Dirk, as Doug and Haus said, you shouldn't be bricked. If you can get to the bootloader, you *should* be able to fix.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Let me first start off by saying thanks to all you guys for responding so fast and helping me out! I tried to use my 5 thanks for the day and dish one out to each of you :D. Ok after 2 hours of panic i got this thing back up and running *wipes sweat off head* Some kind of way my sd card and usb got jacked up and thats why bootloader wouldnt read any PC36IMG.zips i had on it. It took me about an hour to realize my usb/sdcard was borked lol. I followed calkulins guide to restore my sdcard and usb which worked! None of the latest ruu's would work 3.70, 3.30 and i didnt (and still dont) understand why they didnt. So it took me another 30 mins to get fastboot to work (painful steps lol) and after it finally decided to work. I went ahead and downloaded the 3.29 ruu and out of the other 3 i had this one magically worked! I did have insurance by the way @neb! Thanks again guys! :D

I lost my recovery before and the phone wouldn't boot. I extracted the whole 200 mb stock .img in the root of the SD card and wala off it went to a full restore. I was sweating that 1. I bricked my first phone doing a radio flash. It boot looped 3 times with little Android dude with a red triangle then lights out. It fried. Sorry bud.

[Thunderbolt General] harrisburg192:
So I had a galaxy s phone and rooting it made a hugh performance improvement. How much better do you like your phone if rooted? Whats the best feature you like?
[Thunderbolt General] Persiandeity:
I wouldn't like it if it wasn't...

Although I may not see a huge PERFORMANCE increase with root, my battery does, low volt kernels baby :-)

And I couldn't make my own boot animations, I know... Dumb but I like it...

Sent on my BAMF 1.6.3 Thunderbolt using the xda app
[Thunderbolt General] GuestK00231:
I bought the thunderbolt Tuesday evening...it was rooted and alpha CM7 loaded before I went to bed that night...

Just looking at the size of an AOSP rom vs other roms...I always ask how can it not be a performance increase...then well custom kernels, voltage regulators, and all the other nifty awesome tools and tricks that can be used....

At this point I can't own a phone that isn't rooted and customized to my "own" specifications. Making something mine is a huge thing for me in general...
[Thunderbolt General] Matthew_STL:
I rooted not for the performance increase (or havent used those features yet), but more to try out custom rom's and remove bloatware that came with the phone
[Thunderbolt General] harrisburg192:
Yea the bloat on this thing is crazy!
[Thunderbolt General] radiantx:
I cant seem to own an unrooted android phone for the reasons below...

Titanium backup, creating full backups in recovery, wifi tether, low voltage kernels, debloat, customizing the rom, and just wanting to try the latest and greatest leaked roms for fun.
[Thunderbolt General] jruasap:
I got the phone on launch day and liked sense at first, but then after trying CM7 on the thunderbolt I realized how much I missed Vanilla Android on my OG Droid. Now it's my daily driver and I would have a hard time using the phone unrooted without the ability to tether, use CM7, or overclock. Not having bloatware is a big plus as well.
[Thunderbolt General] lx1907:
Rooting it was the first thing I did after I got the phone. I didn't get into flashing the ROMs until das bamf 1.4 release. Now I keep 3 ROMs in CWR; bamf 1.6.2 (my daily), bamf 2b5, CM7. I like the fact that the bloat is minimized and the phone lasts a lot longer than the stock. Ability to use wifi tether is a huge plus as well.
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
O Root, Root! wherefore art thou Root?

Deny thy father and refuse thy name...

Couldn't help it. Anyhow, root for sure. The quesiton shouldn't be "why should I root," but rather, "why shouldn't I root?" (To which the only two reasons I can give are that you void your warranty and could brick your phone.)
[Thunderbolt General] djab67:
Rooted with an unlocked bootloader is the only way I like my device! Customization possibilities are then endless thanks to the wonderful developers here at xda and other prominent android community sites. I feel so strongly about a rootable device with an unlocked bootloader (either from the manu or completely hacked like the thunderbolt).

So, the features I like best are probably the ones that are being developed right now.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yolean:
I wrongly attempted to replace the framework-res.apk located at /system/framework with another one that's themed using Root Explorer and mounting R/W, right after I tapped on replace, my Tab hung on me and repeatedly did the single vibrate, then double vibrate, indicating that it's about to Force Close or become unresponsive. I tried to reboot, but it got stuck on the Samsung logo right before it should show the lockscreen. I never got to the lockscreen, and I'm wondering if I can ever replace back my original framework-res.apk that I backed up to my Desktop? or if not replace, place inside, perhaps it could be missing.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GANJDROID:
Flash your rom again.

| Don't Revive Me Bro! |
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yolean:
You mean like the entire system? I understand that it's possible to flash or push back the framework-res.apk only, back into it's place? Please correct me if I'm wrong, I just heard about the possibility.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GANJDROID:
If you can't get it to boot that won't be possible.

[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
I got some problem with installing a Custom rom...

I allready got root from superone Click, got Titanium Backup working...

then i installed The clockworkmod (external sd) from the tread in the forum.

then i moved the Custom rom MODACO FR17 Fear edition to my external sd..

booted into CMW by holding VOL DOWN + POWER

backup with nand

then wiped data and Cache

then installed the Custom rom and it went fine it took 3-4 min and then it said ok

I rebooted and i just hanged on the LG LOGO for 10-15 min.

removed the battery and still the same hangs on the LG LOGO

tried flashing it all over but still the same...

i was so lucky that i could restore my backup and now it up running...

can somebody please help me what could have gone Wrong ??

should i try another CWM ??
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
newest CWM is here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098001

generally, you did everything right, wipe data / cache FIRST in recovery, THEN apply custom ROM

superone Click is not really needed before, but it doesn´t matter ...

you could update baseband first : http://android.modaco.com/content/l...lash-stock-baseband-release-1035-21-20110502/

use Baseband 1035.21_20110405 , Baseband 1035.21_20110502 is buggy !
[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
The CWM your refering to is the one i used ? should i try the one useing INTERNAL SD ?

does it matter that before i used the mentioned CWM above i tried to use the CWM ROM MANAGER from Marked, but it did'nt work, then i installede the other CWM ??

I Allready got the baseband 405 installed

can it have something to do with the custom rom change the fileformat to EXT4 ??

I really dont undestand what went wrong ?? I have been flashing rom since HTC HERO, never had problems not even with SGS
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
had the same problem that it hange at the LG log, i searched for a recovery solution and i found one in this forum and found a soltution to restore the phone with NVFlash

here is the link :http://android.modaco.com/content/l...rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15-03-2011/

all you have to do is download the 2 files from there, take the battery out of your device, connect it to the computer. hold up and down and power and a device will be recognized by your system (the device disp;lay will stay black)

install the downloaded driver (the device should be recognized by your windows)

then run the bat file from the 2nd download and the device should be restored.

after that it will go into boot loop and you have to insert the battery.

then it should start up like a new device. hope that helps
[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
I got it up running again by restoring my nand backup, and its working.

but what i would like to is installe a custom rom, would that your are saying help me ??

do i have to root it after doing the above ?
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
you can try and download / install CWM 3028 with ROM Manger, it also used to work for me ...

perhaps the EXT4 conversion didin´t work, who knows ...

you didn´t do anything wrong yet, so keep trying ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Mike_52:
Just one question, did you wipe the dalvik cache ?
[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
yes i tried again now... and wiped dalvik cache in advanced. still the same stops on the LG LOGO

one question.. when entering CWM by holding VOL DOWN + Power i have read it should say ANDROID ?? but mine Dosen't say ANDROID , it just goes from LG LOGO into CWM
[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
okay now Im starting all over i think...

I just flashed the O2X with NVflash and beging from scratch
[LG Optimus 2x] Kag:
make sure your CWM is updated the first CWM version had issues

Anyway you should post such threads in General, it has nothing to do with dev.
[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
Sorry for placing this tread in the wrong place...

I finally got something working..

CyanogenMod 7 is running and BlazingDragon 1,7 works perfekt..

but still no matter what i do i can't get MoDaCo FR17 Fear Edition to work :-(
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
you can try orig. FR17 prebake from Modaco, worked fine for me ... http://android.modaco.com/content/l...ptimus-2x-with-online-kitchen-now-with-oc-uv/

FR17 Fear is using my theme, you can apply afterwards if you like

find in my signature BGB Theme
[LG Optimus 2x] cagra:
Have you tried downloading the ROM one more time?

Maybe you got a bad download. you could do a MD5 check on the file to be sure.
[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
Tried that also :-S

the only thing i haven't tryed is Checking the MD5, wich program do you use to check it with ?
[LG Optimus 2x] cagra:
Never done a MD5 check my self, but there should be plenty of freeware tools that can do it.
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
I had the same problem on fear edition. After i got stuck @ logo i just wiped dalvik and cache again 2x and then rebooted and started working fine.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] colossus:
Nice one buddy, great idea, i do not suffer from deep sleep so will edit my post later with my results, do you want the date the phone was manufactured.

I ALWAYS HAVE HAD DEEP SLEEP.

*Sony x10i

*Type AAd-3880056-bv aaac

*FCC ID PY7A3880056 CB5

*IC 41708_A3880056 10w13

*manufacture date year 2010 week 13

Using 3UK, HSPA, i have tried only Jerpelea's roms and had deep sleep on every one, my generic rom used is Sony Ericsson X10i_2.1.A.0.435_X10i and i use J's bb52 but it works also for me on bb49/sony bb52.

My only other point is that my phone was factory unlocked which may be another good point.

For those that don't know how to tell the manufacture date its under the battery and is shown like mine as 10W12, 10 being the year 2010 and W12 is week 12 of that year so April.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ImS0Raw:
Apps that are very active in background prevent my device from going to deepsleep. Like MSN Talk Pro, PowerAMP and idk what more. I dont think its hardware related.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] GreatBigDog:
Great idea!! Now just where would I find that info?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] GreatBigDog:
I've actually tried this from a fresh install, with only CPU Spy installed and still I didn't have deep sleep. I'm saying it's hardware related as it could just as well be provider related.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] colossus:
No idea sorry, Doomlord should know, it is under the battery somewhere, iv'e looked but can not make it out.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] michaeljordam:

This is my post in J's thread...

I'm trying to fix deep sleep issue since J release v21 final, but no success.

My steps:

* usual (wipe everything, install update.zip, BB from package.)

* v2 e v3 miniloader (one in each clean install)

* repair with seus (after that clean install of bb from package and rom)

*flash many se 2.1 firmware (after that clean install of bb and rom)

* clean install and bb .49.

*battery calibration (full charge "off line", wipe battery stats)

*applied patch "when screen off "

*no apps installed (in each installation, JUST CPU spy from market, without gapps.

*another formatted sdcard

*wifi set to "when screen off " or wifi disabled.

*GPS and bt disabled.

*tried adw or arc launcher

No DEEP SLEEP. (Just work with airplane mode active)

Can you edit your post please to add the information asked for in the first post. We are trying to find something in common between all of our phones.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Yes I tried the same earlier, its just a matter of finding something we have in common, what it is I don't know.

Ok guys just done some testing cm7.03 and disappointing results, atleast for me.

Flashed bb.49, wiped everything in recovery. Fresh install of v21 and flashed v2 miniloader (no reboot in between) and signed into Google, allowed it to sync contacts no Google restore, no gmail, skipped install of Google apps. I have only installed CPU spy through market. Nothing restored through titanium.

My SD card is being a SOB and for some reason thinks I have no pics on my card, so possible issue there so it wont allow me to upload the screenies I just took but I managed 9 seconds of deep sleep after leaving the phone alone after my install as described for maybe about 2 - 2.5 hours. Baseband.49 with v2 miniloader isn't the answer I'm affraid atleast for me. Tomorrow will try same kind of install but using v3 mini loader.

Edit; no luck sorry
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] michaeljordam:
Edited, my last post. I see small diferences between you and me.

i don´t remember what bb came with phone, but i gues was .46.

I´ll try that now....

.49 don´t fix deep sleep.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SkyStars:
How come we havn't asked those with deep sleep working to make a nandroid backup from xrecovery and upload it so we all can try it out?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] colossus:
Good idea, worth a try, i will do one tomorrow if nobody has done it before, think i will just check with Jerpelea first if that's ok by him.

Edit .... I will just pm a few with it rather upload it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SkyStars:
Great! let us know how that goes.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] highaltitude:
I guess I'm a bit behind on what this even is.. What is the deep sleep? I know sleep mode and hibernation on a PC, but how do I know if my phone has it or does it?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Neo.:
CPU spy from market
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SkyStars:
Deep Sleep is sort of like Stand-by mode on your PC, it will wake up by its own to sync mail and do whatever and then go back to sleep. Without deepsleep you will lose 5-10% battery an hour just idling instead of just 1% for every 5-10 hours.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Ok just tired another fresh install on bb.49 this time using miniloader v3. Same testing.g environment as mentioned in cm7 thread. It seems impossible for me.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] GreatBigDog:
Does anybody have an unlocked phone that they could try a sim card from another provider with? I've tried a 2nd one from the same provider but my phone is locked so I can't try a different one.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Byrana:
cm 7.0.3 - bypass v3

I tried a different simcard today and got deepsleep on it but I also had deepsleep with my usual simcard until it hit 15 % battery. Maybe losing deepsleep had to do with coming out of airplane mode on my device. I couldn't restore it and tried everything written in the other thread.

I gave the hardware - software cause some thoughts. I don't think it is hardware related. Sony would never upgrade to GB if it would be hardware related but I remember they said that they had some trouble with GB and the kernel.

Anyways I use the same apps on J's GB that I used on freex10 and i have absolutely no problems with deepsleep. The problem must reside within the Kernel, bypass or GB since lots of people even get the no deepsleep on a fresh install or lose it after some time.

Also drivers are not complete like camera and proximity. I would guess that there are still lots of incompatibilities that could also be the cause for something like that. Maybe some piece of hardware doesn't get addressed right or something. Figuring out what would be the cause exactly is way out of my league.

Just some 5 cents from me.

Regards

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stats101:
Have been wondering whether custom ROMs affect the SAR* value of a mobile phone. Using the stock rom, I never got headaches when making phone calls, but the custom roms I tried recently both give me headaches. Not sure if overclocking etc. affects the radiation given off by a mobile phone, but due to the lack of testing, are we inadvertently exposing ourselves to more radiation?

*SAR (specific absorption rate) is a measurement of how much electromagnetic radiation is absorbed by body tissue whilst using a mobile phone. The higher the SAR the more radiation is absorbed.

p.s. You can find out more about SAR values on: http://www.mobile-phones-uk.org.uk/sar.htm
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlareHeart:
I wouldn't think that the ROM would do anything, but the Radio might. Have you tried updating to the newest radio for the HTC Desire to see if that lessens your problem?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stats101:
I thought the same thing after I initially updated the radio. I then decided to downgrade back to the one I had been using for months. There was no difference however. :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stats101:
I decided to restore the nand backup I made of the stock rom. Quite obscurely, I am no longer seeming to get the headaches. Going to flash a close to stock rom (need a2sd!). Hopefully I can use that with little issue. :S
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftNano:
Custom ROM affecting SAR value?

I was just considering installing a custom ROM on my sensation and was reading the blurb on the HTC dev website in preparation for unlocking the bootloader.

In it is suggests that SAR value "could" be affected. Has anyone else got any opinions or evidence to say that using custom ROMs can change the SAR value of the phone?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muellersmattes:
I'd say that SAR value depends on the radio. Never heard of the ability to change it. And even if, it should still be low and not affect your health in any way. There are apps to measure the value, I don't know if they work, but you might give it a try.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftNano:
The radios was what I thought but the HTC website got me paranoid. Thanks for the response,
[Galaxy S II General] kar111:
Its been about a month since the launch of the SGS2. I know it may be a bit early but has anyone noticed any image retention or screen burn? I haven't as of yet and I but i do keep my brightness usually on the lowest all the time im at home. Outside its on Auto.

Also even if anyone hasn't how long will it take to happen since I know that all OLed displays including TV's eventually retain images?
[Galaxy S II General] dhiru1602:
I have a Galaxy S. For my phone, It took around 4 months to burn down some pixels after keeping the Screen on for about 3 hours a day. The Status bar was visible on blue background along with screen burn where AM and PM is displayed.

Best Practice is to keep changing the Orientation of the phone frequently and use a Theme with transparent status bar and switch to 24 hour clock to prevent burn in of AM or PM pixels, since they are ON all the time.
