Hey everyone! I'm new here in a way with this being my first post but have been on xda for months lurking the forums and absorbing information having to do with samsung vibrant to now the g2. Before i ask my question I must say this website is the best website i have EVER got any sort of information about phones and everything and anything you can possibly do with them! And want to say thank you to EVERYONE who makes it possibly! Now for the question and some sort of problem. I permrooted my g2 last night and everything to my knowledge has gone well. I also even turned S-Off and now i can boot into recovery no problem. The only problem I seem to have and can't find the solution through google or on the forums is that when I have my phone completely powered down and put it on the charger after it's powered down the phone will just automatically boot into recovery without me even doing it. It says "go back to end debugging" when I go to check the key test and I really don't understand what and where it's talking about debugging when I just have my phone plugged into a outlet. If anyone has this problem or maybe has solved this with some sort of solution your insight would be greatly appreciated.

Anyway I just looked in this sub forum and have not read anything in depth yet. I have practice flashing roms on my phone so I am not a complete newbie...but not far..
So is the instructions in the flash thread still the one to follow exactly as written? I only ask because I saw somewhere that the G tablet has been updated and some roms are no longer good (not sure if this is true?)
Anyway I will be getting this tablet soon and want to flash it before I even use it (with at least gingerbread if not honeycomb), so any tips or hints would be appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance!!!

Tip 1: Post General (like this) or Q/A (like "how do I...?") posts in the General or Q/A forums, not in THIS forum, which (as you can see by the Stickied Posts you passed over) is just for developers to post about their things, and for you to give them feedback in their threads.
Tip 2: be sure you understand the whole 1.1 vs 1.2 bootloader thing
Tip 3: have fun!
Sorry for posting in the wrong place. I am so used to the phone section (which is where we post these questions) that I just assumed it was the same setup.
Can a Mod please move this thread to the correct forum please?
thanks
I don't think there is another tab with as much interests as this one.
That said I hope you know about the screen viewing angle issue. I haven't really noticed it but some people have cried bloody murder.

Hey guys, I'm not sure why but my prime keeps booting into recovery mode. I read some posts here on the site but most of them refer to phones and talk about removing the battery which isn't really an option here.
I've tried completely shutting it down. Cleared the cache/dalvik cache. I even tried restoring to a recent nandroid. The restore completes without a problem, but it still reboots right back into recovery.
What are my options here?
Thanks guys.
are you rooted & unlocked? if so, there's a fix in prime developement section for bootlooped prime. check out bricked prime thread by Diamondback. post your issue in there.

Yes I am rooted and unlocked. I'll check out that thread, I appreciate it a lot!
It's very nice of demandarin to have answered your query, but I have to ask, did you even read any of the stickies in any of the sections of the Prime Forum before posting?
I'm sorry for venting at you, as you were extremely polite in asking your question, but I do despair these days, I really do.
Well first off, that thread worked great, it's booting properly as we speak. (Thanks again!)
Secondly, the reason I didn't really go into development because I didn't think it was a question for them. I would have never even thought of reading a "bricked" thread because I always thought a bricked device was completely unresponsive.
Like I said in my original thread, I did search for the problem, but without keywords like "bootloop" or "brick" (neither which I was searching for), I would't have found what I was looking for.
All in all it looks like this forum once again did exactly what it was meant to do. Which is not only help someone in technical need, but also teach them a little more about the device in question.

Again, I apologise for venting a little. I'm happy that you found what you needed, and I'm glad that you feel that you've learned something. I'm just getting horribly cynical in my old age.
You get thanks for actually taking the time to learn.

You can't. I see you have created 3 threads on that issue on different forums, so I think a mod can delete this thread if you want. And I think this should be only on the q/a forum so a mod should merge the thread from general thread into the one you have on q/a.

oh ok i see thanks a lot :highfive:
second page already and no help for the guy?
Yeah dude wrong forum, your bad on that. But in the spirit of trying to fix a problem then add to it, i would advise that you go here and read the op and all instructions word for word and see if maybe the answer to getting you back up and going is in there. I suspect that this is the place to get the fix if the fix is something you can actually get.
A bit of advice. If you ain't made it you don't post it here. If there is a Question in the OP of your new thread then chances are you should be in the Q&A forum. Mistakes are honest and thats cool. This thread will be deleted or moved to Q&A by a mod and you will be able to live this horrible mistake down.
More advice unrealted to the location of the posting but more in regards to the content of the post.
Your bricked, ok well then goodluck. Oh wait you wanted help? I got ya, i was confused and thought you were just telling me about your bad day. See What people need to be able to help you is.... Details, over abundant details that are key to getting your stuff worked out.
Are you cdma? or gsm? I assume cdma cause your in the wrong section yet its still a cdma section.
What rom were you on?
What hboot number?
What was the last thing that you did right before you discovered your problem? If it was "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" then stop posting throw the phone away and start anew with the next device. cause ye be burnt.
Details Details Details, if you think that it may be a random tidbit that's totally unrelated then make sure you include that in your DETAILS.
Tell us what instructions/thread you were following in your attempt to relock.
What steps worked and what didnt?
Hell tell us some other stuff it could be helpful in helping people help you.
Hope you can get it fixed, if not look for a broken screen device on ebay and do a board swap. Just make sure its got a good esn before you buy it.
And in addition, for all who posted in this thread, we all know that he made a mistake by posting in the wrong sections, but at least attempt to get him to not have to keep posting all over the place desperate for some help, by actually helping the guy. He said hes bricked. Well its got some function to it still so why did none of the people who posted to flame the guy actually take the 10 seconds to hit your browser back button and right click copy link on the UNBRICK thread then return here and post the link? Seriously guys show some sympathy and help your fellow forum goers out. This is a community of some some very very bright individuals and some not as brite or sorta dim newbs that are trying to learn things. Learning and discovering is the basis of the whole xda forums. Its really not that hard to just post a link and send dude another step into the right direction than to post one after another about how hes should have not been here asking for help. We all know that a mod will delete this crap anyways so why the hell not just post a helpful link or some sensible advice and move on with your day?
Come on we can do better than that.

Hey OP this is the guy who can get you fixed up. I've been around the 3d dev section every day of my life for the last 2 years and he is one who honestly knows his stuff. Get on the offer while its standing. I got alot on my plate and I'm more instruction follower than instruction giver but I will look up your other posts a little later and see if I may be able to lend some help. Good luck I hope it works out for the best.
Next time you sell a rooted phone just flash an ruu or the equivalent and smile at the buyer. If they know about root and what it is they will be happy its rooted if they dont know then they will probably never find out cause they aint gonna be pulling no complex key combos to boot the bootloader to see your root/soff unlock/lock status.
Hello,
So, I've got my Samsung S II that I actually got for a guy for being bricked.
The phone got in to bootloader, recovery et.c but stuck.
So I started up ODIN and followed some steps here given on the forum.
Very strange things happened, ODIN stuck while trying to "flash" it, and took about 12 hours before the program actually crashed.
Now I have a bricked phone.
Totally Black Screen (doesn't matter with combos for VOL UP/DOWN + HOME + POWER)
No logos, nothing, just black.
Warm battery (tested with another one)
On the back it says:
Model: GT-I9100
SSN: -I9100GSMH
Swedish sold phone, used to have Telia/Halebop as a sim if that's any help.
At the first 2-3 times after the "failure" of Odin-flashy thingy I could actually see the phone.
Now I can't see it at all in Odin (tried v3.07,v3.06,v3.04,v1.85,v1.83) without finding the unit at all.
Phone is not recognized in Device-manager, doesn't matter which "combo" I use.
And NO, Samsung Kies is uninstalled, I've reinstalled the drivers, still nothing.
Any Windows-related problem? (Linux might work(?), if so, how?).
or is it just bricked and I will need to get a JTAG, or create my own (3x100ohms resistors connected to micro usb => plug in to phone?).
Best regards,
This will be a present for my girlfriend, and I really want this **** to work.
Best wishes, Andreas
Dont tell me you bothered to search because you're a liar!
This 100000% exact situation has already been asked/answered and discussed to infinity so there is absolutely no need whatsoever for yet another topic simply to duplicated topics that already exist.
Yes it can be a ***** to have a bricked phone but that doesn't mean you can just create yet more clutter on forum

I've searched the forums; no-one that I could find, I could search bad, even the suggested threads didn't even make it to my level of "brick".
Thanks for such a warm greeting.
And I've tried to come up with so many things that I can relate to the problems and ways I've tried.
So maybe some help and start being polite.

No, I haven't. Why would I say I have searched and not have?
Instead of harassing and complaining, make an effort to solve the problem.
Hum...he doesn't work for you, I din't either, but he was trying to tell you that you now got a brick.

Hey everyone, I am stuck. Finally got around to playing, and ran the Brightstar RUU to change phone into Dev edition. Everything went perfect thanks to all these great threads here, but now I don't have ANY recovery installed. I didn't notice if it was gone after S-Off'ing, or after the RUU, but now nothing. Has anyone heard of this, and can I put a recovery back on? I DL'd a stock, but I really would like CWM. If anyone can point me in the right direction, much thanks.

Hey, I wanted to thank everyone for NOT posting any answers. Through the help of these forums, I was able to muddy my way through and find the solutions that I seek. Another learning experience for sure. Solution is that even though phone was S-Off, the bootloader had to be RE-unlocked to flash a recovery. But I am sure everyone but me knew that

Sorry I didn't see your question in time, just so you know (or i guess you figured out), no-one really monitors the at&t forums. In it's best times their were only about 25 of us in here. In the future take your questions and concerns to the international One forums and you'll have much better luck. At one time their was talk of combining the two forums because all the GSM phones are basically identical.

Oh no, it really is ALL good, I learned so much from it, and it came from both the forums. That's what this site is all about, at least for me it is. I am dang proud of being able to take all the knowledge and posts and ACTUALLY make it work for myself without giving up. The people on this site are just awesome! Just one problem, and thanks to the posts, I learned 5 new tricks!
