[Q] DEFY MINI bricked..HELP NEEDED - General Questions and Answers

Hi there,
This is my first post. Today I tried rooting my Defy Mini from the UK. It didn´t have access to Fastboot, so I followed some instructions I found on this forum and flashed it with a different ROM (SBF file) in order to gain Fastboot. The only result though was that I bricked my phone. It now displays no IMEI number - so I can´t use it basically.
Could someone help me, please?
I tried clicking on the link on this page, but it was broken. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787152

Was the Rooting successful?

Try reflashing your firmware, it worked for me, got my IMEI back.

How do I know which firmware to flash it with? Sorry if the question is a silly one, I'm new to this.

I just tried the UK one (from where I bought the phone), and I've tried the Spanish one. Both with no luck
I found someone here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40732343, who had the same issue. This person used the ROM for the Indian model. I can't find the ROM anywhere. Anybody know where to look?

So, the only ROM that worked was the Indian one. Now I have my IMEI back, still no access to fastboot, and very bad signal reception (sometimes I have it and sometimes I don't. Can anybody help?

Bricked P-6200 Advice Please

The worst has happened and it's all my fault
Having not used my Galaxy Tab for some weeks (I've been using my SGS III) I updated to the latest Brazillian ICS firmware and for a stupid reason did a factory rest which has resulted in me bricking my Tab.
I am now getting a boot loop on the screen that states it's a Galaxy Tab Plus, I can get into download mode but not recovery.
Having read a number of posts of similar problems, have tried flashing a .pit file and firmware but still no joy. It seems that it may have to be a trip to the Samsung Service Centre. Thankfully in download mode it is still showing a stock firmware with a zero counter.
Would be interested for any experiences on people who have had to return it to a service centre and whether I may get any potential problems as it was bought off ebay around 6 months ago and is the P-6200L model.
Any help is appreciated :good:
I'm not sure about this but u may try to flash cm10.. firstly download pit file and Odin then u flash the pit file.. also download cwm and cm10 then flash cm using cwm.. then wait for the device to reboot.. it works for me.. ^_^

I had the same thing yesterday.... If I look at the article there is a link there to an article and if you read that I see the advise to flash the original firmware through Odin maybe you can give that a try? I haven't had the change yet... but will try this afternoon... If that doesn't work I will also try aorth's post and if that fails I going back to the service center....

Have tried flashing a variety of different firmwares for my P6200 even the .pit files but still no luck.
Have spoken to a pleasant customer services gentleman who's arranged for me to return it and have it repaired under warranty.
Must make mental note to self NOT to do a factory reset via the default recovery option ever again

I tried the ICS from samfirmware through Odin, but no luck... The last option is to try and "downgrade" to Honeycomb (through Odin) if that fails I will go back to service...

Tried using Heimdall earlier but can't get it to recognise my device, neither will Kies now...back to Samsung is my only chance now!!!
Dude I had the same Problem. Flashed I've again with odyn and wiped everything 4-5times
I've given up... device will be sent back to service desk today for repair. Hopefully under waranty as I didn't root yet nor flashed a custom rom... I did, however, install CWM 6.0.0.8, but I guess that is not an issue (can anybody confirm?)
U need to change to stock recovery, my waranty was void and need to pay $170 due to there change to the new board.

Thanks for the help but sent my device back to Samsung this morning. Very impressed that they sent a pre-paid Special Delivery envelope and bubble wrap to return the device to them. Hope they don't take too long to sort it.

[Q] PXXAMC1 network unlocking

hey guys,
my first post here although i've been reading xda for years when searching stuff. great forum, great guys
so here is my problem: i have an I9105PXXAMC1 bought months ago from t-mobile austria in wien, has stock firmware 4.1.2 and it seems that it is network locked. from my little knowledge i guess that it isn't that hard to reset this, is just something like a file somewhere in the android os system? i've seen apps on google play claiming that they can network unlock but i guess they need a rooted device.. but: this is just my feeling about things, maybe i'm wrong, so, please, i need your help:
what should i do in the simplest way to network unlock this phone? i've read threads listing firmwares, there are also rooting guides but i see many differences based on the exact baseband version of the phone and now i actually don't know what should i do.
do i need to root the phone? what's the right guide for this baseband version?
if i do it is there a way to get back to stock version in the unfortunate case that the phone has issues and i have to send it back to warranty?
please, someone give me a head start
thanks much!

ok, after flashing your t-mobile banding is gone, but it will be still simlocked...
---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------
aktually there is no way to unlock it for free. the only way is to buy a code.

you can also go to a seitengassenjugoshop, they will make it 4 u

thanks, if i understood things well, after flashing a prerooted firmware, i can simunlock the device with some techniques/apps, right?
or the safest is just to buy a network unlock code from the internet?

edit:
ok, just saw your edit.. so only the unlock code will work? how come? why those from 'seitengassenjugoshop' (i guess you meant those little mobile shops where they do repairs, decode, etc) can do it without the code? or they buy this code also?
if code is only solution: where should i buy it? i don't trust those websites and they also don't seem very cheap.
I dont know how it is with our device but i had the same problem with the htc desire c from my little brother and after i unlocked bootloader flashed cwm, a custom Firmware and rooted it the simlock was gone.
He had t-mobile lock as well.

ok, so you are saying to first start with this prerooted firmware you've linked me, try eventually some simunlock apps and if it doesn't work try CWM's way with some firmware like cyanogenmod?
i guess that would void warranty in an irreversible way, or there are ways around it?
i've done it with CWM then tried many custom firmwares on my i9300 months ago, i guess i can manage to work my way through that. currently running CM 10.2 that just got in few days ago for i9300. the only thing is not to brick this i9105p, it's not mine, it's a friend's
U can reset binary counter with triangle away from chainfire.
So warranty is back
Sent from my GT-I9105P using xda app-developers app
ok, so i've tried many things, now trying stuff with CM10.1, but still no luck.. well, i guess that buying the code is the only solution for this phone?
i've also read about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731931 method but can't find that nv_data.bin file anywhere in my /efs!
actually, all the files in /efs are very small and seem of no use.. what's wrong with those i9105p phones?
anyway: does anybody know a good trustworthy source for buying a code? of course, at the most reasonable price possible.

[Q] Problem with nework

Hi everyone!
I flashed my i9103(Galaxy R) from 2.3.4 to 4.0.4 Stock India via Odin, and after that my serial number has become 000000000 and the phone cant find the network!
I tried flash another 4.0.4 stock rom, but nothing has changed. IMEI is OK, ONLY with serial number problem
Sory for my bad english
I will be very glad for advice! Thank you!
P.S. I created question in this thread, because in Galaxy R original thread too quiet, i hope this is not big problem

Yes, it is. You don't post in a forum for a completely different device purely because nobody posts to the forums for your device. Mods will be moving your thread to where it belongs.

I see. Still, I heard there are problems concerning the new FW about the tablet being unrooted if you flash KK on it and the samsung logo not appearing in the booting screen. Is there any way for the root to stay? I already know that there are a few bug issues in the software like the fast battery drain and I can handle that but the root though...I don't really want my device being bricked or whatever. I'm still a newbie about this so I wanted to find more information if possible before doing anything first.

I know it's official and everthing but that's not what I'm worried about. My tablet's already rooted with a custom rom and a blackhawk kernel in it. I read from the other posts that you'd be stuck in the booting screen if you flash the KK due to the logo missing and that you'll lose the root and will never be rooted again due to KK leaving a signature on the build or something. I'm not exactly sure what steps to take to prevent it though and I wanted to flash KK so bad. I just want to know if anyone knows how to flash KK in my already rooted tablet without encountering those two issues I just stated above.
Anyone?

You can always get root access again either by pre-rooting the firmware or by a custom recovery image in several different ways.

I don't think I can do the pre-rooting one. My computer doesn't run in Linux and I'm currently out of the country (and probably will be for months) to do anything about it.
Can you please tell me how to do it using custom recovery? You mentioned that there are different ways to do it?

Hey there.
I haven't found a particular section for your device here on xda, but take a look at the following link.
The op seems to have the same problem as you.
So i'll recommend you to use that thread for any future queries.
