[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksordo:
I believe the source of the problem to be a faulty install of ICS plus a later rooting, as the phone would intermittently go from Android Phone to Unable to Recognize USB Device, to just not being able to recognize the phone. I've uninstalled KIES along with the drivers and installed them back again to no avail. Can anyone help? Is it possible to flash the phone with a working Android version without using the computer - through the SD card?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatPhysicsBoy:
I'm having a similar problem seems to be very intermittent and random.

Try plugging it into a friends laptop, mine got recognised that way.

Then either download a rom and chuck it on the card that way or we shall see.

I got it fully working, absolutely perfectly an hour or so ago. Came back to it now and tried to plug it in and no response...

Nice info, is there any cpu temperature sensor support for this exynos quad?
[Galaxy S III General] Erahgon:
Lovely! Thanks for this one!
[Galaxy S III General] vasra:
Brilliant, thanks!

Now if we only knew what type of flash memory is used for each partition and what are the real-life r/w speeds for each?

Is it all based on same flash-memory type, or will we get the same kind of "out of oneNAND flash memory" fiascos we got with the original Galaxy S ?

Further, I wonder if anybody has info on the GPS chip? Samsung's own or SiRF Star? Is it simultaneous dual-mode GPS for both satellite networks (offering differential GLONASS + GPS for better accuracy)?

2. Flash memory types / sizes / OS hierarchy (ONEnand, NAND, etc)?
[Galaxy S III General] Gnarfsan:
I think the display could be a later version than in the Nexus because red appears to have smaller LED's. But it's hard to tell. Could be down to the camera.

http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/58763-image/galaxy-s-iii-microscope-nexus.jpg
[Galaxy S III General] Erahgon:
True! It has a greater sub-pixel density than the Galaxy Nexus.
[Galaxy S III General] Gnarfsan:
Do you have a source for that statement? Because it sounds unlikely...

Quite to the countrary in fact...

Which GPS chip and which modes (differential GPS/GLONAS)?

What type of flash memory hierarchy (how much of each type)?

[Galaxy S III General] vasra:
Brilliant stuff.

Could somebody use root explorer, to find out the size / free space of:

/data

/datadata

/system

And if you find out what speed they benchmark in R/W, that'd be a top information to know.

Thanks already in advance for any new and additional information.
[Galaxy S III General] E:V:A:
Great Catch! Where did you get that?

However, it's missing parts (sections 5, 8-10 and possibly 12). And the block-diagram is probably wrong/fake as it is completely equivalent to that of the SGS2.

Also, the sections seem to jump randomly around in those files. Not to be greedy, but it would be great to have the complete thing... But they were very nice this time, to include the chip proper descriptions in the parts list!

Very nice!

Could you also search for some datasheets on these?

Then I can include them in the SGS3 hack pack!

Finally it should be stated that some info in OP is not correct. It has been rather blindly copied from the Google doc by Supercurio. That was preliminary and insecure info. What I'm talking about is the MHL chip and baseband processors. Those values are probably not correct.

MHL is SiI9244BO

BP is Intel PMB9811C (X-GOLD 626-C)

[If its written "6262" on the chip that's fine, but the hardware and firmware is still that of the 6260! And I don't care for that Intel eye-candy picture in plastic box. Don't believe it!]

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jtsurfs:
So I initially unlocked bootloader and was going to flash recovery and a custom Rom, but I thought I read I have to relock then use the AT&T update to ICS and then unlock again. So I am at the point where I need to unlock the bootloader and it never seems to complete. I have left the command running for over 10 minutes but it doesn't finish. It did this before I upgraded to ICS but eventually did go through. This time it just doesn't seem to work. I have been booting into hboot, then switching to fastboot, the running the command to unlock,, but it just sits at that point. Anyone have any suggestions besides using the guide or the supertool. I have tried the guide and the supertool but neither is working now.

Oh yeah, this is on my new Vivid I just got. I'm not quite a noob as I have rooted my other phones.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] randong:
Retry on the HTC dev site ....it might help u
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jtsurfs:
Thanks, I tried again today and for some reason it went through smooth. Wonder if it has something to do with the USB port on one computer vs on my laptop. Weird, but I got it unlocked, rooted and loaded the Virtuous Inquisition ROM.

Thanks for the help.
[General Questions and Answers] QuiteFrankly_:
So, I just got my Galaxy Nexus. What can I say, it's an amazing device, but I am having doubts. I have had 4 dropped calls, I've used the battery alot, and it's not bad, the OS is great, roms are a blessing. Although all of these things are great, it's already stood me up on a emergency. So, i'm looking at the Motorola Droid Razr, and Motorola Droid Razr Maxx {Droid 3 is a not, due to screen}. So basically i'm asking you guys to give me some advice on what I should do.

I come from the iPhone 4S, it just got boring, and i've always craved Android.
[General Questions and Answers] MissionImprobable:
You definitely want the MAXX over the regular RAZR. The Droid4/RAZR battery drains like no other, especially on 4G. Root and Roms exist for both, but that's my .02.

You may also want to check out the HTC Rezound.
[General Questions and Answers] saintlikesniper:
Really depends on what you want. Using my self as an example I've always had a keyboard. Came from a og Droid to the d3 then to the nexus. I prefer an unlocked and very hackable phone.

Now which do you prefer build quality and a pre installed extended battery slightly better camera (maybe). Or high dev support larger more quality screen unlocked boot loader and more than likely quicker updates.

I'd pick the nexus if your comparing nexus to moto devices. I would also look at the rezound HTC devices always looked appealing to me but I just had to have a nexus device
[General Questions and Answers] paulnsx:
If you can wait to get either the Samsung or HTC phone with 8960 that would be the way to go IMO.
[HTC Sensation] kmmxracer:
I wanted to start a thread for those of us that have bricked our Sensation by formatting the SD card while using a AOSP style or AOKP ROM.

Let's use this thread to collaborate ideas and ways to possibly un-brick our devices.

What we know

-Formatting the SD card in past versions of AOSP and AOKP caused the device to "brick" due to possibley reformatting the NAND memory or at least the eMMC partition.

-Our devices are unresponsive and are only recognized by a PC in "download mode"

-AOSP and AOKP ROMs did brick the devices. Instead of formatting the external SD card, it formatted the internal SD card or what is more commonly known as NAND flash memory of the device(Thanks to T-Macgnolia for this explination)

-Only hope may be to try JTAG and RIFF box.

So let's try a think tank and see what happens. If you have any experience with JTAG and RIFF Box PLEASE put in your 2cents.

I am willing to tear my Sensation apart and go at it with a RIFF box since I just ordered a Galaxy Nexus from Google.

I will start researching JTAG and RIFF tonight, but I figured some one should start a thread like this to clear up the HTC Unbricking Project thread.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
You got two thanks from me for this, one here and one in the Unbricking Project thread in the development forum. I am like you I can see this subject clogging up the Unbricking Project thread, so this is a good idea here if members will just use it.

Now as for how to revive devices that fall victim to the awful bug that was in the AOSP and AOKP ROMs. I truly hate that such a bad bug was not noticed before so many had fallen victim to it. I also hope someone or a group of someones can come up with a working solution. But from my knowledge JTAG will more than likely be the only option to revive these devices. I hope I am wrong though. Best of luck to all of you.
[HTC Sensation] kmmxracer:
I don't know much about JTAG at this point, but if it's the only way I'm willing to go for it and share my experience. As it stands now, my Sensation is just a nice expensive paper weight, so I'm not afraid to tear it down
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Well best advice I can do is tell you to start eoing searchs on Youtube. Here is a link to the only video I have found on the Sensation so far. You will need to try to find s video that shows the tear down process that will get you to the point the video I linked shows. But at least the video shows the proper way to attach the JTAG and external power supply. I suggest you aleo see if you can not get in touch with josh from Mobile Tech Videos as I know he can give you some very sound advice on JTAGing a Sensation, or just about any other device for that matter. He is known as connexion2005 here on XDA. It also might not hurt to drop ole AdamOutler a PM asking if he has any advice or input.
[HTC Sensation] blackcell1:
well im in this boat with my bricked sensation xe, im taking my phone upto http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/ on wednesday to get it jtaged with the riff box.

but on some good news, if you read the updates on the riffbox it says it can jtag a htc phone via usb (without opening it) but you need a riffbox plugged in to open the software... so if someone could make a hack to open the software without the box connected you might be able to flash the phone

[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
just for those of us that are new has this bug been fixed?? as it seems like a pretty big deal. also jupuntobear deals with the sensation devices in download mode to do its s-off so maby they know a way to flash the firmware back onto it?? some sort of homebrew usb/jtag kit maby?
[HTC Sensation] husam212:
I want to confirm that jtag solution works ... I bricked my phone and now its back to life :D

[HTC Sensation] Logseman:

[HTC Sensation] Alipk52:
I Don't think your Device is bricked...i saw somewhere that sometimes or maybe in some ROMs, when you used up full juice of your Battery, it usually takes time to start..i am obviously not sure if i am right, i just read that quickly and ignored it because i never consume the Battery till it goes to 0% and phone turns off...by the way i think this SD CARD Format doesn't cause bricking in Virtuous Inquisition? it's also AOSP..Although senseless..but maybe some files could be used in V.I As well which causes this.i don't have PC..So my Sensation fullfils my PC Needs (Almost)..so definitely cannot fancy tearing my phone a part...
[HTC Sensation] kmmxracer:
It seems like JTAG w/ RiffBox is the only way....boooooo.

Does anyone have or know someone with a box, or at least where to get one???
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
I don't really know what happen to Alipk52's Sensation. But I can tell you this, the bug that was in the AOSP and AOKP ROMs did brick the devices. Instead of formatting the external SD card, it formatted the internal SD card or what is more commonly known as NAND flash memory of the device. Now with the internal memory formatted this means you have no bootloader which means the device can not boot, which means brick. So yes the SD card format bug did cause bricking.
[HTC Sensation] Lfhmzd:
Hi!

[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
The problem you had was not the one described in this thread, and I would put money on him not using JTAG on it at all. I find that often if I let my phone battery die completely it will not turn back on, even if I leave it on charge.

I have to charge it up a bit, unplug it, turn it on, then plug it back in again.
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1205983

i think this guy was on to something. if we could create a generic copy of the sensation using this program, with imei and other sensitive things removed and then flash it back using that program. thoughts?
[HTC Sensation] saynotopunx:
I would just like to offer my Sensation as a sacrifice to the cause. It's bricked either because of the AOKP SD brick or failure to update to the ICS radio before upgrading from 2.3 to 4.0.
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
Not updating the firmware only causes bootloops, not a brick.

You'll know if it's proper bricked as it wont even charged.

Hi Guys,

You should not have to re-root, and you should always wipe data, cache, and davlik when installing a ROM. I would suggest the new Unofficial Collective ROM beta 3 using the latest ICS leak with UCLD3, I've been really impressed with it so far, really awesome work.

Does wiping those three or doing a factory reset in cwm wipe sd card files pictures and downloaded files etc.

You guys really wipe three times?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
No. Sd card is safe(external and internal), unless you do something wrong. Here's what I do and I've never had issues with a ROM. Factory reset 3 time, wipe cache 3 times, wipe dalvik 3 times, format system 3 times, then flash. Probably extremely redundant but I don't care. It takes a couple more seconds and can't hurt.
