There's the original thread discussing it.

Believe me, sadly it seems the only option I'm left with. It appears USB debugging was turned off, I can't get the phone to do much via USB cable. I've tried ADB reboot recovery - no dice, it doesn't see the device. Probably should have been clearer in my original post that it's not just about not being able to boot into recovery, that in of itself wouldn't bother me, if my phone wasn't in a boot loop :P. Therefore I'm guessing it might be too late for the stuff you advise.

I'll have a look at the things you mentioned but yeah, nothing else has worked so I think it may have to go down the hardware repair road. If you can advise anything you think might work in the phones current state though, I'm all ears and I would be as grateful as all get out.

Cheers for the Phone Doctor tip. What are their prices like? Cheaper is obviously better, though I don't mind paying a bit extra to avoid dodgies. Some of the reviews I've seen for mobile repair places on google are frankly scary! Don't suppose you mean these guys? http://www.fonedoc.com.au/repairs.php Similar name.

hey mate you might have already taken your phone somewhere, sorry about the lack of reply. the place i went to was actually drphone.com.au, they fixed it on the spot but when they put it back together it didn't exactly look seamless. what can you expect though right?

i don't know about the places you posted quotes from, but i would recommend going in to the store to get it done, don't send it anywhere cos you never know when you'll get it back.

also i had a quick read through your other thread, it seems like you've tried everything you could have, and a hardware repair is what you need to do.

On the off chance that your adb setup was the problem and not your phone, try this zip I've attached. It comes from leith51's radio flash guide, but i use it as a quick start for all adb commands. (credit to jkoljo as well)

Unpack the zip anywhere on your pc, doesn't matter. Go in to the folder and click "Start here", it will open a command prompt. With your phone plugged in, type "adb devices" - it should give you a printout of the phone's serial number. If not, the phone isn't recognised and you're back to getting it repaired. But if it did work, the next step is "adb reboot recovery", then full wipe, install a new rom.

Good luck!

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ethicistabdiel:
Thanks heaps dude, appreciate the time taken to reply and REALLY appreciate you taking the time to read the other thread to see if you could help. Hoping I can learn enough stuff to be helpful to others down the line rather than just leeching, this seems a pretty good community here.

Not sent her away yet no, I'll give that file a go and let you know if it does the trick.

I think I may go with the Fone Doc guys, they seem pretty legit compared to a lot of others I've seen, gonna do a bit more research first though. Sadly I can only find two reviews for them and they're fairly contradictory of one another, lol; http://www.truelocal.com.au/business/fone-doc/caringbah
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ethicistabdiel:
Tried your version of ADB - unfortunately with the phone either on and stuck in the ICS bootloop or off, adb is still not picking up on a device. Cheers much for the attempt though, it really is appreciated, looks like I'm not fixing this without forking out cash though. Considering I paid $100 for the phone but, I can't complain too much :).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maatsby:
No worries, I leeched a lot at first too but this forum is great, I've learnt so much in a short space of time so now i'm trying to return the favour, so i'm happy to help out.

Sucks that it really is a hardware issue now. But mate, if you only paid $100 for the phone just go for it! the repairs could be $200 and you'd still be coming out ahead!

I'd be interested to know how it goes. Hopefully a new volume rocker fixes it for you
[XPERIA X10 General] GreatBigDog:
Well it's been quite a ride with the old X10. I've seen many changes come and go since the phone arrived with Android 1.6, some good, some better, some totally awesome.

But....... There comes a time for change and like I've moved on from the HTC Dream and HTC Magic, it's time to move on from the X10. I've picked up the Galaxy Nexus and I'll be moving over to the Nexus forms.

I'd like to thank everyone, especially all our awesome developers, for all the time and effort that you've all put into making this forum ones of the most interesting places on XDA.
[XPERIA X10 General] colossus:
Good luck mate and thanks for everything you did for us over here.;)

Do not be a stranger and pop by to say hi now and again, also let us know how you are getting on with your Nexus.

All the best Colossus.:)

Is it possible to cook HTC SensorSDK 4.x (from Leo, Topaz, Tachi etc.) into HTC Diamond ROM?

I have tried the ones from Topaz and Tachi, but they didn't work. I wonder if any chef had successfully ported HTC SensorSDK 4.x to Diamond, and I would like to learn how this can be accomplished.

I am after HTC SensorSDK 4.x because the new SDK has support for whitelist in the registry for apps auto-rotation.
[Windows Mobile] kwbr:
You may want to try attached package
[Windows Mobile] kjliew:
Hi,

Thanks. Your package works!!

Do you mind sharing from which device ROM the package was sourced from? Did you have to hex-edit the DLL files or the package can be used as-is after dumping the ROM?
[Windows Mobile] kwbr:
your welcome my friend. not sure, because it's a long time since i cooked wm, but i think i got it from a htc topaz test rom.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
Whats the app?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pyro6128:
Gps test
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Try "GPS test" on the market.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
Whats the # to look for, in view or in use? What would be considered "locked in"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yhzhrm:
GPS Status from the market is another option.

If you want to check your wifi signal try the wifi analyzer app

I believe you need a fix on at least 3 to 4 satellites to get a lock. I am seeing any where from 6 to 9 sat's with a fix on 5 or 6. SNR is pretty low though compared to my phone for the same sat's in the same location.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Couldnt tell you... tried it with 5 primes since Jan 6 and still no satellite locks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
I have 9 in use inside my house!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cappurnikus:
My Droid 3 has almost 20 sat's and the prime has none, after the update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Would a house be more likely to get locks or see satellites indoors than in a 4-5 story brick apartment building with several other buildings around also?

I need to stop b.s.n. n take my tablet outside one of these days n do a real test. I usually never have the patience to wait for a lock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xPSYCHOTRONx:
My gps doesn't work at all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:

My new prime has never shown one satellite whether inside or outside. Never! Kinda frustrating for me that others can get something and i never have.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] epicfailure53:
I'm in the same boat 0 in use and 0 in view even after update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xPSYCHOTRONx:
Yup it sux
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
Before update locked on within 15 sec no wifi with at least 9 in use and can see as much as 15 indoors or out and while driving. After update. First day no sign of sats. 2nd day back in buisness! Got my sats back not sure if update made a difference maybe stronger signals this time around.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] thereisone:
Getting my bionic tomorrow, what are the first few things I should do to it, apps to get, or anything else y'all would suggest. I want to root it but don't know how.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ticrandall:
Return it. Then buy sometbing other than motorola.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] davwman:
if you want something you can flash roms and kernels with, you chose the wrong phone unless moto unlocks the bootloader
[Motorola Droid Bionic] thereisone:
Lol well that was a lot of help. It's a replacement for my crap Samsung Charge or should I say the previous 4 replacements.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brainwash1:
Get a spare battery. I got 2 with a charger for less than $13 on ebay with free shipping.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] thereisone:
What's that mean? I want ICS when it's available.

Just want a fast bloat free phone that I can teather and run root apps on.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] thereisone:
Bought 2 extended batteries and covers and battery only charger with a regular battery today.

3 batteries ftw!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] davwman:
well then, you are good because thats what the bionic is most capable of.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] thereisone:
Now I just have to figure out how to do it!

:-\
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brainwash1:
For tethering, try ClockworkMod Tether. I also installed Eclipse ROM 2.1 a few days ago and it seems to work pretty well, without any bloatware (which didn't bother me much on this phone anyway).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tucknology:
Hi thereisone. I also just switched over from the charge last week. I've been very happy with the bionic. I had the static problem with my radio, but I was also disappointed with the battery life, slow GPS, and general slow response on the charge. All these were improved on the bionic. Of course the screen isn't as nice, but I can live with it. Only real complaint is that the camera sucks.

Anyway, I've been writing up a guide for how to root and get to the latest and greatest. It can be hard to figure it all out because of out-of-date posts. Like others have told you already, we can only go so far right now, but if you just need a phone that functions without all the bloat you'll be alright. I'll have it up by tomorrow.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
Get a 901 radio data is,very stady nit so hot on 893,
[Motorola Droid Bionic] thereisone:
Please do.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MarcMaiden:
The other day I went to the verizon store and played with the Galaxy Nexus. I've been thinking about retiring the Bionic for the Nexus, bad thing is the Bionic was a birthday present from my family and I feel bad for ridding it. Anyways, to my surprise, it felt like the Nexus was running as fast and smooth as my Bionic was. I was kind of shocked honestly. So the only thing the Galaxy has going for it: unlocked bootloader, ICS, its a Nexus Device.

anyways hope that makes you feel a little better about having the Bionic.

Before there were any roms for the Bionic, I rooted it (there are guides on how to in the dev section) then found some free apps from the market that remove bloat.

If you are comfortable installing roms, there are instructions on doing so in the dev section but read them carefully and do not skip steps. I recommend eclipse 2.1. It's fast, it looks nice, and it has a much better data connection thanks to the 901 radio. It's a bit tricky to flash for some, but because you are on stock, you will have less of a problem.

Hope it helps!

Happy Droiding!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mhrussell1:
As stated above, I would make sure you have the 901 System Version. You can check that on the Settings->About Phone menu. It will read 5.9.901.XT875 ... The next thing would be to root it and then install a Custom ROM which is compatible with this version. AFAIK, you have to buy a MySQL app to modify one of the system settings to allow you to do the WiFi tether. You have to fake out the installed Verizon app. Sorry if you already know all of this but when you install the Custom ROM they generally recommend you clear all of the stored data so you will have to set up all of account usernames and passwords again for the apps that are in /system.

I rooted my phone before I did anything. I just took it home, plugged it into the computer and started the scripts I needed.

Good Luck.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] thereisone:
It came with 893. Should I use forever root update then flash eclipse?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] thereisone:
I can be considered a newb when it a to all this rooting. I know nothing so I'm leaning as I go. Following the guides I can find and useful users like y'all.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tucknology:
My instructions are here:

Still updating a few details. Allow until this evening and then try it out.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ms0chez:
I also just got my Bionic today as a replacement for my Charge. My Charge had an unfortunate accident and were out of them so they offered me the Bionic and LG Revolution. Like I'd really pick the Revolution over the Bionic? Lol

But looking forward to the guide cause I am completely lost when it comes to the Moto World. And also am looking to wifi tether.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] grifsworld:
I've had my Bionic for a few months, and have been recently resisting the .901 update because I didn't want to lose root. All that aside, followed this guide and it worked great! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nutsngum:
I rooted my phone with SuperOneClick and that went well, when ahead and installed ROM Manager from the Market and flashed the CWM (T-Mobile version).

Then I was going to boot into recovery mode so I shut down and hit POWER + DOWN, did that, now my phone is stuck in ODIN MODE with the android logo and a message saying "Downloading...do not turn off target"

Under ODIN Mode

Product Name: SGH-I727R

Custom Binary Download: NO

Current Binary: Samsung Official

Any help?!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nutsngum:
Phew okay still works!

After I hit 'Flash CWM Recovery' in ROM Manager, do I need to reboot in recovery mode with ODIN? Any instructions to do so?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
NO just hit flash in cwm in rom manager and let it flash in cwm and than do this to install rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nutsngum:
Do I not need to do this step first before I can install ROMs?

Ahhh got it - ok will back up then try to flash :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nutsngum:
When you say "Go to CWM" how do I do that exactly? Same with clearing the data/cache/dalvik?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
Open up rom manager and select second option reboot into recovery. and there will be options in cwm about clearing data/cache and under advance you can clear dalvik.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nutsngum:
Thanks! And when you install the add ones for the ICS, is it just the APKs that you need to put on your SD?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
depends if its apk than you can install it regularly and if its .zip file you have to flash it through cwm. IT will say by file if its cwm flash able or apk. By the way you must be topped out on ur thanx rite haha cauz i don't see any.

Just wanted to know if this was ur first android. I am sure it is.

[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
*I made this before any of these new roms came out and as such it was meant for and has been tested on only the stock Gingerbread rom that comes with the phone. I doubt it will be compatible with the new roms.*

*Typical disclaimer - short version - I'm not a dev, just a tinkerer, blah blah blah, use at your own risk, blah blah blah, god speed =)*

As requested, here's the framework-res.apk that changes nothing but adds the percent battery value to the stock battery icon. Everything else will look the same with the exception of the numbers on the battery, as such:

If you haven't swapped framework-res.apk or SystemUI.apk, please read one of my previous posts for instructions, such as:

Blue icons and removed carrier logo

You CAN very easily brick your phone if you do this incorrectly (ESPECIALLY if you use a file explorer other than root explorer)! So please ask if you're not sure about something.

Just as a refresher,

Basic instructions -

1.) download/unzip on computer

2.) copy framework-res.apk to /sysem/ folder on phone (USE ROOT EXPLORER!)

3.) change permissions to owner: read write, group: read, others: read

4.) move framework-res.apk to /system/framework folder

5.) restart phone

Any other modifications you've made to framework-res.apk will have to be reinstated afterwards.

Hope you enjoy!
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
Ok first of all big thanks for this. However, I'm new to Android and it's a bit over my head. I'm going to have to check out your other thread I think.
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
Oh, sorry! Basically, you need root explorer from the market. I know it costs something like 3 bucks, but in my opinion, it's totally worth it if you do any mods on the phone at all. Messing with framework-res.apk with other file explorers can spell disaster. Root explorer is the only one I really trust.

1.) Using root explorer, COPY your framework-res.apk file at /system/framework/framework-res.apk to somewhere on your sd card for safekeeping, just as a backup.

2.) Move framework-res.apk from this thread's "stock icons - percent battery.zip" onto your sd card, and move it into /system folder on your phone.

3.) Long-press on this framework-res.apk in root explorer, and select permissions. Change permissions to: Owner: read/write, group: read, others: read.

4.) Move this framework-res.apk, now with the proper permissions, into /system/framework folder, and let it overwrite the original framework-res.apk.

5.) Restart your phone!
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
Oh, Root Browser works great for me and best of all it's free!
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
Have you used it specifically to replace framework-res.apk before? If it works for that, great! But if you haven't tried that already, be aware how the file explorer specifically handles framework-res.apk is the difference between the phone being fine or getting bricked. With root explorer, when you replace framework-res.apk, it prevents the phone from accessing the file while copying, and only actually swaps at reboot. With other file explorers like ES File Explorer, even with root permissions and all the same functionality of root explorer, when you swap framework-res.apk, the phone continues to try to read off the framework-res.apk as it is being overwritten, causing the phone to crash and an endless bootloop/brick. (I know because I tried to find a free alternative to root explorer and ended up with a brick =P) If Root Browser works for this, that's fantastic! But be careful! Unless you've already swapped framework-res.apk using this and it worked beautifully, be very very very cautious!!
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
Yep! I guess I lucked out when I went into it without really knowing what I was doing.
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
Haha, awesome! Great! There's a free alternative then! =) So percent worked okay with you?
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
I just bought the Root Explorer. I'm assuming it needs to say "Mounted as R/W". Otherwise it's in read only mode?
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
Yup! RW mode needed
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
Yeah everything looks great! Thanks.
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
Awesome! You're welcome!
[LG Nitro HD] daebaybay:

man... not sure what i did wrong but i used root explorer. now my p930 is in an endless bootloop.

what did you do to fix yours?
[LG Nitro HD] mdkrush:
File Expert

Has anyone tried useing File Expert? I really cant see buying the root explorer for one time use... I have been using File Expert for a while but never got into the aformentioned files...
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
I use root browser. Its free and worked for me.
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
I took mine back to the AT&T store =/ I was still within 30 days after purchasing.

You can follow the unbrick solution in this thread here

That sucks, dude! Any clue what happened? After copying framework-res.apk into /system/ but before putting it into /system/framework, did you change the permissions to owner: read write, group: read, others: read? Or did you use a file manager other than file explorer? Sorry, man! =(
