Secure Data Destruction for Android is a tool to destroy files so they can not be recovered.

It will overwrites the actual content of those files, so a file recovery app may be able to restore these files but the content will be destroyed.

You should used it to destroy sensitive files before selling your device.

You can:

1. Wipe files: you select one or more files with the checkboxes and press the trash icon. The selected files will be overwritten. After the files are cleaned, they will be truncated, renamed and then deleted.

2. Wipe free space: press the card in the list that you want to wipe. You can choose between the internal memory, an external microsd (FAT) or a USB key (FAT). After a confirmation, it will be filled with temporary files until the card is full to overwrite previously deleted files. These temporary files will be deleted at the end of the operation.

Hi.

I have a HTC One silver 32GB from 8th April (Germany o2)

I unlocked Bootloader.

Rercovery on it.

Did backup of phone.

Flashed Trickdroid.

Deleted it and restored backup.

Thats what I did on begin of may.

Then after 2 weeks...

Was playing Real racing 3. Phone is as always hot. Battery must be like 50%

I put it on charger for 20 mins.

When I pull charger off. LED goes off as usual but phone does nothing anymore.

Can't enter bootloader. Can't start. Can't Soft reset. Nothing works. Booting to Bootloader via One-All-In-OIne Kit and USB Cable doesn't work since it can't detect phone.

Stupid company said that unlocking Bootloader voids warranty so..

What can I do? I will try to stop contract because there are European rules that in first 6 month they gotta do everything.

Ty for ur help.

EDIT: The repairing company did send me a pic of bootloader. Btw HOW did they get there?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] specter491:
I can verify that the light trick works. Someone else on here said its because HTC wanted to prevent somebody from hitting those two buttons in their pocket and resetting the phone. So they make the phone be in a bright light in order for you to reset the phone in that manner
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uZzY94:
Didn't work. Used my HTC Wildfires Torch. Will use a stronger light later... Did u mean not to cover the 2 sensors on top right?

Already sent. I had to pay extra 30€ fee to get my unrepaired phone back btw. HTC also won't repair for me. Also asked the german HTC website. They tried to help me but HTC declined.........

Btw I edited my first post. A pic of my bootloader by the repairing company. Cos of that pic they declined to repair..

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] millicent:
I would try some more combinations at resurrecting your phone.

firstly, just keep it plugged for awhile, say an hour, from computer usb, various wall chargers you might have around, especially charging capacities, then try again, power+vol down, power+vol up. try the buttons with phone plugged in as well. try the light trick but also the no light as well, ie complete darkness.

honestly never had a hard brick before but soft ones a ton, always was able to bring it back. the worst was the hp touchpad, was probably completely discharged under android, some of the ideas above come from that experience..

good luck

Try removing SIM tray, leaving it charging on your PC for a while. Then, hold all three buttons down for 2 mins (It's hard). If that doesn't do anything, then just try getting to bootloader while under a bright light, plugged into the computer with SIM tray out.

No idea if this works, but it might.

try more times to enter the bootloader with the charger plugged in.

It sounds to me like a power issue. It could be the charging module or even a burned protection fuse in the motherboard.

You actually go to the company to which you sent your phone and tell them to get into bootloader once again.

Tell them you dont want replacement and you just want it to be in bootloader mode

Once you are there, your phone can be easily resurrected

Dont forget to thank if this helped you

There is only 1 way to contact the company: Via phone.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giaomnitel1:
Hi all,

is it possible to use our Nexus 4 as a Desktop PC?

I read that we could connect bluetooth mouse and keyboard and that we can connect an HDMI monitor.

Btw, is it possible to use a "standard" linux distro, such as Ubuntu (not Ubuntu Phone)?

Morover, is it possible to give power to our Nexus 4 while it is connected to an HDMI monitor?

Thank you
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
is it possible to use our Nexus 4 as a Desktop PC?

Not really, and if it were, it wouldn't be worth it. See below.

I read that we could connect bluetooth mouse and keyboard and that we can connect an HDMI monitor.

I think it is possible for the bluetooth kb+m. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure the Nexus doesn't output video through the micro USB port on the bottom so the monitor trick won't work.

Btw, is it possible to use a "standard" linux distro, such as Ubuntu (not Ubuntu Phone)?

Nope. The architecture of the CPU is completely different and won't run desktop versions of Ubuntu.

Morover, is it possible to give power to our Nexus 4 while it is connected to an HDMI monitor?

If the Nexus DID output video through the micro USB jack, it would only be possible if 1. the TV/monitor you are connecting to gave out power through the same port it inputted video and 2. the Nexus received power through the same port it outputted video, neither of which are very common.

I think what you're looking for is a Raspberry Pi or something like that. It's basically a little credit card-sized board that you can use as a server or home PC or whatever you want, really. Plus it's really cheap. Google it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
Depends on what you view a Desktop PC as and what you want to do. You can attach a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and hook up to a display. As for charging while hooked up to HDMI, Qi charging may work (Nexus 4 Charging Orb, Energizer Charging Mat, etc.).

Using a standard Linux distro is possible. There are a few things you can do to setup a linux enviroment (chroot into one from Android). Then there is Ubuntu Touch. There is now even Fedora 19.

If you know the limitations of such a setup (x86 programs can't run on ARM for example), it could work alright :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
I might have spoken too soon. It seems espionage724 knows a lot more about it than I do. Disregard my post, OP.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucasleal:
With a proper adapter to HDMI you can charge the phone while output to TV. No need for induction charger.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziddey:
You can look into linuxonandroid but I'm not sure if the n4 is a supported device. Given the web oriented nature of everything nowadays, android itself should be enough depending on what you want to do.

Get a slimport adapter to connect a monitor. By default you're limited to a charge rate of 500ma but you can use a custom kernel to enable fast charging for up to 1A.

BT keyboard and mice are possible but some people have issues running BT and WiFi concurrently on the n4 so watch out for that.

Miracast is also an option but its quite laggy.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giaomnitel1:
I know that the ARM architecture is different from x86 ..

I thought, it's possible to run linux on the Raspberry PI... why not on our more powerfull CPU? :)

Fedore 19 could be interesting to try...

Can you suggest me a micro-usb/hdmi adapter which allows me to charge the phone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucasleal:
If u search for slimport at ebay u will find a few that can be connected to the wall charger.

No WIFI turn on after flashing a rom?

That's because Sammy locked flashing radio+modem on our phones.

But there is where android command line comes in handy...

Put the two files from any downloaded stock rom you are currently running on your SDCARD:

NON-HLOS.bin

modem.bin

and execute the following in adb or in the emulator:

su
cd mnt/sdcard/
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=backup-NON-HLOS.bin
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=backup-modem.bin

Now, when the backup is done - just in case, let's flash:

dd if=NON-HLOS.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=modem.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
reboot

Done, your WIFI is restored!

Hello everyone, albeit I have a substantial experience with Samsung Galaxy devices, I am new to the world of Sony (Ericsson) Xperia devices in the Android universe.

:silly:

A friend of mine has entrusted with me his Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, to eventually root the device and consequently flash various compatible firmwares, albeit there is seemingly a glitch with his device which I will mention below.

:o

I intend on discussing my queries related to the aforementioned device within this single thread, rather than create separate threads for multiple queries.

;)

Coming to the glitch with my friend's device, after it is powered on, the Sony Ericsson logo keeps reappearing, and this I presume is a bootloop, right? Thus, I thought I will try and attempt to get it working by flashing a stock firmware using Flashtool. But before I begin, I have a few basic queries pertaining to stock firmwares.

How do I identify which country's/region's firmware is existent on the device?

Can I use a stock firmware of any country/region I desire? If so, am I correct to believe it would have to be a generic kit and not a branded one?

:confused:

The device details of my friend's Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 are as follows -

Model Number:

X10i

Android Version:

2.3.3

Baseband Version:

2.1.71

Build Number:
