thanx but i am scared i loose my warranty i just spoke to the HTC agents in South Africa they are called leaf.
They said they are busy working on a upgrade to 1.5
Thank you for all your help

This should be in the Q&A forum, not the dev forum.

Just flash the update. If anything happens to your phone and you need to use the warrant. Just re-flash RC29 and do nothing from there. It should reset your phone to a point that they cannot tell that you've modded your phone. Have fun.

bricked G1 - need some help.

i . ll just start from the beginning. i installed a jesus freke ROM on my G1, i dont remember what version. i think it was 1.41 or something like that. (RC29 or RC33, idr). i downloaded an app or maybe it was an app that came with the ROM that let me know of jesus freke's updates. i hadnt checked it awhile as the G1 is not my primary device. when i checked for it last week, it showed an update and i attempted to install it. i completely forgot the procedure for updating a new image and im prretty i bricked it because it wont go past the android screen, even after waiting about 10-15 minutes, it still wont go past it. so my question is, can somebody please help me unbrick my G1? im in no hurry as im not using it on a daily basis, but id like to get this resolved as soon as possible so i can sell my G1. anyways, id appreciate it if someone could help. if so, can you give some detailed instructions as im not TOO familiar with android. i know a little about it, but too much.
thanks guys,
josh.

if you can access recovery mode, just go and reinstall other rom, i recommend cyanogenmod - user friendly and it got a complete guide on there website to install.

youll have to expand on that a little more, like i said, im not that familiar with android.. i dont have an SD card in there, and i suppose that might pose a problem trying to flash another ROM to it.. can you give me some links and some specific directions when you have a chance..? i'd greatly appreciate it.

This right here is why I say don't root if you don't know wtf you're doing. This always happens to people who should have just stayed away. Look:
Power phone completely off. Hold home key and power on. If you get to the recovery screen (the screen with a bunch of options, probably all written in green for you) then you're not bricked. All you need to do is put latest cyanogenmod on your sdcard, wipe your phone, and install it.

[Q] Emergency Firmware Recovery

Hello
I hope i have posted in the right section and someone can explain too me if this is right or wrong.
I just downloaded the 2.0 version of samsung kies software,when i plugged my phone in it said i could do a firmware upgrade for my phone.
So of course i did so,i first done the backup which was an option in the process.Then pressed ok and it started doing its thing.
Well i left it and came back too see a green android guy on the phone and a message on laptop saying the update had failed and i need too recover the fail by going into emergency firmware recovery mode.
I did this(pressed yes) and it started doing its thing again and rebooted the phone,after it had done it said too disconnect and reconnect my usb cable which i did and the phone was back running again.
The question i have is what basically just happened?
I presume it was a fail on the firmware update since thats what it told me but on checking my stats it had done what it said it was going too and thats upgrade from CSC: JP5 to CSC: JP6.
So it said it failed but on the samsung kies software it now says the csc JP6 and i cant update any firther.
Im sorry i should maybe of checked the code better too be honest i didnt check the full version upgrade, i just thought ok firmware upgrade yup ill do that and flicked through the yes options til the upgrade started.
Thanks for any replies.I have a untouched samsung galaxy S by the way,i not done anything too it except installed apps and games.So no roms,no lag fix,no hacks at all.

Its been a coupleof days now since my post so hope its ok too comment in it again so maybe i can get some help.
Im not sure if my first post explained itself enough so if anyone has any questions i will be happy too answer them.I dont know if my phone will be affected long term but the fail or not.
Csc..what is this why had the software felt it needed too be changed from 5 to 6 ?
the fact it said it failed yet on checking i cannot update again and it has in fact changed from 5 to 6 as it said it would.All my added shortcuts on home screens went but the files stayed.
csc....has anyone also got the changed firmware like i have and gone through the failure too get it.
Im trying too add my own questions in the hope someone has some answers since i see many questions get answered in this section within no time,but mine seems too of stumped some.
thanks for replies guys it will settle my mind and i will of course try too find my own answers and if all else fails i will contact samsung and ask them what went wrong.

Hi,
I installed Kies today and connected my girlfriends cellphone, a Samsung Champ Duos (don't know if it's a phone only for the Philippino market)... Same here, started up first time and Kies prompted me to update the phone's firmware. I followed the steps, something went wrong and I was told to perform an emergency recovery.
I tried, but after 63% an error message appear telling me that something went wrong and "if the problem persists please contact support centre".
I've tried the recovery process maybe 20 times now and same every time. I have already sent an email to the support, but hoping someone here knows how to fix this in the meantime.
Thanks in advance!

Not sure Kies can be unreliable...
Have you tried another computer?
Try the recovery again but hold the usb cable in place, it may have a loose connection
Either way support should answer you shortly and they will sort it out, as it should be under warranty and kies messed it up. They will probably tell you to find your nearest service centre...
@Caz2k11 if you ever read this again and still haven't got your answer, it shouldn't have affected you that there was a problem installing in the first place.
CSC - there is a sticky on the the general section that describes most of this stuff but in brief i think its either country specific code or country service code, something like that. Really its only important if you have problems downloading things from the market, or reception/data related issues. Usually carrier related... Its worth checking you have the correct one when you update as it saves you from changing it later which results in a factory reset.

Ahh damn it...
Got a reply from their support this morning. They apologized and told me I have to send the phone to my nearest service centre. Great for me living in the province and I'll bet the closest service centre is located in Manila....
Does anyone know if the *original rom* is available somewhere on the internet?

Most of us do not use kies to update
You can fiind the latest original ROMs at samfirmware.com

Hehe no ****
I'm running Andriod on my HTC Leo as well, but this is my girlsfriends phone, still warranty so I'll be a bit careful at the moment.
Have registered on the site mentioned above, not sure which file I'm going to use or anything, since I cannot start the phone to see the current firmware etc. The model no. is GT-E2652W and "SSN" is "E2652WGSMH", does that mean it's a E-series phone?

It means a few things ...
First of all, you are totaly at the wrong place since this forum section is for Samsung Galaxy S, and you Champ Duo , well, isn't a Galaxy S !
Second thing is that this forum, as well as samfirmware, deal mostly with Android phones, which your isn't, I believe. It does somehow look like, but isn't.
Sorry I can't help more

Yes, I'm awared of that. Found this thread when I Google-searched "samsung emergency recovery".

Sure, no arm done, it's just that non android phone have a different way to recover. I did a couple of googling too, but must admit I did not find a great deal of information either,
Sorry and best of luck for bringing your device back to happiness.

BIG Mess up after update

This morning I made an update via LG Pc Suite. The update was a large one but could not "see" what it was. My phone is rooted. After the update was finished I have lost root rights, lost the nvidia app, all pre installed games, I have rooted the phone again, tried to install rom manager and restore a back up made a week ago but also not working. The phone kept giving a failure notice when trying to run Titanium back up. I eventually did manage to manually install the last back up from recovery, but now phone is stauck on LG boot screen. Any help please. I think the only difference after the update this morning was the V10d instead of the V10c. thank you for your help.

Its in german but basically it says no more than things which are common sence to all devs but for a guy like me its like rocket sience. Its the smartflash procedure with a german rom.
The bad thing is that I have lost at least 6 hours of my life only to found this tiny little program that does wonders. Anyway I am really pissed off with LG because the rolled out an update (be careful out there with LG PC suite) which basically messed up my phone.
Cheers.

Well, 2 my experiments with official LG update ended up with "bricked" phone where only SmartFlash helped. I strongly discourage anyone from using it

This morning i tried searching for a new phone software update via LG PC suite and I got the notification that there is an update for the phone. Undortunately I cannot "see" what the hell this update is for. As I mentioned on the first post above, this is a rather large update. Does anyone know what this could be? Could it be a LGE Version (V10d)?

I have called LG customer service to ask them what this update is.. "If your phone is working properly you should not do the update" he said to me.... Sorry? Why do you release an update then?? "This is made automatically, the phone always finds updates"... so why didnt it find last week? "Well this may be a problem with your PC" What???? are you crazy? So you are telling me that when the 2.3 rolls out I shall not do the update becaue my phone works fine? "Yes Sir". I want to know what this update is... "This is the call centre sir, we do not know"...
Well If there is one reason to change the phone it would only be because of the customer service and their unreliability...

Customer service is everywhere the same,at least they picked up your phone
And yes, they dont have these informations usually, and getting them when responsible project does not issue any changelist is problematic. Its more like project management
issue , which should not be big suprise considering all the troubles...

I give up. I have called US (live chat). No help there. LG Swiss gave me their service centre office (another company).... nothing..
Well it must be a ghost update chasing me around.... hmmm root and ROM is the solution.

This morning I got an update message from the LG Updater that there is an update to download. This time it shows that the the New Version is V10D.. I am running on V10C.
Can anyone tell me please:
a) Should i update or not? The phone is rooted running stock rom
b) Does the "D" version imrpove something?
thank you

First off, thanks for the link..really appreaciate it. It work..my limping super soft brick 2x now can breathe again. Those german forum was not bad..a step by step instruction was given for newbie like me.
Owh btw, i say..no need to change to 10D as it is for german vodafone branded firmware while 10C for open firmware, that what it said in the link you gave us above.
Newbie on the block.

Tried updating to ICS through KIES. Update failed

Hello guys.
I really need some help. Im going away for 2 weeks on 4 June. And after i come back ill be ghone after 2 days again for 2 weeks and i need my phone!
My story:
I saw an update for my phone to ICS. So i plugged on my laptop and put the update on with KIES 2.1.3.
At about 64% the update didnt go ferther and it gave an error report.
The program KIES shut down, and my phone turned off.
I putted everything back on. But now my phone says this:
''Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in KIES & try again.''
KIES doesnt see my phone anymore. And the recovery mode i found on the internet.
Volume button up, home button+ power button doesnt work.
It keeps going to this screen.
My phone was 2.3.6 standard, non rooted etc etc.
How can i fix this fast?
I tried rooting and flashing, but i just cant do anything with my phone exept this screen i explained.
Thanks in advance.
Mitchell

Just download ODIN app for Windows, get right stock firmware from development thread ( Dr. Ketan's post ) and flash it with ODIN. It's as simple as clicking select file and start. Everything is described in the thread with firmware downloads.

Yes. Then there is hope. Now I recommend you to try flashing one of the stock roms from dr.ketans thread in development section.
Its not very complicated. But feel free to ask if you need more help.

I just cant explain how happy i am with this forum.
Brings so much luck into live
Thanks.
Ill see if i need more help. Hopefully not.

Is there any dutch ICS rom?
Or should i stick with a basic english?

I got exactly the same problem. Called T-Mobile's helpdesk. With everything I asked, the girl said, it's in the manual. Finally, the best she had to offer was for me to send my Note to Samsung.
So then I started looking for a solution myself and found it here.
Solved it with the said solution. Flashing with Odin is a piece of cake. Thanks for the expertise folks.

Good thing we can help. Wouldnt call myself an expert though

Well i searched for hours to. My sister had her S2 upgraded with KIES. That worked, but the ICS update itself was plain suck.
I fixed it thanks to XDA forum. Nothing found on the internet exept sending to help desk.
Same with what i got now.
But now it is fixed and im thankfull to the ones helping.
Now i am willing to try ICS without KIES.

Lol in kies you have recovery mode you missed an option
Good thing you got it fixed

Like i said, KIES didnt see my phone. Neither did windows.
So it wasnt an option.

Glad its fixed

BTW, after getting my Note up and running again, I used KIES again for updating to ICS and this time I had no problem at all.

For me this didnt work. KIES had an upgrade, but seems like it still doesnt do the job right.

Ran some tests. Now i am back at the issue.
Now Odin doesnt want to continue updating like KIES always does.
I wish i didnt do the tests...

W7 Ultimate N
And trying out different KIES versions.
Well at the 2nd update 2.3.6 to 4.0.3 it ran stuck again.
And now Odin doesnt do anything to aswell. Keeps saying ''Failure'' after some time.

Now ODIN is stuck at syaing ''BOOT'' above ID:COM.
How can i fix this?

Well seems like the Dutch roms aint working.
I did an European right now wich worked.
