[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mervant:
I woke up this morning and my phone will not boot. It automatically boots into the bootloader (hboot) and the up/down (volume keys) wont move the cursor to allow me to get to the recovery option. Also if I try to boot into recovery using the hard button combo it vibrates 3 times and the led turns to green, then it just sits/never gets to recovery. Since hboot is looking for the PDimg file I figure I could use this file to revert to stock but I was hoping someone here might have a better answer.

If not can someone let me know how to go about flashing with a PD15img file and where I can find a copy?

Thanks guys
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanner195:
Sounds like your volume button is stuck
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mervant:
Nope because it knows when I'm using them to try to go straight to recovery also the power button cannot be used to select either but it works to turn the phone one. They just stop working in hboot.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
A constantly pressed button will of course also react when you're trying to boot directly to recovery. The phone doesn't "know" anything.

Another option is a stuck trackpad.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:
If all else fails you might try to reflash recovery and or Hboot, it never hurts to try from a clean install.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mervant:
I think you guys are misunderstanding the point. This has nothing to do with the buttons. My issue is when I turn my phone on (by hitting the power button once) the phone will only boot into hboot. Once in hboot none of the keys (power or volume) work. If I try to boot directly into recovery by holding vol up/down + power; the phone will viberate 3 times and the LED lights up green. It then just sits on a blacklit black screen and does nothing else.

I am looking for eirther; Anyone that has ever had this issue and may be able to shed some light onto why it happened. Which by the way was completly random, I shut the phone off before going to sleep and woke up too it viberating like crazy then when I tried to turn it back on; this is what happened.

Or the answer to this question; How do I install a rom from hboot? Can I just install any rom as a "update" by using the method of naming it PD15IMG? Since it does search for this file when I have a sd card in at boot. But if my memory serves me correct it will ask; "Would you like to install this update?" and if my hard buttons do not work and I cannot click yes than what else can I do?

Thanks for all the help guys!!!!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
And I think you can't read. You've been told in 3 posts that the phone boots directly to HBOOT because EITHER A VOLUME DOWN BUTTON OR A TRACKPAD BUTTON IS STUCK, ON ELECTRICAL LEVEL - THE CONTACTS ARE ALWAYS CLOSED. And THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT ON SOFTWARE/FLASHING LEVEL. You need to fix what's broken, and you've been told what's broken. Patience isn't one of my skills. Good luck from here.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mervant:
I do thank you for your help but you may want to aquire some patience if you plan to continue helping people... since people in need of help are most likely confused. ;)

Thanks though :highfive:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Im my experience Jack_R1's answers are always right and are the answer to your question. If you think otherwise one of two things is happening.

1) You did not explain your problem thoroughly.

2) You need to examine his post(s) more closely.

He has zero tolerance for stupidity or ignorance due to laziness (i.e. not searching). I'm not trying to speak for him or defend him or anything else. He's grown and quite capable of handling all that. The man just knows the answer and gets to the damn point.

I wish we had more people around here like him.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mms6:
So basically my SIM contacts which I manually entered one by one disappeared once again today... (The reason I manually entered my contacts is because I changed my SIM to a microSIM and my carrier ROGERs refuses to transfer it for me...)

Running all stock Rogers ICS, no root no nothing..

This disappearing issue was present on all my other Galaxy S3s from Rogers which I exchanged due to flimsy battery cover (hairline cracks) and WiFi random disconnecting issues...

(**Note: ticking display only SIM contacts do not work, ticking another display option and switching it back to only display SIM do not work, rebooting the phone do not work, removing the battery do not work, and syncing option turn on and syncing do not work..)

The issue will be solved if I remove the SIM card and reinsert it, or factory reset the phone. By doing this, it is a temporary fix, I realized that all my SIM contacts will disappear again after a few days.

The only way I can prevent this is to save all my contacts in my Phone Memory or in the cloud Google Sync (I don't trust my privacy with Google though)...

What is happening.... Is this a known ICS bug?? (I used Froyo and Gingerbread on my Galaxy S Captivate and Galaxy S2 Skyrocket LTE....

I have used android since the first Galaxy S (captivate) and I never had this issue before..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cyber_Cyclone:
Check if it helps

Try and see if you can make a backup of you contact with a google account. Therefore all your contact will be backup there instead of your sim. That way you will never lose them.

Also you can check, while in contact hit menu and see if there is a option: Contact to Display". click it & see if it give you an option to select sim or phone. if it does. select either of them to see if your numbers are there.

Maybe this might solve your problem.

Hope this helps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ThatJawn:
Don't trust your privacy with Google?

May I ask why? You're using a Google phone. Syncing a phone to Google servers so you can use your branded Google os phone.

And in terms of someone using mischevious ways to illegally access your contacts. Id be more concerned with your internet provider than Google.

But anyway. Hope you get it fixed mate. May I offer a solution? Have you asked your provider for maybe just a brand new sim? And why have they said no to transferring your contacts? To my knowledge they can't really refuse you, or the store you went to is just a bunch of dicks.

Also. If you have best buy near you. Ask them for some help. Mobile guy here. At my store we would do it no questions asked no charge just to help a fellow out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mms6:
As I mentioned in the OP, I ticked the contacts display to SIM only...

@ThatJawn

I know I am using a Google Phone, but the only thing I would ever sync with them is my GMail account and my Google Play Apps...

I do not sync any personal contacts/appointments and of course contact numbers and addresses with them ever since I started using my Galaxy S1 Captivate...

Yes, the store I went to was a bunch of dicks... I don't know if you know the Canadian carrier Rogers Wireless, they are shady people and some of them are just straight up dumb....

Basically my microSIM is a new card.. But for some reason Rogers' new LTE microSIMs do not have the normal SIM cutout adapter... So it makes it difficult to transfer my old contacts from my GS2 Skyrocket LTE to my GS3. The store has a freakin' multiSIM reader, but the teenage chick at that Rogers store in Downtown Toronto did not know how to operate.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ThatJawn:
Hmm try to catch a different person?

Or go to best buy? Or say like a Walmart or anywhere else they sell mobile phones. I'm sure they wouldn't have any issues doing it for you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
I too don't trust Google with contacts n such. So here is what I do:

Installed "Go Contacts" app.

Always keep it frozen and use only when I need to backup.

This app has option to export contacts. In case of any issue, you could import from the exported file.

You could create as many backups as you want since the exported file gets created with the timestamp as name.

Is there a way for cwm to boot into external SD card? Coming from HTC amaze it was one of the options.

Also, hard boot into recovery via battery removal it's so painful - holding 3 buttons and inserting the battery at the same time is a challenge. Is there another way?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] option94:
Rom manager has a reboot recovery option. Yoibcoild use adb reboot recovery. There are lots of other ways.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aznmode:
There's no need to insert the battery at the same time. Do that first. You can even put the battery cover on. Then when you're ready hold power, volume up, and home button at the same time. If you wanted you can even hold home and volume up before pressing power.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hucesar1017:
What about changing cwm so that when we boot into recovery you can flash from your external SD card?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bronyr:
This works fine under normal boot into recovery, but I just use quick boot app from market for that. The problem is when I flash a different rom for instance and forget to flash the matching kernel. The only way to get back is to remove battery trick, which is not easy.

[Atrix 4G General] pre4speed:
I'm on cm7 still as I absolutely need every feature working right. My question is, is there a way to edit the emergency numbers that can be called via the lockscreen(I use fingerprint unlock to keep prying eyes out)? I notice I'm able to input numbers in that screen but get the error saying its not an emergency number when I press dial. So just wondering if say I can do like a one touch dial for those contacts I'd want notified in an emergency?

EDIT: I'm on the app right now and you know what a pain searching from there is. I'm about to google the question as well.

Oops wrong section. Thought I was in q&a. Mods please move.
[Fascinate General] Fry_Man:
Hey everyone.

I have read alot of threads relating to the different ways to flash my samsung fascinate. They are all pretty easy to understand.

But i have a tablet, a Zenithink C91, It came with 2.3 and updates have been released from the manufacturer regularly.

The tablet comes rooted. On my tablet, when i reload, or upgradem i simply put the upgraded ROM zip on the SD card, hold the 3 buttons and it finds, loads and reboots all in one operation.

Why isnt the process the same on the fascinate? i mean once the phone is rooted, Why cant you just load a jellybeen ROM zip on the SD card and use the 3 button method.

I guess im not making the connection as to why its so much more complicated for the phone. I can reload 2.3 from 4.0, upgrade 2.3 to 4.0 without doing anything but putting the file on the sd card.

Is this because the updates are straight from the manu and for that specific model?

Hope that doesnt sound to stupid. Thank you for any help. Love the work bein done i try to donate much as poss.

Fry
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
for the fascinate you can actually view, select and flash more than once thing at once in recovery. we can't use the 3 button method due to a bug but you can boot into CWM using apps or a computer and then browse all your files and flash whatever you want. It isn't as simple but gives you a lot more freedom and options in how you do things.
[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
Jt literally just fixed that a day or so ago. Lol. so it'll come soon enough.
[Fascinate General] Fry_Man:
Thank you guys for the replys.

Is it the boot loop bug ur referring to for the 3 button method?

I guess if that is fixed the phone could be flashed alot like the tab then right?

What will have the JT fix when its released?

Please can someone help and give me some directions and relevant stock recovery zip so I can do this.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Trans4M:
Why stock recovery.....?

If you rooted your device your warranty is void.

I think the only way of getting stock recovery back is by flashing your tab

with a stock firmware.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jerfy:
So im running CM7 i believe and it is rooted everything is good on my phone just a couple of quick questions about things that seem to be annoying me.

1. Does anyone else's phone seem to heat up pretty quickly with extended use? For example if i've got the screen on and I'm texting for like an hour straight it gets pretty warm to a hot sensation right on the metal part that holds the SIM card in and the SD card. The phone also heats up when its charging too, i'm assuming that is normal.

2. I have ADW Launcher and the Cyanogen Mod or whatever it's called. The issue is that when I'm playing music and get a text my audio will completely pause (but the song keeps going) and then keep going which tends to get annoying when I'm enjoying a part of the song and I miss it entirely because of a notification. I've tried to set it up so that it ducks the audio 4db but it doesn't seem to work for me. Does anyone know how to fix this?

3. Sometimes when I receive texts i can hear it through my speakers of my computer coming but my phone will never fully "receive" it so it sits in limbo forever. Does this happen to anyone else?

4. Battery problems, it seems to die a little quicker than i'd like. I've got it on the lowest brightness, no internet, no bluetooth, no gps, wifi usually on but when i'm not near a wifi hotspot i turn it off. Is there a solution to this?

Thanks for any help in advance
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gpmartinson:
I'll try to answer them inline if I can....

Overheating is pretty much the norm on the G2X. Perhaps there are other ways to deal with this, but one way for sure is to go to settings-->applictions-->development and click stay awake. This reduces the overheating while charging. If you get a lot of overheating it might be the battery.

4. Download this and check wakelocks and see what is running...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jerfy:
Kernal is 2.5.32.55-cyanogenmodrmcc@tenkian

I've tried to notification duck but it doesn't work. It's on right now but when im watching a youtube video or something it still cuts the audio out completely but still plays it while i listen to my notification ring

Also, once a phone is unlocked it is unlocked for good right? Even if i put different ROMs and such? Cause i bought this phone 2 months ago unlocked with it rooted and flashed with this stuff. I'm asking because I'm scared that if i try putting a different ROM on it that won't be unlocked anymore. I don't know the unlock code or anything lol

Edit: And i know the G2X camera is bad so I'm wondering if there is a way to make it permantly increase the exposure to +1 or +2 instead of me having to change that every time i open the camera app or is that not possible?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jerfy:
also im thinking of ditching the g2x all together for the samsung galaxy s2 do you guys think it is worth it? I don't know if the S2 has any problems as bad as this phone. It's going to cost me 100 dollars to upgrade to it in the end. Thoughts?? or maybe the samsung galaxy nexus

I was going to do the same when I have the money to buy a new sgs2
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jerfy:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyansky_1:
If your phone was unlocked (not the same as rooted) it will stay that way. ROM away as you wish. :o

Unlocked = can use on any SIM based carrier

Rooted = means you can do whatever you want to your phone software-wise.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deathmaker06:
I myself have the heat problem but it was partially fixed when I decided to mess the overclocking and undervolting made available by custom kernels. To fully fix this problem with my phone overclocked to 1.4ghz and undervolted I took some aluminium foil layered a few pieces together and cut it to the size of the back. I added a bit of extra aluminium to where the sim is because it seems like that is where most of the heat comes from and now my phone becomes warm but not warm to the touch now that it can disparate heat faster.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Anant Goel:
Very nice idea but wouldn't the aluminium retain the heat to the battery causing it to overheat

I have the international s3 and running Omega ROM. I would like to play games with a controller and read that a OTG cable will be needed which I can try to find and buy but my question is, will it work with a ps2 controller since I have so many of those laying around? Or will it only work with Ps3 and Xbox360 controllers?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
You can get an adapter for about $4 to use Ps2 controller on Ps3 and if you plug it into OTG it will recognise a Ps2 controller as if it was a Ps3.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
PS2 controllers have a very large custom plug which does not even look anything like a USB plug.

PS3 controllers have a normal USB-plug, hence Michael_P's recommendation of getting a PS2->PS3 controller adapter and then plug that adapter into the USB-OTG.
