[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Baracs:
I bought my jig on Ebay for £1.49 post free.

It is a USB plug with a 300 mA resistor hot wired across pin 4 and 6 if I remember correctly and it basically resets the phone and kicks it into d/l mode - from there using Odin you can flash a firmware from samfirmware.com . YouTube jigs galaxy ace to see videos on how they work.

Also if you are in warranty - go back to the shop and say you were doing a KIES update and it buggered the phone (this is a known method of bricking a phone due to the ram limitation of KIES) - I did this with carphonewarehouse and it was away for 15 days - hence the reason I bought the jig - 2nd time I inserted the jig 3 seconds later i was flashing the phone.

As to your original brick EmoBoiix3 has already posted an informative warning on the use of ROM Manager - although the new version is suppose to work on the ACE.

Good luck in your endeavours.

[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
I'm having a strange issue with the T-Mobile/myTouch 4G slash screen not always appearing when the phone is booting. It's not ROM-related since it's happened with several different ROMs installed. What happens is I'll press the power button, the phone will vibrate, but rather than the white MT4G screen appearing, a completely black screen will. After that, the ROM's splash screen pops up and the boot continues normally. This happens during roughly 1 out of 10 boots, otherwise the MT4G screen appears normally. My concern is that something is corrupt with my bootloader. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
More probably something is corrupt with splash1 partition. But yes, something isn't well.

You could try reflashing the splash1, given that you have engineering bootloader, and see if it helps any.
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
What do you mean when you say "isn't well"? Do I have a potential brick on my hands?

I'm not sure how something could have become corrupted as I haven't messed with the bootloader at all. About a year ago, I rooted via the Visionary/root.sh method and have not flashed many different ROMs.

What exactly is "splash1" and how would I flash it?
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
That's just weird but I would have to agree with the splash partition thing. One thing you could try is drew blues splash screen editor and relash the stock img. That might fix the issue. Its some where in the apps section.
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it. Do you have any idea what the consequence of a problem with the splash partition is? It still appears normally in 9 out of 10 boots.
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
Or also open up the pd15img and delete everything except the splash Img. (May not be called splash but you should be able to figure out which of the files it is) Then flash the pd15img accordingly

Edit: splash file and the updater script!!!!!
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
No I don't but I wouldn't think it could or would completely fail without loosing the entire eMMc chip.

Haha, I knew someone would give me s**t. I debated if it really belonged in Q&A. Still not sure. Maybe you're right. :p

I am thinking about flashing a new bootloader flash screen via fastboot by following the instructions in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=866474. If anyone has any input I'm all ears. :)
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
you mean this one?

if not, this one works very well, just used it yesterday, worked amazingly. :)
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
I'd say - go for it. In the worst case, you'll get a customized splash screen, in the best case - your problem will disappear.

If it doesn't help - you could try (re)flashing Engineering HBOOT.

And if both didn't help - then you should hope that this would be the only semi-bad sector your eMMC has (most probably the problem appears because eMMC isn't read correctly, but since it's on splash1 partition - the only harm is not seeing the image).
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
Thanks for the info. I do have the "good" eMMC, so hopefully this fixes the issue and I have no further problems.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] McCordRM:
Ok, I have a T-Mobile Mytouch 3G (Magic) which was Rooted. I used FastBootCommander to flash one of the Gingerbread .zip files and it failed.

Now, I can't even boot the phone. If I remove the battery, then replace it and hook up my PC cable, the amber light comes on. If I then hit the power button, the amber light goes off and nothing else happens, and at that point I can only remove the battery again to get the amber light to come back.

If I hold the trackball and hit the power button I get the blue light, but I still

can't do anything from there.

Am I completely bricked? Any tricks I'm missing?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 5[Strogino]:
Hmm...

Remove battery and place it back after 5-10 seconds. It can help when phone is bootlooping.

Then press and hold Back + Power. Phone will start into fastboot-mode

Other combinations:

Home + Power (recovery)

VolumeDown + Power (hboot)

If any combination will success - hardware is working properly, but need ROM)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] McCordRM:
None of the combos are working except for Trackball + Power, and that only

gives me the blue light.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] awebagar:
totally bricked i think

your case like mine before,if we plug charging and push power button, light goes off..

all you can do is JTAG i think..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 5[Strogino]:
Yeah. A brick.

McCordRM, what files did you flash? I will analyze them...

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fekish:
Hello,

i was using 1.3 ManualNooter 4.6.16 for the last 6 months, and yesterday i decided to try something else. I just downloaded the CM7 rom and updated my Nook...

I felt so embarassed because i thought there was more work in getting Nook work on CM7, and i didnt know that i had just to wipe all data and run the pack through recovery :o

The thing now is that i miss some of Nooks software. Is there a way to find somewhere these? As they were not backed-up through Titanium Backup.

Also my second question is if i want to change SD Card, can i just copy everything from one card to the other? Because i remember right at the start of rooting my Nook, there was a step of selecting my SD Card capacity...

Thanks!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
The only thing I remember about SD card capacity was anything related to imaging size for cards during rooting. Nothing to do with storage on the device. I have switched between a 4GB and 8GB by inserting it into the device, and copying everything over from laptop to it.

As far as the B&N software, the only thing you can get is the application from the market. Anything related to the reader portion (i.e. the launcher screen, etc) cannot be used in CM7. However, some of the applications I know can be used (Pandora is an example).
[Samsung Mesmerize] wslytoy:
On a spare Showcase that I've got, kind of a test mule instead of bricking my daily use phone, I flashed CM7.1. It flashed fine, everything seemed to work just fine w/ the google roms. However, after playing w/ it and letting the battery die, now the damn thing won't save ANY passwords. Like for instance, on an ebay app, fb app, twitter app... the app opens at the log in page, I attempt to log in, and it gives me and error message. When I attempt to go to the android market, I get an error message. When I pull up the browser, home page is set to google, the home page pulls up fine. However, if I try to go to another website, I get an error message, but I can go right to google w/o issues. Since this phone isn't on Cspires network, all of this is done over wifi, but I'm showing a decent wifi signal. Any ideas?? I really like CM7.1, it's so much faster than 2.3.5, but if all else fails, I'm gonna have to odin back to 2.3.5, which I don't wanna do.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Tangentabacus:
The CM 7.1 is quite problematic on the Showcase... Right now I don't have mobile data thanks to CM7
[Samsung Mesmerize] wslytoy:
yeah, I'm not impressed at all. I definitely like the features that CM offers, but I guess w/ this phone being a regional phone, it kinda hinders development. I can't wait to switch to ATT.
[Samsung Mesmerize] 93foxgt:
At&t really. They are way overpriced. Just promise not to get an iphone :p

[TouchPad General] The Overman:
Hi Folks,

I was playing with changing my home page on the browser (i.e. editing BrowserApp.js) and it seems that now I can't install patches associated with the browser (Private Browsing, for instance). It fails with a message like this:

-1: Unable to run command: IPKG_OFFLINE_ROOT=/media/cryptofs/apps /bin/sh /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/lib/ipkg/info/org.webosinternals.patches.browser-private-browsing.postinst 2>&1

1 out of 9 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.browser/source/BrowserApp.js.rej

The browser itself is working fine. I also had a previous backup of this file that I did before starting editing it, but puting it back didn't solve the problem. I also tried to download a copy from a thread here in XDA but no use. I'm wondering if the package checks for checksum or the date, and it's failing that check...

Do you guys have any ideas on how to fix it? Do I need to use the doctor just because of this issue? (everything else is working, including installation of other packages)

Any help is appreciated!

I'm running HTC incredible S with 2.3.3 on bell network. I have S-OFF, superuser installed.

I was wondering if it's possible to install a custom kernal that allows incredible S CPU overclocking?
[HTC Incredible S] System92:
There are different ways of doing this, you could get an app on the android market which would allow you to overclock. Custom ROMs such as CyanogenMod allow you to overclock out of the box as well. Furthermore, if you install the Tiamat kernel, it could allow you to overclock even more.

Hope this helps! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nekoarashi:
Hello,

Long time lurker, first time poster here. I recently switched from the Evo 4g to the Epic 4g touch after a year of proud ownership.

Cutting to the chase, I am unable to get past the rider select for Riptide GP using Chainfire 3d (latest version and PRO from marketplace). I am running starburst rom, on stock I cannot even get it to boot the game whatsoever and Chainfire in general doesn't seem to play nice with stock (the app, not the developer)

Has anyone had success in getting this game to work with this exact device? I also have the shaders installed as well as the plugins, so I didn't make a careless mistake. If you are able to run the game please, shed some light on the solution for me. Thank you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] icexige:
Try changing both per-app and default opengl settings to nvidia. And make sure you have the version 2 of the riptide shader file installed.

Do i need chainfire 3d pro to set opengl to nvida
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtuansdiamm:
Can someone walk me through this process
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] icexige:
no... u need to first download and install 3 pluggins one being the nvida. only then, u can set the default opengl to nvidia.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] icexige:
u need to download the following plugins including the shader zip file i posted above. move all 4 files to root of your sdcard.

launch chainfire3d and click on install plugins/shaders. after a brief search, you should see all four files listed. click individual files to install all four.

once you have them installed, you should be able to change the default opengl settings to nvidia. enjoy!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nekoarashi:
Thank you for your gracious replies, I have followed advice on trying to set default to Nvidia as well. I am also using the updated shaders as advised. I still have it crash back to Chainfire at rider selection. Anyone have any other ideas as to what this could be caused by? I have also tried it with ViperRom just now, same issue. Thank you kindly
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] icexige:
have you configured per-app opengl settings as well? i actually had to set both default and per-app opengl settings to nvidia to get pass the rider screen.

once you set the default to nvida, click on per-app opengl settings and select riptide to change it's opengl settings to nvidia.

if that doesn't work for you then try uninstalling shader file from chainfire3d and reinstall. (launch chainfire3d->manage plugins/shaders->click com.vectorunit.blue)

Ok ok so I know one is a phone and one is a tablet, but...

I was planning on getting the Galaxy Nexus w/ICS when it comes out, then I thought to myself "well my current Vibrant is fine, I can put that money towards a Tablet and just keep using my Samsung Galaxy Vibrant as my phone."

What do you guys think? If you could only purchase one. Would you get a new Galaxy Nexus phone, or option 2 which is to just keep your current phone (Vibrant) and buy a Transformer 2 instead?

What are the pros and cons?

I should mention, I don't currently own any Tablet.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SavCom:
'tis a difficult choice.

I had the Desire, and am up for renewal in January. The Desire died, so am back on my 'thickphone', an old, venerable SE K800i. I did think about getting a Desire S or similar as a replacement but it would only be three months and I'd be getting another phone through an upgrade.

Although not as fast as the Desire in terms of 3G performance, the K800i does tether to my son's Transformer so I have decided to go for the Transformer now, put up with bluetooth tethering while travelling and then get a new phone come the upgrade in 2012.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
I have a Desire - I'm going to get a new phone, rather than an "upgraded" Transformer. Since the TF101 will get the ICS I don't look forward to the Prime, because by the time most apps will use quad-core, there will be a TF 3 :P The design looks awesome, but i won't get it because of that.

Im keeping the TF and getting the Galaxy Nexus. The TF does exactly what I want it to do and its going to get ICS so its only going to get better. I am rocking the original Evo so its getting longer in the tooth and wont be seeing the update.

I dont need any of the new hotness on the tablet (NFC, etc) I just really need it to run market apps and play videos, which it does well. The Office/PDF, etc stuff works fine and it plays my HD video (although ICS comes with APIs for GPU access so it should play better back video) so I dont really need an upgrade there.

But the phone comes with NFC, video chatting, the payment system, new widgets, etc. Its also a Google reference device so I know its going to be current for some time.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekkitan:
I say Galaxy Nexus. If you already have a Transformer (One), what is the point in getting the TF2? Quad core is nice, but do you really need it? Once ICS comes out on the TF, we'll have hardware accelerated graphics (or so the rumor has it) and graphics will perform a lot better. The TF2 is thinner I guess.

Also don't forget all the problems the Transformers had with defects. I would hope that Asus would have that all ironed out for the Transformer Prime, but I wouldn't count on it. If you have a close to perfect (or perfect) Transformer now, I just don't see a point in upgrading for a somewhat thinner tablet and four cores versus two cores.
