3rd time .... - Galaxy S II General

Will I be lucky tomorrow when my 2nd replacement SG2 arrives. Not an unknown problem though, red/pinkish image on the screen. Been ploughing through various entries relating to this as i guess my 3rd will still be the same !
I have read the awaited 2.3.4 update will solve the problem or KE7 via Odin, although some say KE7 doesn't work.......so what to do if number 3's the same as I would really like to keep the phone ?
Anyone who has managed to get rid of this problem and can give some advise I would be most grateful.
Thanks

Help, My 8125 Screen display 256 colors.

It seems like it doesn't show 64K colors anymore.
I tried to hard reset several time, but no luck.
it happend just like that, I didn't install anything new .
Anyone ? Anything ?
I have the latest firmware.
PLEASE !
thanks,
Numnum
no idea.
have you tried downgrading the firmware to a previous version?
sounds like you're a bit buggered mate.
Thanks...
No, I didn't downgrade it yet.
I will try to do it ...but I ahve been working with the new FW for 2 weeks or so ...
Do you have any clue where I can find the old Firmware ?
Thanks.
old firmware
if you hunt arround the forums there are usually a lot of different versions lurking. just make sure you read the entire thread so you know about any problems.
i'll admit i've never actually done a downgrade but i'm sure if you read the instructions carefully it'll be easy. i'm sure i've seen somewhere on here how to do it. its definately worth a try. i's the first thing i'd do if I had your problem.
good luck.
me again ...
Downgraded...no luck.
Upgraded again, same $hit.
I'll post photos of the problem soon .
thanks for yor advice.
ND.
oh well
sounds like it might be a hardware problem then. is your phone still under warranty?
If it is then I'd put the original software back on and get it sent back.
mm...
I bought it month ago from Cingular.
Should I contact Cingular ? HTC ?
Thanks,
N.
Ignore me, I misread it...

Hello and welcome on board,
Can you post up the exact error message you are getting please?
Also read this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477 which you will fond useful and come back with any questions.
Incidentally you are not a fool for asking as long as you have searched first.

hi mate thanks for the reply,when i go to the htc offical rom download,i'm asked to enter my serial number,which i do but says my device is not suitable and won't let me proceed any further??
cheers phil
got a major problem now ive tried to update to 1.48 but it crashed now i get a warning traingle on start up,and can go into bootloader screen and it says upgrade rom code error please try again???someone please help.i hope i havent bricked my phone
Is your HD2 branded? (bought it in combination with a contract?)
hi mate its on vodafone contract buts its not branded.
Hi again,
Have you tried to hard reset your phone to see if the old rom boots up again?
If it does not then you might want to reflash your existing rom onto your phone using the SD card method (look at the threads at the top of the Rom Development page to find what you are looking for).
If it works and you are still keen to upgrade the rom you need to read the threads on using either the Goldcard or HardSPL methods to upgrade.
Come back and let us know how you got on.
WB
hi mate i was having the exact same probs as the chap in the hd2 bricked thread,same messages etc and stopping at 9% i took there advice and reflashed the hpsl again which has worked a treat,i'm now a little dubious bout trying to upgrade as i don't fancy bricking it.
ive emailed htc to see why i cant upgrade from 1.43 to 1.48 seems odd it says my phone isnt suitable.
p.s thanks for the help mate much appreciated
OK, wait until you hear back from them. However if you are now up and running and have installed HardSPL, I think you will find that flashing a new radio on its own might help solve your problems.
I think if you look at the thread you were referring to (this one...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618084), IIRC, MysticGenius runs through a procedure for doing this that helped him sort out a similar problem.
Good luck with it.
WB
PS: Lesson learned here though is to read exhaustively on the topics on here BEFORE jumping in as fixing problems later can be both time consuming, if you are lucky, and a pain in the rear. As for that horrible sick feeling you get when you think you have bricked £500 worth of phone....wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy!

[NEED HELP VERY BADLY] Regarding Android 2.1 Update

Hi all
Everybody seem to be getting the update except for me :-(
I m using a debranded Orange(UK 2.73.61.66) Hero in India. And I rooted it and was running V ROM 10.3.2 peacefully. But I went back to my stock ROM(did RUU update) to get the official update. which is not happening at this moment.
So, first question, Am I supposed to get the update now..?? (Because HTC.com/uk site tells that its being released)
Second, whats that date trick again..? which everybody seems to be talking
And Sorry for creating a new thread, Didn have patience to search through all other threads

forward month and the year. Restart and wait.
You should have 405 prior to getting 2.1. Rather, you have 61...
You don't even need to restart - as soon as the phone figures out that its internal date is over two weeks after it last checked, it will check for update again. Mine did within 30 seconds after changing the date.
Only reason why this might not work is if you advanced the date before - in that case, you need to advance it even further.

Thanks for the reply guys. But was just wondering whether there is combination of brand and place to get the update. Like if u have Orange branded and u need to be in UK or something like that. (Coz I m in India, Strangely Indian versions have already received the updates)
FYI I have advanced the date to August..!! Still no luck :-(
If I read the numerous thread correctly, Orange UK users with carrier-crippled handsets don't see the OTA update at all yet. Someone correct me please if I'm wrong, though.
There is already a thread ** Official 2.1 UK UPDATE Thread ** .
Keep posts in the same area regards to this update then everyone can find it.

Yeah. Its true that they have not released the update for Orange Hero's. But I have seen threads where people did mention of receiving updates for Orange Hero.
So was just wondering

Firmware Update via Kies resulted in error

Hi All,
I just updated my S2 via Kies and now get the com.android.phone 'Force Close' error if I restart the phone.
Not rooted, using Launcher Pro as not a fan of Touchwizz.
Any ideas? Anyone else seen the error?
Thank you
Razz
at a guess your on orange? there is a bug for orange users, just use ke1 as there is no real change...some even say ke2 is worse
Yes... I am on Orange. Phone bought from P4U so it is unlocked / unbranded. Why would putting in an Orange SIM cause this issue?
Many apologies. I have seen there is a thread about this already. Obviously not great at searching.
Admin can close / delete this waste of cyber ink!
thanks

[Q] Update brick and Acer_A500_1.104.02_COM_GEN1

Help gentle folks...
The update broke my Wifi (as we all know by now) but I made it worse and now have bricked my tablet.
I can get back to the chinese rom, but really would like the US ROM Acer_A500_1.104.02_COM_GEN1 which is where I started.
I can't seem to get to the from the developers forum and would really appreciate getting this file.
I am comfortable with ADB and will need minimal instruction...if I can get the ROM.
I'm not fully interested in rooting although I will if need be...I just want to get back to where I was before the update.
Thanks,
Ralph
Update Brokre my WiFi Too
The update Broke my WiFi too. I contacted Acer support and they told me that "Unfortunately, you are first person reporting this issue." Please contact them, so they do something about it. It is a very expensive brick.
Any help, is welcome.
