[HTC Rezound] Durthquake:
My friend and I both have Rezounds. I have yet to get the update, he had Scott's ICS ROM on his. The update forced itself onto his phone and bricked it. When he went to the store, the reps told him the update seems to be doing this to alot of people (rep said they saw 10 of them today!). Anyone else have the OTA brick a ROM's phone or even stock?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
No, but I am sure if you have a custom recovery on your phone with a custom rom an official update sure isn't going to help :)..but I figured it would just error out. How did it brick it ? he was unable to load Hboot anymore ?
[HTC Rezound] Durthquake:
It went to the HTC screen and stayed there, when tried to go-to recovery it wouldn't work, eventually screen went black and wouldn't turn on, or even charge!
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Could you get into hboot and run the ruu? If you can do that, the phone isn't bricked...
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I suspect the no charging is due to running the battery down all the way. There's a thread or two about that issue. I think the solution was to pull the battery, plug in the charger then put the battery back in while phone is connected to charger. Then you might have to wait up to 30 minutes for the light to turn on and for it to start charging.

And yeah, if you can boot into hboot you should be able to get the phone back with RUU or if the ROM is fine then flash Amon Ra recovery in fastboot.
[HTC Rezound] Durthquake:
It didn't allow anything to be done in hboot. It won't even turn on now, i have him my battery to try and still doesn't turn on.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Well read through this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1434532

and see if you can at least get it charged up again. Then go from there.
[HTC Rezound] vcmstone:
Both me and my wife have had the OTA for at least a week and we have not had any issues with the OTA.

Also, I must say, this is the first time I have heard of the OTA causing bricking of the unit.
[HTC Rezound] nosit1:
If you can't get it charged, try the writing hack to get it involved. Basically you just take a regular usb cable and snip the connector off. From there you take the ground and the power, and then you put the ground and power to the battery in the respective places. Worked for a bad Atrix flash that killed my battery.
[HTC Rezound] Durthquake:
I hadn't heard of it bricking it till I saw it first hand... As far as charging, it's a non issue since I have my friend my fully charged battery to try and wouldn't turn on. (Note that this is happened only after it stayed on the HTC screen for about 30 minutes, so it may have overheated or something during that time?)
[HTC Rezound] drtnsnw:
It bricked my stock Rezound. Could not have happened on a worse day to. I had to do a factory reset to get it to come back. Real PIA

[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
That's not a brick. That's a pain in the ass.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
+1

a brick is just what it is.. a brick.

which means the phone is done. you can't use it again.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
If it can get to the HTC screen, it isn't bricked. Put your battery in his phone and see if it can get to HBOOT.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I don't think you can write off the battery/charging issue. It takes some time for people who have let their battery fully drain to get the phone to charge it again although they were able charge on an external charger iirc. Anyway, point is it may be the phone not the battery that needs to "wake up" (for lack of a better term) again.

So definitely go through that dead battery charging thread and try everything in there to get the phone to charge the battery again. Then you'll know the phone is functioning as it should, atm it may not be.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
I don't understand how the the OTA forced itself since all of Scotts ROMs are debloated. Everyone that rooted and debloated running stock, said that the update failed in recovery, I know I witnessed it on mine. Being on an ICS build, one would think that the update wouldn't even be downloaded.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
yeah it is strange. Even if I force check for update on my Rez the update doesn't come. Are you sure your friend is telling you the whole story?
[HTC Rezound] nowhereman1223:
I am said friend.

Durthquake sits in the cube next to me. He watched the whole event transpire.

Here's what happened and what was tried and the resolution,

Rezound reboots to the HTC screen. Won't show the think brilliantly words. Just stayed on HTC.

So I did a battery pull and rebooted phone and same thing. Just HTC.

Now I reboot to recovery, get hboot and try to do a wipe. It blinks like its going to try to go to recovery then turns off.

Do another battery pull boot maneuver and it does the same thing.

As we are at work I did have to work so I leave it on the stock wall charger for about an hour and try to turn on again. HTC screen so I leave it to see what happens, maybe I didn't wait long enough.

Like 35 minutes later screen goes black.

Now it won't power on, won't go to hboot, basically a brick. So I pull my battery give it to durthquake who gives me his rezound battery. His phone turns on, mine doesn't.

Now I try pulling sim, sdcard, and putting my battery back in. Still nada. Phone be properly bricked.

Bring it home put sim, sdcard, and battery back in and put on HTC wall charger overnight. In the am nothing. Still a pretty beats brick.

Go to vzw and the try charging turning on etc. Nada. They say since the ota they've had about 5 of these in.

The resolution is vzw sending me a new rezound and I buying a new phone so I can give the resound to my gf.

Well, there's a new root method making the rounds so I think we'll se a way to get it done in the next few days.

Now, I've been trying the rom for several hours and I can say that the OS feels very smooth and stable. I haven't had any problems with ram so far (which I did have with redy's rom).

[LG Optimus Black] Marco_Mena:
Yup, but just a little bit. The most interesting part I found when comparing this against the euro ones is that the ram is not being eaten away. Dunno why but the versions I've tried were always laggy after some use.

The only bad thing is that we can't root yet...

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mardenator:
So i recently unrooted my B90 Transformer, after hearing that Asus would give us ICS. I'm back on the stock ROM now, and it updated to the 8.6.5.21 firmware already. Changed my mind last night, and decided to root it again, because there will probably be a handful of better ICS ROMs out there soon enough. So I searched several different forums for a way to root the .21 firmware, and almost all of them gave me NachoRoot, but they said it only works on some B70 and below devices. I didn't even try that one, because I don't use ADB and don't have it set up.

I tried RazorClaw, didn't work. Tried this method, no dice. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
NachoRoot should work for you. It has nothing to do with the SBK so it doesn't matter

if you're pre or post B70.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mardenator:
NachoRoot requires ADB, which I don't have, nor do I have much experience with. Hence the reason I didn't use it. Unless there's a different NachoRoot that automates the process, it's a no go for me. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seg2012:
Try this it is an automated version of Nacho. Originally for Prime, but reports of ppl with TF101 using it.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
It'sa zip, just unzip it your desktop. I remember someone saying something about turning off Norton antivirus

for them to get it working.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seg2012:
Doesnt matter if its zip or rar. Just make sure you extract it. I have just downloaded again and tested without my tf in and cmd prompt comes straight up

Lol. Forgot you had mentioned you rooted before. Right after i clicked to post i said to myself you probably already knew that.:D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna_c666:
Couldn't all of this been accomplished by putting the 8.6.5.19 ROM image on the external SD card and using stock recovery to flash it to downgrade from 8.6.5.21 and then download razorclaw? Or does this not work on a B90..I'm confused about people using nachoroot when razorclaw has been out and worked so well for me everytime I've gone back to stock for whatever reason..

I rooted my TF and never had to touch a PC.. :confused:

Unless you just want root access but otherwise stock ROM/recovery on a device that is >.19 (who would want to do that? lol) I don't get it. If you are flashing a custom ROM just start with 8.6.5.19 stock and can do whatever you want from there as custom ROMs are already based on newer firmware.

Unless I am missing something, OP made this seem more complicated imo
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
With the firmware update to 8.6.5.21 Asus closed the loop hole to use RazorClaw. You can't downgrade to 8.6.5.19 (even if you can find a copy).

There is however 8.6.6.19 that's for the TF101G that you can use

to downgrade to. The 8.6.6.19 will allow the use of RazorClaw. NachoRoot/ViperMod is not that hard really. Sure a one click root is always nice.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna_c666:
That's what i thought, downgrading to 8.6.5.19 or 8.6.6.19 sounds like easier, just dl the files (they are available readily if you look in the right places), put on your sd card, flash through recovery, install razor claw, root, install recovery installer app, boom cwm installed, then you can flash rogue recovery to get up to date and flash whatever rom you want, you can even flash the 8.6.5/6.21 rom if you want to stay stock rooted and up to date, all can be done without even having a pc right from the tf. Like i said, this method used by the op sounds overly complex.

Edit: sorry i thought i read your post say it was possible to downgrade, but see you said you can't downgrade...??? What do you mean you can't downgrade, i have done it already?

Edit 2: re read it again see you said you can't downgrade to 8.6.5.19, but can downgrade to 8.6.6.19 which is what i did..i forgot it is an "upgrade" from 8.6.5.21 since 6>5 the tf sees it as an upgrade rather than downgrade..

Hello,

First of all, sorry if this has been already discussed but I haven't been able to find it with the search option.

Now to the point. In my x10 Mini Pro I have tried several media (avi, mostly) player apps in the market like BSPlayer (this worked the best), MX video player and QQPlayer but with none of them I get a proper watch. With this I mean that audio / video would desynchronize some seconds. I use a 16 gb kingmax sdcard class 10 (so it says), with Read Speed 17'4 MB/s.

Does anyone know if this issue is because of the smartphone's hardware?

Thanks!

I've tried everything to get my unrooted WiFi Tab to boot into recovery mode. I hold down power and vol down, see "Samsung Galaxy Tab" and then...I'm expecting to see the Odin/recovery menu. Instead, the screen goes black and shows the "Samsung Galaxy Tab" logo again. And again. As long as I hold down he power/volume buttons, it does this. When I stop holding them down, it boots normally. How do I get to the recovery menu so I can finally root this thing?

I am having the same issue. I am using a Verizon LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. It is the 16GB gray model. The baseband version says i905.03 V.EL01 or SCH-I905.EL01 and it's running Android 3.2. Not sure what else you need. Here's what I've tried.

Scenario 1:

1. Powered the tablet off.

2. Press and hold the power and volume down buttons.

What happens: Nothing. It just sits at a black screen and I never see the Samsung logo. I have to let go of the volume down button, press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds, let go of the power button. Then the tablet boots normally.

Scenario 2:

1. Tablet on and sitting at my home screen.

2. Press and hold the power and volume down buttons.

3. Once the Samsung Galaxy Tab logo shows up, I let go of the power button and only hold the volume down button.

What happens: The tablet boots like normal or it boots into Safe Mode.

So what am I doing wrong? I don't understand why I can't get into download(Odin) mode.

I got into the CWM recover menu to factory reset and wipe all cache folders used ADB to push Android Open Kang Project - p4wifi (build 21) followed instructions to a T... Rebooted and started the first time setup of ICS and it froze and rebooted just like the other ROM before. I re-flashed the ROM with out Gapps and factory reset. Rebooted and it got to the home screen and froze again after about 30 seconds. I turned it off (by holding the power button down). Now when I try to turn it on it does nothing. Hold power and vol - it does nothing. Plugged it into the wall to charge it does nothing. Power and vol + does nothing a well. Plugged it to my PC the drivers are no longer found... Tried everything the only signs of life are the fact that when its plugged to the PC the drivers don't install (listed as APX under other devices) and power + vol + makes a 3 beep tone on my windows idk what that means...
