Hi,

I am new to this forum, so to me it is not allowed to reply to this thread:

[TUT] How to upgrade HOX with a RUU(hboot.img, etc..) after installed a custom rom

I flashed boot.img, and recovery.img from the extracted rom.zip of the newest RUU (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe) in order to get back to stock. -> wifi fault :(

After flashing i erease cache and relocked the oem.

I tried to test everything, before getting the device back to the seller.

And now here is the problem.

I'm not able to get into recovery from bootloader (because this is what the repair service is doing first). The recovery tool starts with a mobile sign and a green circle and turns to a mobile sign with a red exclamation mark and then the device reboots to system.

I tried to run RUU a second time and i tried to re-unlock the bootloader and flash the boot.img and recovery.img a second time. I left the bootloader unlocked, but the fault is the same. I even tried to extract the recovery.img from rom.zip and flash again. Nothing works.

Anyone with the same problem? Anyone with an solution? (searched the forum, but does'nt find a situable thread)
[HTC One X] undacc:
Sorry for pushing...

I've found another thread with the same problem.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1621124&highlight=cant+boot+recovery

Meanwhile i flashed a costum recovery. This works. I made a fullwipe and flash everything again and install the RUU again.

Same Problem.

I tried to downgrade the recovery to 1.29; .1.28; 1.26. But every stock recovery wont boot.

Still no idea?
[HTC One X] eyosen:
Try applying the same version RUU before you unlocked. If you can get that working, then you can upgrade to the latest.
[HTC One X] undacc:
I actually used the latest RUU.

With RUU 2.17 cames hboot 1.12. Because of S-On I can't downgrade using a older RUU, as long downgrading hboot is not possible.

I think it is a problem of the hboot version, like it is checking wether the device is unlocked or a costum rom was flashed (so it is easy for the repair service to say there is no warranty).

Ironically a costum recovery works. and also its possible to flash costum roms.

[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Just lock the bootloader, connect to the PC in fastboot mode and run the 2.17.401.2 RUU - job done
[HTC One X] undacc:
OK. I downloaded the RUU 2.17 from another source. MD5 is the same. extracted the recovery.img and flash again. didn't work.

Installed the RUU again. nothing.

I tried a lot of recovery.img including this one from your link. I don't know why the stock recovery tools wont work.

Every costum recovery will work. but why?

I started testing to flashboot boot every recovery.img. now here is some interesting:

fastboot boot recovery_signed_1.28.img

creating boot image...

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 0.793s]

booting...

Using costum recovery no problem. Using stock recovery will cause this error.

The partition should be OK, because the costum recovery works.
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
You don't do Fastboot boot recovery.IMG to put stock recovery back on.

You do Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[HTC One X] undacc:
yes i know... ;)

i said i tried to fastboot boot other recovery to test where the issue is. and those which are booting with fastboot boot, are also flashable and working.
[HTC One X] undacc:
I don't know whats the issue.

Thanks for the help.

I will send the device to repair center with a costum recovery. let's see what happens.

Or I'll just solder it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] t0adman:
I'm fairly new to Ti and have a question. I'd like to backup my downloaded apps and user data like text messages and email settings. I don't need much more than that. I saw a tutorial that said to backup apps, user and system data. That doesn't seem right if I'm using a custom ROM.

What do you guys recommend?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
With titanium backup, you can backup all your apps and the data and then when you go to a different rom or newer build tell it to rebackup only app s that have been updated or contain new data. Text messages can be backed up in it as well and its super simple to backup and restore them (depending on how many messages you, more messages longer it takes). As far as email settings ive never done that so i can't comment on that part.

The reason for this is that if you flash a new rom and something goes wrong you can still have that data to just simply restore. The reason i use titanium backup is because its a thousand times faster to restore all your apps with that then redownload them all.

Word of advise, NEVER restore system data, that could potentially cause issues in the future, restoring apps and app data for games and such should be fine though :)

But as far as nightlies go, a full wipe shouldn't be required everytime a new one comes out, unless stated otherwise, or for myself i don't like to flash more than 3 or 4 nightlies on top of eachother so by the 4th or 5th one i do a fresh install, in which i backup apps and messages and restore them.

I hope that helps you understand a little better :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] t0adman:
Yes, definitely! Thank you. I'm seeing the option to backup all user apps, all system data, a combo of both, and several other scenarios. Last time I backed up just user apps and when I restored them I lost all my text messages. Is there a setting I need to select?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
i can't remember if you need the pro version or not but for text messages and call logs, when you first enter the app hit the menu button and it should be under "backup data to xml" you'll click that and then choose what data you want to backup. From there you can either backup to your sd card, or i believe dropbox/google drive, but i always put it on the sdcard since its not a very big file :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
nonono, there's an easier way to do what he wants.

@ OP, choose the option to backup all user apps... run it... there's one backup. Then, go into backup system apps, de-select all, then scroll through and find Call Log and Messages and check those... run the backup of those two items. Then you'll have all your user apps + texts and call logs.

Now you can do a factory wipe, run TiBu and restore ALL backups that you have (you only have user apps and the two items from system) and you will have everything except various system settings back as they were.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sycobob:
You can use filters to make it even easier. Make a new filter, only add the apps you want backed up (downloaded apps and the call log). Then all you have to do is backup and restore one list.

You can get fancy with it too. I have 3 filters. One for user apps I won't need to restore data to, one for use apps I want to be able to restore data to, and one for bloat that always gets bulk uninstalled immediately (I also use this list to test if system apps are removable by backing them up, uninstalling them, then if no problems arise I delete the back up). When ever I do a full wipe I just restore the first list (apps only), restore the second list (apps + data), and bulk uninstall everything on the third list. Takes all of 5 minutes and it's like I never wiped at all.

That said, I just dirty flash nightlies. Until I have a problem, there's no reason to do a full wipe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
Oh Yeh, I forgot about the filters, I haven't messed with them much at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] toddley:
Go backup is also quite good as an alternative. Less customization but very simple to use
[Nexus 7 General] leandroqm:
Just a warning to everybody: Use your Nexus 7 some sort of protection at all times!

I have a Motorola Xoom and a Galaxy Nexus since they were released and never had a single scratch on both.

Now I own a Nexus 7 for less than a month and it has cracked the screen dropping from the height of one open hand...

I have no idea what to do with a cracked screen Nexus 7... it am using it with a mouse with usb OTG support, but that's far from desirable :/

The worst part is that I live in Brazil and will have to figure out what to do about it away from the stores... :/

(Any idea is welcome, btw)

TL;DL:

Take GREAT care of your Nexus7 or it will crack the screen!
[Nexus 7 General] Jdbye:
According to this article, even Gorilla Glass screens will crack easily if they fall on the right spot, regardless of the device: https://www.xda-developers.com/xda-tv-2/truth-about-gorilla-glass-drops-tests-composition-xda-developer-tv/. Dropping any handheld device is never a good idea, but especially heavier devices like tablets and laptops.

It's only the glass on the front that's cracked and not the LCD screen itself, right? You should be able to replace the glass without too much effort, I've seen replacement glass panels for a lot of other devices, the Nexus 7 is so new I don't think replacement parts for it are easy to find yet, though.

I assume the touchscreen no longer works since you say you're using a mouse, so most likely the touchscreen module is cracked as well. You can replace those as well but may have to wait a while for replacement parts to become available on eBay and such.

It should not cost you a lot in replacement parts but it may be tricky to replace. Certainly better than paying for professional repair though.
[Nexus 7 General] drdeathley:
Same here mine fell 2feet onto a carpeted floor and it was in a sturdy leather case. Now I have 2 cracks running from opposite corners so having to use a mouse. Lucky it's insured through my bank so it should be no problem getting it fixed or replaced.

I just read an article that said the N7 does not use Gorilla Glass. Hopefully this is not the cause of the seemingly easy to break screen.

It seems the monkey glass is sealed to the display:

I read somewhere the display is thinner and lighter because of touch and display have no air beetween..

Do maybe some screens have tension because of the new way of production ?
[Nexus 7 General] veeman:
You have to replace the whole display because the glass front is fused to the display. That makes it thinner but more expensive to replace.

I ended up with a Nexus7 because my Transformer TF300 tablet LCD cracked. Sold it on eBay and bought the Nexus. I didn't drop it or anything... just started happening.

Good luck everyone! lol
[Nexus 7 General] jtrosky:
Now that makes sense, especially since Google never specifically mentions the word "Gorilla" anywhere in the specs - just "Scratch-resistant Corning glass" - so it's not Gorilla glass... Shouldn't come as a major surprise though, they had to keep costs down in order to sell these things for only $200!
[Nexus 7 General] hb-kevin:
The way glass on tablets and smart phones work is like this:

Harder glass is more scratch resistant but cracks more easily,

Softer glass scratches very easily but is more resistant to shock and impact.

Supposedly Gorilla Glass 3 is supposed to be very hard but also flexible in order to absorb shock.
[Nexus 7 General] pxlitup:
Did you check the left side of your display for separation? That's a common flaw which could explain why your glass cracked from such a minor impact.

To see if the left side of your screen was lifting, hold the device with the right side facing you. Look across the display and use the left bezel as a silver horizon line. If the black display is higher at any point, you'll be able to see it interrupt that silver line.

Here is an example of a perfectly flush display, looking across the device from the right side.
[Nexus 7 General] neotekz:
The screen doesn't crack easily. Op you just got unlucky with yours. No nexus device have gorilla glass, but that's just a trademark branding. The glass on the nexus is chemically tempered and is similiar to gorilla glass. It can still fail from a short drop if it hits in the right spot, this is at the edge where all glass is weakest. Notice how in those impact demos on YouTube they never hit near the edge always at the center. Just search broke gorilla glass on xda and you will see lots of threads about people breaking their screen with a one or two feet drop and its always on a corner or edge.
[Nexus 7 General] Mwinggg:
the bigger the glass the easier to crack no?
[Nexus 7 General] tezoide:
You're not alone...

The same happened to me. I dropped it from about 20cm and the screen cracked quite badly. I was thinking of sending it to ASUS for repair, but it seems the repair cost is quite high (they charge 60 euros only to have a look at it). Some people on the web say that ASUS wants about 160 dollars for a full repair, since the screen and digitizer are "glued" together. I looked everywhere for a replacement screen, but I couldn't find one. This is still a new device. Anyway, after a frustrating time I decided to sell my Nexus on ebay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120976824...LX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_500wt_1288

I just don't know what to do next:

1. Get another one and keep it in a cushioned safe with anti-gravity technology?

2. Wait for the Nexus 10?

3. ipad mini? :eek:

4. Forget about it and get a life?
[Nexus 7 General] ProphetD:
Apple products do tend to get cracked sreens really easy too though
[Nexus 7 General] Hexdecimal:
It's a general consensus at this point, where if it has a glass screen, Gorilla, Corning, or other, take care of it. It is glass after all, not shatter-proof polycarbonate.
[Nexus 7 General] Toast95135:
For drop prone people the Gumdrop cases can't come soon enough lol. I've only dropped a tablet once *knock on wood*, my TF101 from a few feet onto carpet.
[Nexus 7 General] Tennoh:
Mine cracked spectacularly from normal use. Holding in left hand, thumb the glass from left bezel and boom, cracked just from thumb pressure. I can't explain other than my N7 has screen lift issue where I hold it. In fact, the crack fractured in a semi circle from where my thumb would be holding it. I'm currently arguing with ASUS repair support on whether this crack is under warranty from manufacturing defect, the screen lift, or charged repair for customer damage which imo it shouldn't be.

My At&t Samsung Galaxy S3 automatically picks up incoming calls and enables the speaker while it's sitting on my desk. I will have the phone on silent, and all of a sudden at 7:00 in morning, I hear a telemarketer saying "HELLO?, HELLO?"...I know this sounds strange, because I have only read about a handful of people with this issue, but it is a valid issue that needs to be resolved... Hopefully with your help.

I am not new to smartphones or Android, so I tried whatever you can imagine. I know that Android has a few auto-answer features available, so I made sure all of the settings that have to with automatically answering calls are disabled.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tlo218:
Not only saying "answer" but most background noise will pick up an incoming call. It's pretty sensitive and there's lots of background noise that could actually "answer" the phone and cause it to pick up/connect. Nice feature, but it's too sensitive for my liking. Had to disable it even though I frequently used it for the camera app. (saying cheese, or shoot will take pictures)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hacknet07:
Yeah, that was my problem. I didn't say answer or anything like it, and it would just pick up the call. The shoot feature can still be enabled without enabling the answer option, I use it quite often. Thanks

What my settings are:

From the Phone Settings menu: Call Settings - Accessory Settings for Call:

Automatic Answering IS selected (“Only operates with a connected headset)

Problem is the phone is answering when NO headset (wired or bluetooth) is connected (bluetooth is off).

When I turn off the settings the phone does not answer automatically - However, when I'm driving I like using a wired headset and the autoanswer feature works great then. Just wne I unplug the headset the phone continues with auto answer.

Something that may be related - I have a PayPal credit card reader. It does not work with the phone. I called PayPal tech support to sleuth out the problem and they thought the read was faulty, sent me another, and I have the same result: phone does not recognize the device. My wifes phone is the same Samsung SIII and that headset jack does not work correctly with the reader.

However, the Square D reader does work.

Trying to get my phone ready for service and I'm wondering if I flash back to stock via Odin, do I still have to root, run Triangle Away, then unroot? Or does stock not trip the flash counter? Thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
One click Odin? doesn't trip the counter.

PC Odin does..

And depends on what you mean by stock.. If you use the ek02 one click, no, you will not have root, and you can either OTA all the way back up to official release or now, use Kies..

If you're worried about trace files or folders - format your phone via pc (as an attached storage) or (after you one click back to ek02) do a factory rest and format usb storage..

Forgot to mention - If you one click el29, it wont matter if it's rooted because if you choose the OTA update, you'll lose root.. then you'll have to remove superuser and a couple of files.. Several threads on how to get that done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Stock will not trip the binary counter and give you the triangle. So if your count is zero right now just Odin the FH13 tar from sextape. That will wipe data and take you completely stock. If your counter is not zero run triangle away then Odin the Rom.
