I upgrade my i9000 with KIES to froyo.dxjpe and since this i cant use my internet trough wifi anymore :-(
I try all the tips what i found already: change to fix IP, reset my router, whipe the mobile, change the security on my router, try another router, try another wifi net and and and .... i think i run truogh all what i found ..... no way :-(
If i switch the wifi on, i get a connection, become a valid IP, can open the router page, can ping the mobile from the router but if i try to open any web page or market it says network problem ....
Anyone have any idea ????
No, i will not use odin or something else, im fare away from any worst case help :-(

since you will not use odin, why not just send back to warranty? doh.
I will not send it back, because it was working before very perfect, it is more or less full installed with all what I need and to send it back (here where I am) let me in the worst case 4 weeks without mobile ..... ;-(

A back up data and factory reset .
B update firmware again via Kies
C was your phone lagfixed or rooted or non standard rom on before upgrade .
D service centre your only choice if you do not want to go down other routes .
jje
A: I did already
B: Kies say im on the newest software (froyo.dxjpe)
C: nothing at all
D: ....... im affraid this is the last way .... its one day by car from me - one way .....
Thank you !!
[QUOTE=olsig;
B: Kies say im on the newest software (froyo.dxjpe)
Then it is the newest software that has been uploaded by the network supplier of your phone /
No reinstall/fix firmware on Kies ???
What i would do is delete any WiFi access points on the phone .
Set router with no security and no password .
Turn wifi on on phone and find router connect .
jje
I got a similar problem. At rebot if I first turn on the bluetooth the wi-fi wont work. If I first turn on the wi-fi, the bluetooth wont work. I am on Simply Honey 3.1.
What the hell do you have against using ODIN? Unless you have a power outage or rip the phone out too quick there won't be an issue. If you want to make it even safer use heimdall.

And lots of people already "bricked" their phone by using Odin/Heimdall, including myself (but had a jig luckily). Not blaming the software, it seems to be caused by the USB connection for most people (and I wasn't aware I should NOT use an USB hub as those stickies did not mention it). With Kies it should somewhat safer, never had any issues with it. And why not use it if it's installed already anyway and if he only wants to upgrade to the latest official firmware.
So in case he is just another-messed-up-my-phone guy after flashing he's stuck without help.
As recommended before, delete the wifi settings and set it up again on the phone, maybe that does the trick.
Also, check if you are able to browse a website by browsing its IP instead of its url. Almost sounds like a DNS problem but could be anything really.
KIES IS SAFER ????
how many times have we seen thread about bricked devices after OFFICIAL updates.
bricks caused by ODIN is down to user error !! not the porgram itself, people with no knowledge cause bricked phone.
There would be no point of an android phone if ODIN wasnt made, no custom ROMs, No 3 button fix, No kernel, No nothing. it would be like having an iPhone.
ODIN is 100% safe if you know what your doing.
'ODIN is 100% safe if you know what your doing'
I have used Odin to flash 3 button fix but tend not to use it because I know I dont really know what Im doing :-D
last but not least the service center somehow.
I have the same reason to leave my fingers away from ODIN or Heimdal .... its maybe easy if you know what you do ... i dont know it .... then its maybe not so easy :-( And if i see here how many story's about bricked mobiles .... its better i dont do it. What i said the next service center is one day by car from here ... :-(
But thanks for all ideas !!!
It makes me only sad to go the official way with KIES and then come in trouble like this .... All was working perfect before. The only change was this KIES update ...
There's one thing that doesn't involve Odin but might help:
- get root priviledges on your phone (read about this if you're not familiar with it's effects on your device)
- download SpoofFW from market (lets your phone lie to Kies that it's still 2.1)
- re-apply update via Kies
Thanks myrddral !
I will check out how too root it and try your idea .... I will post my experiences .... Lets hope the best
Hi myrddral,
I root my mobile now with SuperOneClick - i download the app SpoofFW but it says dont use it if the three button function is not working on your mobile .... its not working with my :-(( im a little bit scared now ..... Do u think its okay to try it ????
Have you ever check back your APNs after that? Cause sometime after flashing the new FW it will mess up a little bit your APNs. Check it with your line provider to make sure they match!
Yes everything is still and always working before and after the last update. except the wifi not more :-(
Gm, isn't flashing your phone through odin, heimdall or whatever could be dangerous only if you are flashing the bootloader? If you have the normal 3-button recovery, I mean.
I dont have the three button recovery .... but it seems a "living" mystery ....i just try my wifi again, OPERA and Market say still no connection or network error but i receive e-mails by wifi .... ?!?!?!?! I send my self a mail in google mail by laptop it arrive on the mobile and i answer it on the mobile and i can see it in the laptop too ..... ?!?!?!

Hi guys,
I get a "crypto error" when trying to update to Froyo on the latest version of Kies. While downloading the firmware on to Kies it suddenly stops and says "crypto error".
Can someone please help me with this?
hi, same here... but I tried for the second time (the whole updating process) and it worked
I have the same problem too and no luck after trying for 2 times so far.
Can anyone helps us with this; I've been waiting this upgrade since I bought the phone several months ago
has anyone else been able to upgrade successfully after receiving a "crypto error".
Is there anything u did when you tried ur second attempt?
crypto error
hii i faced crypto error, but i did it 2nd time successfully. So try again..it works
I have the same error and i tried more then 20 times it didnt work.
i hope if there's someone who can help us =/
Error
Same here , it's starting to get annoying
The problem seems only for UAE users lol
its server problem not the phone maybe we are far away to much? lol
my proxy program is not working to test if i can do that cuz my ISB will be changed to another world lol. can someone of you guys try to use a proxy and give it a shot?
im doing my best with kies i even added some DNS to test but it didnt work
i just dont want to use odin kies is better -.-

I am going to try the hotspot shield later today. Can anyone else try it and let me know if it worked for them. I read on some other forums that if you turn off your anti-virus and firewall it has worked for some people.

crypto errors - samsung server
I've tried to update about 50 times over the last week. It finally worked.
It's Samsung server probems. When you start downloading via Kies, the download breaks but it does not stop the installation programme. When it tries to decompress and decrypt the damaged files you get the CryptoError.
Finally it worked for me today. There is only one solution to this at the moment - keep updating till you drop dead or manage to do it.
Kies is a joke!
updated finally
Updated finally to froyo. I think it was something wrong with the samsung server. In a day I used to try least 5 times. Phew! I think you guys must try it. Maybe they fixed it now. The update is really good. There are some UI changes but minor. Best of luck.
@imad604 Many users are not able to use hotspot in UAE. Try updating to froyo now i think it's fixed.
Hey there, i am feeling somewhat overwhelmed with all of the advice going on out there and need someone who can give me the answer to my specific problem hardware wise without breaking a sweat...
I flashed a froyo 2.2 rom onto my phone a while ago, recently all of my apps stopped working, and i could no longer install any apps.
Couple days ago i tried openning gmail and the screen went black and gave me the bzzzzzz...............................bzzz...bzzz...
vibrating error that you usually get when an app crashes.
Now the phone continues doing that even when booted up and stuff
It starts right after the S screen and repeats until the battery is removed.
My phone can't get into download or reset mode using the 3 button method so i bought a jig off of ebay, works like a charm.
however NOW, i cannot get the computer to see the phone; both when it is on and attached and in download mode and attached. Odin can't see it, neither can Kies.
If i can get either to see it, i can look up the flashing process to make sure everything is right.... but as of yet nothing i am doing is making a difference.
Thanks for any help
Ok, I'd focus on odin so disable Kies (in task manager processes - all the kies processes).
Then I would 1) reinstall the drivers (standalone ones) 2) Have a few versions of odin to try (like 1.3, 1.7 and ez odin) 3) Clean your usb port on the phone (and computer maybe too - whats the harm?).
Usually if you are sure the drivers are Ok then you should be able to odin working with a nice clean port. They are more sensitive to dirt/moisture or whatever than they should be.
Try that and let us know...
BTW Some people think that the order is important but I've never noticed that. I always have odin open and then connect it but cant hurt to try the other way around too.
Hey thanks alot,
I am at work right now but i am optimistic about trying that out lol.
Just so i know for when the time comes and if Odin works, what files do i need to flash it? .pit, .tar and anything else specific for Bell Canada?
I only ask because you are with Bell so it is probably a very simple answer for you. Otherwise I am sure i can find it elsewhere.
Thanks,
I'll keep you updated

Download the complete jl2 rom from link I posted yesterday (search my posts) with repartition ticked, then flash the kc1 rom from stock rom link on xda or at samfirmware.com and flash without repartition if you want the latest. You could just try the kc1 step but I you need to repartition.

Hey man,
my phone has never been sent in for repairs or replaced...
I was reading one of your other posts and you advised another member to send it in and maybe they will replace/update hardware?
I have still had my phone for less than a year so sending it in will be no problem at all...
Should i flash to the latest myself or return to stock and send it in?
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks
Well he knows his is broken as he can see that his internal memory reads 0 (which means its cooked - ask me how I know...) and he was trying to fix it in a round about way. Or there was the guy who flashed a captivate rom - that was just a big no-no.
You might just have a corrupt partition or some other corruption in the file system. I seem to get that all the time and its a pain but very fixable .
Alright, sooo
-uninstall Kies
-install drivers only
-try to connect to Odin
-If succesful flash with Odin
-dance with joy
Got it, I will update you later when i get home.
Thanks
installed drivers on my work computer (32 bit windows xp) and nothing... I've tried phone off, phone on, phone in d/l mode... It doesn't pick up anything...
I can try it on my Windows 7 comp at home and see if that works but i'm wondering what the worst case scenario is just bringing into Bell and having them fix it... Am i looking at charges, warranty voiding, etc.. etc... to have it fixed or could i BS my way out of it?
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
pretty sure i flashed the wrong firmware on my phone, when it boots up it says GT-I9000 not GT-I9000M.
It worked fine for like 6 months so i never questioned it... damn damn damn
Not to be completely devious but i got an extended warranty that replaces the phone due to water damage, theft, etc. etc...
If there is no other way should i take advantage of that?
I would hate to jump to one of those actions but i am somewhat panicking becuase i made a super-noob mistake and effed up my phone....
I9000 firmware is completely compatible. The text you see is from the kernel which are always for i9000 unless you have one of the three bell firmwares. So that's not the issue.

I would keep trying. I have gotten warranty before and I was in the same predicament as you almost except I knew that the internal memory was dead. But that was also around the time when most of the I9000M models were dying. They might be checking more now.
If you get odin to flash a stock rom then you can go for it but by then you should be able to fix it.

Alright i will keep trying.
As far as the firmware goes, my gf and i both have the same phone, but she kept heres official and i put custom roms on mine (just the 2.2 because it wasn't available)
We are both on bell canada so i asked her to boot up her phone and the beginning message on hers says GT-I9000M so it freaked me out lol
I will try on my home computer,
keep your fingers crossed for me
Alright, so Odin can now see my phone (it was the damn cord, my Win 7 comp couldnt see it but my xp work laptop can)
Which firmware would you recomend flashing? Stock gingerbread or a slight variation?
I am at work right now so i can wait a bit for a good response. It'd really help me out if you could provide links and tips to the best firmware out right now (i have no problem flashing a custom ROM if it is good).
Thanks alot,

Succesfully Flashes Gingerbread 2.3.4
Thanks for all your help!!!
how did you manage to see it in odin?
i have te same problem with restarting just after first screen (after flashing to gingerbread) but i cant see it in odin so i cant flash it again?
when i connect it when turned off, a small icon appears with usb connected sound but its still not visible.
Is it maybe my win7?
help, anyone please
Did you start in Download mod? Did you kill the Kies processes in you Win7 task manager ?
If yes, sometimes Windows takes time to install the drivers (be sure ton be connected to the internet), you should also close and relaunch Odin.
i launched download mode with sdk, and now i cant start it.
i went to another pc with xp. it installs drivers but odin cant recognize it.
Well i did it on my work XP computer becuase WIN 7 wasn't recognizing it. But it turns out the whole time the cable i was using would connect to charge, but not act as a pc connection.
ok first off I have searched and have yet to find a sollution. So if there is one please flame me and point me to it.
Problem : I have 2 computers, both win 7 x64 pro. my desktop does not detect any cell phone, my friends droid 1 or my samsung captivate..... Both have all the drivers installed. That is a small problem because i have a laptop that does ( DID)
Big problem : phone having problems, me flash captivate and flash fail ( i think i used odin 2.2 flasher which for some reason doesnt want to work, i tryed it a few times before... but anyways so I'm in download mode and now the computer wont detect my phone, just like my desktop, I get the UNKNOWN USB device or the usb device did not install correctly blah blah blah malfunction... SO now I'm able to get into DL mode but thats it.... so where is the fix for this? Please help . its so strange that no changes were made and it goes from having worked for months to not working at all suddenly...
Again neither odin v 2.1 or v 2.2 ( as in froyo and eclar) will detect phone nor will the hemdol program or what evs.... so i can not boot past download mode. Please help .
the answers are out there... itll just take a bit of reading... however sounds like there are program incompatibilities somewhere not allowing your drivers to install especially after you said drivers did not install blah blah. Also try changing usb ports when you plug it in and go through and check to make sure all you usb drivers and ports are functioning properly. Furthermore check to ensure your charging port isnt loose and or pins bent or broken same with your cable.
try this as well... says right click and run odin in admin etc.

What rom are you on? CM7 MIUI?
Well huge problem... for some reason the phone wont charge now so now i cant even get in DL mode and before that i couldnt for the life of me no matter what i read find a fix for the USB issue. idk what the **** it is but its really annoying.... I was using OFFICAL 2.2 and was trying to reflash it and try it again or flash 2.1 because i was getting random restarts. then the flash failed for some reason first time ever I think ( i seriously have flashed about a dozen times since ive had my phone over 9 months, So i know alot and have read alot, have a jig and all that jazz) so i know what im doing... I just got my phone back from samsung about a month ago they fixed a random button pressing problem, and now the turning off on a Stock rom ( plus firefly prior, why i went back to stock) made me paranoid, plus i use it as a clock for work so i cant have it turn off randomly at all. So what am I to do? I possibly can use my friends battery for a bit or my womans... but im thinking maybe this has less to do with computer now and possibly that my phone fried or something that i should send it in to samsung for warranty repair...since obviously if it was restarting on a new 2.2 instalation obviously there were probably some problems...
I read a similar story of this randomly happening to another experienced user on google, and he sent it in to samsung and they just sent him a new phone... my AT&T warrianty is long gone on my refurb but i still got 3 months left with samsung... idk why it isnt even charging on wall outlet or computer...
what to do?
Did the phone go "dead" after a failed firmware flash? Or it literally just all of a sudden won't charge? If it was truly random then it's a hardware problem all the way and most likely an issue with the USB port or a trace routed through it. Only 2 lines control charging and the Captivate is notorious for a pretty solid port from my findings.
Well I left my phone in the wall for hours and I guess it does charge so its not completely dead. Now just the issue of reflashing stock on there... so getting the USB to work in my computer. I take it the USB in the phone isnt dead or the JIG wouldnt work... I just want to know if the Random shut off is hardware related or a bad flash / rom? Anyone know what has less problems? 2.1 or 2.2? I dont think my keyboard is in 2.1 so i dont think i could take it... but i just want a working phone with my gingerbread keyboard <3 I just dont want it to turn off on me...
and now randomly odin's will still not detect, but heimdol will, but it fails about 18% into factoryrfs or what evs. And Yes I have used it before and yes I am following all directions. WTF this is blowing my mind... and yes repartition is selected
Are you using an OEM Samsung Cable? Don't use knock off cable for anything more than charging...
just fyi if u rooted ur phone and samsung checks the programing to find out and trouble shoot it will void your warranty and youll have to pay for it... so um maybe try spending the 50 and go with a refurb thru insurance.
Yes I'm using stock cable...
ANd its not rooted, its not ANYTHING since there is no OS on the phone so no way to see anything to void anything...
now most things ( on different computers) will detect the phone and all odin and heimdol but they will both fail at the beginning of any flash... Its like nothing can be pushed through the phone.... ?

It doesn't necessarily screw with it. Heimdall installs a custom WinLIB USB driver to operate with Samsung Composite USB devices. This driver is used for Samsung Download mode which ODIN doesn't recognize. To switch back to using ODIN, you just need to go into device manager and uninstall the device and be sure to DELETE DRIVER FOR THE DEVICE. Then just plug the phone back in when in DL mode and the Samsung driver will be re-installed. However, this is really beginning to sound more like a hardware problem. I emailed you back and would be happy to put a final diagnosis or repair on the devil phone.
hey guys i have a captivate that i tried flashing and was successful then i tried again and the screen went black. im not sure if my battery died during the process or what but idk what to do. I cant get into recovery mode, i can only get into downloading mode but none of the odin's ive downloaded have recognized my device today. they worked fine yesterday. then i tried "hemidall one click" to try and get it back to stock but no luck. also when i try to power on I get the "Cornkernel" loading screen since that was the kernel i had loaded when it was working, but it fills the bar then shuts off. so it seems like im going to be at the mercy of a computer program since i am unable to access anything on the phone, right? I recently upgraded to gingerbread before all of the flashing of the new roms. all i want is to get back to either froyo or gingerbread, i dont really care, heck ill even take 2.1 at this point. if anyone knows whats going on and can help me thatd be great.
Thanks
Remember to use a rear usb hub for destop and run as admin. Heimdall will mess up your odin drivers.
You may also want to check out the captivate connection issues thread.
Also, to clarify further on prbassplayer's point about Heimdall, it will write its drivers over the drivers assigned to the USB port you are plugged into when it detects your phone. So if you have 4 USB ports and you use port 3 for Heimdall, it would look like this:
1 - Odin port
2 - Odin port
3 - Heimdall port
4 - Odin port
All this means is that you'll need to be aware of the port you used with Heimdall, or just reinstall the odin drivers (they'll overwrite the Heimdall setup).
OK so i tried what you mentioned in that thread on the connection issue and unfortunately it didn't work. is there a way i could start fresh? like delete all the drivers from my computer and then try it again, or do u not think that would work? im open to any ideas/suggestions right now because i hate having an extra paperweight and the thought of buying a new phone.
Don't know if this'll help or even why it worked for me but, when I had problems with odin recognizing my phone, I reinstalled/repaired samsung kies and odin would work for at least one flash.
Note: used full odin (not oneclick)
Good luck
hey guys thanks a bunch i finally got it to work. i had to use a different computer like you said. What a great feeling to have a functional phone again..
Thanks Again!!
So i got the phone back up and running android 2.1 and I would like to get it back to the stock 2.3 I had before the whole mess of rooting and stuff. but when i try to upgrade with kies or straight on the phone it ends up failing and telling me to try it again. any ideas why this is happening? or how to fix it.

Kies sucks lol
look at my sig the first "go to" has the One Click Odin file to get you to stock and rooted 2.3 ...should take no more then 5 mins to do it
the link on that page for the 1 click odin doesnt work.
Try looking >>HERE<<. There are more one clicks there than you will ever need (hopefully)
Thanks I think I might try one of those. But considering what happened earlier in the week i want to clarify/ask a few ?s about that page. How do I know which Gingerbread to use of the 3 listed? How do I know whether or not to click the one with or without the bootloader? I'm new at this with android but I used to flash roms on my old windows mobile htc TILT.

if you have never flashed GB bootloaders, you need to. Just oonce will work from that time forward. After you flash bootloaders, it's best to avoid them. A bad bootloader flash is one of the few things that will turn a Captivate into a paperwight. About which GB to use, I would say KK4. Its the same as the Official KK4 that was released. So to recap, flash bootloaders only once, then use no bootloader packages after that.
Im not sure if I unlocked them or not honestly. I know i had the phone rooted at one point and was running Cerberus rom. is there any way for me to check?
If you don't know, flash them.
ok i apologize in advance if this is a stupid obvious question..i got the odin one click and i was looking at the page u referred to me to and im wondering what the kernel is for? you cant place it in the odin one click obviously so is that just to keep things together or do i actually need it?
The kernel links are just to use if you want to root the stock rom. You have to use full Odin for those. Stick with the one click until you feel more comfortable in flashing AND do a lot research before your next flash.
so i got the KK1 gingerbread working and everything seems to work fine but now my data doesnt work. So I cant get ATT 3g or edge or anything the only internet i recieve is wifi. anyone know why this is? or how to fix it. ive tried a reboot and nothing ive tried changing the settings under network settings.
Hello there,
I just bought a galaxy note <well a week ago> and now i ended up soft bricking it.
here's how i did it -
I went to my friends place thinking of rooting my phone while he told me to add a custom rom to it . well since he was experienced i let him do it . he added a firmware of i9200(chinese ). well it worked now i found some chinese system applications that i didn't need and while searching on net how to do it i found a firmware of n7000 ics online and decided to flash it in. since i was at home i thought i would be able to do it myself and did what i shouldn't have done. i followed every step they said online and started the downloading of the rom but unfortunately when pc odin was at it's end i mean the end of downloading i actually disconnected the cable ( what the f*** was i thinking) . now i tried to reinstall the same rom but couldn't - pc odin always showed setting up connection or something like this and then stalled for hours ... i thought of flashing some other rom but it didn't - same thing <stalling for hours> . Now what should i do??? help me - maybe i can go to samsung customer care service and ask them to reset my phone but since the usb debugging was on last time when i turned my phone off , kies might not do the job . can u suggest me a way.
one more thing i can't flash stock rom into it and <i am dumb> i didn't backed up my stock rom.
p.s. my flash count is 2 . i can't load my phone into recovery mode but can into download mode and can't do it with a jig (am from india plus i am a little low on technical know how).
i can't hard reset it either. a suitable help would be appreciated ,pls

I have no experience with this, but I did keep this video link on how to put a bricked Samsung into download mode just in case I needed it. The usb jig is the same for both the captivate and the Note from what I have read:
http://androidforums.com/captivate-...ung-captivate-usb-jig-video-start-finish.html
If you are able to enter download mode then Just try with different version of PC Odin , like V1.83, V1.85, V1.87. and do not worry about Stock ROM you can always download it from below link.

thankyou guys but i can't use jig since i can't buy it nor am i capable of making one.
Rajan , bro my problem is something different. the roms i am trying to insert in my phone was via the odin i used earlier to flash my first rom. and it went successfully . but last time the second rom i inserted was interrupted during download and am not able to add anymore of them. now i have talked to samsung care and they told me to bring my phone along with the bill maybe they can do it. even though my warranty is done for, but i think i can believe them . yet if there are any other suggestions pls tell me or should i give it to samsung care. I really don't wanna keep my phone rooted so i have no problem flashing stock but it's not happening. CAN KIES HELP?
p.s i have used all 1.85 , 1.87 and 1.83 version no use.

I fear your Note is done for, if your PC Odin session got interrupted.

Dont take it service centre.If you do so also dont say them you flashed custom rom.Then they wont fix it under warranty.Dont worry now.
Try different usb ports,uninstalling drivers and reinstalling it and try again.And as you are noob I recommend not to flash ICS customs at the moment.Stay with GB
I say go to your friend first who rooted your phone then ask him to try the various methods given in the forum recovering from softbrick.
i have read in some other websites that i will need a pit file to restore my phone + the rom file while checking repartition and auto time fe: reset in odin 1.83 then maybe i will be able to return back to gb . do u think this is ok for me to do .
p.s i live in chandigarh while my friend has moved to gurgaon so no chance to go to his place. and i have talked to customer care and told them everything. they told me to take the phone to service centre and they will help me.
now tell me what are my options!?

wait . what? what is this red pill and all .. i think you can save me but i would liike you to brief me about the procedure plus i read this - i need a (wipe) rom to be able to reflash my rom or something like this .
p.s i am still downloading my firmware ...
but would be better if i get the info i need before hand!
dude.. don't panic... I don't think ur phone is dead... best is to buy a jig... try on eBay... I got it for 200rs in eBay... I don't think that's a big deal for any one with a note .. I bought it even before experimenting because I thought some thing like this might happen....
its safest way to remove the triangle and get into recovery mode... as somebody else suggested flashing red pill also works ... search in development section for abyss kernel... ull find it...

its a kernel with a custom recovery.Its like CWM(Clock Work Mod).You could find it in the development section.Download the kernel.Could you get into recovery mode by turning off the phone,holding "vol up+home button+powerbutton"?

wenn connecting to Kies at firmware Kies says something like LC1. lb2 (XXX) as product code? if so they have changed the board on the service center and they haven't activate the Pcode on your phone google "Pcode not active" you will find few posts till now only ppl from Germany had it who send their phones to service center via Saturn/Media Markt ist guess it was/is a technician you was sleeping on the seminare/briefing how to change the board on Note. hope it will help you if it is that try to replace your phone, had the XXX Pcode after service center got a replacement. after a month of arguing with the salesman.

Uninstall the Odin in your PC and install it again to see if it works.
i am pretty much sure that they didn't change the mother board. they must have added the firmware that's all as my mboard wasn't damaged at all , it was just that the battery failed when i gave it to samsung people that's why my phone overheated when they charged it and that's when the battery must have been destroyed maybe due to that overheating they must have thought to change mboard (but they didn't cause those engineers must have changed the battery prior to examining my phone for the problem). AND i didn't have pc odin on my THIS pc to start with. it was in my laptop and kies didn't even reckoned my phone there well that's why i installed kies on HERE . i guess service center people can update it the same way they installed this firmware here..... what do u suggest?
AND Braxos Pcode is active --- it's something :
GT-N7000ZBAINU
and no, the current firmware info kies shows is something like ---
N7000DDLC1/N7000ODDLC1/N7000DDLC1/N7000DDLC1(INU)
(now i think they have done something wrong - it's all n7000ddlc1 here. what is this? )
GUYS can u also tell me what does your firmware version shows (just for reference , pls do it!)
p.s my phone is still in warranty since they fixed my phone free of cost plus they also replaced the battery for free . before my phone was sent to service center my phone had a flash count of two yet they fixed it under warranty(yay!).And thank you everyone!
MY ADVICE TO NEWBIES----
If your phone is soft bricked and you don't know what to do and you think you will make the matter even worse then don't do anything to permanently brick it . you guys should go to service center , they might even fix it for u for free just like they did it for me!
