[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steven1pc:
Hello, I have a Hardbricked epic 4g touch and would like to know if it's possible to get it repaired or replaced without having Sprint service or insurance. I bought it off of Craigslist to use as a wifi device and didn't read carefully and Hardbricked it at the beginning of April. I tried sending it in to Samsung but it was classified as Beyond Economical Repair from Electro-Mechanical damage. I am willing to pay to have it repaired. Thank You
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjstallion:
WTF??? I've had good experience with Samsung's repair, I had an old Epic that I'd bricked (my fault) so I microwaved it for a couple minutes so it wouldn't turn on, and they replaced it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
Yeah I'm pretty sure it is people like you who deserve no service at all, ruining it for everyone else with honest issues or fault device's.

@ OP, I've heard of certain sprint stores replacing your device as long as it's still under the 1 year warranty, some charge a 35$ fee.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattheyu:
The bug was recently acknowledged, so they may start choosing to not repair any device affected by the emmc bug.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/hard-brick-bug-on-galaxy-s-ii-and-note-leaked-ics-kernels/

Reading that will give you an idea of what the actual issue is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ralphie1:
mobiletechvideo.com 50 bucks if they can bring it back to life quick turn around
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steven1pc:
Will they be willing to do it if I had no Sprint service? I tried to contact Asurion and they stated that the only way I could get a repair would be to put a device on an account. I even offered to pay whatever it costs to repair but they aren't able to due to them charging by putting deductible on the Sprint account.

From what I read, it seems to be a bug in the firmware or driver that controls the eMMC chip. I wonder why they still wouldn't offer repair service to people willing to cover the costs...

I tried to contact mobiletechvideo and even got as far as paying for repair service but then I told him how I got my hardbrick and he said he wouldn't be able to repair it and offered me a refund.

sorry to hear sound like its just a paper weight now.

Hi GN users -

Rooted my phone this evening and all (I thought) was going well. I've been trying to do a backup via rom manager but when the phone reboots i get the android with a red exclamation point. This happens when trying to get to recovery mode using ROM manager or just using the volume buttons. Can't get a clean back up.

Used the following files:

recovery-clockwork-5.8.3.1-toroplus.img

Superuser-3.0.7.efghi-signed

Should I have used CWM-SuperSU-v0.87?

If i can access the boot loader can I go ahead and flash with CWM?

Thanks

Denver

Please stop being a douche and just answer the question and notify mods if you think posts are in the wrong section.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
So the problem is that you flashed custom recovery and when you reboot it reverts to stock recovery? If so it's because you're on the stock ROM and it's got a script that restores stock recovery upon reboot. You can either install a custom ROM or do this:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Apparently somebody is blind because I did answer the question... idiot.

Back to the OP you have to reflash your recovery.img then once in recovery flash the super user.zip located here http://tinyurl.com/77cfowp
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
He flashed the correct zips.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
He must not have if he is getting the broken android. So no he did not. The one I linked is the correct zip to flash to keep recovery and root without having to delete all that stuff. I know I did the exact same thing when I first attempted to root my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
And I flashed the zips he posted when I rooted. I trust that Bigrushdog does know what he's doing but that zip seems to have a lot of things in there that he may or may not need. Like, why does it contain a boot.img? He only needs the SU binary to obtain root. His problem must be that he's rebooting. He should fastboot flash recovery, then fastboot reboot recovery and then flash the SU zip from there. And if he wants to stay on the stock ROM he should follow the instructions I posted. I'm not saying you're *wrong* but I am saying that I'm more right :)

EDIT: Rereading his post I'm pretty sure he does have root already, his problem is just that recovery isn't sticking which is a known issue with a known solution as I posted previously. Its the exact same thing on the Nexus S.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
If anything we are equally correct and my method is much simpler. And yes the boot.img is required this is the stock kernel image without the recovery.sh that runs on the stock kernel. This will keep him from having to delete it manually. I know this because the same method was needed for my epic. You have to flash a tweaked stock kernel without the recovery.sh then flash the recovery. Then everything will stick. His issue is he didn't flash the tweaked kernel and upon booting the stock kernel deleted his custom recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Ignore all the previous comments and once you follow This You will be back on track and will be more wise..

Enjoy and cheers

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Actually he would be even more lost and confused.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Just do this:

Then flash your custom recovery and it'll stick.

No need to make it complicated.

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

That has nothing to do with the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Seriously this again? Why are y'all making it much more complicated than it needs to be? Reflash recovery... in recovery flash the zip I linked to. Done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
What's complicated about erasing a script? Flashing a kernel to do the same thing seems much more complicated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
:(

It takes longer.. takes more effort.

Its simpler to flash the su.zip and call it a day. Than have to flash recovery flash a subinary.zip delete the script the reflash recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
It always has to do with the problem.. Why to do a Mess with your phone and not doing a fresh start???

Also in the way getting a wise android man while learning how to fastboot /adb?...

Thats all i got to say.. In my case id start all over and not going deep complicating things and messing up the os

Hi, Guys I have had this phone for a few days and I am loving it so far.

Today I noticed something very weird and I am a little concerned.

I was taking off my original HTC case and I saw that the bottom of the phone and the screen there was a big gap. I was shocked at first because I had never seen it before and I saw big led's on the bottom.

It Looks normal now but I can literally recreate it back if I push the bottom and the screen will separate from one another creating a big gap where I can actually see the led's. I mean once I push it back I have to recreate it for it to happen but other than that it looks normal and there is no light leakage once the push the bottom back on.

Here are the two pictures.

One where the bottom comes off if I push it a little and it could easily happen when I take off the case showing the gree led,

and the second one where I pushed the bottom back up and it looks normal.

https://www.box.com/s/05c56f37bdab763006a7
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ExtractedDeath:
Yeah.. it probably shouldn't do that :p Might as well see about getting it replaced before your warranty is up.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nkd:
Yea I sent amazon an email already, it is cool otherwise, If I don't push too hard or take the case off too hard it wont happen but it literally separates if I push little too hard. Otherwise normal usage it is fine and like now there is no light leakage or anything no one would be able to tell that happens unless they put pressure on the bottom edge.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lunercrab:
Yep just took mine back for that same issue. I could pop the bottom of the LCD out from the housing and snap it back in. They exchanged it. Oddly enough my replacement I can still see a very slight gap but the screen doesn't move like it did on my other one. I'm worried about moisture getting in there. Might have to return this one as well :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nkd:
Yea I am.just glad that it only happens when pushed. I already sent amazon an email and they are pretty good about advance replacement. I mean I would have never noticed it if I didn't push the case too hard to take it off from the bottom. Like now it is perfect lol.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jason.hamilton:
i do believe this is how the access the innards of the phone. To reach the battery etc the screen pops off. It appears that yours was not properly fitted.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Gromet:
My AT&T One X started separating on the bottom left corner this weekend. I am going to call my local corp. store this morning and see if they have any in stock so I can go get a replacement.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wolfedude88:
Both my wife's and my phone do this as well. Noticed it a week ago, when taking off case.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nkd:
It would be nice to know if this a defect or just the way most phones are. I mean it's perfect unless you push down hard to take off the case from the bottom.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Xodium:
When I had a Vivid, it did the same thing near the volume rocker. The border of the phone began separating from the screen. I just pushed in on it and it snapped back into place, but it's still a bit concerning.

I pop the case off of my One X every week to clean out debris, and I haven't noticed it separating yet. (official HTC case)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1661644

I posted this last weekend about my phone doing the exact same thing, though I still havent gotten around to posting pictures. I am just going to refer to yours since they show the same thing. My is doing this on the sides rather than the top or bottom, but it is slowly spreading.

Annoyed because AT&T still doesnt have stock...

I was reading some of the international One X forums - it sounds like about 1 out of 4 have similar build issues on the intl' version. I was hoping they would have their ish together before the US release...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nkd:
I ordered mine from amazon and they have already shipped me a replacement. I will update on how it goes. Hopefully not the same issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Gromet:
Exchanged mine for a new one today at the local corp. store. So far so good.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] amswak:
Lucky! I called around and no stores in the area have them in stock.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wangtang2k:
Hmm...

The gap might be there due to constant handling/movement or swapping covers/cases. I mean, look at this youtube video regarding how the HTC One X can be taken apart for repairs. Notice how the phone is worked from that bottom edge, exposing the screen, before it snaps open. I don't currently have a HOX or else I'd test it first hand, but could this be a cause of the gap? or maybe it just a factory defect in some instances?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nkd:
It could be. If my second one does that than I think it might be that way to open it up. Mine is fine right and looks new. But can snap it open with ease. If someone had given it to me like this I probably would not have known.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] amswak:
In that video it looks like the part she separates is the metal frame/bezel+screen from the polycarb shell. Our issue is the screen itself is coming unglued from the metal frame/bezel. It appears to be a quality control issue in a small percentage of them.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nkd:
That video is very similar to how mine would come off. I would have to push really hard to open up like that but small bump does make it obvious how u would take it apart.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] carporsche:
I had a gap in the bottom right corner where i could see some shiny material . The screen at that end was also slightly raised.

Asked amazon about it and they sent me a new one.

This one too is not perfect as there is still a slight gap between the body and the screen, again at the bottom right. But i guess i am going to keep this one.

waiting for my case.

OFFTOPIC : Why hasnt OP changed his launcher as yet! I feel the sense launcher looks less refined and spoils the beauty of the One X screen :p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nkd:
Got the replacement phone, it doesn't do that. But damn this phone is all pink instead of white on the screen. I can clearly see the whites are not white on this phone. I am thinking about just keeping the original phone since it is always like new unless i force the housing to open. It never just happens, I have to make it happen, but other than that phone is like new and the screen is way more beautiful than the replacement phone. I think the one I got is using a different screen than the original.

Bear with me as I painfully type this out on my evo...

Earlier today, I tried to flash the new miui rom. It wouldnt go past the moto screen.

I try mounting each partition by hand, when I get a cannot mount error.

I try again and it mounts fine.

Try again.. and it fails.

The logs show it as unknown and sometimes as ext3 partition.

This all started from flashing cwm touch( which never showed up, it's the same cwm as before) via CWM(apk) as an attempt to get the amora installer working right.

i figure i need to fastboot and flash jokers custom cwm again. if that doesnt work, ill just get a replacememt until GS3.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rsjc741:
Update/Bump:

I'm trying to re-flash CMW, however...

When starting Fastboot protocol, it tells me that my battery is too low.

This would be all fine and dandy, but I'm unable to charge my phone.

Plugging it into an AC socket results in it being on the Moto screeen for hours (tested and proven). No battery screen comes up / battery is not charged.

Plugging it into a USB port starts the same thing.

going into CWM doesn't do anything either for the battery.

I don't have a spare battery either

I think I'm pretty screwed here.

My EVO won't charge with the case on, and the HTC Arrive was just a horrible phone in general lol...

Anything you can think of to try and get this fixed until I get my replacement or the Galaxy Nexus next week?

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wes_s:
The original widget is on the left (came stock on my xyboard)

My moto skinned version of the miui-animated clock widget is on the right.

It's a bit smaller due to the size of the miui clock widget, but I tried to make it as authentic looking as possible.

the steps I went through were roughly done in this order:

1. open the original apk with 7-zip and extract the folders.

2. opened the images for the clock background and hands

3. cut as much as I could out of them and reformatted them to fit the miui clock widget images corresponding with the appropriate object as well as doing a lot of image editing to get them back into stock moto clock looking shape. I could only use the clock face and hands. I had to recreate some of the shading and the glass outer ring.

4 Opened a copy of the base miui clock widget and deleted the corresponding images

5 added the new images to the apk

6 resigned the apk

after this I installed it and added the "animated anilog clock" widget to my homescreen and resized.
