return to stock, USB port borken?

As the title suggests, my USB has not been working for about two weeks, and I finally have time to look into this more. Seems nothing is working... tried drivers from PDANet, different cables, different PC everything. It was working one day and than not the next. Anyhow, is there a way I can return to stock, unrooted so I can get this repaired? Should I take the chance and bring it to Sprint anyway? I do have insurance.... perhaps that's the best way?
Thanks for help!

My best guess will be to boot onto recovery and try to restore from a backup but I'm not entirely sure (since it's for warranty) as u may need to lock the root again and I don't know if that's possible without the pc.

You can download the stock ROM to your sdcard directory using your phone's browser and flash the ROM on CWM.

If you have DropBox app, you can upload the stock ROM to www.dropbox.com and download it using your DropBox app.

Yeah, I was trying to do this yesterday, but I every download link I found has been closed.... any the link posted here doesnt include the sprint version.
man, this sucks.

mine is even worse.i cant bring it to repairs.cuz i hafe the US version of the nexus s. and im in europe..
i imported mine when it got released.

im going to post this in the Nexus S 4G development forum... seems like it's a little more active with more technical details.
I'll try and remember to post back here with what I've been able to do.

DO THIS.
seriously i had the same problem a fortnight ago and thought it was the internal sd, i formated it (didnt work) so i wiped the phone to reflash it. thats when i realized my horrible mistake; but lo and behold the usb was working again so i was able to put a rom on there and flash it. if a wipe and reflash doesnt work try a format first (remember to redownload a rom before you wipe the phone though)

No more network with every usim

Hello guys!
I got a Samsung GT-I5800 for few months but seems I have a big problem from some days actually.
I was using it when I suddenly lost the network coverage. Reboot, factory recovery, tried other carrier usims however it did not start to work again.
It doesn't work nor with automatic and manual network choice nor with enabled and disabled packed data whereas, if I try to send a message or make a call, an error popup appears saying "Data network not available".
I have never performed a root flash or something else so it is always been original factory.
here some info:
Firmware version 2.2
Baseband versions I5800XXJP4
Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number FROYO.XWJPI
I'm very glad if someone can help me to solve this awful problem given that the device is unusable

Try to add APN(search in the Internet for it) to your phone(Wireless and Network>Mobile networks>APN)

I already know what it is and it is configured (for my Internet plan)...
the real problem is that it cannot take the network signal anymore...there is a blue symbol like a circle with a line instead of normal signal bars

Btw the IMEI on the phone is equal to one on the box.
....and now! If it is this the case, what about the solution?

Check your IMEI by *#06#. If it is all zeros then it is corrupted. If it's old one then it is fine
You can try disabling then enabling flight mode. Wiping data or dalvik cache. Good Luck!
PS: Backup your efs folder to PC using Root exlorer. It contains IMEI and must NOT be deleted. Just for safety advice!

thank you so much for the support
anyway the imei was one of the first checks, it's the correct and old one.
what do you mean with wipe data and dalvik cache? isn't it the same of a factory restore? (factory restored lots of time but nothing happens)

Did you tried zerofill? You can easily find by searching this forum.
Also have you tried putting the SIM in other mobiles? Do they work?
BTW, I know that feel bro. I know the feel to live without calling/sms for few days

of course every SIMs work in other mobiles. It isn't a problem about how I feel and so on. It stopped to work and bye bye no more mobile phone just a paperweight...
I had a search about zerofill. is it useful to delete everything, right? I didn't get how flash it and re-flash the original firmware...by kies?

You'll need ODIN for that to flash the ROM. [Make sure you read instructions]
It will wipe all phone data so take backup from Titanium backup first.

It doesn't matter the phone is empty due to several factory restores in order to try to solve the situation
Ok, thank you guy, I'll try to search some instructions. I'll give a feedback here...hoping it s gonna be positive
p.s. I found a zerofill G3.tar on this forum. Is it good for my galaxy GT-I5800?

Yes, It wipes everything in phone memory. All the previous traces. It might solve your problem.
PS: Or Flash any other firmware. It always works.

last 2 questions
so, zerofill to erase EVERYthing and the I have to download my original ROM to flash it?
the zerofill tar contains 3 files .rfs: cache, datafs and factoryfs. Do i have to flash these by odin? sorry guy but i don't find any tutorial about odin and zerofill

It looks you have never flashed a ROM in ODIN. In that case I would say forget zerofill and just flash a firmware you want. Because you'll need to flash a ROM after flashing zerofill too. I recommend Custom ROM as it is fast and more features, it will void your warranty though. But you can always flash stock ROM to get your warranty back.
If you want to go Stock, then you can find stock ROM at samfirmware.com. Download anyone from there. Post here when you finish downloading. I'll post the instructions.

I don't know what i can try now...

"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.

bootloader is not qaulified for official unlock... and its my friends phone so he gave to me since he was unable to use it.. i thought i could give it life again.. so...i don't what esle info you want but i did EXACTLY what that thread told me to do... and still the that thing does not go ..

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.

[Q] Problem with touchscreen after unrooting

Hello guys,
So... I have samsung GT-S7710 (Galaxy Xcover2).
I had it rooted with prerooted odexed FW (from this post)
So this is the OK part :laugh: .... everything was working fine.
Then, to claim my waranty, i have unrooted it...so I've reseted the counter and flashed it with FW I've backed up from my phone before rooting.
So now for the wierd part...everything was ok, booted my phone, everything was working, then restarted it, and all of the sudden touchscreen stoped working
I've read about bricked touchscreens, but mine worked for some time..
So I was thinking now...should I try and flash official FW for my phone, rather than backed up one ?
Or is there any thing else to do ? Or even...did maybe touchscreen went to *khm* ?
Thank you guys for your time you spent reading & hopefully anwsering this

One more thing... I've bought my phone in a electronic store (no carier involved). Should I flash it with FW for my country ? What if phone had any other FW on when it was new ?
EDIT:
Just realised....I've flashed rooted FW on my phone...which has increased the counter of custom flashes... To reset the counter I need root permisions...but how if I cant even unlock my phone.
I probably cant use [email protected], because I've hard reseted the phone, which means that Usb debug is disabled (correct me if I'm wrong), so thats of the list..
Do you guys know if any FW has enabled USB debug by default ? Or if there is any other option ?

Hello, I had sent you a message to try and help as much as I could but you opened a thread so I'll help you on here.
First. Double check all twrp folders using a file Explorer. Some roms when flashed through twrp automatically back up your efs partition.
Second. If the folders are blank then we'll proceed to try other methods of fixing your imei.
I assume since you went from having a blank imei to that weird number you tried one of the methods you found through Google.
There are ways to manually reenter your imei if the methods found on Google fail. Follow the instruction in the site below (I highly suggest using the terminal emulator method) and report back here. Your imei can be found on your Sim card or the bigger card your Sim came in.

This right here.
I have cleaned this thread, and I don't want to see any posts about IMEI modifying or anything illegal here.
You can try stock flashing, rebuilding an EFS partition somehow (probably impossible) or repair shop, but any talk of anything illegal and the moderators will take action on your account.
Thanks.

Have you tried searching for a Galaxy s6 efs repair script?

If nothing has worked you definitely need to go with a repair shop. Either a third party repair or try to warranty replace your phone through Samsung. If you go the Samsung route Odin flash 100% stock firmware then send it in to them and see what they say
