Hi,

I agree with many of the things you said and the ideas you put forward. It's a shame that it was previously difficult to get heard on this matter, but I see a number of people are now paying attention.

I've long supported some changed like this. Most recently it's for my newest device, the Xperia Mini 2011. I think oddly enough, the 2010 devices were organised much better.

For Mini users, take a look at the Sony Ericsson devices listed here:

http://xdaforums.com/filter.php?cat=sonyericsson-android

See how the 2010 X10 Mini is laid out? It's so smooth and clear, you don't have to hunt down various ROMS. There is even a special Questions & Answers thread which clears up questions from the other threads.

I hugely appreciate the volunteer work that XDA and members commit which we all benefit. I support a few changes here and there to keep the place running smoothly. :)

I came across this thread (featured on frontpage).

They have managed to bypass the locked bootloader of the motorola RAZR. Maybe we can port this to the milestone somehow?

Trying not to get too excited...

First time I think we are really close to something...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
We can boot custom kernel for a long time already, using 2nd-boot, which is very similar to kexec.

The problem has always been the Wrigley 3G BP, which we are not able to get working after the start of the second kernel. And there seems to be no way to reinitialize it.

The Razr is using MDM6600 BP, which is rather easy to get working after kernel restart.

So, this kexec stuff won't help us in any way.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dstruct2k:
Pavel, you're saying that at some point there was a working 2ndboot project that just couldn't reinit the 3G radio?

Is there any files kicking around on a Github project or Dropbox account that I could take a look at? I'm mostly just curious.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ra990:
Hi All,

I recently started having a problem with my G2. Upon a reboot, I noticed that the digitizer was not working. None of my touch was recognized, not even the home/menu/back/search area. I powered down the G2 and rebooted, and again the same thing. I disconnected the battery, removed the SIM and SD Card, and tried again after a few hours. This time it worked. Rebooted again, no go. Strange, right?

I thought it might be a faulty digitizer, so I replaced it with a new one. Same problem persists.

The weird thing is that I have figured out after about ~25 reboots, it works again. And once the digitizer works on reboot, it works fine until the phone shuts down, so I just keep it on as long as I can. If the battery dies or I have to reboot, then I have to reboot about ~25 times before it works again - then the cycle continues - I keep the phone on as long as I can until it powers down - reboot with the digitizer not working, ~25 reboots later, the digitizer works again. It's freaking annoying.

So, my question is...if the digitizer is not the issue, where could the problem be? I have tried flashing different ROMs, they all exhibit the same issue.

Any help would be appreciated - I really love this phone and don't want to upgrade yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l337m45732:
First thing that came to mind was the faulty digitizer... But on further ponering, maybe its not the digitizer, but the ribbon cable. Try replacing it. That could be the cause f your issues. Hope i helped.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ra990:
The digitizer part included the ribbon cable, so when I replaced the digitizer, I also replaced the cable. It is too weird. If the digitizer or cable was bad, I would expect the digitizer to behave erratically during the times when it does work, but as long as the phone doesn't power off - it works fine!

My suspicion is that it could be some kind of software/firmware fault where...for some reason the digitizer is just not initializing on every boot up. It only initializes once every ~25 boot ups, then works fine until the phone powers off.

I plan on fully restoring the phone to factory stock condition soon, relocking the bootloader and all, then seeing if the problem still persists. If it does, then I'm done with the phone. It's too much of a pain in the butt to keep the phone alive and on for weeks on end just to keep the digitizer working. At times it dies at an inopportune time and then I'm just power cycling it like an idiot hoping that it works again on the next reboot - which it eventually does, but I don't always have the time to reboot the phone endlessly while keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the suggestion though!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psg190:
Hey all, I had a botched ICS upgrade on my Nexus S 4G today using Google's factory images. I can get into TWRP and into the bootloader, but my device is not recognized by any operating system that I have tried to connect it to. Swapping USB cables hasn't made a difference. My other NS4G can connect with no problems to any of these operating systems with any USB cable. While the phone does charge over USB while connected to a computer, I can't mount the SD card in TWRP and I can't use fastboot in the bootloader. With fastboot, the only message I get is "waiting for device."

Should I just cut my losses and jettison the phone? Any suggestions on how to remedy the situation?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psg190:
Pitiful bump.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anglergab:
Which factory image did you flash? What's the exact model of your phone? See the sticker beneath the battery.

Can you boot the mobile?

What was the problem through fastboot update?

Boot into bootloader/fastboot mode. What does it display?

Please provide a lot more details about the problem.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psg190:
Thanks for the reply. Pretty sure I'm bricked unless I can get JTAG. I wasn't paying attention and it was super late at night when I was flashing for my wife (who was over custom roms). I mixed up bootloaders and sent the GSM version to my CDMA Nexus. I can't boot into Android. I can get into TWRP, but can't mount USB to get any files onto the device.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anglergab:
Connect the phone to a Linux PC, then please post in this thread the output of the following commands:

tail /var/log/messages

lsusb

By the way you can reflash baseband/radio firmware image from recovery through ADB.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psg190:
Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a shot in a few hours when I can get to a linux box. Part of the problem is that I get no recognition that the device is connected from any OS. I tried accessing the phone while it was in download mode through Heimdall running on Ubuntu and it couldn't see the phone.

I'll give the commands a try though and let you know. Should the phone be at the bootloader or in recovery?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anglergab:
You can try connecting the phone first in bootloader and then recovery. Run the above commands in both modes. Connect the phone directly, without hubs, preferably with its own cable.

I have an 8GB Nook Tablet and made the foolish mistake of attempting to try and root it with acclaim-update.zip. Now my Nook will no longer boot and I've tried every unbricking method available. No progress was made.

I was a bit too eager to eager and rushed headfirst into it without researching it more thoroughly. If there's no fix for it, then that's fine. I just wanted to run through ever resource possible before giving up on it. I have spent the past few hours scouring the internet and coming up with little to nothing.

What things have you tried to make it boot?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] soshite:
Shouldn't you just be able to put the unmodified acclaim_update.zip on your sdcard? It should work and fix your nook. When you put the sdcard in, make sure the device is off, and then connect it to the power adapter to get it to turn on

attempts to restore the firmware to factory:

The process stops on the initial screen on cyanoboot, where it shows 'Loading (sd)...'. I don't even get to enter the menu that shows the boot options.

Next I downloaded the img link above, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24912163&postcount=5 , no luck also, the tick appeared on the flash 'Installing new software' screen after 4 minutes. After I removed the mSD card, the NT did a data cleanse, and got an error message about 40% into the factory restore prompting me to contact B&N. It then goes into the reboot loop (this is where I am now).

Ubuntu unbrick

No luck. NT don't even boot up to mSD with the mSD card slotted in.

I've tried the above multiple times, downloading the files few times as well. Am still stuck in the reboot loop.

Would like to seek help from gurus here for pointers... Am stuck at this point.

Thanks alot!

Can you get to CWM using Indirect's NT-CWM-SD package from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466583

Get a micro SD card, fire up gParted (or whatever partition manager), put a new MSDOS partition table on it. Then make a new FAT32 partition at the beginning of the disk. Set the boot and lba flags. Copy the contents of Indirect's zip onto the disk. Stick it in the NT. Hold power + n for 10 seconds and wait for the grey "n" to show up on the screen for a second. Then turn it on.

If that takes you to CWM, then you've got options.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] grrmisfit:
using a properly formatted SD card should solve most issues.. its the great thing about the nook.

1.make sure your using a good SD card. sandisk 8gb class and up would be best

2. make sure you grab the 8gb nook cm7 image.

3. preferably use a component based card reader. by that i mean one other then a laptops.. the laptop ones tend to be picky and lots of people in the nook color days had issues and most were resolved by using a computer one over a laptop one

4. with the nook OFF plug the usb cable into the nook then into the usb port on a computer

check out stickies too
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raywaldo:
Bricked NT8

Negative. I wish you were correct but - in this case - you are not.

Your advice is probably appropriate for those who cannot get an SDCard to boot properly. However, the O.P. has a bricked device and his original post is most descriptive. His NT8 will not boot to the INTERNAL EMMC. (I have the same problem.)

There are several of us here on XDA who are not novices with this issue. The O.P. has listed the various steps that he has followed and they are much more involved than a simple SDCard format issue.

BTW, most formatting issues are when users are attempting to format with Windows. I use Linux exclusively and I can ALWAYS build a boot SDCard without issues.

Also in the same boot as the O.P.

Lost Nook 1.4.0 partition

Hi, Lavero.

I think I may have accidentally deleted the default nook partition. I can still boot up via SDCard and goes into CM7. How can I recover those default partition? Do you have those commands within Terminal Emulator or any other options?

If I do not put in my SDCard, with power cable connected, the nook tablet 16GB keep rebooting. I still want to recover my Nook default OS so that I can repartition it the next time I go to BN.

Hope to hear from you. Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] Denis3:
Hi.

As a good noob, found a ICS upgrade and tried to apply to a GT-9100G...

Fixed USB comms using Kies and USBCDevview

Got Odin to communicate fine

Started the upgrade and.. Got stuck in Phone-Triangle-PC.

I used the great guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1457458

Used Odin to go to XXKI3

I moved to having the SGS2 logo and a yellow triangle and then... nothing more.

If I charge it, the display stays on with above picture.

If I try and connect via USB I get nothing.

If I leave the battery in, I get the display on

If I clean the USB (remove kies, USBDeview to remove detected AMOP4430), I still never get ODIN to see the SGS2

I searched this forum and more.. After a week-end of it... no luck.

Any ideas?

Yup. I messed up all the way. When reading docs I did not realize the order in which you press Volume down then Home, then power was important except for power. I was really trying to get Down and Home together. Also, I used a Pit and Firmware from another forum. I got u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit and I9100GXXLB1_I9100GXEFLB1_I9100GXXKL4_HOME.tar.md5. This did reset my I9100G to its default. not even a triangle when booting.

[HTC One V] mikereidis:
I'm pretty sure HTC and the chip company took it into account. Now it's possible they made some errors and a software update might fix it.

Can anyone tell me the manufacturer of the WiFi/Bluetooth chip and if it does FM too ?

EDIT: A ROM indicates Broadcom BCM4330 in /system/etc/firmware. This is one of a new generation of Broadcom combination chips that I've seen to be sensitive enough to even decode RDS with no earphone plugged in as an antenna.

The One X and One S are using a Qualcomm chip, which is a big departure from the TI and Broadcom chips HTC used in the past.

If someone could send a log from my app there's info about that here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26102918&postcount=3

Thanks !
[HTC One V] pzboyz:
The H1S has a Qualcomm BT chip, the H1X has a BT chip from TI.

Looks like the H1V is on the older and you would hope more reliable Broadcom chipset, the 4330 is used in many other AOSP phones.
[HTC One V] mikereidis:
Thanks !

That's interesting...

So the H1S is the only HTC device with the Qualcomm chip then... ?

But then why does the teardown for the One X say it has that Qualcomm chip ? : http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/cracking-open-the-htc-one-x/6363151?seq=54

There's an AT&T variant that has a hidden FM app, but I'm not sure it's the same chip as the International H1X with NVidia Tegra.
[HTC One V] pzboyz:
The Qualcomm chip is the baseband/modem for the phone, not the Bluetooth/Wifi module.
[HTC One V] mikereidis:
A phone can have more than one Qualcomm chip.

Qualcomm is a chip manufacturer, and they make SOCs, as well as BT/WiFi/FM chips.

They've also acquired other companies, such as Atheros, adding to their chips portfolio.

This One X teardown: http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/cracking-open-the-htc-one-x/6363151?seq=54

Bluetooth 4.0 is surely not an upgrade.!

Here is something intresting, I read an article on wikipedia about bluetooth 4.0 and got to know that its actually a downgrade in terms of its functioning. Bluetooth 4.0 is also called as Bluetooth low energy, designed to consume less power from battery, and some of the major features are-

(A) Its speed is less than classical bluetooth.

(B) Its latency is less.

(C) Its range is greater.

(D) It is not voice capable (which means BT headset won't work)
