[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sharonbw:
This is my best description of what happened. Any thoughts?

I was running AJK 4.6 and SuperNexus 2. I think my (up until now normal) battery went dead and the phone turned off (I'd received low battery warning). I plugged it in but it is apparently no longer charging.

While on the charger it turned itself on (middle of the night) and started running in some kind of bootloop. I would see the Samsung logo then it would flash a couple times and then sometimes cycle back and sometimes turn off. I probably should have waited until I could get a new battery but instead I started messing with it. I started thinking something may have gone wrong in the ROM/kernel/stweaks when it went dead so I decided to Odin back to stock. I did that and the same thing keeps happening. Stock successfully installed but won't boot. I see the boot logo then it either cycles back or turns off. As long as it's plugged in it randomly turns on and tries to boot. Battery does get hot. With just the battery the hard keys might (or might not) flash but nothing else happens. In all this I've never got recovery to boot although obviously got in download mode ok.

I'm actually due for an upgrade so may simply go ahead and get my SG4 but I'd still like to get some files from internal sd. Is this just a bad battery causing this? Shouldn't it boot when plugged in though?

No, the phone will not turn on with the battery pulled but plugged in, so if the battery is dead, then it will also not turn on with the battery when plugged in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sharonbw:
Does it make sense that a bad battery would cause the bootloop? I've ordered a battery so we'll see if that's the whole problem. It was just weird coming on in the middle of the night like that! LOL

Edit: still is randomly coming on and looping. Volt meter says 3.43

Edit2: got into recovery. Stock recovery factory reset would wipe my sd card - pictures and all - wouldn't it?

And, now I can't get the phone to turn off. If it's plugged in it cycles the loop continuously.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
No, it doesn't really make sense to me. However, I have seen numerous people report exactly that behavior with the I777 over the past couple of years. So it seems likely that it could be the problem. Or it could be some kind of hardware failure. I think replacing the battery is the correct next troubleshooting step.

No. Factory reset only wipes the data partition. Your SD card is completely separate from the internal memory where bootloaders, kernel, system, data and other things reside.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sharonbw:
"Delete all user data" sounds like it will delete the pictures in the camera's internal directory. If I've copied or moved files on to the external sd they're safe but won't all internal files - including pictures and documents - disappear?

Note: it's hard to sit on my hands and do nothing until my battery comes Wed so I'll prob end up wiping the phone which defeats the purpose of getting the phone to start so I can backup my stuff. Arghhhh!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sharonbw:
Update in case anyone notices this thread - I did finally get the phone to boot after it sat on the charger all day (and it's fine) but the battery is still at 6% so obviously that is the problem. I'll have a new battery in a couple days and should be fine.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Wipe data/factory reset wipes the contents of the "data" partition. This is not the same as "user data." It will not touch your SD card. It will delete everything that is stored in the data partition, so all your user settings and system customizations will be lost. You'll lose text messages, call logs, address book, and a host of other things that are part of the system data partition, where system applications are installed. But applications that you download from the play store usually store their application data on the SD card, so while the applications themselves will be removed, the data will still be there. You photo album will definitely still be there after you perform a wipe data/factory reset. Please, you need to do some study.

I'd say be strong and wait. Trying a known good battery is the logical next step in troubleshooting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gireeshtty9:
No Factory reset does not wipe user data such as your pics, videos etc as creepycrawly said. And as far as you issue is concerned, I can say is replace your battery with a new one. I am pretty sure battery is the culprit here :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sharonbw:
Such as this? http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB410703&cv=820#fbid=nKf9PRSKHWu

Notice where it says deletes "content such as pictures". The internal sd gets wiped so it's gone unless I copied it to my little 2Gb card.

Fortunately, I didn't go there. I just threw it in a drawer to wait until Wed. ;>

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sharonbw:
Yes, actually, in stock recovery it does unless they are on external sd. Btw, I did put it back the way it was with cwm, ajk, and super nexus 2 without losing anything. :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
Glad to hear that you were able to recover! :good:

Just a reminder for when you replace your SII - the S4 has a locked bootloader so unless you get one that is PRE-MF3 update then you can only run rooted stock and no custom kernels.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sharonbw:
What's your favorite device @AJ? Would you advise anything other than the S4? I like stock if it can be debloated but... my name is Sharon and I'm a flashoholic. :p

Sent from my GT-p511x
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
I really like the S4 so long as you get one that you can use custom ROM/kernel on. I am looking all over trying to find another 1 for myself since my original S4 got updated.

Or :

An international GT-i9505 S4 would be great, but NOT the S4 with the exynos processor.

A T-mobile S4 (probably the best S4 overall)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Actually, I was thinking more about learning how the phone works so you would have a foundation to understand issues such as this. Leave it to AT&T to put out dis-information. The fact that they included the word "pictures" in that support article is just wrong. Pictures are not saved into the data partition on the I777. You will note that the article also says "Data stored to an SD card will not be erased unless otherwise selected." That means both the internal SD card, and any external SD card. Since pictures are saved to the internal SD card, they are not touched by a wipe data/factory reset. All the other things mentioned in that article are accurate. You can verify this for yourself if you want. First save your pictures to your computer (if you are worried that the what I am saying is wrong) and then perform a wipe data/factory reset. You'll see that the pictures are still there afterwards. Or ask anyone here on the forums. Everyone uses a wipe occasionally and will know this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sharonbw:
I feel slightly offended by your implication that I'm ignorant about how my phone works. I'm not an expert but I've learned a lot in the last year and consider myself reasonably knowledgeable. I took your advice to ask the community. I will test it myself in a few days. Part of my personal experience is the "factory reset" on the stock kindle fire which definitely does wipe ALL user data.

Sent from my GT-p511x
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
On the SGH-I777, and presumably on other Samsung phones, when you perform a "Factory data reset" from within the system settings, there is a tick box that you can check which will also "Format USB storage" as the data wipe is performed. (USB storage is the technical term for the internal SD card.) However, when performing a wipe data/factory reset from within recovery, and that would include stock 3e recovery, there is no option to also format USB storage.

I am not familiar with Kindle, but I would not assume that the memory partitioning, or other functions of the device for that matter, would be the same or similar to a Samsung device.

And by the way, no disrespect was intended.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sharonbw:
Thanks creepycrawly. I think that clears it up for me. See I learned something! ;p

@ Stefan,

worked with it yet?

Your experiances?

Seems awsome, pitty can try it at the moment due to mksbigstorage without extendedrom.

Please give some feedback wether or not its working, especially the "unlock" and the possible editability.

Cheers

Ah, silly me

I wish I would have known that before I upgraded ROMs and did the bigstorage hack :?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] tron1:
It's not that easy ramram.

U can't unhide the rom. No error message.

So you also can't unlock. Message "FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION"

But nice try so.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] RAGOv:
I think the hardware of the Magician is also a problem....comparing the Magician to the Himalaya for example,we see that Himalaya has got 2 ROM chips each 32 MB,one of them contains the ROM image,the other contains storage + extROM...so somehow,unlocking ext ROM have to deal with the second chips,and keep the ROM image chip untouched...the same hardware architecture applies on BA,but with 2x64 MB chips....on the other hand,the Magician,has got only 1 ROM chip of 64 MB,containing the ROM image(36 MB),the small storage,and the EXTROM....that's why unlocking EXTROM can not leave the ROM image chip untouched,and that's the problem I think....

Anyway,thanx ramram for trying,it's time that someone try to do something concerning Magician ext ROM unlocking,since Anansky has vanished (with everything he knows :P),after helping no one.... :mad:

Hello,

I was wondering; is there a way to make facebook pages load faster? Whenever I scroll through the news feed, it makes me wait after scrolling to the bottom to see more news feed. Is there a way to make it load instantly like it does on the iPhone or the S4 (take a look at this video to see what I want to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrpBXqAc_1w&feature=player_detailpage#t=21 (note from there to 0:26)). Is there a way for the loading times (not app loading times, but feed loading times as shown in that video) to decrease? I hope you understand what I'm asking. If not, I can clarify more.

Thanks XDA!

also, with debugging on, let your computer load all of the drivers you need installed. that has been the biggest problem i have noticed for users.

there is a list of five , maybe six drivers that need to be installed. windows should automatically do this. casual and java seem to rarely be the problem.

Dear all:

As many of us having the problem when try to upgrade the device (Dopod, iMate etc...) getting a error no 150 said the the rom is not designed to this deivce..... Any one know how to solve it.

As I am using Dopod 828 Chinese Version, as now I try to upgrade it and the procedure are as bellow

1. Right click on the EXE-file and extract to a named folder (using Winzip or something similiar)

2. You should end up with about 6 - 8 individual files; ms.nb1, radio.nb1, nk.nb1 ruu.conf, ruu.dll, enterbl, getdevicedata and maupgradeut, the maupgradeut is the file that runs the upgrade

3. Download the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe

4. Once you have this file you will need to add this to the folder created above as this is the file needed to initiate the upgrade.

5. In ActiveSync, click on file and connection settings and untick the USB connection.

6. Connect the phone to the USB, and run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe

7. The upgrade Wizard will start, go through a few checks then eventually come up with the country Id error.

8. Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file again and this time it should allow you to run the Wizard.

9. The process should then go through 3 stages which should last about 10 - 15 minutes.

10. When finished you should get the upgrade successful notification and a prompt to reset the device

11. In ActiveSync, click on file and connection settings and tick the USB connection.

12. Enjoy your new ROM

I am using ROM Version WWE_11200_550_11200
