[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teichopsia:
If the root was succesful, download a rom to your pc.

Can you enter recovery?

Cell phone off. Press and hold down volume button+power button. What happens? Use the volume buttons to move and power button to press enter, if the option shows up.

Do you have installed drivers properly?

Try reinstall drivers and try different USB port.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyChu:
how can i install drivers without connecting device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyChu:
I solved the problem)

1) Open device manager in windows

2) Connect usb cable to your phone pushing vol up button

3) Device manager will show you fastboot device for 2-3 sec (before the phone go to charge mode) Right click on fastboot device and install drivers from C:\Android\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver

4) Reconnect usb cable pushing volup button

I have the same problem but I dont know if cuz my PC is way too slow. I dont even have a chance for it to show up :( But I know it connected cuz of the alert sound.

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 AM ----------

Haha I solved my problem by installing the driver in safe mode. Things went much quicker here :))
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerre:
The solution that worked for me was:

Keep the Device Manager open

Connect the phone and quickly choose to change driver

Disconnect the phone again (because it goes into normal mode)

Choose to install a driver from the computer, choose "All devices" and "have disk".

Browse to the folder with the .inf

Now, before clicking Next, connect the phone again and quickly hit Next.

I think it took me two hours of googling and trial before I could finally get a custom ROM installed...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gippo4:
Hey

I can't even know where will the fastboot device appear to change driver. What can I do? My sola goes in charge mode very quickly :( I plugged my usb cable in almost 100 times and tried everything. :(

Okay, I'm totally lost. When I hold volume down button "s1boot download" appers in device manager, but it can't install a proper driver. I know I need s1boot fastboot and hold volume up button but it doesn't appears. Only the portable device with an H:/ partition :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricstc:
Make sure phone is OFF

While plugging in the USB cable, hold and keep holding the UP VOLUME key

You will hear a system sound played

Do all these while you have Device Manager on screen

Exclamation mark appears on the ADB driver icon

Chose the option to look for the driver in your hard disk - point to where the drivers are.

If using Win8 then you need to disable signing of drivers first (search on net how to)

So far you managed to do this or not?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dingsbumms69:
Hey, nothing is working for me. I did the steps above, but with no chance to install any driver. At the driver manager, the s1boot fastboot-thing is showing up for some seconds and then disappear. i can't change the driver or install the new one.

Any suggestions? I want to change to cm9 so much, because the stock rom really sucks...it is slow and buggy :(

Edit: I found this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1554632 and it works for me!!! :)

Edit 2: It seems, that you have to do this steps everytime you flash the boot.img to the phone.

Is there a way to flash a recovery without having the Sola bootloader unlocked?

still no fastboot

device manager opened

phone off, holding vol. up plugging in usb

NOTHING happens on computer no sound, device manager doesn't refreshes, no purple led on the phone, just enters charging quickly

tried another usb port

tried to enter fastboot from flashtool,

tried to enter with command adb reboot bootloader / adb reboot fastboot

NOTHING happens just reboots normally

So I don't have a clue what's going on there, may the fastboot disappeard or broken? :confused: :(

BUT I used the fastboot for a couple weeks ago in this computer in this usb port, since that I tried some rom does it matter?

Solution

For those who still dont get it to work by "Nerre's" method.

The procedure will be same. You have to download latest android_winusb.inf file. I couldnt get it to work bcz of this. I was using the file from sony site. It was giving me some certificate error. Then I used the lates file downloaded from sdk kit. Then this procedure worked.

Make sure to choose "Android Boot loader Interface" after you select ...winusb.inf file. Then before clicking next, reconnect your device in fastboot mode.

Hope this helps someone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LithiumTheory:
Issues with the phone at low DPI settings is a known issue - anything less than 182 dpi and the phone app crashes (I think Slim ICS uses 160 DPI).

To fix it, just install the modified .apk at paradoxxx's thread here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1530179

Scroll down to the "Modpack" section and there should be a link that says "160DPI Fix Phone".

1. CM9 for Desire Z and Gio is different. Developer who work also different.

2. Desire Z is ARMv7 while Gio is ARMv6, ARMv7 have more support on CM9 than ARMv6. Because of hardware, I think ;)

3. The community on Desire Z is bigger than Gio, so basically many developers to develop many ROM.

I dont understand how the touchscreen works, is there no digitzer or is the digitizer integraded in the amoled screen? I repair phone,s but HTC uses a glas digitizer and samsung not.

i hope somone could tell my how it works,

sorry for my bad englisch,

Greets

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhundven:
This should have been asked in the Q&A forum.

The difference between the galaxys and note is that the note has a wacom touchscreen & pen. The galaxys only has a touchscreen and does not support pens like the note has.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wippie:
i dont think you understand me,

I repair smartphone,s and sell them. Normally a touchscreen contains of a plate of glass (digitzer) and the lcd screen that is under the digitzer. so you look trough the digitzer at the lcd and the digitzer register what you are doing with you finger. So, the galaxy S1 en the galaxy S plus has a screen within a digitzer or somthing. On ebay you can buy glass frontplate (not a digitzer a glass frontplate) what fell over the screen, but i dont find a video how you can instal these. normally you can simply put the lcd and the digitzer out but if you do that by a s1 you scratch the screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintel_mac:
From what I can see there, it is a single unit. So I would guess you could not only replace the digitizer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
As i recall they are glued together and really hard to separate,that's also why u rarely see dust and moist under the glass of the sgs
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragon0501:
I had a broken glass and i had to change the hole unit. It is very expensive. Glass and lcd costs 170 €.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
wintel is right. The digitizer is fused/glued onto the LCD screen directly. There's no easy way to separate the two. Theoretically you can buy the two separately, but then you will have to find a way to glue the two together yourself.
[HTC One X] ahm09:
I know some will say its answered somewhere in the forum , but i searched and it didnt give me a clear answer,

if i unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM and rooted my phone wothout flashing a new ROM, will i lose the ability to recive OTAs?

one more thing (sorry im asking alot) unlocking bootloader says that it will erase all phone data , does that include the SD card part of our phone since its internal ? will i lose the photos stored , or its just like flashing an RUU

Thank you so much :)
[HTC One X] dr9722:
Firstly, yes you will lose the ability to receive OTA updates. With regards to the SD Card this will remain untouched.

Thanks for your quick reply , so if i managed to download the OTA from the web can i flash them Manually knowing that i still have the stock ROM
[HTC One X] dr9722:
Are you planning on using a stock rom or a custom rom?

EDIT: Sorry didn't read properly. Yes if you are using stock rom then you should be able to download the OTA update from somewhere on XDA. If you are using a custom rom then the chances are the Dev would have already updated there rom to the latest base.
[HTC One X] ahm09:
for the time being I'm staying with the stock ROM , my only aim here is to get root access nothing more

[HTC One X] phonixloo:
Sorry to ask additional question:

If I intended to use stock ROM only and continue to receive OTA update but with rooted phone. What is the best suggestion?
[HTC One X] ahm09:
in my understanding , you will have to unlock the bootloader and install a CWM recovery to root your phone and keep the stock ROM, but you will have to download and install the OTAs manually

see this link for more info : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1577671

Just flash back the stock recovery, relock the bootloader, reboot the phone, receive OTA update and install. Then re-root process again to have root access.

Just experiment with it by increasing it by one each time. I used it for a while for the external speaker (in call has always been fine for me) but as co pilot is quite loud I didn't need it anymore but it is possible to blow the speakers on this thing so be careful :) oh, n I never used the eq settings, just the Max volume

There is a setting for In-Call volume though..what's it for then? I'm confused.

At one point it was more or less to a state test,now it seems it doesn't work,at least on ICS.

If you want to test it,backup your rom or at least your build.prop.If I remember right some users have encountered some issues...

The option is still here...Because Meltus has not removed it or maybe it works for Gingerbread...

Background: This is day three for me. I don't own a computer, and after road testing the Note in my hands, I probably never will.

Quick thoughts for the inexperienced:

This place is a vast resource. What really helps me is YT. To see it done visually is worth it's weight in gold.

Assume you are going to break **** and void the warranty. I labeled this whole adventure under "learning experience". I'm on my forth ROM, each one teaches me something new. Embrace it. If you break it, yes it sucks, but stop and think why did it happen, what steps did I do and what should I have done.

You get a healthy mix of people. Some can be dicks, others are far, far too kind. My take is, like life, the trick is finding the right crowd for your tastes. There are some wickedly talented people on this and other forums.

Also: Beer Money helps.

I will NEVER accept stock overlays again on any phone. Never.

YMMV. Hope that helps somebody.
