Hello, I am a newbie Android user and I have been exploring the greatness of the OS for few days now.
Just now I tried to update my firmware to 2.3.5 and followed instruction from a non-xda developer site and little did I know, it messed up my phone big time.
While I was loading all the files (CSC, tar, modem, etc), and I should've known better when the site told me to check the "re partition" box, but I was stupid enough to go along with it.
So Odin got stuck at re-writing the modem or something like that and I had to pull out the battery from the phone.
Now the phone turns on only in recovery mode and none of the recovery choices work, if I choose one it just shows a little green android with white bordered triangle with an orange exclamation mark in the middle.
I can still access the download mode by using conventional button pressing method, but my phone is NO LONGER RECOGNIZED through the USB so I cannot flash the old stock firmware...
Is there a fix for this? If anyone can help me resolve this issue I am willing to compensate very well in return...
Thank you so much for reading my convoluted troubled story, and I really hope to find some resolution in your wisdom.

Than their is only one option left

I'd be down to do so but it will be hard as I have 4 custom binary flash counter... What can I do as of now?
i dont know if this helps you out buddy but maybe if you read in this thread you might find people that had the same trouble as you..just try and search the thread first and if nothing comes up try and read the first page maybe there you might get an idea on how to unbrick the phone

Thank you.. But I unfortunately did not follow the instructions that is written there I used an external source which told me to check "re partition" which completely messed up the phone, I think. Thank you for your input, though.

i dont want to advice you wrongly but you say you can get into download mode right? if it was my phone i would try and flash again but this time using the proper way to do it....but its down to you my friend i dont want to say do it and it gets worse..
EDIT: apologies i just saw that your usb is not recognised...do you have kies on the background when you flash with odin?
Check this unbricker
android-roms.googlecode.com/files/DREAIMG-RC29.zip
Download DREAIMG-RC29.zip and unzip the file.
Reformat the SD card to FAT32 and copy the DREAIMG.nbh onto it.
Safely eject the SD card.
Put the SD card into your device.
Step 3: Wipe The Phone
Hold home and press the power button.
When you see the image of an ! mark, open your keyboard and press Alt + L if you cannot see any command options.
Do a factory reset by pressing Alt + W or just using the trackball.
When the reset is done, go ahead and hold the camera button and select the reboot system now option with your trackball.
Step 4: Flashing The Phone
Once the grey screen pops up (or the white screen if your phone was rooted with JesusFreke) it will ask you to hit a button to start installing the image…press that button. DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO STOP THIS PROCCESS. It will take about 8-12 minutes.
When the image has completed the installation (it will say completed), go ahead and press the green, red, and menu buttons at the same time. The phone will reboot.
And your done! Your phone is now unbricked!.
If this helps u buy me a HTC sensation.

Thanks for such detailed instruction! Would this method work if my phone is no longer recognized by the computer though? Please clarify what you mean by "open your keyboard" and the subsequent steps...

Ah I see. Could you please help me understand what you mean by "open keyboard?" I just don't see how I could open keyboard on my SGS2 when it isn't recognized by my computer... If you could clarify what you mean by that it will be really appreciated!
So from your information provided, you have a stock recovery and your phone is semi-bricked. You can still boot and your computer won't recognize your phone.
Do you have a jig? What firmware did you flash? You could use a jig to reset the flash counter on the phone and return it for warranty saying that Kies messed up while upgrading firmware. If you've flashed the KI3 with the new bootloader then the jig won't be able to clear the flash counter.
EDIT: Maybe an experienced senior member might come and look at this thread and provide some other solution. Do wait!
EDIT2: Try reinstalling Kies and the drivers. Don't give up just yet!

I don't think that the guide he posted is particularly for galaxy s2 because he also mentioned a trackball...
but if you can go the settings he mentioned you might find something and lead you.
And if you decide to bring the phone to samsung you might want to have a read at Intratechs Official firmware
thread in (Original Android Development)there you can find a bootloader that you can flash so you can use the jig to reset the counter
edit: wow I also failed to read that your computer can't recognise your phone
anymore....
Have you tried to delete the samsung drivers when you go to
your hardware settings?? and let windows find it's drivers again?
Not sure if this will help. I read somewhere someone else with their PC not really recognizing the phone. Someone else advised to unplug the phone and remove the battery then connect to PC insert battery and put it into download mode.
I could be wrong with the method. Its just from my memory.
Also this may make no difference but maybe removing the sim and SD card. Someone will probably call me stupid for suggesting that though.
I wouldn't try that unbrick method mate. That looks like it is an unroot for an old phone..possible the G1 (AKA HTC Dream).
Thanks for all the help... I have been trying to uninstall the driver and reinstall it but no luck. If I could just get the phone to be recognized I think I will be fine, but I just don't know what to do
Thank you for all the suggestions, please keep them coming!
EDIT: this is the guide I used that messed up my phone.. http://androidflip.com/install-andr...-samsung-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-installing-guide/
EDIT: Tried to reinstall KIES, no luck. It's like there's nothing on the other side of the USB cord... Not even a sound when I plug the phone in...
If it had been via XDA the instructions are do not do what they are saying .
In Odin Select Re-Partition , Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time
In Odin select these files
For PIT select u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
BIG BIG NO to the above .
As usual some stuff ripped from XDA and some from elsewhere .
My suggestion would be one buy USB jig it hopefully will clear the rom counter and enter download mode .
two in recovery mode go to mounts and storage and format cache data dalvik system and sd card .
Clean phone with nothing on it .Flash stock firmware .

Thanks, I tried to do this but unfortunately the problem persists... What do you think the root of the problem is? I just dont' get it why it won't be recognized anymore.. I feel like I could easily get it to work if I could just get it to become recognized to flash stock firmware....
EDIT: JJE, I would turn it into the service place but I have custom rom count of 4 And I don't have any USB jigs to work with either.... I am still within the 15 days of the phone purchase day, would they be willing to swap my phone?
BUMP, any input would be appreciated...
Hello all
Today I got the notification of an update available from HTC for my unlocked Titan (on Three UK), currently on 8107.
Yet again another HTC update that does not tell what it is for, but I decide to install it anyway.
However, the update process fails every time with error 801812DC (see pictures attached), saying that there is a problem in the back-up of the phone.
Rebooting the phone, the computer and connect/disconnect did not help, always the same.
Also, this error is not included in the list on windowsphone.com.
Anyone with the same issue?
Thanks

EDIT: Solved. Probably I did not have enough space on disk for the backup.
EDIT2: No, not solved. Now I have space, but still same problem.

I got the update too!
I am installing it now - I am guessing it's the drivers fix for 8107 based on the back up creation steps it has followed. If I get the error, I will update it. I am on step 7. Hope this is a fix and not another lock down update!
HEADS UP: those who want custom ROM etc, DONT update just yet.
EDIT: At step 9 - my phone restarted. I unlocked the screen and it said 'Update successful'. However since last 7 minutes my Zune is stuck at step 9 and says 'restarting your phone'
Did you check that you have enough free space to create the backup?

Actually no. Thanks for the hint, this could have been the reason.
However, I tried again the update after closing a few applications (which were possibly using some space on disk), and the update was succesful.
Now after the update I realise I have only 6 Gb left on my C: drive.
Anyway, if that was the reason, why not to say: "Disk full" instead of "Error 801812DC"???? What does Microsoft expect from their users?
Thank you all for your support!

I am having the same error message. How much space did you free up?
I now have 11.3GB free on my C: drive and it is still not working. Same error every time.

How much space are you using on your phone? You need at min the same free space... If you can't then delete all the music etc to make the backup smaller
Sent from my TITAN X310e using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Tried a new cable and no joy, also deleted all the music off my phone. Really don't want to factory reset so might wait for another update to come out.
Again, 801812DC
And here I am again, Tango update, same problem.
So I can confirm it was NOT due to lack of hard drive space. Now I have 30 Gb free on my hard drive, and 6 Gb of memory used on my Titan. Still, 801812DC.
Anybody figured a solution?

What's ur current spl/boot loader version? You need to upgrade to most recent htc spl 2.6 which meant to address error in updating with Zune.

HTC says it addresses errors 80070013 / 8007000F, hopefully mine too.

The same thing happened to me, I end up manually restarting phone before zune completes. And I agree with ur caution that for those who wants hspl and custom rom don't attempt to install this update! Not worth the hassle.

Thanks habnzrot, but unfortunately no, even after installing Bootloader 2.6 from HTC, same problem. Backup interrupts at 11%, phone restarts and error.
Any help?

Ok, really tried everything now, including:
- Updating SPL to 2.6 (latest available from HTC)
- Unliking the phone to Zune
- Reinstalling Zune and pairing the phone again
- Deleting the folder "Windows Phone Backup" as suggested by someone on the internet
- Running Zune as Administrator
- Deleting most of the apps from the phone
- Creating even more disk space on my computer
- Using another USB cable (instead of the stock HTC USB cable)
I phoned HTC support, and their solution is hard reset. If, after that, still does not work, I have to send my phone to repair.
Obviously I would like to leave hard reset as last option.
I noticed so many other people have the same problem:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...&CurrentScope.Filter=wp7&askingquestion=false
But no-one can answer. I wonder:
- Why this error code is not included in the web page I am sent to, by Zune, to check the error code?
- There must be ONE guy at Microsoft, who implemented this error code. Why they are not answering and telling us what it is?
I am very frustrated.

Have you tried updating with another computer?
Also, try this:
1. Run services.msc (If you're using Windows XP, press Start, click Run, type services.msc then press Enter. If you're using Windows Vista or later with no Run in the Start menu, type services.msc in the search box then press Enter.)
2. Look for the "Automatic Updates" service, make sure it is started. If not, start it. Change its startup type to Automatic.
3. Look for the "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" service, make sure it is started. If not, start it. Change its startup type to Manual.
4. Look for the "Automatic Updates" service, make sure it is started. If not, start it. Change its startup type to Automatic.

Ok So this weekend i got a EVO 3D new from some dude got a really good deal on it its clean esn and its for sprint, so what i noticed is that it is rooted not a big deal but the main issue i have here is i cant get rid of his EMAIL its the main email on the app market so i can even get into the market to down load anything.,
Its rooted by abd Hboot1.5 Relocked all ready ive tried un rooting it my self and i seem to have got it but on my cmd promt it says waiting for device and on the Ruu file is says cable not dected ive tried 4 different usb slots and 3 cables. i know its not the cable because it works when im using it to put songs and pictures on my phone...
If there is any way i can get rid of the email and keep the root that would be awsome if not i want to un root it.. any suggestions or advice?
You can just do a factory reset to reset his main Gmail username and password. However, if it's not connecting via a usb cable, it's likely he sold you a phone with a bad usb port.
Here is what I'd do, If your cool with it.
Here is what I'd do, If your cool with it:
1. Boot up into HBOOT. (Turn off phone, take out battery, put back in, then hold volume + power until a white screen comes up.)
2. Scroll down with the volume buttons to FACTORY RESET Then press the power button.
3. The phone should reset and you should come back to a clean phone. THIS WILL WIPE ALL DATA ON THE PHONE
If you don't wish to do this, I have another method that will involve unlocking the boot loader (WIPES DATA) then flashing TWRP and wiping the data portion of the phone.
---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------
1. Go to Settings
2. Scroll down to accounts and sync.
3. Find the guy's gmail account.
4. Tap it and then tap remove.
It may give an error, but it is worth a try. Sorry for the overcomplicated old response... got a bit carried away.

Go into Settings and Accounts; you should be able to remove the Google Account there, which should remove his GMail. Other than that, removing all the data from the GMail app in Settings and Applications should do the trick too.
Man o Man let me tell you guys, when i said ive tried everything i have,
I ve done the factory reset and all his info is still there i called sprint and they gave me that ## number # and still nothing.
Ive added my email and tried removing his and cant because its says hi email is sync with some apps..

Problem Solved the Root has been Unrooted thanks to everybodys help and ome videos, this whole time i thought i was doing it wrong but i jut needed to install the Driver.. Now we are good to go and im looking for a new Rom..
Ive opened this thread coz many people are finding my tutorial usefull
so here goes and if it helps let me know and give me a thanks
Hi i was new to all this and installed dynamics v2.0 fully unlocked rom the other day and this is how i went about it
download this
RUU_Mozart_Orange_UK_1.24.061.35_Radio_5.50.09.18_22.24.50.09U
http://www8.zippyshare.com/v/48117282/file.html
this is a load your phone back to 1.24
to install it i did this
turn phone off hold down volume down and turn phone on you should go to the bootloader screen then plug in your usb cable to the pc,
then on the white line at the bottom on phone screen should say usb instead of serial but maybe it will need to install some drivers cant remember 100%
when it is ready open that file and click the RomUpdateUtility.exe and follow the steps in that then you will have your phone back to 1.24
next you can follow this post here and download the attachment at the bottom named DFT_XSPL_WP7FG1.rar this what u need for this step
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
basically this is the install procedure u may need to install active sync (XP) or windows mobile device center (vista and 7) but i did not have to my phone automatically did this
DFT_RSPL_WP7FG1_LAUNCH allows you to load RSPL on the device:
1. Extract ALL files from RAR archive.
2. Run DFT_RSPL_WP7FG1_LAUNCH (with administrative rights to access USB)
3. Mindfully reads information text. Press “Next” button.
4. Reset your device and hold “Volume Down” button during reset to enter OSPL mode.
5. Connect your device to PC via USB cable.
6. Now you may need to install proper USB drivers. They come with Active Sync / Windows Mobile Device Center.
7. Install drivers if required.
8. Make sure device show “USB” at the bottom instead of “Serial”.
9. Press “Next” button in the wizard. It should detect your phone.
10. If you are using WCEUSBHS driver under Windows Vista/7 (for MTTY or MAGLDR TTY for example), you should apply “Windows XP compatible mode” in the properties of EXE file to get connection.

Now u are ready
you can find what custom rom you want i used dynamics v2.0 which can be found here and its fully unlocked aswell so all i all im pleased with it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520352
download it and install the same way we installed the 1.24 rom in the begining of this post
turn phone off hold down volume down and turn phone on you should go to the bootloader screen then plug in your usb cable to the pc,
then on the white line at the bottom on phone screen should say usb instead of serial
when it is ready open that file and click the RomUpdateUtility.exe and follow the steps in that and then you will have loaded your desired custom rom onto your phone
I hope this helps some of u out and happy modding
best regards
steve

hi u don't need to worry about mobile device center this never picked up my phone either until I installed the custom rom
Don't ask why I've no idea
So what's happening when you press volume down and power you are seeing the multicolored bootloader screen right?
If so I don't know why the rom won't install for you
Maybe I've heard your firmware is at .707 if so you need y cables and its harder to downgrade your sol
tell me the firmware version please and ill try help u its in settings then about then advance on your phone if I remember
Oh also do not extract the 1.24 from the .rar file run everything from there
This is why ur getting that error I think

you dont need to select a option just load ROMUpdateUtility.exe
ive just downlaoded and reinstalled the rom myself to try see what u mean and i dont get this option
when you go to bootloader screen on your phone and it says usb open the rom file and click ROMUpdateUtility.exe
now dont open active sync or mobile tools as it says on the program information
just click the tick boxes and continue through the process
maybe try download the rom again found this
ERROR [208] : FILE OPEN
ERROR [210] : FILE READ
These error messages indicate that RUU lacks certain important files and cannot continue with the update. Please get the complete RUU package again.
but like i sed i have downloaded the file myself and it is working for me without any problems

Thanks for the help.
My firmware is 2250.21.40600.61,hope I don't need y cables for this version..
I see the multi coloured screen, and once plugged in to my pc it says usb at the bottom..
Strangely the 1.24 rom update works sometimes and not others, can you remember when you do done it, did it tell you want version currently on? because it didn't for me, I pressed next until update screen and was on 0% for bout 6-7 mins, my phone also displayed the same, how long did it take roughly
As regards to the Dynamics rom update.exe ( I opened with no phone attached ) It says welcome to the advanced rom update utility for Htc Mozart below that are, two ruu options.. regular (this is default) and below is custom I was thinking or using logic that I don't think i have hehe.. that the custom would be the option? or leave it
I really appreciate your help on this, I have installed many custom rom on android,but this windows phone grr annoying but I wont give up.

lol np mate ill try help as best i can
right i understand your bit now about the dynamics rom u need to select regular on this part
custom i think would be if u want to edit it or some **** but i have no idea so u use regular mate because this is the actual rom file made but remember u must downgrade and load rspl and hspl onto your phone before doing this step
right my firmware is 2250.21.51301.401 but i dont know if this changes on installation of the downgrade and adding the custom rom like i sed im a complete noob with this myself but all went smoothly for me thats why i made the tutorial
and no mate my phone took about 5-10 mins to install the 1.24 orange rom
have u tried a hard reset first and then see if it helps with the installation
ill search around for your firmware and see if there has been issues
edit..........................................
did a search on the forums and your firmware comes up with nothing :/ did a google and only shows this thread did you type the numbers correctly?
also you mean that the rom update works sometimes and not others?
if it works once it should install it mate np's
When you load you phone into bootloader the multicoloured screen can you please type here what u see mainly the top letters and numbers

Hi there.
I have a standard, non-rooted phone which started to reboot last week. I can sometimes get as far as opening for example the SMS app before the phone hangs and eventually reboots.
The repair guy contact talked about some reinstallation being necessary and that they would charge for it.
Is this something I can do myself and can I do it from Linux? No risky, warranty-voiding stuff..
Thanks,
Morten

A good starting point would be to use the official Xperia update app.
1) Download the installation from their website, download all drivers for the phone
2) install both software and drivers on pc.
3) while phone is still not hung, enable debugging in developers options in settings ( to get these u need to hit the Build number info under: "Settings- About phone-Build Number" several times and it will enable Developer Options)
4) Connect your phone to the pc, and start the Xperia software
5) back up your apps, and data, images videos etc
6) look for software update / Repair
7) Let the application do Repair.
follow the instructions on screen and your phone software should be ok after the phone restarts.
then restore the back ups to phone.
Hope this helps.
