[Motorola Droid RAZR] Redflea:
Since I updated my wife's Razr Maxx to ICS, every time she powers down and boots up again, it goes into the bootloader instead of starting up.

Tried wiping cache in stock recovery (she isn't rooted and so far won't let me root it).

Any ideas? It's annoying her, and she happily shares here annoyance with me, so I have a vested interest getting it fixed if possible. :)

Appreciate any ideas...I was thinking I might run the update again....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sirhc76:
Please forgive me for the long arse post, details are sometimes a good thing. At this point Im positive I have techherpes. I got a bad Modem last week and on the same day this. Last week I got the test letting me know ICS was available for my note so I followed all directions and downloaded Kies, after 4 attempts finally got a good DL. During the ICS update I got an error and was prompted to use the recovery feature. No dice on recovery so I took the phone to the ATT service center and they set up a return. I got my new phone on Friday and call Sumsung support to get a walk through. The tech said it would be advisable to wait until today before trying the upgrade which I did. I tried it again and the end result was the same as the first. I don't consider myself a technology dullard, hell its what I do for a living but I'm obviously doing something wrong?

At this point I still have the original phone in the return box waiting to be shipped and another phone showing:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SGH-i717

CUSTOMER BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO

CURRENT BINARY SAMSUNG OFFICIAL

Below that is a pic of a phone, yield sign, pc

Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select the recovery mode in Kies and try again.

I spoke with another Samsung tech tonight who tried to walk me through a factory reset, vol up+down+power which brings me back to the same screen above briefly flashing the Samsung logo. She went ahead and setup a RMA and told me that it would be 5-7 days plus shipping. I said hell I'm in Austin can I drive up and have you fix it :) I can do the vol down+power buttons which will take me to the screen letting me know a custom OS will cause critical problems bla bla blah and when I press the up vol button I go back to the ODIN MODE screen.

Should I simply take it back to the ATT service center again, not sure they will be so accommodating since I have been down this road once already. Ive only had the original phone for just over a month and I have the insurance plan through them. All data was backed up before both attempts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kat3k:
Maybe you got a bad Kies download. It's my impression it's a little squirrely, from my own experience and reading of others'. Why don't you remove and reinstall it. It seems unlikely that you got 2 bad brand new phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sirhc76:
That is very possible. I had to DL it 4 times before I finally got a DL that would complete. Ill go that route and see what I can do. Does the current status of the phone mean that its bricked?

Thanks,

Chris
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kat3k:
I don't know much about that, but I think it would be pretty bad to be able to brick a phone that easily following manufacturer's directions. In Kies there is an option for something like an emergency firmware fix, in case you need to try that. But I'd go the normal route first. I had some trouble with mine when I did the download, and had to try more than once. The download took forever, and I understand the servers were swamped when AT&T put out the notice. Also had to disconnect the phone and try more than once, but in the end everything was fine. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sirhc76:
Yep, I tried the night I got the text and the first DL took 45 minutes with a 30mb connection. When I tried the installer it failed so I wiped it and tried again. After 4 similar attempts all taking the same amount of time to DL I finally got one that launched. The result was where Im at now with the first phone. Fortunately ATT had me one the next day and I was able to restore. I called Samsung support and the tech told me to wait until Sunday or Monday before I tried it again since Kies would be going down Sat night.

I wiped Kies and installed it this am, 3 minutes to DL and it launched the hotfix. It seems to have gone through several more steps this time so I think I know where the issue was, or at least I wont blame myself 100% for now. When I removed Kies it appears to have also removed my backups? I did another backup using two other software options just to be safe.

When I connected the phone after the new install Kies wont connect to it. I previously tried the emergency recovery since the phone directed me to go this route with no success. Im off to the ATT service center in a few and Ill see if they will go the extra mile again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ImYourMacDaddy:
Kies wouldn't connect to my phone either at time of update, so I ended up going through the Emergency Firmware Recovery which worked. Then I had to restore my backup. I'd try that again if I were you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sirhc76:
Refs. rehistr

Took the phone into the ATT service center today and as soon as they looked at me they said ICS failed? They told me that their entire day had been spent on skyrockets and notes. They weren't able to correct mine so they are sending me another. I wont be attempting the update on this one for awhile. It would be nice if the replacements came with ICS so that I didn't have to worry about it. I tried the emergency firmware update which would get to 27% and also fail.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
just root your phone, no more worries about bricking

[HTC One S] jdizzle316:
Hi Guys,

My friend bricked his phone some how (he's using the htc one s on tmobile) and I myself am using the evo lte, thought i could be of some assistance, but I'm stuck as well...wonder if you guys could help me help him lol.

so I performed the tasks on post #8 from on how to "fix soft-brick" in the sticky, but being able to only access bootloader, and twrp recovery Im at a stall. While in recovery, i go the the options to mount, it won't mount my usb so that i can bring over a rom to flash in recovery. So my problem is that the phone won't mount to my computer so i can bring over a rom i downloaded on my computer to the phone.

if i reboot system it sticks at the htc develop splash page.

Im pretty stuck and hope u guys can me help my boy.

P.S. i told him next time when you flash, always make a backup....cuz he was trying to flash a jelly bean wip (i don't even think it was a rom for his phone).

Thanks in advance guys!
[HTC One S] jdizzle316:
bump, anyone kind to help me out with this?

Thanks again, hope to help him out, but Im at my wits end because i keep on getting running into the same problem.
[HTC One S] rjsvoon:
You're going to either need to push a rom to his phone using ADB, or perhaps flash an RUU using Fastboot. Are you familiar with either process? There may be other options, but I'm familiar with both of these scenarios and can at least point you in a direction. Lemme know!
[HTC One S] baseballfanz:
Yeah ADB push is your best option right now. IIRC USB mount in recovery does not work due to kernel limitation. (I could be wrong but remember reading about it)

Look here

I agree with him, I kinda had the same problem your friend had and adb pushing a Rom is probably your best option right now... :)

Thank you very much guys, I am not too familiar with pushing thru adb but have been reading up on it through the development section and am ready to dive in.

I very much appreciate the input fellas, will keep you updated with the status of this so that others in this situation can benefit from this as well.

Thanks again!

[HTC One S] jdizzle316:
Ok guys, heres the update as promised. Mission to restore was success!

First, I tried to push thru adb, but it would never stick, would always get hung up. Given, being my first time pushing thru adb i probably did it incorrectly. In fact, I managed to push the rom over to the sd card once, but was unable to flash it from recovery (CWM).

Here is how i fixed the problem of being bricked. I relocked the bootloader, using the "all in one kit" and then i downloaded the TMOUS RUU, booted the phone into bootloader and then ran the ruu's exe. Within 10 minutes it was back to bone stock.

I hope this helps fix others with the same problems, if you guys need any help, feel free to hit me up.

Thanks guys for the suggestions and pointing me in the right direction...I couldn't have done it without your help!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braxos:
It is normal they have done it so for right left handed use. If you go to spen settings and switch to left then those 5mm will move to the left side of the screen. Imba developer made this I guess using offset to switch left-right handed and not to use new axes for the pen.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CosmicDan:
Hi,

I want to compile a kernel with custom MTD layout but I am having trouble finding existing data on it. Dmesg atag only returns the offsets and sizes for system, cache and data; and the usual file in kernel sourcecode (nand_partitions.c) doesn't have any struct to specify the layout.

I need to find the others in order to manually override the kernel commandline from the bootloader, boot for example, because AFAIK the mtdparts commandline needs to know all partition mappings, regardless of them being accessible to linux or not.

I managed to do it on the X10, but that was because atag returned all the partitions (system, userdata, cache, boot and appslog). If anyone can give me a tip on where in the kernel source I might find this info I would be very appreciative.

EDIT: I had another question that might be easier to answer... if atag only reports system, userdata and cache, does that mean it's completely ignorant to the other hardcore-system partitions i.e. boot is not even checked by the mtd table from bootloader?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CosmicDan:
I have recreated a working setting with the original map with the following....

mtdparts=msm_nand:320000k@94720k(system),389120k@414720k(userdata),136704k@803840k(unknown),103936k@940544k(cache)

There is ~133MB of unknown data between userdata and cache (which I've exposed here), making resizing difficult. I can't dd or cat from that range at all. What could this be and how might I be able to grab it?

EDIT: The unknown range is a protected area that I can't read or write to. Strange.

With my settings set to Automatically lock (immediately after sleep) and power button instantly locks with a visible patter screen lock, my Nexus 7 on wake-up [pushing the power button immediately] either right after an invalid pattern code (where device then sleeps) or waiting a few seconds with no activity until the device sleeps (where the Nexus 7 fades to a black screen) will have a delay in bringing up the lock screen OR sort of flicker presenting some sort of black and white bar lines background at the bottom half of the screen for a split second before bringing up the lock screen. Is this normal or it is in fact a defect?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darchur:
Not sire about that I have seen it in 3rd patty apps on all devices before. But the flicker we are seeing is like it changing the brightness up and down.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sundaypostman:
As does mine. I think people think it goes away when not on auto, because the "low" setting is about 20-25% and auto will often bring it lower than that, making the flickering worse.

At medium brightness the problem is almost, almost, non-existant.

It's also not just in chrome as some say, just most noticable on chrome's white backgrounds. I've noticed it in any app with lighter, brighter colors. I just exchanged my Nexus 7, and the new one has the exact same problem. This leads me to think the software problem is the most correct answer.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaSauders:
Tack another 1 on for the screen flickering over here. It's really not that terribly bad, but like everybody else I'm certainly noticing it with white backgrounds at low brightness. In particular I notice it when facebook is firing up for the first time (where it's blank/white until the feed populated) as well as in chrome when I'm on a blank white page. I'm actually quite surprised it's a software issue. I would have suspected hardware before software, but I suppose it still requires software to make the hardware work properly!

Then when I came home and connected up to my home wifi, havent seen it since. Yours may have another issues...

I actually tried the turning off wifi as well, and it still flickered for me as well...but keep it on and change wifi's to something stronger and see if it goes away. I am sure there is a software update to take care of that soon.

Is it possible that this is because the WiFi chip is drawing power from the screen at weak signals?
