please help. give me suggestions atleast. 158 views and no replies? im desperate here and cant find anything on this problem
Type in dialpad
*#*#4636#*#*
Press phone info
Scroll down till SMSC and press the right update button. You should get it populated with the service center of your carrier. If you get an error message then you have a bug in your system that cannot be fixed. The solution will be flashing another rom.

yeah when i went to all that my smsc was blank. typed in the number they told me and hit update and it tells me update error. so what do i really need to do to fix? how can i get the OTA ICS update? or should i get a cooked rom?
ok so i flashed the arctic rom and everything works except text still. going to the dialer and typing in *#*#4636#*#* will not pull anything up so i can go change the smsc setting. any other way to get into that info?
I cant help you much either, but I tried the *#*#4636#*#* and nothing came up to me.
But I`m pretty sure the smsc number follows your simcard, so I think there is something wrong with your simcard not your phone!
You need to flash a stock rom to get a new kernel. This is a system defect.

Received a brand new Ace yesterday, and immediately rooted it with super one click with no problems.
However I then tried to run the 'Galaxy Ace Unlock apk' which I'd found elsewhere.
It generated an unlock pin, but after rebooting it stuck on the Galaxy Ace flash screen. After 5 minutes I pulled the battery out, waited, then rebooted. Now it doesn't even get to the Galaxy Ace screen when switched on.
The screen backlight comes on (with a black screen) for a couple of seconds, then off, then on - but it never gets any further.
So far I've tried
- Flashing Stock Froyo via Odin
- Flashing VillainRom via Odin
In both cases the phone enters download mode, Odin completes all steps without error, but on reboot I am left with the black screen of death again!
Anything else I could try?
I have the same problem.

I have been in every forum arond for this kinda brick and there is no solution for YOU to do. Also there is absolutely no way for Samsung to see either say that after the first boot the battery went dead and it never started again. It will be covered by your warranty and brand new ace!

Apk/sim bricked my phone.
Unlock Apk also bricked my phone in the same manner.
The app generating the code is not the problem on it's own, it's when you put the "other" Sim card in and reboot that does the damage.
I got a buzz when i could still get Download Mode and Odin gave me a PASS when i reflashed, but alas the phone never rebooted and it still flashed black at me.
I'm trying everything to bring it back to life before it goes to the Service Centre and i have to give them some blag as to why it's bricked.
Other than Download Mode i can get "Emergency Dload Mode"(ARM9) & RAMDUMP.

Even Samsung don't have an easy way to repair it, hence they replace the mainboard to fix the issue.
I punched in this code: *#*#2663#*#* to update the firmware for my touch-screen and touch-key.
When I hit "Touch Key FW update" it updated really fast and everything was great!
When I hit "TSO FW update" is said "Now Updating... Warning! Do not turn off!" And it STAYED THERE FROZEN...
It said "Do not turn off!" So I left it until the battery died!
Then I plugged it in to charge it, and now the back button and menu button BOTH don't work at all! I tried two more times to "TSP FW Update" but it's totally permenantly frozen!
I tried flashing the stock firmware!
I can't get to the menu to do "factory reset!"
What do I do??

I have completely reloaded the firmware twice since then from a stock rom. I used Odin for it. My operating system works fine, generally, but the menu and back keys will not work.
But, are you saying that I can use Odin to specifically reload the TSP firmware? Because I haven't done that. If that's what you're saying, do you know where I can get TSP firmware?

Never heard of that and you dont need a uSB jig anyway as you are loading firmware ok .
I would download correct stock firmware .
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero if rooted or custom roms used ..
Return to service centre .

Hi,
So this issue has been fixed??
Hi all. Well... It happened to me too. I followed an advice to remove 4.3 lag by updating this, and lost all touch.
The screen won't even turn on now, but I know the phone is powered up because when I plug in a usb cable I get the windows popup.
Wow this sucks so much and I'd like to ask for any advice if there's a fix for this. I'll try to check if I can enter recovery and reflash the rom, but I think all my buttons are dead.
---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------
Update: after maybe an hour it came back to life. I had good battery so I guess it was downloading/updating stuff, during which I had no control of the phone.
As far as the experience enjoyment, I give it a 2/10, would not do again.
So it was in that "Now Updating... Warning! Do not turn off!" mode for a hour and after that all was normal again? Is the wakeup problem solved with that?

Hi there pattmayne and particularly anyone still getting mileage from their GT-I9000M,
I had this issue with Galaxy S Vibrant (North America) - GT-I9000M (the M is significant). I thought I would explore the *#2663# option and hey, why not update everything while I am there. I lost the use of my Menu and Back soft buttons and no amount of flashing or factory resetting seemed to help.
I found a promising solution on an obscure board (to me : forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2181386) as follows :
- Run the TSP FW update,
- Although it may appear to be stuck, wait a good number of minutes to be sure it has done what it needs to do,
- Interrupt the « update » specifically by removing the battery,
- [wait a few seconds for memory to discharge],
- Insert the battery, start up again, and run the other update, TS FW,
- Voila !
In order to access the special code, I had to flash back to stock and for some reason, I decided to flash back to Froyo instead of Gingerbread. The result being that from 2.2-Froyo, the TSP FW update actually worked, so I did not have to bother with pulling the battery. I am very happy to have my phone back in one piece !
I much prefer Heimdall over Odin, however I did have to do some research to find a decent Heimdall tutorial.
You should be able to find the stock files for Froyo by searching for GT_I9000M_UGJK3_UGJK3_BMCJK3.
If you can't, ping me and I will get around to providing a full write-up on how to mod your GT-I9000M (with many thanks to those that have gone before me).
Hi, i have more or less the same problem with my Galaxy S4 GT I9505. After updating to lollipop (5.0.1) the back and menu buttons were not working anymore so i started searching for some solutions, and i saw the updating touchscreen firmware option and now the fit touch is not working anymore as the buttons. I read that making that i could have fried the LCD Touchscreen. I dont hope so, the LCD is new, I've re-flashed to 5.0.1 as a reinstall. And theres no solution. I need help, i cant afford another 65€ in other LCD

So my phone Note was completely messed up, rebooting every few mins so basically already un-usable so I decided to try and install cyanogenmod 10 to it to see if it fixed them problem, I followed the instructions on installing the recovery.img per the cyanogenmod site, after the phone was rebooted it now comes up with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again", no matter what I do that's the message I get now, I can't get it into download mode or recovery mode and for the heck of it I tried using Kies and it just says the device isn't responding and to try to reboot the phone, is there any way to fix it?
UPDATE: Found a guide online on how to fix it and it's now working again
Check the power button. Sometimes they stick or get crap under them.
Checked it, the power button seems to work fine and isn't sticking or anything.

Be sure to flash the correct kernel. I'm guessing you flashed Gingerbread on top of ICS.
Don't quote, reply. If you quote, edit.
Hi guys, I wanted to root my Galaxy S2(ICS) today but also keep the stock ROM.
I first followed a tutorial which had a Kernel download link to "jeboo_kernel_i9100_v1-2a". After reboot the yellow triangle appeared and that was all. It didn't boot up it just simply went black screen. I have like 30 tabs open looking on how to fix this, but couldn't find a fix. (maybe I'm illiterate and that's why). So I decided to try another kernel this time Siyah-s2-v4.0.1. Still the same yellow triangle and then black screen.
What I was able to do:
Vol up + home + power and Vol down + home + power. Both of these work, and the phone is recognized in Odin.
Now for some reason it gets stuck at the yellow triangle screen, and only the vol down + home + power combo works so I can still get it in Download mode. After trying some more the Custom Binary Download went up to 4 counts.
Any help is apreciated.
Thank you,
Zeros000.
Edit: Okay I tried again, now with the newest stable Siyah kernel "Siyah-s2-v5.0.1". This time it either loops in boot or stops at the Siyah logo.
your best shoot is at flashing a stock Rom then root using another method and then use triangle away by chainfire

Meanwhile I tried different port with Siyah latest version. Same result with yellowT but this time it's not looping it's just sitting at the Siyah logo. The phone only gets stuck at the YT when I try recovery mode, and then loops.
(meanwhile downloading that rom)
OMG, after the 2nd loop it started up. I hope that it was the different port because then you are a HERO :good:. I should have tried different port too, but seems the keyboard port is still better than the ones in which I plug in usb's most of the time.
Thank you again, I'll post again after it finishes and see if it's working. Btw the XEO rom I've got was downloaded from sammobile.

Phone is stuck at lock screen, I know that it's on because I just tried the radio, then left for a minute. When I came back the radio is still on but unable to turn on screen. Also I know that reboot wont help as it happened the first time too when the sim lock came up, while I wrote the previous post, the screen normally went off. And when I tried to turn it on it didn't. After the reboot I didn't let it go off and it worked until I left. Will reboot one more time.
I looked around and this might be the problem... ooops:
This kernel is only for Samsung JB ROM (No ICS support anymore). Although the kernel boots CM10.1 I will not support it until I fix dualbooting.

This is on Siyah's blog, could this be the problem? Restarting... Got stuck again at the logo... Restarting... Now it works again. I wonder if the screen lock is affected by this.
EDIT: I have Jelly Bean, seems like the last ROM I used was JB, so it's not the unsuporting problem. Also someone else suggested me Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock it worked and it was a free app, but thanks. You are really helpfull.
Edit 2: Okay nevermind, for some reason it works now... It's not reasurring but it works.
Thanks all of you for the great help. I don't think that I could have done it without @gastonw and the owner of jayceooi.com webpage (from where I tried the tutorial) who replied to my questions under minutes.

my englisch isnt that good; neither is my knowledge in software engineering. i dont know the specific terms like adbpush/pull, cwm, mount and so on. im not even sure what exactly the difference between rooting and flashing is lol and i have no clue about what a kernel is
so thats gonna be kinda funny. i hope
well my problem i quite easy to explain. my wifes galaxy s7 is bricked/has a boot loop whatever. it powers up, doestn vibrate and shows the samsung logo an stocks from that on. it doesnt reboot automatically. its stuck at this point until the battery dies or i enter the boot mode or bios or how u say to the mode (power,home,volup) and shut it down. when i shut it down manually im able to restart it again and enter the download mode (voldown). simple restarting or wiping cache didnt work.
so u see i already tried to fix it myself within my abilities. i postet my acutal problem in some other forums but i didnt really got helped out and mostly was told to contact the xda developers for professional and patient help.
i dont want to get the phone running again, its display is a little broken and i got a guarantee so i can swap the phone via my provier, so thats not the actual point. the only thing i want to have are the many many pictures which my wife didnt cloudshare or save otherwise.
so what can i exactly do to recover the pictures and videos. ive read as long as i can access the download mode im able to do something, but no one really knows how to.
the device is a standard s7 non rooted, i dont know exactly which android is running on it but i think my wife would have updated the version if the notification would have popped up. so i think its android 6.0 or 6.0.1 or something like that. im pretty sure she didnt enter the development settings to enable usb debugging or something else. its just a standard s7 from a german store. i do not know the exact model number of the phone like (gt-123456) hope these informations are neccessary if not sorry lol
ive read a lot of flashing instructions with lots of terms which ive never heard and cant explain to myself.
so is there probably anyone who would so nice to instruct for dummies how to get my pictures and videos from the phone please? just explain what to do in non-it-professional-words. if ure going to use a term just quickly explain in very few words what is meant by that.
ive read somewhere about an samsung usb driver to install first, but everywhere are only parlty described guides which i just dont understand.
i have downloaded odin3, have an usb cable, the device, a very slow win10 laptop, absolutely no clue of the complete matter but much patience haha
thank you very very very much
thomas
I am not sure that you may or may not get DATA from phone Back. But if you flash with stock rom for now you may able to open phone.
Allow me some time to get instruction and firmware and necessary files. Be patient.

hey there
thank you very much. ive found a video which declared what files i maybe need.
i already downloaded the 2.1 gb sized rom from sammobile.com for my model last night, i found the number on the case and i also downloaded and installed the samsung usb driver for the s7.
tonight im going to try out what to do. so what im about to do with that?
i also read that usb debugging must be enabled, which surely has not been done by my wife.
cheers

so the actual question is: what do i have to do now with all these data? try to "flash" with odin3 like in many other descriptions? if it works, does my phone boot as like as nothing ever happened and i can totally use the device again? or is just the bootloader menu extended so that i have to go further steps to get my pictures saved or what?
im sorry, as i said i dont know much about android things like that.
what am i supposed to do now and what exactly is my phone supposed to do afterwards?

Your problem's solution is simple...when u flash ur firmware file (2.1gb) through Odin, it will only clear ur system partition and some other partitions but won't touch ur data portion where ur pics are stored... So just flash ur firmware using Odin ..
well i just flashed the phone, odin worked with success but the s7 is still stuck at the same point. it doesnt boot up.
what else can i do to get to my data? is there any option?
