[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ioish:
Dear all,

I have flashed my MZ605 (32GB) using EOS 3.0 for MZ601 with TWRP and that has worked quite well for some time, but last week I was fiddling with the navigation app and the tablet suddenly froze. The only way to get it back to life was doing a volume-up+power. Now the system still boots: i get to the lock screen, but as soon as I unlock (no password, just swiping to the right), I receive a shower of f/c messages and no icons apear. The settings screen still seems to work, but since the stream of f/c messages doesn't stop, it's very hard to do anything at all. I tried all the standard stuff first: Flashing EOS 3.0 using TWRP and Factory Reset: It seems to do nothing at all. Everything stays the same! When trying to delete cache, userdata, etc. Right after displaying the message "updating partition details", it complains that it is not able to access certain files in /data/media (a bunch of mp3 files)

Figuring that something must be wrong with the filesystem, I fired up the console of TWRP and did an e2fsck (e2fsck -vfcp) on partition 8,9 and 10, resulting simply in "unable to set superblock flags". I tried formatting the thing by hand but when doing mke2fs, it acts like it it's creating the fs (you see the numbers fly by), but when mounting the fs again, nothing changed at all!

About the partition table: Accessing the kernel messages (dmesg) with ADB says that the primary gpt table is corrupt and will try to use the backup table. It then merrily continues booting. However, when checking the partition table with gdisk (using ADB): it says nothing is present. Using the recovery options show that the primary table contains garbage and the backup partition table doesn't seem to contain anything. :S This contrasts with the fact that kernel still sees the partitions and that they are mountable both when booting normally as well as with TWRP

As a last resort I downloaded RSDLite 5.7 and the most recent SBF image. It flashes the whole thing without any errors, but when booting the system: nothing changed at all???

For the tl;dr people: Sorry! In a nutshell: fs seems to be frozen: mke2fs does nothing, fastboot flash does nothing and even sbf flash doesn't do anything at all. However the device still boots, albeit with a shower of f/c on unlock screen.

Any suggestions what to? I have been googling for many days now and reading this forum. Nothing has helped so far... :(

My next try would be to redefine the gpt partition table using gdisk and then hope that'll fix the frozen that. After that I would of course do a wipe all and flash a new ROM. The problem is, I can't find the standard partition layout details for the Xoom anywhere, nor do I have any other ideas what to do in case this does not work :(

If anyone has any hint or idea, please let me know. Thanks!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ioish:
Nobody? :(

If anyone could please tell me their partition layout, like start - end - type for each partition. It'd really appreciate it!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkd:
Hello,

have you fixed it ?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ioish:
Nope

Unfortunately I haven't been able to fix it. I still have the tablet though, hoping that one day I will come across a fix. I have two theories as to what may have caused it:

1) Physicalically the write pin of the internal flash got disconnected

2) Somehow a readonly command was send to the flash and made it read-only. I don't know if this is possible neither how to undo it.

If you have a solution, please let me know. I'm also willing to do tests and experiments to try to solve the problem.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkd:

[Nexus 4 General] tonebone:
IS NOT POSSIBLE!!!! Don't make the the mistake I did by going to Target and buying $400 worth of gift cards to get home and find out that they are not usable for device purchase. Maybe that should be in bold letters on the play store. NOT COOL.

Just an FYI
[Nexus 4 General] knapz:
Weird that it excludes things such as hardware.
[Nexus 4 General] jarjar124:
if u read the back...it says not able to be used for buying devices or similar to that..
[Nexus 4 General] supersain08:
Lol did you buy 400 dollar worth non refundable of play store gift cards?
[Nexus 4 General] mrvirginia:
non-refundable?! ouch :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] ap3604:
Thanks for the info but just curious:

Why did you buy $400 worth of gift cards to buy the Nexus instead of simply using a credit / debit card?

The only reason I could think of is you don't have a credit / debit card and paid $400 cash so you have a card to order it with correct?
[Nexus 4 General] tweaked:
Dam...that is a harsh lesson. :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] tonebone:
lol I never said they were non refundable, I didn't scratch the back off, so I got all my money back and put it in my checking account ready to purchase the Nexus 4 tonight.

I seriously would have gone ape spit over this if they were non refundable.

Thanks for not openly laughing at me.
[Nexus 4 General] poopymt3g:
Am i the only one that finds buying $400 in play cards for the nexus a retarded alternative to using a debit card?
[Nexus 4 General] Jasonhunterx:
Logic would say that it would work but it doesn't so I wouldn't call it retarded and some people just don't like using bank accounts to pay for stuff
[Nexus 4 General] tonebone:
It was more of a trial, I wanted to see if it would work because I thought I would just drop 50 bucks a month into my google play account and then when I had enough I could just purchase something new, like the nexus 10.

I do have debit, credit cards, but the money was in my paypal. So I used my Paypal debit card to purchase the cards.

Basically it was an exercise in futility, and wanted to let other people know so that if they do have a ton of money in their google play account and are looking to use it to purchase devices on the play store its not possible...
[Nexus 4 General] tonebone:
There is no need for name calling, I mean cmon man, just because I don't drive the same way you do doesn't mean that you are the best driver and I am Retarded. Different strokes for different folks.

[Nexus 4 General] mrvirginia:
to be very specific, he didn't actually call him retarded, just the action of doing what he did. big difference imo ;)

OT: glad to hear you were able to get your money back mate. hopefully your lesson will help others not make the same mistake :)
[Nexus 4 General] YoungAceAtlanta:
Well if you read when Google released the gift cards they said you couldn't buy devices with them..

I feel sorry for you if you bought $400 worth of gift cards
[Nexus 4 General] tonebone:
Its all good man I got my money back and I must have missed that announcement when they released the cards.

The only thing I lost was about an hour out of my day.

Really all I wanted was to warn people if they had the same idea, not cause a whole ruckus!

Richard Vernon: What was that ruckus?

Andrew Clark: Uh, what ruckus?

Richard Vernon: I was just in my office and I heard a ruckus.

Brian Johnson: Could you describe the ruckus, sir?

LOL
[Nexus 4 General] mrbkkt1:
I don't see why you shouldn't be able to buy it that way.

Kind of lame IMHO.
[Nexus 4 General] YoungAceAtlanta:
I know you didn't buy $400 worth of gift cards, just was saying..
[Nexus 4 General] espionage724:
I actually was interested in doing this, but I sent an email asking Google if this was possible before trying such. Got this as a response:
[Nexus 4 General] -=chad=-:
For those that don't know...with Target, you get 5% off of purchases with a Target Credit or Debit card, plus you can use an additional 5% off coupon they send you for shopping there frequently.

I almost did the same thing, but did catch that devices weren't allowed to be purchased with gift cards before I went out and bought them.

Good idea, just too bad the policy is against us on this one. It'd have been nice to get 10% off :)
[Nexus 4 General] garfnodie:
I came across this thread after searching for using Google gift cards to buy hardware, sad to see that you can't.

I ran into something similar recently, only with Amazon. You see, I deliver pizza and some weeks can rack up quite a stack of cash, and just to be safe as far as the IRS is concerned, I never deposit tips money into any kind of an account. I thought I would go buy an Amazon gift card at the store, and then use that for Amazon Prime, but you can't use gift cards for Prime. Was really pissed about it, but thankfully, since I'm a student, it was only a $40 card, and that $40 on my account came in handy later anyway when I needed to order something else from Amazon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jobankler:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
You could say they're probably close to RC builds, they have released the M builds which have been stable ones as well but only after the kinks are taken out then RC can be on the roll and not to mention maybe this week there will be more dumps for AOSP so you may be seeing more updates so it'll be back on the grind :D

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Gabeloooooo:
I've setup my phone to automatically read me everything I have on my calendar either with TASKER or with NFC stickers.

The way I set this up is clunky, but works great:

- Home computer is always on 24/7, so I have a perl script run every hour that downloads my google calendar XML file, parses and outputs a textfile ready to be TTS spoken. (I also download an ICAL file from TV Calendar so I get my tv shows read to me as well).

- That file is on a windows shared folder.

- Using Tasker and FolderSync, I fetch the file at a time of my choosing and read it out loud with SPEAK command in tasker.

Anyone does something similar? Do you guys know of a phone only way of doing similar thing? Being able to do this stuff makes me love android like crazy!

PS - I've to admit I'm growing fond of offloading stuff to my pc and simply fetching the output with the phone. Scripting/programming is so much faster on the computer.

Do you guys its a good deal to change my broken s3 for a s2 in good condition? I my s3 works perfectly even with the broken screen, I don't notice it when it's turn on ,but i think will be hard to sell it broken here in mexico because i havent seen the glass only for sale. Here people sell the glass and lcd together and its almost 300dls, so what do you think guys?

Also another guys offered me a white motorola razr brand new
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] baconatorXVI:
You can replace only the glass of you are confident and willing to take the responsibility for potential screen damage.

I cracked my screen, that's the route I'll be taking, it's the cheapest. There's a really good thread in the general section for hire to do it. Also YouTube videos.

Mind you, this is just replacing the glass atop the screen.

Good luck!

even if it was possible, why would you put a hox+ motherboard and battery in a hox case ? or better say why would you change the back cover of a hox+ to hox ?

[Q] Tempted to order the AT&T Lumia 920 unlocked from Expansys, what will be broken?

Because the Rogers Lumia 920 is black only and I am actually a Bell customer here in Canada and I have a decent deal with them without a contract, I am tempted to order the unlocked Lumia 920 from expansys.ca.

However, what will not work if I do that? From a cursory glance at the Internet, it seems that MMS and possibly Internet Tethering may not work. Has anyone tried this yet?
[Nokia Lumia 920] psalmu:
I just saw the category is "unlocked". It would be interesting to know how they can sell unlocked AT&T versions.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Nebulaeus:
Expansys sells unlocked phones :) That's what they do.
[Nokia Lumia 920] charlatan01:
I'd get that in writing or be darn sure you can return it. Then...order and play with it to see. Then report back here :)
[Nokia Lumia 920] Nebulaeus:
I am not at all concerned that it will be available unlocked. I am concerned that all the features of an unlocked Lumia 920 will work on Bell. Specifically in the past users have had issues with MMS and Internet Tethering... I am hoping somebody else has jumped on this device from expansys.ca and can share their experiences.
[Nokia Lumia 920] rajeshr:
BTW, the unlocked version from Expansys Canada is $800. You may want to check out Clove, where it is priced at $630. I would assume that tethering should work on an international unlocked version. I may check out the ones from Clove, rather than buy a (hard to find) Rogers version.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Nebulaeus:
Unless I am mistaken, the international version will not work with Bell's LTE network. Bell requires 1700MHz currently don't they? http://www.clove.co.uk/nokia-lumia-920

The LTE frequencies listed on the Clove website are 800 / 900/ 1800/ 2100 / 2600. The AT&T device does support 1700. I don't want HSPA+ if I can get LTE.
[Nokia Lumia 920] rajeshr:
Good catch!

The LTE Bands listed on the international version are 800/900/1800/2100/2600 while the Rogers version has 700/850/1700/1900/2100.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Nebulaeus:
The AT&T version also supports 700/1700 for LTE:

http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/12/nokia-lumia-920-for-att-review/

Sot it should work. Why are you so sure that Expansys isn't able to unlock the phones? I am hoping to hear back from them tomorrow. The Nexus 4 is starting to look pretty compelling at this point, no hoops to jump through and a great price. I just really like Windows Phone and am excited about it but I do have limits.
[Nokia Lumia 920] charlatan01:
Just a guess, but I think most of the hesitation around unlocking has to do with the fact that there is apparently an AT&T exclusivity agreement, and that sales of unlocked phones is prohibited by that. Nokia really didn't do themselves any favors if this is the case.

I honestly can't believe that Microsoft didn't set it up so you could order them straight from MS, and set it up like the Nexus 4... but then this type of reasoning requires logic, which it seems most companies in this business are completely bereft of.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Nebulaeus:
Oh I know the phone arrives @ AT&T locked. But most carriers will now unlock them for a fee. Rogers charges $50, Bell charges $75. I am assuming that AT&T does something similar, and thus outfits like Expansys can take care of this for you (and take care of importing and other niceties) and sell the phone at a premium? I emailed them about it, hope to hear back soon.
[Nokia Lumia 920] tai4de2:
Windows Phone 8 includes MMS setup now, so there's no need for a Nokia-supplied network setup app and there's little worry about getting MMS working.
[Nokia Lumia 920] rajeshr:
Reports are trickling out that AT&T is refusing to provide unlock codes for the 920's. Not sure how true that information is, but I would be cautious!
[Nokia Lumia 920] Nebulaeus:
So I emailed Expansys, they confirmed the AT&T Lumia 920 IS unlocked. However, reports on the Nokia Canada Facebook page indicate that a user on a different network could NOT get MMS nor tethering to work on an unlocked Rogers 920. I'd imagine that the AT&T would have the same problem. *sigh* almost ready to give up here. Nokia has made it basically almost impossible to get an unlocked Lumia in North America. They obviously hold Canadian customers in contempt. Perhaps they don't even deserve my business. It's too bad its a nice phone :( Super discouraged right now.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ScottYoungE2E:
I totally feel your frustration. I too am with Bell and want a 920. my problem is I want a RED one. and rogers for some insane reason only carries black. (rogers logo color is what? RED)

I have been hunting around for a unlocked RED 920 sense its launch. all I keep finding are the UK versions of the phone.

I have gotten so confused with trying to figure out which phone supports Bell LTE that I may be giving up soon.

I don't want to toss out 6-800 $ for a phone that only partly works. the whole reason I am in the market for a new phone is wifi tethering.

lets see what comes first, nexus 4 in stock or me locating a red 920 for bell network. (heck I would settle for a white one now)
[Nokia Lumia 920] jeromel:
Going by NaviFirm, there's a red Rogers variant. Hope you get that. The Access Point app has worked perfectly for me for tethering and MMS.

Ok so I recently I got a phone off a friend, he said it was from Taiwan but I highly doubt that, and I want to root my phone, but before I do that I need to know what model it is. Under the model name for the phone info section it says "HTC-X710a" I tried searching it and multiple names have come up, HTC Raider 4G, HTC Vivid, HTC Velocity, from most to least common respectively. Is it possible to find the correct model name and carrier it was on using the serial number or imei number, or some other way?

Also, whenever using carrier-specific software to unlock the bootloader or whatever it is, is it asking for the original carrier or the carrier it is currently on?

I have ported greeneyes's sense 4.1 rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1980122) and i will upload the rom, make thread etc in friday because of my slow internet connection.

Currently not working: Wifi (shows error-because of the kernel), Bluetooth (turns on, but wont discover any devices), Camera (stock camera-no, should work with 3rd party apps but i didnt test it), 3g (should also work, but can't add apns-says that sim card is not inserted), there are also a few bugs here and there but nothing big. Everything else works perfectly and the rom is very smooth and stable.

The real problem and the reason i made this thread is because of the kernel i used for this rom, which is outdated aka shakys kernel from his rom (sense 4.0) ...and not the greeneyes's because i dont know how to port kernels, actually i know very little about kernels. Anyway if it werent for shakys kernel i wouldnt be able to port this rom, @shaky thanks.

So if anyone is interested in this rom he could help with kernel and these bugs, any tips and suggestions are welcome!

After having root my LG G2X phone and trying out some roms, I decided to go back to my original stock android 2.3.3 gingerbread because I didn't like the battery life that I got from the other roms. Unfortunately after having unroot the phone and going back to stock android 2.3.3 gingerbread, to my shocking suprise the IMEI number and Baseband info is gone. Took it to Tmobile and they say they can't do anything about it. Called LG techs and they say they can't do anything about it either. Now I can't make calls nor can I make wifi calls either. Can anyone please help guide me on how to fix the missing IMEI number and missing Baseband info. I went to a lot of phone shop repairs and they all say my LG G2X phone is software broken - it's a useless piece of junk now as they told me.

I already tried re-rooting the phone and trying out different roms but no matter which rom I use they all show the missing IMEI number and displays the Baseband Unknown. Right now as I am typing this I have the Domination rom install on my phone.
