Hey Moe92,

I'm pretty much in the same situation as you!

I was given a phone to fix that has water damage, the owner disclosed that up front and I can see this based on the moisture sensor on the device.

The phone boots up and is stuck on the splash screen with out any activity after this. This is the same screen that I see when trying to enter recovery.

The only thing the phone can do is go into fastboot and hboot. Let me make a list of all the activities I have tried to perform and what ended up happening. As of now I still cannot fix the phone.

Device Details in Hboot

ESPRESSO PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.02.0002
MICROP-0620
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0102
RADIO-7.15.35.16
Dec 13 2001,11:34:01

The items I've performed so far are:

* Downloaded two different versions of ESPRIMG.zip and placed them on the SDCARD for the device. Neither loads up by the device and they both fail.

The MD5 hash for each version is: 892b885010563208edc3037dfec40425 and 9e80d53b4afa73ecf0d58f703831ac82

* Created a goldcard and tried to run the above two files with the same result.

* Tried to enter recovery from the device; ends up on the boot splash screen and hangs

* Tried to use fastboot to flash several recovery images: Clockwork 2.5.0.7, recovery-RA-Saphire-v1.7.0, recovery.img from the ESPRIMG.zip files

* Each time fastboot flashes the recovery sucessfully, but trying to get to it ends up with a boot splash screen hang.

I'm starting to believe the phone is bricked, or something occurred internally when it became wet. I have no idea what the software was on it prior to it being wet.

From your experience does this phone have any luck of being restored? I've spent two days looking over the threads and trying to avoid asking a question that may be answered; but have had no success.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moe92:
Actually sometimes and this rarely happens... I can load into the welcome screen but everythine that happens, the phone is in safe mode. When I power down the phone it goes back to the splash screen and hangs there. I have to keep flashing the Tom many many time and pray that it gets into the welcome screen again.

BTW I can unlock the bootloader. Does anyone know what I can do after I unlock the boot loader?. I tried to flash zips via fadtboot but got the error where it cannot determine the signature. When unlocking the hboot, are there specific things I can do via fastboot? Please let me know. Thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustbyter:
I have also unlocked the bootloader by using the token provided by htcdev.

What zip did you try to flash to yours? I haven't tried that from fastboot yet. I only tried to flash each component of the ESPRIMG using fastboot with out any luck.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustbyter:
Moe,

Do you have any information on how to boot the device into safe mode?

I tried to use fastboot to flash an update.zip but that method did not work either :crying:
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustbyter:
Does anyone have access to the ESPDIAG.zip for this device?

Ran out of ideas at this point :(.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moe92:
well when i unlocked the bootloader. i then decided to relock it. once i relocked it. i went to the HTC website and got the 2.2.1 RUU. once the RUU downloaded, i reloaded the phone with the firmware and once it was done, it booted o the entire OS but it was in safe mode. i didnt press any buttons for it to get into safe mode. it went in by itself...

also when i shut the phone off and truend it back on, i was back in square one where i was stuck in the boot loader screen.

Also you can extract the original ESPRIMG.zip file from the offical 2.2.1 ruu. In order to extract the .zip file, you first have to run the RUU. Once you click on the Downloaded RUU program, let it run. once the first page of the RUU comes up, follwo the below directions to extract the .zip file. DO NOT flash the phone with RUU if you want to extract the .zip file.

Here are the step by step instructions

1. open my computer

2. click on the main drive. (for me it was the C: drive)

3. click on users

4. click on you computer name (the one that has the lock on it)

5. click Appdata. (appdata is a hidden folder. to un-hide it, click---> Organize/Folder and search options/view/ scroll down to hidden files and folders/ click on show all files and folders)

6. click on Local (NOT Locallow or Roaming)

7. click on Temp

8. when you get into the folder, sort the files to the DATE MODIFIED

9. when you have it sorted, you will see some folders such as ({95153F7E-B880-4656-B55D-54DD7869F984}), the name of the folders can and will be different. open each folder and when you come across a folder that has the ADB application, scroll down the folder until you reach the LETTER "R". you will then see a .zip file named "rom". copy that file onto the desktop or any other folder. rename it to ESPRIMG.ZIP.

10. format your SD CARD to FAT32. once the format is complete, copy/move the extracted rom/ESPRIMG.zip file into the sd card.

11. put SD card in the phone.

12. Hboot should then detect the esprimg file.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RevengeFNF:
Hello,

One friend of mine have flashed franco kernel, but problably the kernel was corrupted and now he get stuck at the google logo.

How can he push a new kernel to the phone memory to flash it in the recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
Adb push in a custom recovery or you can reflash your ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
JB has been known to get stuck at "google" for 10min or so. Did you wait long enough?

good day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
1) boot into bootloader

2) start recovery from bootloader

3) use adb push to copy a ROM to the /sdcard

4) flash it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zector:
Confirmed working, and a BAZILLION times faster than the chrome browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
??? chrome browser can flash roms?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGorillafilms:
Does it work with CWM?

I tried this and it said "insufficient permissions for device" in ADB. My phone randomly rebooted and gets stuck on the boot logo, but everything on my sdcard got deleted. I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus if that helps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mortenmhp:
If it's only the kernel causing problems, the easiest would be to run "fastboot flash boot <name of boot.img here>" from fastboot?(the original boot.img from the rom he's using would be found inside the zip file)

But if you screwed something else up in the process, you may need to flash the entire rom again from the recovery. If you are using cwm recovery, I believe it allows you to mount storage, so you can just move the rom file from the computer, and if you are using twrp, they have an option to sideload(under advanced), where you can connect you phone to your pc and run "adb sideload <name of rom.zip file here>" and it will install it right away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
this will not work, not with cwm nor with twrp, at this point; likely, it will never work as we don't have removable storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mortenmhp:
Then just use the sideload, it works quite well for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Or just 'adb push rom.zip /sdcard/', or if that doesn't work, 'adb push rom.zip /data/media'.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GruiaNovac:
in my case TWRP didn't do so good with adb,

I think the recovery devs should have ADB in mind first of all. without ADB ur one foot in the grave
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
adb works fine with TWRP if you have updated adb drivers/adb daemon.

guess fastboot flashing images also eludes you.

so no, you're not in the grave.

*note* thanks for necroing a thread from December.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GruiaNovac:
No, in bootloader its fine.

And apparently (if It wasn't a fluke) I think i booted normally , and having no rom it just stood there, and adb worked.

that saved me

TWRP dissapoints . have to look for replacement
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baddoor:
stuck in recovery

so Im stuck in a similar situation

before installing a ROM which instructed to wipe the device, i did so, in fact i over did it.. wiped data/cache/davlik/system and internal storage

the same storage which had the ROM that i was supposed to install after wiping it.

I felt very dumb, but now stuck with the bootloader / fastboot / and TWRP recovery .. the TWRP recovery version i have HAS the adb sideload feature

which i've tried to install the Cyanogen ROM using ./adb sideload filename.zip , which hasnt work for Cyanogen but worked for the GApps after that ( I thought that was kinda weird).

the sideload command goes thru the sending of the entire ROM to the phone, but it never installs correctly..

NOW im stuck :(

any suggestions or help on how i can do it with what appears to me to be as fastboot / adb side load / and recovery options"??

thank you very much in advance

solved my problem... mounting the partition turns on full ADB to push the files onto the drive and install them using the recovery software :)

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boyzrulz52@yahoo.com:
i am newbie so dont mind if i ask silly questions since i dont know much about this apk and flashable zips. i want to install sony xperia s keyboard on my tf300 , there is a flashable zip for that available , so my doubt is

is there any way that we can convert the flashable zip into apk so that we can install it directly as an app on side loading without rooting or bl unlocking etc stuff.??
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
That's a good question. I'm not familiar with development, but I will make a guess that it is not possible - reason I say that is I found even with root, coping files to /system resulted in error, even after setting the mount as read-write. Flashing can put files in there without actually getting into the os so that might be why its not possible, but someone else feel free to clarify further.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikaole:
you should have the apk in the zip file. But when you put it in the system app folder by hand you also have to give the apk the needed rights. So its beter you choose the simple flash a zip way.

Every time I download a paid app to my S3 from the google play store on my PC I am unable to receive a refund for them. On the phone the app doesn't appear in the play store app under my apps. When I go into applications manager and select uninstall I get an error saying that the app was not installed from google play store. If I request a refund via my account, my orders, report a problem I am sent an email stating "We've received a refund request from you for a recent Android app purchase on Google Play, however this is a free app".

[General Questions and Answers] Kir3:
Myabe this is silly question, but in my opinion they are just same with the new name, as two device need to be close to transfer data just like old Infrared.
[General Questions and Answers] beastlykings:
Someone else can answer much more fully, but I can understand how you would imagine the two being similar in purpose. Two devices communicating over short range, right? Whether it be phone to phone, or phone to checkout machine, its just short range communication. But the beauty comes in when you use them with NFC Tags. Think like.. RFID tags, only re-programmable, with re-writable memory on them.

These tags are cheap for consumers and cheaper for manufactures. They have no batteries, and are powered by the device reading them.

So the use comes in kind of like QR codes only easier, you could put them on a poster just like a QR code, but instead of having to turn your camera on and focus and decode, you just hold your phone up and the data is sent to your phone and you are whisked away to a web page, without ever touching a button.

There are lots of other uses too, I currently have 10 coming in the mail for my Galaxy Note :D

I plan on putting one on my nightstand that will automatically put my phone in silent mode and open my alarm dialog.

I plan on putting one in my church bag that will automatically put it in silent mode as well.

But these are the only things I've thought of to use them for.

Hopefully I've helped you a bit and not just rambled. I'd post links to help explain and whatnot, but I'm too new yet, sorry :/
[General Questions and Answers] universeman:
By any other name

Actually, there are 3 key differences between NFC and IrDA.

Speed: IrDA-Giga-IR tops out at 1,024 Mbit/s, though the more common IrDA-VFIR which runs at 16 Mbit/s is more likely to be used.(3) Compared to NFC which has a top transfer rate of 424 kbit/s, it blows it out of the water.(2)

Security: IrDA does not have security built in, and does not support encryption technologies such as SSL to cover that, where NFC at least supports SSL.(2)(3)

Range: IrDA has a max range of 1-2 meters, while NFC is measured in centimeters.(3) IrDA is a line of sight technology. If you do not have line of time, you cannot connect.(1)

[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
Compared to the two above posts, my answer is dumb. Lol

Im not sure about this, but I believe infrared is light at a frequency humans can't detect. (Wait isn't infrared used in night vision goggles?)

NFC is "some other type of wave" that travels a short distance
[General Questions and Answers] ron917:
NFC is radio at 13.56 MHz.

Search it on Wikipedia, you'll find more than you want to know. (can't post a link, still a noob here).

I agree with you! IrDA-Giga-IR difficulty sending file
[General Questions and Answers] universeman:
You can still post links, you just have to space them out somehow, like I did with my links above. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Kir3:
As there is Bluetooth 2.0, BT 3.0, they can updated IrDA to 2.0, 3.0 with added security or some other things...
[General Questions and Answers] universeman:
Very true. I was thinking about including Bluetooth, but the original post didn't mention it. Bluetooth is definitely a contender and is more practical than IR, and the new Bluetooth does include some security enhancements.
[General Questions and Answers] beastlykings:
But these technologies have different uses and purposes. @Kir3, what type of use were you referring to? Because aside from low energy BT devices that can last for months, the other technologies mentioned are not suitable for long term, near-indefinite, use in embedded use cases similar to QR. Or am I incorrect as to your thinking?

As far as data speeds and transmission distance are concerned, each technology also has their own pros and cons. Personally I like NFC because you can leave it on all the time and it only works when you bring it incredibly close to the device you wish to communicate with. IMO that in itself is a security measure.

but still, just my $0.02

Hi everyone!

I want t buy a Galaxy Note 10.1 3G & WiFi in the UK and am bit confused about the amount of memory! I will keep on searching and reading about it. :D

I can see on this site http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/galaxy-note/galaxy-note/GT-N8000EAABTU-spec lots of information!

Memory

16 / 32 / 64GB

Upto available memory

Upto available memory

Upto 32GB External Memory

16GB / 32GB / 64GB Nand Memory

1GB SDRAM Memory

So my question is how do I get Galaxy Note 10.1 3G & WiFi with 64gb memory? Is the internal memory 32gb and I add a 32GB Micro SDHC?

I can see stores such as John Lewis selling 16gb models only..

http://www.johnlewis.com/231714901/Product.aspx?s_pccid=pc_gs_200_&

I get the feeling that 16gb, 32gb and 64gb models wil be available, and a further 32gb can be added with a microSD card.

Back to my searching! Any advice appreciated!

Edit - Maybe this answers my own question.. from Handtec

Good old me, always getting something wrong on a release :) Not usually fixed before any replies, but I didn't expect this ROM to be useful for than a precious few users anyway ;)

Anyhow, it's rather important to apply the following patch, should anyone be trying this ROM out. This appears to resolve the problems with suspend/resume, including the ANR issue I mentioned above. I made customizations to the video subsystem to reduce CPU usage (by quite a bit), but didn't consider the ramifications of what happens when the screen is powered down properly. I've updated my method to be more like the original code behavior but still maintains the reduction in CPU load.

[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
What ROM are you running now? If you're fully stock or running an MTD ROM like Cyanogenmod, I'm afraid that ODIN will be necessary. If you're running one of the community's older stock-based ROMs and have a recovery like Clockworkmod installed, shouldn't be a problem to download to the sd card, wipe data, and then install from recovery. You would just need to grab the big .zip file and the patch I just published.

Just to be sure, you saw that this ROM does not support cellular service, right? I'd hate for you to install it just to find out you have no phone!

To be honest, I would hold off until you are home and aren't going to run the risk of being without your device at all, but I'm flattered that you want to try it! Besides, my track record is always the same ... big release, big bug (check!), then a couple more bugs (hasn't happened yet, but they're there somewhere, I can feel it - LOL)
