So, i have a very strange problem. I had some problems with my sim reader and bought the cheapest phone i could until my new sim reader cam in. the phone i got was a windows phone. i pulled the sd card from the note 2 and stuck it in the windows phone. after the sim reader was replaced and everything was all good, i pulled the sim and sd card from the dreaded windows phone and stuck them back in the note 2. all good until i went to charge the battery. when i plug it in, i get a message if "battery disconnected"
i have tried to re-flash the rom, wipe everything including the sd and internal memory. tried different rom, different battery... different sd card
here comes the strange part. it will charge while in recovery and connect to the pc. so i don't think it can be the charging port.
i am thinking the card did something strange
any advice???

This is strange.. I have a suggestion.. try going into Settings> Backup & Reset and do a factory reset from there..if that doesn't work try odin the stock recovery and then perform a factory reset in the Stock recovery..just follow the steps in the sticky general thread for Data Corruption
I have odin back to stock. Factory reset in rom and recovery. I have tried a new recovery. Used the pit file while odin back. I have ##rtn# Changed battery. Changed usb port. I will have to look in the data corruption thread. I feel like it will be something dumb.

It's dumb when it indeed helps people.. So you did a factory reset in STOCK recovery..Not philz or twrp..STOCK
Well..... I know I wiped cache and dalvik... with stock recovery. but maybe not a factory reset. I will try. I will try anything for that matter.

Ok so I was in the process of putting a custom ROM on my Samsung SGH-T959D yesterday and the cord slipped out on my in the middle of the process.
Now I cannot get into "Download" mode, I can only get to Android Recovery Mode <3e>. The biggest issue I am getting is that the internal SD card is not mounted now and none of the options it gives will let me do anything.
Also, my phone is not being recognized by my computer so I can't use Odin. In a sense my computer does recognize it but only as a CD-Rom...
I have read numerous threads that say to push files from my pc to sd card but I am unsure as to how to do this with my PC not recognizing the phone as a mass storage.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. And yes I have tried multiple times to figure things out.
Phone Info
Telus Samsung SGH-T959D
GB 2.3.3 (What was on the phone anyway)
When running it registered a storage of 2GB and another of 13+ GB plus I can put my external sd card.
Android Recovery <3e>
-Reboot System Now
-Apply update from sdcard
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
E:failed to mount /data/fota (No such file or directory)
#MANUAL MODE#
If their is any other info that is needed please just ask and I will give you what I can as I will be keeping an eye on this thread.
I know this is a silly question but did you try a factory reset? Otherwise you could look into making/buying a download jig. Google it and all shall be answered. You can get one on ebay for cheap. Sorry I can't be of more help
I'd try a jig and push stock to the phone

Just to update. I finally got the chance to order a Jig from ebay. Just waiting for it to be delivered.

So recently I finally got my Telus Samsung Fascinate 3G+ (SGH-T959D) fully functional with Darky Rom 10.2 . Only issue I am having is I'm not sure if my battery is messed up or if my attempts to calibrate it have failed.
Any suggestions?

I think my battery is messed up because the phone will say 'fully charged' and as soon as i unplug it the battery drops to 80-88% and only lasts about 6 hrs with very minimal use.

I would flash a ROM and make sure you are at full battery when you do it (charge from an OFF state). Wipe batt stats when you flash it.
Sounds like you may have a bad flash, or could be that your battery is bad.

i got similar trouble with you.
Hi, i'm a new user of SG SII, and i don't know much about it. I was trying to install new ROM on it, first I tried to unroot my phone with CF ROOT, after that everthing was OK. Then i tried to install REVOLT JB i9100 ver 2.8.2, when i got by CWM in recovery, instead of clicking wipe data, then cache and ccache partition i did: wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partition, wipe dalwik cache and format system. I flashed kernel and during ROM installation phone turned off and did turn on. i think it's hard bricked. I don't know what to do, please help.
Are you still able to get into don't download mode o your phone ? ( volume down, home key, power button )
If so, reflash your kernel and go from there.
Also have a look at CyanogenMod, they have a good post with instructions on here.

no, phone doesn.t response on anything, even if i'm charging the battery.
Try removing your battery and unplug cables.
Then try download or recovery mode again.
If it really doesnt work then there is probably something fried on your system board, doubt anything you can do about it as i had the same not that long ago out of the blue.

You can always tell them that you were updating via kies and it dropped dead just like that.
Your battery was low when you tried to flash it, wasn't it?
try a jig first tho; there's something fishy about those wipes you mentioned.

On some occasions flashing a device can use 40-50% of battery to prep and flash device which is why its advised to never flash your phone unless you have at least 50-60% battery.
If power cuts out during flashing procedure it can damage nand/ic chip, corrupt bootloader, corrupt sdcards etc.
After leaving it plugged into to charger overnight try a USB jig to see if you can get it to wake up in download mode, If you can re-flash rom and go from there.

From what you described, it couldn't have hard bricked your phone. In fact, it isn't easy to hard brick our phone unless you install that infamous ICS 4.0.4 leaked ROM or mess with flashing of PIT file. Try to use another fully charged battery to boot up or go into CWM recovery.

while i was installing new rom, process was like 0% for about 5 minutes, and then phone just turned off. When i did flashing and installing CWM everything was ok. I rooted it with CF root.
Exact same problem here. Followed the root guide to the letter and all OK. Set omega rom installing and it stayed at 0 for five mins then it shut off. Now no life at all.
Gonna build a jig tomorrow so I'll update here if it works.
Really hope so as it's a mates phone.
I've done my s3, s1 and the Mrs s2 without it going wrong so I'm not sure how it went wrong this time.

Your phone have got super brick, and the JIG nothing to do.... You must go to service.
The reason for this is stock kernel who has kode cause brick.

Running into a little hick-up with my DNA. Never seen anything like this so I'm stumped. After flashing M7 Digital Dreams V1.1, I installed the sim card from my galaxy note 2 and the phone says it's an invalid sim card. I put the card back into the Note 2 and it works fine. I then tried the sim in another friends GS3 and it worked in that phone. Not sure what's up. I tried re-wiping the phone (full wipe) and re-installing the rom. No Luck. Also tried Zone DNA rom and I get the same message. Is there something I need to flash to recognize the sim card?
Any ideas or advice is greatly appreciated!!

I'm having a somewhat similar problem, but not to your extent. I've flashed the same ROM you mention above and when leaving a Wifi connection to 4G (like when I leave my house and get in the car), my sim card gives an error. I get it back to working properly by rebooting, but it's a pain.
This occurs for me on other Sense 5 ROMS too.
Well I just got off the phone with vzw customer service and they are sending out a new phone. According to the rep, the latest update that rolled out on 4/15 was supposed to address this sim card issue. Specifically the "PUK locked" message, which is what I was getting when I flashed back to the latest stock ROM.
Sometimes if my phone freezes up and I need to do a battery pull my phone will randomly bootloop. This has happened to me about 3 or 4 times on all kinds of roms, tw and aosp. One time on a tw rom it ended up booting into the samsung setup wizard. It was weird because it didnt wipe my phone but all my apps were force closing if I opened them. The only fix was to wipe and flash again. This happened on Nephilim rom last. Also this has happened on several kernels. Has this happened to anyone else? Do you think this could be a hardware issue? Thanks in advance.
It's to my happened to me with certain ROM installs when I flashed dirty/without doing a factory reset prior to flashing.

Odin to stock and see if you can make it happen. If it doesn't happen on stock then it's something you have done while flashing. Are you using sd swap?

I mean I fix it by flashing another rom so I don't need to odin. Everything is okay so far. And no I'm not using SD swap. Just wanted to see too if anyone has experienced it. I have a feeling it has to do with my device I may get a replacement
So the problem started when I flashed a 4.3 rom last friday. I formatted my internal memory in recovery mode because for some reason I only had 4 gigs of space and had moved everything over to the sd card. Once that was done phone said like 8 gigs available and thought everything was fixed. Well now if I turn off my phone it gets stuck in some kind of bootloop but it's not looping. It's just sits at the Samsung unlock symbol and custom screen. Doesn't loop just sits there. So one day I decided to format the internal memory again and the phone boots up like normal, but I can't power off the phone without going into recovery and formatting the internal memory every time. Any ideas on what is causing it or how I can make the Samsung custom boot stock instead so I can send it out.
I also have tried flashing another 4.3 rom and it doesn't seem to go away either.
I'm not an expert on how they have to make this stuff work with the mdk bootloader but I'm sure it's not hardware related. Have you tried flashing back to a 4.2 rom?
