[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hurbraa:
Ok, I am in a bit of hurry but i wil ltry to explain my problem as good as I can.

So, I installed Jelly Blast ROM to my friend's 5830i (My mistake was that I forgot to backup), rom works great, but it can't read IMEI. Checked with Hex editor and the toolbox app and those can find the IMEI. I need to get a stock firmware or other rom which works with the IMEI, but there is no build number in the phone info which i need to tap to get dev settings to get usb debugging which i heard is required for ODIN flashes to work, (not sure, pelase correct me if im wrong).

Another chance would be to install another rom (and kernel, maybe) but I have no idea how to flash a kernel with CWM (at least one cm 7.2 rom told to do so) So I need help with that. I just need to get phone calls working and preferably get back to stock 2.3.6.

Thanks in advance! This is so complicated, and all wouldn't ahve happened if i took a backup with CWM before flashing jellyblast 3.03.

TL;DR I want to go back to stock rom from JellyBlast so i could call and send messages, but i acnnot get usb debugging, and have not found good roms/kernels and guides to flash them

EDIT: found this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1840645 are those tutorials good for this situation? which one of those should I use if i they are?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicasius:
Hello,

After rooting my phone I wanted to go to the recovery menu to delete all data on the phone.

So I shut down the phone and used the buttons to go the the recovery menu, when the screen appears it was there for 0,5 seconds and then I saw some text (Don't know what it was). I was not able to do anything so I decided to pull out the battery.

After waiting a while I wanted to turn the phone back on but it didn't do anything.

No led, no screen nothing, no communication with the computer.

Battery was 100% loaded.

How can this happend?

Is there something that I can do?

Thankss

Suggest you flash with Philz recovery from Android Original Development .

That fails then flash your stock rom via Odin and try again .

That I do something wrong or is the software corrupted?

Ultimately its samsungs fault for having faulty firmware on the emmc, but it certainly could have been partially your fault for taking a patched device and flashing it with an unpatched component. Without knowing exactly what you flashed/ recovery version etc its hard to say

Your bootload is locked? What is your last firmware version?

If you're on JB, offline flash may not work in S/W update mode. You need to turn on your phone, put it in LG software mode and select DIAG mode instead of EMERGENCY in flash tool.

If your phone cannot boot up, try this 2 options

1. Load lg mobile support tool from lg website and boot your phone to S/W update mode select recover phone then wait about an hour or two. (if this tool cannot recover your phone maybe it hardware problem)

or

2. Flash ICS x-loader / u-boot with Lelus fastboot at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2292828. After that try to flash your phone by offline method again in S/W update mode.

Your phone bootloader is lock or unlock? You said that you try to flash V20B to unlock bootloader so I assume that your bootloader is lock. If so you cannot flash recovery in fastboot. You need to use offline flash V20B/V20C kdz and try to unlock bootloader first.

If you flash ICS u-boot / x-loader successfully, you should able to offline flash kdz pass that error.

kdz filename should be in format V20B_00.kdz, all capital characters. You should download kdz file from LG server or thread in L9 general forum and make sure that it's md5 is matched.

For offline flash DIAG mode is used only when you can turn you phone on. EMERGENCY is used when your phone is in S/W update mode. After you flash ICS x-loader/uboot, your computer still cannot detect your phone in s/w update mode?

If all don't work, I recommend you to use LG mobile support tool to recover your phone.

This will require some practice if your screen is already wonky, so patience grasshopper...

OK, I followed a process and got my phone back to square one, but also rooted and it goes as follows:

Verify both LG SW Update mode is sellected in PC connections settings, and that USB debugging is also selected

1 flash V20D_00.kdz (via the Up TestEX mod2_marwin application)

2 master reset

3 re-root device (by this time, you should be familiar with the correct touch locations on the wonky touch screen); LgPWN.apk used

5 device successfully restarted without further human interaction (if this does not happen, device is not successfully rooted; possibly try another rom in the same V20 designation

5 install SU

6 confirm phone set to LG SW mode in PC Connections setting

7 run Lelus firmware fix:

8 wait for device to promt for SU access and allow

9 On the command line: (always run as administrator)

cat /sdcard/external_sd/v6.bin > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware

reboot

10 device restored to original stock

It's not bootloader unlocked yet, but better than near softbrick...and still rooted.

I'm having a hard time deciding what my next phone will be. I'm stuck between the Xperia Z1 and the Note 3. I really like how big the note 3 is but at the same time the camera and waterproofing in the xperia is very attractive. How are you guys coping with this decision?

Same here. I really wanted a waterproof phone. Maybe they will have an Active version without watering down the specs.

That would be very exciting. Here's hoping.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bossei:
Can you explain to me why that's important to you? Waterproofing that is? Have you had problems with getting your phone wet in the past? What appeals to you in that you will pass on a phone that's not waterproof? Just wondering...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] systoxity:
Yeah no problem, there's quite a few reasons why waterproof seems attractive to me. I live in Fl and i often have to contend with rain/sweat. I ride a motorcycle and run outdoors on the regular. I guess all that boils down to peace of mind (i damaged a S2 canoeing and got caught in the rain a few times with the Note II no damage though thankfully). Also i think it'd be pretty cool to grab some pictures under water of course.

Problem is, if i'd never owned the note 2 i would have hopped on the z1 no problem. But i really liked its large screen. I have big ol hands (the note 2 almost looks normal when i'm holding it). Also the large screen is very easy on the eyes. I also regularly used the stylus.. :(. Wish i could buy them both.

Thank you that makes perfect sense.
