[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teichopsia:
Well....

1- over a year old bought refurbished.

2- he never rooted. We could assume that it is s-off from the previous owner but all of us failed to ask that question making another assumption that he isn't s-off.

3- he did a factory reset which didn't work (whatever that means with an s-on device / with an s-off device it really messes things up).

4- glevitan is here. If he doesn't know how to fix it (and from the few active members that tend to lend a hand in these type of posts) there may be just a handful who could help out. Hence, the OP is in good hands.

5- when someone messes up their phone without knowing what happened nor how to fix it, you need to give more detailed instructions on how to get it done.

6- I'm guessing that the info glevitan asked for is to find the correct ruu for the member to flash and to get his phone back to working conditions. If that doesn't work, chances are it's a hardware problem.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cfhappy:
Factory reset resets the phone to it's "as fabricated"-condition, wich means it wipes user data and cache on the phone. With or without root the procedure is the same and should usally not affect /system or /boot.

So we have to find out, if the phone is S-On/S-Off (phosphen, more information on the topic can be read for example here, second post).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teichopsia:
I couldn't resist. :D

Maybe it's good practice for him to read through all to learn to discern right info from wrong.

Sent from a dream.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Yeah, that is right, but with the phone stuck in the splash I don´t think is a good time to think about learning. This experience will definitely be worth for him in the future. :victory:

Hello Glevitan

unfortunately this command can't be recognized, apparently I haven't got the drivers....shall I install Hack Kit then?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phosphen:
Yes, phone is S-On. My mentioning of 'flashing new rom' before was just a wild assumption, I'm totally 'android illiterate', sorry...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phosphen:
Indeed, I feel ashamed of coming here as a complete ignorant, I should read up first on the matter :rolleyes: Thank you so much guys, moments like this restore my faith into humanity, cheers!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cfhappy:
The drivers can be found in the adb-tools. Please tell us which OS runs on your machine, so we could give you further instructions.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
ok, do the following. Download the Hack Kit from here, install the drivers in the tools>windrivers (with the phone unplugged) and then run as an administrator hack-ace.cmd file. That will install fastboot, adb and some other stuff. The Hack Kit is to be found here:

http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=74

Then once everything is installed, plug the phone and wait until the driver is installed correctly.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phosphen:
Hi,

I have installed drivers correctly, plugged the phone, and when opened hack-ace the command says ERROR and JOB NOT STARTED AS ADMINISTRATOR... I must be doing something wrong as clearly I am Admin.. I am running Win7 Professional on this machine. Any thoughts please? thanks:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdub504:
Depends on what system you using Right click the icon on your pc,see If there's an option to run as administrator.I find on Windows 7 it is done a bit differently.it is very important to read the manuel,if you can grasp the info it provides.a you tube search for ace hack kit would help.be sure to watch a few videos to make sure the information is consistent.

[Focus General] titanhydro:
I know cause of the deal being off now that T-mobile gets to use ATTs 3g.

Just wondering if anyone notice because I notice while I was in downtown Sacramento I downloaded a speed test app and it said I was pulling 2.1mbps(d)and .5mbps(u).

And that's on a phone that's stuck on I think it's like 250kbps or whatever EDGE speed is at cause of the 1700/2100 need for 4g/3g on T-Mobile.

Sorry if it sound like I'm rambling.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
I'm not, but I'm curious if you have this fix on your phone? Might help, if you don't have it.
[Focus General] Xaruza:
Extra Slow 2G

I'm just curious, for those of you who are still on Tmobile's 2G (EDGE) network with the Samsung Focus, what kinds of speeds are you getting on the edge network? I'm getting a measly 5.5 kilobytes per second. Sometimes not even that.

Yes I am well aware that TMobile is rolling out 3G on the 1900mhz frequency that the Samsung Focus uses for the TMobile service, and I can't wait to actually see 3G/3G+ on my Focus for TMobile finally. Though I'm really just curious as of right now, what kinds of speeds is everyone getting for the EDGE Network, because I'm seeing people on Howard Forums report getting 150 kbps to 200 kbps, of course they're not really clarify if they're getting kiloBYTES or kiloBITS. So for all intensive purposes for replies to my inquiry, let's try to keep it all in kiloBYTES per second.

Thanks everyone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ddurandSGS3:
I want to buy the Neo hybrid.

However, I want a lumi series TPU with a color series polycarbonate (white).

SGP wont do it. They arrive to them packaged alraedy from Korea.

Anyone able to think of a way I could pull this off? Its a simple swap out.

I thought about asking if theyd just do it for me, and charge me 5$ extra to ship it back to korea as mispackaged/damaged or something. That **** must happen every once in a while anyway?

Any help appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] irock1985:
I was thinking buy both. Swap them. And then return what you don't want. Should work right?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ddurandSGS3:
as long as they know theyll be sent back a mish mash of parts. i could ask them about that i guess.

i understand why they wont do it, but it cant be that hard for them to do it either
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ejatds:
maybe check out your nearest mall to see if they sell sgp cases and ask them to switch? (those stands in the middle of the hallways).

i remember I was looking at incipio silicrylic case (also 2 parts) they told me if I wanted to, I could mix and match the colours to what I wanted.

[Nook Touch General] vdguzman:
Do you know the "now reading" button? The one that takes you to your current book regardless on what app/menu you are.

Well, if I choose a book with a file manager app, then using that button doesn't work as intended; the now reading button only works with books chosen from the default file explorer, any workarounds?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I use my own library app which is basically just a customized file manager.

The "Now reading" button works fine.

The "Now reading" button sends the com.bn.nook.launch.LAST_BOOK intent.

Normally Home.apk handles that and queries inside Reader.apk content://com.bn.nook.reader.providers.lastreadingpointprovider/ which gets the last book read.

Home.apk then sends an intent out into the blue to open up that file specifying the MIME type application/epub.

If either Home.apk or Reader.apk is missing, some other provision must be made.

The stock Library.apk is not involved in any of this.

When Reader.apk opens a book it updates the LRP database.

In short, if you open a book in Reader.apk the LRP should be up to date regardless of how you got Reader.apk to open the book.
[Nook Touch General] ladykayaker:
Renate - I am using your library.apk and it is great!

I flashed a Jellybean touchwiz rom for Verizon GS3, and went to reboot and now nothing, zero zip nada. No charging led light, no way to get into recovery and no response.

Anything I can do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Karl:
what happens when you do vol up + home+power button?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NickTheMajin:
Absolutely nothing. I tried to get back into the recovery to see if I could restore my backup and nope.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Karl:
did you try leave it pluged in for 30mins ?

does it vibrate once when you try to turn it on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NickTheMajin:
No vibrating and no sign of life at all. Even when plugged into my computer, I was going to try the unbrick guide but it listed that I should be able to get into the recovery still.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Karl:
leave it plugged in for a while to make sure its not drained battery

do you have a usb jig?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NickTheMajin:
I don't have a USB jig but this is possibly good news. I removed the battery and SD card and plugged it into my computer and it tried to install drivers (failed but tried) and the led light comes on red.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Karl:
if your gettin led now you more then likely need to let it charge
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NickTheMajin:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmichaels1982:
you know

I am surprised. That also happened to me the first time i flashed that very same rom (touchwiz) with twrp . I have done this so many times , i literarily can flash a rom on the way to work .

I was in shock , i still dont know how the heck can i flash a rom and brick .

I plugged mine into windows and i got the device manager driver error from hell . and my phone never came back up again

I stayed away form twrp and touchwiz and i still cant possibly comprehend how a simple rom flash can brick my phone .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pdinphx:
Which ROM did you flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
you could probably send it to get Jtag'ed for around $60 if your warranty is invalid (ie used device)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
You just hard bricked it. I did the same thing. Check here - post 5 shows the same symptoms :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1770341

I was pushing a copy of root66 that I hadn't md5'd. Took a JTAG to bring me back (twice) .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NickTheMajin:
So, in the future, md5 checksum absolutely everything since I'm assuming now that that is why this happened? (Since I made doubly sure I was flashing a rom for my phone).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
If you still have the file you downloaded, you can check it. That would answer that question. If it checks out fine, then we have to look elsewhere for the problem.

BTW, MobileTechVideos.com can bring you back - based on my experience with them, I highly recommend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x-y-no:
Please share exactly what you did so others can benefit from your unfortunate experience.

What ROM did you flash?

Did you use ODIN or a recovery?

If recovery, which one - CWM or TWRP?

Was there any unusual condition you can think of ... low battery, USB connected to computer or to charger, etc?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NickTheMajin:
I checked the md5, and it didn't match. So thats what it was ;)

So from now on, I'm checking and rechecking every damn file I even think about flashing hahaha. Thanks guys, try not to make the same mistake I did. Sometimes I get lazy and just flash a rom while in a lecture hall. It usually works but then there are these weird instances.

I did drive to a verizon wireless store and had it replaced for free under warranty.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apacseven:
Even though that warranty was voided...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
...Right.....that whole fraud thing, and what not...That's why I paid to JTAG mine (twice)...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JBO1018:
I find it strange that flashing ROMS from CWM recovery can hard brick this phone. On my Thunderbolt it seemed like you could flash near anything and the worst you would get is a boot loop. The only way to brick it was to flash bad radios or bootloaders. What is so different about this phone? I though download mode was supposed to make it harder to brick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apacseven:
What happens is people flash something for a different model, and THAT bricks the phone. Not the act of just flashing anything in CWM.

So I turned on my prime yesterday and noticed that my weatehr widget was not there?

Click on screen options to resize or remove is there.... So I removed and add it back.

Setup options click save and the screen shot shows what I get.

If I reboot widget does not show even thought it is there and I can remove and re-add it again but says not available.

I have forced stop and cleared the data no change,

Anyone else getting this, it worked fine no issues on ICS and was working for a couple days on JB as well.

ICS was a data wipe 2 days before JB update.

it's a charging bug i guess, remove ur battery for at least 15mins and retry booting.hope this helps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
can you go to recovery mode? (col up+home button+power button) if so, you can try wiping caches/dalvik cache.. better yet do a factory reset.. and if it still does not boot. IF you can go to download mode (col down+home button+power button), you can flash a stock firmware from sammobile.com but you have to have an account there first to download the fw.

I hope this helps :)

Hello all, quick question over here, I am epileptic and had a seizure, my screen broke (this never happened with HTC inspire), you guys think it is possible to get it fixed from HTC or ATT? Any recommendations, possibly fixing it myself?

thanks in advance
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] phatalbert1000:
:. ( That sucks, man.

I'm not sure if your warranty would cover it but I wonder if, considering the circumstances, you could write a letter to the right person and get a replacement. Are you still in your 30 day return period?

I'm not an expert on screen replacement on these things but I can't imagine it would be that difficult considering there is really only one way for it to go when you factor in the unibody design.

Edit: Found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8SpHbhzLgU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Also, looks like the glass is going for around 20 on ebay and the LCD glass combo is about 3 times that.

There's also the Craiglist/ eBay option. Specifically, selling the broken one on ebay and buying a used one on Craigslist. You might even come close to breaking even. If you are into flashing though, make sure you don't end up with something on 2.20 firmware.

Good luck!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Sorry to hear it. Warranty is for defects, not for damage done by the consumer. So if you genuinely feel that the screen broke under circumstances where it should not have, than you may have a case. But my gut feel is that they will say that phones are not meant to be dropped, and can't be responsible for damage due to dropping, regardless of the cause.

Of course, it never hurts to ask. And all it takes is a sympathetic person to bend the policy a bit. If you are a long time customer, and/or have multiple lines, they tend to bend the rules a bit more than otherwise.

Hindsight is of course 20/20. But if you are prone to dropping phones this way, you might look into insuring the phone. Insurance is available at reasonable rates through AT&T and also 3rd party insurers.
