[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sidgrafix:
A FUBAR'D HTC Vivid was just handed to me..

(This is a friends phone they purchased on eBay apparently modified!)

It appears to be stuck on boot in Team Win Recovery 2.2.0

If someone could please point me in the right direction to get this thing restored, that would be greatly appreciated!

(From within Team Win it appears everything fails to mount and it isn't seeing the external sd, tho one is currently not installed! When it is connected to pc via usb a windows messege appears and it asks me to format the disk! "pretty sure I don't wanna do that...")

I can see what looks like the system files and structure using the browser/file viewer in the advanced button, but it will not reboot into anything "System, Recovery, or Bootloader from Team Win Recovery (it fails and hangs) you can't even use power off it or go back, you have to remove the battery to do anything after you attempt any of that to continue..) It tells me there is "NO OS" Installed when i select reboot to anything!

With ADB I can see the device and boot into fastboot gaining access to HBOOT this is whats listed:

hboot: 0x87CDC63B

recovery: 0xB46F9CEB

system: 0xB6BF81BF

I just need an absolute way to restore I am more than familiar with ADB and modification (but tend to stay with Moto X, RAZR, Xoom devices) I'm kinda blind as to were to start with this HTC..

it was suggested i post the recovery log! i attempted to pull it with no success! not sure of it's path..

I'm not sure if my friend some how wiped the the OS or what, I wasn't there when the phone went fubar.. All I was told is they bought it 3 months ago on ebay and they've used it fine for the last 3 months as go phone (but it is an ATT HTC Vivid) They woke up the other morning and it was stuck in "Team Win Recovery" which they had never seen before.. They thought it was a virus.. lol..

I can't say for sure if this was there error or a bug of some sort. I guess I need to know which files I can push through adb to either make this work or restore it to factory, it appears doing it through team win recovery isn't an option at this point! I can't find what should be a back up or any other zip it would attempt to install - but as stated before it appears nothing mounts with in the team win recovery!

Also, I imagine if they are using it as a go phone just popping there sim card in an out it has something to do with the Holiday S-OFF?

(Like I said I primarily mod Motorola - i know nothing of HTC... and I'm on the dreaded VZW)

download at&t ruu for htc vivid and run on pc while in hboot

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

just make sure before you run the ruu you relock the bootloader
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sidgrafix:
bootloader was and is still locked! It is in HBOOT now and i'm running the (htc vivid att RUU 3.26.502.56 US.exe) so far it has been stuck on Verifying information on your android phone. Please wait...

For about 10 minutes so far.. Tho originally it would kick back that no device was present and check the connection "That was before I tried to access through adb" several hours ago.. So I don't think it is working but I will wait a bit longer and see..

All Antivirus etc. is disabled and the drivers for the HTC all have a green checkmark and im not using sync, pda net or any other sync software as well...

Even tried to flash jb_hboot.zip from JuopunutBear site it flashed in fastboot fine but when i rebooted it went back into Team Win recovery and still listed no OS installed..

Anyone know were I can find original recovery and boot images? If I can get stock back it least it be a start..

EDIT:

Got it to go.. waited another 20 minutes still hadn't passed the Verifying information so I was about to cancel out but decided to switch phone back to fastboot from hboot for s'n'giggles..

Well.. Thats what it wanted.. Fastboot mode instead Hboot..

The RUU flashed everything back nicely -thank you..! Seams as tho the phone is back to stock, no sim so I can't test I'll have to wait for my friend to pick it up and try it.. lol

Thanks again!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jessel0001:
I was messing around with phone info and noticed my xt910 had network option for cdma, evdo and lte. Also, when i pressed the menu had the option to select usa band. I thought this may be from using the eclipse rom, so i went back to .41 stock and the options were still available.

Does the xt 910 have cdma radio and would it be possible to use it on verizon? I travel to the states often for work and have Verizon while I'm there.

I've been looking on eBay for a used vzw razr maxx but this would save me some money.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Quantumstate:
If it is in fact an xt910, it doesn't have cdma or lte. The options will be there, but you can't select them and make them stick.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jessel0001:
Thanks for the reply, I was figuring that was the case.

[Q]Galaxy Ace Hard Brick by flashing s5830i ROM on s5830.

so my Questions are:

- Will Jig USB work on it?

- what will Samsung Service Center cost/charge?? As mobile was import from other country & its warranty ended 3 months ago also.

- A shop does offer JTag service & its listed on http://www.jtagbox.com/category/jtag-dealers/ how much should i pay them for it??

How it got Bricked?

- by mistake flashed s5830i ROM Retribution beta 4 on s5830

- when selected Restart after Installation Completed, cell phone never turned back On again.

thanks waiting for your responses
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon4248:
I did the same thing to my first phone...flashing a rom while i was tried..didnt see the i...duh.. luckily I got a replacement for free from koodo cause i was within 14 days. Not sure if it can be fixed by the service center or the cost but it is definitely hard bricked. Sorry.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elazu1:
Sadly to say, it is hard brick. I did the same on my phone once, flashed with S5830i and that was it, i tried Odin method, jib USB but it never even turned on. Luckily my warranty was still on course and the phone center never made it to turn on again, so they replaced the motherboard for a new one and it worked. I never tried the riff jtag but i've heard is the only method to bring a phone to life after hard brick. Good luck
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumbobombo:
If your phone is still in warranty and it does not turn on at all

Just go to service center act all nooby and tell them I was using the phone and suddenly it switched off and did not switch on again

They will never be able to figure out it was rooted or anything

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Khameleon:
So i am a little confused.

Back on Gingerbread i had my phone rooted and was just using adblock and Titanium backup on the stock rom. SU worked fine and everytime i booted up TB or Adblock it always showed up with the "application has been granted SU access" or whatever.

When i updated my phone to stock ICS through Kies, i couldnt use TiTbackup anymore so i re-rooted my phone using some program i saw on here (it was not ODIN).

After that my Titanium Backup worked fine again as well as Adblock.

Now i am trying to jump into CM10/AOKP but i cannot seem to flash TWRP and superuser wont update (its telling me i dont have root access).

What should i do? Just try to re-root via Odin and flash the newest version of Superuser? Or will that screw things up considering i have SU already installed.

Thanks for any help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] idbl_fanatic:
Did you restore using CWM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Khameleon:
Restore to what?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] idbl_fanatic:
Restore your ROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Khameleon:
Why? Its the factory Rom on right now, i havent changed anything on it.

Just got Root Checker and now its saying i dont have root access.... le sigh.

I can still get into CWM, is there a way to flash something to give me root access?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] idbl_fanatic:
The reason I asked, was because CWM has issues with setting the correct access, and if you restore, you lose root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Khameleon:
Should i just try reflashing SU? Or would that brick or ruin my phone?

I think the reason Titanium backup and Adblock are still working are because that is what i was using before i went to ICS and it maintained SU permissions.

Think SU might have just gotten corrupted?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miguelmflores:
Hello Xda guys, I've following you since a lot ago and I must say thanks for all your ROMs and tutorials, I think this is one of the best forums I've ever read about android development. :D

I just have a silly question I can't understand just because it's going to be the first time I'll do it...

I already rooted my samsung galaxy SII I9100, I have installed the JB 4.1.1 Revolt 2.3 version and it runs very good.

Now they just updated that ROM and I've never upgraded from the same ROM, and I read the tutorial and it says:

If upgrading from Older version of this ROM :

1-Create a Nandroid

2-Flash ROM

3-Reboot

So, I really can't understand what's "Nandroid" and I already searched in the forum, I still couldn't get any help... I wish I have a little help about this...

I don't know what they mean with creating a nandroid... :(

I already searched in Q&A and the search bar...

Thanks you all! :cyclops:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
Nandroid - nand

More info about NAND: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory

Nandroid backup means full copy of your current ROM, your data, kernel and cache.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
In addition to what przemcio510 said, nandroid is basically a 'snapshot' of the phone as it is currently, stored as a backup. Incase your flashing goes wrong, you will need this to get back to your previous known working configuration.

If you have CWM..steps are as follows:

- Reboot to recovery

-Select the backup and restore option

-Select backup to external SD card OR backup to internal SD card. (or both :p )

This will save a backup.. a "nandroid" backup.. saved as the current date and time.

Hope this helps :good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miguelmflores:
Thanks you a lot both of you, mostly HAXTREME, because you explained it a little bit more, so yeah, the step basically said:

Backup, flash, Restart (enjoy), right? hahah, I feel a little bit dumb, but now I'll do it inmediately.

[HTC 7 Pro] KewinPol:
Hi, I have a question: Is it possible to control the game on the keyboard?
[HTC 7 Pro] KewinPol:
Who can help me?
[HTC 7 Pro] TheXev:
I'd assume that it would be possible, so long as the game supported it. But since most Windows Phones do not have keyboards, devs probably don't create keyboard controls for their games. :/
[HTC 7 Pro] evath:
AFAIK, the only games that could be controlled by the keyboard would be games that include text-input. If I'm remembering correctly, in an older version of the Text Twist game, you could use the keyboard, though I might be crazy.

Sorry.
[HTC 7 Pro] Capt.Apollo:
vnes or dotnes

I believe vnes or dotnes supported playing games with the keyboard with the arrow keys though I can't remember which and those were old roms. As far as new games TheXev has it right. They could but since such few arrives were sold and the only other wp7 phone besides pro/arrive and dell venue pro and the lg one i forget it's name had keyboards it wouldn't make that much sense to devote time to that.
[HTC 7 Pro] Nerdenator:
Whether or not you could use the keyboard as a control method depends on the game. Are there any specific ones you have in mind?

For some reason, Infinite Flight and SurvivalCraft stick out in my mind for this, but I need to re-confirm that.

Starting last night, my battery is getting destroyed when the phone is not in use. I haven't installed anything new, apps included. Running Cleanrom 4.5 DE.

Nothing coming up on BBS. That drop was when I was sleeping. Looks like a 25% drop in the span of minutes. Same thing happened today. Went from fully charged to 90% to 59% in an hour or so of no use. And from the looks of battery usage, it was pretty much just Wifi, Network and screen. Nothing else.

Not sure what is going on really.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eak1080:
something is holding a wakelock during that time, at least that's what I gathered from the picture.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] qwertyaas:
Oddly, the highest wakelock was 5minutes. Didn't have any severe wakelocks. Not sure what exactly would cause a 25-30% drop.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
Whole thread on this that I have been apart of. The OP actually has two issues but his second one if this issue and the one that is mostly covered in the thread. Only happens at night. Can't figure out what is causing it. I let AT&T know but they haven't gotten back to me. HTC tried to blame it on facebook. Seems like a handful of people are noticing it. Most wouldn't because they charge their phone at night.

Where are you located?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] qwertyaas:
Went through the thread, seems similar but less extreme drop for me. I'm in Queens, NY.

Today my phone is fine... And Friday I had close to 24 hours on battery with around 3 hours screen time and 35% left.

The drop last night was from using the phone, not idle.

[Asus Transformer TF700] pierrekid:
I think i might have a possible reasons for the non-buttery smoothness some people have been experience with the tf700. Now most of the time i have my tab connected to the dock for typing in class, emails etc... but today i left my dock at home for the first time. Throughout the day i noticed that my tab was flying! Seriously the browser, going through the file manager, opening and closing apps. Nearly as fast as my GS3. I though asus might have sent an update or something without me knowing because this was a completely different tablet.

Once i got home i had to type up a report and needed the dock. I noticed that immediately after connecting it....the tab was not as fast. Now note that i have another sd card in the dock. What i began to notice was that once the the tab was connected, the combination of readying the the sd card in the dock for use combined with the change in the keyboard slowed down the responsiveness of the tablet immensely. Everything took an extra 1/2 millisecond. Now it wasn't "slow" but definitely "slower" than when it was not connect to the dock with the SD card.

So my questions to those that aren't as satisfied with the JB update:

1.Do you have a dock and is it always connected to the tab?

2.Do you have a micro or regular SD card within the dock?

3. Is the slowness/non-buttery smoothness you experience occur when you are connected to the dock with the above two criteria?

For those that are satisfied i want you to answer the same questions.

I honestly believe it is because of the dock/extra sd card configuration that some of us are experiencing the lag that we do. If my theory is correct, then hopefully asus can get this fixed with a software update.

[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
an extra HALF MILLISECOND?!?! omg so slooooooowwww. ;)

seriously though, maybe you mean an extra half second? i was using my tablet without the doc last night and i didn't think it was any faster. i'll do a little testing both ways and see if i notice any difference.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pierrekid:
haha i was exaggerating. I just meant that its marginally slower than when dock. Yea do a test let us know if you too see a difference. Even if you dont consider it to be "slow" when docked, if it hangs slightly longer then when undocked, let us know. Also report if the SD card is inserted or not. Thanks!

My experience is It slows up abit at wake up then it goes back to normal after it reads both cards. Just gotta wait a bit. This is at balanced mode.
[Asus Transformer TF700] amenic:
Sound theory IMO - I'm a squeaky wheel and I'm always using the dock - after reading this I'll avoid it for a few days and post results.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pierrekid:
Awesome looking forward to your report along with everyone elses!

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
[Asus Transformer TF700] GregAndo:
I had a play around, and I couldn't see a difference between docked or separated. Random question though...what background are you using? Do you store your background on the SD card in your dock?

I only ask because I was the same as you...disappointed in the performance after upgrading to JB. I am not sure if it is because of what I was expecting from my other devices (Nexus 7 and GN). Either way, it wasn't quite smooth enough.

It wasn't until I went hunting until I found my own answer...completely disabling my wallpaper. Just a standard static wallpaper...it wasn't a live wallpaper or anything. That is when my TF700T became as smooth as my other two devices. Love it now...but miss my wallpaper :(

I use Apex Launcher and disable it in there...any kind of wallpaper results in jitter at the home screen...and switching windows. Especially bringing up the notification menu. So I would ask you to check that one for me if you can...

As far as the other people in here...I am not sure that anyone else cares about the fluidity of the interface. My original thread didn't seem to get much attention...

[Asus Transformer TF700] ZaJules:
Same findings re. the wallpaper

Ive been using Asus Day scene live wallpaper and love it but changed to the stock asus static wallpaper and Nova is at least 2x faster

No Noticeable difference for me between using the Tab with or without the dock!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
For what it's worth, my TF700 is almost always docked and this thing flies! I am using stock launcher with a static background. When I do un-dock it, I haven't noticed any performance difference. I am not using an SD card in the dock, if that means anything (but I do use a MicroSD card in the tablet itself).

I'm interested in seeing some more responses to this thread. Like I said, I have absolutely *zero* performance issues with Jelly Bean and with Browser2RAM (and the "Enable CPU Upload path" option enabled), the stock browser is insanely fast and an absolute joy to use.

I think it's also worth mentioning what launcher you use when responding - I've found that the stock launcher performs the best and is the most stable.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital Man:
I don't think its the dock. I think it's the touchpad. It's very unresponsive, particularly when scrolling and gives the impression that the tablet is sluggish.

Try this experiment - instead of using the touchpad, perform all your normal tasks by using the screen instead. After a few minutes you'll realize that its plenty fast. Or try using a good USB mouse. Scrolling in the web browser is effortless with a mouse but feels like your stuck in the mud with the touchpad.

I have a high end ASUS gaming laptop and I have the same problem - the touchpad is really really bad. This just seems to be another thing that ASUS can't quite seem to get right.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] androidmonkey:
I tried installing KIES on (2) different computers. I finally got it to recognize the phone, it started the update, then got stuck at 100% of "downloading firmware upgrade components". After about 5 minutes, the window closes and KIES locks up. I tried reinstalling KIES, no luck.

Is there any other way (besides rooting and installing a custom ROM) to upgrade the SGS Blaze to ICS?

...samsung should be ashamed to put out ****ware.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
I'm pretty sure you are stuck using Kies without rooting :(

Its a pretty fast process to root/cwm and put on a ROM, probably 20 minutes or so including making a backup. You can still install the stock ROM from here if you want.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Would folks find an odinable stock ICS useful? I thought there was one around already, lemme know if not
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
There is a one click but it was for the i577 ICS rom, a stock blaze one would be great!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] androidmonkey:
These are my parents phones, both SGS Blaze. I would rather not root them, since they aren't very tech savy. Its a shame that the largest smartphone manufacturer in the world cannot make decent software. It reminds me of really bad software from the mid 90's. That said, my parents are just fine with using GB, I just love ICS so much that I was hoping to get it installed for them.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Right on - I meant an untouched stock ODINable version - that way instead of needing Kies you just need ODIN to get you updated. Hell I could even whip up a stock CWM version, all bloated and odexed and what not. Sometimes such things are handy as options to "return to stock" and all. I am unsure how to automate the process like thomas.raines does, but I could make a file you can use the old-fashioned way with ODIN.

So this really doesn't exist elsewhere? I haven't needed it (and I'm inherently lazy) so I haven't really searched for it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought you all ready posted an ICS tar?

LOL - yeah that looks like what Kies gives you anyway. That one can be problematic if you flash it with ODIN though - at least it was in my experience, which is why I removed some things and made CWM flashable variants to get around the issues (i.e. hung/failed on the modems).
