hello, my exuse for my bad english.
i've got a little problem with my galaxy mini GTS5570, it was rooted.
so i tried a new app that requires root (needs permission from superuser) for partitioning, at least, that's what i tought. the app is called S2E (simple2ext) and it needed an reboot for downloading, a cache file or something. so i turn off my galaxy and went to turn it on, but nothing was happening, it stayed on black screen, i couldn't get into download mode, or recovery. so i went looking for this problem and it seemed to be an hard brick. i tried many things online to make the thing work again, but without luck:crying:. i tried one-click, the battery trick, and many other things (things where i didn't had to pay for). so i'm asking you with my last hope:fingers-crossed:, how can i fix this problem?

Hello folks,
Generally loving my Vibrant, of course hungry for Froyo. I have two Vibrants, the first I've been using and have modded it with root and other enhancements. I gave the other phone to a friend as a gift, but when I wanted to root theirs using the same method I've used on multiple occasions, it would NOT boot into the recovery mode. I use the UP + DOWN push, plus the power button. No dice, just get the cheesy "come together" Tmobile screen, I tried up, down, waited for the Samsung to flash twice, no dice. It was not that complicated on my phone and I can continue to do so. I have looked up threads and there is suspicion that T Mobile disabled this on later vesrions? This version was shipped to me slightly after my own, within a week or so.
It would be disheartening if I couldn't root and make his phone more efficient to deal with the battery hog issues as well as other enhancments. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I've treid multiple combinations and never get into the utility/recovery screen.
Any thoughts on this? I tried rooting before that with the Ryan one click lag fix, and it seemed to indicate it was done,b ut then Iwhen I opened ROM manager, it said it was not rooted yet. Then when I tried the one click app fix again, it mentioned it couldn't because soemthing about the SD card mounting,etc. I could put the stock PIT file on it via ODIN could I not? But I dont' want to go to all that hassle if it's something else. Is there a another app solution that can root for you? I can mount and drag the update zip there, but can't get tot he screen to reinstall packages.
Hopefully TMobile isn't stripping this down so we can't customize and it's something else but I'm trying all combinations short of doing the hokey pokey.
Thanks in advance!

Apparently either Samsung or Tmobile are having the option disabled via the normal ways to get into recovery. There are numerous other threads regarding this throughout the forums detailing other peoples experiences regarding this.
Take a look here for one:

Join the club. I'm on my third vibrant with this same issue. I am returning it this week for a refund. My first....and last samsung phone.
thank you guys, I was afraid of that. one of the phones greatest assets was it's hackability. Froyo had better do something with battery consumption, speed, etc, or this phone will be a great screen and not much more. boo to hardware lockdowns! let the hackers hack and if you want to void the warranty, do it. I'll see about this ADB mode, I'm wondering if someone can create an app that would successfully root so ROM manager will work. I wonder why the one click fix lag app, which supposedly roots, did not. It seems like an overall lock down on this access?
At any rate, I'll try the other options but it's looking like more and more, my buddy will be a slave to Samsung release timeframe, and thats assuming froyo and updates will fix significant bugs and improve battery life.
thanks again guys! I'll keep trying.
And what about the download mode, can you get in it?
not sure, you mean the little digging android feller? I will try that, I gave the phone to my friend but sent him the page in this thread earlier regarding multiple attempts to get into either / or mode. would that actaully help install the packages aka root the phone? I only used that last time to reinstall via Odin, the T Mobile factory build because it was soft bricked due to a bad lag fix that froze the phone on the Samsung logo.
download mode , can that get it rooted? Or just wanting to know if all hardware access has been blocked?"

Yeah, that the digging guy. It won't help you to get rooted, but i can't get in download mode, so if you can advise me how can i do that, i appreciate
Hello there.
First of all, hi, I'm Filipe and I just purchased a new Samsung Galaxy Ace a couple weeks ago, my first Android.
SecondlyI am completely new to this world and a lot of friends told me to come and register here should I want to learn about Rooting, ROMs and what not. They also told me to come here if I had any problem with the phone.
So far I didn't had much time to learn about ROMs and etc but today I got a large overview of it through a friends explanation, which is why I didn't came here before. But some days ago I started having problems with my phone. I googled an answer, I "androidpt.com"ed an answer, I even searched here and I have found either no solution or no one in certain forums with this problem.
Here's whats happening:
A couple of days ago, I was 'playing' with the phone when it suddently shuts down. After turning it back on, nothing seemed to have happened. Until I tried to install something. From that day on, I can only install certain apps. The others just won't install. This is what happens (I'd take a print screen but I can't install any print screen app, LOL):
1- I click the APP I'm trying to install.
2- I click on "Install" when it asks me if I want to install the APP.
3- The screen says "Installing" and has a tiny green moving bar bellow it, for about half a second.
4- After that half a second, it instantly says "Application not installed", leaving me with a single button to exit.
And that's it. I just can't install anything.
Solutions tried:
- First I tried a soft reset.
- Then I tried a SD reset.
- Then I went to the store where I bought it and they did a hard reset.
- Then I tried to hard reset it again.
- Then I tried Rooting it.
- And I'm finally trying to see if you guys solve it here..
- The last option will be heading to Samsung's large store here in Portugal but this will make me lose it for several days, and I was told you could probably fix this.
Ah well, hoping for a positive answer.
Kind Regards,
Filipe
I'm guessing there are no solutions then?
Maybe the app is for root users??

Well I have it rooted, I tested installing stuff with it rooted, and unrooted, so it doesn't seem to be from that, but thanks for trying!
Any other possible solutions? This is getting really annoying, can't even take screenshots of my screen or install most games.
You should try to reflash you FW, it will be better then hard or soft reset.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
And to take screen captures, you don't need any app, just press and keep pressed the back button and then the home button, both together, you will here the camera sound and a warning on the screen will show you where the file got saved.
Yup reflash your phone. Also you can take screenshot with a stock service. Hold the back soft button and press on your home middle button.

Hey!
Dose you CHECK the box in MENU>APPLICATIONS>UNKNOWN SOURCES?
CHEERS!
Anyone that asking in the forum and read ur post should be ashamed of themself, the details is well complete. This is how people should be posting when seeking for answer of their problem
Btw flashing seems a good way to solve this. Maybe ur system somehow got corrupted when it autoreboot that u mention.

Hi, I am having the same problem....
I brought my ace locked to 3, got it unlocked (simlock) then rooted it using Super One Click V1.9.5 Short fuse. The phone is running 2.2.1 Kernel version 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
If I remove the memory card, then re-boot, I can install apps from market place.... for a while, then I just get the "failed to install message" and I have to remove the card and reboot
One thing to mention, I was already running a Galaxy Europa (I5500) and I am using the memory card from this phone, to try and install some of the apps from, maybe this has something to do with the problem?
I have downloaded the AceVillanRom and was goin to give this a go, do you think this will sort the problem?
Thanks for looking

Hello all,
I'm sorry, but I couldn't find any device-related subforum for the Samsung Galaxy Rugby (GT-S5690M). If my questions are in the wrong section, please move it to the right place (mods)?
So here's the story: I just got my first smartphone. Since it's locked to Bell, it has some bloatware and need for sim-unlocking. I did a lot of reading and through some tutorials I managed to root Android and got rid of some bloatware (just four Bell apps). So far so good! Then I tried to unlock the phone. There are some apps in the Google Play that state that they can unlock the phone for free ("works on various Galaxy models").
I tried them out, but none of them could provide a solution. The last app I tried (Galaxy_S Unlock) requested that BusyBox were to be installed, so I did. During the installation the app remarked that already some BusyBox version was installed, but not the version that it was trying to install. I was suppose to try another type of installing (I used the normal/safe mode). But it said it was already installed, so good enough. Right? I tried the unlocking app again, but it still said it had errors getting to communicate with BusyBox. None of the unlocking apps gave me the impression that they changed anything in the system.
I figured that maybe a reboot of the phone would fix this. However, now the phone got several issues:
- booting takes forever (18 minutes) It does the animated Samsung logo (though, not with sound any more) and then keeps on slowing the glowing Samsung name.
- the speaker doesn't seem to be working at all
- it can no longer check for updates. After agreeing with the disclaimer, it says it can't connect.
- Samsung KIES (PC software suite) doesn't see the phone any more.
- the phone is generally very slow now. Even when typing a password the phone sometimes hangs for about 5-10 seconds. Loading the disclaimer for the Software Updater takes 10-15 seconds.
I tried to reset to factory defaults and reload the rooting zip file again, but to no avail.
I've been trying to read up on the isolated symptoms, but I'm simply starting to feel overloaded with all the info, especially since I'm a Android newbie.
Does anybody recognize these symptoms and, more important, has any tips on what to try to restore whatever has gone wrong?
Additionally, I would really be interested in knowing if there's a way to force-upgrade to Jelly Bean. It appears that this firmware hasn't been made available to Rugby users yet through the regular update channels. But are there alternatives?
I have a Bell as well

The external drive will only work if you select "Enable USB Connection" in the Android menu.
I've revived my phone for a hobby project. Can't remember how I solved the above issues at the time, but it doesn't want to accept the stock firmware image. I can only find one old version on my external HDD with old backup data. Tried several Odin versions to no avail. 3.07 stays stuck at "SetupConnection". 3.04 fails with "Complete(Write) operation failed."

Alright so a couple weeks ago my Samsung Galaxy S3 ran out of battery and when I turned it on again, it had for some reason entered Factory Mode. During Factory Mode everything that I have installed on my phone is (hopefully only temporarily) gone and I cannot install anything on my phone. So I did some googling to solve this problem and it appeared that I first needed to root my phone. So I did that following the instructions in this video /watch?v=My_g28MrlwU
After I (probably successfully) rooted my phone I needed to install Root Explorer. However due to my phone being in Factory Mode, it thinks it doesn't have any more storage to install the app, despite pretty much nothing being installed on the phone. I installed Root Explorer on my PC instead and thought transfering it over that way would work, but it did not.
I asked my friend who is pretty tech savvy but he doesnt know what to do, please help I have some pictures attached for clarity. Thanks in advance
Hi all,
I've managed to royally mess up my Galaxy S2, and I could really do with a bit of help! It was running a rooted stock rom.
The problem started when I attempted to install the Orange Signal Booster using instructions from this thread. I think the killer was replacing default.prop in system.
At this point the phone would crash a couple of seconds after the unlock screen appeared. I could get as far as dragging down and clicking settings before the entire thing hangs. I got similar results in safe mode. I also tried wiping cache etc in CWM but to no avail. I'm backed up, so I tried a factory reset, but I'm having a similar issue. The language selection screen appears, I press start and the phone freezes again.
I'd really appreciate some help!
BTW, my phone's USB port doesn't work so I'm looking for a solution that can be done within recovery. This is a separate issue and I believe it is unrelated as I have managed fine for over a year.
With a dead usb port you're pretty much screwed. The best and fail proof solution is to reflash stock rom using odin because it will wipe and reflash all partitions that were used before.
