[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] XeoNoX:
first of all the link to your picture doesn't work.

Now on to what u were asking....when heating it up the glass doesn't just "come off" or "peel off" or "fall off" .... you have to separate the glass from what you call "bare screen" (i assume u are talking about the digitizer) with a flat sturdy piece of cardboard (like a piece of a cereal box) or something similar. if heated around 180 degreee the glass should come off (separate from digitizer) very easily literally feels like cutting butter with cardboard.

you should not see any "glue residue" inbetween the glass and the screen..u are supposed to remove the glue "residue"/adhesive from the BLACK part of the screen using rubbing alcohol DAMP microfiber cloth. just remove it from the black screen area and leave the glue on the outer edges (where the white part of the glass is) so the new glass has something to stick to.

if u fix your pic or have any other questions maybe i can help u out more.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] richardgiroux:
My digitizer doesn't work

After replacing the glass the touch screen doesn't work. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] XeoNoX:
u must have had a broken digitizer too or you have "adhesive glue" stuck in between the glass and the digitizer preventing the screen from sensing your touch. btw: if you have a broken digitizer you might as well just get a whole new phone as a digitizer is very expensive (around $200 USD) for the S3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] antaras:
hi there !!!

what you mean " broken digitizer " what is that..

i make it all like the video but my screen dont work ... what is that and where is that digi ??

thanx for your time :)

i buy this from e-bay
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] XeoNoX:
its hard to explain, but the digitizer is the next part directly behind the glass screen, normally if u buy the digitizer the glass screen comes with it. (however if u buy the glass screen it generally just comes with the glass screen and no digitizer) <--- i hope this makes sense

i should have taken a picture of mine when i had it apart. the closest picture i could find was this one below that has BOTH the SCREEN & the DIGITIZER, most people just need the glass screen. However if your screen doesnt sense your touches then u need the digitizer too.

http://i.imgur.com/wtq3v.jpg

the bare digitizer by iteself looks almost like a LCD touch screen but i couldnt find a picture of one online.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] antaras:
i understand now what is .. i see the foto and one video ..

so i put the battery i turn on my mobile and if i touch the screen ( lsd ) without the front glass must be ok normaly but my doesnt make nothing i put the glass in front of the screen without a glue exactly like the video but my touch dont work again .. :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] XeoNoX:
sorry but your english translation is not making sense to me...pretty much if the touchscreen still works then all u need is the glass, if your touchscreen doesn't work then u need the digitizer and the glass
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jay_droid:
my question is: is there affect without having that special clear glue in the middle of screen when put back together?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] XeoNoX:
the touchscreen will work just fine without the "glue" (special adhesive), i actually removed it and cleaned it all up and just left some of it on the outter edge, u just have to make sure there is a little bit of that "glue /' residue" around the OUTER EDGE of the glass (the outer edge behind the white/blue/red part of the glass) to make sure the glass STICKS to the phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jay_droid:
And lastly, you have now exactly the same feeling and look as original? i.e screen is flush to bezel, no cracking noises, no evident spacing in between glass and digitizer?

how long has it been since install now?

(sorry for the bombardment of questions)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] puretone:
This is useful to my interest....hmmmm yes yes yes it is....

I'm gonna swap parts of my gay-blue T999 to the much cooler black parts!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jrocks213:
Heres my glass I replaced today. it wasnt easy and it wasn't too difficult. I been fixing phones for a while so take your time if you Want To replace your glass. and make sure you heat up the glass real good. It helps a lot. And make sure you clean up the residue left from the glue real good. if you don't your phones screen won't work correctly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] uoY_redruM:
How do you set the new screen? Do I need to buy double sided LCD tape?

I see you got it out in one piece. Did you tape it down before heating?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jrocks213:
I used reg clear tape on the screen to make sure it stayed in one piece. And I also had double sided tape they sell for the screens itself. I cut diff shapes and to make sure the screen stayed on. Where you see the clamps is where I put the tape to make sure it stays on.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] uoY_redruM:
So you need tape then right? There's no way to stick it with existing? I just want to make sure I'm prepared lol.

I installed a custom rom 4.l.2 and did nt install gapps and rebooted and i dont have access to play store now on my galaxy nexus, what do i do now??? please somebody help me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akusokuzan:
Can't you boot into recovery then flash gapps again?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maddyreddy:
there is no rom manager to boot into recovery ..is there way i could boot into recovery any other way??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xfanatic:
If the phone is on you should be able to hold down power like you are turning it off but choose reboot then recovery. If the phone is off hold down power + volume up + volume down and choose recovery.

Also stop using ROM Manager. :)

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NapalmDawn:
I recently backed up my rooted but stock Tab2, 7.0 and loaded an ICS rom. I wanted to go back to my stock but when I try to restore, I am getting an error that the MD5 sum is not matching. Anybody have any idea how I might be able to use this backup?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohamedselim:
Have you tried to flash another version of cwm ?

Or try to flash stock rom via odin from for example www.samfirmware.com
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NapalmDawn:
Haven't done another CWM. I did flash another rom but I'm going to be sticking with it so I don't need the back up anymore. It was just odd as it was the first time I'd seen that happen.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zljk:
I once experienced the same thing - it turned out that nandroid backups initiated using ROM Manager couldn't be restored using recovery and vice versa. If you decide to try again try both.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NipzBGD:
Ok, here's the gist. Went to root a friends phone. Used AAHK as I had on mine. It needed to downgrade (as it had done previously with mine). After downgrading it wouldn't boot. Just hung on HTC boot screen. Waited 10+ mins...nothing. Tried a few times...nothing. I can get into Hboot using power/volume but have no idea what to do from here as I can't boot into a ROM so the laptop/aahk can see it. I've tried bootloader....nothing happens. Tried Factory reset...nothing happens...just goes back to HTC boot screen. Can any kind person help out a noob in distress here. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.:good:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
You don't need to boot into a ROM to do stuff. You're fine as long as you can reach the bootloader. Read the Noob Starter Guide by Glevitan for more info. Find it here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30007264&postcount=2

---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

If you need to know what you need to read.. You already have a downgraded hboot.. you need to S-OFF it and flash a custom recovery now. You can read on how to do that from the guide I mentioned.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NipzBGD:
Thanks for the response. I have quickly read through the guide but am slightly confused to say the least. I can't find how to get S-Off from here, other than through aahk. Bootloader does nothing when selected, and recovery just takes me back to the htc boot screen. I'm stuck here. Could you please point me to the right (next) step (S-off). I have read the guide, but it doesn't say how to do it from Hboot.

For example, the guide states this :-

Unlocking the bootloader with HTCDEV tool will allow you to flash CWM recovery and install

custom roms for ACE models and not ported roms, meaning that roms ported from other devices

such as Sensation or Sensation XL will not be successfully be flashed.

..which is all well and good. Ok, I have an unlocked bootloader so I can install CWM, but HOW?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
Can you post the text appearing on top of your bootloader here?

Depending on that you might need to either flash a recovery or fix your bootloader.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NipzBGD:
Of course. Thanks again, as it's driving me crazy trying to find how to S-off and install CWM from here.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
Alright. You used AAHK right? Did you read the guide and follow all the steps? I'll suggest to use the "Fixing your messed bootloader" section of the guide I mentioned previously and then run the AAHK again.

Get the latest version from here : http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=74
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
Calm down. It's all solvable. And we can get it back working.

For adb to work you need to connect your device and let it go into bootloop (switch it on and let it stay as it is).

Once it goes into that state, try typing "adb devices" it should show a list of devices attached, you should see your phone in there. Once your phone is recognized, the adb commands should work.

Also, do you have HTC Sync installed?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NipzBGD:
Kicking myself for realising that HTC sync WAS installed. Have uninstalled, wiped drivers, and reinstalled drivers from here. Rebooted laptop. Still the same. Ok, my ADB console I type in adb devices and it says List of devices attached and just shows the same command prompt line underneath (i.e C:\Windows\system32> so I don't think it's seeing the device.

When you say "Let it go into bootloop", all I have have done is turned it on and it goes to the HTC screen, I hope this is right. Windows see's the phone ok. When I plug it in it sees it as "USB mass device installed". Is this the problem?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
Did you enable USB Debugging on the stock ROM before you started AAHK? If not then thats the reason probably why ADB is not working right now.

Anyway, what I'll suggest you to do right now is to boot into the bootloader and run an RUU.

Get an appropriate RUU from here : http://www.filefactory.com/f/efa28fefafc4af9c/

Appropriate means your region, WWE is the worldwide edition and mostly safe for all devices. Download the RUU, connect your phone(in the bootloader mode) and run the .exe from the computer. Follow the on-screen instructions then. The phone should return to stock after the complete setup has run and you can try the AAHK again.

The other method is to unlock your bootloader via the HTCDEV method and flash a recovery and then flash a rooted ROM. The HTCDEV method is not good one for various reasons but it might prove easier.

Go to www.htcdev.com for using that method for bootloader unlock.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NipzBGD:
Yes, I had enabled USB debugging. I'll try the RUU trick and let you know how I get on. And thanks for your help.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
No worries. :)

There might be also a way to S-OFF from the bootloader and fastboot and I think Glevitan might help you with that. But since he's not around at the moment and you're kinda worried I'll say the RUU way is the best option as of now.

---------- Post added at 02:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 AM ----------

Also.. this post here will help you with the HTCDEV method if you go for that.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NipzBGD:
I downloaded the RUU overnight as it took a few hours. I've just ran it and even though I selected the Orange UK one from that list, it started the process and then said it was the wrong RUU and to please download the correct one. I'm now downloading a WWE one to try. There's a few different ones so here's hoping! ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NipzBGD:
It worked. Success! Installed that, ran AAHK again, and it ran through no problem this time. Installed JB (randomblames Jellytime), flashed the GAPPS and all is good. He now has a working phone. If I could buy you a drink then I would! Many many many thanks for your help and patience!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
:) I'm glad I could help. And I appreciate the gesture but really.. no need to buy me a drink.. :) We're all here to help each other.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] pimiscool2:
I had RazoDroiD 2.5 installed on my ace, but I didn't like it, so I reverted it back to the stock rom. The problem is, the kernel that was build in RazoDroiD is still on my phone. I did make a back-up from the original rom, but somehow it didn't back-up the kernel (maybe I'm to noob with that, but CWR doesn't have an option to do that, so I assumed that it did that when you make a normal back-up).

I searched on the internet for the default kernel, but couldn't find one. Am I screwed now, or is there a way to revert it to the stock kernel? I hope someone can help me.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Alucard1989pl:
If you want to back to stock(original) kernel install rom with Odin flasher ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] ZakooZ:
Flashing your firmware with odin (http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3) and restoring it will most likely work.

The kernel image is probably not backed up by CWM, as it is hidden a bit deeper in the phone storage
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] pimiscool2:
Ok thank you. That must be the reason then. Will try it out. If it not works, I'll keep the current kernel, not a big deal.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Bert98:
Wait, no need to reflash the whole phone. Just go to the kernel's thread, there is a stock_xxlh2 zip file, it works :) it restores only the kernel ;)
