[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] XxArxAngelxX:
I've searched for hours for different solutions and have tried them all. I'm on my last leg, and I can't wrap my head around what is going on.

I'm running an S2 with ShoStock3 rom. It's been rooted for over a year now without any major hiccups at all. Last night, it froze on me. Usually when it does this, I just force-restart by holding the power button down until it cycles. Phone usually boots right back up, and I'm all set. This time it just stayed on the boot screen. For eternity. I let it sit like that for more than 45 min, and it never budged. Turn it off from the booth screen, it'll boot right back up. I can go into download mode, but not recovery, and every little trick I've tried works.

I've tried flashing new kernels with ODIN. Tried various recoveries, like Philz and even went as far as the one touch factory ROM and using the regular method for getting the stock ROM. Nothing. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Most people who have this problem only recently added a new ROM or modified something. I haven't touched the ROM, kernel, etc. for over a year before this happened.

ODIN never makes it far when trying to flash anything. It depends on what is being flashed. It never gets past nand read/write. It never gets past boot.bin. It never gets past factory.img. Etc. Etc. I don't know if maybe something isn't going through between computer and phone, and that's why I'm not having success or what in the world is going on. Every tutorial or help I found confidently stated that all you have to do is flash this kernel, go to recovery, clear cache, and you're all set. But I feel like I'm the odd man out.

I'm afraid that this won't see much attentions, as the S2 is far from new, but like I said I am on my last leg. I just don't understand how it stops working from cycling power. I also don't understand how every attempt doesn't even scratch the surface. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
The most basic step is to verify you're using the correct button combo to get into recovery: power+both volume keys, then release after the second Samsung logo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
^^ while the device is NOT USB connected to a computer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Actually, you're lucky. This device is so popular, even though is it getting old, that there are still a handful of knowledgeable people hanging around.

You need to get into recovery. As Steve and Cyril have said, try the correct button combination, and post back here to verify that you are using the correct combo and that it will not go into recovery.

If you do get into recovery, perform a wipe data/factory reset and see if that gets your phone to boot into the system.

If you are unable to get into the recovery with the correct combo, then you may have one of several possible issues. The first possibility to troubleshoot is nand read/write corruption. Do the following:

Instructions to clear nand read/write corruption. Instructions are specific; do them in order, and don't skip.

Odin3 v1.85 is recommended.

1) Download the SBL Bootloader from the Download Repository. Flash it as PDA in ODIN, without ticking Re-Partitioning. (Please observe normal bootloader flashing caution.)

2) Download the Tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash it in PDA. Without ticking Re-Partitioning

3) Flash the Tar.md5 of the full stock Gingerbread distribution from the Download Repository, I777UCKH7 including the bootloaders and everything, in the PDA slot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] XxArxAngelxX:
I have done the correct button combination for recovery, I promise you that. It brings up Samsung logo first, cuts off, and brings it up a second time, but releasing does nothing. I've tried it several times with different delays as well.

I've actually tried this. On step one, it hangs up on "NAND Write Start!!", just like everything else that tries to get flashed.

To clarify, I should be flashing the I777 UCKH7 sbl.tar file, correct?

Luckily for me I qualified for a free upgrade from ATT for an S4, but I don't want to give up on this phone just yet. Especially with all of the data I have yet to recover from it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Yes, that is the correct secondary boot loader.

Next, you must assume that there is a connection problem between the phone and the computer. The micro usb port, the cable, the usb port on the computer and the computer itself are all possible weak links in the connection. So try different cables, different ports on the computer, escpecially one directly connected to the mother board, even try a different computer. You can not proceed until you can get the phone to receive a flash and pass. A few people have even reported that they finally were able to complete a flash just by trying repeatedly over and over until it finally passed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] XxArxAngelxX:
Tried using different computer. Brand new cord. Multiple times tried. Different ports. I dunno, it's doing the same thing. It stops whenever it gets to NAND Write Start.

EDIT: Tried something I saw in another thread. Used stock binary with pit file. Never finished, so aborted it. Now phone doesn't come on at all for any reason whatsoever. -.- Pretty sure I fried it
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lobato.1992@gmail.com:
Few days ago I tryied to increase the 4.4 gb of memory of my CM11 grand duos using a script of a CM 11 S duos (that worked for that phone) and SURPRISE... now my system recognize 2 sd cards: sdcard0 and sdcard1. Because of that any stuff I try to install directly in sd card goes to internal memory and I get to transfer it manually to the correct SD Card. I would like to some gentlemen help me with sending the original script (the one that when you make the change for swapping) for starting from zero, I mean to let it the way it have to be (or the way Developer want it to be)! Thank you all very much!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ToastyZ71:
My S4 was on MK2 rooted, but since the TowelRoot came out, I wanted to upgrade. So I unfroze all the system apps, used the Unroot option in SuperSU and rebooted....

BUT I FORGOT TO DISABLE/UNINSTALL XPOSED FRAMEWORK. FACEPALM!!!!

I've tried wiping cache/data, downloading the update.zip in stock recovery (now trying download mode install just to try something else) but I can't get the phone to be recognized by Odin (3.09) or the Verizon update/recovery tool. The only time I was able to get ADB to recognize was in recovery when using the appy update with ADB mode, but each time I try it finds the extra stuff where Xposed left it. Is there any hope of rescuing this phone???

Please help if you can?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ToastyZ71:
Well strike another dumb moment for me... booted into download mode, and now Odin 3.07sees the phone (still not 3.09) and so does Verizon restore, so hopefully one of those does the trick, Sheesh I feel dumb. lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ToastyZ71:
aaand back to sqare one. verizon repair gets to 83 percent, but then the phone disconnects the USB and won't continue. Next, tried Odin, and that fails to write to the phone as well... I'm stuck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Try re installing the USB drivers. I've had good luck with the one found in the SafeRoot thread myself.

Also what file are you using in Odin?

I'd say at this point just go for the full wipe nc5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ToastyZ71:
Well it took a couple of things, but it's alive again. The first USB cable crapped out on me in the middle of the process, so swapped cables, and odin/verizon sua could see the phone. I was using Surge's link to full wipe MK2 and associated PIT file. I got the PIT file to load, but the image file kept falling with auth failures. Somewhere in there, whether Odin repartitioned the phone or what, the phone finally got to the "Firmware update has encountered a problem" screen, prompting to restore with Kies. I couldn't get Kies to not lock up, so I tried Verizon SUA again, and well whaddya know, NC5 installed. Grabbed TowelRoot straight away, and all good now, minus the fact that my Titanium BU apparently went to the emulated sd card... Ugh. But hey, at least I don't have a brick!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] XT444:
If I switch to TMobile now will I still get the KitKat update from ATT when it is released? Using ATT Note 2 unlocked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Negative..

The carrier dependent information will be different when using the ATT device on T-Mobile....

You'll need the MK7 modem to get the device working...along with the t-mobile sim card...

ATT will not recognize the device...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] XT444:
Thanks. Once it is available from samsung can I use Kies to push the update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pckarma112:
Wait. Are you saying he would have to flash the t mobile modem too? In order to use phone on t mobile?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] XT444:
I'm on t mobile now and did not change anything. Using the MK6 modem that came with the 4.3 ATT upgrade a while back.

Only functionality that I lost was hotspot that is blocked by some ATT system files.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mexigga:
[MENTION=3927388]gregsarg[/MENTION]. I thought if I flashed T-Mobile modem on i317 it would mess it up...? :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
No issues if you are on the tmo network...

Many users have ATT devices using mk7 modems for tmo...

It's the only way to get full device function...

But if an ATT modem is working fine for you...there is no problem leaving it if you prefer...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mexigga:
I see. I'm gonna give it a try then. Always been hesitant due to all the warnings about bootloops from [MENTION=1840999]Bajanman[/MENTION] and others...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mexigga:
Flashed mk7. No signal. Baseband unknown. That sucks

Back to mk6 and no LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pckarma112:
Curious. Did flashing mk6 back fix it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mexigga:
MK6 fixed signal, yes.

I want to root it because, ts system storage is of 1GB , which is not enough for me. And internal storage of 16 GB, it tried lot to install apps in 16GB storage but all fail.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue boy:
Rooted but not Bricked

Hi there those interested. I have been procrastinating due to illness but I have located an update image and loaded it onto my external SD card. After installing Kingroot which gave me access to the root directory, and a file manager which could manipulate root, I moved the update IMG to the root. Howerever, when I rebooted, it seems the r/w reverted to r/o and caused an error. Subsequent attempts to run the update removes the .IMG file from the root before it can suggest the upgrade. I suspect the culprit is Kingroot which knows that an upgrade will uninstall it. I have reset to factory data and was able to disable Kingroot but it still hangs in there waiting.

Amazingly, the unwanted .IMG file has been moved to the inaccessible internal storage.

My next option is to try a rooting method that doesn't take over my system. Any suggestions?

There options for removing Kingroot but they seem to just replace it with similar monsters.

Also, 'root genius' is a method which is used from a PC. Has anyone any experience with this?

I guess the device is rushing on to 3 years old and any owners and users may have moved on to later androids.

However, I find the device still quite useable for my old eyes. I just wish I did not need to clear out data to download app updates.

Any help would be appreciated

Any help?

I had the same issue - good news is all is not lost, the bad news is the only way I fixed it was with a hard reset. I think the default ozVga settings are incompatible with something. Theres a post on here with settings that work, and another post with an alternate app that works. I'll try and find them and post the link.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Guru Meditation:
Try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=267568&highlight=ozvga+select+exit

I used the mrtruevgax51 app successfully - I don't think it has as much configurability (is that a word?) as ozVGA, but does the trick. Haven't tried the settings, but if you're doing a hard reset, you could give it a go first.

Anyone know how to get around this without a hard reset?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbressman:
I'm pretty happy with my Sprint LG G2 (although not with Sprint - since switching to the LG G2 from a GS3 it's been horrible - am still working with them to resolve everything), but lately my phone has been getting extremely hot at times and this definitely seems to contribute to the battery draining faster. It definitely seems to happen when I take my phone out (i.e. when driving, not on my home WiFI network and in my home, etc.). I'm wondering if anyone has any good tips for trying to figure out what might be causing this and how I can get better battery life and avoid these heat-ups/battery drains?

I already tried disabling the Sprint Connections Optimizer, and now I'm wondering if the constant connection/disconnection from Optimum WiFi hotspots (since I'm an Optimum customer and have enabled my phone to connect to Optimum hotspots when in range) could be causing this?

Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vPro97:
Well there are a few points to consider:

First off, your phone will get hot no matter what - but how hot is it? If it's above 40 degrees celcius (above 104 fahrenheit) then there's something to it. If it's staying below that temperature, that's perfectly normal.

What could be causing that? Well, as you pointed out, Sprint has a lot of bloat, and that could definitely contribute to the battery drain and increased temperature. But it could also be some rogue app running in the background. If you aren't rooted, it's extremely difficult to find the culprit.

Another thing:

When I'm home and connected to a WiFi all time, I can get 5-5.5 hours of SOT with about 24-40 hours of standby.

When I'm travelling, I only seem to get 3.5-4 hours of screen on time with much less standby time. That's how it is, and trust me, I've done my best to figure out what to do without rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] SMACk-DAB:
What's up fellers! Been gone a long time and know I am back. I got a deal on a I527 and found out the guy used a Metro-PCS sim. I didn't realize this until after I put my SIM in and saw ATT. I didn't see that when he had his SIM in there.

I read the 5 or 6 posts on not being able to make or take a call from a TMOBILE setup but since this may be a little different I thought I would post and give it a shot.

My symptoms are no calls (does nothing then emits a single beep then hangs up). Does the same when dialing out. 4G and everything else works 100% Phone is fast boots quick charges fast no complaints anywhere except the stinking call issue.

I used KIES to reload the stock ROM. Took about 20 minutes and completed. Still no calls. Here are the details

Phone has the ATT logo on back, says SGH-i527, has I527UCUAMK2 all 3 places. I talked to ATT customer service and they said the IMEI points to a SGHNM819N. But nothing on the phone indicate metro PCS.

I use to hack back in the ATT Tilt days. Not anymore. I had a small stroke and can't do all this complex stuff anymore. If someone points me in the right direction I can follow instructions but it seems to have gotten a lot more cumbersome to do these days.

All I am looking for is bone stock reset where everything works. I can wait for KitKat to come out so I would like a clean fix.

My sim is a ATT. The service agent online assured me the SIM was fine. My old phone was a Skyrocket that got wet. So the MEGA needed a smaller SIM. I picked it up today and swapped phones.

Thanks for any help and I am willing to pay for someone's quick help. I use the phone for work and right now I am pinched.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] alarmguy48195:
I had a similar experience when I bought a used mega, picked up full signal, eveything worked except that I couldn't make or receive calls, I just got a single beep. I even went to an at&t store and got a new sim card, still didn't work.

The guy who helped me at the store said the sim tray was bad, made it sound like it was a common. Issue. gave me the number to the warranty dept, said they might cover it. I called them told them what happened and what the rep told me at the store.

They sent me a replacement at no charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] banks2878:
my phone done that when my imei was replaced with a galaxy s4's imei. I finially found a guy that put the imei from another i527 into my phone, he also replaced that sticker behind the battery from the mega he used to fix mine so everything matches :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] SMACk-DAB:
I took a look and sure enough the IMEI on the phone is different than the sticker in the back. I googled about 6 different IMEI sites US and EU based and checked out both numbers. Every single site says both comeback good. Nothing stolen or odd. A couple of site said not locked. I would like to have matching IMEI numbers. I would like the one used on the label. How hard is it to get rid of the one on the phone and make it match the label.

I don't think ATT will let me swap this out for a new one. I am not the original owner and there is no insurance on it.

Thanks

I wasn't the original owner and didn't have insurance, just had service with at&t. The phone hasn't been out for a year, so it's under warranty unless something shady was done to it. In my case the numbers all matched.
