when you press power button nothing happens? if not try to plug in the charging ping and see charging led turns on or not.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
You shouldn't have run the Hack Kit as you were already running a custom rom. Hack Kit is just for stock devices. You should be able to boot in hboot. If you are S-OFF, then re flash recovery and then a custom rom. If you have an unlocked bootloader, then reflash a custom recovery again and then flash the custom rom and the boot.img file from fastboot.

Find more information in the guide in my signature. :good:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
What about what it says above all that? Have you rooted your phone with HTCDEV or with AAHK in the past?

EDIT: semantics, but I just realized that I mistyped; it's not "rooting," it's called "unlocking the bootloader."
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royalrose:
sorry i can't remember but it wasn't aahk maybe it was htcdev.

above them it writes this:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
You are S-OFF, so it was AAHK. You just need to flash a recovery; then, from the recovery, you can flash a ROM. Instructions for doing so are in glevitan's guide linked in his signature, or found on the Ace Think Tank thread (linked in my and his signature) in the PDF in post #7.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royalrose:
sorry bro

thanks alot for your tips but would you please tell me how can i flash a recovery??

i could'nt find it in pages you said.

i know i put you in a big truble but please help me to turn on my phone again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
On the bottom of page 9. Starting at "S-OFF no custom recovery."
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
It's ok that nothing happens as you have deleted recovery. Are you S-OFF, what does the bootloader says in the top left corner? (ACE PVT....)

You have to flash recovery from fastboot as stated in the guide in my signature.

it was going right until 7th command.

Everything still apply with the LGOG.

So, basicaly, what it tells us is that you can use an external microphone with an adaptator.

For the adaptator, you can make one yourself,

find the Philips DVDP01 like this one and use only the adapter

Or use the 3.5mm trrs to 3 RCA that can be used for portable DVD player, then use an adaptater to go from RCA to whatever you need.

What this means, also, is that you can use the "line in" of the 4 connector to plug whatever you want for your video.

Il most likely make the adapter with the needed connector in the current weeks, I'll keep you posted on the "How To"

Hi all, I hate first posts being a question, but needs must!

I bought a cheap 5" chinese phone thats running 4.0.4 but I have a little problem.

I bought a 32GB SD Card to go in it as well and the phone mounts it fine, however the camera says insert a card when I select storage>External

and the gallery see's the folders but not the contents.

However I can watch all the vids and pics if I use ES Explorer to navigate around.

I think the path isn't mapped correctly so apps arn't seeing it?

Any ideas?

Oh, Link2SD says for the camera app:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zenshiro:
Hi. Would be great if anyone could help as I bricked[?] my phone earlier today.

So here's what happened.

I was on SweetRomV1 JB previously and wanted to flash back to ICS RRv12.

So I stupidly flashed Abyss Kernel from my recovery forgetting that it doesn't support JB rom.

So the CWM started refreshing itself, stopping me from surfing the menu up and down.

I pulled out the battery, place it back in. The phone started up, but the screen was empty/blank/black.

Searched on the net then I realized Abyss Kernel doesn't support JB.

So under some forumer advice, I flashed a Stock ICS Rom using PC odin.

This time, I can access recovery with no problem. However I'm still stuck, the phone is not rebooting.

I'm stuck at the Samsung logo.

So I decided to flash a new kernel using PC odin and a new rom.

I flashed SpeedMod K3-15 using Pc odin and in recovery, I flashed the RRv12 rom.

Now it's still loading the boot animation.

I'm really at a loss now. Can anyone help?

I can access download mode and recovery. But I can't place files into my ext_sd because I can't boot up my phone.

Can anyone help me to get my phone working again?

Thanks in advance.

When I boot up, it shows that battery is disconnected. So I did a power off, and pulled out the battery. Used the method online, dropped the battery from around 2 feet high.

When I place the battery in again, I'm stuck AGAIN at the boot animation.

[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
Hi,

I am a Classic Desire owner and also author of several roms for bravo. I was planning to upgrade to Desire X as it looks pretty good to me.

I know the compromises:

1. Camera video = 480p limit

2. No compass

3. No front camera

But the only thing which concerns me is, i have a collection of 720p videos, and i want to transfer it to desire x once i get it, so do i have to convert all of them to 480p via some convertor/? OR i can use MX Player or other market app to atleast RUN the 720p videos ???

Please i need feedback. I know playing 720p on 480p display is serving no additional purpose, but still i dont wanna convert all videos which i download on my pc.

Thanks

Yasir
[HTC Desire X] infernal77:
Tested it out for you, got a 720p clip from youtube on my sdcard and used mxplayer to play it...no problems whatsoever, no lagging or hickups*
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
Just what I needed to know. Hope to be on your forum soon. If proto device and vendor are properly created by some one, then I promise Aokp cm9/10 and PA etc.

Anyways.

Regards

Yasir
[HTC Desire X] CrysiZ:
I did try 720P mkv and those do tend to lag,but maybe with time when we get some custom rom aka optimization the performance will improve.
[HTC Desire X] infernal77:
I think as far as the DX's hardware goes, it's perfectly capable of playing 720p and up. I tested 480x352, 480x360, 720p and 1080p clips in different formats and both streaming and from storage. Streaming, in Youtube app, I havent seen any problems like out of sync audio/video, lagging or hickups. From storage, a lot depends on the media player and on the clip format. MXPlayer will play a 720p (and higher res) clip in FLV format perfect.
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
Classic desire wasn't able to record natively at 720p but some kernel Dev found a way to do it. I'm just surprised DX Dev hasn't kicked in properly as its a great device ( not flagship of course).

Anyways What about people complaining of random reboots? Is it only rare or many have noticed?

Reviews are generally very positive and I don't care about NFC and front camera. The s4 play dual core is among the lowest performer in its class, but if it beats a gnex, that's fine by me.

Compass is a compromise I have to make though. Other than that it's all fine.
[HTC Desire X] infernal77:
Yea, more so because you can pretty much count on the Desire X getting updates to JB and full sense. The NFC and front camera are no problem for me either, I don't see myself doing video conference calls on my phone lol. Some people have said their phone rebooted randomly, but I don't think it's a general problem when you get the rooting right from scratch, use the right apps and don't try to freeze essential system apps. If you root just unlocking the bootloader, flashing the CWM 6.1.0.5 that's available, then busybox and SuperUser 3.1.3, you're good. No reboots here.

As to the performance, I think these Quadrant tests I just did, say enough.

Without vsync, I/O stats and enhanced sysctl (pimpmyrom) :

[HTC Desire X] panos_ts:
I own Desire X for about two weeks, and I haven't had a single reboot. The device is unrooted with official ROM though...

Unfortunately, compass is a huge drawback for me. Yesterday for example, I had to use the GPS while I was driving, and it took me a couple of secs to understand my direction on the road...

Other than that, I have to say that I like this device, and as a Desire user (for the past two years), I have to say that it was an upgrade that worth every single Euro...
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
hi

There is no Google Nav yet in our country, so i can live with just having directions atm.

I read through the forums and SuperSU was suspected to cause random reboots. My decision is final. Buying this device :good::good::good:

hi i have treid all the video players mrom marketplace including mx player not able to play 720p videos(Imkv or otherwise) without stuttering or out of sync,,i liked this phone very much however not able to play videos is rendiering it useless as multimedia player..even my blackberry cud play these videos..wht seems to be problem dual core not sufficient enough ?

any sloultion
[HTC Desire X] infernal77:
From my own tests, a lot depends on the format and the media player. I have to say I'm not very impressed by most of the media players for Android out there. Even the beta VLC for my old iPhone 3GS was better. Hardware wise the Desire X is good enough to play them, like you say.

Sent from my awesome fridge
[HTC Desire X] infernal77:
I think the Desire X is perfectly able to play 720p, it just depends on the clip, your own setup (background apps,..) and the media player apps out there. I just watched a 720p clip in mkv format without problem. I run V6 Supercharger which speeds up my phone a lot though :)
[HTC Desire X] MaartenXDA:
SuperCharger works for you? With me it's gone after a reboot
[HTC Desire X] infernal77:
It is a bit hit and miss after a reboot : sometimes it loads automatically (smanager run as root and at boot), sometimes I have to rerun the 99supercharger script again, but that's not a biggie. I have it in /data/local (doesn't erase) You can check if it's running : there will be a ran-supercharger log file or you can run the script and it will tell you if the settings are already applied or not. I also patched the services.jar/odex file using zeppelinrox's other tool and then baked the new services.jar/odex in my debloated rom.

[HTC Desire X] rey71ng:
Hi Guys, I'm newbie here, so pls say me if I do smth wrong, ok?

First of all I'd like to ask if installing codecs for MX Player will help to play 720p? There are few variants ( I mean armv7 and armv7neon)

Also, I couldn't play any video (mp4 and mkv) with hardware decoding, only software. Nokia 701 played the same video w/o any lags on its native video player. So, Is there any way to use hardware(+) decoding? I'm using a free version of MX Player, but if the PRO version lets videos to be played smoothly and w/o any lags, pls say it to me, I think it will be worth its money

I've just downloaded video to my DX with such specs - 1280x720, 38Mb, Video bitrate - 1,5Mbits/sec and AAC audio 147kbits/sec, and it still lags on my Sandisk 32Gb class 4
[HTC Desire X] nlooooo:
And it will lag. For now DesX supports only 480p video. However in the future with next updates it may get HD support. The same was with Desire (Bravo), it didn't have HD support with Eclair but it did get with Froyo.

Plus, when there is a device with same chipset and similar hardware we will be able to take hardware codecs from it.
[HTC Desire X] w1040:
just watched hangover 2 in 720p .mkv format. playable but laggy, and audio and video out of sync. even with hw decoding with mx player.

i think the limit for desire x is 720p but in .mp4 format

never had a problem watching videos with that :D
[HTC Desire X] ayyu3m:
what happens if you switch to SW decoding? I watched quite a few 720p mkv, and i think if DX is upto using SW decoding mode, than for me its no biggy.
[HTC Desire X] nlooooo:
You're wrong, MX doesn't use hw decoding for 720p, it's automaticly disabled so it passes to sw decoding.

Limit is 480p, google it, if you can't play it with stock player than it's not supported, doesn't matter what format.
[HTC Desire X] rey71ng:
So, we just have to wait for off. support of 720p, or smb's hands that can allow 720p to be played on DX:confused:
[HTC Desire X] w1040:
Just watched hangover 2 again but for some reason, no more audio and video out of sync anymore. It's playing great! Sorry my bad its not .mkv it was .avi

Check this out. Btw, this video runs fairly good

I didn't know why the first time I ran the video, sound and video were out of sync and lags. Tried the second time, it works flawless.
[HTC Desire X] w1040:
Lol sorry. It was 720p in .avi format. And it runs quite good.
[HTC Desire X] rey71ng:
The resolution is not even 480p. :rolleyes:
[HTC Desire X] w1040:
Lol idk :D
[HTC Desire X] nlooooo:
Look at the resolution for your video it's not HD, it needs to be at least 1200x720 to be HD.

There was a trick with Desire AOSP roms (CM, MIUI) cause they didn't have official support for HD video, to take some codec file from N1 and copy it to lib folder, replacing the original one. With that HD hw decoding was enabled. Maybe it can be done with Desire X.
[HTC Desire X] rey71ng:
As I know MX player allows user to use his own ffmpeg codecs. Maybe we should try looking for some info in this way?

In there it says if its EVER been custom romed, this is how Samsung checks if your under warranty or not.

I wouldnt worry about root , when you get the phone run an emergency restore from KIES software to erase any traces of the owner's data. you could be getting key logged and other nasty stuff if you dont.
