[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
So, you've been flashing stuff and now for whatever reason, your phone won't boot.

Now you're trying to save your poor phone's life with Odin but odin keeps failing.

Here are a few basic steps to go over to try and get Odin to cooperate:

First things First, if the device shows no signs of life whatsoever, you press the power button and it just sits there blank,

i am sorry to inform you, you are bricked and at a point beyond the help of odin. this will require JTAG to fix.

if you are in a bootloop or the phone freezes at some point of the boot sequence, this is what odin can fix.

if you do not have odin, get it HERE

here are the USB DRIVERS

i will not provide links to stock firmwares to use, those are ALL OVER the forum,

this is to help get those flashed not to completely hold your hand :)

only thing i'll add about which to use is:

DO NOT USE A PACKAGE CONTAINING BOOTLOADERS

IF ODIN FAILS DURING THE WRITING OF A BOOTLOADER THAT WILL BRICK THE DEVICE

STEPS:

Use USB ports connected to MOTHERBOARDno front panel ports, hubs etc...

Use a Known good usb data cable preferably OEM, you may want to have 1 or more spare just in case

right click odin and run as administrator

Have odin ready to go before you touch your phoneAll files in the proper place, now boot to DL mode and connect

If this is still Failing try:

Exiti Odin

Uninstall USB drivers

Reboot PC

Reinstall USB drivers

Switch usb port being used on pc

Rinse and Repeat until either it works or all ports exhausted

If after trying all motherboard ports odin is still cursing at you from Asgard, try one of those spare cables i mentioned earlier.

Sometimes PCs just don't wanna work, if you have the availability of another pc ANYWHERE (even the library or something) try these steps on that machine.

If its still failing on multiple pcs, clean out the usb port on the phone with Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol

then blowing it out with compressed air and let dry.

still nothing? you may have a hardware failure in the usb port on the phone.

Standard disclaimer: I AM NOT responsible for anything you've done or will do to your device.... this is merely a reference for you to use to get yourself out of a bind.

thank you, you're welcome, Good luck and happy flashing.

Phone stuck

Hi, I'm hoping maybe someone can help me figure out what the problem is.

I'm trying to flash CWM Recovery on GTI9105p. I've actually done this before on the same device, but this time it doesn't work. Odin seems to work fine and shows PASS! after 32 seconds, but my phone stays on "Downloading..." with the blue bar full. If I manually reboot the device and try to go to recovery, it stays on Samsung model logo. Otherwise I can boot the phone just fine. What could be the issue?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alrojas:
Hi, I recently bought an Atrix 2 MB865 (NON AT&T) and inmedietly update it via OTA to ICS 4.0.4 Version: 672.1.18.MB865.MERetail.en.06

It works but sometimes lags a little bit, so I want to know if it is posible to reinstall ICS.

Sorry for my english.

Thanks for everthing!.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ayush Jain:
Well instead of reinstalling ics, try a factory reset which would delete ur apps and everything excpet ur stuff stored in sd card. So be sure to backup what u need

Or u can root ur phone, install a recovery and flash a custom rom :)

go to custom rom or try flash jelly bean 4.1.2 leak # 1 its pretty stable..but now i used jb 4.2.2 from paranoidandroid..just go to develop forum...

Hi,

I want to flash my first phone but I have a hard time getting answers. My phone displays the kernel version differently than the guides tell. Now I understand I need XWLDS but with LS8 modem. Is this correct and is how can I find out if the version below has this?

04.03.2013 - PhilZ-cwm6 v4.87 with CWM 6.0.2.8 based recovery >>

XWLSD (fixed for bootloop)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
And u had to make another thread for that? :rolleyes:

Since u don't seem to trust my opinion, I shall explain how to select the correct Philz kernel.

1. Look up the build number of ur firmware in 'Settings - About Phone'. It will be something like XWLSD or XWLSN.

2. Look in Philz thread for the latest version that is the same as ur build version.

Simple!

P. S. The LS8 or whatever given in the Baseband version is ur modem's code. It has NO role in selecting the correct rooted kernel. :)

For Philz, look up Build version.

For CF Kernels, look up kernel version.

To see which modem u have, look up Baseband version. :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Just like Philz has many kernels, so does CF Root (look up the CF kernel thread).

However, you can use either CF or Philz to root, but NOT BOTH. :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I really was checking the whole internet to find the solution for this but I couldn't find it (I'm a begginer so that might be the problem).

Problem is this.

I have a Samsung I9000 with rooted Gingerbread (BOJV9). I have rooted it with the CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVZ-v4.3 KERNEL.

So now my phone has a Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVZ-CL762604 root@DELL145 #2.

And the next thing that I wanted was to install the Slim Bean 4.2.2. So I went to the CWM recovery and I have done the wipe of cache, dalvik cache and data/factory reset. everything went ok and fast. then I went to install the Slim Bean and started the install but just when it started, showed on the screen that it is instaling updates, phone just reseted, and Semaphore logo showed up, and was standing there for 10minutes. So I googled and saw that that was some kind of error. So I went CWM recovey and it had a new look because the version changed (from v3 to v6 I think) but I couldnt find data on my external SD card, as if it was deleted, but it was not, the data was there. Then I found this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494493 and was able to start the phone by flashing it with the original I9000 rom, and then installed the CWM again and then i returned my backup that I made of my phone. Then I started again to install Slim Bean again but this time I got an error at the wipe dalvik cache saying E:unknown volume for path. Now I dont know what could be the problem but please can you help me. Should I first install some other custom rom or should I put the rom files on to the I9000 memory or what. I am really confused

Also the same thing happend when I tried to install CM10. it starts the installation but it restarts after few seconds.

Files that I have used

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raziel992:
Hello,

I bought my Samsung gs2 just over a year ago. I had issues with the battary life all the time (It sometimes lost 20% in a few minutes without reason), but many other gs2 users have similar problems, so I just ignored it. 2 weeks ago, after I unplugged it, it suddenly lost 90% of the battery in an hour, and got extremly hot (the heat wasn't coming from the top of the phone where the cpu is, but from the middle of the it). I shut it down and removed the battery. When I switched it back on it had only 1% left. Now it is completely dead.

The Battery is working properly in my brothers phone, and I reproduced this with 2 other batteries. I suspect there is some kind of hardware damage. When I try to charge it, it displays an overheating alert (both switched on and off), and doesn't charge at all. Now the battery is so low, it doesn't display anything any more.

Unfortunately I installed a custum ROM (wanam lite), because I tried to solve the battery issues, so Samsung won't repair it.

Can anyone please help me keeping the phone alive long enough to flash the original firmware?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigeaky:
do you have any symptoms for a faulty usb port? as for flashing a stock rom just fully charge it (turned off) boot in download mode and fire away... or is it draining your battery in download mode too?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leetec999:
I have the same problem with my white S2 i9100T, sent back twice to repair, just got it back one week ago, finally the battery problem is gone! Last changed is the mainboard, first repair they swaped the battery and updated software(already latest firmware, what the hell they tried to update?).

My phone is just over a year old as well, it has battery problem since first day and only fixed now. As I know only the one made in Vietnam has this problem so yours made in Vietnam probably you will need to replace the mainboard. I am using a 2 yrs old black S2 made in Korea, exactly same model, very stable and never fail, that Vietnam one keep having unexpected behaver, another friend's Vietnam one is the same, recently another friend got one made in China, so fast so good.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raziel992:
Thanks for your replies. Unfortunately My phone seems to drain the battery even when switched off, and it isn't possible to charge it, no matter whether it is on or off. So my only option is to ask somone else to charge the battery, and then try flashing the original software. How long do you think flashing will take? Even if the battery is fully charged, I don't have power for more than half an hour.

Another question: Does anyone know if it is possible to reset the flash counter without booting the phone? I doubt that I will have enough time to install triangle away...

My old microSD is broken in a few places, it works, but it might be causing slowdowns and glitchy behavior. This card is Sandisk class 2, now i have two Transend cards 8G and 16G class 10 and Team 8G class 6, none of these 3 are recognized by the phone. I umount my current card though the settings menu, and when i insert a new card the phone gives no indication that it has noticed it. I plug the old card back in, notices and mounts as usual.

Any one else having similar problems? Is the phone not compatible with Transend (Team)? Is it a problem with class? Is the card reader broken in my phone? (can't be if it reads the old card)

update: i tested two more cards 4G class 4 Transend and 4G class 4 Verbatim. Transend is once again ignored, Verbatim mounted just fine. There must be some difference between Transend and Sandisk/Verbatim...

I tried searching for this answer before I posted this but I was not successful at finding it. So.....

Is there anything that cannot be updated by the ROMs? Are there items that can only be updated by taking the latest OTA update? I am trying to figure out if I need to take this latest update to get the latest firmware, kernel, etc.

I am OK with waiting for the ROM updates to come out if they will update everything, too. If they can't, I might as well get these OTA updates to see if they fix some of my problems.

Thanks for the help.
[HTC One X+] nugzo:
Yes there are a lot of files that cant be updated with roms. The only way to get all of the new firmware is to run the ruu. Turge has figured out how to flash radios now without flashing the ruu so thats good. But thats not everything. I'd wait to run the ruu until the devs change their rom base to the new update. Otherwise no custom rom yet. You can root the stock update after installing, just not many goodies atm.
[HTC One X+] badtlc:
Thank you very much for your help.

When you say the only way to get the new firmware is to run the new RUU, does that mean running the RUU from at&t or one of the modified RUUs posted on here?

If it is the At&t one, the only way to get it to fully update is by going back to the stock 1.15 ROM, correct?
[HTC One X+] ac3kill:

[HTC One X+] badtlc:
Correct, but I wasn't sure if you could update directly to that RUU from a custom ROM and get all the updates like hboot, firmware and radio. I was wondering if I needed to go from a custom ROM back to stock 1.15 and THEN do this 1.19 update to get everything updated properly.
[HTC One X+] Lucky Thirteen:
If you update your phone to the latest RUU, you won't be able to installed a custom ROM until the devs update their ROM. You update, you stay stock for a moment. You still can ROOT the stock ROM.

Not exactly. You can upgrade with a RUU if your actual version is equal or lower. You can't downgrade your version unless your phone is S-OFF.

To flash the RUU

Reboot in fastboot mode

type at the prompt >fastboot oem lock

Rebooting

Keep your phone in FASTBOOT USB mode

Run the RUU installer on your computer.

This will FULLY WIPE the phone.

Doing this method, one could use the latest 1.19 directly from HTC and get everything updated? No need to do this method, install the older 1.15, and then do the 1.19 RUU update?
[HTC One X+] joey-pagan:
You can do one of two things to get the full update. One is to go back to a 1.15 stock ROM, flash the stock recovery and run the OTA. The other is to run the latest RUU from HTC (the one from the link posted above) after you've flashed the stock recovery and re-locked the bootloader (otherwise the RUU might not proceed). Bare in mind that running the RUU will wipe your phone to factory settings.

I have already updated. I went from elegancia. I locked the bootloader, rebooted to fastboot, and then ran the 1.15 stock RUU. After that, I ran the 1.19 update I downloaded from HTC. I was just trying to figure out if I would have went straight from elegancia to 1.19 if everything including radio, kernel, etc. would have updated properly since elegancia was on the phone and not stock version 1.15.
