my phone has been frozen at the samsung i9000 screen ever since opening this app.... i am very new to this do not understand most concepts here.. ie. flashing a rom. If anyone can help me get my phone out of this state or has any suggestions on how i should fix this please comment.
if you can get into recovery mode try flasing another rom via cwm or flash it using odin and download mode (flashing non wipe roms via cwm might leave your apps and data intact)
What is the full name of the app? How did you try using it? Do you know what firmware version your phone is on?
First thing to try is turn off, remove battery sim and any microSD. leave five minutes and put all back in and turn on.

the app is galaxy s tweaks or something very simalar (black and white logo) the two options i was given in the app were "YES-BREAAAAK my phone" and "NO- Im not crazy" i selected no and then my phone just reset and wouldnt turn on again ive tried everything i can do without hooking up to a comp ( as far as i know) but thx for the advice
Where did you get this from? It does not seem to be in the market.
OK just found it. Have a read off all the comments. Not good.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/gst-(galaxy-s-tweaker)/com.pommedeterresautee.lagfix
You could try restart holding Home Vol up and Power button then choose Clear cache and Factory reset.
or
Try restart the phone holding home Vol down and press power button to get into recovery mode. then plug in and open Kies go to tools and firmware recovery.

Is telling me i need recovery code, I have never received one.
Just read this so it may work for you.
disconnect the phone from USB, pull the battery, replace it, boot into recovery mode and reconnect the phone. Go back to Kies and tools firmware recovery.
In other words repeat what you have done :-s
Original post on Android Forums.
The message indicated that I would need a recovery code that could be obtained later by clicking Tools | Firmware Emergency Recovery Menu.
I was then instructed to disconnect the phone, pull the battery, boot into recovery mode and reconnect the phone which I did. The phone would not reconnect. At this point I called Samsung tech support and wasn't impressed when I was simply told to repeat the procedure. But to my surprise, the upgrade was successful the second time around. Go figure! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else ran into the recovery code message.

my problem is that i used to have Cm9 (beta 8) but i wanted to return to my operator stock ROM so i flash it with Odin, One package, but now it keeps rebootng i can see samsung logo and then Telcel (splash screen o boot animation) it keeps doing it again and again i cant go to Download Mode via Home-vol down-power because my volumen key doesn't work (i brake it), i just need to know what to do? can i go to download mode via ADB or what help me
When phone switched off:
Home Button + Power - open recovery
Wipe Data and Cache, reboot
You could try Recovery mode and wipe.

Your might want to try PWR + HOME to get into Recovery Mode screen, then Wipe Data (Factory Reset), when done remove battery, wait 10 sec., then insert battery and boot normally... has worked for me on the orphaned S5830D SGAce w/ DTLKI4 f/w. BUT, be aware, all user settings and installed apps are vaporized !!! Stuff on /SDCARD is safe.
Cheers,
help please

One package? Aren't you supposed to use the one with the 5 different files and not just one? To make a completely clean stock rom install, I mean. If that's what you want.
I think he(or she) want a stock rom only. You need to do a full wipe after flash with odin. Maybe touch recovery helps you, but i cant find any . You can go to download mode by "adb reboot download" , i think it cant success without wipe.
Or maybe try to flash a rom with 5 files as SuperAce609 said.
No. You can't flash 2.3.6 directly.
You need to flash 2.3.3 first , then 2.3.4 and last 2.3.6 using Odin.

@OP
just go to recovery > factory reset(wipe data)
and then reboot......Ur done
so simple.....
lol. u guys didnt even try to understand what his problem in the first place. atleast read the first post properly before giving suggestions.
the poor guy had his vol up and down button broke, and u suggest him to wipe data in recovery.
thing is his vol up and downn button doesnt work! so how can he navigate in recovery? lol
btw op, u said that u flashed onepackagee file via odin. so how did u manage to go into download mode in the first place when your vol down button is busted?
if u managed to go into download mode again, this time flash the full package instead.

The phone keeps rebooting on startup. The phone can go in download mode but can't go in recovery mode.

My phone was running 2.2.1 Froyo. I tried to upgrade it to 2.3.6 using process mentioned here. http://androidadvices.com/update-gal...wktm-firmware/
The Odin completed successfully and restarted the phone. But the phone was running spanish language. I was getting an alert after every 3-4 seconds. But i could not read it as it was spanish. I restarted the phone and it went in boot loop. The phone keeps rebooting every 2 seconds.
I can't get into recovery mode but I can get to download mode.
I have tried flashing many ROMs from sammobile.com but none of them is working.
Hi Everyone;
I unlocked my phone for flashing custom rom. After unlocking i reebooted it and was normal. Then i flashed cwm via htc one toolkit. It was successfull as well. Then i go to cwm and made factory reset + wipe cache + dalvik cache. Then i go to install zip from sd card but i could not find my rom file. Thought, it was deleted while unlocking device. Then decided to reboot phone again to copy rom file into the phone and reboot.
But, when i rebooted phone from cwm, it stuck on HTC Logo( Quietly Brilliant screen). Waited sometime, but nothing happened. Then i tried to power off it and boot into bootloader or recovery. I press and hold power button but it does not respond anyhow. When i am holding power button ,back and home buttons are blinking but nothing happens. Almost five minutes i waited as holding down power button but phone does not power off anyhow. i tried all methods like vol down + power, vol up + power and both volume keys + power. But really nothing happens, just blinking back and home buttons. That's all.
I can not simply power off device. :crying:
I also tried boot device via fastboot commands but it says "waiting for device" means computer does not recognize device.
Guys, i need an urgent help. Please...
just keep trying to reboot via holding power or power+vol down. if it doesnt reboot after 30 sec or so let go then try again. if that doesnt work you will have to wait for the battery to die. once you get to bootloader use all in one toolkit to erace cache. then boot to recovery and you rom should be there if not boot back to bootloader and sideload rom

First thank you for your quick reply. Unfortunatelly, power+vol down does not work at all. Maybe i tried 50 times.
Anyhow, after battery die. How can i boot into bootloader. I mean, can phone be charged again in this situation? Also, even if i manage to boot into bootloader or recovery how can i put custom rom file into phone. Actually, i did not use sideload or whatever you mentioned before.
I am serouisly confused now and don't know what to do.
Anyhow, as you said, firlst i need wait to battery die i think. Then i will report back whats happen.
Thank you again btw.

yes your not the first person with this problem. hold power+vol down to get into bootloader. press power button in bootloader to get in fast boot mode. use all in one toolkit to erase cache and side load rom. i recommend all in one toolkit because it automates the process. just select the option then follow on screen steps
Good to hear that i am not the first person That means somehow there is a solution i beleive. Still waiting for battery die. even i had 50 percent battery at the begining but still it holds on I never say again htc battery is bad
I exeprienced that stucking on boot logo several times before with my other htc phones but holding power + vol down/up worked always. This is the first time for me that i faced with power button can not power off device.. Well, ,i hope i wish i can handle out this problem. Definetley with your help.
Regards,
I am having the same problem and don't know what to do :crying:
Today I just got my One. Unlocked bootloader, rooted, flashed Android Revolution rom. Everything worked fine for a while... I wanted to reinstall the rom because I wanted to change some options in the installer - I did not wipe because it was the same rom (big mistake I guess!!). After making the installation option changes, when it was done it proceeded to reboot but now I am stuck in a white HTC logo boot loop hell... (with the red text at the bottom that says "this build is for development purposes only" etc). Holy crap I never had a phone that I could not remove the battery. I cannot get this back into recovery or ANYTHING, it just keeps looping... computer recognizes it, no problem with drivers or anything it just doesn't stay connected long enough (because of the constant looping) to be able to use the toolkit.
PLEASE any advice?? Can't even shut it down omg. Do I have a $600 brick here? :crying::crying:

Did you read the other posts in this thread? The way you do a "battery pull" on this phone is to HOLD the PWR + VOL DOWN button for ~15seconds. Your capactivie buttons will blink, too. On my device, it took exactly 15seconds to reboot. There have been some reports of some phones that get so stuck that you just have to wait until the battery dies and charge it back up.
Alternatively, if the computer is recongizing it, try to adb reboot recovery to try and get into the recovery.

hi again. this morning my battery finally out. Then i put my phone to the charger and started it in fastboot mode( that is a good new) Then i left it for 20-30 minutes to charge a little bit for flashing custom rom.Then i went to recovery and started adb sideload. Sideload was succesful and finally came to aroma installer of trickdroid. I chose my installation options and started to flash rom but process was frozen on 10 percent. It was saying unmount system, unmount cahce and both of them has notification as "already unmounted". But installation was not going on. Then again i tried to go back fasboot mode again by press and holding power+vol down but unfortunatelly lights are blinking but nothing happens again. I think i need to wait to battery die again.
Isn't it quite weird? Why power+vol down combination does not work for me anytime? So, do i need to wait for battery die in every frozen? Do you have any ideas or comments ?
Do i need to go back to stock first ?
EDIT : Battery was out again and i tried once more. This time installation (trick droid) was successful but it frozen at the end this time. And unfortunatelly i can not restart (power+vol down) it again again Holy crap, i am really pissed off with this problem.
O..K...Finally, i managed to start my phone and now it works... Especially thank you skinsfanbdh for your support.
But still i don't know how to solve button configuration problem. But anyhow i think i won't need quite sometim to use it I hope someone can find a solution for that later.
Guide me with steps please

Hi there,
I think I have flashed an incomplete downloaded rom on my phone in CWM and has now messed up my phone, i made a nandroid back up to my external SD card before the process. After flashing i then tried to restart my phone from philz touch latest version and my phone is now in a bootloop. I cant enter CWM again and cant enter either flash mode or fast boot mode - evey time I plug in my USB cable the LED turns red straight away even though i hold the volume up/down button.... I have tried to do this several times and even after hard resetting it - anything i could do now without flash mode or fastboot working - maybe ADB or something
Thanks

yes root its possible for htc one mini 2.
1- use htc dev website to unlock bootloader and choose all other supported phones. Follow directions.
2-Flash recovery TWRP and flash superuser.zip.
Google it or find in forum tutorials for 2nd step.
I've tried searching, but all I can find is either out of date and stating there's no solution yet, or applies to the original Mini, not the Mini 2.

1- Download the TWRP Recovery file here and copy it to the C:/Unlock folder created in the Bootloader Unlock Tutorial or the folder you use for HTC unlock
2- Now use the Shortcut “Windowskey + R” and type cmd into the textfield. Press OK to start the Shell.cmd
3- Now we need to navigate to our Unlock Folder by using the command “cd c:/Unlock“ (without “”) and pressing enter
4- Power off your HTC One Mini and boot it back up while holding the Volume Down and Power-Key until you see the bootloader
5- Select “Fastboot” with the volume keys and press power to select
6- Connect your HTC One Mini through original usb to your pc
7- In the Command-Window enter the command „fastboot flash recovery "twrp-2.7.1.0-20140802-memul.img“ (without „“) and press enter
8- The Installation should only take a few seconds and will give a short reports at the end
9- Your HTC One Mini should now have the TWRP Custom Recovery installed
TWRP will try flash SuperUser, it didnt work for me so,
Send UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip to sdcard and use TWRP to flash it
You must have updated drivers (install htc sync) and original usb cable.

I got TWRP in. None of the buttons worked. Eventually the screen went blank, I powered back on and just got a 'swipe to unlock' screen. Couldn't swipe, either. So...somehow the touchscreen isn't working?

Try and reboot the phone by holding volume down and power for 10 seconds.
That doesn't do anything. Seems like the only button that does anything is power, and that just turns the screen on if it's off, or to full brightness if it's dimmed (which it does for a second or two before turning off).
I've kept the screen on and managed to run the battery down to 52%. My plan at this point is to run it completely flat, forcing the phone to shut down, then charge it up a bit and see if I can boot. Beyond that, I'm out of ideas and even if I manage to reboot I don't see how TWRP's going to magically start working.
It boots into Android by default, right? And you have to use the Fastboot menu to get to TWRP? No idea how I got to it the first time, actually, and it's been years since I've used it on my old phone.
EDIT: It's TWRP v2.7.1.0. According to the website, the newest version, 2.8.0.0 "[fixes] a bug that caused weird graphics and touch issues". Should I be using this version instead? It doesn't seem to support the Mini 2.
Check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394744
Try holding power under a bright light..
turn screen off. and under bright light turn it back on. see if it works
No dice. Down to 15% battery at this point anyway, shouldn't be too much longer before it's flat. Then, fingers crossed it works.
How do I get back to TWRP? Fastboot then select 'recovery' (I think I recall that being one of the options)?

just to be on the safe side, i would stay in fastboot and re-flash TWRP
The battery finally went flat, but then as soon as I plugged the phone in it booted into TWRP...which still doesn't work. Have unplugged it again. No idea where to go from here. Tried the "adb reboot bootloader" command from the thread you linked to, and all it did was boot right back into TWRP.

this happened to me, just hold power + vol down + vol up for 10 seconds, phone will reboot.
edit: whilst doing this dont have the usb plugged in. I have noticed having the usb plugged in, a restart sends it straight back to twrp - hence the same issue.
It reboots straight into TWRP when plugged into either the wall or my computer, and just shuts down when not plugged in at all. Can't get it to boot at all, with either volume down + power or just power, but the second I plug it in it boots TWRP.

Left it plugged in for a while, let the battery build up, and managed to get it booted into Android. So that's a start, at least.
So: fastboot, "fastboot erase recovery" then "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"?

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img should override. i would also download another version just in case that one is corrupted
this is where i got it originally

You mean another version from another source, or another copy via that link? Not sure where else to get a copy; I assume you get links from the TWRP website after selecting your phone model but the HTC One Mini 2 isn't listed.
I saw somewhere that simply overriding could cause problems, therefore it's best to erase first?

Check post above this.
TWRP for htc one mini 2 its not yet avaiable in the site, so this is custom.
I have send another file mega https://mega.co.nz/#!C9sRXCAC!OKDm7Df5o95elxtSnF19hiLgsjKn8nq0KplYL9KriIc and changed instructions
or you can get it from the forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-mini-2/orig-development/recovery-twp-2-7-1-0-one-mini-2-t2801370
Good luck
