hi

i have the xda2s, that has a fault, when the battery is taken out it will not switch on for a good few hours. the power button works fine as i can turn the backlight off fine when on. i have sent the phone off to the xda repair center, but they nust have overlooked it, and sent it back with the same fault. ive been trying to get through to o2 about getting the phone replaced, as i dont want to wait the week and a half for xda repair center to fix the phone. but o2 customer services dont whant to be of any help since i dont have an o2 sim contract. i dont see why i need one, as its there phone and its faulty and still in warrenty. im leaving on a buisness trip in the next week and will be out of the country for quiet some time. so i havent realy got time to sending letters to get things sorted.

any help would be appreciated

thanks

could be some really simple. Does a red light come on (top left) when you try and charge the unit. if so i had the same problem. i was charging the unit on a slight angle (so much for ergonomic desks) must have given it a bad connection. I'm sure you have already tried this but when i happens take the battery out for a min then give it a go.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] arielc:
your right about the red light, ive just placed an order fot the xda 2s cradle,do you think that would solve the problem

when i take the battery out it takes a good few hours to switch back on, is the phone now broken at the bottom, or is it just simply a case of not useing the usb cable charger again, would that solve the problem.

i had a suspecion that it could be the charger because my xda 2s with a broken screen developed the same recently aswell.

i realy hope this isnt permanent and if it is, hope its covered under warrenty

thanks for your help

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] arielc:
ok looks like te problem was just the clip. its cracked on the side, so that not all the clip moves when you lock the battery in place. as the clip also has the power of turning the phone off, most probebly to stop a short circuit, it seems that the half that dosent move is stuck in the off postition. this can move by applying a little presure. does anyone know a way of fixing the clip or possibley getting a new one from somewere. or could it be covered under warrenty, can you think of an excuse were it could be.

thanks for all your help

Hello, has anyone tried to use the USB Jig to reset the bin counter on 4.1.2 ?

My display stopped working after some time and i need to give it for warrant.

What i've read in other threads is that the usb jig won't work on JB.

Do you think that the counter would reset if i would install a custom rom like CM10 or just use the bootloader, use the jig to reset it and then just install the samsung stock 4.1.2 firmware from sammobile?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
There is an app called triangle away

It resets your binary counter. But if u boot into custom recovery again the counter will increase again. So use this app right before you flash stock via Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] ptothej:
Phone has to be rooted for triangle away.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] sandy99707:
first install official stock rom then root it after that install triangle away.reset the counter.it shows counter 1 by default but it is actually zero again flash with stock now done counter is zero.thats it:)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
He rooted it already anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] TomyVk:
The problem is that my screen is not working and i cant see what i'm doing. Dev mode is not enable so i could do it over the pc.

I'm kinda out of options. I dont know if they will notice the counter if the gpu is broken, cause the screen is in tact.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] fayez107:
Well if you have lost your display completely then it's going to be a problem. Im still confused. You lost your Display due to Software issue or Hardware?

If software try flashing firmware. If hardware like lcd is dead.. try connecting via hdmi, wlan, samsung play etc if ONLY our phone supports it.

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] TomyVk:
Its a HW fault. Installed stock etc, nothing helped. the screen turns only sometimes on. Even while booting its off. You think HDMI will show my screen on my pc or tv so i can try to use triangle away?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] TomyVk:
Anyone able to guide me how to enable adb while in recovery mode so i have access to my screen over the PC. I've found a thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2238286

but it doesn't help me much out.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] TomyVk:
Solved

So, i've managed to use the ADB while in recovery and enable it in the settings files when the phone is booted. After that i've managed to install triangle away and reset the bin counter to 0. Dropped the stock and now going for my warranty :)

Took me some time to do that. Had a lot to read, but it was worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] ptothej:
Well done, good to know that adb can help in such cases

According to this, it does http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23951568&postcount=15

But, there are also others who say from experience of sending their device with a different country's official Rom, that it doesn't.

Depends on one's luck? :p
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:

other option

go to the samsung care center with a fake passport and show them u r going to ...... country and got updated nd come back again :banghead: :D
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] TomyVk:
It should not void it cause its original samsung firmware, but i'd suggest to get back to the stock of your country.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] parth.chandak02:
Hello guys, please forgive me if any of this has caused the slightest troubles to you

So,

i just rooted my phone a day ago and installed clockwork mod too...

i am a total newbie and don't know anything about this.... So i went searching for some custom mods for my sk17i or Xperia mini pro...

And i found one on this site http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2102979

So then i installed it from the instructions given on most of the websites... i had a kernel of 4.1.b.0.587 on the phone and i don't even know much about flashtool...

Now the rom is installed or whatever it is but the UI has completely changed and it's not like the pics on the site... It's just completely black... And the worse part is that i can't even access my settings menu on the phone... So now i am blocked from doing anything... i cant even start usb debugging and take off the root....

please tell me some roms for the phone or any other way this can be undone...

Oh and btw i also tried installing some roms from http://get.cm/?device=mango because i thought cyanogen is pretty famous...

But none of them gets installed... and i even tried placing them as updates but no luck :crying::crying:

please help... thank you so much
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Simply try reflashing the stock rom .ftf ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Borak17:
Did u follow the instruction correctly?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmm...if i understand your problem correctly, you ROOT and install CWM on you Mango, then you flash custom mods...problem appears after flashing custom mods right????

Hmmm....okey, for you info, those custom mods are for CM10 Roms ONLY and i believe you haven't flash CM10 Roms FIRST before you flash those mods...you can't use those mods on STOCK ROM (GB and ICS)...its designed for JB rom only....No wonder your phone got black screen...you trying to flash some mods that isn't COMPATIBLE with your roms...you need to flash STOCK Roms back if you want to fixed your problem...

for you second question...did your phone BOOTLOADER is Unlock??? if is not then sorry you can't CM Roms without unlocking the Bootloader first....CM Roms mush use CUSTOM KERNEL not STOCK KERNEL and after Unlocking you Bootloader then you can flash CUSTOM KERNEL and CM Roms...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] parth.chandak02:
Thank you so much!

:victory::victory::victory: yes my bootloader was unlocked... i did the flash thingy and now my phone is as good as new... i'm kindof getting the hold of root now...

thanks alot i restored my phone safely...

just a little bit of more help...

i need the xperia legacy kernel and cm10.1 rom for jb4.2.2

i guesss you already have it... but i wasnt able to find the kernel on google...

please give me the links if possible

thanks again:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] parth.chandak02:
Thanks... saved my life!

yes you were right i did the wrong thing....:silly:

now i flashed the stock rom and now have restored it to ics 4.0.4 build 4.1.b.0.587

thanks...also if possible please let me know any link for the custom kernel for cm10 as i need to install jellybean 4.2.2 on the phone... i guess it's the legacy xperia rom...

thanks again:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
As far as I know, the kernel should be in the rom.zip (it's the boot.img). Extract it and flash it using flashtool or the fastboot tools ;)

Otherwise search for a kernel for android 4.2.2 in Dev section and flash that one. Should work too :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gladson1976:
One thing to remember is, before flashing a custom ROM or MOD, ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP.

To be on the safer side, backup every week or so and keep the last two or three backups.

umm... hi again..

I didn't brick my phone this time (actually i did for a couple of times trying to install a custom rom)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] a|\|droid_user:
Follow this Procedure..

Your phone got almost bricked,No it didnt:P, First thing before installing a custom ROM clear your system,data,cache partition..did you do that?

ok so you have CWM installed..follow this exactly

Start CWM by pressing vol down when your phone starts up,Select Mount USB Storage under mounts and storage,connect phone to pc,transfer ROM zip file to sdcard then

format /system ,/data,/cache ,now select install zip from sdcard and select your ROM zip file from sdcard

Reboot System..

You should be clear now..

Hope i helped..

Regards..

PS :Certain CM ROMS can be highly unstable so i recommend checking out the bugs and everything before you flash a CM rom..otherwise ICS is always smooth and stable..and have got a lot a lot of mdpi roms on xda..thanks to devs:D..

EDIT: if u r on a stock kernel,then unlock your bootloader by following steps at unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com then flash a custom kernel that supports JB..look over at the index thread created by predator at the dev section..

then follow my steps above..

DO NOT FLASH CUSTOM JB ROM ON STOCK ICS KERNEL.IT WONT WORK.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bejunk:
u forgot to tell it must be a stock ICS rom (as he has stock kernel) otherwise he may flash cm10.2 on it and i would be messed up 2nd time :D :D :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emanuel-op:
This is my first thread so yes, I'm a noob, but please help me.

I've read this topic and other and also posted on stackexchange, this is the begining of the story.

My phone goes into Android system recovery <3e> but wipe data or cache doesen't do the trick. Also tried to use my sd card to add a new firmwire from sammobile but it fails, from what I understand because I don't have root.

So right now I'm on Windows with Odin, also have Kies but neither seem to be able to connect with the phone. Afer reading the topic and tried something (what I understand by "If you have a 1 file .tar package, then flash it in PDA" ), this is the message from Odin.

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> I9100XWLSD_I9100CNXLSC_I9100BULS1_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

Tried to restart in every possible way and everytime it goes into recovery mode.

I don't know what to do next, so please help me. Right now I'm keeping the battery out for 30 minutes (also read about this somewhere).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
Yes, you'll need to flash a stock ROM via Odin. Click the link in my signature and follow that. My guess based on the Odin message is drivers/connection issue. In saying that, start at the start of the guide and make sure you're doing everything correctly.

I've never learned how to use it properly
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] uprightbass360:
When you look at a graphic eq you will see all of the toggles, they correspond to a frequency, from low to high (left to right). By moving a control anywhere higher than 0 you are effectively making that frequency louder. So by dragging the controls on the right you are boosting the high frequency sounds ( speach/singing/cymballs) and by dragging the ones farther to the left you are adjusting bass and mid levels. Just play with it, just be aware that by boosting the gain too high you could end up making your music/movies sound distorted. Have fun!

And a tip, put on a style of music that you listen to the most while you make changes so that you can hear the difference that your changes make.

Well in doing a little search through the forums it looks as if the developer has set poweramp to not work with 3rd party dsp.

Android has vulnerabilities. Anti virus apps will do nothing except slow your phone down. If you want to avoid vulnerabilities, don't download cracked apps, and only download from Google play store, or another trusted source, like f-droid. As long as you do this, you'll be very safe.

[Security Discussion] outpost31:
why not

As a very computer savvy 'dude', I would say that some of the free security apps are not such a bad thing to install. Linux is very good, however it is open source which means every update that comes out is because a bunch of people found vulnerabilities in the code, so it needs to be patched. I am a Net +, Security +, and Certified Ethical Hacker certified (although the Ethical is usually "X"ed out ;) )) but many in my 'field' run some type of AV --even on their home linux computer, not just the droid. heck, most of us password secure our phones. we are pretty paranoid as a rule of thumb, but it certainly only adds a level of confidence that you are protected.

Like I said, their are plenty of good freeware, just google it, and try em out!!
