Question...

So, when sending it to HTC, should we be honest and tell them what actually happened or just play dumb and say that the phone just suddenly won't power on?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
My gues is that they have a tool that they use to reveal all the partitions. When/if they do look at the code for the partition they will se it's wrong, therefore question as to why, since the only way a partition can be rewritten is only while rooted. Then you'll have to pay for the fix.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Actually from what I've heard they replace the motherboard with no questions asked..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
With dev sites like this you think they would try and look at the code for each partition.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Nah. If they feel like it, they can just deny you warranty service because you used htc dev unlock.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
You don't need HTCdev for all HTC phones though. :p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
Looks like I'm going to have to follow this guide. Didn't really trust JET. got stuck at "waiting for device" for 15min-ish. Even held the power down for 10-15 seconds. Still nothing, so i'm doing it the manual way.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
P4 is the extended partition table. When you blow it away, you break the device. Short of tools being released to ref lash from scratch in qpst, this type of unbrick isn't gonna happen anytime soon. Or ever.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lucentworld:
So it seems like only JTAG can save the 2.20 EVITA?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
That's what it's starting to look like. I think Grim is going to test out a JTAG sometime in the near future? Correct me if I'm wrong on that one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
If i can get ahold of an extra one. Yes, I'd try.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] minimac21234:
Hey grim, I just wanted to say thank you for your efforts so far. Us idiots that didn't read properly deserve the headaches we have. That being said, if you need a device to work with, I would be able to mail you mine to try out if you want. It already has a cracked screen from being left on the roof of my car, so it's essentially useless even for parts right now. Let me know if you want to give it a go.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
I'll get back to you on that. I'd need to research some things so I am not like :confused: o.o when it gets here
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] =JKT=:
funkym0nk3y found the JTAG pinout for Jewel here. Word on the street (google) is that the pinout config should be layed out in a similar way, even if the rest of the board is different (and I assure you from seeing my mainboard and the jewel board pictured, that they are quite different.)

But even if the pad layout is different, once a manufacturer pinout is known, you can (theoretically) cross reference the known voltage/resistance behaviour to determine which pins are which.

I was tearing apart my phone again to see if the pads looked the same, but there was a shield around the chipset that I couldn't see how to take off. Anyone know how to remove the metal housing shown in the picture?

Edit: Also, my two JTAG leads fell through. Neither of those guys are returning my emails anymore. What a bummer.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
The small indents going around the shield need to be lightly pryed and lifted. There is no adhesive or anything so they desperate very easily. Usually you lightly pry one, and two or three seperate. Move to the next and work your way around.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] =JKT=:
Oh sweet. That's kind of what I figured, but I make a rule to not mess around unless I feel pretty confident that it's going to work out hah. No adhesive is good.

If I get a chance tomorrow I'll crack it open.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lucentworld:
Oh so the JTAG guys don't reply you anymore?Maybe you can go to their place...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
just looking around on google and found this.

http://www.androidnova.org/unbrick-your-hard-bricked-smartphone/

anyone tried it..?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mbh87:
A jig? Pretty sure they are only for Samsung phones.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
It was an idea... Some dude was talking about to set it up for the HOX in the comments.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] minimac21234:
I started doing some searching around google, and came accross this ad on ebay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/JTAG-REPAIR...961?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item337da868c1

It says in the description that the HTC One X/XL and Samsung Galaxy S III are now supported. Can anyone decipher what they may be doing to be able to fix it?

-Mike
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Probably hooking up to the circuits and accessing the debugging from the CPU and rewriting the firmware.. hard to say, there's probably a few different things they can be doing
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
Just thought of this.

In my link they were using it to force it into download mode, could they mean QDL? If so we would still have to reveal the partitions?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
QDL = download mode

Simply forcing it into QDL by shorting a wire does nothing. Partitions don't reveal
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
That's exactly what I thought. And since an ICJ flash won't reveal the partitions, we don't know which they would be? Partitions being sdX(x being whatever letter it could be). Am I correct? Just trying to understand where you're at.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
It doesn't matter that they don't reveal, we could always guess.. remove all USB devices and its most likely at sdb or sdc.. what matters that the partitions never become writable so they don't reveal.. and they don't reveal because they aren't *there*
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
That makes more sense now. Okay.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Basically they don't reveal because they don't become writable since its pretty much destroyed
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
how does flashing a ROM destroy partitions like this... If our partitions are write protected then how does ICJ get past that write protection and rewrite them...?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
P4,5,6,7 is what it overwrites.. they are not protected. I'm assuming it doesn't get far enough into the boot chain due to the partition failures so it just stops

And if you dd a fully null p4 to your phone it will never turn on again..

Fully null being every bit of information is replaced with a 0
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
The partitions don't exist unless they enumerate. It would be equivalent of plugging in a USB cable with nothing on the opposite end. They're not writable because they are not there.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
http://tjworld.net/wiki/Android/HTC/Vision/BootProcess

Googled a bit and found this page. I don't know if some things in here have already been tried or you know they don't work since there isn't any life in the device.

If I'm throwing random things at you, you can tell me to stop. Lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
We have an msm8960 not msm7x30..

Similar process but not identical
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
msm8960 or msm8960T?

And I've seen a few docs around the web that say "msm8x60". I'm assuming that would be a totally different one?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
8960
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] superchilpil:
Well I sent them a question asking if they could s off the phone as well and they said yes
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
I've come across several docs saying something about using the Trace32 from LauterBach. I've tried searching for a way to use it or maybe get a concrete idea of what that actually is but, have failed to find anything. From the looks of it, it looks like a JTAG emulator or something.

I've also been bouncing around here: http://www.52rd.com/bbs/Forum_144_1_0.html It's chinese and to download anything form there you have to register, but for some reason it won't except my email.... -.- There are guides and almost anything you could think of there.

And you might even have a look here: http://www.jtagbox.com/tag/dll/ this actually looks helpful. Since our phones are eMMC, would it be possible to force QHUSB_DLOAD with the RIFF Manager? (I am assuming we aren't able to write to the partitions because it's not in QHUSB_DLOAD mode, here)

If you want to take a look at the RIFF Manager, I have the setup.exe in my dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/s/8fgsayf77vnje5d/RiffSetup.exe

Has anyone tried to decompile ICJ and examine the code to try and find a piece of code that is effecting the bootloader? Might be able to find something from it. Or find the reason why the partitions aren't enumerating. Just a thought, then again... Its never a good thing when I think sometimes.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] darkgoth678:
Hello,

I'd like to just sare my experience here so that others might have something to compare to.

I had an AT&T One X with 2.20 and I made the boo boo to install SlimBean onto it and as soon as I pressed restart in my recovery instantly did it brick. No LED, no power, no capacitive button lights, nothing.

Wound up here beucase I noticed that the phone was stuck in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode. I attempted the instructions on OP and I knew I was a goner when the Terminal in Ubuntu wouldn't spit out my numerized partitions. I even attempted to just guess at its location at one point but with no avail.

While using my trusty Xperia X10 to at least recieve calls, I made my way to the AT&T Device Support Center in my state (which was nearby thank god) and gave them the wonderfully legit story of "I was charging it up at night and when I woke up the next morning it wasn't doing anything" The rep procedded to tell me "oh okay no problem let me just try afew things to see if I can get it to come on and if not, I can just exchange it for you since you're still under warranty." He ended up not being able to get it to turn on and exchanged it for me for a refurbished one.

Didn't give me any crap about it being in Download mode, nothing just exchanged.

So for anyone out there who is thinking of throwing in the towel and is in 2.20. I'm pretty sure as long as you don't outright tell them what you did and your phone is not water damaged or physically damaged, they'll switch it out for you.

[LG Optimus 2x] mattyfog:
What I want is to have more space in order to use all internal memory for apps. If it means that I have to merge those partition, yes I want do that :)

I find weird that if you move apps to sd, you will have part of data app of one partition, and the other part on another partition. Isn't it? I believe of course there are some reasons behind that, but I find very confusing and useless to have data divided into 3 partition (2 internal + external sd)

Inviato dal mio LG-P990 con Tapatalk 2
[LG Optimus 2x] Rayman96:
It might be possible, as you also have to disable mounting internal sd, so system will only see phone's memory and as card.

Sent from LG 2X using Tapatalk 3 Beta
[LG Optimus 2x] mattyfog:
How? :D Or any other solutions?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rayman96:
You have to repartition throuht ADB Bridge, and in rom you have to disable mounting for internal sd (sure in vold.fstab, but maybe also somewhere else).

There's a chance to get big /data partition then as android must have it.

P.S that's only theory but if ADB is capable in partitioning it might work. Also note that partitions might lose their data.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
Hi,

I know cwm is NOT supposed to backup the sdcard but just /system, /data and a few other small partitions.

On my nexus 7 I have hardly any data, apps plus data are under 1G but a single cwm backup (I have just one backup) takes 2.8GB.

Its as though its backing up the sdcard as well as the size of the backup seems to be about right for an entire backup including the sdcard.

I wonder if the fact /data and /sdcard are actually accessing the same real storage (/sdcard sits on internal storage) is confusing cwm.

Has anyone else noticed this.

If its not the case then why is the backup so large.

BTW I know im not doing anything stupid like miscalculating the amount of data and apps etc.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
I think the problem was I still had old backup blobs from deleted cwm backups. Looks like just deleting the backup via cwm doesn't delete the blobs, I had to chose the option to free nandroid space.

However I've switched to twrp now anyway as I don't like the way cwm uses these blobs. I find it much better to have each backup completely separate and then I can copy an individual backup off the system and store elsewhere.

I also find thousands of blobs/files slows things down when using apps to manage the internal sdcard filesystem

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mr_wrong_0:
Yeah I have noticed that mine does that too. I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's likely an ambient light sensor, but I don't know why it would glow. Also mine only does it when the phone is asleep once you turn on the screen it goes away.

It the light sensor. If you guys have auto brightness enabled its always glowing to detect the light and adjust the screen brightness accordingly

That makes sense. I was thinking it was because I had the hand over the sensor notification thingy turned on.
