URGENT..Please help !! :fingers-crossed:

The device was initially freezing a lot ..So I happened to change the sd card to a 16 gb microsdhc from a 8gb one..But it still was having the same problems..Then I got to know about the EM app in the phone and I by mistake updated the touch firmware in it.

That is when I decided to flash the phone.Now while flashing the phone the phone froze all of a sudden(as already mentioned this was my original(earlier) problem).And the command prompt through which I was flashing the phone showed an error,so I removed the USB cable.From then,I'm not able to even switch on the phone(Not even able to see the Dell logo).

And please give me a solution about the touch firmware that I updated by mistake(That rendered the phone unresponsive to touch)

And there is no light even in the keyboard.

Thank you .
[Venue Pro General] aleunge:
AFAIK, once you do the touch screen firmware update via EM, your phone can't be fixed via USB flashing anymore. From what I've read the unbricking process here on xda won't work at least. I'm not sure if a RIFF box would do it with what we have on the DVP so somene might want to chime in on this?

Does the computer recognize the phone even? :(
[Venue Pro General] SANTHOSHGODSPEED:
What is a RIFF box ? No the computer is no longer able to recognize the phone ..
[Venue Pro General] aleunge:
Have a google at riff box/jtag man. I think someone here was doing something with one to try and revive his bricked DVP. Have a seach and contact him maybe?

And if all else fails, someone is selling a DVP system board off the bay for $40. I have no idea about the details of the listing so check it out yourself before jumping the gun. AFAIK, it even comes with a 16GB card :eek: And make sure it's worth the $40 for such an old phone... I regreted purchasing a glass for $50 to fix another cracked glass DVP when you can get one for not that much more if you wait for deals...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Dell-Ve...209?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5aebab3361

(the DVP is quite easy to tear down BTW, just search the forums for a service manual)
[Venue Pro General] mykalogist:
Thanks Aleunge.. you are the man!! +2 reps to your meter for this.. i went and bought my system board.. i get a free 16gig sd card and the system board is unlocked!! best part... :good:
[Venue Pro General] SANTHOSHGODSPEED:
new

I don't know buying this mother board would certainly assure me that my dvp would get revived back.

And also would need the perfect tools to open up the phone ...right? Would you suggest me to open-up the dvp.(the warranty is already void).

Although I'm pursuing bachelors in technology,I've never opened-up a phone .. I don't want to regret it :(:(:rolleyes:
[Venue Pro General] SANTHOSHGODSPEED:
new

Hey..just saw your post..Have you bought the system board? Is the phone now working properly ?

What kind of tools did you use ?

How did you open up the phone ?

Thanks

:(:rolleyes:
[Venue Pro General] mykalogist:
Hi, i bought my system board yesterday, tracking number says it will arrive at my house by monday so i'll let you know how it goes.. swapping a mother board out always fixes system errors which bricking would categorize under.. it wouldnt fix things like phone not charging or screen problems but definitely will fix cpu issues..
[Venue Pro General] aleunge:
Oh hey mykalogist, just PM you. Didn't know you already bought the baby. Good luck with it! :victory:

And yes, SANTHOSHGODSPEED, I can't say for sure it'll fix whatever is up with your phone, but if it was mine, I would give it a try for that price. It seems very probable since so much is on that DVP board like MK said. And don't worry about taking open the phone. Just remember that it's already broken. Being physically broken further ain't so bad right? :eek:

I've taken open a few phones and the DVP is really one of the easiest. Just grab the service manual from here and peak through it before you attack it (or youtube it first). The hardest part I find is really just taking the back cover off (fingernails and guitar pick help). After that, it's easy breezy.

And I think all you need is a couple of Torx screw drivers. I think a T4 and T5 but I can't remember exactly. Tweezers or a small pair of pliers help for taking out the microSD card.
[Venue Pro General] mykalogist:
UPDATE!! :good:

Ok so i recieved my system board today from RAKI computers on ebay thanks to Aleounge's great find.. i installed the system board and my phone works flawlessly.. yay its alive again!!.. i only have two bad things to mention however.. before i do let me point out that you will be getting a totally new phone new IMEI, service tag and E sevice number so your old phone doesnt exist anymore... ok my bads, the service board i got is locked to a network i have no idea what it is i'm still pending a find i'll be checking out my EM here shortly to see what network it is.. i tried both T-Mobile and AT&T sim cards and none of them were accepted, its asking me for a PIN/Unlock code. And remember your phone is now a totally new phone so when you call dell for this unlock code they will ask for your phone info which will be listed under a different owner so they wont give it to you until you provided them your purchase invoice from RAKI Computer. Oh so thats my update, phone works and booted up again and i was able to install updates up to Tango but the phone will not accept my T-Mobile or AT&T sim :(... Thanks again Aleounge and i hope this helps someone.. Remember to Rep me one ;)
[Venue Pro General] SANTHOSHGODSPEED:
thanks

Hey ..thanks for the update ..

So according to you the phone is working fine and its booted-up and that you are able to update it to tango ..

But you are not able to use the phone with any mobile carrier...ie you are not able to make or receive calls..is that right ?

So you would not advice me to go with that option ?? or do you?

How's the tango update ? Is there much of a difference to the start screen ? Are you able to resize the live tiles ?

And if you do like me to go forward with that ..Can you please tell me how you disassembled and assembled it ?

Looking forward to you reply :o:)
[Venue Pro General] mykalogist:
Yes exactly right.. I found out via my EM that the system board i bought is currently locked to Cincinnati Bell Wireless(CBW).. Because of this it will not accept my T-Mobile Sim or At&T.. The good thing about this is that you will get a new Service Tag, IMEI and E Service number Sticker with the system board.. This information will be blank as if you purchased a new phone. So all you have to do is call Dell Mobility Support.. They are gonna ask you for this info then ask for a copy of your Purchase invoice as proof.. When you send them this information they will register then new system board which is an entirely new phone to your name and give you the Unlock/Pin code to Bypass your sim error.. I havent messed around with tango much so i dont know the new features yet.. Hope this helps..
[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
Can you check what the rom version is?

I havnt heard of a Cbell locked VP before (it's possible I merely overlooked this though)

It's EM -> Phone Information -> SW version.

I assume it'll be something like

2250.1800.7720.219
GLEOS2A421934_?
CBW-US
[Venue Pro General] SANTHOSHGODSPEED:
Problem

You see that's the problem for me ..I'm from India and Dell representatives don't know a thing about this phone(they don't even know if this phone was ever launched in the market)..And at the same time I can't call the US helpline(as they would advice me to call the indian helpline;which is of no use..)..So even if I get this phone assembled I won't be able to make calls with it..(Unless I know someone in the US)
[Venue Pro General] mykalogist:
Yes it was CBW-US.. and it was locked to that network.. i called Dell and you are right they dont know anything about anything.. i waited on the phone for hours and didnt get any good news from they just loop holes.. But i found this guy that knew everything about the Dell Venue pro, sent him my imei and the network it was locked to and got the phone unlocked, i only paid 16$ on ebay and he's located in china where the phone was manufactured so i gave him my trust and it came through.. He unlocked the phone in literally 10mins.. i've been using it Flawless ever since..
[Venue Pro General] SANTHOSHGODSPEED:
Hey

Hey

Can you give me the link to that chinese guy's site ?

I also found out some cheaper and free options ...

And please can you tell me how you disassembled and assembled it? ..
[Venue Pro General] aleunge:
Hey you guys, make sure to give "UnlockCodeRequest@Dell.com" a try first with the unlocking (search the forum for more details). I've unlocked at least 4 DVPs and for the last two (very recent), I don't recall even mentioning it was locked to TMO. I think now that the DVP has hit EOL, Dell doesn't care too much about finding out who the original owner is (they asked for the first couple I tried unlocking, but I never actually mentioned it as I got them used and I don't even know the owners) or the other specifics. Just give them a try first since well... it's free! If it's a no go, go with what MK suggested?

A tip I think might help is to mention you're using it for business and will be leaving the country shortly. I also brought up how much I liked the phone :cool:
[Venue Pro General] SANTHOSHGODSPEED:
Hey

Just to see whether this email id works, I just sent them the IMEI code of the phone that is already unlocked(currently bricked) ..this is what I got in reply

:(;)
[Venue Pro General] mykalogist:
Unlockcoderequest@dell.com wont help you because the system board you get from ebay will be unregistered.. I tried and got a response saying the phone is blank(unregistered) in their system so i need to call the mobility support to register the phone then reply with the phone info.. I called Mobility but theyre so unprofessional, i had to call back 5 times to get with someone who actually knows what they were talking about and still didnt get the phone registered as theyre telling me i had to wait 2-3 days and some run around.. so i met this chinese guy who said he knew how to unlock it in 10min, i sent him the paypal $16 and phone was unlocked right after.. Dell Support sucks.
[Venue Pro General] SANTHOSHGODSPEED:
Ok so I went on to buy this system board from ebay..It looks like its not available for me

(as i'm from india) I searched in more sites but I didn't get any advertisement or anything where they sell this CS.5J16R.002 system board ..do you know any other site which is offering this system board..?
[Venue Pro General] mykalogist:
idk man.. have your friend in USA buy it and ship it for you is your only bet or contact the seller on eBay directly and see if you can make some arrangements.
[General Questions and Answers] t528491:
I'm currently using a Droid 3 on Page Plus's $30 plan. It's not a bad phone, but I want ICS. ;)

I'm considering switching over to T-Mobile on their $30 1500 minute/30 MB, since I won't need much data due to the city wide Wi-Fi on my college campus. What phones would you recommend that are:

1. Under $200 on eBay (used)

2. Run ICS

3. At least a qHD display

T-Mobile actually has a deal today for an LG Optimus L9 for $200 + a $50 prepaid card. Are there any better phones on eBay for that price, or should I just buy that one?

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Eternalty:
I know u said under 200 but if you can get another 100 u can get a nexus 4 from the pay store. If u can't just search eBay for T-Mobile phones and put a max of 200. I'm sure there are better phones out there for your price point but just gotta keep searching
[General Questions and Answers] t528491:
I did consider saving up for the Nexus 4, but I have a music library of about 32GB, so I don't think it would work for me.

Paying effectively $150 for that LG is mighty tempting I must say.
[General Questions and Answers] Eternalty:
Keep searching and when you find a phone you may want u can watch a review of that device on YouTube and see if u like it
[General Questions and Answers] buckfuddy:
The LG Optimus L9 today is a very good buy at $200 + $50 prepaid card which you could easily flip on ebay for $40+.

However, if you look hard enough you might be able to score a used sensation or galaxy nexus, which have heavy dev support in comparison to the optimus.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] milomak:
Is there an app available that I can use to determine whether my screen sensor is borked?

I ask because on both LeeDroid's HC and JB versions, when I hover the pen slightly above the screen, the various apps pick up the pen movement. Even replacing the pen batteries doesn't change the behaviour.

Any ideas?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sonus:
You have to take apart the stylus, clean the contacts, and put it all back together. There's a very detailed thread with pictures on tabletpcreview.com HP Slate 500's forums
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] milomak:
Thanks. I'll go check that out
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dbugs777:
that's weird.... in my experience, replacing the battery will do the trick :confused:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freworld:
cant find!

Can you mention the link and post? (I cant find that)

I am not sure but my stylus is giving me some blank looks . Sometime works and sometimes doesn't..Not able to find the issue.

Looking for replacing the battery.

Any idea how long this 1 AAA cell works with usual use? I never replaced it till now
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niners77:
When I placed a widget on the desktop does that mean that its always running the background?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Yes widgets always run in the background consuming resources needed to function. For example a weather widget will look up weather information in the background every x minutes and will then refresh the widget with the updated weather information. Some widgets use very few resources running in the background, while others use a lot of background resources.

Thanks! Going to test it, and is there any details about this rom?
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
Again, TY HO!NO!

Downloading right now and I'll flash it and give it a run and report back.
[LG Nitro HD] punk_zappa:
Installed but I cannot receive calls. I did once but I am not sure what I was configuring at that time so please help me with that issue, phone number is "Unknown" in about phone.. Other than that it is smooth and quick.
[LG Nitro HD] Makoers:
Maybe try flashing a baseband again .
[LG Nitro HD] punk_zappa:
Looks good. Seems to be working with my trial calls. Thanks.
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
I volunteer to be a guinea pig for the oc/uv lol. I'm just now getting to flashing. Thank you HO!NO! and good to see you're still coming around!
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
HO!NO!

Does this Alpha ROM include your OC/UV kernel b/c I'm not seeing the 99ocvoltcontrol or 99GPUoverclock files. As well, the init.qcom.post_boot.sh doesn't have the options to set governer and OC. Is that something you're waiting to release due to on going issues?
[LG Nitro HD] cashy57:
He's waiting for people to volunteer for the oc/uc. This is just alpha release with no kernel tweaks. (This is my assumption with information he has provided in the op)
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
In that case, I raise my hand to test.
[LG Nitro HD] nate1975:
Shows OC values

I've just installed this build and indeed I am seeing OC values of 1566, 1620, 1674, 1728, 1782, 1836, 1890, 1944

I have not messed with the voltages at all yet however, but I assume they would be there too.
[LG Nitro HD] BigSexySCJCD:
ROM runs smooth and fast but already had two bsod
[LG Nitro HD] HO!NO!:
With system tuner i was able to overclock and undervolt without problem and they stick after reboot. :D
[LG Nitro HD] rani9990:
OMG. Man, i waited so long for this, I moved to the S3. Still gonna drop by here though, check up on this. It's a HO!NO! work, it's bound to be sick, amirite?
[LG Nitro HD] lyfkevin:
GREAT!, After nitro hd version stabilized and u got spare time, wish to hv a su640 version :]
[LG Nitro HD] Technocian:
HO! NO! You are awesome. I am willing to be a kernel guinea pig as well.
[LG Nitro HD] tampaboy1984:
Screenshots?
[LG Nitro HD] kenship:
my experience so far

I flashed it last night and used pimpmyrom to tweak a few settings (no change on dalvik and multitasking). 1728 seems unstable to me. But I read that this ROM has no uv so I might give that a try.

What values should I decrease for uv?
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
I used X0dus' numbers from his FT undervolt guide in the general section and I'm running stable at 1728. I don't have PmR or anything else running on it at the moment. This ROM does, in fact, have uv; as HO!NO! said, use System Tuner to set the values.
[LG Nitro HD] l_ung:
rom run very smooth with the new kernel, but the taskkiller is too aggressive , keep killing the browser , battery drain is better but still not sleeping well Thank you!please keep it up!
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
Oc/uv is achieved with system tuner?! Can't wait to get off work now!
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
Yes. The only problem I had with it is that I would set the values and save it and after reboot it wouldn't stick. I would load the file I saved and it wouldn't be the values I put in. What I did, after I saved the configuration, I pushed it to my computer and modified it with Notepad, then pushed it back to the phone. For some reason, it doesn't stick through reboot but when loading the modified configuration file it loads the correct values.
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
Strange because Ho!No reported his sticking after boot. Thanks 4 this info, though. Still patiently waiting for work to end. /sigh
[LG Nitro HD] kenship:
It sticks for me
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
My oc/uv also does not stick after boot. hrm Back to FT I go.
[LG Nitro HD] Technocian:
My overclock and undervolt settings DO STICK after reboot.

I change the processor speed and governor through Settings and check "Set on boot" and then change the undervolt settings in System Tuner and make sure to check that CPU Settings are restored on each boot in the boot settings section.

Great ROM! Great JellyBean kernel! I'm running at 1.78Ghz right now with every undervolted by 25 millivolts.

PS. Benchmark scores are kind of low for some reason in Antutu, but the ROM feels and operates much faster than Full Throttle does.
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
Just noticed mine are sticking now as well... When I was first getting the uv settings down, I had to manually set it two or three times, then I just edited that saved file and gave up.

So you're stable at 1.78ghz? Mine is a little dodgy there, but 1.72ghz works flawlessly.
[LG Nitro HD] Technocian:
1.78 with undervolt; if I did not care for the extra battery life and efficiency, I probably could have forgone undervolting and gotten stability at 1.83Ghz with stock voltage and 1.89Ghz with some slight voltage increase.

On another note, is the GPU on this already OC'd? Or is there a way to overclock the GPU? I just hit 8,997 score in Antutu and could break 9,000 (IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!) with a higher GPU frequency.
[LG Nitro HD] cashy57:
For me, this is so far the most stable jb based rom I've used so far. I've done oc/uv and have not had a bsod yet!

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

Also running at 1.72 with 37.5 mV under volt.
[LG Nitro HD] Flyview:
Sweet. Flashed this over a CM10 nightly (deleted cache and dalvik cache first) for now. Working well. Finally, ahhh undervolt goodness. Running -87.5mV across the board and under clocked to 1.29GHz.

One thing I have noticed is the second core isn't being set to the specified frequency. Seems to be stuck with a max of 1.35GHz for me.

Note: I'm using intellidemand governor. I've seen "badass" governor (was default for me) stick on a medium frequency and don't think that's very good.
[LG Nitro HD] tdm:
HO!NO!, I would like to look at your kernel source. I looked on your github but it has not been updated in months. Where can I find the source to this kernel?
[LG Nitro HD] Technocian:
Battery life is still really bad even undervolted however, same problem as every CM10 rom so far.

I left my phone off charger at 80% overnight and woke up 8 hours later to it completely dead.
[LG Nitro HD] kenship:
Exactly, it keeps awake very regularly.
[LG Nitro HD] david.degraw54:
I'm on a regular CM10 nightly and my battery life isn't that bad. Installed adrenaline injector, LZ kernel, and added some tweaks to my build.prop. Download trickster mod from the play store. It shows you the time the CPU spends at every frequency and in deep sleep. Usually deep sleep is the most or 192 MHz.
[LG Nitro HD] Flyview:
Try turning off Google's location tracking. I think it might be on by default.

My biggest gripe is that the automatic brightness won't decrease in brightness, even with that option on.
[LG Nitro HD] miji2:
Well, after >4 days on this ROM and not a single battery draining BSOD ... which is quite an accomplishment for this particular phone.

Still experiencing random reboots (mostly kernel Oops) and the BSOD with the light-up capacitive keys. The interesting part is that the random reboots usually stop on pure CM10 after setting "Disable HW overlays" where as here that seems to have no effect. I've got numerous kmsg and some logcats to document some reasons for these reboots .. not sure if it's worth while to post them here or has the train left the station?

In any case .. the good news is whatever you did to the kernel HO!NO!, it seems to have fixed the battery draining BSOD.
[LG Nitro HD] punk_zappa:
Very frustrated with the short battery life with this and then found "DS Battery Saver" (Deep Sleep) from the store. I installed it yesterday and been on it for a day now and result is promising, 50% left.

what else is there to say? Thanx ho!no!
[LG Nitro HD] caseydelco:
Try android tuner from same developer of system tuner it will let u change the freq and governors separately..per core..system tuner seems to make mine have lot more random reboots but none since traded for the android tuner..sys tuner was the paid vers..the android tuner I'm trying the free one
