Hello guys,

My defy is stuck at the android logo thingy It goes through red M logo but is stuck at that android logo. My defy(MB525) is rooted. I havent installed any custom roms or anything of that kind(plan to learn and do that later when I am done with my final exams). Just simple root(so that I could take screenshots and stuff)! I tried removing the battery and restarting it...But didnt help. After a while the device got unusually hot so i removed the battery and kept the piece aside! I am not able to figure out what wrong happened in the first place( The phone was lagging so I tried to restart it..usually works fine)..:/

I am very new to this stuff.:confused: Can somebody help me to fix this?:(

Cheers,

Roshan

It's stuck on the android with the exclamation mark? (this one)

If so, then press both volume buttons at the same if your phone is on Gingerbread for the menu to show up.

If you are on Froyo, then the menu should show up after pressing buttons below the screen or lower parts of the screen (never could quite figure it out).

The menu that shows up is Android Recovery (or Android stock recovery). Try doing a "wipe cache" and then rebooting. If it goes back into the same menu, then "wipe data" should solve it. That will delete all your settings, but don't worry about your pictures and stuff, it's all on the memory card, as you know.

Anyways, what did you use to root it? This shouldn't have happened, really :S
[Defy General] Roshan_P:
Yes it worked!!

niksy+!!!

Dude it worked.:victory: I had to factory reset the whole thing(data+cache) but I really don't mind its totally okay! I am very very grateful for your timely help and you just saved my ass(My dad would have been really pissed)! Thank you so much!:good::highfive:

I am still on froyo for now!

And just for your information(since you were not sure) tapping the lower portion of the screen didn't work. I was trying various combinations...and that menu appeared. The combination(after the exclamation mark appears on the screen) that worked is volume up down. One has to to press volume up and down, up and down till the menu appears!

I used to SuperOneClick to root.. apparently the root is still preserved(I thought the device will unroot itself when I factory reset it)! Why do you think there was a better way to root it?

Once again....Billion thanks to you buddy!

And to XDA: You people are just ...AWESOME! \m/!!!!!:D!

Im trying to figure all this out and do it safely. I guess I bricked my 1st phone blue light only no power? I'm hoping to NOT do it again :good: ... Not very easy to get help around these forums since most ppl think you should already know. Im on ff18 and root per Qbkings vid, agat 0.2.1. Im timid on flashing now due to the brick. I have flshed about 10 roms when i was on el29 and never had any problems until i tried to flash an ICS rom.

So if im on ff18 root agat can I just use the format all and flash safely. And also how do you know when your going between roms that you are doing it safe? I want to try a few out?

Gtalk or emial jpeclf@gmail.com for any help offered.

Thank you in advance
[General Topics] gilbydakid:
Even though there is custom recoveries for ics. Many of us still use the tried and true method by using the el26 kernel.

Also format all does not play well with ics. Just wipe caches and do a factory wipe.
[General Topics] Kr@zY_J:
Cool so stay away from the caulk format all?

I flashed gingerbread roms over and over, after a bit my restores wouldn't work , then went for the milestone rom and bricked... I was supposed to use el26 according to vid and I think I tried to do it using clockwork instead of Odin(was I supposed to use Odin)? The only time I've used Odin was to root when I was on el29 and to root after i got ff18 ota. So do you use Odin each time and install the 26 kernel each time I want to install a new rom to be safe? ( if so then cool but I want to make sure I understand ) do I also have to are install cwm each time ( like meaning a safe version of it )

Right now the few rooms I'm seeing that I would like to try is cm9, the universe rom, and I hear about the " goodness rom"?

OK, so heres situation I'm on agat 2.1 and ff18 . Out of those three can I just download the rom and flash one or do I need to go to the 26 kernel and then do it EVERYTIME to be safe? I was sent a link for a safe kernel and said to " use and flash "? That just doesnt make complete sense to me yet?

Any and all is soooooo appreciated! I'm going to get this figured out so I can be comfortable and pros like some of you! I m really looking forward to it and if anybody wants to help a bit you can hit my email and I will not try to just waste ur time lol...

Thank you

Sorry it took so long to get back, it got kind of hectic at work.

Here is my formula of flashing.

Odin el26- make sure it is in the pda slot.

Go into recovery. From there I wipe dalvik, cache, factory 3 times apiece. You don't have to do it that much, it just gives me piece of mind.

Flash rom from zip. Reboot. Then I flash my modem through Odin- make sure the modem bin file is in the phone slot.

Hit run wait for it to reboot and enjoy.

Also don't worry about asking me any questions unlike most of the xda members I'm not a prick that will tell you search and read.

I can read a calculus book until I'm blue in the face. Doesn't mean I'm going to know how to do calculus after unless I'm given some guidance.

My current setup is -

Cm9- 6/21 build from Chris g

Kernel- ff11

Modem- el29

Odin v1.81 will not see phone in download mode

Hi,

my Epic4gTouch is currently on IMM761.FH13 and I want to go back to prerooted EL29.

I follow the instructions from this link by sfhub

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409634

I downloaded and loaded Odin3Excution v1.81

a) Put my phone into download mode with power and volume up.

1) The software never recognized my phone and I get no yellow com port. My window 7 PC does recognize my phone even in download mode.

2) If I do the same thing for my wife's phone which is still on GB then it sees the com port, but not on the phone with ICS installed already.

I tried to search and see if people have the same issue and did not find anything. For those who have already downgraded from ICS to EL29

can you please tell me which software you use and how you did it.

Thank you,

Btw download mode is power and volume DOWN then once your there you press the up button you get into download mode before plugging in.

If odin doesnt recognize phone with yellow com ..try a different cable

I'm looking to get a 32gb SD card and was wondering if Transcend was a good brand. Or if I should just get a Sandisk. Has anyone used Transcend before?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] RBarnett09:
Never tried them.

Just read reviews on them.

As far as I can tell, its not a bad call... but I see where others say it's slow.

I'll always recommend SanDisk, but that's because I know they are a trusted brand.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Kiyuubi:
I ended up just getting a PNY 16gb from best buy. It was on sale and they didn't have the transcend at that particular store.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] 640k:
Once again the iProducts corner the market with accessories you just can't find anywhere else.

Has anyone seen a decent portfolio style notepad that can accomodate a tablet like the 7? This was the best looking option I've found, but doesn't have the functionality of holding the tablet on the inside of the case, so that it is readily accesible:

http://www.zsxiaozhi.com/A5-Portfolio-With-Pocket-for-a-7-inch-Android-Tablet_p_291.html

It's a good looking case, although a little expensive.

I envision this type of solution reducing the amount of clutter I need to carry between conference rooms. Having instant access to corporate email, calendars and products like Microsoft Lync makes those long, over the time, meetings run a little smoother.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Lakilaulea:

Sorry couldn't find info via google.

Hey, I just signed up to add some information on the lost IMEI/stuck in roaming issue going on with the VZ GS3's. I don't have 10 posts, and I don't feel like it benefits anyone for me to create filler posts, so I'm hoping someone would be willing to cross-post this for me to:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1802024&page=22

I have some additional information on the cause of a lost IMEI.

I have had two non-stock ROMs on my phone. Beans8 and Synergy 1.7 and 52-60. No problems so far. Last night, I decided to try out imos .4 Lean Kernel. Upon reboot, I no longer had network service. I didn't know what was causing the issue, but after trying many things, I discovered my IMEI was gone. So, it seems that there is at least one case with solid evidence that a kernel replacement caused the issue, not neccessarily a full ROM.

I had done the efs.sbn backup about a week before this, so I thought I'd be fine. I ran the dd command form adb shell to replace the of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11. I assumed this would repair my IMEI. It did not. I had copied the .sbn file to a couple different locations, tried different ones, none worked. So, I went ahead with the QPST tool and manually replaced my IMEI. This still did not get service back, but a *2767*3855# reactivation finally did, of course, stuck in roaming mode.

This is where I currently stand. I am continuing to mess around with things to see if I can get myself out of roaming. If I have any luck, I will post another update.

If there is anything else I can do to help the devs determine root cause, please let me know.

I want to install a custom rom, however they say at the next custom rom: Install via recovery!

They mean the same here as how you would install the following custom rom:

So http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1673489

through Backup and Restore and then choose Restore.

Or they mean that you have to look to the .zip file on your SD, so as the next method.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lusterboi:
Hi,

I'm new to xperia S but had experience with Flash tool as I had flashed kernals before for my arc S. Now my concerns for xperia S is as follows:

1) Is there a specific version of Flashtool that supports Xperia S ?

2) Any options that I have to check for a clean wipe ?

3) Can I repair after the Flash is complete and keep the version of ICS that I flashed?

I'm on stock ICS now without any modding or unlocked bootloader. My main purpose for flashing is for a clean install and hope that quick launch for camera bug is fixed.

Thank you in advance
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bigdome:
[A] How to Flash Stock ICS on Xperia S

- The quick launch of the camera works on my device with Firmware 6.1.A.2.45

- I use version 0.8.6 of Flashtool

- what do you want to repair?

you can find everything here on xda...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lusterboi:
The quick launch works but not 100%, it is on and off. When it works, it will keep working as long as I do it one after another. But if my phone idles for about 2-3 minutes, then the quick launch button is a hit or miss. It takes 2-3 clicks for it to activate.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ashqmallik:
U havent really read the thread on issues over ICS did you? Its been a problem from the last ICS update. Sony still didnt came up with the solution neither did admitted the problem officially though as far as their customer regards goes, they have already declared that over the next few months they r gona release firmware updates for the problems we r facing (quick lauch/Bravia Engine). So calm down and pray for the goods :p:p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lusterboi:
That makes me rest at ease, I have heard from members that their phones work without the quick launch bug, I was left to think that something might be wrong with my device or firmware/region. Now that I know that it's a known issue, and not yet resolved in the latest ICS update, I will wait for the next one or possibly flash back to Gingerbread.

Thank you for clearing that up
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] xzuhto:
So I've been trying some of the many new ROMs we've seen lately. I've read through the bug reports and searched around cannot find anyone else having this issue. I install Swype Beta on every ROM and usually it works fine. However on some of the new ones it randomly won't want to swipe anymore. It starts acting like a normal keyboard. It worked just fine on the CM rom port Alpha 6. But it messes up on the recent Miui and the new Mik Sense v0.4 or something along those lines. Is this swypes fault or the ROM? should I reinstall one or the other?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] RazoE:
I've had the same issues with Mik Sense v0.4. It might be a multi-touch thing because I was having similar issues with other apps.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
I have the same issue intermittantly on CM9 and JB using FlexT9. The added dimension is that voice to text won't work either when the swype typing is jacked. When the swype typing is OK so is voice to text.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I vaguely recall having issues with getting the default keyboard to work when removing swype from bulletproof - doubt that info helps, but it did cause a headache on a modified stock gingerbread build.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] xzuhto:
I think you're dead on with the multi-touch issue. It only happens if I've been pecking the keyboard instead of swiping. For instance, if I type half a text by just pressing letters then try to swipe, it wont work. But then after the screen is inactive awhile it goes back to working. So now I'm guessing it's the rom itself?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
On Sense ROMS there is a really cook function called trace. It uses the Stock KB but allows you to swype around to text.

My opinion is Swype sucks, it always has and always will*Please don't flame for my opinions. Anyways trace won't help on AOSP but it will sure fix the Sense issue.

I'm not thinking its due to multitouch at all, we always had issues on the HTC EVO Shift not wanting to swype for us after a few so once we all learned about what HTC provided in the keyboard settings we all loved it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] xzuhto:
Could you elaborate on this trace a little? I've been running sense and never even heard of it. I really liked the ROM besides me not being able to use swype. If this is an adequate replacement I'm definitely up for testing it out.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Its in the keyboard and ROM settings. Give me a bit to flash back to virtuous infinity and ill post a screen shot or 2. Also so I can remember how to activate it ( I suffer short term memory loss, but who don't lmao ) be back in a bit man
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Riyal:
Mind if I do? :D

Settings->Language & keyboard->HTC Sense Input->Trace keyboard
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
And this is how it looks. You can change the trace color under the advanced settings

So for those of you who have pre-ordered / funded the kickstarter, what are your opinions so far?

Personally, I'm pretty torn about it right now. I really love the idea and I really want to use it all the time, but nothing works that great on it, yet. I'm not trying to sound harsh because I understand it's still in BETA, I just can't use it as a daily launcher. While load times have improved it still hogs up resources substantially more than any other launcher. They're slowly getting new widgets which is nice, but mine frequently crash. I constantly have connection problems with Facebook and sometimes they all just go blank. So, I'm curious if you all are having similar experiences. With the widget SDK being released soon I'm looking forward to 3rd party widgets.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] thevuman:
It's ok. I'm using it as my daily and widgets crash like there's no tomorrow. It has a long way to go to be a functional launcher, imo.

I'm using it as my daily launcher right now.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] antikryst:
really? daily launcher?

its still slow and unstable for me. i pre-ordered since it shows a lot of promise. really nice UI but still lacking overall. its still a beta after all so thats ok.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] thevuman:
Ya... I'm just using it as daily cause km bored with stock launcher right now. It's not stable enough for a real daily driver
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] funkyboy1281:
Its not bad but also not great imo right now. First had problems with the app drawer getting jumbled when swiping and now with the latest update my weather and Facebook Widgets just sit there with circles rotating until I remove and add the widget again. Don't really use as a daily or anything. I will give it a test though everytime it updates. Still needs some work before releasing in this next month

Needs a lot more work, which is happening as per the devs release notes. Would wait for the public build + x weeks before buying it: my advice.
