Thanks Flussen, maybe not boot loops but white screen.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
The stuck at wite screen is do to the way some roms even the stock install. The wipe removes some stuff. Not sure why HTC did it that way. As stated above just flash a stock ruu and your fine

Thanks Zendel that's reassuring, Ill try when I get home.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigf00tPL:
Hey, xda dev members. :)

As this is my first post,I've gotta say I used the "search" function here on forum.

I just didn't find what I actually needed.

The thing is : I got my dad's HTC Desire which had been dropped on the ground.

The screen is cracked but the Digitizer looks undamaged imo.

It turns on,I can hear the startup sound,buttons light up etc.

How do I check if other parts are working properly?

I don't really trust repair shops/HTC service is too pricy and I could replace the screen/digitizer by myself with no problem.

Thank you in advance.

P.S. I can post pics if needed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimlad:
seems a bit strange that the screen is cracked but the digitizer isn't damaged, can you feel the crack with your nail?

I changed a digitizer not so long ago, it wasn't so difficult.

http://tjworld.net/blog/htc-desire-tear-down

I don't know how much a new screen will cost though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigf00tPL:
Yeah,I'm disassembling it at the moment.

I just hate getting cheated/ripped by mobile repair centres,so I'd rather do what I can by myself.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ex!le:
It's strange.. Are you sure that the digitizer is not cracked?

Here in Czech Rep. the LCD for the Desire/NexusOne costs something about $70 (1300Kč)..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigf00tPL:
Here it's approx. 30 $ for digitizer and $50 for the screen.

I guess I'll order both just in case.

The thing is I don't know how to check if everything else is ok.

It was kicked hard but there's sound,button highlight,vibration etc. when I turn it on.

Anyone got idea?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ex!le:
I had the same problem... I crashed really hardly my phone. The digitizer and the LCD were totally broken, but everything worked (sounds, vibration, buttons etc.). So I think that your phone should work normally (besides the screen and maybe the digitizer)... my oppinion
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigf00tPL:
Whoa.I'd completely disassembled it and the digitizer looks undamaged.

I haven't got any idea how it's possible since the screen is cracked all over...

[Edit] Any idea how to tell whether it's AMOLED or LCD?

I can't turn it on,so I can't use the methods involving a turned on phone.

Maybe some serial number methods or something?

[/Edit]
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ex!le:
you lucker :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigf00tPL:
Just distinguished SLCD from AMOLED by serial numbers.

60H00287 - Samsung AMOLED LCD

60H00443 -Super Sony LCD

Mine was the Samsung.

Ordering a new one,thanks for helping me out.

Can be locked. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ex!le:
For how much?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigf00tPL:
Unfortunately,it's AMOLED,so it costs ~60$(190 PLN).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigf00tPL:
Sorry for doubleposting but I'm not sure if editing a post will bring the topic up.

I found out that the digitizer connector is probably broken. (pic included)

Any idea if I can get it fixed anywhere?

Dear Masters,

I am having LG GM200 and now I have bought GS2. I want to transfer my text messages from GM200 to GS2. How to do? I am able to download text msgs into .csv file using LG PC Sync. But now how to upload that .csv file to GS2? Is there any other way possible?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cool_sid007:
use contact sim cards.. dey hv higer memories..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
If the LG is android then maybe try 'SMS backup and restore' from market. Copy/send the saved file to the s2, install the app on it and restore.

I transferred all my SMS/call logs/apns from s1 to s2 using apps from market.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyssa1104:
SMS backup

I second that SMS backup used it for my SG2 works great.

Also the mobile suites like Mobile Master & Mobiledit if you already own these apps, OTHERWISE >>>>> SMS backup!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chokhu1585:
If the lg phone was android den there wont be any problem. But its basic phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chokhu1585:
What is contact sim card? I have no idea about it. Can you brief it? One thing I thought of copying msgs from lg phone to sim card den put that sim card to GS2 nd copy again to phone. But I dont know how to copy msgs from phone to sim card.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chokhu1585:
Sorry for posting in wrong section. I am noob here.

One solution of my problem i was thinking about is that i can transfer my msgs from s2 to txt file thru application called sms2text(available in market)

And I have already txt file of msgs from my lg gm200 mobile. So i can merge these 2 files manualy and upload final txt file to S2 again. I think this should work. Havent tried it yet. Will try once i go home. What u guys say about this. Will update once i have tried.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chokhu1585:
Ok. So I have modified txt file as mentioned in previous post nd when i am going to restore msgs using this text file, i m getting an error that invalid column size or something like that. Can anyone explain me wat the problem is? Nd also i have modified this txt file on pc nd transfered back to mobile. As i m not able to modify this file from mobile itself.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chokhu1585:
Hey... No one is replying my query. Let me explain nd ask in simple way. Is there any software by which I can back up all my msgs from my GS2 in txt file or any other format nd then edit that file to add or delete some msgs nd then again restore msgs using this modified file? I have tried sms to text application from market nd back up my msgs to txt file. Den i added one msg in that file with the same format nd tried to restore msgs using this modified file but getting error that invalid numbers of column. When I tried to restore without editing text file then it is restored. Can anyone help me regarding my problem? Or any other method for doing the same.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
To do it simple, don't think it's possible. Keep the CSV on your computer for nostalgic reasons and enjoy the GS2. As others have said, if it was a smartphone to smartphone deal then surely but not from custom OS to Smartphone OS. The Data fields in a CSV file can vary so importing them wouldn't work so well for txt. For Contacts it's easier but but not for messages.

I sometimes want to keep mine but I end up just wiping everything when I upgrade and I don't miss them. I always feel like I will but never do. I still have some SMS backed up from my Samsung Blackjack from 2007 or so, never ever have I read them again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mreeekay:
Hi,

Every now and then my accelerometer stops working. I usually keep restarting into the bootloader to fix it, but its not as effective as the first couple of times. I'm still within my 30 days, should I return it? Or is there a way to fix this?

When I calibrate the G Sensor, it always aborts when the problem is present.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Spovik:
My wife's G-sensor is broken too.... but anyways...

If you're still stock and even after a factory reset it still causes problem, definitely exchange it.
[HTC Wildfire S] whatdoesthisdo:
im terribly sorry if this is the wrong to post, or sounds mega nooby, but thats because i am a noob, i really want my phone to play as many games as i can, and unlock its full potential, ive tried a bunch of things on youtube etc. i have s-on , golauncher, s -on, and alot of music and like 3 games. help me please? inbox would be excellent...
[HTC Wildfire S] Tectas:
Sry, I'm not pretty sure what you really want, is it about space or speed or what?

But anyways what you want to do (data2sd, overclocking,...) you first need s-off by xtc-clip, after that you can root, change roms,... Look at the general section, there is a index sticky where all guides, roms,... are linked.

[HTC Wildfire S] centrezuk:
if your looking just for games and music buy an ipod touch..
[HTC Wildfire S] whatdoesthisdo:
can u please tell me how to do this? and what mods, roms and stuff you would suggest?
[HTC Wildfire S] whatdoesthisdo:
rather quick snarky reply but that is a good point, but i bought this phone so that i'd have an mp3 player, phoe and gaming device in one small toy :) so any i device would be useless to me
[HTC Wildfire S] Tectas:
An iPhone would have the abilities you want too, but anyway Android rocks cause of the ability to mod the hell out of it, but also cause of this it's more an geek OS than ios.

An xtc-clip is a peace of hardware to unlock your bootloader, create a goldcard and remove simlock. You can get it at e-bay or you can go to a second hand seller that also does repairs (not all of them got one) to get it unlocked by them (I had to pay 20 euro for it).

I would recommend the unofficial cyanogen port, but it's a matter taste, cyanogen isn't that eyecandy and it's still beta yet, if you like sense, jikantaru xe would be the best choice I think.

Swyped from my Desire S
[HTC Wildfire S] whatdoesthisdo:
with the cyanogen i still need the xtc clip thing dont i? and would u happen to have an xtc clip?
[HTC Wildfire S] Tectas:
For every custom rom you need an unlocked bootloader first. I have none, I unlocked mine at a second hand handy shop for 20 euro.

[Thunderbolt General] rainabba:
Now that HTC has dropped source, I'm wondering if anyone has plans for new kernels? I'd like to have proper sliders for overclocking at the least (though I'm grateful for all the hard work around the stock kernels).

If not, I'll see if I can get info from team BAMF and see what I can build because that's been my preferred ROM for a few weeks (running 1.03 right now). I haven't built anything for the public since the ZeusDroid project (OG Droid) though so I have to start from scratch (build environment and all). :D

The poll is to help me get an idea of much interest there is in such a project so I know whether I should expect to put much time into it.
[Thunderbolt General] Grnlantern79:
There are 4 new kernels out for 3.5 roms since the source came out. And you should not have post this in development section this in a Q and A. If you can't find the kernels you are not as smart as you think you are. I will give you and Easter egg hunt if you go to your favorite Rom site you will find one of them made just for your favorite Rom.
[Thunderbolt General] cabagekiller:
Grnlanturn. Do not insult rainabba. He is very knowledable. I remember the zeusdroid days. But I too am confused by the slider request. But there are a few good kernels can't name them since I run cm7 on my tbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] Grnlantern79:
Ok I won't be one to scare off a potential developer but there are in fact 4 kernels out for 3.5 roms ziggy, imo, jdk, adr. Another will be out when lou drops his. I say if you can make one, make one even in your spare time, it may blow all of them away.
[Thunderbolt General] thejondude:
il say it.... go away
[Thunderbolt General] cynikalJ:
i may be wrong her but i dont think the kernels are "sense" based. they are based off of Android. so this post makes no sense...
[Thunderbolt General] playpolo4life:
Was this a joke? There ARE in fact sense based kernels... Hence the importance of HTC dropping its kernel source for sense based ROMs. Also the fact that an AOSP kernel does not work on a sense ROM and vice versa.......................
[Thunderbolt General] musicfreak190:
lol^....I am running BAMF SOAB, and it runs great stock...but the battery life was horrible and there was no overclocking, so I flashed the new imo kernel and its just as fast and way better on battery life...but I was wondering has anyone tried all of the other kernels with SOAB or another sense 3.5 rom?

I am looking for battery life..i was getting 6 hours with synergy with moderate use and now i am getting 8 hours with SOAB and the new imo kernel..if anyone has any suggestions on kernels let me know :)
[Thunderbolt General] rainabba:
I'm at 40% after 12 hours off the charger with mild-moderate use and at least half the day I've been running this kernel (thanks to someone considerate enough to PM me a link instead of wasting posts here trolling) at 1.7GHz with the SmartAss2 governor. I'm not sure if I'm sold on this kernel yet (though it definitely is a nice base so either way, credit to jdkoreclipse).

For at least the last 4 days (and the first half of today), I've been running this kernel at 1.5GHz with the Demand governor and loving it. AMAZINGLY smooth and battery life has been as good as any ROM/Kernel combo I've used on my TBolt to date (12-16 hours with moderate use and lots of time on 4G/no wifi).
[Thunderbolt General] Boostjunky:
I love how this forum has a bunch of asenine "know-it-alls" that pretend to know what they're talking about (btw, this is not in reference to the original poster, but rather the jack asses that are posting replies in this thread).

If you don't have anything productive to add, then why are you here? I don't pretend to know a whole lot about developing, and in short, my contributions to the android community are minimal, at best. But I do contribute when I can, and if there's something I am not sure of, I don't spout off what I "THINK" I know, simply to make myself look like an idiot in front of those who do...

Well done, folks. Well done. I guess this is what everybody is talking about in other Android forums about the idiots on XDA.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Actually, yes they can.

There is no Sense kernel. There is no AOSP kernel. Changes are mostly in the initramfs. AOSP usually requires a few extra changes as well, but a Sense kernel as you call it CAN boot AOSP. It may not be perfect, and some things may be broken, but most functionality is there. AOSP kernel as you call it may work on Sense based roms. It depends on how close the source is to the original source HTC supplied or worked with.

Note I said kernel. Not initramfs+kernel, aka boot.img.
[Thunderbolt General] theoneownz:
And you sir just proved your own point.
[Thunderbolt General] Boostjunky:
You, sir, are correct. And unfortunately I realized it only after submitting my post. Too late to take it back, now. Guess I just needed to get something off my chest, though.

What I don't understand is why people have to attack potential developers on a personal level, I guess. Granted, the o.p. could have posted in a better suited forum, but why make it personal by practically calling him stupid in a round about way?

Sorry for posting at all. I'm sure it's all falling on deaf ears for the most part, anyway.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Boost:

There is some history here that isn't apparent.
[Thunderbolt General] Boostjunky:
Understood.

I apologize if any of my posts were offensive to any of the amazing devs that help to support this forum.

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

Bought a GS 2 a couple of days back and its running the following firmware

Baseband : I9100DDKE4

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555

BUILD NUMBER - XWKF3

Have a few queries regarding flashing firmware

1) Can i flash the KJ1 firmware from Intratech's official firmware list?

2) The firmware mentioned above has only one file.

3) Since the above package only contains one file, updating to the above firmware would change the CSC. I'm from India. And hence i would lose the settings.

How should i proceed?

I am very much new to this. The above questions maybe / are silly, but would like to know how this works.

Many thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Yes using odin, you can always flash another csc after, I suggest you read the thread and understand the basics of flashing firmware, before you proceed, flash cf root using odin so you will be rooted and reboot into recovery or use cwm app that comes with cf root and do a backup, so if things go wrong you can go back into recovery and restore back.

You can find cf root in original dev section.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrayv:
The firmware update contains a baseband for a different country. If I update using the above, would I lose my network/data connectivity?

Thanks,

Shray
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrayv:
So if i update to the package without flashing the original CSC back, would i still be able to access my mobile network and data?

In other words, does the CSC have any carrier settings? I own a unlocked the GS2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrayv:
Any help on my query?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanishkaggarwal:
Yes will be able to access the internet.

I tried a firmware of different country and even after that my GPRS and general call and text were working fine.

Later i flashed Indian CSC.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
The CSC contains some customizations, but responsible for your baseband/network and data connectivity is the Modem/Phone part.

As there are many other users of your region/country running on Intratech's ROM versions, this should work for you as well.

P.S.:

I prefer Frankenstein versions, as you can combine them with any other Modem/Phone and/or CSC.

Just download the files you need/want to use, put them into the corresponding section in Odin and flash them at once to your phone.

Good luck !
