWM and from then on bootloops into a installation process that never completes.

For some reason my CWM turned super slow, freezes/hangs and reboots after a few minutes.

I gave the phone to a friend who does this stuff on the regular but he said my initial flash wasn't complete cause in download mode says I'm still running official? No clue.

I was told this via email/chat: "No luck, it won't even boot anymore, I think I'll just bring it back tmrw morn

10:43 PM

Sorry I'm at a wedding (yea I know random) I left my phone with coat check

OK I've narrowed down the reason but not the solution, you had an AOKP based ROM which fundamentally is based on CyanogenMod, but it wasn't correctly flashed as the phone still thought it has factory ROMs still running

11:10 PM

Clockworkmod(even though it was working before) wasn't accessing the partitions of the phone correctly so it wasn't properly wiping or flashing properly.

11:12 PM

So basically from the first time you flashed cwm it didn't flash properly then the next time you flashed using the new recovery it didn't flash anything it was supposed to do itself properly , so basically it was a chain of events in addition to a bad boot loader, that's why it never went to recovery or download mode correctly

11:13 PM

That's something that had to do with the way the phone was built meaning you may of had a bad bootloader from the very begin and are now feeling the synptoms

Basically, and I would hate to be the reason or partially the reason you have a dead phone, basically it was a matter of coincedencr that it happened as this could of happened at anytime, once you have a bad boot loader its pretty much down hill from there"

Any helpful insight as how I can rectify this? is my phone truly dead? Sorry about the quoted format, it was copied and pasted.

If I were in your boat, I'd use Odin and flash the stock 4.1.2 ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JahJahLoO:
The phone won't turn on, unable to go into recovery and download mode; plugged in usb (hear connection beep but pressing power button plays disconnect button) to no avail. What can I do to unbrick?

Stock 4.1.2? Possible over a hardbricked T989 with old 2.3.6?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sam.balia1012:
sorry but i have to assume that you are not doing the 3 button recovery or download mode right.

Pull battery, put battery back in, hold power button & Vol +/- untill you see SAMSUNG on the screen ---> let go off power button(keep holding

Vol +/- button) .....u will see recovery. (assuming you did flash cwm before).

Let me know.

hit thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JahJahLoO:
I believe I am doing it correct, I have been entering recovery and download mode many times, right before I soft bricked it.

And sorry, no, I've tried many times, many methods and my phone is confirmed as entirely hard bricked.

SUPAR SAD, but thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sam.balia1012:
dont give up

you can try using adb and put the phone in dl mode.

sometimes its as easy as pull battery and wait awhile (20 min or more) and try again.

if you've exhausted all possibilities, you can use a jig to force a dl mode.

let me know
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JahJahLoO:
I don't know what adb is, or how to use it; I have, however seen my friend RDP to my desktop and do something and used the term 'adb' in his attempt to code through the phone.

I've done that battery waiting period, for nearly an hour and still no result.

After doing some researching, I have found that many people have stated a USB JIG would not be applicable to a 'hard bricked' phone. I really wanted to try as it looked like the most, simple and inexpensive solution.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sam.balia1012:
If you know for a fact that you bricked your s2, maybe wrong rom or kernel that u flashed by accident then.....

contact these guys.... http://brickedmyphone.com/contact-me/

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vinodh3:
I have used TurboRom when i was watching a video my mobile screen faded out and goes black after that no response. I pressed vol + up key after 3 vibrations i turned on phone again. It was booted up and worked fine but when i try to play video or game again the screen faded out and goes black with no response. I have flashed the stock firmware .55 using flash tool. Still the problem persists. I have flashed the stock firmware nearly 5 times and reseted the phone to factory settings and erased all internal storage. Then again it booted up i was able to work on the mobile for sometime and again it went to black screen. Now when i hardreset and turning on phone everytime. For some time i can manage to work for few minutes but now when i hardreset and turning on phone after xperia logo no home screen just a black screen. I fear it will be a hardware issue. Does anyone faced this issue before, Any solutions? :crying::crying::crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cities516:
I'm afraid it may be hardware problem.

Anyway if you have locked bootloader repair it via Update Service.

Use Emma if you have unlocked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vaith:
You are saying the same for every people which have different problems. If you want help like that better if you stop "helping".

Do you have warranty? If you unlocked your phone you don't have it. You should send email to Sony or go to Sony Xperia Chat Support and explain there your problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vinodh3:
I have locked bootloader but i don't have warranty anymore. I am going to give my mobile to sony service center. Hope they won't ask a lot of bucks where i can buy a new mobile for that instead. I am really sad that sony has manufacturing a crap mobile with attractive design. I would have bought samsung or motorola:crying:

I found this item on ebay, it claims to work on all pda's with infrared. Instead of paying out for an expensive keyboard that probably wont work with the xda this has to be a good thing. It enables you to use a standard ps2 keyboard with your pda. I know a big keyboard isnt very portable but for use at home or in the office it isnt a problem. Here is the link.

Hi, XDA Users.

Device : R800i

ROM : Atomic GB 7.0

Kernel : LuPuS GB v6.0

I flashed Rom with LuPuS GB v6.0

Because there are some errors on LuPuS GB v7.0

All is great.

Tolerable errors and bugs were fixed.

But ONLY ONE.

ROOT???

There was SuperSU.

But it doesn't updated binary.

So I updated in PlayStore?

I couldn't launch the app, SuperSU.

How I root it?

Should I install SuperSU.zip in CWM recovery?

I don't know what I should do.

Thanks for reading my question.:o
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
Well you can try a prerooted kernel like doom kernel or lupus and see if it roots the system
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
You cant root 2..3.4 rom. You must use a custom kernel that is prerooted.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romeo_charly:
I had the same problem when flashed atomic or nxt2jellybean and for fix it i removed superSU with root explorer then rebooted whiped cache and dalvik, downloaded SuperUser from play store, updated binaries and all wirked fine. I don't know why but IMO superSU is not so stable.... Both roms are prerooted but superSU don't do the job, just replace it with superuser. :D :good:

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

Sorry, my bad... First install superuser update binaries and the do the other stuffs!! :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsianFoodRules:
I had this problem before, I know how to fix it.

Simply download the superuser app from google play, the SuperSu app is stuffed

Then you give access to SuperSU (if you want to) and you got root.

[Sony Tablet S] jappaj:
Added xtskit.zip to this post which contains various scripts which can be used to debug various situations! Please use always latest version from this post and AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Decided to start new thread if anybody would still get any adeas for debricking my Xperia Tablet S before I call it unpossible... So, what has happened:

- Tried to upgrade my FI XTS from rooted 6b to rooted JB. Flashing apparently went fine but after reboot I got just Sony logo. Was able to boot to recovery and tried to recover by flashing firmware version 6, but got this error:

Installing update...

Write images to system0...

Write files to vendor0...

Random offset: 0x384

read_mod_link: failed to readlink "/system1/vendor": No such file or directory

E:Error in /tmp/desklunvr/desklunvr.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

Don't know what went wrong when flashing, but my analysis of current state:

* /blflags is set to 1 (because recovery starts to flash system0).

* /system0 contains valid image of that firmware what I use to recover (since it was flashed properly)

* /datapp/vendor0 contains correct data from the same firmware (since files were written properly)

* /system1 is totally corrupted

* /datapp/vendor1 state is unknown

* /staging state is unknown but propably contains valid data from SOME firmware because recovery works, right?

Because of that /system1 corrupted state, recovering won't work as Sonys updater-script will try to read it before flashing /staging.

No, why my XTS does not boot? For me, it seems that /staging contains valid image (because I can get to recovery), doesn't it then contain also valid kernel for system0, right? Does my XTS not boot because:

* /blflags is set to 1. System tries to boot from /system1 and FAILS since it's corrupted. However bootloader does not recognize this and wont flip blfalgs.

OT

* /staging is corrupted

In both cases, I could boot if I could just flip /blflags flag! In first case system would boot using /system0 and everything ok if /staging would have the right kernel for /system0 and since I can flash /system0 no problem. Also if flag would be flipped I could flash /system1 afterwards.

Now, any ideas? How to flip /blflags? I've been trying to poweroff in the middle of booting process but no luck. It just seems bootloader won't flip it no matter what.

Thanks!

[Sony Tablet S] jappaj:
Could somebody confirm, that does hidden.img contain recovery and kernel? Further, could somebody with JB go to recovery and paste the version? I am trying to trace what version my /staging (hidden.img) is, JB or 6b.

My recovery says:

System utility(Rev.39, BL: 0x00000006, EC: 0.21, master)

I think it said the same when I was on 6b so unless JB has the same recovery, my /staging is probably from 6b.

Thanks!

Edit: And please, if anybody have european r6b firmware signed-txs03_300-ota-121116002.zip please share with me! I think my current hidden.img is from that firmware, just perhaps if I flash it, I could recover if the reason I cannot boot is that r6b bootloader won't allow loding r6 or JB system... Heh, I just tried, I can download r6b firmware for EVERY OTHER region but for my own region. Probably download link I got was wrong, but what would be the right link?
[Sony Tablet S] jappaj:
One kind soul replied and it seems JB's recovery is Rev.44. So my recovery/bootloader/kernel is from r6b and that's why my JB did not boot. I flashed hidden.img but for some reason it did not work (or I mistyped since I was a bit sleepy when upgrading).

I could try flashing r6b system0 and it could work, but Sony has removed it from their site. Please, anybody, do you have signed-txs03_300-ota-121116002.zip ??? I have r6, but it does not boot.
[Sony Tablet S] jappaj:
Just out of curiosity, when I poweron my tablet, kernel probably boots OK since my computer can see SGPT12 device after a while. However, adb does not work as expected so that wont help at all.
[Sony Tablet S] hui666:
I have exactly the same problem.

What do you modify on the android_winusb.inf to install drivers?

Thanks
[Sony Tablet S] jappaj:
You mean you bricked your XTS like me while trying to flash JB? The we should warn people, it's something related to region, config or something like that.

About your question; edit android_winusb.inf and find rows like this:

;SONY Sony Tablet S

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_054C&PID_05B4&MI_01

Then add row like this just after that:

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_054C&PID_05B4

So it becomes:

;SONY Sony Tablet S

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_054C&PID_05B4&MI_01

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_054C&PID_05B4

There two places where you will find rows likje this, onw for x85 and one for amd64.

After this, boot to recovery and wait that you can see your XTS in device manager. It should shay that there are no drivers etc. Click update driver and browse manuaklly files and find directory which contains that modified file. Install and it should work.

But Sony has locked us out of the shell and effectively nothing can be done to fix anything (thanks sony, lock bootloader, f**k recovery scripts, f**k automatic swtiching between system images, lock recovery adb... what next, you need to be in jail to use next Xperia device?) unless somebody finds exploit. But then we could root also...
[Sony Tablet S] jappaj:
Wait, has anybody ever actually tried that would Xperia Tablet S accept upate.zip which is signed with test key just like you sign packages for Tablet S, but ALSO encrypted?

Because error message I get when trying to use such zip is something like cannot desklunvr package... So it is trying to decrypt package and as it is already decrypted, it fails. What happens if we encrypt it? It should be possible since we know how to decrypt!

Hi everyone, we are on the same boat. I've tried to flash using S.T.S.Flasher 3.0v the prerooted 4.1.1 rom on my root 4.0.3 R6B tab. My Xperia is US version. It seems that everything worked fine, but at the end I got black screen. On another post I read that a hard reset was needed. Nothing happened. After reboot i got freez on sony's logo. I've done with recovery a factory reset, wiping data etc, but without success.

Now I've downloaded a stock r5 version and flash it but i've seen after first boot that the fw that my dev. is running now is 4.1.1, without root and recovey. Strange but true. Why? i don't really know.

I think that i've done a big mistake flashing it but i think that it was the right thing to do for not using my tab as a coaster for the future.

Can you get to recovery? Try to flash firmware version 6 (not a not b) for your region from there. You are not bricked until you cannot flash from recovery like me...

flashing the stock jb from sony sight and losing root might be best if cant wait to hear back from condi......
