[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
Hey Everyone,

Okay, I am NOT going to do it myself.

I would like to hear from anyone in the US who got their N7100 glass fixed.

Where you got it done, How much did it cost.

I've seen lots of posts of places that I could send it to - I'd like to hear from anyone who actually got it done and how it came out.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

So the micro-USB port on my Galaxy S3 got spoilt (details here).

I ordered a new port and tools, and I've opened up my phone to get the PCB out with help from disassembly videos on youtube. But I want to get some help (videos or just talk through) for unsoldering the current port and soldering the new one, coz it's tiny. I'm an electrical engineering junior at college, so I have experience soldering pins on breadboard chips, but nothing smaller than that. :/

Looking forward to some help, guys! Thanks :) :)
[Hardware Hacking General] Renate:
I was waiting for somebody else to jump in, but since they didn't...

You can solder teeny-tiny things with non-optimal tools.

You just have to be careful.

I'd suggest that you get some old junk circuit board and try removing parts first.

You don't want to apply so much heat and pull so much that it pulls the copper off the board.

Solder wick or solder suckers can be helpful for removing excess solder.

For a connector, I add solder to make a bridge over the contacts, quickly dance the solder tip over all the contacts and lightly pry the connector with a small screwdriver.

Clean up the board removing excess solder.

Clean the board with a Q-tip and some rubbing alcohol.

Tin the new part with solder, then "smack" it to get rid of the excess.

By now there should almost be enough solder on both the connector and the board.

Position the connector and dance the soldering iron over the contacts.

Inspect with a good magnifier (if you have one).

I just did a 10 pin 1mm pitch ribbon connector this way.

Now I have a kernel console on my Nook.

Good luck.

Edit: Oh, I didn't see the other post where your problem was just a dirty connector.
[Hardware Hacking General] Awreccan:
Thanks!

Thank you for the reply. I still haven't fully resolved the problem. Cleaning the port out has returned charging abilitiy, but I can't connect the phone to a PC as a USB device still. So I might indeed need to use your guidelines above eventually. Thank you for them, and congrats on that Nook kernel console! :)

whats an Ingress? j/k but i too lost interest in it after waiting forever for the invite
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LocoRon:
This is a cool offer... sadly, I don't think you can actually give it away.

At least when I got my invite, even though it did send me a code, when I started the app up, I didn't need to put it in, it just new I was invited. In otherwords, I think the invite is tied to your account, and the code is pretty much worthless.

Don't blame you on having lost interest. I did as well. But, I got my invite early enough that I decided to give it a try. And the app was bad enough that I uninstalled it within a day.

Anyway, for those who are still excited and waiting to get in... I wish I could offer something more than "good luck," but as I can't... well.... good luck!

Got till 18th to buy 3 phones(add 3 lines). is the 16G N4 for $50 a good deal right now? (No expandable memory is botherome, especially if the SGIII or GNII has a super sale within the near future
[General Topics] Pennycake:
Of course it is.

If it's the right phone for the person buying it is a totally different question.

The real question is if the contract is worth it to you - that's where the big cost comes in. If the features benefit you enough to be worth it, go for it. If you don't need them, buying a phone at full price and going no-contract might save you money even with multiple lines.
[General Topics] PhxDroid86:
Cost would be about 360/upfront and 250/mo for 4 lines... not horrendous considering I was payin 223/mo for 4 lines on cricket 3G and will have 4 top of the line 4G/LTE phones for hardly anything more

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StyleUkno:
Hear me out here. I WAS running Franco kernel but went back to stock and also deleted the modified file that he posted that had to be deleted. I rebooted my phone and flashed the stock kernel that is floating around here on the forums. I went to settings to see what kernel I was running and was no longer on Franco. I click to download the OTA and it say that it is verified and downloaded. Click the install and reboot button and a count down starts to happen from 10 till it shows rebooting....and it stays three. I left it there for about 5 mins with nothing happening.

I download the OTA .zip file that's on the forums and try to install it with twrp and get the error 7.

Anyone have any ideas as to what I can do for this?

But the app itself signs the zip file. Well, I'll try.

Also, there's an option in CWM to apply update.zip on "Main Menu" as well as below the "choose zip from SD" menu.

Since the default name of zip file given by app2zip apk was 'update.zip', so I guess there might be some other way, than installing zip from SD.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] peRFect!:
Hello everyone..

After using ics in my xperia u, I felt its pretty laggy...

So im thinking of unlocking the bootloader..my only doubt is whether after unlocking the bootloader, I completely lose warranty or not..

Does relocking the bootloader restore the warranty or not?..ive seen that for unlocking bootloader, a code is needed which involves provision of Imei no., so does sony store the details in their servers about which phone's bootloader has been unlocked?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Cheers..:good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sherwinnn:
If you unlocked your bootloader, your warranty completely gone. If you know how to relock your bootloader back, then your warranty will restore back if the Sony service centre does not know you unlock bootloader.... unlocking boot loader needs your imei number so they can give you the bootloader code... sorry, my explanation very messy!!! Hope you understand it!!! :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] peRFect!:
thanks for replying..:)

if i relock the bootloader..are there any traces left behind of unlocking the bootloader..

i keep flashing custom roms in my tab 2, but there is no bootloader lock in the tab and i can reclaim my warranty by flashing the stock rom and clearing the binary counter!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Msonata:
I guess this is relevant...

I unlocked the bootloader of my Xperia Neo in order to install custom roms / kernels. Later I noticed that my screen had some objects burnt in it (most likely due to excess heat).

I reverted to stock firmware, relocked the bootloader and sent the phone for warranty repair. They replaced the screen and the touch panel, no questions asked.

In my case, there were no problems with the warranty despite the previously unlocked bootloader. Note that the situation might not be the same for you (different problem, repair staff etc).

In other words, there is a chance that unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty of your phone. It is up to you to decide whether it is worth the risk.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
Yes there are traces left behind if you unlock and relock your bootloader-its the DRM keys.They are lost forever once you unlock your bootloader and even if you relock your bootloader,they won't get back.

And if a service center checks for DRM keys,then they'll surely know that the bootloader has been unlocked and you cannot invoke your warranty.

Does testpoint method work on 2012 models? Bcoz that method unlocks BL without loss of DRM keys.

Hi,

Regretting this now but was trying to try out a different ROM after a long day so probably missed a step somewhere....

The situation now is that following normal procedure, my Nexus was wiped of user data, new ROM zip file copied across and loaded using recovery mode. After that, it had some error setting permissions with the new ROM and did not install properly (loaded but blank screen, apps, settings etc would not load).

I tried the process again and the same result, but now, I cannot even get adb working, the device is coming up simply as an unknown device and I cannot force install the google usb driver to get adb working again - so now I cannot even copy stock across to the Nexus.

My question is, without adb working now, have I fully bricked it or can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks :(
