HELP!!!

Hi, I recently wanted to try out Simply Honey XE Pro edition and flashed it, then decided i wanted to flash back to Trigger, but now when I plug my phone into the wall charger or to my comp via usb, my phone automatically shuts off, and will only turn on when I unplug it. Any help is greatly appreciated, I have been doing a lot of research on Google and on XDA, but I haven't been able to find anything. Please help.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Odin to stock with repartition and then restore your backup of trigger. If youre not doing full wipes between flashes you're not getting clean installs and ghosts can be left behind.
[Vibrant Android Development] chunkiemunster:
Thank you so much for your response. I have Odined to JFD and reflashed again, but the same thing happens. I've tried flashing to Bionix jus to see if its the Modems or kernels, but still it happens.

I'm curious about the repartition, because from a lot of Odin threads, they say NOT to check the repartition box. I jus want to know what it does exactly before I repartition my phone. Is it like PC? where I'm going to need to find drivers for my phone after I repartition? if so, does anyone know where to find drivers?

Again, thank you for your response. I have been going CRAZY!!! trying to figure this out.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Yeah the only time you really need to check repartition and use the 512 pit file is if you run into problems such as you're having. I've honestly not heard of this problem before. I'd give this method a try and see if the problem still persists.

Oh and no you won't need to find drivers or anything. All it does is completely wipe the system files and reformat your file system to stock. All of your SDcard will be intact both internal and external, that is if you didn't do anything else to them.

Now just to be clear you said this happens anytime you plug the phone in not just when you plug to a computer?
[Vibrant Android Development] chunkiemunster:
Yeah. it doesnt matter if its into the wall charger or into the computer, it shuts down a few seconds after it is plugged in.

For the wall charger, after I plug it in, it freezes after 2-3 seconds and shuts off (without going to shutdown animation or anything, just abruptly shuts down.)

For the laptop/comp, after I plug it in, the phone recognizes the usb connection and my laptop recognizes the phone connection, but after 5-6 seconds the phone shuts down abruptly also.

I am worried about repartitioning my phone. It seems like it is generally avoided in most threads. Do you happen to know anyone who has done it before??? I jus want to be sure and not have a black phone.

Again, thank you for your help.
[Vibrant Android Development] chunkiemunster:
Jus tried it. same thing happens. :(

It wont even stay on long enough for the first boot. After Odin, it goes to boot and shuts off even before the first boot. I have to unplug it for the boot to finish and the reset to finish.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Okay I'm not sure what combination of flashes, roms and kernels, you've flashed. Sounds like the USB may be going on it. I had my USB fail completely because of what may have been a kernel choice and then a subsequent kernel flash but I did drop it like that week and I ended up bricking the phone trying to solve the problem. I was able to get a warranty replacement. Hopefully you purchased your phone through T-mobile. If so just call and let them know whats going on. They'll probably ask you to do a factory reset which probably won't work. They'll then let you have a warranty replacement as long as it's not physically damaged, screen not broken, tag behind the battery still white and not red (water damage). They'll send it out in just a few days, quicker if you want to pay $20 for shipping.

Wish I could help more but not having the phone in front of me.
[Vibrant Android Development] chunkiemunster:
Thank you for your help. But, yeah, I already have water damage on my phone. Dropped it in the toilet TWICE. but, its been running great until now. My girlfriend's phone has the same issue, but her phone shuts off occasionally but not every time. And she's never dropped her phone in water. so im stuck. iguess imma jus use spare batteries and use the generic battery charger to charge my phone now. :(

thanks again for ur help tho. much appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] chunkiemunster:
YEAH!!!!!!!

I Odin again and repartitioned again and now it WORKS!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much. O man, I have been frustrated with this for a week now, trying hours everynight to try to solve it. But now, yes, I finally have my phone back. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I will donate to you brother. It won't be much (still a broke college student) but I will remember you when I make it BIG! hahahaha. thanks again.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH! Love XDA. the GOAT!
[Vibrant Android Development] chunkiemunster:
Also, I like your ROM very much, but I went back to Trigger because I couldn't mount my phone to my comp. was it because my comp didn't have the driver already installed? Because usually I would just plug it in and it would automatically install a driver, but with your ROM it wouldn't do anything. I tried KIES and it didn't work either. But, I very much like your ROM tho.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
You might want to update your drivers just in case. Go here http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SGH-T959ZKATMB. As long as your not changing anything other than roms, kernels, and modem (such as bootloaders) you should be fine with the Vibrant drivers. Other than my USB failing completely I've never had a problem connecting at least something.

Just click the link then click software then choose the second option XP/Vista. This will manually install the drivers for you.

Oh and glad it worked out. Stay away from the john when using the phone. LOL
[Vibrant Android Development] chunkiemunster:
LOL. Will try from now on. haha, dropped it at my Work toilet and at home.

But just wanted to thank you again, because I ran out of thanks for the day.
[Vibrant Android Development] Specialist88:
I know there are black Android themes available, but are there others we can use to theme this ROM?
[Vibrant Android Development] bert269:
Really, Really LOVE this rom.

Thanks for this great rom. I honestly enjoy it and it works perfectly. I have not encountered one problem with it and am happy with it as a daily driver.

Any change of upgrading it with the latest JS8 source ?? (but please keepthe transparent Gmail app....that makes this ROM so unique.)

Again - thank you!
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
JS8 isn't new and this rom is actually a hybrid of JS5, JS7 and JS8.
[Vibrant Android Development] jayclip80:
Great rom.. my only issue is that it would be nice when the phone is charging it stay Awake... Thats something i would like to be fix in the next version

" Great rom.. my only issue is that it would be nice when the phone is charging it stay Awake... Thats something i would like to be fix in the next version"

Really? I thought all adroid phones came with that option stock, out of the box.....? I guess ur the only unlucky one :-(
[Vibrant Android Development] Mirmensky:
Really? None of my android phones have ever stayed awake while charging automatically. I've always used Caffeine to keep it awake while charging.

Love this rom, been my daily driver since its release. Really smooth and maybe one random reboot the entire time. Literally everything works so great except that when I'm driving and am listening to music and I get a phone call, the call won't go through the speakers and the caller cannot hear me. Used to have this problem with 2.2 kernels before the source was released.

Other than that I'm really happy with it! Keep up the great work!
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
Been too busy w/work to spend time w/my baby. But had time to play with her tonight and just wanted to show how awesome the idle drain is on the Xoom.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Yeah it is great. I generally lose 0-1% on 8 hours of standby with WiFi on.
[Xoom General] bronxknight28:
yea and yours is stock right? imagine what we can get out of it with more reliable battery saving kernels
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
It's awesome although I never very high tablet idle because I have a bunch of crap running in the background - GMail, 3 IMAP accounts every 10 mins, Twitter every 15 mins, Facebook every 30 mins, etc etc.

I still get about 8 hours of standby on 10% of battery with WiFi. When I'm on 3G though it drains a lot quicker.
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
100% stock and not even rooted & yes, my wifi is on 100% of the time!
[Xoom General] labrazil:

[Xoom General] z06mike:
Why don't you use your Xoom instead of letting it sit idle???
[Xoom General] shakuyi:
when you say wifi on 100% you mean you have the disconnect policy set to never (last option)
[Xoom General] green94:
I laughed.
[Xoom General] socomdark:
yea i love it also. If you underclock it like around 912 or 760mhz then you get pretty good battery life for the whole day. If you play any games or watch any videos then you can always go back up
[Xoom General] wang1404:
I was playing gun bros last night. Played for about an hour but then stopped and got caught up to something else. I didn't quit the game either. I totally forgot I was playing it until recently. The game was on for a whole day. 50% of juice still left ;)
[Xoom General] jland22:
One thing that caught my eye which seems to not be a problem as it was on my htc incredible is that something (app related) is keeping my xoom awake. For example the xoom batter says its been on for 4 hours and the awake time (under system status) says 4 hours. I couldnt figue out which app was causing this so I did a test to see if this awake time was actually draining battery as it was on my incredible.

In short I charged my battery to 100% before going to bed and restarted xoom to start from 0hours awake and 0hours battery use. Checked it 8 or 9 hours later and saw that my awake time was exactly that of battery use time however my battery read 100% with that much time being awake (by app).

Thus the awake time although drained my incredible does not impact my xoom enough to really care about. Hopefully this may help if anyone else is OCD about awake versus sleep times.
[Xoom General] ClydeB1:
IIRC, I read a post somewhere here saying this awake problem was caused by the WeatherBug app (IIRC that is ;)).
[Xoom General] jland22:
Yeah I read that as well. I dont have weatherbug though! I dunno what it is, I tried deleting apps and testing and couldnt find the culprit. Seems to not impact the battery whatsoever as I tested it overnight with 100% battery charge and woke up with 100% battery despite being awake all night.

The only thing that stays awake in my running services it seems is my android keyboard so it may be related to that or an app keeping my keyboard awake. All other processes are consistant with the screen on time.
[Xoom General] wang1404:
Weatherbug sure is full of bugs :-) . In fact I used it and deleted it.
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
It's the latest CNN app, it launches a service which keeps the XOOM awake. It shows up as Android System. If your Android System awake time is high it's CNN.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Yep CNN for me too. Its only if u use the widget though it seems. Using the app normally doesn't cause the wakelock.
[Xoom General] poisike:
I'm using Weatherbug on my wifi only Xoom without any problems. I haven't tried the widget, maybe that's where the problem is.
[Xoom General] wang1404:
Yep its the widget problem. It drains battery.
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
cuz i been crazy busy at work taking care of bugs before our release next week! by the time i get home, i just wanna eat shower and go to bed ;)
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
hmm, i don't know about that option? what's it do?

i meant, i didn't turn off the wifi before letting it sleep to reduce the drain, i just keep the wifi on 24/7
[Xoom General] shakuyi:
if you goto your settings -> wireless and networks

look at the option "wifi disconnect policy" is it set to "never (uses more battery power)" or "when screen turns off"

[XPERIA X10 General] THEONEANDONLYSIMMO:
Hi, I recently rooted my X10 mini pro using Z4ROOT, I then messed around with a few settings using liberty tools, I changed the LCD density and now my icons are big and ugly, I cannot change the density back to 120, it just stays the same.

I have also tried to root it properly using android SDK, however, this has no success at all at rooting my device.

I have tried copying and editing build.prop (I opened it up on notepad and changed the density value to 120) and tried to paste it back into system, would you know it I dont have permissions.

I have also tried to edit the original build prop file using a text editing app i have installed on my device.

How can i change my LCD Density back to its original state??

Thanks,

[XPERIA X10 General] CMoney87:
flash back to 2.1 with flashtool and then use the flashtool to root. You don't need superuser permission to get into flash mode. You obviously didn't really root the device or you would be able to grant SU permissions. Also there is an X10 Mini Pro forum you should have posted there.
[XPERIA X10 General] Ipy219:
Use adb mask controller...it's somewhere in the forum i don't know exactly where. It's easy to use..btw don t forget to enable usb debuging

It was rooted using a crappy exploit that z4root does.

superuser works, its just the OK button is to far down the screen to click, and i am going to try the flashtool now, thanks guys

Hello

First off: I'm not an D Inc user myself (i'm an x10) but I am trying to fix a friends verizon dInc

Second: I have tried searching for hours(plus yesterday) and have not come up with a solution.

My problem: The phone was in a bootloop that was stuck in the HTC Incredible splash screen.

Research/Tried Methods:

- I have tried hboot: it is version .92 and radio is 2.0.15 S-ON

- I have used doug piston's original BP31IMG stock rom on hboot

- Have tried RUU but won't recognize the device at all because i can't really turn the phone on

- Have tried to flash CWM recovery 2.5 and 3.0 but its just stuck on "Checking BP31IMG.zip" using hboot and still nada ( Could i be using the wrong files? )

-hboot problem: Phone finds the BP31IMG.zip checks, parses, and asks me to "Update" --> i press vol+ to yes...

I then see a blue dot on [1]Bootloader then quickly after BLACKSCREEN

The phone doesnt boot after that. I've tried it multiple times but to no avail.

Can anyone please point me to the proper steps.

Thank you very much!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyleBS:
From past experience, I know that you can use the RUU in hboot. If you haven't yet, give that a whirl.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casianm:
just attempted your pointer

But now that i boot into hboot, the setup from where it left off is continuing.

EXCEPT: Radio_V2 FAILED...this doesn't sound good but scared to stop the setup:confused:

EDIT: Said Partition Update Failed
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyleBS:
Perhaps try pulling the battery and retrying. After just throwing my own phone into hboot, I realized that it was actually fastboot that I meant to say works (first option in hboot). But if not that, I'd say something is fried. Did your friend mess up a radio update because thats a sure way to brick a phone.

Edit: After a little googling, here is something a person with a desire said fixed it for them.

[Surround General] marcemoyano:
Hello people!

I'm testing this HTC surround i got today.

My questions are 2:

1- does the HTC surround IMPROVES the smooth performance on apps etc when upgrading a ROM? or using a custom one?. ..

2 - Below its my information from the about of the phone, can someone tell me if i "have to" upgrade this versions with a new ROM? ... or its the same and the phone wont change at all these days ....

os version 7.0.7004.0

firmware rev version 2250.09.10307.502

hardware rev version 0003

radio software version 5.51.09.06_22.30.50.09H

radio hardware version A.26.0.D4

Bootloader version 1.3.2250.7(111288)

Chip SOC version 2.2.5.0

I'm asking this because:

i own an iphone4. it works flawlessly and i see some jaggy animations on the HTC surround....

and i own a HTC HD2! with a WP7 ROM! and I THINK IT WORKS BETTER than the original HTC SURROUND ROM that i've from factory ....

THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HELP!!!

CHEERS!

Marcelo.
[Surround General] talontsi07:
Future ROM updates may increase performance it depends on what kind of fixes they have made.

As for Custom ROM's, a well put together ROM will typically improve performance but decrease in reliability.

Looks like you haven't got the pre-nodo update, its 7008 were yours is 7004. Sync your device with Zune and it will ask you to update.
[Surround General] marcemoyano:
thanks man! :) ill try that.
[Surround General] marcemoyano:
i just tried and the zune software says that my phone is up to date on 7004... :(

is there a way to make the update manually?
[Surround General] talontsi07:
What carrier are u with?

Go to settings in Zune and check for updates. It should just pop up when u plug it in but since its not try that.

Cheesy update method

You can trick your phone into updating, all the way to NoDo if you'd like.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1015131

Essentially:

1. Start Zune

2. Turn off Data connection and Wifi on the Phone

3. Connect the Phone with the PC (USB)

4. Start the update search in Zune

5. About 3 seconds later, disconnect your PC from the internet (Turn WLAN off).

6. Zune finds NoDo-Update. Press OK.

7. Connect to the internet again and install the update.

Worked great for me.
