Any chance you have the mini USB to hdmi cable. Vzw store might be willing to test if they have one.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
As a matter of fact I ordered one from eBay about a year ago for my tablet and haven't had a use for it until now, but the end that plugs into the phone is a micro hdmi, not a micro usb. So, no I don't have one that will work.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
You can gain fastboot?!

Ok do this.....

Download amonra 3.1.5 to same folder as fastboot, name it recovery.img. When able to connect via bootloader do fastboot boot recovery.img

Give it a few minutes and see what happens when you do "adb shell"
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
After several Google searches, I can't seem to find amonra 3.1.5, can you provide a link?

I think I found it, I downloaded a file called recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm.img.zip
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
too slow...I think yours will work...that .zip doesn't belong at the end though.

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B28uLCcMCyfRVWxTU3dFMWpsbkk

this should work!:)
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
It said:

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 1.373S]

booting....

FAILED (remote not allowed)

Finished
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Crap. Locked bootloader :/
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
That doesn't sound good, is there a way around it?
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Do a blind unlock next lol. Have to grab your unlock token from the HTC Dev website.

Follow the HTC Dev Unlock guide or use the All-In-One toolkit to expedite some of these functions.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
So......how?
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Back up one response. Was fetching URLs.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
http://htcdev.com/bootloader/

???
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
Looks like I work on this for a while, thanks again!
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
That's normal for a "stock" rezound. I would just work on replacing the screen+digitizer and go from there.
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Yep, basic gist is you must register at that good ol' place. Run some commands to fetch a token for HTC, then they'll email an unlock file you flash to the phone. Then it unlocks the bootloader and allows Snuzzo's commands to utilize AmonRa and then adb shell commands. More on that last part later.

Refer to the guide or try the toolkit for further instructions.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
Yeah, because enabling usb debugging is one of the steps and I can't do that without seeing the screen.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Technically you don't need to enable adb in the Rom to access shell. Just access to a custom recovery. I wonder if doing fastboot flash ruu **name of zip containing amonra** would work.....

Edit

What I was going to do was have you run "cat proc/cmdline" and see everything you have.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
So boot into recovery mode, volume down/power for 25 seconds, then press power once more and after navigating to the platform-tools folder, type cat proc/cmdline

?
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Again, this is all going to be moot since you will not have a working digitizer to confirm the "yes/no" question to unlock bootloader to flash/boot a custom recovery.
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Nah. That is the bootloader you're booting into for starters, not the recovery. Be careful about that thought lol.

And last command there won't do anything unless you were able to run the "fastboot boot recovery.img" command successfully first. Need the custom recovery to be successful first...

Which returned "FAILED" due to a locked bootloader...

So you know what, just go ahead and unlock the bootloader. *Then* go on to the recovery and its own adb command set.

Run in the command line at the same directory path we been using, "fastboot oem get_identifier_token". Should spew out a bunch of code, don't reveal it as it is your device's unique ID for HTC's Unlock process. Hop on the htcdev website, register, and skip to down to where you need to copy and paste that token.

Nah, just did it again right this moment and confirmed you press the Volume key up and then power to confirm "Yes" on the unlock. No touchscreen.

Edit: Now ah, I must ask again if all this is quite "worth" the effort to get the adb commands working, this is kinda why I've said a couple times before and you have mentioned it too Snuzzo: perhaps just wait on the screen?

We've reestablished that it is *possible* to get some adb commands, now through unlocking and using a custom recovery... but, are they useful for diagnosing any potential hardware damage we don't know about? Still don't see the worth in diving into the software repair before the hardware is fixed, but I'm ignorant of the full scope and power of adb commands as well.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Agreed Phantasm. With getting fastboot commands ok without screen display, confirms screen damage with possible digitizer damage.

My commands I was going to have ran would had just.confirmed what firmware.

Then I would have pulled a copy of build.prop to confirm software.

EDIT:

Wait....

You said you were getting the CD Media dialogue? That tells me you have ADB enabled. Uninstall HTC Sync and see what "adb devices" comes back with
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
You know what!!! I'll thank you personally.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
First I uninstalled HTC SYNC, then I pulled the battery, waited 15 seconds, resinserted the battery, held power button for 3 seconds, waited 2 minutes and plugged in the usb cable. The computer beeped and CDROM opened, at which point I went to the command prompt and navigated to "platform-tools" and typed adb devices, which returned the "list of attached devices" and the BLANK line.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
Did I miss something here?
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Yeah, because debugging probably isn't enabled
[HTC Rezound] rezin:
you dont use the digitizer, you use the volume keys and power button to confirm the unlock
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Still even if unlocked and flashing an RUU, etc anything software wise, what good would it be for? I can safely say that the screen and possibly digitizer are damaged with no other problems found. My tests again were going to just get information for the software side with some firmware involved.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
Yeah...I'm pretty lost at this point, basically just doing what I'm told and hoping I did it correctly. I'll wait for the LCD (which should be here Wed) and go from there. I'm a very visual person, so without seeing what the phone should be doing on each of these steps, it's hard for me to keep it all straight.

I wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for the help, I never imagined I would receive this much help.
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
You're quite welcome, you've been a good sport about it lol.
[HTC Rezound] Meticode:
What was the cost of the LCD replacement?
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
$35.85 free shipping
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
How much of a tally total do you have put into this (minus time, cause time is money :))?
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
$55.85 total so far. I traded speakers I paid $20 for, but I also got the beats earbuds, 16GB card and apparently 2 laptops

And maybe another $20 for the digitizer if needed, so when all is said and done, hopefully no more than $75. As for my time, I consider what I've learned priceless and it's fun. I'm a tech junkie and anytime I can learn more about something I know very little about, I'll do whatever it takes!
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Hey that was actually a very VERY good deal IMO. **cross fingers** Let's just hope you don't come acrossed any other hardware fails. The earbuds & sd card themselves were worth the trade on there own.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
That's what I keep telling my wife, she doesn't exactly see it that way, so hopefully I'll have a working phone in a few days.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Hey wife!! If you see this, the phone is going for ~ $150-$200 on ebay WITHOUT SD CARD AND BEATS EARBUDS! ;)
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
I made her read this...she just laughed. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
You said something about posting the same comment in another area but no one responded. So I said thanks lol just in a good mood. Sorry off topic, so carry on lol.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
Ahh, gotcha! There for a minute I thought you knew who I was and were going to thank me in person, but I don't know anyone in Fowler, OH, so I figured I was just misunderstanding you.
[HTC Rezound] rezin:
Replacement digitizers n displays are like 25 bucks...sounds like a good investment...
[HTC Rezound] dottat:
Having replaced one digitizer before...I can tell you I would buy both LCD and digitizer preassembeled from now on. Most of the time when you buy them separate they don't come with the correct double sided tape. Even if you find tape the digitizer will likely lift.

It also makes the entire job much less frustrating !!!
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
This is a "budget" fix, and the cheapest digitizer/lcd assembly that I can get in the USA is $90, where LCD and digitizer seperate are $55. I choose to purchase from eBay because they have to make it right if something is wrong. But I agree, the assembly would be easier, but I've got a hair dryer to make the job easier.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
I amazingly just heard from the old owner. he lost his phone. Anyway I asked him if the phone had ever been rooted or changed in that aspect and he assured me it was not.

I'll keep checking in and definately let you guys know how the LCD replacement goes.
[HTC Rezound] rezin:
i just looked up the parts the other day...dont buy anything yet...im almost certain i saw a set (digitizer and screen) a lot cheaper

---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------

okay nevermind i found the site with the info...the screen and digitizer combo is 90...but prolly more convenient/trustworthy than ebay

http://search.store.yahoo.net/yhst-...g=yhst-77219656498823&query=rezound&x=57&y=13
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
Looks like the screen will be delivered today, I'm pretty excited to get this thing working.

I did end up spending another $12.85 on it though, I contacted Kingston (maker of the 16gb micro sdhc) because the 16gb quit working that I got from the previous owner of this phone. Knowing they have a lifetime warranty, I asked if they would upgrade me to a 32gb card and they said they would for $12.85 so I figured, since I can't even get them that cheap from ebay, I might as well do it.

So if you guys have an sdhc micro sd by Kingston, just call them up and ask nicely.

When I get the screen installed I'll post the results.
[HTC Rezound] d0ppler302:
Good luck with the phone. Always good to overcome a potential bricking situation.

Cheers
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
Question:

So I've got the phone all taken apart, I left the digitizer/lcd assembled and digitizer plugged in, but unplugged the old LCD and plugged in the new LCD. I held the battery firmly in place and pressed the power button for a few seconds, but NOTHING :(

Do I have to completely assemble the phone so everything gets a proper ground or something, to see if the new LCD is going to work, or should this way work with the phone all taken apart?
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
Unfortunately.....I found the problem

The black connector that the LCD cable plugs into, is broken.

You guys were awesome and I really appreciate all the help, but it looks like the phone is not repairable :(

However I do have a brand new LCD for sale!
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Picture please? I would like to see the damage to see if it is repairable. Depending on the part I may be able to source it and swap it here in the lab...that of course would require you to ship it to me.
[HTC Rezound] rezin:
yeah man nothings ever beyond repair...especially if its warranty has been voided youve got nothing to lose...whip out that soldering gun
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
Hopefully this upload works.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
I searched eBay for a mainboard but nothing, so you guys are my only hope.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
If that is an option....I will gladly do it. Thanks and let me know what you think based on the pic.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
I also checked with Repair Universe, but they do not have anything.
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Sorry that wasn't of help. Yup, that definitely looks more trashed than just pressing up against something as originallly stated. :/

Keep checking around for help and a solution, worst case I may want to get that LCD from you, will shoot a PM.
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
I agree. It seems that maybe he did something then opened it up to tinker around with stuff and broke the connector while tinkering, then just decided to not disclose that.

anyway...

It is an FFC connector as expected, but what is difficult to see is the access to the connection points on the board. Can you count the number of conductors on the cable and can you measure the pitch (distance from center of one pin to the next on the cable)? This is necessary in finding a replacement connector. Also is this the flip latch type (open flip latch, insert cable, snap latch down), or is it the kind where you press in on a latch, insert the cable. The cable is then removed by holding the latch in and pulling on the cable.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
There are 25 gold connections on the LCD ribbon cable, 13 up top and 12 bottom. I have a very expensive set of digital calipers, but I don't think it will measure that small. The connection on the mainboard is a flip latch style.
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Ok, who makes the LCD? Is there a MFG part number on it. I can probably get the pitch from their datasheet if it is available. maybe even a recommended connector.

My guess is that it is a 25 pin, 0.8mm pitch connector, but would like to verify that.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
I have no clue on the manufacturer, I'm sure it's the cheapest chinese one available. We might have better luck going through HTC and getting specs on the mainboard or original LCD. Let me know what I can do to help.
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
OK. I'll look into it a bit to see what I can find. I have put in an email to HTC repairs to see if they know the connector part or can provide some help.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
I just got off the phone with their tech department, they referred me to PCD (personal communication devices) who repairs all HTC phones for verizon. I called them and was told they can fix the phone for about $100
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
$100 is half the value according to Samsung (trade in program). It's up to you. Still you'd be in a Rezound close to $200 if you did that. I was just trying to get the information to see how much the part costs...and from the looks of things it is located in a tricky area for soldering. Not that it couldn't be done, but it won't be the easiest repair. I have the microscope and the tools here at work. Clearly the easiest option is to pay the $100 and have them fix it. Up to you.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
If we can source the parts and if you are willing to do it (I'll pay you ofcourse) then I'll probably go that route.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
I just thought of something, the original LCD cable is twisted and I'm not sure if it was even in correctly, if....the ribbon cable goes pin side up, then it's definately broken, but if the cable goes pin side down then this broken connector won't matter and it should still work.

Can anyone confirm whether the gold pins on the lcd ribbon cable face down toward the mainboard or up?
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
After watching repair universe's video, it appears that the gold contacts face up :(
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
Have you tried the new LCD anyway?

Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Well here is the repair center's phone number for HTC. 1-866-449-8358. They might be able to clarify the type (pitch and contact count) of that LCD connector...who knows maybe then can even provide a part number for an acceptable replacement. If you get a chance, it wouldn't be a bad idea to give them a call and find out if they can help.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Ouch. First time since my last reply that I checked in on yah(I forgot to subscribe) if you want since I was rather sure it was just plain out an LCD issue, I would be willing to help cover some of the cost of repair. I'm sorry I mislead you.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
WOW nice offer but there is no way I could accept it. I'll continue searching for a donor phone and then hope I can find someone that can fix it.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
Looks like my Rezound isn't going to get fixed. Finding a donor phone isn't looking good so I've decided to sell it for parts (I'm keeping the beats earphones) and or the new LCD.

If interested please PM me, I paid $35.85 for the LCD
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Bummer. I haven't been able to source the connector either. I could take the phone off your hands if you have no use for it. If I get the connector fixed I'll send it back.
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
So I just got my hands on an HTC Sensation 4G. It's a T-Mobile version (can this phone be flashed to Verizon?), but I assume it has the same LCD connector inside. I'm considering harvesting the LCD connector, but I can't make up my mind what exactly I want to do with the phone. It's MEID number is no longer valid, so it's basically a parts phone, but it works perfectly.

I really really really want to learn more about ADB and android development, so for the past hour I've been "trying" to learn how to use SDK. I can't hurt anything, even if I brick the phone I really don't care.

Would you guys try to find someone that can switch the connector and get my rezound back up and running or how would you hack and crack this phone for something fun?
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
Nevermind on the Verizon question, I found another thread that explains why it can't be flashed to Verizon.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
I'll be honest, I don't think that will work. Congrats on the Sensation though, I'm jelly. I wish I still had mine lol
[HTC Rezound] vetteguy112233:
I understand that fixing the Rezound with parts from this phone probably isn't going to happen. So considering it's no longer a functional phone, what would you guys do with it?

I plan on learning to flash custom roms with it and then let the kids play angry birds and other games with it.

Other thoughts?

Hey there Motorola razr users!

I just want to make some things clear to myself. I just switched from samsung galaxy s i9000 and i feel like i jumped in a drama. And i started to think i made a bad decision with this device.

1. Is there any way to change to another ofgicial ics? Seems like i bought a brasil device.

2. If i can change wich is the best official rom? Or can i install any custom rom? Or there are region specific custom roms aswell?

3. Is there any rom like stock but removed unusable motorola stuff?

4. We have any devs left or thay al have gone?

Thank you! I hope i will really enjoy this :)

Cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sh4itan:
no drama :silly:

1. Yes, it's possible, look for the eternity project threads in development section. there's an europe ROM for ICS 672.180.33 that should work on every GSM RAZR (XT910).

2. I don't know if there are big differences in official GSM ROMs. But for custom ROMs there are lots of them. I prefer Arctic ICS (port of XT912 to XT910) or Epsilon_v3. Havn't tested CM9 or Cm10 for now.

3. Arctic ICS port. Most of moto- / bloatware removed.

4. There are still dev's for the RAZR and they do awesome work! Just check the dev forum!

Hope i was able to help you :D

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tomb77:
I am having issues downloading attachments that I did not have issues with before. This is not via email. I am unlocked and rooted. I don't know exactly where I started having the issue, may have been after flashing Sense Appeal from Virtuous. I did go back to Virtuous via backup and still have the issue. My recovery is TWRP. I have searched this issue and found nothing, any ideas to fix this would be great.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tomb77:
I moved important files to external sd and then wiped my internal sd via recovery. I can now down load files. I don't know exactly what happened or if this common but it seem to happen somewhere between roms. Thought I would post in case anyone else might have this issue.
[General Questions and Answers] Spyke562:
Hey everyone,

My wife has a HTC Rhyme. While the phone is docked the dock ringer is crazy loud. So I found a way to stop the dock ringer while the phone is docked via the docks Bluetooth settings.

More details:

https://vzwsupport.jive-mobile.com/#jive-discussion?content=/api/core/v2/discussions/767230

So since the last OTA update the settings still work however they don't save. Once the phone is re docked you have to go back into settings and turn off the dock ringer. Anyone else having this issue and/or have a fix?

Thanks...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dmullen1373:
So cheers to .232 ICS. It's thus far been running quite smoothly indeed for me. I have a quick question, however. When I go and download a particular app using the market app (Scottrade Mobile), it says it isn't compatible with this version. Ok I said. It must be the display resolution, right? Seems quite high on the ICS vs GB. So I downloaded the DPI mod app from the market and have literally tried everything (241, 160, and all the way up to 320) There has to be a way to juke Googz into seeing a GB device as it worked great on that. My ICS install is rooted and verified by the root checker app. I do have Root Explorer and am not against doing build.prop changes or anything else in an attempt to get this working.

Alwo worth mentioning is the fact that the "Phone Information" app is great for turning off 4G and forcing 3G. ICS has noticeably sucked more juice from the battery so this could help.

And to anybody doubting this phone, the data drops that I'd have sometimes 10+ times per day are totally gone. Not one. It's perfect in that department. No more switching or trying airplane mode or anything. So do it! You sooooo won't regret it!

Thanks to anybody with some insight or guidance as to resolving the above!
