[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smilingcruel:
I have a SGS2 GTI9100 (international) which I kept for charging in night. Next morning when I tried to power on the device it was not working. No recovery no download no charging indicator etc...

I tried changing battery

I tried usb jig

Both the above things didnt worked.

I went to Samsung service center in Hurst Texas USA and they told me they dont check the international version....

I went to another repair service and they did a diagonostic service and they told me that "due to power surge Processor might have failed" and they dont know how to proceed further....

Any way to repair these kind issues.....any good repair centers in cities like Fortworth, Irving, Plano, Dallas in Texas....any one from these places who can recommend a good service center who cann rwpair this....:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smilingcruel:
Any one please???:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Very few people in the US use I9100's (on here at least), and even fewer post in this forum these days. You're far better off asking in one of the active forums devoted to one of the US variants, you could be waiting a very long time for an answer here.

Edit - However, a bit of 'generic' advice; specific fix if you want to keep the phone is replace the motherboard (replacing individual components on the board isn't feasible) - a Samsung authorised repairer can give you a new board, but this is the expensive option. A cheaper option is to source a 2nd hand board online yourself, and pay a local mobile repair shop to swap the board (they might also be able to source the board for you).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smilingcruel:
Thanks sir.

Any advice on how to search for the mother board online? Appreciate your help...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
A Google search will normally do it, but I believe KeithRoss39's USB charger board replacement guide thread in General (do an advanced search on his username or search for 'Replacing USB charger board) has a list of parts suppliers, which should give you a start.

Hi,

I have a Sandisk Ultra II, with 2GB working with my Qtek 2020, rom ver 1.72.

At first there was a little issue regarding the system not recognizing it, but formatting the card in the unit solved this.

Now I have a question regarding 4GB... Does anyone knows if this is possible.

Thanks and see you!

Cook your own MBN with several clicks!

View attachment 2823692

Choose tweaks you want

Add something new directly to file content if you're a cool dev

Change phone model if you have Neo or Odyssey

Flash your phone without huge .wp8 file or dangerous fakeROM

This tool supports both WP8 and WP8.1 (all tweaks are compatible) and any Samsung WP8 phone.

This tool supports flashing via latest WP8.1 bootloader, but custom CSC doesn't work on latest FW!

MBN Creator can be used to flash ANY mbn file.

Copy file "csc.mbn" to the same folder where you have MBN Creator.

Open the tool.

Don't click "create", go straight to flash dialog.

Going to test sooner or later. Since I last used the flashing tool, the Odyssey has been odd since. Cant lock the screen. just pressing it does nothing. holding it will give me the shutdown prompt, but then the phone will turn back on like a reboot. Not sure what happened with it beyond that.

Sorry for the trouble but I have another question about the tool.

What is the difference between Bootstrap and Basic in the Capabalities unlock menu?

Pd: Does it exist a way to edit the mbn files? Because I've been doing some test with my Ativ S and each time that I want to add something new to my mbn I have to do a new one.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Bootstrap unlocks only one capability needed by EnableAllSideloading. Like BootstrapSamsung does.

Basic unlocks the same capabilities as wolfROM.

re: kernel

I bet you have not tried to flash a compatible custom kernel.

If your phone is an N9005 then flash this kernel below:

http://whatever.host-base.de/kernel/hlte/custom-n3-clean-0.98-eur.zip

If all else fails, why not flash a non-experimental Kitkat 4.4.2

TW based full feature custom rom. (There are so many good ones)

Good luck!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newFool:
Hello, thankyou for your reply

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3GATROLL:
HI, in dialer if you wite this code *#06# have you the same IMEI write behind your battery ?

have you make backup before ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AO7:
I experienced the exact same problem.

1. settings > about phone > status

Do you still have an IMEI listed? If yes, we must first backup your EFS, FSG, FSC partitions. Use EFSBackup tool from this thread and save backup somewhere securely.

2. Flash back to stock

If you were still on 4.3 flash 4.3 in order to keep the unlocked bootloader. Else flash 4.4 stock. Only flash the correct firmware from this list. You can figure out which device you have by using the Device Info feature of EFSBackup

This fixed the problem for me. Do not flash anything BEFORE making a backup of EFS, FSC, and FSC partitions. If you lose those you lose your IMEI, in that case it's pretty much finished.

Report back here with progress.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newFool:
1. Yes i have an IMEI

2. When i bought it, it had 4.3, then after i installed CM it was 4.4.2, which firmware do i flash ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3GATROLL:
If you have imei 0049.... or null/null it's EFS folder damaged (go to Samsung repair office)

With imei 0000, i have see guys fix this problem with flash .PIT File

Tried this but EFS doesnt seem to be able to detect when my phone is connected, i cant backup.

I used cwm to backup to sd card is this the same ?

is there another way to backup ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AO7:
OK I understand you still have IMEI?

Do not flash anything at the moment. We MUST first backup efs, fsc, and fsg blocks.

If the phone was only on 4.3 stock when you bought and and you have only flashed CM on it the bootloader is still 4.3

The bootloader is only upgraded when you flash 4.4 kitkat STOCK ROM. CM does not touch your bootloader.

What is the problem with EFSBackup? Did you enable root access for apps AND adb in the developer options menu?

I say again do not flash anything before we can get these backups. We can still fix the phone ATM.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newFool:
Thankyou for trying to help me.

Yes, When i go to: about phone > status > IMEI is still there.

Ok i wont flash anything until you guys say its ok.

I hope so

When i connect my phone to the computer, computer detects it.

I then run EFSbackup and it says "Device not connected, plug in USB cable"... even though phone is plugged in and is detected by my computer.

I am not sure how to enable root access for apps AND adb, im sorry. how do i do that ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AO7:
Assuming you have CM running do this:

Settings > About Phone > Build Number.

Tap the Build Number section 7 times in a row. A small message will pop up that says "You are now a developer".

Return to the settings menu. You will now see there's a new menu at the bottom called "Developer options". Enter that menu and scroll down to the section "DEBUGGING". Tap on "USB debugging" to enable it. A small window will pop up that asks you again if you want to enable debugging. Tap "OK".

If the phone was not yet connected with a USB cable to your computer do that now. After a few seconds a window will appear that display your computers authentication ID. It will ask you to allow access for that computer ID. Check the box that says something like "Do not ask again for this computer" and then tap "Allow" or "OK" (can't remember what it says).

Now scroll up a little bit in the Developer options menu until you see "Root access". It should currently say only "Apps". Tap the menu and select "Apps and ADB" from the popup.

When all that is done start EFSBackup again. It auto-detects if you did everything correctly as written here. Report back here with your progress.

Ok can you run adb from the command prompt or shell as root?

$ adb devices
$ adb root

does that allow you to restart the adb daemon in root mode?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newFool:
Here is a screenshot after running commands:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AO7:
I meant to run those commands on your computer's command prompt or shell with the phone connected to the computer.

EFSBackup needs root access to copy the information from your EFS partitions. It uses a progran called 'dd' to do that. But 'dd' needs access to your phone's /dev folder which requires root. In order to run dd with root privileges EFSBackup needs to run its' ADB in root mode. From what I can see your settings are correct, so we must first figure out why EFSBackup is not getting root access.

1. Open the command prompt your computer

2. Navigate to the folder where you extracted EFSbackup

3. Find a program called adb.exe

4. in the command prompt now run the following commands:

adb devices
adb root

When running the first command the command prompt should show you your device with status "online" or something similar.

The second command tries to start the adb daemon with root privileges. Come back here with the result.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newFool:
YES !

WE HAVE Progress !!! :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AO7:
Great!

1. Go to the Backup tab

2. Select Samsung Glaxy Note 3 (SNAPDRAGON) (or something similar) from the device filter selector in the top right part of the backup window

3. A list with partitions should appear on the left. To make it easy, just select all the partitions that you can.

4. Click backup and let the program work.

5. When the backup is finished, make a second backup.

6. Go find your backups in the EFSBackup folder and copy them to a second computer/usb drive/cloud

report back here when done.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newFool:

ok here we are
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AO7:
Now we have a full double backup of your efs, fsc, fsg, and all other partitions we can more or less safely flash again. You have a backup of your IMEI now so should it get erased during flashing you can restore it again so you won't end up with a phone that can't connect to any network on the planet.

Now we must figure out which version of stock firmware you need. Where did you buy your phone and if it was bound to a certain carrier (mostly US and AUS) which one is it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newFool:
Thanks man so much, so those backups that we just did contain all the info we need .. ie IMEI etc ?

Australian bought Telstra Phone, running on Telstra 4G.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AO7:
Yes. The IMEI on a note 3 seems to be spread over multiple partitions (probably efs, fsc, fsg). Since we have a double backup of everything you should be covered.

I've checked the Samsung firmware archive here and it seems your carrier Australia - Telstra has not yet updated to 4.4 KITKAT. The only firmware available is for 4.3

This is the download link for the latest TEL (Telstra) Stock rom and firmware as far as I can see on samsung-updates. We're going to reflash your phone back to stock. Because your IMEI is still showing and valid my suspiscion is that your modem got corrupted. Flashing stock will fix that.

It'll take a while to download. Post back here when you have the file and I'll walk you through the Odin flashing sequence.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaiser Wilhelm II:
Just bought this Tablet the other day and upon first setting it up (getting it onto my WiFi) I got a notification of a System Upgrade. I allowed it to do the suggested OTA update and after apparently downloading applying the update, the Tablet is now in an endless boot loop where it will go through the boot animation and then power off/on again. I can power it 'properly' off by holding down 'up volume' and power and can charge it from that state.

Is there any way of doing a hard reset? I've tried flashing it with the PC Companion and Sony Update Service but as soon as I attach the tablet via USB (with the 'down volume' button held) my PC instantly locks up as it displays a message about installing an SEMC driver. The PC I'm currently using is an old XP box so I guess it could be a problem with the PC .. will be trying it on my other Windows 7 machine when I get back to it.

This is all official updates .. and this is the first time the tablet has been used from taking it out of the box. Since I never actually got to use it apart from doing the initial setup, I'm pretty peeved and not at all impressed.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaiser Wilhelm II:
Well, to answer my own question I managed to update the tablet on my other PC, through the Sony Update Service. Luckily, that one didn't immediately lock when trying to install the SEMC driver and the process was relatively smooth. Now running Android 4.4.2

Lucky I actually had a second PC to use which worked .. and to be honest if I wasn't a techy sort of person who could self-fix the problem, that Tablet would be on its way back to the retailer by now.
