Hi all.
My wife hqs a I9003. She was running rooted stock 2.2.1 KB1FW on it. Everything was fine untill about 4 days ago. Thay's when without reason the whole Android system started to fail. Clock, Maps, Messaging, TW Launcher, etc all gave error and forced closed. She only had about 10 or 15 apps installed and all on phone memory. So I did a Factory Restore thinkg it would help but it was all still the same.
So I flashed KPE (all 4 files) and a new error started: after 1 or 2 after the factory restore on new FW, phone crashes and goes in to a boot loop (Samsung logo and intro screen). Once I manage to get back to Android, it's reset to factory settings (install wizzard). I've flashed KPH, KB1, KB3 etc and it's the same problem all the time. Was flashing the APBOOT file from KPE a mistake?? How can I fix this?? I don't have a backup and even if I did, I can enter download mode but not restore mode (Vol Up + Home + Power).
Please, I need help urgently
Thanks

Before this all started did she install some unknown kinda software/app from the market?
Also while flashing did you use Latona.pit file?

Nope. Thay's the weird thing. On mine, I'm constantly installing/deleting from the market, blackmarket and other sources and have no problems. All the apps she had, I installed myself and were all "safe".
As far as the pit file, I used it first joint with the other 4 files (like I did for my I9000) and after I used it on it's own. I've tried first the pit file, then the FW files, just the FW files and the pit + FW files with and without re-partition checked... I'm running out of ideas and getting desperate...

Sounds to me like the phone has developed a hardware fault.
Things do just up and die sometimes..
Could it be the battery??? She hasn't dropped or banged it at all. Mine had a slight swim.and is still perfect. If I flash it back to a European KB1, would the warranty still cover me??

Try to do the following:
Select only latona (.pit) and repartition in odin. Put the phone in download mode and flash.
Next reset all. Select pda, modem, csc file from XXKB3 firmware. Dont choose repartition and flash.
hope it works

Tell me teh method what you followed to flash? Like first, the pit file with re-partion,auto-reboot and F.reset time checked. And, then, the other 4 file of the SAME Fw with the auto-reset unchecked. Also, Did you click on the reset button after flashing the pit file?

Had done that before but just did it again. So far it has crashed once but didn't revert back to factory default this time and I now have the recovery mode again.

I've done it various ways as I explained in the first post. With and without re-partition, with and without the pit file, etc.
But I had a minor brainwave this morning after the first crash on XXKB3. The microSD she had in her phone was an 8GB she got with her old Xperia. It was used under Symbian and when I put it in her Galaxy, I think I had formatted it with the PC but not with the phone. Can't remember (she has it since May). In any case, she didn't have apps stored on the SD but she did have all wallpapers, photos, music, ringtones, etc. I've now removed the SD and see how it goes. Just thinking that maybe the SD is f****d and could be creating a shortcut or inestability with the phone... Worth a try as I'm all out of ideas.
Thatnks to everyone for the help you're providing me with this issue. I suppose it's weird that after flashing many different ROMs the problem persists and is still the same. If all else fails and I re-flash the XXKB1, do yo guys think Samsung will take responasability for the problem?? I have it unlocked with the app thats on the market, but AFAIK I have the EFS folder backup stored somewhere.
Well phone still switching off with the XXKB3 FW. It's only switching off now tho... No boot loop. And at least now I know it's not the SD at fault. I'll try re-flashing XXKB3 tomorrow as I only flashed it once today. Then I'll do a factory format and reset battery stats once I flash the CWM. If after that it's still the same, I gues I'll have to restore the EFS folder, flash the XXKB1 FW and send it off to Samsung and hope for the best... Unless anyone has any other idea I can try???

No. Anything that is done using Odin voids your warranty so when visiting service centre just flash to the firmware that your phone came out of the box then tell the service centre staff the phone just went crazy or anything like that just dont talk about Odin to them. And try this out.
1. Download an app called Rom manager from the market.
2. Make sure you are rooted.
3. Go into rom manager and hit fix permissions.
4. Reboot.
That should do it. Or else its the service centre.

But if you dont come from russia which the csc says ser which is russia then they will know its definite you used Odin as there is no other ways you could get to a firmware of another region where you don't even come from using Kies unless you hacked Kies which also voids the warranty.

Then the warranty will be voided didnt you see they said warranty will be voided if not bought within the country or something like that.??
Sent from my GT-I9003
That is complex! In, India, You just go into the service center and tell him your problem! He will check the FW version and tell that you void warranty. Just SHOUT at him and tell him you are a developer ..VOILA! He will service it! He will take a hell lot of time for a small problem though!
And if I'm willing to pay for the repair?? Or maybe load a europe CSC file on it... Had a bit of a bright idea today: switch batteries. She's using my I9000's battery at the moment. Let's see if it doesn't turn off. My I9000 fell yesterday, had a rubber cover on it so the bang wasn't bad BUT my loud speaker has blown out seems easy enough to replace and I do laptop repairs so shouldn't be too much hastle to sort it myself. But so much for the Galaxy S being the iPhone 4 killer... Sem to be quite delicate phones...
Bit of off topic: anyone know anything about the Galaxy S 3??? If and when it's coming out and some type of details.. Galaxy S 2 was a big failure with more problems than the one I have according to what I've read on the internet...

1) Galaxy S3 will be launched once Nexus Prime is out (also being made out by Samsung)
2) Nexus Prime will be released some time in October so S3 will probably be released late October or sometime in November (more or less - to compete with iPhone5)
3) Galaxy S2 is one of the hottest selling item in the WORLD right now - i guess you have read some biased reports about its performance issues.
Just thought I'd give you all a quick update on what's happened with my wife's I9003.
After trying everything possible to fix it via flashing, the whole internal memory collapsed. It wasn't even able to finish installing the last firmware I flashed on it.
I took it to the shop, told them what happened and the sent it off to the technical repair service. That was on the 5th of this month.
Got it back today fully working!!!
They changed the main board as a faulty part, so even though it was unlocked with no EFS backup and was flashed numerous times, the guarantee took care of the repair
Tomorrow I'll root it and install ROM Manager and do a backup of the firmware before I flash it to Gingerbread, as they've returned it with Froyo and carrier boot screen. And this time I'll keep a backup of the EFS folder too LOL
I wonder is there anyway to force a main board to break via software, would be interesting for those that have voided their warranty by unlocking or flashing, if the board is broke, any changes become untraceable.
While I'm here, just a quick question: When I do the backup via ROM Manager, will it backup only the PHONE part of the firmware or will the MODEM & CSC be included too?? If it's only the PHONE file, how can I backup the others???
Thanks to all of you that responded to my original post and tried to help me with the phone.

I've run the LSA firmware with little to no issues for a while now, but recently my phones decided to run hot and reboot itself with increasing frequency.
so I'de like to revert back to stock ICS and see if that helps or if I'm looking at a hardware failure.
is there any particular trick to this or can I just backup using Ti, load the new (old) ICS firmware in Odin and flash away?
thanks for any advice guys...
How old is your phone? Make sure your battery is good condition, before proceeding anything.

the battery is a Gold higher capacity model, there is no bulges or tears and the heat isnt coming from that, I pulled it to check. the glass side is the hottest side.
Good. My suggestion is, go through drketan threads / tutorials which are comprehensive on your problem.

on the problem or my intended solution?
I've started uninstalling apps because the thing reboots during backup.
every-time i uninstall an app it reboots as well.
If you want to go back to ics, backup whatever you want using tb.
Then boot into recovery. Format/system, data, cache, preload.
Then go to advanced and choose reboot download. Then connect to pc and flash using odin. Make sure not to wipe while on stock ics kernel. Install a safe kernel ASAP.

copied the N7000XXLRT_N7000DBTLRT_N7000XXLRK_HOME.tar.md5 file to micro SD
flashed N7000XXLRT_N7000DBTLRT_N7000XXLRK_HOME.tar.md5 u sing mobile odin pro
done.
Hey guys, little bit of a problem, hope you have some ideas.
Basically, My phone has decided it wont be charging anymore, the battery charges fine in my wifes N7000, used 3/4 different charges, all work fine with hers, none which work with mine, looking inside the charging port, it appears to a little burned, theres an area which is quite black inside the port.
So, the phone is rooted and running a lightweight LSZ leak, its not returnable to samsung (and likely, my insurer) in this condition, problem is, if the phone isnt connect via USB, I wont be able to flash an official firmware via ODIN to remove the rootage.
Is it possible for me to perhaps flash an older firmware through CMW and then try and update OTA to remove root, or, am i destined to charge my battery from my missus' phone from now on?
Many thanks!
if you rooted why not use mobile odin to flash a stock firmware..

Edit: also read thoroughly as you already have the link there are few things you would require to install for the lite version.
Under default settings of mobile odin, it will remove root. But before you go about uprooting, make sure your counter is set to 0. If no then you will need to use triangle away app and it will need root access.

Thanks guys, I already run the triangle remover when i first rooted my phone and the counter is still at 0, plus i am rooted. i notice in the instructions there is some flash kernels, will I need to flash this first via CWM before using mobile odin or will Philz kernel be fine for me?

It is an apk file.
I think for the lite version you will need to download the odin flash kernel first. Just follow the instructions. The paid version automatically downloads it.
Thanks again guys, one final question then, if you was returning your note to the Samsung centre would you use the kies GB, ICS or JB official ROM? Considering making it the JB, what do you think?

Try to flash android 4.1.2 using CWM, no results same problem, what i still can do?
Sorry, I might have missed the part about Odin not recognising it.. Anyway, are you sure you installed the correct Samsung drivers? Try another PC and install the drivers and give Odin another shot. Also, try using another USB cable, it might help.

try charging battery outside of phone (like external charger). use mobile odin to flash stock rom.
edit: or just borrow if someone you know has same phone.
Used to have problem of odin not recognizing my phone. Then I switched to xp from windows 7 with same driver installed, no issue.
So could be driver issue if you're using windows 7.

^that. Since you're already rooted, get Mobile Odin from the Play Store and try and flash the stock ROM with it.

Well, since you have a stock ROM now, I guess you could try and take the phone to the retailer (or service center) and have them check the USB port.. It could be a battery problem too. My phone was doing weird stuff when I was using an unbranded battery (it didn't want to recharge and it kept making connected/disconnected sound even though I was nowhere near the charger).

I had problems installing the Slim-n7000-4.3.build.1-OFFICIAL-874.
Installed from the 4.1.2 stock.
Once connected, the N7000 did not carry the battery.
Tested various cables and chargers, even doing full wipe again the problem continued.
Had tested the Slim-n7000-4.3.beta.4-WEEKLY-424 and this problem did not occur.
The only solution was charging the N7000 with it off and go back to stock rom.
I had no problems with the Slim-n7000-4.2.2.build.7-OFFICIAL, Slim-n7000-4.2.2.build.8-OFFICIAL.

Can't send it back like this if i don't expect to pay for it. PLZ HELP ME
Okk meaning your custom rom have problem on the usb side. So I will suggest try diffrent rom diffrent rom and see if that works , then you can rool back to stock by downloading a stock firmware and flashing it with odin. However check to see if your have enabled usb debugging that you phone will be recognised by the pc.

Without a computer you will not be able to go back to any firmware which requires odin and download mode..
(like the stock official firmware for example)
