[Q] Samsung gt-s7560m [I killed it] - General Questions and Answers

Hi, I have a koodo branded Samsung galaxy ace 2 x, the model is gt-s7560m
Anyways I'll give my storry on how i broke my phone, it's kind of stupid.... and totally my fault. If i can fix it then i don't have to send it out... but i guess i might have to.
Anyways. I rooted my phone so I could delete the useless Samsung all shair and other stupid services like that from my phone, then i started to delete other stuff off my phone, it eventuly broke notifications, and i was no longer alertaed about texts.
The next day i desided to do a factory wipe from the phones menu its self.....NOT SMART. because i had changed out my launcher and deleted the orginal one it came with, so after it was done the factory restore i could only go in the settings... kind of useless. and when i looked at the apps i had installed, there were alot of apps at 0b,
now, I had!!! clock work recovery mod... but i never made a backup or anything.like a smart person should anyways I did a factory restore from there, and now my phone no longer has clock work recovery mod, and it informs me it must be conected to samsung kies now, and that failes to work. my computer sees it but cant conect properly, I've tried with a few diffrent usb wires and another computer, so thats not a problem,
now the phone still shows up in odion, and i can put it in download mode still, so where do i go from here?
I amuse my phone is totally empty
I feel rather stupid and well if theres a way to even get a custom rom on there that'd be cool.
Yeah.... im sorry if this is a hard task for someone,

Ok first of all..always remember search button is your friend..you wouldn't need to post also if you search once.
ok now second, dont worry your phone is not dead and its very much possible to revive it. Ok start from here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-S7560M.
I wont tell you how to flash from Odin as you can easily search here and there are several tutorials here on that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539
Important thing to keep in mind is this. Don't cross flash a rom not meant for your phone. and even if u do make sure you dont overwrite the bootloader or preloader of your phone. As long as your phone will get detected by usb,your phone can be revived.
happy flashing

Wow, well i wasent shure what that samsung site was about but figured it out on my own with out the guide. odin aint hard to understand besides where to put what...
There was no koodo file so i took telus, (telus and koodo are the same) it seemed to work fine
any ways, its almost all done installing, I hope it works, its been like 4-5 days now,
Yeah I'm no good with search....
.... Anyways, It flashed properly and my phone actualy booted woah..... Awsome!!!
well atleast i have my phone back... .
anyways is there a custom for this phone? thats another think i have a problem finding, ... and the ones i find, they have dead links,

GT-S7560GSMH dead - please help!
Friend gave me GT-S7560GSMH to change rom in his telephone. I changed to CM11 4.4.1 but it was problem with camera it was taking pictures 90 degrees angle. Then I decided to try to flash other rom. But I try first change the recovery since there was some problems with recovery. So change to other version of CWM or TWRP or something else. I flash through CWM some recovery zip file and after that the telephone became completely dead. No any signs of life at all. Trying buttons for download mode and recovery mode, removing and put battery back, nothing at all, no signs of any life. Please tell me there is any way to resurrect the phone? To bring back to life? It is not my phone. I wish I could give back living phone not a dead phone. Hope to hear any help from you. Thank you,

I am very familiar with the process. Rooted, sideloading for apps is all done. I have flashed my device with JM2, JH2, and the 1.2 OC. Now when I try to flash it doesn't work. I tried last night with no luck. I decided to master clear the device since I was having issues and wanted to start back with a fresh device. Now after trying to flash the JH3 from JF6 with Unleash the beast it wont work.
I also tried flashing with one click root, and superrooter from a fresh Odin one click. Usb debugging is enabled, Odin opened and then get into download mode. So my process from when it would work is now not working haha? So beyond my confusion of what I might be forgetting can anyone think of something that might help? I didn't want to put this in the dev section since there is nothing specifically made up for odin 3, only odin one click restore.
Your drivers are messed up... grab the ones from the odin thread and reinstall with the phone plugged in and in download mode.

Reloaded the drivers and still get the message. Any other suggestions would be helpful.
Try un-selecting the other options? (auto reboot/time)
I had a similar error message when the "repartition" was selected. Just an idea...
Gave that a shot but no luck
I am almost resigned to the fact I might be stuck with JF6 until Froyo gets pushed out OTA (if/when that happens). I just can't believe it has me this stumped.
Can busybox, the older superuser, anything like that cause this issue? When I wiped back to stock I loaded Unleash the beast because I prefer the older superuser (ninja guy). When I first got my phone I did the adb code for sideloading after doing one click root. That process isn't different from what the guys that made the UTB and Superrooter update.zip files is it?
Well tried running Odin as an administrator and that didn't work haha. Worth a shot.
I dont really know if that could be the cause or not. Im actually having trouble wiping all the data from my phone (I have my own thread, but it could be related). I used Odin 1 click, I used the regular Odin and did everything manually, tried master reset, and also did a factory data reset. Tons of data still on my phone, though. I was contributing it to titanium backup, but it may be things installed from super rooter
Anyone else have an idea that I might try?
Now even Odin one click comes up with this message??? I am really baffled with this situation.
Update: Got Odin one click to work again, I wiped my user data through clockwork. After this reloads I am going to try and do sideloading via the adb codes rather then using UTB or superrooter to see if that makes a difference for me. Still could use any suggestion on what else people have tried in this situation, if you have been in this before.
Sweet life
Still stumped by this issue if anyone has any help for me. Also could this be moved to the new Q&A section. Thanks.

Do you use the Kies program and if so has it ran an update lately, I had it on my Win7 laptop and when it ran the software update it totally hosed up my drivers and I could not connect to my phone anymore... I had to uninstall Kies and remove all my drivers and then reboot my laptop then I only reinstalled the Samsung drivers and now I can connect again. I won't be using Kies anymore..Anyways I thought I would share my experience in case it might help you..

I haven't used kies since I first got the phone to put contacts in. But I just tried again to give it a whirl and got it to load the kernel. Hell if I know why it worked today compared to before hahaha.

Well I guess you didn't read all the way til post 3 of the thread where you pulled the CM9 unofficial ROM...BTW your probable gonna get flamed since you also didn't make a run thru the the Q&A...since this has been address, well I ran out of fingers and toes to count how many times...but
Go back the op [Firmware][ICS]UNOFFICIAL CM9 for the Infuse 4G... go down to post 3, and do a little reading, maybe you should of did some more homework before jumping in, but hey good on you for just jumping and not looking where you might land...
If you require more reading (i suggest) see my links below...ok,
Good luck
yes i know i will get flamed, and i did read the 3rd post about the bootloaders
but i just wanted to know if there is another way to do it, and since English is not my native language, i don't understand everything very well, but thanks

Ok understood, just relax and re read it again, and go thru the Q and A seciton.
What part are you having trouble understanding...?
---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------
What I suggest is start over:
Use the one click back to stock and then use the one click to install CWM...which is what you need to get CM9 ics ok,
so first one click back using qkster method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
1. Put your phone into Download Mode.
2. If you have not used Heimdall, you will need to set up the driver for device recognition.
3. Once your device is connected, the DEVICE STATUS should show: CONNECTED. The long FLASH bar will also turn on for flashing.
4. Click on the FLASH button. (In my opinion: I recommend that you do this in a safe environment. Do not disturb your phone will flashing this firmware. Turn off Antivirus. Do not run any other programs, upload/download/youtube/burning DVD etc)
5. Once it has completed, your phone will reboot. You will hopefully see the ATT logo and reboot into STOCK UCLB3.
6. If it did not work, you will have to put it back into DOWNLOAD mode and reflash a second time, with the FLASH BOOTLOADER box checked. This is more likely if you never had proper Gingerbread bootloaders on your phone, if you are coming from FROYO or if you never had Odin a Gingerbread leak to get your bootloaders.
Then use one click from same op, qkster method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
post 2... After you have flashed the UCLB3, some of you may want to have Red ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery to flash another ROM.
Put your phone back into DOWNLOAD mode after your phone has booted up.
Then reinstall the cm9 zip, once you reach this stage, you will have to flash it twice..ok this file...
Cwm9 is the devil! Everyone who had tried to use it for anything except putting itself on the phone has had one problem after another. Call it experimental or call it in alpha.. Whatever call it as it is a bricking virus. Just cause it was all good through ginger bread doesn't mean it will be the best forever. Pull it off the site already. it affects all phones that use it. I have an epic 4g and it nearly bricked mine about 3 months ago. Check out some.of the other forums that this alpha virus had spread to. Nearly every brick had cwm9 mentioned in it.

Yes and No...
It is a step up for the infuse, well it will be...
The problem is people are not doing their homework, and have never flashed a ROM, much less know what the letter ICS or CM9 even are, and yes it has brought some challenges but for those of us that have installed and ran it on this phone and other phones, I don't mind assisting others, but they have to do the reading and homework for them self's...
Yes you have your opinion and I don't disagree or agree, but I do hope the ROM with be brought up fully functionally, and it will with the Developer we have working it and others who are "testing" it, the ones who are familiar with...
Alright thanks mate, right now im installing the driver for heimdall, I already read everything you said and the links you shared
Thanks again, you just saved another noob
When your up and running for good, let us know, and don't forget to thank the Dev that provided you with the tools you needed...not me...just pointed you there...
Yes I will

No one who actually FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS has had an issue.
I challenge you to find ONE person who has bricked an Infuse with CM9. The only time in the CM9 flashing process one might brick is when flashing the bootloaders to get rid of rainbows - and I have PLENTY of warning that flashing bootloaders is a dangerous and risky process.
Similarly, no one has bricked an I9100 flashing CM9 either, unless the recovery they were flashing away FROM was defective (such as the initial I777 UCLD3 recovery repacks) - but that same defective recovery caused hardbricks for people flashing even rooted stock with no CM9 involvement.
Task650 was right when he replied to you in the I777 thread - he contributed more to XDA when he took a dump this morning then when you spread your bull****.
Thank You "E"....well put...:thumbup: :thumbup:
I hate it when jokers like that guy pipes in, when trying to help others...the op admits to not to be good at his English...

[Q] My atrix 2 is on the edge of dying. please help.

I'm really sorry if this doesn't belong here.
My atrix 2 (MB865 from Singapore) updated by OTA to ICS then rooted successfully and I installed custom roms (scv7 and swifty etc) and even mods (xLoud and Beats) but in CWM (Bootstrap + cwm-on-boot script) it would usually say ''installation aborted'' whenever I tried to flash a custom rom, which is pretty weird since I was using the correct roms for my device.
One day I decided to go back to stock ICS by flashing a ics fzw in RSD Lite 6.0 (I tried flashing 6.7.2_EDEM-18-SEARET_cfc.xml and 6.7.2_EDEM-18-ASIAOPS_cfc.xml) but every time it would stop at step 14/20 ''writing system.img'' but the progress arrows would still keep moving. So after an hour of waiting, I disconnected the phone from the usb cable and I got the black screen with Flashmode (Flash Failure) with ''cannot program'' and ''battery low''. Now the battery died and it won't even charge when I connect it to the wall adapter, it would only boot into the flashmode (flash failure) screen and when I turn it off and try to to it on again it won't. I don't think it's hardbricked because when the battery was still on, I could turn it off and boot back up into fastboot with options like normal boot or go to the stock android recovery.
What do I do now?
Hey, so you have 2 issues here. 1 is that your battery is dead, and you need to charge it.
you can try to find the diy method posted here a while ago, but be careful as you could fry your phone if your not careful. or you can find another phone to charge the battery in (another a2). if neither of those work, you can buy an external charger online to do it.
2 is the issue of why it is not flashing. make sure you are using the exact right fxz for your phone version, there are many available.

Thanks alot man, i've stopped stressing, I'll find a way to get the battery charged. But then the problem is in how to escape this damned AP Fastboot Flash Mode "Flash Failure" screen. I mean the fxz I mentioned should work (they match the phone's specifications) but whenever I use FDS Lite 6.0 it always gets stuck at step 14/20 "system.img" for like an hour, is it maybe a drivers problem? Should I try another computer? Should I claim warranty for it even though it's rooted? Thanks in advance

I am going to be totally honest here. You are using the wrong fxz file for your phone. I see you are trying to flash the SEARET fxz, that is for south east asia phones ONLY, and would not work on say an AT&T phone that was purchased someplace else and just being used there.
First off what region/country are you in?
Second does the phone have the AT&T logo at the bottom front of the phone?
Did you get the phone through proper channels in your part of the world, or did you buy it on ebay or something?
Yes all of these things matter. You will need to do the McGyver method to charge your battery (lkrasner mentioned it as the diy method). It is in this forum, just Search for it.
After you get us the information I asked for above we will be able to better help you.
Also one last thing to check is to see if the MD5sum matches. If not you prolly have a corrupt download and that is why it may not be working as well.
With respect to our developers this will allow you to flash without a battery. It does nothing else useful but does get around the low battery issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910027
There are other forms however being in Singapore may limit your options. Remember Google is your friend.

To follow up on that, there is a simple way to check if your Atrix 2 is from Singapore. Open the back cover, remove the battery, and look for

If you see that, your phone is indeed a Singapore version, and the SEARET fxz is the correct one to flash.

Hi guys, I try to avoid posting, but I've searched high and low for an answer and I really can't find it.
I've got a T-Mobile LG G5 H830, that I have recently rooted and installed TWRP on it. Last night, I decided to try changing a value in build.prop, stupidly without making a backup first and after I changed the value and rebooted, stuck at T-Mobile bootscreen, go figure. All I did was change a value from false to true for adoptable storage..
Anyway-- I tried factory resetting, I tried flashing that FLUENCE rom I found somewhere here on XDA, I've tried just about every thing I could, before I gave up and decided it would be easier to just revert back to stock and unroot. I wasn't really utilizing root for more than Titanium Backup anyway.
To the point; I've got the LG UP program installed, I've got the DLL for it installed and inserted, and the appropriate .tot file to flash it back to factory default. No matter what I do, no matter how many different COM ports I try, different drivers I've tried etc, I cannot get it to read my phone in download mode. ADB mode works in TWRP still, but this is driving me insane. The only other phone I have is a busted up BlackBerry Priv, and I want this phone working again asap.
If someone can shed some light on whatever the hell I'm doing wrong, it would mean the world to me.
Please.
P.S: yes I've tried just about every USB port on my computer, and I've tried restarting Windows many times.
you have tried jiggling it?
You know what? Hell, if someone finds me a working solution to my problem, I will personally paypal them five dollars. I just want this fixed. I've had LG G3s brick on me obnoxiously and then never come back from it, I don't know what it is about LG phones.. Samsung phones, Nexus phones, and basically any other Android phones I've worked on aren't nearly this hard to restore and repair.

Use the twrp restore file in the development thread it will revert your build prop back, and from there your phone will work again. Editing build prop is not advised on the H830 has been discussed on numerous threads even before root was established. At least it's only a soft brick .
Have you tried jiggling it perhaps?
so did @wolfu11 get the 5 bucks? his solution should have fixed it.

Not holding my breath lol. That's why I declined any of the root bounty.
Try manually pointing to either the lg drivers, or adb drivers had that same problem when trying to root H830.
Sent from my LG-H830 using XDA-Developers mobile app
IDK if u fixed it or not, but i have a simular issue where LGUP does not recognize my phone. i'm guessing it could be the buildprop could have broken it. i have factory reset my phone, but upon turning on wifi, the phone crashes and i need to factory reset. i am rooted and retain root. My guess is that changing the buildprop causes the phone to be unrecognized. I did backup my buildprop but its stuck in an encrypted backup. Thanks alot gooogle...
Same problem here
I am having the same problem but I never touched my build prop. I rooted and decided to install cm14. When i flashed, none of my partitions are mounting and phone would not boot. I put stock back on and flashed tot and tried mounting partitions and nothing. Now computer doesn't recognize it as well as it will not boot into recovery or android.
I have seen this and I think I fixed it by disabling one of the two, in device manager. 1st listed, iirc.

Setting phone back to defaults for dummies

It doesn't appear anybody knows what to do with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/incoming-calls-answered-vener-make-to-t3500914 and I now have to go back to full factory stuff with no custom recovery and stock os to find out if this is a hardware issue. I did a TWRP restore from several months ago when the phone worked fine and it still has the incoming call issue from the link above. Did a factory wipe in Teamwin, same thing.
Rooted Sprint Galaxy S6 on Lollipop 5.1.1 with Teamwin recovery

Please pretend than I am a not particularly precocious ten year old who needs to make this phone as if I just took it outta the box. I have searched here and around the web. All I find elsewhere are paid download sites or 3 hour downloads and here I can't make heads nor tails out of the volumes of impressive information in these forums.
I do have PC skills, and this is my first smart phone and getting it rooted and the recovery installed and all that wasn't too tough back when I got it 15 months ago. It appears restoring it back to stock is quite a bit tougher.
I have to see if incoming calls still don't work when the machine is totally stock. Is there a way to do this without a 3 hour download and a masters in computer science? I sure would be most grateful for any help with this.
Thank you.
You can simply do "Rescue firmware" via Smart Switch.

Thank you sir! I will have a look at this a bit later tonight when possible.
This won't work with Teamwin recovery right?
I have none of the boot options in this video. Not that I don't appreciate it.
I have none of the boot options in this video (TeamWin). I also have totally different options in SmartSwitch. Not that I don't appreciate it. It doesn't have an option to search like the video says and already has an upgrade in there. I deleted my google accounts like it said and now I have this:

Root will mess up the mobile phone, but the whole point is getting rid of root and fixing the mobile phone. . Again, it's not that I don't appreciate the help, but this is what I've been going through. None of the instructions I find match what I have,.

I appreciate that sir, but like I say, I never get step 4. It doesn't exist for me. As soon as I click the device initialization tab I get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I proceed, I get this:
It tells me the update may fail if it's rooted and being unrooted is one of the goals of this. It also says that the mobile phone function may not work, but it's exactly the mobile phone function that's not working now and I've been trying to fix. That's what started this whole thing:

You won't do anything on TeamWin.
1. Open Smart Switch on PC.
2. Turn Off the phone. Press Volume down (not up) & Home button & power button. When you see the warning screen, just press volume up once. If you see "Downloading" screen, plug into PC
3. Do "Rescue Firmware" via Smart Switch.
Thats it.

Well they had to write that, because if something happens during flashing it is not their fault, and you have been warned.
You can also uninstal supersu, and download that same fw Smart Switch would install from another internet source, and it will probably be a painfully slow download, but that is up to you.
I cannot guaratee you that Smart Switch emergency initialization would solve your phone issues, but it is the way to unroot and for the phone to become officially stock, offcourse knox will stay tripped if it was tripped during rooting (and probably is, unless you are on 5.0.2. and were using ping pong root).
I used Smart Switch emergency a lot, and it was always succesfull, just follow instructions, connect your phone in dowload mode when it asks for it, and there should be no problems getting to stock.
...I saw just now, in your other topic that you have fixed it /thumbs up!
