[Focus General] daniel_leavitt2000:
Well, I did it. I broke my phone. I rolled over it with my dispatch chair while answering a 911 call last week. While the outside glass is intact and scratchless, the OLED/digitizer layer underneeth is crasked and useless.

So I tried to get a replacment used focus off eBay. It came last night and I noticed it was running build 7004! I was thinking to myself that I had a few hours of upgrades before bed when I realized there was a reason for this. The phone has some sort of hardware fault that prevents it from syncing with Zune.

Since this prevents me from using 95% of the phone's software, apps, and features I made arrangments with the seller to return the item. So now I'm back at square one.

Anyone have an old, fully working Focus they are willing to part with for a reasonable fee?

Anyone have a broken focus with a working screen that I can put into the Focus? I believe the main board on my phone is working correctly, so all I would need to do is transport the main board into the body of a Focus with a working screen.

Thanks!

What is the best root program for the captivate I tried a couple like super one click and unlocker root neither worked on my phone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baghera1979:
I used super one click way back when I first started. It should work just fine.

please help me towards getting a unlocked sgs2 skyrocket. :'(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capocaccia:
What ROM are you running? Anything 2.2 or below can be rooted with super one click but newer ROMs need other methods. If it is a gingerbread ROM (2.3) then there is a thread in development about how to root.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pswatts0122178:
Yes it's 2.3.5

if the computer is recognising your device there should be no error while rooting with soc rooting gb takes much more time than froyo

if you can use odin then you can flash corn kernel which have a cwm recovery and that recovery can also root your device (not all cwm recovery root device)

My try at it.

tried soc (v2.3.3.0) rooting gb. soc sees my phone gets to step 7 and hangs. I let it run for up to 30 minutes.

anyone else see this or have any suggestions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
if you have installed the drivers on that time then restart the computer and device completely then connect and try again it will not hang also you can flash corn kernel through Odin read my fifth post on this thread

wrong... I used superoneclick root yesterday. works fine. and takes 2 minutes. faster than your kernel swap.

but you know what? you would be right if you ran the old froyo version on gingerbread... imagine that when gingerbread came out, they updated the tool...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GripR:
First I apologize for starting a new thread for this, since I did create a new thread earlier today on receiving my phone, but right now I have a problem.

The phone I bought is apparently an M200 and was updated to Stock ICS (according to other members on this board). Well I got off work an hour ago, and went to the T-Mobile store to open a line, but before I did, I wanted to make sure the phone would work, so they inserted an active sim card and the phone just says no sim card installed, or something in those lines. We waited about 5 minutes hoping the phone would recognize the sim card, but it didn't. Then the T-Mobile rep took the sim card out and told me that my sim card slot looks funny.

Here is the pic of the sim card slot.

The T-Mobile rep showed me a Galaxy S2 sim card slot and #2 and #3 had "prongs" but my phone doesn't.

When I tilt the phone to look "inside" the slot I do see the other two, but it looks like it's flat?

Can someone here please help me confirm that is something wrong with my sim card slot or is it software base?

Thank you!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehgeekguy:
I can only tell you what my i9020a shows, and that's all 3 prongs. I can't say for sure how the m200 is supposed to look, but I assume it would be the same.

The SIM card slot should have 3 pins on top. You might want to check whether Korean SIM cards are different, or you bought a faulty product...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
I just opened mine up, the bastard thing about Samsung is the connectors of each different models have different number of pins, so you can't even switch them even if the slot seems to fit, your only chance is to solder a replacement if you know how.

Otherwise it will cost you $80 to replace it with Samsung USA out of warranty. Or buy a broken Nexus S.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojoost:
Isn't this hardware guaranty (correct English??). Return it to Samsung, or to where you bought your phone!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GripR:
I just got off the phone with Samsung USA technical support. They said since my phone is an international model, they cannot support/repair it.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GripR:
Do you guys think a i9020A or i9020T sim card slot would be the same as my M200?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _hito_:
I have M200 and it's the same slot you are talking about, may be its the software problem, cause when i had HTC WFS and i flashed new version of custom rom the problem was as same that no sim card so i'd change my rom and every things work fine..

I have 3 pins at upper side, 'll add some pictures when i get reach my home..

Root and try another Rom, there are official stock roms available in the development thread..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildta:
Any luck snapping photos of your SIM slot? Similar to the OP, my I9020T lacks pins 1, 2 and 3. I rooted to stock ROM but it's still not working.

So here's my problem. I'm temporarly using the samsung intercept. Everything is stock on it except its rooted. Well at least that's what it says. All I'm trying to do is instal cm01 recovery.. I don't have a computer atm. And I've tried the rootintercept apk and the flashimage gui.. what am I doing wrong. Thanks in advanced for the help.

If you use flash image GUI you can flash the recovery, the recovery tar, I think.

I just got a galaxy nexus today from expansys and when i put my sim in i noticed that after doing all the setup stuff my signal bars had a R above it which i assume stands for roaming but not sure. Does anyone know how to fix this ?

[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
I've been around the forums (especially Amaze's forum) for a long time, and I have not read anything about temporarily rooting the Amaze.

This may sound like a stupid question but is this achievable without the use of HTCDev unlock method? Would it be possible to get my Amaze temporarily rooted to freeze some bloatware, and to use some root-only applications? I do not want to unlock my device just yet.

If it is possible, is there any repercussions in doing so? I know with some older devices, you would be able to temp root a phone by using z4root and such. I don't want to try z4root on this device if it doesn't work or has a potential to break something.
[HTC Amaze 4G] supraman89:
There's no temp root available, i want to temp root mine to, i asked in another forum.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
It wouldn't matter if you temp rooted, anything done while being temp rooted would be reverted once you rebooted.

And no, you couldn't temp root if you wanted too without unlocking the bootloader afaik. I could be wrong tho...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
I remember someone saying somewhere that if you uninstall apps, they'll be restored but if you freeze them, they would stay frozen. This is of course, if you temp root a device.

Tech IPO's aren't about raising money for company investment.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neh4pres:
I think your issue stems from a stuck power button.. So when you try getting into download mode your actually pressing volume down and power.. That combo just won't work.. try to get that power button fixed and all should be well.

The problem is, even with unbrickable mod, you need to press the power button to get the processor into flash mode.. Him having a possible stuck power button will not be helped by doing that.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobloblaw1:
Right. Well then I guess first step is to disassemble and see if some cruft has settled in between the power button and contact. then while youre in there....might as well make it unbrickable. =)

Did you try any T-Mobile US phones?

Hey! Found your question on Google, and I felt like I had to answer this.

Did you try any T-Mobile US phones? When I go to the Dominican every summer, I bring a T-Mobile phone and I get a 3G signal instantly, even when I'm in Mao Valverde, and as you know in El Cibao, the signal drops from 3G to GSM especially as you leave Santiago or any metro city. Yes I am using Orange Dominicana, I'm in the Dominican right now, I searched on ebay and found the HTC Sensation unlocked used for $155. If you search on the Orange site I found the Samsung Galaxy S2, this is a good phone too, sold on AT&T here in the States. I hope I helped you! P.S.- Lmaoo at your friends wanting to change from a blackberry to an Android device, my parents and my friends are doing the same either with Android or an iOS device.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J3RI3L:
Return it! or go to Claro

It just wont work with Orange Over 3G because Orange provides data over the 900Mhz Band and the AT&T version does not support it.

Claro does support the 850Mhz which your phone runs perfectly so if you switch to Claro you'll get 3G. Also the Galaxy S2 i9100 Global Version (I Have it and it works even with Viva :)) might be good for you maybe its too late for a return but who knows.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] [::AP::]:
Greetings -

Over the past few months, I have enjoyed flashing ROMs. However, I can't find anything that is a "fit" for me. I welcome your suggestions.

(tl;dr included at bottom)

I started with the various Virtuous Unity builds. Virtuous Team has excellent work - everything is very polished and complete. However, Sense started to slow down/get on my nerves, I began to toy around with MIUI. First impressions were amazing, then the Chinese got in the way. I experimented with using GO Launcher EX, as well as ADW on top of MIUI...but I just did not find that MIUI was a fit for me.

I moved back to Virtuous.

Then Aerovan / Touchpro / Team KANG ICS ROMs became functional. I must say, I am anxiously awaiting a fully working (and customized) ICS build. However, I eventually had to move to something else to use as daily, as fully functional camera and non-crashing apps were a must.

Currently I am on CM7 (7.2 KANG).

Once again, credits to CyanogenMod - very simple, clean, and lite ROM. However, there are some things that I don't particularly love in AOSP Gingerbread. I've played around with ADW, Zeam, and Lightning Launcher, and while providing a very fast and basic functional experience, I am missing some of the convenient features offered in Sense and ICS ROMs.

tl;dr?

Ran Virtuous, MIUI, ICS, and CM7 ROMs. Wanting something new. Suggestions?

Sense ROMs, AOSP, anything and everything open.

Also, links to similar threads are welcome.

Kindest regards,

[::AP::]

I liked incredible HD over on the mik mik, its sense 3.5, the newer incarnation mik runny didn't seem as fast to me, and sabatoge sense based on the ota, its sense 2.1 with 3.0 parts built in, its here under development, both rooms are fully functional, fast, and as far as I could tell after running for a good while, bug free. Those are my sense picks. Right now I'm running an aosp rom, liquid 3.2, its highly customizable and has a built in theme Chooser, I think its faster and more customizable than cm7, and once again bug free, I love it, its ultra fast, and I use ex contacts, its a lot like sense contacts, you know, you can use the dial pad to type someones name and it will bring them up to call them, one of my favorite features about sense, you can also choose from all kinds of lock screens including sense, and there are the sense clock Widgets available on the market, yet you'll have the speed of aosp, I use launcher pro, fastest I've found of all the ones I've tried, there is also a built in over clock function in the settings, you can find this rom over on rootzwiki, hope this informed and helped you.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] riverstudd:
I'm in the same position as you man. I rooted as soon as AlpharevX put out rev for our phone, and since then ran MIUI, then about 3 months ago i switched to Virtuous. I love allot about sense but also hate too much to use it as a daily. Ive played with all 3 ICS roms out there, and in my opinion Aero's is by far the best in my opinion. It works great minus the finicky camera. his latest build the only things not so great are the cam, YouTube, and the internal mic isn't so great. but the market problem is fixed by a simple one time reboot. the Dinc2 just isn't shown enough love is all, and its sad.
