tried it and nothing happened...also SD builds should work but still they don't...so I don't exactly know whats the problem with my phone...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tsagas:
Is it possible that all these happens cause of my SD card?maybe it s not fully compatible or low class or something?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Some SD cards aren't compatible with MAGLDR (I know that because mine isn't, it simply can't launch SD builds from MAGLDR) but I've never heard of one being incompatible in WinMo (although it's possible). You mentioned WP7 - perhaps it's something to do with the way Windows Phone formats SD cards?

Oh, and also please use the edit post feature rather than triple posting :)

yes,i know...but i am on winMo6.5 so that's not the problem
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
These things aren't as consistent as that. For example, as I've said my SD can't run SD Android when in MAGLDR, but it worked without a hitch when I used WinMo+SD Android. Same thing applies for CWM, works fine. Although it might not necessarily be the right answer, don't just rule it out like that. Is the card read on your PC?

Formatting with an indestructible Nokia I think ;)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kameirus:
you need to find someone with a nokia and put your sdcard in it and format it
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elesbb:
Can't you format it using hp USB storage utility? Or even a Linux terminal? Or even mini tool partition wizard? I would first recommend hp USB storage utility, as that wipers everything, including the master boot record. I'm surprised you are having issues with bad blocks for sd. Unless you have a fake card considering you said it's a cheap Chinese 32gb. What happens is they take a 2gb or other super cheap sd card and modify it to show as a higher size, this then makes files and parts of files broken and lost. Thus rendering the file in operable. I'm not saying this is true, but it wouldn't hurt to go buy a cheap 2gb from Walmart and test it out. Also when copying files, one should use an adapter and not the phones USB mass storage option. Just a few things to try :)

ive asked someone i know who has used wp7 to came and see if he can help out in anyway
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sneakyghost:
"Someone" is here now but has to go to work right now unfortunately.

I have a HD2 with 3 bad blocks, one of them in the IPL/SPL region, which already caused a hard brick on it which i could manage to revive giving it to someone with a jTag box.

This is just an anecdote and not applicable to you, just to tell you i've had my troubles too :D

in general there is one thing for sure: bad blocks are handled by the memory controller alone and as such - in theory - do not affect the operating system as there are reserve adresses assigned for each bad block which the OS then is redirected too.

However, for some odd reason WP7 and WinMo do cope with this mechanism very well but Android seems to somehow stubbornly ignore the redirecting and get stuck at the bad blocks each time it hits one, causing every imaginable sort of random misbehaviour. Which is very annoying.

However, since you got a Tmob device with plenty of chip space there should be absolutely no problem increasing your partition size and have the thing run off SD-EXT mainly and only use small portitions of the NAND for the OS like the Team Blue Droid ROM does (runs perfectly on my bad blocked device btw, only EU version).

The fact that you get stuck at the go go go screen might very well be something completely different and not the Bad Blocks at all even though that theory sounds rather logical.

I tend to think it might much rather be your SD Card and would first of all recommend you to try different brands and speeds, especially the slower ones like CL 2,4 or 6 but never 10 as that is regularly causing issues for many people.

I will get back to you later or tomorrow when i got time and hear what you have to say about the different SD Cards and then i could try to walk you through some ideas i was pursuing with my device back then when i got it full of bad blocks.

Hope i can help you. Not sure though.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elesbb:
Wait, i thought he had WinMo6.5 running as nand, and wanted to run android via SD haret.ext and clrcad.exe? if so bad blocks should not effect him and he has an issue with his SD card.. but very good information :) bookmarking your post for future references to people who need bad block info :)

he states in this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27277432&postcount=4

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elesbb:
When it comes to ROMs and kernels, i always use an adapter. I can confirm that android's mass storage option is pretty crappy, i just copied a bunch of APKs to my SD using android mass storage and about 3 of the 10 were broken and uninstallable. Weather its my comp or USB cable or anything like that, i just dont trust it when it comes to ROMs :)

On topic, i have officially become lost as to his problem. xD i wwas under the impression he wanted to run android from SD and it wasnt allowing him because of the bad blocks.... so i will take foot and stick in my mouth and back out of this thread. because i clearly am confused xD
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sneakyghost:
Hahaha lol no way its easy if read correctly but i missed some pieces of info myself reading it the first time. That guy has actually tried quite a few things and said very clear what his problem is. That is why its easy to find an entry point. He has done very well. Good example for many.

Oh and regarding your experience with the broken files: i tend to think its either the ROM you use or a lose wire indeed. Lately, with TBD ROM, i had not one single file broken from a lot of transfers but i can share your experience with other ROM's and earlier versions of TBD. It is not always good. I agree on that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elesbb:
Well when i run ubuntu on my laptop, and i use androids USB mass storage to transfer some files, and there was nothing on the screen saying that there was stuff going on, so i used "safely remove device" and then it came up saying there was still stuff being copied and stuff going on, so maybe it was just my ROM thats done it but on every ROM ive tried its happened. Its not big deal i was just saying its something to keep in mind! :)

which card is the best to buy?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sneakyghost:
4EXT Recovery is flashed with DAF.exe. Download it from the link i provided and look at the folder contents. You will see a DAF.exe and some other files. The flash.cfg is the config where you define the partition sizes, the *.img file is the actual recovery.

Look at my TBD Docs in my signature for a flashing instruction.

Regarding the Cards: just grab any of them, a size you like. Just rather don't take the class 10 card.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ph03n!x:
I tried WP75 a while back, and recovered my SD Card by using an option in Magdr's Services menu that would wipe the card's MBR. But then, I think the ROM I tried does not lock the SD Card (or something on those lines)...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Assuming that you're just buying the card to test whether or not it is your current SD which is causing the problem, just buy the cheapest one available (as long as it's from a trusted source). If you're looking for a long-term replacement for your current one then it's purely up to you, it depends entirely on how much storage you want.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tsagas:
4EXT Recovery is an alternate for CWM?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sneakyghost:
yes. It has a few more features and works better than the 5.x variants.

As you may know I have some(many) bad blocks...how should I make my partitions?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sneakyghost:
I'm unsure about this. I've heard about a theory saying that increasing partition size helps because the chip has more reserve addresses per partition. I have not read any detailed description of how that is supposed to work. All I know is: the controller assigns reserve addresses for each bad block "somewhere" but I don't know where.

For wp7, MagLoader has an option to "enable last 24mb" of NAND- I think that those 24mb are the ones usually reserved for bad block compensation. So I'm not sure if increasing partitions helps at all. But you could try to increase it like this: 8/280/8 which is what I would try. Remember: you have only a few bad blocks, which means just a few bytes lost! No need for big increases!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sneakyghost:
Mate, I'm away from home as I told you already via PM. When I think through this, I wonder if you maybe do have a damaged SPL and/or damaged IPL. I had that with my device. The result was that I could not flash anything to it. The damage was a bad block in the SPL. I could only fix it by force flashing the SPL with a jtag device. Now I can flash everything again but of course the bad block is still there. It was just one flash that went bad because of that bad block. It caused a lot of frustration back then. Maybe you try to find someone with a jtag device. In which country are you?

[EDIT]

I had to dissemble my phone the other day because it dropped hard and the end key became lose. Ever since opening it, it often gets stuck at the gogogo screen. Then it takes 3 tries or more to boot.

I don't understand the causality of this yet (doesn't make much sense) but it implies that differences in hardware could cause your issue, not only through bad blocks but maybe also by slight differences in other hardware. Possibly caused by physical impacts such as mechanical damage, moisture, heat etc.

This increases the number of possible causes dramatically. I really don't know if I have any more ideas for you to try other than what I already recommended. See that you find some electronic technician on Ebay who could jtag the device.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sneakyghost:
Good idea. Try CLK. I haven't gotten any experience with it so i can't help you with that but you should be able to try with a little reading.

JTAG is an interface found in most chips these days. For accessing the JTAG Protocoll/Interface you need a JTAG capable device that usually consists of a cable and a chip-programmer, whereas the cable has different contact-types you can swap out so you can connect the programmer to the chip and forcefully write to the chip even if its dead and offline.

Every mobile phone nowadays has so-called "Test Points" (JTAG points) on its mainboard where you can hold the cable contacts to or pin them on, so you can then revive a bricked, dead phone. It can also be used to do all sorts of interesting things like achieving S-OFF on some devices or revive a brick resulting from bad blocks or what not.

Unfortunately, it takes some skills and experience to work these JTAG boxes and its expensive too so not many have one. Most guys with a JTAG box probably offer repairs on Ebay, so thats a good point for finding someone who could do it for you.

One common example is the RIFF Box.

This occurred after I rooted and installed MIUI V4. I want to say that I was able to successfully connect to a computer at least once or twice while on MIUI before this problem started happening. The phone is still able to be charged while hooked up to a computer. I've since flashed over to CM9 and the problem persists. I've tried booting into recovery and mounting usb storage that way. I've also tried to enter download mode and odin was unable to connect. The device hasn't experienced any trauma that I am aware of either, the port looks fine/etc. I guess what I really want to know is: Is this some sort of kernel issue or bootloader type thing that can be repaired by going back to stock; or is it purely a hardware issue?

Assuming you already have unlocked your bootloader, yes. You can do it on 2.3.4. DooMKernel comes root access.

While it is inefficient to do it that way, if you already have an unlocked bootloader, you can boot into CWM and flash RootXperia to enable superuser.

Hello XDA, this is probably my first thread ever.

I am a complete noob on Android but have some knowledge on technically supporting other platforms.

My father owns a N7000 he bought in Dubai, factory unlocked, which is now running the latest Samsung stock official Gingerbread, unrooted.

We live in Argentina, and he has been able to use the phone for about 15 days with a local carrier without any problem.

Last Friday, the phone stopped working and he can not make or receive calls, send/receive SMS or use mobile network data at all. Wifi works perfectly. IMEI displays just fine.

I have already tried removing and reinserting the SIM card, tried with another SIM card from another carrier, tried going in an out of airplane mode, restored the phone to factory defaults and all other recommended solutions to this problem I found on the forums, except for flashing it.

Should I flash it? I am not looking for a custom ROM nor rooting or anything "unofficial". It is my Dad's phone.

Should I flash another modem suitable for my region?

If I am not wrong I should also be flashing a new bootrom if I were to flash an ICS ROM, right?

I do not completely understand if changing modem, PDA or CSC would possibly brick the device if not carefullly chosen. Can I flash any ICS PDA I randomly choose from the official ROMs thread?

My phone version is as follows:

PDA: N7000JPLA1
