Don't put it in the microwave! Don't put it in the dryer!

When you had it apart did you see if the water strip changed red?

You only mention download mode, after you cleaned the "chip" is the background still red? What happens if you try to boot into cwm, when you try to boot normal?

If it is toast, you can get a used our refurbished one for fairly cheep, use this one for spare parts in the next emergency.

Note to self, even though it's a dirty dirty little phone, it really don't like baths.
[Epic 4G General] wealthcreate:
thanks megabiteg. I am going to return the handset to the rice bowl. Let me see what it results in.
[Epic 4G General] Jhiciano:
+1 on the rice, leave it next to a windows or something so the heat can suck the moisture out of the device . Same thing happened to my brothers phone, he had to open it up and place it in right to get it fully functional again .
[Epic 4G General] Stringyquark:
That video don't look good. But at least it turns on.
[Epic 4G General] wealthcreate:
I didnt saw any strip red. Can you please let me know where it is.

I tried to boot into cwm, but no response. Even trying to boot normally doesnt respond. I tried to boot into download mode now, and it doesnt boot up.

Seems that the phone is dead :(
[Epic 4G General] SocialReject:
Right on the money. I was going to say the exact same thing. My phone fell in the toilet (omg) but after doing the rice method, it's back to normal.

My camera button wasn't working for like 3 days but everything's fine now.

Try taking out the battery and SD card and soak it in rice. Best method ever.

[Epic 4G General] SocialReject:
That video looks awful. I wouldn't have plugged it up to any electricity though.

[Acer Iconia A500] sobertillnoon:
Sorry if this has been asked before but I did look before asking. No matter which 3.2 rom I use my wifi will disconnect and reconnect ever two minutes or so. When I go back to stock my wifi connection is stable again. Has anyone encountered this and does anyone have a solution? Thanks for any help.
[Acer Iconia A500] sammyboy405:
This happens in 3.1 as well. The work around I use is to connect to another Wifi Point, "it should connect" and the tell it to forget the one you where trying to connect too. disconnect from the one you are on.. Disable Wifi.. and Reboot the Tablet.. Now turn you Wifi back on and connect to the access point you previously where not able to connect too.

its worked for me several times over.. it happens when I switch between access points.
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
Same boat with disconnects and no gps at all, fixed by going back to 3.1 stock and loveing it. Was tabboonay 2.0
[Acer Iconia A500] tjkriegel:
I have the same issue with the 3.2 based roms. It's not that it won't connect, it's that it won't stay connected. I'm not sure but I think it might be due to this being an a501 base and not an actual a500.
[Acer Iconia A500] sobertillnoon:
i know with my captivate many people have different flavours of modem. Is it possible extract the modem software from the 3.1 software for the a500? I am in a war zone so the only wifi connection around is mine. Not able to try the first suggestion.
[Acer Iconia A500] sobertillnoon:
So I guess a different way to ask this is are there any roms out there 3.2 flavoured that do not have the issue?
[Acer Iconia A500] ve6rah:
The stock 3.2 update seems fine to me... of course it also doesn't have root... so there's a tradeoff...
[Acer Iconia A500] sobertillnoon:
And by that you mean there is no way to root 3.2?
[Acer Iconia A500] ve6rah:
Unfortunately that is the case, yes... or more accurately, there is probably a way to do it, but nobody has discovered it yet.
[Acer Iconia A500] sobertillnoon:
Could I get the stock rom and just add the su binary and superuser app to the rom before install?
[Acer Iconia A500] ve6rah:
Maybe, but if you are using the stock recovery installer to put it there it will fail the check and not install (though it might install with CWM or some such)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luukki123:
Hello I recently bought my samsung galaxy gio and i was like "hey I gonna root it" !

The rooting went ok without problems. Then I wanted to switch the Stock ROM to a new one. I tried to go to download mode by pressing home volume and power (or something like that) and BOOM screen goes dark and the phone wont boot up.

The problem is since it's rooted my warranty wont fix it unless they don't know it. So is it possible to wipe everything from the memory or revive it or something. I've been trough many different posts in the forums and haven't found answers. Please help asap.

ps. I'm no gonna solder anything or change parts ect.

THanks :D

pps. my computer can identify the phone but i can't do anything to it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtronics:

try looking on shipped-roms.com they have the orriginal rom for most android devices try putting stock on there and then root again keep the file it will come in handy

But how am i suposed to put the rom back in there when I can't pt my phone to download mode or recoerymod
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeroBoron:
did you removed battery and put it in again?

if you got s-off and your computer can detect it maybe you can flash it again with fastboot. you can download it here with a easy to use interface ;)

[Continuum General] verizonless:
As an initial step towards installing CWM on my SCH i400, I am trying to copy update.zip to the phone's SD card.

The phone's card initially shows up as E: (Verizon Mobile) with 8.63MB total size but 0 free space:

But then, without me doing anything, it changes to E: (Removable Disk) with capacity 0 and 0 free space:

And, if I try to open it, it issues the "Insert disk" message:

What am I doing wrong?

How do I get that SD card to be accessible from my Windows XP?
[Continuum General] ciscogee:
You have to flash with Odin. Put .tar in PDA. Pull battery, put back in. Make sure it doesn't boot. Hold volume -. Plug in USB. Phone should have big yellow triangle on it. Says download mode. And there should be a yellow com23 or 27 or something on Odin. Make sure re-partition is not checked. Hit start. When it says done. Screen goes blank. Hold volume +/- and per. That's stock recovery. Press volume - and menu soft key to run update. Zip which should be on root of SD card.
[Continuum General] verizonless:
Thank you for this summary. However, my problem is that I cannot even begin this procedure without placing the update.zip file in the phone's SD card.

There clearly is a problem with Windows identifying the phone's SD card as "Mass storage" (yes, I made sure the phone's USB settings have "Mass storage" selected").

I am using Samsung's latest & greatest driver provided specifically for this phone (Verizon_Wireless_I400_Continuum_USB_Driver_V1.3.550.0), which I downloaded from here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SCH-I400ZKAVZW

Could that be the driver?

Is there a better driver?
[Continuum General] t1231:
What is the usb setting on your phone set on?

Does anything pop up in your task bar saying usb connected tap to mount?
[Continuum General] verizonless:
"Mass storage" selected" (tried with both "USB debugging" checked and unchecked).

On the phone itself? No.

On Windows XP, I get notifications that the device has been recognized and connected. In my original posting, you can see the snapshots of the result in "My Computer".
[Continuum General] t1231:
Try setting usb on ask on connect, then see if anything pops up in the phones task bar
[Continuum General] verizonless:
OK, I just did that, and I am prompted (on the phone's screen, not a task bar):

Select USB mode
[ Media player ]
[ Mass storage ]

I of course select Mass storage. But now there is no E: drive in Windows. Not even with 0 free space. This is weird.
[Continuum General] t1231:
Alternatively you could put the files on your phone with dropbox, but don't know if that would help you in the long run
[Continuum General] t1231:
Try hitting the back arrow when that comes up, then see if it shows up on the task. If not, I'm out of thoughts at the moment.sorry.
[Continuum General] verizonless:
Nice workaround.

You're right. That's why I need to solve the fundamental problem first.

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

That doesn't help either. But now I discovered that that USB device is reported by XP as "SAMSUN UMS CD-ROM USB Device":

And when I click the "Driver" tab on the same dialog box, the driver is reported as:

Where is the Samsung driver that I installed and worked so nicely when I rooted the device? :confused:

(in fact, I can still see the phone listed in the attached devices list when I type adb devices in the command shell)

I am going to remove that driver:

And install a different one that I found on the web and see what happens.

Update: I did just that, replacing the Verizon_Wireless_I400_Continuum_USB_Driver_V1.3.550.0 driver with a SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones ver. 1.4.2.2 that I found somewhere. Windows now reports a saner identification:

But the problem still persists.

(and the command adb devices continues to work as well).
[Continuum General] verizonless:
OK - I am giving up. I ran out of possible causes and trials, and the only thing I can think of now is that: It shouldn't work at all that way.

Yet, I could swear that I saw DFGGED in that video, dragging and dropping update.zip into E:

How did he do that??? :confused:
[Continuum General] nodixe:
I always see that message untill I mount sd card ftom pull dowm menu and or you could download directly from xda app....

sent from my XDA phone - its more than a continuum
[Continuum General] an-dru:
Nodixie has it right... you have to mount the sdcard in the pulldown menu after plugging it into the computer xP
[Continuum General] verizonless:
Mount? Pull down menu?

On Windows XP I can only see "Format" and "Eject" in the context menu of the "Removable Disk (E:)"

On the phone I have no idea what pull down menu you are referring to.

Please explain.

Plugging what into the computer? The phone? or the card itself?

@ciscogee See the other thread for how grateful I am to you. Thanks to your excellent tutorial (much much better than that YouTube video), I am now running Android 2.2.2. :)

As for the subject matter of this thread, I simply gave up and worked around it by using adb push <filename> /sdcard/<filename> from the command line.
[Continuum General] nodixe:
When you connect to pc on the phone theres should be a usb notification in the pull down menu. You have to push button in notification to begin copying files to pc. This mounts the sd card to the pc. Or you could use adapter/reader and connect to pc directly? Just a thought....

[Continuum General] verizonless:
Got it - Thanks! Whew it took me some time to grasp the terminology but I managed to follow exactly what you describe and now it works. I just didn't realize that one extra (manual!) step is required to enable USB storage visibility to PC.

Had the EVO 4G since release day (best phone ever), and had the 3D for a month and HATED it. What a complete piece of crap that thing is, the sum of its parts can't even compare to the EVO 4G, and it is suppose to be that phone's successor. Any way, since there is no solid next gen HTC offering on Sprint now, I decided to jump ship to Samsung. Really looking forward to this phone, it seems like an amazing piece of technology.

I am rather verbose. I am very honest. I am also painfully fair. Don't be a fanboy. Enjoy your device but be honest with yourself. I am reasonable, with pinpoint accuracy.

Glad to be here. It feels a little strange back on Samsung...especially away from HTC...but the NS4G was a rather (very) pleasant experience and the E3D was most certainly not, novel as it was.
