[Samsung Infuse 4G] Quicure:
So, in a strange series of events (alcohol may have been related), the internal connection of the usb mini port on my infuse no longer appears to work - happened several months ago. Anything I want to put on my phone is downloaded, and for power I have quite a few batteries I charge with an external charger. Honestly, hasn't been an issue at all for me. Turns out, everything I do on my phone is already online.

I just updated to the kang ics rom (great job btw), and I would love a way to load gb bootloaders. Problem is, without a usb connection, no Heimdall. Is there another way to load the bootloaders?

I've been lurking the Infuse forum since July, and love all the work the many contributors have posted, but this is my first post here.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jpcdeux:
No. Even MobileOdin can't flash PIT or bootloaders. Odin goes deeper into phone than cwm can do.

Its like recovery vs DFU mode in the iphone world

One needs the source file. The source file is exactly what the name says, the source off the whole ROM kernel included. The source is indendent of the kernel and ROM. There is a tutorial on xda on how to build a kernel from source. We will not have source till either there is a leak or the official OTA comes out, and one can request source or they volunteerly release it.

So it turns out a 3ft drop face down on to tile is sufficient to break the digitizer. My research and that of the guy at the local repair shop doesn't turn up any source for replacement parts. If anyone comes across a source for replacement parts, I'd appreciate a heads up. Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Ryukeima:
Being that there are multiple models of the Galaxy Tab 2, starting with sizes and then branching within those, it is unclear.

But now that you have a sig identifying your model, no I have not seen screens for the P3113 yet. I think it will depend on how popular it is before people start cranking out parts.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] pogu:
Sorry, I don't know I must have accidentally erased the sig on the OP. To be fair though, there are 2 models of "galaxy tab 2" and the ten inch came out close to the time of my post, plus I kinda suck at communicating :o
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Ryukeima:
Well I was mainly thinking of the difference between the P3113 and P3100 (the speaker on the front screen for voice calls). I don't think you'd want that on your screen if it doesn't work :-P

I am surprised at how many accessories are already out for the 10" model since it just came out. I do hope that replacement parts for the 7" come out soon though in case I break mine too.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Blackleopord187:
Hey guys, so I have flashed a lot of ROMS lately, and ive been wondering. When a chef says to wait 10 minutes after flashing the ROM and reboot, im usually at the google sign in screen.

If i push and hold my power button, the only option that pops up is "Screenshot"

Does this mean have to pull the battery to reboot? Because that is the way i have been doing it.

Just a noob question, any help is appreciated. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
I just wait 10 minutes on the setup screen while the cache is built and then I finish with the setup and finally reboot of the option to reboots not present in the setup screen

Hmm, havent tried that. Ill try that next time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] techfanatic9:
yup just if you can reboot it normal (holding down the power button) then just pull out the battery after 10 minutes and you should be good to go!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuk1maar:
Hello! My uncle's Xperia X10 swum in orange juice for around 20minutes in his bag 2 weeks ago. Now he gave his phone to me so I can try to fix it. What I did was, a full teardown. I put the motherboard and all the other parts into a big bowl of dry rice. I put it in there 7 hours ago but I want to leave it in there for like 2 days more.

I tried to power it on ONCE. It vibrated and continusely shows Sony Ericsson in the middle of the screen (with low brightness level). That's the only thing it shows me.

I quickly shut it down to prevent further damage.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
20 minutes eh? You could be happy, that it works somehow... I was fixing these phones after many liquids, but without immediate take from they died.

Bowl of rise???!!! :eek: Really weird solution, but better than nothing...

OK, something works with it, but it doesnt load an ROM, maybe reflashing will be enough. But firtsly look very closely on motherboards BGA chips, meybe there is an shortcut on memory chip or dried juice caused somewhere little resistance where it shouldnt be.

As I do in all cases, is to buy alcohol for cleaning pcbs and use it for complete wash and clean carefully with a soft toothbrush. When finished, put board in hot place (about 80 degrees of celsius is ideal) for about an 1 hour.

After this, try reflashing - but phone will maybe start itself :)

With this I agree, dont turn it on for long time, if not nessesary.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuk1maar:
I baked the motherboard in the oven at 200 degrees Celcius for 10minutes. Then I let it cool down for 30minutes and now it does not even vibrate anymore :( Also shows no display. Mabey I have to wait longer?

I already reflashed the phone over 10 times. It did nothing good :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
OMG, told you that ideal is about 80 degrees of Celsius. Industrialstandart capacitors can holt up to 110 degrees and 220 degrees in point when lead-free iron on contacts of all components is melting!

If you used oven for baking, you have burnt it. When drying any PCB using hot air is the must.

Sorry, i think you have completely damaged the board.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuk1maar:
But I let it first dry in the oven for 10 minutes with the door of the oven opened up a quarter.

I saw alot youtube video's about people doing this and most of them actually succeeded. So I thought, why not give it a try.

I will leave the phone as for it is now and leave it cool down more.

I must say that my oven has also fans in there which make the air circulate more.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
OK then. As told - 200 C is really over industrial standarts. Components may be durable and could live after this, some of them not.

Let the board cool down and try again e.g. after an hour.

Have you looked on the components on the board if there is any shortcut?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuk1maar:
yes, I sure did. It looks like brand new. I did left a big sticker with the Type s/n and such on it. That sticker did shrunk down a little bit but that is not bad I think.

After a hour, should I try to bake it again?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
No, now I think that its perfectly dry. So no more baking yes? :)

Also have you pulled all the metal covers on back side? Have you checked ZIF connectors if there is anything inside them? Check them with magnifying glass - with your own eyes you wont see anything.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuk1maar:
Yes, I pulled all the metal covers on both sides. How do I know if there is something wrong with a ZIF connector? The way I see it, it looks pretty good. No weird stuff going on there. I can see all those tiny things with my eyes perfectly sharp ( I got very good eyes) but is the thing you asked even more tiny than that?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
Dont know if it is tine enough for you eyes, meant those things:

- scratches on pcb wires

- oxidation on/around SMD parts (caps, res, transistors)

- bent (!) or oxidated pins inside ZIFs and other connectors

- darker dots on pcb wires, around components.

- burned pins on e.g. transistors

- tiny cracks on ICs
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuk1maar:
I see dots all around the pcb. All tiny dots. Many on the golden lane which is on the place where the battery goes in. There are no cracks on ICs. No burned pins. No bent or oxidated pins.

Is oxidated the same as those small dots?

Also if I am right, I can fix it by applying circuitry epoxy on it right?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
No, look somethink like this (on left side on ICs pins):

Oxidation is mostly thin white film wchich can be cleaned carefully with soft toothbrush.

Many dots re called TPxxx as test poin, they are always gold or copper and will shine. These are OK.

But dont apply any epoxy on it! Even when you find oxidated parts, just clean them with alcohol as described before.

Or even you could post hi-res photo or scan of your board i could look on it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuk1maar:
Okay I will try to scan it :D

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/192/x10scan.jpg/

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/171/scanx101.jpg/

That's the best I can do :( If you look carefully on the 2nd picture left below and zoom in, then you can see those dots that I see.

Also the small dots that I got on the motherboard are no where near the size of those dots on that picture! Mine are puny! Very tiny.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
Hmm everything that I saw on this (it is not properly focused...) normal board. There are only classical testpoints (some covered with isolating color) and pins that are seen form BGA chips from other side. That is all normal. But must say that this unsharpened photo cannot show so much....
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuk1maar:
:( That's the sharpest I can get T_T My photo camera is rubbish. My other cellphone which had a superb camera is dead, my brothers phone's camera could not sharpen the picture enough :(

http://imageshack.us/f/535/scanx101.jpg/

Look at the point where I drew a black arrow. Download the picture and zoom in to it. You will see some 'puts' in the golden contact.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
See it - its the two antenna contact pins - there might be a little darker dot on contact area on gold pads - its just grazed a little - if you can see the metal around its ok. But this couldnt be problem, only if you will have problem with gsm signal.

However dont know it is just a unsharpened but interested with another contacts on you motherboard - are attached pins looking like this one? Photo is also from X10i. Speaking about them on the right ones, and check wires and oxidation around them.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuk1maar:
The one on the right has some dots which I also got on many places. Most of them are on those golden things. And few of them are on the PCB itself.

Look on the golden lanes! It has all small dots on them. My X10 has that aswell!

Also when I plug my X10 to the charger, if I keep my ear to the phone I hear a small pitch sound. I think it's coming from the vibrator.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
If you mean that golden lanes very close around the edges of PCB its ok - they are only for grounding/shielding purposes.

In case if the vibrator is emitting pitches, it means that here might be shortcut or bad connection.

To prove this you will need a multimeter or oscilloscope.

And one thing - vibrator might be hitched by dry juice. Are you able to rotate with that little pendulum on it? It should be done very softly with fingers. Try it, NOT WITH FORCE !
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuk1maar:
Yeah, it rotates very easily! Smooth as butter. There is a mark on my pcb which goes over one of the golden big lane and hits a tiny lane where the battery is. I think that that mark should not be there. Also I got those small dots on those small darker yellow lanes aswell. Is that bad?

Also this friday,I can get my hands on 100% alcohol so I can gently clean every bit of it. That is a good idea right?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuk1maar:
Remember that I baked the motherboard of that X10 and that it died?

I baked today my dead Samsung Omnia 2 and it works 100% now. Previously it would not start-up, just a blank black screen. After baking it in the oven @ 200 degrees celcius for 7 minutes it works now.

Still don't know what caused that X10 to die. Sure it got wet in orange juice, so did my Omnia 2 (it swum in Lime water for 20minutes).

I did notice a scratch on the motherboard of the X10. It's located at the right top corner.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RooterBooter:
I am interested in learning as much as possible about NT rooting and hacking. I am familiar with the concepts and techniques of rooting, as I have successfully rooted my Samsung Captivate, going on to brick it, unbrick it, install CyanogenMod on it, brick it and unbrick it (again! :D ), and perform various bits of hacking on it, such as allowing non-market app installation without a menu item and/or checkbox for it. Yes, I have AT&T as a carrier. :p

Anyway, I am looking to root a 16 GB NT (I believe, since when I go into >Settings >About your device, it says that there is approximately 13 GB for B&N content, and the phenomenally sucky 1 GB for other content - This doesn't add up to 16, at least not using the math I was taught in school. ;) ).

It is currently running software version 1.4.1, and I would like to backup/keep the games on it after rooting, and possibly installing a different ROM on it.

So, I'm thinking my proper course of action would be to install Titanium Backup from the Android Market (or Google Play, or whatever they want to call it now), backup all the stuff on the tablet, root it, then customize it as I see fit. So, my question is, what do I need to do to accomplish these goals, and in what order?

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated, and I am not afraid of the Thank button, having been raised with manners, in a time before we needed to thank people with buttons. ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
You first have to root to get Google play to download titanium backup and backup your games and stuffs.

After that you can download the app to flash cwm recovery internal, once there I think you know how to flash a rom.

In development section is everything you need and now it has been organised.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Neky:
Hi all,

I have a EU HD2, with Xylograph's HWA ROM. My phone freezes whenever I use data connection for some time (usually after 10 minutes) or if it gets hot (playing Angry birds etc).

When it freezes and I pull the battery out, the phone won't turn on, it just sits at GO GO GO in MAGLDR. Sometimes it shows "FATAL HIT 1" in red font color.

When I checked it for bad blocks via dmesg, it showed 6 of them.

I did task29, repartitioned, flashed MAGLDR 1.13 again, and nothing worked. Bad blocks are still there, and it still freezes when it gets hot.

Is my problem caused by bad blocks or just ROM? No one else is complaining about the freezes. Other faulty hardware?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
I'm not very knowledgeable about bad blocks, but as far as I know they can't easily be corrected (certainly not with a Task29), so I'd guess your phone is probably on its way out. Wait for someone else's opinion to confirm this though because I really don't know much about this sort of stuff.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Neky:
Thank your for your reply.

I don't mind the bad blocks, but the freezes are rather annoying. My back cover will lose it's grip from pulling the battery out.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] michuss:
Just make the partitions larger (e.g. if the rom requires 150/5 make it 200/10 or more), it might solve the problem.

If that doesn't help, try a different rom.

Nice write up. I actually did this exact method yesterday. After installing AOKP my phone started doing some weird sheeit(and i lost my internal) so I flashed this to get back to stock and it works great. Plus ICS side is just bugging the crap out of me with the bugs, also I'm a flashaholic so I've been going back and forth anyways. Before I flashed CWM I did the software update to get to 2.3.6 UCLA3, then flashed CWM, backup, root and I'm back to bug free.....for now.....:) Nice to be able to do this without tripping the counter, k0nanes did, but he did save my arse more than once.
