[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nilee:
Hi. I wanted to install Android on my HD2 but for that I need radio versions 2.08 - 2.12. And currently my radio version is 2.06 so I wanted to flash it to 2.10 or one of them between 2.08-2.12. For this I used Custom RUU. Everything went well untill it said installing, and it went to 4% and then suddenly my phone reboots and then on my computer it says "Error 270. The image file is corrupted. Please check your Update Utility."

Well what have I done wrong?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
Did you have install HSPL on your device?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nilee:
Yes I have installed HSPL. But if you have installed HSPL, is it then supposed to show "HSPL" somehere on the bootloader screen? Because on mine it doesn't.

But then that's weird because I did install HSPL and it even said succesfull. But still I get the same error when I try to flash the radio.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huggs:
Go into bootloader by holding the VOL- (down) button, while pressing the End Call button to boot up your phone from being all the way turned off.

Check on your bootloader (tri-color) screen for the letters HSPL and the name Cotulla.

If these things are not present, then for some reason you don't have HSPL installed.

If this is the case, stay in bootloader, and re-run HSPL, and then check again in your bootloader to make sure you have HSPL, and then re-flash the custom_ruu

Chances are it just didn't take because your phone didn't have HSPL for whatever reason. You might want to re-download the radio ROM just to be sure you didn't get a corrupted/incomplete download.

Good luck:)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saurabh88:
but what a shame that my pc even doesnt play with custom ruu.nothitng happen when i click.i have everything installed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nilee:
Ok, then my HSPL isn't installed. But that's real' weird. Because when I install HSPL everything goes okay and it even says "Succesful" etc. I've tried to install HSPL for like 4 times and it always says installation completed, but however it doesn't show anything like HSPL or Cotulla on the bootloader screen. And I do have SPL 1.42.0000, which is required to install HSPL. And I also disabled my anti-virus so what have I done wrong?

By the way: When I go to bootloader mode it always goes to a grey screen first with blue words "Loading" and after a few seconds it says "Not allow" and after that it finally goes to bootloader mode. Is it supposed to be like that or what's wrong with this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
did you use hspl3 and not changing the dropdown from its default 2.08.0000 which is stock. run it again and make sure the dropdown ends .hspl

anti virus program give you a hit when you first downloaded it?

many times the file gets disabled so you need to download it again, even if you turned off the av or told it to allow customruu.

also right click and "run as administrator" even if you are logged in as admin.

there's a leoimg on your sd card (or your phone thinks there is) but it isn't starting. remove the card.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nilee:
Ok, well I used HSPL 2 and it installed correctly. HSPL 1 however didn't work for me. After I installed HSPL 2 it clearly said something like HSPL 2.08 on the bootloader screen. So I tried to flash to a new radio with CustomRUU. It all went well, untill it was installing and suddenly said: CONNECTION ERROR CRITICAL ERROR or something like that. It also said that the USB cradle or something was unconnected, however it was still connected and I didn't even touch it. After that my phone rebooted and went into bootloader mode again. The weird thing is that it doesn't say HSPL 2.08 anymore. Now t says SPL 1.42 again so the HSPL went away or something. I tried to reboot the phone (using the red button at the back of the phone) but it went into bootloader mode again. Well, all it does is go into bootloader mode. I can't even get to the normal thing again, only the bootloader mode. What the hell have I done wrong?

By the way: If I'm in bootloader mode all it says is this:

HX-BC

SPL-1.42.0000 XE <-- (before this it still had HSPL but now it went away)

MicroP-Wrong Platform (0x0)

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30

Can anyone help me? Have I bricked my phone?? :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
Just a question/suggestion,

Did you already thought to use/install the latest stock ROM 3.14 !?

the reason of this suggestion is this stock ROM have Radio 2.15.50 already integrated (no need of HSPL) and it's compatible with Android.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nilee:
Well I didn't, I will try to do it. But I don't know how. Because my phone is still only able to get into bootloader mode. And it won't even charge it's battery..

So do I have to put the Stock ROM on my SD now, and flash it from the SD card?

I don't even know how much battery my phone still has..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
You can flash stock ROM when you are in bootloader mode.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nilee:
How?

By the way, my phone is in bootloader mode but it won't connect to the computer using a USB cable, it also won't charge it's battery.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
Ok, then rest you the flashing over SD.

Make attention to use the right stock ROM; use your S/N to get access at your stock ROM on the HTC webpage.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
deleted please ignore
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nilee:
Ok so I just extract the .exe and take the .nbh file of it and rename it to leoimg.nbh and put it on SD and start flashing?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
Yes; that"s it.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] anthraxcp:
Hi. A few days ago my Galaxy S stopped working. This is what happens:

The phone turns on, shows the Galaxy S logo and makes the usual sound, then a black screen appears. The back and menu touch buttons are lit up. It stays like this forever and nothing else happens.

Some info about my phone, it is the Bell i9000m version. I first got the updated Bell 2.1 firmware and about a week ago upgraded to Froyo through Kies. I haven't rooted the phone, or applied a lagfix or anything like that. My phone is completely stock other than the official firmware.

I can confirm that I HAVE gotten it into download mode (volume+home+power) and it shows that screen with the green android and text that says "Downloading. Do not shut off target" but that's it. Kies doesn't recognize the phone, even when it's in download mode.

I've already contacted Bell, and they want to take it in for repairs. From what I've read on this forum, I might be experiencing the corrupt SD card problem. Is there anything I can do to try and fix it before sending the phone off to bell? The loaner phone they gave me is awful.

Any help is appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] w98seeng:
Yup, sounds like the problem I had when my phone died. To make sure though, get into recovery mode, Volume up + Home key + Power. When the white Samsung name appears, let go the home button until the Samsung name disappears. The phone should go into recovery mode. If not, try it again but this time release the power button instead of the home button.

Once in recovery, go to factory reset and click the home button (This will wipe all data from your phone so you will have to reload all apps and data you installed). If it works, then you most likely have to re-flash the phone, but if you get a message like this...

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

then the internal memory is most probably cooked.

I have read that by using Odin and flashing the phone with JL2, the phone can self-repair the dead SD issue. Read about it here, the posters name is cloudrainstar, about half way down the page.

Where are you located? I am in Montreal and brought my phone into the service center and after 2 days they replaced it with a new phone. I feel lucky that some people have waited for weeks and I only waited 2 days.

Samsung - Service Absolut

3391 Griffith Street,

St. Laurent, Quebec,

H4T 1W5

514-738-8333

if you are not in Montreal Contact Samsung Electronics Canada Inc. @ 1-800-726-7864. They will send you a shipping label to return your phone directly to Samsung.

Good Luck,

Ian
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anthraxcp:
I tried the recovery thing just now. The factory reset happened very quickly but it said successful. However, this hasn't fixed the problem. Does that mean I'm ok to try and re-flash?

Bell tech support told me to try and factory reset, which I did. They said this is actually an INTERNATIONAL issue caused by the SOFTWARE. He said nothing about a dead SD card. Strange. Any other suggestions?

By the way, he said I shouldn't deal with Samsung directly because my warranty is with Bell. I live in Toronto if that makes a difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] w98seeng:
From what I have been reading, Bell has really bad tech support when it comes to the SGS. Contact Samsung at 1-800-726-7864 and ask them what is the best thing for you to do, send it to them or to Bell. I have heard about people waiting for more than 5 weeks to get a phone back from Bell.

As for it being an international issue, that is possible, but for the majority of people here on XDA, the problem is with the I9000M, Bell's version of the phone.

If you want to try to flash it your self, get the JL2 file from here and use Odin to flash it. Get Odin here.

Read up on flashing your phone

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723596

as I am not experienced enough to give flashing instructions.

Give it a shot, what do you have to lose?

Ian
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anthraxcp:
Hmm, I WANT to try and flash the phone but I'm really worried about messing it up. Can somebody tell me the possible risks of re-flashing it myself?

From what I understand, if I send my phone to samsung all they're going to do is reflash it anyways.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anthraxcp:
An update. I didn't see it at first, but in the recovery menu before using the system restore or other functions, it DID show that Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 error (no such file or directory). I guess I'm out of luck then.

To any bell galaxy s users, do you know if it's fastest to get this phone repaired through bell by phone, through bell at one of the service centers/stores, or through samsung directly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] w98seeng:
Defiantly through Samsung directly.

Why not give this a try, cloudrainstar said his phone worked after flashing JL2...

Here are some instructions...

Download this file, it's JL2 from Bell, many thanks to Chainfire for this.

http://www.multiupload.com/UTFJCCIP5H

Save it to your desktop. The file is called...

I9000M_JL2_JL2_JL2_JL2_UG_BMC

Uncompress it onto your desktop. you will have a file called: I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar

Leave the .tar file intact, do not uncompress that one.

Next, download Odin and also save it to your desktop and uncompress it.

http://www.filedude.com/download/JS0sHyCZ1C5a6d42b02d

Open Odin

Click on the PDA button and choose I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar from your desktop.

Do not click anything else!!

Put your phone into download mode, Volume Down + Home Button + Power Key

Plug your phone into the computer

Odin will see it and will look similar to this, though the com port might be different...

Click on Start and leave everything alone until Odin is finished. When Odin is finished the phone will reboot possibly two or three times. Give it a few minutes (possibly 10 min) to boot up.

If it continues to boot or if nothing happens after 15 min, you will have to send it to Samsung.

Hope this helps,

Ian
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anthraxcp:
Thanks for the tutorial! I'll try it out later.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anthraxcp:
An update. I tried that flash. Nothing. I also tried a ton of other flashes. I tried Jl2 again, followed by a SBL flash and even a speedfix kernel flash.

Still nothing! Now the samsung galaxy logo just flashes constantly after I turn the phone on.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] w98seeng:
So I guess you have to return it to Sansung. I would flash JL2 though as it has the i9000M on the flash screen showing it has a Bell Rom on it. If there is only a i9000 without the 'M', they might not warranty it because it was flashed.

I did this and everything was fine.

I think that the problem is not the phone - make sure the other side of things is working (test with another device).

[EVO 4G Accessories] mitchellvii:
The best way to apply that without dust under the cover is to clean it with a lint free cloth with alcohol while running a hot shower in the bathroom. The steam in the air prevents airbourne dust particles.

I hope you have better luck with the kickstand on that than I did.

I took the other way removed the screen cover and glue and put one on it I had forgot about. Kick stand is piss poor bit I rarely use it.

[EVO 4G Accessories] mitchellvii:
Kickstand is made of very fragile plastic and will pretty much shatter within a week on its own. Otterbox is doing a redesign as I write this. They will probably send everyone replacement kickstands.

I put my case on using the method described above and have never had even a speck of dust under the glass, but if breaking it worked for you I suppose that is one way to go. The screen that comes with it is outstanding, tough and very clear.

Once your kickstand falls apart you can call them and get a refund and they won't even ask for the case back - that is if you have a spare half hour to wait on hold for them to answer.

W t f just used my kickstand 1 time and it popped off.. and I can't get it back in to the slots

I might be way off, but I saw an app in the market called Button Remapper. I haven't had a chance to dig into it, but it looks like it's able to remap the soft keys on the bezel. I don't know if they can be remapped to null or an empty command, but at the least maybe they can be remapped to something that doesn't do much (like dpad up/down/left/right or something).

If I get a chance to play with it, I'll report back. Of course, anybody who beats me to it is encouraged to post their results.

EDIT:

Hey, it worked. I decided to jump into it and try it out. I basically just popped in and replaced any buttons that were soft buttons (search/home/menu/back) with DPAD buttons. I don't know if changing every reference is required or if there are better options than using DPAD buttons, but it's a start.

EDIT AGAIN:

DPAD worked fine but I kept accidentally selecting links and whatnot in the browser. I tried End Call, since we don't have phone capability, but it seemed to just close whatever app I was in. Ended up binding Back/Menu to Volume Down and Search/Home to Volume Up, which is working well.

EDIT AGAIN AGAIN:

Even better, Focus seems to not do anything at all (obviously), unless in an app that uses the camera's focus. Don't know how I didn't notice that. Now to train myself to never use the soft keys!

How easy is it to revert back to stock button action? Or do you turn this function ON each time you boot and then run this program?
