Hey there!
My gf has a Samsung Galaxy Y and it suddenly started receiving multiple duplicates of every SMS sent to her.
The phone is completely unmodified and stock in every possible way.
3 days ago the phone was sent to phone shop for service and it seems they flashed it.
Today the phone was received and it still has the same problem.
Network operator claims they see no problems on their side..
What can i do?
Hmm unusual problem
Well I admit I don't know the reason y this is happening but I know flashing stock rom via Odin will help if it is a software defect
Hit thanks if I helped
No wait try a factory reset and see if that doesn't help then flash stock rom via odin

i suppose the factory reset was the phone shop's way because we received the phone back with
no installed apps and phonebook/sms/everything deleted..
i will try Odin as soon as i get my hands on the phone, any good tutorials for it?

im afraid im pretty new to android ( gt540 is my first smartphone ) but anytime i updated, everything went ok, in fact yours is the first time i heard of a crash while updating so i cant give you much info but your in the right place, im sure the devs can figure something for you. just try remove the battery and then plug into your pc. and its not a problem replying just wish i could help.
well, did you try with the battery removed?
yes i did nd there is nothing
plz any one help in that
plz some one tell me how to make abootloader to it i have another lg gt540 i want to know if i can use it to repair the bootloader for this dead phone
The problem is theres noway u can acces inside the phone memory to patch bootloader. Go to lg waranty and tell them this happened when u were updating phone, dont tell them that pc crashed, tell them u updatet through lgsupport tool too, not through kdz updater they should fix it for u.
Sent from my GT540
thx for replying i will call them tomoorow i hope they will fix it for me... i want to ask if some one has passed with the same problem b4
Goto Emergency Mode, and upgrade from KDZ program. In KDZ program, you must setting Phone Mode to CS_Emergency. And flash agan.

can any one tell me what should i do
Remove battery press volume - or + I can't remember try two options, then plug in usb.
You should see blue screen with DOWNLOAD or EMERGENCY MODE text.
i tried all keys combination nothing work
my mobile internet went dead after flashing quarx rom (I did it wrong btw...), but everything else worked fine.
I couldn't get mobile internet back on track no matter what (it was disabled in quick settings when I flashed quarx), I even tried factory reset and flashing the baltic rom. during the flashing, the kdz updater gave me an error close to the end, and my phone became stuck at the android screen.
even though I have CWR installed, so I could flash it again, I sent it to LG claiming I was updating through their website and since my phone doesn't start. I didn't tell them anything about the mobile internet not working. Hopefully they'll clean the phone completely and that will fix it.
I'll be picking up my phone after work today, I'll let you know how it went.
Same thing Happened to me n almost **** my pants for killing my brand new phone..
follow these steps
1. volume +or-(i dont remember) +camera n power on. it should turn on n say downloading mode.
2. update( you can use kdz updater, it probably wont crash this time but even if gets stuck just w8 for it)
3. after updating, remove the usb cable n turn on the phone, hopefully it would work
4. ENJOY ( N THINK TWICE BEFORE EFFING WITH THE PHONE, )
i am not sure about the keys for emergency/downloading mode(i think it was vol-) GOOGLE IT IF KEYS DONT WORK.
Put to microwave on 2 sec without battery and send do service
my service provider fixed my phone in 3 days without any issues, they flashed the t-mobile branded 2.1 on it. went home and now I have the open europe with fastboot and cwr.
so if all else fails, just send it to LG or your provider.
cheers!
Hello everyone,
Just like a lot of people, I want to flash my cellphone so I can use custom roms etc. But I have a weird problem and I have no idea what is causing it or what I'm doing wrong.
When I have selected the BOOT, PHONE, PDA and CSC file from the latest december 2.2 froyo firmware, I try to press start but then it says "Please connect phones!". My COM1 also stays white and does NOT say "OK".
As you can see, Kies recognizes my cellphone but Odin doesnt. I have everything selected from the latest firmware (december). I also tried connecting from a different usb-slot but that didn't help either
Hopefully someone will be able to help me. ^^
edit: can't post link to the picture since I dont have 8 posts
Switch off ur phone....
Press Vol down + Home + Switch ON button
Ur phone must now be in download mode
n u will be able to flash
Happy Flashing
omg! I was searching 2 hours yesterday on how to fix it and then gave up and now I found out its so easy *sigh* anyway, many many thanks! I'm flashing as we speak!
edit: sweet! Flashed succesfuly! Its 2.2
edit: nvm, did something stupid and have it already fixed ^^
Hi,
Today I wanted to update my Galaxy S via Kies and I get "Update Fail". From then my phone won't start, won't boot, won't do anything. On screen appears a phone with exclamation mark and a PC. I tried vol down + home + power but that symbol
won't disappear.
You can see the exact symptomes if you will search on youtube "Re: Samsung galaxy s upgrade FROYO 2.2 fail ! ! HELPPP "
Any solutions?
I would be grateful

In Kies select "tools", "emergence firmware recovery"....follow on screen instructions
This happened to me more than once.
Just pull out your battery and push the powerbutton for 3 seconds.
Now put the battery in, start in downloadmode and flash via odin
Time for a custom rom if you ask me...
You will never look back trust me...
Custom ROMS are always problematic and the OP is not asking about custom or stock roms..
@gabi Whenever such a situation occurs, just reinsert the battery and enter the phone to download mode and flash again and make sure your USB connection is solid and you are flashing with the correct files.
First of all.. that's a load of crap..
2nd.. he is using kies, not odin .. so what correct files?
Facepalm.

I think crap is in your brain
We know that he was using KIES but as Timmey806 advised him in the 3rd post to use Odin for convenience, So I was talking about Odin and the firmware files you dumb-bell.

Also you are able to flash a stock firmware with odin but the OP has to find the right firmeware on his own.
I just gave a very usefull tip ;-)
@OP: Did it work for you?
Hello guys this is my first post and please consider me as a beginner.
I have a SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 international version. I believe the solution I will be posting will work for all types if they get the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please selected recovery mode in Kies & try again".
I downloaded the file attached to the post (insecure kernel).
Then with help of odin v3.04 the phone in download mode I installed the above insecure kernel. By doing this I got the firmware issue away then I put the phone to recovery mode by pressing the volume up button and menu button and power button and selected the option factory reset and wiped or deleted the entire data. Once that was done I was able to install the latest Jellybean 4.1 official release using odin and my phone is back to life. I am so happy. I belive it will work for you also..
Thanks.

Disconnect the USB, remove the battery, put it back and get into recovery and see if it gets into download mode. If you get the "recovery screen" again, connect to kies and try the emergency recovery. Irrespective of what happens, retry getting into download mode again after that. I had encountered the same problem during and update after around 62% was written to the phone and was able to get into download mode again.
Never use kies. Always use Odin, or Mobile Odin.

hi ,
First ,im not sure what you mean with "start ". your phone,is it commpletely "dead " ?
if so have you plugged it into wallsocket/charged ? and then tried again ?
Can you boot up your phone /do you see Samsung logo ?
What happens when you do ...power /volume down/home button ...?
If you can boot and see Samsung logo, what i can suggest( at this stage )
is to search for video on XDA /or Youtube .
how to enter download mode ..
eg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-zvwUS6as4
This should give you idea about download mode .

If your Phone is able to go in Recovery Mode(Press Powerbutton+Volume UP+HOME to go in RecoveryMode) Either its Stock Recovery Or Custom recovery....
Wipe/Format every thing......
Than try to Go in Download mode if Suceeded than you should Try to Download this & Flash VIA Odin its Stock Touchwiz Lollipop Multi CSC firmware....
or Download Your Rom from Sammobile Here
I hope your problem will be solved

hi ,
well if you can see Samsung logo ,that good !!
your phone seems to be soft bricked..( not really very big problem ,don't worry ..!!!! )
Only way to fix , is to flash your current stock ROM .
if you prefer Kies well ,i stated in above post that i don't think much of Kies .
One point i would like to point out.
Download mode ...
first pull battery ..then insert battery
if you hold buttons ..home +power + volume ......you get to a triangle warning........then press volume up again ..download mode (you will see same as screenshot( its an old foto of my Note 2 , but similar ) ....download mode ..Green Android man ..note if you want to get out of this ..pull battery )
good luck
post note
i have had same problem as you in past once or twice...!
fixed it with reflashing correct stock rom .
So just try to think positively ,it really very small issue .
THanks DUDE!!!
