I know that plugging the usb puts you in download mode, but some people have issue with it, I found out my way also works while messing with the phone trying to get to recovery while the phone is plugged to the pc.

Try it yourself you'll see it also works.

Yeah your way works too. I've done it by mistake a couple times

Recovery and download mode are two different things, you said to hit the power button which will bring him to recovery, he was trying to get into dl mode. Cable in or out doesnt matter for getting into recovery

Nothing works, it always goes into recovery mode. Then it shows the android laying down with a !, saying Verifying internal MMC block...

This thread is a little old so need more info on what you're trying to do and where you're starting from. And I know you're trying to get into download but are you on stock rom, a custom Rom, any other info would be helpful
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RobPiazzajr89:
Stock rom, the phone doesn't go into download mode anymore, just recovery, the 3e. As well usb connection seems to be not working. I tried taking the device apart but the last screw near the top was freaking stripped lol.

I don't know how else to root. That is my issue I'm trying to root.

[Kindle Fire General] georgeos:
So I did a tear down of my kindle fire because the touch screen was acting up and, I have a replacement touch screen, and I did the standard replacement but it's still not working, one thing that I have noticed is that the strip of the digitizer of my new screen is shorter than the one on my old one, could this be the reason for it not working? I mean I was able to get SOME response from it but then it stopped all together.

Help!? I'm in the UK so I can't get mine replaced.
[Kindle Fire General] Starzie:
You might try getting a US based re-shipper like myus, It's more expensive, But hey, It's a factory replacement.

Hello everyone,

today we tried to update my samsung and we installed wrong flash(galaxy s II) and now my telephone isn't working.

Can you help us? It doesn't turn on when doing 3 buttons combination and it doesn't turn on in all possible ways.

Please help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jogibush:
It's not starting at all? Download Combo via volume down + main key + power button doesn't work too?

1.

Connect your phone with the charger. does the phone loading up the Battery ? If not, pull out the battery and try again.

1.1

If the battery is fully loaded, connect your phone to your PC. You should have installed the latest Samsung drivers and Your phone should be loading as well as with the charger.

2.

Now you can try to get into download mode via ADB commands. Download Android SDK and search via Google for the ADB code to enable Download mode. Flash the right files via Odin (you'll find stock Roms in development thread), and enjoy your phone.

Hope you'll get your phone alive ;)

I could send some links if I'm at home later. Best regards.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hitsugy:
Hello Guys,

Recently I've unlocked my Xperia S bootloader and then upgraded it to ICS UK fw.

Because of the "DRM" thing i cant use that "find music info" feature.

In order to solve this problem i've locked my bootloader again, installed the original fw (UK ICS) and did a factory reset. But even though this feature is not working. So, is there anything that i can do to solve this situation? I really ejoyed this feature..

Thanks in advance,

Hitsugy,
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] utsav911:
You mean downloading the album art from walkman app?

if so I can't download with locked BL and stock ics Rom.

IT always says unsupported software version.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hitsugy:
Not only the album art, but the music name as well. I used to transfer some MP3 as "Track 01, Track 02, .." and then the walkmap app just updated with the correct name, for an example. I just had to use the option "Download music info" and it worked.

Anyway, is there a way to make it work again? As i told you, i've unlocked and then re-locked my bootloader.

Thanks in advance,

Hitsugy.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] monivan:
Oh i just tried ut! It said download error all the time!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Irseq:
That's cause unlocking bl makes drm keys lost. I dont really know what are they for, but this is the consequence of deleting them.

Sent from my Xperia™P with SSpeed rom.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hitsugy:
That's exactly what its happening to me..

So, there's no way to restore the drm key, right? =(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Irseq:
Well, if you read the thread about the unlocking bl's there was something like "DRM KEYS ARE LOST FOREVER."

Use MusicBrainz Picard for tagging :)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jacker60:
Well as someone said the DRM keys are lost when you unlock your bootloader, even if you relock it it wont come back, for me i understand its like a license, and they are lost for security (I read that to protect their apps or something like that.... im not pretty sure) but the thing here is that you cant get your DRM keys, so you cant use this feature :(, try with media go to obtain the album art and all that stuff :silly:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] utsav911:
Well as I said, my phone is absolutely in stock ICS condition.

I haven't made any changes to my phone.

I wonder why it's not working on my phone? :confused:

Does flashing also deletes drm keys?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hitsugy:
Thanks for all the tips guys..

I'll try some players that can tag my mp3 too. I'd like to have the music information as well as the album's art..

Do you guys have any more players suggestions?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] acefiredx:
I've checked with some people, and they report that even though they haven't unlocked bootloader or flashed anything to the phone., they still CANNOT download music info. It still results in an error.

Could it be a country specific thing due to licensing?

My country is Singapore and the people I've checked with are also from Singapore.

Also, I've found this: http://communities-origin.sonyericsson.com/message/236937#236937

Installed the apk but didn't work. Or must it be flashed for it to work?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zagorteney:
It works for me. Don't forget to delete app\CredentialManagerService.odex.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] valday456:
does not work for me

you have unlocked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zagorteney:
I relocked it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] acefiredx:
How did you go about installing it?

Did you flash the zip file or use Astro to install the apk?

UPDATE: This is tested on an unlocked bootloader

I deleted both CredentialManagerService.odex and CredentialManagerService.apk and replaced it with the apk found in the zip file.

I attempted to download music info. This time however, (for the first time in my life) I got to the part where it showed preparing for download with the progress bar at 0%.

2secs later, I got a pop up, saying something like "Sorry, sony.com. CredentialManagerService has unfortunately stopped". I clicked ok and hoped that the download would resume. The pop up came again 2seconds later and I repeated the same steps for another 8 times but still stuck at 0%, preparing for download.

Next I rebooted the phone. I checked the app folder and a new CredentialManagerService.odex was automatically there. I tried downloading music info again and it gave me the same problem as I had before. Gracenote Unknown Error has occurred.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zagorteney:
I've just copied a file from .zip and put it to /system/app. Offcoure with wright permissons.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] acefiredx:
Could you tell me what permissions you set?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] acefiredx:
I suppose it means

Owner Read Write -

Group Read - -

Others Read - -

But somehow now I can't even get to the preparing for download screen.

I think we need someone else with a relocked bootloader to try this. See if it's only for relocked bootloaders.

UPDATE: I've tried running it with the CredentialManagerService.apk removed completely. I got to the preparing for download screen 0%, but it never loads. Time to work on this.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KlemenKosir:
I tested this using unlocked bootloader as well, and I get the same issue.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] acefiredx:
This may be a long shot but could you upload a titanium backup of the CredentialManagerService?

Maybe somehow it will work......
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Here are really nice Wallpaper Collection of my favorites I found here on XDA from other members for sharing and I'd like to share those I believed to be the best of the best. Another thing is I like to use a free app from the Play Store called Picspeed Wallpaper to set my wallpapers. It is an app you can download wallpapers from but you can use it to set wallpapers from your gallery which is what I use it for only. It has three sizes 480x800 non scrollable, Widescreen Scrollable and Wider Slim scrollable which are all great and you can size the box to the full picture. I love this app cause I can use the whole wallpaper.

Unlike the phone stock wallpaper setter which crops only a certain size of the pictures then enlarges it and then making them look like total crap (too big on screen) when set to phone.

If anyone has any favorites they would like to add here your welcomed to do so and share them with us.

Here are all wallpapers and a few more in one download link. Hit thanks and enjoy.

[HTC One X] godutch:
Wait a few weeks before and enjoy it as is, you will loose your warranty so better be sure there are no defects, also we'll get the andoid 4.0.4 update soon and from what I have seen from custom roms it really is a big improvement
[HTC One X] Rusty!:
Yes you can do it on a Mac, it's just basic fastboot stuff.

I wouldn't do it straight away though, just to be sure your device doesn't need any warranty stuff.

Can you elaborate? Is it better to not root?

I would advise not to root it so soon..I also sold sold my Galaxy Note n bought this beauty..the screen of Note was complete junk n was way too big for my liking..wasn't able make long calls due to its sheer size ..I miss the spen though..

N don't root your one x so soon ..first make sure that u don't have any hardware issues n enjoy it as it is for some time..see if any issue pops up in 15-20 days..if it's fine then u can root..coz as soon as u unlock your bootloader your warranty is gone..so wait n observe ..

Ok man thanks for the tip. I thought only if u install a custom ROM, the warranty is gone. Did not think unlocking bootloader will void it. Thanks!

Well, you don't unlock the bootloader unless you intend to tamper with it.

It's a crap policy, really.
[HTC One X] death__machine:
They(HTC) are damn sly about it. At HTCdev it says unlocking "may" void your warranty when what they really mean is it will void your warranty. Wait a few weeks or a month before unlocking.

I unlocked mine as soon as I got it. But the WiFi deathgrip showed up way later. Around a month and a half later. I haven't given it to HTC for repair yet as I'm in another country and sending it to repair from a HTC service center here sets me back by 35US$- Their charge to ship it to a International Service Center.

Your call it is to unlock or not :) Hf with your OneX.

have your judgement ready, I think you did understand in the first post already but it doesn't mather to explain it one more time. :cyclops:

stock has good battery, so does som custom roms, all depends on ur usage and screen brightness. all i know for sure is custom roms are gettinf me great battery AND performance. Sense has never been so smooth
[HTC One X] death__machine:
I agree I haven't given mine for repair yet so no idea if they will repair my unlocked phone.i.e No Experience as you call it. But I do have the experience of talking to them on the phone and contact via emails & I did mention a reason as to why I haven't given it for repair yet. A valid reason at that.

"Let me make it more clear then"

My HOX I got from the UAE and I'm in India right now. I can't avail my warranty here as its local but HTC offers an option to send my phone to an HTC International Service Center but they will charge for shipping $35. I sent this mail to them whining a little bit lol. HTC was nice enough to call me back. They mentioned the same thing about me sending it to a int. Service Center since its from UAE. I enquired about why they have to send it to a international service center and why can't it be done here itself and he replied saying that since my phone is from the UAE it has different software and hardware -_- I asked how long it would take for my phone to come back and he replied upto 30 days. I neither have that much time or money, so I'll wait till I go to the UAE later this month and give my phone.

You're the one who shouldn't have his judgement ready. Just because you have a perfect HOX doesn't mean everyone has a perfect one. I'm not the only person facing the WiFi Deathgrip either. So lets just call it quits here, I hope you get a better understanding of my situation.

I'd rather pick this up http://www.flipkart.com/nokia-1280-...NMG5&ref=835df16f-4081-4fed-8a95-b0b45ee17db0 than pay HTC 35$ :D

---------- Post added at 06:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 AM ----------

Another point I'd like to add is that custom roms also have the 2.05 base which was leaked but hasn't been released yet. It has great performance and lots of fixes. It killed the overheating problem my HOX had. Some people find the colors messed up on the 2.05 roms but I don't.

Anyways great custom roms here thanks to the amazing devs around.

I'm using cm10 by tbalden. Jellybean is awesome :D
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
You can try talking the story nice and straight but I don't take it.

Just because you're on a trip and HTC offers you an option to send it to an international service center doesn't mean they must pay for the shipping cost isn't?

The shipping cost they are charging you are just regular international shipping cost you pay for an item, nothing fancy about it.

Reading what you're writing now HTC is not bad at all so I do not understand why you start

moaning about them without any experience.

About your last sentence, I don't have any judgement ready I'm just telling you what I think about it.

To my opinion it sucks what you are doing, it's as simple as that.

Be patient till your back from your travel, return your device to HTC and then judge,

and please don't start crying here again if HTC doesn't repair your device under warrentee because that's there right too, you unlocked the bootloader and agreed with the terms.

It's there expertise and you're just a regular customer, they have a lot more experience then you.

So fingers crossed they repair it for you.

Goodluck with it. :cowboy:
