you mean you did a wipe/factory reset from recovery?
if so, i guess you have to reflash with odin. you could use adb to connect to the phone from recovery and try to fix the problem manually but i guess thats no an option for you ... reflash is the fastest method to get your phone running again ...

yes, i did the factory reset. i want no longer to be wrong, so can you please give me some newbie steps to do the reflash or at least a link? thank you very much, i am no longer in panic!

read flash firmware using odin. i recommend one of the jmX firmwares. the newest of them being WXJM7

thanks a lot for the help, i will never forget you. i was scared of losing the warranty and not solving this issue. if i am right, the method will work because i didnt know that you can make an entrance to the system. i checked the download mode and it works, i am now stuck with my pc until i repair it and on the firmware. 2 questions: 1. if the drivers of the sgs are installed, do i need to remove kies and reinstall it or something like that? and 2. if i did the factory reset, was the internal sd card formatted? thanks a lot again.

1)Hi there. There is no need to uninstall/reinstall kies, in fact u do not have to open it to be able to use odin. You can view this video tutorial first part and second part for illustration purposes. If you are unable to connect to odin you can open kies and reinstall your drivers with it.
2) As far as I know when you do a factory reset only your system reserved partition of your internal sdcard is formatted. The rest of your data in /SDCARD will remain untouched.
Senior members pls correct me if I'm wrong.

theoretically you WILL loose your warranty when you use odin to flash a firmware, in reality the will never find out as long as you don't brick it during flashing...if you want to be 100% on the save side (regarding the warranty) you can also flash the original firmware (JF3 for me) back. personally i would not worry about that ...

no, you are in fact completely right

now that i know that this method can not fail i dont care about the warranty., what is the differences between firmwares and should i use the latest one?

as i wrote above i recommend a JMX one (JM6 or JM7) as they are really stable. i use JPC (android 2.2) which works well for me but there are people reporting serious problems like locked phones and overwritten IMEI's. therefore i wouldn't recommend this for unexperienced people...
i don't want to worry you but there are people who managed to brick their phones with odin. it's very very unlikely if you follow the instructions precisely. just that you know ... read the howto's carefully before proceeding!

i agree but desperate people don't care about forum-rules which is why we have so many threads like this in the dev section. i guess the only way to solve this would be if an admin/mod would manually move them

i will consider this and i understand that it has some risk, but i think this is my only chance. also, i hope the 0.05 percent chance of a major electricity fail will not ruine my phone. for clarifying: is this reflash like the windows reinstalation with different update packs? if the process will be done completely, is there a chance for the black screen will be still there? i am a little nervous, not scared as the first time, but if the process dont work, is there any chance to repair it through samsung with some costs?

Hey there buddy.
I can see that you are really concerned about messing things up. But really, don't worry. It has some down falls, but flashing with Odin is might safe. And as was earlier recommended, you can try flashing to either JM6 or JM7. Both are very stable releases. Here are a couple of links, one for the JM6 and the other for JM7. Trust me when I say this, IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT.....
JM6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765032
JM7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770821
This is another link to a brilliant post by Darkstriker. This is a well thought of FAQ's. It will guide you properly. Follow instructions to the letter and you will be all right.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
It would also be a good idea to do a factory data reset after you are done flashing.
Take the plunge buddy. Be cool.....
Cheers....
Whoops.... Almost forgot. This is a link provided by Darkstriker in his FAQ. This is a faster website to download from. Let me give you direct links to the JM6 and the JM7 and the Odin and PIT files.
JM6
JM7
Odin And PIT File: https://www.wuala.com/Samsung Galax...Odin & Bootloader(.PIT)/Old/?key=AfzUZSU4SpKU
You will need both the files listed on the linked page (Odin and PIT File)
Plus you will also need the CSC files. Choose the correct one from the link below after finding the relevant info from the JM6 and JM7 links. If still in doubt, ask away.
CSC: https://www.wuala.com/Samsung Galax...C fo XWJM6, XFJM6 and XWJM7/?key=AfzUZSU4SpKU

it seems that i gave you something to work on. good, i will use one of these but i am not clear about the pda csc modem things. can someone tell me what i need to do at this step? i dont understand and i am thinkin about the apn settings... i hope i will get them. i dont think i longer have questions. thanks all!

No problem. Will try and walk you through this.
After you have downloaded either of the JM6 or the JM7, and you have extracted the files, you will see the PDA and the modem files. You will also have to download the relevant CSC file that is specific to your region. Also, make sure that Odin and the PIT files have been downloaded.
Let me give you simple steps to work your way through.
1. Make sure Samsung Kies is NOT RUNNING including in the notification area.
2. Disconnect your phone and switch it off.
3. Start Odin
4. Make sure the three options, "Re-Partition", "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are TICKED
5. Click on the "PIT" button and select the "s1_odin_20100512" file you downloaded.
6. Put your phone into download mode by using the key combination: POWER DOWN + HOME KEY + POWER KEY. When you see the yellow triangle, release all buttons.
7. Connect your phone and wait for the drivers to get installed.
8. Click on the "Start" button and wait for the process to finish. This will be indicated by the words "PASS" with a green background. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE PHONE TILL YOU SEE THE WORDS "PASS"
9. Remove the battery and put the phone into download mode again. (Step 6)
10. In Odin, click the "Reset" button and UNCHECK the "Re-Partition" option and keep the remaining two options CHECKED.
11. Click the "PDA" button and select the file starting with "CODE"
12. Click the "PHONE" button and select the file starting with "MODEM"
13. Click the "CSC" button and select the CSC file which you have chosen. (NOTE: You will have to extract the file from the CSC package you have downloaded and not the actual archive)
14. Connect the phone
15. Click on the "START" button and wait till Odin finishes its process. Again, DO NOT DISCONNECT THE PHONE TILL ODIN DISPLAYS THE "PASS" MESSAGE!!!!
16. If you are using Multi CSC, follow the instructions from any of the posts for JM6 and JM7: "When using *Multi CSC* you need to type *#272*????# after the flash (in dialer). ???? being the current time displayed by phone. For example if the time is currently 6.25pm you need to type *#272*0625#. Then select the desired CSC version from the list and press "Install"."
You should be fine once these steps are done. They might seem very difficult at first glance, but they really aren't. If you still feel concerned about the process, I would suggest reading the entire post again just to familiarize yourself with the process. I was trembling the first time I did this and it turned out perfectly all right in the end. I am sure it will be the same for you.
Cheers....

thanks for the flashing guide for dummies. I think that it is the most complete guide for noobs. thanks again, i will tell you when i am done but now the computer annoys me so i need to wait...

Hello again community. I am writing now from my SGS. Wonder how? (I did not the reflash) I don't know, the phone just booted up this morning. I have no idea how but now I will try to not reboot my phone. I think the logo is broken and the factory reset worked.
I still have the MCR app, but the Quadrant scores around 870, so I am no longer rooted.
Thanks all, I surely will need your help sometime... I consider the rooting now not so scary because I understanded that I can not break my phone completely. I will update to Froyo when it will be official and I hope the problem is not any longer in my phone.
Cheers!
Edit: I found a folder in the internal sdcard named ase that has 2 subfolders. In «resources» folder there are 2 files: playlogos1 which is 0 kilos large and userinit.sh, also with 0 kilos. If I am right this is the reason which stopped my phone to boot. What to do with them?

Relax bro.. You'll live longer

So I am finally in front of my PC, but I don't know if when I will reboot my phone it will work. I have the superuser/MCR and the scripts still in my phone and I don't know what to do. I don't really understand why the playlogo1 and userinit.sh files have 0 kB and they are on my sdcard. I think they have something to do with this.That's why I am afraid of rebooting it... but sometime I will need it and I hope I will not have the problem. Also, if I will reflash my phone with JM6 or JM7, which lag fix do you recommend for me? (The phone sometimes really annoys me)
Thanks in advance...!

Mobile Locked

I my phone was locked, and I was requested to enter my google acc, so I did, but it was not recognized, My password is the same since I created my acc, never changed, so I had no solution than making a factory reset to get back my cell, but this is not a solution, since I have a small child and he always playing with the mobile, and this might happen again.
If anyone have an idea please feel free to ask any questions to make it clearer

that happens only when maximum password attempts has been reached.
when asked, you have to be connected to the internet coz verification is done online.
now if you want to avoid this from happening again, don't use any password or pin lock.

Dont use password

So, of I'm not connected Noway to recover the lock, this seems stupid from Samsung it should be stored on the phone, anyway I made an image of my ROM. So if it happened again I will just restore. Thanks for the reply

I have CM10 Alpha7 on my phone, and I have a Nandroid backup and already used it and nothing lost, my question here? What if my cell is not rooted? There should be a different way. That's what I wanna know,

if ur not rooted then ull simply root ur device through the stock recovery as usual then install the recovery and make ur nandroid backup or simply just format system and cache and re install the same rom so ur data won't b touched (im not so sure if it will help with removing ur lock but my guess is that it will), cuz if u go to SSC in egypt then they will simply tell u to format ur cell (they dont give a s**t for us bro)

But I guess this way the lock issue will be restored also, I'm only guessing. And the SSC like u said they don't care. This is not the solution I was looking for, but till now its the best answer, at least not telling me how stupid i was, thanks bro

I already made a factory reset, and flashed the ROM again, Luckily and thanks to a friend of mine who advised me couple days before this problem happens, he told me "Make a backup just in case" so I didn't lose anything, and now I made a new Image of my ROM, so what ever happens in the future I will just restore the whole ROM with the settings, but really thank you for trying to help, because every time I ask for help, I must find someone who gives me a frustrating answer, once I was asking about some stuff for my SGW, and someone named Frank said "Your phone isn't popular if you want help get a more popular phone" I felt like oO if you can't help why bother replying, so I really appreciate anyone who tries to help:good:

fix for stuck Samsung logo or boot loops after 5.1.1

Ok everyone. here is the fix for those stuck at Samsung logo after 5.1.1 update thanks to this person "Tuandung.tran". I had to go to a Vietnamese site and download the file that took me 7 hours to download, I had a hard time translating the site since it was in Vietnamese, so now I want to contribute and help others by saving them time with straight forward tutorial on how to fix the problem that they have.
Ok so here it is:
1) download this file and extract it to your PC ==========> https://mega.nz/#!vIEEBQyT!U5AzPE4iR3b5yUzdZ6rAT3AFXyCLq__4qiFTfkBupp0
2) go to recovery and delete system files and cache
3) go to download mode
4) open Odin on your PC and click AP to add AP_G925TUVU2COF6.tar that you extracted earlier to your PC
5) with Odin still open add BL_G925TUVU2COF6.tar by clicking BL button
6) click start
7) After Odin is finished, it will reboot your phone. just wait a few minutes and you'll be all set.

If this actually works there's going to be a whole bunch of people in line wanting to give you a kiss.
Pp. Lol.

Now you need a imei unlock method, its more expensive 45 us, but its better, because you use a official Tmobile unlock app; i think this people put your imei in the Tmobile data base and make your phone eligible to permanently unlock. send mp to @Sunderwear

the problem is that the vendor from china put some crippled stock rom on my phone where they removed the system update service and so i cant do a local update with the phone. my rm 6 telegram group suggested that i install the qcom 9008 usb driver on my pc and boot my phone via adb into qcom 9008 edl mode and use miflash to flash it with a 4.15 unbrick package and if this would work i would have intact system update again and could flash it with a local update with the firmware id like. thanks for the help btw. gotta go out in 5 minutes but be back in a bit. please give me your opinion, i will read it once im back

What you wrote sounds good. Your flashing app is miflash. Download the 4.14 unbrick, and load it into miflash without fone plugged in, power fone OFF, start the miflash, hit download/flash (dont know the actual button to do the damage), then plug turned off fone into usb, miflash should auto find and flash, anything after that, feel free to ask.
Ps you could just jump in the deep end and flash the one you WANT, so that if it fails you'll know if it works or not, and will have tested a rom before flashing your stock back, kinda better than flashing stock first in a way.

thanks for the suggestions! i want to give this a try as soon as i have some time. buthow do i backup my current stock rom in case the new rom wont work? i only know about rom manager app but that needs a rooted phone and mines isnt rooted. is there a way to backup the stock rom without having a rooted device?

Forget backing that up, your already at the stage where you learn if you back this up now, you MAY also back up the problem and have to do it all again, take my advice, keep it simple.
For your 'backup' - download latest official stock from your fone maker.
You may want to revert back AFTER you test the one you want to test.
So test first while it's 'broken' knowing once you go back to stock, it aint broke, dont fix it.

hey there! thanks for your tips, i appreciate it! ok just to clear things up, with "stock" firmware, you mean the official latest chinese firmware from the chinese nubia page, right?

Yup, if thats what you know is your STOCK, ie, not the one you wanna test, but in your scenario, I'd flash the test before stock, this way you gain experience flashing, and if you mess up, then you flash the stock, and learn not to. (again lol)
To clarify, stock is the firmware the fone maker has on their site.
Follow thir instructions, it's easier than you think, as my auld man told me, when testing, write down every step, so you REMEMBER instead of being unsure because I forgot....

ok i got it. thanks for the help! i have the stock ready on my computer. unfortunately i cant flash my phone by following the manufacturers steps because my phone vendor flashed my phone with some custom chinese multi language firmware with google already pre installed. and whoever edited this firmware before flashing it on my new phone, removed the system service that is necessary to launch the "system update" options. therefore i have no way of making a local firmware update in my phone. unfortunately the red magic 6 pro also does not have a local update option in the recovery menu. thats why my only option is flashing the phone with my computer. but in the worst case i will have the latest stock rom on my phone in the end and this will have the system update options intact. thanks again for all the help!

Need help unlocking AT&T Calypso (U318AA)

Hello Everyone,
Today a friend gave me a phone that I would like to use, but it has a screen lock passcode on it that she doesn't know. The phone was given to her, but she couldn't use because it's AT&T and she is on T-Mobile so she passed it on to me. I checked the IMEI number on several sites and it's clean so i shouldn't have any issues. Is there a way I can remove the passcode from this phone?
My apologies if this is in the wrong section.

Hi, do you still have the phone on you? I've basically hard brick mine and now I need a full mtk dump to get it back as it was. so if you do, can you upload this files? don't worry if you don't know how to do that, I can walk you through the process

i can help you , if your device still soft break

it is, I think the problem is with the super image but I'm not 100% sure. so if you can share a full mtk client backup it would be awesome. if not, a super image will do

your device stuck on logo ? or deadboot ?

every time I try to turn it on it bootloops to fastboot mode, I suspect that the issue is a super image I found online, flashed not knowing that it was corrupted (which I discovered later), and I foolishly didn't create a backup (why I went and downloaded the corrupted image in the first place) thinking that I will never go back to the stock rom but now after I have used a couple gsi's for a while found out that the og rom performance was much better and decided to go back

so this is just a bunch of .bin files that I have to flash using mtk client to said partitions? just making sure

and just to let you know I might not be able to download the file today, the internet is pretty sucky where I'm rn, so I hope you don't have a problem keeping the file up till tomorrow. and just wanted to thank you for the incredible help, I've been trying to fix this phone for the last two weeks which was headache inducing say the least.

you can flash this with lots of free tools .. if secure boot on you can't flash directly but i will help you . you just need to share your screen with me ..

sorry for the late response, but yeah I've flashed all of the files using mtkclient and it didn't work Idk if I have messed things up, I thought reflashing all of the stock firmware would fix everything but it seems that there's still something wrong

I've unlocked the bootloader and disabled boot verification, tried fastboot -w and fastboot format userdata and non of it worked, and I'm really sorry but I can't share my screen because as I've mentioned before my internet is bad and I had to go somewhere else to get the files. can I share anything else with you that might help, I have some recovery log files

IT WORKED!!!!! I don't know what was the problem, I've tried flashing the files again but this time using the terminal instead of the gui AND IT WORKED. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I'm going to upload the files later in case someone else encountered the same problem
