Hi guys, i just updated my Samsung Ativ S today to the WP 8.1, and everything seems to work "fine".
EXCEPT that as soon as I turn off the phone and turn back on, it keeps on for like 20 seconds, sets to flight mode, and reboots. And it keeps doing it over and over again, it won't stop rebooting. I have tried to reset the phone configurations, but it resets again to WP 8.1, and I keep getting this bug everytime I turn the power off. Is there any way to reset it to the oldest firmware(8.0...)? Anyone else experiencing this?
1) hard reset your phone
2) after the configuration of Microsoft account, don't use backup, choose config everything again.
3) If you want to use cortana, choose english and United states for country, speech, display language etc.
Ativ S - Tim Sul - Rebooting Constantly
Dear,
After update my Ativ S, I'm experiencing the same problems discussed by CamilaRamos. I have done the Hard Reset and restarted the WP 8.1 without considering my MS Account. However, after I have inserted the Sim Card, the same problem start to occur again.
Thanks in advance,
I have samsung ativ s and after update 8.1 it is rebooting of one to one minutes.
All app are installed in internal memory, I don't use memory card.
I did many things, but nothing resolved my problem.
I wait that the Microsoft is looking to solve this, because I can't come back to GDR3 and need my phone for my job everyday.
If hard reset doesn't work, follow this steps::
1) reflash the Samsung ativ s rom (Windows phone 8.0 GDR3), following this step by step: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391138
2) The rom and CSC you can download here: http://tweaksparadise.com/download/anaheiim/?action=list&folder=7836
3) After reflash the Windows phone 8 GDR3 rom, reinstall the preview for developers and search again for updates, your phone will update again to Windows phone 8.1.
4) this will solve all issues.

I'll try this. I checked my CSC by the diagnosis app and it's ZTOALL3, but I only found ZTO for download. Is there any problem using this one?

No, no problem
So, I managed to reset my phone back to gdr3 with that tutorial using ZTO csc, but now I have to manually set the APN information to get my 3G connected, and as soon as i reboot the phone, it will erase those configs and I have to set it up again. Is there any way to save it undefinetly, or can I set my csc to ATO and how would I do it, or would it make any difference here?

I can tell you my story. I also updated my Br-Ativ S (pun intended) to 8.1, coming from a manually flashed GDR3. I had to hard reset the phone in order to start over and correct some bugs, including the one you described. I had a similar issue using the wrong GDR3 rom found on the intarweb.
Good luck!

Hi
I have a Samsung Galaxy S and I want to back it up and update it to the latest version of software.
I have download Kies, but when I load it, the Firmware Information area says the following:
"This version of the devive cannot be updated"
"Current firmware version: PDA:JF3/PHONE:JF3/CSC:JE5 (ORA)"
I have tried Googling for an answer and tried Samsung's useless support area on their website but cannot find a solution.
Can anyone help? I seem to be able to backup my contacts, but not apps, or upgrade the software version.
I have various glitches and bugs when using my phone that I would hope this software would iron out. These include, phone not loading some apps, screen freezing, blank screen appears and only way to reset is to take battery out, loses connection to SD card so wont load gallery, wont allow an extra Google account to be added...
It seems to have some serious problems. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Thanks for this
Why would there not be an update of Android for the Galaxy S? There has been news about it being out so this doesnt make sense.
Thanks for the other link - looks far too complicated for me to start tinkering with this. Is there no other way for me to get an update?
Do you know anything about how to back up apps?
Wont a factory reset clear everything I have on the phone, so I will lose everything?
Thanks

I said and Kies says no update for your branded phone whoever you bought it from has not yet updated the firmware .
Pointless now as 2.3 due for release soon .
Wont a factory reset clear everything I have on the phone, so I will lose everything
yes

I think Im unfortunate enough to have one of the first batch of Orange UK Galaxy S's which have issues with the Kies software and are, according to Orange "un-updateable".
Samsung are working on a fix but its a Kies issue apparently.
If I factory reset, I will lose everything. I have backed up contacts, I can sort images, videos ect easily, but how do I back up apps? There is no option for this in Kies?
I have an AT&T HTC HD7 with 7.5 and I decided to upgrade to Windows Phone 7.8
I went to http://www.windowsphonehacker.com/articles/want_windows_phone_7.8_now_try_this_easy_tool-01-31-13 and I tried to install 7.8, but installation crashed a few times before that. Unfortunately during this "installation", my phone lost the hability to access Wi-Fi, SMS many other features, and I was unable to reset it to factory defaults (Settings > About didn't work).
Then I found the amazing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37384687&postcount=1478 and I moved to 8779, 8783 and finally 8858 (Windows Phone 7.8). Now 7.8 is working but I still can't access Wi-Fi, SMS, Settings > About and many other! When I click any of these options, nothing happens or the next screen crashes and it goes to the last screen.
Then I decided the best move is to go back to original 7.5, but I couldn't find the ROM and any real solution to do that.
How do I install original (factory) AT&T version 7.5?? (Settings > About doesn't work so I don't have the option to restore using "Reset to factory settings" option)
Thx in advance!
I would follow these instructions to unlock the phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597837
Then install Dynamics 7.8 ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523991
My phone is already unlocked. I will follow your suggestion. Thx!
Any other suggestion?
Downgrade SPL and install official Mango (7.5)?
Well, after trying many solutions that didn't help me, I sent my phone to mobiletechvideos (google it as I'm still not allowed to post outside links here) and they unbricked it! SWEET!
They were able to restore the factory default installation and everything is working now! I (obviously) lost all data, but the phone is perfect and I'm installing all updates since 7.5 using Zune. If you have a similar problem, I highly recommend their service!
I have been using CM11 (14-03-2014 I believe), without major problems until yesterday. Sometimes my phone seemed to disconnect from my SIM and I had to re-enter my pin code to reconnect to my operators network. But as of yesterday my device doesn't seem to recognize the SIM card, It doesn't ask for a code at all and can't make any connection whatsoever. I didn't change a thing, this problem started out of the blue.
I wiped cache and dalvik, updated to the latest CM nightly (08-05) but that didn't make any difference. In other threads I read about the baseband that might need an update, but I can't check which version I have now because when I try to enter the hidden menu I get the no network connection error. The strange thing is that CM11 has worked with (I guess) the stock baseband.
Is my phone tripping or could it be that my SIM card is broken?
Help and thoughts will be very much appreciated
Try it on stock to be sure about it.
After some searching I found a phone that could fit a regular SIM card, a Blackberry 9900. My SIM worked perfect in this phone, so that is not the problem.
I Also did a complete wipe and installed a stable version of CM 10.1.3, but that didn't seem to help. I hoped that a downgrade would have done the trick. I might try a ICS ROM or the stock firmware, but I kind of lost hope and i'm starting to think this problem is hardware related in stead of software. I'll report back with results on stock firmware and the ICS ROM.
How can I make sure the SIM reader in my phone is working properly?
Sorry for double posting, but I got an update:
SIM wasn't working with ICS so I decided to go back to the stock ROM. However, when I tried to flash V20B.kdz with KDZ_FW_UPD, the program got stuck at wParam=2010 and iParam=210. The phone is now stuck in S/W Update mode, and I haven't found a way to restore it yet. I will argue a little more with my phone when I get back from work, I'll open a new thread on how to unbrick when I can't do it myself.

I have the same problem, and exactly the same error at reflash.
Dead end. Buy a new phone .
I tried to flash it about 80 times. One guy from a gsm repair has a bit luck and make it work at the first, but then, when he wanted to repair my imei, the phone stucked again in S/W Upgrade.
My note 5 is the duos version, imported in Romania from Taiwan (SM_9208) After updating to Marshmallow yesterday, everything worked fine except for on thing: it doesn't find my Wi-Fi network from home anymore and the only way I can connect to it is by going to,, add network " and manually inserting the ssid and PASSWORD because it doesn't appear on the available networks list. Thst means that every time I turn my wireless off and then on, I have to repeat that process.
I haven't had the chance to try any other WiFi network, but I tried with other phones to connect to the network and they found it and connected to it without any problem. Furthermore, any third party app like WiFi analyser is able to see the network.
Do you guys have any idea how I could possibly solve this?
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Try to backup your phone and then do a factory reset.
I factory reset after update OTA and everything work perfect.
uhm... does n9208 has update for MM already? if you have links kindly share tnx in advance
I tried doing the factory reset and it still has that problem.
And I did receive the update yesterday through OTA.
Other suggestions? Thank you, guys!

First, try clearing the cache again. If it still does not work, the update may have downloaded improperly so some file are corrupted. It will continue to use the same corrupted files even if you reset. Have your tried flashing the stock Taiwan Rom using Odin?
//LATER EDIT: I finally made it work by simply changing the wireless network's name. For some reason, my phone wouldn't find the network with its default name.
Hi,
First, I want to say that I have been looking though many threads with similar problems but I have not found any that have worked for me. If someone could point me to the thread that will solve this problem I would greatly appreciate it.
So my situation is that tablet boots to the "Welcome! Start >" screen and when I hit Start it says "An unauthorized attempt has been made to reset your device to factory default settings. Connect to a Wi-Fi or mobile network to verify your identity." When I move the WiFi switch to "ON" it immediately goes back to "OFF".
I would like to find a way to enable the WiFi so I can enter my credentials but so far all my attempts have failed.
I am running
SAMSUNG/GTS210VEWIFIXX/GS210VEWIFI
6.0.1/MMB29M/T813XXU2APJ1
MMB29M.T813XXU2APJ1
Any attempts to downgrade to T813XXU1APF4_T813XAR1APF1_HOME.tar.md5 in ODIN v3.13 have resulted in [aboot] Fused 2 > Binary 1
Any suggestions to get my tablet up and running again would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
After installing COMBINATION_OXA_FA60_T813XXU2API1_OXAFAC_CL7807521_BoxWares.tar.md5, enabling USB debugging, and then installing stock ROM T813XXU2APJ1_T813XAR2APJ1_HOME.tar.md5 I was able to boot to the home screen and login as a guest.
However, in guest mode I cannot enable the Wifi or Bluetooth switches to ON. They just go back to OFF.
I also cannot enable Wifi as Owner so I can enter my login information.
If anyone has any ideas on how to turn Wifi back on I would greatly appreciate the help.

Reinstall the combo firmware then enter settings and factory reset.
Reinstall stock firmware.
I reinstalled the Combo Firmware, did a factory reset from settings, and reinstalled the Stock ROM but the WIFI & Bluetooth will still not enable.
I am waiting to for some other versions of Stock ROM to download and then install to see if it makes any difference.

Are you flashing the WHOLE firmware?
The full firmware I have tried installing so far I have gotten from Updato: T813XXU2APJ1_T813XAR2APJ1_HOME.tar.md5, T813XXU2APK6_T813XAR2APK6_HOME.tar.md5, & T813XXU2BQD1_T813XAR2BQD1_HOME.tar.md5 which was the firmware I had updated to before downgrading to APJ1.
The tablet has only been used a couple of times so I find it hard to believe the chip is damaged. I bought it as an open box from a retailer with no signs of use.
It was after I did a FRP when I couldn't remember my password when all the trouble started.
Is there some firmware that consists of BL, AP, CSC files that is used during factory setup that I can install?
