[HTC One X] DJouneyt:
Actually, I cutted the peeled edges shown in the first and last picture with a blade, a couple of months after the application. There is not any difference in comparison with the original body surface.

By the way, I have just contacted with Phantom Skinz CR by the Live Chat, and the representative declared that the screen protectors for HTC One X cover the whole screen, just as the HTC Sensation.

Screen protector size of Phantom Skinz would be okay I think but the body cover would suck again after the application because it is unibody designed as the one for Sensation. I have not tried SGP, their body cover design is different from Phantom Skinz' and SGP screen protector does not cover the whole screen. Hard to decide :confused:

The SGP oleo screen protectors may not cover the entire screen but its hardly noticeable.

Hey guys i think that I bricked this thing :(. It is rooted, and I wasn't doing anything to it, and all of a sudden one day, it turned itself off. I went to turn it on, and it got stuck in a bootloop. I flashed a new rom to fix it, and it worked fine, but I flashed a different modem (kf4 i believe?) and It's supposed to be kd1 I think. Anyway, I can't even get into recovery mode at this point, or even download mode. The only think that comes up is "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" Whenever I connect it to kies it just hangs on "connecting" please any help appreciated thank you so much. :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
There should be threads and/or wiki pages on how to get into download mode.

You'll probably want the one-click back-to-stock

Depending on what ROM you flashed, you may need the Google USB drivers if you are on Windows.

That is also a download mode. You can use heimdall to one-click back to stock. Click on the purple link in my signature and follow the directions.

Hey guys thanks for the replies, but I can't get into download mode. the only thing i can do is see this screen :(

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpeet:
Hello all,

I have a question that has not been answered after many hours of searching. Hopefully I'm just dumb, and my buddy's stock firmware and data isn't hosed. I'm trying to get his stock firmware running again so I can back it up safely.

What I've done:

Tried to flash CWM's update.zip via stock recovery (signature verification failed on the three different zip's I could find in the forums and various links)

Used Heimdall to push "cmenard-T959-CWM" zImage (this worked, and I get a different screen at boot)

The phone boots to the point of the T-Mobile splash screen with the annoying shriek sound, but goes to a black screen after. If i touch any of the soft buttons, they light up and remain lit. It'll stay like that for at least 20 minutes.

Is it possible to re-flash the system partition and not the data partitions using ODIN? Is that even feasible? Like I mentioned above, I'd like to get the stock firmware running such that I can make a good backup of it with all the user data intact. I haven't been able to because the CWM+root wouldn't flash.

Any suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance! :)

Well as long as you don't format the internal SD, any pictures and videos and things should remain intact.

Here is a similar thread. See if it resembles your issue.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpeet:
Thanks for the suggestion, Toast. I don't believe the internal SD has been messed with, and I don't plan to mess with it either. The thread you linked is not quite related to my issue, as far as I can tell.

I am able to get into Download Mode, and the Stock Recovery mode as well. However every time I try to flash an 'update.zip' with the Stock Recovery, I get an error about Signature Verification Failure.

After stepping back from it for a day, I think I've gained some clarity. Since all I've done is flash a different Kernel with Heimdall, I'm going to try to flash a stock kernel then see what happens.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
Is this phone on stock Froyo or have you got it back to JFD (eclair)?

If Froyo, that's the problem. Using Odin back to Eclair and run update.zip. It won't work from stock Froyo.

*-*- I made some assumptions in my previous post. The shrieking sound. Black screen. Lights stay lit. Sounded like a poltergeist.

Glad you can get in download mode and recovery.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
The old 2E vs 3E problem. Nice catch Toast

Give this a whirl: recovery 3e modified to work like recovery 2e

Might have to ABD push it to your internal SD card though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpeet:
hahaha poltergeist!

Wow, so I'm glad I asked. I wouldn't have known about this issue, as I do not have any history with this device.

I know that the ROM is currently 2.2, and the Android System Recovery is showing "3e".

If I understand correctly, once I'm ready to flash up to ICS, I'll need to ODIN back to 2.1 to get Android System Recovery "2e", which will let me flash 'update.zip' packages freely. Then I flash an 'update.zip' to get CWM, then flash CM7, then CM9 (and CM9 is my intended destination).

The things mentioned in the thread you linked do appear to apply to my situation.

However I still want to get the stock OS booted and working, then do a Nandroid backup of it. (it's the computer tech/security pro in me. Since I'm new to this device, I -tried- to read up on everything first, and didn't want to make a change without being sure it would work.)

Does anyone happen to know if flashing a stock kernel over the 'cmenard' kernel will harm anything, and hopefully get a successful boot? Again, I'm trying to get the stock ROM booting again in order to verify I have everything I need off of it, then do a nandroid backup. Flashing to CM9 will come afterwards.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Ok, here are some things for you.

Here is a kernel pack that you can use. Read the OP because there are Froyo AND Gingerbread kernels in there.

[KERNELS] Moped_Ryder SGS Kernel Pack v2 [20+ Froyo/GB Kernels]

I really suggest using something like BaliX 1.2 or BaliUV kernels to make your back up. They are smooth, fast and OC/UV-able. To flash just Wipe /cache, /dalvik -> flash kernel -> Wipe /cache, /dalvik (I also fix permissions too bc that is the way that I learned and I just do it that way all the time). Reboot and Bam!! you should be able to get to the point that you can make a backup.

Look in my signature, there are downloads and flashables that are direct download linked. There is also an ICS install guide that can help your journey. Once you have your backup, then use Odin from the Toolbox in my signature and flash back to stock JFD. From there you will be able to follow my guide.

If you need any files, just let me know and I will upload them when I get home (won't be until late though, i have plans right after work).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashiksiles:
Using HB, can I choose any theme? I am not so acquainted with the Theme chooser and boot animation of my phone. I flashed a boot animation zip yesterday and it was stuck in "ANDROID" screen. So I have to flash again. I never used any boot animation and themes in my phone yet. I want to know about them.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Wrong thread. Put that question in the Jelly Bean Banter thread. No need to hijack this thread until we get OP up and running.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpeet:
Ugh, so I've been on vacation for a while, and since being back I've been super freaking busy =(

Finally spent some time with the phone tonight. Took some fiddling to get the right drivers working for the phone on my Win7x64 laptop.

In any case, I checked out that Kernel thread, and extracted the Bali kernel. Since I had flashed successfully(?) with Heimdall at first, and I'm becoming more familiar with it, I used it to flash the Bali_1.8.8-zImage. That appeared to work, as I get a new boot screen/animation with the Bali logo.

However, after the Bali logo disappears, the T-Mobile animation+sound plays, and then gives me a black screen. The screen is on (backlight is on) but all black. Also, if I touch a soft-button, they'll light up and the phone will remain in that state for as long as I can stand to wait. (one episode of Archer)

So, it's doing the same thing as before, but with a new boot logo/animation.

I wonder if something else in the ROM has been messed up? Should I forget trying to save it, and just use ODIN to flash a whole new rom/kernel package? I'll talk to the owner tomorrow and see if he's now willing to do that.

I also wonder if I was wrong to use Heimdall again, instead of using the CWM method. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think those two methods end up doing the exact same thing. Is one method more reliable than the other?

Bah, this sucks; I have more questions than answers at this point =( Any ideas, Woodrube, Toast?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keywar18:
Wrong they are not the same. cwm can do the work without a PC beside you can erase, back up , restore and flash, which make our life easier, heimdall or Odin ," I prefer odin "are the last option when you can't fix it with cwm

To fix your phone use Odin or heimdall and go back to stock don't worry all your files, photo, music, will be safe. Then

1 get root on you , if you don't how ask

2 get cWm

3 do a nandroid back up

4 have fun flashing all roms you want :) lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
Yeah, I would just Odin back to stock JFD w/ repartition checked...

Then I'd flash something real stable for him. There are lots of stable ROMs to choose from. I used Bionix V for a long time before moving onto Jelly Bean.

Since the phone belongs to someone else, I'd stick with something lower than JB though. 911 can have/has issues.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] XDAKhan:
There's a thriving community creating apps for Android.

All Android users have, most certainly, a modicum of DVDs.

Most probably, the contents industry would love for the DVD to die quietly (...followed, in the future, by BlueRay...) in order to market whatever new support they might think of.

However, their interests are not necessarily our interests, so this begs the question:

Why hasn't anyone turned their attention to an app that would allow for a portable USB DVD player to be connected to USB-enabled Android tablets?

Is it a driver problem?...My DSLR Controller app immediately recognizes my Canon 1DMKIV the moment it is connected to the 7.7, so creating drivers for Android must surely not be a problem.

I would gladly pay up to 35 or even 50$ for an app that would allow me to see my DVDs (...or even bettter, BlueRay discs...) directly from a player via USB, instead of having to fastidiously rip them into a supported format.

Any ideas?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] XDAKhan:
Good solution. I especially like the network side of it.

Still, it is a bit bulky and only deals with DVDs. If BlueRay capability is to be added, then there will be 3 items to carry around...not very practical.

If this player has "AV connectivity", as specified and only an USB 2.0 output, certainly an app can be developed allowing for displaying of video content in Android, right?

CM10. I can't for the life of me figure out how to theme these blue parts in the Contacts.apk without the Phone app FCing. Everytime I edit anything in the colors.xml for the Contacts.apk the Phone app FC's. I've edited other app xml's just fine with no fc's. I've managed to successfully change the blue parts in this picture to red by editing this line in colors.xml <color name="people_app_theme_color">#ff33b5e5</color> but whenever I do that, like I said, the Phone app FC's and I have to change it back. I'm trying to change the #ff33b5e5 which is blue to #ffcc0000 which is red. It's the only part of my theme I haven't been able to fix. Can someone with the know-how PLEASE help me.

That happened when I tried to theme the Facebook app but I put it in System/app and it worked but when I put Swiftkey 3 in System/app it just fc's. I know its not because of the 9.png's because I themed them correctly. I'm wondering if its maybe because its a paid app that I purchased?

It could be that the app developer has it set not to work if decompiled. Hand cent is that way (and pisses me off as I am stuck with bob issues due to their lazy theming lmao.) I have edited a few apps and have no issues. Like tapatalk and what not. But some just won't work.

I have not tries editing the calendar apk but I have done a few others like gmail and that needs to be signed. Contacts doesn't so i don't think calendar does either.

As for the messaging. If you want it to be transparent you can edit the manifest XML and change the theme to theme
