[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technikaity:
Hey all,

My Galaxy S2 won't turn on, I have tried a soft and hard reset, I have tried to boot into recovery and into download mode, I have removed the battery for 30 mins and tried again, I have tried another battery. The phone seems to be on as the battery/top of the phone is still warm, any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
What did you do before this state? Flashed a rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:

when you connect to pc what is the uotcome? maybe you can boot to recovery via ADB?

but try a jig first

Hello everyone,

my Wildfire dont boot anymore, if i press the Powerbutton it Vibrates but the Screen is Black but i can boot the Bootloader and the Screen is Running, but i cannot can go to the Recovery Menu or anything else.

Do someone know this problem and can give me a solution to fix it?

Thanks for your help and sorry for my horrible English xD
[General Questions and Answers] moonzbabysh:
Pull the battery for about 10 seconds and then insert and power on, see if that helps. Did you put your screen brightness on either the lowest or highest setting before it going black?

[General Questions and Answers] Metalschnulli:
Nope, i took the Battery off and after 5mins back but without any success.

I did not chanced any Brightness of it. At the Weekend i have checked my emails at 3pm and at around 6pm i want to look for facebook but the screen does not turned on anymore, so i removed the Battery but it wont boot anymore, no Bootscreenlogo, nothing.

I saw that i'm in the General discoussion and not in the Wildfire forum :( can anyone move it into?

THX

EDIT: I just load now a RUU and i think the Wildfire Boots up into Android cause it makes that HTC Jingle at the Bootscreen, offcourse without any sign of life of the Display. But the Screen cannot be broken cause in the Bootloader it lights up the only thing that the Wildfire freezes so i get no access to the recovery or anything else.
[Kindle Fire General] Serial_Noob:
So I've been programming off and on since the Commodore 64, but I've been out of it for a while (lack of time) and I'm just getting back into it. Now I'm interested in Android development, which I see is done on Java. I've done C and C++ programming, including up-close-and-personal-with-the-hardware programming, but I haven't done Java. I've also done Unix, HP-UX, and Linux shell scripting, so I have about an intermediate understanding of the unix flavors.

What are some good resources to get up to speed on Android, Java, and the various custom ROMs? I'm interested in any and all recommendations, and I have a rooted KF and an old Droid I replaced but still have around that I can use for a test lab.
[Kindle Fire General] Serial_Noob:
Wow. So many helpful replies!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tracerit:
It seems that on Calkulin's ROM, the new version of Google Maps has a serious wakelock issue. I googled the offending wakelock ("networklocationpassivecollector") and the only solution is to go back to a pre 6.0 version. Thing is that I can't uninstall Google Maps, it'll let me uninstall updates, but it'll still be version 6.0 that's causing the problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gedster314:
Have you tried using root explorer and going into /system/apps click the mount RW button on top and delete the google maps? Then install the older version that you want.

You could also remove it with Abd. Google that process.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tracerit:
ended up using Titanium Backup. works perfectly!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] neidlinger:
Download from here http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager, under MyTouch4G, not Glacier

Store in your ADB folder

Change your drive to your ADB folder

push the recovery to your SD Card

adb push recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.0-glacier.img /mnt/sdcard

Flash the recovery image.

cd c:\adb
c:adb> adb shell
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.0-glacier.img

test it

reboot recovery

should look like this

C:\adb>adb push recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.0-glacier.img /mnt/sdcard

I am not taking credit for this work. Koush is an awesome developer and deserves the respect.

You can also buy the app from the Clockwork ROM manager for 2.ooUSD.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Nicgraner:
Thanks neidlinger, although couldn't you just do

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] neidlinger:
Yes. If you have the engineering hBoot.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] estallings15:
You can also do it in terminal emulator.

Make sure you have flash_image binary in /system/bin. If not, google it and drop it there. Rename recovery to recovery.img and place in root of sd.

In TE type:

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

And that's it!

Edit: if that doesn't work, move the recovery image to /system/bin and, in TE, type:

su

cd /system/bin

./flash_image recovery recovery.img
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Nicgraner:
Ah...forgot. that's why it won't fast boot flash...I just had to get a replacement and was wondering why it wasn't working.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Why do we need a second ClockworkMod Touch thread in the dev section?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] blackwing182:
well this more complete becouse this have a tu torial and people that doesent have mony to buy the app can easy go the free way! :)

i think that he dosent see the post!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
The sticky has a tutorial...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] estallings15:
I forgot that bloody sticky was there. XDA app has those in a separate tab. Lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] coupetastic-droid:
I bought the app. I like. Faster and easier than using the track pad.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Orical:
Serious question, is this worth using and does it provide something other than touch screen options for the user?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] estallings15:
It looked to be exactly the same as regular CWM recovery as far as menu's are concerned. Zero eye candy or extra features. That's what I saw. Anyone else want to confirm or deny this?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] neidlinger:
I didn't see it. I posted this from my tablet and didn't look at the sticky. This is my first double post ever on XDA. I can use my mulligan.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] romuloxiii:
Yeah, i'm loving the touch recovery!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] coupetastic-droid:
Touch version is same as regular. No eye candy. Like I said on the other clockwork touch thread, I don't care for the eye candy on a recovery. I leave the eye candy for the roms. I love the simplicity of clockwork.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bmakk2055:
4ext touch recovery is much better.

1. It backs up and restores much faster.

2. It has a battery percentage also
[myTouch 4G Android Development] estallings15:
It also has a better wipe menu, allows converting filesystem types of individual partitions, and the sd partition management is great.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
With more features, comes more potential for instability. I prefer stability and reliability over eye candy and useless features.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] estallings15:
Useless to you. I've used a LOT of the extra features. To each his own, dude.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] neidlinger:
Then why troll this thread?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
Can't get it to flash either way, via TE or adb.....
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
I flashed tdj cm7 and I uses the terminal and flashed that way

Out of love for you.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pinguo777:
Wow! Such hostility over a recovery! Can't we all just get along? Anyways.... I've used both recoveries and they are both good. Thank u for sharing the new touch recovery with us and the commands to flash it. I like it and think its faster than scrolling with my track pad or volume buttons.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
Guys, I found an easier way. I used android flasher and I flash the recovery with no hassle. And it worked. Search android flasher in xda, its in a zip file.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] estallings15:
Oh if that came off as hostile or anything other than good fun, I apologize. I was kidding around.

Actually the reason I am "trolling" is because I found out about alternatives to things I was using in threads where I wasn't looking for them in the past. So I dropped a good word for a recovery I like. When it was bashed I defended it. No big deal. I've nothing against CWM recovery - touch or standard.

Koush makes great stuff.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] neidlinger:
These words are black and white, you have no idea how they were posted, or in what tone of voice. :cool:

I'm by no ways being hostile.

If you want to make me mad, tell me Popeye's Chicken is filing chapter 11.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Orical:
Its going to be a better recovery more so for people with older devices whom have been flashing longer considering button wear or even broken buttons.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] estallings15:
Mmmm, Popeyes....
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Orical:
+1 on that, they have the BEST mashed potatoes too lmao....

Yup. Me too. I really don't charge my device while powered off so not a biggie for me at the moment.

Hello.

I installed the PYRO ICS. it works great. thanks for all the effort. I have one issue, If my phone shuts down due to law battery, it does not turn back on by pressing power button. i have to remove battery and sim card and only then it powers on.

This is reproducible every time. i have wiped the cache once and also have 5.0.2.7 cowomod.

Please advise.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Braccoz:
you mean after you recharge it?

or just after it shuts down? because that would be intentional behaviour then
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] deepchhaya1:
off course after charging it :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
Are you running a stock battery or an Anker? If I run my Anker down to nothing and it shuts down it won't

charge on USB. I have to pull it and put it on the external charger that came with my two batteries. I don't have this problem with the stock battery.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] deepchhaya1:
I am not sure of the different types of battery. I think my issue is that the phone does not turn on. it charges fine.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
Stock battery is black and has HTC printed on it. The Anker is White and has, well, "Anker" printed on it. If you have a bad battery it could cause any number of issues. You might try flashing back to your stock nandroid and see if that helps (Isolating software issues from hardware symptoms).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
Are you using the old madaco recovery? If so update your recovery in rom manager, that should fix it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
If your phone shuts down due to low battery, instead of taking the battery out to try to get it to go on, try this while having your phone plugged in:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1242450

I'm in pyro-ice too, and it works for me !

It also helps a lot when it freezes. I hope this helps.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
i think your problem is different. Isnt the lights of your phone on the buttons still on when this happen? Are you sure the battery is off?

It might be "just" the blackouts of screen that some users have. I had some too, but changing to Trebuchet launcher seems to help with that. In the upcoming 1.0.2 release ROM will run Trebuchet, hopefully it will help with your problem.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] deepchhaya1:
I read your 1.1.0 thread where you mentioned that the phone cannot be turned on when plugged in. thats what i was doing. I didn't try removing the charger and then turn on. thanks for the help.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] akaSurfer:

This is a very silly concept, sorry... The BPM app that uses your camera works, because it can accurately register pulse rate from the capillaries in the tip of your finger. This app can no better guess a person's heart rate by looking at their face than I can...

Awesome app..

Can you add an option for using camera's flash as the source of light?

that would be an icing to the cake :)

Thanks for the suggestion. However, we are not sure whether your friends will feel comfortable, when there is a spot light projected to him, while you are helping him to take the heart rate reading?

Anyhow, we will do a usability study and see how it goes.

Thanks for the feedback.

The sound is a continuous clicking sound, like when a blood pressure monitor's motor is pumping the air. I tought this was intended. :)
