[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Every single rezound user should know this trick. I didn't invent the trick, I wish I could give credit to whoever did.

This process is for those times when you have a bad flash, or maybe you already wiped your phone, then accidentally rebooted with no rom, and there's an old PH98IMG.zip on your sdcard. Obviously, a micro sd card USB adapter or reader would be ideal. This is just a trick for when you're out shopping with the wife and bored out of your mind, and you make a boo boo. Or maybe you're driving and don't have time to drive home and either use a card reader or adb/fastboot.

Why It Works: HBoot checks for a PH98IMG.zip file when it boots. Once it's booted to hboot it's not checking anymore. So if you can boot to hboot and then attach the storage with the PH98IMG.zip, it will never know its there.

Keep in mind, different people have different questions so I was very detailed. The process only takes 30 seconds or so.

Step 1 - Remove battery cover. Place the phone on a soft clean surface face down and slide the micro sd card out. Slide it slowly and you'll feel different "steps" of tension. Now slide the card into the slot in the casing, just far enough to be in place like in the photo, but not plugged in with contacts touching.

Step 2 - Notice in the Photo for step 2 the four gold spring point contacts. You will see a matching set of female contacts on the battery. This is the reason that we can successfully pull this off along with the phones layout. Thos gold pins are important because you want to set the bottom of the battery in place so the contacts are connected but you're holding the battery up at an angle to have access to the sd card.

At this time place the phone upside down in your left hand, the power button facing towards you.

Step 3 - Set the battery contacts in place against those 4 gold spring contacts on the phone, use your thumb to hold the battery up above the sdcard leaving clearance for your finger

Step 4 - Now that you've got the phone and battery in place, adjust the phone so that you're comfortable and applying even pressure and can access the power vol down buttons at the same time

Step 5 - While holding the volume down button (I use my left pinky because its convenient with my grip and layout) press the power button and release it.

Step 6 - The phone should boot to hboot, you'll probably feel a vibration and you will see the white screen, in a dark room I simply watch for my palm to light up

Step 7 - Now HBoot is booted, use a finger to press the sdcard into place, and set the battery down into the tray while keeping even pressure so all four contacts remain touching.

You can now turn your phone over and you will see the recovery option, with amon ra recovery go to Developer Menu/ Hboot Kernel Zip Menu and select "Delete Hboot PXXXIMG.zip from sdcard" and press power to confirm.

I'm not responsible for what you damage
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
Nice!

I've had to do this before. My phone was in a boot loop and I PH98IMG.zip on my sdcard when I was out on the road. It sucks!
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
With the disclaimer that this should only be done when at a complete stop in a parking lot not a public roadway so as not to put anyone in danger, this little trick is a life saver when you're driving and flashing.

I've had to do this a few times. It's a PITA but it works great.
[HTC Rezound] localceleb:
This does in fact work and comes in quite handy, but can take some practice and precision to get it down. :good:
[HTC Rezound] scubasteve85:
Here's a trick I also found.

Remove the SD card.

Insert the battery like normal.

Plug the phone into a charging source.

Boot to hboot.

Remove the battery. Only in hboot will the phone stay on without the battery if it is plugged into a charger.

Insert the SD card.

Insert the battery.

Done.

I was once doing this in the bathroom at work my buddy walked in and said what did you do now lol
[HTC Rezound] 4cloud9:
That's a very useful trick, Thanks for pointing it out. I use to hate that about the Thunderbolt, I got screwed one time got to work and flashed my phone stuck in boot loop. Rebooted using volume and power and basically got stuck w'no computer in site, and I really needed my phone that day too.
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
From now on I will reference this as the Colonel Sanders King James Process
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Let's just call it the KFC method. :D
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
To help a little more. You can boot into hboot without a battery connected if your near a charger or pc and have the cable handy.

im from pr and bougth a galaxy w t679 from claro and im trying to find roms for it but seems to finds either galaxy w i8150 or exhibit t679 it seems that the exhibit is the same but can i flash things from exhibit tmobile? being a cellphone from claro will everything work?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] N3Ti:
What does your 'about phone' says?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] N3Ti:
If it says 679 then it is likely to be exhibit varient. If it says i8150 then it is more likely galaxy w varient. Go to setting and then about phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] bubuphonik:
rigth what worries me its the system seein that exhibit is from t mobile and t mobiles use other bands

examples

here in pr claro pr and att can switch phones without no problems but if i plug a tmobile sim card into a att or claro phones the internet got stuck at edge (problems with the bands ) the question will be will a rom from the exhibit contains things from tmobile ?

should i just flash 679 roms ?

i hate when carrier puts their own names to handsets

thanx for the reply
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] bubuphonik:
this is what my about phone have

what ya think should i man up and flash the exhibits roms?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] N3Ti:
Make backup first if you ever decide to flash custom rom. that way you can go back where you were.

Do not flash tmobile stock or stock rooted or peach if you are worried about baseband as these will replace your current baseband with t-mobile one. So you will have to stay with cm9/10 related group of rom.

We have people from Canada flashing roms here just fine. I guess you may be the first one from pr. So decide if you want to take the risk.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] NomadSpin:
I looked around google but havent found a definitive answer. If you do flash post back and let us know how its working.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Bloodflame:
There has been a little confusion, so allow me to clear it up once again :p SGH-T679M is marketed in Canada as the Samsung Galaxy W 4G by Bell Mobility. With the exception of the M in it's model number, it is precisely the same as T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G and it's former Samsung Exhibit II 4G monikor. It seems apparent that your carrier is doing the same thing. In other words, you're in the proper forum as long as your About Phone says T679 - stay away from the I8150 forum if you don't want to brick your phone ;) (Well, you can go ahead and read - just don't flash anything from there)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] bubuphonik:
ok so cm9 works like a charm

wonder if the others roms will to. i like the status bar toggles
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tazmaniondvl:
If one works chances are the rest will as well

thank u all for the comments im using cm9 and its working great planning on doing another nandroid and flash rebelrom i just hope my data wont stay in edge
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DutchDisturbed:
Guys I'm thinking of buying this phone since it fits within my budget of 350 euro. However I'm doubting a bit due to the warnings about the S3 chip that is supposed to deliver half the power as the S4 chip from qualcomm.

I'm not a heavy gamer and although the screen and camera seem to be a huge plus these are not my most important criteria. Preferably I'd like my phone to last and be as quick and responsive on regular tasks at least 2 years from now.

The phone I'm drawn to is the HTC one S, since it features the S4 chip and Dual Channel Ram. I like the thinner design, but I absolutely do not like the stupid recent apps kinda button that replaces the menu. Who thought of that?

Anyway, the price difference is about 55 euro's. The HTC being 40 euro's over budget. Would it be feasible to invest the extra money based on my main concern? Or would you not even think of the HTC as an alternative?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] CrazyPeter:
Nexus 4.

Simple as that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DutchDisturbed:
I wish.. Although I completely disregarded the Nexus 4 due to the fact that it's the recent phone from google and thus expected it to be far beyond my budget. Main problem appears that I won't be able to order it through Google, since it is not available in the Netherlands...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] E.Cadro:
I have the one xl the one s's big brother :)

If the recent apps button is your main concern its not a problem most custom ROMs should have it remapped to menu and on the on xl the latest update from HTC made it a stock option in settings to remap it. I'd check on the one s forum I'd bet it is the same as the one xl is.

Oh and by the way this should be in Q&

Thread moved :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] XDantheManX:
You could try getting the HTC One XL or LG Optimus 4X HD. Both are pretty good phones with decent specification akin or even better than the Xperia S. The HTC One XL has a larger screen size and the LG Optimus 4X HD packs a powerful quad-core processor which beats even the likes of the HTC One X. All 3 retail for around the same price in my country. Not sure about yours.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alinuredini:
Nexus 4 is priced at 399$ Sim Unlocked @ Play Store. 399$ = 305 euros. You even have 45 euros to buy accesories :D

just Google it, there are some apps but if you're intention is just to save battery, that would not help much as the battery consumption of proximity sensor is very little
[HTC One X+] gamepr:
So I've had my phone since the launch date and have recently noticed that the paint/coating is kind of bubbling where it meets the gorilla glass and near the front facing camera.

Am I alone on this?
[HTC One X] dsnunes:
. . Hi there.

. . I have my One X for some months now with no major problems. Recently I went back to stock rom and it was ok. Yesterday I plugged the phone on PC to transfer music and Windows told me that it should check the disk for corruption and yadda yadda. I let it run and it said it found and fixed problems. When I finished copying and unplugged the phone, it was very slow and everything was locking up and force closing. I though it had corrupted some /sdcard files. As I have external backups of my apps, I went to a system reset. It kind of worked and the phone was able to boot up normal again.

. . Since I was already starting from scratch I decided to try some customs roms again (non-sense so I don't have to mess with new HBOOT). I downloaded four options, but NONE of them worked. They all "hang" on boot animation, but it doesn't go into bootloop (it just keeps showing the animation forever--the animation also doen't stop, it keeps running). I did the flashing correctly, including flashing the boot.img (I also used custom roms on this device in the past successfully), so that's surely not the problem. I also tried wiping, cleaning caches, "fastboot erase cache" and yadda yadda.

. . I am thinking that I may have a corrupted internal memory of some sort. I can still go back to stock restoring a backup in CWM (and that's probably what I'll do now to use the phone again), but I'm worried it can start to misbehave and FC soon, and also I would really like to try some new JB roms.

. . Anyone had similar problems? Any tips?
[HTC One X] gabuz:
This was happened to me once with my Galaxy SL. FCing all the time and when i'm revert to stock ROM, only endless bootloop showed up. This is the reason why i'm upgrading to One X. Goodluck mate :)
[HTC One X] [★]:
I have also been having this problem for ages now, Tried many different sense and non sense roms, re installing CWM etc etc and nothing is solving the problem. Do you think there is a way to completely reformat the internal memory of the phone? That is all I can think of to solve it? :(
[HTC One X] dsnunes:
. . I went back to stock from a backup and did a factory reset. I was able to use the phone normally for a while, but today I added a new GMail account in it and it instantly became very slow and started locking up and force closing everything. I take ages to be able to read a WhatsApp message--it is mostly unusable at the current state.

. . I was thinking about the possibility of mounting the internal memory as mass storage to check the partitions integrity and maybe re-partition it to avoid the bad sectors (if that's the problem). I just don't know how to do it (if it's at all possible).
[HTC One X] [★]:
Let me know if you work out a way to re-partition the memory, I thought about this but don't understand the partitions enough to attempt it myself

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CMeys:
Somehow my email (POP3) accounts have been changed from sync to disabled in settings. If I go to settings, accounts, email, all email accounts show sync disabled. If I click on the sync icon my only choice is to manually sync the account.

If I go to email, settings, for each account, sync email is checked and there is an appropriate sync schedule selected.

I find the email is not being checked per schedule, it is acting disabled as it shows in settings and only checks if I manually checked it. It was working properly at some time in the last week or so.

Obviously I must have changed something to cause this, but I can't figure out how to fix it.

Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
When in the email app, settings, per account, above the just 'sync email' button, under ''days to sync,' is it set to automatic? Also the inbox check frequency, make sure its not set on 'never'.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CMeys:
I do not see those settings. I go to email, settings, account, 1st section is common settings, then data usage, then sync settings. In sync settings only thing is sync schedule. I that are the settings for peak, off peak, etc. Am I looking in the wrong place because I can't find what you're referring to.

Note: this is a non-rooted phone running stock JB received OTA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xbzz:
I've had problems with stock JB phones and enabling Exchange sync (yeah, it's not POP3, but I wonder if it's the same issue?)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CMeys:
Restrict background data is unchecked, but auto sync data is not. I am checking it now. Hopefully that will do the trick. I'll report back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CMeys:
Thank you so much -- that did it! I couldn't find the setting I needed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xbzz:
Glad to hear it!

From my experience, these settings are set by certain carriers or phone mfgs on JB ROMs (I've seen it mostly on Verizon devices though), since you said you did an OTA, that's probably what changed it. Apparently they want to prevent people from using data or something :eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CMeys:
It wasn't the OTA that broke it. I did the OTA immediately before setting anything up and the email sync was definitely working then. Something since then (maybe something I installed?) caused.

Oh well, at least its fixed now and I now know where to look for the setting.
