[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickoT:
Hey folks,

My wife's MyTouch 4G has suddenly started locking once it goes to sleep. I cannot wake it up at all without popping the battery

here's what I've tried

- Removing potential problem apps

- Hard Reset

- Clearing all items in recovery (cache, delvik(sp?), battery stats, etc..)

- SIM swap with my phone (also a MyTouch 4g)

The only thing I didn't do was try a different ROM, only because her and I are using the same phone, and my install is working perfectly fine (Awesome ICS 3.6). Any other suggestions before I look at getting a new phone?

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ...Awesome...:
(1)

Try flashing a new kernel

(2)

Try a new rom Awesome ICS is very Outdated. (Yes in working on an update but its outdated)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickoT:
I will try this, I have never flashed a kernel before,I usually use whatever comes with the rom, any suggestions on a particular kernel?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickoT:
Well, sadly I did a restore on her phone, and now it just locks up on boot and never gets to the setup process for your account. Then I tried another rom and it complained about an unexpected offset (different numbers each time). Then I found this post.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1394238

Followed the instructions to restore to the factory OS... now it doesnt get past the boot animation, or goes to sleep during it which requires a battery pop. What the guy explained in the post about the eMMC chip going bad exactly describes the behavior of her phone, so I am thinking it is that. We ordered her a Samsung Galaxy S III ($600) last night after spending about 4 hrs trying to get the phone to even boot to the OS.

Sadly I think its toasted :(

thanks for all the help/suggestions though, I may use them on my phone since mine is still alive and kicking with no issues (*knock on wood*)

Hopefully the samsung works well for you. Personally i've never heard of a "Bad Chip" phone acting that way in particular. When you boot into HBoot (Power and Vol Up at the same time) do you still have S=Off?????
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lol604:
Hi, I am new to the android scene and have a few questions.

Just wondering about the procedure for updating a rooted device, specifically the nexus 7. After I receive my nexus 7, I am planning on unlocking the bootloader, flashing CWM, and then rooting the device. I am not planning on using any custom roms. I am just going to be using stock JB.

If in the future I want to do an OTA update, what is the procedure for this?

From my understanding, it seems this is the procedure for doing an OTA update for rooted nexus 7:

1. unroot the device? (how do you unroot the device?). is this necessary?

2. use cwm to flash the stock recovery, because you won't be able to get the OTA with a custom recovery such as CWM. Is that correct?(also, where do you get the stock recovery??)

3. apply the OTA update. root will be gone.

4. flash CWM and re-root the device

And once I have succesfully OTA updated the nexus 7, re-flashed CWM, and re-rooted back the device, will I have to start from scratch (lose all data, settings, apps, etc?). I know unlocking the bootloader will wipe the device, but will the OTA update process require me to start over?

If I am missing any steps or have some things mixed up, please let me know. Also, if I were to use an OTA root keeper, what would the procedure be like or how would it change the procedure I listed above?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salty Wagyu:
Haven't got my Nexus 7 yet but it looks pretty simple according to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1764794

Basically just need to have OTA RootKeeper installed beforehand, then disable signature verification in CWM and patch the OTA update. Then OTA Rootkeeper can restore root.

so some small background

been puting custome roms on my phone for a whial iv "bricked" it 100s of times ... i dont really consider it bricked if it turns on

neway started with it not turning on without being pluged in to usb shows dead batt icon

than it would boot loop once i did get it back on have odin a stock rom in

went on like this for about a week trying to find wtf i did wrong and why

now i had it on and chargeing went onto another item iv been working on come back its off and will not turn on no download mode no power nothing

so it basicaly bricked tho i didnt do anything to it at that time ... im guessing hardware

ima be trying unbrickable mod i gota find someone to do it ... or a better soldering rig witchever is cheaper

any ideas anyone ever heard of this its just so bizzar to me it hapion outside of me putting a rom on it or anything
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelby04861:
Sounds more like a dead battery or charging hardware issue to me. The boot loop after draining the battery out is common as you can read about it here. I would start off with a fresh battery and and new charging setup first .

[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
^lol. Just one thing... You did the s-off from GB before you updated the firmware.... So you should have chosen the GB ControlBear. Also I would recommend that you not tell them to use a toolkit. Personally I think you should always fully set up adb and fastboot. That makes it easier if you have problems later. But that's just me :D

This is a great guide tho. Very informative
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Wrote up a similar guide last week at TeamBAMF's site:

http://www.teambamf.net/topic/4122-generic-guide-to-root-and-install-roms-on-the-rezound/
[HTC Rezound] dustintheweb:
ha, might have been the reason controlbear failed so many times (still ended up working though).

As far as ADB, I hear ya, I just felt that most folk have little or no idea what they are doing and just want to get to the next step - so I tried to keep it simple where I could.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Yeah makes sense.
[HTC Rezound] Divine_Madcat:
Anyone doing s-off (the one operation that CAN brick our phones), should know EXACTLY what they are doing. If you are doing this, there is no reason not to have complete knowledge of the process..
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Just to add on to that, a noob who can't use adb and fastboot fully probably has no need for s-off
[HTC Rezound] RED ZMAN:
So no fast boot Ehhh?

I just checked, mine is on, so is that why my 8 hours of s-off attempts failed?
[HTC Rezound] dustintheweb:
meh, maybe i've just had good luck, but I've personally found over the years (and reiterated from others) that HTC phones are fairly hard to brick. I mean, yeah, people should read up on stuff and not be idiots when going down this road, but there's no reason to treat it as delicate of a process as some do.

I like to think of it more as training a dog, rather than walking on egg shells. Take your time, be patient, but don't forget to make it fun.

-- and if at any point you're unsure on how to do something, don't panic - just post your question in the forums or in the chat and be prepared to wait. Someone will help you eventually.
[HTC Rezound] BSquaredB2:
First, this is exactly what I was looking for so thank you. I've read just about every post for unlocking and s-off, but I'm glad you put it all together!

Second, so step #5 should really be #4?

Third, flame me if you want, but I don't have the developer tools menu to enable USB debugging. Does that show after using unlocking via HTC dev?

Thanks again!
[HTC Rezound] skeet43169:
This is how it should be but not all people think like that most just wanna put people on blast
[HTC Rezound] dustintheweb:
It worked for me, but AshtonTS says there is a better way. Search through the S-OFF FAQ thread (or similar) and see if you can get a consensus of what other people did.

If you're on GB, go to settings > applications > development > check USB debugging

Sorry about that, I had the ICS path in the guide (now fixed).

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Dimitri.k:
Hello Everyone. This thread might have been posted before & already answered but i seem that i can not find this.

I have a Sony Xperia S that i got from the Sony Store here in Toronto in April. I saw the yellow tint after 2 months & got Sony to send me a Purolator Label so i can send in the phone to get it fixed. Now seeing as they told me on the phone they might either change the LCD & all does that mean they will change the Glass & the built in Screen protector on the glass? They also told me there is a chance they might just send me a new Xperia S but they will try & fix mine first.

So all in all the question is, if Sony replaces the LCD, does they replace the Glass & the screen protector? The reason why i am asking is because my screen protector has gotten a lot of scratches which makes the screen look bad & i know its not the glass because i would have seen spider cracks but these are little scratches.

Also one other thing, How many of you here in Canada ( if possible or any other country) have sent in the phone with a yellow tint & got a new one xperia S?

I apologize if this has been answered before but i seem to not find it. Thank you for your help.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] a4rocks:
Question for Q&A section. Post your questions there from the next time. Regarding your query. They will be replacing the whole LCD panel alongwith the screen protector. They were giving quite a lot of replacement units initially due to a lack of availability of spares. Since that is not the case now, in all probability, you will get your old phone with a new LCD panel unless there is some other major fault that needs major repairs, then you might get a new replacement unit.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chochic10:
Hi i am recently encountering a massive battery drain when phone is on idle. Screen off, wifi and everything off even syncs. Brightness only 15%. Battery is draining average of 10% per 2 hours on standby. I uninstalled all apps prior to this prob but still nothings changed. It wasnt like this before. I downloaded betterbattery and i have 3 things on top list under kernel wakelock. The smdcntl0, smdcntl1 and radio interface. But i have no idea what they are..

By any chance i have a virus that only a repair would fix?

Also, i heard that there is a new firmware for xperia s. If i downloaded the firmware in the future will that reset and fix my phone's problem? Cause i dont want to back up 2 g worth of mp3 for a single repair. Perhaps there are simpler solutions.. Any answer would be appreciated.. Thanks..

Ps. Im using stock ics no root no nothing and i dont plan on rooting.

Hi all.

I was bored this morning, so I took it upon myself to manually modify the services.jar required to make the launcher Die-Hard, HTK, or Bulletproof.

This is used in the V6 Supercharger script found HERE

Each of these includes the correctly modified values for their respective types of launchers. The V6 Supercharger will automatically patch your services.jar for Die-Hard launcher, but personally I prefer HTK or Bulletproof.

Honestly this may not help anyone, but in the case that it does I made this thread.

To install, copy the V6 Supercharger you can get from THIS THREAD (attached at the bottom, read the thread though) to the root of the sdcard. Copy the services.jar you desire to the root of the sdcard as well. Under ICS Service Centre in V6 Supercharger, use manual install. It will copy and set proper permissions.

These files have been taken from CM9 Alpha 5 by dragonzkiller, but may work on other (previous or future) builds.

It is recommended to backup your services.jar in the case that something goes wrong. I believe this is done automatically in V6 Supercharger script.

Press thanks of leave a comment if I helped.

Ad hoc is a spec that is archaic, and really only supported through 802.11g.
