I know i'm late but maybe it will help someone in the future....

Water damage: take out battery and all cards, open device (warranty is void due to the water) take it as far apart as possible and in a CLOSED container let it be for 48h or more with SILICA !!. Clean all the surfaces reachable with contact cleaner after drying.

All liquids have chemicals that sooner or later will damage the electrical components. Check them for damage and if there is damage to the board or connections try to repair or substitute them (connectors/mics etc. etc.)

After checking your device and with the damage repaired buy a can of protective spray for electrical components and use it as instructed, this ensures that the components are protected from corrosion or short-circuits. Use a simple multimeter to check usb connections and or mics/speakers.

Try to clean the usb port as good as possible and do not apply the protective spray on it. If you "scrape" it with some instrument you will get damage sooner or later.

Assemble everything and try it out, if it doesn't work something more serious is damaged (MO, CPU) and you will have to bring in for service. When bringing it in tell them it's water damage it will help. Since you already void your warranty it doesn't matter. And saves time and money.

Although i don't aprove of some statements done by kawgirl she is right: rice is a placebo effect !!!

Since i work with these kind of problems on a larger scale then cell phones i know how stuff is done.

Sorry guys: Rice is for dinner.

This generally works except for if it's salt water. The crystallization (of salt) is kind of a killer. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fleckhansi:
Ok, my short story withSamsung wave. Last year it drowned in salt water for about a minute our so. First thing I did was removing battery. Then I let it dry for two days in a warm place. Then I tried to boot, which worked fine. But speakers didn't work, with headset it was fully usable. I used another phone for the next two month, thinking the wave would never sound again. On a lazy afternoon I flashed a custom ROM on it just for fun. And everything worked again. Since then no problem with the phone, my wife has it in use every day.

In this case, it was maybe great luck, I wish this to you, too!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] egzthunder1:
Sorry but I needed to add something to this thread before it gets completely buried...

While kawgirlval69 does have a point in that the best possible way to do this is to clean the device by taking it apart, I must add that rice and other dissecants do work and here is why. I am a Chemical Engineer who works with a company that manufactures scientific instruments that determines surface area of porous materials and one of the preferred techniques to determine this parameter is called adsorption (action by which a molecule of a fluid gets bound to the surface of the material in question due to weak intermolecular forces such as Van der Waals). You see? rice is a very hydrophilic material (loves water) as such, water vapor molecules (always present when water is around) will "flow" towards the rice and get adsorbed on its surface. As the vapor pressure of water gets reduced due to water molecules leaving, more molecules start leaving the liquid phase to go into gas phase (attempting to maintain an "equilibrium state", which in turn go towards the rice, and the cycle repeats itself until either the water is all gone, or the rice gets completely saturated by water, reaching what is known as the deliquescence point. The process is painfully slow due mainly to sorption kinetics and the need for the water molecules to diffuse through the pores of the rice, which are likely filled with air and impurities... All in all, dissecants are like miniature vacuums for water.... a good one (but harder to come by would be 5A zeolite (NaX) or even 13X, and of course, most activated carbons such as BPL from Calgon...

There... now the thread can RIP :)

[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
Assuming this is a qHD screen as the article suggests, how does that stack up against the newest Samsung screens.

Thanks to the Epic, I have grown to HATE Samsung. They have shown their true colors when it comes to software updates and I want out. The Epic development community is truly awesome, but it is a shame that we have to rely on non-paid people to make this phone what it should be. That said, I find Samsung hardware to be very nice.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
i dont think i could ever get a moto phone. they are the most locked down of the three major android oems. i will prolly always buy samsung just because of the completely unlocked bootloaders and because they have a utility like odin.
[Epic 4G General] Fire n mage:
@austin

That phone is pretty sexy though imo. To bad it's motorola, but it's probably the photon Q.

To OP the button on the bottom seems tacky to me, I love our lit up one. And the keyboard is so spacy, ;/
[Epic 4G General] darkierawr:
I disagree with you there.

I will freely admit that the delay on FroYo was terrible and ridiculous, when FroYo was rolling out the SGSII still wasn't released, and they had already promised it to us. But Gingerbread was a courtesy. They had a new generation of smartphone running around and they only anted up due to demand. And the whole complying with what Sprint wanted. I blame them. Sprint that is. So I don't think you can rag on Samsung for that one.

And if the Epic Touch 4G is any indicator, it looks like there is one dude working on these builds. They're slow. Fact. But frankly, as long as the end user knows it's being worked on, they should be happy. Especially with the speed they already have. He's doing his best I'm sure. Poor little Samsung man.

PLUS. More room for developers to step in and make the ****ty software they're stuck with better. Case and point: Epic 4G. And without the delays I wouldn't know what I know.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Samsung Equals Better Updates not this phone but in General

HTC equals updates daily and all of which are ****tier and annoying I rather wait for an update and be successful again not this phone but Samsung in General.
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
If it's a slider, I would consider it if the rest of the hardware is up to par once it's released (and Sprint LTE is out & delivers). Motos are very locked down, have non-removable batteries, have worse screen res and are easy to brick during root/flash process if it goes wrong. Definitely prefer Samsung here, but with no sliders on the horizon this phone warrants some consideration. On the plus side, Moto phone batteries tend to have more up-front Mah, radios are generally better and somehow the fastboot files always seem to leak and devs are able to make root stick. Moto is also very slow to update its phones but wife's Droid 2, released later than Epic got its GB update 3 months before we did and also had good dev support in forms of CM9 and AOKP.
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
I agree motorola is very locked down, in the photon forums people who underwent the official motorola soak update test they got permanently locked in a new way. I am unlocked fortunately and there is a good dev community so I am happy with my photon. I hope it is an improved qHD display because mine is definitely not on par with the epic's screen. I really hope they put the S4 processor in it because that would be nice. This is probably the rumored photon q, q most likely standing for qwerty. Also makes alot of sense why the epic just went EOL. We also have a very similar utility like odin its called sbf.

When my upgrade comes in december I am all over this.
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
Why??? The hardware could handle it, and the phone wasn't EOL. Getting software updates on phones that aren't EOL should be a no brainer. I shouldn't have to upgrade my hardware just to get new software, UNLESS the hardware can't handle the new software. These aren't FREE phones. We pay quite a bit of money for these phones. Getting some major software releases should be part of the deal.

I think the EOL thing is semantics anyway TBH. The software always lists the minimum requirements in order to run it adequately on hardware, if the hardware can support it, these manufacturers need to be supporting their customers AFTER the sale, and not just for 6 months after the sale.

This is not my problem. I should not be two levels of software behind, because they are greedy and don't want to hire the correct number of people to maintain their hardware. Why should I be happy with wayyyyyyyyyyyy subpar customer service??? It is sad what society considers "acceptable" from companies these days (customer service out of India is the first thing that comes to mind).

I am not looking for new versions of software the day that Google releases them, but if they can run on our hardware, I expect them in relatively short order.

I have been burned by Samsung TWO OUT OF TWO times now. Once on our Epic, and the other on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 which is STILL running Honeycomb. My complaints about Samsung stem further than just our phone.
[Epic 4G General] GuestK00145:
The only reason why the Epic wasn't on the EOL list, was because it was the only high-end qwerty phone. Since Moto is making a high-end qwerty phone with ICs for sprint the Epic can r.i.p.
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
Psh no they still keep this phone

It'll still be the best QWERTY slider for a while

Hi all it's the first time I post here because it's the first time i need to post here :D

You are all fantastic guys thanks for all!

Ok I got my HTC Wildfire S Europe unbranded, S-ON, Bootloader unlocked via HTCdev.

I can't install ANY recovery on it.

Here's what i've tried:

- Putting P**.img in sdcard. The sd has been firstly not goldcard and then i have "goldcarded" it.

- Flash the recovery by fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img)

Everytime i try to flash the operation comes successful but, when I try to boot to recovery, it stucks forever on HTC Logo.

What do I make wrong?

I can't install any rom because everyone comes in .zip ...

http://www.mediafire.com/?11nkszc18zlj2a9

Here: http://www.mediafire.com/?p2p88udo32m9xcg

Place the zip in the root of your SD Card, reboot into bootloader by pressing Vol + and Power, let it scan..... bla bla bla it will install.

Then enter Recovery and see if that works. That's the only way I see possible. Or try the above recovery.

Good luck!
[HTC Wildfire S] xfra:
I have alredy tried alquez's recovery.

I remember that firstly it said "Cid Error" then after i goldcarded my sdcard it said "Main Version is Older" and it didn't install.

BTW the main reason I'd like to flash a recovery is that I'd like to root again the phone after the last update. The only method I've seen is to flash root.zip via cwm because other one-click programs no longer works.

It looks like it's a damned phone...

I can set up the hotspot and it confirms that it's running then when i try connecting another device to it, with or without password encryption, its says 'unable to connect'.

Is this likely to be a root/rom issue, LG hardware problem or an issue with vodafone?

Most probably is a ROM issue. It is certainly not a hardware problem or a stock rom problem. I'm using the WiFi Hotspot without a problem with any stock rom.
