Maybe someone can help me. I have a T-Mo HD2. I sent it in to HTC's repair center, while in repair they damaged it and the Camera/Volume Up no longer function. HTC won't repair it (It's a long story.) Anyway, since I've been fighting with HTC for weeks now, and getting nowhere... What could they have possibly screwed up internally so I can look into replacing it myself?
[HD2 General] Philipp_94:
1. they HAVE to repair it when they damage it

2. in good case the buttons are damaged which you can replace if you disamble the phone

in bad case, they damaged the mainboard, so your hd2 is a brick
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
I agree on that...

I don't agree on this, it could be only main flexboard... or worst case scenario the main flexboard connector on mainboard could be faulty/damaged.
[HD2 General] Johrans:
Agree also on this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsmith01:
My phone is rooted and I'm going to get CWM soon. Once I get that can I flash straight to a Gingerbread rom? Or do I have to update to gingerbread OTA first before I can flash a gingerbread rom? New to android and smartphones in general.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
go into the development section and search for fbis' gb start pack. follow that and you should be good to go

Alright ill go look. Thank ya
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MDavisiw:
So, I have this cig lighter fm transmitter that takes both USB sticks, or 2.5mm input.

this question is for my GF, she enjoys listening to books on tape and I would like to set this thing up for her to use, problem, the infuse has a 3.5mm plug. If i use the phone as a mass storage, it would play songs via the Play buttons and what not, but these are 1.5 hour long tracks sometimes and it does not auto save where you last were. any ideas? The ideal situation would be to use the USB to charge the phone while using some kind of 3.5mm Male to 2.5mm male plug into the infuse phone and have her use her phone to pause, save and play the files. Any ideas?

This is a newer version of what I have, but alot of the same functionality, i can put a usb drive in and play skip and all that fun stuff.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Tomdg07:
maybe you want this? http://www.google.com/products/cata...1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=14042111030896786112# i dont think they make cables with 3.5 on one end, 2.5 on the other but just get the addapter for one end

edit: think i found what you want " Sennheiser 2.5mm Male to 3.5mm Male Audio Cable " (keep in mind all i did to find such a mythical product was a simple google search which i do believe can be done by anybody capable of posting on a fourm) link - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/665652-REG/Sennheiser_531406_2_5mm_Male_to_3_5mm.html
[Samsung Infuse 4G] RepublicanDaddy:
I have one of these nifty little adapters as I had an old phone with a 2.5 mm plugin. They work VERY well and are relatively short when attached to a longer cable. I'd recommend it if you decide it'll solve your issue.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MDavisiw:
Thank you very much for the input and usable links. Not to risk coming off as unappreciative, I should clarify, my question wasn't so much where can I get this equipment I knew the 3.5 - 2.5 existed. It was more along the lines of what is the setup you'd recommend. I suggested in my mind a good or decent setup but was hoping to get ideas if people know of a better way (i.e. some cool feature of the phone im not aware of that lets yo unplug the usb into your phone and then control the radio or transmitter via the phone display).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Are you SURE that thing has a 2.5mm input?

2.5mm stereo inputs are INCREDIBLY rare. As in this would be the first time I've ever seen such a thing.

2.5mm stereo outputs are a lot more common thanks to phones and the fact that it's the standard size for wired headsets.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MDavisiw:
all i know is that the Line out on the phone is 3.5 and I had a 3.5 to 3.5 Male - Male plug that was to large. I may be incorrect but im using process of elimination with a limited scope of knowledge, I dont know of any other plug besides the 2.5 and the 3.5 as far as the headphone style plugs go.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pretiger:
use bluetooth to transmit is a lot easier and clean.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] faslane:
Bingo!! I use my Infuse through my Sony Xplod MTX-3000(?) and it ROCKS! handsfree kicks in when calls come in pausing music/audio of any kind...then resumes when call is disconnected. Another great App I bought for this is PowerAMP....it's got a setting to auto-resume playback when in range so when I start car (phone in pocket) the music starts playing where it left off the previous day (or whenever I was in the car last) I LOVE that feature...don't need to turn on the app or anything, it just "knows"

+1 to Bluetooth suggestion!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Uncle Irish:
^^

your nick reminds me of Urban Dance Squad for some reason lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MDavisiw:
Thanks for the responses, I think adding Bluetooth to the stereo or getting a whole new stereo might not be a suitable suggestion at this point (unless its not faux pas to get her an anniversary/birthday present at the same time when they are 2 months apart :) ).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xdahgary:
New car also works. ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bronk93:
For sure! A new car is the obvious choice.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MDavisiw:
So, an update!!

I am getting her a SD/USB/Aux Input (3.5mm) car stereo for our anniversary. I have been reading some forums that talk of plugging the phone into the stereo Via USB, then "Mounting the SD" and playing the files that way after doing some sort of debug mode.

Anyone ever tried this? apparently the stereo would read music off the SD loaded in the phone, or some said that you can control it Via the phone controls.

No BT unfortunately :(

Here is the thread i am referencing, it is another forum sorry if this is against the rules.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
if you already have a 3.5 AUX why are you trying to mount the SD card. all you have to do is just play it through your music player.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
Three little words: Steering Wheel Control. Can get that with a headunit that reads the SD directly.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Tomdg07:
Most

steering wheel controls dont work with after-market headunits.

edit: however if they do still work, they wont with a 3.5mm aux input.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
You need to get out more or get a new installer place. Most DO with a simple PAC controller (http://www.pac-audio.com/SWI/)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
meh, i have a bluetooth... and it wont stream... but it does with my HD2... whatever.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MDavisiw:
id like to minimize the wires if possible.. just run the audio to the radio + get a charge from it. Plus I hear you tend to get better sound from USB rather than the 3.5.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Tomdg07:
Meh... I haven't messed with car audio in the last 2 years maybe stuff has changed, didn't check out the source but ill take your word for it (the buttons on my current cars wheels are only for cruise control so I have no current concern)

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisguyneil:
ok, I've looked everywhere else but I haven't been able to find the answer. My friend was trying to put gingerbread on his atrix 4g (att) and the battery died halfway through. Now we borrowed a charged battery from a friend and now when ever we turn it on it says

SVF 105:1:2

failed to boot 0x1000

then waits a few seconds then flashes "starting hv flash recovery" then turns off. The hv part might be wrong. But no matter what I press the device will not go into usb bootloader for me to put a new sbf on :mad:

any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time

if you can only get into NVFlash mode, then i'm pretty sure that you're not gonna be able to fix it. i don't believe we have the nvidia flashing tools needed to get past this option.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisguyneil:
so what your telling me, is that under no circumstance, at all. there is no way to ever fix this phone. ever, in a million years. there is no way to force the phone into bootloader?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ltdanno360:
yea you need to charge the battery outside the phone then check the dev section there is a program just fir your situation!

A soft brick, in this case, is when you make a bad edit to your framework files and the phone won't fully boot and starts flashing a red LED at you.

There is one catch, you only get about 1-2min to do all of this before the phone reboots on its own. If that happens, do SuperOneClick steps again and continue where you left off. Better yet, build a script to do it all for you ￼

Power off your device

Enter Fastboot:

Hold Volume down + power until you see Fastboot at the top left

Use volume down to scroll down to "Early USB Enumeration" (only shows one item at a time, if you pass it, keep going down, up selects)

Press Volume up to select

Wait for ADB to enable, run "Shell Root" from SuperOneClick, wait until it says you have root.

Enter adb shell from command line, You should have root(#) access:

adb shell

Mount the system directory as read/write:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system

Make a new directory on /data for your recovery files: (sdcard wont be mounted yet)

mkdir /data/recover

Exit adb shell:

exit

Push your known working files to the new directory:

adb push /path/to/local/file.ext /data/recovery

Enter adb shell from command line:

adb shell

Copy your newly pushed recovery files to their proper location:

cp /data/recover/services.jar /system/framework

cp /data/recover/framework.jar /system/framework

cp /data/recover/famework-res.apk /system/framework

Reboot:

reboot now

[Windows 8 General] Floods7:
This has probably been addressed but here goes....

I partitioned a drive for W8, called it drive P. Loaded W8 and ran it, worked nicely and wanted to go install gag. Once I installed gag I ran W8 again and it worked ok again. Then I wanted to use my W7 and tried to get to it, and for some reason I have to go through the Windows bootloader. Where you get a dos style screen and have to choose between W7 or W8 (keep in mind this is after you make your selection using gag), I choose W7. It got stuck on the loading screen (the one where it ways "windows 7" below the windows icon. Had to turn off my comp cause it wouldn't get past that screen.

Then I went into W8, which loaded fine and opened the disk management. It said that my main hard drive partition which has W7 and all of my files on it was completely empty and no longer named the "C" drive. Now my drive with W8 was called the "C" drive.

So I ran uninstalled/reinstalled GAG and somehow I got back to W7 with all of my files there.

But im afraid to run W8 again since I feel like W8 needs to run on the C drive, and im worried I might actually lose my real C drive.

Can someone explain what is going on with my comp, and a safe way to boot between the two OS'?
[Windows 8 General] reeg420:
Its built into windows 8.

This is what I did.

Used disk management within windows 7 to shrink the partition its currently on. Shrunk it 50g.

Now you will have an unformatted partition. Use mini partition tool to format to ntfs. Also assign the partition a drive letter. I used W.

Now use magic disc to mount the windows 8 ISO to the virtual drive.

Don't run setup. Open the drive so you can see the contents of the ISO.

Now in the sources folder run the setup.exe, Not the one on the root of the ISO.

Setup will start. Install windows 8 to the partition you just made.

Let windows 8 complete setup and get all the way to the desktop or metro UI.

Restart your computer.

During the loading you will come across a screen that allows you to choose the OS. Now by default it times out at 5 seconds. At the bottom of the screen you'll see choose default OS and other settings. Click that within 5 seconds.

Change that to whatever you want. I changed mine to 30 seconds to give me enough time.

I had a similar issue when cloning my drive to an external to take with me using pwboot. Windows 8 would load fine but windows 7 wouldn't. But worked just fine on my internal drive. Mostly just use my external to use my old gateway with a broken internal hdd. Seriously hard to find an old school 2.5" IDE hdd. But windows 8 couldn't install my video card driver for s-video out so I stuck with just windows 7 on my external and never figured out the problem. Dual booting on my aspire one works like a champ though.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Triskite:
If you're impatient like me, here's a DIY $13 mod I did to make the extended battery wireless charging enabled. Presumably works on all charging mats as the whole idea behind Qi is a universal standard.

http://uselesspuzzles.blogspot.com/2011/09/droid-bionic-optimizations-extended-bat.html

Photos and videos at the bottom of the post.

Here's the main video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR7egtQl-Zg

I moved the coil a little bit so the connection was more secure after the video. Works without issue.

I bought like 5 touchstones so I can have one in my home office, office office, bedroom, living room, etc.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] slvrdrgn123:
Do you know if the touchstone works with the VZW inductive charging back for the standard battery?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Triskite:
honestly i havent really read into the different technologies used... so no idea

my guess is if it did work it would probably not be as good an experience as the magnets are probably not placed in the same alignment (so the phone won't know exactly where to attach giving a sub-optimal placement)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] snael:
Wow

Looks pretty nice, I happened to have the soldering supplies and wire might do this myself. How is the charging time as I can't find the output for the touchstones anywhere. Would you still recommend it after having it for a while now?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Triskite:
nah don't do it

it has to be perfectly aligned to charge properly- from what i've read the real bionic backplate works even through cases-

i'd say wait for a better version that is less finicky

or make one with the bionic reg. battery wireless charging door like i plan to ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] quentin0:
I'd like that. I tried my bionic with the inductive charging door on the touchstone, and I couldn't get it to work, so this mod would be great. I hate the LG charging mat for the bionic

Do you know if this was a tight squeeze in the extended battery door? Also, does this mean you cannot take the door off anymore?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] docluv01:
Hey guys, i know older post...has anyone done this with the reg battery?

If so, what kind of chargign times are u getting? ALso, are u usign the Palm mat or some other mat.

My intention is to use this with teh standard battery, and battery cover, so i can still use gel case
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
i'm still waiting for the long promised true wireless charging where the same towers that supply us our signal also charge our phones.

it's barbaric that we're still having to plug in somewhere to charge. what century is this anyway !!?!?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tragicremedy:
Specially since Tesla had this idea a longgggg time ago. :D Sure would be nice...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] vegabyson:
Very nice
[Motorola Droid Bionic] csimme01:
I did this using the stock charging cover for the bionic.

It works perfect but you need a Qi compatible pad. After searching I found one on ebay for 35 bucks. The only problem is it makes removing the battery difficult. My next project is to see if I can make the mod so it works just like the production cover.

[LG Thrill 4G] powers.jereme:
When i type the dd if=/data/recovery.img of=/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096 to flash over the clockworkmod, into my command promt it says 'cannot open for read: No such file or directory' and i dont know what im doing wrong.

I mean everything else seemed to workout fine. i downloaded the recovery image it said to save it but it was already saved to my computer after i downloaded it so i dont know if this could be the problem.

Then i used the adb push recovery.img/data command to push the recovery image to my phone, i think this might be where i messed up. After i put in the command a long list of text pops up on the command prompt. It starts out showing 'Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.26' then is followed by a long list of adb commands. Idk know if this is what its supposed to show.

Next i did the adb shell, su, dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.backup bs=4096 command and that worked fine it said 2560+0 records out, 2560+0 records in 10485760 bites transfered in 0.413 secs and i actually found that file on my sdcard. So i think i did that right.

Next i tried to use the command 'dd if=/data/recovery.img of=/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096' and like i said earlier it just says 'cannot open for read: No such file or directory'

Lastly i tried the rm /data/recovery.img command and it said rm failed for /data/recovery.img, No such file or directory in the command prompt.

Im sorry i am new at this but i thought i followed the directions perfectly and any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
First off, before someone else says it, you shouldn't start a new thread for something we already have a topic for. But anyways,

Sounds to me like recovery.img never got pushed to /data. Not sure if its a typo in your post but 'adb push recover.img/data' should be 'adb push recovery.img /data'. The space is important. On your phone use a root file explorer and go to your /data partition and see if recovery.img is there. You may need to either change permissions for /data or just put recovery.img on your sdcard and move it to /data with a root explorer.
[LG Thrill 4G] powers.jereme:
Well im sorry im new to this kind of thing, i didnt want to make anyone mad i just wanted some help and i apologize if ive ticked somone off. How would i change the permissions for the data? And could you tell me how to use the root explorer to put the recovery image in the right place? Again i appreciate any help you can offer.
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
Is recover.img in the same folder as adb? Because the instructions assume your recovery.img is in the same folder you are working from. So if you have to cd to your adb folder to use adb then recovery.img should be in that folder as well. Look at your cmd window, whatever directory/ folder it says you are in that is where you should put recovery.img.

If you saw a bunch of commands it means the .img did not go through your command did not work. You dont have the recovery.img in /data either put the file on your sdcard and use a root explorer to move it to /data or try the adb push again, you most likely made a typo or something.

You would put recovery.img on your sdcard through your computer. Open root explorer and navigate to your sdcard, long press on the recovery.img select move, go to/ data on the root of the phone, not the one on either sdcard it MUST be /data not /mnt/sdcard/data or anything like that once there paste file to /data and finish up in adb shell.
[LG Thrill 4G] powers.jereme:
Alright i copied the recovery image to the /data folder and finished up in command prompt and everything worked out like it was supposed to. what was i supposed to do next to put it into cwm recovery mode? I held power, volume down, 3d button but i just went into normal recovery mode. then i went to rom manager to try and put it into cwm recovery that way but it just rebooted my phone. And when i went back into the /data folder i couldnt find the recovery image there anymore and i did a search on my root explorer and couldnt find it anywhere.
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
Hold vol down + 3D + power when lg logo appears release power but keep vol down +3D held down until recovery pops up. If you still don't boot into cwm try flashing recovery.img again. Do NOT use rom manager at all to install cwm on this phone.
[LG Thrill 4G] powers.jereme:
Well ive tried to take the recovery image from the sd card to the /data folder but when i run 'rm /data/recovery.img' on the command prompt then reboot my phone, i turn it off then try and put it in recovery mode but its just regular recovery mode not cwm recovery mode. And everytime i run the 'rm /data/recovery.img' when my phone boots back up the recovery image is no longer in the /data folder or anywhere. But if i dont run the 'rm /data/recovery.img' after moving the recovery image to the /data folder it stays in the folder. Is it supposed to dissapear from the /data folder?

And i tried putting the recovery image in the same folder as abd which is the platform tools folder then flash it over and i got the same message. (cannot open for read: No such file or directory.)

Im sorry for all the questions and I am thankful for your help. I feel like i cant be the only person having this problem, well i hope im not that would make me feel really stupid. Thanks.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
rm is the command to remove. So yes, recovery.img is supposed to disappear after that command. Put it back on /data and run the whole process from the CWM thread again making sure you do every step. Sounds like you may have accidentally skipped a step.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Double post.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Ugh...keep selecting quote instead of edit on Tapatalk...Triple post...
[LG Thrill 4G] powers.jereme:
Alright ill try that again, so i should put the file back on the /data folder and then still do the step where you try to flash over cwm from the cwm thread, even though its already there? Thanks
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Yea just do it all again. Worst case is you flash cwm back over cwm :P
