Samsung Galaxy Exhibit II (T679)
When plugged in, it shows the battery starting to charge for about 5 seconds before it reboots to the same spot.
When not plugged in, it powers on by itself to the samsung logo for about 5 seconds before it reboots to that same spot.
Tried accessing fastboot mode by holding vol up and power but that didn't work.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
If you can't access fastboot you may have an issue. Give me a second to do a search on your phone to get a little bit of background info. I'll add to this when I have a better idea of what you need to do.
UPDATE:
This is not my work, I found it on XDA. Follow these instructions to get the phone operational again:
Flash to stock via Odin
Thanks to stubbakatt for the original back to stock directions.
DISCLAIMERS:
This works with Windows XP/Vista/7. It also works with Win7 running via VMWare Fusion on Macs running Snow Leopard and Lion.
FILES NEEDED:
Download Odin (Google it) and the stock factory images: uvlg3.odin.zip
Samsung USB Drivers: click here - if you're rooted/rommed, you probably already have these
Samsung Drivers for "Download" mode: click here or click here - if phone is not recognized by PC when in Download mode
STEPS:
Odin does not reset /data, so do a factory reset - this will wipe out the /data partition,leaving you ready to flash back to stock. If you don't do a reset, your stock install most likely will not work. (YOU CAN DO THIS AFTER THE FLASH BY USING FASTBOOT)
Make sure the computer recognizes your phone with the drivers above (again, this is probably already the case if you're having to do this!)
Unzip the uvlg3.odin.zip to wherever you want - preferably somewhere easy to get to (desktop?).
Power down your phone. Once it's off, hold down the volume-down button and press power. Hold both down until you see the "Warning!!" message with the yellow triangle at the bottom. Once you see that, hit the volume-up button. This puts you into Odin/download mode.
Plug your phone into your computer.
Open "Odin Multi Downloader v4.43.exe". Once it opens, the Message window at the bottom left should read "Added!!!" and "Detected!!!".
Make sure all four of the Options are checked (One Package, Auto Reboot, Protect OPS, Reset Time [mine's set to 300 seconds]). I don't know if this is all necessary, but at the very least One Package and Auto Reboot appear to be.
On the right side, click the "OPS" button, and select/open the Ancora.ops file.
At the bottom, click the "One Package" button, and select/open the "T679LG3.tar" file.
The Message window should do an md5 check and end with "Check MD5... ok". If it doesn't, try redownloading again - don't want to flash a corrupt file!
If all of that is good to go, then select the "Start" button.
Your mileage will vary, but it should take around 5 minutes, then the phone reboots itself into recovery mode (the little white box with the progress bar), then about 30 seconds after that and the phone fully reboots. Don't unplug it yet. After a few minutes (actually, the 300 seconds set in the "reset time" in Odin), it will say "Pass!!!" and you're good to go and can unplug the phone.
You should now have a phone that's identical to when you pulled it out of the box.
