Hi guys need some help I think I just screwed my phone up big time, yesterday I flashed this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286893 and was having loss of service issues so I reverted to stock kernel and now I CANNOT connect to wifi or 4G at all.

Try re-downloading the tar.md5 file and then re-flash it through odin, you may have a bad flash or a corrupt file, either way you'll cover both possibilities by doing the above

Odin a stock Rom and it will be back to normal

I already flashed that with odin, thats what gave me the no wifi/4G issues.

actually this is better, I just realized that was a kernel only and reverting back to a stock ROM, like the one in the link would be a much better resolution for someone in your situation, hope it works out!..EDITED...really??? If this is what gave you the issues to begin with, then maybe try redownloading and reflash this file ...BTW being that this is a new account Im restrict to post 1/5mins, so thats why Im a bit late in case you're wondering

Do it again with a different cable it should work Samsungs cables are notorious for causing issues
update profile when done

Like he said re download the file and odin again. You may have had a bad download. So download it again and odin.

Just stay calm if you can get into DL mode it will be fine. HTC and BB cables work great for Odin

Thanks a bunch guys, ill try that again and report whats up. By the way, what's the "Z image" ? I see a link to download it above the .tar file?
Ok so I redownloaded and flashed the stock Kernel, still no wifi/4G. As an experiment I went back to the custon Kernel I had before and everything is working with that one. I just dont want to keep it because of the loss of service issues. This sucks .

Who is waiting for the OTA

Just curious how many of you are still waiting for the OTA vs upgrading vs kies?
I dont know why, I just have a preference to wait for the OTA to come.

Why? LoL!
10char!

I think only a few are left now.. I think weve covered them
ツ

Haha, I am weird just like you, I am waiting for the OTA as well.. My wife just got hers tonight... Boo

I got sick of waiting, updated via kies. Ugh, what a bloated mess.

Oh yeah... When I first got this phone, I was looking through it... I was absolutely amazed at how much bloat there was... I even think I have convinced my wife to let me root her phone just so she can get rid of all that bloat

Update with Kies mini
Hi can you please provide a step by step how you were able to get it through kies? Because I have kies mini up on my laptop and when connected, it says that I have to reconnect phone again. Can you please go through step by step how you were able to connect to receive the update? I hate waiting for the OTA. Thanks

I meant kies itself, but you're right.. the phone itself is bloated to hell.
And prince, go here and download the software. Install and make sure your phone is charged. Plug in with usb and you're good to go.
http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/

i got my phone last night and came straight home a updated through kies, it was easy. I was kinda on the fence about using kies because of all the vibrants it bricked back in the day. But it was easier than i thought, it took about 30 min due of my slow ass 3mb dsl.
Now can someone point me on how to root? Superoneclick isn't working anymore so can someone point me to the right thread? Thanks.

I finally broke down and tried to update through Kies... My computer shut down halfway through the process because of a stupid windows update.. Now it is stuck in 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.'
Kies won't recognize my phone, neither will Odin... Any ideas from you genius's out there?
EDIT: Nevermind, I only bought it 2 days ago, so I just exchanged the phone

No clue, I've gotten no OTA yet either
Nothing rom wise seems really exciting yet making me wants to root, I'd like to have that wifi calling though

I got my notice for an ota update yesterday, but I was rooted and it wouldn't install.
so I installed the update via kies and rerooted. worked great.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

I just got three of these phones for my family, and they all updated different times within a couple of days within each other.

Do the OTAs come throughout the day or are they released at one given time to the random recipients, say 7AM for all those scheduled to get it?

Also do I have to check via settings if the firmware is available or does it just pop up on the phone?
Thanks

Still waiting. This stinks....
Anyone else care to chime in if they are still waiting??

[Q] Possible brick? Any ideas?

Hey guys, I think I screwed up here and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem:
Basically, I had a rooted E4G Touch with a custom ROM installed. I went to install ANOTHER custom ROM THROUGH ODIN, as this previous ROM (I believe it was a Calkulin variant) did NOT have CWM recovery. During the ODIN process, something went wrong, and my computer/ODIN...basically, everything froze up while doing the MODEM portion. NOW I can't do anything.
- CWM was able to install on the thing...but it does not recognize my external SD card now. Every time I try to mount it, I get a "Error mounting /emmc".
- I'm still able to get into download mode on the phone, however the phone is not recognized on any computer I've tried. I've attempted multiple computers/USB cords and nothing picks it up.
I'm running out of ideas here. I picked up a USB jig that should be here soon, so I'm going to try that and reset the counter....which leads me to my next question: If I use that, can I take the thing back to Sprint and get a replacement? I have the insurance plan and everything, so if they won't take it back because of the custom software I guess I could always smash it or something...
Any help would be appreciated!

The ROM you flashed through ODIN was for this phone, right?
What custom ROM are you referring to that was available through ODIN?

assuming you flashed the right ROM, start with the basics..if you can get into download mode then try a simple reboot of your computer. Sometimes Odin won't recognize after it has been run

It was the CyanogenMod 9 rom that is out there right now. IN the post (I'm having trouble finding it as I'm not at that computer right now) they had an ODIN variation for people such as myself, where you were to flash that and then go back through to update it to the latest version.

I attempted this as well Went through and rebooted the computer with the phone plugged in. Rebooted with it not plugged in. Plugged the phone in with ODIN on the screen and started it up. Started it up unplugged, went into download mode on the phone, and then plugged it in. Still nothing.
And I just realized I posted this in General and not Q&A...and chance I could get this moved since I am clearly out of my mind right now?

The only odin component involved with flashing CM9 is flashing a gb kernel with a CWM recovery. I haven't seen a cm9 tar, this is why I'm confused. Finding out exactly what you flashed will help in understanding what the problem is.
To flash cm9 you need to odin a gb cwm kernel and then boot to recovery and install cm9. However, that's not a tar, its an update.zip.

Yeah it was definitely a tar.md5 file, which leads me to believe I was incredibly dumb and possibly flashed a ROM for a different model phone. I'm having difficulty finding the post now which is very strange. This could be one of those moments where I take a good hard look in the mirror and figure out just what the heck I was thinking.
I'll keep looking for what exactly I did wrong, but in the mean time is there anything else I could attempt or look for short of attempting that USB jig and making a trip to Sprint? I'm feeling like a huge idiot right now. I've done this how many times now and when I finally make a mistake, it turns out to be huge.

Well ultimately you can try uninstalling / reinstalling drivers. But you say this issue exists across multiple pcs so that likely isn't it.
You can try another cable and see if you have any success with that.
Other then that, it kinda really depends what is in that tar you flashed. Once you find it, post the link, and that will help troubleshoot your issue.

Negative, I started right at the "Using the noob-proof ODIN method:". It said noob-proof and I decided that would be the easiest. It turns out it is very easy...if you're flashing to the correct phone Plus, I'd used ODIN before and felt comfortable with it.

Ha ha that's the first one for this method......look up jtag they may fix it for u if u don't have USB .... About 60 with shipping

I just downloaded the tar to have a look at whats included.
After flashing this you'll have a bootloader for the intl. sgs2. This is a problem many ran into when original SGS2 leaked tars started surfacing as well.
JTAG might be able to fix it, I'm not sure whether people with this issue were successful or not with JTAG repair as the intl gs2 flashing boat seems to have sailed now. However, a jig will likely do nothing, unfortunately.

Ok thank you for your help on this. You don't think a jig will reset the counter or anything so that I can take it back to Sprint? If not, I'm not above "dropping" it on the ground and using the insurance I have on it for a replacement.

I don't foresee it working only because your phone isn't recognized by your pc and the problem doesnt lie on the pc side.
The problem is instead with the port on the phone which leads me to believe it won't recognize a jig either.
A jtag if successful will leave you with more money in your pocket and a non-returb. Something to consider if you've got a backup phone you can use for a few days.

I don't see sprint replacing it with cm9 On it .... And u will need mobile Odin to get back to stock but with it not mounting the Emmc probably can't do that .... That is your hope to get back to stock using mobile Odin someway .... Triangle away app will reset Odin count but with no radio you need to get apps to do it and no sd from what u said ...maybe tell insurance u lost it and get it replaced
Jtag should work also since there is no emmc failure like the blue light of death bricks ...

[Q] Can't turn on my S3 NEED HELP!!!

Hi all, I was trying to uninstall some of the softwares from my S3, I uninstalled some of them, those are some tmobile softwares. But I soon found out when I restarted my phone it just stuck at the "samsung" logo.I tried to install a rom to resolve the problem but odin just kept showing that "FAIL". I reinstall a clockworkmod.tar by using odin( I don't know why I did that...><). But when it finished and restarted again it could no long turn on again. Can anyone help me with this problem? I just bought the phone yesterday and I already went to exchange for a new one couple hours ago, no sure tmobile would let me exchange it again. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

If you see this post, you should just reflash your current Rom or any Rom will replace all the files you altered or deleted. Might undo all that you just did, but that's better than having a phone that doesn't boot.

This doesnt sound like a complete brick. Odin is pretty smart these days and avoids flashing the wrong stuff. And the recoveries are interchangeable between the us variants. that wouldnt of caused a brick

[Q] By this point, i just want my phone back...

Its 2:30 in the morning. Its been all day. I dont come to ask a question on XDA unless i literally cannot for the life of me find the answer anywhere else on the whole of google.
For me, whether someone can help me here will make or break me writing off android as the worst operating system ever made, and moving back to iPhone full time.
Ill cut it short. I've owned PLENTY of android devices. All rooted and rommed and modded to my hearts content. Recently traded my i5 for a Galaxy Note 2- i317 AT&T. Rooted first night and running jedi xp14 ever since. Loved it.
Earlier today im jamming to some music with my new Monster Inspirations that i got brand new for half off (great deal). Phone reboots. Comes back. It has a circle with a slash across it (cancel sign) where my signal used to be. Im looking through settings when it reboots again. I soon realize every set amount of time (about 87 seconds) it just crashes and reboots. Flash a different rom. No signal. Reboots. Go back to old rom. Same problem. Attempt clockworkmod restore. No md5sum (it says mismatch.... Clockworkmod recovery is the most POS, stupid, moronic recovery have ever witnessed in my life. the status 7 fails and no ability to say F**K IT, IDC about md5sum JUST FLASH IT BECAUSE THIS IS AN EMERGENCY is just plain ignorant development.) I cant restore. I cant flash a different rom. No one i know knows what to do. No one on the internet seems to have the same problem. I could lose my job if i dont have a fully functioning phone by tomorrow with email and call capabilities.
I have no idea how to use odin aside from when i rooted my note 2 as i cant actually find a guide for it. i have a mame0142.zip thats apparently a AT&T modem i can flash and might save the day. I have no idea how to use it. I'm expected to know everything about everything. No begnngers guides. Im also out of state, in Florida, and now without a phone. Luckily i have a laptop, so i might have a chance at this. This is actually an emergency. I literally cannot sleep tonight until i know my phone is going to be working tomorrow. If its not i'll be driving over it with my Beetle and going to buy an i5 because i can't wait. I need my phone for my job. Also i have a lot of respect for the people of XDA, but please don't call me stupid, tech illiterate, a sheep, or blind because i would rather switch to Apple then have my phone have a critical failure from listening to Mixzing.
I feel like flashing the stock At&T i317 Modem/ Radio will fix the problem. Anyone who knows wher ei can find that and then what to do with that once i get it would greatly be appreciated.
I've no idea what caused this or how to fix it. I really, really, really dont care what has to be done, but my phone NEEDS to work by tomorrow.I dont care what rom/kernel/ anything it has to run to get it back to working, because if i cant get it fixed it's just going right in the trash. ANY help would be appreciated. I really don't want to spend money right now.
Thank you for your time reading my problem.

Awesome, thank you. now, I havent seen a good thread on what exactly you do with a Modem, or at least not one for a beginner. Can i flash it from CWM same as a kernel or rom or is this something that needs special treatment on a computer or something?

That modem is CWM/TWRP flashable. A good check is normally to open up the zip if it has a META-INF its normally a CWM file. If it has a .pda ect its an odin file

For now ill just hit thanks and go pass out, but rest assured that you have managed to save me from the grasp of Apple. Thanks! (Flashing the modem worked wonders.)

And please try not to judge android too harshly ...
The note 2 is an excellent device....and worthy of the credits it receives...
The beauty is it's simplicity....
After all ....you've managed to take a borked up device and flash the entire OS in minutes...
A feat that you couldn't dream of with apple...
Well done...and happy flashing...g
