[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Nukkels:
I just wrote up a huge post and lost it all :crying:

Basically I followed your sintructions step by step and it worked!

I'd never done a FULL format before - that takes hours! I'm guessing this might have been the main issue.

I'll play around over the next few days with F22s rootfs and rhod110 startup parameter, Airplane mode turned on, etc to see if any of that had an impact. I never thought to set backlight to manual or use Airplane mode.

Hopefully I can help find the crucial step I missed, so it can be included in the installation instructions (or at the very least someone might stumble on this thread).

Anyway thanks a tonne for your help, it got me up and running!:good:

Thread moved to the appropriate section.

I genuinely hope you didn't pay ~$1000 for this phone... wow.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] tru209:
I tired this on my TILT 2 it wouldnt work...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
So... what's broken with it? Where does it stop?

Edit - basically, you've gotta give us more to go on. We can't help you with "wouldn't work" - it's simply not enough info. Provide as much as you can - what did you try, what happens when it boots, did anything semi-work, etc etc. Details!

Did you bite your tounge just right while dancing backwards to the wizard of OZ soundtrack? That always does it for me when it 'wouldnt work'.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Nukkels:
My experience was that the full format using the HP tool is a crucial step. I did a full format using other tools but I had no joy until I did it with the HP tool.
[LG Optimus 2x] jerfy:
I think i might've bricked my phone.. It's a LG-P990. I literally bought it today with Cyangenmod and i went into the ROM whatever app and i clicked check to see if there are updates for the current ROM and it said i had to install something to be able to check. So it asked which phone i had and i selected the LGE Optimus 2x. At which point the phone downloaded it and then brought me to the home screen. My phone now is black but when i touch the screen the buttons light up. Holding the power button doesnt do anything.. please help me I think I just screwed myself over big time and i'm really upset and worried.

edit: pulled the battery out and i guess the stuff all loaded but it just shows the LG loading screen and when i tap the screen again the buttons light up. What do i do? i know i probably shouldn't haven even gone in that section at all it said some warning and i just hit ok cause i assumed that this is an optimus 2x which it is, is it not ? what happened? im so confused.. should i just update the phone with the LG support tool because it is picking it up, would that fix all of this ? i tried to boot it up and hold the power + the vol down button and got into the CWM but i dont know what to do here, should i just factory reset wipe everything and try to flash it all again, the seller told me he unlocked himself is that difficult to do?

also sorry if this in the wrong place!!

tl;dr I need a very smart android mentor to help a stupid noob (this is my first android) to help me get back to the square i just obliterated. I don't think the phone is bricked as i can access the CMW.
[LG Optimus 2x] toxie87:
You could also try wiping everything via cwm,or download some custom rom cm7,miui DjangoManouche put the .zip on the external sd card and choose install from zip in cwm or sort of.The option is on the main page.
[LG Optimus 2x] Memhis:
Don`t worry, this is LG, impossible to soft - brick :p.

I would recommend you at start to go to stock, till you do some reading and learn a little about custom roms.

So, as toxie87 already suggested (and you have the same idea :)), the procedure will be something like this:

1. Download this rom

2. Put the zip on your sd card

3. Boot in cwm, do a factory reset, and then install rom from your sd card

3. You are up and running again :)
[LG Optimus 2x] zaro143:
if you have bricked your phone then try the below method...NV flash method by homermod.....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1715272

else as previously replied by our members read the threads and learn about custom rom and try flashing your SPEED....:cool:

hit thanks if i have helped you....:highfive:
[LG Optimus 2x] jerfy:
The seller has now told me it's a LG G2x, so i don't know if i should still try to put that ROM on the SD card guess i'll have to sift around a bit to find the one for the G2x unless you have that link handy too but i'm sure it won't be too hard. Yet it is nice to hear that it's not completely gone haha, jeez was i worried I lost sleep on it! Thank you

edit: i just fixed everything thank you for the help!
[LG Optimus 2x] Memhis:
Ah, you then have T-Mobile LG G2x. It is similar, but not the same. Do not flash any file from o2x to your phone, you will do more damage then you have now!

Go to your device forum -> http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1114

Find there a rom that suits you and the procedure is the same :).

Edit:

Glad that you have manage to solve it. Don`t hesitate to experiment on phone (after some reading, there is nothing to brake), just make a cwm backup before, and use files from your g2x forum ;).

[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
I was uncomfortable on how close the usb connector sat with the S3 installed in the Infuse car dock. You could actually scratch the S3 bezel if you weren't careful inserting the phone into the dock. This is because the bottom of the Infuse is flat and the S3 is rounded, it makes the S3 sit ever so slightly closer to the usb connector. I took apart the dock and lengthen the "channel", trimmed the retention plate, and removed the middle retention clip that holds the rear cover on. End result is it opens up about 1.0-1.5mm more then normal making ample clearance for the S3:D

Attached are pictures of the modified dock..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] the_buzz_man:
How hard was it to remove the sliding part from the rest of the dock? I am planning to take it apart soon (after my microUSB extension cable comes in) but didnt want to try it until I knew the cable worked. It seems like it would just pop off, but I didnt want to apply too much force yet.

I just need the bottom part to maintain charging and audio out. I plan on hiding it under the dash and just using the extension cable.

Appreciate the info.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
Getting the back cover off without breaking it is a bit tricky. There aren't any screws at all and is held in by only clips. I used two really small flay head screwdrivers and popped it up using the location of the Infuse speaker hole. I then wedged in a hobby knife it and used it to pry up all the edges until the rear popped off. Once off you'll need a #00 Philips screwdriver to remove the screws holding the retention plate on.

Here are some more pics of the modifications.

First pic: Lengthen channel and trimmed retention plate

Second pic: This is how much it opened with out any mods.

Third pic: This is how much it opens after the mods.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
Good work, I've taken this apart before on the D710 mount I used previously for my Skyrocket and before I got an Infuse mount for the SIII since everyone was raving about them, but I also noticed that it was a little too close for comfort.... I've just been very careful putting it in, but as much as I drive, it's not something I'll be able to protect every time, so I know what my quick little Sunday project will be today!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
I also flipped the Samsung logo around:-)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
Feel free to use any of these steps I made for the D710 dock modifications I did in order to get a Skyrocket to fit, it may help others with the disassembly of the back portion in order to get to the screws and the sliders:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] sblees:
Thanks for the tip! I couldn't get the screws loose, so I carefully dremeled the retention bracket in place. Works like a charm!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
First off, THANKS to vw671!! Soon as I get my dock, I will do this to spare my S3!

Any link by chance? Searched your created threads and couldn't find it... and too lazy to search more :p

That's what I get for trying to post the link in the text on my phone! Sorry for being stupid..... Haha, here it is:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
lol, thanks! :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
I know what you mean...I had to go to the hardware store to buy a #00 screwdriver to get off the screws! I thought about doing exactly what you did, both will work.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
happened to get mine moments ago.... anyone care to explain how to get the back part off exactly? I know you said two clips but where do I pry?

-also, how was the Samsung plate turned around? Already modding it, might as well do that! :D

EDIT: I GOT IT! -and will try to make a video!

Still interested in the Samsung plate though. tried same method with that and couldn't get it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
Clip locations in attached pic.

To flip the Samsung logo around you have to get it off obviously. I used a single sided razor blade to pry it up. Then you have to trim two tabs off the back, you'll know which two when you try to put it back on.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sblees:
The op mentioned to pry at the headphone jack but I pried it at the rectangle hole (not the usb hole).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
I did NOT say pry it from the headphone jack.

I said:

"I used two really small flay head screwdrivers and popped it up using the location of the Infuse speaker hole."

Which is the rectangular hole.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
yeah, i got that after pulling my head from my @&# and actually trying. Started from the sides and worked around. Not too bad. All I used was razor and screwdriver. Tried the Samsung plate and snapped the razor, lol.

So I just noticed your "dock" part doesn't have any writing on it. Mine says "LOCK" with a triangle showing to slide it up. odd...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sblees:
Oh, I must have misunderstood. When you said speaker hole, my first thought was the 3.5mm hole.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
haha...waiting for someone to notice that:) I scratched the front surface trying to pry open the back so I sanded down the front with 2,000 grit sandpaper. I was going to buffing it back to be polished but ended up liking the matte finish. The finish looks better in person than in the pic because a flash was used...the finish sort of matches the Pebble Blue's texture.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] socalwrx:
any chance of modding it to fit it with a slim case? someone mentioned heat gun in another thread to expand it a little. thoughts?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sblees:
It would have to be an ultra thin case. I'm going to try this out.

http://www.bodyguardz.com/armor-car...-iii-verizon.html?dir=asc&order=sort_priority
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
You know what I noticed is MUCH easier than our brutal method involving razor blades? Check this out from your pic:

If you push a thin screwdriver from the front through the two oval channels where the slider rails travel (on the picture they are to the left and right of the MicroUSB connector and look like semi-circles), you will be able to pry this off instantly! I noticed that when I had way more difficulty trying to get it off than the D710 mount, I just stuck a screwdriver or something stiff and thin enough to fit through the width of the channels from the front in order to pop it out. MUCH easier and less violent towards the back of the mount!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] socalwrx:
sticking to the topic of using a case w/ this car dock:

Another user posted that he used the official sammy ultra thin case and it fit fine for him. Now what exactly merits ultra thin? I bought a "thin" case from ebay and will post here wed if it fits.

I feel like most of these standard hard shell cases are being made very thin anyway
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
Just my thoughts on the subject...

No case is fitting in the Infuse dock unless you HEAVILY modify it!!! Even if you able to get a case into the dock the USB plug will be too far back and might not even reach deep enough.

Your almost better off taking the slider piece off an trying to retro fit it to a phone holster or something similar.

Hi all

I've tested the amazing spiderman game and it didn't work, does Gameloft games work on Jelly Bean yet or aren't them not compatible with jelly bean yet? :)

Any possibility to get them work by editing build.prop..?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

Edit: All noobs who clicks to 1 start to the ****ing threads are assholes, get a life fcking dislikers/ 1 star givers...

EDIT: This is old post and issue was the newest Android version that wasn't supported like I thought..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blankit:
Since its a new firmware....a lot of apps and games will not be compatible that is why I am refraining from updating to jellybean until most apps are updated
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
Okay, for me all other games works than gameloft games..

when I got galaxy Nexus with "YAKJUXW" build, then Gameloft games didn't work too, now I'm using Jelly Bean and now again I have to wait when Gameloft makes the games compatible on Jelly Bean..

Jelly Bean is really nice so I don't want to go back ICS. :D

I usually play only Temple run or Angry Birds space and GNES games so it doesn't mind if it takes something 5 months to be able to play gameloft games on Jelly Bean ROM.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mantenner:
Hate to tell you buddy but the bastards over at gameloft can't even get off their asses to port their games to ics, its gonna be a long hard wait mate
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
It's hit and miss. Modern Combat 3 works, Nova 3 doesn't, The Amazing Spiderman works (and is smoother on OTA JB than the preview build). Mass Effect Infiltrator (an EA game) didn't work on preview build for me, started working on the OTA one.

Guess some need to be made compatible. Let's hope Gameloft can do that soon. Nothing wrong with hoping :P

same here

Yeah same here some of them successfully installed and played at the beginning then it will suddenly stop.. i have ics tab.

Hi All,

I am just getting back into the Android scene and I wanted to throw out the question to find out what are the popular tweak tools that people use to complement their custom ROM?

I have been using a combination of setCPU and system info pro, but I am not sure if these are the best to be using these days!

Also was wondering if anyone uses a power saver like JuiceDefender?

I am interested to see what you all come back with.
[Motorola Droid 4] markass530:
Picked up a droid 4 a couple months ago, the battery life always seemed crappy, but then again I run my phones hard (hotspot, etc) then one day it went down real quick, and wouldn't charge. Already did my homework so I knew the screws in back were the positive and negative terminals. Checked the voltage, it was way low, like 3 or lower. Busted out my B6 charger and was finally able to get the thing charged, but it drained retarded fast. Someone was selling a D4 w. the battery removed on craigslist for 60 bucks, so I snagged that, turns out the battery was severed at the cable so I still got no battery, but I Do have a spare D4, so I start troubleshooting. Turns out with my old D4, with any battery connected to it, would start draining at half an amp. Starting up it hit 1.25+ . at that rate the phone would be dead in 90 minutes. The Other droid was more reasonable, .6 or 7 at start up, and .2 baseline. I Ended up Modding the second D4 to run off a couple 18650's I had. IT works, and ran forever but I just snagged a couple LiPoly's that will shrink the case some. Anyone got any ideas why the original phone is draining batteries even when off? Anyone here swapped batteries on the things?
[Motorola Droid 4] alex94kumar:
its a (suggested) non removable battery for a reason lol
[Motorola Droid 4] markass530:
yea because then they can make it xXX .XX MM Thinner, due to not having to ruggedize it at all (to prevent flexing). If they had put a decent one in there in the first place I never woulda removed it
[Motorola Droid 4] summitap:
Pictures of this mod? What are you using for casing? Which Li Poly did you go with? RAZR max batteries?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Elixx13:
Guys My Xperia S has been running fine since I bought it, no problems beside battery life... My phone has unlocked boot loader, and its rooted... I've also upgraded the phone to latest software available, ICS. Today while battery was around 22% I was watching a YouTube video inside default android Browser and the phone Rebooted itself, randomly. After that, everything was normal as usual.. Phone is around 4w old.:(

It's my first android phone, and I am a bit... scared. Should i Re-flash ICS? Can I flash/update/downgrade the phone even if its boot loader is unlocked? (and rooted). Phone temps were normal. not even warm.. Need some help around here guys!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Meh, it's just a crash. All software has bugs, and sometimes they just show up randomly. Just forget it :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Elixx13:
Well thanks for the quick reply mate, Any thoughts about customs ROMS? Should I or Should I not? (Talking About installing them. Would battery life and overall speed improve?).. I've reading about KA09 Xperia SSpeed

edit: Also another Noob-like question: Can I flash/update/downgrade the phone even if its boot loader is unlocked? (I mean easy way using Flash tool)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
You can use flashtool with an unlocked bootloader, yes. I don't use custom ROMs myself, but some people got better speed with those.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yourbrotherrex:
Sorry guys, I've been reading all night trying to figure this out, and now my brain's all twisted, and I feel like I'm missing something obvious...

Is there a super-quick way to boot the Fire into fastboot mode once you already have FFF, TWRP, and a rooted rom installed??

The threads I've been reading all night seem to be geared to someone who doesn't have all that installed yet.

Can it be done with terminal emulator on the fire?

I had assumed it could be accessed from TWRP, but no dice. Would a quickboot app from the market get me there, like on almost every device I've used before?

Because of driver issues (that I still haven't solved) the only way I've done it before is when I installed FFF, and TWRP by shorting the board and using Ubuntu from a USB stick. (I'm wanting to switch from just having an ICS Rom to dual-booting, and I have everything ready, but I just am getting confused over how to simply get onto fastboot to accomplish this.

Thanks to anyone in advance that might help...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powerpoint45:
An easy way would be to use kfu and select boot mode 4000. Or u can just use the fast boot command
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yourbrotherrex:
I need windows to recognize it that way though. That's the whole problem... I've NEVER gotten windows to pick it up but one time... Weeks ago.. Then it was softbricked.. Tried everything and finally had to use the shorting trick with the Ubuntu stick.

No, this post is about me asking if there's some other way once I've installed FFF, TWRP, and am rooted. (Like terminal emulator or something like a rooted app from the Play Store.)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yourbrotherrex:
Apparently, I can solve all my headaches by just using a factory cable?

Okay...Here's my problem there:

I've probably got 12-15 Android tablets around the house, and at least 6 phones: The number of USB cables for these devices I've collected is just silly, what with extra chargers and whatnot...

I'm sure one of them is a factory cable from when I opened my Fires.

Could anyone please, upload a picture of THEIR factory cable so I can figure out which one is which? I promise to shut up about fastboot for a while if anyone could do me that solid.

Well, I've got a ton of cords. If any work, then what's all the talk about using factory cables for, or the jigs that replicate the connection that people sell?

Btw, I just tried the command from above in Ubuntu: no luck (the command went thru in kfu, but said "waiting for device"). Trying windows next, but I've got a feeling that won't work, as my drivers have never gotten to work right.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yourbrotherrex:
Yeah, Windows didn't care one bit when I plugged it in and turned it on. Booted straight into ICS, and still says waiting for device in the terminal.

See, I've been doing this stuff for hours... I know how to try this:

I just wanted to know if, with FFF and TWRP, and the ability to run Su in terminal emulator, if there might be an easier way.

Edit: Solved, thanks to Thepooch, who spent a lot of time on Teamviewer setting up a toolkit on a linux USB. No more headaches.
