[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldiamond2:
Hi all,

I have had my N1 for 1year and two weeks now (yes, warranty just expired). I was charging the device and it seemed to overheat and reboot. I unplugged it, took the battery out, let it rest for a bit and tried to boot it again. The phone now gets stuck on the X logo (not moving) and never boots.

I'm currently abroad (in the UK) and can't have it sent back for repair (I'd have to pay the repair too).

Will rooting the phone and installing an alternate OS fix my phone?

Is there any way to get HTC to honor the warranty after two weeks of expiration (I've been getting this problem for a while now, but that was only an issue if I made extensive use of the device while charging, which I almost never do so I didn't bother.)

Is there any way to fix this issue without messing with rooting? I'm abroad right now and all I want is my phone to work.

Any suggestions are welcome.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
Try booting into bootloader from power off (vol- pwr) if that doesn't work then try the 3 figure salute (pwr vol- tb) your phone should boot into fastboot then just select bootloader.

If either of these work the your good you can get the static x fixed all you need to do is passimg (search wiki if you don't know what it is) as for the charging problem passimg will factory reset the phone so if that doesn't fix it then no you'll need to try rooting or it might be hardware.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldiamond2:
Yes, I'm able to go into the bootloader.

I tried clearing the storage, choosing fastboot, etc. The phone seems to be working, just won't boot past the static X.

From your last reply, you're saying passimg has good chances to fix my phone. What does that involve? Do you have a link to a how-to that I could follow (it would really be a bad time for me to brick my phone, a good how-to would be really appreciated).

Cheers!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
Yes passimg is used for many things it just reflashes a shipment ROM to the phone through bootloader. Like I said you can visit the wiki to have a how to here is a link http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Guides_%26_Tutorials scroll down to "Unroot / Restore your Nexus" then follow the instructions. This should restore you to frg33 then you just need to update back to 2.3.4.

NOTE: this will wipe your data.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldiamond2:
Ahh there's a way to unroot the nexus one now!

I had no idea! This is good to know (last time I checked was in December I think).

I will give that passimg a try as soon as I get home.

Can anyone confirm that this ("Attention: Latest stock ROMs don't flash using PASSIMG.ZIP method. Use the provided latest Froyo PASSIMG, and upgrade it after flashing.") means I can still reflash using this if I have the latest ROM (2.3.4) but will simply have to update again after (which I might not do given the issues I'm facing).

Cheers!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Confirmed - Dude is giving you good info... xD
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Just to verify, unrooting is not the same as relocking. If you unlocked your bootloader (have a little lock symbol under the X screen), there is no way to relock it.

But the passimg is a good option. It will take you back to an older version of Android, and then you just let the system update itself.

Since you are out of your warranty, I can highly suggest looking into custom firmwares. These give you a lot more features and in many cases, perform better. CyanogenMod is probably the most popular one. These will fully replace your Android OS. CyanogenMod really doesn't even differ in look from stock all that much. Most people probably wouldn't even have a clue they are running something different, except for the stability and performance increases.

You can read up about this stuff in the wiki as well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldiamond2:
Oh, I see, thanks for the info.

I'm actually trying to get the FRG83 passimg file but the link is dead. Does anyone have an alternate one?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Use the FRG33 image
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldiamond2:
Alright,

I unlocked the device, used fastboot to write the recovery "Amon_Ra's Recovery".

Then I rebooted, went to the bootloader (trackball + power), went to "recovery" but the phone still gets stucked on the X (with the unlocked padlock logo).

Any advices?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Try the passimg, but it's possible that you are looking at hardware failure... :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
If you are still running stock Android, you can't reboot between installing the recovery and getting into it. Stock Android will replace it. Try to go back to the bootloader and select recovery then, or fastboot to load the recovery, and then use fastboot to boot off of it.

fastboot flash recovery "c:\location to\recovery.img"
fastboot boot recovery "c:\location to\recovery.img"

Hopefully this will get you into Amon_RA so you can try again.

But the passimg method is used in the bootloader, not in recovery. You don't need a custom recovery to use the passimg method.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldiamond2:
Amazing, thanks for pointing out my mistake, that give me a little bit of hope now :). (I was at the point where I'd open the thing and look for a broken solder joint.)

I will try this as soon as I get home!

**Edit** I actually am not sure if I really rebooted or went straight to recovery. I'll update this thread tonight.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldiamond2:
According to some other people, this would be a common issue with the internal memory dieing.

Is there a utility I can use to check the state of the memory?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
None that I know of. Our phone internal memory uses the yaffs2 (Yet Another Flash File System v2) file system. I haven't heard of any programs that can check it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythefan:
Same situation

Hello, all. I haven't signed in on here in ages just because I've been so happy with how my Nexus has been running.

I ran into the same problem as OP stated.

I think I have some sort of hardware issue because my phone used to randomly freeze and couldn't be restarted unless I pulled the battery. Now it's at the point where I can't even turn it on because nothing happens when I press the power button or if I try to boot into recovery. This is really frustrating.

Is there any way to check for hardware damage? My warranty is over as well so I'd have to pay for any repairs to my phone if I sent it in.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
If it's running, you can try to pull a log, and see what error reports you get?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Your power button might just be dead. Try having the phone plugged into a power source and removing and reinserting the battery. While you are doing that, hold the Volume Down button. This will get you into the bootloader which would allow a passimg to be performed. Hopefully your reboots aren't a hardware problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythefan:
So , after pulling my battery, pulling the sim and the sd card, it finally turned on and went to recovery without freezing. I was able to wipe and reflash cyan 7. It's working well for now, but I'm really afraid this is going to happen again because this isn't the first time that it's just froze repeatedly.

Does anyone know what the problem could be?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldiamond2:
Alright,

I did "fastboot flash recovery MYIMG" then "fastboot boot MYIMG", didn't work.

Then I tried "fastboot flash recovery MYIMG" then go to bootloader (without rebooting) and selected recovery.

Still no luck.

It always freezes on the static X logo. What else can I do? Will using passimg be any different (I don't have any way to put the file on the micro SD card but I can manage to do it if it's worth the shot).

Thanks

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suntung:
Hi all, when I bought my brand new Archos 70 IT, everything alright include the camera, after the first time reset, the camera didn't work. I think it is hardward problem so I send to repair, the camera resume function after repair.

After few months, I reset my Archos 70 IT again, the camera didn't work again, this time I won't think it is hardware problem since I just use the camera right before reset.

I wonder if there is any file required for the camera to function, and reset will delete this file cause the camera doesn't work. Does anyone have idea about this problem?

1. If my guess is correct, what is this required file and where I can get it?

2. Any other method that can bring back camera? How about root and flash a custom ROM?

Thanks in advance.

SPB Mobile shell 3.5.5 build 10087. Weather not updating since May 16. Whey trying to update manually, I am getting "No weather data has been downloaded". Internet is working.

Your net provider server not supporting.

Just change another company sim.

I have working internet connection. I tried WiFi, I tried to cradle to my PC. Spb.com and other sites open just fine in my Opera. Foreca.com also opens fine in my web browser.

SPB Mobile Shell weather does not update. I tried different locations, same result.

By the way, I noticed that SPB Weather is also unable to update information if Foreca is used as defalut. When I switch to Meteonova, everything works fine. The problem is that I could not find a way to change the weather source in SPB Mobile Shell which is a different application. Is Foreca.com used in SPB shell? Is it possible that Foreca has changed their data format and SPB applications are not able to pick up the information anymore? Could you verify at your end and confirm that SPB Mobile shell 3.5.5 can still pick up weather data?

[HTC Sensation] legendary1022:
Lol beat me to it. Was just about to post it. They were very high on the device and the amount of phones they review that means something. Great video review
[HTC Sensation] mazinya:
Yes, they seem to be very excited about the phone and unlike engadget, they did not complain about the sense 3.0 but they just kept on praising it saying they have noticed no lag or slowness, although they also mentioned that battery could be better, which ones again makes me clueless of why couldnt HTC increase the bat capacity a bit more.. well, you cant get everything in life
[HTC Sensation] The_Biz:
That was a great review. He was honest and basically showed of the phones main features. I really think the sense ui has improved enough for me to be happy with it. I still want to know about if HTC will unlock the bootloader anytime soon. I don't want to buy a phone and be forced to use the same os all the time.

On a side note: If this phones bootloader is unlocked and it can use custom roms, it will be a much better option than competitors. The focus HTC does with it's build quality and materials they use, is much better imo. I would rather have a heavier phone with better materials and a solid feel than a phone of lighter/cheaper materials and a cheaper feel.

Ive been trying to root my phone using cf root but when i put my phone into download mode and connect it to the pc odin doesnt recognise it. However, when i reboot my galaxy s one of the bars at the top of odin turns yellow and in the message box it says "Added!!". Ive tried this on 2 different pc's and its still not working.

[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)

Yea only difference I saw was what has already been mentioned ..one other thing is it has it clocked at 1.2 ghz for the 8260 and 1.2 and 1.5 for the 8660..maybe that's just because the latter has been used at both clock speeds.. pretty cool chart tho
[HTC EVO 3D] RVDigital:
Dont forget the 256MB of additional RAM in the 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] j2themax:
Your Excatly right thats the main difference the evo 3d if unlocked could run 1.5 no problem since it has been downclocked
[HTC EVO 3D] Rem3Dy:
That is not entirely true. Not all processors are created equal. Htc could be downclocking the batches that failed @ 1.5ghz. Thus leaving us with little to no headroom.
[HTC EVO 3D] j2themax:
Right htc would not have quality control.

The main reason they're downclocked is for battery life.
[HTC EVO 3D] test878:
Incorrect. The fact they are downclocked to 1.2 could very well be because they were unstable at 1.5. And the stable 1.5 chips are being saved for another device down the road.

Intel, amd, and nvidia do this all the time, so its very well possible that these are reject 1.5 ghz chips. They will still overclock but may require more volts to hit 1.5 or higher.

And yes, they could be downclocking them to save battery life, but your theory isnt more accurate then his.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
I understand what you are saying but I'm not sure I agree..I don't think that they make a soc and hope its stable at 1.5 ghz and if not just dump them on the e3d..I know each chip is slightly different but not that much so ...I believe we will have some headroom with this chip as it is set to be in devices at 1.5 ghz..**** the chip in the g2 and other have be able to clock almost to 2ghz..and the chip in those are very similiar to the chip in the e3d except for the extra core..they are built on the same.architecture..just my thoughts could be wrong
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
I work for AMD, and that's exactly how it's done... You manufacture a large batch of silicon, and based on testing, you separate the chips based on highest stable speed. We simply clock them lower and label them with another model number. This has been done since the beginning...

With that said, they might have had enough chips that didn't perform well at 1.5GHz, so they just limited them all. It doesn't NECESSARILY mean everyone is getting a 1.2GHz max chip.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
Wow..so u basically manufacture the same chip and based on performance give it a different model number ? And I thought all these different chips were designed individually..guess I was wrong..probably bc I know nothing.about manufacturing socs..
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
Obviously there are different core designs, which are engineered separately, but there are only slight tweaks, if ANY between multiple chips in the same series with different clock speeds.

Remember the AMD Barton-core 2500+? and the 3200+? Socket A chips? They were IDENTICAL. That's why all the gamers bought the cheaper 2500+ and just changed the front-side bus to 200Mhz. Blammo, you saved $200 instantly.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
So do tell me what CPU I should get and save $200 now?

[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:

LOL @ blammo
[HTC EVO 3D] Rem3Dy:
You can buy an AMD Phenom II 3 core chips and unlock the 4th core. There is a chance the 4th core is bad or works perfectly fine. If its fine you save money. Don't expect a 200 savings.

Its because the Phenom line is all produced as Quad cores and then disabled for the lower models. Sometimes because a core is bad others because of demand.
[HTC EVO 3D] Willis111:
Like he said, it is quality control

you have 1 pile of chips to sell, half run at 1.2 ghz stable and the other half are flaky unless you clock them to 1ghz (like intel w/celeron, being rejected chips resold as a different brand after some functionality that was causing them to be unstable was removed). As a business you're trying to make money, you have your QC department test the chips, putting the ones that pass @ 1.2ghz into topend devices. The ones that flake out you stuff into lower end models and sell them cheaper. That way you make money without throwing out 1/2 your chips. Anything can cause this in manufacturing ie, a spec of dust or contamination from oils from a finger etc. You sell the chips, dont have to lay off workers etc all over .2ghz. Companies have been doing this forever.
[HTC EVO 3D] nmmvnnnet:
But both of them Sensation and Evo 3D are topend devices.
[HTC EVO 3D] jurrasstoil:
They'll do both. They'll put msm8x60s that are stable at 1.5 and ones that aren't stable at 1.5, but stable at 1.2 into the E3D. It depends on what is needed and what is available. Shipping E3Ds with chips that can run at 1.5 is better than shipping no E3Ds at all.
[General Questions and Answers] AndroidAmigo:
Has anyone successfully used the USB Accessory Development Kit given away at GoogleIO 2011 with any of the EVO Gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM images floating about?

I have one of those kits, have downloaded the SDK and ADK, and followed the installation instructions. When I install Demokit.apk on a borrowed non-rooted "generic" Nexus one with Gingerbread 2.3.4, the app on the phone controls the LEDs and relays on ADK board set as expected.

However I've also attempted the same with the gingerbread-evo-deck-1.2s ROM image on my own unactivated EVO (wireless only, no 3G or phone) without success. My experience is much like that of ObsidianX on the thread '[DEV][AADK] Google's Arduino based "ADK" Working on Nexus One', where an EVO slows to a crawl as soon as it is attached to the ADK board and the ADK does not respond even after waiting out the now doggedly slow UI. I'm not meaning to disparage the ROM image I'm using - it demonstrates a lot of very good work - but I would like to be able to use the USB accessory capability. Might someone be able to suggest an alternative ROM image that does work with USB accessories? Thanks.
