Phone is hard bricked, normal tag from ebay will not help you.

You must send your phone to reflash , there are many places to do in US.

Price is near 50 $ and so.

I bet it can be rescued by pulling battery, keeping it out for a few minutes, putting it back in, holding volume +/- while inserting usb cable connected to computer.

Look, everyone is saying "don't flash again." I am saying if you have the capability of following simple instructions from OP than go ahead and flash again. If you any questions about anything, just ask a developer, anyone from Deviant Development, All-star roms, me and many others on here will help you, flashing blind will cause a permanent brick. And remember one thing before flashing, READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY UNLESS YOU WANT A FANCY PAPERWEIGHT!!

Between "brick" and "Just flash", shouldn't there be something?

As far as I'm aware, you can't flash while bricked.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] florinjax:
Hello! I have recently installed CM9-20120319-NIGHTLY-jordan on my Defy and it seems there's a problem during calls. The proximity sensor is not working (when I'm taking the phone from next to my ear, the screen won't turn on, as it used to before in the CM7). Also, the screen remains black and won't turn on unless the other party hangs up the phone. I need some help about how should I fix this. Thank you!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zangetsu_MG:
Ok, I know this is really old, but I just had the same problem and want to document how I fixed it cause this is a top search result for me and I figure it must be for others too. I had observed this behavior just after installing Quarx's CM11 Nightly, and I had assumed that it was a software glitch.

Some months ago I actually managed to crack the glass on my phone, and I had ordered replacement parts. I thought I had just ordered glass, but I got a whole new case that was all shiny and new. So I swapped broken parts for new and went on my merry way. But I did notice that the volume down button was sticky, but I just dealt with it for a while. Recently when I was Rooting and installing CM11, I got frustrated with my volume down button trying to get into the recovery system, so I cracked my case open to take a look at the sticky button. I found a small plastic burr left from the molding process. I sliced it off with a razor and reassembled and thought nothing of it. Happy with my functioning volume down button I proceeded along my merry way.

Now, why was this detail in the story important? Because in between Froyo and CM11 I had inadvertently caused my proximity sensor to malfunction, by tightening the screws too tight when I put it back together. It wasn't CM11; it was me. The fix was easy. Pop off the battery cover and loosen one screw a half a turn at a time until the proximity sensor started working. Pro Tip: Dial into voice mail while trying this so you can have an active call without hassling your brother.

I only know this now because I found this video:

i have tested this on 3 other computers with the same result. i believe it has to be a windows permission or config issue. has anyone experiencing this problem? if so what are the steps to remedy.

[General Questions and Answers] remlabm:
so i think ive narrowed it down to a windows security or android security issue.

here is what im thinking

windows is figuring my tablet is a "mobile" device for my user so its locking down the ability to see it from any other user.

anyone have any idea on how to fix this? have spent way to many hours, feel like im missing something simple.
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
adb is installed on a user basis, so you need to re-install it on any other users you want to be able to access it.
[General Questions and Answers] remlabm:
adb is accessible by any of the accounts. the device is not. thats what leads me to believe its a permission issue with the device on windows.

i plugged in another device to that user and adb picked it up.

It sounds like the drivers for your phone could need installing for that user. I had a similar issue until I ran Kies on both users (only for Samsung device drivers).

It's either Java or C++. Are you doing this just for a hobby?
[Off-topic] Archer:
For ROMs and Linux you're better learning C. For Windows you're better of learning C#, but Java may be a wise choice also as that's what's used (primarily) for developing Android apps. You can use C for everything in your list, but there are better ways to develop for both Windows and Android using more modern techniques.

From what you've said I'd recommend just looking at some C tutorials and getting a book or 2 for beginners development.

This looks like a decent place to start...

I am more like a Windows guys who usually mess with Windows Phone and Windows.

So is C++ is a good start? Or it is more like it to be started all over again at Visual Basic? I have forgotten everything about what i learned in the past about VB.

And are there many jobs for a Software Engineering with C++/ C# ? I am about to be in the university.

[Off-topic] boborone:
I learned python from old books at the library dug from the back room and used a notebook for writing the programs. Didn't have a computer at the time. So you can learn by reading and doing it yourself. As a base language and never doing it before. If you have some idea, go c++, if not, learn basic. Hell do basic just for the hell of it. Take you a month and you can add the first notch of languages on your belt. Basic will teach you about standards of coding. Like learning addition and subtraction. C++ will teach you all you need to know about how to code in whatever language you use in the future. It will follow you forever. But you must no matter what learn what this means.
[Off-topic] befatty:
Java C++ will be ok.

Actually every language have there common point.

They have similar Syntax , maybe similar key words.

you can learn one expertly, then you can learn others very easy.

I prefer the C++. I think CPP is the greatest language in the word.

If it's done. you can learn java very fast.

And you can write a app in any devices. For example android iphone windows7 etc.

First of all thank you for wathcing this.

I have a stock, non rooted EVO 3D HB 1.5 with software version 2.08.651.3

It's flashed to Iusacell network in mexico (where I live) and there is some kind of PRL, or QPST config (Im not really shure) that allow me to use the EVDO-A without paying for it, and its awesome.

The thing is that before this I had an G1 and i loved to root it use any rom i like and had the permision to do anything. :)

Now I'm not shure if I should use the HTC unlock method to flash the recovery image and root it. I don't want to loose any network config.

If I root it via HTC DEV, Am I going to lose any of that configs? :confused:

Thank you, if it can help I have the MSL code set to 000000 and I've used the QPST programing once or twice (level: noob)

It's not possible. Verizon uses CDMA, EVDO and LTE. AT&T uses GSM and UMTS. Completely different technologies. However, if you can get an XT910, a GSM version of the RAZR, you can use it on AT&T (this is what I have).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Raizo Uchiha:
im actually looking into this because my cousin has just left Verizon for att and it is possible they use sim cards and people have reported it working im not sure on many details of it yet but its out there just google "verizon droid razr on at&t"

You cannot do that after the ICS update. With ICS, you can roam onto global GSM networks but many people have reported that you cannot change the default network from Verizon.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] kosmarnik:
I had setup wp7 to work with the sd-card, partitioned it for dual-boot with android.

Android was booting from the card, but it couldn't mount it so I (stupidly) used the sd-formatter.

It deleted all the partitions. :mad:

Well I booted wp7 to start setting up the card again, but wp7 just tells me to get lost as the card is now non-compliant.

Great!

Formatted the card with windows, still non-compliant.

Any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dxdy:
you must do hard reset or flash WP7 again....

simply, you deleted WP7 memory and WP7 cant boot without.... with hard reset or new setup after flashing, he create partition and memory again....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] kosmarnik:
Yeah, did it all over again, working now. Dual booting is fine now.

I had no idea that wp7 is so *****y about sd-cards :|
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] vgsandman:
Hate to ask but could you elaborate on the steps you went through to flash wp7 and get the sd card to work?

If I remove my SD card or replace it with an identical card that is formated, it prevents my phone from booting up. I get the same message.

I've read the forums and they talk about task29, flash with 6.5, etc. Just trying to find a concise simplified method that won't leave me without a phone.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dxdy:
only hard reset is needed when replace SDcard... flashing new ROM is only if you want upgrade with newer version...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mengfei:
**sigh** :(

this happened to me a few times already already & had to install WP7 all over again. BUT now I have another 16gb card & make an image file just in case :p

BTW how is the Hard reset done, in magLDR?

@vgsandman

this is what I did again, last night.

- Task 29

- Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14

- Magldr

- Service

- Clear SD MBR

- uselast24NAND

- USB Flaser

- Flash WP (some ROM will install in this method w/o Wmo)

....... Part error.......

.........error...........

Pdaimatejam rom gave this error, i guess it needed Wmo???

REDO again!

- Task 29

- Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14

- MagLDR

- MagLDR Repartition 300/ 45

- Magldr

- Service

- Clear SD MBR

- uselast24NAND

- USB Flaser

- Flash WP

- Done!

I also dual boot & i sometimes make a booboo when adjusting the partition so now the card wont work & do things all over again.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] 0719andy:
That's why I don't use dual system.It's hard and troublesome when you upgrade.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] kosmarnik:
Now that I know the basics, it's not a problem. SD android is super easy to handle, wp7, well, I'll see.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Mr-Dutch:
Well it is not that hard.

Windows Phone 7 is using the SD as his Internal Memory.

If you check your settings and you do not change anything with the partitions.

You see that the Internal Memory is the exact amount of space of your SD Card.

So it is very logical that, when you format your SD card, you will loose your partition and WP7.

Also what I don't understand is.

When your phone is already that far with MAGLDR and Radio. (cause you did it once already) Why should you start over again?

It is very simple, just do the following:

When phone boot in MAGLDR use:

* 10. Services, 4. UseLast24NAND

* 10. Services, 5. ClearSD MDR

After that:

when HSPL and/or MAGLDR already installed.

Also if Pdaimatejam or CTRLPDA or HD2O ROM already installed,

you can skip all steps before step 2.

- when you turn on phone press and hold power button to boot direct to MAGLDR:

* go to 5. USB Flasher and run ENG_DWI.exe to flash ROM

(or EN_DWI.exe or TR_DWI.exe. ENG is installer in English, TR is Turkish)

- after flashing process done, and when show Main screen with Tiles,

do hard reset (Settings - About - reset my phone)

- run Connection Setup, with OK complete configuration and soft reset (restart) phone

- you are done... ignore next steps

Thats it!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mengfei:
OK so if the splash screen from WP7 shows the SD card error we can just go directly to

magldr

* 10. Services, 4. UseLast24NAND

* 10. Services, 5. ClearSD MDR

flash WP7 again? I thought we needed to clear the Nand again to be able to install the ROM again.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Mr-Dutch:
Well I never did that, and i can't remember that I cleared NAND from Android.

Cause I came from Android.

Also when I was upgrading my rom from PDA.... 7.5 to 7.7 I did not cleared anything with the cache or NAND.

They did not notified me that I needed to do this, not even in my instruction manuall.

If you want to, I can share you the link?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mengfei:
Please do so Mr-Dutch :)

[Droid X General] nativesmiley:
Does rooting the Droid x give free mobile hotspot?
[Droid X General] sjmoreno:
Rooting the stock rom does not give you free hotspot capabilities. The stock os has a way of knowing if you try using 3rd party wi-fi hotspot apps from the Market and Verizon may send you a nasty letter to cease doing that.

There are however a bunch of custom ROMs that will allow you to use your Droid X as a mobile hotspot without getting hit by Verizon with the nasty letter and/or an additional $30/month hotspot charge.

If you really love the stock os and still want to have free wi-fi hotspot/tether capability then you could use a custom sbf file created by user wugfresh over at the droidxforums website. I don't think I can give you the link here but you can do a Google search for "WugPacked GB Tether Patch" and it should come up as the first link in your search results.
