Bell SGS wont use 3 button reboot

I have been trying all day to get this 3 button mode to work for my Bell samsung JH2. I have read that bell released a firmware update to fix it and i believe i have the correct version. Problem is ican never ever seem to get into the 3 button mode properly.. i holy volume up and Home and Power.....then when i see the "I9000 M" screen, i let go of power and keep holing home and volume up. it just boots like normal. What am i doing wrong?

I have same issues , but I got around by using the adb comands through the PC :
something like "adb reboot recovery"

When did you flash to JH2?

Jark...
Have you "reflashed" to JH2 by using the regedit trick you can find here in the forum? I had flashed to JH2 the day after I bought my phone and I still had the 3button problem but when the firmware was re-released and I followed the regedit trick it fixed the issue.
You will need to update your Kies as well. Just search the forums for the instructions on these items and you should be "good to go"...
Hope it works out for you!!!

You definitely have to reflash JH2 using the registry trick described in the main topic. I had to do the same but the process is pretty straightforward and you shouldn't expect problems.

Unlocking Vibrant

Hi there,
I am pretty new with this stuff, as I just got this phone today. It came with Froyo2.2 so I unrooted it back to the original JFK.
It did not come with a sim card, so I do not have a sim inside the phone as of now. But I do have a bell sim that I will use after to put the unlock key in... Is that okay?
I Connected the vibrant through Mini Kies and the MTP application says its connected.
I just re rooted from J16 back to the original.
I have the 64 bit drivers installed.
When I try to run Generate Unlock Windows Script I get the following error message saying...
Copy nv_data.bin
*daemon not running. Starting it now *
*daemon started succesfully *
error: device not found
error unable to find file <.\nv_data.bin>
could not find C:\documents and settings\1\desktop\key\generateunlockwindows\nv_data.bin
Anyone know what this means?
Or know what to do in this situation?
I am not sure if I should try installing the 32bit drivers or what.

how did you downgrade the phone from android 2.2?
I just bought the phone through ebay with the OS already at 2.2, and the phone is locked to t-mobile. I've heard it is not possible to unlock it with the 2.2 update. Is that true?

Yup, having exact same problem. If you find a fix let me know.

Make sure your usb setting is on debug and you have all of the files for the unlock on your pc. You also need java installed.
That method worked for me from stock.

can someone answer my question?

I don't know whether the unlock methods work with Froyo but you can download a 2.1 stock Odin in the forum.

Fixing so-called "Bricks"/Odin Errors
This guide is open to contribution/editing/correcting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOT CYCLE
This is where you get the annoying Samsung Screen/Galaxy S screen.
DOWNLOAD REQUIRED (CREDITS TO JUSTANOTHERCROWD):
1. Get into Download Mode (WITH THE PHONE PLUGGED IN) by following the steps below
*Turn off the phone until you get to the charging battery screen (keep in mind, your phone is currently PLUGGED IN)
*Press volume up and down, and power all at once.
*As soon as the screen turns black, release your power button.
2. Unplug phone from USB
3. Open Odin (in Administrator if you're running W7 or Vista), try one of the ones I attached to this post, at least one of them is bound to work, some don't work for me, but works for others, some doesn't work for others, but works for me, whatever floats your boat
4. Load in the files into Odin that you have downloaded from above Just load in the files corresponding to the text field.
DO NOT CHECK REPARTITION.
5. Plug in your phone with the DL mode
6. Click start and wait for the magic
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO-BOOT PHONES
This is where your phone does NOT turn on, no combo of buttons works and power button does nothing.
DO THIS ONLY WHEN YOU PLUG IN YOUR PHONE AND NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN!!! If else, follow the steps from above.
This method is basically same as above, EXCEPT the way you get into Download Mode as your phone is HARD BROKEN.
1. Download all the files required in the "BOOT CYCLE" section of this post.
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Unplug phone from USB
8. Follow steps 4-8 from the "BOOT CYCLE" section.
Troubleshooting:
-Odin stuck at some random process?
*Switch to another odin
*Make sure you did NOT check repartition, if you did, just repeat all the steps over again, except for the downloading parts, obviously.
-Phone not responsive?
*Try "NO-BOOT PHONES"section of this guide
-Phone stuck at Galaxy S logo screen?
*Put it in to DL mode, and run Odin again, it's just a bad install.
-All three ODIN is nonfunctional, stuck or giving "FAILED" errors?
*DO NOT CLOSE ODIN ONCE IT HAS FAILED!
*Unplug your phone
*Replug in your phone, get it into DL mode
* Unplug once it is in DL mode
*Replug and ODIN should recognize your phone
*Leave all the settings the same, then click "Start" again.
-Cannot get into download mode using the method I listed? Use the method(s) below:
Soldering Method
More methods coming soon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know how much of a pain posting in the Q/A section can be and the wait time is pretty bad, so if you need help regarding UNBRICKING and ONLY UNBRICKING feel free to post in here.[/S​

Help, i bricked my x8!

Hello all,
I've got Xperia x8 about a month ago. I rooted it next day i got it and from them im using ROM's and everything was working perfect till know.
When the problem start i was on GingerFroyo v1.4.16, i used that rom for a week and it worked perfect. I think the cause of the problem is that i transfered all apps to internal memory with titanium backup(they were previous on sd card), after i did that i went to market but it cound'nt open(i tried 5-6 times) so i reboot and after a reboot this happend...
The problem is that i cant enter Xrecovery
Phone can boot but when i try to unlock it - it gives me errors...
I will post a movie on youtube later and post it here
Thanks all

he is newbe and desperate
we all have been in his position sometime
lets wish him good luck
next thing he learn, is to use search

for all what I can gather, he hasn't actually "Bricked" the phone. his SD card seems to be doing funny things though.
I recommend you find a good SD card reader and plug it onto the PC first and check it.

Bad update, flash a froyo sbf from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
I recommend you stay on froyo so you can install CM7 too
If this doesn't fix it (make sure its right sbf for your type of defy) Then its probably a radio fault that needs repair, but as it worked before it should be fine, its just a bad update, hope this helps

So, your phone is simlocked and when you flashed a different SBF, you have deleted the files that have (probably) previously been installed to unlock it. There are some custom ROM's out there that can simunlock Defy (one of them is MS2Ginger4.0). If you don't know what you're doing and can not handle it yourself, I could flash a custom, simunlocking ROM for you if you don't mind shipping it to Bulgaria and back (I assume you are in the UK).
P.S. There is also a chance that your sim card slot is busted and it can't read the SIM card.

Well i followed the tutorials and tried to install the sbf software and RSD lite said all ok (finished) now i cant switch the phone on :crying: nothing happens now if i reconnect it via usb nothing/nill/nada!!.....It's a pity as i did quite like the phone but i think its time to toss it into the bin
This is the SBF file i installed JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA028.0R_USAJORDANRTGB_P026_A007_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz

If you flashed a froyo SBF last, you must flash at this time also a froyo SBF.
The Flash of an eclair SBF will end in a black screen, cause froyo SBF are CG4 (Bootloader 4) and eclair SBF are CG3 (Bootloader 3).
The Bootloader must be equal or higher then the last SBF you flashed.
Try this SBF:

its the tmobile froyo SBF Britain.

Like the others said, don't bin it, it ain't dead! You just flashed a lower CGXX.smg version ROM, which ends in a black screen. Press and hold Vol+ and then Pwr button, till you get into Bootloader mode, then connect it to RSD Lite and flash CEE Froyo (JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_)

[Q] V2.3 upgrade error and wifi error

Hello,
yesterday i upgraded my x5 u8800 pro from 2.2.2 to 2.3.5 (Kernel V2.6.35.7 and U8800V100R001C00B526G001) after 2-3 tries. After i switched on my phone i noticed that my wifi isn't working. I searched many forums and i saw that other people had the same problem too with v2.3.5. I tried everything but i can't fix it.
Another problem is that i can't upgrade my phone from 2.3.5 to 4.0. After many tries i managed to start the procedure of step 1 (format the sd card put the dload file in and press - + and power on). Most of the times after pressing the 3 buttons AT THE SAME TIME my freaking phone simple opens and asks for my PIN. Any ideas?

As I know , this firmware is not Oversea. Oversea Normal fw is: U8800V100R001C00B521_Oversea_Normal . This happened to me. No WiFi anymore. How could I revert this installation from B526G001 to 2.2.2(stock ROM). From there to 2.3.5 Oversea Normal and then ICS.
The main problem for me is how to return to stock ROM?
Thanks.

did u guys check ur wifi mac adress? go to settings about phone status. if it's 00:00:00:00:00 then u need to change it with a terminal emulator (requires root)

I suceeded
I was warned to choose ROM for 2.3 , which ends with 512. I took ROM
U8800Pro V100R001C00B512G001(Gingerbread) Firmware has to be 512!!!!
The most important advice for me was
Make a “dload” directory on SD card root directory , Copy the “Step 1\
dload\UPDATE.APP” and “Step 1\ dload\UPDATE_g.APP” to SD card
“dload\UPDATE_g.APP[”.
I copied UPDATE.APP to SD card in dload folder but didn't rename the file into UPDATE_g.APP!!!! I didn't understand the instructions corectly.
After that Settings/Storage/Software Upgrade
The next step is without renaming UPDATE.APP.
I didn't need step 3, because I don't speak Chineese.
After that relevation everything went smoothly and problemless.
After that upgrade to 4.0 went ok without any problem.

I did it
