[Acer Iconia A500] jsimonson0:
So my A500 had a problem with random keys registering. If on the home screen, apps in a certain region would launch randomly (using the stock launcher). If in apps, keys in a similar area would register on their own, initiating whatever the corresponding actions were. If watching a video, the screen would randomly resize during playback.

After having the system lock-up and needing to reload a stock HC 3.01 ROM, the key-presses stopped. After loading a rooted HC 3.21 again (which isn't the same root I had initially), I noticed the random keypresses started again. I'm now running stock again and no random keypresses for at least an hour. Played several videos while I searched for something similar on the boards.

So 2 different rooting processes produce random keypresses, and rolling back to stock twice gets rid of it. Has anyone seen this before? I'm considering re-rooting all the way up to ICS or JB, but I'd like to know if I should expect that behavior again.

Can you tell us what recovery you are running?

Can you tell us the recovery you are running? Personally I never had the issue but maybe someone can figure out what is going on if you tell us which recovery/rom is doing it.
[Acer Iconia A500] jsimonson0:
The first time my recovery was jacked up and unusable, i guess i had the half-root but no unlocked bootloader so nothing would install. The second time was CWM as installed by Acer Recovery tool. It was the later version of CWM, don't remember the exact number. The initial half-root was months ago

If it helps, i used the rooted EUU the second time i rooted which started with TWRP and was updated to CWM after the fact. Being stock again, its on the stock recovery. I can look up the EUU filename once I get home tonight; it's on my home computer.

EDIT: Poked around a little cause I knew I got the 2nd root EUU here on XDA, here's the link for the process I followed over this past weekend:

I've encountered the same issue, but I also replaced my touch screen so I attributed it to something I did. It is extremely annoying. I've not tried to reset back to stock is or another rom. Maybe it's work a shot. I'm using the v8 unlocked bootloader and thors latest cwm.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hkcharlie:
I bought a Galaxy S Glide (I think the same as the Blaze) from an outlet in Hong Kong on import from Canada (on boot it says "Rogers" so I can assume it's from Canada).

After using it for a week it suddenly stopped using the network and said that I need a lock code.

I went back to the shop where I bought it and they said they couldn't do anything immediately and would I like a replacement, which seemed like a nice thing to do.

However, after a couple of days I notice a glitch on the screen happen a couple of times.

I refused to believe it was a big problem (because it was my new phone right!) within a week the screen started to totally crash to the point that it would freeze in the boot up process.

You can see a picture attached of how the screen looks after I managed to do a hard reset.

When it starts to go like this, you cant do anything with it.

The guy at the shop wont change it or refund it, he claims I dropped it.

Samsung Hong Kong don't support it because it's from Canada and the only shop that knows what to do with it is the guy that sold it to me.

I'm taking the guy to the small claims court, but I'd rather have a fixed phone.

Any ideas please?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lorddavid:
Thats happen to me, is a problem with the roger version. Everything in internet say the problem is hardware, but now mines works perfect. So, is like a bug in the rogers, maybe hardware problem, but if can be fixed with software i dont think so.

If you flash ICS with superoneclick (will remove rogers bootscreen) the problem will be fixed, of course you can flash it with a tar image with odine and will have the rogers bootscreen too. With that the phone will work again.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hkcharlie:
links

I have searched for more information about this problem, but couldn't find anything, do you have any links to anything?

Thanks again for your help.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lorddavid:
they dont say exactly, but if you see users with similar problem, they have rogers version, at least all the user that i see with this problem.

Just do what i say, install ICS; and the problem will solve.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ninthsense:
Follow this http://www.theandroidsoul.com/andro...ich-update-for-att-captivate-glide-i927uclg9/ for installing the one click.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
I strongly doubt this, that looks and sounds like a hardware fault. But hey, if there's no warranty option, you've got nothing to lose...

-E- FWIW, I would boot it into download mode, and let it sit on that screen for an hour. Then plug it into your computer and make sure Odin sees it. If it hangs while in download mode DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING. You REALLY don't want your phone to hang mid-bootloader-flashing, that's an automatic fullbrick...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lorddavid:
That was all say, but, in odin my glide never freeze, only freeze while booting or charging too. But not in odin. And right now is working without any screen freeze.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hkcharlie:
So you have seen others with this problem? Where have you have seen these?

Can this be rolled back ?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ninthsense:
If the device is no more under warranty, I would say trying this would not harm the device anymore. Also this is a samsung released update so nothing unofficial about it.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lorddavid:
if you search in internet about freeze problem in glide you will see. Can be roll back with odin. But, if you have no warranty on your device, you dont have nothing to lose, and much to win if the problem solve
[Samsung Captivate Glide] luquiyahni:
My brother had this same problem on his glide (bought at newegg). I got him to install galaxym unlock (galaxsim? Something like that), and you purchase an inapp unlock for $3, and it runs, reboots your phone and you regain unlock. They claim its permanent. So far my brother didnt get locked again.

Is cheap, fast and you can also see in the reviews that there are more glides that used it and worked.

Hope this helps!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hkcharlie:
This helped with the frozen screen as shown in the picture?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lorddavid:
thats for unlock, is possible that your phone will lock again when update to ICS. my phone was too from newegg and is rogers, thats why i say is a problem with rogers version.

Do what i tell you, you have nothing to lose
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hkcharlie:
Thanks for thinking about my problem, but this solution misses one very big point, the phone that was locked was changed for the phone that has a screen that doesn't work.

I do not have the locked phone any more.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lorddavid:
probably will lock again after you flash ICS via odin, thats happen to me. Is not a screen problem, again, if you want to try to solve, do what i say before.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lyricalwax:
I have the exact same problem, was just about to post in the other thread about this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1953672

Bought my phone from Amazon US marketplace about a month ago (but live in the UK), and suddenly the phone did that on start up one day. However, I agree with lorddavid, it is not a hardware fault as it does not freeze in download mode. Samsung service centres won't repair as it does not have a UK warranty, and although I can get a refund by returning I would rather have a working phone.

Was very happy to read this, seems like I'll have to try it. Have been putting it off as it will wipe my phone which I did not want to do just yet - I have a lot of photos and clips which I can't exactly back up as it does not boot normally. Really annoying. Any way to access these/back up before flashing?

And another question, that ICS update is the first leaked one which carried a few bugs (as did the official UCLH2 one) - can I install the fixed UCLJ3 straight away? And do I need a rooted phone in the first place? In Rawr0w0's initial post it seems to suggest I do. Sorry for all the questions, and thanks in advance.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lorddavid:
dont remember, i think is the UCLH2, and i think that there was a odin flashable of the latest version (with bug fixes), you can try that (but dont know where download it :/ )

Do you have the photos in your internal storage? i think if you flash with one click, it will delete it, but if you flash the firmware via odin, it doesnt delete it (but i am not 100% sure)

And no, you dont need root to install roms via odin

This is UCLH2 without one click

http://androidromupdate.com/2012/09...-firmware-upgrade-official-kiesota-stock-rom/

And here is the latest version with bug fixes (like keyboard light)

http://androidromupdate.com/2012/11/10/i927uclj3-new-ics-4-0-4-for-samsung-sgh-i927-captivate-glide/

These are the officials. But the second link i never try it to flash because when i has the problem there wasnt that version
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lyricalwax:
Thanks, yeah that's where I was getting the files from, I'll try it tonight, will probably go for the second link, the UCLJ3 rom.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lyricalwax:
YES WAHOO!! My phone works! Thank you for the advice! I mainly got it from the other thread but without having read your attempt at flashing I would never have tried it - I'm so happy! I managed to make a back up and copy my media via CWM anyway, but everything was still on there including all my texts and whatsapp messages, and now I have ICM 4.04 too!

Phew I thought I would have to send it back, get a refund and order another one which is a massive pain and lose everything on my phone.

Hkcharlie, you need to try this!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lorddavid:
:D thats cool :) Enjoy the phone, is a great phone :D
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hkcharlie:
did you root?

did you need to root this or just do the Samsung upgrade to ICS here http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00048593&fm_seq=53023?

Is it still working or has the problem come back ?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asubiyyal:
So i just replaced my digitizer(touch panel) since it broke a while back. anyways i turn it on only power light works.

Then i tried the Hboot

volume down+power

i get the screen to work, so basically looks like my hardware is ok

Then i did recovery and all other options in the Hboot screen, nothing works

I also get this weird error(attached picture)

Does this mean my software is ****ed? If not, then how do i restore it?

If yes, how can i reinstall the stock/default htc software for the HTC DESIRE

And If the stock/default software is not possible either, what are my options?

Thank please help, I'm very new to this forum. Explain in layman terms.

Hi there is a way to have a lockscreen with live wallpapers. Its very easy just rename the LockScreen3.apk to LockScreen3.apk.bak, or just freeze it in titanium backup. I tough I share it if anyone interested. Again have a nandroid backup just in case.

When you first set it it is going to be see-through. The see-through part will go away after restart.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggcracker:
I've recently switched from Sprint to AT&T due to extremely poor cell / data coverage at my home. Now I would like to use my HTC Evo 4G for app development and for offline GPS navigation (it has much better GPS reception than my new Samsung Galaxy S III). I've searched this forum, and the other forums as well, using these search terms:

flash rom update without mobile data usage​

flash rom without mobile carrier plan​

flash rom without mobile data connection​

use phone as tablet without mobile data​

but have not found any relevant posts for my questions. I've also reviewed several of the guides regarding rooting and flashing new ROMs on the EVO 4G, but they all seem to assume that you have a service plan and want a data connection to the mobile carrier. I understand that is a normal thing and that my scenario is the exception, so that's probably why my searches have come up empty. I'm simply wondering:

1) Can I root and/or flash a new ROM onto my Sprint EVO 4G now that I no longer have a service contract with Sprint?​

I don't want the phone to connect to the cell tower for phone or data service, which I assume would incur charges, during or after the procedure.​

2) Is it feasible to do ROM modifications or Android application development on a device for which I do not have a service contract?​

Of course I understand that features involving the mobile carrier would be off limits.​
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soap:
All of this can be done without service. It just requires you know what you are doing. Its simple enough to root, you need to know what hboot version you have so you can follow the according procedure.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
Its like this, on your laptop you can make yourself an Admin without having Wifi

Same with rooting and your phone
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggcracker:
Thanks. I guess I was just being a bit paranoid that I'd get some fat charge from Sprint for the phone connecting to the cell towers during some of the reflash and boot processes before I could turn off the cellular radio (airplane mode). Not sure why I was worried, considering that the poor service at my home is the reason I switched carriers anyway. :laugh:

I now have an unlocked and rooted EVO 4G. Next step is to try out a JB ROM ...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m@ddroid:
Hi.An absolute noob to Evo rooting but not to rooting itself. I got a Evo 4g that I just want to use as an ultimate MP4 player for my kid. It's Baseband is 2.15.00.12.19 and is running 2.3.5. What root method works and has files that can be downloaded because I've looked at a bunch that seem obsolete now. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggcracker:
It's not the baseband version that matters when you're trying to figure out which method to use for rooting. It's the HBOOT version you need to check. The first step is to unlock the bootloader. If you have HBOOT 2.18.0001 like I had, you first need to got to HTCDev.com, create an account, and use the unlock utility on that site. Just follow the directions there. You'll need to enter a number located on the back of your phone underneath the battery, then they'll send a unique binary to the email address you used while registering, which you can then use to unlock your bootloader.

If you have an earlier version of HBOOT, there are other methods to unlock the bootloader. A little more searching in the EVO 4G forums on this site will get you better instructions than I can give.

Anyway, there are several more steps to do after your bootloader is unlocked before the phone is actually rooted. Since you've done this before, you're probably familiar with the rest of the procedure.

Hope that gets you started in the right direction.

By the way, I took the plunge and am now running a Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ROM called Dirty Unicorns V1.0 from Mazda, part of Team D.I.R.T.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggcracker:
Oh, thanks. But I didn't mean to imply that the cellular radio was an issue. I'm not using it because I don't want to - I no longer have a service plan with Sprint - so I intentionally have the cellular radio disabled.

Im tired of installing many ROM's and 2 different Recovery, some "cant open .zip" and having boot problems, and in other recovery, it can install roms, but other aslo cant open .zip, and also having boot problems,

Im really tired of reflashing stock ICS Fw then root, install Recovery again, after failing installing ROMs.. its too long to reflash, root, install recovery,, its waste my time and having headache after failing installing ROMs for almost a week

Is there any fast solution or what would you do after you fail installing ROMs and cant boot? even do you can enter recovery? what proper should do next? would you also reflash again stock ICS then root and install recovery?

or any other fast way solution..

Please help
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
Root and install recovery onto your device. Enter recovery and make a nandroid back up of your device. Flash your new rom and reboot the device. If you boot loop or the rom doesn't work or even if you just don't like it, enter recovery (may have to remove the battery to restart a boot cycle) and use your nandroid back up to restore your device.

Before flashing the new rom, you should make sure that the kernel is compatible with the one that is already on your device. If it isn't compatible, you will also want to flash the new kernel using fastboot/flashtool, and not recovery. Also make sure you have a back up of your rom's current kernel so you can flash the original kernel, if you decide to go backwards.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lilflix7:
Thanks I think that what im looking for.. the Nandriod backup..

gota way to find that now and how to install

Thanks a lot!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmm...the most easiest way it to unlock your bootloader first...then flash custom kernel...this can help you skip rooting and installing recovery again and again if something goes wrong cause all custom kernel is pre-rooted and got recovery by default....

next you need to find which custom roms you want to flash...some custom roms have their own kernel or flash any custom kernel that is compatible with the roms....

remember, custom kernel is important cause if you flash the wrong kernel, you might get bootloop after flashing the roms....

Its not been a year i have bought Nook ST w/ GL. Today when i opened it , it didnt boot and showed this on display ..

Good thing i didnt root or mess with the nook.

When i connect it to PC , it shows green light(near usb port) , after 5 sec or so shows orange light and then turns to green light.

Also under windows Explorer it tries to mount both the storage , but they are inaccessible.

Can anyone please help ?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
The fact that it tries to mount storage shows that at least it's not totally dead.

You might have gotten an over-the-air update that killed it or it might be a hardware problem.

Does the display ever change at all?

You might want to try taking it apart, disconnecting the battery, then reconnecting it.
[Nook Touch General] naveen_reloaded:
No , it wasnt connected to wifi .

No the display doesnt change. But when i first booted , it showed half black ,and half screensaver (simpson picure , which i had as screensaver) and then it went completely white . I tried hard shutdown > Back button 20 secs , then restart . It started and then displays this.

can you tell me how to do that ?

The thing is i liked NST w GL so much , i ordered it from india via a website , now if at all it needs repair , i need to ship it to US , and dont know if they (website through which i bought) will do it . :(

My initial thoughts were , what if display went caput , but then , if thats the issue, then it should mount the storages fine right ? could it be a firmware/software issue ? Is it possible to boot from SD card ?

Depending on the outcome , i will contact the website from whom i purchase and ask him if he could help , since its still under warranty. May be i should bear the shipping charges , but its better than buy a new one (almost 180$ , 10K Rs)
