[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Swapper 2 is known to brick some phones. Reading the review to Swapper 2, Samsung phones are mostly incompatible with Swapper 2: the app overwrites the all-important efs and (possibly) the extended partition table.

I suspect the app gets confused with the existence of the "internal USB Storage" (mmcblk1) and thus mounts the "system storage" (mmcblk0) instead.

You can fix it if you have the proper JTAG equipment *and* a dump from a known-good W. Other than that, SSC is your best bet.

Sounds like you are stuck in APX mode. A little reading will straighten things out.
[Acer Iconia A500] katz1328:
badly needed help

could someone give some links to fix this problem i dont have my cpu id and sbk, EUU stop working in my laptop, apx tools are not working could someone help me im badly needed some help w/ this matter tnx for thos who help me
[Acer Iconia A500] sixstring774:
I have the exact same issue.

Power button turns white - screen is black - no vibration from power button - seems dead.

The tablet was untouched and stock - I have never rooted anything or messed with any ROMs.

It had updated to ICS a while back and was working great until yesterday when it just wouldn't turn on besides the power button.

I have tried holding down the volume up and power button reset. I have tried the reset button. I have tried unhooking the battery.

After checking this forum I have installed the ACER drivers and plugged the tablet into my PC. It is showing up as APX.

I believe I am stuck in APX mode so from what I'm reading there is hope I can somehow salvage the tablet even though I didn't try flashing

anything and haven't screwed with it before.

Since I have never messed with flashing android stuff I really have no idea where to start as the guides seem to be for people who have experience. Where do I start? From what I'm reading I'll need a CPUID but how do I get that from a "dead" machine.

I am a quick learner if someone has the time to point in the right direction. Maybe I'll get hooked on flashing ROMs and can contribute something here.

Thanks for any help you can give.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
If yr tab is stuck in apx mode, you're gonna need yr cpuid to recover it, there is no other way....see cpuid guide in my SIG and checkout srbeens method using Linux to retrieve it or usbdeview....

If getting stuck happened spontaneously it points to the faulty chip issue requiring replacement from Acer... check post #3 of the root guide in my SIG for ways to recover from apex mode, you might get lucky but be aware that if its happened once it will happen again...

EDIT see this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37421071 regarding new motherboards on eBay
[Acer Iconia A500] sixstring774:
Thank you for the info. I was able to get my cpuid and sbk last night following the guide that used Ubuntu live cd. It was fun to play with Linux again.

I want to try and recover and if it continues to be a problem I will replace the board.

Looking at post 3 from your guide it appears my next step will be to use nvflash.

I am a little lost on what I will be flashing since I don't have anything backed up (flash a recovery?) and don't have a custom ROM to flash.

I just a need a push in the right direction.

Thanks for the help.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Well done getting yr cpuid!!

If you want stock, your best bet is an Acer EUU. There's one in the guide which will take u back to HC 3.0.1. Blackthund3r has one in his acer OTA update thread too I think in dev forum....

Next step is getting out of apx mode...use lcd047's method in the cpuid guide....just use the image folder from your EUU ...and no need to do the boot loader part....Also use Linux again to run nvflash commands, no driver issues with that, unlike windows....

See how u go with that for a start. You should be able to OTA all the way to ICS with that EUU, if u want.
[Acer Iconia A500] sixstring774:
Well we are getting somewhere but I hit a snag.

After running nvflash command the tablet instantly vibrated and I now have the ACER logo on the screen and the words Entering Acer Download Mode in the corner. I'm not sure if the command ran correctly as there was an error at the end in regards to partitions

[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
OK bad data and partition error too...

Which EUU did u end up using?

tdv4 is known to reset partitions but in some instances fails. The babsector.rar file can be more successful... link in the root guide with some instructions how to use.

You're gonna need a ROM to flash and At this stage I'd suggest a custom ICS one...

babsector will/should also flash up the skrilax_cz v8 unlocked bootloader.

If u get still get a bad data error then yr tab is toast...BUT keep trying it 8, 10, 15 times you may get lucky

PS:

Oh check the euu image folder for the .bat file and see if the odm data values match with what u are using manually.

There are 2 values used in different euu's and no-one as ever explained why this is....the one u used and this one 0x300d8011

To leave download/apx mode the windows command is nvflash -r --go

See vaches post bottom of post 3 in root guide, for more nvflash commands. You might just get lucky;)

good luck!!

[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Its not looking good m8:(

Someone else posted ebay have new m/b's listed for $50, you may want to look into that??

Couple of things to note though:

maybe just a copy/paste error but

you wrote: ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop/root-3.2.1/Image$ sudo ./nvflash --bt --odmdata 0x100c0105

should be nvflash --bct flash.bct --setbct --configfile flash.cfg --create --odmdata 0xb00d8011 --bl bootloader.bin --go

the BCT error - if you d/l apxflash tool and run it....you MUST dump, save then use your tabs BCT when u get to the "bct window" - carry on with the tool and then put your tab in apx mode manually - just before the flash you'll see a window with a couple of check boxes "show nvflash commands'" check that to show any flash errors....flash it and see what happens

failure to write to mass storage - just another symptom of the "bad sector fault"

you might try a factory hard reset via rotation switch - this should wipe all userdata and cache and has been known to fix a few problems

With all the tools and some persistence (otherwise known as banging one's head against a brick wall. lol) something may end up working....thats all I can offer you at the moment...others who have been in this same situation will post something like you did...whoa all of a sudden it worked!!!! Be aware though it will happen again sometime in the future unfortunately...as I said before, your best bet is gonna be ebay
[Acer Iconia A500] sixstring774:
Well I tried for a few more hours to get something flashed and finally gave up and ordered a new board. Since this thing bricked itself without me ever screwing around with the file system I've got to believe it's a hardware issue. Hopefully the new board will last longer than 14 months like this one. Thanks for the tips on trying to revive it. After installing the new board I might get into some of this custom ROM stuff. What do you suggest for a ROM?

I need a little help my device is stuck in apx mode (blank screen with power led on) i have uid (cpuid) and sbk i have read a lot fom this forum and have all the tool to root, flash, load.. But my main problem is that when i reset my acer a500 and the usb is attached the windows 7 recognizes the driver and (sound pops up) and the driver (acer picasso usb boot recovery driver) is there but no tool e.g apxtool or fastflash or ics rooting nothing works or regocznies the device coz when i press any option or press the key to continue the drive drops and vanishes from the window usb list in device manager and i have to manually reset acer again to get the driver back but still no use as command prompt tells me that no device is attached or found. Please help as this acer is my wifes gift to me and im trying hard to get it back its totally dead :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mc4ndr3:
My friend had an old HTC Windows Phone, and one day the screen cracked. Dev tool! He was kind enough to let me use it (he's since upgraded to a sweet Lumia), and I'd like to begin by rooting it.

Will I absolutely have to reboot into Windows in order to root the HTC, or is there a tool for Mac OS X that will do the job?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] titi66200:
Model of htc ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mc4ndr3:
I would have specified earlier, but the screen was locked and the case doesn't have identifying features.

* Windows Phone 7.5 Mango (7.10.8107.79)

* HTC mwp6985 (HTC 7 Trophy)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Leo_zodiac:
if you have mango, your bootloader is 4.5 or 5.1

first you must downgrade your bootloader version using gold card method.

after that you Hspl you phone and use a Custom ROM on your phone.

note: your data on your phone will deleted during this works . . . so make a backup before that :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
To actually answer your question: I doubt the flashing tools will work on OS X, but they might be available. The program is called RUU (ROM Update Utility). As for installing HSPL, that requires a driver and a program that are also unlikely to be available for OS X. Creating the GoldCard can be done on OS X, since it understands the FAT filesystem, but that's probably the only non-Windows-specific step. I'm not even sure if the Mac connector app allows sideloading apps; you may need to reboot to Windows just to install anything after rooting (although custom ROMs nearly always have XAP installation built in).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
I would install a Vurtral machine of XP or Windows 7 on your MAC if you want to do this...

If you let us know what Model HTC it is (or post a picture of it as most people would know by a quick look), we could get you to the exact process for your device. Each device is a little different int he process but, I know for a fact, I have not seen any of the tools for OSX or Mac (what ever you want to call OS X), using a VM that can connect to the USB port would save you a LOT of stress trying to get a Windows App to run on a OS X machine(if even possable for the 3rd party apps).

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jamessteelforth:
1. What is a bootloader?? Do all phones have bootloaders?? My maxx is supposed to have a locked bootloader, what does that mean?? Is development for the phone harder??

I know that motorola said that maxx HD will have an unlocked bootloader "to assist development", and i noticed xda forums for Razr HD show 2 links/sections for android development. How are the two related?

2. What are fastboot files?? Why is there so much emphasis on getting the CORRECT fastboot files. I remember my OS version being Asia Retail something-something. RSD Lite is mentioned quite often with fastboot files. Do i need it??

3. Now, i have rooted my phone, if something goes wrong and i want turn into service, can i reinstall the stock OS and give it for servicing without Motorola people knowing that i ever rooted my phone.

Elaborate and detailed explanations are welcome

Lastly, i'd like to thank all the devs for giving clearcut straight forward instructions so that Noobs like me can also root their phones and install cool ROMs. Thank You!!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] assassin34:
What is a bootloader??

Bootloader is a piece of code that runs before any operating system is running. And yes all phone infact all laptops,PCs have them. MAXX and Razr series are having locked bootloaders and development is hard cuz you can't install custom kernels and making full use of ur phone's hardware is not possible.:(

What are fastboot files??

Fastboot is protocol used to update the flash filesystem in Android devices . SO in layman's term's it's like ur XP OS CD....if something is messed up you can always install OS back to stock,.....And yes correct fastboot is required cuz of locked bootloader u can't install different regions fastboot files cuz they are all different....And to fastboot you have to use RSD but there are other ways to given in forum but RSD is the easiet atleast for me...

Now, i have rooted my phone, if something goes wrong and i want turn into service, can i reinstall the stock OS and give it for servicing without Motorola people knowing that i ever rooted my phone.

Yes u can reinstall the stock but dude in india service center is **** and they can't even determine anything and even im from bangalore only so i had given my rooted phone to them for service and guess what they gave new phone after 15 days.....

Hope it helps and answers ur questions....:)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jamessteelforth:
1. So where do i get the fastboot files for indian versions of our maxx??

2. Does locked bootloader mean that i cannot install ROMs made for JB kernel??

3. What was the problem with your piece??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] assassin34:
1. Somewhere in this forum there was fastboot file for asia retail....but that file is been removed so u have ask some dev to upload it...

2. Yes...but there are other ways to install JB kernel but are not recommended for noobs...better wait for OTA or go for D-wizz if u want to try JB..

3. I had insatlled some CM9 rom which caused deep battery drain resulting in mobile not to power on at all....tried all ways to bring it back to life but failed finally have to give it to service center located in jayanagar 4th block...they gave me new mobile but didn't said anything abt problem....So its better to be carefull with our phones cuz motorola has shutdown their services in india...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] metalhead_rulz:
And what about flashing kernel?

How does it differ from flashing ROM?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] assassin34:
A kernel is a layer of code that allows the OS and applications to interface with your phone's hardware. The degree in which you can access your phone's hardware features depends on the quality of code in the kernel, where as ROM contains the interface to allow user to interact with Kernel. So most rom's are having their own kernel but not in case of our phones cuz of damn locked bootloader there are no custom kernels but there is methods available to use custom kernel by bypassing bootloader. So basically kernel flashing gives u better battery,hardware tweaks where as ROM gives u better interface and other software level tweaking.Hope it helps
[Motorola Droid RAZR] metalhead_rulz:
Thanks a lot

Many thanks assassin34 for your answer.

So in case of our phone, flashing the kernel by bypassing bootloader what happen to the existing ROM, will it work or need to be installed again?

Cheers

Metalhead_rulz
[Motorola Droid RAZR] assassin34:
if ur using safestrap or Bootmenumanager then u can retain existing rom's but to bypass bootloader u need to use kexec based ROM which are available in this forum....but the rom is not yet full functional i mean there are some bugs but u can always try if and only if u r experienced enough :) ....if ur newbee then stay away from it just a suggestion.....:)

Lexus ISF sound

I thought some may be interested in this. I converted a MP3 I got from Lexus that is an ISF starting up and revving.

I didn't use for the Spen but as the bootup sound instead. Thus the filed is called "PowerOn.ogg" If you want to use for the started, just add to the directory: system/media/audio/ui/SPR/ On a side note, I have no idea why there are so many PowerOn.ogg files on a our phone. But that's the directory that worked.

Of course, you need to be rooted, and use an appropriate file manager that can do root access. You'll need -rw-r--r-- permissions enabled.

If you're going to use for something else, just remain it appropriately.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] patrick_1:
