They really don't want my survey though I did comment why provide the tool to unlock your system if you do not (factory) have a process to repair or at least restore to factory defaults. Will probably purchase a mainboard on ebay for approx $80 and repair myself.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kleinfeld:
Just heard back from Asus myself & it's not good; they want €316 (eur) to repair the motherboard! What a joke!

Do you think I should cut my losses now or at least pay to get it back without repair?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kleinfeld:
I received it back today free of charge & without repair.

Although I'm gutted they they wouldn't/couldn't fix it for a reasonable price, I would still highly rate ASUS's customer service.

At the end of the day I must take responsibility for having an unlocked device & attempting to flash a custom recovery. Maybe I can buy a motherboard & repair it myself

bootloader unlock tool

I had almost the same problem, but i wiped it to factory in bootloader. And then it is bricked. This is due to a fault of asus unlock tool. I live in spain and here they do not understand thst it is there fault it is bricked. Iam know they can flash it. They just won,t do it if you are unlocked.

replaced motherboard?

Can you please share how difficult it was and can you now tell that the unit has been taken apart? Thanks for your help - Bill
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kleinfeld:
The whole procedure was fairly straight forward, once you get it open it's just a case of undoing a few screws & plugs; look for disassembly videos on youtube ;)

As for whether one could tell if it's been opened, I couldn't really say. I don't recall breaking any seals as such, but then ASUS might have hidden them. There's no visible damage from the outside, just be careful not to crack or scratch the screen when prying the device open.

Hope this helps.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jynto:
So I know that the Galaxy S predates, SDXC, but I've seen a few threads around the internet saying it was unofficially forward compatible with the new cards (google 'i9000 sdxc'). I decided to purchase a 64-gig Sandisk card and give it a go in my aging i9000, which runs Cyanogenmod 7.2 (Android version 2.3.7).

I formatted the card as MS-DOS FAT using Disk Utility on my Mac. When I insert it into the phone's SD card slot, I get a notification that says "SD card safe to remove", which is dumb. I go to System settings and mount it manually, which appears to do something for a short while - there's a persistent notification that says "Preparing SD card, checking for errors". But then after about a minute it crashes and gets stuck on a black screen

Details of the crash: the status bar is still visible, but the clock doesn't move. And no amount of button-mashing will change the contents of that screen, so I have to pull the battery. Before I formatted it, the SD card was ExFAT, which Android recognised as 'damaged', failed to format it properly, but there were no severe crashes.

Assuming it is a software problem, could it be fixed by installing a newer version of Cyanogenmod?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compacity:
hohoho, da most high sd i9000 can be use (in my information) was sdhc,xc will be too much, but i try it with 15 sgs with 20 card(variable by class,type,model n size) it seem only 2 sgs survive when i inserted 64gb sdxc! other died in war :p

so da conclusion i gain was, only certain i9000 can withstand with 64gb sdxc, mostly survive only with max 32gb sdxc and no more than that.

if ur saying software or ROM failure, i dont think so. as all 15 sgs (borrow from my friends) are in 4.1 and 4.2 with OC activated (coz i think maybe....n maybe insufficient hz)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Validusrname:
First of all i want to say "Hi!" to all of you.

I've been reading a lot on this forum. Also i was using "Search" and google the last 3 days. I did find a lot, but nothing could solve my problem completely. So i decided to finally write a thread.

My device is a desire HD, Andriod Version: 2.3.5 , Sense: 3.0

All i want is to get away from the stock ROM and install a custom ROM.

There are a lot of HOW-TOs on the internet but either they are on windows or they are using methods that aren't up to date.

I tried HTCdev, but it wont work with HBOOT 2.00.0027. So i was looking for a way to update HBOOT. Same issue, a lot of windows how-to's but nothing about linux.

What is the latest way to get a custom ROM on a Desire HD if there is just linux available?

Looking forward hearing from you!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Without unlocking the bootloader you won't be able to flash anything in linux nor windows. You need to update your hboot to 0029 version. If your build version does not allow you to do that, then create a goldcard and flash a RUU that allow you to update. That is all in the stickie on how to root without the hack kit.

Adapt it for linux. You have a goldcard site now set by Gene Poole in here: http://huygens.hoxnet.com/goldcard.html

Try flashing this:

or this:

http://www.htcdev.com/ruu/PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe

If you are not able to flash those, then you will need the golcard procedure.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Validusrname:
Thanks for the files, but they're *.exe so i cannot run them on linux. There's another thread in this forum with this issue. The guy tried using Wine but didn't succed. I have to find a way to run these files or update HBOOT another way.

Alright! With help of the files you sent me i was able to flash HBOOT and after done that i unlocked the bootloader with HTCdev.

Now i will go on and my aim is to have a Custom ROM flashed.

THANKS!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Validusrname:
Ok, i managed to flash a ROM (PACman).

There are just few thing that still keep bothering me.

I fallowed the "stickie on how to root without the hack kit". Bootloader unlocked with HTCdev, flashed a CustomRecovery (CWM).

After that i was able to flash a Custom ROM with CWM and fastboot (for the boot.img).

The only thing i could not do was to flash SU or SuperSU, what about it?

I am still on S-ON. Also i want to try 4EXT but i read it's just for S-OFF.

Will keep on trying!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknownprotocols:
My phone had been working beautifully, and has never been submerged in water. Out of nowhere, the earpiece just stopped working... No ringing, no sound period. Speakerphone worked, bluetooth worked, so I assumed I would need to replace the speaker. Turns out it was different issue entirely...

Inside the headphone jack there is obviously a switch or some kind of mechanism that does the headset plugged in/removed detection. If you use headphones often, this mechanism wears down and will get stuck in one mode or the other. You can either replace the headphone port, or download an app that will disable headset detection.

I am in no way intending to advertise this app, but it fixed my issue... Soundabout (free version) has a checkbox for enable headset detection that you untick, and voila, sound works again.

You may have to retick/untick this box again when you plug in/remove headphones...

I just wanted to share this info with the community. If this is the wrong place to do so, I apologize. Hopefully it will help someone.

[HTC Desire C] King-V:
My phone is an HTC Desire C, with 4.0.3 Android OS and HTC Sense 4.0. Straight to the problem - I'm following HTCdev's guide to unlock bootloader (for obvious reasons), and basically the problem is that it doesn't seem to work for my phone. I can get into HBOOT easily, that's not the problem. The problem is: I go to FASTBOOT with the power button, I select BOOTLOADER, but when I want to open it with the power button, it just goes back to the FASTBOOT menu each time I try... or is that supposed to happen?:confused:
[HTC Desire C] penguin449:
Although this is major noobish many people have this problem, first of all, which windows are you running? Have you got all the drivers and stuff installed? If yes, do a bat pull, connect to USB, put bat back in and hold power and volume down until it shows boot, it will then run a check so wait, and then just simply press power button ONCE and that's fastboot!
[HTC Desire C] King-V:
Running Windows 7 Ultimate x86. According to HTCDev I got what's needed: Java, HTC Sync, Android SDK, drivers are fully installed and fully working. I'll try to do what you told me. Will edit to tell the result.

Thank You. It worked and am rooted now.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samw52000:
Alright, I'm just completely perplexed about this issue.

I have a Nexus 7 16GB (the crappy one with bad storage issues yes).

Device is rooted and I'm running CM10.

Now the device will run perfectly smooth right after I flash a new CM update or right after the device is formatted and programmed reinstalled.

Over time things slowly start slowing down.

At some point the device is sooo slow that I just want to throw is again the wall. Nothing has changed from the time that the rom was flashed, just regular day to day use (no app installed, no files created besides temp stuff).

I've tried clearing the caches, rebooting, running all kinds of utilities, killing running apps and so on, nothing seems to be cutting it and making the device run as smoothly as when it was first flashed.

So the question is why is this happening and what could be causing these types of issues.

I don't have a problem with constantly upgrading but it's getting old.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FierceMist:
Try flashing a different kernel. I highly recommend M-Kernel. And if that doesn't work just try a completely different rom like Paranoid Android or AOKP.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samw52000:
Will give a shot. I was running motley a while back with good results. Ill check other ROMs too, just figures cm would be the most stable.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Westervoort:
You can try running the fstrim command (this works as long as you have kept the busybox that came with cyanogenmod).

Open terminal emulator and type:

su

fstrim -v /cache

fstrim -v /system

fstrim -v /data

reboot

This might all just be placebo so I also recommend flashing metallice's M-kernel. Remember to set CPU to 1300 max at boot to preserve battery life and not overclock (you can do this in the power menu).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samw52000:

EDIT: Its amazing how typing everything help when asking for help can give you an idea on how to fix it. I downloaded the recovery image manually, unpacked it once, loaded it up in RapidCRC to figure out its MD5, restarted the factory reset program, and bam all working. Guess I was just being dumb and overlooking the obvious. Thanks anyhow all. Sorry for the trouble.

Hello all, I am in quite the pickle and I hope someone here can help me.

Not long ago I unlocked my Nexus 10's boot loader and installed TWRP recovery and a rooted copy of 4.2.2. I did all of this using the latest Nexus root toolkit, and I had zero issues. However recently I decided to revert back to stock completely. This brings me to the problem I am having.

So this morning these were my exact steps. Again, the current state of my Nexus 10 before I did anything was Unlocked Bootloader, TWRP Recovery, and 4.2.2 rooted installed. Nothing else.

I loaded up the Nexus Root Toolkit and connected my tablet to my computer making sure to use a USB port that worked last time. Made sure USB Debugging was enabled and clicked the "Flash Stock + Unroot" button. I followed all the steps and selected the latest (4.2.2) recovery image. Everything appeared to be going ok. I will now post exactly what I saw on the flashstock.bat window below.

sending 'bootloader' <1280 KB>...

OKAY [ 0.141s]

writing 'bootloader'...

OKAY [ 0.124S]

finished. total time: 0.270s

rebooting into bootloader....

OKAY [ 0.004s]

finished. total time: 0.006s

archive does not contain 'boot.sig'

archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'

failed to allocate 535248732 bytes

error: update package missing system.img

It then closed and showed the completion message in the console window and said something along the lines of "press any key to close". In the bootloader it said " fastboot status fail signature verification".

At this point I thought "well, maybe it did not send the reboot single" so I selected the reboot option from the bootloader and all it did was hang at the google logo. Nothing happened. Next I tried rebooting into the bootloader and selecting recovery. Here is where I got very worried as nothing happened except a black screen. Nothing at all. Its like it does not have a recovery system at all.

I tried redoing the whole process and the same thing happened. I hope someone can help me as I really have no idea what to do and am quite frightened I broke it. The only thing I can think that leads me to believe me I can salvage this is that I can still get into the bootloader and as a result I assume I can get into fastboot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much,

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Joel:
I got my xda 2 a while back, about 2-3 months, never noticed this before, but, it seems when its in the cradle, and the cradle is plugged into both USB and the DC adapter, the whole phone becomes live, i've had a few (minor) shocks off it, seems there must be some earth leakage somewhere. Anyone had any issues like this? I think its also causing the XDA to hard reset when being dropped into the cradle, its done it a few times, but its gotten really bad latley. anyone any ideas? I dident get it from o2 so i dont know what they'd be like on the RMA, i dont mind paying for a repair if necessary. or will it be easier to buy a new cradle and adapter?

Cheers

Joel
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] adesalis:
Probably easier and cheaper to buy a new cradle. Strange though, I thought the cradle case was plastic (mine's at home, so can't check). What happens if you use just the dc plug with the push-in convertor? Sure you haven't got a bit of scarf stuck in the xda's pins that's connecting up to the case when you push it home?

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Joel:
yeh, thets what im thinking, it seems ok if the cradle isnt plugged into usb, i'll try it on a different computer, i have had problems with my laptop and shorting before :/
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] adesalis:
Well I'd definitely advise against using it in the laptop anymore until you track it down. If current is being passed through the wrong channels, you're running the risk of frying your device. I'm sure you know that :)

Having just said don't use it on that laptop anymore, how about trying different USB ports to see if you have a port or a mobo problem? Shorts can be very difficult to track down, good luck.

Alex.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sicdude:
I am relatively new to this whole scene so please be nice

So prior to unlocking the bootloader and rooting my Sprint HTC One, I created an adb backup of my phone. I actually did this two different ways (one by accident) in the command prompt I ran a "-all" and I also created a package (and I'm paraphrasing a bit) using "-apk -all" Phone is unlocked and rooted just fine and I tried to use Titanium Backup to restore the .ab file. The problem is that when I do this, it just sits telling me that it is "analyzing the adb file" and does nothing more. I can't actually tell if it is doing anything or not. and I tried this with both of the two different .ab files.

I also tried running the restore from my PC but when I do, it hangs on the com.android.provider.contacts

can anyone try and help me with this. I mean ultimately it's just me being lazy and not wanting to re-install everything and I also would like some of my game data back.

Can anyone help out with this?
