whats happening with my device?

Hello everybody,

My Xperia Mini ST15i (with 2.3.4 ROM, & 4.0.2.a.0.42 Build Number) can't turn on properly.

Just stuck at 'Sony Ericsson' (before the logo). :(

I tried to press power + volume down, but it wont open the CWM.

Then I want to flash with the latest flashtool 0.9.xx, but the log status was:

29/044/2013 21:44:06 - INFO - <- This level is successfully initialized

29/044/2013 21:44:06 - INFO - Flashtool Version 0.9.11.0 built on 2013-06-04 22:50:00

29/044/2013 21:44:35 - INFO - Device disconnected

29/046/2013 21:46:03 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off

29/046/2013 21:46:03 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode

So what should I do for this problem?

Even I can't turn on the USB debugging and switch to MSC mode because the device stuck at 'Sony Ericsson'.

Everybody please help me :(

I can't do this without your kindness and your guide.

Thanks a lot. I hope you all can reply my mesage.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fidorulz:
On my S3 and S2 there where a few super wipe zip files that would factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik and clear all kernel settings.

This was handy for flashing roms since you would flash this via recovery and you would be good to go to install your rom

Is there such a script for the S4 cause I have been looking for a while with no luck.

I dont want to use the ones for the S3 in case they are not compatible

Thanks

Is it really that hard to just wipe manually? It takes a whole 15 seconds of your life!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fidorulz:
I'm not saying it's hard just when you flash a rom a day it adds up. Plus if using twp you simply need to add to the queue and then the rom and your done.

Also it avoids forgetting something for a clean install

Just asking that's all
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
TWRP has a 1 step wipe procedure....slide the bar is all you do. 2 seconds.

sliding that bar does this...

factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik and clear all kernel settings.

That is why you can't find a wipe script, btw, I looked yesterday for you, was going to post a link, never seen one for g4 actually.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fidorulz:
I would love to use TWRP full time but it dosnt support vr themes and I know that will be an issue down the road with ROMs. I don't want to have to follow the zip aline procedure mentioned by teamw every time I download a ROM

http://teamw.in/VRThemes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
The VrTheme engine may require that, but the maker of the actual theme, incorporated the fix, I have flashed 2 of these themes already using TWRP.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2313635

So whats the point here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fidorulz:
But it varies from one theme maker to another. If the maker dosnt put the fix then it wont work.Some may make the themes without the fixes.

In any case im just asking if this file exists for use with ALL recovery's

All other samsungs have the script zip file just wanted it for the S4

Hi guys, i have been thinking about swapping my HTC One with S4. I have used galaxy all along since S1 to S3 and i am not able to digest HTC i guess, Whatever.

Somewhere i read(can't remember where) display issues with S4. With my S3 i had black shade bug with 4.2.1.I hope this is not there in S4, is it ?

Any other display issues that bothered you ?

Help me guys. Thanks in advance.

I actually just did the same switch. Best decision I could make. Yes the HTC feels like a better made device, but the speed and screen quality just feels better. Even though they may be close.

I am very happy to have switched
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] builtboosted:
I did the same thing as well. I had the HTC one for three days. After one day I rooted and rom'd it and after that I realized I didn't like it. Went back to art and exchanged for the s4. I was happier instantly. Do it you be much better off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] capathy21:
Another former ONE owner here. I had the s3 and upgraded to the s4 without considering anything else due to how much I loved my s3. After 2 days with the s4 I kept thinking about the ONE so I decided to exchange my s4 for the ONE. It is a really nice device but after a couple of days the little things started getting to me. I really missed the physical home button and ultra pixel or not the camera was just terrible. I paid another 35 to go back with the s4 and it's the best decision I've made. I only wish I hadn't tried the ONE in the first place because I wasted 70 bucks in restocking fees validating something I already knew, the gs4 is awesome:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] varunkumars:
Thanks all you guys. I actually bought it from Tiger direct and they gave me 15 days exchange time. Now i am 2 weeks past 15 days. I have been looking at craigslist too for a swap. Any suggestions ?

In the meantime i SIM unlocked(for 3$) it and unlocked the bootloader too.

Re: where to find ROM 1.06.02

Garinx,

You can download the radio rom from here - ftp://xda:xda@xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/RadioROM/BA_FRA_BelDT_12202_558_10602_Ship/ . This file is radio only so it will support any BlueAngel based device.

By the way, this is ONLY the radio file!!!! You will have to place this radio_.nbf file into an extracted ROM folder to perform the upgrade. PM me for help!

Good luck,

Dom

Is it possible to upgrade just the radio, without doing a a full rom upgrade.

By that i mean, doing a upgrade to the same Rom and extended rom but changing the radio file.

Can i simply just upgrade the radio only

Thanks

John
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Bebbo:
Yes, you can update just one ROM at a time. All you need to do is remove the other two ROMs from the upgrade directory and you will see that when you run the upgrade program that only the remaining rom is listed as an update.

This works as I have carried out the same procedure to update my radio to 1.06.02 but I cannot remember if the unit hard resets itself after the update. Just to be safe - do a full backup first!

Happy updating.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xdadom:
John,

Yes, this is possible as it states above.

All I did was back up my device, then replaced the radio file in the ROM upgrade and then run the upgrade! After installing and Hard Resetting, I just restored from backup!

Let me know if you do it and how it went.

Dom
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] marka2k:

Yes you can only upgrade the radio, be sure and back up the device as this will also need a hard reset and all you're custom programs/settings will be gone you can restore with the backup.

Backup and remove all .nbf files except for the radio_.nbf file and run baUpgrade.exe

This will upgrade the radio only, I did this last night and it works

:D

yesterday's Subject: HELP! Microphone shut-off/power-safe during calls

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just bought the Qtek 9090 about a week ago. Great machine, but calling is aweful. I have the same problem that I read about somewhere else on the net: during calls the microphone shuts off when I don't talk. When I start talking there is a short delay I guess, which makes the connection sound cracky or interrupted to the other person on the line. Is this a known issue to anyone here? Is this a software or hardware prob? Should I send it back? Will they be able to repair it, exchange it or do nothing at all? Please reply quickly. I need to know what to do in order to send it back in time! Thx a bunch!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
So I finally made the jump and got S-Off using the Moonshine method (Love that sh** BTW) and I flashed CM10 Stable from the Cyanogen website directly. The first error I got was the keyboard would not come up and I was unable to even do anything. I tried using a different keyboard under setting and wouldn't even let me change it.

Next I flashed the latest Nightly thinking this would maybe be more stable and that one gave me the "no SD card error" so I can't use the camera whatsoever.

My question is what version of CM10 fixes both of these issues, or at least somewhat fixes them? I having been flashing for several years so I am used to things being broken in CM10, but these two things are very crucial. Is there a CM10 ROM or variant that works stable enough for daily use? I know there is a flashable zip file fix for the SD card issue, but I really wanted to use the stable version, but the keyboard issue really kills that idea. Am I doing something wrong when flashing the stable version?

Any help would be appreciated. I have no problem using a custom AOSP CM10 based wrong, but there are so many I don't know what to choose?

Thank all.

[Nook Touch General] 160thehaven:
Got a new nook simple touch- charged in for 24 hours - will not power up- has the same screen all the time "fully charge before first use".

Tried 4 different charges, cables and different PC's. Contacted Barnes & Noble support - talked me through all various software resets pressing buttons - nothing worked - then told me take it back to store. I cannot return the thing as live outside uk.

I have tried removing the battery by taking the thing apart , leaving battery disconnected for a few hours - reconnecting it but nothing works.

The LED light is always green when plugged into charger, from what i gather it should be orange when charging?

The battery also does not seem to be heating up when charging, i have touched it a few times to test its stone cold

Nothing happens when connected to PC either.

Does anyone know any reset procedure that i can try please as i am getting to the stage of throwing this thing into the bin?:eek:

it may just be a bad unit
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
If you have a voltmeter, see if you can measure a voltage across the red and black leads out of the battery.

The Nook will not boot up without a battery (on the USB obviously).

I haven't looked into whether it's a safety on the thermistor or what.
[Nook Touch General] 160thehaven:
Thanks i do have a voltmeter but there is no red black lead, there are 6 wires as in the image attached, do you know what the six wires are or is there anyway to find a pinout from them so i could meter it?

There's no other tricks to reset the battery is there i have heard sometimes the battery needs to be left unconnected for a few hours then reconnected but that didn't do nothing for me

Thanks
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I see red, I see black. :p

The two red wires on the connector are positive.

The two black leads on the connector are negative.

The yellow and the green are for the thermistor to measure battery temperature.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
A truly frozen Nook.

I finally got around to investigating fully the whole battery wiring on the Nook.

Some people have expressed interest in running a Nook without a battery.

Removing the battery and using USB power does not work.

As stated above, of the 6 wires, the two red are positive and the two black are negative.

The green wire is a battery ID.

This is a 30K ohm resistance to ground to indicate that the battery is plugged in.

The yellow wire is for battery temperature.

This is a NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor.

It has a resistance of about 10K ohms at room temperature, decreasing as the temperature goes up.

You can run your Nook without the yellow wire (thermistor).

(The battery temperature will be off.)

You do need the green wire (battery ID) to get the Nook to power.

If you want to run your Nook without a battery,

connect a 30K from green to ground (27K seems to work fine) and

connect a 10K from yellow to ground (just to be nice) and

feed the V+ battery with around 4V.

You might try feeding that with a diode voltage drop off the USB connector.

(I didn't try that.)

The screen shot indicates -40C for open and +40C for 5K ohms.

(Thanks to 160thehaven for the photo. I have no macro lens.)
[Nook Touch General] 160thehaven:
okay close to throwing this thing away, the light is always green. I think the battery is not charging. even though when plugged in i seem to be getting a voltage swing on the red and black wires.

Should i measure the voltage across the red and black wires when booting up the nook? with the usb disconnected
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
To make life easy, grab the ground off the metal cage for the SD card.

What's the voltage on the red with no USB connection?

When you connect the Nook to your PC does it ever say, "Found new device OMAP3630"?

The question, is the processor powering up at all?

Is it doing the primary bootloader?

Is it doing the secondary bootloader?

If you had a kernel console, it might tell you what's up.

Just for yucks, what's the voltage on the yellow and green test points?

Does it pulse every few seconds?
[Nook Touch General] 160thehaven:
his eedolsi

yes when plugged in the light is solid green but then pulses orange every few seconds
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Oh, I was asking if the green and yellow test points pulse.

What's the voltage on them?
[Nook Touch General] 160thehaven:
Mdevai 155

i give up no voltage anywhere, i think the battery is defective

thanks for you help its going to go in scrap heap- only useful debug feature it does is flash the orange light the odd time when connected to charger- prob means something to barnes and noble

im sorry i purchased this
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Aw, don't give up so easily.

I hate an unsolved mystery.

You're sure that your voltmeter is working correctly?

You can't measure anything from the V+ test point to the SD card metal frame?

There's no way to exchange it with B&N?

If you are really giving up, I'll take a look/keep it/fix it/return it/something.

Send me a PM for details.
[Nook Touch General] conan747:
I'm actually having the same problem. It started a couple of days ago. I tried using this method (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1813384) and I was able to at least boot it. However, after only one day (without using it much) it started failing again and now when I use that trick it lasts a few minutes.

I will try measuring the battery voltage and I wonder if it would be a good idea to try to re-root it. However, I don't know if I should try in case it freezes half way through the flashing and I end up with a nice black brick.

I think this issue is happening quite a lot. I hope we can all work together to find a solution.

--Update--

I checked the voltage on the battery and it shows 40mV. So it's definitely depleted. However, when I do the trick and manage to boot the device, it says that the battery is 100% charged and the green LED is on. Conclusion, the device is preventing the battery from getting charged :/ Any ideas how to fix this? Is there any other way I can charge the battery? ;)
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
40 mV?

If your voltmeter is working and on the correct place, then your battery is way dead, as in broken.

We can argue about whether you should discharge Li ion to 3.5 V, 3.3 V, 3.0 or even 2.5V,

but if any time it's reading a lot less than that, then you have a deceased battery.

If it's open or high resistance, a charging circuit can take it up to 4.1 V easily.

It would show as 100% charged but have no actual charge to backup that statistic.

It's interesting, because the BQ24072 should be able to power up the Nook without a battery.

I think it's that pesky MSP430F2272 that is not allowing the Nook to go on without a battery.

This calls for more experimenting!
[Nook Touch General] conan747:
First of all thank you for your help.

Maybe I measured it wrong?... I was checking the voltage between the red cable (or so I think) and the metallic frame where you put the micro SD card. I also checked it from there to the black cable and it said 0 V, as I was expecting.

Definitely! I'm up for it!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Look, Ma, no battery!

The Nook seems pretty idiosyncratic how it will turn on.

I was trying to make it work just USB powered.

At the least, that gives the people with battery problems a reference point.

On the photo above there are two points labelled "V+ Battery.

Solder the cathode (the stripey end) of a 1N4001 (or better) diode to one of these points.

Connect the anode of the diode to the red wire of a spare, gutted USB cable.

Connect the black wire of the USB cable to the gold border on the circuit board.

Plug in the USB cable. The Nook should boot.

I've tried just stealing the 5V off the Nook's USB connector, but the Nook refuses to boot when both the USB and battery come up at the same time.

The ID and the thermistor circuits don't seem to be that necessary.
[Nook Touch General] Feuerbard:
i have same DOA device (Simple Touch with Glowlight) , wont power on , green led on usb charger or pc usb cable , quickly reappeared 3630 omap device in device manager when pressed power button

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
It is possible for your battery to accept current, charge and still not be able to supply any current.

This would be the case if the charge circuit is working but the discharge circuit is open.

Did you measure the battery voltage after charging?

Can you measure it with some sort of load on it?

50 to 100 ohms would be fine.

If anybody has gotten far enough to tear a battery down any identifying photos of the battery protection module would be appreciated.
