[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] svtnos2002:
Hello XDA friends. This is my first official posting on the XDA site and I'm in need of serious help.

I've noticed that intense research and development has been put into this phone. With so many rom selections available for the MT4GS I decided to try out several different roms kind of playing around. Many of the roms available were very well put together.

I decided to try out the Doubleshot MIUI v0.3 as I have used on other devices in the past and liked its customization. After installing the rom I made some adjustments in the settings to personalize my phone. Everything was working fine until I rebooted my phone and now it is hard-bricked. My device is S-Off with bootloader unlocked, and prior to installing MIUI I formatted all data, Dalvik, and system. I don't know what I did to brick my device and I can't find similar issues among others.

Issue Details:

When I have the phone powered off then hit the power button my backlight will slightly light up (very dim with no splash or image), and it will vibrate (Like on a normal boot). What else is crazy is every 37 seconds it will vibrate, and this is ongoing if I let the phone sit in that state.

If I have the phone off and plug it in a power source I get no love.

I'm unable to access HBOOT or Recovery mode, and the phone is not detected when connected to PC.

Please help me.......
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
that looks like a screen/digitizer problem. I don't think you're even bricked seeing as you didn't mess with any partitions according to what you did above. Also if the phone vibrates and the backlight turns on then it's still alive.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] svtnos2002:
Thanks for the response. I'm sure the screen is fine. I performed the reboot when the issue first happened. This phone is driving me crazy.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
wait u said you phone isn't connecting to adb right?

Did you try Fastboot?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] svtnos2002:
I'm not able to bring up the HBOOT menu to enter fastboot mode.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mattlowry:
have you tried a battery pull?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] svtnos2002:
Thanks for the reply. I have tried pulling/replacing the battery and didn't have any luck. I also have two spares and the issue continues........

I can't figure it out, or figure what I did exactly to cause this.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] svtnos2002:
Any other ideas?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mattlowry:
does adb recognize it when it is plugged in?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CouttsPhotog:
I found a guide for compiling AOSP for 4.0.3, but I'd like to do it for 4.0.4. I'm more interested in learning about roms and stuff, but I don't want to use the rom kitchen. I have a working dev environment (ubuntu 10.04, followed the setup procedures on the AOSP site).

I have my repo sync'd and ready to build, but I read that I need proprietary libraries for my phone. Unfortunately I don't see anything about the cdma G nexus on this page (only maguro):

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers

So.. where do I find these? I've been doing a lot of searching but unfortunately I can't find any information on this. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
The bottom of the page you linked has a few binaries for the CDMA Nexus. Other than those, use the extract-files.sh script in the device folder (device/samsung/toro) and if you run that with your phone attached and adb enabled/setup, it will pull the rest of the files that you need off of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CouttsPhotog:
Thanks! The files in that guide were from 4.0.3, would these be different from 4.0.4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mikeydangerous:
So, I'm working with an AT&T branded Galaxy Note. I flashed the UCLD3 leaked ROM, then rooted and flashed the T-Mobile radio, but it still just shows a circle with a strikethrough and says that there's no SIM card installed. I've tried the KID radio, as well as the VK1 and Blaze radios, but they all come up with the same problem.

Am I missing something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Iphony89:
Are you using a gb or ics rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Iphony89:
Stupid question... u said you flashed the leaked rom.... you need to flash a ics modem as far as I'm aware the ones you used are for gb
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mikeydangerous:
I flashed the leaked ROM first, then flashed the ICS radio, but it still won't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TJBunch1228:
Ummmm...... Did you unlock the phone for use off at&t's network? You didn't mention that and what you are describing is exactly what happens if you use an off-network SIM in a locked phone.

I was from stock gb rom 2.3.6 XXLA6. After stuck at 100% for around 1:30 hrs. I manual restarted. It continue to install and now 4.0.3 XXLQ2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krypton_the_slayer:
I tried about 15 times before success. Problem with overloaded servers I think. Make sure you're on USB2 port, as it won't work.

Do a restart after installing Kies. Seems that drivers may not correctly install, even though it doesn't ask you to restart.

Also, all the times it failed with timeouts, it never actually got to the part where the Phone displays green Android Updating screen WITH the blue updating bar. I got to the Android updating bit before, but no blue progress bar.

I was on stock UK La6, upgraded to stock LQ2 ICS, then rooted with cwm method. No problems with data wipes for me either. Still not to be recommended yet though!

Also I installed the speedmod kernel, only to get the cifs module. Lets me play videos from my server as if they were on the phone. Easy way of uploading/downloading to and from server too.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
Ive had my Razr since Dec and ive loved it. Im not a super user, as root is enough for me and I dont use custom ROMs. But still, everything with Moto has been frustraiting with bootloaders, ICS, ect.

I am also grandfathered in for unlim VZ data, as I typicalled use 25ish GB per month. Ive been worried about loosing it with a future upgrade.

Well it turns out that I have an upgrade at the end of this month... and the SIII is coming out (pre ordres start tomorrow). And Vz said you will keep unlim data if you preorder (supposed anyways):

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/06/0...erizon-and-you-keep-your-unlimited-data-plan/

http://www.droid-life.com/tag/galaxy-s3/

The SIII looks slick and I like some of the new features. Only thing I can think of right now is that it does not have HDMI, and I do use that a few times a month..

So if I chose to upgrade, Im sure I could sell my Razr for a couple hundred and basically pay for my upgrade. Or if I didnt like the SIII, i should have the 14 days to return it. Or if I didnt like it, I could sell it to another VZ customer who doesnt have an upgrade yet. I could make a little money and save them from paying full retail on it.

Really not sure what I wanna do right now.

comparision of some phones

[Motorola Droid RAZR] hotleadsingerguy:
I would be very careful about upgrading to the Galaxy S III. It uses a variation of the same radio set in the Galaxy Nexus, and the reception is *horrible* on that phone (compared to the Razr or Rezound). In many places, I had no data signal at all (-120dBm), but in those same places my RAZR Maxx and Rezound both have 2+ bars of 4G and -89dBm...which I realize is not the 4G signal strength, but the results are in the speeds.

Using the Nexus in places that I had 0 bars I'd have no signal (couldn't connect at all). Turn on the RAZR Maxx or Rezound and I connect with 2-3 bars of 4G and speedtests average around 4-7Mbps. Not awesome, but at least I have signal (and it's still faster than most 3G). That kind of compromise is a *big* one. I work close to the lake and have absolutely no data signal at work on the Nexus...yet I have a great signal all day long with my RAZR.

I'd say give it a shot and see how it performs, but make sure to pay attention to how strong of a signal you have.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ice9tech:
Mo-to! Mo-to! Mo-to!

Then it's up to you to decide, man. The SIII also has a higher resolution screen, but I feel the Motorola screen is much more "natural looking"... Not to mention the SIII has a terrible design compared to the Razr.

Really though, look at what forum where you're asking this in.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
My friend at work has the Nexus and his signal here is fine. As for what kind of signal i would get at home, well that could be a different story.

But they also just got the .04 update and it was supposed to fix some radio issues. He said he could notice a difference on it as well. Hopfully they didnt make the same mistake on the SIII
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hotleadsingerguy:
You know I don't work in the same place as your friend, right? lol Where *I* work, I get no signal at all in the Nexus...yet all of the other Verizon LTE phones get perfectly fine signal. It's a known problem with the Nexus radio (Samsung makes poor CDMA radios).

And that was on 4.0.4. I've had it for about 2 months already. The one going out now is the same one I've had. It did improve reception, but not at work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
If you don't use custom ROMs, why do you mind the bootloader? :o
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmiLey497:
My ex gets LTE on her RAZR Maxx while on my GNEX I Would get 3G. The Nexus does have a ****ty radio compared to the RAZR. Also the handoff between 3G and LTE is not that great even with the 4.0.4 radios.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iolinux333:
SIII voice quality (outgoing) is HORRIBLE!! Call into someone's voicemail with both phones and record yourself reading a paragraph. Then listen to yourself. It's astonishing to me that people put up with such horrible outgoing quality.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
+1 on the useless radio.

The SIII isn't branded as a "Nexus", so it's not a Google-pick. You'd just be buying another shackled phone... And if you're going to buy a shackled phone, buy one with a good radio.

This advice comes with a 100% money-back guarantee. If for any reason you are not satisfied with this advice, I will refund every penny you paid for it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wingdo:
Not sure if this means anything to you, but I just upgraded to a RAZR MAXX knowing full well the S3 is due in a week or so. For me cost was part of the issue as I was looking to do an upgrade while still keeping my grandfathered unlimited data plan. I am just 12 months into my contract and not eligible for a new subsidized phone, but apparently they are clearing stock of the MAXX as the HD is approaching and I got the MAXX for $199.

My only complaint is the yellowishness of the whites. I'm taking this one to the store tomorrow to see if I can get one with white whites. I'm using a color calibrator to increase the blues to get me a real white, but that seems to be a work around and not a fix.

Other than that I cannot get over the thinness of the phone even though this is the thicker of the two RAZRs. Very comfortable to use. I'm not a Blur fan, but I love Moto hardware. Great voice quality.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
Yes I understand what you're saying, but you misunderstood what i was trying to get across.

Beings that my friend at work has the Nexus and gets good service... I too would get good service there... but idk about at home. Its just one of the major places i would be on my phone the most. If the S3 will have the same radio, well then it should work fine at work for me.

What phone did you upgrade from?

Since ive already got the regular Razr, I fell like it would be a waste of money to spend my upgrade on a Maxx. You can buy the conversion kits for like $127 shipped (last time i checked anyways) with everything you need.
[HTC One V] jaytxvo:
My HTC one V, on the first day the video recording worked fine. However after that, when I try to record a video it will not work. The camera is fine and everything just when I press the record button, it makes the sound that it is recording, but there no timer to indicate that it is recording. None of the options work except for the HOME button. When I click the HOME button, the camera is still "recording" mode but it never records anything. I have to restart the phone to end the camera process.

I am planning to root and flash a custom ROM to see if it fix it but I am waiting on a new release of a ROM. In case this does not fix it has anyone know how to fix this issue.
[HTC One V] sumairmh:
Try this...

I was having a similar problem with the music app... i went to app manager, force stopped the app and cleared data... that fixed it... you should try that with the camera app before flashing...
[G2 and Desire Z General] captainreynolds:
Everything works fine (except for the camera focus, which I can live with since everything is in focus always as it is because it shoots at like f/8). What's weird is that it has survived so many other falls onto concrete, and this just happens now.

I really need to replace the glass as soon as possible. It looks pretty unprofessional cracked like this.. I am out of warranty (bought the phone in September 2010 from T-Mobile), and T-Mobile no longer has any G2s :(.

I've looked through a few people who have mentioned replacing their front glass, and would like to do so myself. Anyone have advice regarding how I could do this?

less than $20 for new digitizer, takes 30min -- leave yourself an hour if your new to this
[G2 and Desire Z General] captainreynolds:
Sweet thanks! Looking forward to getting this done. Will keep this thread updated.
[G2 and Desire Z General] captainreynolds:
Ordered it from the website. Hopefully will get it soon.
[G2 and Desire Z General] silverton:
I highly advise AGAINST super glue for securing the digitizer.
[G2 and Desire Z General] captainreynolds:
Okay - what would you recommend instead?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
the glue that is on your phone now will sufice. when heat it up with hair dryer (be carefull if you use a heat gun) most of it will stay along the frame of your phone. just keep it warm and quickly put new digitizer back. have done it twice now with g2s and countless times with g1s and no dust has ever seeped in.

but with g1s i often replaced the casing as well. here i would use 3m double sided tape that worked very well. if you are also replacing the case or for some reason dont feel the glue is enough use this
[G2 and Desire Z General] Darkseid83:
I recommend 2mm 3M adhesive tape. I have used it for the 3 g2s I own and it holds darn well. Its less then 5 bucks on amazon and you will have quite a bit of it. Dont use glue. I always take off that old black tape.

http://www.amazon.com/Adhesive-Sticker-Digitizer-Supersonic-Incredible/dp/B004WIQW3U
[G2 and Desire Z General] captainreynolds:
Okay - thanks for this!

The tape doesn't make the digitizer bulge away from the surface at all? I feel like it would. I'll give that link a buy though, just in case.
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
the tape he and i is refuring to is thinner than paper, i have not needed it for a g2 before but only have done 2 digitizers on these so i cant say its never necessary unless you are replacing the case as well, but its cheap to have around and may be needed
[G2 and Desire Z General] Darkseid83:
No if you stack it right I had to stack three pieces of that tape to flush it. It does not move around if you tape in the right spots. Its very thin and almost invisible.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
That is weird... I did the SAME thing last week lol! I busted it on the concrete too and everything. It scratched up the bezel pretty bad too. I had insurance so I ended up getting the MT4GS (aka HTC Doubleshot). I love how speedy it is but I REALLY miss the development here and the GREAT community here in the Desire Z/G2 sub forum:( As far as repairing/replacing the screen (the digitizer specifically), everyone here gave great advice. I used to repair phones for a number of years and we always used a sealant very similar to double sided tape that y'all were mentioning. It basically was foaming glue that acted similar to silicon or something. I agree that about not using super glue. Bad idea. Also be careful with the ribbon wires and watch a few videos prior to disassembly. There were a few tear down threads here I'd keep handy while repairing. Good luck to ya!;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] anoymonos:
Make sure you are VERY careful when removing the lcd its very fragile. I reaced my digitizer easy and was careful and lcd got mrssed up ie no pic. Ordered a new lcd and it had not brightness control always dim waiting for new replacement now. Side note once new screen comes in I will be selling this phone if anyone is interested i have 3 of them only need 2
[G2 and Desire Z General] captainreynolds:
Son of gun. The last three screws I need to remove do NOT fit with the philips head screwdriver that was recommended. Now I get to scramble around with my phone in pieces trying to find a smaller philips head screwdriver. Awesome.

They are philips head, not torque screws. I checked and triple checked.
[G2 and Desire Z General] captainreynolds:
Anyone have any idea what to do here? I can't find smaller screwdrivers anywhere. Home depot has got nada.
[G2 and Desire Z General] anoymonos:
Go out and buy a precision screwdriver set or maybe a eye glasses repair kit. Only the first 3 screws are torx T5. Also there is 7 of them tiny ones not 3. There is 3 on either side and one more under keyboard backstop
[G2 and Desire Z General] captainreynolds:
No it's the three screws across the back at this time (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=u-dR8CHEGjY#t=251s).

They are smaller than all the others and I still cannot get them out. I cannot find an eye glasses repair kit or precision screwdriver set small enough.
[G2 and Desire Z General] captainreynolds:
http://www.repairsuniverse.com sent me the screwdrivers for the Inspire 4G. Pretty sure the digitizer is for the G2 but I'll have to check the screen sizes to make sure.

Update. Fry's elecronics had a repair kit for smartphones that fit the screws. Still working on it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] anoymonos:
if you keep watching the video you will see that when he removes the sticky keyboard backstop there are three more identical size screws mirrored from the ones you are talking about right on edge of phone, and then when you remove that piece after you remove the screws there wiil be one more (this makes number 7 ) screw of the same size tiny. Also i dont think it is metioned in the video but when you go to remove the keyboard backstop (the shiny piece under the sticky strip ) use your safe pry tool to unlock the tabs from the edge and then you must slide the piece towards the center of the phone it does not just pry off there are tiny tabs holding one side down opposite of the screws ( edge of phone ) And as far as the screwdriver for eye glasses repair, is it you cant find one or it just does not work? You should be able to find one at any walgreens or equivalent drug store or pharmacy. You could also try a hobby shop they might have something that will work. I personally use quite a big screwdriver to disassemble you just need to make sure it has a sharp point at the tip of the star ( mine is a phillips number 00 ) Believe me once you get it apart once you will be that was so easy.
[G2 and Desire Z General] captainreynolds:
Done.

Thanks for all your help. Looks like new!
