[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
May I suggest buying a cheap g1 to have as a backup incase another similar thing happens, they are quite inexpensive now and are probably one of the best made smart phones, not to mention still somewhat developed on. Also consider finding another g2 or mytouch 4g slide if you want a qwerty, or for more money the samsung relay 4g seems promising.

For me personaly, although my opinion on htc has dropped tremedously over the past year or two, the g1 and g2 are just amazing phones for their time and to this day I can not find a better phone to suit my needs then the g2/dz regardless the price.

If you are in desperate need I used to buy and refurbish to sell both g1s and g2s (along with other phones) but have stopped selling for a few months due to school and getting married and all sorts of personal things keeping my side buissness moving (also fix and repair cars, motercycles etc) but if you can't find or need a reputable seller feel free to pm me as this is the last week of finals ill probably do some more of this soon
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceristimo1:
Hi demkantor. Well, to be honest, after this fiasco of a phone I'm done with HTC. Needless to say I will never want to buy another Desire Z, because who's to say that one is not just gonna die soon? Also, my previous phone was a TytnII (also made by HTC, running Windows Mobile 6.1), and that thing was incredibly slow out of the box, and gradually got worse and worse over time. Apparently the Tytn II has a graphics chip that HTC never bothered to make a driver for, hence the screen is incredibly slow when doing things like scrolling through a menu or webpage.

HTC has now proven twice to me that they don't give a crap about their products, so neither am I going to.

That being said, I did try to flash the RUU with the link you provided, but it doesn't work. The updater tries to reboot the boot-loader and that makes my phone freeze up.

So I guess that's totally it then? Phone is dead, and that's that.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Yeah that's too bad, phone is shot. The g2/dz had two different chips, one great and one prone to failure. I have been liking the build quality of Samsung a little more as of late, but the older HTC's do seem better. The g1 suggestion is just to have a cheap sturdy backup, but you will probably want a more advanced phone for daily use.

There are always one of the various nexus models, but none come with a hardware keyboard. So if you need one and want to stay away from HTC consider the relay 4g by Samsung.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceristimo1:
Hi demkantor, Right, that's what I thought. Phone is shot. I'm gonna smack the hell out of it with a hammer now, just to get some frustration out of my system. Thinking about uploading that to Youtube, just to see how many kids out there will reply with a: "why did you kill a perfectly good phone?...":p

If only this one would have come with the Sandisk chip. Who would have guessed it was possible for the eMMC to die this quickly? Little over a year and a half old, and always babied the darn thing. Not a scratch on it, never dropped...

Thank you for the G1 suggestion, but I'd rather save up a little longer and then buy a phone I do like. Guess I might have to do without the qwerty-keyboard in the future, because there are not a lot of phone out there with that option anymore.

I'll take a look at the relay 4g by Samsung. In the meantime, I did send you another PM...:good:

EDIT:

Yeah, the 4G looks like a nice phone, but is:

1) Way out of my budget

2) It's a T-mobile phone. I have an AT&T simcard...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oVeRdOsE.:
Well, I can't believe there's no way out with HTC?!?!?!?

My backup phone is a brand new htc desire Z. ( I guy from my cell pohone provider get rid of it since they are ''old'').

Played some months with it, take it when my daily desirez had some trouble with custom roms...

So my unused back up desire z with stock rom (no-rotted), just get what you described!! Tried everything, looks like fried emmc.

Got the 7 times vibrate, htc logo, freeze on ruu restore...

what a waste...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceristimo1:
Hi oVeRdOsE. Yeah, it's just outright ridiculous, how quick these phones with the bad eMMC's die. And HTC just doesn't care.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohnish.killer:
RUU !

RUU option from fastboot is your best chance of *trying* to save it !!

Else you could try and replace/repair the eMMC yourself !!

the Desire Z is still better then others in the market ! try ur best to save it :P !
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oVeRdOsE.:
I understantd, but still, my dz is almost new...

RUU is just running for ever, do nothing.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
with a fried chip your emmc can not read/write to some or all partitions making an ruu not an option. The only thing to do is boot from sd if you were rooted, if not time to get another phone, it sucks but yeah...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soadfan:
Is eMMC replaceable?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
If you own a factory machine to solder a new one in, if you were super good at it, soldering by hand would be extreamly difficult and getting a new chip to solder in would be hard as well. Then you would need to JTAG the new firmware onto the new chip... I'd just buy a new phone or buy a new motherboard
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soadfan:
Asking cuz i saw someone in forum have replaced it for like a 15 euros.I wouldn't try cuz i'm to nervous and will send it to the wall as a result :D If it was bigger...well i could make it:D. I know a guy who can do it. Actually he root my phone, cuz i didn't do it right after i bought it and didn't want to lose everything on phone. He has this little toolbox, that attaching to sim port and root in a 5 minutes or less :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceristimo1:
Yes, you could replace the eMMC chip, but to do BGA soldering you need special equipment and you need to be pretty skilled. Because of the known problem with the HTC Desire phones, the Chinese jumped on the bandwagon and are offering eMMC chips that come pre-installed.

This basically means that you don't need JTAG to put new firmware on the chip. After soldering it'll boot straight up.

You can buy one of these chips here, for example:

http://www.parts4repair.com/htc-desire-s-sandisk-sdin5c2-8g-nand-flash-chip-with-f/

Another fun fact is that the replacement chip is 8GB. But, as others said before: You need skill and the right equipment. I have a soldering iron and some basic skill, but I'm not even going to attempt to do this.

Has anyone found a SIP client that actually works on the kindle fire HD? Everything I've tried to date either causes general system weirdness or works but no audio.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] commshop:
AdoreSoftphone ver 0.00-1 works fine on mine.

I tried more recent versions but the above is only one working stable on my KFHD7.

It's registered to an Asterisk Svr on the same lan segment as KFHD7.

No hangs. can dial and rcv calls. Phonebook is not working because it looks for contacts

on your SIM card I read. I just switch to contact app and pull/memorize number to dial.

We have not tried registering w/ a VOIP provider to see if there are audio traversing Nat issues

but it works fine when surfing on my KFHD7 and suddenly getting the urge to order a pizza using

this SIP client.

hello,

i need to upgrade my 0.43.0000 hboot in order to install JB.

i tried to reload 2.17.401.2 RUU but it fail to load it (error 155).

Well there's something wrong there because your hboot does not match your "stock". Run:

[HTC One X] arik.akiva:
it says 1.26.707.4 but at the GUI it say 2.17.401.2
[HTC One X] tomascus:
It's because you're on a custom ROM, your actual version is 1.26
[HTC One X] arik.akiva:
what i have to do\upload in order to upgrade the hboot

You could install this, which would wipe your phone:

http://htcruu.com/Endeavor/RUU_ENDE...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed.exe

But that won't get you a JB hboot.

Or you could go to the thread with JB firmwares in it and download an updated firmware, if your CID is supported, which I think it is. I thought there was a 3.14.707 RUU, but couldn't see it on htcruu.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RVP20:
As the thread's title says, I'll be getting my Atrix 4G off this guy I'm trading my Blackberry Curve 9360 with since I've always wanted to try out Android and see what all the fuss is about.

Now some questions have been going through my mind:

Since it's a second hand phone are there any things I should look out for (software side) that may make me not to go through with the deal?

What would be the best way to get this running ICS or Jelly Bean?

Is still considered a good phone nowadays? I know it's an old phone but the experience I'll have with this phone will determine whether or not I get a more expensive Android device in the near future.

Any tips/tricks for someone new to Android?

Thanks in advance for all your input and I hope I can make the most out of my device with the help of everyone on this forum! :)

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesummoner101:
It isn't anything impressive by todays standards, but has a lot of things no other smartphone offers. (direct HDMI, fingerprint scanner, high resolution display, lapdock/media dock) While the hardware holds its own, the software lacks. Even the manufacturer abandoned it.

I spouse it is good for a beginner, but don't go expecting it to give you proper ICS/JB experience. At this time, a nexus one might perform better with its outdated hardware.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demonoid phenomenom:
to be honest to you , although its a really great phone, if you want a complete ics/jb experience then imho dont buy this phone or pray for the devs to figure out the kernel port stuff, since we only got two crappy leaks from motofail ( crappy batt life, full of bugs depending on what hw revision is your atrix build up) plus ics webtop is nothing more than tablet mode,

on the other hand gingerbread based roms are just wonderful you can customize almost every single aspect of your atrix , webtop included, also overclocking is really good with gb based roms cm7 roms included, i must say that this is a very good phone to start with, i know that right now is reallly cheap but its hw isnt, i started with this phone and never left moto again, even with the hole motofail thing

on pre-buy revision i must say , check out fingerpint reader, reboot and see if there's a "unlocked" text at boot , after boot, check out if it's rooted (a pirate like android icon named superuser) check also audio jack and speacker , plus all regular checks , and you'll be just fine

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
Not sure which OTA you're talking about. If it's the CM10 updates, go into Settings, About phone, CM updates, and download the update, and it should ask you if you want to flash it. You can also go into recovery yourself and manually flash it. It downloads to Internal SD/cmupdater

If it's Samsung OTA update, I'm not sure how you even get an OTA notification pushing through..

Hi All,

just read the holiday guide on the XDA, and the best OEM was chosen Sony for their support to Dev s. If i read it right the Xperia S boot loader was unlocked for development, is it that they still don't want to divulge the kernel of Sony Tablets to the Devs yet.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Yes, it is true that the Xperia S bootloader is available for unlock from Sony but I have no idea why we are not allow root and unlock the bootloader for Sony Tablets. :sly:
[Sony Tablet S] reptile64:
Sony is manufacturing the Tabs and Sony Mobile the smartphones.... I think it's obvious that they are not completely merged in terms of development support etc. they still act like 2 different companies.

It will take a little bit more time to be completely merged!

Rather start a new thread in Q&A than post it here.

Root should already be possible, try the various one-Click Root tools.. The character limit can already be fixed by modding a xml file somewhere.

If you want official then you must ask LG to fix it (not the root, the 160 char limit). If you want custom ROM then you should rather go to Korean Forum. Your not specific about exactly what you want in your question.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] opalen:
Hi,

I have a problem with xperia, it's not really a bug but rather a stupid sony's developers decision, that i want to get around somehow.

I have a decent Denon C551 and Denon AH-D2000 headphones that I use to listen to music via my xperia U, these comes without mic.

When I try to call with headphones plugged in, I would like to use phone's regular, internal mic. But i cant, manual says "unplug headphones" and that's bullsh** because.. why?

I've searched a lot and found only that:

- some phones allow that, others don't, for no reason.

- people advise to use adapters, but i don't see a reason to carry more crap and additional 1meter cable extender with me.

- phones usually allow that but only with skype, etc. So that's not a hardware limitation.

It seems like a software limitation done on purpose just to force us to buy sony's crappy headset accessories.

Is There a way to get around that limitation through some apk/modding?

Great news.

As far as I know no one has looked at anything really in depth like unbricking etc yet.

However, I would like to point you inthe direction of flashtool and Androxyde. I am sure you are aware that flashtool developed by bin4ry and androxyde is the tool for xperia phones. Getting your head around that will be the first step to understanding the differences with sony phones to other phones...

I don't have any direct hardware experience, but as far as I know all Xperia's are actually completely unbrickable. With Flashtool or Flashboot you can pretty much rescue any 'bricked' device.

Aside the testpoint unlock in the 2011 models I haven't seen anything that involves direct hardware access either. What devs do is just pack pretty much everything boot-related into the kernel.
