Helo,
I've got a big proplem, my GT540 doesn't boot anymore it always freezes when the LG sign appears. I have this proplem since I'd tried to change the statusbar font into whiteby changing the services.jar. Hardreset and KDZ Updater aren't working. And I also tried to change the new services.jar to the old with adb but I don't get root permissions.
My phone runs with 2.1 Eclair.
Thanks for your help,
Lucas
Wait, arent the status bar white by defoult ?
No i don't mean the bar I mean the clock, but do you have any ideas to solve my proplem?
Do The Hard Reset With Press The
Vol Up + Search Key (on the right side of the phome) + home button
When I Trie to do the hardreset it Happens nothing! Is there no other possibillity to reset?
You could try fresh install with KDZ updater, that worked for me when I broked the radio and my network didn't worked. If you have troubles geting in to download mode you could try removing the battery and press volume up + camera + power button Just be carefull! Good luck

Here is the log file of KDZ Updater, rename it to Fail.log

OK, you could try this :
If you have problems with KDZ_FW_UPD - Download and install from Microsoft two files "MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser" and "VisualC Redist"
1 LG_Android_Driver Ver 1.0 must be installed
2 In the Device Manager disable LGE Android USB Modem
3 Run Windows Enabler (on Windows 7 as administrator) and left click on the icon in System tray ( it should be ON )
4 Run "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" (on Windows 7 as administrator)
5 In the "Type" select "3GQCT", then choose the firmware file
6 Expand the window of the KZD flasher ( more options will emerge )
7 In the "PhoneMode" section choose "CS_EMERGENCY"
DIAG - standard flashing mode of ON state
EMERGENCY - in extreme cases!
CS_EMERGENCY - the same thing, CS - crash systems
8 Click "Start update" will process the firmware
You could also disable your anti virus and use only the back USB ports of your PC. Good luck !
Oh THANKS! I love you guy, I thought I killed my brand new mobile!

Very GOOD now it did it like this.
Start your phone in recovery. Volume down+camera+power, see if the pc sees the device. Start the update tool max it and select emergency and flash again.
This fixed...
Now I need to add spanish to it. Do you know how??

Pleaz help us =(
My PC don't see my phone, my phone stay on 'lg' boot, and can't boot on emergency or hard reset... =/
EDIT: i did it!
You only need to desactivate the LG Android USB Modem (i didn't saw 'Modem' on Device Manager, so i could not desactivate it).
If like me you don't see Modem, you will see it during the period of time during which the device is recognized mod download, ie for about 5 seconds after you plugged in...
I hope it will help someone
PS: Sorry for my english..
Look under modem and you see your phone
At property under tab look your com number remember it
Take teraterm create a connection with your phone you can connect it normally
When you are connected write
AT
( if you see nothing go to setting general and activate ''echo typed only'' )
If your getting OK
AT%FRST%
and the phone does a factory reset

Yes there already are A LOT of threads about rooting ... AND there are much easier way to get root than the one you explain!
This is especially handy if you'r new to this and just want root access to your stock SGSII:
[ROOT]How to ROOT Galaxy S2! [1-Click Root][Video Tutorial][No Odin required]
Seems pretty complicated with all those steps and there are easier methods i think.. but thanks anyway =]
I used the Easy rooting toolkit (v4.0) made by DooMLoRD. It works and as it is named really easy.
- install driver on PC
- download odin
- download rooted kernel
- open odin and select PDA and find the kernel
- put your phone in download mode
- start
But some of us don't like ODIN, or would prefer to do it in another way, or want to keep our existing ROM.
Like me for example... I'm quite happy with the regular SGS2 ROM, doubt that I have anything to gain with a custom ROM, and just want to be rooted...

Then use jig to get rid of triangle and reset flash counter to 0.
Might seem like a few steps but after you have done it once the next times will only take a minute or two.
Don't like Odin or don't want to use it? Well I bet at some time you do use it. Odin doesn't use an exploit, it's a flashing tool so you can be more confident that the flashed kernel will work to root your phone.
Once you have root don't forget to do a nandroid backup using CWM. Restoring a backup is the easiest way to downgrade from things like ICS.
Happy rooting and flashing....

Note:
1.Phone must have atleast 60% Battery
2.Take Backup of all your phone data like contacts,etc. as this process will factory reset your phone

1.Android 2.3.6 Value Pack from here(password: samfirmware.com)
2.Root File from here or here
3.USB Drivers form here(This Is Optional if it is already installed by your phone, else you need to download it and install it)
4.PIT file form here
Steps:
To Upgrade:
Once the download is complete, extract the files in one place
1.Run Odin3 and add the files as follows:
--PIT: Put the PIT File,
--PDA: Put the Code File,
--Phone: Put the Modem File,
--CSC: Put the CSC File,
--(IMAGE ATTACHED BELOW :1)--
2.Put your SGS to download mode. Do so by 3-Button Combo..
--Volume Down+Home (Center) Button+Power Button
Press and hold it till you see "Download" (Attached Image :3)
And then connect it to your system for odin to recognise it, make sure there is the a yellow box in "ID:COM" (Shown in Image :1)
If its not recognising make sure the drivers are installed..If the are then try other versions of odin3(Also attached with 2.3.6 File)..
3.Hit the start button and wait for some time..
Remember IF there is no progress for 5 mins or so, disconnect your phone and try it again..and also use different odin versions (Also attached with 2.3.6 File)
The phone will automatically reboot..The first reboot make take 5~10 minutes..
To Root:
1.Run Odin from the downloaded file and add only 1 file
--PDA:Put the CF-Root file that you just downloaded
--(Image Attached :2)--
2.Attached the phone in Download mode (As Mentioned Earlier)
--wait for it to be recognised by odin..
3.Hit the start button and wait for a few seconds
The phone will automatically reboot..After reboot check if Superuser application is there with other 2 new applications on your phone (As a System file i.e; you cannot delete this application)
(This checks if your phone is rooted or not)

Thanks very much for this guide, it was quite clear cut and helpful. Only things I mention incase anyone else has similar issues; getting the installer for the Samsung drivers to work on W8 took many clicks and admin access and I had to track down Odin 1.7 for it to work.

Hello guys,
Previously, i tried to root my S4 and somehow it failed. I got this error message like "Super SU binary not installed.." I wanted to get rid of supersu in the system because it is giving me problems like my wifi cannot enable anymore. So, i performed backup and reset option but the supersu program is still inside my phone. i then tried to play with the recovery mode: "apply update from external storage" with the file - I9505_Omega_v3.0_XXUAME2_md5_05D08D598EF1873761CFF710BB628B25.zip, "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition", etc. After i performed them several times, my phone now is not booting and only stuck at Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505" logo.
i've been reading several forums and most of them are saying that Flash ROM is needed. Therefore, i tried to download I9505XXUAME2_I9505OLBAMDM_SIN.zip from samfirmware.com but before the download finishes, my pc is showing me error message against this file and thus, the download is unsuccessful! Im running out of solutions guys, i really appreciate if you could help me.
What phone model do you have is it SPH-L720? Or the European version?
ODIN

Head over to http://galaxys4root.com
They have a lot of useful tools and youtube videos on how completely restore your phone to stock.
What I would suggest is to follow the method listed on this site under the "GS4 stock firmware" tab.
To do this, use ODIN (which is a leaked software from samsung used to flash firmwares to devices) to re-flash the firmware to the phone (recovery and all)
THIS WILL DELETE ALL DATA ON THE PHONE!
It sounds like you don't have any acces to the phone, so I'm sure that is the least of your worries.
Use either this site or the sam firmware website.
CONFIRM WITH THE LABEL UNDER THE BATTERY FOR YOUR DEVICE MODEL NUMBER
You MUST use the correct firmware, otherwise you will run into problems like this.
Once you have the odin, drivers, and firmwares downloaded, run ODIN (with admin privileges) and select the firmware that was downloaded for your device for the PDA section.
Unplug the phone from the computer, boot into "download/odin mode" by starting from the phone turned off, turn it on, but before pressing the power button, old the home and vol down buttons, then power button.
Once you see the download mode on the phone screen, and the odin software recognizes it, there will be a button on ODIN that says "flash" or something to that effect.
Let the software do its thing and you should be good to go.
If you are using a windows PC, you need to make sure you have all the drivers, if you are using a mac/linux machine, there is a program called "Heimdall" that is an open source, cross platform version of ODIN, but I personally haven't had any luck with it, and I resorted to dual booting my mac with Windows 7.
If you have any questions feel free to reply, as I pretty much always have a phone/tablet/computer in front of me and will be able to see your reply quickly.
Good Luck!
Hi,
I tried to follow the following instructions : http://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/general/how-to-flash-stock-twrp-root-sm-g531f-t3286340
On the step : "9. Flash your firmware with Odin by using the AP button and hit start. Make sure repartition is NOT selected and untick auto reboot. This step takes some time" it got stucked and Failed.
I tried to reboot my phone to start over but I get the following message :
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies & try again.
This message is shown when I reboot, when I try to reach the stock recovery and when I try to reach the Download Mode.
With Kies, my device isn't connecting properly, it's looping "Connected" / "Disconnected" / "Connected" / "Disconnected" etc...
That's why I have two questions for you :
First one, is my phone totally blocked and I should buy a new one ?
If not, is there someone who could help me solve this issue ?
Thanks in advance
REFlash stock ?
Reflash with KIES put model and serial number of your phone and let the program load the firmware for your phone.
You get error at boot.img ?
