can you check battery discharge? i just wanna see what level of control you have.

enter

adb shell cat /sys/devices/platform/htc_battery/power_supply/battery/status

it will say "CHARGING" or "DISCHARGE"
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
As I said, adb doesn't detect the phone.

But the phone was about 90% when I killed it.
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
ok well it seems thats its in download/recovery mode from you're earlier post, so lets try fastboot

fastboot reboot

OR

fastboot reboot-bootloader

EDIT* also, are you rooted, superCID or anything special like that?
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
<waiting for device>

... nothing
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
are you rooted, superCID or anything special like that?

and did you download the QPST drivers? that might help with adb/fastboot, or another idea im currently pondering
[HTC Sensation] puiutzuusa:
Look for football's thread in the Android development section. It's called (ROM) SHIPPED PYRAMID ROM COLLECTION, you'll find two RUU files for tmous( get the latest one, 1.29) if that's your case. Good luck
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
unfortunately, hes got a bell canada S4G, so unless he already supercid, its not an option :(
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
ok, so after much thought and deliberation, your fone is pretty much ****ed, has a hardware brick due to corrupt partition.

there are 3 alternatives in front of you:

1) if you arent root, exchange/return to where you got it

2) pray that a JTAG unbrick comes out soon (i have a set for my hd2, but i havent studied much on the S4G's partition table)

3)sell it as a replacement parts fone on craigslist etc, and use that money to get a new one.

as a last ditch effort, try running this RUU, and see what ya get, although im sure it wont work, its the only thing you havent tried:

last one on the first post - RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074559

EDIT* i also just remembered that if you are seeing the device show up on usb, there *could* (and its a really long shot) be a way to unbrick w/o JTAG (just like the sammy captivate unbricker), but there arent any QPST drivers for this phone available, so its impossible for the time being...
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
1. I'm obviously rooted, and I contacted HTC about them possibly fixing it for a fee.

2. I've seen some posts about a JTAG (or some stuff with a TTL board) for the EVO 3D. But I think that doing this is WAAAAAY outside my comfort zone.

3. I thought about that, but let's see how things go.
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
yeah ive looked into the e3d Dl mode w/ jtag, but its apparently not the say for the s4g (which is bizarre), but as it stands if you are willing to pay, sending it to HTC is the best option.

sorry i couldnt help, it was worth a shot

not to mention its always difficult to troubleshoot these things in forum posts and pm's :P
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
A little update...

I have contacted HTC, which forwarded me to Bell & Futuretel. I have tried dealing with Bell before (to fix the creeky battery cover) but they told me to take it into the store. Never got around to it, etc...

I am trying to contact Futuretel right now but they don't reply quickly.

----

Also, I managed to install the correct drivers and stuff to use QPST and download mode. Unfortunately, I have no idea what I am doing in there.
[HTC Sensation] xtcislove:
i really dont understand what you do there?

fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img

and you are done.

If you are too lazy to read why you dont use the tools for that? There is a splash flasher....

Its not fair to let HTC repair your phone! You done it! Why should they repair it? Just be carefully with your next phone and dondt do such dumb things.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Mate, don't be a.... Whatever. Re-read what he said, he is willing to pay! Good on him.

I would have just sent it back to see what they do without telling them about s-off. If its just the case of flashing Bell RUU, it cost them.nothing. If it involves repair and they don't charge you, well, I could live with that.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
You guys forget that HTC builds the cost of repairs and what not into the price of the phone. Everyone does. Do you really think that they dont? You are paying for it one way or another, so send it in and hope for the best.

They make even more off of you if you DONT ask them to pay out. Id return it and tell them nothing. Its THEIR job to interpret THEIR terms, not you!

Who is to say that a defect, on their end, isnt to blame for this anyways? For all we know, our phones might not get bricked so easily if they were built correctly. Maybe I am right, maybe I am wrong?

We are CONSUMERS, not guardians of truth. Its HTC's responsibility to sort out stuff, not ours.

Stop your indoctrinated BS backing of big business like HTC.
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
+1

Amen dude.
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
The way I mentioned (when done properly) will do the same thing. I've used the fastboot method to flash, but I wanted to restore the backup I've made but I made a typo and broke the device :P

How is it not fair for HTC to fix the device? Even if they want to charge me $100 since the warranty is void, I'd be happy to pay.
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Same thing, but Fastboot is safer. Especially since adb is much more prone to typo mistakes as we've just witnessed.

Was there a recent OTA for the Bell Sensation? Just tell them you ran the OTA and this happened. They'll give you a new one or fix it without much trouble.
[HTC Sensation] xtcislove:
If you tell HTC what you have done and they repair it for nothing it is okay.

If you pay for it it is ok.

If you say it wont turn on or something like this it is not fair!

If you buy a car and you trying to improve the PS and it fails... your seller wont repair it because its not Car related! You have done something wrong.

Only why they dont really can have a look what you have done its not the right way to dont tell them not the thrue.

Ive heard of many People who pay 8 € a Month for a phone to have the Gurantee to smash it ad the end of the 2 years contract to a wall and then cet a new one to sell it.....

This is just not fair! Your Error your Problem
[HTC Sensation] Mr_Boob_Burglar:
Well if your going to pay that much I would see how much it would be to get a replacement thats why you have insurance on it for... Yea it may be refurbished but your getting it with another warranty... So learn from your mistakes... Simple as that.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compuw22c:
Was just watching a video of the note and saw samsung added rotation animations on touchwiz with 2.3.5. so of course the question is, has anyone seen this coming for the i9100 cousin as well? Thoughts?. I hate that only motorola had rotation animations in android (not even cm7). Though honeycomb and probably ics do have this stock...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruflot:
There was also videos of the GS2 having rotate animation in the browser, but it doesn't. Which meabs there where probably some problems that occoured.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compuw22c:
boooooo why should Motorola get all the love? Terrible phones, terrible policies

On the bright side, I'd imagine ICS will bring real hardware acceleration to the OS, hopefully also rotation animation from honeycomb...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotaro_14:
I like the build though on Motorola's phones though and what types of material they use, unlike Samsung's love w/ plastic. :P

Maybe they will implement it in, it would be a nice feature to have.. I love eye candy.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w98seeng:
I have a I9000M running JVR with KG3 modem and CSC and speedmod-kernel-k15i-t8

When I try to download something off the market, all apps get stalled at 'Starting download'. This only happens when I'm connected to my WI-FI. I have never had any problems with my connection before a couple of days ago, then nothing would install.

I tried everything, starting Google Talk, disabled data roaming, cleaned cache in recovery, rebooted phone, installed the new market apk, etc.

My internet connection is fine, nothing else is affected.

Any ideas on what to look for?

Thanks,

Ian
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j3tz3:
Hey i got the same problem. Heres how i got it fixed. I first flashed with odin stock gingerbread 2.3.2, then i flashed with odin darkys 9.2 rezurection edition. After it i put to the sd card the f1 sgs 2 rom and it got fixed. Hope this works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Try installing the old market.

You can either go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Market and select Uninstall Updates, or uninstall the market using TB then run the old market's apk (you can find it in Apps and Themes).

Some people have had an issue where the new market will tell them they have no room to install an app. When I was having that problem, sometimes it would give me the error, other times it would just hang forever at Starting Download. Therefore the fix for that issue is worth a try.

As for the previous poster's solution...I think flashing three ROMs is a bit excessive to solve this problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpaZzzzz:
actually this problem happens in the old market too.

i think it happens more on wifi than on 3G... tho im not 100% sure about that.

anyway, it happens to me alot and what i do is:

1. stop the download and try again.

2. switch between 3G to WIFI and vice versa.

3. completely close the market thru applictions->manage apps, and try again.

and if all of the above isnt working:

4. i give up and try again tomorrow...

good luck!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w98seeng:
Thanks all for the responses.

In the last couple of days I have installed JVR and KG3 with the same problem so it's not the firmware.

I have the market that comes with JVR and installed the new one with the same results. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the market, cleared the cache in application management and cleared the cache in recovery.

I download something and I only get the green striped bar saying starting download, but if I turn off Wi-Fi, and cancel the download and restart it right away, it works on 3G.

I can surf the net, send texts, download stuff from Dropbox on Wi-Fi no problem, just the market does not download apps.

This was happening before I updated to the new market, but did this also.

Thanks,

Ian
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w98seeng:
Can it be a problem with the file system? Where are the files put when downloaded from the market?

Ian
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w98seeng:
So I went back to stock KG3 today. No custom kernel, no root, no nothing. The Market still doesn't work.

Can it be something to do with the file system? Whether or not I clicked repartition in Odin?

Thanks,

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yakobo:
Hello. I have searched the forums and have not really found out an answer to my question. Earlier in the week I tried installing Andromeda with an ursa minor kernal I believe? (I was following a tut on youtube) I succesfully got ursa minor on my phone but the tutorial failed to mention I had to put Andromeda on the internal sd card to flash it. (first time trying to flash a rom so big noob). I decided to go back to stock and retry using Odin One Click. Odin bricked my phone because it is build number 1108 :/ I have an infinite ATT world phone boot loop because of this. I will be trying to make a jig/buying one soon to get back into download mode to fix this. I am not sure exactly what I am supposed to do once I am in download mode. I want to get back to stock. Obviously Odin One Click doesn't work because of my build number. What steps should I follow to go back to froyo 2.2 and to retry? Please help I am just not sure.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
You'll have to use the full Odin program and grab a stock ROM from the development section. Once your in download flash stock ROM with through Odin or heimdall. I'm not next to my computer so I don't feel like fishing for links ..but should be fairly easy!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
This is a Odin 1 click for KB1 2.2 stock. After that follow any roms instructions except if it says stock 2.1 ignore it and assume its stock 2.2

Might I ask do you need to get to 2.1?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yakobo:
When I got my phone (about a two weeks ago) it came with 2.2 already on the phone. I don't need to get to 2.1 but I was thinking I'd go to 2.1 and then upgrade to 2.2 using att? If I can?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
But why? If you got it as is and its stock its att's 2.2. At any rate If your so inclined on flashing 2.1 the one you mentioned thats using full Odin with pit should work. I suggest doing it if and only if you have that jig handy. Also keep in mind that .tar probably has bootloaders in it (wich is a risk you really dont need to take) just my 2 cents
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yakobo:
Links in that thread seem to be broken:/ So I suppose I can't use that.

My ultimate goal is to get Andromeda3 on my cappy. It seems to be a good rom. Could I just flash that using oden? (put it in the pda slot) or will that not work until I go back to stock?

With this new thread you linked me to, Just put in odin and I should be good to go? Thank you for your help by the way.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Ive never used that rom. Follow their instructions and assume stock is 2.2 for you. Also The original link i sent you should have worked. Aperrantly mediafire.com is having issues tonight.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
installing Andromeda3 doesnt require going back to stock, 2.2 or 2.1.

ODIN flash a custom CWM kernel

boot to recovery

flash rom

thats it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yakobo:
I can't because I bricked my cappy. i can't go into recovery right now. I need a jig to get back into download mode to fix it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yakobo:
Once I get my jig hopefully mediafire is up and I can download from the first link you sent me. That seems to be my best bet right now. Thank you for your help. I sure hope I can get my phone backXD
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
you are stuck in a boot loop right?

if you power your phone off, hold down both vol buttons and hold down the power button until the ATT screen comes up, let go, does it not go into recovery mode?

or

download mode:

power off, while holding both vol buttons, plug in usb. does that not work?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
Get ursa minor back on your phone, then mount usb in mounts and storage, then copy the Andromeda3 zip to the drive. You were almost there.

Fish around in the usb port with 301kOhms of resistance from radio shack. You will hit pins 4 abd 5 and you will be in download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yakobo:
No:/ no button combos work to get me in recovery or download mode. Getting a jig (hopefully today) so I can fix all this. Yes it is in a boot loop
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yakobo:
Thanks. I tried putting the Andromeda on the phone by copying it over to the phone through the mounted sd card but it was all of a sudden "write protected" and showed up as a cd instead of an sd card. :/ I know I was real close but I made some mistakes along the way :P

also, when you say fish around the usb port. you mean inside the phone? Is there any danger of hitting the wrong pins and possibly hurting my phone? (say i hit pins 3 and 5 by mistake or something) or is it all pretty safe? I was going to try and attempt the jig method that only used the resistors but n oticed the pins were horrible small in the phone:/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
It's not inside the phone... it's the USB port on the phone. One pin is on top and the other is on the bottom. If you don't have a JIG, that's the easy way to do it. There's no power on the USB port. This is a quick way to do it. You'll be fine. It's safe.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yakobo:
Sorry, that is what I meant. I meant to place where the charger is plugged in to. Just seems like the pins are really really tiny. Thank you for your help:) gonna get my resistors hopefully today and get my phone working again.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I haven't done anything with my phone yet other than update to Gingerbread, but I am curious about when the phone is in APX flash mode. Why do most of the tutorials tell you to keep holding the volume keys during the entire flash procedure? I had a phone with a similar low-level hardware flashing mode and as soon as it connected to the computer I could let go of the volume keys. I have seen a few youtube videos where people did not hold the volume keys and everything seemed to work. Was this just an urban legend that has taken hold in the G2X dev community, or will the phone disconnect from the computer if you let go of the volume keys? There seems to be no reason why once the phone is connected in APX mode you would need to continue to hold the volume keys. Has anyone in this forum flashed CWM or anything else in APX mode without holding the volume keys during the entire flash procedure?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xsteven77x:
Hmm not sure. I know with NVflash if i dont hold the keys the entire time, the bootloader fails to initialize. Maybe that is why?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
So if you are doing a larger flash, like the OS restore, once the bootloader initializes you can probably let go of the keys? On my other phone it was an even lower level flash and the bootloader wasn't invoked, so that probably explains the difference.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
I make sure nVflash, then I hold down the volume keys, and plug my phone into my computer. Once I hear the sound verifying that my phone has connected, I let go. It flashes fine for me.
[Thunderbolt General] destroyerbmx:
I had a lunch TB4g and it just bricked today, I was running ShiftAOSP 1.2 (I believe unrelated) and the .802 radio (possible) but it will just go to the HTC screen and reset and keep trying to boot. I can get into HBOOT and FASTBOOT, I have tried to reflash a root friendly RUU but it didnt fix anything and still cant boot. Just giving you a heads up. I had it overclocked to 1.22, I had it in my car on the way home, sent one text, 23% battery and I plugged it into my CPU USB to charge for a little waiting for some friends to show up and that is when it went into bootloop. Heat was not an issue as I had used it minimally the whole day sending small texts. It did sustain a major G shock 2 days prior but no excessive G or roughness today. Since it can get into HBOOT it might be recoverable but thats to the devs to decide, I have the unlocked 1.04 hboot installed.
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
i doubt the radio caused it, but that sucks man. see if you can talk verizon into a bionic for a replacement. ;)

[Thunderbolt General] Infamous_Cheez:
Have you tried flashing one of the recoveries that were modified to install through hboot? you can take your sd card out, and using a computer, place the PG05IMG.zip (search here @ XDA) and place it on the root of the card, flash through hboot. then using the computer again, remove the PG05IMG.zip from the sd card and go back into hboot and select recovery. i had to do this not too long ago and it worked for me, maybe it will help you.
[Thunderbolt General] destroyerbmx:
I pulled the battery and wont plug it in all night to see if it resets some error it maybe had, my new phone is delivered tomorrow so its not a big deal.
[Thunderbolt General] JBO1018:
I would agree. The whole reason I asked about recovery boot looping is because if it is thats pretty much identical symptoms everyone who had the boot loop of death "brick" thing had. If that is what the situation is I would get it s-on and get VZW to replace because I doubt he caused it.
