Hi,
I am a newb to this.
Have gone through the below links to unlocks my new samsung s2 t989 (locked totmobile)
Below is the step followed to unlock
Tried the steps mentioned in the below post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2024514
Didnt work. Going through the forum again i understood i need to install the new radio UVLE1
Followed the below link to install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=145
Only deviation done was to enter to download mode as the steps mentioned in the above forum didnt work.
So reffered to the youtube link for the same -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHi0SIu7cXk
Then follwed the rest of steps as explained by OP.
Unfortunatly i was not able to find any range for the Tmobile SIM and the phone started to work very slowly.
Then i trien unlocking after entering
Go to dailer screen. press *#197328640#
Though it was a bit slow i was able to navigate to the screen with DEUG Screen option -
The screen will change to the hidden menu as soon as you hit the last # key in the dailer
press [1]DEBUG SCREEN
When i press on 1 nothing was happening. waited for a long time.
I think the greatest mistake i did after this was tried to reset to factory setting. I assume the software crashed and i am now not able to switch on the phone.
i am able to get to the boot options with various options
Also the cloclworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.7 is displayed in the screen.
Can some one help me with options to restart my phone and make it to work as normal.
A detailed explanation with links would help me as i am completly a newb to this.
Many thanks in advance.

[Q] Ramdump and Boot loop error > Pls help !

Hello,
Yesterday, I buy my new i8150 Galaxy Wonder and i root my phone
I install the rom Black Notes Chapter 2 with ClockworkMod.
I used V6 Supercharger with scrip manager.
After the restart everything worked normally and I just installed Viber app.
Being tired, I have not verified if the scrip was properly installed
I go to bed and getting up several hours later, my i8150 galaxy displays a black screen with
RAMDUMP mode
<null>
I will restart my phone and there's only the Samsung logo that flashes every second.
No more access to Clockwormod, the logo flashes too.
The only thing I know to do is put it into Download Mode or RAMDUMP Mode > cause: force upload
So I try flashed an original rom (W I8150XXKK1 Galaxy (EUR)) into Download Mode with Odin Multi Downloader v4.43.
Every step is going well, but when it restarts automatically at the end of the process, the Samsung logo blinking again.
I also tried to reinstall ClockworkMod with Odin Multi Downloader, but still the stage proceeds successfully, always the same problem of flashing samsung logo on startup and no access to ClockworkMod
Help me please, it's been over 5 hours I'm looking for a solution.
THANK YOU
I'm not completely new to android, I trained for over a year with my ZTE Blade with different Rom (CyanogenMod)

Oh2.. This is interesting r u sure no access to CWM ? If possible best to wipe all system folder making the phone fully wiped.
Have you tried to flash stock recovery ?

Just doing independent research
From 1:10 wonder has this problem...
No kidding, but the characteristic for the phone that possible have a boot loop are always have FORCE CLOSE app and doing RESTART itself
It can fixed but only if we get stock firmware with wipe and boot loader to fix this issue
I will bring this issue to new tread
Im having this problem too. Any solutions for it.
Used perfectly for a day and 2nd day when i woke up the samsung logo keeps flashing..

This is EXACTLY what happened yesterday..and just now I wiped everything in the phone and turned it on. It worked first, but there was a FC on the start or something..and the screen goes black. But I notice that I'm still in the custom ROM I was using (GingerICE). Then I turned it off and and went to CWM. I tried reboot system now, but I was stuck in the samsung logo. Can someone help?
I have the backup of the stock ROM. Is it safe to make the backup?

if you could boot into Recovery screen, you could try:
wipe factory/system, wipe cache, advanced > wipe dalvik.
[careful] i usually format my /system if i get bootloops.
then reflash the ROM. reboot.. in my cases, those steps always worked.
edit: you should checkout the GingerICE with non OC version, the OC may work on some device and some don't, IMO if you're using your droid for daily use, i recommend using the non OC
im facing same issue too here... but i couldn't even access to download mode... tried many times, still failed... help plss...
Same thing happen to me ...today. I can get into download mode, but after flash the with odin it is still the same, boot loop on samsung logo.... help !!!

[Q] Stuck ( Need Help Badly)

ive searched the forums and google for the past 45minutes. couldnt find a thing .
This is my problem. I was trying to install Darkside's SGSII rom for tmobile agin because i was experiening glitches and lag. i downloaded all the files except radio ( because i flashed that a month ago the first time ) i backed up every , used super wipe. then i thought if i wiped everything, the radio would too. so i took out my SD card. downloaded a radio . and put it on my SD card. tried to mount the SD card back and couldnt. Took me 20 mins untill i finally just reboot . Now i cant get back into CWM at all. the galaxy s ii boots right into the loading darkside screen. and just stalls . im not sure how to hard reset it into CWM. i tried to hold volume up , down menu while putting in the USB . it goes to odin but stalls at " downloading " .
edit : i tried using Odin from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566613 . Nothing still
so my question is how do i get into CWM?
first, install android sdk, then plug the phone in and let it boot to wherever it gets stuck, open command prompt or terminal or whatever you use and type ddms - see if the debug manager recognizes your phone - if it does, type adb reboot recovery
if that doesnt work, pull the battery out -unplug it - put battery in, hold volume up+down and press power - keep holding down vol up+down and hopefully you will be in recovery. let me know if you still cant get in and we can try something else.
You have to flash a gb radio because you currently have an ics radio. nAndroid doesn't back up the boot loader.

i was getting confused with the android SDK a little. So i used this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513359 to flash back to stuck using Odin. After it was back to stock.
I followed this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650908 flash CWM and root it. did a back up. and flashed Darksides super wipe , radio and ics rom. My phone back.
Thanks guys for your help. Really appreciate it. Thought i lost a $400 phone lol

I like hearing stories like this. It shows that you are also digging around while asking questions and not afraid to try out different ways to fix. That's how you'd learn right? Excellent work and I am glad you learned it the hard way (without bricking your phone). This is not to sound harsh but, you know, the first thing you should be doing is to READ everything completely BEFORE you start experimenting. Your case may be different but many people just jump and start doing things. Even experienced (I'd say I am not that experienced) people would and could make mistakes and may not know all the bugs/issues with particular roms and / or hardware. So, read first and execute later.

Flash back to 2.3, Where I can the ROM?

Hi,
I know your time is precious and I have already done hours of researching, googling, and downloading...
But believe me, no luck. I only found two 2.3 ROMs, one from this forum (but was a 'rooted' one) and one from SamMobile forum.
Both didn't work properly. I even cannot dial numbers (among other problems).
Can anyone, please, tell me from where do I find an official/good ROM for samsung captivate glide i927 ?
Sorry for taking much of your time, I really appreciate it.

Here is a good ROM from dman its stock ICS rooted (there is unrooted one at bottom of post if you dont want root) also it comes with CRT off i think so it looks cool when you turn off your phone. Hope it helps

thanks, but Isn't there an odin version of it?
Because I have tried the CWM method but I cannot boot into recovery mode, I can boot only into download mode.
Not sure why, although I press upper sound + home + power but still get the wrong mode...
I would really appreciate it if anyone can give me a link to a gingerbread ROM that is flashable from odin for i927.
I have tried this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391730
but it does not work properly (many errors appear)
I also tried the one from sampro.pl but still have many problems.
----------------------------------- EDIT ------------------------------------------
Maybe when I flashed the ICS and then I want to downgrade to Ginger, I need something more than just PDA in odin...
maybe I also need to change bootloader ??
-------------------------------------------------- EDIT 2 ----------------------------
I note after flashing: "cannot access csc...." something like that written just after flashing.... any idea?
You need to only press volume down and power button....try that to get into cmw

Try using root booter, you gotta have root to use it but it will boot you into any mode supported by the phone.

As mentioned, the key combo for recovery is Volume Down + Power, that's the problem...
noob question...
Sorry to ask, but reading numerous forums has made me absolutely clueless as to what to do.
Long story short, My AT&T i927 is not rooted and i updated to official ICS via kies air and have been having multiple bugs, like the famous keyboard backlight issue (for which ive read the fix but was unable to implement it) and also, the pinch zoom gestures being of almost no use cuz they are THAT slow in response and the hd games on it have become extra laggy, the camera quality has become terrible.
I want to go back to gingerbread but dont know how so PLEASE, i request you to take few minutes out of your precious time and help me with one single post containing the step by step method and links to whatever it is that i need to download. I seriously appreciate this and would make sure this post is popular enough to not to be repeated again.
Eagerly awaiting your reply.
THANKS.

This isnt an odin version its a zip so all you have to do is flash it, but you want to make sure you have CWMR installed. I recommend the touch recovery because it makes it easier. Ill post link in bottom, also after you install you want to power off phone then hold power for 5 seconds and volume down to boot into recovery. To put CWMR on you need to use odin but once its on you will not need to use odin again unless another rom comes out that requires oneclick.

Go to gingerbread and try the kies emergency firmware recovery that might fix the issues but i havent tried so i dont know
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda premium
This seriously is a issue worth notifying to Samsung. They shouldn't have released Kies update for the phone if it as under development. This isn't anything like Samsung. Samsung always tests the build and then releases it. I hope some samsung Official falls upon this thread and replys us all.

Need help quick! black screen after kernel flash =(

Okay, I tried to take the easy route to get my phone rooted and over clocked. I should also mention i'm on US T-mo
I was able to gain route via samsung toolkit. I searched around for an easy overclock method. I searched and found a youtube vid for Perseus and ended up using alpha 11 as linked in the video via Odin. Shortly after the task was completed, my phone attempted to restart. However, it was only a black screen although I did hear a vibrate. I quickly searched around and tried flashing Perseus's newer alpha20. Still same thing. I have no clue what I'm doing at this point and fear I have bricked my phone.
I can access download mode as well as custom recovery. But I don't know what to do at this point. Help please! I need my phone to work tomorrow for work! ack! I just got this phone 2 days ago. =(
I've tried wiping data/factory reset through custom recovery. Nothing. I've really screwed this one up. Is there something I can download and flash through Odin? Seems like I can only get in download mode and recovery mode which is pretty useless.

Oh man, I was such in a panic I didn't even notice.
Hmm, is there a step by step process for #2..samsung toolkit isn't working for me as I cannot pass the turn on "usb debugging mode" step given my phone cannot even load up at this point. It's either black screen with intermittent vibrations, custom recover, and download mode

[Q] Samsung S2 T989 not starting and booting in loop

Hi,
I am a newb to this.
Have gone through the below links to unlocks my new samsung s2 t989 (locked totmobile)
Below is the step followed to unlock
Tried the steps mentioned in the below post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024514
Didnt work. Going through the forum again i understood i need to install the new radio UVLE1
Followed the below link to install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36417242&postcount=145
Only deviation done was to enter to download mode as the steps mentioned in the above forum didnt work.
So reffered to the youtube link for the same -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHi0SIu7cXk
Then follwed the rest of steps as explained by OP.
Unfortunatly i was not able to find any range for the Tmobile SIM and the phone started to work very slowly.
Then i trien unlocking after entering
Go to dailer screen. press *#197328640#
Though it was a bit slow i was able to navigate to the screen with DEUG Screen option -
The screen will change to the hidden menu as soon as you hit the last # key in the dailer
press [1]DEBUG SCREEN
When i press on 1 nothing was happening. waited for a long time.
I think the greatest mistake i did after this was tried to reset to factory setting. I assume the software crashed and i am now not able to switch on the phone.
i am able to get to the boot options with various options
Also the cloclworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.7 is displayed in the screen.
Can some one help me with options to restart my phone and make it to work as normal.
A detailed explanation with links would help me as i am completly a newb to this.
Many thanks in advance.

If you are able to get into recovery, place your rom of choice on the external SD card, insert it into your phone, and flash the rom from recovery.
Not sure what you are trying to accomplish, unlocking the phone, or flashing a rom...
