Touchkey light .if your phone is root, you can turn off the keyboard light and you will see what I mean
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
I am not rooted atm but can someone confirm this? What does touchkey light do?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JDCFH:
Lights the touch keys.

Your phone has dead pixels. Take it back get it exchanged.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
afaik dead pixels doesnt rotate?

Loachhs post seems more like that and also another member claimed he owned several razr with same 'problem'
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JDCFH:
Dead pixels will rotate as they are a physical fault. Both of your pictures show dead pixel in same place?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
How is Motorola pixle warranty? How many pixles needs to be dead in order to get a new phone?

Also am I the only one beside milkshed27 that have this issue?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JDCFH:
Why not google and find out?

I don't have any and can assure you if I did I would return the phone and get it changed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
Dont know if its worth exchange it and possible get one even worse..

I have emailed the store I bought it from, I think I now have had the phone in exactly 2 weeks. If its going in to repairs imo its not worth sending it. But if they exchange it then its ok. But the problem is I installed a Zagg shield on it...can I remove it and apply it on the new phone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JDCFH:
I don't know if you can take the screen protector off and swap it. I don't use one don't like them. Especially the wet install ones. Water and electric do not mix. Ever. Even in tiny amounts.

If it doesn't bother you just leave it. I'm just saying I wouldn't accept it. These devices are way too expensive to have any kind of defect however small.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
I agree. I will definitely push the store to let them exchange it for me, even if it's one pixle a phone for 600$ should not have any damaged. About the screen protector **** it, if they exchange the phone for me I wont use one anymore.

Edit: I found someone else having the same problem here http://www.razrforums.com/forum/droid-razr-help/465-advice-returning-phone.html
[General Questions and Answers] seumas1982:
Hi I was trying to upgrade the Android Version on a Galaxy S2.

I installed Clockwork Mod Recovery and was able to boot into it but couldn't access the SD for installing image.

I booted into the downloading screen ( vol down and power on boot ) and installed an image then bootloader via Odin.

Now when I boot there is the standard Samasung Galaxy S2 logo and I can't access the downloading screen or clockwork mod and it just goes to the animated S logo with usb not recognized appearing on the connected Windows box.

Is there anyway to restore from this point?
[General Questions and Answers] Racing19969:
Are you able to access the phone through ADB?

If yes, run: adb reboot download, and this should put you in downlaod mode so you can odin a new firmware.

If no adb access, Does odin recognize the phone?

If yes, you should be able to odin a new firmware.

Make sure when you flash the new firmware you are using the correct rom for your device. ie: from your post you have a GS2 I9000 which is not the same as the GS2 SGH-T989.

you would use roms from this forum: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=665

If you are unable to flash a rom you can always purchase a download mode jig to get you into download mode if you have not Hard Bricked the phone. If you have Hard Bricked your phone there are a couple of sites that do Jtag repair to unbrick your phone.

Good Luck

No reponse from Odin or ADB

I have purchased a download mode jig hopefully it will work.

How to rooting installing CWM and Which MIUI or CM9 Rom is stable
[HTC Incredible S] way2shree:
Welcome to community. I am sure if you go to development section you will find a complete thread about how to root your device :-)

And I am using MIUI 2.3.9 (not updated latest 2.3.16 yet :-P ) & must admit it's quite stable even they say it's beta ;-)
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
Rooting guide is in dev section. Cm9 is not available yet we have cm7 or you can try one of the ics roms that devs have made. Ice cold is Probs the most stable ATM.
[HTC Incredible S] TaLEntZ96:
Do you know your Hboot version? Is your phone S-Off or S-On.

if your hboot is 1.09.0000 or 1.13.0000 simply go to http://revolutionary.io/

if it is 1.16.0000 or 1.20.000 do this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1337105 and then this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1373697

you dont have to do the second step, but it will give you s-off which is easier when it comes to flashing roms. S-off also allows you to flash custom kernels and radios
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
Please stop giving misleading information. If users would like to gain s-off on hboot 1.16 and 2.00 they do not need to unlock bootloader first.
[HTC Incredible S] TaLEntZ96:
i found that way easier for me so... yeah
[HTC Incredible S] fridgie:
Only reason to unlock bootloader I can see is to run custom roms without rooting phone, given though, I unlocked mine first so can't say whether or not it helped later on when I decided to root.

[HTC Incredible S] gunswordx:
during the downgrade the first 2 steps are just to re lock the boot locker as the stock htc ruu don't get installed on a unlocked bootloader

its better for them not to unlock theirs as it will later give an error "security warning".

so its best to straight away run the downgrade ruu provided in the guide from fastboot

It's easy to get amazon app store. First besure to go into settings and allow 3rd party apps. Then do the following:

1. Go To amazon.com

2. Select apps from menu on left (see screen shot for menu path)

3. Enter your number in the box on left ( see photo)

You will get a text with a link to follow. Amazon is cool because they have a different mediocre paid app for free every day. Sometimes its a great app though and is amazing deal. If it sounds remotely interesting I get it anyways because I may want to try it in the future. I just say no at the install now screen and it will be "bought" and be in my paid apps list on amazon.

Due to the high amount of people wanting to root their SGA and do it safely, I'm making this little guide how to root your SGA, install CWM and if you want, install roms like Cyagonenmod 7. :)

IF YOU BRICKED YOUR PHONE MAIL ME VERHEIRE.NIELI@GMAIL.COM, I'M HELPING BUT I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE!

How to install Clockworkmod for SGA?

This is pretty easy.

First, download THIS ( found on XDA, it's CWM 5 ) zip file to your PC.

Now transfer the file to the SD-card of the phone, and place it where you want!

Turn off your phone and

turn it on while holding the home button

untill the Samsung logo appears! This will bring you in the Android Recovery Menu!

Navigate with the volume buttons to "Install update from zip" and click it with the Home button.

Now

select the CWM 5 zip file

you downloaded!

Reboot your phone and if you want enter the recovery mode again, this time, you will see the CWM 5 menu! If you want take a backup of your whole system, I highly recommend this.

CWM 5 is now installed!

How to root your SGA?

You already learned how to enter the CWM 5 menu and it should be installed now.

So now, we can root the phone.

First step is downloading this file ( for 2.3.x, new link that removes the errors!)

Once we did that, transfer the file to your SD-card!

Now turn off your phone, make sure your battery is over 50% and boot into CWM 5 ( Hold home button + power button ).

Now select "Install zip package" and select the Udp_1.zip file with the volume buttons. The installation will begin and finish in seconds. If you get errors post a reply with your android version + the error and ill answer ASAP :).

Now your phone is Rooted! Reboot the phone and your done.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] msonix:
Yes it is indeed weird.

I followed all the procedures as you wrote them, first got CWM running, then used the AceGingerRoot on startup, and it all worked perfectly.

When I started up Android after all of that, I noticed I had a new app, "Superuser", so I started it and I got a message that the phone wasn't rooted.

I checked back the guide and confirmed I had done everything right.

I even went on Titanium Backup and it also confirmed that I didn't have root access...

This is a shame, your guide looked simple enough and I'm really looking forward to have root access, so I can delete all the ****ty apps that come with the phone (that are taking like half its internal memory space away).

P.P.S.: I'm using Android 2.3.5

I'm in the same boat. CWM5 installs fine but I can't get root to stay. I've tried several versions of upd_1.zip, AceGingerRoot.zip and another file I found called Universal_GB_ROOT_v10.zip. Most give the installed successful message in CWM but there is no root on reboot.

When in CWM5 if I connect the phone to my PC I can get root access with adb but as soon as I reboot it disappears. Doesn't really matter for me as I managed to do what I wanted to with adb and didn't need root to stay after the reboot.

Flash stock rom with odin if you are on a custom Rom or flashed cwm. If you r stil on stock without cwm you can use An unroot.zip (Same way as rooting, but with a different file) search YouTube. You'll find tons of guides.

Poorly worded in a moment of stress. I bricked a galaxy ace, what i was saying was it was just an old phone, not my main device. Which in hindsite makes no sence.

Bottom line my galaxy ace gt-s5830d is done for. Wont power on. Tried to flash some original firmware with odin, it says connected regardless of no power, but the flash attempt failed.

This phone is not something i am really worried about. Honestly its kinda old n slow, but if i can id like to recover it. Never mangled a phone before i cant believe it was one so old haha.
