Pull battery then do the recovery button combo. It is a a known issue that that nightly doesn't boot. You could just dirty flash another nightly that does work. May break some things though.

Battery and Proximity issue

Hi everyone,

I have installed JMP v 8.0 custom ROM in my MMX A110.

The ROM is pretty good but i am facing mainly two issues.

1. Proximity Sensor Not working though previously it was working with stock ROM. I read about replacing boot.img file but not sure how to do that.

2. Battery stuck at 99%: When I charge the batter while te mobile is on it stuck at 99% as soon as I switch of the mobile it reaches 100% but again if I start my mobile then the indicator turns red and battery goes back to 99%. I tried using battery calibration aand also tried to clear battery stats from advance panel but all in vain. The proble still persist.

Kindly provide me the solutions for the same.

Thank you,

Agreed, and I know it sounds harsh, but people need to read and make sure they are looking at the forum for their device. Too many people are using tools for other types of Kindle.

Best option is to contact Amazon to see what they can do. They ate used to people taking their Kindles abroad, and I think they have a worldwide warranty?

Yeah, you got an expensive paper weight now, welcome to the club. I was thinking about getting a kindle fire 2 with a cracked screen and switching it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Everenferno:
Hey guys, I rooted my kindle fire HD 8.9 inch and I attempted to get TWRP (or however you spell it) on there and it told me there would be a high risk of failure but I decided to take the risk and I bricked my Kindle because it would only stay on the darn boot up logo without going any further. I read these forums and people who bricked their device were immediately told to return their product or to use it as a paper weight and I was upset there wasn't anything I could do about it. However, I got it to fix because when I plugged in (I would say a standard) usb cable connected to my kindle into my computer, it recognized the device and I immediately put it into fastboot and recovered it. It ended up coming back to life. Now I'm not saying it's suddenly possible for everyone and I maybe I didn't brick it after all, but if I did and I managed to get it working again then I think people should keep trying to fix their device (nothing to drastic) and see what happens as time progresses. In other words, don't give up so easily...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronicfathead:
The people who end up with a device that doesn't power on, doesn't charge and isn't recognised by the PC or doesn't respond to a fastboot cable have no recovery options.

Maybe in 6 months someone will find a way, but it is highly unlikely.

Hardware solder

I read somewhere it could be possible to unblock hard brick KFHD2 by soldering a flash drive to the motherboard. Is this possible on the KFHD7?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Theoretically yes, but we haven't mapped out the pins yet because it involves most likely sacrificing a kindle fire because we have to actually pull the emmc off the motherboard to figure out which pins go where. Also it uses a usb sdcard reader not a flash drive so to speak. Kurohyou is working on it though.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goddchen:
Hey everyone,

I have read the various topics with a similar title but none helped.

Here is my problem, I bought a used HTC Desire on eBay. It booted just fine on the first start, then I did a factory reset (from within the Android system menu).

Since then, I'm stuck at the white screen with the green HTC logo. I have tried to get into bootloader mode by removing the battery, holding vol down and power, but it just goes straight to the white screen again.

Also connected the phone to the pc, but adb isn't picking up anything...

Any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Try Power+Back button.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goddchen:

I can get into fastboot mode with BACK + POWER. But volume keys doesn't work, is that a known issue that I can solve somehow?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
So you bought a Desire with broken volume keys.

Are you s-off?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Then you'll have to flash a RUU to make it work.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1772499

It's official HTC Firmware. Your phone will boot after this.

So:

1. Install HTC Sync.

2. Download and extract the RUU.exe from the zip (It's somewhere in there)

3. Run the exe while you connect your phone in fastboot (Power+Back)

4. Wait for it to install

5. Boot

Thanks for the advice, I downloaded the 2.3 RUU and it starts the process, sais

and after ~30 seconds it just shows me a screen that sais "ERROR_UNKNOWN" :(

On the phone I see a black screen with a silver HTC logo during the process and when I unplug the USB cable after the error it shows the hboot screen that now sais "update failed".
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goddchen:
right before the error is shown it display "updating signature"

But now I have a bootloop, device starts, vibrates 1 time, waits for 3 seconds, and then vibrates 7 times. And restarts...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Ok. Tests are done.

According to the screenshot above and the 7 vibrations, you have a radio brick. It's a brick that can hardly be overcome.

The only solution is flashing the RUU and hoping that the phone will eventually boot.

That's why I don't buy second hand phones.

Thought it was fixed on your newer ones. Then again I've never had a problem with my pvt1 desire flashed both hboot and find countless times.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goddchen:
it is a PCT3 device.

but the overheating-reboot issue is rendering it useless. I can use it just fine outside (-2° currently) but as soon as I'm inside, boot-loop...

Anything I can do from a hardware perspective to fix that? Sending it in for repair/replacement is not an option, it's simply not worth the cost.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goddchen:
do you think installing a custom rom of any kind might help?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
It's a motherboard fault. If you don't send it to repair, you just got yourself an "Ice-Phone", or a very complex paper holder.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
i think a custom rom would help a small bit, like the rom in abaaaabbbb63 sig (mildwild redux) because its small and lite unlike a sense rom. therefor it mite not overheat as quick or as often. but thats only a guess. the only dodgy thing is trying to get ur phone s-off or rooted because if ur phone overheats in the middle of the s-off/rooting progress u could brick ur phone. plus charge ur phone using ur computer coz it uses less power and the phone does'nt heat up as much as plugging into the wall.

i was trying to get the above mentioned cyanogen mod onto my phone, but got stuck somewhere along the road. Here are some system specs so someone may have a chance to figure out what it looks like right now.

firmware version: 2.3.6

Base band version: I9000XWJW1

Kernel: 2.6.34.7-I9000XXJW4-CL1043937se.infra@SEP-62 # 2

Build-Number: Gingerbrad.XWJW6

so much to what the phone itself has to say - heres some info taken from CWM Manager

CWM Manager v2.0

Current Kernel: CF-Root 4.4

oh - and i updated the SuperSU which came along.

has anyone an idea how to proceed from there? i read a lot about getting cyanogen mod - including some mentions that the recent 10.1 build to android 4.2.1 (or was it 4.2.2 ?? ) would work on the i9000 - but i cant figure out what to do from here - i´m getting confused about all the build numbers and so on - it would be nice if someone could point out to me which build numbers and updates to look for exactly.

Thx

CM is a custom ROM for your i9000. You can update your phone with this ROM to enjoy the latest Android OS like 4.0 (IceCream Sandwich), 4.1 & 4.2 (Jelly Bean). Samsung has stopped supporting us with any further updates post 2.3.6 which was Gingerbread Value Pack. If you are interested in flashing you stock ROM to taste new OS, follow this links:

1. Install ICS: Installing Ice-cream Sandwich 4.0.4 On Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Andrew - Sydney Australia:
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I was using an audio adaptor in the audio socket of my XDA. Unfortunately a small piece of this adaptor has broken off and I can't get it out of the audio socket. This means that the XDA always thinks that the handsfree is plugged in I can't get any audio in or out. And I cannot use the adaptor or handsfree in the audio socket. The XDA all works apart from no audio in or out.

I sent the XDA off to Accord in Melbourne which is the only XDA repair centre in Australia as listed on the O2 website. They charged me a $45 inspection fee and told me that the only way they can fix the problem is by replacing the whole mainboard. They quoted this at $1350!

I am obviously after a cheaper soloution and I hope there is someone in Sydney who can help me out or atleast point me in the right direction.

Very frustrated. Please email me or reply with any suggestions.

Andrew.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] obouwman:
A colleague of mine has the same problem. He dropped his xda while the headphone was inserted. The headphone connector broke and remained in the socket. I opened up the xda and it seems impossible to get the connector out. There is no way of pushing it out through the other side. I think you do have to get a new mainboard. Only thing you can try is putting some super glue on the tip of the remaining part and insert it into the socket. Maybe you can pull it out. I didn't try this though.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] andychan:
Hi everyone, just my 2 cents ...

I've found 2 websites that manufacture & sell 4-pole 2.5mm headphone connectors (socket type) that resemble the one in the XDA itself but I'm not sure whether you can replace the broken socket yourself ...

The 2nd URL came from this page:

http://www.suyin-europe.com/products_mobileapplications_audio25.htm

The item is one of those called "Earphone jack SMD 4-pole + normal close switch ..."

I'm also looking for 1, if anybody comes across this in Maplin UK or some other website, let me know, thanks ...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] ntabikha:
i've never seen the insides of an xda or the audio plug,

but that glue trick might work

or, get a pin, hold it with a plier, heat it up

and stick the audio plug with it,

if there is any plastic in it it should melt and stick to pin

then pull the pin.

i dunno... it might work.

are you sure you cant push the pin back out if you open the xda?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] andychan:
If I'm not wrong, the headphone connector of the XDA looks like 1 of those 2 connectors from Suyin Europe or SMK Japan, and so I think there isn't any hole on the "internal side" of the socket by which the stuck connector can be pushed out from ...

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] sandyind:
Audio socket solution?

Hi

I had a similar problem, except that a piece of the headphone plug wasnt stuck inside - what happened in my case was that one of the connectors in the socket got permanantly shorted with another, making the XDA think that the headphone was on all the time.

I tried fiddling around with a paper pin to try and prise the shorted piece loose, but noticed that at certain points when the paper pin was touching all the pins in the socket the xda would actually become vocal all of a sudden.

So I took the same paper pin, bent it into a sort of 'u' shape (very very close) and jammed it into the audio socket, effectively shorting all the contacts inside.

Presto, it worked ! Of couse, since I have a paper pin stuck inside I can no longer use my headphone (till I find another socket somewhere), but at least I can use my XDA !!!!!!!! No problems in voice clarity, either.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] andychan:
I'm able to obtain 3.5mm 4-pole sockets from quite a number of shops that sell electronic components here in Singapore so you should be able to get some from UK, but I guess the "space" on the motherboard of the XDA is only big enough for the 2.5mm socket as the 3.5mm socket is slightly bigger in size; furthermore, the hole near the bottom-right of the XDA is only big enough for a 2.5mm socket so .......

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] louslugger15:
I flashed the stock jelly bean rom last night and have a few questions.

1) It seems like my GPS signal is always flashing in the notification bar. It appears for no reason and about the only way to get it to go away is by turning GPS off, but as soon as I turn it back on it starts flashing again. Since I'm at work in a building it can't lock on. Is this a bug or should I reflash the ROM.

2) In battery usage it gives no indication of what the screen is eating up. Is this something omitted from JellyBean?

3) The amount of RAM in the task manager seems high. On ICS it was generally between 4-500 and after killing tasks it would drop to the mid 300s. Now it stays between 6-700 and even after killing tasks I have yet to see it drop below the low 600s. Does JellyBean manage tasks that much differently from ICS?

I'm curious to see if anybody else is having similar bugs that they never had before updating from ICS.

The only one of your questions I can really answer:
