Original HSPL post: here

About issue:

After running RSPL on MANGO OSPL, you can't flash device via SPL.

Windows Phone 7 OS is still booting and working.

Instead of full SPL screen you will see only one the first line:

You device will be "HALF BRICKED", because you can use OS, but can't flash anything else.

Some HTC OEM Update contain a new Spl.

Maybe this way it will be possible to fix this issue.

if you have an half bricked device simply post this details:

device model

Dev unlock state (chevron...)

oem version (exemple 2250.21.40600.401)

& if possible rom link.

And i will told you what to try...

Hi kaemen

it seem that you do not use the good oem update.

try to found the good one, try zune.

you can also try to edit registry

if you operator doesn't deploy oem updated via zune.

change operator info in registry.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo]

"MobileOperator = ATT-US"

"MOName = AT&T Wireless"

"OEMDeviceName = PACIFIC_ATT_US"

Hi

yes try to install this cab spark_2250.21.50001.707 this will install new spl if this work ,after that you will need goldcard to downgrade spl & reinstall hspl.

"You device will be "HALF BRICKED", because you can use OS, but can't flash anything else."

I wish I could... Yesterday I downgraded to NoDo and wanted to reupdate to Mango properly and while I was updating to Mango the Updateprocess failed. The Phone never booted back to NoDo and is stuck at the boot. Currently I am messing around with the GoldCard stuff
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
A crash or similar failure (even the cable coming unplugged) during the update will always leave the phone in a broken state. That has nothing to do with half-bricked bootloaders.

You can probably put the phone in recovery mode and connect it to Zune like that, and Zune should be able to restore the backup that was taken prior to the update beginning. That will put you back on NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ludacris:
Well from what I understood I here with a half-bricked bootloader (one line left on the tri-colored screen) and the phone wont be detected by windows at all =( (Correct me if I got something wrong)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Try booting to the Recovery mode, not the SPL mode. Hold the Camera button while booting. Zune *may* be able to see that mode.

However, if the SPL itself was damaged by a failed update (possible but a bit weird, unless you were using HSPL before), that may not work and you may need goldcard.

You can use Gold Card method. That's just the only option i can recommend.

My device is half-brick (tri-colored but without serial/usb) but with "USB Host mode" available (Power button + Vol Down + Camera Button).

Here's how I do it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1429318

After that it's all OK now.

Try this at your own risk.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] roqstr:
what xboxmod said is 100% correct, i bricked my phone and was able to repair it through a simple firmware-update ( the internet-sharing one).

BUT: it's still not flashable. The white block should contain "SERIAL" or "USB", but it's empty. So you don't win anything. You just loose the oportunity to inter-op your device (htc-interop was released 3 days after i updated -.-').

so, a half-bricked phone has only 1 disadvantage: you can't flash it.

this kind of repair don't help to fix this.

You know, it wouldn't surprise me if Moto releases a few phones for every model that are unlocked, same with the Xyboards. They're like Easter Eggs and they just want to see if anyone will take the unlocked goodness and run with it, or if anyone will even notice.

The device:

GT-P6210 v3.2

Kernal: 2.6.36-P6210UEKL1-CL583281 se.infra@SEI-20 #3

Build: HTJ85B.UEKL1 P6210UEKLI

The sitch:

I'm a US citizen with a US device (I bought through Amazon.com and had shipped to me through a third party). However, I am currently living in Japan on a military installation. When searching for an app on the Android Market, 95% of the time the return is: No results found--even if what I'm searching for is free. I'm assuming the 5% app result (even though it's never what I'm looking for) is because of a similar app posted on the Japanese market (I could be wrong). Using a median to get through to the market (GetJar, etc.), I am able to download free apps, but I cannot buy anything that costs money. I finally emailed the Android App Customer Service and was told it was because of my IP address.

The kicker:

First and foremost, how is it my IP when I have reset my device to factory default and used a US VPN before I logged into the market and was still unable to access apps? But even putting aside that point, here is some food for thought:

I have owned both a Nook Color and Kindle Fire and, after rooting them, was able to access the Android Market just fine. All within the IP address I am currently using.

I have friends here who own Android phones (bought here on the military base through a Japanese phone company) and an Android US tablet. On all three devices they are able to access the market without any problems. Additional info: Friend's devices are SIRIUS α IS06 [au.kddi.com/english/seihin/ichiran/smartphone/is06/index.html] x2, and a Toshiba Thrive 10”; none of friend's devices are rooted.

I had above friend log into my Android Market account on her phone and buy a few apps for me, and she was able to.

Another friend of mine here owns the same Galaxy Tab I do and can also not access the Android Market.

So what is going on? How, exactly, does the market determine your location. And how do I fix it? MarketEnabler and MarketUnlocker don’t work on WiFi only devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] theundeadelvis:
Not a fix, but have you tried accessing the market from a computer, and purchasing the apps through it? If the computer can access all the apps, you may be able to choose your tab as the device you wish to install them on. Not a fix, but maybe a temporary work-around.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] theundeadelvis:
Also, what are a couple of the apps? Could be that the market doesn't recognize them as compatible with the 7+ (due screen resolution, lack of telephony, etc.) List a couple apps, and i can see if i have access to them. Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Sassapphras:
Yes. I apparently have 3 devices on there and all 3 are always grayed out. It says "This item cannot be installed on your device."

The 3 latest apps I've tried are gReader Pro, HD Widgets, and Tabletbar Hider (root). My friend was able to buy the first 2 for me on my account with her phone, but Tabletbar Hider is incompitable so it doesn't show up. When trying to download it from my PC, my friend's newly added phone says "This item is not compatible with your device" while my tablet gives the above error. I've had the market issue with every single app I've tried.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] theundeadelvis:
Yep, I have access to all three from my 7+. Strange that the options for your devices are grayed out. Hopefully somewhere here will have more to offer.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Sassapphras:
I forgot to add that if I can get an outside link to the marketplace app, if it's free I can download it fine. I can even browse within the market and download free apps. I cannot search for apps (free or pay) and I cannot buy apps even with an outside link into the marketplace. <--this is all on my tablet. My PC can find apps, I just can't download/buy them because it says I have no compatible devices.

Hi all,

Love switching roms. Recently the middle row of the touch keyboard stopped working... tried flashing different roms. Tried fastboot -w, formatting the system partition before reinstall... did full wipe and wiped dalvik cache.

On a new ROM now and the issue is still present. The touch only seems to be an issue with the keyboard, tried different keyboards with different roms and it's like I have a dead zone in the middle... and whether I use the keyboard in landscape or portrait the issue is present with the middle row.

*EDIT- this is not a keyboard issue... the deadzone is there from my home screen too... hardware? :-( *

is there a way to make android avoid turning the phone off when he thinks the battery is low ( which is not ).

my phone fell on nasty waters ( yes, i was drunk ), and i opened it, cleaned it,dryed and put everything back

with first boot up everything worked except when touching the screen,nothing happened..... after doing several connect/ disconnect of the cables inside the phone, finally the touch is responsive, it even feels more responsive than before and also the boot up time is faster , the only problem now is that android thinks the battery is low and i tried 2 diferent batteries on 2 moto triumphs i have and they work fine in the clean mt . ( phone works ok when connected to the power outlet ), and it always shows 1% battery life remaining.

so my question is:

is there a command or app that stop android checking for battery life remaining ?

and i believe is android, because if i turn the phone into recovery mode and leave it like that, the battery last hours and hours ( screen on all the time ).

feel free to give me a tip or trick that might help i greatly appreciate it

no answer is dumb to me

Which radio version works best with 2.3.5 and sense 3.5 Dincs?

Anyone have success with the newest one?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Newest official radio for the Incredible is 07/07. All radios listed in the radio thread "work best" for the Incredible. Radio performance is dependent on your proximity to towers, environment, etc. This question is rather impossible to answer due to the difference in location of each user.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdnine:
Thanks for the info...could certain radios cause my Dinc to have random reboots?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
It's entirely possible, but I wouldn't blame your radio if the reboots occur some time, say weeks, later. Typically the issues that people notice are frequency of dropped calls, data speeds, and signal strength; and those are the most obvious signs to spot. It's more telling if your reboots began the very day you installed a new radio. Also, if you did not check the md5 sum of the file to verify its integrity this may lead to installing an improper radio zip and thus a possibly "bricked" phone.

Can the radio be updated at any time? No need to clean and reload ROM each time the radio is updated???
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
No need to reflash a rom when changing radios. You install new radios whenever you want. The only "requirements" after installing a new radio are:

1) Always boot into the rom after installing a radio to ensure it completes its process. Do not go into recovery and flash anything prior to booting into your rom, issues will inevitably arise.

2) performing a *228 or *22899.

When I want to hide files on my SDCard, the application moves them to the internal memory. This can be quite time consuming for larger files. I see the option, but it is greyed out.

2. The ability to Select a folder and hide it instead of entering the folder, then selecting all items.

3. The ability to choose which section is the first section viewed (hidden or visible) once the app is unlocked.
