About nexus s

Do you have any documents about controlling nexus s baseband? or about xg616 development information?
[Hardware Hacking General] deyani:
Just what I was looking for! Amazing work...
[Hardware Hacking General] AdamOutler:
I don't know how to add that into the hack pack... can you put it into a pdf or word document?
[Hardware Hacking General] E:V:A:
^^ It's all in a huge text file, and I just had to dump this somewhere before I lose it, or my mind! But right now it's full of dubious comments and links, that would only confuse people. I have no time to turn this into something more readable right now. I'll send it or post it when I do.

Another thing I'd really like to see here somewhere, is a collection of high-resolution pictures of the more obscure chips, when mounted on the PCB, so that we can easily find and identify them when needed, for new platforms. Most tear-down sites skip all the smaller chips, for obvious reasons, but these are important when we don't have datasheets for the bigger ones...
[Hardware Hacking General] E:V:A:
U504 have (probably) been resolved to be the very cool MAX8922L battery charger chip, thanks to the thread "[Q][GT-I9100] What is this chip?" and will be included in the next update.
[Hardware Hacking General] AdamOutler:
dude, you should rehost that on Mediafire.. That hosting site relies on people clicking the wrong link to find the files and ending up at shadier sites.

Are you sure this is right? IC-MCP;KMVYL000LM-B503,16GB+512Mb,MoviNA?
[Hardware Hacking General] E:V:A:
Why? There's nothing wrong with Megashares or YourFileLink, they always worked for me!

They allow for high upload sizes and very fast download speeds and I don't have to

register to upload stuff! So I don't know why you like Mediafire, they're a pain

in the a** to use as you need to register, and login, while being limited by their

extremely low 200MB upload cap? In addition you have to T-Y-P-E in your password

every time, since their website is poorly designed. Anyway, the issue is resolved

thanks to the Dev-Host guys!

As you know, you can never be sure of anything when it comes to Samsung data.

But using the Samsung part-number for that part and querying their partner

database, that is the result you get. So if you're asking if that is what

is actually present in our devices, I don't know. Visual inspection is best!

Now, if you edit away the above quote, I'll update that post with new links.

I have a i9100 that starts a bit sometimes and then hangs.

The component U501 gets really hot.

Could that component be faulty or could something else cause this heat?

I have a spare main board that is completely dead and was thinking about move U501 from that and see what happens.

What do you guys think?

Cheers.
[Hardware Hacking General] E:V:A:
^^ I think you should try to get some log messages and post them somewhere with links, so that we can look at them, since there's no telling in whats wrong from here. The SGS2 is known to run hot, but not crash because of it, AFAIK. Unfortunately I don't remember which log messages are preserved after system crash or reboot. Perhaps "kmsg"? There are also other ways... Ahh, try to run adb logcat <other cmd switches> from external command and keep on saving log files and wait for it to die...

I don't recommend you to try to do this, unless you consider yourself a "re-balling pro"! (If you don't know what that means, it means that you should forget about it!) But if you feel like going ahead with this, I suggest you to start a new thread about this, as this is quite off topic.
[Hardware Hacking General] qsec:
The phone does almost always freezes really early in the boot process.

It is a confirmed hardware problem with it.

Could i get a log from the phone in that early state that tells something about it's problem?

If so could someone point me in a direction so that i could do some reading on how its done?

I did not know this about solder balls. I have no skill to do that myself but i have contacts in electronic repair that can help me for free.

Thank you.
[Hardware Hacking General] Rebellos:
Sorry for continuing offtopic.

@qsec:

PMIC overheating doesn't have to mean PMIC damage. For proper functioning it needs alot of stabilising components - capacitors and coils around. If any of them is damaged, like capacitor got shortcircuit inside, replacing PMIC won't help.

Other reason might be simple short circuit anywhere on the board.

I'd suggest you to grab RCL meter and check components around PMIC, check power consumption from battery, compare it with some alive phone, then if you won't find any faulties just try to reheat PMIC with hot-air gun (cold soldering under it might also cause it).

As last resort try to resolder any IC. PMIC has got around 80pads AFAIR (comparing to few hundreds of CPU) and it's still very hard thing to replace without damaging anything.

//edit, back on the topic:

Have you located FSA9480 or similiar switching IC? Size is for sure similiar as FSA9280, which is 3x4mm big.
[Hardware Hacking General] rhyre:

Anyone knows if there is any alternative jtag pads for i9100? I got one today with ruined jtag pads . Someone tried to unbrick with jtag but ruined the pads. Thanks.
[Hardware Hacking General] Rebellos:
I think there would be no reason for alternative pads and the destroyed ones are going straight to SoC. Probably the only way to unbrick it is UnBrickable Mod, which isn't ready (and might never be) for i9100.

[Hardware Hacking General] machv5:
Are my ideas below likely to work in restoring my phone?

I have a bricked (auto checked repartition during cwm reflash type brick) grrrSGH-I727R can only be seen via QPST in Download mode. I have been reading a heck of a lot about this device and have managed to accrue a vast amount of resources and information on this device.

I have had some success in using QPST files for a Galaxy note I7I7 (I will update with precice information once I can sort it all out, from downloaded drivers to specific information gathered, etc...). I Used QPST to load a hex file using eMMC Software Download App. This got the phones full SDCARD internal and user to show up on the computer. But QH USB modem 8000 (win native support) driver would not load, which stopped QPST in its tracks. Although I think that I am grateful for that not working as the next step would have been flashing my device with Galaxy Note firmware etc...

Next I used a Windows based partitioning tool to recover the lost partitions but the recovery did not stick. So I am using another tool to see if that works. I still cannot see the phone via ODIN or Heimdall etc... so no luck there with the "soft"unbrickables.

But if I could create a working set of files that are similar but device specific of cource and compete with hex files like I got for the galaxy Note plus the correct drivers. The phone would then as it was before the changing QPST put it through i.e., the added sight of the other USB devices in device manager. I don't see why this would not unbrick the phone.

But I have only ever been able to find firmware with hex files and other files for flashing low level once and that was for the Galaxy Note as mentioned. I have access to another unbricked totally stock Galaxy S2 which I can use to create these files. I need help so that I am not just guessing as to what I'm supposed to do based on other devices and praying I don't brick the other phone too. I am going to create a disk image of the device before the partitioning repair so that I can try to use Linux to recover the partitions some of which are ext3, then I won't have to risk another brick.

I know that the system is basically there as the information I get back lists all the mmcblk's almost exactly as the ODIN tar says it's mount points are for them and relatively the right amount of data is still there too.

Once the image has been created I am sure I can figure out a way to rebuild the partitions and files that are on them, At least I hope so before QPSTs hell freezes over. I'm not all that knowledgeable on data recovery with linux. I am still at a stage of commandline use where breaking the system beyond my ability to repair it other than a reinstall is a possibility.

I am learning all this by myself and via sites like yours and now a couple others based on the QPST knowledge I am getting. Anywho I'm rambling now. Please can someone get back to me with what I can try next or should be trying instead?

Q500

In the Samsung Service manual Q500 is shown as a three terminal device (a FET) but in my GT-I1900 the position of Q500 on the circuit board is taken by a different device. This is marked HLLA4XN and 93137 and has six pins. I have been unable to find any information about this device which I suspect performs the same function as the previous Q500 in enabling charging.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ernestnwanu:
So... I think most of us remember BlindType. The videos that were released were pretty impressive and I do believe it was coming to Android. However, since Google acquired them, there hasn't been any news on the app ever since. Many (unofficial) sources like forums pointed to an implementation of BlindType in ICS... I'm wondering if anybody has information on this. Will we be getting BlindType or is it gone for good?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crachel:
The ICS keyboard improvements are minor & include better spell check and suggestions & copy/paste integration across the whole OS.

How much of BlindType technology is integrated into the OS is unknown, and I have not seen any statements from Google or its engineers.

So i was trying to install a rom onto my phone while i had no visual feedback because for some reason CWM had stopped giving me anything when it was working, just a black screen, so i tried to install another rom and after about 20 minutes nothing happened, so i did a battery pull and now when i try and turn the phone on i'm getting that initial buzz from the vibration, but nothing else happens.

Thanks all.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emdaftrave:
Hmmm... my computer's picking it up too, and the LED comes on when charging, i just don't know how to proceed, i suspect what i've done is battery pull while it was installing the new rom and made it so i didnt have any rom on there, but the question is, how do i rectify that?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nonione:
no, those are only radios... we need RUUs

also i may rephrase when i said to wait 3 minutes, wait 20 instead RUUs take some time to flash also if your phone does not restart after pressing the power button dont pull the bttery wait some more

the unbrick wizard in Texas I linked you to is named Josh, his username here is connexion2005 - do a search on here

he has like 416 thanks :eek:

and he only has like 700 total posts, so he is apparently saving a lot of hard bricked phones!! (have you seen anyone else on XDA with 400+ thanks?)

and if you send the phone Express Mail Service (EMS), our post office here in America is quite reliable, I have never lost an EMS package and I have shipped hundreds of them on ebay over the last 15 years. I would feel comfortable sending my G2 to him, because his reputation is quite good online, and the bad people get slammed pretty fast online!

Ok, in that case, i may give him a go if i find i can't fix it myself.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickdenis09:
Okay I'm a noob and I've watched the noob video. I've tried but I just can't seem to find the answers to these questions...

I have a Bell locked SGS2. Do I have to unlock before I do any rooting?

What is the difference between flashing vs installing a custom ROM?

Are Cyanogen and MIUI roms? Are they firmware? What the heck is firmware?

Why does the Canadian guide tell me I have to download a firmware to root?

If I install this firmware (through Odin), then can I flash MIUI?

I thought I would be able to figure this out in afternoon. Guess not.

Thanks. If there's an FAQ for all this stuff that I missed, please direct me to it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kailkti:
Ugh normally I would tell you to stop expecting things to get spoon fed to you, but I can't bother.

No you do not need to unlock before you root. Unlocking has nothing to do with android or system.

Flashing is the process of installing or copying a new system over to your phone. A custom rom is a rom derived from stock/manufacturer rom but altered. Be it apps removed, new kernel, or the source code was altered.

Cyanogen and MIUI roms are roms derived from google android source code but changed to make the system better. Firmware is software, it is the leader of the hardware, it tells the hardware what to do. In other words, without software, your phone cannot do anything.

Go search up on how to root, I stop spoon feeding you here. Get some independence, 13 yrs old? Great time to start developing independence. 16? Not bad, recommend you start developing now. 18? Woowhee kinda late, better late than never though. 21? Wow...

Go look at the MIUI guide to see how to install.

Google is your best friend. If you can't use it i'm sorry but this technological world is too much for you and I recommend you stick to a dumbphone or iphone.

Reflash the Rom you are using just don't wipe anything. You will have your files back and no data will be deleted. Just be careful what you delete in the future. You can also get these files from the Rom you flashed just unzip and locate them with search. Should be under system/app

Must someone use a separate computer to download/extract/transfer a file to thier phone; or, is there an app or something that would allow someone to place the file (zip) onto the root of their sd card, without using a separate computer. I only ask; because I am running windows 7 on my laptop (can't seem to get the correct HTC drivers using windows 7, to recognize my phone), my work computer won't allow me to connect any outside devices, and my desktop is connected to my television (it's hard to fight off all the kids to get access).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rishisinha:
Hi,

I have bought Galaxy S2 just two months back. My wifi was working fine until one day it stopped working. When I switch on my wifi, it just scan for the network and then gets off. My other devices are working fine with the router. The same problem exists even after doing a factory setting for the phone and reseting the wifi router at my home.

There are few things worth noticing about the problem:

1) My PC is detecting so many wireless networks around here but my phone wifi detects none because it seems to me that the wifi is not even getting started in my phone ... no wifi notification symbol.

2) On starting other wifi related setting like "wifi direct", my phone hangs and it shows a dialogue to force close it.

Please suggest some solution for the problem.
