YOURE BORN AS A ORIGINAL,DONT DIE AS A COPY!!!!GREEEEETZ!!!
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] luqman98:
1+ XD

If i can, i will go to Broadcom/Samsung office and steal the source code :good:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Ma.Style10:
Samsung + Broadcom will not release easily. Who also have the sources is the Alcatel, where he was taken from the drivers for the CM7 (2.3.7). Try with them, and inform the model of where it was taken from the libs for CM7.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] ZhaoPH:
Yes you're right. I had read an article about Samsung and it says that next year, they will be focusing on low-end smartphones and tablets. Because of the immense popularity of high-end smartphones, they will take more time for low-end smartphones. So SGY users, do not lose hope. Maybe we can still receive an update from Samsung and Google by next year :)

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Souroking:
Again you are doing a mistake mate samsung says that they will be focusing on the low end devices in their list next year but our sgy is even beyond that list its not even low end.

||""Playing Asphalt™ 8 Airborne on my sgy. :p :p LoLz.

Joke of the year. Gameloft devs will die if they hear this. :p""||
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] MR4Y:
They will be focusing on low end smartphones = They will MAKE low end smartphones, not release updates to old phones.

No. Different chipset and different GPU as well.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] nhozbay:
Broadcom has not released a new driver?:confused:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Ma.Style10:
No, the driver of the CM7 was copied from a cell phone alcatel, with the Android 2.3.7, same version of CM7, but may not be used in roms android 4.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] nhozbay:
Maybe buy a new phone higher
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] ZhaoPH:
Yeah buy a higher phone! But Galaxy Y is one of the best Gingerbread Smartphone in the world so I will not sell or throw this ar the trash :D :cool:

Broadcom released new driver for samsung galaxy s2 plus without petition. I think mother samsung says to Broadcom: "don't release new driver for bcm21553, because (i don't know)"

It's possible that?

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Piyush Pastor:
Is there any othet way of getting those drivers may be samsung or some employees of Samsung or Broadcom or any other way???
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] luqman98:
The only way is to fork the drivers (source code) for S II Plus. We might skip ICS 4.0.4 based bulids.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] vlc07:
no way s2 plus have bcm28155 chip & ours bcm21553 right....

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] galmpan:
I was trying t update my Z ultra HK version to .510 firmware using flashboot method.I managed that , but the new firmware gave me constant reboots so i decided to go back to my last HK firmware. The flashing completed ok with flashboot , i did a repair with PC companion but when the phone booted again during NGC update ? (i think all seemed chinese to me ) the phone when off with no signs of life. It does not even charge.

Please Help , as i think i totally bricked my phone.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hoaianh2007:
do you unlock bootloader ? if yes you need relock

if you have inistall SuperSu you nedd Unroot then relock

update firmware
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] galmpan:
I haven't unlocked boot loader nor installed supersu.The problem is I cannot turn phone on so I cannot put it on update mode
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Bin4ry:
Download Sony UpdateService. It can repair your phonr. PCC needs phone to be on SEUS not. Normally you csnnot brick sony phone!

Regards

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] galmpan:
What exactly do you mean by SEUS not.?Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
it means that PC Companion (PCC) needs the phone to be on, while SonyEricsson Update Service (SEUS) does not need it to be on. ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] galmpan:
I followed the instructions the phone is not recognized by SEUS.

A red light is on for 3 secs or so , the its is recycling back on red and off.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
The fact that the red light shows up is a good sign at least.

Anyway, have you installed the proper drivers, and disabled firewall for the app?

When I used it for my wife's Z it worked, a bit slow, but it worked.

Did you keep the Vol-Down pressed while inserting the USB cable and until the program tells you to release it?

It's some sort of deep-communication that goes way before booting Android, so it has to work...

I repeat, my wife Z showed the led light and went off in like 2 seconds, then I followed the procedure on SEUS and it all worked (with patience, it has to download the whole FW).

EDIT: oh, theoretically you have to have at least 50% of battery, if it doesn't work again try to leave it charging for a couple of hours (even if it doesn't seem to be charging, you never know) and then retry... ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] galmpan:
I tried for at least 20 times with great patience but it never recognised the phone I followed your advice and i left the phone on the charger overnight.Today no red light completely dead.Maybe the damage is irreversible.

Thanks anyway
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Ok, i assume you installed the right drivers for your PC, since it is the first prerequisite.

I don't personally know how could you have bricked the device without doing something on the system, and even then, the SEUS is (almost) always capable of reviving a dead phone for those causes.

If I were you I'd go to the next Sony repair centre, but first I'd try on another computer, maybe on WinXp where rarely something goes wrong regarding drivers and such.

If you do have another computer, try a fresh install of drivers and SEUS, and try again.

Something tells me that red led shouldn't light up if the phone was completely dead...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Geoffxx:
your primary aim now is getting the battery fully charged - original mains charger is best, keep trying with a combination of volume down connect USB or volume up connect USB, it will eventually charge, also check the USB connector on the phone for possible damage - it has been known to happen if you try to force the plug the wrong way round

Once you have the phone fully charged then connect to PC running SUS and do an update repair

If USB is damaged then Sony repair center is next
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] galmpan:
When i put the charger in i am getting a blinking red light , i don't know if it is charging but i will leave it there for couple of hours and then i ll try again.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Geoffxx:
blinking red light is usually a hardware failure of some kind but I wouldn't rule out software either, the fact that it's doing something means it's getting power so USB is ok

I've got to ask this - did you have it in water recently ?

If all the water detectors under the flaps are white and you still cannot get it sorted then return it to Sony Service Center for repair

Leave it on Charge for a few hours and see if the light turns to solid red, I think you will sort it if you keep at it

As mentioned above SUS does not need the phone powered on but can be a bit hit and miss when connecting it when instructed to do so with the volume down button

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

From Sony support - the blinking red led might just be low battery indicator, anyway read below

If this happens to anyone one of you please check the following.

1. Press and hold down the power key on the right side of the phone. If the battery status LED flashes red, try plugging the charger into the phone at the same time as you are pressing and holding in the power key.

When plugging the charger into the phone there is a risk that nothing happens – no red battery status LED as indication of charging, or nothing appearing on the screen.

If the charging doesn’t start, follow the instructions under To let the charger be plugged in for 24 hours.

2. If the charging starts, keep charging the phone until it’s fully charged. Indication of charging is that the battery status LED lights up in red, or that the SONY symbol appears on the screen and then the LED lights up.

3. Update the phone software using PC Companion, Sony Bridge for Mac or Update service. If no update is available, use Repair mode in PC Companion.

This should fix the problem.

To let the charger be plugged in for 24 hours

1. Plug the charger into the phone, and let it be plugged in for 24 hours. There will be no indication of charging, since the battery is discharging during this step.

2. Disconnect the charger from the phone, and wait for 20 seconds.

3. Plug the charger into the phone again. The battery should now start charging. It may take some time before any indication of charging appears (the battery status LED lights up in red, and shines continuously).

4. Let the phone charge until it’s fully charged. Then follow the instruction to update the phone software in step 3 found in section above.

5. If the phone doesn’t charge, send it for service.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I don't think you're supposed to push power+up while connecting, instead I clearly remember keeping pushed the down button while inserting the cable...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] galmpan:
I understand that volume up + power is meant to reset the phone.

I am connecting the phone while keep the volume down button pressed.But instead of entering flashboot mode , the red light on my device lights on for three seconds , then is going off and the above circle starts

Which Windows are you using? Win8?

Inviato dal mio Nexus 7 con Tapatalk 2
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] galmpan:
Yes lam using windows 8 Please keep in mind that PCcompanion Sews and flashboot worked perfectly on this windows 8 machine until the latest upgrade bricked my machine. Please also keep in mind that I tried that on 2 different. PCs and on or Mac book Pro. Regards.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Bin4ry:
You definetly have a battery problem here. For some reason your battery is dead or maybe its misconnected and can only powerup with cable. But for flashing you need alittle battery.power ;)

Idk where you are living but try to take your phone to a official service/repair center. They should be able to help you AND if the phone does not power up nobody can check if unlocked already or not.

The flashing with Flashtool or SUS has to work ALWAYS since it is implemented in bootloader and normally the bootloader does not get touched while flashing roms and playing with partitions. Thats the reason Sony phones are called nearly unbrickable....

Hope you get it running somehow.

I'm having exactly the same problem...

Phone is stuck on SONY logo but doesn't proceed further. Left it overnight (plugged in) and suddenly it booted.

Now it's stuck again... I think it may b a ROM issue.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ruinkhan:
I have the exact same problem as this gentleman here. After numerous failed attempts I opened the back cover and removed the battery. Then plugged charging cable (with battery removed), nothing happened. Plugged the battery back, still nothing while charging. So I dont thinks its the battery issue.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Bin4ry:
try to charge the battery not the phone without battery :P You need to kick it off with atleast a litle juice, I have a external chinese charger for battery packs here, with this beauty i can kick of several dead batterys in no time and the phone always start working again.

So you already opened it, so give the battery a little charge if you can find a suitable charger somewhere.

Regards
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ruinkhan:
I will give it a try, but my biggest confusion is why would it not react to charger when the battery is out. I removed the battery and connected the charger, in theory phone should boot as its taking the charge directly from cable not from battery. That really threw me off.

EDIT: Will this charger work?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Bin4ry:
No you need a battery to boot. The phone first gets powered by battery, after the first boot processes had run it can switch to direct AC mode. It was different a few years back, but today it's very common this way.

I would go with such a charger where you can dynamically arrange the pogo pins to fit your battery size:

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/UBOC-Univers...Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item20da5d12a1&_uhb=1

EDIT: Now i see that the charger in your link has practically the same principle. So it should work wihtout problem. Power it with our original wallplug, this way you can assure it has enough juice!

Hope it REALLY is that same problem for you! There is always the slight chance of a real hardware defect :/

Regards
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ruinkhan:
Thanks pal, I will order now and will post results once I get charger delivered to me.

Little info on how i bricked it:

I flashed .290 ROM (in CWM) then flashed .290 kernel and baseband (using flashtool). After this, phone would not boot at all just a red blinking led.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:
my old ultras doing this. was fine a week ago. turned on today and kept rebooting before reaching home screen (saw sony logo, blue background). then on charging i'd get a slow blinking red LED. hold up or down while connecting to PC and i'd get red flash then a quick green flash on the LED. no more display on screen though.

detected in flash tool on connecting - even if not holding a vol button. just says connected/disconnected. same as sonys PC companion software. think it's screwed

Hey Guys ! Please Help Me !

My Phone Was Dropped And The Screen Got Cracked !

Then I Had A Replacement Of The Screen !

After The Screen Got Repair , There Is A Safe Mode Showing At Bottom Of The Screen !

Is There Any Way To Disable It ?

Please Help People !! Please..:(
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kenxda33:
1.Remove battery while device is on 2.Leave battery out for 1-2 minutes. (I usually do 2 minutes to be sure)

3.Place the battery back into the phone.

4.Push in the Power button to turn on

5.Let device power on without holding any buttons as normal Once the device is on the home screen, you should no longer see Safe mode. Hope this helps, good luck.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] malshafai:
I have the same problem, I got stuck in safe mode after replacing my cracked screen.

I did exactly what is suggested by 'kenxda33' above

and I did the following too:

1) Factory Reset from the settings menu.

2) Wipe Partition and Reset through recovery mode,

3) Upgraded the phone to Android 4.2.2 using Odin

4) Dissembled the phone and removed the volume buttons and switched it on.

and still I have the same problem,

Hi,

Did you find any solution for this problem...

Coz i am facind the same problem...
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] laurorual:
There is nothing we can do about it?

I'm having the same problem here and i've tried everything.

I've tried kenxda33 solution and it worked... until i rebooted my phone.

I've tried wipe all, reinstall my rom, install other rom (like CM 11).

Isn't there any softmod solution for this? Like, disable safe mode for real?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DMJoh:
Can anyone post a screenshot?

And possibly the only solution in SC. But you could try flashing with a stock untouched ROM.

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] laurorual:

I've tried to flash stock untouched through Odin and still with the problem :(
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DMJoh:
And coming tohe fact, i understand you are well aware of the device and android, so am not going to explanations. So to disable safe mode, usually, keeping the battery away for a minute or two will do the job. But i guess this is not the case you have.

Just Try, Turn the phone off.Turn it back on and hold the “up” volume button.if this dont work, try holding volume up and down simultaneously whilte switching on. This is used to enable safe mode.

If u are on JB when phone is on, press the power key and hold the Power Off button on the screen for a few seconds, and see something is happening.

Unfortunately, after switching to safe-mode, a restart should disable the safe mode.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] laurorual:
still in safe mode :(

i'm starting to think this problem came to me after i changed the screen (it was broken)

maybe it is some HW problem?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DMJoh:
A hardware problem may not cause phone to boot in to safe mode i think. If possible.. Carry it to a service centre.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Phoenix.Mobiplanet:
May be, it's happening because of a kind of short-circuit. Once, I also faced almost the same kind of issue. In my case, almost 2 years ago, my old smartphone (GT-S6802) was again and again going into Download Mode whenever I tried to power on the smartphone. Then I took it to the SC. And they discovered that the reason behind it was an electrical short-circuit. They worked on it, and my problem was resolved. Therefore, I'd like to suggest whoever facing such issues, to take their smartphone to the SC and your problem will surely be resolved.

Solution found at last

Solution is here

So don't worry guys anymore

It's not a big deal as some of you guys say

I had my touch replaced n had the same trouble

I simply switched it off n interchange both sims with each other (means put sim 1 into the slot of sim 2 n vice versa.)

It became OK

U can also try removing Sim 1 n letting the slot empty n using only sim2 in its slot

How to get out safe mode LG Optimus L9

I JUST got out of safe mode after looking and searching for several weeks. I went to TMobile Manage My Account and did backwards how they showed turning ON safe mode....1. turn off your phone. 2. turn your phone on THEN when the phone logo appears, immediately let go of power button and then hold down VOLUME UP button till screen comes on. Sheesh, I'm glad to be done with this!
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Rommel Espinosa:

Solution

In my case what I did was reflash the whole image using Odin 3.09 and then factory reset through recovery. I worked well.

Unfortunately, this method does not always work thus you need to replace the new Digitizer to confirm if it is an issue on the new digitizer that is not fully compatible with your gt-i9082l.

Some questions here...

I have just rooted my stock DMF2 rom and got efs backup. Then i flashed the latest perseus kernel.

I wanna flash the latest omega rom but i read somewhere that if i flash a non DMF2/ME6 based rom, i will get a imei error.

Is there anyway i can flash omega rom without getting an imei error?

Thanks for helping and sorry for my english.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thethiny:
well try it yourself since you have a backup.

Make sure that also have a backup of your Modem and Build, (found in settings under Baseband (modem) and Build Number).

because your EFS backup would work 100% if both of these were the same when you're restoring.

If things didn't go on well, then you can reflash the ROM.

in case the backup wouldn't work (works once then no signal on next restart), then what you have to do is as follows:

1-Flash the ROM that has the same build number as the one you had when you backed up your EFS

2-Restore your EFS and restart

3-Restart again, if there's no signal, then restore your EFS again and restart once.

4-Downgrade your Baseband to any version (I prefer DME4).

5-Perform an OTA update (OTA works if you had status normal and an IMEI and phone signal, so you need your EFS to be restored and the signal working, for the status normal you need 0 flash counts and Full Wipe of data through VolUp+Home+Power).

6-If you have ROOT, then don't touch Install or Install all! click on later.

7-Get Odin Mobile Pro (you need the Pro Version). and run it.

8-Click on "OTA/ update.zip". point it to "/Cache/Fota(might find random numbers here)/update.zip". In case you can't find the file, just use Root Explorer, and copy the update.zip to anywhere on the SdCard0 or extSdCard, and Point Odin to it.

9-Check the EveRoot Option and Odin Pro.

10-Flash the ROM.

now you'll have the same build number, but your baseband is now updated correctly. Just restore the EFS one more time and restart and it should work.

Note: If you may tell me your current baseband and buildnumber, I could save you time by giving you my files if I have the same as you.
