[Samsung Mesmerize] automaddux:
first off, hats off to the entire xda community for all your hard work and dedication. I learned how to root my Dinc from these forums and been obsessed ever since.

that said, I decided to help a friend out at work with her Sammy Mesmerize. It took a lot of doing nothing at work 'cept for playing with her phone, and looking at different forums, to finally root the thing. Now I have CWM installed and it shows all the normal stuff but when I try to run a nandroid backup it says "cannot backup boot image" and terminates the process. Is there something I can do because I'm a noob and out of ideas at this point. I'm not gonna pull a Barney Fife and try to flash a ROM without it so I need some help plz. Thanks in advance

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydrarulz:
Hello,

The short story is that I have a Samsung Galaxy S. I wanted to install some new firmware ( and because Kies bricked my phone a few months ago ) with Odin.

There was a guide somewhere where they did a full factory reset with

*2767*3855#

After I entered the code I could not connect to the network anymore. And cannot make any phone calls or receive them.

I am in Romania, using Vodafone.

I also tried

*#272*[my IMEI]# and selected CNX and after it reboots it asks me if I'm using Prepay or Postpay. I chose Postpay and still nothing.

If I search for networks it finds all of them but I still cannot connect to any.

I entered *#0011# and this is what I get

Tell me what I can try right now, or what information you need more from me.

Usually this means that there is something wrong with your APN settings, like they were erased.

Check out your APN settings and make sure they match what your carrier needs. If they aren't right or missing then you will indeed have network issues...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydrarulz:
ccrows : the APN settings seem to be fine. As far as I know the APN are for data networking ( internet ) and before if I had no APN set I could still call people.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhu1:
Reset your apn settings!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydrarulz:
I tried this but I cannot connect to the Vodafone network first!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
Your APN has nothing to do about whether you can call or not, it controls your data. You could have an empty APN and still make calls.

I really think something in your APN is messed up, but its kinda hard to tell without seeing the phone. Your symptoms do point to the APN.

The only other thing it could be is a bad modem flash. If you are sure that your APN is fine try flashing a different compatible modem in Odin again...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydrarulz:
I deleted all the APNs and I know that the network worked fine like this.

I will try flashing with a firmware that I know worked before and see what happens.

The wierd thing is that the problem appeared after I entered the factory reset code, not after flashing it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
Hopefully the flash will work since it should take care of the modem issue that I was talking about in my previous post.

Best of luck... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydrarulz:
I've tried flashing it with a few firmwares and nothing works, the error is the same.

Do you know what could have been affected by the full factory reset ?

Do you want some more info that could help you identify the problem ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydrarulz:
I went to a mobile service and they said they don't know what to do to it.

They tried to unlock the network and this is not the problem.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntoineDon:
hi there, i've searched and searched and cannot for the life of me find any stock roms or anything for the telus fascinate it probably doesn't help that I don't know what the build number is... I flashed a verizon vibrant rom quite a while ago and don't remember my methods of doing so, I've read that it's going to be a huge PITA to get it back to stock, especially because I can't seem to get it into ^&%^*% recovery mode or even get it to connect to my pc.. so any help in that regard will also be MUCH appreciated

THANK YOU in advance.. I hope!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntoineDon:
Alright so i managed to find an all in one zip file in a tutorial post obvs i didn't look hard enough lol!

So that just leaves me with the more important predicament. I can't get my phone into recovery mode to flash with odin and my pc won't connect to the pc at all.. I read somewhere that my phone is soft-bricked???? Because of using a vibrant Rom? Any input is greatly appreciated once again

P.s can a mod change the title? Or can i? Because its slightly irrelevant to the post now

coincidentally this is also the exact procedure i followed when I rooted and flashed.

so a little more information for you.

sorry about the reply taking forever i couldn't find the post on my phone and haven't had much time to sit on the computer
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japots:
Says your phone model is GT i9000 so you probably flashed a gti9000 rom (Bell Vibrant / international Galaxy S).

Anyway... you need to be in "download mode" to flash via odin. I think you meant phone to pc, but were you able to connect your phone to the pc before? Do you have the correct drivers installed?

You know you're in soft-bricked if when you turn on the phone, you get a picture of a phone to pc with a ! in between. This can be fixed by a USB jig, or for some, just doing the download mode button combination while your battery is out and your usb is plugged into the computer.

What rom did you install exactly?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntoineDon:
Yes i realise that i suppose that's what i meant but odin doesn't pick up my phone and my pc won't either. I used to be able to connect yes but now it won't I have the drivers downloaded i havent had the chance to try a different cord but this is the same cord i used to flash, so im pretty sure that's not the problem.

I guess its not soft bricked then i haven't seen anything like what you have described,

The Rom im using is called EXTRAordinary Rom or something like that ill try and find a link for you

If you have gotten your phone into download mode and your pc isn't recognizing it, you should; 1 - try a different pc, 2 - try a different cable or 3 - try both. Are you still able to get it into download mode?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntoineDon:
Ughh I've tried every computer in my house, 3 laptops and one desktop...

My personal laptop is the only one it worked on previously, it now doesn't work, and I only have the original cable i did the flashing with originally, but i'll yoink a cable from work tomorrow do test that out, although I am seriously doubting it would work... my widgets have recently stopped working as well, they say "problem loading widget" I'm pretty scared by this point and feel as though my phone is sloooowly hardening into a useless brick. i'll update tomorrow, when I get a new cable.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntoineDon:
um also, I've posted this question in a different thread but have yet to be answered, why can't I find the telus usb drivers anywhere? they don't have it on samsung's website,,, i haven't installed any drivers since the original flashing and have no clue as to where to find them... as far as I could remember it was ridiculously easy to find them last time....

Thanks in advance,

[TouchPad General] Nomedias:
Hey all,

I recently had an accident with my 32GB Touchpad I managed to recover from, so I thought I'd share the story for the benefit of anyone else who encounters the same issue. That said, if you do have this problem, proceed at your own risk. I am not advising you to do anything I did below, rather I am sharing my own experience.

Basically it got dropped around 6-8 feet down a carpeted stairwell. It appeared to land on the side edge with the volume button. To my surprise, the screen wasn't cracked and the buttons responded, but it wouldn't respond to touch.

First, I know this isn't covered by the warranty. [SOAPBOX] Of course, one could just lie to tech support and possibly get it covered, but that isn't how I roll. I've gotten by well in life by being straight with tech support but not taking any bs, not gonna change now.[/SOAPBOX] So, I did a live chat with tech support just to see what it would cost. Short answer, $238 for a tablet I paid $150 for. So no, I decided that if I couldn't fix it myself I'd part it out to others with broken displays etc, or give it to a dev. If I got any money for it, I'd buy an actual android pad. :)

Once again, PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK! I take no responsibility if you damage or brick your device.

Past experience told me that most likely a connector inside was the culprit. I search the forums and interwebs for dissembly instructions. I couldn't find any good ones, but managed to figure it out from the following two links;

http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/environment/productdata/Countries/_MultiCountry/disassembly_handhe_2011617223529.pdf

http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/cracking-open-the-hp-touchpad/6253940?seq=8&tag=thumbnail-view-selector;get-photo-roto

If anyone knows a good dissasembly tutorial i missed on youtube or elsewhere, please post it. Anyway, I found the ribbon cables from the panel were indeed partially pulled from their connectors (see attached ribbon 1.jpg). Flipping up the black covers (see attached ribbon 2.jpg) I was able to reposition it and flipped the covers back down.

After a bit of trouble reassembling it (due to my being rough with the side catches around the bezel), my Touchpad is back to its former self, not counting a few scuffs in the plastic around the bezel from by hamfisted work. I'm happy, and my wife is happy I'm not eyeing the Touchpad I just gave her for her birthday ;). I hope someone benefits from this post, as I've benefited from others' posts here. Just trying to give back.
[TouchPad General] a40dayflud818:
interesting read. Knowing what you know now, how long would think the whole process would take?
[TouchPad General] Nomedias:
No more than 15 minutes. Of course, I'd try to find a better tool like the one pictured in the linked PDF in my post above. Just gotta be sure the catches around the bezel are free so as not to pull up them up as you lift the lcd panel. They're actually separate pieces of plastic, not part of the bottom mold. One had slide out from under one of the PCBs. I had to remove a few screws to lift said PCB to reposition the catch, otherwise the panel wouldn't snap back in fully.

[TouchPad General] nateboi81:
I definitely give the thumbs up with that tutorial. Very good. A pocket knife blade was my tool of choice to take the cover off! ;)
[TouchPad General] macwindows:
Thanks for the tutorial.

Sorry to revive the old thread. However, my touchpad is not responding to touch, everything else is functional (it boots perfect and able to update using JC toolbox to latest 4.4.4).

I tried to plug unplug the video connector few times (after disassembling) but still it does not respond to touch. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

[TouchPad General] Nomedias:
Do you still have WebOS or a touch enabled recovery installed? That could help determine if the problem is more likely hardware or software. If it is hardware you have already done what I could do.
[TouchPad General] macwindows:
I have completely wiped the system and removed the WebOS by using JC toolbox. However, I do have touch recovery and while booting in recovery also have problem for touch(does not respond to touch, can select using volume up/down and home button). Does it mean touch screen is now defective? Can it be replaced and is it worth try? Appreciate your input.

Thanks
[TouchPad General] Nomedias:
I would agree it sounds like either the digitizer or control board may be bad. I don't know enough to say more though. As for if it is worth it, do a search on eBay. Used Touchpads sell for under $100. New for around twice that. Nonfunctional units sell for under $50. Maybe you get lucky and can buy one with a working digitizer. If it were me, I would buy a functioning used Touchpad and sell the bad one. Or keep it for spare parts. With current more powerful 10" tablets selling new for $300-500, I'd be careful not to put too much into it.

Good luck!
[TouchPad General] ranjib:
I couldn'd find any "more powerful" tablets with 32GB ram and wireless charging. Do you know some? I bought a used touchpad then.
[TouchPad General] Nomedias:
You got me on wireless charging. ☺ Not counting that I was thinking of a Nexus 9 or 10, or a Galaxy Tab. A Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1" 16GB goes for $320. It has a microSD slot and an Exynos 5 Octa CPU.

[HTC EVO 3D] tersey:
Hey guys I really need some help and knowledge, there were other posts similar but none pertaining to the evo 3d.

I flashed virtuous shooter rom a month ago and then today my phone just shut off and wouldnt boot. I tried to recover using cwm and that still wouldnt boot, so I proceeded to reflash the rom clearing cache, dalvik, and resetting then flashing the rom and update in the proper order. My phone wouldnt boot so I pulled the battery and tried again.

The result is that my evo 3d is now stuck in bootloop and I can't get into recovery to flash a stock rom and a nandroid backup.

Any suggestions? is there any way for me to have a hard reset done to my phone? Its s-off so my warranty is void and not being able to get into recovery means i cant even get it back to s-on and unroot.

all help would be greatly appreciated. I had my xperia x10 run over by a transport truck and i just dropped $600 on this phone a month ago to have it now be useless for no apparent reason... I am pretty upset to say the least.

Thanks for your time!

when you access the phone via "phone" (winderz) its painfully slow, locks up the phone while you are transfering stuff, and limits you in what you can do.

This is my first android phone (had too many to count) where it didn't ask if I wanted to mount usb storage device. Instead I have to go settings-->wireless and network-->usb utilities-->press button-->plug in cable-->press next button on screen with android guy.

There has got to be an easier way???

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
You guys aren't understanding. If it doesn't show up as a drive on your computer then you are limited as to what you can do with it AND in my case when I copy, paste, delete or do ANYTHING to the phone memory the phone locks me out and says its syncing or something. It becomes a paperweight until whatever I did is finished, and in the case of transfering 15gigs of music this is unacceptable. Especially at the speeds this runs when not mounted.

On the 5 or so other android phones I've had I got this screen as soon as I plugged into any computer

On this phone I have to do the following to see that screen:

settings-->wireless and network-->usb utilities-->press button-->plug in cable
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Enable USB debugging then and use the notification bar to do that.

I'm running the lastest CM7 nightly but I've had this problem for quite some time. I've been looking around for information on where the microphone settings are in android and I never found the exact answer. My microphone is so sensitive that when I'm on the phone, people often tell me that the people speaking in the background practically sound as loud as if they were speaking into the phone itself. I need to lower the sensitivity of the mic on a call so that I don't rape my peer's ears with the ridiculously loud ambient noise.

I noticed that samsung phones have a hidden service menu where you can alter mic settings, but I couldn't find one for HTC (don't think they even have one with mic settings). From what I can gather, there was a similar issue with the Desire HD and an edit to the /etc/AdieHWCodec.csv fixed their sensitivity problem. I open AdieHWCodec on my G2 and I have no idea where to start lol. Any ideas?

For the record, the stock AdieHWCodec.csv and the one included in CM7 are identical.

Hi guys,

I just flashed to KI4 today with no problems. I rooted it following the CF instructions. No problems there either. Practically everything is working perfectly. There's just one annoying problem: I can't rearrange apps in the drawer (at least not permanently). What I mean is that I would spend a couple minutes on rearranging, only to find out in a couple more minutes the apps move around by themselves. What I've noticed is that they go back to the pages that they used to be on before I flashed. I'm not sure but I am suspecting the "restore all system data" option I used to be the culprit. I hope that makes sense and subsequently you guys will be able to help me out with this. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
