[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazer Fazer:
Hi everyone,

I hope someone can help me recover my Desire. Earlier today I tried flashing one of the alpharev HBOOTs to prepare for LeeDroid 3.0.7 Data++ edition. At some point something must have went wrong, because when I tried to do 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' the phone just turned off (or so it seemed...explanation further on). I subsequently tried pushing the power button to turn it back on, to no effect.

After leaving it for a bit (about 15 minutes or so), I decided to disconnect from the PC and pull the battery, since nothing was working. This is where the REAL problem appears. Now my phone refuses to boot, even refusing to vibrate when the power button is pushed. Here are some of my observations:

After pulling the battery and replacing it, then connecting to the charger, the 'charging' LED lights up

When I press power, the 'charging' LED goes off, but nothing else happens (no vibration, no boot sound, no screen action)

Holding the Volume Down key while pressing power (after a battery pull and replace) doesn't change anything regarding the boot process described in the point above

As far as I can tell, attempts to get into recovery/fastboot have failed

Holding the Back key while pressing power (after a battery pull and replace) also doesn't help

I've searched Google for about 3 hours now, and nothing I've come across seems to help. Also, this isn't an SLCD brick, since the phone has an AMOLED screen.

Any help getting the phone up and running will be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks.

my friend warning are that no matter what DO NOT REMOVE BATTERY or it will possibly brick so in my opinion 95% you bricked your phone
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragargon:
hi, don't sounds good at all...

when you plug and push the power button, what does says your comp???

device unknow... nothing.

worse case scenario would be to put a PB99IMG

look at this to find the one matches with your phone (stock rom version )

hope this help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Yup you failed to flash the most fatal part of you system(the hboot), and after trying to reboot the first time, you had no way to correct the error, as it is no longer able to load the hboot in order to change anything on the flash-rom. So no pulling the battery didn't change anything, you were already bricked.

No way to bring it back through usb afaik

edit: and no ruu is very unlikely to work as well, as the hboot, which is supposed to flash it doesn't even boot.

only way i know of is jtag, which allows a specialized connector to flash the flash-rom directly through a jtag port on the motherboard, however, the riff box needed is quite expensive(129$). Good luck. I feel sorry for you.

Hello Guyz.

Well i got a prob after getting update from froyo to gingerbread 2.3.3 update on my DHD.well the thing is that i live in pakistan.and now when checking balance when i dial like (*444#) my # key is not responding at all.instead dailing the MMI code,its dialing a call like this (*444) only.now plzz help me guyz how to overcome this issue..i am in deep trouble.if some of u guyz got this problem,share it so v can find a way to resolve it...thanks..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
Hello

So the problem is that the # key doesnt respond on the dialer?

If you go into like the settings menu, does that part of the screen respond if you for instance select a menu option? See if that part of the screen responds to anything.

Most likely though it may be fixed by doing a factory reset. You can do that via the settings.

If that part of the screen does not respond to anything, then you have a faulty digitizer which is the hardware component that picks up the touches. That may need to be replaced.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesmsu:

Sir,

as i said when i dial *444# for an example it does show that hash key and is responding easily but when i push the call button than it does not recognize the # key and starts dialing the call and show no like this *444 only...here why during call its not picking the # key???

I used unrevoked to root the phone, now I've been trying to unroot it.

I installed the unrevoked-forever-son, and managed to change S-OFF to S-ON back, then I installed PC36img into the sdcard. When I went to the bootloader screen it said that the version was older and failed to update.

I'm wondering if I download htc sync and download a RUU. will that work to bring it back to stock. Well as long as I unroot it. Here is my bootloader screen

Hi,

I just came back from Serendipity 6.4 to stock 2.1 on my captivate using ODIN 1 click. Because of the GPS issues on my phone the warranty dept were ready to replace my device). I am going to return it tomorrow.

I have done a factory reset and deleted all the unwanted folders. I am not sure as what you meant by "Counter". Could you please let me know if I need to take care of something else before i return the phone.

i dont want to get into any trouble while returning the device or after returning the device.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Micksta:
On the SGS2 there is a counter that increments each time you flash a custom kernal/rom and the SGS2 is also rumoured to have a counter-has-been-reset counter, just to complicate everything :)

It is unknown at this stage if it exists, and if so, if it can be reset.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaukassus:
don't forget the hidden-reset-counter counter :rolleyes:

it's probably just a rumour that don't exist. <- implying Samsung doesent need 1000 counters to check if the phone has been flashed
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
t's probably just a rumour that don't exist. <- implying Samsung doesent need 1000 counters to check if the phone has been flashed

Thats probably true why have two counters .

Odin does not affect warranty its of itself a tool .

Flashing a custom rom will rooting will .

Flashing a stock rom could lead to rejection by a vendor if you bought from Vodafone and do not have the Voda firmware they could reject warranty but in that case the Samsung warranty would still be in place .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maheshsmanian:
This weekend I am going to go the device center to replace my captivate. Its now running the att stock version. I have helped a friend root his device and then unroot it and get it replaced at the att device center. He did not face any issues while getting his phone replaced. Will update the post once i am back from the device center.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Micksta:
I swear I said that :S

That's because it's a captivate and not a SGS2....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixteen12:
Tough to say based on the counter and the hidden counter counter rumours. I'd be inclined to say Samsung should be alright with it based on them sending certain ROM developers the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digi_fort:
Hey,

As far as my reading experience goes in the forum. I guess the counter does'nt click for the non-rooted firmwares i.e. released by samsung. It only clicks if we root the phone. Basically updating KIES stock releases like (XWKF3, XXKG5, XXKH3->the latest) don't void warranty. Then again I might be wrong because diff people have diff opinions on this. Anyone care to clarify ......

Cheers,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2smoe:
The only reason to send the phone back would be hardware malfunction, as this phone pretty much cannot be bricked. So I don't see why the warranty wouldn't work, considering custom ROMs are not going to be the reason for faulty hardware. That said, before sending back the phone, I would still flash the default ROM and reset the flash counter with a USB jig, just to be safe.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digi_fort:
Yeah i guess you are right. Since the phone is unbrickable most of the software problems can be solved by flashing the rom by oneself. For hardware issues we can we can always switch to the region specific stock rom. But then again my question comes to jigging the phone do we really need to do this if we are not rooting or not flashing a custom rom. I mean we only update the stock kies releases only using odin ? Does the counter still tick ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Counter only ticks for non Samsung roms or Kernel .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voluptuary:
I'm sending my SGS2 Skyrocket in because it's got a stipid blotchy screen and I asked them flat out if me having a rooted/custom ROM on the phone would cause them to not cover the crappy screen and they said the screen would be covered however if for some reason they couldn't flash/return the phone to stock they *might* charge me for software issues and that would be about $65 and they would call me first, the screen however would be covered reguardless. My counter is at 1 fyi.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsnc:
you can use the 301k resistance to wipe the counter
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voluptuary:
I was under the impression that didn't work with the skyrocket, but it is already on its way to samsung custom rom, cwm and all.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Protocol 7:
If this has been covered already, I'm sorry, I looked through all the threads I could find and nothing made sense to me. There were a billion different responses.

I have a Droid 1 running CM7. Because Gingerbread wasn't supposed to be able to run on my device, the ROM runs like a boy who shat is pants. I cannot multitask at ALL. I cannot even have more than 2 windows open in browser before it starts to Force close. There wasn't anything even running in the background.

Anywho, I want to enable compcache, but I can't seem to find it. Apparently it was disabled in CM7, so I downloaded a file from this post. But now I have no idea how to enable it. My settings show nothing about compcache and I can't find any apps that do it.

Help would be GREATLY appreciated, as I'm fed up with the constant force closing, unstable ROM that I really want to love.

Hey everyone,

I was looking to buying a netbook, but this awesome tablet got me.

The first use will be for me university work: notes, powerpoints, excels.. you know.. that sort of boring student stuff.

So how does the tablet cope with .docx, graphs and powerpoint?

Especially, how good is the compatibility with graphs in excel?

What app do you use? Quickoffice? or the one already installed?

Also I would like to hear some feedback about the keyboard: I'm coming from the awesome one of the VAIO FW. How does it compare to a normal good notebook's keyboard ?

by the way I'm planning to buy the 16GB model + keyboard.

thank you
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degeneration:
google docs not ok by you? (Don't mean that in a condescending way, but I think it works pretty well, and it works on android).

EDIT: With what I just said in mind, I have only used google docs for writing papers and doing spread sheets minus graphs. Graphing works but for some reason (maybe just preference, maybe there was a good reason) I kept going to openoffice for the graphs. Haven't tried presentations. However I would assume that google docs is not as powerful MS Office, it is compatible though, but I wouldn't feel right relying on it (google docs) for school stuff beyond the basics.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicpork:
If you want to write some simple documents or presentations with some pictures and texts, the build-in polaris office is more than capable.. and the keyboard dock works surprisingly well..so you ain't going to miss the VAIO. Also, just tried creating some bar/line/pie chart in polaris office spreadsheet.. no problems at all.. no fancy 3D though..

also you won't find any advanced features like automatic reference in Word, animations/sequence in powerpoint or powerful statistics functions/pivot tables in Excel.

for university work, I won't worry about that too much...Polaris Office is a great office suite and I'm very impressed...

best if you go to your local store and try it out yourself..before you make the decision
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h00ligan:
Polaris does a better job not blowing up formatting than google docs ime. Of course that only matters if you are continuing on from a previous doc. Shockingly it opened my resume (relatively heavily formatted) just fine.

Presentations are going to be something I can't comment on!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Don't think that you'll find any software for Android. Android is primary for gaming, not working. ;)

But Excel and Word sheets work quite good with Polaris Office (pre-installed), I haven't tried PPT yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadesse:
It all depends on what you plan on doing. Simple word processing, presentation, or spread sheet would be OK. In Excel for instance if you use macro's you will run into problems. I know that Polaris could read some of my files.

To be honest there are people on here that claim to have replaced their laptop with the Transformer but frankly I don't see how. It is fine for internet, email, & entertainment. It isn't going to replace a laptop that you use for work or school in my view anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RojasTKD:
Polaris Office work pretty well and is included with the TF (can't beat fee functional software). Just don't expect it to be as functional and easy to use as a real PC.

Honestly if I where using it MS Office apps for school, I'd stick to a laptop. You'll be a lot less frustrated that way. TF would be fine simple office type task or edits in a pinch, but I wouldn't want it to be my main Office device.

Lets not forget tablets aren't true laptop replacements, they don't have that kind of power.

Hi, Im getting tired of my iPhone 4 and I have a upgrade available so what verizon phone should i get?

The droid incredible 2, droid charge, Droid x2, (wait for the samsung galaxy S2?) or get the HTC thunderbolt.

I just cant decide and my soul is slowly dieing inside because of the "staleness".

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Protocol 7:
I'd personally wait for the Droid 3, as that thing looks like a Droid X with a physical keyboard. But if you really cannot wait, I'd suggest the Incredible 2. The Charge is just too expensive, and the Droid X2 doesn't really offer much besides the screen real estate. Thunderbolt is pretty nice, with the 4G and all; but I just dislike it personally.

Take my opinions with a grain of salt, though. It's your choice.

Ive read about the li-polymer batteries and some says that is bad for the battery to leave it conected log periods of time, also other mentioned that leaving the battery till it reach 10-15% is good method for prolong its battery life, but imnot sure about this tips.

Can someone tell me some recomendations? :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kampfwolf09:
I know from experience, li-po batteries do not last if fully discharged everytime, meaning don't run it till it shuts off. I am charging in the 10-15% range. As far as leaving it connected to the charger, I'm not sure if thats bad. If all you did was use it while connected to the charger, yes that will result in reduced battery life due to it not getting discharged.
