Hi im stuck whit my phone brick help

hello my phone was damaged when I was changing the rom this was a custom ROM and do not save the name of which is the use could not put the link that I used to root since I'm new to the forum. after changing the custom rom on reboot but I do not start and I could not change the rom not acceded to recovery and download mode not detected but the pc only detected at qload mode
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
When the pc shows your device as QDLOAD etc... ..... Usually jtag at a service Depot is your only hope.

Can't say I've seen threads on here of anyone fixing it. Sorry guys. ?

Re-Uploaded Brixfix Files

Hello! I apologize for being away for so long, and for not answering PMs. I've finally re-uploaded the files I used to unbrick my SGH-T989. They can be found here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/7p72qz4ef0k38ns/Brixfix-2-1 (Modified).zip?dl=0

The .zip extracts to a folder called "Brixfix-2-1 (Modified)" which contains all of the files from darkspr1te's Brixfix v2.1 (including the documentation, PLEASE read), plus what's needed for the S2. It will work with the phone in either the QDLOAD or SDCARD modes. Note: Some of the included files/folders pertain to another device, please ignore them.

Start from step 3 above, except navigate to the folder named "Brixfix-2-1 (Modified)" not "Brixfix-2-1". If all goes well, you should be able to boot the phone into Odin mode and partition/install your ROM. BTW, the partition file (pitfile.pit) is located in the folder named "SGH-T989-16GB", as stated above.

NOTE:

The files I've uploaded are only intended for use with the T-Mobile version of the Samsung Galaxy S2, model SGH-T989, with 16GB of internal memory. I offer no guarantees, but I will help as best I can.

Finally, since the above quoted post I have bricked my phone a second time (with the Link2SD app, beware) and was able to recover it from the QDLOAD mode using Brixfix. It may take more than one attempt to make it work, though.

Best Regards,

Jim

will this, or has anyone any idea about the t989d model, is there a method to fix this qhsusb_dload mess

all the talk seems to be about t989 but it seemed like originally was for 989d

thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hegon:
yes, according to the tuto was sucesfull. thanks for the reply.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Krebs830:
The advertised specifications of the T989 and T989D are virtually identical. From that only, I'd hazard a guess that the only real difference between them is in their firmware (kernel/ROM). However, I'd want confirmation that the hardware is in fact identical, before recommending anyone with a T989D try the method I've posted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Krebs830:
Alright, I've seen several threads where folks have stated that these two are identical, and that they've been able to cross-flash the ROMs, which tells me that the partitions are also the same (at least for the 16GB versions). So, it should be "safe" to try and recover the T989D using Brixfix.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fintaneduffy:
cool will give it a go, cant make it any worse than it already is, downloading ubuntu at the moment.

i presume nobody has got this working on windows yet, only linux??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Krebs830:
Have you tried a battery pull between attempts? Disconnect the USB cable, remove the battery for 10 seconds or so, reinstall it, plug in the USB cable and try again.
[Galaxy S II General] iDynamics:
Great work. But it seems as if my Wifi isn't working anymore.
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Thanks. I will have to fix that or compile it with a rom. I forgot to include dhd. ko from lib/modules
[Galaxy S II General] iDynamics:
Looking forward to it!. I'll restore my nandroid and flash the kernel again once it's fixed. :good:
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
I'll most likely just release this with CM-10.2 instead. save a lot of headache. Then hopefully we have a working build with this kernel, while i work out the kinks in Hellybean.
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
Is this kernel compatible with TF's cm 11, and if so, is there a fix I can apply for wifi in the mean time while waiting for the update? Great job btw. So excited to try this out!
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
I don't know how to compile properly without a rom apparently. So i am going to build this kernel with cm-10.2 exclusively for now.

But the kernel should work with all cm-10.2 based roms and 4.3 based roms. if I can get wifi working I will release it separately.
[Galaxy S II General] GrAt_On:
Hey

I have no idea if this is even relevant for flashing this rom or just everyday use, but should I be concerned about this Trickster Mod? I have no idea what it is. Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
You will need to download Trickster MOD from the playstore if you wish to tune any values or set governors or i/o schedulers
[Galaxy S II General] iDynamics:
I dirty flashed this over t_f's 10.2 build. Everything seems to be working as it should.

Edit: Sometimes when I press the power button to wake my device the keys light up but the screen remains black.
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
It should be like that for some time. I will let you know if any future builds will or will not. :)
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Yeah. Some things are a constant. That issue plagues all these devices....

But i know tf's build was better. I'll look into his commits.
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
New build in topic.

Fixed screen wake up delay

Same build otherwise, versioning updated to reflect that build's kernel is updated
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Who mentioned some time ago that the hercules may be a closer match to the I757M (celoxhd) than the skyrocket? I am not sure about ROM wise...but you hit the nail on the head when it comes to kernels. Although this rom was compiled using a skyrocket kernel, guess where that skyrocket kernel came from? Yeah you guessed right. From the hercules! I am only playing with rom building for the time being, I'll leave that to our master titanic_fanatic. So since he is maintaining most him time to the development of popular roms for our device, I will maintain my time to the development of kernels. Users of the diablo kernel with proper settings should be experiencing performance and battery life differences even by now. I know I have. This will only get better. :)
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
My settings in trickster are always set back to default on reboot, is there a way I can change this?
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Yeah, top right corner of the app is settings button the slides open a menu, make sure" Kernel settings" is selected.

For a conservative setting and better battery life, choose badass for governor. Not sure on I/O scheduler, But for reference, i Know Interactive paired with bfq causes lags. Refer to op for update on governors.

The developer of the kernel has a good post on it here

[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Here is a really good thread on Governors

CPU Governors Explained
[Galaxy S II General] iDynamics:
Will a clean flash fix the issue I am having with the screen not waking?
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
I am not sure how i am going to fix that yet. It appears that the kernel dev chose to live with it, or the kernel behaves differently for skyrocket/hercules users. I tried applying titanic_fanatic's fixes, but it appears the issue remains. I will look at it again. For now, it might be helpful to choose a governor from the performance/battery section. I am currently on Intellidemand with row scheduler and Quallcomm mpdecision disabled (which enables kernel control). Battery life is looking amazing. Also having a snappier governor should help.

[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I think you are experiencing this issue because you commented out a variable to get the kernel to compile, but forgot to redefine that variable with a hard coded value of 1. Check out my commit here:

Thanks!! I will for sure have a look at that so I understand what was done! You were right, I am starting to have fun, and I am happy to share my work with everyone. :D

and you're right, I was missing a line!
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
[MENTION=3478918]rukusx7[/MENTION], are you going to do another build of this rom? If so, I just finished updating the overlays in our device tree to set the default apn and network mode. Also disabled dream by default. I also added the 91fixoverlays to be added automatically to the build.

For my build scripts, I've added a fixzip.sh script that will copy over the cm-11 update-binary which is now included in the device tree. It will also update the build.prop for you updating the build type, locale and jni settings. This new script can be run standalone, but will also run at the end of a successful build if using my build script.

EDIT:

fixzip.sh requires that you have p7zip and p7zip-full installed in your environment.

$ sudo apt-get install p7zip p7zip-full

[Themer General Discussion] fubacca:
I have been searching and cannot find a solution to this. Can Themer give a unread mail count for mail accounts other than just the gmail account?
[Themer General Discussion] UrbanLagoon:
Dont think so sadly =(
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Unfortunately not, we are working on this feature though. Sorry for the inconvenience.
[Themer General Discussion] kenneu:
Ditto on this request, but I have another question that's similar (same?)... I have Gmail and Corporate email accounts I have to monitor. It seems just about every theme has just one email, one sms, and so on. I love the themes and the application overall, but the rigidity of icon placements and selections in the themes makes it hard to replace my stocker for work use.
[Themer General Discussion] sanjsrik:
Is there an ETA for when this will work? I don't use gmail and yet, I'm forced to see "0" for email. Also, shouldn't have to be logged in just to use a theming program. Let me go online to "see" new themes but requiring that I'm online is a waste of bandwidth and battery.
[Themer General Discussion] Bernadette45:
the application is great, but I only use that email exchange, you have a date for a version that would display the number of e-mail ?
[Themer General Discussion] alldroid:
If you associate your other accounts with gmail though,shouldn't this solve the issue partly ?
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Hi,

We can't give an exact ETA, but it won't be anytime soon. The amount of resources required to integrate accounts other than Gmail would require a large of time from the developers which would put everything on hold - which is something we just can't afford at this moment in time. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Regarding the login box, this is for security reasons on our side, in the event that someone breaches our servers.
[Themer General Discussion] Altersreality:
Thanks for the hard work, can't wait for other email accounts to be integrated :good:

Theres a download link for the source code for the kernel only. So unless you know how to compile source its not worth much to the regular user. So don't download or flash it. We will have to wait for a update to come out for Roms to be built.

Why do people ASSUME that someone didn't search first? I mean, do YOU always get a hit when you do a search no matter what? Do YOU never construct a query that makes perfect sense to you but which doesn't net results? I know I don't always get it right and I'm sure that's true of everyone.

I mean, I agree, it's hard to imagine doing so in this particular case, but regardless, we can argue about whether it's a big deal to break this rule 'til we're blue in the face (it's a rule, so breaking it matters, but OTOH is it really THAT big a deal?) but that aside, the ASSUMPTION that someone in fact didn't do a search seems a bit unfair, no? Keep in mind that angross was trying to be helpful... that's what we WANT of a community, isn't it? That tends to stop when people feel they got slapped last time for trying to be helpful.

How about simply: "Hey, friendly reminder in case you didn't: please search first so we can avoid double posts"... gets the same point across without sounding like you're being heavy, right?

Hi. I'm doing a search in my university about android security.

1. is it possible obtain acess the information of the user if the device android has lock? I tought if i has a recovery custom, i do the backup of the rom, and i restore, when the device restart the informations (log calls, sms, photos) will be in the memory and it will be necessary digit the password to unlock device?

2. if i do a wipe (not data), in reboot the password will be necessary? (wipe system maybe)

3. plug the device in a pc with linux, i can acess some information (log calls, sms...)?

if this ideia isn't impossible, exist a way of the obtain some information of user?

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] El Daddy:
1. If the device has a passworn/pin lock and a stock recovery, you won't be able to access any data. If it has a custom recovery, you can boot into it and do a backup to gain data. If you apply that backup to a new device, it will still have the password lock as all settings and data remain intact.

2. Yes, any setting is in the /data partition.

3. You won't be able to access and data if the phone is locked.

I try go to Program\O2Install Type, then there are two options for chossing:

+ Corporate,

but when I chose corporate option, it displays a box for you input number but I don't know what number I have to put in, any Guru please advise how can I use the corporate option,

Thanks Alot

corporate mode

I am trying to do the installation in the corporate mode and when i put in 0506....when i enter the 6 it gives a message saying "welcome corporate user......o2 active will not be installed" and when i give ok the screen goes back to the one it was and it doesn't install the corporate mode

any suggestions or ideas that can help solve this problem and the cause of this problem?

thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mikealder:
That is correct Corporate mode will not install the O2 crap on to the device, you don't get anything extra, infact you get less - the big advantage is a much more stable device - Mike
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] saumilvora:
yeah i know that but if u read my question correctly then IT DOESN'T INSTALL IN THE CORPORATE AFTER THAT MESSAGE....IT GOES BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SCREEN AS WHERE I HAD STARTED FROM. IT IS STILL IN THE PERSONAL INSTALL MODE. I CANNOT INSTALL IT INTO THE CORPORATE MODE!!!!

AS SOON AS I ENTER THE LAST DIGIT 6 IT GIVES ME THAT MESSAGE AND THEN GOES BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SCREEN AND DOESN'T INSTALL CORPORATE MODE.

HELP WITH THAT PLS

THANKS
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Yetster:
yeah unfortunatly from what i have seen it is impossible to actually change from basic to corporate mode without actually hard reseting the device sorry mate
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mikealder:
All the stuff that O2 want you to have on the screen, mostly shortcuts from what I remember that very easily put you on the internet. Some people love it others hate it, and no guess as to which camp I reside in. The O2 Active has given me major problems in the past, but once I got rid of it the device has been great (XDAIIs aka Blue Angel and the XDA-Exec).

The Active interface simply slowed down the device to the point it either crashed or ground to a halt, both problems required a softreset, since binning the Active and using Corporate mode I have had very few problems with either device.

I have gone one step further this time though with the new phone (when it arrives) is a factory stock HTC Artemis so there will be no O2 rubish loaded from day one, I also can't be bothered to wait for O2 to decide IF they are going to make this device available, will probably switch network provider at the same time to save some cash though! - Mike
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi,,

I have just tried flashing a ROM on the Ascend W1 and I am getting an error, which has oviously rendered my device unusable. It does vibrate when trying to turn it on, but screen is black.

I was working with eMMC Software Download app, activated "Program Boot Loaders" and loaded a XML-file. Then I clicked on Download, as shown in the video of windowsmania.pl and in their instructions. I got the message:"Download completed - no errors detected" and my device is correctly recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9006. In the eMMC Software Download app it is listed as Qualcomm MMC Storage USB Device, which should also be correct. Still, the device status is shown simply as "error" instead of "writable". The Download button is not clickable. I have tried it with two different PCs, one with Windows 7 and another with Windows 8.

What am I doing wrong?

What does this mean and could anyone who has experience with this issue please help me out?

Thanks in advance!

I found a way to solve this issue, but I have no idea why it worked.

I installed Windows 7 32-bit on my PC, installed the drivers, restarted and it was instantly recognized as Qualcomm (whatever) 9006.

So I started QPST Software Download app and I was able to download it. It seems that I had to use a 32bit operating system and not Windows 8, at least it looks like that. The Download button wasn't clickable and the device status has shown error on Windows 8 64bit and Windows 7 64bit. It was writable in 32bit. Hope this helps someone out.
