I hard resetted the device and now there is no extended rom!

Is it okay?

BTW should i upgrade to 1.72 t-mobile?

Thanks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] cruisin-thru:
Have you tried to unlock the rom again, some version are invisible unless unlocked.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] edsub:
IF you forgot to lock the Extended ROM before hard-reset, contents is lost!

Always lock the Extended ROM after having worked on it.

I would advise upgrade. With my (dutch) T-Mobile version 1.72.901 (search to find) for instance

If you want another sense version, then you should flash another ROM with a different sense version.

You should add a couple more "......" then maybe we can guess what you did to make it bit work. Mine boots every time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
You got to give us the full download of what you did in full blown details in order for us to begin to help.

Right now the only thing I can say is what you flashed into your GN2 or forgot to do is most likely the cause. Make sure that you flashed the correct recovery for the rom that you are flashing. Make sure that you flashed the correct rom/s for your device's model. Did you have enough battery juice before flashing?

From there the others may be able help you from point.

But more information you give us the better chances of getting answers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
I'm confused by your answer, there's no correct recovery for a ROM, if the battery died it wouldn't show anything.

I can almost guarantee he didn't factory reset and that's why it won't boot, but you are right that without a single detail it's just a guess.

I think this is another one if those pointless complaining posts though. Not him asking for help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HazyJMac:
Hey Gang. Have an SII with some touchscreen issues. After powering up without the charger, the touch responds normally for approximately 5 seconds, then the touch registers about an inch and a half above where your finger is actually placed. I can lock the screen and again, for about 5 seconds the touch responds normally again..... then the jump. When turned to landscape mode, touching the right hand side, which is lower quadrant in portrait, responds to the left.. Locking and unlocking solves this for about 5 seconds as well. Now if I'm charging, the touch remains normal and good.... Also, when I boot into recovery{TWRP}, the touch is fine... wether I'm charging or not...

Any input welcome and greatly appreciated.... I've tried flashing to stock via ODIN, a few different roms with TWRP, both ICS and JB.. The problem remains... d

Hello guys, need your help.

My wife was updating her LT281t to LT28at_6.1.C.1.111 via Sony Companion, when she came to the 5th step, "Press and hold volume down while connecting USB cable" she did but couldn't get into flashmode, unplugged the cable to try again and nothing happened. Now the phone wont bootup, she is crying cause of her phone.

Is there a way to make it boot up???

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nestorian:
You should be able to continue the install from sony companion by following the step. i had to unplug mine twice before i could get it to work. that also assumes the device isnt bricked by this issue. and if it is im not sure how to fix this issue might i suggest looking here:

Yea read that thread linked and you should be able to get it going again. The key is patience though. If you rush the steps you will start all over again. I had to charge mine for almost 36 hours before I got it back running again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rupalazzi:
Thanks all

Thank you all for your comments. I had read the thread linked. At the end I could recover the phone. Had to let it charge for about 4 or 5 hours, then I could do a soft reboot and it did boot againg.

For now my wife is quite happy and forgot about upgrading at least till JB comes out.

Again. Thanks for your support.

Howdies all!

So I'm a total newbie to Android (my first smartphone, in fact) and have only ever had to deal with an iTouch; as such I'm having a few problems trying to root my HOX+, though they're mostly due to indecision.

I was wondering if it would be possible to root my stock ROM and keep that ROM installed, and still be able to use my phone normally (with the bootloader unlocked I'm stuck in Airplane Mode, and with it relocked I get stuck in a bootloop)?

I've been able to back up my original ROM - version 1.17.206.1 (O2 UK), and I have SuperSU installed. Would the correct course of action here be to simply relock the bootloader and flash the ROM, or is it not possible to keep the stock ROM on a rooted phone? If I've got the steps wrong, could someone please notify me of the correct procedure, if it is at all possible?

Though before I'm asked - I'm sticking with the stock ROM as it's what I'm currently comfortable with - the custom ROMs I've looked at feel a bit too buggy for me (being new to this and all).

I will also upload my stock ROM backup to a file share site if anybody requires it (I've seen a few threads asking, though I'm unsure if those issues were ever resolved).

Thanks for your time. :)

EDIT: I feel I may have put this thread in the wrong forum, my apologies if this is the case.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jsmith8858:
Maybe I am weird, but I really like the menu overflow icon (that appears on devices without a menu button) even when a physical menu button is available (i.e, even on the GS4). Using CM in the past, there was an option in settings to enable this and I typically did and it worked great.

From my research, it appears that for Android >4.0 in general we can alter the build.prop file to tell the system to show the overflow menu item by setting:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

I tried this on my GS4 (running a rooted Stock ROM, latest OTA update) and it worked! Except .. SystemUI kept crashing, over and over. As far as I can tell, everything else was fine, but with SystemUI not functioning (no system bar displayed at all) and FC messages constantly showing every few seconds, it was hard to check into things much so I reverted back.

So, my question is: Does anyone know (or know how to found out) why this mod would crash SystemUI? And, is there any way to alter SystemUI so that this mod would not cause it to crash and therefore allow us to enable the menu overflow?

I know that the GS4's stock firmware is most likely hard-coded to never show the menu overflow, and that could certainly simply be the issue, but I am curious if there is a quick and easy fix for the SystemUI issue for this or if anyone else has tried this. And, of course, most likely all of the stock TW apps are hard-coded to never show the menu icon as well. Nevertheless, I am curious if this is possible on a rooted Stock ROM.

Thanks!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noobtoob:
Very interesting. Seems like there is some nastiness going around with jellybean and our phones. The emmc bug was initially ICS, don't know if it carried over, but due to the high number of phones crashing, there must be some form of corruption going on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tanminivan:
Agreed. The fact that it happens unprovoked is particularly worrisome.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noobtoob:
This is the exact type issue I tried moving and helping the other day. I an now at quite a loss. We could have you just try and Odin flash a kernel. Yes, you would just use the PDA button to select your .tar file. Put a ROM in your SD card, and clean/flash this way, but that proved unsuccessful least time as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tanminivan:
Thanks. I did find your post here on a similar thread and it was what made me post this... I wasn't sure if I could salvage it before getting to the point where I couldn't get into odin mode.

So you think flashing EL26 with CWM recovery would be my best option? I'm curious if when I tried to flash EL29 it didn't do anything since the previous flash had stalled... so maybe I avoided the scenario mentioned in your post above. From the log it still looks like it flashed recovery.bin though, so I don't know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noobtoob:
Well, at this point I don't know. I see this happening a lot now. I have been flashing exclusively through mobile Odin and roms that I had on my SD card except the other day when I tried the pit and tar files from that post. Seems more and more people are running into bricking all of a sudden a lot right now. I think sprint or Samsung need to get involved and do some phone replacement. I would take a poll and see how many people have bricked using just a stock ROM. It could have something to do with the hardware version of something in your phones. I am not anywhere smart enough to figure that stuff out, I can just offer advice and test things I know (or knew) to be safe ATM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigj231:
Are you able to flash a one-click ICS or GB ROM? Specifically FL24. My phone didn't like GB27 either (thankfully no bricking). I was able to flash EL26 with CWM by using the one-click twice. The first flash never seemed to work the first time, even though it said it was successful. Flashed several AOSP ROMs from there without issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tanminivan:
Flashing with one-click twice? Wouldn't that be a double-click? ;)

I've tried using Odin non-one-click to flash EL26 w/ CWM but Odin just stalls at "NAND Write Start." But interestingly, it is incrementing the flash counter and "current binary" now reads "custom" where before it read "Samsung Official." So at least it's doing something. Time to search on how to get past these stalled flashes... from this thread it doesn't look particularly promising...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tanminivan:
Just to provide an update to anyone who comes across this thread and has the same issue. I tried pretty much everything I could think of. I tried flashing all of the odin one-clicks I could get a hold of (GB/ICS/JB). I tried flashing tars. I tried flashing just kernels (GB/ICS/JB). I tried all kinds of recovery kernels, EL26 CWM etc. Of course I used all different versions of odin, different computers, different cables, different USB ports, etc.

I read the repartitioning thread (well at least quite a bit before people started asking the same questions over and over again). I downloaded the 92 different PIT files for the E4GT and tried flashing all of the different kinds of pit files... ones that moved the system partition, ones that moved data, ones that moved factoryFS, ones that shrank the UMS partition. Of each of those I tried different shift amounts...1GB, 3GB, 8GB, etc. I tried flashing with "repartition" unchecked (not sure what it really would do but it was suggested somewhere so I tried it).

Nothing worked. It'd always stall trying to write to the device. For flashing PIT files odin would start with "SET PARTITION" and just hang for over an hour and never progress. Still very strange that I could get into odin and usually on each attempted flash it would increase the flash counter. And strange as well that I was running rooted stock and this seemed to happen on its own.

The best I can figure is I'm really unlucky and have some bad blocks in memory at just the wrong spot to prevent the flashing process from completing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Thanks for the update tan. Someone else has this very same issue. Looks like as of now there's no solution. That really sucks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wraith404:
I woke up this morning with the same issue. My phone was fine when I put it on the charger last night. This morning it was off, when I turned it on just samsung logo boot loop. I could not boot to recovery. I've tried to Odin a new recovery and a once-click full ROM. Odin stalls at recovery.bin either way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tanminivan:
Sorry to hear you have the same issue. You may read up on repartitioning and try that---you might have better luck than I did.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wraith404:
I couldn't perform any of the standard repartitioning methods because recovery was not accessible (couldn't run the bad sector scan), nor was Odin working with any sort of TAR. I also reviewed the various PIT files, but based on your review of the same 100 odd files I was reviewing and finding that none of them seemed to relocate recovery addresses (we are stalling on recovery not sys or user), I threw in the towel and took it into a local Sprint repair store. The tech confirmed the issue, he was unable to factory flash it at all. His diagnosis was "something is seriously corrupted", but was very nice about it. He didn't even mention my dozen or so flash count showing in odin mode from my recovery attempts. Oh, and I told him flat out that I had tried to recover it via odin. I had the Insurion coverage, (drop/break/wet), not full TEP, but they were still able to order a replacement for $53. If you have TEP it might be a no charge replacement. He also noted aside that hes seen this a couple other times lately, not to read to much into that but it may be that the lemon memory modules Samsung pawned off on this device might be starting to just up and die instead of waiting to be overwritten wrong. I only say that because I haven't flashed a thing in months by Odin or recovery, and when mine died it was (or should have been) sleeping.

Thanks for the posts, they saved me the frustration of further investigating the PIT files, and got me into the repair shop quickly. I have a 5 day wait for the replacement, and my pregnant wife is due any time. I can't afford to be without a phone for long. I could have procrastinated for days without finding this research.

I'm up for upgrade in just like 2 weeks now, and this has me wondering if I should even chance another Samsung product. The HTC One is looking better and better, even though I'm not sure I can part with having an SD card and replaceable battery. Time to start looking around to see if the SG3 and Note2 have had all these EMMC issues. I want the SG4 but not if this is a running problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Note 2 doesnt.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tanminivan:
Thank you, not a problem. Congrats on your upcoming baby!

Unfortunately I'm with Ting, so not am I only out of warranty and official repair options, but the full $500 unsubsidized cost of the phone as well. I'm optimistic, however. I purchased a Sprint SGS2 with a broken screen on ebay for around $50 and swapped the motherboard. Unfortunately it turns out the ESN had been flashed to another carrier so I'm trying to figure out how to flash it back...

I have the same feelings on whether my next phone will be a Samsung device as well. I guess time will tell how good the S4 is.
