[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazy_smokezalot:
I'm sure its soft bricked but my question is that if I were to buy a USB jig online will it go to download mode even if the phone turns on automatically every time I put in the battery????

I can't do the button combo to go into download mode because my power but is not working!

Also for some reason my volume up button acts as if was the power button weird:confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
That sounds like your buttons maping is wrong. That being said, a jig should force it into download mode as it doesn't affect/require the hard buttons at all.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazy_smokezalot:
Thanks just one more question before I buy one.... the phone automatically boots up wen I insert the battery! Will the jig still work? Should I already have the jig connected than insert the battery since it turns on by itself!???

I appreciate your help:thumbup::)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Umm that I'm not so sure. My guess is that it will make it go in download mode still. Either way, a jig is never lost, you can use it to force download any samsung galaxy series.

Are you not able to shut down the phone with the battery in? (Guess it reboots?)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazy_smokezalot:
No I cant it tries to boot up cm7 but something got corrupted during the install... so with that said it just does an endless bootloop. It never shuts down unless I pull the battery! But I insert the battery again it does the bootloop! So im just wondering if the jig will help! Im almost certain it will just wanna make sure
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
To be 100% honest, I'm not sure it will work but my guess is that it will. I mean, the Jig forces download mode, which is something your ROM can't affect so even if corrupted, it should boot into it. The only reason I'm not 100% sure is cause usually the jig will do all the job, it will power the phone directly into download mode and I never saw someone with that issue before (button mapping + corrupted ROM + infinite bootloop as you insert the battery).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazy_smokezalot:
Lol thanks for your honest input.... guess ill just try the jig... maybe afer the phone reboots itself the jig may boot it into download mode! Guess we will soon see lol:D:thumbup::beer::)

Is there a possibility to port the awesome lockscreen of the Acer Iconia Smart to the LG Optimus 2X?
[LG Optimus 2x] emprize:
Seems nice
[LG Optimus 2x] vladutz9:
looks nice. anyone interesed to port it?
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
push

Maybe a dev would make it?

Looks like a widget locker theme with simiclock on it. :p
[LG Optimus 2x] nikagl:
I have a Smart, so if I need to extract something, let me know what to extract (I have no idea where a lockscreen is in the ROM) and how (it is rooted, so just tell me how to get stuff and what to get) and I'll do it :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
Thank you, I don't know which files that are, but I will write a developer, which files that are and if that would work.:)
[LG Optimus 2x] gkostadinov:
It should be in the /system/app folder. The filename should contain the word "lockscreen".

And of course your phone has to be rooted to access this folder. If it is already rooted, use Root Explorer to get the locksreen. After that just share it here.

Thank you in advance.
[LG Optimus 2x] nikagl:
Nope, /system/app folder does not contain anything that resembles "lockscreen"...

Request the new forum for Acer Iconia Smart here please:

[Requests] Ask for new forums here
[LG Optimus 2x] gkostadinov:
Okay, try this now.

Find the file android.policy.jar which is located in the system/framework/ folder and share it here.
[LG Optimus 2x] nikagl:
This only contains a META.INF file with the following (unusable) content:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.6.0_22 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
[LG Optimus 2x] gkostadinov:
No classes.dex file at all? Hmm...that's weird. :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] nikagl:
Nope, really, opened it with 7zip... The folder does contain a file called android.policy.odex

see attached :)
[LG Optimus 2x] gkostadinov:
Thanks for sharing!

I can read something about locksreen in the file. I will see what I can do, although I don't promise to port it. Especially when I haven't done a thing like this before. :D

Other developers (real android developers, not a beginner like me) can try to port it too. (firstly, they have to make sure if this is the correct file, of course).

Thank you so much for your effort, nikagl!

devs should work on bootloader cracking.not that i am forcing them to do,but i am BEGGING them.we have plenty of great roms for use.look at froyobread.its a perfect rom.now we have gingerDX.for a few weeks it will be a perfect 2.3 rom.

Now its time for future.and i know that bootloader cracking is very,very hard.and dont tell me that,why dont you do it yourself.believe me,i would if i knew.i think that we have too much talented devs,and i think they can do it,but only if they work together as a team.and we,normal users should leave them alone untill they do so.we should not spam them,ask them when will it be cracked and everything else.they will announce it when it will be done.

I love xperia x8 as much as you do.and im thankful to god that we have souch wonderful devs.we wouldnt have souch a wonderful phone without them.so i will say this once again:

Hello!

Maybe someone can help...

After a while my flashlight stopped working at all, so i think that it's broken... but two days ago camera just went blank, and on sense roms the screen is black when I turn the camera on, and with AOSP roms it says something like camera.android error... so I don't know if it's also broken or just some type of driver error... I tried it with few ROM's but still nothing.

Does anybody knows how to determine if it's really broken or something else...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
If it fails with multiple roms then I'd say it is pretty clear sign what it means. Try flashing stock 2.2 to be certain. If it still fails you're in for a warranty claim.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluzermajstor:
Just to update issue...

After month or two I discovered that camera WORKS but I had to give it an old-fashioned kick at the backside wich means that it maybe an poor contact somewhere inside, and after some time even stranger thing had happened. FLASHLIGHT which was dead, I mean dead on whatever rom I tried, suddenly started to work again.

Very strange.

Just for an information, while camera reports error, system somehow gets crazy and reboots phone constantly, Also you can't flash any rom due to constant bootloops at the end of installation.

But now after long time, everything works for me.

Hi!

I just unlocked (S-OFF) and rooted my Sensation according to the tutorial pinned in the development section. Unfortunately, now I am unable to connect to any WiFi-networks. My phone is an unlocked, SIM-free european HTC Sensation.

Restoring the phone backup I created before rooting (with ClockworkMod Recovery) to the unrooted stock ROM didn't work, still no wireles lan.

Does anybody know how to resolve this issue? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: If you flashed an unsafe boot image, page two has the solution.
[HTC Sensation] dre-z:
Maybe try to ask in the IRC channel from #revolutionary on irc.freenode.net (but please recheck this on their website :)), joined there today because of a minor problem and they seem very helpful.
[HTC Sensation] nicoaraalex:
u installed boot.img from cwm? I`m figuring out how to restore the old one..
[HTC Sensation] PartyMango:
I did some further investigation, and possibly was to quick on the draw:

While trying to find a solution, I noticed that I was able to connect to some other networks without problems. So I tried changing channels & power-cycling my WiFi access point. Et voilà: Magically, my wireless lan-problems did disappear.

I guess the problem was with the router all along, no fault of unrevoked & AlphaRev which I both want to praise for their excellent work in unlocking this phone.

Next time, I'll try turning it off and on again, first ;)
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Glad you fixed it Mr Mango, can you change the Title of your Thread to Fixed then :)
[HTC Sensation] PartyMango:
I used the boot.img for CWM provided with the tutorial here (Step 2): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Thanks Mr Flirty Magno
[HTC Sensation] nicoaraalex:
well not working for me.. on Wi-Fi, it says Error... doesn't turn on or off...
[HTC Sensation] dlads:
Exactly the same problem here, nothing to connect to because the wifi won't initiate. Really need help with this too.
[HTC Sensation] joel.bourquard:
Same here! Sensation with Vodaphone branded ROM, no wifi anymore. Says "Error" in wireless menu.

I'm not sure if this was caused by S-OFF itself or by the installation of the "Unsafe" boot image to get root in adb by default.

So far I haven't found a way to make the wifi work again!
[HTC Sensation] raegae2000:
I have the exact same "Error" problem with my T-mobile branded sensation
[HTC Sensation] joel.bourquard:
Ok, I think I really found the cause: it happens when I install the "Unsecured Boot.img - Europe" from there:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1122053

Edit: Same problem with the Unsecured boot img (Asia) !

But here's good news: just install a RUU and the Wi-Fi problem will be gone!
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
UNSAFE boot image was the cause. so i scrapped it

AS Joel said, just reinstall stock rom. and its gone.

for more information visit the guide to S-off, bottom of post 1 will tell you how to debrand or reinstall
[HTC Sensation] joel.bourquard:
Yes, everything works fine now with the un-branded ROM.

So there's no way to get direct root adb access without breaking wi-fi functionality at the moment?
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
When users had the wifi break, the rooting file in step 3 was outdated. it was for froyo and eclair only. whcih is why users flashed unsecured boot.img causing the WIFI loss.

NOW!

Read the Guide. If you follow step 3. you WILL get root and YOU WILL NOT LOSE WIFI.

initially Step 3. had a su file called su-ef2.3.6.1.zip which didnt work causing people to use the unsecured boot from binary

but the new one is called su-efgh2.3.6.3zip which is working

the difference, the new supports Gingerbread and Honeycomb

i followed step 3 and hundreds of others have, we are all rooted on stock or custom roms without wifi problems!
[HTC Sensation] joel.bourquard:
Sorry, maybe I wasn't being totally clear.

Yes, I flashed ClockworkMod and then "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" and it works great. I'm rooted, no problem with that.

The only thing I'm missing here, is that when I connect with "adb shell" I get the "$" prompt (not root). So I need to type "su" first. Then I'm root.

With the "unsecured boot" I get connected as root right away with "adb shell", but then the Wi-Fi doesn't work.

Therefore I was wondering if some way exists, to enable direct root for "adb shell" without breaking the Wi-Fi.
[HTC Sensation] Beast84:
Any recommendation on which RUU to flash? I have a Tmo Sensation. I don't wanna flash anything that will brick my phone now that I finally got S-OFF on this bad boy
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
I dont think there is a way yet, im not sure if it works directly or not, as i am currently using a custom rom
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Check your Build number under the software information in Settings.

it should start with 1.27.531.2 or 1.29.531.2

[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Ahhh, does this mean we naughty WIFI guys can try to re-root now? I was one of the ones that had WIFI go crap out after the root, and I flashed back to a stock ROM for TMOUS. Does this mean I can try to root again and plan on it working this time?

Matt
[HTC Sensation] joel.bourquard:
Yes, I definitely think you can go ahead. Just avoid flashing the "unsecured boot" zip and you'll be fine.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Can any of the poor saps with the wifi problem confirm this working? I will try it when I get home today.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] joel.bourquard:
Actually I really had this Wi-Fi problem myself. Problem goes away as soon as you flash a ROM (for example a RUU). I took this opportunity to de-brand my Sensation with the latest HTC ROM, and it works great (and rooted of course) ;)
[HTC Sensation] Master Loon:
I was excited by this thread, tried the tmous ruu and, and...still with a wifi issue.

Hi,

Am experiencing the same issue.

Tried to check deeper and during logcat i get the following :

E/WifiService( 443): Failed to load Wi-Fi driver.

....

D/NetSharing( 4585): onReceive : android.net.wifi.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED

Am not much an expert on this but seems as it is a driver issue.

Strange enough that the issue still persist after wipe->clear dalvik->Install ARHD 3.6.5 or wipe->clear dalvik->Install->LD_Sensational_v3.1.0.

Removed SD and rebooted without it, doesnt help.

running out of options...

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepittbull:
The pit files you've quoted are old. They're probably for the Froyo based ROMs. For Gingerbread firmwares, use the pit file I've attached below. I zipped it up as XDA doesn't allow files with a .pit extension. Just extract it from the zip file and use it.

Use these following setup in the pic below, substituting the "P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME.tar" file in place of the "GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar”, as well as the modem of choice in the Phone slot.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepittbull:
Are you using a zip file instead of a tar file? Seems it can't read the file in the PDA section. If you've downloaded it as a zip file, you need to extract it out first. Your file names in your screenshot is kinda long, so I can't exactly see the files you're flashing. If you're on JQ1, use the JPZ for now.

Anyway, the GB stocksafe file is from TeamOvercome.net. It's our recommended stock-safe package, that we recommend to keep as it's like a mini-toolkit with everything you need to restock. There's the guide on the site, to help you in the restocking process with the package.
