I've got a potential fix for bricked Galaxy Note 2's. It involves porting the GS3 recovery from SD to the GN2. This is not a full repair, only a fix to get the GN2 in operations. I'd like to work with someone who has the ability to open their Galaxy Note, take some pictures, hook up wires, and do some hardware hacking with me.
This method of recovering GN2's will be the standard for recovering from bad bootloaders once we're done.
Adam,
I think I hard bricked my Galaxy Note II. Any help you can provide would be great.
Hey man.. I tried for prob 2 days with my developer to fix my phone to no avail, before sending it away through my phone provider, 2 weeks went by and they called telling me its going to cost 350 $ to fix it.. to which I replied no thank you and I am now waiting for my phone to return... any help you could provide would be so greatly appreciated man..!!!!
Hi Bro!
Here are some pictures mainboard GN2
next
you need to do what to do?
thanks!

What happened to ur phonw.how does it bricked?
As a side note, didn't know where else to post...
Would anyone be willing to look at my Huawei mercury... basically, cricket OTA'd a brick update and I can't get the device to do anything. Can't flash any rom or recovery/save anything to the phone/adjust any settings/etc. Basically the phone is unwriteable... ultimately i would like to get it up again so I can use it as a remote storage and appletv/xbmc remote (if nothing else) but can't get it to do anything... I'll send you whatever you need to try and create a solution for me with a fair donation... As I even have friends I could sell this too for a few bucks lol

I'm getting it today maybe.
Phone's similar to Galaxy S 3 mini but not identical. Screen is smaller, dimension is little different, no NFC, different screen type, and no gorilla.
What I wanna know is if extended battery for S3mini is compatible with T599.
recover bricked sgh t-599
hi all
i have tried to root my galaxy exhibit t599, it is running on android 4.12.
i used odin 3.04 to flash cwm version recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.7-golden.tar, than i tried to boot into the cwm recovery but it didnt work so i connected to the phone via adb and ran "adb reboot recovery". now my phone keeps on restarting, seems like it cant get into the recovery but will keep on reboot to try.
the only other access i can have to the phone is download mode, any help would be appriciated
thanks
Why is there no support for the t599?
Is there a plan for a t599 forum?
I would also love to see a forum for the T599 (Samsung Galaxy Exhibit in US, Samsung Galaxy Ace II e in Canada) myself too.
Here are some known specs:
ST-Ericsson NovaThor U8420 (w/ ARM Mali 400)
2G GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
Android 4.1.2
4 GB internal storage
1 GB of RAM
microSD card support
3.8" screen w/ 480x800 resolution
1500 mAh removable battery
Other than the smaller screen size, different radio band support, lack of NFC and smaller internal storage, looks like it's nearly identical to the international Samsung Galaxy S 3 Mini. Uses the same SoC.

I just got this phone. I think it's called Samsung Galaxy Exhibit, T599. I'm also trying to root the phone but i'm having problems iwth it. I dl'ed the zerg_rush_root.rar file and ran the .bat file. But it kept giving me errors like location not found, unable to mount, etc... I want to know if i'd be able to reboot into recovery, then run the zerg rush.rar file from there and if it would work that way. Anyone had any success rooting this phone yet? If so, how'd u do it? I'd really like to know cause i want to erase all the bloatware.
Thanks

I just got one too, only about a gig available for apps so to be able to use something like ICS SD Binder would be nice.
The zerg_rush_root.rar did not work with my T599, I think it's just for the Exhibit II 4G
The naming of these phones does not help with searching!!
Exhibit 4G (Galaxy S variant) 2011
Exhibit II 4G T679 (Galaxy W variant) 2011
Galaxy Exhibit 4G (software update of the Exhibit II 4G) 2012
Galaxy Exhibit T599 (S III Mini variant) (this phone) 2013
The cydia impactor root method works on the t599. I put an ext4 partition on my sd card and am successfully using the link2sd app from the play store.
You can follow this thread in S3 mini forum for now. [System Dump] SGH-T599 (4.1.2) JZO54K.T599UVAMB5
You'll find a systemdump, rootmethod and original recovery to flash with Odin. Good news is also that Triangle Away works to reset custom binary count.
Hopefully someone is trying to build a custom recovery for it as well.
Thanks everyone for the info. Finally have my t599 rooted.
Any rom for this phone yet ?? T599

Help Unlocking rooted SGH-T599N
BRAND NOOB*
I've got the Metro PCS sgh-t599n
was rooted by my ex before he split*And Iv been trying to unlock it for almost a month since by myself. And I don't know what I'm doing.
So far, the only thing I was able to unlock was a virus onto my step moms laptop. Very nice way to say thanks to her. SMH. (My dad was able to fix that but not without being super mad =/)
Someone on here must know how I can unlock it??I don't have one of those box thigs but I can connect it to my computer with USB.*It is locked to metro PCS but I already have the T mobile sim card (and like a total rookie) I activated (and paid for) prepaid service through them 3 wks ago... Sigh.*Guess I was a little over confident I would be able to figure this out lol I have done soooo much reading on it its insane
I have already canceled my metro service and didn't have them for 3 months prior, so getting my network sim unlock code from Metro isn't an option.*Also, (like a big giant noob) I thought I would be cute and try to guess the unlock pin when I had some time to kill one day*SMH.*Now I may have made it to where I will need a PUK code also
*IDK... That's probably obvious tho*lol.*If anyone can help me with any advice or information, or even just point me in the right direction you would definitely be my hero. *This is the longest I have ever been away from my 6 yr old and although we Skype often, if I am not home (or somewhere with wif ) he has no way to reach me atm, even tho I'm paying for service.*Boooo. Lol. Someone help the newbie! Please and thank you =)*

Whats up guys Im new to the forums Im not sure if this is the right spot for this topic but iv just only recently figured out about rooting. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 from Verizon, could any specify me to a page or something where I can find out how to root this phone or to files that I need to root this phone. What are the perks of rooting I already know some, plus will this void my warranty, and is it true that if u unroot your phone before sending it in to your carrier for whatever reason they wont find out you rooted your phone? Thanks for the help to whoever replies.

thanks.. but this is to backup and restore
i am looking for a repair for a non backed up EFS.
i didnt backup my EFS initianlly, and the EFS is corrupt and need to repair it.
otherwise, if it is possible, i am looking for someone please who has an SM-N915S who can backup their EFS for me and help me by adding my IMEI or whatever else is needed to get my phone working
2 weeks now, and no where to go. (my phone is from korea, so sending it would be a waste of time, since i cant reach anyone there anyways), so i read somewhere on the web that it can be fixed if someone has the same exact model, with a good EFS backup, then they can modify the files by changing the IMEI number stored in the backup and other stuff, and thats it.

Actually I don't know how to do it either. I found out about that way after doing 3 days of research. I appreciate you offering to help but it's the how to make the changes. The efs backup is easy. Tons of apps can do that. But to edit some files and change the imei and mac address and stuff. Requires someone who has the tools and knows how to do it. I don't sadly. Wish I did.

If all else fails, search for a JTAG Riff Box owner. It can repair some hard bricked devices and I believe IMEI. If it is not yet compatible with your device, unable to repair IMEI or owner lacks knowledge, then Samsung is your only hope.

Nobody in their right mind should give you their device IMEI.
It's unique to the device and a way for the carrier and authorities to identify a device, particularly if it's been cloned, lost or stolen and possibility used for illegal purposes. Tampering with or modifying (unlike repairing) a device's IMEI is illegal.
I have only heard of one (ex) XDA member "Odia" being able to repair a corrupted IMEI. I think it was a Samsung Galaxy S2 or similar. He did it remotely via TeamViewer.
Repair is the only legal way and any other method should not be openly encouraged in these forums.
Best of luck.

Thanks. But I never asked anyone for imei. All what I was asking if anyone knows how to do and I would provide him the imei to modify their efs backup. So basically deleting their imei from their backup and putting mine. Not planning or wanting anyone's imei or anything regarding their phone. But thanks for the input.

Samsung's are one of the easier phones to work with. I don't think you will have any problems. Just stick with the one guide and don't get overwhelmed by all the other threads. If you end up needing help, just let me know.
Good luck i was in a similar situation with a s5 but the imei was blocked , couldn't be used on any network with in Australia even after i flashed new firmware.

1st guy who i paid and bricked the phone no solution after
+880 1911-954639 on whatsapp with service name > 𝐆𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭
result bootloop in recovery
2nd
guy i found them on telegram @Arhaangsmm , he said that will flash the rom, after paying 55usd, some else tried 2 roms to flash did not work and he lost patience and he went away
result after that phone was completely bricked
Finally i sent to oppo service and was 2x cheaper to flash the rom.
I think there is a lesson here, never trust a remote gsm unless is your friend
