[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
As long as you still have download mode, the majority of the time it's recoverable, though not 100% of the time. There's always a chance the flash is failing because the NAND is corrupted.

Those issues you described with the phone crashing/powering off for no reason could indicate something hardware-wise which might be causing your flash attempts to barf. If you're still trying in a few days & it's not happening, it's really quick/cheap/easy to replace the USB board/port yourself. When these are on the way out, they rarely die completely & often show a few faults & work OK for other things. They can sometimes cause phones to crash/power off/reboot like you described. So as this is really cheap to do (cheaper than going the change motherboard route anyways), try that before you start thinking about replacing the motherboard. KeithRoss39 has a guide in General (search for 'replace USB charger board') which will enable you to do it easily yourself.

If you get to that point of having replaced the USB board/port (by which time you'd have been at it for over a week by the time the part arrives) & it's still not taking a flash, then you'd look at motherboard replacement or a new phone.

So far as what might be wrong with it is concerned, it's electronics. They fail. I'm always surprised at other people's surprise on here when it happens. It happens. A lot. If it's not the NAND itself, it will be something else on the motherboard causing it to crash/power off & not take a flash (assuming you don't fix it). But the fix is still motherboard replacement because attempting to replace individual components is very fiddly, and would cost you more than it costs to have a board replaced in labour alone.

If you get to the point of deciding whether to get a new board or new phone, search online & see how much it will cost you to source a 2nd hand board (assuming you want to keep the phone rather than get another one). Once you've done that, you can get the board & take it to a local mobile repair shop (not Samsung service centre) and pay them to swap it. Will still be a lot cheaper than having a service centre put a new board in, and you won't have to put up the poor service you spoke of.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidex:
I was thinking of waiting for the Samsung's suggested F-series flagship/Note 4 or Sony Experia Z3 later in the year (Z2 is great but with user irreplaceable battery which for me is a no-go), but considering the case, no matter the outcome I am probably going for Note III next month.

Just to rephrase what you said, I tried flashing again yesterday with the new USB cable, it reached the data.img stage this time and failed with Odin 3.09. I haven't reached that so far so will try with other firmwares as I proceed. I found the USB charger board replacement thread, http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-replacing-usb-charger-board-t2335961, great is a mild description for the efforts in there and the video itself! If there is no progress until the middle of the next week, I will order a USB board and replace it, and then will follow your advice on the motherboard. I could see that I can have it for about GBP 35 (for now this is something that I do not want to consider).

If things go well, I will sell the S2. It's a great phone, it's been with me for about 3 years now (got it immediately once it started selling) and apart from slight left bottom screen corner darker backlight irregularity, common for the first year sold S2s and varying over the firmwares set, it has been built very well and is still an above-average device that has brought me a lot of pleasure working with. Still it is electronics so maybe it was time for something new...

P.S. After the last update, when I started it today it goes into 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.' I think the battery is low so will recharge it completely and see if download can be entered. Going through this thread so will see if anything is to change, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2258628

You should not have any background static in the speaker. If there is static on every call you make, no matter your location, it is more than likely a defect.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] AidanBell:
I'm using and enjoying the excellent MegaFireMj2V6 on my Galaxy Mega 6.3, but I've come up against a problem with Bluetooth. I'm unable to connect my car to the phone. Connection begins but I then get the "Unfortunately Bluetooth Share has stopped" error. I have a Smartwatch which connects flawlessly. I've tried disassociating the watch but that didn't help with connecting the car (though that would not be a satisfactory solution anyway, I do need both devices to connect simultaneously).

Has anyone had similar experiences, does anyone know of a fix or workaround?

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Frezi Evan:

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] AidanBell:
You mean the car? No. Sadly not.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Frezi Evan:
But i see you told that about car Bluetooth..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] AidanBell:
I know there was no real response to this thread, but just in case anyone looked this up and is interested:

My problem solved itself. I tried for 24 hours to get both devices to work simultaneously, and having given up, I got into the car the next day, and Bluetooth was good as gold, connecting flawlessly! And it's worked ever since. I have no idea why, it's absolutely nothing that I did, it just decided to work! Bluetooth is weird! :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgates:
I have a strange issue that I'm hoping somebody here can shed some light on. My Nexus 5 is running stock KitKat ROM with Franco Kernel & GravityBox Xposed module.

The Bluetooth has always worked fine and paired up well with my car without any noticeable audio issues. However, last week I got a pair of cheaper Arctic brand (yes the same Arctic that makes case fans. LoL) Bluetooth headphones to have something wire free for when I go running (they get great reviews on Amazon). They are specifically these here:

http://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Blueto...0&sr=1-1&keywords=arctic+bluetooth+headphones

When they came in they paired up with my Nexus just fine and I had no audio cutting out issues over Wifi or LTE. Also worked great on phonecalls. The range is excellent as I can have my phone laying on my Kitchen table and be around 25 - 30 ft away across the house with a wall in between and audio doesn't cut out.

So fast forward to when I attempted to use them on a run. I have a Spi Belt to carry the phone when I run (it's basically a thin flexible waist belt with a stretchy thin neoprene pocket on the back to hold your phone snugly against your back (no bouncing) while your run. The first day I ran, I had the Nexus in the Spi Belt and the bluetooth audio signal cut in and out like crazy. The phone is in a thin neoprene pocket with only the bottom of my Nike Dri fit shirt covering it........and it's less than 3 feet from the Bluetooth headphones on my head. Needless to say I was very fruststrated.

I did some searching online and ran across some info on a possible bluetooth issue with the latest Qualcomm radio module update as well as people reporting Bluetooth issues in KitKat. One of the suggestions was disable the 5GHZ band for Wifi. I did this and when I ran the next day, with the same setup the audio only cut out a few times (instead of like 100 times the first day).

So my question is. Does anybody here know if there is a known Bluetooth issue? Is there a fix or workaround? I'm thinking it's related to the Bluetooth on the Nexus because the improvement was immense when disabling the 5GHZ on Wifi.

This weekend I am going to try turning the Wifi off completely, as well as testing my same running gear setup with my sister's iPhone 5S to prove the issue is with the Android/Qualcomm Bluetooth. It's a VERY annoying issue.

If I hold the Nexus in my hand while running, the audio is flawless. However, I think it's interference related somehow since making the adjustment to the Wifi Frequency really helped the issue, even when the Nexus was in the Spi Belt strapped to my back and under my shirt.

Any additional information or suggestion is extremely appreciated.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgates:
Update......

Ok, so I am still working on narrowing down the exact issue but I have been able to narrow the issue down some more. I tested with my Nexus 5 in the running belt this weekend when visiting my parents over WIFI & LTE and was unable to get the audio to cut out once. So at this point I do not believe the issue is directly related to the Bluetooth connection.

When I went out after work today the issue returned. However, today since it turned cool here I was just walking instead of running and carried the phone in my pocket.....so I started to check the screen when the audio cut out. I noticed that the mobile data connection had dropped from "LTE" to "H" (which I believe is 3G).

Whenever I am out running I have the Runkeeper App running (which uses GPS), and then Tune-In Radio to listen to sports talk radio (streaming low bitrate audio over LTE).

Until I started using the new Bluetooth Headphones, I was running the same route with wired Sony earbuds and I did not have any audio issues. So at this point I am thinking that since LTE dropped off, there is something about the combination of LTE, GPS, & Bluetooth being active at the same time that is causing interference and causing LTE to drop and switch to 3G, hence causing the audio hiccup. (like maybe it bouncing between LTE & 3G).

Any thoughts or additional ideas to troubleshoot further? Even though I don't want to my next step is to try with Runkeeper/GPS disabled and see if the issue is still present (I really need Runkeeper to track my distance). Whenever TuneIn, Runkeeper, & GPS & Bluetooth are all enabled, the Nexus RAM is only about halfway full.

Thanks for any additional suggestions. This issue is driving me nuts.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgates:
Another update....

Ok, I'm out of ideas. It makes no difference what apps are running and although LTE does drop to 3G in some areas, that doesn't appear to be causing any issues.

After doing some more googling I ran across a thread on Reddit where a few users had stated that using a custom kernel that has the minimum CPU frequency set at 300 MHZ which is lower than stock could cause audio stutter in some audio players. So I tried bumping my min cpu freq all the way up to 672 but that seemed to have no affect on my audio issue.

As a last resort to eliminate the Franco Kernel as a possible issue, I flashed back to 4.4.2 Stock Kernel.

I have the same audio issues on stock kernel as on Franco. At this point I guess I'm going to RMA the headphones to Amazon for a replacement pair.

Today while I was out running, the Bluetooth connection totally dropped twice. So the issue has to be with the headphones or the Bluetooth on my Nexus 5, correct?

This is one of the strangest issues I've ever had to troubleshoot on any equipment.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnthonyG92:
Same issue here but with a Bluetooth headset I use whilst on the motorcycle. It's pretty random when it happens though.. Some days it will be absolutely fine. Others (most of the time, unfortunately) it freaks out. I'll post back here if I figure out what's going on. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgates:
Cross-body interference........

Well after some more scouring the net I ran across this info. Looks like a crappy issue to have.

I am going to give the Motorola Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth headphones a try and see if I have any better results with them. I just don't see how you can EVER have direct line of site with your phone in your pocket or strapped to your back in the Spi Belt.

Some equipment must have fewer issues than others because I would think this would be something a LOT of people complained about, but I had trouble running across this possible issue on the net.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbmolenaar:
Same Nexus 5 bluetooth issue

I also have a nexus 5 and I am experiencing the same issue with my Denon bluetooth headset.

At first I thought the noise was caused by the Runkeeper app together with my music app, because when I just use Google Play Music I experience less interruption of the Bluetooth signal.

Did you find a solution to your Nexus 5 Bluetooth issues?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImpalerPLM:
I have experienced the same thing. Just bought SONY MRD-10RBT headphones which cost me some good dime. and I use bluetooth audio streaming from my Xperia Z3. I put phone in my front jeans pocket and I get hiccups every 1-2 minutes.

what the hell?? is the technology still so inferior??? can anything can be done about this? :(
[Nexus 5 General] fcng:
Dear All,

The Nexus 6 is coming but the hardware will not be that different from the Nexus 5. It will still be quad core with a 1080p display, 2-3 gigs of ram, and gesture functions. As rumoured, if the 2015 is the last Nexus, what will Google come out with for its grand finale. The octa core would most likely show itself, but what special feature(s) will Google come out with that would WOW us? Lets realistically think about what will appear in 2014-2015 that could actually make it into moblie phones. I'll start it off with what we know...the Smartwatch, Google Glass and the final Nexus phone to have special features that communicate with each other to make our communication with the world even more simpler and allow us to see and do more with our devices. Your turn. :victory:

But i just order the 2 Devices to cause i know previously that i get my money back xD Just to get them and make take apart them and look into them.

But now back to your Question...

first the most Phones come from china ;)

next...why not? you need to have a TWRP then instal magisk or supersu

or...you can extract the stock boot image from the stock rom to patch it with magisk and after that replace the stock boot/ramdisk image with the patched one.

but its wayne what ever you do...make at first a full NAND Backup ;)
