[HTC One X] swoxholt:
Hi,

I've got a HTC One x, which worked fine untill i flashed it with Cyanogenmod.

To start from the beginning.

I never liked the HTC Sense stuff to much, so i did with my HOX what ive done with all my other android phones. I unlocked it and installed Cyanogenmod. When i did that i started having stability problems, suddenly acore stoped, then gmail stoped and so on.

So i decided i wanted to try another rom, without much luck. After fidling around with it for a couple of days, it started behaving strangely.

Suddenly it could wouldnt turn on after beeing powered down, i had to leave it for days, then suddenly it would pop back on when left connected to a computer for a while.

I RUU'ed the phone, going back to HTC Sense, still giving me acore and other application errors. Then i installed a another ROM ( Jellybean ), and when i woke up one morning the phone was dead. It would not boot, not in normal mode, not into recovery, nothing. Ive tried all the tricks in the book, volum down + power, volume up&down + power, just power, just volum down and so on.

Ive been googling alot trying to figure out if the phone is beyond repair, or if there is any hope left. I noticed one day when fidling with it that when i connected to my windows 7 machine, the computer made a "USB CONNECTED sound". i looked in the device manager section, and there i see a unknown device called APX. I unplug the phone and it goes away, so i google and find that this is some low lever mode on the phone. My hopes are that this is a way of flashing some sanity back into the phone.

I found some APX drivers lying around on the net, and now it identitfies itself as "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices", not that this helps my in any way.

I read somewhere that you can use nvflash, but its not giving me much info.

Soooo....i have a phone which is pretty much dead, except for entering into APX mode ( the screen is black as if the phone is dead, no leds, no nothing ). Anyone have any smart ideas to how i can get the phone back to life ?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Nope. If you search this forum, the only APX advice I've seen is to drop the phone. Actually serious. (Don't do that)

Anyway, looks like you'll be returning it and hoping it gets fixed without them figuring out that you broke it.

Sorry as mediafire.com only allows upload 200MB per file, I need to take some time to split the files into multiple zip, please wait for about 15 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
You can root it on your own with superuser zip file. And busybox binary is not yet dropped into /sbin/ as I believe it comprise the system integrity back in GB kernel. Init.d will be supported in near feature. All the things that I changed is just inside the kernel and recovery and provide a safe envrionment for user to continue to flash their own desired kernel. Nothing more.

For kernel development, I will make a separate thread in dev section later.

Sorry I have to postpone the release as I have to repack everything with the nordic release (XXLQ9) now.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
Ok, I'm sure you know I asked just for general information. I supposed your answer yet :cool:

Anyway, I'm sure its a good job. With the new version (nordic) I suggest you to upload releases to dropbox our something easier. Anybody could make a mirror in other servers later :thumbup:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Okay after many hours of testing, I am happy to release the ICS XXLQ9 package with GB kernel and CWM 6 (based on the one posted by Adam77Root) that should be able to let you flash your own kernel after flashing it. Download links will be up shortly.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
So after 5~6 times of srs bricking, I finally get it working correctly after working overnight.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Ok I have released the ROM already, please try to use it if you know how to use the unbrick tool. This is because I want to ensure that the package can be flashed safely in Odin v3.x instead of v1.x series.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
well as a bit newbie i am confused with all tuts floating on XDA

what i intend to is

1. flash Stock ROM via ODIN 1.8

2. flash CWM 5.x via ODIN 1.8

3. Flash ardatdat kernel via CWM

4. Now only i will wipe data thru CWM...

is this ok ?? i am concerned with Austrian firmware currently..rooting is not possible in nordic ROM due to system partition space...

can this be dangerous ??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] nedooo:
Rooting Nordic ROM is quite easy, that is if you are on GB (if you are on ICS you will have zero free space in system space), so when you are on GB you need CWM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1839900 use CWM to wipe data and format system.

Flash Nordic ROM (Odin), than CWM, go to http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and download binary only (ARM), now use CWM to install SU binary.

You need SU app from Play Store and you are rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
Nice work! Thanks!

Sent from my GT-I9103
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Basically the things you mentioned above are included in the package / guide already. Tbh this should not be dangerous. But I want more people to test it first because last time when I released the GB kernel, a lot of people complained about the things that do not occur on my phone.

oh btw about the zero free space in system space, I believe it is just a bug in the filesystem. You can fix it easily by using e2fsck, which is actually included in my kernel script.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] nedooo:
This is just explanation about staying stock. Your work and effort is well above this. Thanks in name of all flash addicts ;)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
So after many times of tests, I guess it is safe to use the build already, just make sure you have everything backed up before updating (actually you should do this for any fimrnware update). If you have found any problem, just report the problem here. I will repack every stock firmware following the same method until Samsung acknowledge that the MMC_CAP_ERASE is removed from stock kernel.

If you have found your device bricked after using any ICS update (for example, unable to flash the device any more via odin protocol), please let me know via pm please so that I can guide you to fix your phone in IRC.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
When you are updating the ROM from GB to ICS better to wipe data or else you face some Force Closes and other issues....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
The wiping cache part is actually a part of odin download process. Everytime when you flash a new firmware in odin, the odin bootloader will invoke some scripts stored in /cache within recovery mode, and then wipe out these scripts / the whole partition as they are no longer needed.

However the wiping /data part is actually an essential part of firmware update and you should do it on your own if you are using CWM based firmware. This is because if you flash a firmware via odin, the data partition gets wiped after the device rebooted.

tbh it should be safe if you didn't wipe the /cache partition but not for the /data partition. Just some usls scripts and T9DB left behind in /cache. But incompatible binaries may still stays in /data if you didn't wipe it.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
Well m on leaked ics...n i forgt to mention it....

N intend to migrate with the steps i mentioned....

Imo it shld b safe !!

All these tuts posted out will require a lot time to understand....n i have time only on weekends...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] karthik050782:
I am gonna try this.. will get to you if i face any issue.. in between i am in pankaj deodexed and CWM6.. i always get an error in CWM as "E: unknown".. is it fine..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
well it occurs because of the unknown or invalid file system, and unless you post the recovery log in sdcard by navigating to advaned -> report error, otherwise I won't know the answer.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] karthik050782:
I flashed successfully ur rom and kernel.. Finally no lag in temple run... Gr8... I will see if still that pblm is exist... Thanks dude... U r amazing...

Edit: Antutu score 5459 behind of optimus 2x :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
For me this repack is unfortunately quite unstable. When I install some applications from unknown sources, 'Android system' ask for superuser permissions (I was like wtf when I saw this.) and if I grant it access, the runtime or the whole system crashes. If I deny access, it keeps asking while I don't grant it. After switching off and on the phone, all apps that was installed to /data gone away and aren't accessible (It's not safe mode.).

EDIT:

Now it's working well. I can install apps and the phone doesn't crash. +1 I noticed: Google Play gone away too. I attach last_kmsg.

I found the bug I think:

[ 2.900918] EXT4-fs error (device mmcblk0p6): ext4_lookup:1044: inode #2: comm init: deleted inode referenced: 32769

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] GeorgePB:
Followed your instructions to the letter, works like a charm. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] drarunmmc:
Is there any lag in games..

I want to follow this..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Thank you for reporting the problem, it seems like it is a problem related to the tweaking script I have included in my kernel.

The reason of adding that tweaking script is that, when you install the official ICS firmware (without modification) on Galaxy R, the system partition get locked up for accepting new system application as it says there is no more available free space for new apps in /system (for example, you need to install things into /system such as superuser). So in order to fix it, I have to use e2fsck on the partition such that the system partition get corrected to accept new applications, such as superuiser. And during the e2fsck (check disk) process, some of the files (inode) may get deleted due ton invalid checksum or something like that. But it should be fine to use the /system partition later such that you can replace the application back into /system again.

In addition to the e2fsck, I also added some lines to tune those ext4 partitions such that they can run faster (such as stop using journal data and reserving 5% of the partition for super user, i.e. root, which is actually useless for mobile platform as no applications is really using the superuser privilege for some super large files).
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Is anyone facing problems / issues / found bugs after installing ICS by following the steps given by UnknownzD ?

Kindly give your feedback on how's your experience as it's would help a lot of users. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
sorry for offtopic, Cooleagle Congrats for becoming Forum moderate.....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] karthik050782:
No issues... Installed using the steps... I believe unknownzd just repacked so there is no chance for emmc brick.. After flashing it, i flashed aradatdat kernel...

[Atrix 4G General] miyabiparty:
My Wifi and Bluetooth became unstable recently. So I decided to get my phone replaced. I tried several ways to remove the "unlocked" on the boot screen and finally found a working method. Below is how I made it.

1. First, flash to a rom older than 4.5.91. I used Dark Side 2.1.

2. Flash ATT 4.5.91 Rom with RSD Lite.

3. Reboot your phone. "Unlocked" disappeared!

This might be helpful for those who want to get their phone fixed by their carriers.
[Atrix 4G General] ServError:
This is not new information, and as you may have realized, your bootloader is not re-locked, only the text itself is gone. Please read over the stickies and other threads before posting a new thread, thanks.

Edit - Should have been more elaborate, but the people below me explained it well. Your eFuse is still burnt, but your current bootloader software isn't set to recognize it and unlock based on that fuse. If you flash the pudding bootloader, you'll see that it becomes unlocked immediately as soon as it is flashed, without fastboot oem unlock, because that fuse is now being recognized. Any user (or Motorola) with the proper tools can check the fuse state regardless of bootloader version. For warranty purposes, I've never heard of someone caring about checking the fuse, and some even let phones that still displayed "unlocked" pass through.
[Atrix 4G General] nerfman100:
Well, technically speaking, it is locked. You don't get any of the unlocked features, but the fuse doesn't change back.
[Atrix 4G General] DroidRunner:
Are there any pictures of this fuse that blows when you unlock? Why is the fuse there? Doesn't Motorola see the blown fuse when you send it in
[Atrix 4G General] nerfman100:
I have no idea. I'm not even sure if it's a physical fuse.
[Atrix 4G General] DroidRunner:
I deal with circuit boards a lot at my job, and fuses are there to protect shorts to ground and they are generally large compared to the rest is the board.

Dunno about phones though, whole other thing.
[Atrix 4G General] trogdan:
Atrix uses an eFUSE (or something like it) to protect the bootloader. It actually resides within one of the integrated circuits. No, it's not physically visible, short of using a microscope (25 nanometers). But I'm sure if Motorola actually cared they could probably hook up a software diagnostic tool, as the standard JTAG ports are probably blown out.

Above are 2 snapshots of an eFuse taken from the below paper

http://paris.utdallas.edu/ssiri08/Tonti_SSIRI_eFuse_V2.pdf

Motorola response to question about eFuse. Note they didn't confirm it has an eFuse specifically, but probably something like it since eFuse is a specific brand of the technology.by IBM.

https://motorola-global-portal.cust...378/~/atrix---bootloader-mode-(efuse)-rooted*

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFUSE
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Motorola can absolutely tell if you have unlocked your bootloader as soon as they get your phone on diagnostics. That's the first step in the repair process after a visual inspection. (Given the number of people we have seen who have returned phones with unlocked bootloaders, I think Motorola does not care about it per se. If you remember when you unlocked the text said "MAY" void your warranty). When you unlock your bootloader a tiny electrical pulse is sent to the efuse which burns it out. This is not a fuse in the general sense, but behaves as any fuse does and is supposed to. The fuse burns out to protect the circuit/system, only in this case the fuse breaks a physical connection on the circuit board which results in a bypass of the locking feature. I posted a white paper and other information about this many months ago. I would link it if I could find the thread again, but I could not.

Looking to upgrade my work appearance a bit, and I'm thinking a watch will be a nice accessory to add. I haven't worn a watch in about 10ish years. I would prefer the bracelet style band, as opposed to the strap style band. Looked a bit into the Citizen watches, and I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. Suggestions are appreciated, pictures/links with them even better, while keeping it reasonably priced (thinking around $200 or less).
[Off-topic] Archer:
I like the Sekonda One range. They're not pricey at all and have a good, sturdy look and feel to them, and there's plenty to chose from. It depends how much you want to spend, obviously. I'm guessing since you suggested Citizen you want to spend more than they're worth, but have a look anyway. They're a good range.

Whatever you do, but from a reputable shop or site. The only thing worse than buying a fake watch is buying an iMobile.
[Off-topic] Jaxp3r:
When you say that bolded part, do you mean that Citizen watches aren't worth what they sell for or that Sekonda One watches aren't worth as much?

Also, thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into those as well.
[Off-topic] Archer:
Heh - that wasn't clear was it :p

I meant the Sekonda watches aren't as much as Citizen watches. Citizen watches are a league up from Sekonda watches.

Edit: I've had 2 watches out of that range. Some of them really are fugly, but this was one of the ones I've had.
