[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhil17kr:
here's a tragedy..that local repair shop owner said he couldn't change the POWER IC (INR 800 or $13) cause it is pasted to the board tighyly and hence couldn't be removed or replacd only motherbprad can be repalced.. and that will costs INR 3000($50) .. so i ask him fo return of my old motherbaord then he said he have to send the old one in order to get the new to replace this..

So i go to another one and after checking he said the POWER IC can be changed and may fix the Phone and it'll cost INR 2000($33) and he got the POWER IC and doesn't to ship..

SO the fact is

1) The first one will also gonna change the POWER IC at the costs of INR 3000 ($50) and saying me that he'll change the board and send the older one to get new one..

2) the second one will change the POWER IC and will fix the phone for INR 2000($33)...

SO this is it... everyone wants to take advantage of this poor thing :p

can i do something at home of POWER IC :p

ir have to go for 2nd option ???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
That's terrible. I feel lucky I've never had such problems having electronics repaired here.

Could you repair it yourself; as in remove a small component from the motherboard, and replace it with another small component without damaging any other components in the process ?

I'll put it this way...I wouldn't try that myself in a million years. Why ? Because I have no experience removing/replacing/resoldering components the size of those on a phone's motherboard. I'd be worried I'd trash something else on the board through being imprecise with the soldering iron/similar. I'd pay someone else to fix it every time.

You, however, might feel confident enough to fix it yourself if you have some experience with these sorts of things. If you have no experience at all with fiddling with electronics/soldering at that size, trying to fix this yourself is not advised. If you mess it up, your phone goes in the bin/will be pretty much unrepairable.

Yes, you do seem to be getting 'the run around' by these people who are offering to fix it for you.

As to which option you choose, only you can make that judgement, because as you're actually there & talking to these people, only you are going to be in a position to judge which of these is being more honest with you. I must admit, I'm surprised they've both said they can repair it by replacing a single part on the board rather than just replace the whole board, but as I mentioned earlier, you'd hope they'd actually had a good look at your phone & diagnosed it properly before telling you this.

I guess you don't have much choice other than to trust one of them, assuming you don't have a third/fourth/etc repairer to take it to for another opinion.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhil17kr:
ya.. as i told you earlier .. i 've googled for these issues and find youtube videos for fixing this dead issue by just replacing POWER IC

here's the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce0bCRnY_A0

and here are those people who have same these issues before :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1876232

so i think i will go for 2nd one.. asking him for guarantee that it should work after replacing POWER IC otherwise if still doesn't work i'll not going to pay you..and will bargain for this ;)

P.S. S2 and Note both have same Power Manager Controller IC MAX8997 ...:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Good plan re: telling them 'I'm not paying you unless you fix it'. That's a fair deal & sticking up for yourself. Good luck ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhil17kr:
Thanks bro.. will keep this updated tomorrow when i'll go again.. :)

Hope for the best !!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhil17kr:
UPDATE: So i gave my phone to the local mobile repair center...and after inspection as expected he said the POWER IC need to be replaced.... SO i gave my phone today evening to him and will take on after 1 day i.e. on 29th of evening...

The cost will be INR 2000($31.69)..

Will tell ya.. when i got my phone working...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhil17kr:
SO, IT turns out The guy says it doesn't have POWER IC PROBLEM... instead it has corrupt EMMC CHIP Problem..

MAy be this is the reason the Phone automatically Crashes and restart on itself and doesn't boot when the files are copying in the internal SD card at the First Place..

He said he going out of city and will look for replacement EMMC and its not sure if it'll be available or not..

SO , I want to know if EMMC chip is available for replacement ???

Is there an way that you can detect whether the dead s2 is problem caused by either POWER IC or Corrupted EMMC ??

I am wondering how Corrupted EMMC CHIP doesn't let Boot even to boot..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Which is exactly what this problem is always caused by.

No, you cannot buy a new EMMC separately, nor can you (normally) buy a new motherboard without having a Samsung service centre do the replacement. In some dodgy countries you might get 'leakage' of new boards without the service centre doing the replacement, but if Samsung found out they'd chuck a fit.

These cases are always cause by the NAND being scrambled by the bad flash. Anything else wrong with the phone hardware-wise is coincidental.

The operating system/pre-boot/etc is on the NAND, bad flash corrupts the NAND, no more operating system/etc. It's pretty simple/logical really.

So, as I've already said however many times already in this thread (can't be arsed counting), the only way you are fixing this phone is by replacing the motherboard. I'm not posting to this thread again, because you don't listen/read what I've already said a number of times.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhil17kr:
I know dude... But i am just updating the thread .. So that other people with same problem can know what's wrong ..

Well, i will know tomorrow if he'll able to get EMMC ChIP.. otherwise only option is of course MOTHERBOARD REPLACEMENT . My bad luck :/

So I have very little knowledge on developing a ROM for android but I want to try and have fun :P

Apparently to make a ROM you need a kitchen but seeing some threads their are not kitchens... So is this done by editing sources codes and how what do you use to develop a ROM with the source code?

Big newb here but wanting to learn :(

Yeah that should be easy, just decompile SystemUI.apk and go to res/drawables-xhdpi i think, you will find the icons there, change them and compile back.

EASY!! Lol I've never decompiled an .apk in my life:) but saying that I had never used fast boot till 2 days before I got my moto g, so I will look into it.

Would the setting to change the unlock ring be found there to?

If you are rooted, use Titanium Backup to backup the app and data. If you are not rooted, you are probably out of luck.

Well when you unlock, it will wipe your device clean. So you'll lose it either way and yeah after that you can flash back 4.3 factory images.

or you can use toolkits (but the guide is better for you to learn).

I will make a backup with toolkits first then unlock and see if I can restore it on JB if not she can start over, it's good for the head sometimes...xD

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
Ohhh ok, thanks for the info! Kinda odd that Best Buy has them do that, but it's nothing new for Best Buy to have their own "exclusive" products. It's just like the Platinum cases that Best Buy sells. For those who don't know- Platinum cases are identical and even manufactured by Seidio, but only sold at Best Buy and cost less than cases labeled Seidio. It's nice if you like Seidio cases and don't HAVE to have a "name brand" embossed on your case! Are these also cheaper than regular SanDisk cards normally?

I know I've seen SanDisk cards at Best Buy that didn't say Pixtor before. Is this something new they just started doing, only certain cards, brands other than SanDisk also, or what?
