Hello everyone, I own a samsung galaxy beam, a rare android phone with a built in projector, yes a very rare phone. If you think being rare is cool well sometimes it's not, no support, no custom roms, no updates because this phone has a small user base and was only launch in singapore..
anyways, i rooted my phone several months ago, was fun OC the phone and other rooted apps, my phone was stable with a 1ghz OC for several months.. so a few days ago since i had nothing better to do, i had an app called vmheap, the heap size was set to 48mb if im not mistaken, so i tried lowering the settings to 24mb(android default) just to see if there was any improvement and the phone was less sluggish, i tested this for a few days.. so than i tried to lower it to 16mb and BOOM, my phone is into a boot loop, it restarts every time and Im not able to go to the vmheap app because it reboots and soon as i hit it, the notification bar, the home button, menu, the back button does not work. The recovery buttons does not work for this phone, i tried many key combinations and i only managed to get to the download mode... So I was not so worried, because I have some experience in flashing roms, ive updated my galaxy s2 rom twice with no errors..
So i decided to flash my rom with odin, i followed this guide here in youtube
youtube.c om/watch?v=nCpNh0adYpg
and use this rom
androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-beam-i8520-dxji1-21-firmware/
odin detects my phone and turns yellow, i click start and dam im stuck in setupconnection...
I tried so many ways,
start odin first, unplug battery, plug in battery while holding the download mode key combination, different cable, different pc, antivirus, firewall off, installed kies, uninstall kies, end task kies in system tray.. i tried every possible way for 50 times, and i never had this problem with my galaxy s2..
i even installed abd and i was wondering is it possible to mouth the sd card and obtain the build.prop while in download mode? i am unable to get it done because of the boot loop..
so please anyone give me some advice.. i bought this phone on a different country(singapore) and there is no service centre here where i live in malaysia that supports this model..
im just wondering how do i fix the odin problem when i get stuck in setupconnection..
is there any other flashing tools for android besides heimdall?
