Not sure where you bought your phone at. Have you taken it to a tmobile store and have them try? It could be a defect.
No it has been working just fine for like 10 months now for some odd reason it sometimes holds it and sometimes not

thats really odd.... when you insert the sdcard can you feel the spring engage? does the lock engage?(feel a little click after spring is compressed)? do you unmount the external_sdcard often? maybe things have just worn down....(i've only removed the sdcard a few times stepped up from the 2G, to a 8G, currently patriot class10 16G) but never had any problems with any external_sdcard staying in place.
take that bad boy apart!! its just some phillips screws i imagine its just a spring issue. I was gonna do the "hardware GPS fix" tonight so i'll take a look at the setup while im in there if there isn't a fix posted by then.

namadrider123 is correct it sounds like a easy phone replacement from tmobile that should be the #1 fix option for this problem (or any hardware problem for that matter) always attempt to get hardware defects replaced under warranty before you go messing with stuff yourself (good rule of thumb!)
It holds it sometimes but the little click thing isn't holding it. For now it is but if I take it out it will be hard to push it back in.

It was suggested you take it in to get it looked at, might need to be replaced. Or just fixed
We're comin from a pure power source.
Alright then thanks anyway

Did you try selecting with the home button, please tell me you did

Yes I did and it won't let me go into download mode
Can you force download mode by plugging in while holding sound up and dowb and power buttons or is it just sound up and down?
Edit-
On the i9100 thread you already asked in.

I saw you asked if it worked for i777 if its not in this section don't try to flash it to this phone. There the same phone but its not exactly the same so that's why we have ports from the i9100 from the first 5-6 pages I read they are hardly able to get things fully working and a list of broken items like wifi camera ect.

I was just gonna say, when they get into Download mode and check that flash counter, or see that yellow triangle, that replacement is gonna cost you full price.. And you can bet they'll automatically tack it on to your next bill.

I'd like to let him sit and squirm thinking he'll get it full price and someone will get grounded but if it didn't flash would it count?

You're mean
I don't know for sure, but I would imagine if it didn't flash, the counter won't trigger and he'll be OK. That's why I asked about the recovery - if it's still stock the flash probably didn't take. If it is a custom recovery, it probably means that the flash took and borked his phone...that would be the case where I would think he could expect a hefty phone bill when they catch on...
Well they would charge him for shipping the new phone checking the old phone, won't be pretty lol. This is what you get for just diving into flashing formware , I read the topic he flashed from and I knew it wasn't good for our phone yet it wasn't ported to i777 so there's no way I'd flash that.

Lol no i reset the counter before i bricked and it is stock i9100 recovery so they look the same but the button configuration is different

Your phone was totally recoverable. In my view, you should have taken responsibility for your actions, and stayed with the issue till you fixed it.
It's a shame, and just plain wrong, when people abuse the warranty to get a new phone for free when the problem was due to their own actions. It's like stealing. From my time in the forum, however, it seems to be rather common behavior. I even see a post from time to time where one person advises another to do this.
At least AT&T/Samsung wind up with a phone which can be repaired and resold.
And now, since you sent them an I777 which boots to stock I9100 recovery, you will have a month or two of existential anxiety while you wait to see if they charge you full price for the phone, as written in their warranty.

Oh goodie! You messed up your phone and got AT&T to fix it by giving you a new phone, the cost of which they can easily pass on to their other users.:good:
If u screw up yer phone, and u don't want to bother with trying to get "technical" and figure it out, there is a good chance this cycle will repeat itself. I would suggest taking a few days and just pouring over all information available here on how to do things and getting things properly understood before u go about flashing again.

Hello to all. I have a problem that seems quite serious and I do not know what to do.
Basically, I tried to install on my phone firmware Mozilla Boot to Gecko, through recovery of kernel siyah v5.0, doing a restore of the file found on this page: harjunpaa.fi/B2G/
Of course, the firmware, which is in pre-alpha, is full of bugs. Among these, during calls, my partner could not hear my voice.
I then decided to run a deep clean to go back to android. So I went into recovery and I noticed that I had ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4, which is indicated on the first page above to perform the restore. So, instead of proceeding with the deep clean, I tried again to do a restore through this recovery.
The process actually lasted a bit 'more time than the first, and I thought then that I was doing the right thing.
Finished everything I restarted the phone, but nothing. Black screen. Then I removed the battery and tried to turn it on normally, but nothing. The phone does not even go into recovery or download mode. I also tried to force the download mode by inserting the jig key, but still nothing.
At this point I find myself with a brick that will not start in any way and do not know what to do. Of course, before I do this, I loaded the battery to 100%, so there is no danger that it is unloaded.
Please, I'm desperate, help me.
Sorry for my bad english. Thanks.
JTAG repair (if possible) or service centre. Can't see what else you could possibly do given you're getting absolutely nothing from the phone & you've tried a jig.

What is JTAG repair?
Its about £150 cheaper than a mobo replacement.
Do you have warranty.

I think your problem was that you had your phone discharge. My problem, unfortunately, is far more serious.
If it cant start(in any mode),and you have warranty,then samsung will replace the mobo.
i have warranty, but i have the phone rooted, so don't know if I can use it. however I have reset the counter with triangle away.
Send it to Samsung/authorised repairer & see what happens.

Why didn't you charge it at first? If you read the guides you were supposed to have at least 50% of battery.

if I send the phone to samsung and I can not take advantage of the guarantee, do they warn me before repair?
If you removed the triangle and did a counter reset, then they can't do anything than repairing your mobile phone. What reasons do they have for refusing repair? Rooting files on your phone? Well they can't look up on what you have stored on your phone, you know, data privacy and stuff...

ATT isnt going to care whats on the phone anyway.
They are going to send it off to an authorized repair service...(samsung), and it will get plugged in for diagnostic testing, then repaired.
After that, it will get wiped clean with a fresh firmware image, and re-sold as a refurbished device.
Dont worry about the data on the phone, unless it's information that you cant live without. It's going to be wiped away....g
Videos should have been saved on a micro SD card then you wouldn't have this issue.

Just to clarify, so the device shutdown in the middle of flashing an update? Unfortunately if your device shutdown in the middle of a partially flashed update your likely hard bricked as some system files will have been modified while others will have not have been modified likely corrupting critical system files. Are you able to access recovery mode at all?

That's what I suspected, if the display doesn't turn on at all, no notification or power LED lights when turning on the tablet, or you don't feel a vibration when powering on the device, recovery mode or fastboot/similar flash mode can't be accessed then unfortunately the device is likely hard bricked. Warranty or JTAG would be your best option at this point.
I tried to JTAG it.
But i couldn't.. Can u explain me how to JTAG????
