I am backup my System image via TWRP and OTG too an external hd.

My internal Files I am also backup via OTG: I am use rsync. Using the adb backup method is also possible, but for me it is very slow and a bit insecure I think... I trust TWRP.
[Nexus 7 General] darkstarskater:
Thanks everyone. Still deciding if I'm gonna do it or not.
[Nexus 7 General] CFRTim:
Just unlock your bootloader if anything. That's all I did. The Nexus 7 is not preloaded with useless bloatware, so I didn't feel the need to root, and proceed any further. I even got the OTG cable to work on stock ROM, and I don't really care about any custom ROMs.

Great job!

Useful app for native Android dev. Therefore I think most of your users will be app developers rather than game developers (who are more likely to use a game engine / OpenGL).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toxvaerd:
Hey

After a few days of random rebooting, my Gnex wouldnt boot. It was just stuck on the "Google" screen.

So i decided to flash a clean image, but it only got to flash the first part. Cant remember what its called, but it said success in the toolkit(i know, i know). Then it just stopped, and the screen on the phone, the sceen had lots of spots in different colors, and only had a little text in the bottom. Not in the top as normal, so it must have stoped during a operation right.

But now it doesnt turn on. I get the OMAP4440 in device manager when i connect it to the computer, and i think my only hope is to do a OMAP Flash. But i cant find one for OMAP4440. I found one, but after i ran it, i noticed it was for 4460. I ran it again to see if the phone had gotten worse, but the OMAP Flash still catches it.

Anyone got a link for a OMAP Flash for 4440, so i can try with the right one?

Thanks

It briefly appears in device manager as 4440. So that's what it is right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oblikas:
Maybe you flashed another thing from OMAP4440 to your device.As I don't have the device,is hard to help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oblikas:
I think you just fried your EMMC...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toxvaerd:
I cant have used anything wrong to begin with. I went from a unstable device, to a non booting. Just stuck at boot. I had fastboot and ran a toolkit to reinstall a clean image(was on there allready).

I have used the exact same toolkit before without problems. But this time, it just stopped with all those vierd colors on the screen.

The OMAP 4460 actually seems to run as it should. I see no errors. But the phone is still as dead as before.

Any suggestions before i smash the damn thing with a hammer?

Hey Guys

Some help please.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] atlmtnbiker:
i have to return to asurion my lte today. the screen only shows colorful 'snow' (like tv's show in black and white when you go to a dead channel), but i know the phone still works because i could answer it by swiping the correct way when people call.

i'm obviously going to pull the sd card, but is there a way i can get into it and wipe anything else? should i?

and at this point i'm most likely not going to s-on/unroot since it has to go back today, but is that going to be an issue now that i have the new one? will i be hit w any charges or made to pay for the new phone outright?

thanks, All.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NoSkills1:
They do repairs at the Sprint store, factory defect touchscreens are free.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] atlmtnbiker:
i dropped it awhile back and cracked the screen. it had zero effect on anything. the 'snow' screen is most likely a hardware issue, but no one will budge an inch because of it being a preexisting condition, if you will.

it definitely has to go back, and that leads me back to my original questions. am i going to catch any ish for it being s-off/rooted and having gotten an insuranced refurb replacement and can i do anything about it if i can't access the phone through the screen?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
NO, you are fine. Insurance is not warranty so you are fine. If you are worried about personal info on phone I would smash it with a hammer before you send it off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NoSkills1:
I sent my original evo (rooted,s-off) back to assurion w/o problems. Other than Walmart assurion's cheaper with a lower deductable, and it takes a week to get a phone out of them, lol. But they come thru eventually. Next time I'd suggest "loosing" it, if needs replacement. Then there's NO worries. Good Luck!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] atlmtnbiker:
got mine overnight. didn't look into/think about losing it. gah...next time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] erikivy:
biker, although this probably won't help, scenarios like this are why I paid the $5 for Cerberus. You could wipe it remotely, even with a dead screen, as long as you have a connection to it. Just food for thought.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Andybkn:
Ok so I flashed a ROM for an International Galaxy S3 and I have a Sprint Galaxy S3.

The ROMs I found all being on the same forum really messed with my head... :p

But it will not do anything. The screen is black. If i plug it in nothing happens. If i press buttons nothing happens.

If I take it to Sprint do you think they will be able to get it to work again?

They won't be able to check if i am rooted since it doesnt show anything...

I already looked at the whole JTAG REPAIRs everywhere and I dont want to pay 60$ to fix my phone if Sprint can do it for free

Also I dont want to buy a USB JIG either.

I got this phone couple months back by the way
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] csmasn:
Sprint won't do it for Free if you are out of warranty. Maybe $35 with luck, $150 if you have TEP.

But you can try... Play the "it just stop working" game.

So then what do you suppose I do?

I could also say," oh I was watching a video on YouTube on how to restore my phone to like make it fresh new; and when I went to recovery mode or something, I guess I made a wrong turn and ended up here :p"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
The primary option you're looking for is a JTAG repair.

I believe you can purchase the materials yourself to do it, but if I've read correctly, you'd most likely have to solder stuff to other stuff (technical answer, I know!).

If you don't mind paying someone to repair it, you might want to try out Mobile Tech Videos. I haven't used their services personally and their website looks a bit on the low-budget end of the spectrum, but other XDA members have gone to them and they gave them a positive review.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Andybkn:
I did check out their website before but I was just wondering if sprint would do it for less to nothing $
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
I'm gonna stick with what The Root said, and say the following:

You done messed up, son. You flashed a ROM knowing full well that there was a chance it'd brick your phone. Now it's bricked because you didn't read all the information available to you. To expect Sprint to pay for your mistake is, if I may be frank, irresponsible. I know $60 may be a lot to some people, but you were messing around with a $500 piece of technology. But I'd say it'd be much better to take this situation as a learning experience, and in the future you'll never brick your phone again because you'll make sure to do 3 or 4 google searches and really do your due diligence before flashing something on your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tkepk181:
For what it's worth, I just paid the $150 TEP on my phone because I was trying to upgrade my TWRP to 2.4.2.0 and something happened that caused me to brick my phone. I know lots of people have said 'Oh, just go in and they'll do a factory replacement' but honestly you can get a phone the next day if you pay the fee.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Yes, but that's a bit different than "wondering if sprint would do it for less to nothing $"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tkepk181:
That's my point.........just accept that you screwed up and pay the consequences of your actions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Andybkn:
Wait what you are saying is I can just take it into the sprint store and I'll get a new phone the next day? Yes I know it is really irresponsible but like other people I have seen, we got confused with how the rooms are placed on the threads :p I am not saying that I will just give sprint my phone and make them suffer for my mistakes, but I was just asking
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tkepk181:
What I was saying is that if you file a replacement claim with Assurion, then they'll overnight you a phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
It depends. Do you pay the monthly TEP fee for your phone? If you're enrolled in the program (and pay the monthly fee), you can walk into a store and (for most situations) get a new (or most-likely refurbished) phone the same or next day (for the low, low cost of the $150 deductible). Typically no questions asked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tkepk181:
They can't give you a new one, they can only send you the 'certified replacements'......it has to do with agreements they have with Samsung. You can get a swapped brand spanking new one provided you are within the 14 day post purchase window.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Ah, I stand corrected. Also, I just remembered that you don't have to go into the store, just file a claim online.

I have only used the TEP once (for my old EVO 4G). Do you have to return the old phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tkepk181:
Yeah....but when they ship you the replacement phone, they also ship you the pre-paid envelope to ship back the defective device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DraggyWan:
Play dumb and pay the deductible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Andybkn:
You mean to go to the store and just pretend I don't know what happened? How much would the deductible be? I do not have TEP... If it is more than 60$ then might as well get it repaired in that one JTAG REPAIR website
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tkepk181:
They're not going to be able to fix it. JTAG might be your best option.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
If you dont have TEP then the best option is the JTAG repair
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Andybkn:
can I use a USB JIG to put it in download mode and then recover it? Or will the USB JIG not work because of how bricked it is?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tkepk181:
You have to actually create a short on the circuit board to force it into a modified download mode and have the bootloader image on your micro SD card. The USG jig is a component of what you will need, but it's not the only thing with the way that you're bricked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Andybkn:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ricky Divjakovski:
Can you boot into recovery?

Also I find it extremely hard to hark brick a phone, tbh I've only ever softbricked an android phone and completely recovered all of them, the only phone I didn't recover was an iPhone 3g while trying to install an android based Whited00r
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Andybkn:
another update.

looked at the devices connected to my computer and i found QHSUSB_DLOAD

it has no driver though. going to look it up now.

Also Ethernet Controller has no driver but I don't think that has anything to do with the phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ricky Divjakovski:
And if.I'm correct if you have an ad card inserted, you can mount sdcard via adb weather it phone works turns on completely or not
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tkepk181:
That sir is all the proof you need. There's nothing you can do but either JTAG repair or buy a new phone......you're bricked and there's no coming back easily. Sorry man. I've been there.......I was there on Wednesday actually so I know how bad it sucks. Good luck.

In his defense rooting is not illegal, just not appreciated by carriers but fully supported by Google. While fraud and insurance fraud is.

Not picking a side but it is ridiculous these people who flash other carriers roms on their device. If i crash my car on purpose or accident I still have to pay a deductible and my insurance goes up.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dante32278:
Rooting a phone has no moral or legal implications, hence AOSP and bootloaders that can be unlocked. Its against carrier TOS but that just means it is up to a user to modify or eff up their phone as they see fit without the safety net of carrier replacement. If you are that worried about rooting, Apple has this great phone ready for you to buy.

I didn't said was illegal, is against T.o.S. and tbh I agreed with you in all, yes how the hell they find the right one 1 minute after they bricked their phones. Won't never understand.

hello

I wonder if some developpers have already think about having the choice of applying a mirror effect ( horizontal or vertical flip ), and locking the rotation to 0/90/180/270.

practical application of these options: use a GPS software/Android at night with HUD mode ( head up display ) by placing the phone on the dashboard behind the wheel.
[General Questions and Answers] willfck4beer:
Genius idea

IT WOULD BE TITS!!! Heads Up Display (HUD)... for google maps, navigation, weather... and the like.

So much safer than mounting a suction cup structure and phone holder.

Don't know why we can't get this to work. Just want to mirror, flip, or invert on y axis the android screen?!?

The quick way, I think, would be to use a loopback virtual network client (vnc) or remote desktop app that is a server and client of itself.

All VNC apps are able to manipulate the display... adding a flip, mirror, invert, or translate y dimension can't be that difficult.

You'd take a performance hit... but who cares. Just want to use google maps and navigate (and android itself) in mirror mode.

I'd toss in $30.

Open to any other ideas.

this can be implemented/controled in android itself (Suflaceflinger or other lower level android display stack components ). The lowest level can be done at boot kernel level on framebuffer/modeset kernel parameters, like reflect_x and reflect_y ( https://docs.kernel.org/fb/modedb.html ) but this require some kernel changes - so it depends on what the hardware vendor allow you to do with your device, both from ROM and kernel perspective. So, if kernel source for your device is available and you can build/burn, etc. your new kernel to the device, you can try to hack the kernel to invert/flip/reflect the entire screen.

But some issues can arise. For example, if you try to pass video=WxH,reflect_x=on or similar parameters to the kernel in QEMU, it will not work from vanilla kernel
