Re,

It seems it's a minority phones who are concerned...

I don't know if Lg / Google have worked on the problem. As I read maybe the rev 11 are less concerned? But I'm not sure...

Don't be afraid, use your phone and if that happens rma or open your phone, there is always a solution :D

Alright, read a lot of threads and it looks like removing the battery and starting it again works perfectly. I also read somewhere that its due to too much pressure being applied on the thing the connects the battery to the phone.. - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128392&highlight=red+light+of+death&page=2

Happened to me a few days after I got it (100%stock, not rooted); I left it charging for some time and it turned on again like nothing happened. Didn't happened since.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spec-Chum:
Only time I had it was when I first rooted.

It got stuck in a boot loop on the "X" screen and when I rebooted to clear the cache the red light flashed and I had to hold the power button in to turn it off.

Booted into recover fine after that.

No issues since.

Best chance is to get a cracked screen/digitizer one on eBay, should cost around $20 or so, and replace the motherboard + camera.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firoz3321:
The mobile was having the Silicon Cover so i think it absorbed some force, but some internal parts might have been effected :(

I dont have any problem with the TOUCH. It works well.

I found no loose connections in the connectors.

Non working things are :

1. Ear phone socket - Does not detect the headset

2. Camera - shows blank screen for a few secs and force closes

3. Proximity Sensor

4. Charging LED

so far i found these issues.

I cant enter the Custom Recovery (4EXT) too.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carmichaelalonso:
Sounds like you've damaged quite a bit of it. It may not be the motherboard that's the only problem, and could mean also replacing screen, etc. Unless you're up to that it could be time to let the Nexus One go..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firoz3321:
I cant think of letting it go :(

latest update : My mobile does not Switch ON :eek: , it passed away in the sleep :( ( My poor nexyy :angel: )

If some one can suggest any possible part to replace i would do that. I am not financially ready for another mobile soon.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carmichaelalonso:
I'm sure some items aren't absolutely necessary such as the charging led, but the earpiece and the proximity sensor could be more the problem. At least it boots - better that than nothing at all

Yes i am really Glad it boots. I can use internet and SMS, but Ear Phone is big problem. Proximity Sensor is real Head Ache as i have to reboot after aeery call :crying:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carmichaelalonso:
Take a look on eBay - there are some ear pieces available (at least in the UK) and proximity sensors. Then if you follow a video which you will likely find you can manually replace these parts to see if they are the problem
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blondinko:
Had the same problem; it can be the ribbon cable which is either loose, or completely disconnected. The bad news is that you'll have to disassemble pretty much the whole phone. We've actually damaged one the of the cables once while trying to do this, so if you try it, be very careful! There is a page online somewhere that tells you which cable it is exactly, just search the symptoms:

1. Camera doesn't work

2. Charger LED doesn't work

3. Proximity sensor always shows "near", as a result -the screen remains black after making a call

UPDATE:

Found the link with the picture of which cable it is:

It's a long page, so just scroll down
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ant_vas:
My Nexus one also has the same issues!

I know that it is coz of the flex cable. the other thing that doesn't work is the camera flash (when you try to use it as a flash light)

luckiely for me the ear phone does work! i am able to use the phone (except for the camera and flash light) for pretty much everything

as i always make/answer the calls using the ear phones, i dont have to worry about the proximity sensor not responding during the calls.

My suggestion would be to try and see if your ear phone is detected or not (may be play a song) and then use it to make some calls.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firoz3321:
Unfortunately its not working. I thought i can atleast use for media listening/watching but its not detecting the earphone :(

there are some dedicated ROMs for usage as Media Players so i thought of it, but no use.

Only possibility will be to use the Bluetooth Headset. (I have Plantronics Backbeat 903+ but my ears pain a lot , doesnt fit will )

If some one can confirm that it is related to the FLEX cable then i can dare to buy it :confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szihs:
ques

I had same issues as you.

Basically flex cable is loose and it needs to be attached properly. I have gone to service center and they dis-assembled and corrected it.

Proximity sensor ->camera not working. I can confirm the problem (happen twice to my n1)

@OP: I saw your post regarding NexusOne having booting up on Safe Mode: due to getting wet in rain.

How to resolve it. I am facing safe mode boot up issue. ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlennBrownie:
RE: Safe Mode...

I've had this before, all I did was to take my N1 completely apart, until the point where I couldn't see anything else to remove lol!

I then left it to air for the next 48 hours, reassembled and it works! :D

BUT !

I warn you, if you do this, you MUST make a note of where every piece on your phone goes or you'll regret it at the end!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atiro:
Hi,

As I'm new to the area, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place.

I bought a SII from UK (T-Mobile unlocked) and have been using it in Turkey. Yesterday, as JB wasn't available for T-Mobile UK yet, I downloaded 4.1.2 for Vodafone UK. After installing it, my device began asking network unlock PIN. (I should have downloaded an unbranded ROM, I learned it later.)

I rooted the phone for the first time and tried to unlock it with Galaxy Sim Unlock, but no good. I installed back the 4.0.4 for T-Mobile, but the problem continues.

Now I'm stuck with the phone. Any help, direction, lead to relevant forums would be appreciated. (The ones I searched and read was above my knowledge.)

Here is the screenshot showing the details of the phone.

What can I do without losing the IMEI, etc. information?

Thanks,

with basic knowledge you can't do much...

btw - did you try all unlocking apps from market??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atiro:
No, just Galaxy Sim Unlock. All the time, I was reading about similar problems and when I saw about the EFS backup requirement, I stopped trying. And looked for more experienced support, here. I didn't want to mess up IMEI as it would cause lots of trouble.

Sure, it takes time to learn but if it'a phone which serves every communication, time urges. So, will keep on reading and find something.

By the way, as going back to ICS didn't help, I thought it would be better to be on JB if I could unlock the phone. Now I have this on my phone (again unrooted):

Baseband version: I9100XXLS8

Kernel version: 3.0.31-889555

dpi@DELL179#3

...

Build Number

JZ054K.I9100XWLSJ

When I was trying to find a way to root, I saw different kernels but I couldn't understand the exact one I needed. From what I read here: "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399", I have to use a kernel with LSJ. Is it true?

here http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/download/bootloaderfix.zip a tool to fix

a broken bootloader.

use with extreme care, only as a last resort.

This tool depends on specific memory locations for certain roms.

It does verify that it is talking to a known rom. It also does a very

minimalisitc check if the file presented to it resembles a bootloader.

I tested it with 3.16.52, 4.00.10 and 3.04.00 ( the very old ppc2003 rom ).

It should also work with 3.17.03, 3.19.01, 4.00.01 and 4.00.05.

unpack the archive, from the command prompt, in the 'build' directory

run 'pnewbootloader bl515.nb0'.

it should take about 10 seconds.

output should be something like this:

C:\fix\build>pnewbootloader.exe bl515.nb0
protection found at 8c0d62d8
result: 00000000 00000000

if you get my ce utilities ( http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/tools.html )

you can check the current bootloader version with

C:\>pmemdump 0x80001880 0x40
80001880: 20 00 00 00 20 72 30 00 ff ff 00 f1 e0 07 1f 00 ... r0.........

Developer-#X2PL

Thanks for the new tool.

Unless I'm mistaken this requires an Active Sync connection ?

I am stuck on Wallaby 5.17 and a corrupted Rom image (My fault) and so can't establish an active sync connection. The only way to recover is to run an SD card restore but I have had no joy with the Wallaby patch to overcome the bootloader's security (Loads to SD card o.k but does not patch the bootloader on startup)

Is there any way of running your bootloader tool from a serial connection using the load and go command ?

Thanks

Richard
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] itsme:
this tool runs on your desktop pc,

it requires a working activesync connection.

and also a working windows ce.

it is most useful for people who accidentally selected the same file for bootloader and osimage in xdarit. and are now stuck without a bootloader.

and it provides an easy way to change bootloader for people with a working xda and bootloader 5.17.

richard, sounds like the only way to fix your xda would be to get the patchloader working. does it say something about loading diagnostics, and bootloader detected, patching .... etc?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Richjn:
K2pl

Thanks for reply.

I get no messages at all when entering bootloader with patched SD card. I am wondering if XDArit is actualy writing to the SD card. I have been recieving the succesful write message and had assumed that it had done so but after asking it to write a CE image it confirmed this in about 2 seconds which I'm sure it couldn't have acheived. I have presumed that I wouldn't be able to see this file under windows file explorer even if it had written it is this correct ? I have also tried the 1.4 MB version but this just crashes (Win XP) at the write stage. I have a unix box as well if this program is available for this platform I could try that.

It sounds like sods law to me just two hours after corrupting my image a tool is released that would have allowed me to get out of it if only I had applied it first Oh well such is life.

Any help much appreicated.

I picked up your advice from a previous post (I did reply to thank you) and yes it did seem to work but I have since learnt that it is a random thing sometimes it does sometimes not.
