[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukemonkey:
Research + eBay + Patience = Save Money

I just replaced the motherboard of my S3 for essentially <$40. I bought an S3 on ebay with a broken screen but good motherboard (keywords like 'it charges', 'turns on', 'vibrates', and 'plays sound' come to mind) and swapped it into my S3 in about 20 minutes or so total with great success. The other super important thing is to verify a clean IMEI / ESN number because that lives on the motherboard too {However, I assume you could inject the 'good' IMEI from your old board into the new one with some pain and research. Not ideal.}

Anyway, yeah, the broken phone cost me a tiny but under $100 including shipping and I resold it just now on ebay for $66 including shipping. Big win, as the random tech guy in my town was going to charge me $220 and said it would almost definitely cost as much or close to as much as buying a new/refurb unit. My functionally and cosmetically perfect phone and the fact that my wallet is only ~$34/35 lighter determined that was a bold faced lie.

Disclosure: I do have electronics experience, but not with phones. And this fix was literally about 10 or so small screws and a few adorable itty bitty lil ribbon cable things. Easy day.

TL;DR-- Enter the Google Fu and observe your enemies upon the fields of eBay to fix things for cheap and/or at least know when it's good time to give up :good:

hey everyone. i want to use my nandroid back that i've made before I flashed cm10.1 to use my providers warrenty. If I restore from the nandroid backup it should work? no chances to get hard brick?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
A nandroid backup is not an sbf file. Hard bricks come from flashing the wrong sbf file.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hezided:
ok thankks. and there is a way to lock the bootloader? or th least hide the mark that the bootloader is unlocker?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
flash the sbf file that matches the stock version you had prior to unlocking
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hezided:
where can i find it and how exactly I flash it?

and theres no fear of flashing sbf elder version to get a hard brick?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
if you flash the sbf that matches the stock version you had prior to unlocking, you'll be fine. flash anything older than that, and you risk bricking.

thanks again I have found my version and i am downloading it right now. but how to flash it? I need to enter rsd mode in my phone and through rsd lte? I've downloaded an gz file type. and inside it has ths sbf file, and RSD lite can use both types. I know that it sounds like stupid question but I only want to verify, I need to use the sbf file and not the gz right?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
No problem. Search for RSD online, i'm running 5.7, but i think i was told by another user the other day that its up to 6.1 or something. reboot phone and hold vol up. it will display something about standing by for rsd support. connect phone to computer, let any necessary drivers install from device. then load sbf file into rsd, and after the drivers have installed, hit the detect for device button, and then flash the sbf to the device

I have the RSD lite from my previous installation, shouldnt it be enough? or like you said i need rsd online?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
i meant go online and search for rsd lite. your current install should be fine, but if you want to upgrade it you can.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hezided:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
no problem. one more thing. you may get an error message when you do it. if you flashed a different radio to your device, you need to follow the following steps first

Solved !

1. Copy Radio image (baseband) to the folder where located fastboot. 2. Power on phone and select fastboot 3. execute: fastboot flash radio bp.img, Where bp.img baseband image files 4. execute: fastboot reboot 5. Phone automatically boot on the android recovery mode 6. Wipe userdata/cache 7. Reload in RSD mode 8. on the RSD lite browse appropriate .sbf file and puch Start

Thats all.

Guys, is their any way when I shift to a different ROM, like from touchwiz to AOKP or AOSP, all my apps are kept!!?. cause I have a lot of apps installed which measures in 2-3 gigs.. so Plzzz??..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treacherous_hawk:
you would have to wipe before moving to AOKP or AOSP if you want to keep your apps+data you can with titanium backup pro if you are rooted.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoteboyTech:
How?

How is it possible?. please tell me.. the procedure?.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treacherous_hawk:
please elaborate, procedure for root? procedure for backing up apps+Data in TBP? procedure for flashing AOKP/AOSP?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoteboyTech:
Procedure to backup with titanium backup!! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treacherous_hawk:
now that you asked for the procedure for backing up with TBP, i will assume that you are rooted already. Get the app from market, choose the backup location, run the batch operation (check mark on top right) choose backup apps+data (do not backup system apps as restoring them on custom rom is not advisable). Flash the rom of your choice, install TBP again choose the backup location, restore the apps+data from batch operation.

Edit: just fyi you can also ask the same question in your thread you started, the thread you open is not limited to one question, you will get answers to your question if you continue asking questions instead of creating a new thread.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoteboyTech:
When I checked there. I saw the option to backup user apps. I just run that right?. and then I should wipe off everything in the CWM to flash a new ROM and then all I have to do is to just restore my apps.. .. Thanks a lot buddy!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treacherous_hawk:
if you move down further you will also find backup userapps+Data option. i just found the screen shot on google:

Here it is from older version but should be there.

Edit: follow the instructions on how to in the Custon Rom Thread.

hi, all

I use these two ROMS: AmnoSpherum XXDME1 ROM and BoBCaTROM XXDME1.

But when I flash them to my device then restart my phone,

my N7100 device couldn't appear at my computer when connecting between my device and my computer.

If i use ARHD v17, there are not any kinds of problems about using USB.

why?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BJSerpas:
Hey everyone. I just bought a Galaxy S4 a couple days ago, and have had no problems with it until this morning. I had it plugged in, and when I woke up, it was extremely hot to the touch, burningly so, and had some weird battery warning of some sort on the screen. I didn't know what else do do, so I immediately unplugged it and took the battery out. Coming from using an HTC Thunderbolt, I've never had a phone get this hot. My hands even still hurt from handling the phone, and now I'm really concerned that there is a problem with it. It's probably worth mentioning that I did root it, but I did nothing else that would cause it to do something like this. I didn't overclock it, I didn't install a custom recovery, and I didn't install any custom ROMs. Besides having root access, the phone is in a stock state as if I just took it out of the box. I haven't turned it on yet as I'm letting it cool off right now, but I really want to know what the heck happened here.

Thanks for any help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imablackhat:
You're not the first person. Hm I want to buy this phone too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BJSerpas:
Yeah, to my surprise I noticed one of the moderators moved a similar thread from someone over to this section while I was in the middle of posting mine. I wish I would have been able to see it before making mine, but oh well. At least I'm glad it's nothing I did, but I'm both concerned about the heat killing the battery as well as this happening over and over again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SonicJoe:
I haven't had this issue at all. I'm rooted and running cwm recovery, but otherwise stock. I also froze several apps (only bloat that was allowed to be disabled natively, so far).

In general, if I were you, I would contact Samsung or Verizon. It may be a defective battery or a defective phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BJSerpas:
I suppose I could bring it back; I do have about 12 more days to return it if I need to. Of course, I'd really rather not, but if everyone here thinks that's the best course of action here, then I suppose I should. Of course, there is the whole I rooted it thing, so yeah.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SonicJoe:
Don't worry about root. Use SuperSu's unroot feature before returning it. And a factory reset. They'll never know.

Or, if you're really paranoid, use the stock no root odin image and flash it clean.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Get the battery error message to repeat then bring it in with it showing or take a picture of it. A good store will hand you a new one on the spot. They just need to have a documented reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fifiknw87:
Yeah pretty much
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BJSerpas:
I think what I'll do is test the battery life and see if it was damaged at all first. If there's nothing to worry about there, I could just pretend it never happened. Of course, if it decides to go supernova on me again, I'll just unroot it and bring it back. Thanks for the replies guys.

Update:

Considering my battery went down by 8% in just a half hour, I think I can safely consider my battery to be fried. This is just wonderful...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] CrimsonKnight:
I bought my M7 brand new from eBay and everything worked fine when I got it. Somehow between unlocking the bootloader, installing recovery, rooting, and installing this (M7 Unofficial T-Mobile 1.29.401.13 OTA GSM Deodex) ROM, the vibration no longer works. I can feel an EXTREMELY faint vibrate. So faint that i had to mute the TV and put my ear to the phone to hear it.

What can I do to try to get this taken care of?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] CrimsonKnight:
More info

OK so it's definitely busted. I ran the vibration diagnostic (*#*#3424#*#*) mode and ran the vibration test. If I knock the phone around a bit it comes back but never lasts more than a few seconds. Will T-mobile honor the warranty if I bought the phone from eBay and have unlocked my bootloader?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] frostyroot:
Okay, I had this problem with another phone I had (HTC Sensation 4G). I found myself with little vibrations, so faint that it wasn't noticeable in my pocket. Instead of going back to another stock ROM I left it the way it was. A few days later my speaker shut completely down, so I freaked out and installed a different ROM. Speaker didn't work, vibrations worked though. I called HTC and they told me I screwed something up in the phone's circuitry. My recommendation would be to go to a different ROM, if that doesn't work, go stock, and if you still have problems call HTC.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] CrimsonKnight:
I reflashed my stock ROM backup I made and its the same thing. I'll text myself and sometimes it vibrates and sometimes it doesn't.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] frostyroot:
If you have it covered with insurance by T-Mobile then I see why not unroot it, lock the bootloader and return it to T-Mobile. It's sure worth a shot!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] CrimsonKnight:
Got it off eBay. Whats the manufacturer warranty on these things?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] frostyroot:
Usually HTC would charge you a hundred something, I usually buy my phones from anywhere other than T-Mobile and still get insured by them. If you've insured your phone it should still be covered through T-Mobile. Try that first because I know to replace a damaged phone through T-Mobile is a sure a hundred dollars and not a day without a phone because it gets replaced in like 1 day if anything.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] CrimsonKnight:
I just got back from tmobile they told me since I didn't buy it at tmobile and i'm prepaid they can't help me. I'm going to get a refund through ebay. The description stated the phone was new and defect free but it isn't so according to ebay's policies I'm eligible for a refund.

I think I'm going to buy ANOTHER M7, when I get it go to t-mobile to transfer my service to the new one, then send the old one back through ebay buyer protection for a refund. I'll be out almost $600 until the ebay refund goes through though.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] TrueYears:
if you bought it brand new, its a 1 year warranty with HTC, you can do t his through T-Mobile and they will charge you $20 to call and deal with it for you however, since we dont have SOFF, they will know you rooted it, there is this video that says rooting does not void your warranty so if you can prove to HTC that you rooting did NOT cause this, they shouldn't care
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] CrimsonKnight:
Is this $20 fee documented somewhere? Although I believe you I can't really point to an xda thread as source if the guy in the store says they don't do that.

Also, I'd be out a phone during this process right? And what if HTC tells me that me rooting my phone caused the vibration hardware to malfunction?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] TrueYears:
Okay then, if you bought it brand new, you have the receipt, you still have HTC 1 year warranty. You put it back to stock, and you tell them there is a problem with your phone. The vibration is off and its too weak. Then thats it. You will be out of a phone, if they do notice its rooted, which they probably wont if you resort it back to 100% stock and lock the booloader thought I am not sure about this, you can try to argue that it started happening way before you rooted it to fix an issue they are at fault here.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] CrimsonKnight:
I bought it from eBay, no receipt. I could ask the person I bought it from for their receipt I guess. And if I brought it back I would put it back to stock but the bootloader would still say relocked and tampered since we don't have an RUU for t-mobile yet.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] TrueYears:
Yeah basically so you will have to argue with then that this happened before you flashed the new Rom thinking that would fix it. My phone vibration starts strong and gets weak but it last like a good minute just vibrating in a decreasing way.

.I was considering rooting and flashing the new 1.29 update because ny buttons don't work eithe but since we don't have SOFF they will know

Hi!

I've been using ViperDHD 1.2.3 on my HTC DESIRE HD but now it crashed and it's stuck on the HTC logo. I belive the problem isn't the rom because I've been using it for almost a year and it has worked perfectly.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0mas_:
you can try flashing recovery from hboot and see if then you can at least boot into it. then make a backupz and reflash. dirty flash might help, if it doesnt, fullwipe then reflash. your data should still be in nand backup, and you should be able to extract it with titanium backup. if this dont work, you probably have a more serious problem...

it might be helpful if you could provide more details what exactly happened, because "crash" doesnt really tell a lot.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MMCMVI:
I choose the RECOVERY option from HBOOT menu (is this what you mean?), then it vibrated and showed the HTC logo and after that nothing happened.

I was playing music when the phone vibrated few times and the screen went black, I could still hear noise from the speaker. Then I took out the battery and put it back and then I booted the phone but it was stuck in the HTC logo.

So is it dead now? :crying:

I've tried diffrend sdcards and diffrend files but it doesn't work. I found onde PD98IMG file that the phone regonized but when i pressed "yes" it did something and showed the HTC logo and after that nothing happened.

The file that my phone found (link) is only 220kt so I think it would not work anyway.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Why are you trying to mess your device? You were running Gingerbread and you are trying to flash a Froyo RUU?? That is not good...you will probably mess the bootloader that way.

If you are s-off you can flash any ruu in fastboot...but if your device keeps vibrating for a while when you turn it on... and youwait for about 30 minutes and boots, then that means that your bootloader is corrupted and you need to fix it.

How long does it take to boot in hboot?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MMCMVI:
The phone starts like it should but it just get stuck on the HTC logo.

Booting in HBOOT goes also normaly, just few seconds from pressing the buttons.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0mas_:
mate, what are you trying to flash is bootloader not recovery. dont know why you want to do that? since your phone is behaving wierd, i dont think it is a good idea. you should find recovery image (.img) and flash with fastboot (your bootloader says you are eng s-off) or pdimg containing recovery, and then see if you can boot into it. if it does, you are on a good way to have your phone working again. if recovery flashes good and you still cant boot into it, i have no clue how to proceed...
