[LG Optimus 2x] retareq:
I have this and I can get the Nexus S for same price. Only reason I chose this is for the sd card slot. If you don't need an SD card slot get a Nexus instead. After all the Nexus is how its supposed to be, not these manufacturer tainted versions. If all androids were like the nexus in the first place then very few people would have bothered to develop custom roms for it.

In the end you need to pick which camp you want to be in, the nexus camp with smooth sailing or the lg with false update promises and roms that work better on g2x than on o2x.

My friend got a white SGS2 recently and that phone is beautiful. Despite its large screen that phone actually fits in my hand when I sms and doesnt feel like I'm not having a proper grip. Its super thin and super light and truly sexy.

Don't ever buy an LG device.

As standard, I was ready to smash this phone. it was Laggy, overheated, crashed, rumoured Updates never arrived. I'd had enough.

Then I put Topogigi v2.0 on it. It's like having a completely different phone. Smoother, Faster

The Neoblaze Kernel lets you overclock to 1.4Ghz.

I'm finally liking this phone again

Just starting yesterday, when I plug my phone into my computer all it does is charge. No option to mount, no "usb not recognized", nothing. I can get into download mode but Odin doesn't recognize it.

I've searched dozens of other threads, tried most suggestions and can't seem to get anything to work. Suggestions would be appreciated.
[Vibrant General] Jasonhunterx:
Maybe you don't have drivers or bad USB I have 2 one only charges the other does both

Out of 3 galaxy s type devices: 1 doesn't even charge anymore, 1 charges but wont do data and 1 works if the cable is held at an angle. I think samsung can't make usb ports
[Vibrant General] :
I'm just now about to start a post asking how to change roms with out my usb. I had the same problem start months ago. First things where normal. Then, every now and then I would have to re plug the usb cable into the port to get it to mount. Then finally one time it just all together stopped working. I can charge, the charging icon comes up but no mounting options.

On the bright side, this is the first phone I have ever owned that I can just sync over wifi. And at least its not an apple device, if charging stops I can get an external battery charger ; )

[Vibrant General] bobshute:
My vibe is over a year old and I never close the door on the usb port. When I had the same issue as the OP it was a dirty usb port. I carefully cleaned it, which took a few times and it finally worked. Do it with the battery pulled. The loose port is caused from the male end of the original cable not the phone so I bought a new cable and it fits snug.

The testpoint is inside the play. Remove the battery and there's i big white sticker, the testpoint is underneath that. You'll need a wire to put on that.

Take a look at this thread from @Alejandrissimo about unlocking the bootloader when locked out of fastboot (in second post there's a pic of the testpoint):

one more thing in the testpoint. what kind of cable should I attach? Im really confused about that. just getting ready for the process.

Easiest way is to download stuff from market such as beautiful widgets and go launcher. With those two you can download themes and widget packs that are much easier for a new comer to understand than flashing a theme that may break your Rom.

If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmmanKR:
I've read that but like for cool themes it says I for CM7 or for DasBamf and like whars the difference between a rom and a theme x(
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbdysreal:
Roms are the operating systems of the phone, so to speak. Themes make them look how you want. For example, changing all button presses to blue. You need to install a rom, as someone linked a few posts up. Then from there you will have to install the theme. If its a sense based rom and theme (similar to what your phone was stock), then the theme will be flashed through recovery. If it is an AOSP rom and theme (CM7, OMGB) then there is a theme changer included in the apps to easily change themes. I suggest you read the faq's on here and on the other sites to grasp how to flash roms before you tackle themes so you don't get yourself into too much trouble! Good luck.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
haha... I have a feeling you confused him even more.

I find its impossible to explain what a ROM is to someone. Only way for them to understand is to see it and use it with their own eyes.

Well i tried. "A" for effort? haha

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corey@rabbit:
you have 2 options also.

1. find theme you want first then READ THE OP of that theme thread and flash the rom they say its for, then flash theme.

2. find a rom you like the best then find themes that are compatable.

either way your gonna need to get comfortable with flashing items. It may take you a few tries to get the set up that works best for you.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Caligula36:
So im having an issue with the internal microphone staying on with an external mic plugged in. Look down into the headphone jack of your SGS4G. Theres four pins in a staggered arrangement, including the tip contact, that makes five contacts all together. Though the included headphones are still the four contact TRRS type plug.

Now the only diagrams ive found for the pinout of this jack are here in the two diagrams ive found. The pinout for the i9000 shows the mic and ground contacts swapped, and the other for the SGS2 and apparently SGS4G shown with the standard setup with the mic contact as the sleeve. Can anyone confirm this and if there are infact 5 contacts or am i looking at this wrong. This might explain the internal mic staying on.

http://pinoutsguide.com/CellularPhon...t_pinout.shtml

Im using Valhalla 1.3.2, could the ROM be causing the mic to stay on? I found another thread that brought up this possibility:

[G2 and Desire Z General] zhou586w:
JTAG for htc dz is available now by using the RIFF BOX.

Here is the copy of that website:

Resurrecting HTC Desire Z is easy. Phone is auto powered on with USB Data Cable connected to the PC while battery is connected.

Some (or all) revisions of HTC Desire Z boards have JTAG interface disabled (that is enable MARM JTAG Fuse is blown in the MSM7230 chip). In this case the JTAG may be enabled only by firmware itself. This is done by the FSBL loader, so writing to FSBL area is artificially disabled in the DCC Loader code. DCC Loader will discard all flashing attempts into FSBL zone and will respond with success code as if flashing succeeded. In this way FSBL zone is protected while user still can flash full image files seamlessly.

Resurrector will reflash radio’s boot zone (except FSBL area) and will re-write one of selected PDA’s SPL versions (0.76.2000 or 0.85.0005). Additionally to SPL and Radio zones, the zone which contains Model ID is re-flashed too. Thus after resurrection phone will have Model ID = ‘PC1010000’.

There is option to reflash BOOT and RECOVERY zones.

Please note, if your phone has the FSBL loader damaged and MCU has JTAG FUSE blown then there is no way to resurrect your phone via JTAG interface.

---------------

But there is still a question,not all the versions of dz can be fixed in this way. I was wondering whether my phone can be repaired ...:confused:

[HTC Desire S] francocm:
Hi all,

first of all I would like to point out that although I Googled well this topic, I'm finding mixed replies which confused me rather than helped me - and seeing that this device has screwed itself up pretty badly, I do not wish to experiment haphazardly.

So, for the problem:

Around 2 weeks ago, I had S-OFFed and rooted my Desire S by using Revolution. This worked well. I kept my original unbranded firmware, and had no intention of changing nor flashing any different firmware - all I wanted was root access for some apps. No, I haven't taken any backups.

No problems so far, however since my phone was over loaded with apps, I found it easier yesterday to simply do a factory reset (from the menu) and start from scratch than uninstalling each and every app one by one. Nothing illegal :) a simple factory reset which anyone can do.

I thought it went well, however I started having frequent crashes and infinite reboots. The only way out of the infinite reboot was to remove the battery and restart the phone.

Today however, after the Nth time that this happened, my phone stayed loading on the white HTC screen forever. Eventually, seeing tthat his was getting hopeless I opened the bootloader and I got the following error messages:

Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

I tried wiping and formatting the /cache partition from recovery mode. Wiping succeeded however errors remained. Formatting failed.

As it is the phone is just stuck at loading. What do you suggest is the best solution?

Is it possible to go back to stock BL and go back to S-ON?

Oh, and the battery is currently around ~18% and I cannot find a way of recharging it (and I don't know anyone else with a Desire S nor do I have a wall charger).

What do you think the best option is? I'm currently extremely annoyed at this phone as my only offence was of performing a factory reset from the main menu! I bought it new from eBay last May!

Thank you all and sorry for writing so long! :)

Fastboot has functions to flash or erase any partition on the phone...

Thanks all for the replies. As soon as I get home I'll take a look into everything you mentioned. I also want to check whether the warranty is still valid (rooted) since I found online that the Desire can be rooted and warranty remains valid - maybe this is the same. If that's the case, I'll just take it to an authorised HTC dealer and leave it up to them.

Thank you all! :)
