Hi there,
I am writing to look for kind help from you guys on the i601 which was wrongly updated with a i608 ROM and was caused to possess no phone function at all, though it can be powered on to the home screen with some basic functions like file exploring. Now it has no phone function, and lots of other functions like power signal, user configuration menu, and etc. are not working either. The worst is it doesn't respond when I connect it with my PC via ActiveSync (seems the USB port is not funcitoning as well).
I'm not sure what kind of information should be given to let you guys better understand the symptoms but here is a few of information that might be a little bit insightful:
By keying in *#1546792*#:
Windows Mobile 6 Standard
CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
Radio Version 0
RIL Version 2.002
... ...
By entering into Setting mode:
PDA Version
i608ZTGI2
Phone Version
(it is left blank )
Eboot Version
i608ZTGI2
I would love to see if you can shred me a light if and how I can fix it. All kind of help is highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Thorn_pl,
I am always grateful and thankful to see a reply from someone who are trying to help others. Thanks a lot in advance for your kind advice.
To be exact, now the phone cannot be recognized by ActiveSync after plugging in through the USB port. I check through the files inside the phone and found that many sub-folders under Windows are empty, such as:
/My Device/ConnMgr
/My Device/Documents and Settings/default
/My Device/Documents and Settings/Samsung
/My Device/Program Files/Connections
/My Device/Windows/Activesync/ (only one file named CtrlLog)
/My Device/Windows/Systems/ (only some empty folders like CertDtls, ConfigMgr, DumpFiles, SQM, CabQueue)
Can someone be kind enough to teach me how to at least make it connectable with ActiveSync so that I can try flashing again a ROM to this phone?
Also if it can be done, I need to locate where i601 ROM would be available.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Thorn_pl,
Sorry for bothering you again, would you tell me what you mean by wce downloader? Is it a program that I can use in my case? Where can I find this program?
What is BootLoader mode?
Where can I download official i601 ROM? I tried to search on web but couldn't find any info about this strange version - i601.
Thanks again.

Hi dermann,
Thankyou for the reply.
The first headache to me is now my PC doesn't recognize the phone through the USB port. I have been looking around on the web and found some Samsung USB Driver files and had them installed in my PC. But it doesn't help at all, my phone cannot be recognized correctly (a few times it was recognized as Unknown Device). So when I power on my phone on BL mode and link it with WCEDownloader trying to flash, the START button is disabled.
I don't know if there can be solutions to make my PC recognize the phone again and am really frustrated at the moment. The only good thing is now I basically know how to flash a Samsung mobile phone and have collected bunches of ROMs and software.
See if someone know how to troubleshoot it.
Anyway, thanks a lot.
ok I have an idea... but I'm at work at the moment. when I get home I'll see if my idea does anything. I'll let you know.
edit!!! was just thinking. what os is your computer running? xp, vista, w7...
if your phone comes up as unknown device, that's better than nothing. here's what i'm going to do... i'll up load the usb drivers from my 607, and we'll see if that changes anything.
edit#2!!! ok here they are, along with the usb registry. put .dll's in windows folder on phone and import the .reg using a registry editor. soft reset after you do all that. let me know how things go.

Hi dermann,
Thanks for the valuable advice.
My PC is running on XP.
Last night i just uninstalled all the SAMSUNG USB Drivers I installed with the following driver pack I could located on earth:
Samsung CDMA Driver
Samsung Composite Drivers
Samsung USB Driver MCCI 4.34 WHQL
Samsung CDMA Modom 4.34
etc. etc.
Typically a shoot in the dark. Haha...
Now I will try to re-install them one by one to find out actually which one would be that particular driver that did at least recognize an "unknown device" (if I have luck... haha...) and make it a likely viable connection first.
There is another symptom that I didn't mention before, and it is that the phone cannot read the Micro SD card, not sure if it is me that I don't know how to explore the content on the card or it is the phone that it card-reading function is disabled as well (It is always strange when I explore the content in different folders and find out many system folders are empty... as I said before).
Let me spend some time on "wrestling" with the USB connection symptom first and the next is to see if I can make something out with your attached file.
Wish me luck.
Millions thanks again to you dermann. Will keep you posted of my status until I officially announce it a brick. Haha...
Have a nice day!
Hi Dermann,
Yet I cannot find the right USB Driver to install on my PC running XP, though the phone can read the MicroSD card now. Unfortunately after I copied all your files in the card (putting into a sub-folder), the phone can show only one file named USB, all the dll's files are now shown. And therefore I cannot really copy them into the Windows folder as you recommended. Do you know what would be the cause to this situation and how I can tackle this issue.
Anyway, it is a step closer. Thanks again and look for your generous advice.
Have a nice day.
ok, if you can install programs. try installing another file explorer like Resco Explorer, or one like it. if you use the the original explorer than the files will be hidden.

I will find this program and try installing into my phone right after I get back home tonight. Got to go. Time to relieve myself from this headache... Haha...

Have a nice day.

Hi dermann,
I copied the unzipped folder to the root directory of my MicroSD card, run the "Explorer" and now it can display the content inside folders. However, the strange thing is:
I copied the unzipped files you gave me yesterday into the MicroSD card, when I use the new explorer to browse the files, still only the one named "USB" is shown and all the dlls files are hidden. I can see them only when I use the "Find" Command in the menu of Explorer (find *.*). By doing so they can be visible together with that USB file in the same folder. Unfortunately in the "Find" Menu I cannot find any command such as COPY or CUT so that I can copy them into the /Windows as you instructed.
So now I am kind of stuck at how to copy these files into the folder of \Windows.
Would love to get some kind advice from you.
Thanks a lot.
ok, sorry for the late response. just getting off a 14 hour work day. ok the file explorer... head to menu\options\general\browser, and uncheck everything. then head to the folder you have the files in and click action left soft key, and their is the copy, move, ect.. to move everything over at once click your star key "*" and check mark all the files, then copy or move them. you'll want to overwrite the files that are already their.

Dear Dermann,
Thanks for your generous advice.
The EXPLORER works exactly the way you told me. Now I've succeeded into copying all the files (named USB and the other 5 dlls files) into my phone's /WINDOWS folder.
But I cannot quite understand the next step you wrote "... and import the .reg using a registry editor..." How can it be done or it has been done already by copying all the files into /WINDOWS folder?
Maybe you can advise the next step when you are free. Sorry to have bothered you with this. You needn't give me reply when you are busy with your work or enjoy your leisure time. Just write me when you are really free and don't have better things to do, I can wait very patiently.
Thanks again and you have a nice weekend.

Thanks so much for your kindness.
Actually after my post Dermann was kind enough to help me by sending me a CAB file that would let me "import" the registry into the system of my phone. I guess it did import the registry successfully. Unfortunately, after copying all the dll files and importing that particular registry, it didn't change the overall picture - my phone still cannot be recognized when connecting via the USB port, just "Unknown Device" is shown.
It is still a deadlock to me.
Anyway, thanks for the offer and I appreciate it very much.
Thanks.

i think the only option that's left is to go to a samsung service center! they have the hardware for it to restore your device to the original firmware!
Hello everyone. Although n00bs aren't allowed here, I do want to ask you a question that might be very n00bish. And maybe a little inappropriate. Or asked in the wrong section of this forum.
But here it goes: I want to try and edit a savegame for a game on my HTC Hero (baseball superstar 2010). So, first I tried to locate where all the files for this game could be installed on my phone. I did not succeed.
But with help from this forum, I found out that I might find the files by using Astro File Manager. I can use this app to click on the .apk from the game, that I have on my sdcard, and then choose the option 'browse file'. There, I find a lot of files! So, the first problem is solved.
The second problem is, that I cannot edit any of the files I then find. And I cannot find a file that has the datestamp of today, or yesterday, when I last played the game. Shouldn't there be a very recent file with the saved game data in it somewhere?
For me, it would be a lot easier if I could browse the apk on my desktop with a simple explorer. But if I hook up my sd-card to my pc, I cannot open the .apk. How can I accomplish this?
I hope I gave a decent description of my problems, and hopefully anyone can help me with A) finding out which file to edit B) how to open or edit this file and C) what to edit!
Thank you all in advance for your time and patience.
Use 7zip to open/extract the .apk file. You can use winrar too, but I like 7zip better. I'll try to find a link in a minute, or you can always google it if I don't post back quick enough for you.
Your questions are reeallly noobish ;-P
Apk files store libraries and other static files of your applications - there you could find images, texts, code, etc., but not runtime data like savegames. Look into /data/{package-name}/ - you could find package name in many places, I think it's in Settings -> Manage applications, but I'm not sure.
Very noobish yes
I have done something in the meanwhile, and that is: buy the real deal from the market. I no longer seem to have the .apk, but that should be no problem. Now the real game is officially installed onto my phone.
But ... where? I have tried looking in /data with my file managers, but they say that the folder is empty! So... where are my apps installed then? They must be on my phone somewhere. Do I have to root my phone in order to see anything in the /data/folder?

I'm not sure, but I think so. This directory is read-protected, so apps can't steal data of other apps. And I've mistaken: it's /data/app/{package-name}.
Hmmm. Do you know a good way to do that? I have a HTC Hero with the 2.1-update1 firmware (so my phone tells me!).

I think I'm correct in saying yes. I use RootExplorer and can see my apks in data/app, but if I use AndExplorer I can't.

Hi There,
I've opened another thread to stop the clutter, but: I have installed Root Explorer and used (I thought) Universal Androot to root my mobile phone. It did install Superuser, but when I open Root Explorer, I don't get a prompt to put it on the superuser list... so nothing seems to work. Do you know what I should do, and how I can do that?

You might be best searching your phones forum for a solution unless someone can offer you help here.
Iirc, savedata and settings would be in /data/data/com.gamevil.bs2010/
probably in a folder named "files".
start by looking in there.
other apps would be in /data/data/[packagename]
Hi there!
I was tinkering about on the system files of my Galaxy Beam, and (maybe) accidentally messed up with the partition of the device.
The device runs on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and now its mobile data service is disabled, and when I checked the baseband it says "XXXX" (I believe this is the same case as baseband unknown).
I tried to repair it using Szaby59's method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145464), but to no avail.
I wonder if there is another way to restore the baseband of my phone? I understand I might have messed with the efs and modemfs files, will it help if there is anyone who is kind enough to share his/her stock efs/modemfs files, and I get to use those files to my phone?
Hope the information was clear enough, thanks in advance.

I just registered and replied this post with many thanks! Because I also had headache with my i8530 phone which lost the baseband info.
Your file of "modemefs.zip" REALLY worked on my I8530 phone! I unzipped the files and copied into the root directory of "modemefs", then reboot, finally the baseband came back!!!:good:
I almost decided to throw away this cell phone before I found this post. You have greatly helped me to solve my problem.

First make sure your phone is rooted and Root Explorer is installed.
Open Root Explorer, copy the files to /modemfs directory.
If failed to copy, one reason may be that /modelfs directory has insufficient space. Because Android system allocates different space for some specific system directories.
When you turn to /modemfs, Root Explorer will show "XX MB used, XX MB free" on the top.
If the free space is very little, you will NOT be able to replace the model file, so you need to consider to delete some useless or irrelevant files inside this directory.
Hello, I have been trying to upload and attach screen shots to a post but I always get upload file failed. The files are only jpeg files. I have tried to make the smaller and even make them pdf's and still no luck. I have tired to use Tapatalk, XDA labs and my computer with no luck, any ideas?
When you try to post a new thread, click the button 'Manage Attachments', select files from your computer, and then click 'Upload'.
Then click 'Attachments' icon above your message body to select jpeg files one by one into your thread.
Does not work, all I keep getting is upload failed.

If it doesn't work anywhere (both website and mobile apps) maybe it's an issue related to your account...
Pinging @the_scotsman in case he could help.
Hmm....the account looks ok.
Can you try creating a new blank text file and see if you can upload that. There may be some weird issue with the files you're trying to upload.
A simple text file should have no issues, so that will be a good test.
Just tried a text file I get a message saying bad request upload of file failed.
Is it happening in any thread? Have you tried attaching to this thread?
If so, this is beyond anything I can think of.
@MikeChannon Seen this before? I can attach ok, so attachment system is working fine.

Not seen this before, for small files anyway. Browser/Router/Add On issue maybe but other than clearing Browser cache, trying another browser, re-booting router, disabling add-ons I don't know what to suggest.

So, who else is having this problem? Loads of weird files are being generated in the Download folder.
Even after I delete them they reappear. Somebody knows why this is happening and how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Incomplete download?
Also happens for me, not just on the op6, also on the note8. I think chrome generates this files.
i had weird files all over my internal storage...also, weird folders...i just deleted them all and everything still works

Make sure your browser has storage permission allowed as that is needed to write the download to storage or you will get a failed download.
Very late reply but go to chrome>settings>downloads>
Uncheckd/ untick "download articles over WiFi"
Off course after doing this articles on chrome will not be available offline
I am having this problem as well. Its only happening when i updated to android 10. And i have reset phone and not given chrome storage permission and still it is able to create those files in my storage?. Anyone know what's happening?
