[Windows 8 General] stevedebi:
It probably won't help, but have you checked for a restore point in the desktop?

I had some trouble a couple of weeks ago and ended up resetting the entire computer, which solved the issues. The desktop was fine, but the Windows 8 start screen tiles did not work.
[Windows 8 General] p2kmafia:
I have checked windows 8 forums but they're all unanswered for the most part. I've tried everything they said to fix it. Is there some sort of file I could delete that refreshing would replace that would force the computer to need a refresh?

What do you mean by restore point on the desktop? I don't have an earlier system restore point, I checked. I deleted my old windows.old folder thinking that was the issue. No fix.
[Windows 8 General] stevedebi:
What about being able to create your own restore media? Is that part of what is not working?
[Windows 8 General] p2kmafia:
any restoration methods that don't need a windows 8 cd work fine
[Windows 8 General] stevedebi:
Well, you may have to reinstall from the recovery media. I know you lose your data, but at least everything will work.
[Windows 8 General] p2kmafia:
Ok so my problem's fixed. I have a server at home so I backed up everything, used vaio care to do a factory reset, somehow ended up on windows 7, clean install of windows 8 activated and I'm good.

Thanks for the help in general guys!
[Nokia Lumia 800] vinny13:
Picked up a 710 last week. For a "low-end" phone, I think it's pretty nice! But, one thing that's bothering me is this pretty noticeable banding at the top edge of the screen. You can really see it on a white screen.

Is this just how they come or is it something that they can fix? Isn't all that bothersome but kind of annoying knowing that its there lol

Here's a couple pics:

I went to my carrier today just to see what another 710 looked like and the banding was still there but it didn't seem as bad, so I don't know :confused:
[Nokia Lumia 800] pdukanac:
ask for replacement , least you should get is one where its less noticable
[Nokia Lumia 800] vinny13:
If I send it in, should I lock the bootloader after restoring the carrier ROM to it? And if so, how lol

Can't seem to find that...
[Nokia Lumia 800] pdukanac:
huh, bootloader is probably factroy unlocked

thus dunno if you get replacement will it be unlocked or "fixed", answer to that should be found on forums
[Nokia Lumia 800] vinny13:
Oh no I understand that. My bootloader was locked initially though and I unlocked it to throw a new ROM on. You think they'd reject my phone if I send it in unlocked still with the carrier ROM restored or is there a way to lock it again (upgrade to DLOAD or whatever I guess)?

"You can identify you CPU chip by below command in terminal.

my device shows an error

"error: device not found"

i am currently on franco.kernel and i wanted to know if my CPU chip is fast or slow using the above command posted on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2048739 but it only shows the above error. can someone please explain me why am i getting that error?

thanks in advance
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smacksa:
"error: device not found" is pretty self-explanatory. Your device isn't communicating with your computer. Make sure USB debugging is on and you have the correct drivers.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannaoj:
i am using the terminal emulator and i have the USB debugging on :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smacksa:
Ah, ok. You can just drop the "adb shell" part and it should work. That leaves you with "dmesg | grep PVS". You will need root access to do it from inside the OS so if you are rooted type "su" and hit enter (granting permissions if you haven't done so before) before using the command.

Yeah I came across that thread before. While it's a nice looking case it may not protect against drops as the website mentions. Plus I prefer to shop Amazon since I have Prime and a gift card.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Vanquiz:
If that's the case, I think your best option is the cruzerlite, since both elago or ringke will give you worse protection against drops compared to the one I linked you above.

Good luck in finding the best case for you. I myself still buying cases here and there, havent found one that really I like best, good protection while maintaning super slim fit ... I know that it doesnt exist, lol, but finding one that close to that is so hard ... sigh

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kchen96:
So I just recently started to tether my laptop with my laptop and it uses a lot of data! Just wondering if most of you who tether have unlimited data? Many of the pages I load on my laptop, the same on my phone users alot less data! Clicking 3 times (going through 3 pages) to access my bank status online, and then sending one email from within my computers windows 8 mail app used 12 mb within about 2 minutes! Also just leaving tethering in with no pages running on my laptop slowly uses data? Probably something running in the back but it's like 1mb every minute or so? Adds up! Just wondering what tethering for everyone else is like.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] optytrex:
Most mobile websites are designed to consume less data (therefore loading faster as well) but I think it depends on what you do. Some e-mails never go past a MB and other (such as the ones that come with attachments) can quickly fill up. More than anything it depends on what you do.

If you're doing to be downloading movies and programs then I suggest unlimited data but generally you can't gauge that just by saying "this is what I'll do" because it never stays -- social networking, business, entertainment, curiosity -- it all adds up for me!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
I have an HTC Amaze.

It boots fine although I see no logo or anything until I have to press the power button to turn screen off and back on to see lockscreen.

Tried the AIO kit to unlock bootloader and all that jazz. I get nowhere, says everything is done and then nothing is different except on the first

reboot it shows a green circle with arrows then moves to a red traingle with an exclamation point in the middle.

I have tried to put the RUU on the EXTERNAL SD and boot into HBOOT. Guess what, HBOOT is NOT there somehow. I can hold the volume down button and the power button down for the whole Obama administration and still get no HBOOT, not sound, boot, or vibtration, I can press these buttons in any combination known to man and still get no HBOOT. The AIO kit cannot boot me into HBOOT either.

I have tried the unbrick project instructions using Linux and my phone is not recognizeable apparently becuase it is not bricked per say.

All I want is to unlock this bootloader and load a custom ROM to improve some things like EXTREME lag and horrible battery life.

I have completed the AIO kit STEP BY STEP, HTC DEV UNLOCK ID and ALL....... Does anyone have any solid firsthand experience with these issues? Is my screen simply not working? If that is the case can you let me know which button combinations are required to have this RUU read and loaded in HBOOT if it is simply from me not being able to see the HBOOT screen.

[HTC Amaze 4G] daorderdillon:
Do u have a screen shot
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
A screen shot? Picture an HTC Amaze with a black screen and my fingers on the power button and volume down buttons. Not picture blood coming out of my nose and eyes from frustration.
[HTC Amaze 4G] daorderdillon:
What did u do before it got like that

---------- Post added at 03:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 AM ----------

Flash a different hboot
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
Did nothing, didnt realize it was like this until I used the AIO kit.

How do I flash another HBOOT?
[HTC Amaze 4G] filthygoat223996:
When you were on AIO did you follow all the steps exactly?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jkozan:
Pull the battery out for 10 seconds replace and try again? It wont go back to the bootloader if you dont do that first.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
Steps completed exactly.

Battery pulled many many times. Been working on this for a month...
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
When I use AIO toolkit to boot into bootloader its like it just turns my phone off.

The screen goes black. I am not sure if this is a screen issue or what?
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
Do a 60-sec battery pull.

Then WITHOUT pushing ANY buttons (incl soft-keys/touching the screen), put it back together & charge it. Overnight. With an AC-plug adapter.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
I have completed this as well, many times at this point. I REALLY appreciate everyones help and now you are starting to see why I am so frustrated.

Hook it up to the computer and try installing hboot using adb
[HTC Amaze 4G] jvamps:
what he said! honestly bypass any program and do adb commands to see.

I'm a electronics tech. and I've noticed a problem like that before. one of which was water damaged which was shorting out 2 pins on the lcd connector.

The other would only enter bootloader when using adb only
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
So your phone is 100% charged?

Because there is an issue with the Amaze that causes the exact black-screen behavior you have, caused by a dead battery getting stuck in a deadlock-condition between the power-on routine & the charging routine.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
Yes 100%. How do I install hboot using adb? Any step by step process I can follow? Thank you.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
Jvamps, the water damage sounds like a possibility. It's like everything is perfect but I just can't see hboot. When I boot normally I don't see anything until I notice the soft key bleedthrough then I press the power key to turn off screen and press it again and voila the lock screen. I don't see the boot screen at all.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
Have you tried forcing it to boot into bootloader with adb commands? Like so:

Adb reboot-bootloader
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
Yes, I have but I will try again this evening. It is like something is keeping my screen off during this process.

Why would I never see a boot logo.?
[HTC Amaze 4G] daorderdillon:
Last time that happen to me was when I didn't s-off properly
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
This might be what happened and the guy who sold it to me didn't S Off properly, nevertheless how do I fix it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
Just a question- Do you have fastboot stuff also installed on the computer?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
I did but then I went to Ubuntu last night and am learning it.

Should I go back to Windows or is it simple with Linux? I am by no means computer illiterate but it takes a bit

to learn a new system.

A step by step process with room for common sense would be very much appreciated.

Can't thank you guys enough for all this assistance.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
I'm talking about Windows. (I'm not too experienced with Ubuntu either :P )

Do you have fastboot drivers on your Windows OS?
[HTC Amaze 4G] daorderdillon:
Complete the s-off properly do it again
[HTC Amaze 4G] bproulx:
In all honesty the users and devs could ask u to try a hundred different things to try and fix this issue, but it sounds to me like it needs to be flashed back to stock and done over from scratch.

On a windows PC, plug the phone in while its on and you can see it connect, then *run* the ruu file from the phone's original carrier. These can be found thru a search of these forums. The ruu is not meant to be executed from or by the phone itself, rather from a computer with the phone connected. The ruu will force the phone into the proper flash mode and then flash it back to stock. Unless you're s-off already, then u will have to reunlock bootloader again etc.. pm me if u need more help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jvamps:
I've used the AIO toolkit before but had a problem gettting s-off with it, decided to use the S-off Joupunutbear method and worked. maybe try that?

As for the water damage...I'm doubting that its it, even though I've seen it before. Technically you should see other problems as well. very rarely will liquid damage effect

only ONE part of the components.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SnapplerX:
I totally agree with bproulx here. It sounds way too complicated you should consider going back to complete stock locked bootloader and start over. It just seems more simple that way and you can find out if it really is water damage and not a software complication.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
I have tried everything posted and nothing gets me any further.

ADB commands pushing RUU, rebooting bootloader, rebooting recovery, etc....

Linux unbrick project

battery pulls

button combinations

PH85IMG on sd card (not sure if it what buttons to press or even if I can get into HBOOT because I just have a black screen.

All In One Toolkit says successful on unlocking bootloader, locking bootloader, flashing recovery, rebooting into bootloader, etc... but NOTHING changes on this phone.

Charging overnight

100% charge

I POSTED in the development section because this is such a complex issue I thought it might assist in the development of this phone as this is CLEARLY an issue that a simple fix has not been found yet.

Any more help available?
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
So, after reading through this thread, I kind of have an idea as to your problem. Have you tried flashing a different recovery? Say 4ext? And, when you power on the phone, it will eventually load, you just don't see the splash screen and boot animation, correct?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
I have tried through the All In One Toolkit and it does not work but YES that is exactly what my phone is doing!!!!!!

It will eventually load and I will see the soft key bleedthrough then I press power and power again to see my lock screen.

Any ideas?
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
try installing 4ext recovery, and after it has flashed, use the 4ext app to reboot into recovery. 4ext here
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
Doesn't my phone need to be rooted and/or s-off to use do this?

I can't even get as far as rooting this phone. I can't access HBOOT or the stock recovery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
what happens when you put a ph85img file on your SD card? I've got the JB hboot I can post here for you to flash. Its set up to install as a ph85img file.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nulcon:
No, you just have to have your bootloader unlocked in order to use recovery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
Nothing really happens. I am not sure if it goes into HBOOT or not because I cannot see anything or feel anything like a vibration. I have simply held volume down and power for 10 minutes before and nothing. When I had PH85IMG on SD and did button combination for HBOOT it also did nothing.

I can't see a screen to know if I need to choose a prompt or if a screen is even there though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
Really? Why does thee 4EXT site and every post I read say that root is mandatory to load a different recovery? Not arguing just wanting to know.
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
have you tried going through the s-off procedure again? that will flash the jb hboot
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
Have never attempted the s-off procedure, will do this evening.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ninjistix:
it's impossible to try to s-off the phone unless your on stock rom, and android adb needs to be enabled from the phone or the JB toolkit wont recognize it
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
Ninja, I am on the stock ROM and have full functionality on that ROM. Digitizer isn't dead. I can control phone using adb but cannot get anywhere. I can go through with the RUU process and always get a signature error right before the RUU is finished transferring.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ninjistix:
do a md5 check on the file after you finish downloading it you an do a google search for a tool to check and verify it to make sure it was downloaded properly and its not corrupt or invalid in any way.. and if you cant see your screen in the bootloader try placing the ruu on internal sd card and external and look for a video online of how to flash a RUU and follow the steps... because after you start the process of accepting the install... the phone should automatically restart when its finished
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
what would I search for a video? Installing RUU from SD Card HTC Amaze or all are HTCs similar?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
Can you do a fastboot command for me? Do this command:

When running- do:

adb reboot-bootloader

after you wait a while, probably around 5 minutes, do this command:

fastboot getvar all

and then copy and paste the output here. Be sure to remove/hash out your IMEI number and your serial number before posting.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
As soon as I get to my car for lunch then you've got it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ninjistix:
this video is for the sensation but the process is the same for flashing it back.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOojDZMVXmk (it doesn't show you all the steps.. but thats from when the phone reads the ph85img file from the sd card) of what should happen
[HTC Amaze 4G] PesTicide.:
I have the same problem. My battery is charger completety to green than when I get to bootloader using Hasoon's kit. I cant see anything on bootloader screen, it show all black and when I reboot my phone, all I see grey screen.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
I am the same except I can boot up and use my phone although without any boot animations.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ninjistix:
boot animations aren't really an issue.. they can be disabled... so not having them isn't a big deal.. maybe the boot.img is corrupt maybe..
[HTC Amaze 4G] PesTicide.:

Cannot S Off as previoiusly mentioned because I am not rooted but can't root because I can't even get into recovery.

I'm still working on the script. Shouldn't be much longer.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
Script is done! Run this script at your own risk!

Keep in mind that I am NOT responsible for any damages that might incur from the usage of this tool.

Before running this tool, be sure to download THIS RUU: http://d-h.st/3VD

It will NOT work with any other RUU. Rename the RUU you downloaded to PH85IMG.zip.

Extract ALL the files in the attachment below to a folder. Make sure to put the PH85IMG.zip file in the same folder! After that's said and done, be sure to FULLY charge your phone!

Did you fully charge your phone yet? Do it!

After you have charged the phone, connect the phone to the computer with a USB cable.

Keep in mind that once you run this tool, DO NOT, under ANY circumstances, unplug the USB cable when the program is running, EVER!!!

Of course, be sure to back up any important data before running this tool, as this will install a RUU, which wipes your phone to a factory state. Don't assume that you will keep some files. Pretend that you WILL lose all of your data. Much easier that way :P

Also, don't forget to turn on USB debugging when you're on your phone. Hopefully I covered everything.

Remember the 3 C's- Create a backup, Charge, and Connect!

After you have done all that, then run the RUU Updater.bat script.

NOTE: Be sure to have the PH85IMG.zip in the SAME folder as the RUU Updater.bat script.
