for some reason no computer can recognise my phone over USB it always says thats its malfunctioned, but the phone thinks its being charged on AC instead of USB i have never found a solution ive tried CM11 by Novafusions, PAC ROM and 2 different CM12's but all face same issue but i want to go back to the original ROM, i lost my nandroid backups so was wondering if their was sort of way to flash it from the phone or if someone could give me their nandroid backup?
if someone has not done a firmware update, then a simple thing you can do for me is to download the firmware then use a app to pll the update.zip out so i can flash it i think you can find it in chache files if you dont want to use zip
Have you tried downloading the appropriate ROM from samsung-updates dot com (can't post links) and flashing it through Odin? Or perhaps download mode isn't recognised either?

Yeah download mode isnt recognised either the only way i can get back to stock is somehow through recovery or on the phone
That's rather unusual. I'll see what I can do with my codina and let you know if I succeed.

Try to find one near your home with an Riff Box (or another brand) - They can repair it quite easily by low-level-flashing of new FW.
I could do it also but sending it back and forth from UK to DE is quite useless....

You would need a special hardware box (I have "Riff Box" - google for it to know what i mean) for that...
You cannot do this only with software or simple guide....
Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TTjZgQYRfw
And to buy this box only for Ace2 is quite sensless... Box is much more expensive than ace2's value (nowadays)
OR
Try to find an service on ebay - search for "jtag repair samsung" OR "unbrick samsung"
And before you ask: Don't wast your money for one of this "USB Jig Dongles" - That do NOT work for Ace2.

Hello people
I'm a user of the Arc s and who has spent over 5 hrs trying to root my phone but with no luck,
I've tried every way of rooting I could find but they ether don't work or I couldn't download the required files.
Meaning when I try and download the flashtools, A i don't know which one if the correct link because theres like 600 links or something and, B the person who uploaded the files had to use a server with a 1 download a hr limet and I'm NOT paying anything or signing up to the hosting place.
When I try one of the easy ways, like the one click app way they don't do anything, like i get cmd popping up for like 2 seconds then closing but nothing happens.
Just so you guys know, I'm not a noob. I have done these things before on different phones, but A it's been a long time scenes I've rooted anything before and B my Arc needs to be rooted in a very strange way which I've never seen before.
So the bottom line is i need help, can anyone help? anything would be useful.
Flashtool has 3 links on the main page ...
http://androxyde.github.com/
All 3 worked fine for me. Let's start there
What build are you on? If it is .62/69 then the one click method its never going to work.
If on .42 then the one click will work
if on ics the easy rooting will work add I have used them both.
Flashtools look for version .7.0.1
When using three one click rooting phone needs to be powered on. Connect via usb run file via PC then follow the promts on screen.
I an not in front of PC so cant post links.

Thats the one I tried at the start. I still get the can't mount system error.
Theres probably something simple that I'm missing but I have no clue what it could be.
I recently came into the possession of an Xperia Play and I have been left confused by the situation. The touch screen does not work but the buttons do... It is running the default modded Sony version of Android, It is a few months old and I have a feeling that it is a software problem rather than a hardware problem. I am wondering if there is any rooting method that would be suitable for my situation or should I just give up on the phone?
Any help would be appreciated

It's not rooted and it's already running the stock version of aneroid. I'm trying to figure out if I could root it without being able to access the phone's settings. I believe installing third party apps is enabled. Should I just try superoneclick or would I risk bricking it

I wrote this request in another thread and I think hasn't been read by many people, so I opened a specific thread.
Our phone may remain stucked for several reasons in a QLOAD 9008 device state, or similar device (easily verifiable even with Windows). It's better to test a solution very simple and useful for all.
To do this is required to extract some files residing in an area of the phone's memory and only a working phone can be used to extract a dump of this files following how explained in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136738
Don't think an hardbrick can't happens to you, it may happens and without a tested solution your phone may become a paperweight. Alas my phone is bricked (!), I cannot extract any file from it, I can only try to repair the phone but I need this files to test this method. I invite anyone who has care of his phone to read the topic linked above and try to extract the files needed to repair the phone locked in QDLOAD mode (05c6:9008), we have only this way to unbrick the hardbricked phone for free (if the phone warranty is expired or invalid).
I thank anyone (uhm... mr. Arco68?...) who gives a hand to solve the "Qload 9008 mode" brick problem with this method!
I hope that someone will help you.
I've read the thread, and I'm willing to help... but what exactly I have to do?
Honestly, I can't make any sense of the thread...

Today, or as soon as possible, I'll try to make backups of the bootloader, partition table and a .pit from an i9100. If I cannot do that, as soon as possible I will try with a i9001 that has hardware very similar to the i8150. I hope I can do it, so I will explain here how to do it step by step to allow other users do the same more easily. Stay tuned!

Guys, please assist or I`ll go mad in a minute and smash this crap with a hammer Wife got SGS S3 Mini/GT-i8190N. Don`t know what network it came from, but was not locked and came from UK.
Her phone suddenly turned off today and won`t boot, stuck here:

How on earth I get it back to life? No hacks ever have been done to it. Google reveals huge amount of people having same problems - stuck at boot screen. Is that some kind of hardware issue with this model?
One of the solutions is to do factory reset - but how if I can`t get into the phone? I can get into ODIN mode, connect to ODIN, but I can`t download firmware as I don`t know what network phone came from or even it was sim ree(not locked to any).
KIES just says CONNECTING... and nothing happens.

Was there a box that the phone came in? Usually somewhere on that you can find something that looks like the software version that came on the phone originally. I know the standard S3 has that and I'll go out on a limb to assume that this one has it as well, if you have the box. Outside of that, not sure what else to tell you.
Good luck!

2-You need to enable USB debugging mode (Settings>Developer options) which is deactivated by default. - I cannot access it as I can`t get into my phone.
Those firmwares can go fine with any I8190 - wife`s phone has N at the end of model.
Also - ODIN doesn`t see my phone, even its in Odin mode and Samsung USB drivers installed.

Plugged USB cable in another USB port and ODIN can see my phone. Now, just need to know - can I flash any ROM or only one it came from factory with?
I don't see any firmwares for Nairobi and not sure I would flash one in any case, did you happen to check what version of android was on it when u got it? I know on my G III I can flash any I747M firmware and they all load and boot fine my concern us that you get the right radio and if I had to guess I would use I8190NXXAMG1, hope that helps, when u have Odin started on your desktop and plug in your phone in d/l mode it does not show your phone?

You are screwed then. I dont think we have a flashable BL to recover from hard brick like that. How did you get there? It is possible you just triggered the qualcomm DL flash mode and hard reset will let it boot normally. If the bootloader is truly corrupted there is nothing you can do.
