[HTC Rezound] puckgenius:
Still need help with this PLEASE!

Hey guys,

I know this thread hasn't been used in almost a year and a half, but I would love it someone could help me out with this issue!

My Rezound with CWM won't power up so I believe this thread describes my problem. I've tried the instructions given here for a few days now and I can't get it to work.

When I plug my phone into the computer I hear the "plugged in" sound. However, after typing "adb devices", no devices are listed. I've unplugged, replugged, tried reinstalling drivers, google usb drivers, htc sync drivers, and nothing seems to help my phone being recognized by adb.

Oddly, when my phone is plugged in, two drives show up in My Computer just as they had when this phone used to work. However, those two drives are greyed out and unclickable (when clicked, it says "please insert media into drive..").

Can anyone help me with getting adb to recognize the phone so I can fix it and retrieve all my data on the internal storage?!

Thank you!

Alex
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
Alex,

You'll have to help out by being more specific. I am sorry that I have not had a chance to respond sooner, but I was away traveling when you wrote your question.

Where do my instructions break down? You say that the drives show up in your "My Computer" directory, but you cannot open them. Do they appear to have the blue colored USB drive icons when they appear in My Computer, or are they a grey/white color? If grey/white, then they are not being recognized as drives (they are not mounting properly), which probably means you never installed the Rezound drivers from HTC.

Either way, there should be a fairly simple solution. Remove your battery and charge it with an external charger or try a new, charged battery. If the Rezound hasn't had a battery in it for more than a few hours, a charged battery should work normally.

If you don't want to go through the trouble of getting an external battery charger or extra battery, then make sure to charge the battery for about two hours on the wall charger and then try connecting the Rezound to your PC.

Make sure to install the Rezound drivers from HTC on your PC - they will be part of a HTC Sync download/installation. Uninstall HTC Sync, and the drivers will remain on your PC.

Make sure you've installed ADB & Fastboot (instructions for this found all over xda) before trying the ADB commands. If you don't have those files on your drive, my process won't work for you. Also, I would highly recommend using another recovery - Amon Ra or TWRP - whichever one is most highly recommended by the good folks here now - I have since moved on to a One X, so haven't been following the Rezound threads at all.

We can also do a G+ hangout if you like and I can walk you through some of this, but I won't be able to do that tonight.

Good luck, either way. And i hope I have helped.
[HTC Rezound] puckgenius:
Thank you so much for getting back to me.

I've included a screenshot of what's going on and where I'm held up.

I reinstalled HTC sync 3.3.63 and the drivers installed.

I plug the phone in, hear the plug in sound, the orange LED turns on for about 10 seconds then turns off, and then the devices listed in my device manager show up: HTC Android Phone under disk drives, Portable Devices now show E: and G:, and USB controllers now show USB Mass Storage Device. Nothing shows up anywhere about "Adb Device" or anything like that, which I'm pretty sure I've read is supposed to show up in Device Manager

My Computer then shows the two Removable Disk drives E and G, but they are greyed out.

Again, these devices only show up when I actually plug the phone in.

In the command prompt, daemon opens up but is unable to detect any devices.

I'm actually using a battery that I bought online last week. The same exact sequence of events happened when I first put the battery in several days ago.

You mentioned I need the ADB and Fastboot files on my drive. They are installed on my computer through the SDK manager, but I only did that recently ie: after my phone bricked. Was there something I had to do to my phone before it bricked for it to be recognized by the Adb software?

Thank you so much for your help!
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
puckgenius - I will get back to you tonight, but a quick answer to your last question is yes - ADB also has to be enabled on the phone, although many cooked ROMs have this set by default. Also, "fast boot" should be disabled in the phone. This is not the same as Fastboot which is a bootloader function. Confused yet? More to come.
[HTC Rezound] Josh8550:
I actually had this issue for almost a year with no idea how to fix it. So I simply took it apart and put it back together. That did the trick after praying to God. XD Haha. I immediately changed the recovery, ROM, and other things. :p
[HTC Rezound] puckgenius:
What do you mean you took it apart? What specifically did you take apart and then put back together?

Thank you so much for the help!
[HTC Rezound] jamnmon66:
This probably isn't helpful because I'm guessing you've tried this but when I had this problem, I charged it overnight, pulled the battery, put it back in and the phone worked.
[HTC Rezound] Josh8550:
I took the whole thing apart. I just started removing whatever I could with a screwdriver, prying the back pieces off until I reached where the screen, digitizer, etc connect to the motherboard. I didn't want to mess with the hassle of fiddling with the ribbons so I stopped, put it back together, plugged it up for a while, and it booted up when I pressed the power button.

Putting the battery in an HTC Thunderbolt, another Rezound, or a charger might be necessary to charge it up enough to actually boot however. I used my sister's Thunderbolt to charge the battery.

The Nokia Lumia series has had the biggest marketing spend in mobile history, but it's all been undone with yesterdays keynote announcement.

Who's going to buy a WP7 phone now they're known to be "end of life" and not be getting the WP8 update? The next few months are going to see terrible sales for Microsoft and Nokia as the Osborne Effect kicks in.

We will also see new apps and games tailor off; serious developers (i.e. ones actually risking money to release apps for this system) will be waiting for the WP8 SDKs. Same thing happened before Mango was released; we didn't get any big Windows Live games for months.

What screen protectors for the SGS3 are perfectly smooth and transparentr? The screen protector I have on my current phone (BB) is slightly "frosted" or textured which messes with the pixels on the screen. It does make it easier to swipe and does not attract dust or fingerprints, but I would rather have a screen protector that is perfectly clear for the SGS3. What are some good ones?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dLo GSR:
just look for clear/crystal vs. matte (the "frosted" you have)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr_Armageddon:
Go with SGP Ultra Crystal Screen protectors if you are looking for something that looks and feels like glass. No rubber feeling to it like some skins, and as the product name states, they are crystal clear. I have used Zagg, BodyGaurdz, Skinomi, etc, but I always go back to SGP Ultra series protectors because of how they feel, and protect the screen. Not to mention, it is a dry install, no water or spray to mess with and no bubbles.

I just ordered mine from Amazon yesterday for $13 + free shipping. Don't have my SGIII yet, but I have been used SGP covers on my SG, and SGII. Excellent protectors.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hillpounder:
Thanks for this share. I've tried all you mentioned. Waiting for my new SGS3 also! :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] play2lose:
I have only tried Invisible Shield and those cheap $2 screen protectors in the past, hated all of them till I got the SGP for my One X. LOVED it! It literally feels like nothing is there and looks like nothing is there. Ordering one for my S3 now :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jiannichan:
I've always been a fan of Realook. That is what I ordered for mine.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iam_ultrasonic:
DO NOT buy zagg invisible shield. I just did for the first time and i am demanding a refund from best buy.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] alacrify:
+1 for the SGP Ultra Crystal, EXCEPT they've been discontinued - I've got one on mine and have the problem they've noted (there's another thread for this) - the way the screen curves, the edges don't seal. Spigen is replacing them with the Nano, to be out soon, I think. I'll be ok leaving it on until then, but you might want to hold off.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] monkeyhihi:
Just ordered a SGP Ultaclear Nano screen protector off of Amazon.

Getting all of these goodies in the mail without a phone to put them on is such a drag... *sigh*
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sad6549775:
Might be out of place but y use a screen protector. Want to know ur perspective> the ups and downs
[Galaxy S III Accessories] worldwidepmp:
Yep. I found out about that too late. It's not bad looking, but they don't seal at the edge.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rurouni572:
Apparently you can email them that you got the clear crystal and they will send you their new one, the ultranano for free.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] worldwidepmp:
I will definitely look into that ASAP.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ainen:
Damn I wish those were available now. I really wanna get one for my phone :(

Anyone know when they are coming out?

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] wonder186:
I have sneaking suspicion that AT&T will release a larger capacity S3 but not till next month. The other carriers say they are going to offer the 32gig phones but you can't order them yet, not even a pre order, at least on sprint. I bet AT&T wanted to get the phone out as quick as possible and not piss people off with a mess of back ordered 32's. They can't even get the 16gig versions out without damn near starting riots.

I sure hope the 32gig version comes out soon as I'm holding out for it. I know many of you don't care as the removable slot is good enough.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] lensgrabber:
If I could get a 32gb intl version right now I would. Screw LTE. Battery sucking demon. I think the red version will be the 32gb hardware for ATT. They are the only one to carry that color so my thought is they will also bump up the storage as well just to make it "special." The blue and white will stick at 16gb. Just my two cents.

I did talk to a T-mobile store manager earlier tonight. They will have the 16gb available in the morning but he said no 32gb in stores for a while. No clue on VZW or Sprint. Another ATT store I visited said they didn't plan anything (16gb) being available until Sunday at that particular store.

Maybe Samsung is waiting for the iPhone 5 to be outed before pulling out the guns. Sell what handsets they can with the lower storage now then mix in more honey after sales simmer down.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] SSJ_Gomike:
I prefer the international version more too (mostly for battery life and development) but I can't bring myself to part with $800 when u can get US for $200.

I have already ordered my SGSIII, but if a 32gb version is released during my 30 days I'm jumping on it for sure. Still can't see why the hell AT&T would announce only the smaller version.....but only time will tell.

Sent from my Galaxy S II - I777
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] modest_mandroid:
I have a sneaking suspicion that AT&T are total assholes. I doubt there will be a 32gb version anytime soon. Take the One X as an example, and that phone has even more reason to be available in a 32gb flavor considering the lack of external storage.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Product F(RED):
I actually got my international one for $520 from Amazon because I got $180 Amazon credit from textbook trade ins. You won't notice a speed difference in everyday use, but if you game heavily then you will.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] wonder186:
I couldn't agree more.

All the other carriers have the 32gb. They would be idiots not to offer it. It is ATT, so on second thought it will never happen....
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Psychemage:
My guess is they won't release one for a while.

remember when the Captivate came out they removed the flash so it wouldn't compete with the iPhone. I believe this time around they're gimping the storage to make the 64gb crapPhone more appealing. In their eyes a customer buys an extremely marked up microSD card from them.

I don't think the understand that the people buying this phone are smart enough to shop intelligently on the interwebs for better prices/quality accessories.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] lamenramen:
AT&T wants you to consume more data, which increases their pocketbooks. Whine about increasing data costs, but that's just nonsense. If they truly wanted to contain costs, they'd give us more in-built storage. By telling us to use wifi, they're just increasing costs for Comcast, which will just make our cable internet bills go up.

It's unclear to me that simply increased usage increases costs, b/c the cost of electricity is almost nil, and hardware costs are very low. It's poorly run business practices that are doing this.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] modest_mandroid:
It's actually kind of clever business practices, just really evil and dickish. They charge for a lot of things that don't actually cost them any money, so the price of the service is 100% profit for them. For example, SMS piggybacks on control data that is going to be sent regardless of whether there is an SMS message attached or not, so it quite literally costs them nothing. How about the 3g microcells? They run off of your own wifi, yet you have to pay a monthly fee for supposedly using "AT&T's bandwidth," but they'll call you crazy if you invoice them for using your bandwidth that you purchased from your internet provider. Likewise, remember when they used to charge $40/mo or whatever for the mere privilege to tether, but did not increase your data allotment? They changed that last one to give you an extra 2gb of data purely because too many people caught on to that particular scam. But, they're very good at nickel and diming people for things that cost them absolutely nothing. To the tech savvy person, it appears as incompetence and mismanagement, but ATT realizes that the vast majority of customers don't understand that they're being ripped off, and it's 100% pure profit for them, so they keep doing it until enough people catch on and they're forced to stop.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] a320ca:
my guess is it "might" be available in the later to arrive "Red" GSIII.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] djkinetic:
I'm guessin the Red version will be a 32 gig...but thats just a feeling.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Boss Daddy:
I concur.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] wgarrido:
I think AT&T will never have a SGSIII that is 32GB. Maybe the next SGS.

This allows quite a bit more control. So far I'm pretty intrigued by it. Been playing with it since I posted and really like the options it gives. Both cores can be controlled independently.ofcourse a proper kernel with CPU frequency tables would be better I'm sure.

Edit:Yeah unless we can get a custom kernel we won't be able to set separate CPU frequencies or governors . I'm trying out the ondemand profile settings to see if there is any real world gains. So far it does seem to be snappier.

[HTC One S] skiba:
Hi All,

I thought the One S was meant to be impossible to mark and the screen is gorilla glass that is impossible to scratch.

Well after two weeks use I have lots of small chips along the sharp edge at the top, presumably from keys and coins in my pocket, and some hairline scratches on the screen.

Very disappointed about this, clearly the marketing is a lie. Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
It's not impossible to scratch, It is just hard to scratch it.

Try not to put your phone in the same pocket you put your keys and coins in.
[HTC One S] skiba:
Thanks for the advice, didn't think of that... :)

[HTC One S] dlorde:
Belief can be a powerful thing. Perhaps you could tell HTC that they have it wrong? :)
[HTC One S] jacewt:
I think expecting a phone not to scratch is like expecting your brand new car no to get scratches. Not possible. We've given up that idea with cars and should really understand that it's the same way with phones. If you plan on using it and care about scratches put a screen protector and cover on it.
[HTC One S] nickmv:
OP's mistake was somehow assuming that his phone is invincible. HTC surely never said anything about it being impervious to any damage. That kind of thinking is just silly.

They fortify the phones the best they can, and in this case, the metal housing IS pretty sturdy. That being said, this thing can bust through silicone cases. I've dropped mine twice, and both times, the top left and bottom of the phone literally punctured through the silicone case and got scratched/scuffed. No biggie, though.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Really?...you're storing your $600 computer in your pocket with coins and keys and then complaining it scratches? I've never used any sort of case or protector..just keep it alone in my pocket and have no scratches on any of my last 3 phones. Do you keep your laptop rattling around in your trunk with a loose lugwrench and case of soda cans?

[HTC One S] Bernardos70:
I definitely advise against keeping any phone in the same pocket as your keys! I use my front pockets exclusively, a thin wallet and my keys (and make sure I get rid of keys I don't need instead of carrying around a keychain that looks like it belongs to a janitor) and the phone by itself on the other front pocket.

No cell phone is indestructible! Take care of it well, it's a technological marvel, don't take it for granted! ;)

Preach it! Exactly how I have my setup. And the cellphone upside down! (I guess it's just easier to pull it out of the pocket that way).
