Hi Guys,
Had a problem with the lolipop upgrade on my 850f.
I was BTU (Unrooted) before on 4.4.
after flashing the XEF lollipop via odin, i went to recovery to wipe device and it wiped most except for E: for which it gave an error (E: unknown volume for path /sbfs) - i ignored the error and proceeded ahead.
Unit reboots perfectly, all OK except for the left capacitive key. the light on it works but it doesnt detect anything, i tried the *#0*# option to check if its picking up anything but the key is unresponsive.
i know its not a HW issue since it was working perfectly before the lollipop flash.
i have wiped by device twice after that and get the same 2 problems, the E: error during wipe and the left capacitive key is not working.
any suggestions?

I have the same problem, tried wipe/factory reset, both before flash and after. Still same error. My solution is to flash back to 4.4.4. Then it starts to work again

ah okay, you tried flashing 502 again after your key works in 444? also what versio of odin did you use? i used 3.10...
would be good to know what others used who arent having this problem.
I have flashed it 4 times, still same problem. Even after flashing 4.4.4. Tried both 3.10 and 1.85 odin. Same problem

interesting.... it seems like a fw bug but its wierd that not many are affected by it.
i would like to know or pin point whats causing this.
were you on BTU before you upgraded to 502?
did you encounter the E: unknown volume for path /sbfs error?
do you think the firmware file we downloaded had a corruption?

I was on rooted stock 4.4.4. Just bought it, I also encountered the same error, and I've downloaded 5.0.2 from 3 different mega upload. So I don't think that's the problem :/

interesting buddy, sounds like both the error are related..?
anyone had the E: error but the left soft/capacitive key still works after the update to 502?
same problem
left softkey not working
Did you get the E: error during the device wipe?
We all have G850F model, the only difference is the SCS, aka for which market our phones are made for, mine is originally XEH (Hungary), converted to XEF, and i don't have that problem. Why don't people who have issues with left softkey say for which market are their phones made for, maybe we can narrow it down.
Someone with a Galaxy Alpha "SM-G850A" (the at&t) model posted a very similar problem here. His left softkey stopped working after the update and as there is no Stock firmware file available for the A model he was pretty much struck with a broken device. So i don't think it has anything to do with ODIN or CSC. the guy with atnt phone updated his via OTA the bug HAS TO BE in the firmware but so far only a few devices have been affected. This is the real question here.
mine was btu and i flashed the firmware via odin 3.10
after the update i reset and saw the e: error and once device booted the left key was dead.
is usb debugging have something to do with it?
i try to reflash and wipe today
it still problem.
left key is dead

Originally the CSC was XEH (Hungary) I updated the phone with the XEF FW and I also get the /sbfs error in recovery. Although everything seems to for except on thing: Doing a firmware upgrade and initialization in KIES it sets the CSC to TPH (Portugal) and now displays tww versions for the CSC. So from that time KIES doesn't recognize the phone as a stock device.
Cannot go back to the original FW even if I download it from sammobile since I cannot set the CSC without root privileges
Does any body know a solution for this issue?

after installing xef with odin - no problems, all buttons work, no overheating, good performance
i have flashed the firmware without enabling usb debugging
maby one of you with issues should try flashing without usb debug enabled like in my post from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60519632&postcount=10
I had the same problem, and I did this:
Went to Chrome - Settings - Combine Tabs and Apps. I deactivated the option, and by mistake, hit the back button, and started working.
Eventhough the option is Deactivated, when I press the left button, I can see Chorme's tabs wtithin the Recents Apps.
After that had to install and app from Google Play, and after doing so, the button stopped working again. I restarted de phone, and 20 minutes later, the button started working. I have no clue of what's going on.

Hi folks,
i'm and european (german) with an prepaid, simlock-free net-free SG2 device.
At the moment i am in New York City. First - everything was alright. Only GPS Signal couldn't be found, i downloaded much stuff - cleared A-GPS - nothing worked for me. So i tried to flash another Kernel.
Problem - i'm on a Mac. I did it with Heimdall and this instruction: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-att-galaxy-s2-on-mac-or-linux-sgh-i777/
After that (worked) - GPS also worked - but my Home-Button now is like "dead". It doesn't react. No Hardware issue. It must be the kernel i flashed to it. I tried to flash another kernel with the same command :
sudo heimdall flash --kernel zImage
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but the second time flashing a kernel didn't work for me.
the boot screen now has a yellow sign with an "!" in it.
So i chose a "Hard reset" in the Privacy Settings of Android 2.3.4.
Now my Home-Button doesn't work and i can't step through the initial android setup process .... because my Home-Button doesn't work.
How do i fix this? Please help me! I'm on vacation and i need the GPS later for Florida trip with car.
Tell me how i can read out Kernel / Firmware / Baseband without running a system (w/o home button usage) or how to get the original kernel working again.
i need you guys !
I use Mac OS X Lion.
when i now want to flash a kernel this error appears in terminal running heimdall
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
Claiming interface...
ERROR: Claiming interface failed!

sorry for push but i need urgent help.
very sorry for that.

2.3.6
Basisband: I9100XXKI4
Kernel-Version: 2.6.35.7_ZedomaxStockKernel [email protected] #21
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XWLA4
android 2.3.6. now running.
what to do next ?
i can't fix that kernel .... heimdall still complains even after reinstalling with sudo open heimdall command
Hi mate, try this...
Turn OFF your phone, remove the battery, leave it for about 3 mins, place the batt again, dont turn ON...! try if you can enter into the Recovery Mode of the S2 by holding the Volume Up + Home + Power buttons of your Galaxy until the Samsung logo comes up.
After that you can try to do a WIPE of the "Cache" and "Dalvik Cache", not Data or you gonna lose anything, and restart..
thanks for the reply dude.
I can't do a wipe cache or wipe dalvik cache without a working home-button. i can't choose in the menu........
the problem is the firmware. my home -button doesn't work. How do i solve this ?
Try select with the power menu button .
jje
power button selection doesn't work. the menu is disappearing. by pressing power button again menu appears again.
can't access "advanced"
now i'm going to staples.... fixing that **** with odin -.- wish me luck
please send me some kernels here with tutorial what to do in odin.
i need that help
same happains to be i oden the stock roms, custom roms but no use, home button is gone
@OP, you've flashed something meant for the SGH-I777 on your GT-I9100. Just flash a stock ROM for the correct device.
There is an easy fix. Use a USB jig to get into download mode. Then flash again with heimdall but this time use a i9100 kernel/ROM
SO HARDCORE
****ing finally did it in download-mode and with RIGHT firmware from sammobile AND the other Mac from my brother running heimdall the first time on it.
My Specs now:
Modelnumber: GT-I9100
Android-Version:2.3.6
Basisbandversion: I9100XXKI4
Kernel-Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWLA4-CL900411 [email protected] #2
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XWLA4
Now with my german SIM card from blau.de (e-plus) doesn't get the american cell-phone network connection.
But all Buttons are working again.
Should i flash the "modem" file from "I9100XWLA4_I9100XXKI4_I9100EPLK1" now with heimdall?
Or which basis band protocol/ version is the right one for a working european AND northamerican network.
Please give me some additional information how to flash it and what file / basis band.
so glad now ...... at least i can listen to music or surf on starbucks wifi for orientation in new york ...... i was sooo lost the last days.
PS: i still have the CWM (i think) in vol down & power button mode
ok i tried heimdall again now to flash modem.bin again with MB Pro of my brother
i successfully detected device . then tried heimdall flash --modem modem.bin
error was protocol not detected.
at the second try: error was : like in post 1. claiming interface failed.
haalp please
............... just need a name of baseband and a short how to do
can i update my baseband with CWM ?
there is a "sim card symbol" in the status bar with an "!".
if i want to call somebody there's the message "couldn't connect network"
haalp.
nothing helped.
I still get no mobile network connection.
I have DarkyOTA installed, rooted.

Kernel won't matter for signal quality.
I'm in Oregon, with an I9100, on AT&T. My device currently has XXKI3 firmware, which has XXKI3 modem, and everything works perfectly.
That said, I believe the XXKI4 modem should work as well. Looks like you have the XXKI4 modem, based on post what you have in post 11. But you also say you are trying with a German provider SIM card? Have you tried with an AT&T SIM card?
EDIT to add: Getting a pre-paid SIM from AT&T may end up being cheaper in the long run for you than whatever roaming agreement E-plus has with AT&T anyways. Just food for thought.
EDIT 2: you can always try reflashing XXKI4 modem, or if you want to try it, flash the XXKI3 modem. Modem thread here.
well i know i am roaming. I leave internet shut off. But i want to telephone in Problem situations when i loose my little brother etc.
I have DarkyOTA and i can flash every Firmware (Modem?! -same?!) which is displayed there.
XXKI4 doesn't work either ...... (flashed from DarkyOTA ... root ok ...flash ok ... SU ok ....)
well that SIM Card worked that days until i messed up my phone flashing
lol ****ing **** I9000XWLA4 works
Hi all, like the title says I'm having problem after installing via Odin the ICS official. My phone is ITV no brand.
I downloaded the XEO version as suggested here
XEO (Poland) Also has CSC (CPW, DBT, ITV, KOR, XEF, XEU) : Download Mirror: Download Mirror 2: Download Torrent: Download
The flash goes well but after reboot, and after each reboot the phone remains stucked on a black screen where there is the icon of Kies air with written "Installing applications".
I'm able to access the task manager by long-pressing the home button but the home never appears!!!
Anyone has any clue about this issue?

Did you factory reset the phone before flashing ICS ??
I did that amd im not having any problems as yet!
No, no factory reset but it should not be mandatory.... I mean reading the official thread it seems that a lot of people are flashing without doing the wipe or factory reset...
I don't think that should be the problem...
Do not consider the previous post. It was actually that!
After a hard-reset (done using buttons combo) the problem is vanished!!!
Thanks a lot!!!

Dear noob, restart and hard reset is not the same. To hard reset, you need to turn off your device. Then, keep pressing volume up, home and power button. Your device should now turn on and go to the recovery. Next, select the option to factory reset. Now you're done.
Your gaming record will of course lose. To not lose it, go back to GB first and backup your data using titanium backup. Restore it when flashing back to ICS
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
However it is quite an annoying issue!
I mean, it is an official update, I was really hoping to update without problems so I haven't made any backups before
I had the same problem, and found that it was caused when I didn't remove the SD card after the update.
Removing the SD card solved the problem and the "Installing Applications" was going on.
In summary I have upgraded to ICS (Official), but am unable to connect to my carrier network and some of the OS seems missing; If I long press my power button I don't get the device menu, it just turns off.
Full details:
I am on a South African network, and the ROM shipped with my device is I9100XWKI4_I9100OJCKI1_XFA. I downloaded two variants of the new ICS ROM from link;XWLP7 & XXLPQ and I downloaded the latest Odin.
From there I followed these instructions:
Extract the firmware
Open the included Odin
Put your device in Recovery MODE (Home + Volume up + Power)
Wipe Data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache
Take Out Your battery & put it back in
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!
On both ROMs, following the PASS message my phone rebooted, and everything starts up perfectly; Applications get installed and so on. Only one big problem, I can not connect to a carrier network (The OS also never prompts me to unlock my SIM card). When I bring down my network menu (swipe down) it says Emergency Calls Only. I then figured I would try and manually select a carrier network, so I went and scanned for networks and selected Vodacom. I then get an error message saying "Error cannot connect". I also don't seem to have access to the menu one gets when holding down the power button, if I hold it down the device shuts down; no silent, power off, etc menu.
This happens with both of the rom variants I have. After trying everything in my limited knowledge I gave up, found and downloaded the old I9100XWKI4_I9100OJCKI1_XFA rom. I am now back on that rom and everything is working fine.
I have also tried following these steps: link
Except I restore factory settings and wipe cache before deploying the ROM. I then sought the help of a fellow Droid user from the South African forums, who suggested that I flash onto the old Dutch firmware (GT-I9100_XEN_I9100XWKJ3_I9100XENKJ1_I9100XXKI4). After confirming it worked and I could get onto the network, I took the SIM out and did a proper firmware upgrade via KIES. The upgrade went in without any issue, BUT after the upgrade the problem was still there; no carrier network, no power button menu.
After further fiddling I figured that the OS not asking for my SIM PIN must be one of the causes of my issue, so I went to my settings and turned SIM security off and on. After doing so, suddenly the device hopped onto my carrier network. This did not solve the issue though, as I have to do this after every reboot.
I have checked to ensure my IMEI number is fine, and it is 100%. When I flashed to the XEO version, I could get into the *#272* menu and change my CSC. After doing so, problem was still there.
I am now totally confused as to what on earth could be causing the issue, especially considering other people on the same device with the same carrier seem to be able to flash without hassle - does anyone have any suggestions, or ideas? Come on XDA!
Try checking the efs\imei folder to see if the keystr file is there. If its not, make one with the value 1. Search the q and a forum for more info
Can this be done without rooting my phone?
EDIT: Required rooting. Was the missing "keystr" file in my EFS/IMEI directory (link)

Hey guys,
since 2-3 weeks i'm using the 6.0.1 official version which i got via OTA update (everything original on my phone, no root, no flashing any software) for my international S6 Edge.
First i noted havy battery drain and uninstalled a few apps. A weather widge forced the heacy battery drain and my phone worked fine.
Since 4 Days i have problems with random reboots. It started with some reboots a day and now it keeps rebooting after i unlocked sim card and want to use my phone. I managed to put my phone in flight mode and i were able to make a backup of my userdata via samsung smartswitch. I initialized the phone via the software and it flashed the newest version. After it finished it booted up and in the language selection screen it keeps rebooting.
I read about corrupted files due update from version 5.x to 6.0.1 and thought to wipe the phone and flash newest software via smartswitch would fix the problem but my phone is not usable anymore.
Maybe you have any advice for me?
Thanks for your further help!

Hi borth87
As it won't get worst, I suggest to flash a clean Stock version.
From SamMobile find the latest firmware for your device model.
After, for the download, I suggest you to use:
[TOOL] SamFirm - Samsung firmware downloader & checker
Just provide Model+Region and it will find you the newer firmware available. Please, before download, check the boxes: CRC32 & Decrypt
Flash the above using the lastest Odin v3.11.1
- Open Odin
- Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
- Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
- Add the firmware file downloaed to AP / PDA
- Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
- Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
Let us know your path.
Nice regards.

Hi.
I has the same problem. I tried to flash all of firmwares (always STOCK), but it's failed with ODIN all times. Samsung Smart Switch PC software say system repair succesfull (with emergency update repair), but the problem keep joke with me.
Phone don't repond without charger. With PC connection, i don't allow to run restore mode, only ODIN mode. With Wall charger adapter, i allow to run restore mode, odin mode, safe system mode, normal system, but i wiped cache, i do factory reset, i rebooted in bootloader and rebooted system as normal. When i run system in normal mode, language selection show up, and when i press next, phone reboot. When i run system in safe mode, i can select my language, and i can connect to my WiFi, but after i press NEXT at wifi list, phone reboot.
So in safe mode i able to do more one step, but system keep rebooting. Charging screen show battery at 89-90% all times, system start updating battery status from 1% to 100% (1 percent/ 1.5 sec).
Some times red-green-blue-purple rows show at Samsung logo and i got bootloop. Like when i put off my battery from my old phone.
Hi All,
I'm really not sure how to go about with this so hopefully I can get some help here. I have a Note 4 (N910T) model which was never able to do OTA update from it's 5.1.1 state. It'd download the patch and upon reboot, it'd say installation fail.
Eventually I went into the rabbit hole and used Odin to try to update the phone to 6.0.1. No luck either as it'd just get stuck on aboot. I rebooted the phone and tried to use Smartswtich from samsung and hoped that it'd update using that. Not only does it not work and stuck in the "Odin Mode (fast track)" screen, it eventually tell me that I need to go through recovery to get it back.
I didn't know what to do at that point, so I've decided to try my luck again with Odin. This time, the patch went through successfully with my surprise. However upon reboot after the patch is installed, it gave me an error "DRK not found" error. I simply reboot the phone and all seems to be working. On 6.0.1, no lagging issue, no wireless/mobile network issue, nothing.
However, I do want to know if I still have an error of DRK not found, and would like to patch that hole before any problem occurs. Can any one help? I haven't rooted the phone yet.
bump, any help would be welcomed. Thanks!! :crying:
Is it still giving that error upon every reboot or it was only on the first reboot? If you aren't having other issues and your IMEI / service / etc is fine, then nothing to worry about.
You also kept mentioning "patch". This is not common usage. What file did you flash via Odin?
Thanks for the reply!! this is what i downloaded to update the firmware using Odin:
rootmygalaxy.net/download-install-n910tuvu2epe3-marshmallow-t-mobile-note-4 (http at front)
the IMEI seems fine, and it doesn't show the error upon reboot except the first time. However the phone seems to freeze quite often now for no reason at all. Not sure how to troubleshoot that one.

Did you install the 1st link there from the Download button or the 2nd one for the n910t3 file located @ androidfile?
I actually used another firmware today and so far it seems to not lag AS much.. but still freezes with no apparent reason:

The one that I downloaded was N910TUVS2EPG2_N910TTMB2EPG2_TMB = v6.0.1 = Build date Thu, 07 Jul 2016 13:33:23 +0000 = NEWEST UPLOADED FIRMWARE
The reason I flash again is because I tried to root my device using CF_auto root, which upon reboot, caused an error of "Kernel is not Seandroid enforcing" on boot menu.
Oh and the DRK error comes back everytime after i flash the firmware, but it only appears once, and no more on subsequent reboots. My IMEI looks fine but my S/N upon typing *#60# is (none)
bump .. phone is rebooting more and more, and it's freezing more often now... help please!!
