[LG Optimus G (International)] vpetkar:
Wow you're lucky. I opened up the phone myself as I'm a technician (though not for LG) and I unfortunately found out that the LCD is fused/soldered/glued onto the chassis of the phone. It's impossible to get the LCD off unless you somehow manage to rip it off but I was unable to do so.

Check out the tear-down of the Nexus 4 (very similar to our Optimus G) http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+4+Teardown/11781/3.

I've contacted the local LG Service Provider but I highly doubt they'll be able to do anything for me. I'm glad that you were able to find someone to do it for you, even at the price of $200. I hope I can also. Let me know how it goes!
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
As i know, the gorilla on OG are laminated over display which has touch screen built in (I think thats the reason it so expensive), so i dont think you can do same thing by yourself without proper instruments.
[LG Optimus G (International)] avink:
sorry to hear this bud. since this is a relatively new phone, i don't suppose you purchased it on a credit card did ya? sometimes you may be able to claim accidental damage for upto 90 days on a CC purchase. worth looking into if you havent already. saved me a few times.

edit: nm, person above me offered similar advice.
[LG Optimus G (International)] vpetkar:
That's not the reason, as the assembly comes with glass laminated over the LCD without a problem. The problem is that that whole assembly (glass, LCD, digitizer) is all fused TO the frame. However, when you go to buy a part, they only sell you the LCD/glass/digitizer combo. That's my problem :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] vpetkar:
Unfortunately the retailer didn't take my AMEX card so I had to use a debit card. That was my first thought too.
[LG Optimus G (International)] avink:
Another thing to look into is to see whether or not its too late to purchase accidental damage coverage that some wireless providers sell. Rogers allows you to buy it within 15 days of purchasing the device. So depending on who you purchased the device from, maybe that is an option also (ignoring the moral issues with this) :D
[LG Optimus G (International)] vpetkar:
Haha, unfortunately I bought it factory OEM unlocked but wow that's a great idea for the future. Also, just to update everyone I have submitted it to a local repair shop for $150.00 including parts, labor and taxes. According to them, they will get the part in 2-3 days, and by as early as Saturday or as late as Monday, I will get my phone back.

Here's hoping to everything goes well.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Unknown_00000001:
Hi,

I have relatively the same problem that you've had. If you could let me know how the ordeal went, and the name of the shop. (I'm somewhat close to the GTA area)

Thanks
[LG Optimus G (International)] vpetkar:
It went a lot better than expected. They were able to successfully replace the screen in 3 days. I got it done from Oakville Tech for $150, but remember they'll have to order the part so it does take a few days. My friend also has the exact same phone and got it done at Tech Know Space (Toronto & Mississauga) and they have the screen in stock, takes 2 hours, costs $200.

Alright. Thanks!

Full stock ROM 6.1.A.2.55 for Acro S with ROOT and CWM

So, its the easiest way to get last stock rom with ROOT.

Installing wintout unlocking bootloader:

At first you need previous rom with ROOT and CWM.

Unzip archive and flash ftf file via flashtool wintout any wipe!

Copy StockRom_6.1.A.2.55+root+cwm.zip mirror on your SD Card and install via CWM. (If you want clean ROM, wipe all before installing)

Done

You can change the order of steps 2 and 3

Testing now. Yesterday, I had to repair my phone (by PC Companion) after trying to root 2.55 firmware :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ccresanto:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ngonchan:
Follow the #1, root and cwm is ok for 2.55 now

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ccresanto:
success installing the update firmware without loosing my data and customizations. thanks sir Desperanto86 and ngonchan

note to all that might try...without any wipe!

first thing i noticed is the app Sim Toolkit if missing but the system says its installed.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ashy:
*#*#7378423#*#*

Rooting Status:

Bootloader Unlocked = Yes

means my bootloader is unlocked right?

can I still flash this ftf file via flashtool? (I heard unlocked phone must not run the OTA update... so I wonder if this has the same effect)

thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ashy:
I finally buckled up my balls and proceeded with flashing this...

but I lost CWM by flashing the .ftf file (I got my CWM previously from this kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1834129), so eventually I guess - after replacing the kernel(?) I lose the CWM...

so I flashed that kernel with CWM by cobrato again to flash the ROM, it went well

even though I now have .55 ROM + Kernel + Root + CWM & everything, I realize that the kernel by cobrato is slightly older than the one posted by OP

cobrato's 6.1.A.2.55 Kernel Version:

3.0.8+1.0.21100-30145-01956-g43358ca

BuildUser@BuildHost #1

SMP PREEMPT Mon July 30 13:29:45 2012

but OP's 6.1.A.2.55 Kernel Version is:

3.0.8+1.0.21100-30145-01957-gc34b591

BuildUser@BuildHost #1

SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 5 01:14:38 2012

so without hesitation, I flashed OP's .ftf file again, losing CWM but.. the kernel is newer.... :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ngonchan:
I started with stock 6.A.2.45 with root and CWM, flashed the OP's ftf file without any wipe and CWM still there, then apply the zip and done!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Desperanto86:
ashy, you have CMW in kernel...when you flash ftf file you flash stock kernel and lose CWM. My way for people with locked boot + stock kernel and CMW in ROM!

ngonchan, you have CWM in ROM and don't lose it :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ashy:
I see! thanks for enlightening! but ermm... can you please share the link to ROM-based CWM? so far I've only seen kernel-based ones...

I suppose I can still flash one to this current ROM right? :rolleyes:

thanks again :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Desperanto86:
Just at first flash ROM via CWM, then flash ftf :) And you'll get stock kernel and CWM in ROM
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ashy:
you mean CWM is actually included in this ROM? :confused:

I went like this:

stock .45 ROM -> cobrato's older .55 kernel (w/ CWM) -> your newer .55 kernel (realize CWM is gone) -> cobrato's older .55 kernel (get CWM back) -> .55 ROM (full wipe) -> your newer .55 kernel...

but I still don't get CWM... (no bluelight on startup and tapping touchscreen didn't get me into recovery..)

thanks again for your help
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Desperanto86:
if you have unlocked bootloader why you don't use root via cwm?

In my rom cwm already included. Many people tested it.

You should have stock kernel + stock rom .45 or .50 with root and cwm. Flash my rom via cwm and then flash new stock kernel and basaband. Or at first flash kernel and baseband and then flash my rom. And full wipe BEFORE installing ROM not AFTER!!! Go to CWM, FULL wipe and right flash rom
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ashy:
I want to try .55 ROM, but having unlocked bootloader - PC companion will not let me update... so I have to do it this way...

umm... is your method of getting into recovery the same as others? (tapping screen at sony logo?) weird... it didn't seem to work for me...

I forgot whether I wipe before or after installing the ROM :eek: could it be the reason? :(

I would also like to know this^

I encountered the same problem as some other people, I flashed the ftf file via flashtool without any wipe but when my phone restarted I lost root and CWM so I couldn't continue to the next step... :/

Don't Forget to press Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] danlikesphones:
I finally understand what I did wrong now... :mad: :eek:

It turns out I was flashing the wrong ROM. The ROM I flashed was called "LT26w (Xperia acro S)_6.1.A.2.55_Version" but that was 400MB so when I rebooted my phone I lost CWM and root.

Now I realise that the ROM in the OP is only 11MB so when I flashed that ROM and my phone restarted I still had CWM, so then I proceeded with installing the zip file through CWM and it worked!

So if you reboot your phone after flashing and you've lost CWM then make sure the ROM you're flashing is only 11MB!

Press thanks if I helped you! :)

[HTC Sensation] dejan16v:
Do this and it should work. I was having the same problem and it worked for me.

First backup your contacts, from people application using Export to SD card option!!!

go to:

settings > developer options > background process limit (set "No background processes")

then go to:

settings > apps > all > contacts storage > ("clear data")

Then go back to:

settings > developer options > background process limit (set Standard limit)

You might need to restart your phone.

Then select your gmail account and check contacts and then reboot.

Wait 5-10 min and you'll see the contacts start to appear.
[HTC Sensation] dejan16v:
Do not do Clear Data before backing up your contacts.

Unfortunatelly I think it only works one way from Google to Phone.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfer:
I've noticed when I connect the N10 to my LCD TV with native resolution of 1368x768 using a micro-HDMI to HDMI cable that the image doesn't stretch all the way to the edge of the display. Instead it leaves black bars on either side of probably 75-100 pixels. Does anyone else notice this?? Is there a setting I'm missing to be able to scale the display to fill the entire screen?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
Doesn't fill my TV either, the issue, I guess is that it's mirroring so it won't change aspect, that may be different for videos but I haven't tried.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjdevega:
Only way to change the aspect ratio is through your TV. My 50in Philips LCD HD, has settings option to change the display view. Maybe in later firmware updates they may include HDMI options through the device.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jotokun:
Yep, its the aspect ratio. TVs have standardized on 16:9. Android phones and 7" tablets are also 16:9, but since 10" tablets are meant to be held in landscape Google's set the standard to be 16:10 so the soft keys dont take too much of the display away from actual content.

Put in laymans terms, the Nexus has more height per width than your TV, so it either must use black bars, stretch, or crop. Black bars look the best of those options.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfer:
Good to know its not just me or my HDMI cable. If this issue is important to you to get resolved, please check out this link and star the issue. With enough votes Google might provide us more options to scale the mirrored output or select a custom resolution in a future release of Android.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogorman:
It fills your screen when you watch a Movie or TV show though right?

So it is definitely possible for the Nexus to send the signal.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misquia:
I just recently downloaded SlimBean 3.1 and was trying to upgrade to that from 3.0. So I did my usual procedure: wipe, clear cache, format /system. Then I proceeded to installing Slimbean 3.1, then the kernel (Semaphore_JB_2.6.5sv) and finally the gapps for SlimBean. But the boot animation was taking too long (>10 minutes), when it usually doesn't when I install a SlimBean ROM, so I pulled the battery and repeated the process. Now I realized that once in a while (about 10 seconds) it would give a small vibration and on occasion when I retried to install, it would give me a 'Whoop' sound (when that happens, it's about every ~5 minutes). Anyone know what the problem is so I can fix it? Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
Did you try getting it to boot, then go back and flash kernel?

I've felt the vibrations but never any sound. Don't know why that would happen.

I am Jack's smirking revenge.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misquia:
Yeah I've tried getting it to boot many times.. I just tried flashing the Semaphore kernel over the ROM in CWM, no good. Still stuck at the SlimBean boot animation as always and there's still the vibrations every 10 or so seconds.

I'm trying to use Heimdall for the first time now to see if it can help solve my problem. I've just done the zadig thing, but now I'm not quite sure how to proceed, I don't know what to put in the Heimdall Firmware Package.

EDIT: S**t, I tried flashing a kernel via Heimdall, failed for some reason, and now it's bricked with the 'phone ! pc' icon, can't get into download mode with 3 button combo. I just keeps going back to the 'phone ! pc' icon, I think it might be hard bricked. Odin isn't reading my device. No luck with one click unbrick either...This is not my day..

Pull battery, connect USB then hold button combo while popping battery back in. (With Odin on obviously)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misquia:
Thanks for the reply. I tried doing that, still a no-go. Popped battery out, removed sd card/sim, put usb in, held vol. up and down keys, popped battery in. It keeps going back to the 'phone ! pc' screen and Odin's still not reading my device. I really am afraid that this might be a hard brick rather than a soft brick..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
You aren't hard bricked, if you were you'd see nothing. The goal now is to try and get DL mode.

Have you tried to run Odin even though it doesn't give com port? Don't know if that will work but try it.

Try only vol up or only vol down and see if that works.

I am Jack's smirking revenge.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex9090:
^ what he said. Try the up button only after you plug in the USB.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ioancr:
I had better success with this one - Pull out battery, wait 10 sec, reinsert. Connect USB to PC port. While holding vol up & down, connect USB to the phone.

Are you on Froyo or GB bootloader?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misquia:
I sure hope so.. I've tried inserted the stock eclair PDA in Odin, along with the s1_odin_20100512.pit file, clicked start and was presented with "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)". I think one of the reasons why Odin isn't recognizing my Vibrant is because of the drivers (even before the brick). I'm always presented with "The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it." The drivers I downloaded were the latest from Samsung's site.

I tried both, still went into the 'phone ! pc' screen. Also tried using USBDeview to uninstall the Samsung drivers, and then, as always, when I plug in the Vibrant, it gives me the message mentioned above where Windows doesn't recognize the device. It'll install some Unknown Device's drivers, which don't work. I thought it might have been the zadig thing I did for Heimdall, but I guess not.

Just tried, still went into the 'phone ! pc' screen. I believe I'm on the GB bootloader, it's been a while since I flashed a bootloader so I'm not quite sure, but since I managed to install SlimBean 3.0 before(required the GB bootloader), I'm assuming it's that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ioancr:
Then you changed also the way you get to download mode. Instead of pressing both vol up & down, use ONE only, the volume up button. Don't give up, you will have to retry many times to get there, your phone is still OK.

Have you tried the Heimdall One-Click package? It was the only one that saved me many times (and long time ago, fortunately).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misquia:
I couldn't get only vol. up or down to work. I have the one-click packager downloaded, but I don't know what to do with it. From the start it says 'Select a Heimdall tar.gz for one-click".

Heimdall One-Click has everything built-in, it doesn't ask anything. Go get it here, the official thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1278683

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misquia:
Thanks, I'd really appreciate it if you did. Hopefully before Tuesday, if I can't get anything to work in getting the Vibrant to boot to download mode, I might just have to ship it over to mobiletechvideos or something to install the unbrickable mod.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misquia:
Thank you! Though, it's not recognizing the phone, still shows disconnected. Then again, it might be a problem with my computer drivers not seeing my device/installing incorrect drivers (i.e 'Unknown device' and 'Port Failed'. This will definitely prove useful if I do get it to go to download mode or for future problems, if I manage to get it fixed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ioancr:
Try to uninstall the current USB drivers, reboot PC and then use Zadig from Heimdall suite (1.3 or 1.3.1) to install them. It perhaps will not recognize it as a phone, don't bother, it's enough to make it just visible to PC (check search all devices or something like that in preferences of Zadig).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misquia:
I uninstalled all the drivers related to the Vibrant using USBDeview, like the blank unnamed driver and the 'Port reset' one, then rebooted. But it's still not visible as a device. I'll post a screenshot of this.

Here's what usually happens. If you take a look at the last line in USBDeview, that's usually what the Vibrant comes out to be, just a blank line with no description.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ioancr:
Windows is still sensitive to your device, that's good. The only way is to try installing drivers, the right ones. Did you check "list all devices" in Zadig? Try replacing drivers in Zadig (press button).

Have you tried the Samsung USB drivers?
