[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Never mind, I got it sorted. I finally found a recovery that it was willing to flash on the bootloader, and then once that was done I could flash the superuser.zip I'd used on mine a year or so ago. That allowed partial root access, so I was able to then flash a rom which was rooted anyway. Job done. :good:
[HTC Sensation] r12500:
I recommend you to try 4ext recovery. It's way better than CWM and team win.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I already use 4ext and have since put it on my friends phone too, cheers though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] FranAmestoy:
Something very strange, I checked the time on the phone while I was seating on my car, then I came home, and when I sat on my desk the phone was completely off. At first I though it might be an empty battery, so I plugged on the wall charger, but NOTHING happened. I tried the charger on another phone and worked, so the problem was the phone.

Took out the battery, put it back again and tried to enter recovery or download mode, none of them worked. (Even the 4 touch keys don´t light up, exactly like when you try to turn it on without a battery).

I left it charging all the night, and in the next morning, it was all the same.

About the phone

Because of the forum, its obvious that is a sgh-i777 AT&T SGSII. I changed many times of ROM, but I was running a custom one called "Alliance", wich is Touchwiz based and so stable, that I decided to keep it (flashed it maybe 3 months ago).

Regarding the installed apps, I had "RAM Manager", on the "more multitasking" preset, also had "STweaks" on the default profile, a task killer called "Speed Booster", "Next Launcher" and a bunch of games.

About the battery

I went to a store and asked to try a new one, but It didn't worked at all. The guy at the store told me that maybe it was a "Motherboard" (or something like that) issue, so I left the phone there to see if the can fix it, but they didn't have any luck. (I have to admit that it wasn't an official Samsung service center, but a friend's shop, so its probable that they dont know much about this kind of stuff). Besides, if you look closely at the phone, you cant see that the screws were untouched, so it seems that they didnt even try to repair it.

Another important thing is the battery "lifestyle" that I always used with the phone: Usage, from normal to exhaustive during the day and let it charging all night, everyday. I notice some alarming overheating when playin hard games (so hot that I quit playing and put the phone on the floor to make it cooler), this maybe has fried something inside.

I insist in the fact that I dont think that the battery is the problem because It didn't worked with a new one.

Well, the last "strage" thing that may have something to do, is that I plugged the USB cable to a "broken" car charger, causing the car fuse to burn, but I dont know if that could affect the phone somehow. (Notice that this episode ocurred 1 week earlier than the sudden death, so I dont think is a problem...)

So, this is it. Hope you can help me, because I miss my phone quite much (1 week no use...) and I would really love to have it back.

Kind regards,

Francis

P.S.: I took a lot of time writting this, try to be polite and helpful with the answers.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
Adb portable in my signature can help reboot you to download mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] FranAmestoy:
In fact, it didnt worked, because the phone does not react when plugged, so it is not detected by the pc nor ADb. Nice try anyways
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
If your phone does not respond to battery, computer, or wall charger then it is what is known as a hard brick.

Your device may have been damaged by the car charger as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
@FranAmestoy,

If you are getting absolutely no response from the phone, and nothing you can do has any effect, then try one last thing (if you haven't already). Pull the battery and leave it out. While holding down both volume buttons, plug in the usb cable. The computer will supply the power. This will put a phone into download mode, but if there is no response to this, then at least you know for sure it is not a battery problem.

There is a difference between "hardware failure" and "hard bricked".

Technically speaking, hard bricked means a firmware problem, usually with the primitive bootloader or the primary bootloader. Such a problem can be fixed using equipment and a technique called jtag, by which the damaged bootloaders are reinstalled. This supposes that the hardware is still functioning correctly.

On the other hand, if the phone has damage to the eMMC memory, or some other hardware failure, then the only remedy is to troubleshoot and repair the hardware. This is perhaps what the technician was suggesting when he said it could be a mother board problem.

Judging from your description of the occurence, it doesn't sound like you did anything that would result in a hard brick. But then I don't know if you actually mentioned everything relevant. In order to find out, you would need to get the phone to a competent technician. The guy who owns Mobile Tech videos is highly respected here. If you wish to pursue getting it repaired, I would suggest that you call him and go over the problem with him, find out his prices, see if he thinks it is worth it, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
I have used MTV before and I can say their service was wonderful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] FranAmestoy:
Now this is what I call "help"

I have to say many thanks to creepyncrawly and Red_81 for giving me the kind of answer that I was looking for.

In a few minutes I will try that USB power method, and see what I get.

Regarding your suggestion, I do very appreciatte your kindness and recomendation of where to take the phone to, but my problem is that I bought the phone in the USA, and I live in Argentina, so its way out of my reach to get what you recommend. Anyway, a few minutes from home there is an official Samsung store, that apparently, offers technical assistance, so I will try luck by going there.

For now, I still say you many thanks and I will keep you informed about what I get.

Kind regards,

Francis
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] FranAmestoy:
If the car charger burned down the phone, how can be possible that it continued working during a week before the dropout? I am not saying that's not the problem, but I dont know if there are any relations with so much time in between...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RootTheMachine:
No, USB + both volume keys
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] FranAmestoy:
Donwload also didnt work...

As the title reads, I still dont have any luck.

Guess the final call will be to take it to the technical service T_T

Are those things "fixable"? Will be impossible to get a new phone if I cant sell this...

(Now Im missing it a lot...)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Agreed. I think it unlikely, but it is possible.

Hard brick repair with jtag would be around US$50.00 plus shipping. Hardware repair would be at least that much in the US unless you can do it yourself. It may be more economical to replace the phone.

When you go to the Samsung store, ask them if it is still under warranty. The phone can be sent to Samsung for repair if they can not do it at the store. I have no idea what that would cost if it is not under warranty. Here in the US we would ship it off to a Samsung repair shop somewhere after talking to them over the phone. But I've never had to do that so I have no idea.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] FranAmestoy:
Thanks for the ideas, but will be impossible, because I bought the phone through eBay and I dont have the invoice, also the phone is rooted and with a custom ROM (triangle alert appears), so the warranty is "super-voided", no chances at all to get it back to stock (remember he's dead...)

I will cross my fingers to see if the can tell me if the can fix it, and how much would it cost.

My major concern is that the failure became impossible to fix. In that case, what will I do? I just can't offer a dead phone on internet for $2... Obviously I need to make some money from him in order to get a new one... However I still have some faith in the official store :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You would likely get more than a few dollars selling it on ebay for parts. The digitizer and other parts are definitely worth something. But of course it's not going to be $200.00. Anyway, good luck. I hope you find it is fixable.
[HTC Rezound] Jared King:
OK so I bought a HTC Rezound off of a kid at school for $60. The battery on it is bad, but oh well I knew that before I bought it. So there was no 4G LTE sim cars in there. Do I have to have that to unlock the device and put on another carrier.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxsydenxX:
Okay so I just got mine. Actually havent even opened it. But i have heard so much about light bleed and other various build quality issues that I thought I should get a few questions off of my chest

#1 If this does have(Extensive) light bleed, am I better off going to google and getting a replacement. (Ive never done this before so I qouldnt know how)

If so how?

#2 What are the most stable roms I can slap on this pup right now? Any kernels that improve on some of the more known location services bugs?

#3 What is the return policy on this. Is it like a standard 1 year manufacturer warranty that covers build errors? Or can I only return it within 15 days.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killerapl:
Walmart you have 15days. Don't call google if its within 15 days just take it back to Walmart. After 15 days you would contact Samsung for a repair. You have one year warranty.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormricker:
IMHO the light bleed fuss is a non-issue....at least for me. I honestly do not notice it at all. Not saying it is 100% not there....it just has ZERO negative impact.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djd338:
Same here. I bought my tablet to use & enjoy which I do constantly. I looked for it only because some people go nutz about it & wanted to see what the fuss was about. I can't see the big deal. On normal use I've never seen it or worried about it. It's a total non-issue for me also & as stormricker stated: ZERO negative impact.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rodeojones:
I'm not 100% certain, but I believe because you purchased it at Walmart a return through Google is not an option (for my 2 RMAs I was asked if I purchased my tablet through Google Play when I called them). As mentioned above, Walmart allows returns within 15 days. After that I believe you're forced to deal directly with Samsung, who will attempt to repair the issues in question. However, reading other threads leads one to believe that workign with Samsung can be a bit difficult. I've read more than once on here about a tablet being kept for weeks for a repair. I suggest you open it, get it up and running and see if it's acceptable for you. If not, return it to Walmart or exchange it for a new one.

Regarding light bleed, the topic has been somewhat overblown on here. Yes, it exists, and there certainly are bad cases of it (my 2nd unit was quite significant). You'll definitely notice it if you use the light bleed app or go into a dark room with brightness at 100% and a black background. But if you can't see it under normal circumstances don't let it worry you.

Regarding ROMs, I like Steve Spear's AOKP PUB builds, but there are quite a few other great choices. CM10.1 and Paranoid Android seem to be popular options as well. Just give a few a try until you find one that works for you.

Cheers!

Bought my Nexus 10 at Staples and last night turned up the brightness all the way to try see what the hell everyone is talking about, don't see nothing!

We are making a website so the idea is that

- you can design your live wallpaper, upload it by the editor

- with your android device you choose the wallpaper you want and voila

Next week we plan to release a functional platform

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MrDerby01:
SOLVED

Found the answer to this issue.

You will first need a rooted phone and edit the file using ES File Explorer or Root Explorer.

Open the file “factorymode” in /efs/FactoryApp directory, it probably says OFF. Change it to ON then reboot your phone.

Also, you can use adb shell to do this too:

adb shell

su

echo -n ON > /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

I installed go launcher zedge application whatsapp viber skype everything worked fine and the price of that phone was $150 only. Even when i inserted my sim into that my GSM network sent me the setting of GPRS & MMS of Samsung Galaxy S3. In about phone it was written galaxy s3. Android 4. something...

I just want to ask one thing that can we install Samsung Stock Firmware on that ? So we can get rid off chinese play store? And some other chinese apps which are unable to delete. So it become like real s3 ?
