So something went wrong during an upgrade to gen2, and my phone now has no IMEI number. I found some guides on how to get it back, but they're all in broken English and aren't at all clear. I've done what they say as far as I understand, but my IMEI number is still 0, is there anything I can do to fix this?
I really don't know what's your problem, but if U need your IMEI number, it's really simply: unplug the battery and there it is.. (not on battery but on mobile of course..)
That's not it, my phone doesn't have one. As in, I go into about phone and it shows the IMEI as 000000000

I'd already been looking under there, I found nothing new. however, after a bit of fiddling around myself, I managed to sort out the problem. I'll write a guide of how to do it for anyone else who encounters this problems at some point.

I want to replace power button (standby / screen off) .
It can't or don't have any app , isn't it???
I'm sorry, but could you clarify what you're asking?
He wants an application that can be used to turn the screen off/put the phone to sleep. To "replace" the power button.

Carlos Graves from phonedog was showing off cyanogen a month or so ago and he had some sorta program that could power down your phone and such. I might be wrong though. If your phone is rooted, I could look it up for you.

Sure, i'd be glad to help. It will take me a little bit to find it though. I might be mistaken though but i'll report back whatever I can find.
Thanks, man.
I hope you find what you thought you saw, but I really doubt it was such an app, though. We have this other thread going on ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653209 ), and nobody seems to have heard of such a function currently available.
Shame though, as it turns out that alot of people is having major problems with their power buttons.
Well I found what I was looking for but it wasn't what I thought it was. I'm extremely sorry.
The program I thought turned off the phone is called "quick boot" but that just helps your phone boot into recovery and such. It can also reboot your phone which is a plus. It can be seen here

No problem, that's what I thought. (See my last post.)

Hi all,
About 2 weeks ago I noticed the bottom left of my screen would activate by itself repeatedly. This mostly seemed to happen when I was trying to type something. It carried on for a while so tonight I flashed a romkitchen rom (2.3.3) (I was on 2.2.1 before), thinking it might be a bug in the system somewhere. Well the problem is still there and I;ve discovered it's always that same corner of the screen that does it no matter what orientation I have it in. I can't even sign into the market at the moment because it makes it impossible to type and the screen ends up freezing until I press the home screen.
Is there anything this could be other than a hardware issue? I did a full factory reset etc during the flashing process.
If I need to send it back would I need to flash it back to stock? I bout my phone from O2 in the UK, where can I get the correct firmware? samfirmware has loads but how do I know which one I need?
Thanks in advance!
Sounds like a hardware issue. Did it ever get rained on or something? Do you use a screen protector?
You might want to edit the topic title, although it is quite funny. Read it and think a bit.

It happens at random. Sometimes it works fine. Not related to being plugged in though
I know someone that had the same issue, though it was with the Vibrant (not i9000m). He sent it to samsung, but it still has the same problem, though not as frequent. I haven't seen him in a while so I'm not sure if he ever got it resolved...

Just to eliminate all possible outside influences, take the protector off and clean the screen really well - and see if it still does it. If it does, then bring it in and try your best to be convincing

I'll see how it goes with the protector off. I think my screen is failing though as now on occassion the screen will completely freeze and I have to put it to sleep and wait a few minutes for it to start working again.
Can anyone point me in the direction of carrier specific stock firmwares? I can only find stock android ones.

I've had the same problem. Unlocked SGS on Orange UK. The problem was on/off for a while but eventually got so bad I couldn't use the phone, removing screen protector made no difference.
I stuck an old Froyo build on and took it into carphonewarehouse, they sent it off and it was fixed in their repair centre. No problems since and that was 4 months ago.
Not sure how you would go about getting the operators rom on there but I'm sure you can mess around with Kies to get it to download the one you want.

Try samfirmware.com, down at the botton of the GT I9000 firmwares are the provider's ones.

Think that's what I'll have to do then. Hadn't thought of using Kies, thanks for that. I'll whack a stock 2.1 rom on there and see if it will update to 2.2 through kies.

me and others flash the room from the stupied idiot guy in this post and got brick our devices, BTW i think he is working with the company you mintioned in web site, if like that he and the company are dirty.
any way, you are developer so try to recognize how flashing rom could make such problem. please.

Definitely not working for any company, and I have developed many Android ROMs and never had this problem. I've been here since 2005, for crying out loud. This is my first Samsung ROM, so I admit to being new there. I will even accept your "stupid idiot" comment, as I guess I deserve it. Although, I wonder why 150 people have downloaded it and only two or three people that I can see have been bricked. Something must connect those with issues. We need to find what it is.
Also, I am happy to pay for the de-bricking of those who are legitimately bricked i.e., followed instructions, have a receipt from JTAG, or whatever it is). Just PM me.

iam in middle east and not confidant to ship my device to unknown address because he mentioned in web page that he has solution, i mean JTAG and its not subject of who to pay steve.
supposedly that web site is true, and they didn't mention that they will change any part of device, what they will do to fix? the problem happened because we flashed non compatible files i think.
let us figure out the problem and try to find solution. right?

Absolutely. I understand. I have gotten into many messes since i started developing, and know that panic. I just need to know everything you.and the other user who had this problem can tell e about your device so i can find out what the common denominator is. So, confirm it is the wifi and 3g version you are using, and what build you are coming from, if you would. Are you using a sim card? Have you tried pressing power and volume up for a while? Thanks. Also, does your tablet feel hot at all?

Well I used yours as a base, just chopped the usual crap out, resigned, flashed, everything seemed OK. Initiated reboot, bam, doesn't turn on.
Charged all night, tab is hot along left edge, so I'm guessing still charging. 8600.

let us exchange the ideas
first we need to get the device powered so maybe remove and return battery could do something?? but how?
any external way to use it throw usb slot while charging ?
I would try pulling the battery but have no idea how to get the case off.
Steve, just wondering out loud whether those who have the hard-brick issue be because there are on pre-production hardware, so they have a slightly different hardware SKU. Hence your ROM does not work for them.

That seems to be the case for one of them. I am not positive about the others. I am having a hard time getting people to just tell me what build they were using prior to the flash...There seem to be 3 people who have had this porblem, and there must be something linking them, although it may be something random. Need to figure it out.

I came from P6800ZSKL2. Dont know if it was from the very first production line, but judging by the quality (i bought three, all with crap displays) they probably were.
Also, i believe the device is on and trying to unpack something because it is indeed warm.
This of course means that there may be hope of getting into download or recovery yet... i will drain it for 34 hours and then attempt to turn it back on.

For the record hard bricks on the Exynos 4210 will occur generally in one of 3 ways:
1) Mis-matched boot.bin and sbl.bin
2) Incompatible boot.bin and sbl.bin combo
3) Invalid PIT file flash from an earlier generation TAB or Galaxy S device
Anything else causing a black screen is simply hardware failure.

There's a certain software made by a certain person right above you, with the ability to fix that fukkup. It's in the "ROMs, development" section and it's called EDL Tool.
Anyhow why can't you unlock it if it was your phone?? You just need to put your Google account in there
