So I'm trying to Odin the EB01 full package and atlas_v2.2.pit with repartition checked per Gizmodroid's instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017817. Unfortunately, I started the process without fully disabling my antivirus (had all the buttons unchecked but hadn't clicked save changes). I figured this out when Odin wasn't as snappy as it normally is. So, I switched off antivirus with Odin still running, but it's been on "Set Partition" for, oh, about 10 minutes now.
If I turn off or disconnect the phone in the middle, will I just have to start over, or will terrible things happen?
You should be fine. Just open odin and reflash. I have had to restart Odin numerous times.
Thanks, it seems to be working it's way through it again.

Since updating to JI6 (via Odin), I have no wi-fi connection. In settings, Wi-Fi reads: "Turning off..." It's grayed out, and pressing on it has no effect.
I upgraded via Odin after my OTA attempt failed, requiring wiping the phone and reinstalling stock via Odin.
Possibly relatedly -- I don't know -- after the upgrade I could not reinstall some of my applications, most notably (for me) the New York Times app. Yesterday, apparently spontaneously, I was able to install it and another app - the Easy Answer button.
I'd appreciate any suggestions for a fix or even just trouble-shootings.

Are you rooted?
If so install rom manager, boot into boot recovery, fix permissions. if all else fails, try a nand recovery, hope this helps.
I've had Cyanogenmod 9 nightlies on my SGS2 since April. I didn't install every single one, but pretty much only those with good ratings, specifically those that had no complains about battery drain and heating...
Currently on the 06-28-2012 nightly. This ran fine at first, but over time, it started to occasionally crash into Kernel Panic. I figured I'd just pick a new nightly, but then I ended up having to travel and installation of a new nightly got delayed.
Now I'm home, and I can't use the phone at all, cause it crashes into Kernel Panic almost as soon as I unlock the screen after Android finishes booting. The last thing I see up in the message bar is "WhatsApp error" and the screen goes dark. It won't stay on long enough for me to uninstall WhatsApp or select factory reset from the system menu.
I don't think its a problem with WhatsApp, cause WhatsApp used to run fine, while Kernel Panics originally mainly seemed to happen after I got a "storage full" message. In response, I deleted a load of pictures after rebooting, to make sure there's free space, but it kept crashing occasionally, till now, its just unusable.
I've tried to flash a stock Samsung ROM (I9100XWLPG_I9100XXLPX_I9100NEELP4_HOME.tar.md5) but that hasn't been working either.
Kies drivers are installed on my Laptop. Odin sees the phone too.
I followed the instructions from the rom page, changed no settings in Odin, just picked PDA and selected the ROM.
Odin goes "Added" when I plug in the phone, verifies the ROM, then the whole thing hangs on "setting up connection"
So I unplug, pull the battery and then reboot, which works fine, but once booted, it won't stay on longer than a few seconds.
Anyway, does anyone have any clever ideas how I can get out of this Kernel Panic loop?

What's preventing you from factory resetting from recovery?
Lack of knowledge is preventing me!
How do you factory reset from the "Kernel Panic Download Mode"...?
Download Android Commander from here:
http://androidcommander.com/
Boot your phone, don't unlock.
Start Android Commander, navigate to /data/apps and delete WhatsApp's apk (com.whatsapp1.apk or something like that) or rename it to .apk.bak
Restart your phone without unlocking.
Hope the errors gone.
hi all,
Since a week or 2 my phone is constantly giving messages like this: "The application LogsProvider (process com.sec.android.provider.logsprovider) has stopped unexpectedly"
When i make a new contact or a new file on my phone, it disapears after rebooting. When i uninstall all my apps and reboot the phone, all the apps are back and nothing has been uninstalled. Even when i format the sd card on my pc, and reboot the phone, all the content is back as if nothing has happened.
When i try to reset it to factory settings, it opens in recovery mode. When i then select to wipe all data or wipe cache and reboot, nothing has happened to it, everything is still on the phone like before. Even when i deselect the backup and automatic recovery checkboxes before i reset to factory settings, nothing has been wiped.
When i try to update the phone with kies, the update installs correctly, but when the phone reboots, the same old firmware is still installed and the settings are intact.
When i try to update the phone with Odin, everything goes well, and it says 'pass' in green color. when i reboot the phone, the same old firmware and settings are still there.
I run stock firmware from november '11, which i can tell by dialing *#1234*
Can anyone help me identify this problem, and is there a solution? It really looks like this phone has some write protection or something..
i made a youtube video that describes the problem, but this forum doesn't allow me to make a link.
anyway, my phone stays stuck on the 3rd of september and that sucks.. any solutions plz?
the video
i can't post the link, so let's try it like this:
First type the 'www', then the 'youtube', then the '.com', then type 'watch?v=n6SH8QDJr94&feature=g-upl'
Flash custom kernel, do a factory reset in CWM and see if the data is gone.
i've already tried to install cwm, but first i needed to root my phone. When i tried to root it, it could not find the Root.zip on the sd card, although i'm pretty sure i put it there, it just disapeared after the reset, just like all the other files..
Flash it [kernel] through Odin (PC).
allright, i will try that, thanks already!
ehm, even that didn't do anything, i will upload a youtube video in a few minutes..
the youtube video:
type 'youtube', then '.com', then '/watch?v=P_D2EbPF0Ik&feature=youtu.be', without the '..
really strange how i can update the kernel and nothing has changed!
I really start thinking there is some kind of write protection or the internal storage is totaly screwed up?
Seems your nand is partially borked, and is stuck in a state where it will not update the memory, so it is "stuck" at a specific point in time.
I have heard that it's POSSIBLE (and I stress possible) that flashing with repartition ticked with the PROPER .pit file will resolve your issue, but I cannot say this with any certainty as I have not actually done this myself. But at this point, it seems you don't really have anything to lose by trying.
I can't seem to find a reliable download link for the .pit file for the I9100 right now... it's called u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit. I'll see if I can't find one when I have a spare moment.
EDIT: Found one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28321934&postcount=35. BUT!!! Only use it if you are positive you have an I9100. (check on the label under the battery) Flash it with a stock firmware with re-partition checked.
False alarm. Turns out the link is dead.
EDIT 2: This looks promising... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448351
I keep getting this several times a day. Usually when I do the pull down menu. I've flashed back to stock to fix it, rooted again, and it still there. Then after the update from VZW, reflashed the update with the unlock process. So two reflashes and it's still there.
It did not do this when the phone was new and just rooted till I started trying to add wifi toggle to the pull down notifications. I thought the two flashing methods would fix everthing but it seems not all files were updated.
What is the best way to get my phone back to stock, but need root. I'd like to flash back to factory and see if it goes away. If it does, I'd like to then root.
Something is not right!
I just did this:
Section 1b: How to return to stock 4.1.1 Jelly Bean coming from any rom with Odin
Step 1: Download and install Odin3 from section 1a if you have not already done so.
Step 2: Download this stock VRALJB image and pit file to a windows based pc.
Official VRALJB 4.1.1 12/9/12- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2040264(This will wipe data and return your device to factory stock like the day you purchased the device. Unlocked and Locked devices may use this to return to Factory Stock conditions! Also, folks currently on the latest L4 OTA only use the alternate restore file as it does not contain a bootloader!)
SCH-I605_16gb.Pit- http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?05cj895zu3tls7z
I have no memory card installed.
Step 3: Power device off, hold the volume down/home/power keys until you see a yellow triangle, then press the volume up key to access "odin or download mode".
Step 4: Open Odin and connect the oem usb cable from pc to device. The driver should automatically install( it did for me on windows 7 64bit). There should also be a "comport number" in upper left hand corner of Odin indicating communication between the pc & device.
Step 5: Click on the pit function of Odin and select the sch-i605-16gb.pit file.
Step 6: Click on the PDA function of Odin. Select the stock VRALJB image you downloaded in step 1, then select start. This operation should take less than 8 minutes before Odin will say pass/reset.
Step 7: Your device should boot back up into factory stock 4.1.1 android!
Well, it worked, have to log into google, setup account, screen tuturials are back, looks completely factory.
However, it just connected me to my home network without asking and it is password locked! How can this be a clean install if it is WPA/WPA2 PSK security and I never entered my password?
This cannot be a factory clean phone.
Please help.

Google backs up your Wifi connections as well as contacts and apps and other BS. I've noticed the google restore of wifi settings to be a bit spotty, but I also found that google thinks I have numerous instances of the same devices, so I think that it starts to get confused. Anyhow, there is no witchcraft going on. After you log into your google account during setup, it downloads wifi ap's and then starts restoring the rest of what it can on wifi.
Later,
Jason
Really, wifi backup. Would have never ever guessed that. Answers a few questions I had. Thanks. Guess my phone isn't spying on me:cyclops:
I rooted my Verizon S4 back in January and deleted some apps using Titanium Backup. TB told me to turn on the unknown sources in security for apps, but I ignored it and just carried on. Then NK4 and OC1 update came and I was going to install the OC1 rooted kernel through FlashFire, but I was too lazy. I didn't want to wait for the root to come out for OC1 and just downloaded the NK4 update. I tapped to install it, but halfway through the installation, an error came up and the update wasn't successful. I tried a couple times before I plugged it into the computer to try and use the Verizon update software. I plugged it in as an installer, it came up as an empty CD drive, no installer. I was thinking maybe if I flashed NC5 back, I would be able to gain the stock apps I deleted. I did the flashing through ODIN 3.10 and plugged the NC5 file in the AP slot and carried on. Once it finished, I started to play around with my phone and I checked the About Phone section and saw it was still on NK1. It also couldn't connect to wifi and the phone rebooted like 3 minutes after startup, causing it to loop over and over (reboot, connecting to networks and turning on power saving, repeat). I thought it was the USB cable as this happened before when I was rooting the first time, so I got a new cable. I got 3 cables, 2 stock Samsung ones, 1 third party and all of them did the same thing as before. Now, what do I do?
IIRC, you can only downgrade to a version that is either the same or newer than the bootloader you are currently running. So, get back into download mode and try to flash NK4.
