Already have you posted your ask in the forum of the galaxy s?

thanks a million 4 being interested...... I have posted my question there n havent gotten a favourable reply..... Well i will try again 2 update with kies n leave it 4 as long aspossible n if nothing happens, then i guess i will hv 2 do a hard reset n try again...... I really dont want 2 use odin as someone suggested in d forum..... Even though i formatted my sgs, i still see all ,y application icons but cant use a whole lot of them cos their program files arent there..... When i try again and i cant update and i do a factory reset n still cant update..... I will definitely let u know

just decided to show u some of the screen shots of my kies and the screen i get stuck up in

i have finally done a factory reset and am still facing the same problem ................i think its just hard luck.........
well, something funny i thought after a factory reset the phone was gonna go back 2 its original state..........i dont think i remember seeing that superuser icon when i bought the phone...........does that mean am still rooted cos i still see d superuser icon...........maybe i need 2 unroot then if am still rooted?????????? what is the best way to unroot ............am just confused

ouch!!!! your phone rooted?¿?¿?ensure you because if you have the device rooted you can´t update via kies...
i seen your screenshots and the firmware that you have seems the factory WEE OFFICIAL RUU for SGS. seems well for to update it
for to know if you have your device rooted..
1--download TERMINAL EMULATOR
2--put in the terminal emulator (write):
"su" (enter)
then your device may to turn to you a warn of superuser permission and you must to acept... then the blue console shoult return to you "#"
ensure of it please and post
EDITid you buy the telephone new Or you did someone sell it? if you was buy the device new, its imposible that its rooted

Thanks again i think ama try n unroot it but i just hp i can do that d software u r talking about, does it unroot????? So u mean i cant update thru kies if am rooted?

Try using a different computer. I could not get it to work on Vista but my old Xp computer did it with no problems

Thanks again i think ama try n unroot it but i just hp i can do that d software u r talking about, does it unroot????? So u mean i cant update thru kies if am rooted?

maybe it´s the better solution because if you are SURE about you have the factory official rom, unrooted and another security of the device not disabled its strange that don´t obtain permission for to flash

First of all, I can barely understand your situation. If you want people to help you for free, you need to elaborate more and talk in a nicer manner.
Second, if your internet was not working, you should see if the right apn is added in your settings>wireless and networks>mobile network (i think). You can simply google your service provider and type apn. E.g Telus APN for android. and input that in settings.
Finally, you could try charging your battery, and flashing it again later.

First, rsdlite will reboot the phone automatically after it flashes the sbf file. You should not pull out the phone before that. Go to and-developers.com and flash a non-service sbf which will wipe everything. Any 2.2.1 rom will do. Then flash VR and try flashing a custom rom. And have patience. Flashing is not a job to be done in haste.

There should be some mod for the forum that would translate 'normal languages' into this something. Would be hilarious to read.
/offtopic

I think I read somewhere a way to make the phone boot on recovery mode automatically, may be your phone is doing that for some reason, you could google on it...
Personally I don't like to use the .sbf because always something could go wrong like an electric fail, that are not that common but by murphy's law it happends to me two times, flashing a nokia 6300 but the firmware was almost installed and nothing go wrong and flashing a bios that was on a gigabyte motherboard and those have a secondary bios for recovery, after that I allays use an UPS (battery)

He is talking in your language - piši kao što govoriš ha ha ha

I think you will have to get it repaired. You can try to re-flash an Eclair or Froyo SBF then flash a rom again, then apply the appropriate baseband and try. If not, I have no idea as to what the problem could be and I would think getting it repaired is your only viable option. Also, if you want to be able to communicate to a larger audience, go to www.translate.google.com and type whatever you want to say in your native language, then click translate to english and paste it here. Good luck man.
Edit: You could try a new OR but I don't see how that would change anything. Might help though

Edit 2: /off topic Muf123, making fun or mocking someone will not help with anything. This man just needs help fixing his milestone, and if he can not communicate it perfectly, you shouldn't be mocking him, but helping him.

jesus... roflmao.... (i'm sorry, cant help it.)
i don't know what the kid did but this sounds like he flashed an unsigned kernel.
worked first time then after first reboot, won't boot anymore.
are you sure you have a853 ? cause there are other versions of milestone, (XT720)

what kind of rom do u use? b/c i got same thing too, but, u have to use the right theme that match to the rom version. also, your phone need to restart all over again back to stock rom, then, flash the rom again, etc., and last, the theme.

sounds like you have flashed a rom that is not compatable with your kernel. You may have to flash the correct kernel.
Also, the rom you flashed may be for unlocked bootloaders and you havent unlocked yours yet (Just a guess, but I bet you havent).
Flash this to get back to stock

FOUND - Need 55.1.27.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03 India retail firmware

Hi,
I have an Indian Atrix 2. I recently rooted it and un-installed some system applications like Email and Gmail etc. using Titanium Backup without taking a backup. After doing it everything works fine but I am getting force closes every now and then with messaging app.
I am wondering if any Indian users here can post Indian Retail firmware backup so that I can update my phone back to factory state. I tried factory reset but that didn't help either.
Firmware version is 55.1.27.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03, android 2.3.6.
UPDATE: Download "5.5.1-EDEM-27-SEARET_cfc.xml.zip" from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
That's what I was looking for

If you tell me how, I'd be happy to help. I'm not yet rooted though.

Run the bootstrap, reboot into recovery, and make a backup.. The system image will be stored on your sd card.
This is how one would do it with the US version, hope it all works for the Indian version..
Note that this will copy your system and data in it's current state... it won't give you the stock FXZ that you are looking for.. but you might be able to get clever and grab only the stock apps you need and push them to your device..

Just thought of this, not sure if it will work - have someone with an your version of stock rooted A2 make a titanium backup of all the apps and data, then make a CWM backup as briefly described above, and get you a copy the backup file. Then, put it on your sd card in the clockworkmod/backup folder, use Titanium Backup and the "Extract from Nandroid" option. Choose the critical system apps that you need and restore (maybe the apps only, no data).
Actually, maybe you could skip the CWM part entirely and just copy the stock Titanium Backup files into your TB folder on your sd card..
Maybe somebody here knows a bit more about this? And can't you just get Gmail from the Play Store?

Thanks, been a bit busy. This is exactly how it needs to be done. I have mine rooted, so I can use CWM to restore the backup taken this way. I would really appreciate the help.
I flashed all the custom roms but all are AT&T based, have lots of restrictions, like network selection doesn't work, tethering doesn't work, *#*#4636#*#* menu doesn't work.
This could be of help to other people too. If AT&T roms work on mine than I believe there's no difference in hardware on our's or US devices, so US people can flash it too to have a real android device with no restrictions whatsoever. And if a developer can create a custom rom based on this that would be wonderful.

Will appreciate the help if you could do this for me. Its a little complicated process but once you follow the steps it is fairly easy, hardly took me 15 minutes to root. And please backup your apps after rooting with Titanium Backup and then factory reset and take a CWM backup here, that way none of your personal information will be there in backup file.
I know I am asking for something that will take some time.... I am around if you need help with any of the steps, do let me know.

Sorry mate, I didnt find what I was looking for so I gave it to service center. And they are processing a replacement for me. But just now I found this http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
Go to your phone's settings, about phone and see if you find below information listed there:
edison_emara-user 2.3.6 5.5.1-EDEM-27 70 release-keys2012-01-20 19:57 Off.Bld LUD_EDISON_R1E_PATCH_23_120120_1943 crh1090280_M570_PC_CARD_RAINB
If I remember our is same version as above. If it is, go to above link and download "5.5.1-EDEM-27-ASIAOPS_cfc.xml.zip" and flash it using RSD Lite. And if you find it risky, just extract system.img from this zip file and go to fastboot mode (vol up+vol down and power on, select AP Fastboot) and in cmd type fastboot flash system system.img and it should flash system image only to your phone.
This should make it work, I wish I had my phone with me. Try if you are comfortable and understand the process well. Good Luck

And if you can, could you please upload a screenshot of Setting - About Phone screen here? So that I can match that information with other versions uploaded on that link, we may find retail Indian firmware, may be...

Ok guys, good news. I had a backup of my phone before giving it to service center. N I confirm that "5.5.1-EDEM-27-SEARET_cfc.xml.zip" file given at http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php is the Indian Retail Version everyone is looking for. I just matched the versions with my backup and this is exact same copy we need. So guys flash it without worries...

I am sure you can. Hardware is same. I had Indian version and when I screwed it without taking the backup, I flashed AT&T stock ROM and it worked flawlessly so Indian ROM should work on yours too. Only difference is, Indian ROM is not restrictive like AT&T, its what non carrier branded handset should have, everything works. I would suggest try it. I don't think there will be an issue, and even if you come across any issue, you still have stock AT&T FXZ/SBF to flash... So nothing to loose in my opinion.

I am sure you can. Hardware is same. I had Indian version and when I screwed it without taking the backup, I flashed AT&T stock ROM and it worked flawlessly so Indian ROM should work on yours too. Only difference is, Indian ROM is not restrictive like AT&T, its what non carrier branded handset should have, everything works. I would suggest try it. I don't think there will be an issue, and even if you come across any issue, you still have stock AT&T FXZ/SBF to flash... So nothing to loose in my opinion.

I assume you have motorola usb drivers installed, could be found on Motorola support site easily (cant tell you the link now, at work right now).
Then just wait for firmware download to finish. Install RSD Lite and run it. Turn off your phone. Now hold Vol Up+Vol Down together and press power key, you will see 4 options, select AP Fastboot. Now connect your phone to PC using cable. Now the RSD Lite screen should show your device listed in the white blank box. After that click on "..." icon on RSD Lite and select the firmware file you downloaded. After all this, just hit the Start in RSD window and wait patiently for few minutes. Once it is done your phone will restart and boot into your new firmware. That's it... Enjoy
Do let me know if you need any further help. Right now I am planning to go home, will only be able to reply tomorrow morning hopefully.
Sorry, cant mail you right now, no access to personal email sites at work

It didn't work? Hmmm... I don't have my phone to try anything new yet, will get a replacement next week. Anyways, in my other thread here in General Section, xda Dev "cogeary" is working on a custom ROM based on Indian Retail ROM with additional features taken from Chinese ROM, like call recording, spam SMS/Call blocking. So its just few days till we start getting real good ROM's here. So keep visiting here.
Facebook, yeah. But I don't add strangers
Just kidding, will add you, though I hardly use FB, just have it to keep in touch with old friends.

"starting services" does not stop...on boot up

Hi all , just joined xda-developers but i spend straight 14 hours trying to fix this DAMM photon q yesterday
all i got in the end is a normal boot after following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001108
BUT at the startup , the screen comes like for a millisecond and then this " starting services" logo doesn't go at all...it just continues forever
any help would be appreciate .

Can you explain what your setup is, and exactly what you've done to get where you are?
For example, you were bootloader official unlocked, on CWM and asa-10, etc.
Thanks.

Still doesn't tell me what you've done, what state the phone is actually in, etc.
I thought my question was pretty straightforward. Unless you provide more detail, I don't know how anyone will be able to help you.
Is this a stolen device? Why is it not qualified for the official unlock? Either way, how does that play into what's wrong with the device?
Did you have custom recovery on it? Give some details!!!

i think i am a noob at explaining things but let me try again...i don't know the exact history of this phone , my friend gave it to me yesterday and its not stolen ... he paid his insurance every month but then who know what he did... i have no idea why its not qaulified for the official unlock probably because he bought a new phone on the same line so the company deactivated this phone..
ok so when i got the phone yesterday , the bootlocker logo appeared and i was unable to do anything ...then i installed CWMrecovery and it was successfull and then i installed every possible rom available online as far as i know but same thing happened with all of them ..... successfully installed , it reboots and little square thing saying " starting services..." and then it does not go away at all ... but at the same time i am able to bring the top menu ..and go to the settings and everything from there but i can't go to home screen since ...it is black and is occupied by "starting services.."
so finally i came accross this thread for master reboot and i followed it ....i installed TWRrecovery and made backup and then restored a backup providers by that guy ... i flashed new stock recovery after that... so following his thread , he told that if all went successful ... it will return to original stock
and now i am at the same screen as previous... " starting serivces..." my friend told me he tired to root it and he messed up really bad ..so i believe there is still some old files in the internal storage from previous rom versions.... but i deleted everything......wiped, data facotry reset and then
installed a clean backup provided by the thread starter...... and everyone else had success except me ...
i hope i answered your questions if not .. i would aprreciate if you tell me what exactly you want to know ..... thanks

i also tired every US ROMS from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/asanti_c/list.php
and all of them showed " starting services.." after i installed them from sdcard using CWMrecovery.

we have full RSD lite backups now to restore a phone can be found in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095536 i think some xml editing is required tho but it explained it in the thread. that will erase everything on the phone and restore it to complete stock minus unlocked bootloader

You have to extract the files and edit the xml file. And you use rsdlite on your pc phone connected thru usb to write it to the phone

Reactivate in Sprint? What do you mean? Only Sprint can tell you whether the phone can be activated or not. Call them. Not sure why you would even worry about that if it's not stolen.....

Ok I think I will go in store and see what happens...
