Hi All,
I downloaded Xda_II_172181_Final.exe from the O2 download site and tried to upgrade my XDA II, about 45% into completion my laptop froze and the upgrade software terminated. Now cannot turn on or access my XDA II. Please help!
Many Thanks
Please can someone help me.
I thought this website was the one for all XDA issues.
much appreciated.

"1. Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:
DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton
After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.
Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.
You are in bootloader mode now.
2. Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle
is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub
and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.
It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.
Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".
3. Run HimaUpgradeUt_noid.exe
4. Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed
on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading radio stack, please wait',
but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.
5. Detach your device from the cradle.
6. Now you have to hardreset your device.
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.

I think this is not the right method, this is for the wm5 bootloader 1.06. Hard resetting is just the power button and the reset button. there is no HimaUpgradeUt_noid.exe in the said installer. I have that installer too!
Hi guys,
Sucess at last!
I have managed to resolve the problem with my XDAII, by going into bootloader mode and re-running Xda_II_172181_Final.exe again. This file had the HimaUpgradeUt_noid.exe and all the other rom image files to do the job.
Many Thanks! - especially Rudegar for his help on.
buzzdev have HimaUpgradeUt_noid.exe
one can use the HimaUpgradeUt,exe too if
one have the same rcode as the rom
or want to do the changes manualy
I think my kaiser is bricked somehow. I left it sitting on my charger and came back and it was frozen and now when I turn it on nothing happens except the green light comes on. I can sometimes by messing around with the power plug and battery get it back into android but I cannot even bring up my bootloader anymore. I have no idea if its bricked or whats wrong with it.
Please define messing arround with power plug and battery . Did you try another battery? Battery contacts, miniusb contacts...worst case, something is burned inside. Camera+power+reset doesn't work?
Also, check what was your wife doing before you came back
lol she would never do anything to my phone. By playing with the power plug I mean just plugging it in and taking it out and what not. It's really hard to define it, I would just say ****ing with it lol.
I've come to the conclusion that the radio in my tilt died. Why must my phones always die from a dead radio =( android still works but I can't get into the bootloader anymore and I can't flash a new kernel or even reinstall. Will be nice to see how long this lasts lmao
Can you dump your kaiser to see what is left in our rom?
Follow this procedure to dump your kaiser:
First you have to install QPST (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OW3ERRNB)
1. Turn on kaiser , now you enter the OEMSBL. You will see nothing on your phone!
2. Your computer will ask drivers for a device if you didn't installed the MotoQ drivers before. Point it to the extracted drivers!
3. If QPST is installed on your computer, disable the com port in the QPST Configurator.
4. Launch mtty and select your com port that is listed as Qualcomm Dignostic Interface 6000 (Comx) in the device manager.
5. Type "h" <Return>
6. if you got any output continue to 7 else pull out the battery, reinsert it and restart at 1
7. type "radata 90000000 1" : Your kaiser is now in loading mode.
8. Close mtty
9. launch the QPST configurator and add the comport and ENABLE it.
10. remove the usb cable of the phone, and reinsert it.
11. your phone must now be listed as Q/QCP-xxx (download)
12. Launch the "QPST Memory Debug" tool to dump smi.bin and ebi.bin
13. Click on browse to select the right com port
14. Click on "Get Regions"
15. Click on "saveto..." to save the files to a directory
16. Zip the files and send it to me.

Would be nice if my kaiser was detecting still... It's weird. It's almost like it has no boot loader but yet it will still sorta boot android.
If the Green led comes on, you are in the OEMSBL. Does your computer asks for drivers when you connect your kaiser to your computer? Ifso, you need the MotoQ drivers (found in this forum) to connect your kaiser OEMSBL to your computer. Then you can use MTTY to talk with it. (if you type something you will not see any output. Only after presing enter/return.
If you need help, let me know.
I've used mtty before. The green led DOES come on but it does not detet at all on my computer. It is not asking for any drivers. When I plug it in nothing happens
then it goes further then the oemsbl.
If it boots Android, it must pass the SPL, so did you try to hold the camera button and then turn on your device? If the SPL tricolor shows, then you can flash. (in theory)

I've tried to get into the tricolor screen but it is not working with camera + Power and battery insert or on Camera+power+soft reset. I used to have an HTC screen I added display before the kernel loaded. Now the first thing I see is my loading screen for android around a minute or so later only when it's plugged into power.
That's strange. And what is happening when you press the green phone key and powerup? (OEMSBL boot) keep pressing the green button for 5 secs If the green led comes on. Then connect your phone to your computer. Does it appear in the windows device manager?
Does not detect in device manager at all, not even as an unknown device. It's as if nothing was plugged in
If it is not listed as a serial port device. (ports Com & LPT)
then it is not in the OEMSBL. Is your device Security unlocked? If not this can explain why it doesn't enter the OEMSBL with the green button.
Did you also try to put an upgrade file (KAISIMG.NBH) on your root of the SD card?
Maybe this will get launched when your device is turned on?

I'll try that out as i've always flashed via usb. Also it is Security unlocked and it is SIM unlocked too.
Nope that did not do a thing. I took a WM rom nbh renamed it to KAISIMG and set it on the root of the SD and it did nothing.
Oh yes, you are right.
in order to load the KAISIMG.NBH, you have to enter the SPL.
hold Camera button and power on. wait 2 secs and unpress the camera button. Then wait for 1 minute, and press the power button again (Power button = start flashing, action key = cancel).
just tried that and still nothing out of my phone
massivekid, i have very similar problem, but my phone turned on.
I dont can turn on bootloader , i try very much metods and any working.
my phone always turn on Smart Mobility i can't change android kernel/back to the windows
few times i tun my pda on blinking yellow led, but computer no see the device
but it still boots into android?
then a jumpspl for android would cure it ;-)
Can you try this one?:
- Remove USB cable/cradle
- Remove battery and re-insert it
- Hold Camera and insert the USB cable.
What do you see now?
The reason why i ask this, is that you have told me that it boots android when you insert the power/usb cable and you see output after 1 min or so when booting android. This behaviour was added to android to let the battery charge...
So the poweron procedure difference from when you press the power button, or when you let the kaiser charge...
Hi fellows,
A friend of mine just came back from US with a Galaxy Tab 3 Kids wondering if portuguese language will appear on the device when he lands on Rio. This surely didn´t happened.
He is pissed off with Best Buy guys that told him this bull****.
I´m trying to help him since his little boy doesn´t speak english.
Is it OK to pick the brazilian stock firmware (ZTO) that I´ve found here (http://samsung-updates.com/details/16066/Galaxy_Tab_3_Kids/SM-T2105/ZTO/T2105UBAMK1.html) and using ODIN to flash on a US device?
If someone could tell me the necessary steps, I´ll be very thankfull.
All best,

The way is simple, you must flash the Firmware with Odin
( i have modified the instruction from gr8nole thread Recovery and root ) hit thanks by gr8nole http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433853
the way are the same
1. Download ODIN and USB drivers on your computer (just do a google search to find it...version 3.07 will work fine). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539
2. Power off the device.
3. Restart in "Download Mode" by holding the "HOME" button, "Volume Down" and "Power" all at the same time (for about 5 seconds).
4. Hit the "Volume Up" to enter download mode.
5. Start the ODIN exe program.
6. Connect the device via USB to your computer. Verify the device shows as "Added" in the Message box. If it doesn't show then you need the Samsung USB drivers (just install KIES to get them).
7. Select "PDA" then choose the Firmware file you want to flash, but the file must be an *.tar or *.tar.md5.
8. Hit "START"
9. Wait for device to restart.
I hope these are helpful

Thanks so much. It worked perfect!!!
Hi to all.
I finally unbricked my s5839i.
I dont know if it works for other Samsung models but it worked fine to my device. So if you are not sure dont do it.
1. First thing to do is to download Odin3 v3.04
2. Last thing you have to dounload this .rar file it contain all the files needed.http://www.4shared.com/rar/PyUe5q3X/S5839i_ODIN_AND_FILES_.html it worked fine.It is not my language but i couldn't find something else.
4. After you have finished dounloading, run Odin3 v3.04.
a. Click BOOTLOADER button and select: BOOT_S5839iBVLC2_REV00.tar.md5
b. Click PDA button and select: PDA_S5839iBVLC3_REV00.tar.md5
c. Click Phone button and select: MODEM_S5839iBVLC1_REV00.tar.md5
d. Click CSC button and select: GT-S5839i-csc_ext-IDELC1.tar.md5
5. Put your phone into Download Mode: Press Power + Volume Up+Down and in the Warning screen press the volume up.
Connect USB cable to your phone and the program must read the Com number it takes.
Click Start button in Odin3 v3.04 and the update process will start.
Do not touch or remove anything till the device rebooted and you can see PASS word on the program.
Thats it.Your phone reboots into android.It may take longer to boot ,so be patient.
Now you can change the language to your native one.
I hope i helped.
If you dont get it watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDRgFfPK6JE
If you follow these steps, you do it on your oun risk.
Couple questions
I just picked up a SM-G960F/DS for experimenting with and am wondering about rooting it. I haven't put a SIM in it yet. Can it be used without a SIM card? I don't plan on using it as a phone just connecting it to Wi-Fi and experimenting with it. I am not sure what firmware to put on it. It came with BUILD R16NW.G960FXXU1BRF8. I live in Canada and I am not sure which firmware to download for it.
As far as rooting goes does it need a SIM in it to do any of this? Can i just add my Google account to get my Apps on it after rooting?
I have not rooted anything since my S6 and searched a bit and think this is the steps to root the S9.
I think that I should first be on latest Firmware before starting this?
Steps as I found info on process to get Root
got Odin3_v3.14.1.zip on PC and USB drivers - my SM-G960W connects okay
1 enable OEM unlock on phone
Downloaded twrp-3.3.1-1-starlte.img for S9 to PC
Use Bixby Key+Volume Down+Power to enter Download Mode and connect the device to PC USB
2 Open Odin and un-tick auto reboot in "options" tab, make sure that device is detected, Put twrp-3.3.1-1-starlte.img file into AP tab, Click Start
3 When Odin shows "PASS", disconnect the usb cable and press simultaneously the "Bixby key" + "Vol. Down" + "Power" buttons until the download mode disappears
At the precise moment the screen becomes black, immediately release the "Vol.Down" button and press the "Bixby key" + "Vol. UP" + "Power" buttons during 10 to 15sec to forcefully enter TWRP recovery
4 in TWRP swipe "Allow modifications"
5 Go into Wipe menu and select "Format data"
6 Reboot into TWRP recovery again, swipe to "Allow modification" connect phone to PC again Put RMM-State_Bypass.zip and no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1.zip zips into external sdcard (or does this get done all in step 5?)
7 Flash RMM-State_Bypass.zip
8 Flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1 zip
9 Reboot the phone into system Setup Google account.
now it gets confusing as to what to do for root...
So any help?
I imagine that the first thing I need to figure out is what firmware to download for it.
