[Q] Standing droid w/ revolving stick ball?

What does the standing android with a revolving stick ball at waist level mean? Sorry if this seems basic.
Thanks

Link to pic?

The photo is attached.

The reason I'm asking.....I was checking to see if I still had CWM but found that I had stock recovery. When trying to select reboot I hit the setting button and the standing droid came up and has been there for almost 2 hours.

have you fixed this ?
if not thats from the stock recovery if your trying to flash something (most likely your on ics roms) then re odin EL26 w/CWM and flash whatever rom/addon your trying to flash.. IF your just trying to reboot your phone just pull the battery re insert it and hit the power button..

Ah, bugdroid. We meet again.

One of the buttons turns that on and off. It's like a screensaver. You don't have to reboot to get rid of it, though. I think it's what happens when you hit the google search capacitive button, but I don't have stock recovery to check atm.

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.
Ali

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

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.

Boot it holding the volume up button. This should get you into so-called "recovery" where you can, among other things, restore it to defaults.
If recovery also doesn't work (which would be unusual), boot it holding volume DOWN button. This will get you into a "download" mode where you can use ODIN to flash new recovery (such as CWM recovery which is very nice and powerful), or even flash entire firmware from scratch.
Good luck, let us know how it goes ~
[edit] oh and do all that while having it connected to USB power, in case the battery is empty.

still doesnt work

I think the download mode should basically always work...

Anything doesn't work , When I boot while holding HOME and volume up (recovery) appears the blue advice in the upper left corner and about 2 segs after the cellphone restart again, again and so on, When I boot with the down (download) the process on kies working good but when ends the cellphone restart again, again and so on. I'm start to think that something in the hardware is damage :crying:

looks like you messed something up there...
Anyway, if your phone is rooted, and/or you don't care about warranty you can get it in download mode (you said it works fine with kies until reset, so I suppose it means that download mode is at least accessible).
And after that use Odin to reinstall the stock rom completely.
Or, again with Odin install custom recovery, and then whatever ROM you like.
While working with odin, be sure to stick to the guides here on XDA. (for a custom recovery see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980)

If you're not entirely stock you'll have trouble using Kies.
I myself had trouble when tried to revert to stock ROM from CM.
It failed to restore NANDroid backup every time, and I also didn't succeed in flashing the stock image with Odin as well.
In the end, I succeeded with this ROM (which is modified stock TW), usin ODIN. You can try this, just read and understand the instructions in the thread before you do anything.
Ironically, after a couple of days after reverting to stock rom I was so annoyed by the speed decrease compared to CM, that I reinstalled CyanogenMod back, found TouchWiz stuff I missed via separate apps, and I'm pretty happy with it ever since.
Bottom Line: anyways, if you already on custom stuff with altered warranty, you must get custom recovery working first, then it will be simple.

[Partially solved][Q] GT-N7100 download mode problem

Hello,
It's been a while since I last stepped foot in the xda forums as I've been happy with stock, however when kies pushed the 4.3 update to my Note 2 I've started having problems - my phone will not sleep. After 2 min timeout the display turns off and immediately turns itself on again. It then goes into a loop where it turns off and on again every second until I unlock it. This is playing havoc with my battery life (I only get about 6 hours from full charge now). I've tried disabling any setting that might cause this (like smart stay etc.), I downloaded wakelockdetector (doesn't detect anything), I've tested my sensors and sleep mode with #*0*# (sleep mode has the same problem here), and I've done multiple factory/hard resets (x5).
I want to go back to 4.1.2 because this problem only started happening with 4.3 except now I have a different problem - I can't get download mode to work so I can't flash any recovery/firmware. I get the download mode screen up via the usual 3-key method, however once I'm there it seems to disable my volume keys because they stop working. I can get into recovery mode without any problems and the volume keys work fine there, but once it loads up the download mode screen and prompts me to press vol up to start or vol down to cancel, no matter what I press nothing happens. I have to hold down the power key to reboot.
Does anyone have any idea why my Note 2 is so broken?
Would really appreciate some expert help here. Thanks in advance.
Other stuff I've tried: I've tried with and without my SDcard. I've tried formatting my SDcard. I've tried taking my battery out for 5 mins and then go straight to download mode, but still my vol keys won't work.
I got kies to do a firmware reinitialisation which downloaded 4.3 again and flashed my phone a second time but still the problem persists.

I guess I have no choice but to put my hope in Samsung support. It's a real kick in the teeth that the nearest official support centre is an hour and a half away from me. I think this will be the last Samsung product I buy.

How?
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but with 4.3 comes with knox and a locked bootloader. I can't load philz or twrp zip from recovery because it errors with an unsigned message and since I can't access download mode I can't use odin.

Shut down your phone. pull the battery out. connect your tether cable to the phone and USB to computer. start oden, put tar file in PDA box. don't change any other settings. Put your phone in download mode by pressing both up/down volume buttons (not Power) and insert the battery. once in download mode, click on Start on oden. As for the bloatware, you are going to get whatever apps that are in the tar file. I think Some of the bloat has been removed. Not sure what, but it seems most of it is still there. I think DriveSmart is gone

These don't appear to be the correct instructions for a N7100. Well, thanks for the bump anyway.

Hi!
Did you try to flash with mobile odin? It might be the solution if you can't access to download mode (which is weird by the way...)

I have same problem
i just flash new bootloader kitkat
"Bootloader If you have MJ5 or later bootloader then no need otherwise you have to apply Reboot and wifi Fix from post #3 above
You can get idea about current bootloader with info application
If You are not worried about warranty then I strongly recommend to flash Kitkat bootloader.
Here is Kitkat bootloader from N7100_ND3 "
and now my phone was on and it will stuck on samsung logo...
i m also not able to install stock rom
help me to downgrade 4.1 old bootloader.

Thank you!
Mobile odin worked. Got the pro version to thank Chainfire. Also managed to get root thanks to Kingo and I'll be donating to them as well.
Unfortunately even after flashing CM10 it hasn't fixed my sleep problem. Well, maybe I've got a hardware fault after all...funny that it coincided with the 4.3 update. I guess I've voided my warranty now but on the bright side I've finally ditched Samsung's bloatware and stock android. Here's hoping I can find a fix.

P605 stuck at recovery booting...need help

So I just tried to flash 4.4 on my P605 (file being P605XXUCNE2_P605OXACNE2_NEE.zip).
Sadly, I forgot to tick 'phone bootloader update' in Odin, soooo....now I'm stuck on the Samsung logo with 'Recovery booting' written in blue on the top left edge.
I've searched the Net for a solution, but all the ones I've found require me to remove my battery, which is kinda impossible on the P605 without hardware modifications.
I really need some help here, as I'm sure there is another way to get to Download Mode.

Flash stock JB rom,let it reboot then Flash Kitkat rom after... Flash TWRP 2.7.0.1 and let reboot, go into recovery, now should be TWRP, flash latest supersu.zip file(1.99r3). Now Kitkat, rooted and custom recovery.
If you don't want root and TWRP, skip those steps...
Just be aware you will have difficulty accessing external sd card with any but stock file manager and not all 3rd party apps will be allowed to use it (unless rooted)...

I had the same problem, just hold down power and down vol and get to into download mode so you can tick that bootloader update and it will work.
Took me a few goes to get it to go there... but it did work for me.. Hope that helps

I also found the flash jig for the S2 works to get to download mode...
Don't know what I mean, here's a youtube video demonstrating, just forget the bit with the battery, you just need to insert and power down - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8yqWf6JU3o

You must do it at the right moment between screen cycles. Took me 1 minute, but for some people here on forum it took 30.

What does a screen cycle mean exactly? Sorry if the question is dumb.
Edit: Just got into d/l mode.
I did that by holding Vol- and power. It restarted a couple of times but in the end it got there. Thanks for all the help.

Try Power + Volume Down + Home instead of just Power + Volume Down, there is a different if you are stuck.
