How I recover from my dead XDA II ..

I have to agree with DCS that those are the rules and you need to follow them properly. It's not the ROM that's having the problem but the procedure needs to be followed.

In my case I didn't have the Sync cable properly connected (I bought a new sync cable & I didn't use the cradle) to upgrade the XDAII (duh!).. and I paid the price of having my heart droped on the floor ..

My nightmare started when the cable came loose halfway through the upgrade, so the XDA kind of "hung" and when I tried to reset it, it refuse to show any signs. Do a small test. My guess is as long as you take out the battery, put the XDA II into the charger (without a battery), and the red light comes on, that's a good sign.

For those who is stuck in this situation try this steps:

1) Remove the main battery

2) Leave it out for at least 30mins (to drain the backup battery)

3) Go make your self a coffee or watch TV (time flies faster than staring at your XDAII)

4) Put the battery back (at this stage it still won't work)

5) Put the XDAII into the AC Charger (give it a good 5mins charge)

6) Then keep doing the hard reset (just don't give up, it's like doing CPR, your XDAII will show "Serial 1.06" after a good hard resets ...)

Those steps above did work for my XDAII .... and it should work for most cases as I believe when we upgrade (the ROM) we don't touch the bootloader. Sometimes when we screw up, the XDAII got "hung" and it needs a good "cold boot". Taking the battery out won't help because the backup battery is still in. After a good "cold boot" the XDAII will boot into the bootloader and you can resume your upgrade ;-)

NOTE : Do keep your fingers cross through out the entire process.

PS: Thanks to DCS, Twinkle, mamaich and many others who contributed to this fine forum ... Long live the XDA I, II, IIs, III .... beyond ....

How to upgrade my BOOOTLOADER VERSION (it shows USB 1.01)

Is there a way to change my bootloader version from USB 1.01 to 1.06? I'm currently using T-Mobile MDA-II.

Thanks beforehand!

I have a big problem: this summer i dropped my MDA2 on a concrete floor and i broke the power button so I cant make anything but soft reset, or to remove the battery for 30 min for hard reset.

Re: How I recover from my dead XDA II ..

I'm trying and trying to hard reset it :( I can't see the bootloader, I discharged the backup batt already. Can you help here or is there any other suggestion?

Ps: If I remove the battery and plug the Ac.Adpt I can see here the red light , but if I put back the battery there won't be red light , is that normal ?

Sanity saved

Thanx to dcs i was able to get my device working again.

During upgrade (wich was also possible due to time and effort by DCS) my laptop went into standby for unknown reason.

So my xda got stuck in T-Mobile bootscreen

It was this thread and especially the posting by dcs wich saved my ass (and xda)

for i did not know about the reset with third button to get into bootloader.

Now i finally upgraded to 2003SE.

Thanx DCS!!

Re: How I recover from my dead XDA II ..

Just searching through the old threads and I found this post by alvinlim28. I have the same simptoms, white screen, won't start, I get the red light when I remove the battery and place the hima in the craddle, so I guess I'll be up all night trying to get into bootloader and reflash. Thanks all for the contribution in this forum, and thank God for the search option :)

I am stuck in a liquid smooth bootloop. Coming from the GEEWHIZ 4.4 Rom which I liked but wanted to try something different. Placed rom and gapps in root of sd card. Odin'd all the way back to stock. Let phone reboot then odin'd cm4 fixed for cm7 to put clockwork mod on phone. Do the factory reset, wipe dalvic, wipe cache then flash rom. It does its thing and when its done it comes up in a different version of clockwork mod. I select it to reboot and the LiquidSmooth screen comes up and it goes no further. I thought it might just be busy so I let the phone sit for almost 45 minutes same thing. I havent flashed anything in a while maybe I forgot a step. Any help will be appreciated. If theres a post drop me a link.

Thank in advance.

You are all good,,, 3 finger into recovery and flash liquid again,,, it will possibly give you an warning/ error code,,, and that's normal,,, just flash Rom one more time, then gapps, then reboot,,, should not normally

I've been sitting on this for a while but finally decided to speak up on it. I've been reading advice all over since the Froyo days that clearing Google Services Framework is a good idea to solve some play store and/or random app related problems. It is not a good idea to do this. Let me explain why:

Google Services Framework, among other things, contains device data for services like the awesome C2DM (Cloud to Device Messaging) service. What is this you ask? Well, in a nut shell, it is responsible for delivering messages from the cloud to your phone for a particular app without requiring that app to run and constantly maintain a data connection. This was introduced in Froyo (If I'm not mistaken) and helps conserve battery life. For example, Angry Birds Friends has C2DM because it will notify you of someone beating your score without the app running in the background. Angry Birds Friends does not use the on boot permission, so it needs not remain running eating up data just to receive notifications. Understand? :) A lot of apps are designed like this and it is a very good practice for developers who want to include notifications without needing their app to run in the background all of the time.

Clearing Google Services Framework will cause the C2DM service for every app that uses it to fail until that said app also has its data cleared and is launched and configured again (first time use). If you've ever wondered why your notifications for certain apps stop working, it was probably due to reading advice on clearing Google Services Framework to solve some other problem.

If you don't mind setting up all of your C2DM capable apps again, then go ahead and clear Google Services Framework data. However, if you have quite a few apps, like myself, then clearing it is a bad idea. I found this out a long time ago. There may also be other side effects associated with clearing Google Services Framework, but this is the one I've never seen mentioned before.

Enjoy!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hmgrepper:
Awesome info ... which leads to a dumb question:

I've never went in and cleared any framework, but I've lost notifications. I've removed and reinstalled apps, get notifications back, but then they stop again.

Is it safe to assume this is something that's been cooked into the ROM?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Aldo6:
C2DM? It seems this is what was used before, but I think things have changed in Android ever since. I'm not an expert or anything, but recent apps are relying on GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) for notifications. The problem is that (to my understanding) GCM comes with Google Play Services and not Google Services Framework. To the point where not only Google Apps need Google Play Services, but other non-Google related apps require it for notifications (such as Facebook's Messenger). So maybe nowadays, clearing data on the Google Services Framework might not imply notification-related problems.

Hello again to all the xda members . :)

I have bought Samsung Galaxy Grand duos i9082 few days ago & have some problems & some queries .

1. When I switch my device off I can't hear the turn off sound anymore , but in sound settings all the system sound are set in a high volume. So I would like to know from where or how can I turn on the switch off sound just like before ?

2. Well the 2nd question might sound like strange , when I went to the shop to buy the device , they show me the live demo set (Samsung Galaxy Grand duos i9082) they have in the store , I noticed that I don't need to touch the lock screen to unlock it , just a swap of my hand over the screen without any touch , then a friend of mine also tried that & happened the same . I'm 200 percent sure the device was Samsung Galaxy Grand duos i9082 & we didn't touch the screen to unlock it . Even that device can show videos on the screen , well the shop keeper was also a noob like me , so he said that its a software installed by Samsung . But Unfortunately my Samsung Galaxy Grand duos i9082 doesn't have this feature .

So I would like to know is there any possibility to have that feature also on my device or am I missing something ? . :cyclops:

yup i agree with rejoice001... IR sensor is used by samsung for air gesture... but i have a little doubt about the difference between the two i mean air gesture and air view... air gesture uses IR sensor while probably air view uses proximity sensor probably.. want 2 know difference between two.. well if air view is related with proximity sensor (& front camera) then i think grand would b able to support the same...:cowboy:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rejocie001:
Air view feature is used by front camera.. Do u notice about smart stay features in grand.. Screen stays as long as you are looking into it.. if you are watching any movies, it will pause automatically when you turn your face from front camera.. And when u concentrate on the screen will resume the watching video.. This feature is implemented in gs4. This is called air view feature.. And u can scroll Web pages using your eyes up and down... This features works only on stock browser and video player... Proximity sensor- when you are in call it emits a weak infrared rays for a small distance say 1cm,, which hits on your head and gives signal back to phone...from this,, phone recognises some object is there... its time to turn off the screen.. Thus saves battery... If you keep the phone away,,say,, you have to search some contacts in between the call , sensor recognise there is no obstruction,, thus screen turns on automatically..Now a days most battery savers using this technology.. If you forgot to turn off the screen and it's kept on your pocket screen turns off immediately.. There is one more application called smart cover.. If you using a flip cover.. When u close screen turns off.. When u open flip cover the screen turns on automatically.. Like this u can saves more battery... Hope u got my point..last and least.. There is no relation between air view and proximity sensor...
