[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nirajkrm:
I have the same problem after my Riff JTAG around 3-4 days back. I have the unlock Code but it's not prompting me to input one. My Service Tag Number has also gone 000000.

(I am not sure if Streak Unlocker will be able to unlock my phone and therefore not paid $29 yet though the test shows it can. But then Test was showing it can unlock by phone even when it was already unlocked.)

I guess JTAG has somehow re-written the BIOS and not sure what to do next. I have tried Stock ROMs but still not getting the prompt to put unlock code. I am considering to get the JTAG done again and get everything written properly or try Streak Unlocker after paying $29.

There must be a way to put the unlock Code in Engineering mode or by keying in some number like *#123UNLOCK321#* or find & write the code manually. If streak unlocker can do it there must be way to do it manually too.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Well the streak has to store some special data somewhere, stuff like the service tag among them.

If you can get your hands on a couple of working, stock streaks, you might want to consider trying to dump that data and seeing what's shared among all streaks what what is unique. Very least it might give you a clue on why yours isnt working/displays no service tag
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nirajkrm:
If some one has a better or rather a more practical idea..Please help. Getting couple of Streaks is almost impossible here (India) and further getting them on Stock ROM will be equally impossible at most of the places (how many ppl you find around.... having a streak?)

I have the unlock code.......Just need a way to enter it....I am not getting this prompt on any ROM I have tried QDL, Stock O2, Stock AT&T. Stock Hong Kong (354) ...and have hit the wall
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alahdal:
I am really SAD for you. my mobile still with my friend and so far I do not know what is the status (I am just waiting :( ). Have you done a full backup before it got bricked. If so, try full restore (This what I asked my friend to do).
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamu:
Same Problem!!

I had the same problem with my DS. It shows a message Default NV selected #3 while loading in fastboot mode. so i guess something went wrong while setting the default NV to 3??.

Valid SIM card is no longer detected and gives notification saying No SIM Card.

It was a factory unlocked phone and was bricked last month by the command fastboot -w.

since this command erased the user data from somewhere inside the phone(either Internal SD card or the ROM), there should be some ways to re-write those data to those locations.

If any one is familiar to develop some kinda application that can write to those locations then pleaseeeeeeeeee try this out for us.. we can root the device if needed..

If anyone with same problem has got any solutions then please do share with me too..

my email address is : aryal_yamu@yahoo.com

Thanks in advance
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
JTAGging the Streak is the only way to revive a Streak that has been hit with a fastboot -w. And as you have seen from the rest of the thread it's very likely the Streak will never be able to make calls again after recovery. There are multiple other users in the forum dealing with bricked Streaks, and out of all of them, I believe only one was able to restore phone capability.

Changing MicroSD cards and/or ROMs won't help because the affected area is in the Streak's BIOS (for lack of a better term). The service tag and SIM card low-level interface firmware are stored in the BIOS.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamu:
There gotta be a way out of it!!

Hi eveyone!

Now i ended up to a dell streak tablet(was phone) after i did the "fastboot -w" .

The guys from dell mailed me yesterday that they can recover it but would cost me 179.9 pounds(Which i bought for 200 pounds). Is that fair?? to charge 179 for repairing a phone that can be bought at 200?? So i decided not to send to the dell store for repair.

Since i am not an expert I am not sure about this ,But i think there is a way out of this problem, I mean if "fastboot -w" command erases the data from "god knows which location" then there can be a command like "fastboot -wr location data_to_be_copied" which simply copies some thing that is missing due to fastboot -wr command??

Is there anyone who can Reverse Engineer the fastboot and figure out from where the data was deleted and what was deleted and the way to restore those data there???

Thanks in advance to those who would analyze the fastboot and its data flow and try to help coz there are lot of people waiting for this..
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _n0p_:
We have 8 nand partitions (/dev/block/mtdblock0-7)

One is for kernel boot image, other might contain system, bb, firstboot and other stuff.

Maybe the answer is there?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Fastboot -w/erase likely corrupts the partition table on the innerSD,

seeing as it was prob due to dell never updating their fastboot loader to take it into account. (The Venue doesnt have this issue as it doesnt have an innerSD).

You can fix it by either restoring it to a known good image (there's a thread on the main subforum) or by manually repartitioning your innerSD.

You will need to disassemble your S5 to do it (regardless of who does it) and a pc with a SD/microSD port then just reimage it, it's not very difficult besides the disassembling part.

The firmwares are on the nand, but we cant read to it, and the only way to (safely) write to it is the stock rec.
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
As some of you may have noticed a few threads have dissappeared in the DEV section

This is because of two reasons, the first being the Developer wanting to leave xda, the second being the sheer level of bad language to be found in them.

I also want to remind everyone that opening a topic to ask a developers to come back is not helpful or wanted, and they are currently being deleted. And those certain members who feel hat they have been wronged and start rom bashing. will be dealt with severely

Please Feel free to PM me or any other mod with a concern

best regards

[XPERIA X10 General] viper619:
Can u post some harsh rules in the forum?? Like banning abusers etc??.

VIPER
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
no x10 section is under the enter forums rules, however if a person spams or trolls then they get seen to fast
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
In other words the rules you agreed to when you registered.

:)
[XPERIA X10 General] svtfmook:
an idea, or suggestion, but...

i [read no one of importance] think this would be an opportune time to clean things up in the different forums, maybe enforce a general guideline for devs in thread naming and structure, maybe eliminate some of the stickies that are no longer needed [ie 2.1 after effects and 2.1 rom coming soon, petition for froyo, etc] so more important stickies don't get lost in sticky land [ie forum rules/guidelines].

i think with some structure and uniform, people wouldn't be so quick with the "create another thread about gingerbread coming" mentality.

just a suggestion and in no way telling anyone how to moderate their forum.
[XPERIA X10 General] rtblittlebrown:
This dev who shall not be named has many people who adrore or hate him . The people who liked him are now taking everychance to criticize other devs
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
ill be getting round to this later today
[XPERIA X10 General] Mr. Clown:
Apparently this has arise again today, it was matter of time. We need a community of sharing and friendly environment without threads turning in flame wars and offensive. Actions will be trigger to those who fuel this no matter what their status are (devs or members).

Thanks,
[XPERIA X10 General] Mortyx10:
Just one question could you please kindly explain why you mods just delete Trip's threads while you clean up other threads If the same thing happens? I think if you ban the flamers does the job not to delete the whole thing. Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
Wow. I thought it was over. What the hell happened??????????

It's not even been a month since it happened the last time. This is saddening.
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
It doesn't help that the dev I shall not name is a flamer himself.

Just saying.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Yep! I agree. I stopped posting in his threads, but I do read. And i gotta say, he says alot of ignorant crap directed at other devs. Its a bit taunting really. I would flame the hell out of him, but im not in the mood to get banned..
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
you mean like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4m4wbYc08k

Edit: Actually, I don't want to get banned either :p Please delete if you think its in bad taste
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Hahahaha yes! Like that.

Way to bring in the humor
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Free open source is being misused. These devs are contributing for free. Free source doesn't mean we can expect slavery or even cooperation.

What? Are you going to say that since a person isn't updating or contributing fast enough, or even having disagreements with others, that they don't deserve the opportunity to participate in an open and free forum?

Edit: Not to mention, that most of the people *****ing are senior members who contribute nothing more than assistance to noobs who break more xda rules than any developer, and the fact that Trip provides some of the best ROMs for the X10 should elevate him to untouchable status.

Anyone who talks **** about Trip better be a majorly contributing developer, otherwise just shut up.
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
I agree with you. They offer a ROM that is free for everyone to use. Where does it say that they are obliged to update it? Whether they do or don't is completely up to them. As for the flaming and taunting, I do not agree with that and everyone, whether its a dev, mod or member should exercise courtesy and respect towards others. It seems that this forum has turned into a soap opera lately which is really disappointing.
[XPERIA X10 General] laill:
Just a small thinking.Well,I don't want to be banned:)

Just ignore me if this is offensive:p

You firstly mentioned that that dev doesn't have the intension to continue his work.But I am wondering if he had given such comments here on his/other posts.Would you mind to provide some evidence?I am pretty sure that you deleted the posts after you have read some of his comments.

For the sheer level of bad language,I always read post.

In a war,yes,it is no doubt that some devs here are/were arguing because someone want to protect his own work,personally I think it would be better to define the level of bad language.Calling people a copycat,saying someone is a glitch violate the rules?Language is not maths,meanings of word varies from person to person.

Also,it is understanding that someone speaks bit rudely when he is in anger.

Furthermore,what if that dev really can show some evidence that someone might forget to give him credit?

Thanks for reading

[XPERIA X10 General] jingjonas:
Really disappointed about what has happened here. I woke up to see the x10 forums in pieces.

I'm sure the aim of this forum is to forge cohesiveness between users who are willing to learn and share with developers who are willing to selflessly Take time out of their busy schedule to cook up roms for our users

I know that whatever I'm gonna say here ain't gonna change the mod ' s mind but I hope the mods can really come clean about what really happened here instead of using vague terms like "attitude problem" or "unwilling to work on updates" when he releases updates almost once a day. Just like a democratic government, and citizens of a democracy, transparency and accountability to the people should top priority
[XPERIA X10 General] twerg:
Sad to see him leave, only for the developments he provided to X10, the conflict wont be missed but what I seem to be missing is about 30 or 40 post to my post count. This has happened before to me when he closed/deleted a thread of his. It is not really important in the grand scheme of things but my posts were not offensive, mostly helpful and relevant questions to Trip or others. Is it fair that I (others also) loose or have a reduction to their post count throught the deletion of the thread? I dont post a lot so will take a little time to build it back up lol. Cheers
[XPERIA X10 General] jingjonas:
Been reading threads about trip for the past hour and the posts that the mods have made before closing the thread.

One conclusion over the whole Matter: it takes two hands to clap.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
I really don't think that trip was right.. but other users should also be abruptly and swiftly dealt with.

And some geniuses are spoofing their I.P.'s for the lulz.

Some people are literally just coming here to cause ****.
[XPERIA X10 General] Realorasz:
First open thread I found to speak out in.

Firstly, I wish to state that I'm not mad, uncalm, or pissed in any way. I am, however, disappointed.

From what I can dig up, it seems the mods have jumped the gun. I agree with many, that flaming in Trips threads should have been cleaned out, not the thread simply all out deleted. I can find no excess attitude from Trip other than him being rightfully pissed by being wronged so horribly.

Here's what I recommend:

Restore all of Trip's threads.

Send him an email notifying him of this.

Resolve to do your mod-ly duty and not do to Trip what 'haters' do to him. Do not delete his threads simply because flamers finally managed to make him snap(if that's even what happened.) The mods' duty is to keeps things in order, not make devs leave due to mods whose power has gone to their heads. Really all you are doing is the same thing as flamers. You're passing people off. Now no one who likes trips work can have awesome phones. And what a time to do this, as he was on the brink of doing godlike things with the X10.

Mods, i urge you to reflect and think on what you're causing. Do more people gain or lose from this(not including you)?

I'm completely honest when I say that I feel mods are lying at this point. But I mean no offense, only to make the most apparent case known. Let this be a lesson, please. Remember what the counselors at school tell everyone to do? Think before you act.

So, if the mods restore things as proper(meaning restore Trip's threads and merely CLEAN Them instead of belittling an amazing dev because of other people. This 'attitude' you're speaking of from Trip is because you forced him to. It started AFTER you deleted everything. So please, consider all you've done, and in the future, please strive not to become hypocrits.

If there is something I don't know, please let me know instead of banning me.

Thanks, that is all.

[XPERIA X10 General] riginal:
you have no idea what you're talking about do you? the problem isn't him not updating & contributing or having disagreements, it's his attitude dunno if you saw what happened last night but he started to flame other devs for no good reason

& he is always the one who starts this flamings

and no just because he developes roms doesn't mean that he could act & behave anyway he wants, there are rules here even for developers
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Link or it never happened.
[XPERIA X10 General] riginal:
I don't need to lie about it & I don't care really if you believe me or not

Mods & also anyone who was following the android section specially his threads or Honeycomb port thread last night knows what happened
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
If you're a Moderator, you should give me some proof of him cursing/flaming (at other devs). I do think there is something else going on, why would his account else be disabled?
[XPERIA X10 General] Farhang:
+ 9000

Exactly what I was about to say.
[XPERIA X10 General] riginal:
If you are talking to me well obviously I'm not a mod & the thread & his posts got deleted so I can't link to any post & frankly I don't need to prove anything to anyone
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Fanboy, get out. -.- You're not a Mod, so don't reply to it. Thanks ;) Nobody has asked you to prove anything.
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
Guys, the mods also know how to deal with these things.

Something realllly bad must have gone on last night. Let's not jump to assumptions.

The mods are experienced and unbiased, they know what's right, TripnHaters (see what I did there?) must have really gone against each other bad.

Trip's attitude might have been terrible as well. We all know he can become like that, and I know that he has the capability of insulting and degrading every other person but him in this forum, including devs.

So let's not attack/defend any side until the mods come out with details of what happened last night. Personally I think they should, it should clear things up quite a bit. The mods are mods for a reason, I don't think it's right if everyone here starts blaming the mods for this. They would have done what they did for a reason.
[XPERIA X10 General] twerg:
I believe that the mods should be trusted to work in the best interest of a forum and also should not be held to ransom by users, they should not have to answer to members, but they should be unbiased and fair in all dealings. No one should ask for and expect evidence from them, they are performing their duties and a member should not be influencing them in any way. The mods do not answer to us. We all know what the issues are and have read posts from Trip and others that would support the action taken... Thats how I feel, others will disagree...
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Also Mods, give me a good reason for keeping this thread only closed and not deleted. If you delete Trip his threads why would you not delete this one too? There is for sure much more going on here.
[XPERIA X10 General] strix75:
I agree. Well said.
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
^^Also, this. +1019019019012821 times this.

No one should be telling or forcing the mods to give proof of what happened or a valid reason.

The fact that they did what they did MEANS there was a valid reason.

In fact, that reason must have been really big to do what they did, but they did it.

No one has the right to tell them to come clean, nor do people have the right to say that 'there is more going on here'. What you see is what you see. If you weren't awake last night, too bad, Trip has moved to another forum and all his threads are locked. For what reason I don't know, but I'm not going to make assumptions about what happened.

Unless something is told (not saying there needs to be), I am not blaming anyone. I'm not blaming Trip, Trip's fans, Trip's haters, or the mods, because no opinion is better than an ignorant opinion.
[XPERIA X10 General] riginal:
very well said, couldn't agree more
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
So it wrong to think that a Moderator doesn't do his job perfect? A mod is not a god. They should give us reasons for things.
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
I've read trips posts and I can tell you there happened nothing BAD. (Unless they deleted the bad posts)
[XPERIA X10 General] twerg:
here here!
[XPERIA X10 General] riginal:
did you read his post in Honeycomb port thread last night? nothing was wrong with them?
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
I haven't seen any reply FROM trip there ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
There is more than one mod in the forum, and they've deleted/locked ALL of Trip's threads AND disabled his account.

These big decisions are seldom made by one mod, and there is always a legitamite reason to make such a big decision.

Yes, mods make mistakes, but I've never seen a mod make a mistake in something this big.
[XPERIA X10 General] riginal:
well yeah that's because mods were keep deleting his posts last night but he wouldn't stop & I think that's the reason he got banned

so you weren't online last night & I'm telling you, you missed a lot

drama. people shoild learn to deal with critisism and rivalry, and to ignore it. interesting at the very least. we the people are seeking this birth certificate, and body weve yet to see
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
Agree, i've been following trip for some time and sure he has a large mouth, and does a bit of bragging, with every right imo. He also created a way to tell if his work was stolen without crediting him, by adding crap code into his work that did nothing and then search for it. Trip is a great dev but has had problems controlling his temper, we all know that, and I know there has been a handfull of people trashtalking trip in his own thread really pushing his buttons, honestly, I would have snapped way earlier then trip if i was treated this way and beeing miscredited. Mods really should work on beeing unparting with any devs here and treat everyone equally! Other devs get nothing but applause only becouse they are more modest. Trip made my x10 great! Dont forget how much he has done for us all!
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Ok.. i can believe u.

But no one freaks out for nothing.

There must be a point to where it all started.

Let's just stop talking about Trip and move on with our lives.
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
I've said this before, and I'll say it again. You can be the best at what you do, but if you're arrogant, or your head is not in the right place, you will go NOWHERE in life.

Look at tiger woods, (now) Ryan giggs, all these sportstars are great at what they do, one of the best, but because of the poor decisions they made, they are no longer respected.

It applies everywhere. You have to be a good human being as well as being good at what to do.

[XPERIA X10 General] kanchigo:
I have read a last pages of Trip's Froyo threat last night and in my personal of view, there was nothing serious. Just a thing Trip mentions about Cobrato that he doesn't wellcome Cob and doesn't want to see Cob's fixes present in his topic. Unfortunatly, Mods here in X10 forum have done in thier personal of views, not in the behave of the hole X10 community. How many MODS we have in X10 forum??? and how many of them control X10 forum regulately? Mod Mr.Clown, if U feel u're tired everytime to clean a threat, or give a warning stop argument, U'd better ask for addition mods or resign from ur hard job. As U said " 1 goes, 20 will come", have u ever think any devs will or willing develop for a handset 1,5 years old?
[XPERIA X10 General] abdurahman:
Wow power trip much? Trip was one of the few devs actually making progress on the x10 and you drove him away? Bravo guys, way to use the banhammer like pros!
