First, hello to all as this is my first post and please excuse my bad english.
I've a GT-I8190 that I'm trying to flash via Odin, but some strange things are happenning. All the process goes fine, but when I finish the upload nothing changed. I know how to use Odin (this is not my first time flashing a device), and I know what to expect from each option of the program, so I'll go to the main point.
As far as I cannot flash anything (I repeat, all the process goes fine and SUCCESS appears on Odin, so no NAND write errors, no connection errors, etc ...), I tried to do the last thing I could do to check my thoughts: I performed a "Nand erase all" (Odin 3.09). No PIT file, no CSC, no PHONE, no BOOTLOADER, only CWM on PDA. As far as I understand, doing this I'll loose bootloader, radio, EVERYTHING, and I won't be able to turn on the phone as far as it won't have a valid bootloader... so, when all process finished ("Erasing NAND" message appeared on log, and SUCCESS again when finished), I started the phone and... it booted exactly as if I did anything with Odin!
I tried to make a reset to factory defaults from OS, but results are the same: nothing changed on reboot (still have my apps, contacts, EVERYTHING). Manually uninstalled Facebook and AVG, but when I restart the phone they are still there!
So, question is, is there something I can do with this phone? It seems that NAND is write protected or something like this... Is there any eFUSE that prevents to write to NAND?
I don't know if there is another case similar to this one in the forum, I've searched a lot but find nothing.
Any help will be appreciated.
PS: BTW, I cannot acces to recovery menu
PS2: ADB reboot-bootloader does not work, it restarts the phone normally. I cannot test fastboot oem lock / unlock commands
