[Q] Galaxy GT 5500 b locked: too many pattern attempts. Possible brick? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, this is my first post here in XDA,
-- And my problem is-​
I've a samsung Galaxy i550L, and is locked for too many pattern attempts,
the easy way to unlock it, is entering google mail and pass, but this way DOESN'T WORK for me.
But that's not all, my PC doesn't recognize the cell phone!, when i connect my phone with computer, just start charging the battery. (So in a way yes it recognizes, but can't acces to it).
There is nothing i can do, also i tried to connect with Odin, and tried accessing to recovery mode for Factory reset by adb recovery on PC, but of course, PC doesn't recognized the phone >.<.
The only thing i can do is access to Download Mode (Volume Down, Home Button and Power button), but neither is recognized by pc or any program
My phone has a solution? (thanks in advance, and sorry for bad english)​

Have u tried flashing a different from?

[Q] S2 Only Boots Recovery

I have a bizarre problem. I was on aokp jb 3.1.2 and i decided to flash omega 16. In aroma i was about halfway through when my phone shut off. (it wasnt the battery, it was almost full when i started) now when i try to boot the phone all it does is boot straight to recovery. I can move up and down with the volume keys but i cant select anything with my power button. I can get into download mode but odin doesnt recognize my phone. I know its not my drivers since odin detected my friends i777 just fine. My phone only boots cwm and download mode. Is my phone bricked and if not how do i fix it? Thanks. And i apologize if i am in the wrong forum.
Nope, as long as the phone turns on, you shouldn't need to use the word "brick." It is a connection issue; try a different port, making sure you don't have Heimdall drivers installed on it. I suggest playing with the connection until it shows up.
I have tried all ports on two computers. Still nothing
Have you tried opening Odin first, then connecting phone fresh in download mode?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 flashed wrong kernel???

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 that I recently rooted and when I rooted it it flashed a custom Kernel as well. Upon rebooting the phone, now my home button and back button soft key is not responding. I think I may have flashed a kernel from one of the Galaxy S2s that has the 4 soft keys along the bottom rather than the 2 soft keys and the home button, Whenever I try to flash anything through Odin now it says that a connection failure happens. If I put the phone into Download mode it is not recognized through Odin anymore either. Also, when I plug the phone into the USB of my computer and try to do anything with the phone through the USB it shuts it off and just shows the battery charging symbol. If I try to flash anything through recovery it says that Signature verification failed. I'm a bit stuck and I don't know what else to try.

Try another usb port/usb cable/pc.
If it sees you phone, don't forget to close all kies applications (if you don't have kies, download it!)

If you can acces recovery mode (Volume UP+Home+Power) you can save yourself:
-If you can't access the SD card by USB, try to remove your external SD card and connect it to PC through a card reader, if you don't have one, buy it because it's far cheaper than an new SGS2 (or 3)
-Download Phil'z kernel that suits your current ROM and copy it to your SD card
-Put SD card back into phone and flash this kernel (See post #3 of the above thread), depending on what kernel you have flashed, read the appropriate instructions (usually: Install Zip from SD Card > Choose Zip from SD card > select and apply)
-You are done :laugh:
BTW, can you provide a link to the kernel you flashed ?
Hope this helps
I have tried that. Everything I try to flash through recovery it says "signature failure" or something along those lines.

Put your phone in download mode and flash philz kernel by downloading the tar and flashing through odin

Signature check error means that you are trying to flash a custom kernel (I may be wrong) on non rooted phone
Philz kernel could bypass this
Have you tried cwm flashable philz kernel ??

Download mode is available, but when I plug it into the USB port Odin won't recognize it. But all of the drivers are installed. I've tried to flash philz through Odin but it won't recognize my device as being plugged in unless the phone is actually booted into Android OS. Then when I try to flash it just shuts the phone off and pops up the battery charging image.

Regardless of what it says there, what does it say for model on the label under the battery?

It says GT-I900.
But everything worked fine, then I flashed that file through ODIN and ever since the home button and the back button soft key wont recognize. So I'm pretty sure whatever I flashed was for the Galaxy S2 model with the four soft keys rather than just the two with a home button.
So flash another kernel for I9100.
Get it at xda tho.

I've been trying. Odin won't recognize my device when in Download mode, when i boot into Android and try to do anything through USB it shuts down to the battery charging logo, through recovery I get "signature verification failure" all of these suggestions are helpful, but I have already tried them.

Hi
Have u tried flashing another kernel through mobile-odin ?
I'm still new to this stuff but I think it should work for you.
If u want to try it look for the thread with same name dl it ..free version, you will also need another file in same thread called
MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9100-v2.0 (in same thread further down)
you can dl them on pc, put on card install them try.
or try rom-customiser u should be able to flash a diff kernel or Rom without pc-odin or recovery mode.
Good luck
Peace
I tried keeping it connected and restarting it. I also tried stopping all Kies processes and that didn't work so I uninstalled it but kept the driver. That didn't work. So I tried reinstalling the drivers.

So you can get to DL mode right?
And you're sure It's a I9100 Model.
- You've re-installed kies already, so we good there. If you've unistalled it, please re-install again & close all 4 kies applications running on background.
- Get a couple of USB cables (along with the original I9100's cable) and start trying them one by one on each USB port.
- Still don't work? Try it out on another PC, same drill.
- No luck? Try the same steps in "Windoze".
- If all above fail, try it all again.
You gotta make that PC see your device, it already did, so it can do it again.

[Q] Is my galaxy nexus bricked?

Hi All,
I've got a Galaxy Nexus which looks like working till the standby screen kicks in and then it turns itself off. The phone is rooted.
Fastboot starts while I press the vol up+down+pwr buttons, but once I release them the phone turns off. The volume down+pwr buttons are doing the same effect. While turned on I can browse the whole system via file manager.
Once I connect to the USB cable (power or computer) it turns off.
The phone is i9250 running currently Android 4.2.2
I've tried to figure out some solution in the posts but I didn't find any relevant info. I need to reset the root access and reinstall the factory image.
THe other problem is when I connect the USB cable the phone turns itself off
I tried to download the OMAP flash file from Legija but the link doesn't work anywhere... If you have any info on that I would really appreciate

have you tried nexus root toolkit (find it on xda)
select the "Back to stock/unroot" option and "bootloop" it will flash your phone back to stock.
and wrong forum by the way

Thanks for your reply.
When I plug in the USB the device turns off. I can't put it to download mode either.
I've just downloaded the OMAP flash files but at this stage I try to figure out how to use it. I've installed the nexus drivers but OMAP does not recognize my phone, so it looks like I stuck for a while.
BTW: I can access the root partition when the phone turned on(normal use), so if anyone knows what should I change or delete in order to enter the download mode I would appreciate it. Thx

Yes, I can turn the phone on to normal use however it turns itself off when it is plugged to USB or if it is going to standby.
Since it is rooted, with a file browser I can access the root partition. I can NOT connect USB and I can NOT put it download mode or fastboot mode because the phone turns off straight away. I even can make short phone calls from it.
So I'm just after some info on how to fix the USB connection and put the phone back to original state so I can send it to Samsung for repair
Is USB debugging turned on or off?
try turning it on (if its off) and off (if its on).
i am asuming that it only turns off when you connect your phone to you PC, not to a wall charger right?
Bricked means the device just doesn't work at all. This commonly happens (bricked) when there's a software update and it gets half updated. Therefore, the answer is no, its not bricked, but you do have a serious problem there.

Remove your battery annd connect your note to pc goto download mode by pressing home power and vol down buttons a screen will appear then press vol up you will be in download mode flash your stock rom through odin

Hi guys!
So basically my probably that i need help getting back to stock.. my computer is not recognizing the device.. neither is KIES.
I know the solution is to flash back to stock in ODIN but I can't use ODIN if the computer won't recognize my phone in the first place
I was trying to flash clockwork recovery with ROM manager when this happened and (stupid me) forgot im only rooted and NOT unlocked!
Ive tried re installing drivers via KIES as well as through SAM MOBILE. No Luck!
Im pretty panicked!
any help would be great thanks!

Take a deep breath.
Pull the battery from your phone. Then put the battery back in. Push the home button, volume down button and power buttons make sure that you hold all of these. This will turn your phone on to 'download mode' This is compatible with kies and odin and will let you reflash your firmware.

Use a different computer.
Did you try reinstalling the samsung driver? Did you try a different usb port? Did you try and use a different usb cable? Do not pass go do not collect 200.00 until you have tried all of the above.
Don't forget. ...reboot the computer after all of the above and try again. Sometimes just rebooting the computer solves connection issues.

I fixed it! I flashed the wrong image. since I was previously on 4.3 I tied the 4.3 image and it passed in Odin. Success!
Re-rooted...not unlocked
I still have the Knox counter unfortunately.
any way to reset this??
