Dear XDA Developers #... and all other experts,
I had a T-Mobile MDA and I'm affraid that my bootloader had problem with all the buttons. The bootloader V5.15 boots and show GSM OK but none of the action buttons working ? Any Clue ?
Is the Intel #3204C 32MB Flash Memory chip store the bootloader and the WinCE because I had some technical guys who be able to clone the chips using some clonning machine.
Please advice as my MDA had been down for 2 weeks.
Thanks in advance
I would guess you have a hardware problem with the buttons.
Did flashed with SD card but checksum not correct
Dear Peter Poelman,
I did flashed with SD Card 2 weeks ago. Using the XDArit (old ver) and with O2 3.14.13 Rom. I did many restored but everytime it said restored completed but checksum not correct.
I did managed to see the O2 boot screen ( Blue O2) showig 3.14 at the right bottom of the screen but not be able to load the WinCE.
Is there a limit or counter that say number of times SD card restored ?
You think is hardware problem, any solution ? If you think where the fault is, maybe I be able to ask a Technical guy to open the MDA and repair it.
It is not possible to find any T-Mobile support around Asia.
Any respond would be much gratefull
Question: how big was the SD card you flashed with? (It has to be 64 MB minimum if you back up OS and bootloader at the same time.)
I would use XDArit to write an SD card (32 MB card is ok) that contains only the WinCE (OS) part, and try to flash from it. If your card is somehow corrupted, you can use XDArit to read from the OS from the Special Edition nbf-file inside Jeff's exe-file, which you can extract if you open the exe-file with WinZip.
Is there a limit or counter that say number of times SD card restored ?

They actually built such a mechanism for bootloader 5.17, but gave up on it (maybe after is was cracked by us?). But this really does not apply to you as you probably do not have this bootloader (or you would not have been able to make a backup).
Bootloader doesn't kick start to restore ?
I am using a 128MB SD Card.
Now even I wrote the SD Card with the new SER 1.1 .nbf files and insert the SD card into the XDA, Bootloader boots up but it doen't show the screen that say press action buttons to start restore ? It only show Wallaby Bootloader v 5.15 and freeze....
I am afraid that the bootloader on the XDA might be corrupted as well. Any tips or solution for these problem.
I remember reading in this forum saying that the XDA be able to lock all buttons accept the Power button. Seems like my case, the Power buttons, soft reset and hard reset buttons working only, the rest are not functioning. The XDA are still be able to charge on the craddle and the power worn off quite fast. Sometimes I even be able to see the Phone Cancel Buttons ( Red one ), the red light are always on...
Any help would be much grateful

You used XDArit to write the card, right?
You need to describe in much greater detail what you do for me or anyone to be able to help you.
I'm having a T-Mobile MDA in 3.13.12 GER ( 09/16/02) Radio T310
Bootloader v 5.15 and trying to flash O2 3.14.13 Eng Rom :
1. Using bootloader backup Boot+CE to SD Card.
2. Using XDArit (old ver) Read SD and store to PC ( WinXP )
3. Run RSU-eng of O2 Ireland, sucessfully upgrade, GSM no problem.
4. Run RUU-eng of O2 Ireland, Rom Image not found, error 007.
( forget to patch the NK_wallaby31413wwe_o2Full.nbf )
5. Decided to use XDArit (old ver ) to write Boot+CE ( O2 3.14.13).
6. Insert SD Card into MDA, flash restore compeleted but said checksum not correct
( Repeat many times of writing using XDArit (old ver), sometimes CE only but still checksum not correct )
7. Few occation, manage to see the O2 boot screen showing 3.14 but freeze
8. Left the MDA for few days and try the writing using XDArit again
9. Now soft boots, Bootloader boots show GSM OK, but none of the contact, calender and volume buttons work. If there is a SD card in the MDA, bootloader boots show v 5.15 but not be able to read SD Card.
( some of my posting are on Rom Upgrade forum under suajw)
Just to let you know all the about was done before the release of your SER v1.0 and v1.1 and the new version of XDArit v1.02
The MDA still be able to charge the power but will discharge if leave over night.
Any help will be much gratefull
InitDebugSerial can load bootloader+CE ?
Dear Peter Poelman,
If i boot the bootloader in a serial port from a PC using Hyper Terminal, do you think i be able to load the Bootloader+CE from a SD Card using the comand :
c2r ( from your Wallaby Bootloader Page )
Please advice and many thanks in advance
Notes : have not try using serial port to talk to the XDA
Good idea. Try and see, I guess.
Try hooking up the XDA to the serial com and it still not be able to communicate with XDA, even ? <enter> doesn't show any respond.
What could be the problem ?
By the way Peter Poelman, which is the chip that store the Bootloader+WinCE, I might need to ask someone to clon the chip for me from another XDA.
Thanks for your help and time

Can't speak for anyone else, but to be honest, I have no idea what your problem could be. It's something odd, and looking at the steps you performed, my first guess would be that it could be hardware related.
Did you try a different SD-card? 64MB or bigger (when doing BOOT+CE, 32 MB or bigger for CE)? A different SD-card reader/writer?
The fact that it first reported checksum error and now doesn't read the card at all is funny. Suppose there's nothing wrong with the bootloader that's in there, but that you have some weird hardware problem that messes up communication with the hardware-buttons and with the SD.
Once you tried a different SD-card: maybe open it up and clean the SD-card contacts? (And don't come complaining if you end up breaking it further, it's just an idea...)
Either way: I spent some time thinking about it and replying to your posts. Until new facts surface, I really have no clue what to do in your case, and unless I happen to come accross the same problem again, chances are I will not have a clue two days, two weeks or two months from now. Sorry....
Maybe you can have it repaired?
Good luck...
Still not working....
Dear XDA Developers #.....,
Tried with new SD Card and also clean up the contacts of the SD reader, still not be able to work????
Another thing I notice my MDA, when I boots in Bootloader Mode, after the GSM OK, the 'Phone Hangs Up' button always lighten up RED, is this normal. Is you XDA the same when in bootloader mode. The battery gets drain off easily, is it because the WinCE is not there as well????
By the ways, thank for all your reply and times. You have been a great help for me and I have learn quite a lots from these wonderful web site and forums. Keep up the good work......
I might not be able to find someone to repair the device but hopefully to look up for a secondhand O2 PCB Board to swap to...
Flashing bootloader with jtag?
Dear XDA Developers #....,
Do you think flashing the bootloader using jtag might solve my MDA problem ?
in your //xda-developers/jtag page you mention a patch do be download here.... I don't see the link to download the patches.
Could you please verify.....
Thanks
Dear all Xda developer,
First my phone is SHV-E250S (a N7105 - 32Gb Korea)
I was flash new rom but that time i ticked "Nand erase all" button on Odin.
Now my phone is able to boot up, run into TW home, it seem normally except No signal, and phone won't recognize the internal memory.
Run "My files" and try to create new folder but it said can't do this. Run any program such Camera and Snote it said no memory ...
After google and perform all read, all necessary things... I think that My phone got Partition problem (if i'm wrong, please correct me).
Please, you guys (which use SHV-E250S or have SHV-E250S pit file) could share your PIT file for me to have a chance to revive my dear Note 2 again?
Many thanks for all Xda developer visit this thread.
Please, just discuss with technician and it seem he doesn't know about PIT things. He tried me to let him do with his "box" and charge me some fees.
Please help me before i hand over to him.
Anyone? please
I was flashing stock rooted FW to my AT&T note II. i clicked on 'Nand erase all' in odin while flashing and there was no pit file provided so re partition was unchecked.
ever since that was flashed my phone does not recognise any sim card, IMEI is "null / null" and the baseband is unknown.
all my internal memory shows in the application manager window to be free but in the storage section in settings, i have 0.00B left.
if i access my phone memory through a file explorer i can write on my /storage/sdcard0 partition but system does not recognise it.
i went through many XDA topics involving how to write imei number, how to restore baseband. cant find anything that would help me.
i have tried to install stock rom again, different versions of stock roms. tried to use pit files and stock rom. nothing worked.
i tried flashing the modem again using custom recovery but that did not help either.
is there a way out or i have a note ii with no phone functionality for the rest of its life?

I apologize.
I will keep it in mind next time.
had this happen after a hard brick
pls read entire thing before attempting
this is the method i used to fix
ON A DIFFERENT COMPUTER/ OR UNINSTALL ALL PROGRAMS AND DRIVERS!!!!
You will need your Serial # and kies
after installing Kies and drivers goto tolls menu and select Firmware upgrade and Initialization (step one picture)
it will prompt u for your model # SGH-I317 (Step two pic)
after that it will ask for your serial #
then it prompt you to put you phone in download mode and plug it in this may take a few min and i would suggest going to the installing drivers. ie plugging in you phone in every mode so you computer recognizes it
once kies starts downloading to you phone you should be good to go it restart just like you pulled it out of the box
Thanks a lot

worked perfect i thought the phone was gone i had no IMIE no BASEBAND nothing i was able to fix the phone with these easy steps thanks for the post
I would love to try this out. However in my case the phone reboots way too soon for Kies to recognize it. However it does not reboot if I keep in on a MD1 modem, which of course will not recognize as a valid combination to get an update.
Sort of a catch 22.
Thanks
Thanks a lot mate. It worked well for me and my Note 2 is back to life after almost a stressful day with dead Note 2.
Thanks again!!

THANK YOU!!!! This fixed my issue. Late last night I posted about not transferring the rom files to my phone before I cleaned it off. Would only boot to recovery. The only ROM I had access to was will03's CM11 4.4 nightly. The last one I tried blew out my baseband and IMEI so I was hoping it was fixed in the latest.
I was able to get 4.4 onto my phone but it didn't recognize the Sim and the baseband and imei were unknown. The last time this happened, I used a back to stock pack I got off of these forums (Stock > Root > Triangle Away > Unroot) and that worked.
This was much cleaner for me since I was at work and didn't have access to my stuff. The only thing it didn't do was reset the flash counter, which is fine. I can do that myself.
Thanks again!
Baseband was updated for mj5 modem also flashing wrong meaning international versions just a thought

I am also facing same issue on my SGH-I317, where in I lost my IMEI, baseband etc... I flashed 4.3 Custom rom with Note 3 features.
I was able to get every thing else except, my phone stopped recognizing the my Indian SIM (i.e. vodafone provider). I got all note 3 features working like charm (Air Command etc...). I just followed all the steps given by you @cobraa783. Still it's not able to restore my baseband, IMEI etc...
Please help me.
Thanks in Advance.
Use Kies to emergency recover back to stock 4.1.1.
Steps. (READ ALL BEFORE STARTING)
1.) Downloads Kies onto your pc
2.) Install drivers to pic
3.) Open Kies and go to TOOLS > instal/upgrade firmware.
4.) Kies will ask you for you device model. AT&T = SHE I317. And your serial number. Located behind the battery.
5.) Hit start in Kies it will down load the stock firmware to your PC. Follow the instructions.
6.) It will eventually ask you to put your phone in download mode and connect it to the pc. Do this.
7.) Don't touch it. It is going to take about 10-20 min depending on your Internet speed and your computer.
When it is complete your phone will be back to stock. The same it was the day you pulled it out of the box.
***I would also make sure you back up any data on your phone because it will delete the sd card. It is also wise to remove any external storage sd.
****when finished you can re root using cf auto root or take the OTA update to get you back to 4.3.

Note 2 EMEI Null Null... etc.
Greetings, just want to help a little. Like many here I had the same problem ... Note 2 brick for 2 days. Continue with the suggestions of the forum where Samsung Kies is used to return to the factory and have been Emei etc .... My did not work me. However, manages to find the PIT to Note 2 (I317 & i317m) Which use Odin3 v3.09 with a factory Firmware (I317UCAMA4), and the corresponding Pit instead. I pretty much gave up .... but it worked great. Now my I317 ATT works great again. I hope to help them, as I help my! Luck! Well Please ... Thus if you want to try go to link at bottom. It really works and I understand it is a faster way ... thanks to the good work of many on this site!

I need to repartition and tried to install hemdall.....but get the common .dll error even after following all the instructions and installing C++ 2010.....
Hi, k one thing after the other.
Do you have repartitioned anything?
Do you have adb in place and does adb works when in TWRP?
The easiest thing would be to connect by adb then mount /efs and then restore the efs backup. The good is that you will have a good chance to recover your device. Maybe you need to reformat /efs but that depends.
Which timezone do you live? Maybe a Teamviewer session would be helpful?

I LIVE IN INDIA SIR.....+5.30 GMT.....I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TEAMVIEWER.....IS IT AN ANDROID APP? CAN YOU EXPLAIN MORE IN DETAIL SIR?
PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO GET THE COMPUTER TO RECOGNIZE THE PHONE AGAIN......
Well.. that sounds not that good...
Teamviewer (www.teamviewer.com) is an easy to use and free remote control software for your PC (it runs on both Linux and Windows). We could do a remote control session if you like. I can try to help but cannot promise anything.
I live in Germany: GMT +1. Send me a PM if you want to give that a try. Next Monday. Tuesday or Thursday would be possible on my site. At least for getting a short overview.

Ok I have made one. It want to say it was VERY hard to find the correct instructions to do so and therefore I'm absolutely not sure if that will work for you!
Test it if you like but again: I have no idea if that would damage anything more than it is now!
See --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/cap...od-unbrick-debrick-hard-bricked-i927-t3285505
If it worked for you (would be like a miracle) then please report back!
If it does NOT work for you please report back, too!

UPDATE:
Besides the link I posted --> Could you please also try the following:
1) Power on your device and directly after that:
2) Press and hold down Vol Up + Vol Down (both the same time)
3) You should see a warning message like the attached one which is the APX mode
4) you need to release the vol buttons immediately after you see the APX mode otherwise it will continue to the non working download mode.

Ohhhh Thank you.....thank you.....thank you for your kind reply Sir.....how good of you to take all your precious time to help me.....I greatly appreciate all your hard work Sir.....wonderful...*.I wanted to download your img file to try it out and when I read the reply of brother Bubor, that the I927 woudnt boot from the SD card when the bootloader is bricked, I was very disappointed. Like I said before, I have a very very slow internet connection with very less data left....and according to brother bubor's reply I doubt this will work....It looked like he was sure that it wont work....I tried to get into APX mode as the link that brother bubor posted had mentioned, but no luck, as the phone is not going into APX mode.....I remember that when I was trying to get to the APX mode the first time, the computer flashed a notification that the APX driver was not successfully installed.....but after that I tried the method more than a dozen times, but the computer was not recognizing the phone to go into APX mode.....Does the phone go into APX mode when the full internal phone system is formatted? I tried your second method on trying to get to APX mode, but nothing happens.....the computer is not recognizing the phone.....The battery had about 30% power in it when the phone got bricked 2 weeks ago.....Dont know if the battery drained all these days of not using the phone.....And even if I get to the APX mode, I have no idea how to proceed from there to repartition the internal phone system and get back download mode.....In the link that brother bubor posted the person who made the thread has made some files to be used when one gets into APX mode.....The PIT and emmc files which are necessary for repartitioning the system and getting the bootloader work are found in that zip file.....But that zip file is for the I9103 Galaxy R.....there isnt something like that available for the I927 yet.....And is brother bubor sure that the unbrick.img file wont work on the I927?
Give it a try with my unbrick image.
we all don't know.

Hi @alvcross: any update on this?
have you tried the SD card unbrick?
You said you cannot open the APX mode but what happens when you press the buttons for accessing the APX mode?
Try it even if you see a blank screen and then connect your Cappy with USB to your computer --> you should get a message about a missing driver or similar.
If that works I tell you how to proceed.

Ok so you may try to install the special apx drivers now. Unfortunately I'm on vacation right now so I cannot upload them elsewhere. I come back to you next week.

Ok could you please try these driver package here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/adb-fb-apx-driver-universal-naked-t1379875
Follow the instructions there for installing
The next step (if the driver would work for you) will be to flash a working PIT to your device to make sure you are using the correct partitions.
Afterwards we will flash the bootloader (may absolutely brick your device if not done correctly) and then --> if all goes fine --> you should be able to flash in download mode whatever you want to.
So it is still a long way to go and I need to check all the steps first before actually we can proceed.
That may take longer so do not expect that this will be something in the next days.. sorry.
Update:
If the above universal driver do NOT work for you: Test these one here View attachment apx_driver_samsung.zip

Thanks for the speedy reply Sir......Ill do as you said and let you know Sir......thank you.....thank you.....thank you Sir....

But when I open minimal adb and fastboot and type 'adb devices' the phone doesn't show up in the 'list of devices attached'....the line after 'list of devices attached' is just empty.....Also the phone doesnt show up in odin....what should I do next Sir?

nvidia apx isnt fastboot/adb device. You can found tool on nvidia site ( more info https://ac100.grandou.net/nvflash ), this tool can read and write whole flash.
Before you could use nvidia's tool, you must send an uniq blob to your phone. APX mode is useless without this blob.
This blob is uniq for every phone.

Reboot to bootloader and post a picture of it here
you can try to flash RUU if it's available for your device maybe it will fix your issue if it's a software issue

IIIOpen up the phone,it's not that hard..Sim card reader is on sister board,left upper side(don't forget,it's reverse when it's layed down on the screen).bellow Sim card reader you'll see silver/gold flat cable that goes from motherboard down under sister board(just bellow sim card reader).It's loose contact under the sisterboard.You have to remove motherboar to be able to pull up sisterboard.If you suddenly won't be able to detect sim card or having bad reception,this is problem and the way to fix it.Btw,camera and sim,are going thru that cable.I had dead rear camera for 6 months(only Zoe,small cam worked),and no sim contact also.3 times phone was at repair,they all said it was software fault but they don't know how to fix it.Few days ago,I cracked,opened it up by my self(YouTube guide),just to find out that the wire(cable) wasn't even attached under the sisterboard.If you won't be able to fix it with software,try with this.
Edit:if you dropped your phone in near past,or something like that,it's 100% that wire.ill send you picture.
