well , i tried all kinds of roms 2003 and 2003SE and 2005 , upgrades and downgrades where succ. well first , i do not know why u want to drain the battery :shock: , And the story of stuck with the O2 screen is nothin' , it means that Rom was not installed or upgraded correctly , the only way to solve this is to enter the BOOTLOADER , plug the device in the cradle , U dont need to syncronize , and the only way to make sure that ur device is Connect to the Computer is by checking the device manager on your computer , If Windows CE USB DEVICES is found , that means that the device is connected and ready for the Flash , now Run the Upgrade and install the Rom again , it will delete the current one installed and Reinstall a new one , GOOD luck :twisted:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] OMEGA_ReD:
Its not very hard i will explain it so any1 will understand it :P(i hope)

READ CAIRFULLY!!!

For a pc with Windows 2000/XP/2003

Remove all **** you dont need: sim,sd,mmc etc.

1. Put your phone into BOOTMODE (Press Power,Softreset and the navigationbutton in the middle (between the hangup/pickup phone buttons) at the same time)

2. Put it in cradle.

3. To check if your pc has a connection goto Start->Settings->Control Screen and click the System icon. Click the Hardware tab.

Click on the Device Manager button.

Check if you find "Windows CE USB DEVICES" like Xeon said.

If you find that everything is OKE!

IF YOUR PHONE IS IN BOOTMODE IT USES A DIFFERENT DRIVER AND IT DOESNT CONNECT TO THE ACTIVE SYNC SO THATS COMPLETE NORMAL!!

SO DONT THINK IF ACTIVE SYNC ISNT CONNECTED YOUR PHONE IS DEAD!

4. If the device is found just strart the Himalaya upgrade executeble and it will find your phone and upgrade it/fix it.

5. PHONE IS FIXED!! :p

Hope i helped you all with this!

If not im sorry :oops:

FAILED UPGRADE OF XDA II

Hi there - I too was in the process of updating my XDA rom but after 30% was copied to the device it dropped out.

Now when I power on the XDA it also hangs on the O2 screen and my rom flash program cannot talk to it. I have tried taking the battery out and leaving it for an hour but this has no effect. I have tried 'hard booting' the thing by pushing stick and in reset button and holding down on/off switch, but nothing...

I cannot activesync it, have tried everything suggested on this board, to no avail.... Please, if anybody has a solution to this, I would most welcome it, as at the moment my XDA as it is, appears a miserable heap of metal... :(
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] johndope:
Ok guys i worked it out! (actually thx to omegared :P )

The solution is simply getting another computer and then entering boot m ode by pressing down the power and the soft reset combined with the dpad (round circle in the middle)

then install activesync (i used 4.0b) and run a rom image et voila!!!!

i must stress that using another computer is the key here!! (just switching usb ports on the same computer did scratch)

Here in Pakistan. I'm going to buy a 2nd hand/used Nexus 4. obviously the display, screen etc won't be NEW. But what do I have to look out the MOST for getting it. How to check :-

If the Screen is not replaced? (Touch responsiveness etc)

Battery ingenuine or heavily tampered

If the display is bad or put to bad use?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xZip-:
What you should do is get the cheapest one you can find and make sure it is covered under warranty. Then call google, tell them you got your nexus as a gift and it is not working right, and they will send you a new one. My friend did this and it worked flawlessly.

Oops. Well he had an overheating battery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusF:
The first thing you should look out for is whether the device is legit or not. You can do this by looking at the model number on the box. You can also check the kernel, model number, baseband, android version, etc via the phone's settings. All current nexus 4s should run android 4.2.2. To check the internal hardware, I would run a benchmark. If the benchmark score is close or higher than the one listed, then the device should be legitimate. As for the screen, look around the bezel for imperfections and signs of damage. The screen should be black when off, not gray or greenish. However, not as black as the actually bezels and chins. Play around with it, if its genuine it should be responsive.

Lastly, for the battery, you should try charging the device and if the device becomes warm or too hot the battery may have been changed with the wrong MaH and can be aftermarket, possibly able to do damage to your device. If it isn't hot during charging, ask to try out the phone and play games. If the battery life is acceptable, go for it.

Keep in mind that the nexus 4 tends to get hot when running intensive apps. This is normal. Try out the call quality and reception the device could have a damaged radio or speaker and such. Hope this helps.

I have played it a while and it hasn't asked to purchase.
[Ouya General] DroidXero:
For me, it let me go find a Mythril Ring, defeat the Djinn, go oggle at the Crystal a second time and then it wanted me to pay right after I stepped on the glowing platform of wonder in the Crystal room.
[Ouya General] darchur:
Thanks the monsters are to tough for me in the djinn cave not sure what to do.
[Ouya General] JLCollier2005:
FFIII is a classic JRPG, you'll need to spend time leveling up. IMO the best place to do this is in the left tower of the castle. Also make sure you get the sword on the top before going after the Djinn. For the boss in the tower, make sure to equip the sword while in battle or it's an extremely hard fight that early. The benefits will be great, though.

The reason I suggest this area to level up over the djinn cave is because there is a bed close by to sleep in. Just remember to exit the castle and save every so often.

Oh how I love the old RPG's!
[Ouya General] darchur:
Thanks I know there hard I never liked them as a kid.
[Ouya General] darchur:
How do I change jobs so I can use magic and make mages.
[Ouya General] darchur:
Never mind I got it and beat the djinn this game is awesome.
[Ouya General] DroidXero:
I had most of my characters double up on their weapons (knife + dagger/dagger+ + dagger/longsword + dagger combos), that helped. As did wandering around out in the field for a while playing with the Trolls :)

Also worth doing is battling up to the top floor of the castle's West tower to get the sword up there, as it adds an extra hit to your attack.

I'm considering a purchase, anyone know how many hours of play roughly the full version has?
[Ouya General] darchur:
Since it took me 2 hours to beat the demo a lot.
[Ouya General] JLCollier2005:
The game takes between 40 and 60 hours to beat depending on what you do, how good you are at this type of game, and how "complete" you want it to be. There is a good amount of extra content that doesn't need to be completed to beat the game, but this game does require a good amount of grinding. Only a truly hardcore JRPG fan would probably beat it in 40 hours!
[Ouya General] player911:
Final Fantasy 3 is a super long game. I'm seeing quick plays of about 60+ hours. About 100+ hours if you explore everything and do the side quests. It was originally on the SNES as a full fledged game, then remastered on the Nintendo DS with 3D characters, then released for mobile with touch controls.
[Ouya General] DroidXero:
That pretty much seals the deal for me then, I love JRPGs. Took me months to beat FF7 because I was insistent on checking out everything, collecting all the items/Materia etc. Currently playing back through it on PS3 as well, found it dirt cheap in the PSN store a while back. I do own a SNES but for some reason just can't get into 8/16Bit RPGs. To a certain extent I like my RPGs to be a bit of a graphics fest as well as an epic story.

Does the storyline of FF3 get any darker/more adult oriented at some point though? I find it all a bit happy-nicey kid friendly at the moment, and the things I liked most about 7 and 8 was that there were some real dark moments and intriguing plot twists in them.
[Ouya General] JLCollier2005:
It's been years since I played 3, and it was the original, but no I don't think it gets much darker or in depth. It was done at a time when RPG's were still rather new. I think FFIV was the first to have a dark story with intriguing plot twists. which hopefully will be heading to the OUYA as well, but FFIII is worth the playthrough either way. I'm really looking forward to it since it has been so many years!
[Ouya General] Asadullah:
All I'm saying is final fantasy 7 fpse
[Ouya General] player911:
FF3 does get pretty deep though. There is the normal world, then the dark world. All of the FF games get pretty heavy, some more then others but still good none-the-less.

I like the sprite SNES versions, personally. While the 3D versions are cool, they retain a child-like feel that is off-putting for me. The old Sprites, to me, made me feel they were older.

I tried

parted mtdblock1 print

(applies to all partition)

but it says unrecognised label and when i try to set label using parted it says I/O error for mtdblock1 (again applies to all partition)

In short

1. I have fastboot access

2. Flashed twrp, cwm, amon ra's recovery none of them boot always, some times amon ra boots but when i try to wipe, it stucks and i have to pull out the battery

3. sometimes adb shell access, though phone is stuck at boot logo while booting into recovery but can access adb shell

4. external sdcard is already there

5. while flashing system partiton, it stucks and cannot flash it. rest partiton can be flashed.

What i believe is /dev/block/mtdblock is not recognised so thats the real problem..(just a guess)

Any help is highly appreciated

fastboot erase is not successful when on stock hboot (S-on) .

After installing blackrose hboot(S-off), when i erase boot, system, recovery, userdata, erase is successful.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
unfortunetly it is looking like your system partition may be corrupt, i would attempt to format it if you can, simple way would be with 4ext recovery

If that doesnt work you can try fastboot

If that doest work (this is risky) you can try dd command

or less risky maybe mke2fs ? something like

adb shell
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p25
reboot recovery

but check that... for get system partition at the moment... think thats right but kinda having a brain_fart

if nothing above works you may need jtag... ill let you know if i think of something else though

good luck!

Edit

Just reread your post, you said erase system was successful? If so try again to flash a stock passimg.zip and see what happens, may also want to try it with stock hboot and fastboot oem lock

Once both are complete immediately boot to recovery and try to flash a known stable ROM like cm7 and gapps, if it flashes reboot right away and let it sit for like 10min or more

* Standard JB Interface

*stable
