[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chzeckmate:
Resolved

Okay, I have news but first I just want to say that I did consider the battery and I put a fresh one with 100% charge into it before proceeding with any attempts to restore it. Second, I want to mention that I did not attempt a hardware reset because I already know there isn't a magic button. I have had these things apart and I know (at least on all the Epics I've had my hands on) that it's a myth but I should say in situations like this all help is welcomed and appreciated.

Upon consideration kennyglass123's appraisal of the situation, I did a visual inspection and by appearance it seemed likely that his initial assessment was correct (there was an appearance of a dark brassy color on components that should be clean silver).

Having had no other experience dealing with the service center I followed the advice of flastnoles11, ÜBER™ and Eins7ein. I sent my wife to the service center today telling the basic story and they took the device in for evaluation telling her to return in an hour and a half. When she returned they had a replacement waiting for her and stated that the device could not be serviced.

There was no charge and no insurance claim required and she said the entire experience was very pleasant. She'll be arriving home late tonight but when she gets here I'll get to have some fun customizing it. She's very happy now... I won't go into it too much but I gave her an LG Viper as a temporary replacement and she was totally repulsed by it.

Anyway big thanks to everybody, you guys were totally right. The wife is in better spirits and I'm not so leery of the service center anymore. All is well and I am pleased.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Awesome I'm glad that everything worked out for you. Maybe this will help others to see that not all sprint service centers are bad (although some are pretty bad I will admit). Have fun!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powwie:
Hey guys, my HD2 touchscreen has basically become unresponsive. I used to be able to take the battery out a couple of times until it worked again but that doesn't seem to be able to work any more. The Phone still works as the hard buttons work and I'm getting messages and phone calls but I basically can't use the touch features. I was wondering if anyone had a way I could read my messages or back them up to my pc without having to use the screen? I have a couple unread ones that are pretty important that I don't want to lose by hard resetting or before I send my phone back. Any suggestions about the screen or the messages would be massively appreciated. Cheers guys.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
try using MyMobiler to connect HD2 to PC/notebook, run MyMobiler & you will get screen displayed on pc & can control it via PC hardware. "MyMobiler" link is in my signature. Only problem I see is if your HD2 USB connection option is not Activesync you may not get this to work

As for backup best tool is SPB Backup or free but not so complete option is PIM Backup
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powwie:
Ok thanks for that, unfortunately I didn't have my phone on activesync so I've done a hard reset and it will be sent back tomorrow to resolve the screen issue. Thanks for your help anyway :)

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wyattyoss:
I just got an eris, it was rooted, and I restored to stock android 2.1. I went to freshly root it and load cm7 on it, when I realized my trackball doesn't work. So I had to battery pull my way out of recovery. Is there any way to root withouy a trackball? Thanks in advance
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CondemnedSoul:
Here is a link to scary aliens thread on Android Forums. Click the link and scroll down post 1 to scenario 5. Download the modded apk he made of jcase's 1-click root apk that installs the track ball optional version of amon ra recovery. With this recovery you can navigate through your options and flash roms without using the trackball. You also don't need to use the trackball to root with it. Just install like an app (make sure to allow installing apps from unknown sources in settings>applications) and follow the directions in the threads. You'll be rooted and running CM in no time.

[TouchPad General] r00tb33r:
Hi, I'm having the same error when I try to doctor my TouchPad, although I haven't installed CM7 or messed with my unit in any way, it came with this problem out of the box.

So I try to do the same thing you did, I tried to format the log volume using developer mode console as well as the available console after failed doctoring. Both ways it claims to format successfully, but still gives "Invalid Argument" error when I try to mount the volume. I tried checking the filesystem on the volume, I get an error suggesting "zero size partition", although lvscan says that the log volume is 64MB. I can't remove any volumes or volume group from lvm either, it says it does it but I scan it again and its still there. Basically any changes I try to make are not persistent.

What do I do to fix this?
[TouchPad General] hyperfire21:
My touchpad seems to be in read only mode. Not able to webos doctor properly because of it. Cant reinstall cyanogenmod either. I have access to webos recovery and clockwork mod. Any command to get write access back?
[TouchPad General] r00tb33r:
After 5 frustrating evenings alternating between charging and linux shell of the nova boot image trying to wipe partitions and partition table to be able to doctor again, I did not succeed. It simply won't write anything, including the block device of the flash. Because I didn't have cyanogenmod installed or anything other than WebOS, I did not void my warranty, so I sent it to HP, because it would not update or doctor to 3.0.4 . It arrived at the El Paso, TX facility on Friday, should have it (or the replacement) back by the end of the week.

Look in this thread for the outcome, when HP sends me back my TouchPad:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1326004&page=2
[TouchPad General] TheSilverRing:
I put my touchpad into a similar state, although mine did not end up with the 2 segments. I wiped my partition 14 with dd, sort of deliberately. I was investigating a native openembedded linux build but got wrapped around the axle with the uImage boot cmd line. Anyway, I got tired of using lvm as the kernel cmd line becomes more complex. So when I was putting things back I did the same lvm.static commands and pretty much what the OP did here, I have 2 touchpads so I copied the LVM structure from the golden one, it was the same as listed here.

There are a couple of things that might help someone that were not mentioned -

When booting you may see an error like:

mount: mounting /dev/mapper/store-var on /var failed: Invalid argument

mount: mounting /dev/mapper/store-log on /var/log failed: Invalid argument

What you need to do is format store-var and store-log like the OP said.

However, you will also need to create some mount points in var too, as per the fstab:

mkfs.ext3 /dev/mapper/store-var

mkfs.ext3 /dev/mapper/store-log

mount -a

mkdir /var/log

mkdir /var/tmp

mkdir /var/run

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

what do you mean by read-only mode?

mount -o remount, rw /

replace '/' with whatever mount point your want Read/Write, you didn't really make clear what you meant by read-only.

Look at the fstab above, the lines with 'ro' , in them specifically the root, will be mounted read only.

If the file system has errors the os will mount it read only too - fsck the partition to fix it.

Could you post something about the error such as the novaterm command you are trying to execute as well as the output from 'mount'
[TouchPad General] r00tb33r:
I will mention my case for the record, my TouchPad had a problem writing to the flash, like the partition table writing failed, formatting filesystems failed, wiring to block device failed with I/O errors.

HP replaced components inside my TouchPad to solve the problem. If you have not voided the warranty on your device and your flash fails to write, you have a hardware problem, and should have HP service it at no cost to you.

Please try all the software repair methods posted in these threads before blaming the hardware though!!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jm1280:
This is weird but I can't seem to figure it out. I have a rooted S2 CWM, CM7 and I am trying to pull wakelocks using adb. Now I used adb last week but now for some reason Windows 7 64x will not recognize my phone. I've re-installed the official driver from Samsung, uninstalled Kies and re-installed, rebooted, re-installed Android SDK...nothing seems to work. Not sure what else to do. I can put it in USB mode and it works but just straight plugging the phone up doesn't work. Turning on USB debugging does nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
Only thing I can tell you is keep trying to uninstall the driver and re installing it until it works - if you have ever considered using LINUX such as dual booting it or installing it on an older machine you have setting around this is one good reason to take that step, you will not likely ever have any trouble getting LINUX to recognize your phone.

Adb works great, and LINUX is the native development platform form Android.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jm1280:
I've tried that a couple of times. I do have a laptop at home with Ubuntu so maybe I'll just hook it up to get the information. Just not sure why this won't work when it was yesterday.

I do know cars, but british car shows ( no disrespect, but... ) are crap. So i dont watch them.
[Off-topic] Archer:
Lol.

The

most popular car show in the world is based on an original British format. Basically, you don't like them, which is not the same as them being crap. :rolleyes:
[Off-topic] oradul:
I dont know about that.

Them being crap is my own opinion, otherwise i would have said that it is thought so. Crap maybe too strong of a word to describe it. They are just not that proffesional or know cars well enough. I am no google about cars myself, but even for a tv show to know every single thing about all cars and give a true review without self oppinion, is impossible.

Thats why i dont watch car shows like top/fifth gear ( and the likes of ), but rather learn what i can about the cars that interest me.

All i wanted to do is change the size and font of my phone due to some vision impairment but i immediately regretted doing it, anyways i followed the steps to unroot by downloading the stock rom and putting it in my sd card booting up the boot loader and it doesn't install it.

my phone still has S-ON and clockworkmod, i guess i missed a few steps in the process can anybody guide me through this please, do i need to get s-off before this? if so how? I followed some youtube videos on how to get S-OFF but for some reason i can't get it to do so through cmd prompt.

When i reboot it just shows the HTC logo.

well i will basically be moving from the galaxy tab 7

read around a little and sorry i ask questions already been asked but i have to decide by tomorrow to conferm the deal..

1. wanted to know if it can be used to make calls now and or with icecream sandwich.

i guess for custom roms will take my time and read a little more... but more important was the calling and sms feature

thanks in advance...

But yeah, it works.

My non-rooted phone was having trouble with the audio. Verizon sent me a new phone. I then rooted my 'old' Motorola Droid 3 using Pete's Motorola Root Tools. Worked great. I did a full backup.

I now have the new phone. I rooted it successfully. I tried to run the "Pete's Motorola Root Tools.exe" (which I also used to root the phone). I click on the "restore my /system/app" button on the window on my computer. I get an error:

ERROR: /restore/ backup doesn't exist or is incomplete!

These files must be downloaded and saved to your computer in a /restore/ subfolder

You can download the /system/app/ files you need here:

Version 5.5.959: download here

Version 5.6.890: download here

when it says 'download here', there is no link.

How do I get past this error and successfully restore my new phone?
[Motorola Droid 3] Baconstrip:

What did you make your backup with? Restore /system/app just restores the stock apps ie any bloat you've removed. If you're trying to backup one phone in order to restore it to the new one you need to use CWrecovery

[Networking] OJ in Compton:
Good god that 4G LTE logo is ugly.

edit:for the record, I don't like verizon's either.
[Networking] nate2569:
Come on. You mean to tell me that the Verizon "Data Card" bownloading at 50Mbps beats a phone downloading at 40Mbps. Look at the upload. Nowhere even close. NYC has DAS units all over. I'm not on NYC and you can't argue the upload. I can find a spot to show 50 if you want but I just did a random test and got these results. Just thought I'd share. Again. This is on a phone. Not a dedicated data card.
[Networking] OJ in Compton:
Regardless of which is better or not, I'm glad at&t is finally rolling out LTE.

I don't expect you to be able to answer these questions, but is the device you're using coming out before the end of the year and do you know if at&t plans to offer unlimited LTE data for a short period like verizon did?
[Networking] xdp:
Question - why does anyone give a crap? What good is that 40 Mbps doing you. Nothing on the phone will ever make use of that. Even if you are tethering to a computer it isn't nearly as useful as those speeds would be on a home broadband connection due to the data caps. At 40 Mbps you would go through a full month's 4 GB tethering package data allotment in about 13 minutes! What a joke.
[Networking] chaoscentral:
considering this is on a fairly loaded network that is running in well over 5 cities I'd say its pretty good :-D
[Networking] Longcat14:
Question - HOW DID YOU GET AN LTE PHONE ON AT&T?

Also, nice speeds, obviously Verizon's LTE is going to get much better speeds when they've had time to get enough backhaul to all the LTE towers, just give AT&T some time, just like the time Verizon has had.
[Networking] gijshompes:
wow

amazing speeds you get there, I don't even get close
[Networking] gasolara2002:
Great question. We all would like to know that one
[Networking] nate2569:
I can't tell you how I got the phone but rest assured they are coming. Once the backhaul gets updated across the board everyone will see better speeds even with the 4G (HSPA+) devices. I'm not 100% sure how the data plans are going to work but I'm sure they will be capped higher than 2Gb. They will have to be capped somewhere or else everyone will use bandwidth all the time taking it away from other users.

That's all I know for now.
[Networking] Longcat14:
Alright, that's fine that you can't tell us, don't mind.

But just tell me, are we going to see LTE phones anytime soon, and if AT&T wants to speed up HSPA+ devices, they need to turn on 64QAM.

^relay that one to them for me. :)
[Networking] donsh00tmesanta:
VERY impressive but like verizon and sprint 4g once there's a lot of people on it the speeds drop.

But thing is all I see is a much faster way to get to the 2gb cap.

Verizon 4g is 2gb right?
[Networking] Longcat14:
Lowest for Verizon is 2GB.

But the guy said they would raise the caps... I have unlimited data, so I hope I get that on LTE also...
[Networking] nate2569:
Need I say more Mr Verizon sees 50 Mbps?
[Networking] Phateless:
Holy crap, is that for real?
[Networking] Phateless:
Agreed.
[Networking] nate2569:
I'm not saying that you will see a drop in speeds once everyone jumps on the bandwagon but what would you ever need speeds like that for anyway? Streaming movies? Hah. Maybe if your downloading one and don't want to wait or don't have wifi at home. Anyway, there are just a lot of new and exciting things happening with the AT&T network and the difference will or should already be seen by most of you now or in the near future.

Not only the network but the devices are getting better and better IMO (really unbiassed) I think AT&T has the better devices hands down.

For all those who asked. I can not say how I have an LTE device but they are sure to impress everyone once released.

Till next time.
[Networking] Phateless:
Of course speeds will go down with traffic, we just don't know how much.
