I have several scratches on my phone. Shatter resistant, but I feel like the older gorilla glass was more resistant. Scratches come in groups though, must have had two different days with something bad in my pocket...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fckingtrippy:
Hey there, first post of the forum but long time follower. i was running paranoid android on my phone (new JB update with butter) and i got stuck when one day while using it, it fell into the notorious boot loop. it wouldnt enter download mode either so i ended up buying a jig that came in the mail today.....and now the phone will go into download mode for 3 seconds and loop over and over.....

please i really need this phone, if theres any way around it, it needs to be posted in this thread ASAP

TY :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xxxSuperserieSxxx:
If you pull out the battery and put it back did the phone automatically turn on by itself then keep rebooting?

Did you try 3 combo buttons to enter recovery vol up+dn and power then release power button but keep holding vol up+dn to enter recovery mod.

If the phone still keep bootlooping then it something wrong with Power button and may you need to replace that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fckingtrippy:
yup turns on by itself and reboots constantly. 3 combo for recovery dont work.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xxxSuperserieSxxx:
Then something wrong with your Power buttons hardware need replacement for that.

:victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory:

so its not bricked :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
doesn't sound bricked but it could be tricky to fix. first you have to isolate any hardware problem with the volume or power buttons. maybe pull it apart and clean it. if the usb port is intact it should be salvageable.

one question.... would you sell it? i can always use a backup.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Sounds like power button...but like.dani said...you are not yet in the clear :/

But here's what worked for others:

Rapidly pressing/mashing power button

Taken it apart and blowing the power button area with air compressor

Paying $30 and sending it into some company to fix it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EXPERIMENT:
I can help you. PM me tomorrow and I'll walk you thru it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] adfurgerson:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] EXPERIMENT:
Don't take it apart! Geez qk, lol.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xxxSuperserieSxxx:
Did his infuse fixed?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EXPERIMENT:
We talked in PM but we have yet to get our meeting to fix it. I get the impression he's not in that big of a hurry...I don't know.

Maybe I'll just do a tutorial video to explain the steps...when I get some freetime.

If there is anyone else experiencing this issue you may PM me and I can try to help you if you'd like.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xxxSuperserieSxxx:
Highly appreciate sir if we have video tutorial I owned 3 infuses (me wife and son) my son's phone has this problem i talk to technician and he told it was power button hardware need replacement so I send it to their shop via usps and waiting for shipment back.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] irish.iolar:
What exactly does the 'jig' do? Cause my infuse won't go into DL mode either
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EXPERIMENT:
OK. I'll try to get one done. Have a lot on my plate currently, plus my wife just got in an accident this morning so thats got me a little preoccupied. But as soon as I can I'll do one.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Pony Express:
All the best wishes for your wife... all else can wait. :)

Regards.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EXPERIMENT:
Thank you, yeah everyone is fine. It could have been really bad. Almost a head on at 50mph. Some douche swerved into her lane and his mirror clipped her driver side window busting it out and breaking our mirror. Then when she pulled over, he just kept on going...

Pretty lame. But fortunately everyone is safe. She had 3 of our kids with her.

Recovery Bootloop Fix

Alright well I don't know if this issue ever got resolved, we did speak but only once in PM but no follow up.

So I was going to make a video of the steps I took the first time I experienced this, where the install failed, phone would reboot back into recovering then the Android guy would fall over and it would reboot again back into recovery and repeating the process infinitely.

So the video I was gonna make explained some pretty indepth steps I took...and I have to admit I haven't wanted to make the vid because I didn't want to go thru the process again especially since I've been working on themes and wanted my phone up and running.

So. Here is something for you to try if you ever run into this problem

( I just had it happen again, and discovered this right before setting up the camera to do the before avoided video, lol )

Anyway it worked for me.

When it starts to recovery bootloop, 3 finger hold (power, vol up, vol down) keep holding while Samsung appears.

Continue to hold, Samsung will disappear, then when it reappears a second time release the buttons and you should enter recovery without a bootloop.

Then flash a different rom than the one that obviously gave you a bad flash.

Hope that helps some of you :D

Having the Same Problem

So I am having the same problem, i know your busy so no rush on the reply. I made myself a jig it works just great with the exception that I can only stay in download about 3 seconds. I tried the 3 button hold through the first logo and release when you see it the second time that did not work as well. I don't know what else to do here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PM'd you.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AayushPathak:
I'm not a very experienced dev but lately I've been doing some theming and boot animations with a kitchen......

Just one question I'm not able to seek a solution is that : Is the framework-res.apk different for different ROM's??? Because I've found that the themes not working in some ROM's

Please help
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jason-EX:
framework-res.apk are different in every firmware e.g. Froyo (2.2) and Eclair (2.1) has samsung's touchwiz frameworks, but they're both based on different firmware versions, so it'll be a bit different inside the framework, but the theme and UI are still similar. Almost every custom (froyo) ROM has its own theme, but it is still based on the same firmware, only some changes in the XML and the 'drawables'. Plus, you can install other themes in the same firmware version that it is based on, but if you install a Gingerbread based framework-res.apk on Froyo, you'll end up with a bootloop.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MexPwrEng:
I am hoping someone can help me here. I updated the current radio per this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1704612

However, I still have a software update that is a version older that keeps popping up. How do I get rid of this? I am pretty sure I followed the correct steps but maybe I missed something.

Recovery: TWRP 2.2.2.0

Custom ROM: MeanROM ICS v3.9

I installed the Full Firmware Zip.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
If you are hboot 1.12 just flash the radio from recovery
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MexPwrEng:
I just tried with TWRP but I get an error, unable to open zip file and a Failed on screen.

It will, however, flash through HBOOT but I still get the software update pop up
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
go into settings/apps scroll down till (i beleive its called updater) click on it and click clear cache...then go back into settings, scroll down to system updates, and uncheck, scheduled update check. then the message should go away.

Thank you bog3nator. That did the trick. :good:
[Transformer TF300T General] lightiv:
I was so happy when I got my TF300T back in June but within 60 days it had went bad . Randomly when waking up it woud show the batteries in the pad and the dock were completely empty when they were 80 to 90 percent charged and the touchpad wouldn't work. I sent it in for RMA work and supposedly they put in new parts. I have had it back for less than thirty days and it is doing the same thing. What a shame as i love my pad.
[Transformer TF300T General] Spark1223:
I first read the title I swear I thought for a second you bought a yellow pad. Where did you buy it? If nothing else Asus will honor the warrenty dude.
[Transformer TF300T General] Turbojugend:
It sucks for sure, but no electronic device is perfect. All devices have a defective ratio when they mass produce products, it sucks that you got a bad one :(
[Transformer TF300T General] paedz718:
Had mine rma'd because my Jelly Bean update went bad. Running nice since then, think I needed a re flash of the stock ROM. Once I got it back and upgraded, been super smooth, more than the original out of the box
[Transformer TF300T General] lightiv:
Back From 2nd RMA

Ok, I got my Pad back from the 2nd RMA this past Thursday. Everything seems to be working great so far. They replaced more parts inside. I hope this thing is golden now. They did pay for shipping this time which stops the bleeding from my wallet.
[Transformer TF300T General] dsf3g:
I think ASUS cut a lot of QC corners to get the TF300 out the door for such a low price. I got two bad units. Mine's fine now, but that's only after one return and one RMA.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Zuul86:
I was trying to flash the latest CWM recovery using the method from this post by nba1341.

Easiest way to install the latest CWM to internal memory (FOR 16GB USERS! Untested on 8gb):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1640958&page=7

The command was successful but when I tried to Boot into internal emmc recovery using cyanoboot it didn't work. Then I normally booted into CM7 and did a reboot in the recovery from the power button menu.

That's when I got stuck at the silver n screen. I've tried booting from my recovery SD card by holding down the power + "n" key with the USB plugged in. I've remade the recovery card several times. I've used different cards. I'm kind of stuck as to what to do.

Does anyone know any other way I can recover my nook tablet?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
usually boot from sd is done by having the NT off with the sdcard inside, and then plugging in the usb cable and it should boot from sd.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Zuul86:
I did that several times. Nothing happens.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
I got my first nook stuck at the same screen. Silver n, fades to black but the backlight stays on. I never did figure out how to fix it and ended up getting it warranty replaced. It wouldn't boot, so they couldn't see if there was any alternate files on there.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
You can try to make a bootable CM7 SD card and see if you can boot into it. Power on from completely off state, with the power cable attached.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Zuul86:
RESOLVED

I figured out my issue. I was using my phone as a microSD writer. I got a usb card reader to create my SD card and was able to boot off of the SD card. Thanks for everyone's help.

I tried to flash the Stock 512 PIT and my phone is now comepletely bricked... There goes the 150 I was gonna sell it for...
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Dino, did you only flash the 512 pit? 512 only works in combination with the JFD .tar. So in pit section you put the pit file, next in the pda area you put the JFD tar file which is the full stock image, and then start odin. Try to get back in DL mode and try again. Also unselect auto reboot and check repartition. After it completes, then hold the power button for > 5 seconds
[Vibrant Android Development] DinoSoup:
Yes... but I did figure that out and fix it. Silly mistake, sorry. :rolleyes:

Maybe I'll post something in the OP that this is just a download thread and that the directions on how to use them are out "there".

This weekend I will try to link all the downloads to their respective threads. That may help with any unforseen issues creeping up like above.

Anyways, Dino. Glad you made it out alive.

[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:
Are my links down? I check them periodically to be sure. I know they are not the fastest, but they should still be working. Thanks for posting some mirrors though.
[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:
So yesterday I was downloading something for my Nexus5 while on my Nexus 7 (2013) that was hosted on Dev-Host (DH). As you may or may not have known, DH has implemented some sort of partnership with an ad service that wants to install an apk before you are able to hit the Download link in the center of the page. If you are on a browser like Dolphin, it will open another screen and you can deny/cancel then. But if you are on other browsers (I have multiple installed for various functionalities), it will auto-install. This has been happening for a few months now and several Users and Developers have emailed and PM'd the DH owners. XDA has reached out as well to no avail.

As I was saying, yesterday I was downloading something to my N7 and the pop up came as expected. I hit Cancel like usual, only this time it redirected my browser to another page. It said I had a Virus and that I needed to push OK to run the scan. Well, we all know how malware works and their reliance on you pushing OK. I backed out of it and closed the tab. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to know what happened. So I tried again, only this time I captured the screenshots (I'll upload later on) and the URL. I put the URL into Wheregoes.com and it was a redirect with 4 children to trkthatpaper.org. This didn't sit well with me and I instantly put Airplane mode on and ran a full virus scan on my tablet. After a bit of panic and research, I concluded that my tablet was clean.

After the past few months and last night's fiasco, I cannot in safe conscience host any of my works on Dev-Host any longer. It is to the point where I will be taking the links down in the OP and going to a public computer to delete them and my account on Dev-Host. Yes, I feel that strongly about this that I am 1) Using a Public Computer to log in and delete my works and 2) I am having my account dissolved if possible (if not, it will die on its own from being unused and stale).

I have everything in my OP still on my HDD, so if anyone wants anything, please feel free to PM me and I'll upload it to a more reputable host or you can find many of the files in [MENTION=4113493]N00B_IN_N33D[/MENTION]'s [REF] The Official XDA Vibrant Bible Thread -ROMS/KERNELS/MODEMS/MODS/ETC- 12/29/13 . Most of the works in both our threads are outdated, however sometimes you need to start from scratch and trying to find the files to do so can prove to be a struggle.

I am unsticking this thread and pulling my links, but as I said above, if you need any of them please let me know.

Thank you for understanding and be safe out there.

I'm gonna push back wayyyy to froyo stock or stock gingerbread and try to make it stable as possible wish me luck

Anyways any tips helpers are welcome hopefully devs like blue6ix wildchild kornyone :) besties: weeekend and agentcherrycolla

Any suggestions and ideas?

I'm just doing this to learn and maybe get a wicked crazy idea on making an awesome rom
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
Start with a stock rom and optimize it with some scripts *cough*V6 supercharger*cough*. Good luck :).

Feeling lucky? Try an ICS port based off CM9 from the sensation.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Crimedave....it looks like you now have a directive on how to get started developing some skills. You couldn't be getting the right suggestions from anyone better either. You GO dude!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Stock Sense ROMS are the easiest to get built into a bootable ROM using the dsixda kitchen. But it will be bone stock with the options you add, everything else will be behind the scenes, decompiling apks and changing values to make to UI a bit faster, finding the right scripts to run, removing and moving apks around. You could also optimize the images inside the ROM to improve on performance. Build.prop tweaks are also a good thing to boost some perfomance and tweak some things out
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Stock gingerbread is a good place to start, because you have all that you need to experiment with a woking code base to begin with.

You know the stock rom runs. You have the kernel source to work with.

If it breaks (honestly, when it breaks) you will know it was something you did and be able to rewind your steps and fix it.

How much hard drive space do you have? Get more.

Proper versioning means saving all the raw files from each step - depending on what you are doing this could be a lot of replicated data. Invaluable when you don't realize a problem until several versions ahead when you try to troubleshoot it.

Don't get hung up on making a polished product from the start, juat dive in and get your hands dirty with it. Learn what the rules are, and just don't break them and have fun.

(rules = the very few ways to brick the device. Learn how, and these methods represent the only things to worry about avoiding at the start)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Riyal:
@Blue6IX

Speaking of new ROM... Are you considering updating your ROM to the latest firmware? I like your ROM very much in fact the only ROM I store are just bulletproof, MikXE & Virtuous Infinity. Problem with the current bulletproof is that the settings.apk doesn't have storage encryption support :( The latest doubleshot firmware already has that.

So... my question is can you update bulletproof to the latest firmware of doubleshot? Or at least port the latest settings.apk to your bulletproof ROM or at the very least modify settings.apk to add storage encryption support? Please.... :fingers-crossed:

I'm no professional smali coder to patch up the latest firmware with your mods so can't help but ask sorry :( I really like the tweaks app & the extended Advanced power menu on your ROM. But can't use it as a daily ROM due to the missing encryption feature.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Try to pull what's needed from MikTouch. That's the latest ota and I don't mind
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Riyal:
The big question is... Would that work? :D Anyways will try after I'm done of what I'm currently doing right now :good:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
You would be suprised what works. All the tweaks in MikXE are from the inc 2, SystemUI.apk and all. Mixing and matching apks with Sense has proved really easy
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Riyal:
Ok thanks for the tip! And I hope it's easy as mix matching on Xperia 2011 devices... I'll put extra effort on making all the custom ROMs I use as stable as I could for the sake of me. :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Yeah I used to use everything I touched. But not so much over here since there is so much great things going on. I change ROMS every couple of days and as long as I don't restore any data I'm good
