First of all what rom are u in, can u access Download mode? [VOL DWN+POWER+HOME]

If u r in a 2.3.4 GB, try flashing a new GB kernel like semaphore. Load it as PDA in ODIN. If that doesnt work, flash a fresh rom from here - GingerReal Its got clear instructions and all the downloads. I am not sure but i think you lost ur bootloader.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gohabs93:
I was on surfarce 2.3.4 rom. But after flashing with odin the pit file (and it finished flashing), I turned off the phone. Now it does not turn on at all, not even when plugged. So I cant go in download since it does not turn on. It's guess it's dead

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moe29:
Have been running CM-6.1-RC1 for sometime and wanted to update to CM-6.1

After updating, the phone keeps rebooting itself, it brings up the G1 ( T-Mobile ) screen for sometime, then blanks and reboots itself, and so on

Restoring from backup works fine, but that brings it back 6.1-RC1

Any ideas what might be causing this ?

I tried wiping the cache's , but that doesn't seem to change anything

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Updating update-cm-6.1.0-DS-2708port_S worked fine

This is what happens when you try to update sometime after midnight!
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Hi folks,

On a lark I tried replacing the digitizer/touchscreen on a freebie Eris donated by a friend.

The old touchpanel was a Synaptics, and was dead/wonky in the lower left hand corner above the home/menu keys (those soft keys worked, however). It had a scratch on the glass in this same area, which led me to think that the repair would be straightforward.

The result was not acceptable, however - it is very "jittery". (The GB Dev Tools "Pointer Location" activity always seems to show a larger uncertainty circle on this unit compared to a different Eris w/ a Synaptics digitizer)

The replacement unit that I received was a Melfas assembly - the 1.49.2000 (S-OFF) bootloader reports it as a

TOUCH PANEL-MELFAS_45_17

Relevant kernel boot log messages (dmesg output post-replacement):

<3>[ 9.397033] i2c_smbus_read_byte_data failed
<4>[ 9.397125] synaptics-rmi-ts: probe of 0-0020 failed with error -5

<6>[ 9.639556] input: desirec-keypad as /devices/virtual/input/input2

So, apparently the "45_17" thing that the bootloader reports is "<hardware_rev>_<firmware_version>". The Melfas digitizer is (probably) P/N MTH-HCERB00.R14 (mfg date 8/2009), and the controller chip on the digitizer assembly has a 40-pin QFP with the ID/Datecode:

MELFAS

6SI20D

0941E

Unfortunately, nothing useful on Melfas' website that would shed any light on this.

So, anyhow...

Q: For those of you that have Melfas Touchpanels, what values do you see reported by the bootloader for hardware and firmware versions?

It's probably too much to expect to find an Eris touchpanel expert here, so instead, I'm wondering:

Q: Have any of you experienced similar issues with digitizer replacements - things that made you suspect there might be either hardware or firmware revision compatibility issues?

At this point my best guess is the problem I have is on the mobo, not the digitizer - but I can't be 100% sure, as the hw/fw revs of the digitizer could also be a wildcard. Strange, though - I don't see a peep out of the I2C kernel driver complaining about problems on that bus.

bftb0
[Droid Eris Android Development] DrkSynDc8:
Hmmmm.

My Eris also has the Melfas_45_17 touch panel. I wonder if the 6SI20D chip is a rebranded ARM processor, like the one mentioned in this article:?

http://mobile.arm.com/about/newsroom/25222.php?setcookie=mobile
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Thanks for the reply, DrkSynDc8 (85 page views and you're the first.) I take it that your digitizer is "factory", not a replacement.

I did a little more digging - in fact, a comment by someone in the (XDA) Samsung Moment forum (!) led me to take a look at the Eris HTC kernel sources, and in fact there is special handling in the melfas_tsi.c driver code, in particular

(snippet from melfas_tsi.h)

#define MELFAS_TRIANGLE_PATTERN 0x41
#define MELFAS_DIAMOND_PATTERN 0x45

(snippet from melfas_tsi.c)

if (ts->wake_up && (ts->sensor_revision == MELFAS_DIAMOND_PATTERN)) {

So, I suppose (if the sensor rev is printed in hex by the bootloader - i.e. "45") that this indicates that I have no reason to suspect this particular hardware - there is "sensor_revision" handling in the HTC driver code to handle this specific version (and nothing other than a print statement for the firmware rev), so that's conclusive evidence that HTC was building with this digitizer. Everything else about the digitizer seems reasonable - the manufacturing date is two months before the Eris first shipped.

As for the Melfas chip (and the link you provided, thanks) - the ARM "cores" are licensed as IP cores; ARM doesn't physically produce any chips themselves. So, yeah - there might be an ARM core in there, along with the analog circuitry for driving/detecting the passive panel's capacitive sensors. Too bad Melfas doesn't provide data sheets.

The odd thing about this (the fact that the replacement unit acts squirelly) is that the "interface" being disconnected at the digitizer flex-cable connector is an I^2C bus interface plus power/ground for digitizer circuit(s). I would think that if something were wrong on the mobo side of the connector, I would see the kernel barking about I^2C problems. (I suppose a degraded power/ground connection could muck up the analog side of things without affecting the I^2C interface.)

The only other thing that I suppose could be a possibility is a stray charge / grounding issue with the digitizer screen itself. I replaced the gummy, black, factory adhesive with double-sided tape. Makes me wonder if that gummy, black goo is slightly conductive, since the bond is made to an aluminum frame in the front assembly; otoh, I haven't seen any reports about problems from other folks who used superglues or other non-conducting cementing methods when they replaced digitizers.

cheers

bftb0

PS. A little off-topic, but in my digging around, I fooled around with ".idc" files, and concluded via experimentation that (for CCM7_v18 GB, anyway) that

/system/usr/idc/melfas-tsi-touchscreen.idc

is the correct location for the Input Manager's device-specfic "device calibration" file for the melfas-tsi-touchscreen driver.

But, without further digging, I am not sure that the Input Manager's behavior (see getInputDeviceCalibration() in com.android.server.InputManager) is anything more than a stub for this particular device - it will read java name/value pairs out of that file, but I don't know (a) whether anything is done with them or (b) what the appropriate name/value pairs would be for the melfas-tsi device.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoinx:
I couldn't find any threads on this, sorry if it's been asked before.

I can mount CIFS/NFS shares fine through CIFS Manager, but it doesn't auto-mount those shares on boot.

I'm trying to find a way to do this on boot. I can't find any sort of fstab from looking around that I could use for this.

I find some information that suggested that you can run script commands on boot if they're located at /data/local/userinit.sh So I attempted to put the mount commands in there.

(yeah, I know "collen" is misspelled, but it is on the share)

both those commands *will* mount when I do them from terminal after creating the /mnt/cifs/comics and /mnt/cifs/avis directories... For some reason though, they get removed on each boot... so I suspect that maybe that's preventing the script from mounting them?

Anyone know of a way to do this?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skunkeye:
You might try adding:

mkdir -p /mnt/cifs/comics

mkdir -p /mnt/cifs/avis

to the script before the mount commands, to make sure the mount points are there after a reboot. It might also be that the userinit.sh script is not being run as the superuser, which may be necessary for the mount command to work.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoinx:
Actually, it occurs to me that I'm a bit of an idiot for thinking this would work...

I doubt it would have a wifi connection when any boot scripts get ran... so a CIFS mount shouldn't work at that point anyway.

ok, i was going to put my phone back to stock due to all the reboots from eh17, when i first started with odin it would get to getting pit and not move, i removed it then tried again several more times , it would get further but then stop, then it would get stuck on getting pit again , now i cant even boot it up, no power no nothing even when plugged into power port it shows absolutely nothing. any advice here would be nice or did I screw the pooch

When a phone is doa they won't even try and fix it.
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
NOTHING WILL WORK guys. He's not half bricked. If the unit doesn't even power on to show you that that the batteries charging its gone. Another way to tell is to leave it plugged in the charger. Wait about 15 minutes and feel your epic for "charge heat". If its cold. Its dead.

[Android Software Development] Ezekeel:
I could not find any binaries of the MTD-Utils (a set of useful tools when dealing with flash devices; see http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/index.html) for Android so I compiled some Android binaries from the source (http://git.infradead.org/mtd-utils.git).

My main interest was to get the two programs 'nanddump' and 'nandwrite' running on Android which must be used instead of 'dd' when creating images of nand partitions and restoring partitions from these images, because dd does not handle the bad blocks on the nand correctly which could lead to corrupted data.

With these two tools more flexible backup/recovery tools can be implemented since a backup/recovery can be made for every partition available on the device, even those which do not have a readable filesystem, for example the bootloader. Also, for partitions which include a filesystem, but hide some extra data outside that filesystem, this hidden data will also be included in the backup. These raw nand partition images can be tar'd or zip'd to reduce the size of the backup files.

[Android Software Development] shaunco:
Is there any way to have nanddump directly send the image to a PC that is running recv_image? I'd like to use nanddump on my Galaxy Nexus, but since it is lacking an SD card, it would seem like writing the nanddump image to the nand would just destroy any possibility of obtaining a clean nand image.

I found a way using netcat...

From host machine in one console window:
