[Captivate General] Diametunim:
Hey guys I'm posting today because I have a little problem or a huge problem I should say at this point. Anyways, I've owned a Captivate since they first came out a couple months ago. I've never had any problems with mine up until about 2 or 3 months ago when the phone started doing something weird. The bottom row of soft buttons on the phone will press themselves. Now only the back button and home button press themselves. The problem started out around the time I flashed Serendipity for the first time (not blaming the rom) I noticed the buttons would press themselves randomly at times and it started out slow, maybe once or twice a day and it didn't really annoy me. Flash forward to today and my phone is practically unusable because of this problem. Any time I wake the device from sleep the home and back buttons will rapidly press themselves over and over and over until I furiously tap either button to get the buttons to stop pressing themselves.

The problem will restart itself about 30 seconds after stopping it and It never stops. I've tried numerous re-flashes with no avail. At first I thought the problem was caused by a bad flash on my part because the problem started after I had just flashed a new rom. But I've known for a while now that wasn't the case. I've never dropped this phone or submerged it in water. This problem just popped up out of the blue one day and never went away.

Do I have a defective phone?

Thanks for the help.
[Captivate General] whiteguypl:
Had the same problem, not to the extent your having more like once an hour they would go crazy. Placed the phone in some rice over night and the problem was gone. Im pretty sure, for me at least, was condensation had worked its way under the glass and was causing contact problems. Worth a shot for you. Never had the problem again after that.

I never even found out how it happened, though I suspect the steam from a hot shower did it.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
how is your gps? if it sucks, go for warranty while you can, samsung has a 1 year warranty cross your fingers for a better replacement, or if you go through Att and you get a refurb who knows..... the board inside wont match the date under the battery and who knows how it will work.
[Captivate General] Diametunim:
I'll try the rice thing, can't believe I've never thought of that. I've never dropped water on the phone but it has been in the bathroom with me when I've taken showers or what not. Thanks for the idea.

My GPS does indeed suck, It takes about 5-10 minutes to get a lock on anything sitting outside. My phones still under warranty until this November so I think if I don't solve the problem soon I'll just get a new one.

Does ATT upgrade the phone to a newer version if you replace it with the warranty? I might hold out until ATT releases the Cappy 4g or whatever they're going to call it.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoorderlaksa85:
Hi, I've installed CM7 and it's loading perfectly fine on the 1st boot-up, with the set-ups and stuff.

However I noted several time that if the batt were to go flat (because I forgot to charge) or if I were to reboot the phone, the 2nd boot-up will not load up at all.

I've tried this several times (even to the extent of letting it boot-up and wait until the battery is flat) but it still doesn't boot up.

Any idea if it's a bug or something went wrong?

I've wiped everything before installing the ROM, so wasn't too sure what's the problem.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I want to update from GreyBlur 1.0 -> 2.1. How do I do that? Will all my stuff in my Atrix be deleted? How do I backup all my stuff?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dubee24:
i just did it, nothing got deleted wit mine. the same way it was done with 1.0, go to the grey blur web site download the update which is in the small print under the 2.1 download put it on your sd card run tefnars recovery and install from the sd card

From GreyBlur Website

# After success, plug your Atrix 4G into the wall adapter

# Verify that your phone is charging from the wall

# Press “Recovery Boot”

# Your device will now slowly reboot into Tenfar’s CWM Recovery

# Click “install zip from sdcard” or “internal sdcard”

# Choose zip from sdcard

# Pick the GingerBlur or GreyBlur .zip

# Install it!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] underdose:
But one last question, can you tell me how to backup all my stuff in my phone such as contacts, applications, etc.? In case I need to in the future. :) TIA.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weaz_da_smel:
*User data i.e. contacts, music, picture etc can be backed up via phone portal app

*Sms can be backed up via App's available in the app store.

*I don't think you can back up apps specifically but if you're worried about the paid apps they are recorded on your market login, so you can re-download them if lost whenever free of further charge.

That's all that seems important.... Necessarily the update won't remove your apps, contacts or sms's......:)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mckibbon17:
I used Titanium Backup it backs up all aps saved info and all that good stuff :)

Yea cant get much better then it imo does more if u pay for it but the free works very good tho :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JdeFalconr:
You can also use CWM recovery to back things up. It should have been installed along with Greyblur. My understanding (correct me if wrong) is that it backs up just about everything.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jai134:
Bricked my xoom with wrong imagefile when rooting it.

I would like to know which part, if possible, to replace to get some life in my xoom. I'm stuck at the Motorola logo screen with "Starting RSD 3 mode" or nothing. Can't connect to it with RSD-Lite, ADB or fastboot. I cant connect to it from any of my computers. I have a Linux 32-bit and a win7 64-bit.

So,this is my question.

Can I replace something in the tab to get access to it? Something that comes "preloaded" with the software that I need to communicate with the device using ADB or fastboot? I think, if it's possible to do that, I can flash new imagefiles found in this forum to it.

To tear it down I found this guide:

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Xoom-Teardown/4989/1

What do you think? Is it possible? And, if so, where can I find that piece of hardware? Motorola company spareparts? Thats the hardest I think.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowminh:
I have the exact error as you do! How do we unbrick this error??? :confused:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jai134:
I think it's impossible without sending it in for replacement or repair. It would be nice if someone who repairs it tell me what they did when they repaired it. If it's a hardware replacement or some kind of "forced" flash of new software. I hope they have some software tools that we in the community doesn't have. If so, it shouldn't be so expensive.

My problem is that I bought it from a person who bought it from Best Buy in New York. I don't have any warranty because I'm not the one who bought it and here in Sweden they won't repair it because they don't have a service-agreement with Motorola yet. So I have to do it myself or throw it away.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
Contact your nearest Motorola office directly, they didn't ask for any paperwork to replace mine.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mh333:
I had same problem. Try power, vol- and vol+ all at same time. When it comes back on do power and vol -. that should put you back to fast boot. It worked for me anyway.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jai134:
Yes I did a fast "read-thru" of this thread. My problem is different. I can not reboot into fastboot mode. Only RSD 3 mode, and RSD-Lite can't see it. I tried to flash the 3g sbf file just to see if I could restore the fastboot mode and check if RSD-Lite could do anything at all. Nothing happened. That's why I want to learn a little about hardware and replacement of hardware "things". I think that's the only way for me to fix it.

I'm thankful that you are trying to help but all threads are about fixing things with fastboot and fastboot is DEAD on my xoom.

I am searching for a way to restore fastboot.

Same problem

Hi jai134,

Just wondering if you had any joy with hardware replacement or some other solution? I think my problem is exactly the same as yours. It's RSD mode 3 or nothing! Windows and Linux can't see the device, and no combination of button presses seems to do anything.

The guys at #xoom on freenode very kindly spent a couple of hours trying to help me out last night but to no avail... it turns out I flashed a zip instead of a boot.img using fastboot.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dockheas23:
Hooray!

It worked! My Xoom is unbricked. I made a scary looking factory cable which allowed me to flash with fastboot. My experience was exactly the same as post 41 in the following thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1121650&page=5

Here's one end of the cable. The other end is just a regular type A USB plug.

I soldered some staples to the cable and attached them to a micro-usb male breakout board I got on Amazon (see post 43 of the thread linked above). I'd advise covering the connections and staples with electrical tape. I didn't have any handy and consciously decided to take the risk, but any contact between the staples could have fried the USB ports on the Xoom and/or the computer. I'll be taping this up and keeping it on standby in case it's needed again!

Thanks very much for your help cam30era, and also the guys on IRC at freenode, especially Kas and Solarnz.

[Galaxy 3 General] slomifier:
I scoured google and the forums for a problem similar to mine, and so far, not a single thing Iv'e tried has helped (and I've been trying stuff for ~4 hours now).

After getting my SGS back from the repair shop (for the second time), I took it home, rooted it, and loaded Darky's and SpeedMod on. When I rebooted my phone, the initial SGS screen (with all the writing) froze for ~2 mins, then proceeded onto the "Big S" screen. Once there, it froze, doing it's shimmering thing for ~5 mins, and FINALLY loaded up. Initially launcher refused to open, so I was left with a blank screen with a little status bar at the top. Once it loaded, the phone became so slow that it took at least a min to start any app.

I restarted the phone (seems to help half the time), and same story, so I booted into recovery and was greeted by a blue "2e" menu, not the green CWM menu that SHOULD have shown up, and had shown up only minutes before. (I have SpeedMod CWM).

I reflashed the SpeedMod Kernel, and rebooted my phone. This time, the phone booted up far faster than it had before. I went into the "My Files" app to make sure I remembered to load backups back on, and I get a "No SD Card Inserted". I went into "setting>sd card and phone storage", and both the internal and external sd cards are listed as having an "Unavailable" total and available space value. I tried pressing mount on both ext and int, but it just sits there and doesn't ever actually do anything. (Same story for the format options). I searched around, and tried a few solutions (Tbh, probably couldnt tell you everything that I did). The last thing I tried was repartioning the internal storage. Long story short, lots of steps, but it didn't work.

Im still able to use the phone to make calls and text and everything, its just the internal and external storages that I can't use. As of right now, under the "Sd Card and Phone Storage" screen, all the values are "Unavailable", with the exception of the phone storage, which reads "0.00B".

Note: If I put the SD's into my computer, they're fully read/writable.

2nd Note: Sorry if this really just is a manifestation of the "standard SGS problem". Didn't read of anyone with quite the same problem though.

Thanks. Really don't want to have to ship my phone off for another 2 months, for the 3rd time. :/

Edit: Tried opening the camera app, and I got a Toast: "Turn off USB Storage before using camera"

What the hell do you have against using ODIN? Unless you have a power outage or rip the phone out too quick there won't be an issue. If you want to make it even safer use heimdall.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Answer:

And lots of people already "bricked" their phone by using Odin/Heimdall, including myself (but had a jig luckily). Not blaming the software, it seems to be caused by the USB connection for most people (and I wasn't aware I should NOT use an USB hub as those stickies did not mention it). With Kies it should somewhat safer, never had any issues with it. And why not use it if it's installed already anyway and if he only wants to upgrade to the latest official firmware.

So in case he is just another-messed-up-my-phone guy after flashing he's stuck without help. ;)

As recommended before, delete the wifi settings and set it up again on the phone, maybe that does the trick.

Also, check if you are able to browse a website by browsing its IP instead of its url. Almost sounds like a DNS problem but could be anything really. :P

KIES IS SAFER ????

how many times have we seen thread about bricked devices after OFFICIAL updates.

bricks caused by ODIN is down to user error !! not the porgram itself, people with no knowledge cause bricked phone.

There would be no point of an android phone if ODIN wasnt made, no custom ROMs, No 3 button fix, No kernel, No nothing. it would be like having an iPhone.

ODIN is 100% safe if you know what your doing.

Thanks to several devs here, we now have confirmed that latest flashtool workson Xperia Play.

This means that now we have an option for ugrading, or flashing a bricked device (as many of you know, SEUS will now allow flashing device with an unlocked bootloader).

UK Generic .184 FTF file can be found here (This seems like it is same as World generic from my tests):

http://www.multiupload.com/2IBHV33CU5

Put the FTF file in firmware folder of flashtool before flashing.

Start flash tool, and it will instruct you. Full instructions on flashtool can be found here, be sure to download latest version:

Thanks to Bin4ry and Was for creating the UK Generic FTF file with bootlader.sin for the Play.

Thanks to DooMLoRD for helping during the test of flashtool and FTF.

A last word of warning! Allthough this will flash the Play, there have been observations that Hong Kong Plays wont boot fully. This does NOT mean they are totally bricked. But may need HK version of stock firmware to flash.
