And you need the winamp app installed on your phone; I'm a minimizer. :)

I appreciate the suggestion, but the winamp thing was only the vehicle that led to my discovery that the problems I had a few months ago connecting my phone to a computer weren't an anomaly. That experience left me with the feeling that my Linux system was somehow screwy.

Now I know that that wasn't the problem, and since I'm going to need to be able to connect reliably to a computer for adb/fastboot access as well, it motivated me to get some help figuring out why that was happening.

Cheers,

John
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salespalace:
My galaxy note recently the sometimes flickers and once it does it turns off, and when i try to turn it back on same thing happens, and always after a few tries to turn on the phone it works normally, its not always flickering but once it does its a nuisance as it the whole device is unusable and im unable to turn the device on as it freezes and shuts down again.

I do not believe its a rom issue because its happened on two different roms, asylum rom and PA ICS.

has anyone else suffered from this, and is there any solution to this?

regards,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treacherous_hawk:
yes there are a lot of them with the similar issue if you read, its asking you to replace the battery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ermeda:
Agree, had the same behaviour so I replaced my old battery with a new one all issues are gone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salespalace:
Thank you, have purchased new genuine battery from amazon, hopefully it should fix all problems

when i recive a call, (Stock or ARHD 12.1) my HTC One will randomly display different themes, look at the screenshots,

what is going on ? i did a full RUU reinstall and reflashed ARHD 12.1 still randomly displays these two different themes to answer the call

One for your phone being unlocked one for being locked
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] pitt1983:
You really did this question??
[Shield Q&A] blaxer:
Anybody have any insight into whether or not the bootloader will be locked? Since there has never been a device directly from NVIDIA before we really don't have anything to go off of, or do we?
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
It's required to ship locked as to support certain video features. But it also support 'fastboot oem unlock'. And yes, I've confirmed that it works.
[Shield Q&A] Deleted member 5103593:
So, I'm assuming this means that it will shipped locked, but the bootloader is unlockable...
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
Yes. Exactly what I'm saying.
[Shield Q&A] Evo_Shift:
Sounds as easy as Nexus devices. That would be great.
[Shield Q&A] Adanedhil:
And what about sources/binary blobs?
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
I don't have any details on that.
[Shield Q&A] lol3caring:
What key combo do you use to access the bootloader? Yes I know about adb reboot bootloader.
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
Back and Home while powering on.
[Shield Q&A] Deleted member 5103593:
Unlocked!

Guys, I just unlocked my bootloader! Here's a link for the ADB/Fastboot drivers, and I've attached below a link of what the bootloader unlock screen looks like!
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
I'll be posting details tomorrow on how to backup your most critical partitions (the ones that cannot be rebuilt if lost).

Stay tuned. :)
[Shield Q&A] Deleted member 5103593:
So is it bad that I unlocked today?
[Shield Q&A] 1wayjonny:
I am really looking forward to your update on backing up the partitions.

After we just need a custom recovery to cleanly push SU to /system.
[Shield Q&A] s0me guy:
I can't wait for SU.

With active cooling I can't wait to see how far this SOC can be pushed. :fingers-crossed:
[Shield Q&A] 1wayjonny:
For anyone that cares I was able to re-lock the bootloader but unlike a nexus this is still marked as flagged for a voided warranty.
[Shield Q&A] Gnurou:
Be aware that even backing up all critical partitions does not protect you from permanently bricking your device. I'm thinking about the bootloader partition. If you erase or modify it, Shield will just not be able to boot anymore (because it has to be signed) and you will end with a brick. So don't ever do anything that could tamper with the bootloader. There are a few other partitions that are also needed to boot and that you don't want to mess with.

Partitions like boot, system, or userdata are safe though, and that's enough for all customization needs.
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
Agreed, although I'm somehow doubtful that a signed nvflash image won't make it's way into the light, which can repair a destroyed bootloader (as well as other partitions).
[Shield Q&A] Gnurou:
I agree it would be nice, but for now there are none and it's probably safer to make no assumption about its future availability.
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
Agreed. Tomorrow I'll check if an unlocked devices allows you to write over the bootloader. I don't *think* it does. I'm not even sure if the required "safe" partitions can be written over. But anyway, still going to get the list for everyone to be safe. :)
[Shield Q&A] Gnurou:
AFAIK it does and I'm not sure you even want to risk trying this :). There is no purpose, SHIELD will not boot if the bootloader is changed even the slightest bit anyway, and if anything goes wrong before you restored the bootloader your device will become a brick.

If you want to play with fire anyway, make sure you raw-copied the partition from rooted Android first so you can restore it immediatly after.

And no matter what, don't reboot while the bootloader partition is altered!
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
I'm the technical lead for SHIELD Android. I can just reflash any of the 4 units I have. :)

I'm not playing with fire. I'm protecting you guys from playing with fire. :)
[Shield Q&A] Gnurou:
Hehe, it's a small world. I'm the guy who wrote the warning in jadengore's screenshot. ;)

Great then, I was worried to see people messing with the bootloader, but it seems like I just did not realize this was in the right hands. Let me know if I can help with anything! :highfive:
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
And everyone else gets the enjoy watching two NVIDIAns trying to protect each other from bricking their devices. ;)
[Shield Q&A] 1wayjonny:
I was watching this yesterday thinking I bet they both worked on this. The info was just to specific to be guesses, LMAO.

I helped do BETA testing for 3D vision when came out and ran bug tracking on the consumer side. I think I worked with Andrew Fear @ Nvidia back then not sure if he is still with the company.

Thanks for both your hardwork, I am enjoying my device despite the Windows 8.1 woes ;)

Cheers!
[Shield Q&A] Gnurou:
Since a few people asked for root in this thread, here is a way to obtain it using fastboot:

https://github.com/linux-shield/shield-root

It's definitely not the regular way to do this, but until we get proper recoveries that should do the trick for those few who can't wait. Unguaranteed and unsupported of course, all I can say is that it works on my retail device.

Edit: I can start a new thread for this, but would like to see a few success reports before doing so in case it turns out to be horribly broken.
[Shield Q&A] aDigitalPhantom:
root worked for me
[Shield Q&A] Evo_Shift:
Root worked for me. Thanks :)

Now I can play me some Final Fantasy Dimensions with real controls ;)
[Shield Q&A] aDigitalPhantom:
Not sure were to post this. I have a clockworkmod recovery modded and kind of sorta working.

from my testing

backups work

CWMR can see its backups.

zip flashing seems to work.

i have not tested

restoring backups

controls

home = up

no down control

nvlogo = power
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
Nice, you beat me to it! The mount points are pretty easy to find on Tegra devices (something they've done right). Although it never occurred to me to even insert an external sdcard in mine. ;)
[Shield Q&A] aDigitalPhantom:
I can't get mine to mount a external sdcard, so this is using the internal sdcard.
[Shield Q&A] rumsey:
Root worked for me. Time to mess with some input apps tomorrow.
[Shield Q&A] Gnurou:
Cool. Thanks for testing everyone.

It seems like agrabren will come with a recovery sometime soon, so I'll not advertize my rooting method more to avoid cannibalizing his efforts. And the real SHIELD nerds are reading all the posts anyway. ;)

Keep your devices safe and happy hacking.
[Shield Q&A] :
Root worked, than you very much!
[Shield Q&A] trdpatrick:
I'm now rooted as well. Thanks!

[MENTION=2826079]Gnurou[/MENTION] - Oh man... I want to so bad!

https://twitter.com/wwjoshdew/status/363390041155850240/photo/1

On the Transformer Prime, NOT ALL of your warranty is gone! You can be unlocked and send it in IF it's a HARDWARE issue and NOT a software issue. I had my NVFlash backups from my Prime and got myself out of a hard brick (and downgraded from JB to ICS, then went back to JB), so I don't care about my warranty... AS LONG AS it's still covered by hardware issues. Like if the fan dies and your Shield melts-n-dies... I'd like to know that Nvidia would KNOW that the issue was NOT caused by the bootloader being unlocked... or if they'd just tell you that they can't help and to buy a new Shield.

Oh yeah...

So you WILL STILL GET updates from NVIDIA after Unlocking your bootloader?
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
Yes.
[Shield Q&A] wwjoshdew:
You answered one part of that question... Will NVIDIA fix something that's hardware related and in NO WAY related to your bootloader being unlocked, or will they tell you to buy another Shield...

I don't know if the Warranty is void JUST FOR the Software, or the Hardware too... Like if the screen just dies, fan stops working, or something like that.
[Shield Q&A] rumsey:
I don't think he has any relation to the warranty claims department, he probably didn't give insight because he has none to offer. In my opinion, the risk is clearly spelled out before you perform the root. You give up any and all claims to warranty if your proceed.
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
Exactly. I'm not able to make *any* claims about the warranty.
[Shield Q&A] Gnurou:
This is a question to ask through an official NVIDIA channel. It would be interesting to share their answer, but I would not hope too much. It is hard to know if a chip has burnt because of a hardware defect or because you OC'd it to 3Ghz...

The scary disclaimer is here to, well, scare you. Weight what you will gain by unlocking vs. what you already have (an almost-stock Android gaming device, mind you), and decide if it is worth the risk to turn it into a batman-style belt-buckle.

Yes. You will have to re-root (not re-unlock) after the OTA though.
[Shield Q&A] Evo_Shift:
I would be concerned if there wasn't some sort of protection built into a processor to prevent ruining it from an overclock. My core 2 duo processor from like 6 years ago has this.
[Shield Q&A] Gnurou:
I chose my example poorly but hopefully you get the idea. Anyway, only an official answer from NVIDIA could definitely answer wwjoshdew's question. I suggest not to hope too much still.
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
For those who care and have been waiting, an alpha build of CWM is up in the original android development forum. :)
[Shield Q&A] :
And it works great!
[Shield Q&A] JordanKeyes:
Hey, Josh! I asked a contact at Nvidia if they had any official response to your question, and here was their response:

Which is basically saying that if you root or unlock your device, then something goes wrong that's unrelated, like a fan dying or the screen going out or something, they're not necessarily going to just turn you away flat. The legalese there just protects them from people trying to abuse the system, completely bricking the device and then demanding a new one. :D

Hope that helps!
[Shield Q&A] wwjoshdew:
Thanks Jordan! I appreciate it. And on another note, SquareTrade lets you purchase their warranty on devices you've had less than 30 days. I only had to pay 62 dollars to get warranty and accidental drop protection. So that's another "outlet"! :)

[Shield Q&A] joshua_:
Speaking in my own capacity (I do not have any knowledge of how we manage SBKs for SHIELD, nor will I be looking it up at this point) I would be surprised if it did. My understanding is that all of the SBK leaks so far have come from OEMs, not NVIDIA.

Then again, kmdm and IEF can be magicians sometimes...
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
Not all the teams were warned about letting nvflash images out in the wild. And it's known that a few have already been given out.
[Shield Q&A] eman2001:

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Rydsmith:
I've had to completely stop using the Chrome browser because it is becoming unusable. Everytime I try and use it, there will be a small little white bar on the bottom (temporarily disappears when I rotate the screen) and this causes a large amount of problems. It makes my touch about 2 cm off and I have to press BELOW where I want to.

Has anyone had this problem and been able to fix it? I thought it was my screen at first, but after going into developer options and turning on screen tracking, it's not the screen.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stringcheese166:
This started last night. My galaxy nexus is around a year and a half old. Last night the phone started not charging with any wall plug including connecting to to multiple ac and computer outlets with multiple cables. I have used a new battery too and it is not working. I tried updating my kernel and that wont work. I moved the usb pin up and still nothing. My only solace is that it will charge while turned off. But VERRRRYYYY slowly. Thanks for your help.

Edit: The battery when off does not actually charge but the charging screen gets shown
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LibertyMonger:
I had this issue recently and I believe it is due to TWRP v2.6 go back to 2.5 and see if that fixes it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidOnRoids:
I'm using TWRP 2.6 and no charging problems here. Is it a known issue on TWRP's site?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LibertyMonger:
I bet if you make a nandroid backup using TWRP 2.6 and then try to copy it to your pc it will not copy. This is how I found out TWRP 2.6 was causing USB issues. Now that I am back on 2.5 all is fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seriousia:
Nah it's not TWRP problem

I'm using 2.4 but still having exactly same problem

I guess it's charging port related problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LibertyMonger:
Just 3 days ago I couldn't get my phone to charge through USB or AC outlet, I thought it was kernel related so tried flashing other kernels and that didn't fix it. I wanted to flash back to stock to see if that fixed it but couldn't cause I wanted to keep a nandroid backup on my PC in case my sdcard got wiped, I tried all day to copy my nandroid to my PC and it would never copy more than 8mb, the small files so I finally thought to change TWRP back to 2.5 and make a new nandroid and BAM it worked and my phone started charging again. Weirder things have happened and the truth is sometimes stranger than fiction! lol

So maybe it was caused from restoring TWRP 2.6 nandroids or something related all I know is this was true in my case. May not happen to everyone but i have seen others with these same issues recently.

---------- Post added at 12:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

There is something with TWRP 2.6 that triggers it, maybe restoring a nandroid that was made with 2.6 did it. I don't know, all I know is 2.5 fixed all my issues.

---------- Post added at 12:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

So I called Google warranty to claim it to get it fixed and have the RMA all set up with a shipping label but now that I have it fixed I am not sure what to do, should I go ahead and send it anyway or not. My warranty was going to expire the next day so I caught it just in time. If I send it will it renew my warrenty? Should I send it just in case there is something wrong hardware related? I been fighting with these issues for the last 3 days but now my GNex is like new again. I can sure use some advice.

In your case may be its true but for me I'm damn sure that's my nexus's charging port is f*cked up

Climate here is killing my phone

The day before yesterday it was turning on and off by itself and made me pullout the battery from mobile

:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LibertyMonger:
I was running LiquidSmooth 2.6 and upgraded to 2.7 while running the A.S.K.P kernel at the time, like I said I thought it was kernel related then tried different kernels and it didn't work so my only other choice was to return to stock, I tried many different charging cables and I started to think it was hardware related until I tried copying my nandroid to my PC and couldn't do it. So then my only choice was to try making a new nandroid with a different recovery and then everything was back to normal. Sorry to hear your issue isn't as easy as this but maybe if someone else has the same issue as me this might help. There seems to be an issue with TWRP 2.6 and nandroids.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stringcheese166:
I am running CM 10.1 and the most recent franco build for 4.2.2 . I charged it last night all night while off and the battery went from 11% to wont even boot. So charging says it is working but is not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pecia:
change battery......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LibertyMonger:
Actually when I had my issue with charging, the same thing occurred, I could only charge when phone was turned off. I have 2 batteries with a charging dock for the spare and it was the same with both batteries. But like i said my phone is back to normal. Does anyone know if I send it back for warranty repair will it extend me a new warranty? Also since my phone is fine now, if i send it what will be their reaction if they see nothing wrong with it? Sorry don't mean to hijack your thread but you are describing the same issues I had. I hope you have the luck I had.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shansoft:
I have tried to boot into bootloader couple times before on stock settings, with nothing flash or modified.

Whenever I tried to restart, it stuck on the black screen with no LED when plugged in, and it won't turn on or boot for about 10-15 min.

I was trying to solve this issue by wiping the entire phone but still happening. Now that I have tried TWRP with ARHD 12.1, the problem still there.

I have also tried fastboot erase cache, doesn't fix this issue either.

Tried to hold Volumn down / Power button for a long time, it still doesn't do anything until 10-15 mins after.

I assume that the device is still in process and somehow is getting stuck somewhere that it doesn't listen to the input anymore until there is signal shutting the whole thing down.

Since I couldn't pull out battery on HTC One, there is no way I can verified if that is the case.

Anyone else facing the same issue?

I am kind of sick and tired of sending back and forth for RMA, which I already did for dead pixels before.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shansoft:
I found a pattern of this issue, it's seems to related to the USB connecting to a computer.

Somehow it won't let my phone shutdown properly and stuck with no screen showing.

Power button + volume won't work for about 10-15 min.

But it can boot back up after that 10-15 min normally. This is a strange issue.

It happened ever since I tried to access bootloader, but I have not change anything.
