[General Questions and Answers] AndyCarroll:
Ok, I know lots of people brick their phones, and like in my case hard-bricked as well. But everycase is unique but I'd really appreciate if you guys could look over what I did and see if my plan of action is the right thing to do.

So, basically I came across ICS on youtube by chance and it looked to be really cool for my S2. I have no experience with romming and such and I'd only ever heard of it. Then after about only 3 hours of research I set to work to romming it. The instructions said I had to get a clockwork mod to flash the drive to get ICS. I think I messed this up as I'm not entirely sure I unzipped the folder properly to get the .tar. on pda.

So, my phone would turn on but only get to the samsung logo with the warning sign. By this time I was fed up and worried and such and decided it was too much effort and just wanted my phone back. So I set out to put the original firmware back on. I downloaded the stuff and put the in their respective slots, pit,pda and mobile I think. I pushed start and it was if odin had frozen (no progress bar either), I couldn't click anything and the log script in the corner showed nothing.

I was quite annoyed and closed odin and unplugged my phone,put it back in download and such to try again. This time the same thing happened and I unplugged the phone first, Big mistake! My phone went completely black and effectively hard bricked.

Okay that's what happened. I just want advice to see if what I'm going to do is right.

1- Imma try to go through the simple workarounds to try to get my phone back into download mode.

2- This will probably fail, so I will purchase a USB jig from amazon, this will give me 3 potential results

one. My phone will get back into download mode and there will be no warning sign under the samsung logo and custom counter at 0.

two. My phone will get back into download mode but there is still the warning sign and the custom counter is at 0

three. Nothing will happen or my counter will be at one

3- okay so if scenario one happens I will send my phone to samsung and they should repair as they have already told me through e-mail they believe it to be a motherboard problem

scenario two, I will send my phone to vodafone,as I've learnt from the forums their techies should not care as much about that kind of thing.

scenario three, I will send my phone to mobile tech videos in Texas from the UK as everyone seems to trust them and they look pretty legit.

Okay, so that's basically my plan of action. All I want is for you guys is to just go "yeah, good idea thats probably right" or show me what I've misjudged or if you are aware of another option for me.

Thanks,

Adam

[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
After some fighting I managed to convince my phone to redownload the ota(had to delete old zip and clear data on the htcdm service, then the "check new" option started working again). I accepted the update, it downloaded. There was a loud ding and then nothing, phone still on, no prompts, no reboot, no nothing. Ideas? Could it be something that was frozen by the cleantool?
[HTC Rezound] antawnm26:
I'm sure the reason why nobody has replied is because you didnt use the search at all..go to the front page and look for OTA and you will be on the right track....
[HTC Rezound] jonathan413:
Are you stock or rooted? If your rooted then this problem is normal..even if you did get a prompt and somehow managed to get into recovery then you would get an error..if your stock then I'm not sure what's wrong..either way there is a stock rooted Rom with the update out already and I'm sure other rims will incorporate the update also.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
I've used the search and so far have yet to see anyone with the exact same problem. Have you seen something I haven't?

I'm stock (no rom at all), rooted, default recovery
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
lock your bootloader my friend.

fastboot oem relock

then you can unlock it again after..
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
So if the bootloader is unlocked it won't even reboot to try the update?

It's weird cause read postings here saying people are rooted and unlocked and still install just fine. So what's the actual truth?
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
In fact right in this thread someone says they didn't lose lock(as in never relocked seemingly):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466474&page=10
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
My theory is that some service disabled by Cleantool may be required for this update to get started, but just a theory. Has anyone who completely debloated run this successfully yet?

Love to hear other theories though.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Question

I know the original unlock was a hard reset to the phone.

Do subsequent RELOCK and UNLOCK do the same thing?
[HTC Rezound] xbxjunkie:
That would be a great fix IF it worked for all Rezounds....

Unfortunately, it doesn't. My buddies phone was also unlocked thru HTCDEV and rooted and the update sailed right thru for him.....not for me though
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
What happened with yours? I just tried unfreezing some stuff and going to try installing after work. What was the difference between you and your friends phones? Bloat removal, etc?
[HTC Rezound] xbxjunkie:
I can download the update, but during the attempted install I get the red triangle and I gotta pull the battery. I unfroze all my bloatware from rom toolbox and tried again....nope. I did a backup, and tried a factory reset....nope again.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
At least you are getting to the reboot. Mine doesn't even reboot, just downloads and then beeps at me, then nothing.
[HTC Rezound] RustyNailz:
I was messing with this earlier today. I reengaged the lock and then my phone would only load hboot. I eventually gave up and reran the unlock process, which unfortunately did wipe out all of my data. Thank goodness for AM and my nandroid from last night!
[HTC Rezound] Radiman:
I have the same problem as well. I am stock, no root but I have used CleanTool to get rid of bloat. I have downloaded the update atleast 10 times and it has never done anything. Just dings at me, I click OK and no reboot, nothing. Not sure what is up.

EDIT: I used the CleanTool again and temp rooted and restored all the bloat, option 5 I believe and now it is taking the update.
[HTC Rezound] xbxjunkie:
X2 no luck
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I had the same issue , drove me batty, i thought maybe i left a ph98zip on my card. Took the card out and still wouldn't reboot. I just said screw it and tried the RUU through fastboot and it worked ! Then I just downloaded the update and unlocked again and rerooted. I did lose data on internal SD also lol.. I am a noob to Titanium backup and when I redownloaded it couldn't figure out why all my apps were gone.. :D
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
Or you guys could just download cons rom with the updates in it...
[HTC Rezound] mpoly112:
Someone will extract it soon and make a flashable zip
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Did any one figure out how to get the OTA to Re-download?

Did any one figure out how to get the OTA to Re-download? Mine downloaded, gave the option to install, said battery to low and try with charged battery. Didn't realize that it was downloading or I would have made sure the battery was fully charged. It has not given me another prompt to install. How do you get to download again? Just deleting the OTApkg.zip will not do it. What other file needs deleting or?
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Today the phone "asked" to install Update again.....

Finally, Today the phone "asked" to install Update again.....I had unfrozen all the apps, made backup, Backed up SU with Voodoo OTA RootKeeper. I accepted the upgrade. After about 10 minutes it started back up. Upgrade installed fine, still had root (went ahead and restored with RootKeeper). Rebooted and everything was as before....except with the upgrade!!! Thanks everyone!!
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
I was stock ROM, unlocked, rooted and de-bloated and I had to re-lock and RUU back to TRUE stock in order to get it to take the OTA.

Not a huge deal.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Is there any app like boot manager that can do so? As far as I know, boot manager supports nexus one, but not Nexus S.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squeck94:
That would be just awesome! I'll follow this thread :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Boot manager doesn't work on nexus s. I haven't tried it though. It's just what I've heard. Then there's this app 'switchme'. But that just let's you boot into different profiles of the same ROM. Kind of like having a guest and a main account for Windows.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falconrulz:
Boot Manager is going to add support for ICS on Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] riyazhyder:
Hi,

I have a samsung focus running 7.10.8107. I was tired of the people on the other side telling me that they cant hear me. tried diagnostics in vain since *#197328640# was not working. I was driven to the verge of a hardrest and thought, if Hardset is the only way, why dont I fiddle with some reg keys.. The issue was that there were no reference available.. I searched the web and found that am not the only one with this issue but there were no solution.

I took a chance and tried to follow the WM reg key changes and with reg editor 1.2.0.0 (thanks to Julien Schapman) I searched for keys similar to the ones in WM 6/6.5 used to tweak mic volume, like "mic" "audio gain" etc. I played around with few keys for over 10 days now and My issue with Mic is gone if I use the following reg edits

HKLM/software/samsung/Audio here my DualMicState was "0" and EnableDualMic was "1". I changed these as "1" and "0" respectively. And I haven't heard a complaint yet from the other side that my voice is feeble. Pls note that we cant keep both the keys at "1" for it falls back to the original state after a reset and people would no longer hear you.

P.S. I do not know what these reg edits really do. Of desperation I tried something and it seems to have worked. I take no responsibility of your device damage. BUT IT WORKED FOR ME! :D

If someone could explain the real reasons why it worked that would be great.. I am creating tis as a seperate post get some expert to comment on it. Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
It could be that the primary mic broke and by enabling dual mics you have enabled the 2nd mic.

So if your haven't heard about the acer a700 tab.. it is a quad core tablet from acer with a 1080p display!

I was wondering which one would be better for the price.. on a site I saw that the 16gig a700 would be around 700 U.s dollar! While the 32 gig transformer prime is 500

Which on would you guys prefer?
[General Questions and Answers] Kailkti:
Not sure the gpu would cope well with 1080p gaming.

I'd rather stick with 720p for now.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliver:
OK guys, I have seen several threads in various handset forums on this but I can't seem to make any of the suggestions work.

As the title suggests I "just" want to forward an email BCC to a group in my contacts.

If I just select forward in the email itself I can get the BCC box up but can't get a group to show up there.

If I go into contacts and select the group I can send them an email ok but it is, of course, blank. I can find no way to attach/insert the contents of the email that I want to send (as in outlook where you can attach another email).

I'm using GMail BTW so I find it hard to believe that two apps by Google cannot integrate well enough to do such a simple job

Does anyone know a way to achieve this?

Or, does it work in the stock Email app or another 3rd party app?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bengaz:
Try K9 mail.it has a button to forward to cc bcc. The default mail program sucks ass...

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

Just in case you can't find the option as it doesn't appear straight away. Press forward then menu button and then you see"add cc bcc"...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliver:
Does K9 mail find groups in To/BCC box?

Thanks bengaz, I'll give it a go.

Although I can forward bcc the email but I can't get it to show a group that I have set up when I start typing the name of the group into into either To or BCC box.

Does K9 mail show up groups when you type the name in the To/BCC box?
[LG Optimus Black] dsokua:
Hi fellow blackers,

My optimus black was on Nova Rom 2.2 v8:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1161015

And I flashed it to v20n:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1441901

I followed the instructions specifically these two before proceeding with the zip install.

1. Wipe Data/Cache (if not wiped, might cause problem)

2. Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache (same as data/cache, might cause problem)

After flashing, I can't seem to install any app from Market. It says that I have insufficient space on device.

So did some searching (google and here on XDA):

Here are their suggestions:

1. Install Marketfix - unfortunately, I can't install this because it is already saying I have insufficient space.

2. Clear market cache - after clearing (cache and data), I still says insufficient space

3. Uninstall market update - Going to settings - Application - manage application then selecting Market, I don't see any uninstall button. Just Force close, cancel and clear cache, clear data..

4. Finally I saw knzo's supposedly fix for this: Something to do with file system (nova is on EXT4 while stock is on EXT3)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1212370&highlight=insufficient

I wasn't able to try option 1 because the file was removed on all file sharing sites.

Options 2 and 3 - restore factory settings isn't working. The phone is not doing anything after I click Erase everything. It just hangs :(

Any other suggestions? :(
[LG Optimus Black] Artyomperec:
Try reflash ROM with wipe all data and cache in CWM including dalvik cash and formating partitions in "mounts&storage".

Or this!
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
Try wipe cache and dalvik cache...worked for me
[LG Optimus Black] dsokua:
hmm pardon me, but how do I boot into recovery? I tried powering the device on while holding volume down (also tried up and G button) but it didnt reboot into recovery.
[LG Optimus Black] dsokua:
Since I can;t install anything (rom manager etc.), I think I needed to do what you advised.

I was able to flash the stock then started up from there :)
[LG Optimus Black] Artyomperec:
Have you tried flash this MOD for enter in recovery from power off phone pushing "G" button, not pressed and hold, but pushing every time when boot, work for me!
[LG Optimus Black] kingtawon:
just try this

2 days ago I got this problem too, but SOLVED when I upgrade to CWM 5.0.2.6 (from CWM 4.0.1.5) then re-flashing with redy2006 V20N

what version CWM u have?

just try adb reboot recovery from your PC to go to CWM
[LG Optimus Black] dsokua:
Ooh, I didn't update my CWM so I think it was on 4.x.x.x, Was able to flash and install apps in 5.0.2.6 :D

After that, its all smooth! although i found one issue with the market: why it took me ages to load and forever to download an 3,5MB app?? :confused: i deactivated fast dormacy and used set DNS to set it to open DNS, but it didnt help.. :( can anyone please provide me with any help?? Thanks before :)

Note: The market is working both via wifi or data package. My problem here is when i use data package.

you are on the actual latest one. ehh not sure what else you can do mate...Is it just one app that took you forever to download? have you tried your router to switch it off and back on again? or try unistalling the market and just search for the market in themes and apps to reinstall it again...:( my bad bro can not think of anything else other than tthe above or go back to stock rom and try to see if its a rom issue which i doubt it but you have to try everything to see were the problem lies
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kusumalaga:
any app thats bigger than 1MB takes forever to download on my end lol :D

its alright mate, thanks for your replies :)

I didn't either... my internet did not work. Then i reflashed with full wipe and everything worked. market also
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kusumalaga:
actually i did full wipe before flashing because i came from a gingerbread based ROM. Well, the market is working really.. It's just slow you know, very very slow if i might add.

Gday My Lovely Little Lemon Drops!

Just got my new Nook Tablet after an array of issues ive managed to get it delivered to where i'm working... Now this is no easy feat, as im living in Dahab, Egypt.

So i have a question for all of you...

We have currently a few ways to root the nook, but the two main ways that stick out in my head are...

Albertwertz - SD Root

or

Indirect (standard root)

I'm unsure of which is the preferred method of rooting... I mean, which is bug free, fastest and generally 'better'.

I hope you can help out a lone Australian...

Take Care, and Brush Your Hair! :cool:

xx
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
Standard root is just root. There aren't really any kind of 'bugs' that come from gaining superuser access. As well as the fact that it's like a 2 click thing with very little other interaction needed. It does exactly what it should and it does it perfectly.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] steveflack:
So, they are both exactly the same...?

All it comes down to is which is the easiest root!?

With the SD root, does the data stay on the sd card? are there any problems that can come from either root!?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
From what I gather, the sdcard root by Albert is just a convenience of already having all of the needed files, plus some extra added goodies all in 1 place for ease of use. It still uses the same rooting methods. Both are using Indirect's Nook&Zergy. Which is a permanent root (permanent until you revert back to stock via aclaim.zip)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
I believe you hit the menu button and then hit edit, you might be able to. It's either that or in the apps grid, hit menu and go into the settings there.

There is no dedicated camera button on the phone, and no ROM has remapped a key for the camera, as you'd be losing some other functionality.
