[secretwhite]

Sadly, 4 of my friend birck their phone when they are flashing the new Bada 2.0. Do you have any solution to bring their phone back

WTH !!!!!
How did they brick them???
Is the flashing was killed in the bootloader step or any other step
if in the bootloader then it is full brick and the will need a fix with JTAG
If in any other step just reflash the files again

Best Regards

One of them forgot to check Full download, other didn't load the usb driver. Others can't understand what they did wrong. But they cant switch to Download mode now.

Sometimes, pulling the battery out for a few minutes, works. Otherwise, service is needed.

Thank you for your suggestions, I will tell your ideas to my friends. Hope one of them works.

The obvious 1st question to ask is to what did they try and flash it to?

The current Bada 2.0 is ONLY for the S8530 Wave II and NOT the S8500 Wave I

If they tried to flash it on the Wave I then "Theres your problem!!" Like Jamie Hinaman from Mythbusters would say

Like I said in my second post, one of them dorgot to check Full download, other forgot to load new usb driver. And they all have Wave II

Than I retract my statement

Usually once the bootloader has been loaded you can just reload it without doing to bootfiles again and it should work. But if their bootloader is screwed they will have to take it in to my knowledge.

Just a thought though... Were some of theirs branded? Because i know the bootloaders for branded phones are a bit different?

Their bootfiles screwed probably. I2m still searching for any solution

I'll google some for you as well but seeing as we dont know much from the new bootfiles i doubt there will be anything.

As a suggestion to them let them open up Kies and then plug in the phone in whatever state it may be.

There is a emergency recover mode that it should enter if it cant boot and Kies will then just revert to the latest "available" firmware.

Hope this helps but I will see if i can find something else that might help as well

They have one problem with Kies. It asks some kind of password but they cant find that password. This is their last solution unless someone tell different solution.

Ye i dont know the password either. It should provide it on the phone itself from what i could understand when it goes into recovery mode.

If its not displayed on the phone you wont have a code to put in there

I have no idea for S8530... but for chinese S8500 few Bootloader combinations were different. Some structure differences.

If you or your friends all from China... maybe chinese Firmware not allow this bada 2.0 Firmware...

@kadavil i have yesterday synced my contacts, kies is no showing firmware version but it worked for me on 2.0. It is like hidden, the version dont shows up, have you installed the new drivers in the folder before?

 

[secretwhite]

I2m from Turkey so my friends. We couldn't repair their phone and they will send their phone to service tomorrow. Thanks for your solution but complete kernel change ruin our repaie attempt.

@ secretwhite

Sorry, my fault. i'm sometimes blind and very tired...

Anyway. Their are some Operator/Branding related differences ... example chinese FW from S8500:
ZN...
ZC...

Or for instance adress changes S8500/S8530...

From S8530 seems more Bootloader Versions...

Maybe you should post your prior FW Version, before dead.
So maybe other users from turkey prevent "damage" their Wave II...

Best Regards
