[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vientito:
you just bought the phone rite? send it to service.

no need to buy anything to do it yourself. That riff box costs around $150 and there are people in various cities who might be able to repair your phone (check website of riff box) with fees but try with SE service centre first. You might get it done for free.

If you have followed the steps it really should not end up like that. It is really discouraging to read posts like yours. It makes me ponder twice whether I should go and try the unblock my bootloader myself.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe200:
I think SE center won't cost $150 (and if cost that much rather than buying those tools or pay SE i will buy another x8 it cost cheaper than that).

I agree with you, send it back to SE center and tell them u're upgrading phone software but the the power or internet down in the middle of process and your phone dead.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alenal5:
No, the thing is, i've already told them I was upgrading my software and phone crashed when I swaped my first phone, so if I send them back another phone in that short time I'll become suspect, and I highly doubt they'll accept my warranty

btw. I really don't know what could be the reason for bricking :(

Basebands versions were xxx015 on the both devices...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xpraken:
men try again with seus :)

just turn your pc/windows on safe mode with networking

ive experience that :D

then

do this like i said in other thread :D

try it again with this steps

open pc companion (dont plug your phone)

choose support zone click start

select phone software update

click start

then CLICK REPAIR PHONE

and that its you know the next step

you will see initializing AND downloading the phone software
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alenal5:
Will try it tonight but I higly doubt since phone doesn't react with LED anyhow

Thank you for your tip anyway
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roxthenet:
No led respone when usb connected and press back button...impossible you can run pc companion or seus..
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe200:
There's nothing wrong trying right?

Besides if they're not accepting your warranty you will pay anyway...

And if SE center tell you to pay ask them how much in front before doing any reparation.

Maybe $10, $20 etc i doubt it will cost as high as new phone.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tohno:
help... i am also in the same situation..my phone bricked when i was bootloading , now its completely black and it cant on ...when i connect to pc , pc cant detect ..help please..i just bought my w8 about 3weeks only ..my dad's present ...hlp please
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ynnadkrap:
Hi all,

My Nexus S has been acting strange these past few days. It started when I let my battery completely drain the other day. After rebooting it, the power button wasn't acting properly (sometimes it would go to phone options and other times it wasn't responsive at all), but since I have cm7 I just used my volume rockers as my power button. Additionally, some of my preferences and settings were wiped on my ADW launcher, which isn't a big deal. Last night, I let the battery drain again, and I haven't been able to fully boot since. First of all, it wont even boot unless I'm plugged in. When it does boot, it's caught in an infinite loop during the cynanogen 7 loading screen (the skateboarder and the rotating arrow). I tried to boot in safe mode with volume up + power button, and it gets to the safe boot screen but I can't use my volume rockers to move the cursor up or down. Needless to say, I'm pretty stuck here. If you guys have any suggestions or ideas, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks a bunch!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GallStones:
It sounds weird. It could be an hardware problem. Maybe battery-related

Do you have another battery to put into your phone to try it out? Maybe since it completely drained it was corrupted, i think i heard in the past to never completely drain Li-Ion batteries to avoid problems...

Meanwhile you can try putting it on charge for some hours and then see if it awakes
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ynnadkrap:
unfortunately i don't have another battery, and i've left the phone to charge all day but i'm still getting the same result.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suksit:
I'd try pulling the battery out for like 30 seconds then put it back.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wiredcowboy:
I have been running a rooted samsung infuse with various roms for the past 6 months. I went to flash the latest modem this morning and when my phone came back on I had no service. At that time I was running CM7 and updating to the KK4 modem.

As I have worked through this problem I have returned to stock via ultimate unbrick. I have searched all over, but cant seem to find a solution.

Details:

Samsung Infuse running Stock 2.2.1

Problem:

No Service

No IMEI - reads null/null

About says: Baseband Version: Unknown

after doing several hours of research and trying various things I have not been able to find a solution.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
I am not so sure if KK4 would work on 2.2. It is a GB modem.

And flashing back to stock overwrites modem and kernel and all back to stock, except formatting internal SD.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wiredcowboy:
It appears I may have some backups of my nv_data files under:

/efs/root/afs/settings/

with the following files:

.nv_data.bak

.nv_data.bin

.nv_data.md5

can someone tell me if these are backup files and if I just need to move them into some other directory?

What directory does the phone read the normal nv_data files from?

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Sarius24:
If you have a backup of your efs folder why not just try putting it where it would usually go?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
well the easy fix that adam outler said would be to delete the efs folder all together and you will get a generic imei number but i never tried that. somehow you wound up with corrupt files in the efs partition. but if you have backups you can try to copy them over the originals.

you can also dd the efs partition and tell it to ignore bad blocks with

dd if=/dev/block/stl3 of=efs.img conv=noerror

this will make a backup of whatever is still good for a last ditch effort to recover what ever files you can.

my guess is that you played with an aosp rom. i believe that converts /efs to ext4 since rfs is closed source. i dont know how our aosp kernels work, since it is all unofficial lb may have had a different way to do it. but im guessing the conversion either corrupted the partition or that the kenrel you have cant read ext4. you might just need to install a voodoo kernel for the phone to be able to mount it. im not really sure.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] khan_frd2002:
[MENTION=3466774]wiredcowboy[/MENTION]....have got it fixed buddy??

i m also having same issue....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wiredcowboy:
This was a long time ago. But I believe the solution was exactly what was said above. Delete the EFS folder and have it recreate your IMEI. You should also check to make sure you have a phone compatible modem. Check your modem and reflash another one if that's where the problem could have come from.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theprecocious14:
Almost same Problem

Even I have the same problem, but with a slight plus point

Sometimes, I get the network, but after a while,it's gone .

If I'm on a call (when I luckily get network) , it gets disconnected within a minute or two .. and in a minute ,I get back the signals (nd sometimes,it takes hours to get back the network)

What could the problem possibly be ?? :confused:

Is there anyone on the forum to help me out ??

Thanks.

P.S : There is no fault with the Sim,I have tried multiple SIMs , the problem remains same throughout .
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bixx:
OK title says it all, and yes I have been reading for the last 3hrs, all the possible solutions.

HD2 EU Vodafone UK

So here is what I have tried:-

Task 29 + flash stock rom - stuck -

Hard reset - stuck

remove HSPL - stuck

flash latest Vodafone rom from HTC 3.14.161.3 - stuck - also SPL now 3.03

flash old stock to downgrade SPL to 1.66 - stuck

Have also tried reinstalling MAGLDR - stuck - magldr doesn't even show.

I never get flash failed, and yet it will not get past the Tri coloured bootloader.

Also I cannot get it to flash from SD. I have tried holding the endcall and vol down but it just goes to the loader.

Vol Up and endcall goes to hard reset.

And, to make it worse, it's not even mine. I was returning it to Winmo for a mate.

Phones been running Android nand since March without problems.

All suggestions welcome.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
that would indicate a stuck volume down button, since hard reset is volup and voldown. (You dont need to hold power, tap and release it, its teh vol buttons you hold)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bixx:
You are quite right about the vol up and down for reset.

Also, I had been considering the possibility of a stuck button.

I will see if i can prove or disprove it.

Thanks for the response.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bixx:
Does anybody know how many buttons are in the volume control rocker?

Is it:-

1 for down volume

1 for up volume

and another for both when you hold both in?

I am still trying to decide if the down volume button is stuck on.

When I hold both down I can get into reset mode, but if I only press the up it still goes to tri colour.

So I am still not sure if the down is stuck on.

3 buttons in the rocker could explain why up only doesn't go to reset but 2 buttons only would confirm that the down is not stuck on.

All comments welcome
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
two, you can feel them click on individually when you press them.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bixx:
I too can only feel 2 and that would imply that the down

is not

stuck.

When I hold the up button and switch on it goes to boot loader, if it was stuck shouldn't the phone have gone to reset?

I was hoping it was like a mouse wheel with forwards, backwards and click down which is 3 positions.

I'm running out of things to try.

If it's not stuck why does it keep going to bootloader with out being asked?

Why can I flash roms and HSPL without any failure messages but still find no change on reboot?

Thanks for the replies and please keep them comming
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bixx:
I have managed to flash from SD. I tried a different card.

I have attached a pic of the screen saying update complete, update success.

But still stuck in bootloader:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
well, if it isnt hardware, it must be a corrupted bootloader issue, or bad nand blocks perhaps. ive seen quite a few 'only enters bootoader' threads over the yrs, but never really noticed a solution.

sorry, no suggestions, other than perhaps give teh freezer trick a go?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bixx:
I'm desperate enough to try almost anything.

I will have to read up on the freezer trick.( don't want to kill it completely)

I have also contacted a couple of repairers for a quote using Jtag. the first said "sorry bricked" and I'm still waiting for the second reply.

Also reading up on Goldcards, maybe that's another option?

Thanks again for the reply.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
cant hurt to try.

lol, probably scared of doing it (it requires dismantling teh phone, and theyre notoriously easy to break, there are loads of threads here where someone took theirs in for a fix and the vol/bottom button/screen ribon cables got broke by the shop.

could be tho unlikely (sorry) goldcard flashing is just sd flashing but bypasses carrier and region checks.

if you can get the serial of your sd card, i can make you a goldcard image, no problem. (Don't bother using the free goldcard page on revskills website, its for android and wp7 phones) . PM me the serial and an email address if you want one.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bixx:
@samsamuel Thanks for all your help and advice.

I have sent it off for repair today.

As I said in the first post, it's not even mine I was re flashing winmo 6.5 so my mate could sell it.

Hopefully it will be all sorted now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bixx:
Update.

I contacted 3 repairers.

1st said "sorry dead"

2nd said "£40 + postage"

3rd said "£21 which became £29 all in"

So I sent it to 3rd one, got a quick reply "sorry unable to fix, here is a full refund" and they returned it via 1st class post.

So yesterday I've got the phone in my hands, poped in the battery and I am presented on screen with a triangle and the words "flash failed please try again"

So task 29, now back with a tricoloured screen. See attached.

Now tried a custom Winmo, and it works :D

So I tried 2 Vodafone and 1 O2 stock roms and they all failed at 9%.

Tried another custom Winmo, and again working:confused:

So finally, I have task 29, CLK, clockwork v5 and latest MIUI. All working just fine.

Is there a stock looking custom winmo that anybody can recommend?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
Hah, a lucky outcome. The radio is stuck, hence stock roms failing, but lucky for you its still a working radio, so customs are working. About the best result you could get, considering.

I'd say try the Artemis rom, but that will require spl 3.03.hspl, and occasionally the stuck radio issue messes with changing spl,,
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bixx:
Not so sure about your stuck radio theory, I have been able to change the radio without an issue.

I will give Artemis rom a go.

thanks for all the support.

Merry Christmas

I upgraded to SFR some months ago but now I'd like to revert to a previous state (it was NODO when I bought it).

Unfortunately my PC "lost" the backup since it's not asking me anymore to revert to a backup. I remember it used to ask for it but now it stopped.

I checked "windows phone update" backup folder and it's empty

What can I do ?

Hvor køber i jeres prime når de udkommer? og har i preordered?

((Translation if you wish)

Where are you going to buy your prime, and have you preordered?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MadssiDK:
(Danish)

Der er ikke kommet anden info end at den udkommer i januar her i Danmark og at den kommer til at koste 5000 kr og docken kommer til at koste 1500kr :(

(English)

There haven't been any other info

Than the price 5000 kr for the tablet and 1500kr for the dock
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mafiapanda:
Det fandme dyrt det er, 1500 for et keyboard?! man kan købe en tablet til den pris:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LeCramp:
There has been too little info from any danish retailer. The ones I've been talking to (Proshop, Komplett, Elgiganten, etc) had never even heard of this tablet and have no dates.

So for now I have preordered it at amazon.de - the prize including shipping for the 64GB gray version is around 4700,- there.

However, I will cancel it if any of the danish retailers can get their info sorted out and actually put it up for preorder.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gnopps:
The only store in the Nordics so far where I've seen the Prime is CDON: http://cdon.dk/hjemme-elektronik/asus_eee_pad_transformer_tf201_32gb_inkl_keyboard-17451242. Expected delivery is listed as February 1st.

They are following list prices in all countries except Finland where they for some reason tack on 11% :-(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LeCramp:
And its "only" the 32GB model they got up for preorder.. As usual it will probably take an additional month or two before we see the 64GB model.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gnopps:
Asus Sweden (and I believe Finland as well) have stated that the 32GB gold version with dock is the only version that will be available for sale until further notice. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LeCramp:
:( Just typical.. I cannot understand why this is always so. It's sheer stupidity. But I'm sure Amazon is happy for all my orders over the years thanks to this..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mafiapanda:
Well the price on cdon is just fine, 4990 with dock? that's a just fine price for me..

PREORDERING!:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LeCramp:
It is a fine price.. and I'd preorder it at CDON also if I didn't want the 64GB version instead :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mafiapanda:
Hvad skal du bruge 64 gig til når du har cloud+usb(ekstern harddisk)+sdkort læser?:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LeCramp:
Mainly movies and games. I communte 2 hours each day - and I need to be entertained ;) Sure, I could just shuffle the content more often. But I know from experience that that gets tiresome fast enough to warrant the bigger amount of mem..

And as I don't have any need for the keyboard just yet, I'll get the 64GB version for the same price as the 32GB version incl keydock..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mafiapanda:
Alright! :)

But isnt there a microsd reader in the tablet? you could buy a pretty cheap 32gig card:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LeCramp:
I intend to ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Selech:
Overvejer at forudbestille fra CDON, ved ikke rigtig hvad jeg skal tro om at ingen andre forhandlere har noget at sige om Prime.. Men i det mindste har vi da noget vi kan gå ud fra her i Danmark, pris omkring 5000 kr og CDON har det med at sætte sene udgivelser for ikke at skuffe så jeg tager Februar som senest! :rolleyes:

And for the english speaking audience who crossed their fingers for any new info and choose to check this thread:

Considering preordering from CDON, cause I'm not really sure what to think about no other retailers having any information about the Prime. But at least we have a little idea of what to expect here in Denmark, price around 5000 kr and CDON usually have their expected releases late so they doesn't end up disapointing, so I take February as the latest release! :rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Selech:
CDON har fjernet Prime fra deres side.. Var der en af jer der fik forudbestilt? Og i så fald, har I fået nogen information fra dem?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gnopps:
They removed it because Asus asked them not to take pre-orders until Prime has been launched in Scandinavia,.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MadssiDK:
Dam so now we know nothing the prime here om Scandinavia?

I mean is the price on 5000 kr then still right?

[Desire HD General] renehd2:
hello comunity, a friend of mine is insisting in changing me his atrix for my desire hd... my phone is in perfect conditions, i am very happy with my phone because it a great support, and the big screen is something i love, i like how it takes the pictures, and my battery life has been ending from the morning to the night with 20% left...

the plus of the atrix is that it has FFC, its dual core, QHD screen, fingerprint unlocker, and bigger battery, but it has a smaller screen, and the UI is so ugly, i dont know hows the camera, and how it performs with the games...

so what do you thin guys... is it a good deal or should i keep my DHD?
[Desire HD General] haerigrek:
in case of UI, that is not a problem. you can always install a custom AOSP rom or a second launcher and modify your system to your wish. Small screen is only concern. I wouldn't change my DHD for anything with smaller screen. Actually only phone I would be able to change my DHD for is Samsung Galaxy Note, which I'm getting in January :D
[Desire HD General] renehd2:
But in performance do you guys think atrix is better than DHD..? Maybe with ics coming? And what about camera?
[Desire HD General] bluizzo:
Heard the atrix has okay specs, but I love my inspire/dhd. love it so much I got 2, the inspire and a euro DHD w/ a dead TS :(. Like that I have more ram then the atrix and looove the solid build that HTC does. If they made this phone a duel core, shot in 1080p, bumbed the 8mpx to atleast 10-12mpx, changed the lcd screen to something more crisp and kills apples retna display then I'd be even more happier and never change this phone

Sent from my CM7 Nightly HTC Desire HD
[Desire HD General] Cappelletti:
Motorola? NEVER!
[Desire HD General] Ill Named:
I have both of these phones. I gotta say, the atrix is a better phone. It has way more power, battery lasts me two days using Homebase rom and I love the lapdock. Fingerprint scanner is also awesome. Games like Shadowgun run perfect on it. DHD has a way bigger developing community though and I do like sense. I currently am using runnydroid on my dhd and can barely make a day on the battery. I did just calibrate it last night though, so we'll see how today goes.
[Desire HD General] CodeJACK:
Atrix also has the option for a docking station.

I know it sounds a bit mad but for business users this could be a great advantage.

I can get my Windows work desktop to appear on the DHD but if only there was a way to hook up and external monitor and use a bluetooth kb and mouse. I could then ditch all other devices and only have my DHD for everything.

I think the DHD is perfect other than this (battery capacity maybe too) .
[Desire HD General] darnvil:
no still loving my DHD until 4 core processor release...
[Desire HD General] andalism:
maybe i would, given its amazing battery life and the HD dock... pretty neat features. The quality of the phone is also superb. Motorola makes the most solid phones( hardly surprising given its expertise).

BUT BUT BUT.

their after-sales support fails, outside of the USA. ( if you want to keep it stock ROM,unrooted )

and despite grand claims by nvidia, tegra 2 kinda sucks. No neon instruction support and guess what, MOST HD mp4 videos cant be played(some 480p videos too) unless you re-encode the video/use rock player(may be choppy).

Pretty irritating for me given that i love watching videos.
[Desire HD General] @home:
Well I have just gone the other way Atrix back to DHD.

For music with poweramp Atrix is a fab machine beats the DHD.

Battery life too.

Screen looks better on DHD & it's batter to use.

The Atrix is over rated & the software is kak. Not that many Roms out there either.

I'd avoid the Atrix, or any Motokak handset.

It's your choice but I had Atrix for 3 months & got shut & glad I did so
[Desire HD General] shad0wboss:
Don't even mention MOTOROLA. I had the worst experience with motorola services. I own a motorola defy and it's been an year since motorola announced FROYO for my eu phone but it's been more than a year and they are still rolling out. I highly doubt if they're even working on it now but it never came...

And why atrix? you've got droid bionic, you've got RAZR so why atrix....but don't even consider buying motorola. You'll have to survive on custom roms...
[Desire HD General] SANDR09:
I like my DHD, and i don't want motorola ;)
