[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rage2wrath:
I got my hands on a mytouch that I am trying to fix. I am not 100% on the original condition but I was told it was stock and never touched. The owner went to sleep and woke and the phone will now only boot into the boot loader screen. Says S-ON, HBoot 0.89.0006, radio 26.13.04.19_m. It is completely unresponsive and none of the buttons do anything. When I plug it in the pc notices it and the phone changes to fast boot usb. I have tried placing the pd15img thing on the sdcard and it doesn't really seem to notice it. Adb doesn't seem to detect it either. Any ideas?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
i really am wondering how many people actually read my brick guide...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rage2wrath:
i read your guide. Did you miss the part in my first comment where i said I tried the pd15img file on the sdcard but that the phone doesn't seem to notice it.

"For S-On users:

Q: help! my phone is stuck on the Mytouch logo screen!

A: pull the battery, and see if you can get into the bootloader using volume down+power buttons

if you can get into the bootloader:

1) see if you can wipe data/do a factory reset in bootloader.

2) flash the stock Glacier PD15IMG.zip file choose from either

Android 2.2.1 OR Android 2.3.4

rename both files to PD15IMG.zip if not already.

-put both files in the ROOT of your SDcard, reboot into bootloader/hboot, and follow the onscreen instructions

note: if you are still unclear on what to do, read the "HOW TO RESTORE TO STOCK" section"

I PUT THE FILE ON THE CARD AND IT JUST SITS THERE TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE. None of the buttons work and the only thing I can do is pull the battery out.

Now thanks for the "help", but do you have any real suggestions?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Sounds like you have yourself a paperweight, OP.

Also, don't be rude to Saranhai, please. About 4.5 out of 5 of the "Help my phone is bricked" threads we get could have been prevented by the person reading his guide. No kidding.

If the volume up and down keys don't respond and the bootloader doesn't scan for the PD15IMG.zip file, then it sounds like your bootloader is corrupted or in some other way damaged. If the phone just decided to do this, literally, overnight it's probably a failed eMMC.

Anybody else want to chime in? I honestly hope I'm wrong.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEindian:
Sorry op, it is most likely bricked, send it back to tmo or htc if you can. Also, estallings is right, please don't be rude to saranhai, he has helped a lot of people pull their phones from the brink.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rage2wrath:
Thanks for a real reply. I was afraid it was just dead but I thought someone might have a trick or 2.

I got nothing against Saranhai, but for some reason he was trying to be an ass to me. He could have said nothing but instead he implied I don't understand how use a forum or look through guides or research a problem before begging for help.

And his "awesome" unbricking guide not only has dead links to megaupload files its also written very unclear in certain points.

"2) flash the stock Glacier PD15IMG.zip file

choose from either

Android 2.2.1 OR Android 2.3.4

rename both files

to PD15IMG.zip if not already.

-

put both files in the ROOT of your SDcard

,"

What does that even mean? So do I get to choose, or do I have to download both? It doesn't really matter because one of the links is dead anyway.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Place one on there at a time. At least with the name PD15IMG.zip. The name has to be very exact and the bootloader is suppose to scan for the file whenever it loads.

I would suggest the GB (2.3.4) file. Does that link work?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
Maybe I went off on you the wrong way, sorry about that. Its just that so many posts lately are from idiots who don't read anything at all..and they come here wining and crying. Maybe you could've posted that you read around next to ;)

As for my guide: I will try to fix the links and make it more clear...

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicolasfoto:
Hey guys. Recently I installed a new rom all went well and I rebooted for the second time after the set up. Now my phone just shows the white hero on black background. Vibrates once or twice and then just stays there.. the sd card is completely inaccessible. I can get to fastboot and have the following info there:

Hero cvt ship s-on

HBoot-1.76.007 (hero1000)

Mirop-010f

Touchpanel-syn0104

Radio-6.35.17.03

Aug 4 2009,19:43:30

I can boot to recovery:

CWM - based recovery v5.0.2.8

In recovery nothing works and the phone will try to boot if u don't move up and down

It won't mount the ad card for external storage, it won't wipe or do anything related to the sd.

When I connect to the pc I can hear windows doing the "ding" but nothing pops up and the device doesn't show.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kemoba:
Rip out your SD from your phone, plug it into your PC and put a ROM on it, flash it, if you cant wipe or anything flash it without wiping, if it works then do the wipe and reflash. I would recommend you to use CM7 stock unmodded. If that doesnt work get the RUU for your device and flash it ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicolasfoto:
Thanx but it doesn't work. When I go to fastboot it says "No image or wrong image".

I can not extract the .IMG from a RUU as the pc doesnt detect the phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kemoba:
Fastboot probably doesnt work since your phone is S-ON, you need to S-OFF it to flash custom .img's. When your phone goes to HERO on boot, in left top corner does it show FASTBOOT USB ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicolasfoto:
Nope it doesn't. Shouldn't my phone be S-Off when its rooted?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kemoba:
No, when it's rooted that just allows you to use flash_image to flash recovery to recovery partition. S-OFF is needed to flash .img's to partitions directly. If you want to flash an image then you need S-OFF. If you want to flash a .zip via CMW you dont need S-OFF
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicolasfoto:
OK so firstly how do I get it to S-Off and secondly how do I get a Img that I can flash?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kemoba:
To get S-OFF go to http://www.htcdev.com/ or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1471460

I HAVE NOT TESTED EITHER, SINCE I DONT USE IT, YOU ARE FLASHING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. Just to say :). If this goes wrong you can just use your phone to wipe your ass :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicolasfoto:
Lol Thanx man! As it is, its pretty damn useless so anything is worth a try!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kemoba:
If you manage to S-OFF i think it will be solvable :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicolasfoto:
I hope so, although its still a struggle to do.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Weird problem here; when I first got my HTC One X the alarms in the stock Clock app worked perfectly. They still work now, but I can no longer create new alarms with the Alarm Sound option set to Music, nor can I change existing alarms to use new music.

I first experienced the problem at least a month ago, and wrote it off to the app data being slightly corrupted, but just a couple of days ago I applied the RUU update, wiping my app data in the process. (And I didn't restore a backup, just reinstalled a few key apps and reloaded their data manually.)

So... there are no alarms set in the Clock app except the default three unnamed, disabled alarms. I can't change these to use music, and nor can I create a new alarm with music.

The symptom is that when I tap on the Music option, the menu vanished and I'm dumped back at the Set alarm screen without a warning, and without ever being given the chance to choose the music for the alarm. The alarm sound remains set to whatever it was before I attempted to change it to Music.

Before I wiped my phone, the existing Music alarms continued to work just fine, and there's very little music on my phone at all--just a handful of regular, short MP3s I used for alarms and the ringtone. They all play fine outside the Clock app.

Anybody else who can replicate this issue, or who has any thoughts / suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MystikMajik:
So I have a feeling my USB port is broken. It suddenly wouldn't mount to my computer. I tried a different computer, same thing. I tried to reflash my rom, same thing. And now the charging is wonky at best.

I'm just wondering what my options were. I bought this phone outright myself. So I don't have a warranty. What do I do?

EDIT: Seems that charging is working fine... just my usb connection is gone. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doctor_leek:
I am also having this problem. USB charges fine but shows nothing when connected via usb to any of my PCs or a macbook air. mounts>USB Computer connection is set to Mass Storage and I have tried switching to MTP / PTP and back. It will not connect as any of these. I have tried rebooting both machines. I am running TeamChopsticks CM9 Beta 1 (7/15/2012) and noticed this problem when I tried to connect to update to the latest version of this ROM. I have not yet tried flashing other ROMs. Rebooting into download mode works, but even from within download mode when plugged in to the computer it does not connect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JohnnyAn:
I'm having the same issue. I bought the phone used from a Guy that works in a flour plant and flour was caked in every cranny, including the USB to the point the charger wouldn't fit. I've since cleaned it out, and it charges now, but doesn't connect. There are also weird issues with the car Home turning on randomly, which I read somewhere is somehow connected to faulty USB ports (maybe the car mount has an extra pin or something rather than the magnet mechanism of other phones). At any rate, i ordered a new port on eBay for just $7 including shipping, i might take a while before i have the time to install it, but I'll report back if it fixes the problem.

Just download rom manager on google play.

Start the app and press the flash clockworkmod.

Then download cm7 from the cm site and put it in your sdcard.

Then shut the phone off and press power and vol down.

Then you are in the recovery mode.

Then go to install a rom (you can do it now by reading the options.

The real answer is to root again, then download a stock ROM zip.

Extract the desired app from the zip, put them on your sdcard if you're doing this on your computer.

With a file manager with system files r/w mounted, move the apk in /system/app.

Then unroot again if you will.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntman_dan:
Flashed neutrino 2.9 this morning and it is AWESOME! It was my first time ever flashing anything onto my phone, and everything worked out great! There are only 2 things I am wondering about...

First off, am I able to get swype set as my input method? I realize it's a pretty stripped down rom and swype has most likely been removed to cut down on size or increase efficiency etc. I've tried installing the swype beta, and managed to get the installer installed (yeah it's kind of an odd system, you download and install the installer to install swype) but for whatever reason when I type in the user/pass to get the actual swype installed, it just sits there forever and doesn't do anything. I've also just tried restoring swype with titanium backup from the backup I did on my stock rom, but it just starts a force-close loop until I set the input method back to the regular keyboard.

Secondly, and this is extremely minor, when I set up the fingerprint unlock there doesn't seem to be any backup unlock system for it. In the stock rom as we all know there is a pin that you can set to unlock as an alternative to swiping your finger on the reader. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but it would be a bit of a pain in the ass if I was to drop my phone and a rock smashed the fingerprint sensor, or my index fingers got chopped off in some freak accident haha.

All input greatly appreciated! Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, didn't seem quite appropriate to be posting over in the development section for something like this though.

*EDIT*

Swype problem solved. Looks like there was something wrong with the swype beta installer. After force closing it and opening it again it worked just fine, and swype is now installed and working (so far) perfectly!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntman_dan:
So... Sort of a bump, but I ran into a new problem today.

For some reason when charging my phone, it only charges to 92%. I had it plugged in for about 12-13 hours, and it just seemed to stop charging. I pulled the battery, rebooted the phone, plugged it back in, etc. Didn't seem to do anything.

Anybody run into this one and know of a solution?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] iofthestorm:
For those that are wondering about what handwriting on the Galaxy Note 10.1 is like, here's a sample of one page of text from the Papyrus app handwritten by me. I was writing pretty fast and I know my handwriting is not the best but I did it like that to prove that the active digitizer works quite well. This also gives you an idea of how much text you can actually fit on a screen. Of course, you can zoom out and pan around to fit more but I think that's incredibly annoying for writing (but for drawing diagrams it'd probably be great).

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Magnesus:
This is excelent. I've been writing with capacitive stylus (Adonit Jot) and I wouldn't be able to write nowhere near that good with it (while for a capacitive stylus it's pretty good). I wonder why we don't see such writing in reviews... Also a question: doesn't the stylus slide a little because of the glass? Wouldn't it be better with a matte screen protector so it has some resistance?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] iofthestorm:
Thanks! Yeah, when I was reading all the reviews I didn't understand why no one thought to do this, instead we get the random drawings and one line sentences. The stylus should be the focal point of the review for a device such as the Note.

Yes, the stylus definitely slides because of the glass. I actually used to use an HP tablet PC about 4 years ago and it had a similar feel (although it wasn't as smooth because it had a resistive touchscreen layer instead of capacitive glass), and I think you do sort of get used to it. However, I think you can get Wacom styluses with felt tips or something like that so that you get a little more resistance, and as you said a matte screen protector would definitely make it better too (and is probably the best solution). I haven't tried one yet though. It's not the same feel as paper but I think it's not really bad, just not the same feel, and you could get used to it.

I am trying to replace the LCD screen on a 4G slide and I see there are two versions, a Sony and a Hitachi. The problem is that the part number on the broken screen doesn't match the part number of the Sony or Hitachi. I'm not sure what to do. I've Googled the part number on the broken screen and don't get any results. Has anyone seen LCD's other than the normal Sony and Hitachi? Maybe someone has a resource that would know which manufacturer this part number belongs to? The part number is: 83H00434-00. The serial number starts with: 2A4A. An y help or advice is greatly appreaciated.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fasst2001:
Thanks for the info. I did look through both of those posts previously. I do see the Sharp referenced in the kernel code you posted, but I can't find any reference to there being one available for the 4G slide. Maybe I'll try and order the Sony first and see if it works. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong part number...I'm getting it from the silver backing that holds the screen. I'm pretty sure that's the right place. There isn't a part number anywhere on the screen itself, back of screen or ribbon cables that I could see. I guess I can match it up by appearance since the Sony version has that extra line on it and then go from there. I'd hate to waste money and order one that isn't going to work though. I have attached images of the screen and the silver backing in case anyone can see something I'm not.

This phone is an absolute nightmare to take apart without damaging the screen and now I have an LCD screen that doesn't match either of the available replacements. I've taken apart and replaced digitizers and screens (and other parts) on hundreds of phones and this one takes the cake. That sticky tape they use to hold the screen to the backing is insane. Luckily the LCD was already broken, because even with a heat gun and hair dryer I couldn't get the screen out without damaging it more. :mad: I definitely won't take on one of these again.

Sorry for the rant. :laugh: I do appreciate the help and info and if anyone else might have any ideas of why I have a different LCD part number and what replacement I should get, I'm all ears.

Few questions after installing Revolver 4.2...

I try to install Guevor's 22.6 kernel, it goes through the process and it says complete. I reboot and the kernel still says 2.6.39.4 android @mars. What am I doing wrong?

Also when I tried to install the kernel through Revolver Parts, it doesn't download the file into sdcard/Downloads. I couldn't find it anywhere so I had to download it manually.

Also, am I able to boot my system so it automatically loads the rom? Everytime I boot it automatically loads into CWM and you have to manually get it to boot. Anyway around this?

Finally, can someone explain overclocking real quick to me? Can I overclock on this android @ mars kernel? (If guevor's works, I'd do it on that). I thought I could go on SetCPU and just change the clock speed to whatever I wanted (1.5GHZ for example). Instead there are two filters, one that is maxed at 1GHz and the other at 200MHz. What would the equivalent of 1.5GHz to set both bars accordingly?

I would REALLY appreciate if someone could help me out, total NOOB lol.
