oh okies. thanx for using my video buddy :D

will try this if seven vibration brick happens. but ill pray it shdnt happen ;)

will be helpful for all if it is stickied :thumbup:

just my 2 cents ...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I hoped for something much more useful.

The method of reflashing to stock using fastboot commands has been posted on Nexus One Wiki for 2.5 years now.

And of course, it won't solve any overheating phone, and no "7-vibration brick".

Thanks for trying to help, but the post is kinda (very) useless.

Stuck in fastboot

My phone went into this rare phenomonen "7vibrations no boot"... its been 2weeks. Im not able to fix it till now.

Firstly , My phone doesnt respond in hboot screen when the sdcard is inserted. So for entering fastboot, I will take out sdcard and go to fastboot and then put my sdcard when the phone is connected to PC so that it doesnt turnoff when i pullout the battery. this i have been facing for quite long. cudnt fix it.

I tried exactly what you said.. but im stuck in the fastboot now.. im not able to flash anything using adb in fastboot.

im getting errors in fastboot.

when i typed 'fastboot flash system system.img"

it gives an error like "error: cannot load 'system.img' : unknown error"

did "fastboot erase" and it worked.

but flashing is not happening.

please help me out :confused:

---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

i somehow managed to flash all those things what u said in your post...

but still when rebooted after flashing via fastboot, the same 7 vibrations happening.

My phone doesnt boot..

i havent done the battery trick as you said. Im not able to do it. That video doesnt have any instruction and no audio too.

any instruction on how to do it will be helpful.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nishangrg:
After doing all the stuffs, and after fastboot reboot.. The phone on the same state.. Brick state with 7 vibrate + X sign. Why is that so?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Antanith:
I'm so sorry to bother you and thank you in advance for your taking the time to read this. I flashed the EL29 kernel for my epic 4g touch through ODIN. After it exited download mode, the splash screen now says that samsung gt-19100 with a yellow triangle. Is there a fix for that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pyrotoast:
You can get rid of the triangle with the triangle away app from the app store, or by getting a usb jig. Rwilco's awesome website gives the step by step process.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Antanith:
I can't even get boot. I just now got into recovery. It installed Rogue ET recovery, so I'm gonna see if backing up my rom will work. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Antanith:
Update

Was able to get back into the phone after flashing in a rom, but splash screen still says gt-19100.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
You'll have to buy a USB jig or update to ICS and just use triangle away.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
Yep, triangle away only works if you on ICS. The triangle is samsung's way to show an unofficial kernel was flashed to the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Antanith:
Thanks! I was able to get it back to stock EL29 and get rid of the triangle once the kernel was reset.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
Glad it worked for you. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RandallOfLegend:
I used the USB jig method.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
Just in case

This is why I always keep a stock GB (or ICS now I guess) ODIN image, nothing like good old stock to keep the soft bricks to a minimum :p

No kidding. :p
[HTC One X] hamdir:
thx for this objective review

all ur info r 100% spot on

enjoy the hox, upcoming update that we have it leaked will solve the 3dot menu and 90% if the bugs also boost performance by a good margin (real performance not benchs)

yea too bad HTC made a very big mistake

they worked so hard for such a great device and total reboot for them but then shot themselves in the foot by rushing it out as they were worried about the s3 but it really had the opposite effect many of the early new comer adopters jumped ship (1.26 was a disaster)

speaking of the s3 my employer shares all ur points and he is dying to switch it with the hox
[HTC One X] Christian Troy:
starting from ICS you can disable system apps (not all but most of them, maps and google+ for sure for example, and they bother you... like they bother me, lol)

just dont update them and from application's settings tap "disable" and they'll disappear from launcher (i guess it just "chmod -r" the apk), you dont have to be rooted for that ;)

i've picked mine yesterday, used and bought 06-29 but the owner wanted to try the S3 and payed it a good price... it's awesome, no wifi issues of yellowish screen.

so far i'm really entusiastic...
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Great write up. And your bottom line conclusion's spot on. No phone is perfect. You compare the good against the bad against what's important to you and decide from there. No one's "wrong" in picking any of the phones you mentioned if it's "right" for them. After using the phone for a couple of months now there are some things that I'd like to see done differently and make me wonder what HTC was thinking. Then there's things that are so well done and seem so intuitive that they just make me smile. I just played a two hour and forty minute movie using HTC Watch via Media Link and not only did it work flawlessly in 720p, it only consumed 20% of my battery. The fact that a phone, any phone, can now do that is pretty amazing.

As for battery life. Exynos Quad is highly overrated; that or Teg3 is underrated. Comparing the One X to the SGS3 and adjusting for the differences in battery size, the One X actually performs better than the SGS3 in all but video playback where the darks of the content favor AMOLED. It's meaningless in real life because of the smaller fixed battery in the One X, but HTC, Nvidia, or both deserve a lot of credit for extracting that type of efficiency from a chip that's not exactly modern.

Enjoy your new phone...
[HTC One X] jacobgong:
But for some reason HTC decided you shouldn't be able to disable Google+ or show me, or setup wizard. While you can disable Facebook and YouTube.

Uninstall updates then you can disable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wrs916:
I apologize for making a new thread being a first time poster, however I am about to the point of having a damned nervous breakdown with rooting my T-Mobile SGH-989 Galaxy S II. I've tried the Odin approach, I've tried going to GalaxySRoot.com approach and everytime I get something or another that doesn't f'ing work. When I try installing Odin, I boot the phone up in configuration mode and try to install Odin from the SD card where I put it when I transferred it from my PC to my phone. It gives me a "Could not validate" or something along those lines.

Keep in mind that I'm NOT super tech savy with phones nor the language that comes with rooting. ROMS etc etc etc. If somebody could walk me through this I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tnallen:
Well now you got me confused.... how far have you gotten? Odin isn't what gives you root it's a tool used on your computer to install something to your phone. Have you pushed clockwork mod recovery onto your phone via Odin?

Basically you use Odin to push a recovery on your phone. The recovery will then allow you to flash something from within your phone. Which at that point you should be flashing superuser (what gives you root). That should be a .zip file..

Hope this helps or that I'm understanding your issue correctly...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wrs916:
See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. I type in a search for "How to root a T-Mobile Galaxy S II" and I get a bunch of errored information and isn't what I need to be focusing on. Being completely new to this whole ordeal, I haven't a frigging clue what I'm doing nor looking for. The "Simplest of simple" doesn't seem to want to work when I've tried using "GalaxyS2rooting.zip". I'm just at the point where I'm about to say F it and throw this damned phone through a plate glass window.

[LG Optimus 2x] rjjcvb:
Hi,

I was just thinking, what if customers start paying for updates?

I for one, would gladly pay 20€ for a jellybean update for our device.

When I bought this phone, the salesman said that after a month I could update with latest gingerbread. So automatically, it was my right to have gingerbread.

Now the ics update and then jellybean, these updates does not include the money that I have paid for this phone.

So that is why I think, when you buy a Phone you get the first update free, and the updates after that I think customers should pay, and I would gladly pay for this. This way the fabric will be more motivated to do more updates much faster and a better OS.

To install windows 7 in a vista pc you will have to pay, If you have snow leopard and want to update to lion you also pay.

Why not for Android? Then yes, we have something to complain about functions not good or updates not on time.

Give us jellybean and I will gladly pay for mine!

Regards
[LG Optimus 2x] markop90:
Windows & mac vs android... They are different and for this reason you cannot compare them... An android build (kernel + core) must be compiled adapting it to the phone you want to install it into (that's because it is a monolithic os). On the contrary windows is an "universal" os, potentially it could be installed on all the PCs..

It is not possible for a smartphone company to build a lot of updates for his phones... It requires a lot of time and money.
[LG Optimus 2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Also, don't forget that Mac OS and Windows are closed-source... Even though Mac OS is based off of UNIX...

Android on the other hand, is open-sourced. It would contradict everything that Android is about. It's like Mozilla forcing you to pay so that you can use FireFox.
[LG Optimus 2x] rjjcvb:
Yes I know, but the only reason why I don't mind paying for this is just to motivate LG, and give us the updates. Because it is time and money to develop these updates, if we would pay, I think they should be happy to release updates at a faster time scale. Android is open source, but LG still is a company that has a lot o electronic devices.

As owner of a company would you continue working on projects that is none profit?

On the other hand, it is really not a none profit project. (updates for after market phones) because I for one am already decided, that the day that my phone breaks or I can sell it to someone ignorant, I will never ever buy LG phones! Samsung seems to have better support, or Iphone with jailbreak.
[LG Optimus 2x] whatever_mate:
Really?you pay 400 bucks on a phone and you feel you're entitled to only one update? And it's not like lg doesn't profit. They promise to update my device, they keep it, I am happy, therefore I buy their next over the top expensive device.simple as that.
[LG Optimus 2x] MrColdbird:
Paying for Linux?

Now you make me laugh, might as well use the Novell Suse crap then.

You paid for the updates and the whole device upfront, I think they should be entitled to updates.

But yeah... Lg is the smartphone sectors "special" kid. :screwy:
[LG Optimus 2x] frikou:
Even Apple doesn't charge you anything for an iOS update. I think this says it all.
[LG Optimus 2x] ghadap:
Wow.. seriously? We need to pay for updates?

Sent from my thoughts using telepathy :banghead:
[LG Optimus 2x] Supupa:
Not the greatest idea, paying for open source.

What happens with the rooters, flashes and devs? Unofficially upgrading to the latest release of android for free? Would it make xda development illegal?

No way would I pay for it.
[LG Optimus 2x] jerichoo:
Updates much faster? Maybe

Better OS? Definitely NO
[LG Optimus 2x] darenb4:
I see the point being made that if we paid the updates would come promptly.. on the other hand these big companies have decided to go for an open source project to rival other platforms so it is down to them to keep up to date with the free stuff.. I've said before the way we use our phones has changed so much In the last 3 years and the companies need to realise that we won't simply just pay £500+ for every new phone they decide to make being as the ones before were claimed to be future proof.. we have changed so should they
[LG Optimus 2x] FatherJony:
You have already paid for updates when you bought the phone. Even the most expensive phones cost less than 200 dollars to produce when they are new and cutting edge (the price usually drops quickly in a few months following the release of the device). Some of the money go to cover R&D costs (which with android phones are usually minimal), some go to cover company expenses (like salaries bills etc), some go to cover SUPPORT, and the rest are profit for the company. So when LG is selling you a phone for 550 dollars when it actually costs around 180 dollars to produce and then completely forget about updates, they are robbing you blind. And yes, the price of the p990 has gone down, but so has the price to make one.

If you don't like the way a company treats you you don't give them more money, you go elsewhere. Sony was constantly losing market share because they didn't support their devices so they where forced to change. Almost their entire 2011 xperia line was updated to ICS during Q1 and Q2 including cheaper phones like minis and rays.
[LG Optimus 2x] sharvan97:
Why should we pay for updates if we have already paid for a expensive device.

If you want to pay, you just can donate the developer.

And do you think if someones rom is well used if he wants money for it

[LG Optimus 2x] Bouba123:
Custom ROMs

The problem with the idea of paid updates is that it would also mean that LG would need to implement a locked bootloader, otherwise, just one customer would buy the update and give it to XDA developers who would start creating their free custom ROMs. I am not so interested in ICS if I need to have a locked bootloader.

[LG Optimus 2x] ergoen:
The only way paid upgrades could work I believe is through something like kickstarter.

If enough people promise to pay it's worth for them to develop it and then release it (for everyone of course, not just the ones who paid through kickstarter). If too few people are interested, there they don't waste time developing for a dead phone.

I personally think that at least one year of upgrades should be included in the price of the phone, but after that I wouldn't mind paying a little to get continued upgrades. (I have donated money to cyanogenmod because I think they're doing a great job for precisely this reason)
[LG Optimus 2x] FatherJony:
Donating to the cyanogen team makes sense, but isn't comparable to paying an OEM for software, simply because the profit margin is so large that you shouldn't have to. If Xiaomi can sell their newest phone for 350$ when it includes a 4core s4 chipset, a 720p ips screen, 2gb of ram and a good camera and still make a profit AND have the cash to offer timely updates, so can every other OEM under the sun.
[LG Optimus 2x] bhs2x:
Paying for an open source thing? Sounds funny, its better to donate it to devs instead of giving it to companies... (like LG)

Should I have a LTE option in that drop down like I do in the regular mobile network settings menu? any help on this would be much apreciated because I can not find a pic of what the sprint gnex dropdown is suposed to look like although I found a bunch of pics for the GS# and that had LTE as a choice.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] woundedworld:
"Hearing' that people are saying the sound is 'crap' (their words), I was wondering if anyone has had a chance to try a decent set of bluetooth earbuds or headphones?

I would like something with a full range, good highs and lows. I have a decent pair of corded Sennheisers that I used to use with my TF101 Transformer, but I am afraid the SQ may be as bad as others are saying.

These have decent reviews:

www.amazon.com/Kinivo-BTH220-Blueto...42323605&sr=8-3&keywords=bluetooth+headphones

Has anyone had any experience with bluetooth headphones? I have the Monster iClarity bluetooth speakers and they sound great considering their size.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Altercation:
I use a Sony MW600 with my phones (n7 hasn't arrived yet, but plan on using the MW600 with it as well). I think that the Smart Wireless Headset pro replaced the MW600, but not 100% sure.

I *totally* recommend the mw600's (and I'm assuming the newer Smart Wireless Headset pro will be similar in quality). The sound quality is excellent. I'd call myself a casual audiophile... I appreciate good sound even if I don't have a "golden ear". I really don't detect any difference between the BT audio and direct cable with the same headphones.

So that being said, I used the mw600s till the included ear buds (in ear buds, not quite IEMs) wore out. I now use the teeny MW600 with my Sennheiser HD25 SPs. LOVE THIS COMBINATION. It's amazing how long the MW600 drives the HD25s, how loud and clear the audio can be.

And the Sony BT dongle handles calls as well, of course.

Get it (or the smart wireless headset pro, I'd assume they are similar in quality, but best to research) and the HD25 SPs and you're golden.

Note that I did recable my HD25 SPs and built a split cable that pigtails short off of the headphones so I can clip the Sony dongle to my shirt, along with an extension if I'm using the HD25s hardwired.

bluetooth

If you are looking for bluetooth, make sure it has the apt-x codec. It makes your audio files sound like a wired headset. I use the HTC stereoclip in my car and for my EVO LTE. The soun difference is amazing. The samsung hs3000 has it also and they come with earbuds and it is only $34 on Amazon. Look on the Evo lte forums under accessories to learn more.

Has anyone used the LG Tone - HBS700 Wireless Bluetooth Headset? Looks like it has good reviews and it would be comfortable to wear. I'm debating on buying it.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] EvilDeadFan:
Bluetooth audio is about convenience, but there really are some gems out there for audio quality.

I'm still using a 5+ year old set of Jabra bluetooth headphones I bought new from Tigerdirect when they mysteriously went on sale for $25 shipped.. and a few days later they went back up to the normaly $125... not before me advising a bunch of co-workers at the time and letting them try them out.

This was when Bluetooth 2.1+edr was pretty cutting edge, and for wireless headphones they sound fantastic.

That being said, when I get my Nexus 7 16gb pre-order in, I'll test them out... but on a new device I have no doubts they'll sound great.

I also have an old pair of KOSS headphones, with full range, but they look ridiculous with large bold print on each ear, but they sound great.

I'd update that, but I rarely wear headphones while at home. I work for a large Canadian Bank doing internal IT, and I wear a monural plantronics headphone most of the day, so I give my ears a break after hours.
