aah thats the vibrator.. well that makes some sense..

But then this is really weird, there is no magnetic contact on the other side for the magnet at the tip of the kickstand..

There isnt a sensor of any sort at the hinge of the kickstand either..

I could definitely make out the speaker and its contacts but nothing that looked like a magnetic contact for the kickstand..

will open again and take a look again..
[Motorola Photon 4G] topolovich:
You ever figure this out? I had a similar issue, but for very, very different reasons. I tend to overlook obvious things from time to time though but I doubt that's what you did. Either way, I'm just curious if it's working for you now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] adolfegg:
Same issue, opened my photon, tried magnet (on opened and closed), no reaction. Same in the recovery (key test)

What is it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
I remember when my kickstand stopped working. It was when I was in cwm and a menu popped up saying format partition or something like that. I just hit OK and thought nothing of it. But come to find out that erased the PDS partition on my phone so I was unable to update my profile or prl because of that. That was when my kickstand stopped working also. I did the PDS fix posted and my kickstand started back working again and I was able to update my profile and prl again. Don't know if that was why my kickstand stopped it not but the timing was perfect.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rolgar20:
well im not that good at open my photon bu twhen i saw the configuration it did say a magnetic switch although i dont know how, and i haven't try and see if its magnetic
[Motorola Photon 4G] kurtcocaine:
Thanks!!

I just saw this and thought i'd try it out... even though i never wiped anything like you did in cwm.. and it worked!!!

thanks a lot.. kickstand is working again..

for anyone else who wants to try it..this is what i did..

1. made backup (just in case)

2. Flashed the pds fix from here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1131649 (follow method 2 nd chose gb version)

3. wiped cache and dalvik

Its working fine now.. Thanks a lot again

Is it possible? I just got an AppRadio2 and would like to install it this weekend. I don't have an MHL cable right now, and don't want to wait for Amazon shipping. Is it possible to cut up an HDMI cable (I've got a dead one lying around) and a micro-b cable and solder them together?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnap1979:
cannot splice HDMI & Micro-USB together

my apologies to mods if i dug up an old thread

to the OP..

NO you cannot just simply splice them together, there is a special chip that interprets the MHL signal from the phone,

into the proper HDMI signal to output to your HDMI source..

this example of a SIMG MHL Adapter that i am incorporating into a NFC smart dock for my Xperia Z Shows the MANY components involved..

see below IMG file

as you can see by the external ports... on the top side is the internal micro usb charging and power supply, left side is the micro usb input from the phone itself, right side is the HDMI output, bottom side is the IR receiver

and in the middle, the lil black chip is the SIMG MHL decoder microchip

after using factory rest in the system settings menu,I found my device not starting.then I went into the cwm,i found that i could not mount /data or do anything else to the data folder.it looks like the /data folder has gone...

then i went to the fastboot menu,and did the following commands:

E:\A701\CWM-recovery_A70x>fastboot flash data recovery.img

sending 'data' (6144 KB)...

then i went to the cwm menu,the /system folder could not be mounting,either.

I wonder if there are raw image,just like system.img or data img could do solve the problem.I reflashed the bootloader but it's still not mailfunctioning.do i have to flash the pit partition file or sth else?

Now I know,it's because of the goddamn CWM in the development ,that's a dangerous thing and not perfect at all,could do harm to our devices.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
Yes, this is the price we pay when we mess with things. Although, if the Dev "doesn't" own the specific device, it would be better to at least have "1" laboratory rat to test the recovery before putting it public.

Would have avoided a lot of bricked tabs. ;)

Oh well, Acer Service Center.....

Hopefully, I can get with one of the recovery devs from the 500 forums, and maybe (if and when I get my tab back) we can work on a functioning recovery. Would also be nice to have a better bootloader with full fastboot from the start.

Can those with A700 units, especially ones that partially bricked, run the following from a command line?

cat /sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device/name

And then

cat /sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device/cid

Or run Chainfire's "Got Brickbug" app from the Galaxy Note forums?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1693704

These symptoms sound a lot like "Samsung Superbrick". While this isn't a Samsung device, Samsung ships their flash chips to many companies other than Samsung. For example, about half of Kindle Fires manufactured have defective M8G2FA chips.

Gotbrickbug says the chip is unknonwn.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Entropy512:
That is an unknown chip, HOWEVER it is a Samsung chip. Is your device a 32GB by any chance?

M8G2FA = 8GB

MAG4FA = 16GB

MBG8FA = ???

fwrev is 0x21, which is also unknown - but most likely all A700 units have the same fwrev. Not all may have Samsung chips.

Bad news: Anyone who suffered damage is hosed. This damage is unrepairable.

Good news: It is possible to protect against damage. If recovery is built with BOARD_SUPPRESS_EMMC_WIPE it will be safe, although you need to be careful about update-zips in firmware releases that can still do damage even with a safe recovery.

It is also possible to render a kernel safe if you have kernel source code by removing MMC_CAP_ERASE from the relevant driver in drivers/mmc/host/ - For example on Samsung Exynos based phones it is mshci.c, on Qualcomm-based ones it is msm_sdcc.c - not sure about these Acers.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] laloutre:
Yep it is a 32G

I forgot to mention i am not affected as I didn't wipe or flash anything after installing CWM.

I also didn't mess around so my tab is not bricked. I followed (and read ;)) your link to Chainfire's Brickbug (didn't install it) and also followed his link about the backround and used the cat-command from there (without su). Got this result

Unfortunately, it's intended to prevent new devices from being bricked, not rescue old devices. And I want to focus on the devices that I do have, some 510 developer can take the kernel/device source I've posted and compile a version for A510.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] jokerzlh:
I have no way, so i install the new A700 CWM 6.01.1, luckily that i can enter it, but the screen become very abnormal.

I chose to install update.zip, then i saw a abnormal picture and no progress bar. I wait for 10 minutes but it only hang there.

Then i chose to factory reset, 'cos i can't c any progress text, so i didn't know what happened, but it back to munue after a while.

If the factory reset success, my bricked A510 maybe work! ( the 5.8.5 CWM kill my tab when i use the factory reset )

so i reboot my device but it also hang in 'iconia tab' Logo :crying:

thx anyway!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] IDArmyTJ:
I'd like to note that the first time I did a factory reset from CWM update 1, my Wi-Fi went all wonky. It would scan fine, then would act as if there was little to no signal upon trying to connect. I ended up flashing to EMEA_CUS1 to get everything going again.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] anethema:
Yes Telus, Bell, and Rogers all use exact same freqs as ATT.

As to part of your question:

Here is a rooted version of the stock Telus ROM. Exactly stock, just rooted. Also, flashing it won't increment your counter and void your warranty, done through ODIN.

http://69.10.156.129/dl/stock_root66_Telus.7z

All credit goes to Mr Robinson, with instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

His instructions:

Second,

Extract the stock_root67.tar from the .7z file you downloaded.

Use Odin, put phone into download mode [with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ], connect to computer and open Odin.

once in odin click the PDA field and select the stock_root67.tar you downloaded.

Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.

click start and

when done let phone reboot.

If you just want a stock, rooted phone with no custom recovery, no plans to flash custom roms, etc. then you can stop HERE.

Third, (optional)

To get clockworkmod recovery loaded so you can flash whatever you want, nandroid, etc then continue on....

Once rebooted grab the recovery from here: http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/cwm-re...-variants.html

extract this file to get a recovery.img file and copy to your phone's internal /sdcard

connect your phone to computer and use adb

adb shell

once in the shell run su

then

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

then if you do a:

reboot recovery

Your phone will reboot into CWM! All while preserving your warranty.

There's a thread in the dev section that has a stock rom that boots from emmc used to update prl and what not. I haven't tried using it but it might be worth a shot to boot it and move your apps then boot your original rom. But like the post above I'm pretty sure u gotta be on stock kernel.

That's true, but you can also temp flash stock then flash and use agats kernel and it will work until you go to clockwork. Then that cycle begins again. He explains it in his thread.

I'm on the

Even More Plus Plan(Off Contract)

I am wondering if I can get the $10 GB 2GB Unlimited or the Preferred for Android $20 5GB Unlimited ..

I saw some people with those plan on forums, and I'm wondering if they still offer those plan.

I see the value plan on t-mobile is $10 for 2GB UNLIMITED, I am wondering if I can get that plan for Even more plus..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
T-Mobile no longer offers the "Even More Plus" plans, so I'm not sure how they'd handle you trying to add things to your line.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nitrogen618:
I understand they don't offer the Even more Plus plan anymore, however, I can still add data plan via Web2go Upsell.

However, on their website, the value plan data is $10 for 2GB Unlimited.

I am wondering if I give them a call, would they give me that plan... $10 for 2GB Unlimited on the Even more Plus.

I don't see myself using 5GB of data($25), I would rather have 2GB Unlimited for $10.

And considering it's $5 for 1GB of data...

I am asking you guys because my Sister manages out phone, so I don't want to waste her time...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I don't think so. What I'm saying is because they're no longer offering Even More Plus, they're probably not very likely to offer you things that aren't currently normal upsells on your plan. They don't want people on the plans anymore, so they're not going to make exceptions to let you stay on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nitrogen618:
Aw... Thanks...

I went with the $30 wal-mart plan. I had some problems changing to this plan and keeping my number. If you want to know about those lmk.

I actually had no issue going from my EMP 500min plan to the $30 Prepaid. Just buy the activation kit online and activate, then port your # over from EMP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] box-hw1:
I made the mistake of listening to the TMO rep.

Heh, I'm on a family line Even More Plus of 5Lines...

Update: Good news guys!
