I just got my replacement phone and I went to root and CXM and I am stuck in Android system recovery
Samsung Recovery Utils
-BML -
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data?factory reset
wipe cache partition
It won't let me do anything from here. I tried doing an Odin reset but nothing happened, I keep going back to this screen.
Help please.
Thanks,
OK I got it back not sure how. I tapped the home button and it restarted. All my apps are there and seem to be working but my sd card is completely empty now.
What should be on there?
never mind. I asked the phone to check for updates it did. Updated and now the sd card has its files again. Interesting the way it recovered itself. I think I'll wait till tomorrow to retry rooting.
Rumor is that the new fascinates are boot locked to stop routing and modding.

I can't agree with you more. We are drawed attention by your "help!!!", But when we come ito. You have solved the problem by yourself. You are very......
This is a development thread? epic.
Agreed that this is way too much being that it's in the Dev thread, but I suspect his confusion was about the need to hit the home button to do anything (though the rest of his posts leave me wondering if that is too much credit).
My Fascinate was boot locked.
Gasp. Bootlocking is the devils work. Why the hell would u make a device based on open sourced code if ur gonna lock it up? Just clearly state it voids the warranty and let us have our fun.

Well excuse me for not being an android wiz. I have been in recovery before but always used the power button to make changes not the home button. I guess this is where my confusion was. Excuse my ignorance.
Most people are giving you **** because you posted in the development section, which is the wrong place for this kind of thing. Glad you got everything sorted though.

Are. You. Kidding. Me.
Finally got this damm thing to be recognized by QPST. First you have to be turn on usb debugging. make sure you have your hidden menu enable. To do that you press *#83786633 then press the Home key. Go back into the phone dialer and enter *#22745927. Now a box will come up asking for the SPC code. Enter 000000 Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button. Now get out of the screen. Dial **33284 and now your spc which is 000000 . Now go to port map and change to HFK,DIAG. Now everything should be ok. make sure that QPST is not running. Plug your phone to USB and dial **87284 and it should open phoneutil , now change just the USB to modem. Your computer will install the driver and should detect a Com port for diag. Open QPST or cdmaws, it should now detect it. have fun
What are QPST & cdmaws?

Your doing it the hard way! Go to Settings - Wireless Networks - Enable Dialup Networking... Thats it! I was able to change the ESN in QXDM and change my data settings in QPST using this method.
Well I was able to do that before messing around with the rom. And for some reason these are the step u have go if ur computer not seeing it

You can change the ESN this way?? Is it possible to fix a bad ESN phone if I have an ESN from a broken phone to use? I wasn't aware it was even possible to change an ESN

Yes, you CAN "technically" change the ESN, but it is against Federal Law in the USA, so it will not be discussed about here.
I forgot that the phone had different mode for different regions

interesting post....
I know what I am doing with this phone, I just have never used the dial up feature. I can cook dinner 3 blocks away with adb. I have bricked my phone (or shall I say voodoo has) countless times and I can recover it just fine without having to read instructions because I understand the system. I just was curious as to what this is.

Because you require the driver files to let it be used as a mass storage, it's been mentioned before, I would suggest not using a company laptop that has it's user privileges restricted. A little searching and reading will come a long way

You need to enable MTP mode on the tablet for it to detect the tablet.
Settings-Storage-Top right corner will be 3 dots, Tap it and enable MTP mode.

I just PM'd you but found my way back here...
In settings under storage I can only view what is using what and how much of what is being used. No other options are available from there.
Edit: missed the second question again... yes just got it the 29th I think, it is only $0.99 in the market right now 50% off. Seems to work great with only a couple settings programming errors like setting for starting in favorites starts me in latest but setting to start in PMs starts me in favorites (subscribed threads), I used XDA Premium but got a refund when 90% of links I tried failed and other things. Went to using tapatalk full version I got free from getjar, but it expired one morning and when searching why I found hd. Was happy to send .99 to xda. so far no problems with links or anything else. I did have to get used to the layout being different again, but it was worth it. Kinda ICS like I think in where to find things. Also free upgrade when ICS its officially released. can't beat that for.99 oh yeah a few other things if like, such as page numbers and easier access to post smiles, but still cool.
Sorry of topic....
Get back to installing drivers in your toaste.....uh PC.

Not that I'm knowledgeable about myself. I only own a wireless only tab and don't really know for sure what carrier lock means for certain. I would think that it means the company that provides the phone access to your tab, such as verizon, sprint, at&t, or whoever else it could be has locked your device. If you know who the carrier is someone might know how to unlock it, but sometimes they just cannot be unlocked at all. At least from the little I've read, thats my thinking.

But I don't understand how can they lock the download mode to not flash (import) anything into tab.

Sorry for the short one liners Mod's don't like when the talk deviates and thread "ends up being a longer than it should be"
However that doesn't apply in the bedroom, If you know what I mean
ANYWAYS! yeh carrier locked tablets are those done by major telecom companies to avoid any other carrier being used on the tablet. Like a Verizon's tablet will only accept Verizon's SIM's (Sorry I'm not from UK/US to know that). Most lock it so that if ever you do break their wonderful "terms and conditions" and they revoke the tablet (<a year) from you, it's to ensure that it doesn't void the warranty of the tablet. Since rooting voids it.
Is there anybody out there that can make me an ODIN tar of the Novena J2 rom? It's the only way I can flash the rom on my phone, and I am unable to do it... yet. I will gladly donate!

Now we all know if our phone is stolen, a lock screen is no security.

Stop referring people to that thread of yours when phones aren't bricked. Immediately. Or I will deal with you. Are we clear ? :-/
If they follow those steps & the phone isn't bricked, they sure as fcuk will have a brick on their hands if it goes wrong.
This person's phone isn't even remotely close to being bricked, it's a simple case of 'Odin won't work' like 99.9999% of those cases on here, and the fix is usually very simple.
OP - This gets covered here so many times per week it ain't funny. Search for similar threads, there are a bunch troubleshooting steps you need to follow (This is the final time I'm typing that as well, from now on people will just get 'Search').

Yeah I get it :thumbup: (that's why the first line of the guide is meant to and usually does, scare people off), but if he eventually reaches the desperation point(no amount of flash attempts succeeds) , following my guide would be better than blind flashing of pit files(in a case where recovery is completely inaccessible my guide is useless) , which I have seen people recommending to do, if the user is lucky enough to flash a kernel and bootup the recovery, memory block corruption(it can happen because of reasons like phone turned off while flashing via Odin, removing cable midway of odin flash, and possibly several others) can also be effectively corrected.
Edit :I have made the guide a little bit more safer so that any noob who ignores all the warnings and go ahead with the procedure will stop after the first step if he/she is not having corrupted block's, effectively keeping him/her safe.

Wow. That's a magical fix
OP - You were told to search for similar threads, there are 6 or so other steps you haven't even tried once yet. Bottom line is, if you want your phone fixed, you're going to need to do everything and quite possibly do it over & over till it works. Nobody here can do that for you. If you can't be bothered trying 2nd or 3rd PC and go thru the troubleshooting steps as well on those if necessary, your phone is going to stay busted.
The end.
