Greetings all,

I am currently in possession of a note II which has never been rooted or unlocked. At the moment it is soft bricked and cannot get past the Samsung bootloader logo into the ROM.

In recovery mode, it cannot mount to any of the internal partitions (system, cache, data, efs etc). As a result, I cannot flash any stock or custom firmware onto the device via Odin whether that be v3.0.9, v3.0.7 or v1.83. The procedure fails after attempting to write to the NAND. When flashing a new PIT file on, the procedure freezes at "get PIT for mapping" so I presume the PIT in the system is corrupted.

I cannot connect to any partition, not even in GParted. As a result, it is essentially bricked. I cannot access it via adb (since there's no partition for it to write over) or fastboot. Factory reset fails too. The recovery on the system is the very limited stock recovery.

The firmware it is running is: KOT.49H.N7100XXUFNE1

Except from resetting via JTAG, any suggestions would be greatly appriciated. :o

Many Thanks

Hi, thank you for issued XDA Assist. It sounds like you know what you're doing and have tried everything. But take a look at this,http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2154890. There may be some help there. If not JTAG may be you're only option
[XDA Assist] hello80sign:
Hmm, thanks for the reply, though that guide assumes the phone can find the partitions for remapping which is the stage I'm stuck on. It then suggests to reflash the bootloader which failed on me as well so not really getting anywhere.. :rolleyes:

I was flashing back to stock on my GS4 by Odin today and when it was finished, I found out my entire enteral storage was wiped. The folders are still there, but all contents are gone. Is there anyway to recover my photos and such? Thanks any help!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Quicksilver13:
Does anyone here know if there is a i777 compatible kernel for the galaxy s2 i9100 5.1 lollipop roms . I have tried using Shift- Eternal- lollipop kernel. It was compatible with the i9100 5.0 lollipop CM Resurrection_remix ROM, but I have not been able to get it to work with the 5.1 release.. I have tried replacing the boot image file from cyanide L 5.1. It boots but there is no wifi or Mobile data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
No, sorry. [MENTION=5554845]rogersb11[/MENTION]'s kernel is pretty much the only game in town now. It's possible (purely speculative) that you've run into problems because he builds his own kernel instead of CM's, and RR is basically CM with added features so you would need a pure CM kernel to port.

Again, that's a guess, as that's how it used to work. He's posted an update to his rom; did you try pulling the kernel from that update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Quicksilver13:
Steve, thanks for taking the time to reply. I was afraid that was the case. Rogerb11 first 5.1 release was without his lollipop kernel. he stated that he was having problems with his kernel with wifi. I tried porting that kernel and I believe that it just boot looped. His second release with his kernel booted, but then I experienced problems with wifi and mobile. Hopefully he will release a 5.1 standalone kernel that can be ported over to the i9100 ROMs.

The truth is I have not been able to find a stable lollipop rom yet for my phone. The closest was resolution remix 5.02. and I was wanting to try the 5.1 version. Will keep checking the forum. Thanks again

Hi,

Is there a way to turn the universal off?

When removing the battery and inserting it again, it reboots automatically. The standby powerdrain is quite hefty and it will only survive for a few days.

So I want to store the universal for say 3 - 4 weeks without it draining the battery completely.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Reinier
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dutchrhino:
ok found a tool which reportedly can do it:

http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/

just wondering though.... if device is turned off like this..

how often should battery be recharged (in order to keep it in tact)?

cheers

Reinier
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dutchrhino:
Okay,

this tool only puts the machine in standby mode.... But I want the thing to turn off completely. :(

Is the only way just to remove the battery and keep it next to the device??

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mavrik64:
Why don't you just take the Battery out of the device? You won't loose any info etc. Should be fine.

Having said that, I'm using WM6 at the moment, and when I reinsert the battery, the device doesn't boot untill I press the on button (handy).

Cheers

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superbass311:
someone gave me a galaxy tab 10.1 GT-N8013 tablet and it came with

ROM: BlissPop Version 2.0 and

Kernel Version 3.0.64-CM-g604ba8fnerdyblonde@buildbox.blissroms.com #2

I want Gnabo very bad so I can take advantage of the S-Pen. My tab came with TWRP and I reflashed it to ClockWorkMod Recovery v6.0.3.6 using Odin. The one in the instructions. Everything worked fine. I then added my files to the external SDcard and wiped all my caches I tried to install Gnabo_Rom_v8.zip from external SDcard and after it gave me an error saying "e:\can't open bla bla bla and (bad). See attached picture. Installation aborted. I also tried to flash the kernel and same error. Can anyone please help me! if they can who knows. I might send them a gift on paypal!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rbgCODE:
Yes, I have been syncing the github repos for the Kali project nethunter, and I understand that not all people know how to compile their own code and make changes, would anyone be interested in me posting the updated flash-able files here so that you can download and use them? I will also be making a fork off their project to try and specialize in the S 5 hardware instead of nexus.

Thoughts are welcome and appreciated.

Here is trial # 1 Nethunter on top of kitkat deox thanks to Extreme Syndicate

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] davidhacks:
Yes

I have always wanted to use kail apps on our phone
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] tsew2674:
Forgive my ignorance, but just so I'm clear. Are you talking about making the individual apps available or porting the entire ROM over to the S5. If it's the entire ROM, I wouldn't think that the retail version of the Verizon S5 would be able to run it due to the locked bootloader, however the Developer's Edition may be able to. I think it's a pretty awesome idea, I've got Kali installed on a live Flash Drive that I use occasionally, and in fact, I think I still have an old version of BackTrack installed on an old laptop that's laying around. I've never used it as a main computer and only booted up to it when I had a specific need (or just had free time and wanted to sniff around to see what I could find), I mostly use it at work to try to test security features from time to time.

I'll have to read up on project nethunter but are people using it as a daily driver?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rbgCODE:
You are correct I would be talking about porting the actual entire project over to run on samsung devices. It already has limited samsung supoprt, it would be a matter of testing it and tuning it, testing it and tuning it, right now I currently have an s5 running Liquid Smooth 4.4.4 with Kali Linux as well as Lolli 5.0.1 with kali, and yes there are some errors and it needs to be modified but if there is enough interest I would have no problem branching off and working on this.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] tsew2674:
Sounds good, but sadly I won't be able to take advantage of it until someone is able to unlock the bootloader on the Verizon retail model. If you post this in the General S5 thread instead of the Verizon one (you may have, I didn't check), you'll probably get more of a response. Good luck!

On a side note, I downloaded one of the Nexus nethunter Roms and see there are some apk's, a nethunter.apk in particular but I'm guessing these are bound pretty tightly to the kernel and it would be foolish to install it on a ROM other than Kali, is that about right?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rbgCODE:
Just so you know, I am building these in linux but I am using them on my verizon stock samsung s5, I have made 4 builds so far, 2 which you flash over 4.4.4 or 5.x and then 2 that include the verizon Roms 4.4.4 and 5.1 with the nethunter project included. I don't have an "unlocked bootloader" as far as I know, and it is working for me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] donbudafuko:
So ur saying ur flashing them with safestrap? If not then ur using twarp or cmw recovery an u would have a unlocked bootloader..just checking...even tho not sure what this 2 projects r :) got links to there sits?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] tsew2674:
Whhaaaatttttt, are you sure? You mentioned earlier that you running LiquidSmooth and as far as I know you must have an unlocked bootloader to install anything other than a TouchWiz based, Samsung signed Rom. If there's a method around this, please, do tell, but I'd guess you must have a different variant than the retail VZW S5. Does your model number read SM-G900V?

At any rate, if you running nethunter inside of a verizon ROM, I'd be interested in taking a look at it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] G2sws:
Bring it on. I'll try anything.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rbgCODE:
Lets agree to disagree lol

I amsure that I do not have an unlocked bootloader, I am going to take a picture of it right now, but just because a rom usually uses the aroma installer doesnt meaen you cant rebuild and change it. yes right now I can upload files for people to test, phone and everything works and this is basically ow it is going to work.

1. I can post files you flash over your favorite 4.4.4 version, or your favorite lollipop version, or if we can decide on the best roms to use this with, I can build the nethunter right into that rom so it would be a single flash.

Let me get some SS's of what I am running now, I was running LS3.2 before now I dont even know, I flash my phone more often then I change my underwear and I am so dedicated to programming I forget to make it to the potty alot. So think about that.. not to much but yeah. And a thumbs up if you can relate lol.

What would you like to see screenshots of? My upload scren, my status screen or if you would just like to pick your favorite 4.4.4 rom, like bob7 deox which is crazy small and light, then I will just compile them and upload them you can try them yourself. At most I just have to save the changes for the teensy style attacks and I had to make changes to how the wireless chipset responded to a monitor type mode.

Does anyone at all disagree with me using ExtremeSyndicate_v5_Deo_BOB7.zip for the simplicity of the install and I will build the nethunter software right into the flash, so that you can test.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GuestK00461:
Can someone explain in simple terms what is going on before I get my hopes up? Bc I'm reading we are able to flash custom roms over or retail locked verizon s5s? Or just apks? If we could use custom lollipop roms that would be amazing!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] xlogix:
That's not a bad ROM to build it into. That or the oc4 factory by jkruse. Don't forget to ask the Dev first....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GuestK00461:
This sounds amazing if I understand right... We will be able to use custom roms on locked verizon galaxy s5? Just make sure you use a verizon based galaxy rom, but i think the one you mentioned above is good... This sounds amazing and feedback will be incredible from the locked verizon s5 population!

Edit: screen shots would be awesome, and maybe if your about phone section and some few pics of home screen, settings, notification panel.... thanks :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GuestK00461:
A lollipop based liquidsmooth rom for our locked phones would be amazing!

Edit: I keep rereading over [MENTION=4525142]rbgCODE[/MENTION] 's posts and keep getting more excited! Running a custom lollipop Rom on this device? Holyyyyyy ;)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rbgCODE:
Ok, I have them compiled and tested on my samsung s5, seems to be working well enough for some other people to try, I will be uploading 4 different versions.

Just saw this right now, I will get some screen shots uploaded asap.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GuestK00461:
Sweet! I was confused from before but can you like "port" Liquidsmooth to this device on lollipop? Nethunter would be cool but having LS too on lollipop would be insane! Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rbgCODE:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rbgCODE:
I modified the liquid smooth repo and removed the aroma installer and made changes for personal use, I will get ahold of them and ask if they would have any problems with me forking off and finalizing a lilli version for handing out, just since it isnt my code just changes I made to it i want to get their permission first.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GuestK00461:
That would be amazing! You would get so much love from the community for that! That's awesome dude!

Edit: and just to make sure, we would get all the features like the Google looking aosp notification panel pull down and all that stuff?

Also, how did you flash the rom? Through safestrap or flashfire?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rbgCODE:
Yes, all of that would be included, I used safestrap to install it and like I had said as long as liquid is ok with me forking and releasing versions under lolli I am all about that. I have, I know you cant tell from my post count, but used this site for years it is about time I give something back and if it is something people would like then hell all the better.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
This sounds incredible bro! The amount of support you will get will be amazing! I seriously can't wait, I'm praying liquid approves this! Does liquid come with color customizable options too? I'm just curious how much of the liquid rom we would get (like color features and other treats)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rbgCODE:
Yes, you can download and use themes with liquid, right now I am using
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
Oh my!! If you could port over the stock lollipop liquidsmooth rom, I will have no choice but to donate ;) wow!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] tsew2674:
It all sounds great, any chance we can get a screenshot of the about phone?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
[MENTION=4525142]rbgCODE[/MENTION] if there is anything I can do to help the process of liquidsmooth come to this verizon locked phone, please lmk, I want it asap along with a bunch of others!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rbgCODE:
Thanks for letting me know, I am working on it right now, I have rebuilt it a few times and ran into a wireless problem, rebuilding again right now. Please ignore the donate button I am really just doing this to help out I use these forums all the time.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
I can't wait! This is going to be so sick that we can finally get Liquidsmooth!

Also, if you could tell us info. About the rom and stuff like what firmware is recommended and what version of liquidsmooth you are going to use for lollipop! I'm so excited for this if you can't tell already ;)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] mrjiggywiggy:
Just to be clear is this the kitkat version? I know you said it in your post but when I go to download it it says bob7, which is a lollipop build. Also, do you flash this one over or is it a new install?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
[MENTION=4525142]rbgCODE[/MENTION] if you need someone to test out liquid smooth lollipop, I will be glad to help!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jayyskittles:
I'm actually currently running the build you posted on my G900V and it just appears to be the extreme debloat. Am I missing something?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
It should have nethunter too. He is still currently working on liquidsmooth for lollipop
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] tsew2674:
I downloaded the zip to examine the contents and couldn't find any reference to the nethunter files that were in the nexus versions that I downloaded straight from the nethunter website. Note: I'm no expert and could have easily overlooked something.

I hate to be a skeptic, but it's a pretty big statement to say you can get past the locked bootloader and run a custom rom that requires a custom kernel on a device that thus far has had no success in doing so. I've not seen anything that confirms anything that has been said, even the screenshots show soft keys at the bottom, which are typically not used on Samsung ROMs. I'm not calling the guy a liar, but I'm afraid that he may be mistaken on some of the info...

Of course, I could be totally wrong and will look like a jerk when he proves me wrong (which I honestly hope he does).
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
I just hope he wasn't talking about the Verizon Google play edition with the unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] zimgir124:
All this is for me is the extreme debloat. I'm not sure if you included everything, but for me all this is is the extreme debloat.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
I'm sure he would know the difference the Google play version and locked verizon retail. Hopefully he can give us some guidance!

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

He also said it was a trial so I believe something could be wrong... hopefully he is talking about the G900V tho
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] mrjiggywiggy:
There is no gpe, just an unlocked bootloader, and even if he did make it for the unlocked bootloader this rom wouldn't boot up.

I'm going to look at the contents and see if I can find anything.

Edit: No useable app I could find in the system nor any changes from the extreme syndicate rom. In fact, everything is the same, including the file size. Either you uploaded the wrong file, forgot something, or lied, but I think it's just a mistake.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
I just hope his liquidsmooth rom runs and works properly!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rbgCODE:
All of thee files have finally been uploaded, now compiling and uploadng the lolli versions which will include lolli, MOAR and Alliance

Any other requests?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] mrjiggywiggy:
To install these (I just looked at both of the aliiance files) do you install them as kernels, roms, or do you flash them over roms? The kernel-kali and the update-kali are different sizes, except the kernel-kali is double the size and contains the update one.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rbgCODE:
The smaller files are if you want to flash over that current rom you are running, otherwise if you want to flash the rom with kali built in, that is why the files are almost double the size. I got the ok from liquid so right now i am working on the port over to install everything and have it working without the aroma installer and then I will have the liquid installer, then liquid with nethunter installed in it as one flash.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jayyskittles:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] mrjiggywiggy:
I don't know how or if liquidsmooth will work, but there is a locked bootloader, meaning that non stock kernel based roms won't install. If he gets it to work, I'll be super excited. I'd suggest searching up kali and nethunter and looking at what you find. In simple terms it's just a toolkit for testing penetration on computers, but more detail is available.
