Thanks for all the condolences/suggestions/appreciation of Zelda!

There is. There are 4 in fact. :)

I put it under all my blankets in bed with the mattress pad heater (best investment ever for cold climates, btw) on high for 9 hours while I was away. I came home to a nice warm bowl of dry rice and the smell of grain. lol

Indeed. I broke it, I'll buy a new one.

I've always considered the initial water entry the cause of the damage... short circuits and whatnot. All it takes is a millisecond of water or other conductor in the wrong place to fry some of those IC's.

I've washed a USB stick (I'm not this clumsy I promise... it came off my keychain and I didn't know about it) and got it out of the dryer later, plugged it in and it still worked fine - since there was no voltage when it got wet. IC's are waterproof so once the contacts and other exposed gold/tin parts are dry it should be good to power on.

At least that's my theory. I could be way off base! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
please keep us updated, good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chjade84:
Updated you shall be!

SHE'S ALIVE!!!!!!!

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

9 or so hours in rice on a heating pad under some fleece blankets and she's alive! There isn't any noticeable damage either! Both cameras are fantastic, no water or water spots under the screen, sound is good, all buttons work and the response is great as well! Charging and USB connections work fine.

Except.... I don't have any signal and when I go to make a call it says "Mobile Network Not Available"

I wonder if the SIM card is shot. I'd hate to think EVERYTHING works on my phone except the phone part... but that is how my luck generally works. I'll go to the store in the morning and get a new SIM.

Oh, how I hope it's the SIM...

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
that's such a beautiful sight!

hope the new sim fixes the problem! if not, try wiping/resetting everything and do it over from scratch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wongandrew:
thats great news! hopefully its just a sim card issue!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Adreno:
My Galaxy Nexus used to make calls...then it took a rinse cycle to the knee...

I am kidding, I am sure its just a sim OP. Sim cards can be kind of touchy in my experience. Good luck bro.

If it ends up being something other than the sim, and you don't have insurance on it yet, you can still add asurion insurance up to 30 days after you purchase. Then instead of 649 it will only be 100. Insurance has saved me numerous times.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ElectroM:
I haven't dropped mine in water or anything like that, but I have seen one of mine with absolutely no service like you now have. It was after flashing the 4.03 radios. After numerous attempts to get service involving pulling batteries, sim card, reflashing 4.02 and 4.03 radios, etc I decided I would have to return it. I had the phone rooted so I downloaded and flashed (using Wug's Gnex Toolkit) the stock 4.02 image. After the phone finished rebooting I had service. I then made several attempts to flash the radios and ended up with no service every time, requiring the stock image flash. I don't know if you have tried this, but if not, it might be something you could try. Good luck and keep us posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Nuts! Congrats, hopefully a new SIM makes it 100%. I may wash mine tonight and see if I can have it up and running in 8, yeah 8, hours ;)

Try reinstalling the new 4.0.4 radios and if that still doesn't do it, take it to the Verizon store and they might still be able to reactivate for you before you have to replace it. Be sure to tell them what brand of detergent you used :p

Terminators run on Android :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chjade84:
I went to the store and got a new SIM but that didn't fix it. :(

Factory reset doesn't work either. :(

I'm going to take it apart again and make sure I didn't miss a micro flex cable like I did with the power button. I got it all back together the first time and it wouldn't power on so I took it apart again and noticed the 2mm wide power flex connector wasn't attached all the way to the board. Reassembled and it turned on.

There are a lot of TINY cables that need to be attached in there! lol

It's Galaxy Pack by maxelus.net. It's a live wallpaper with customizable galaxies. There's zero lag with it and it doesn't use any battery compared to static (at least not noticeable). It's $1.99 but well worth the money.

He has other free galaxies but most aren't re-done for 720x1280 resolution yet. They are awesome too, though.

Dropped my D1 in the toilet (before I dropped my bombs) and got it working with the rice trick.

But I got caught in a nasty thunderstorm on my moto and it crapped out.

Right choice man and I applaud your efforts so far.

Hope you succeed.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
In the case of milk, or most other liquids that are not pure water, drying in rice will not suffice. The device must be taken apart ASAP and rinsed/cleaned with aqua dest. or isopropanol. Otherwise corrosive damage may occur later.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chjade84:
So I bought a new Nexus today. Looks like the old one won't be making calls again. :(

HOWEVER, now that I've factory reset the phone it can't get past the activation screen rendering an otherwise usable phone, useless.

I want to be honest and not try and scam my way into getting a new phone/sending my old one back but if they won't let me use a phone I paid for TWICE, legitimately, I may have to do something about it.

This is why we can't have nice things...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
I'm really sorry but that story was quite funny.. "Well that's like you asking KFC's secret recipe" haha. I think it's very wise you didn't give your phone to him.

Good luck fixing it! Disassembly for me would go about as far as taking the battery out. You sound like you know what you're doing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sleuth255:
use the old one as a dev phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmprodan:
Did you try the trick of going from the top left corner around the phone corner to corner to get past the Activation screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chjade84:
Yup. Also tried volume up/down etc. Even waited over 3 hours for activation to time out. Guess Samsung will be getting back... something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] realfelix:
lol what a story man :D bad luck tbh :D

btw whats that wallpaper on the 3rd picture?

sorry for the phone though ..

@OP, just in case you didn't know, phones have stickers in them which turn red upon contact with liquid. This could cause problems for you if you try to send the phone to Samsung or try to get an exchange.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vanburner:
This is a really great thread as it reveals what should be done when a phone has been baptised. IMO being persistent with a re-clean of the phone to rid it of dried soap and a reassemble will pay off. Thanks for sharing and good luck on your phones rebirth.

Hi everybody, lately, I'm wanting to get rid of Sony themes and annoying apps, and install a Stock ICS.

But as an avid FIFA 12 player, but I'm worried if this game will work, because it's exclusive for Xperia Play.

So, will it work?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
If you go completely AOSP, and use a rom with NO Sony (Ericcson) material you will lose the touchpads and may also lose the directional buttons and the 4 shapes buttons as they are specific to the Sony software. You should still be able to use the touch screen with the game but that is if it will even load. I believe there are Stock Gingerbread roms with some Sony stuff left in it so that it will still use the full touchpads and game controller, if I am wrong someone please correct me but from what I have read this is what I found no Sony specific software isntalled no game controller. Like CM7 no touchpads or game controller and if there is support its only on a limited number of games like Shadowgun, etc.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puelocesar:
Thanks for the answer!

So, I have to install a Rom based on Sony, uninstall all crap, based on a list of safe removal it can be found on this forum, and then keep hours customizing it to look like the original thing...

Damn!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
For speed and ease of use this is what I do. I use titanium to backup all my apps. Then I do a Custom Recovery backup before trying a new ROM. Then wipe and flash teh new ROM, then once its all booted up, I use titanium to remove the system apps, then restore the apps you have backed up you want to restore. I did a full blank slate on my phone 2 weeks ago an what used to take hours took about 30 minutes. But yeah it sucks, this method just makes it suck a little less. And when you restore from Titanium it will at least restore all your apps data. so like I restored my GO launcher and all my wallpapers and widgets were restored as well.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rfronz1:
hello all, just picked up the Nook Tablet (16g) - and of course i am wanting to root it. i have followed all the instructions from turning on USB debugging and updating my Drivers so the device is recognized as Android ADB (which took a long time) now i am trying to run the NookandZergy.bat file. it will not show any devices here. not sure what i am doing wrong.. i have tried several times and no joy. i am doing all of this with Win7 system if that matters ( i tried running Zergy as administrator also).

i am sure this problem has come up in the forums already but i have yet to find an answer yet.

thank you

just use sd card method? takes 10 min no adb needed
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bdeweese:
I can't help you as far as the method you described above is concerned, but I can tell you from having rooted mine several times now that Albert's SD Card method (version 4.50) is super simple and has worked great for me. No Windows drivers to mess with, etc. He lays it out pretty straightforward. I use a 4gb SD card - can't remember if a 2gb will work or not. Give it a try if you got an sd card laying around.

Hi,

What is easiest, latest and safest way to root NT 1.4.1 ?

This one from Brianf21, which looks simple ?

Bootable Root SDCard 1.4.0 and 1.4.1

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1488035

Or any other SD card method (like the one mentioned above - Albert Wertz's SDNTV4.5) ?

What are advantages of each ?

Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nba1341:
thats the method i used literally after booting up tablet and making screen work i powered it down and rooted it using that image file. It all just depends on what you want if you want debloated no B&N stuff or you want stock but rooted with OTA updates blocked.

Personally I just rooted so I could install CWM and install cm7 I had no interest in stock or anything B&N.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] M_B:
Thanks nba1341.

I would like to keep B&N funcionality, but prevent OTA and be able to download/install apps from different android markets and web sites. Also, I would like to be able to unroot the device if necessary (go back to original B&N software).

Which SD method should I use (Brianf21 ?) ?

And one final question before I start the work, do I need to go through initial registration process on my brand new 16 GB NT ver 1.4.1 before starting the rooting procedure ?

I hope that rfronz1 will find this clarification useful too.

Thanks for help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] badbeatjackpot:
Hi guys. I wanted to post this question under this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1322642

but I don't have enough posts and am not allowed to post there yet.

I love the Juggernaut ROM and its worked great for me thus far. (Thanks for all your hard work Team Kang)

However, I've come across my first problem with it.

Actually I don't know if its my phone or the Rom but when I try using Adownloader for torrents, my phone shuts down to black screen.

I then have to play with it for a while (plug it into power source, unplug, battery pull, etc) to be able to power it up again

My thoughts were initially that maybe my phone couldnt handle the wifi speed 2.5 mbps download and that it overheats which causes the shutdown but I downloaded an app that checks temperature and my batter temp never goes up past 36 degrees celcius (96.8 Fahrenheit) and has even shut down at low temps like 26 degrees celcius (78.8 Fahrenheit).

So I've found out that overheat isnt the issue.

I've searched all over the net and this is the only other instance I can find. Coincidently the guy is also using Juggernaut 4.1 on T989

http://www.reddit.com/comments/ojfw3/can_we_really_not_torrent_directly_to_our_phone/?sort=old

Is my problem due to the Bullet kernel being overclocked to 1.8?

Please help as it would be GREAT to download movies to my phone @ 2.5 mbps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
I had this problem once and gave up on torrenting. My immediate advice would be to flash a another kernel as bullets is relatively unstable compared to others
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] badbeatjackpot:
Thanks for the tip

I just flashed the darkside kernel.

Hopefully this does the trick.

I will report back when I go home and check

edit.

One big improvement I've noticed so far is that my what's app receives messages when I haven't opened what's app.

Previously, if I rebooted my phone or close what's app, I wont receive any messages until I opened up the app but now I get all messages without opening up the app.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] idtheftvictim:
I am using Jugg's 5.0, and have this problem also. I have been having it ever since I flashed juggs 4.1. I am running stock kernel, so it isn't the kernel either. I am trying to run a log cat to see if a DEV can maybe see what the true issue is.

Once I get a logcat of it crashing, I will send to whitehawkx and see if he can help.

I know that I have seen posts on this, I have searched and searched.

I am trying to get back to bone stock and there are some great guides.

The problem I am having is my computer will not recognize my phone all of a sudden.

I have rebooted phone, and computer. I have tried all 3 USB ports on my computer.

It will not recognize my phone with htc sync (just installed) or the regular way.

How to I relock the bootloader if I cant even get adb to recognize the device?

Thanks in advance

[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Ok, check under your "device manager" when you have the phone plugged in. You should see it under "HTC ADB device" or "Android ADB Device" if you don't see it there, your drivers may not be working properly. Also does the phone go into charge mode when plugged in? Do you have USB debugging turned on?
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
OK its not there. So the drivers arent working right. Odd. Do you know where I can get the drivers again?
[HTC Rezound] mpalatsi:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=HTC+rezound+drivers
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
I feel stupid.....I googled the drivers, just like in the link you sent me. I tried before I asked the question too. All the links are saying htc sync drivers, and all point to the software to sync phone to computer. I already have that. I did find a link to the actual drivers but it was broken.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Try this one:

http://mypcdominion.com/Files/android/ROM_Tools/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
thats the one I have on my computer now. I redownloaded that one. But it wont let me install it or anything. I even turned my antivirus off.

I click on it, and it asks for permission. I say yes, and thats it. Nothing happens. I really cant be that computer illierate? can I? lol
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
If it's already installed then there's not much you can do. When you plug your phone in, it's in charge mode right? Not USB Mass storage or HTC Sync?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Uninstall and reinstall the htc sync and drivers. Then reinstall htc sync and the drivers, then uninstall htc sync only.

Then try a different usb port than usual. Maybe try hooking up your phone while it is in Hboot when you try to ruu or something.
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
There's no way I'll ever give you better advice than this guy. But if you still can't get anywhere, I could probably get on team viewer and take a look at your computer and see what I can figure out about your driver issue.
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
Yes its in charge mode. Except when I plug it in now I don't have any options. I used to get a menu when I plugged in my phone. I would have the option to charge or use as disc drive (something like that)

would that have messed it up?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Shouldn't. I just reinstalled HTC Sync this past weekend to RUU and I still have it, although I flashed a custom ROM since then but that shouldn't make any difference.
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling exactly like you said. Still no dice. Tried other ports too. I can't run the ruu without being relocked.

[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
What would happen if I did a factory reset thru fastboot? I mean I know I will loose everything......
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Do you need to be locked? Or do you just want to be stock again? If you don't need to be locked there's a couple stock ROMs you can flash.

Do you have a custom recovery still? You'd have to flash stock recovery which is somewhere in the dev section, scrosler has it linked somewhere.
