I hope that is not American dollars. If it is, that's overkill. You can build a very good machine for about $800 American dollars, not $8,000. Anyway, where should I start for hacking? By the way, I don't mean to hijack this topic. Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bosna110:
Where would you like to start? i mean if there is any particular portion of the rom hacking/devving let me know

---------- Post added at 05:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 AM ----------

and by the way yes it is american dollars. and there is no correction i did mean $8,000.00 USD
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlindWolf8:
Nothing in particular. Just throw something at me. :)

...and why $8,000? Are you building a webserver for a hosting company?

Damn does anyone have such poor batt life as I...come to think of it since this new rom I've dropped 10% at boot and turning the phone off after a full charge...crazy I just un installed no phirlls and deleted the widgets trying to isolate the problem..but I'm betting its the background data..shiett if only 3rd parties made extended batterys for this phone id be ok. :/ bummer ...the

Battery drain episode rains again on another android device.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjubo:
Ok. So the recovery and everything works fine I have no problems with the bootloader. I'm coming rom Sacs Royal Liquid Rom 2.2 and want a 2.3.3 rom. But EVERYTIME I flash the new rom it will boot the first time but after pressing restart it won't boot. It never fails happens every time. It boots the first time then after that no more. Any suggestions...maybe an image file?

Also when I restore my Sacs Royal Liquid Rom everything works fine. Its just when I try a new one it flops
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Might be a bad flash. Re-flash your recovery via PC36IMG file in the bootloader, backup your current rom, do a full wipe, then flash your gingerbread rom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
If you are rooted you can't update OTA.There is an update thread in Development to update rooted 3.1 to 3.2 rooted stock. I think its by stachre. Or you could just flash the Hammerhead Rom and get the update to 3.2, preserve your root and enjoy the new Rom-works with 3G too.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amenawon:
Thanks for the response

I have a similar challenge

Verizon 3g Motorola Xoom

Android version 3.0.1

Kernel version 2.6.36.3Tiamat_Xoom-v1.3.0-g5019ece-dirty bigrushdog@bigrushdog-HP-Pavilion-dv9500-Notebook_PC #3

Build number HR166

Device has been re-configured for another 3g network and is working well, except that I am unable to upgrade. I like to get my tablet to version 3.2 and later to 4.0.3 and without losing data

Will “flash the Hammerhead Rom and get the update to 3.2” option work for me? If yes, please help with instructions and required software links

Hey everyone my HTC HD2 got the Non-Responsive screen problem a week ago, & did a lot of research and found out that it was most likely a hardware problem with a cable..... So a lot of people would tell the people with the problem that the "Touch Screen Digitizer" is dead (like the cable), or it needs to be cleaned... pretty well go out and buy a new one... BUT I have never found evidence that someone has done this and it has successfully "cured" their HTC HD2 Non-Responsive touch screen problem...

So I was looking for anyone on the forums that could confirm this is a solution or give me any tips on what I should do.... AND no I don't have enough money to get a new phone, nor do I live in the USA so I can't send it in to fix it...:mad:

This is what I was going to buy for it:

Thanks for taking the time to read my Thread, its much appreciated!! :D I hope I can find a fix!!

PS: If anyone wanted to know what it looks like out of curiosity I posted 3 pictures with RED circle HIGHLIGHTING the problem when I try to touch something....
[HD2 General] conmetal:
My digitizer has been a bit dodgy for the past few months. It's ironic that when I finally found out what the issue was and called HTC, my factory warranty had ended exactly 4 days prior to the call.

Fast forward 3 months and my phone has now been unresponsive for 3 hours despite my prying and tweaking various hard parts.

I disassembled the phone down to the main board just to see how hard the install is, but it's a bit intimidating once it's time to start pulling all the film and ribbons. A bit too tight and small parts for my liking.

Time to hit CL to see if I can find a cheap replacement.

Good luck with your repairs. I may be following in your footsteps if I can not find a good deal.
[HD2 General] Heronization:
Yeah I will see how well it goes... if anyone has useful info, i will be more than grad to hear it :P

Thanks
[HD2 General] enigma1nz:
Many people attempt to replace a digitizer, but I simply don't recommend it, we see enough of do-it-yourselvers who created problems in addition to the original ones.

What I do recommend, however, and I stated it on many threads already, is to get an LCD+DIGITIZER assembly. Simply because it is easier to fit. Not saying the overall fitting is easy, always depends on your overall skill, so ensure that you are familiar with the procedure BEFORE you begin. But you will save yourself a lot of trouble by getting the whole thing, as opposed to the digitizer only for the sake of a few bucks.

However, if anyone still feels intimidated by the whole thing, I am on the lookout for working main board. Advertised a few times in the marketplace with limited success. So if anyone smashed their baby and will be looking to replace, rather than repair - drop me a PM. I am in NZ. Will pay by Paypal.
[HD2 General] cheeselump:
Mm i've replaced my HD2 screen just last night. Trust me it's among the most complex phones around.

Unless you've done a few phones before i wouldn't advice you DIY. Otherwise you can look carefully at the Leo Ds. and Leo As. guides on youtube. those helped me!

Mm i killed my LCD in the process of removing the digitizer as it's stupidly glued on to each other and the LCD glass is thin as hell.

Get the set, it'll save you your time :)

Mm i got mine of ebay, from the seller goodgoodsecho. It works perfectly well for me!

All the best! :D
[HD2 General] orangekid:
How much did the set cost?
[HD2 General] Heronization:
Thanks I will check it out, hopefully it won't be to hard and I hope I can repair it!! oh and could you post a link of the youtube & manual you used to replace your screen??:D Thanks

Oh would anyone suggest then just calling HTC and sending it to them to repair?? or does that cost to much??

Thanks everyone for the help
[HD2 General] GnatGoSplat:
One word of advice I have, is just remove the LCD/digitizer module assembly and don't remove anything else.

I have no idea why these videos and manuals have you pulling circuit boards, flex cables, and disconnecting stuff just to remove the LCD module. All you really have to do after removing the rear housing is to cut through the double-sided tape holding the LCD module to the main frame, being careful to know where the flex is and not to go too deep there. I used a credit card for that, but anything similarly flat and thin should do.
[HD2 General] Heronization:
Yah I was looking at the video's and they were taking off EVERYTHING... it looks really hard to do.. I don't know whether I want to do it anymore.....

oh and are you talking about the digitizer itself or the LCD+digitizer for your method?

Thanks
[HD2 General] GnatGoSplat:
Yep, there is absolutely no reason to take off everything like some people seem to think is necessary.

The way I'm talking about requires removing LCD+digitizer. In fact, I think you'll always have to remove both because the connector for the digitizer is under the LCD. Anyway, the way I did it, I went from removing the the phone insides from the rear housing straight to separating the LCD+digitizer assembly from the frame. No removal of any boards or flex cables. The only cable to be disconnected is the LCD+digitizer assembly one. Getting it disconnected and reconnected does require unplugging the front button flex and removing the screws for the bottom logic board to loosen it, but that's all.
[HD2 General] Heronization:
Wow that sounds pretty simple!:eek: and for you it all works perfectly now?? no calibration needed or problems?? Maybe I will try it after all..... but what screw drivers to I need to dissemble it?? the screws look different from normal..
[HD2 General] GnatGoSplat:
Well, it's not that simple because simply getting the HD2 insides out of the rear housing is difficult if you've never done it before. I believe the screwdriver you need is a Torx T-5. Once you get the screws out, you will need a plastic opening tool to go between the digitizer and rear housing frame. They look like this:

http://www.ifixit.com/Tools/Plastic-Opening-Tools/IF145-000

I found it comes out much easier if I use the tool to make a gap along the top edge and then slide the entire end of a scrap credit card into that gap, then that makes the whole assembly easier to pry out along the sides with the tool. I know on one of the vids, the guy takes forever doing this part and I can understand why, but once I figured out sliding a credit card into the top gap as far as it would go, I was able to get it apart much easier.

I can't answer whether the phone will work properly, because I just ordered the new digitizer over the weekend and haven't put it back together. I did remove the LCD+digitizer assembly and then re-connected it and put it back, then powered on the phone just to make sure pulling the LCD didn't hurt it - it didn't, everything worked as well as it did before. I did manage to crack the digitizer more when I tried to get the insides out of the rear housing before I figured out the credit card trick, so fortunately I was not trying to save my digitizer as it was already cracked. If you are just wanting to try to clean or fiddle with the connection, then you're going to have to be a LOT more careful than I was because it was all too easy to crack the digitizer!

I'm guessing yours probably needs replacement though. I sent my HTC Surround in for a funny acting digitizer, and the digitizer was replaced.

Oh, and if I would have bought an LCD+digitizer pre-assembled unit, that would have been super easy to replace. However, I opted to save $50+ by buying just the digitizer. Not too sure how I'm going to prevent dust getting in it, and I've read thickness of the adhesive is critical. I may regret it later!
[HD2 General] Heronization:
Ok thanks I think thats what I am going to do, first dissemble it then try to move the cable around because, just yesterday it started to work again and then today it isn't working. I will contact you if I have a problem or get stuck, if that is ok with you :P

Thanks a lot:)
[HD2 General] GnatGoSplat:
Yeah, no prob. I can post a pic of the digitizer lifted from the frame which shows where the adhesive tapes are that you have to go through, if it would help.
[HD2 General] Heronization:
Hey lolz I need your help already, I just took off the back housing and now Im lost on what to do... It looks to me as if you do have to remove the cables from the motherboard to get to it?? and what is the double sided tape? and isn't everything connected to the lcd?? lolz this is my first time doing any phone disassemble.. Thanks

added a picture of what I was thinking of doing... or am I doing this all wrong... because you did say we don't need to remove any flex cable or wires and stuff

Thanks!!:D
[HD2 General] GnatGoSplat:
Nope, I didn't disconnect anything except the circled connector on the far right of your picture. You will need to do that to remove the LCD flex cable from the logic board.

I've attached a pic of the LCD module loosened from the frame. What you do is use something thin and flat to separate the adhesive tape holding the LCD to the frame. You will need to lift some of that black fabric tape on the edge to see where the LCD module meets the frame. Near the top, you will probably have to slide your separating tool all the way through to separate the tape (I used a scrap credit card). Avoid the area where the LCD flex cable is, because you could damage it! It's on the lower right of the LCD if you are looking from the front. When the LCD is loose, lift up from left to right (when LCD is facing you), pretending that there is a hinge on the right side. This is because you don't want to put any force on the LCD flex.

Once you've got your phone looking like my picture, you can remove the "captain" (orange tape), unlatch the LCD flex from the top, remove the button flex from its connector, then loosen the bottom logic board from the frame just enough to pull the flex out of the connector.

I hope that makes sense! It probably helps to know that a very strong double-sided sticky tape is all that holds the LCD+digitizer assembly to the frame, and there is only one flex cable connecting LCD+digitizer assembly to the rest of the phone.
[HD2 General] Heronization:
Awesome I will try it now, I do need to heat the screen some for the tape to get sticky so I can pry it off right?? and I am guessing once you have removed that tape you can't "just stick it back on together and it will work right?? right??
[HD2 General] GnatGoSplat:
You could try heating; I didn't, but maybe it will come apart easier if you do. In the HTC factory service video, they mentioned putting the whole phone into the oven to loosen the tape. I didn't know if it would be a good idea to do that complete with all the circuit boards or not.

No, without heat, the tape is definitely ruined and I will need to replace it. I was planning to use some leftover tape I have from fixing iPhone digitizers so I didn't even attempt to salvage the existing tape. Not sure if it's even possible to salvage that tape considering you need to stick some kind of tool in there to separate it.
[HD2 General] Heronization:
Alright thanks I have to go and don't know when I'll be back, but I will try it tonight and hopefully I don't break anything...

Thanks for the help!

I really want to know this as well, because my phone is basically unusable at this state. I can get into it maybe 2 or 3 times a day, if i really try (locking and waking up the screen over and over until it becomes responsive). I don't want to buy a new digitizer if it isn't going to fix it, but i would gladly buy one if it will fix it. If you try it, and it does work for you, send me an email at dylanschulz@hotmail.com :).

Anyone with any other information on this please help us out, there is a surprisingly small amount of info on this issue, considering how many phones were affected.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dmunseyautotech:
screen

I have read some threads on the power button being the cause. Try pressing it several times. Once you get the screen operating go to the market and get screen off app and a reboot app. Place them on your home screen toolbar. I use adw and it has an extra hidden toolbar if you swype down and then up on toolbar and up then down to close it. Either way you do it is fine. This keeps you from pushing the power button which has been discovered to be the problem. Hope this helps. I haven't had the problem, but seeing that it's happening more often I use these apps to keep from using power button unless needed to boot into magdlr.

[HTC EVO 3D] kr3wsk8er54:
I was in the bootloader and clicked factory reset and I quickly took the battery out to stop it. Would that screw anything up on the phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
You're probably ok, but pulling the battery during an operation like that isn't the brightest idea. It's like you're trying to get your phone bricked. Resetting your phone isn't as bad as the alternative. Doesn't it ask you if you're sure before it resets?
[HTC EVO 3D] xionmedia:
I also agree. Also i do think that it verified by reset
[HTC EVO 3D] kr3wsk8er54:
It didn't ask I was in the bootloader not the recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] kr3wsk8er54:
Jw should I just do the reset and then install my stuff back?
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Just try and boot up if all is good take it as a lesson learned. If not then just do a full data wipe and then a nand restore.

Hi everyone I just a bought a Droid X2 and flashed it to cricket, I also rooted the phone and its currently running gingerbread 2.3.3. The signal before rooting it was almost ull signal strenght and after rooting it I only have 1 and sometimes nothing. Is there any rom that improves signal. I heard of dj05 but its very old. Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated

Do a *228 option 1, then *228, option 2. The only dj05 I know of was for the fascinate though.

So T-Mobile finalized the crappy update no new kernel, ****ty camera, and tons of people still have problems. So that means they didnt pull it nor are they fixing it ;( how do u guys feel about this? Total joke rite.... and if u really think about this and this is probably the only time u will ever hear this, froyo on are phone was way better!!! In alot of ways, crazy rite, gb for are phone was a downgrade not an upgrade!!! T-Mobile u dooshbags! Smh a year and a half old os (froyo) blows gb away on our phones....yea T-Mobile definitely dropped the ball on this gb update, haha and we waited what 3, 4 months for this? I actually had a little faith when I heard they pulled the update to better it, guess it was just a rumor

I think they'll get the camera back in Gingerbread and do some other tweaks, but they're never going to announce it so they don't have to deal with thousands of people asking them "when?" every day of the week. It'll just pop up one day and that'll probably be the last official update the G2x receives. Ice Cream Sandwhich? Yeah right :rolleyes:.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] *Omnipresent*:
Everything in this statement is true, unfortunately. Even though my G2x is running great, i still feel we got played. Especially the whole "yeah, its got the AT&T 3G frequencies false advertising debacle".:rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
I agree on many fronts. But I still remain hopeful that LG will release the source code for their kernel within the next few weeks, and the ultra-talented devs can start optimizing that code for better battery life, less reboots, etc.

We already have some pretty sweet roms and themes coming out for 2.3.3. It would seem that if we could get some customized kernels for it, we'd be in business. Snappier interface due to swapping, working a2dp, hdmi, etc...even might have the LG cam working without bugs soon.

I wouldn't go crazy freaking out at this point. However, I will concede that T-Mobile and LG did NOT live up to even the slightest expectations we placed on them. We would be lost without these awesome devs.

So keep that in mind, and support their work and/or keep clicking thanks.

So I guess those of us that haven't rooted are considering it even more so now? I've had an Android device (never rooted) since I pre-ordered my G1 and i've never been disappointed. Until I got the G2X. The phone is very nice, but it has had many more problems than my Nexus One. When upgrading to this, I thought to myself.. look at the specs.. it CAN'T be anything but much better. I don't hate the G2X and i've been lucky to not have as many problems as some of you, but problems are problems regardless. Whether it's a few or 100.

Its in the 5th paragraph down, (2 down from the video).

But not much before, so, who knows. I think the g2x was around apr 15, and this announcement was a month later.
