OK, so here is where I am. Simply put, Still no joy. I have removed Kies from my computer. Relocated the USB cable to connect directly with the mother board, and I have run Odin (3.07) as Administrator.

Phone will always go into Download mode, but only download mode, nothing else. If I attempt to just flash the stock ROM, Odin says "No PIT partition found." Whenever I try to load either of two PIT files for the SGH-T889, Odin appears to run normally up to the point of saying "Get PIT for mapping..." Then it gets stuck right there. I tried loading TWRP recovery as a tar file through Odin, but failed because it said no PIT partition found.

Ciphercodes has been amazing in his dedication to helping me fix my problem and Coug has also been more than kind. There seems to be some indication on the net that others with my problem have ultimately had to replace their motherboards. It just seems to me that since Download mode always comes up, we could hopefully save this phone.

Sorry to be so long winded here. It is just my frustration in thinking that my wife's $600 phone that is less than 2 years old is completely fried. I am going to be away for the next six or seven hours. If anyone has any further suggestions, please let me know. This community is the best. Especially you, Ciphercodes! I will try the TWRP through ADB this evening. You are the best, dude!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
Since you are nearing the end of your solo battle with the device you might try to Odin the UVALJ1 image a couple of times and see if it will do the trick. After a try at that you could try to Odin MK7. Don't click repartition. It can't hurt at this point.

You may be on the road to JTAG service... Mobiletechvideos is a reputedly good outfit for such service.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hodgestl:
JTAG Service??? I don't understand. Sorry and thank you for the input.

Tried LJ1 3 times, 1st & 3rd failed saying no PIT partition. 2nd one failed at Setup connection. Even though Odin showed a Blu connected box and a connection to Com 5, the second effort failed. Looks like I am going to try ADB as described by Ciphercodes. I have never used that, but looks like we are on our last hope. Thanks Coug for your input and trying to help. I appreciate you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hodgestl:
Cipher, I have run the adb stuff to the best of my ability. I have never used adb. I installed per the instructions I found online. I put the twrp img file in the same directory where adb was. I ran the first command, and as far as I know it worked. ADB scrolled many lines of text up the cmd window. After that, I ran the 2nd command (adb shell dd if=/sdcard/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-t03g.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9).

I got the following response:

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

error: device not found

I ran all of this with the phone in download mode. Please tell me what I did wrong. Also, just FYI, when I ran this, Odin could see the phone on Com 5 so I assume it is sorta connected correctly. I'm not sure about adb seeing the phone though. I am willing to follow instruction if you are not out of patience. Thanks for everything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
Good that you got ADB working. I forgot to mention that those commands wont work in download mode. Does your phone boot in to stock recovery ? Home+Vol-UP+Power

If it boots in to recovery then connect your phone to your system and then when you run this command "adb shell" w/o quotes you should see a device listed. If that works then run this command and let me know the output of this command "adb shell dmesg" w/o quotes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hodgestl:
Cipher, thanks again for all the help and input. Unfortunately, I am still not able to have any sort of recovery mode. If I turn the phone on normally or try recovery mode I just get dozens of black and white lines running diagonally across the screen. This has been true since the first attempt at restoring a stock ROM. So it is still true that Download mode is the only option I have, so it looks like ADB won't work. Do you think, if I go back to the download mode but try to figure out Heimdall instead of Odin, I might have better results? Or are we at the end of the road? Thanks for your reply.

Well a quick effort to install Heimdall has been frustrating. I nstall the package and when I run it, I get a message that says The program can't start because MSVCP100.dll is missing from your computer. According to the Heimdall Readme file, this is a common problem that can be solved by going to the MS Windows website, and downloading MS Visual C++ runtimes. I have tried to do that twice just to be able to try to stumble through Heimdall, but not having any luck. Oh well. Now I sit here and stare at this $600 nice paper weight I guess, or follow Coug76's advice and send it off. That may be a reasonable thought at this point. I am sure open for suggestions. Thanks to everyone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] phzi:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555 is the version you need to install for MSVCP100.dll.

I have a very similar situation with a T889V Note II right now. Only download mode, same white/grey lines when you boot otherwise. Tried most of the same things - can't flash PIT, just hangs, and without PIT it can't find the partition table. Only difference in my case is that the Product Name is still valid in odin (and it is on 4.3 bootloader).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
Hi,

Please see below instructions for flashing via Heimdall.

1) Download and extract the attached Heimdall suite on your system.

Link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/wpadacc2v25i8ap/Heimdall_Suite.zip -> I could not attach it to this post as it is more than 8 Mb (9Mb) so I uploaded on my mediafire account.

Now setting up drivers for Heimdall is always tricky but I will list the method on how I got it working on Windows 7.

Please note the only way Heimdall worked for me was by replacing the winusb drivers with libusb drivers. Once you replace the drivers phone will not be detected by ODIN until you revert back these changes and it's easy. To revert, simply uninstall gadget serial under USB Serial Bus Controllers under Device Manager and then when you click for hardware changes system will automatically detect and install windows drivers,

2) Boot your phone in download mode and then connect it to your system via USB.

3) Open directory drivers under heimdall suite you just extracted and then execute zdiag.exe (right click and run as admin).

4) Under Zdiag click options and then list all devices.

5) Now you should see your phone listed.

6) Click dropdown menu (very right side on drivers) and select libusbk.

7) Click on Replace Drivers

At this stage Heimdall must be ready.

8) Now extract the T889UVBMD1 tar.md5 file under the directory where you see heimdall.exe.

7) Copy the pit file in the same directory.

8) Now flash all ROM components including the zip file by using this command. Make sure all files in the command are indeed in that directory.

heimdall.exe flash --repartition --pit sgh-t889.pit --CACHE cache.img --BOOT boot.img --SYSTEM system.img --RECOVERY recovery.img --RADIO modem.bin --HIDDEN hidden.img --BOOTLOADER sboot.bin --TZSW tz.img --verbose

(Please verify the name if the pit file and adjust the command accordingly)

If you see any driver or libusb errors then go to step 6) and choose libusb0 and then click replace drivers and then execute command listed in step 8.

If the interal memory is fine then this should get it fixed.

Please note, I have never tried these commands but I would have followed exactly in this order if I had to.

If this still does not work then still there the last resort is somthing I read on XDA that the ROM can be installed on an external memory card.

Hit me up on hangouts (check PM)if you want me to walk you through Heimdall.

Do not hesitate to ask if there are any questions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] phzi:
I gave this a shot on my semi-bricked Note II. Only download mode works - product name is intact, but flashing via ODIN fails with the error that there is no PIT partition, and flashing with repartition hangs forever. RP SWREV is blank on the download mode screen, however (unsure what this means).

Flashing with Heimdall and repartition says:

Uploading PIT
ERROR: Failed to confirm end of PIT file transfer!
ERROR: PIT upload failed!

The device then stops responding until you pull the battery and 3-button combo into download mode again.

If I flash without repartition, it's effectively the same as ODIN:

Downloading device's PIT file...
ERROR: Failed to receive PIT file size!
ERROR: Failed to download PIT file!
Ending session...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
Try with the pit file but without repartition command and see if it works.

heimdall.exe flash --pit sgh-t889.pit --CACHE cache.img --BOOT boot.img --SYSTEM system.img --RECOVERY recovery.img --RADIO modem.bin --HIDDEN hidden.img --BOOTLOADER sboot.bin --TZSW tz.img --verbose
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] phzi:
Ya, I tried that.

Downloading device's PIT file...
ERROR: Failed to receive PIT file size!
ERROR: Failed to download PIT file!
Ending session...

(and then it hangs at Ending session...)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hodgestl:
Sorry for disappearing, but family, Memorial Day, etc. etc.... This will probably be my last post on this particular thread. I will be in other threads and am certainly willing to do waht I can to help someone else. Any way, after trying to look a little at Heimdall, and looking at Phzi's experience, I have decided to send the phone for JTAG repair.

Everyone here has been phenomenal, and I really wish I had the experience and patience a lot of you have. However, my wife's phone is still fried and I have put more hours into this than I can really spare right now, so JTAG for me.

I want to particularly thank Ciphercodes for his countless followups, many brilliant ideas, and his patient demeanor in working this old man, but am still sort of a noob. He truly understands community and support for each other.

Also, I would thank Coug76 for the link of the JTAG repair place I am using. I live in west Texas, and that place is here in Texas in the southeast part of the state.

Nothing additional to say, except thanks. I wish it had been easier for us all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hodgestl:
Just a final note. I sent the phone in to Mobile Tech Videos as Coug76 suggested, and they have diagnosed EMMC chip failure. They are replacing the EMMC chip and have a guaranteed result. So looks like that no matter what we did here, it was never going to work anyway. Thanks to everyone for their input and help. We just were never going to be able to do anything with the fried EMMC anyway.

You guys are the best. Thanks to all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
Thanks for the update, this is the second phone which I could not help recover, if I recall correctly the EMMC chip had failed on the other phone too. Glad to know that it is going to be fixed.

[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonardopires:
Hi everybody,

I'm trying to mount a nfs at ouya but the ouya refused the mount.

i connect to ouya via adb and try:

mount: mounting 192.168.1.13:/volume1/teste on /sdcard/teste/ failed: Connection refused

my /etc/export file is like that:

/volume1/teste	192.168.1.16(ro,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

the ip address of ouya is 192.168.1.16 and the nas server is 192.168.1.13

i create the teste folder at /sdcard to mount the volume there.

i don't know if ouya has support to mount nfs....

i try this command:

root@android:/ # find / -name *nfs*

the result is here:

/sys/module/nfs

/sys/module/nfs/parameters/nfs4_disable_idmapping

/proc/sys/fs/nfs

/proc/sys/fs/nfs/nfs_mountpoint_timeout

/proc/sys/fs/nfs/nfs_congestion_kb

/proc/sys/sunrpc/nfs_debug

/proc/sys/sunrpc/nfsd_debug

/proc/fs/nfsfs

/proc/fs/nfsd

so... i think the ouya has nfs support...

someone can help me...

thk very much...

im trying to use this because i installed XBMC at ouya and i would like to use the nfs to share my videos in NAS server....

.....

other information... my nas server is a synology ds212j... on my desktop machine i able to mount the partition, only at ouya i have problems...

excuse-me for my poor english.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonardopires:
NFS Works!

I root the ouya and install busybox.

I use adb connection to mount command that comes with busybox to mount nfs!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rrrccc01:
Greetings,

I have an imate pDA2k wich has a nifty app called Simmanager (SIM_mgr.exe). I also have an IPAQ 6315 for work which does not have the app. I copied the exe from the PDA2k to the IPAQ and all is well, but...

It appears that SIMManager interfaces with Contacts and adds "copy to sim" to the contacts menu.

Maybe I'm way off base, but I think if Simmanager is installed normally, i.e. via a cab file the menu option would apear in contacts.

Soooo, does a Simmanager.cab file exist? If so where is it? An I "way off base". Is there another way for me to get the Copy to Sim option to show up of the IPAQ contacts menu?

I've seen this posted in lots of places with no real solution. Is the solution out there?

Tanx in advance
