...sounds like JTAG or bust...
Though there is some Epic voodoo to try like taking the battery out for an hour or two and popping it back in...I don't know WTF that could do, but, I've heard about it on more than one occasion and those few guys swore by it....
...good luck.

forgot to let you know that i am on a sgs2 epic 4g touch

JTAG
what is JTAG? how does it work? could someone send me something with all the info

try taking the battery out for an hour or so.. the pressing the volume button for about 15 secs to discharge everything, then plug it in without the battery and try to goto download mode..

Also, did you try the jig prior to this issue? It's rare, but you could have a faulty jig. I would try Chris's recommendation and if that doesn't work, you could pick up another jig before moving on to jtag.

Please give me advice.

I am in trouble about battery.
Repeating "Charging" and "Discharging" without plug-in.
It is the main reason why it is so fast to be out of battery.
My battery sensor is something wrong.
Please tell me how to make my galaxy nexus recognize ALWAYS discharging.
Even if it is pug-in, it is ok that it recognizes "discharging".
help me.

Factory reset or get a new phone

If you are rooted, I would consider trying to rest your battery stats. There are several apps for this, and you can also do it in cwm

This.

You need a new USB-board. Mine was not repairable, I had got some water in my usb-port. Not covered by warranty off course. A repair would cost me 150-200 Euro.
So I bought a new board online and exchanged it myself. Cost: 35 Euro. But you could most likely find it cheaper. Took me 15 minutes to fix.

Same thing happened to me. No water damage, no dirt, no filth, never been dropped. I take exceptional care of my electronics, I'm pretty ocd actually. I had to send it to Samsung for warranty because I didnt know the cause. And to answer your question, yes that's why your battery is draining.

Thank you very much
Thank you very much.
I never know that so many people are in same trouble.
Then now I do is Factory Reset.
I think it was caused by water.
It flowed into mine.
Second, I will buy the repair parts.
Thank you very much.

be careful if you wanna repair on your own.
my gnex had discharging issue, but shows lightning bolt icon at the top.
i ordered the part, and replaced it. but still has the issue.
factory reset didn't help.
Does samsung still take my gnex even though i opened it?

What's this part?

Hello guys,
I'm curious about a part that I almost find on every phone but I have no idea what it exactly is...

Looks like an external antenna connection port.

Thanks for the replies,
Is there a possibility to replace this part?
I think i kinda broke it...
I thought it was a reset button (Fail to me ...)
Now I have bad connection/no connection at all..

Yea, heat gun it and solder a new one on.
DON'T stick anything in, I repeat, DON'T stick anything in that hole, i know it's tempting to fulfill your sexual urges, but please DON'T, you won't like it.

I've been searching over the web for a galaxy nexus antenna connecting port(not sure how you should call it) and I can't find a site where I can buy a replacement part...
Do you know where I can find one?

[Q] second hand one x

So i'm looking at this ad from a kid who wants to sell his One X right. The only problem is, it is not recognized by computers anymore but it can be charged. He clearly says the usb won't work because he rooted it, now surely this can be fixed. I'm thinking of buying it and of course repairing it.
Now my question is, what's the worst that could have happened to the One x that makes the usb unusable?(sofware wise of course)
here's a photo of the bootloader

Is this an actual final state picture of the phone ? It says fastboot usb in red text ! That's a good thing. I think its a pc driver problem. Fastboot usb is only active when the phone is recognized by the pc.

I actually already contacted the guy and I hope this One x is going to be mine!:good:
On the other hand maybe he was referring to internal storage? I really want more info out of this guy but on the other hand I dont want him to revoke his offer because maybe he'll think he can repair it himself haha

I personally think its a driver issue. Can be a pain in the ass. But once correct installed it will be fine. Dont hold me responsible
Cheers and welcome to the club

Haha of course I dont hold you responsible, my guess on worst case scenario is a usb connector swap, also not sure if this photo was taken in its final state. Anyway I can't get this offer get away, the price is ridiculous

Then go for it. You have my blessing

Little update, decided to call him and he said someone is coming over tomorrow night to check the phone out, also that someone is having a one-hour drive to get this phone! Pretty sure this offer slipped through my fingers damnit

That's a shame.....
All the best.

Apparent Hard Brick - Any Hope?

Hey all, Search is not working for me, and I am in need of some help. Been using this Epic Touch for 2 years, but running custom ROMS for over a year.
I installed CM 10.1 official on my phone in September, and have had no issues since... Until this week.
I had had occasional reboots, but had one today, where the reboot then froze on the Samsung GSII logo. From what I know now (after googling), this is a soft brick. Not sure if i did something wrong by doing this, but just thinking it was a random reboot and brief issue, I rebooted again by holding power key...
This time, only the Blue LED comes on (steady), and the screen is completely black.
Again, I wasn't doing ANYTHING at the time this happened. Was not installing a ROM, was just charging phone when it went into the random reboot.
Is there anything I can do? I have insurance, but just ordered a LG G2 upgrade, so am only weeks away from a new phone. Don't want to pay the deductible for a phone i'll only have 2 weeks.
Thanks so much, guys.

Hmm, on the TEP site to even process a claim, only options are Water Damage, Physical Damage, Lost, Stolen.
So I guess I may have another option due to software failure? I'll head into a Sprint store and see what I can do.

So you have tried pulling the battery and going into recovery or download mode and flashing a new ROM?

Couldn't get to recovery. Just black screen. Seemed to be a complete brick, probably emmc.
I took it to a sprint store and they replaced it, free of charge, saying the board was completely gone.

Unfortunately they do happen. Nothing can be done about it with this phone, they're already out of production.

Yeah, they actually had an E4GT in the store to give me, so i barely waited 30 minutes.
I'm just gonna leave it stock for now, until I get my G2.
Just very weird that I hadn't flashed anything in weeks (almost 2 months), and it crapped out.
