[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] sorgo:
Sorry to go a bit off topic, did you import a new device? I bought a used one and the flex cable was dead in 9 months (but must say 9 months of intensive usage, like opened/closed 100 times a day :) ). And if you look at the android phone news around, there's no decent qwerty phone to be released (or no qwerty android at all) so my advice is, get a new device when it's still time and they are available.

My was around $160 plus intl shipping and import charges, that's about 160 eur total price. Should arrive any day now after looong 2 weeks of waiting.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] linoskoczek:
I bought used and it was dead after few days lol... The only good thing is that only not working earpiece is annoying. I don't really care about the rest. I don't think I will buy this phone again since I'm not living in US and I don't want to pay import charges to buy a phone with cracked screen. I was thinking that Desire Z wasn't good (look how it opens and closes on YouTube), but now I realised it was much better than Relay, because I hadn't any problem with main flex cable.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] linoskoczek:
Guys, isn't it Main Flex Cable which we were/are searching for?

http://au.alibaba.com/product-image/431746884-Mobile-Phone-Flex-Cable-for-Samsung.html I think it is! If you confirm that, I will try to contact the seller. The title is misleading a bit: T699, but Samsung Gravity. The photo is probably correct, because Gravity's Flex is different (you can easily find it in Google).
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] sorgo:
Hard to tell. The listed phones look weird, I doubt the main flex cable is identical in all those phones. If it would cost 5 eur, I would risk it, but for 50 eur, just grab another device.

Beyong the guide in OP - replacing the flex cable

Hi guys,

As I wrote before, many many thanks [MENTION=703492]Jax184[/MENTION] for this great guide. It helped me to disassembly the device with no fear :)

I mentioned before, I noticed one day, that the screen does no turn on always when I open the device. It was an issue of the flex cable. To fix this, I had to replace the cable - disassembling a bit beyond the steps described in the guide in OP.

Enjoy!

The cable arrived, fresh and shiny! :) Once again, thanks to [MENTION=719496]cortina1970[/MENTION] for posting the ebay link.

Here is the step where original guide ends.

The cable is sticked to the plastic part. You have to remove it by force, I used the sharp tool on next picture. Be careful not to break the plastic part.

The flex cable is now detached from the sliding part

To open the display part, you need to take out 4 screws around and gently open it (I managed to do it just with my nail).

Opened display part with old cable.

Take up the vynil and gently remove the flex cable from the board

Poor old cable with its replacement

Assemble in reverse order :)

And here's the old cable, cut from side. The symptoms were: the display part absolutely not working (display, notification led, sound, nothing at all). So I assume, it's the side where the power is.

Thanks again all who helped. I'm happy to have a backup device, as there's no better qwerty android around.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cortina1970:
Glad to see it fixed yours too, to anybody else who needs one, the Ebay listing for the cable currently shows 24 in stock!

possible ribbon damage

Hi

Thanks for doing this guide and the hardware reference I too have had the phone since august and now the screen is staying off when closed, only comes on when open and i press power a couple of times.

I opened it up yesterday to have a look and there was no obvious signs that it was hardware damage but after booting in safe mode and as it happens when the phone is turning on I can only think there is a some ribbon damage. How much more sturdy did the new one seem not sure if its worth spending ~£30 or just saving for a new phone.

Quite envious of my girlfriends new archos platinum 53 now (my selection for her birthday) nice and big no need for qwerty. Also no bloated stock gui.

Also anyone have problems with the mic on this device call quality can be rather quiet? not sure if china economy post was the best idea.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] sorgo:
My ribbon damage was not seen until I disassembled it. If the screen goes blank when opening/closing the phone, it's a hardware issue for sure. I would recommend replacing the ribbon with the one from cortinas link from ebay ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/T-Mobile-Ga...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4d25a8cf18 ). 100% working and you can see the guide, it was not hard at all, no need of special tools either.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] niteprizm:
What kind of tape is this??

Thanks to sorgo you for posting this. I have the exact same problem. display ribbon cable somehow ripped. I have already disassembled the phone and I have bought a working phone with a cracked screen on the cheap for replacement parts (in this case the ribbon cable you're replacing here). I am a little stuck on how to attach the new cable tho, specifically the end circled in sorgo's 6th photo above.

Since I am removing the cable from another phone I think the tape holding the down the connector will not be sticky enough after being removed. So my question is does anyone know what type(s) of tape are safe to use for this application, and perhaps a recommendation on where to buy some. Sorry this is prolly a n00bish question, most all of my disassembly and repair experience has been with desktops, no tiny cables to tape into place (is it just me or does this seem like a horrible way to connect a cable? Why not just have the snap on connection on both ends.....). Thanks in advance to anyone who can point the way.

Now that 4.2.2 is out, the two common permission restricting app/patches seem to be broke. Neither pDroid nor LBE Privacy Guard currently works for 4.2.2.

Is there something else out there that works on rooted Androids? I have a firewall app (AF Firewall+), but that doesn't prevent apps that do need network access from also accessing your accounts, phone number, contacts, etc...

What else is out there?

I also wonder about the options available for Apple users. Is there a way for Apple users to accomplish the same type of thing?

Physically the connector fits, but what's about the inside mysteries of the connector?

[General Questions and Answers] mletto157:
Hi all -

I recently added 2-step verification to my Google account after they told me someone tried to hack into it. However, after I typed my new password into my Google account on my phone, and it went through the 2-step process... Google Now doesn't work correctly anymore. When I use the voice search (or any Google Now search) I see in the browser status bar that it almost looks like it logs out and logs back in. Then it just displays the Google search results. So for any normal question, like "Who is the president of the United States?" - it no longer speaks anything back to me because it ONLY displays the Google search results... not the Google Now result. The same applies when I say things like "Navigate to such-and-such-address." This is quite annoying, because I used Google Now daily. I then disabled 2-step verification and just changed my password to a much stronger password. However, even now, without having 2-step verification on... I'm running into the same problem. It still appears that every time i use the Google Now search, it goes into the browser and logs out to log back in right away, and then just displays the browser search results. All other aspects of Google Now still work, but the search only displays the browser results of the Google.com search - nothing else. Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas? :confused:

Thanks,

Matt
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klownin5643:
ok so i installed the asus 4.2 no problem. bootloader is unlocked. i then flashed twrp 4.2, then realized i needed to do push 4.4 twrp instead. so i did that. i was able to boot to the asus rom no problem. i then rebooted into twrp, and it starts asking me for a password, all i could do was hit cancel. Nothing will mount, no sdcards no external, no internal memory. so i did a bit of reading and someone said a factory reset from the bootloader screen would fix twrp. that was a big nope.

so, now the tablet will only boot into twrp, but not read anything, and i cant even get to the fastboot menu so that i can push anything. when i reset it says install super user??/ but it also says no os installed. i have a rom on my sd card i could load if i can get twrp to read it, but i tried mounting, and unmounting, and pretty much every option in every menu.

anyone have any insite?

Thank you

Mike
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bythewayr:
Who would have thought. I registered because of this exact issue. Actually, bought the Pad today and wanted to install this ROM which ended with a device that's stuck in recovery.

In my case I first unlocked, updated to the newest stock OS then installed TWRP "openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-JB.blob". After that it's the same as the OP.

I'm a noob, but I could install ADB drivers and then push files into the device with it ( including stock ROM ). Unfortunately, trying to install it ended with failure. Every time you reboot all the pushed files disappear, too.

Other than in ADB, the tablet is invisible to Windows ( says no drivers ).

After some research it's become rather obvious that our devices are bricked. So far it seems like the only way to fix this is to send our Pads back to Asus. The bad news is that they are likely to offer motherboard replacement which is close to the value of a new Transformer.

Myself I'll be emailing them tomorrow.

You might want to dig through the forums. I believe I did read about a trick using the little reset hole (About an inch below the microSD).

From there it might be possible to flash the modded TWRP. From there you should be able to get back into your JB.

I'd be very careful with flashing ROMs, I still don't see anything that confirms we can use one safely on our newest model/version.

I don't know if fast boot still works. When I boot up it boots directly to twrp I don't have the option to enter recovery. It flops directly into recovery. I'm gonna try and play with this so called reset button and see if that gets me anywhere. If I can get to fast boot from there I might be OK.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klownin5643:
ok so the adb reboot bootloader worked. and i was finally able to reboot into the os. turns out it was still on there even though twrp said it was not. so now, i suppose im going to reboot into fastboot, and push the new modded twrp from fastboot. and we should be good? Im going to try it. ill report back. now that i know my adb works correctly, im not so scared of getting stuck. back in a few. thank you guys for the help. and direction. i only hope this helps someone else not get as stuck as i was.

edit:

yeah so that is no good. downloaded the modded one from the thread. though it appears that its the same as the one from twrp site. except the link in the cromi 4.0 first post points to an androidfiledownload site. i pushed it via fastboot. except when executing the reboot command, it simply booted back to the twrp screen with it still asking for a password. so now i guess im looking at reflashing the asus stock rom and letting rewrite the recovery? and starting fresh? can i do that via adb? im still learning adb and fastboot stuff. Thanks.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bythewayr:
Can't check this adb command solution till next Thursday but I sure hope it'll work for me, too.

As far as I understand this whole TWRP problem is that it doesn't have permission to do anything which thankfully should keep the original OS safe.

Keep us posted klownin5643. At this point I'm also mostly concerned with getting back the original recovery program.

Same issue here! Happened to me a few weeks back:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2197895

Only when mine booted directly into TWRP connecting it to the PC didnt yeaild me any results, even after I was able to get the PC to install the naked drivers. The PC would error and say, unable to start device so ADB would not work for me either and trying 'adb devices' didnt return any results. The ONLY thing that worked for me was booting into ADX but that did me no good as I had not installed NVFLASH prior to the brick.

The resolution for me was to replace the mainboard. I got it off of eBay for 88 dollars shipped. I replaced it the same day it came in and Im up and running on the new stock 4.2.1 ASUS release. Paying the 88 dollars was better than shopping for a new tablet ;)

Good luck with your troubleshooting OP! :good:
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klownin5643:
I'm wondering at this point, can I even flash a new recovery? Or even reflash a new ROM thru fast boot? Someone else said they tried thru adb but the files just disappeared. Or was that cause he was just pushing it to the memory card? I had the os running but I got a freeze and reboot. And it went right back to the direct loading of twrp. I don't wanna have to do that every time I restart. What would be the ASB command or fast boot to flash a new rom.?

I know I'm not the only one with this problem. But has anyone flashed the stock blob over top and got everything back to normal?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bythewayr:
Refering to your question about pushing files with ADB. I pushed them to internal memory, but that was in recovery mode with locked twrp. If you can get out of recovery with "adb reboot bootloader" then it wouldn't be directly applicable.

If you really have functional fastboot commands ( i.e. commands working instead of "waiting for device" ) then flashing a new ROM or recovery should be, more or less, straightforward. One thing I'm not sure about myself is whether new recovery can be named whatever or should it be called "twrp.blob" again. Technically, yoou're giving a "flash recovery" command so it should replace the current one, whatever it is but I'd rather not brick my device for good with a bad flash. Either way, like I mentioned, I have to wait till thursday to try anything.

I have to read more about fastboot to help with the right commands but there's a lot of guides out there.

I can give the flash recovery command and it will be fine. When I give the reboot command it freezes.
