Step 8-unplugg your phone??

Anyway, all the tuts are just the pointers.Try and see and if youre stuck at some point, come back and ask.(but in the thread of that tut that you're using)

Just reading isn't going to take you anywhere.

By the way read thoroughly before doing anything...

I was a giga mega ultra noob before I started playing with my phone and now, few months later and more thatn 10roms later(with a gazillion bootloops and softbricks) I know what I'm doing..

Everything you need is in this forum and belive me if your hardware is good,your phone is fixable.

Xbsall and the others made sure of that.

Just relax and folow the first link that I gave you, the drastic00's guide to V8.

It's the best way I think...

Cheers.

Sorry m8 not trying to diss that poster but truly its not clear at all and i have tried and tried all the parts and it just doesnt happen

step 8 unplugg your phone??

step 9- Now pull out battery, hold vol-up and connect your phone using the usb cable <----so phone is now plugged in

step 10- Your phone should be now in fastboot mode <---- no reference to unplugging phone

step 11- In device manager, you will LG COSMO, install now it's driver which is included in OS_HACKING package. <----no there are NO drivers in that package

step 12- Now one more time run OS_HACKING tool, hold vol-up and connect your phone using the usb cable <plug your phone back in? Sorry i didnt know i was supoosed to unplug it

step 13- Flash the GB bootloaders then flash CWM recovery <--------I have no idea what these are or how to do as there is no reference to them previously in this guide

As i said i rerally appreciate any help but that guide just doesnt make it clear enough for a complete doofuss like me

Tries this guide too http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1942836 but no joy

Its weird cos I can boot to cwm and install a jellybam rom from an external sd card but I cannot successfully install any other rom from it (i am not sure if just doing the wipes then installing a rom downloaded from this site is the right thing to do.

Thanks again ;)

You can find the drivers for LG Cosmo in wsParks omap4boot: http://d-h.st/U08 (i took this link from the resurrection guide).

Afher you instal this important driver.

You can open the omap4boot.

Just type a 2 and connect you phone to the usb.

If text is scrolling in the interface, plug in your bat and hold vol up.

You will enter normal download mode and ready to flash with LG flashtool/smartflash.

Hi thanks but i just got as far as this in the guide, the phone rebooted set itself up and seems to be working fine, without wanting to screw it up anymore, can i just not leave it as is, everything seems to be working wifi, sim etc etc do i actually need to do what it says in the rest of the guide ? added a pic cos am not clear about baseband stuff etc

A) Install LG Flash Tool by running "Setup_LGFlashTool_1.1." Let install but uncheck the ‘open LG Flash Tool’ box (don’t run it yet). The package comes with version 1.2, but 1.1 is what I used.

B) Copy the file ”LGFlashTool” from the “FILE.ZIP” folder over the file of the same name into the ” LG Flash Tool 1.1” folder. This will unlock the program.

C) Right click on "LGFlashTool," found in the same folder you just copied into and choose "Run as administrator."

D) Check the box that says "Select Manual Mode."

E) Click the "..." button to the right of the "DLL" field, then choose "LGP920_110622.dll" file you downloaded. This file helps Windows to write the correct information to the phone.

F) To the right of the "S/W" field, choose "Add" and navigate to/select "28bROOT_AP.bin." This is the official ICS file, but with root access and TWRP recovery.

G) Be sure the button for "USB" is selected. Click OK.

H) Choose the port settings icon that looks like a serial cable.

h1) Check Port 1.

h2) It should select the first 3 check boxes when you do this; "16 Ports," "Port 1 ~ Port 16," and "1" should be checked.

h3) Click OK.

I) Click the yellow arrow (start). You should see "Ready!" at the top left.

J) Insert the battery into the phone. While holding the volume up button on the phone, connect it to the pc with the sync cable. The phone should start flashing (i.e. LG Flash Tool will start writing the file). NOTE: if Flash Tool will not connect, try holding volume up, connecting the USB/sync cable, and THEN connecting battery (while holding volume up). Don't touch it until the process is complete. The phone will boot up. Once it boots up it is OK to disconnect the phone

K) The phone will NOT boot up completely. There will be a message about factory reset (but the button will not let you proceed), or the phone may stick at the LG logo. Long press power to shut off the phone. Hold Volume down + Power. Alternatively, try Home (i.e. house on keypad) + Volume down + Power. You should get a text screen about factory resetting. Press power twice to confirm. Let it reset and boot up.<--------------------------------------- GOT TO HERE SUCCESSFULLY :laugh::fingers-crossed::D

L) Set up the phone. Then shut it down again.

M) Next we will flash the baseband (.fls) file. Redo steps 2C through 2J. But replace "28bROOT_AP.bin" with "28bROOT_CP.fls" in LG Flash Tool. The process of flashing a baseband will NOT complete to 100% in LG Flash Tool. That’s OK. I got to 155 seconds and it worked.

N) If you have connection problems (the 28b baseband is working for me), you may want to get another baseband from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1974734. Download the file you need and repeat steps 2B through 2J with your preferred file.
[LG Optimus 3D] Soul209:
Sounds like you did it.

If you dont have issues with 3g or calls, you dont nessesery have to flash your baseband.

But in many times it will be better you do.

Hi All,

I am planning to buy Optimus G (Intl) very soon.

I would like to know the update status of Jelly bean 4.2 or Photosphere(VFR Camera) for Optimus G?

Anybody got any info on that? Will it be getting one more update?

Any info of VFR or Value pack for Optimus G?

Thanks...

There is a thread about this 6 threads below this one.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TabGuy:
With regard to sound the Samsung Note 10.1 gets it. The HTC One gets it. But the Samsung Note 2 doesn't.

What am I talking about? Putting the speaker on the front. On my Note 2, when I'm watching a video I have to curl my right hand around the back to deflect the sound to the front. After all, it's ME that needs to hear the sound not the guy in front of me.

So, why hasn't some case maker come up with a simple case mod that doesn't have a speaker opening in the back of but, instead channels the sound to the front. Kinda like cupping my hand does. It'd be a simple thing to do and would instantly get my dollars.

There's a number of speaker adapters for iPhones and iPads that do just that but nothing for the Note 2. Why not build it right into the case?

Have you seen such a case?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kimdoocheol:
Mophie has done this for the iPhone with their battery cases.

Most likely not many people are doing this for the Note2 because it does add quite a bit of length or bulk to the phone. Your best bet would be to look at battery cases, since those add bulk anyways and most of the people who buy those don't care about the size. I have not seen anything like that though.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DaBountyHunter:
Do such things actually improve the audio or is it all a placebo effect?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kimdoocheol:
Personally, I don't find that huge of a difference. The audio quality on the note 2 is great, and I sort of think if you set it flat on a table the sound bounces of the table and you get a better disbursement of sound.

However, the issue on the iPhone was the speaker is at the bottom of the phone. If you game, you cover the speaker up with your hand. I can see that being an issue for the N2 as well. The mophie case curved the speaker to the top, so pretty much you could game and not cover up the speaker with your hand.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JesseMT4G:
The Note 2 sound isn't all that great IMO. really wish they would implement something like what HTC is doing with the one as it blows our phones sound away.

I say that using a BT speaker most of the time when at work, but being out and about it would be nice to have a louder speaker and it be in the front.

I know zerolemon extended battery case that just came out funnels the sound and supposedly seems louder. Placebo effect or not, that I am not sure.

Fancy pants Note ||:)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TabGuy:
I actually find the Note to be the loudest phone I've owned. Certainly much louder than my Galaxy Nexus.

I have a ZeroLemon battery and case. It's jus a hole Stauffer back.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JesseMT4G:
It's hardly any louder than my s3, have tested it side by side and while louder, it isn't a huge difference. When checking the HTC One it was huge with the One coming out on top.

Don't get me wrong, love my Note 2, just wish it was louder.

You have the 9300 extended battery with TPU case? The other reviews say it helps with sound. I don't know, don't have it, just going by other threads.

Fancy pants Note ||:)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TabGuy:
Yes, I have the case. But I hadn't tested the sound until you pointed that out. And, surprisingly, it does make the sound much louder from the front.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JesseMT4G:
Good deal!

Fancy pants Note ||:)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kimdoocheol:
I think there are mods to change the dB level output of the speaker, although too high and you might blow it. AC!D Rom makes the sound output on this thing a lot louder and crisper. Might just be me though, but I have a few friends who have the note 2, played the same song, and mine was noticeably louder.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
I personally look at it in a different way. Tablets is something you can use as entertainment for more than one person. With Note 2 - it's a private entertainment thing, and I care more about quality of headphones rather than quality of speakers. Just a personal preference, I guess. I actually watch a lot of tv/movies on it in bed, and in that case I'm more than happy with my bluebuds x ;)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JesseMT4G:
I am quite the opposite, when out and about my Note 2 is my everything device to where I hardly use my Nexus 7, especially since I can't teather to it, unless I Root and haven't done that for awhile.

Now at home I rock the Nexus 7 quite a bit, as well as the kids, lol!

I am at work right now and tablet is just sitting in my work bag all lonely, haha!

The Note 2 is an amazing device, so much I hardly miss the Nexus 7.

Fancy pants Note ||:)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gandalf21502:
I don't understand why samsung doesn't improve on the speakers of their phones. I LOVE my N2, but I think on a high end device they should now be at a point where they have dual/stereo front facing speakers. I don't expect 'amazing' sound, but they are now used for personal mult-media and some 'good' sound should come with the package...I applaud HTC for their efforts on that part!
[HTC Rezound] etieseler:
Just 35 minutes ago my phone fell from my hands and onto some cable in the perfect way that it broke the Digitizer. Wonderful. So now I have to go about replacing this. It looks pretty straightforward and I will be doing this but I have a few questions I'd like to see if I can get answered. Perhaps this can be used by others as a helpful FAQ regarding replacing the LCD or Digitizer on an HTC Rezound.

1) I know I will be needing the Digitizer only as the LCD portion is not broken, so can anyone give me a good reason why I should replace both and not just the digitizer?

2) I know there are some adhesives involved in holding it together. Are these re-usable or should they be replaced? If they should be replaced, what kind of adhesives are they and where can they be found?

3) What is a good source for these parts? (Adhesives and digitizer)

4) Is there upgrades here I can do? Like a gorilla glass digitizer or something?

5) I've read a guitar pick is a great tool to separate parts, do you agree?

6) Any Gothca's that I should be concerned about

Here is the procedures I will be following:

1) Remove the back cover, the battery, SIM card and SD Card

2) Remove the 6 T5 torx screws around the sides (from the back)

3) Pry up the back by releasing the plastic clips around all 4 sides (note the volume rocker/power button may fall out)

4) Remove the Vibrator motor

5) Remove the two screws holding the MoBo on and lift up from the USB port side and remove the plastic piece from there.

6) Release the small plastic clips holding the Mobo in and swing it up, release the two ribbon cable connections

7) Heat around all sides front and back to loosen the adhesive, from the back work with a guitar pick to loosen the adhesive, repeat this process from the front.

8) Work around with the guitar pick between the screen and the housing from the front and remove the LCD and digitizer from the housing

9) Heat all the sides of the LCD/digitizer to loosen the Adhesive

10) Work with the guitar pick around the sides to release the digitizer from the LCD screen. It seems there is a piece of black tape on one side, you would have to "butterfly" the two screens and peel the screens apart.

11) Done. Reverse these steps to rebuild it. Do these adhesive parts need the adhesive replaced? Does the tape need to be replaced?

I cannot post links yet, but I felt I should give credit where its due. To obtain these steps I used a Youtube video. To view this video, search youtube for: 'How To Fix HTC Rezound Screen by RepairsUniverse.com'

The advice from the experts is highly anticipated!!

Regards,

Eduard Tieseler
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
The best reason for replacing both is that you won't have to worry about binding them or getting dust between them if you get them together preassembled. As to the rest, I can't say. I know we have a few people here who have done it.
[HTC Rezound] etieseler:
So I found the adhesive strips that I need. It comes as a bulk sheet where you cut them to fit. I am going with replacing only the digitizer. Replacing the LCD screen also would male the process easier however I fear getting a replacement screen that is in worse shape or more poorly made than the original one my phone came with. I know this one has no flaws.

So I have answered my questions already. I'll post here when I done replacing the digitizer with anything that is of interest in case someone else has questions about this procedure.

Thank you for your input shrike1978. Much appreciated.

Eduard Tieseler

Check out my thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2189789

I did it not long ago, and was fine. However, I opted to go for the digitizer + LCD assembly, as I didn't want to have to worry about separating the digitizer from the LCD and worrying about dust.

To answer your questions:

1) It's eaiser, takes less time, and you don't have to worry about dust with replacing the digitizer + LCD assembly.

2) Replace the adhesive. I tried reusing it... and it has some flex on it. So I got some new adhesive, scraped the old stuff off, put the new one, and used a heatgun to move the screen assembly around to get it to fit right, and then pressed it down as it cooled to secure it better.

3) Ebay

4) Not sure on this one... not that I know of anyway.

5) If you get the parts from eBay, then they sometimes come with tools (Torx, philips, and a plastic separator tool).

I also linked the video that I used in my thread, so you can look at that. It's pretty straightforward and easy to do. Took me about 45 minutes to just over an hour to do everything, as I was taking my time.
[HTC Rezound] etieseler:
Well I did this process two days ago and for the most part it went well, but not without its issues.

First off, I should have heeded the advice of others suggesting to get the LCD + Digitizer pre-assembled. I tried to save some money however now there is a dead spot on my phone and I will have to spend that extra money to buy the kit anyways. So for anyone else thinking they can get away with just the digitizer, unless you have dustless neoprene gloves and a clean room (or possibly nitrogen or canned air) and lots of experience, do not attempt to replace one or the other, just get the pre-assembled kit.

I am going to replace it again with the kit in a few more days.

The only thing that came up that I didn't see anywhere else, was when I was pulling the back cover off. The spot where the camera is located was kind of sticking to the back cover. If I would have pulled to quickly or was too rough I would have easily damaged the camera. So my advice would be to work slowly when pulling the back cover off. If it feels like its resisting, it could be your camera. Wiggle it slightly and don't force it. The camera will loosen itself from the back case, but using too much force you could damage it.

Thanks for the info guys! :good:
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I also purchased the full assembly and was able to switch the new parts onto my Rezound. Unfortunately, the earpiece (the part you listen to when NOT on speakerphone) and the proximity sensor did not work with the new set, and I am swapping it for a replacement. However, I've been inside the unit now 5 times, and I suggest in addition to the tools supplied with the sets (t5, small phillips and separator) you also have a small flathead (helps with starting the split the unit apart and also with pulling and reattaching the vibrator motor) and a long tweezers (invaluable when trying to reconnect the ribbon cables.)

Also, reconnect the MIDDLE ribbon cable (which is slightly twisted and longer) first, then reconnect the top, and don't forget to reapply the insulating tape (been there, done that).

Watch the take apart video on Youtube repeatedly until you can do it with your eyes closed, and be careful, the red plastic does break easily, especially on the corners.
[HTC Rezound] red3razor:
Replaced my digitizer with good success, using new adhesive. Upon first re-assembly the digitizer was popping out of the plastic bezel a bit, but everything worked great, touch, display, everything. So I decided to take apart, add some more adhesive strips. Now the digitizer stays flush.

First boot after 2nd re-assembly, got boot with first vibrate, but no screen on. So I pull the battery to attempt again. Now I receive no vibrate response from power button. When plug into charger, orange light comes on for 5 seconds and then off indefinitely. This happens each time after battery pull+wall charger plugin.

I have tried multiple times disassembling, checking both ribbon cables that plugin to motherboard, appear to connect fine. Visually all other aspects of MB appear fine.

Any ideas anyone? Not sure what may have broke. I should have left well-enough alone, but the digitizer was somewhat spongey to touch on right side of screen and I could see white light shine up... TIA
[HTC Rezound] red3razor:
Each time I pull the batt the orange light will come on solid for 5 or so sec, then off for good. One time even started flashing for a bit like it was charging from full depletion (like it does before it lets you power on). Not sure how to diagnose.
[HTC Rezound] etieseler:
Did you make sure to put the yellow protective tape over the ribbon cable connections? When you open it (like a book) and see two ribbon cables. There originally was a small piece of tape over the connection to provide protection from anything being shorted out. Make sure this is back on.

If you no longer have the tape, I think any non-conductive tape would work like plain Scotch tape. Please correct me if I am wrong in that statement.
[HTC Rezound] red3razor:
I did not put those pieces of tape back on. In the YouTube video by "injured gadgets," I don't believe they re-covered up those ribbon cable plugins, so I also did not during re-assembly. Should I try that? Or, I assume, my board somewhere has gone bad? (Phone did work just fine after re-assemble, until I decided to take apart again)
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
And after doing this a handful of times, I figured out that the "earpiece" doesn't come with the digitizer/LCD/housing. It has to be pulled from the old phone and moved to the new one. Once I did that, everything was fine.
[HTC Rezound] red3razor:
hgoldner, when you had forgotten to re-apply the insulating tape over the ribbon cables, did that result in a toasted motherboard? I'm trying to find out if that's what happened to mine? Thx
[HTC Rezound] etieseler:
I would go ahead and try putting it back on. There was an earlier post where someone mentioned it was important to put it back on, perhaps he can comment on what can happen if its not on (He said he learned from experience). Perhaps you can PM him.

To be honest, I originally only put the tape back on one connection, but after the second time replacing both the LCD screen and the digitizer, I found the second piece of tape and now both are back on.

What can it hurt to see if that will fix it? Its fairly easy to get to on these phones.

Ed
[HTC Rezound] red3razor:
Yes I did try put back on, no worky still. I assume motherboard issues now. So now I ask if anyone that has also failed to put tape insulation back on, has also resulted in motherboard fail?
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
I ran it for about a week or so without the insulating tape. I assume you just mean the translucent, amber tape that goes over the jaw connectors of the ribbon cables on the motherboard? Not putting that on shouldn't have damaged your board... it's really just there to keep the jaw connectors from opening from vibrations.
[HTC Rezound] etieseler:
I left it off on one connection for about a week also with no issues. However I did notice roughly a 16th of an inch of copper exposed on the ribbon. I can envision potential issues from that. I'm not sure about your phone, but the jaw connectors on mine would never open on their own. Far too much resistance to open from any vibration or movement. The vibrator motor connection had a better chance of disconnecting on its own than the ribbon cables. I'm sure that tape provides more than just locking the jaw connectors closed. I could be wrong though.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
No, I remembered and put it on before I powered up.
