Hi, I have no power left. how do I keep my phone off so that it can charge high enough so that I can begin to use fastboot again?

I've powered down from the fastboot menu but as soon as there is enough power, it boots into the boot loop again. I need this phone to stay OFF so that it will charge.

Btw, the modaco cyanogenmod9 caused this.

Thank you

unplug the charger, powerdown from fastboot, then plug the charger again, it works for me... just dont touch the power button.. :D

unfortunately, i have a broken sd slot, so my hd2, doesn't read my sd card.

I have my ROM downgraded to a stock wm6,5 Rom with a sd install.

After that, i broke accidentaly the sd slot. I have install again HSLP 2.08 and now the only thing that i can do, is to flash custom win.mobile Roms.

Is there any way, that i could install NAND android Rom or i am stuck on wm for ever?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
You can use option #5 USB flasher of MAGLDR. You have to use a DAF.exe to flash it. Go to this guide and read the section under "2. FLASH YOUR ANDROID ROM". Download the ROM in this thread, you can either just flash that ROM or you can just replace the ROM in the package with the ROM you want to flash. The DAF.exe is in the with the ROM I linked for you to download.
[HD2 General] cmour:
I had no idea about his method.. I had download many custom Android NAND Roms and all was a .zip file, that i could installed with CWR via sd card..

I will try to flash this way, right now.. Thanks again..
[HD2 General] cmour:
edit:

"you can either just flash that ROM or you can just replace the ROM in the package with the ROM you want to flash."

-How i can change the Rom in the package, with the one i want to flash?

I suppose that the Rom is the system.img file. But the one i want is a .zip file.
[HD2 General] hengsheng120:
How did you know your SD card slot was broken? Did you try using other SD cards?
[HD2 General] cmour:
it' s certainly broken.

the sd card doesn't snaps anymore..

i disassembly my hd2 and notice that some parts of the sd slot it's broken, so my sd card doesn't make contact with the pins to the motherboard..
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
A little off-topic question, how do you break an sd card slot ? :confused:
[HD2 General] cmour:
unfortunately, not that difficult..

I pressure it, more than it should be, so after that, i never heard again the sound of snaps..

after the disassembly, i found a pin of the slot broken..bad luck i suppose.. that's the end of story..

for now, i have install the LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM, as T-Macgnolia suggest me,

but i am missing the possibility to install and try any custom Roms for our beloved HD2..

i'm missing sense 3.5, i'm missing ics and many more..

so, in conclusion,

is there a way to flash ANY android Nand Rom from usb??

for now, i'm searching to find the way to change the Rom of the "Stock Desire" to the one i want..

anyone has a way to guide me?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Ok I finally had some time to look into this for you. As you said previously you have to replace the system.img and the boot.img of the ROM I linked for you to download with a system.img and boot.img of the ROM you want to flash.

Now to do this you have to convert the system folder in the .zip file of the ROM to a system.img and replace the boot.img with the boot.img in the ROM .zip file. Sadly though I have not yet found a proff positive guide on how to convert the system folder to a system.img.

This is what I have found out, to do it you will have to either be running Ubuntu or Linux on your computer, either naively or in a virtual machine. Or you can use Cygwin. The below are what somewhat specific references.

You can also use yaffs to extract the system.img from a rom that is already on the device. Or get the sytemimg from a NANDroid backup. Now I know that is not really possible for you on your own. But it is what I have found in my search. Best advice I can give you is to take this information and hit up Google really hard. Hope this helps you some how.....:(
[HD2 General] cmour:
:o :o :o :o

way too difficult procedure to do this!!!

I suppose that i must understand how to be a cook chef

and my knowledges is not so high level!!! :(

certainly, i will make a try.. i will read and read and read, after all Google is our best friend! ;)
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
You have the right attitude about this and it is not has hard to learn as you thinnk. But to help you out even more check out this ROM you can install it the same way as the other ROM I linked for you. Also it may be time consuming but you can start looking through all the different ROM threads to find all the ROMs that are install able via USB like the first ROM I linked. It is more ROMMs like that use this method to install, but you will just have to find them. A little hint too, this is how Android ROMs were first installed before Clockwork Mod was created for the HD2.
[HD2 General] cmour:
is never a waste of time, to try to learn something new .. whether it resulted in something works or not..

thanks for all your hints T-Macgnolia..

edit:

is any chance to find a schematic diagram of the motherboard?

i could think a patent to read again my sd card..

or any aftermarket mini sd slot that will fit into the hd2 motherboard?

i would love to try to resoldered a new one, if i have a spare part of it..

i also looking for a motherboard board to buy, but i can find only Tmobile versions..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madnoir:
I had a little mishap with my phone and a little bit of Diet Pepsi spilled on it as I was changing batteries so some of it got to the guts of the phone. The phone is still turning on but hanging at the "Samsung" screen I also have access to the download mode and have even tried flashing it a few times and various "unbricking" methods, Odin always said it was successful but nothing has changed at all. I'm kind of at a loss at this point. Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Did you remember to include the PIT file and make sure repartition was checked?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madnoir:
Yeah, I even just tried again to make sure. I'm using "Victory_8G_100528.pit" and "cwm-5.0.2.7-epic4g.tar" Odin says it succeeded but I try to get into the recovery menu the lights (the keyboard and Android buttons under the screen) turn on but nothing shows up on the screen.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wireless.praying.mantis:
Your Samsung Epic 4G is more than likely toast so pray you have the $4/month ERP or the $8/month TEP feature on your Sprint account. Carbonated beverages no matter how much get on the PCB immediately cause corrosion to it. If you don't have either feature on your account, just bend over and grab your ankles if you decide to pay full SRP for a new handset because you have to wait 20 months from your last full discount upgrade to get another one.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
No, you need the FC09 tar from the development section. Or the EL30 tar from inside the roll-up sticky in development on How to Restore a semi-bricked Epic.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wireless.praying.mantis:
The freezing/lock up at the Samsung screen isn't from a software related issue. It's from liquid damage substained after the Pepsi hit the PCB. There are various microcircuits on the PCB that handle various functions pertaining to the boot up process and more than likely were hosed by the liquid damage.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjayman:
Yeah grab ankles and prepare to pay 80 on CL....us lucky ones well pay 100 deductible for our refurb!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madnoir:
Tried that, Odin succeeded but it's still hanging at the Samsung logo so I must have damaged the board like the others are saying. Fortunately my contract is over in November and I have another phone I can use until then.

Heya' guys,

1. What is the best way to download music for free, on the phone?

Is the stock music widget the only and best way to listen to music?

2. When driving to unknown locations, is it sufficient to turn on just the mobile data, or is it advisable to turn on GPS as well.

Many thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] jerminhu:
I used ES File Manager to edit a .ini file in data/data/org.gaeproxy (a proxy app) and then changed its permission from rw-rw-rw- to r--r--r-- after saving it.

After I opened the app, I checked the property of the .ini file using ES File Manager and was shocked to find the Last Modified field was updated to the right moment when I opened the app. And the editing I made to the file was gone. It seemed to me that the app had overrided the read-only permission of the file and edited its content.

But then I supprisingly found that I was able to modify the same file and save the change while it's still read-only. How is this even possible?

Both ES File Manager and the .ini file have been granted superuser permissions. Is this a possible cause? I've found this annoying problem across different devices and different ROMs. So I think there might be something I need to know about the file permission system in Android.

How can I make this .ini file truly read-only even to the app using it?

EDIT END

Hi

I have Sony tablet S bought in Sweden.

This is from settings - about tablet:

model number - sony tablet s

Android version - 3.2

Kernel version - 2.6.36.3 integ-build@build10#1

Build number - 1.0.001100011

I would really like to root it, because I used to some apps that need root on my phone, and I'd like to use it on tablet to.

But, as I understand there is no way to root tablet with my kernel version.

The only update offered to me through System update is Android 4.0.3 update, which is, as I understand, also not rootable.

Is there a way to root my tablet?

If not, is it better to upgrade to ICS (which I'm so eager to do), or just wait?

Thank you!

Sorry if this has been asked a million times before.
[Sony Tablet S] xyancompgeek:
Hi, I live in India and i got my tab with kernel10 too, meaning that it was supposed to be 'unrootable'. Then came an upgrade (not to ICS) to HC 3.2.1r2. I upgraded it and voila, my kernel changed to kernel5! If there is a possible update to a newer version of HC, TAKE IT. (You can find this out by checking this file for the firmware for your country) If that doesn't work, upgrade to ICS by PRE-ROOTING it (V.Imp!!!!) using condis AIO Tool.

To know how to do that refer to this thread under the ICS TUTORIAL v0.6 section.

P.S: I havent used this because I dont plan to upgrade to ICS! Use at your own risk!

---------------If I Helped, click the Thanks button!---------------​
[Sony Tablet S] kulen:
thanks for answer

I did see people upgrade to another HC update and they get another kernel build.

But to me it is only offered ICS upgrade. And I have no options but "update" and "later".

Is there some other way to upgrade to another HC update?

your first link doesn't work. it says 410 - gone
[Sony Tablet S] Mahaco:
Restart your browser and retry the link i can assure you that the link works fine ;)
[Sony Tablet S] kulen:
Couldn't open it

but I guess you posted link to this http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...8abf29/4fd4da6b/1/1/1/0/5/7/3/HC_Tablet_S.txt

My tablet was bought ins Sweden - but I don't see Sweden on the list.

However I have this line in /system/build.prop :

ro.product.locale.region=US

How do I check my region?

I see AiO has region changer, but I don't see if it can check which region is now set?

And if I find correct region and link how can I update it?

I can't root now so I guess I would have to use Sony system update? but where do I set that link?
[Sony Tablet S] Mahaco:
Yep since you have kernel 10 you won't be able to obtain root,

Just install the update it could be 3.2.1r2 and if your country is already supported you will get 4.0.3 :)
[Sony Tablet S] kulen:
well,

The update is 4.0.3 so I don't need luck for that.

What I want is to root tablet. That's why I didn't update yet.

I would like, if possible, to update to some other HC without build# 10 kernel, if anyhow possible, so I can root it.
[Sony Tablet S] Mahaco:
Believe me there issnt a wsy to root your tablet, there would be a chance after installing 3.2.1r2 OTA but that issnt the case,
[Sony Tablet S] kulen:
I do believe you.

just hope it's "no way for now"

I had some hopes because of this lists. I don't understand why are this links important if there's a no way to trick system update to use them.

When I saw that, I hoped there's some way. but I guess I would have found it on xda-devs if there is one.

if only I new what will be able to root first, kernel 10 or ICS.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Ok a bit of misscommunication here i think.

So you have 3.2 kernel 10?

Then install one of these, either WIFI only or WIFI + 3G

3.2.1R2 Wifi Only

http://info.update.sony.net/ST003/nbx03_011/contents/0008/signed-nbx03_011-ota-0042.002.zip

3.2.1 WIFI + 3G

http://info.update.sony.net/ST003/nbx03_014/contents/0002/signed-nbx03_014-ota-0042.004.zip

These are 3.2.1r2 installs, not sure what kernel they are but it is your best bet to obtain root. Hopefully they are not kernel 10. These are straight from sony servers so might be updated to k10.

To install go into recovery and select file of SD card.

Then run condi's AIO and select root, it wiill tell you if it can be rooted or not.....

If that works and you would like to ICS then use the program to preroot one of the following:

4.0.3 Wifi Only

http://info.update.sony.net/ST003/nbx03_011/contents/0009/signed-nbx03_011-ota-120410025.zip

4.0.3 WIFI + 3G

http://info.update.sony.net/ST003/nbx03_014/contents/0003/signed-nbx03_014-ota-120427016.zip

GOOD LUCK :D

P.S You could not find update as netherlands, norway, sweden, portgual are all the same file.

Have updated in my update.txt accordingly.
[Sony Tablet S] kulen:
so I can do it after all?

Mine is WiFi only so I guess the first one would be right.

But it seems this is portugal/netherland version?

Mine was bought in sweden. but in build.prop there's something about US, so I'm not sure which region it actually is.

so, why this version? Is it really the right one?
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Yes I am sure, I am the orignal finder of atleast half of the update files ++++++ Condi decrypt that update and confirmed the are all the same. :D

You can check the nbx03_011 (wifi only) under build.prop if you like.

Tablet will not update unless it is the correct file anyway. Just do as previous post says and you MAY get root. (Still not sure of 3.2.1R2 kernel version, but heres hoping.)

Please let me know how you get on......

P.S I help others as I have no chance at root atm but have had it before lol

P.S.S You know how to get into recovery???
[Sony Tablet S] kulen:
OK,

thank you very much

it is downloading now, but it's late here so I won't try it tonight.

I will definitely post results here.

Rooted...but unable to install ICS

Hi, I just bought a Tablet S and also found it was a HC kernel 10 build. I figured I would try the HC 3.2.1R2 update (for my region), update went fine and now I am on a kernel #6 build, which with condi's tool is now rooted.

Now if I could only get the bloody thing to accept the ICS rom I've created with condi's tool everything would be great. The AIO tool tells me everything has gone fine, and then on the final leg, as I try to flash my signed rom, I just get installation error. Over and over again.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? I've searched the thread but been unable to obtain a working solution.

Great to hear, now you can do the same to ICS if you wish. By pre-rooting adding backdoor etc @ condi's AIO thread, then you can always revert back to HC 3.2.1R2 if you don't like ICS.
