[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uzair Aziz Suria:
Hi,

I have HTC Desire HD on which PACman rom (after a use of aprox. 1 year) was installed. It worked great for another year, but then it stated going back to the startup screen, and would kind of reboot it self again and again. Initially ocuurence of this problem was less frequent, but it gradually increased, so I decided to get it repaired.

I gave the Desire HD at a shop to get it repaired, but they were unsuccessful, and returned it. When I brought it home and tried to power it up, I always get startup screen with HTC Logo, and get stuck at it.

The problem is I am not sure what the people at the shop had done. May be they have somehow deleted the installed rom?:confused: and maybe unrooted it? I've got no way contact them.

I can't go to recovery mode. I press and hold the volume down button, and then tap the power button, and kept pressing the volume down button about half a minute, but the result is always same that I get stuck at startup screen. I even tried pressing and holding volume down button, and back button(touchscreen button), and then tapping the power button but to no avail.

Any Help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Uzair Aziz Suria.

try flashing a new RUU, you will need to get into fastboot to that since your phone isnt booting. here is what you can do

take out the phone battery

put it in and first press volume down button and then the power button untill you go in fastboot mode, if you are not able to do that, there is very little chance to revive ur phone,dnt release any key untill u see fastboot screen. let me know if u are able to get into fastboot and i will let know what to do next. thaanx
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uzair Aziz Suria:
Thanks a lot, I did get to the fast boot screen. I don't know what I was doing wrong because as I wrote earlier, I did the same procedure to get to the fast boot

except that I would release the power key after tapping it, maybe thats why I couldn't get to the fastboot screen.

Again THANKS a LOT

Regards,

Uzair
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adilrenzu:
good to hear tht now do yu know what to do next.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uzair Aziz Suria:
I have installed a rom before, but right now I want to be careful, so that I don't do any thing foolish and brick my phone permenantly. Please find an image of my bootscreen in the attchment for futher info.

One thing I noticed on the boot screen, the device, sometimes, vibrates 5 or 7 times, and then nothing happens. And one time it it vibrated only once and then the HTC logo screen would come up, and I got stuck there again.

Regards,

Uzair
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adilrenzu:
sorry for the late reply actually i was a bit busy

now regarding ur issue, vibrating 5 or 7 times means that ur phone bootloader has been messed. the best way around will be to flash a stock ruu, You can download the RUU from here, download and the run the RUU on your computer and follow the instructions, hopefully your phone will be ok again

http://goo.im/ruu/RUU_Ace_Sense30_S...60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uzair Aziz Suria:
I downloaded the RUU and ran it on my PC, but it said that I have battery less than 30%, I recharged it for 4.5 hrs then tried again and got the same result. What should I do now?:confused:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adilrenzu:
I had this in my mind but wasnt completely sure, ur main problem is the battery, u will have to change ur battery once your phone is ok again.

tell me did u keep it on charge while it was off or while it was on?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uzair Aziz Suria:
I charged it while it was off. When it is on, after 5-10 mins it gets really hot so i decided that I should charge it while in is powered off.

Regards,

Uzair Suria
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adilrenzu:
after u finished charging did it show green light or still the orange light
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uzair Aziz Suria:
orange light
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adilrenzu:
THT means ur phone isnt charging and ur phone needs to charge, do one thing take out the battery, put it in, plug the charger dnt turn on ur phone let ur phone charge wait until the light turns green and run the RUU
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uzair Aziz Suria:
OK thanks. I'll reply later then, whether I am successful or not.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uzair Aziz Suria:
OK I Kept my phone on charge for about 18hrs but still couldn't get green light, it was orange, and when the charger was removed, the orange light was still lit(not blinking but stable). So when I tried to power it up, nothing happened, even HTC logo didn't came up, there was just an orange light. Then I remove the battery, and inserted it again, the orange light was gone and I could access fastboot screen again, but RUU installer still said that battery was less than 30% charged, so I guess i'll have to buy another battery.

Thanks for your Help and Time. Will post any new development as soon as I get time to buy a new battery.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frostyeo:
Hi guys! Just got this baby today and battery is dying soon! Just wondering if you guys let it charge overnight for 8 hours on the first charge:confused:?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veeman:
It'll take 3 or 4 charge cycles to reach full capacity. And by soon, how many hours of screen on time are you talking about?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frostyeo:
Well I was just asking if you guys charge it straight for 8 hours on it's first charge lol :X
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] issak42:
Electronics inside stops charging once the battery is full. You can leave it on forever it won't make a difference.

You can charge it while turned off (maybe one or 2% more will go in) but other than that don't worry about it.

But yes, first couple of cycles are aweful, use it for a week or two, then the true battery capacity will reveal itself.

Also you might wanna discharge it to auto-shutdown and charge it up to 100% uninterrupted for best results.

To answer your question quickly: no, I only charge new devices until they're full unless I leave them overnight.

If you do some math: 4325mAh battery being charged at rate 2A (that's the official charger right?) theoretically it should take 2h10m to fully charge the battery. Of course there are losses and everything but it shouldnt take more then 3 hours.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veeman:
I just leave it on the charger overnight. Anywhere from 6-10 hours.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ACardAttack:
I switched from iphone to android and wanted to load my videos to my phone. I dragged and dropped my videos onto the camera roll, when I did this it asked to convert them so I said yes. I do still have the original files. I am on Galaxy S4, but figured it was more of an android thing than a Galaxy thing. Here is a pic to what it looks like

http://i.imgur.com/nKW4nce.png

This is what it looks like, I do know the GS4's screen is bigger, but the size of the video on my GS4 is smaller than what it looked like on the iphone, so it clearly did get shrunk

The iphone video file is .mov and the phone converts it to .wmv
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] oscarthegrouch:
You didn't mention what kind of computer you were using our if you were using a program to copy over the files. If it asked to convert the videos, would it still copy if you said no? I would think all you need to do is copy the files from the iPhone to the computer then from there to the phone. I can understand you needing a program to get them off the iPhone to the computer but you shouldn't need one to go from computer to android. Need more information in order to give better advice or instructions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ACardAttack:
I'm on Windows 8 and no program. When I drag the files into the camera folder on the galaxy it asks to convert them. If I say no, the files copy, but they don't play.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] apexcell:
What program are you using to play them?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] oscarthegrouch:
I don't know anything about windows 8. Another slower copying method is using airdroid app on the phone. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid

You connect your phone to your home Wi-Fi network. Fire up airdroid. Enter the URL it tells you into your PC browser. Then you can just copy files that way without anything tampering with the files.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] luigi311:
That won't work the problem is that the native media player for the s4 doesn't support mov videos. When u do the transfer select no then download MX player as the person before said and load it up and when it ask u tell it to always open in MX player
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] oscarthegrouch:
I would imagine that airdroid didn't care about the file type. I also thought that the iPhone recorded in m4a file format, which is just another name for mp4 encoding. Not to be confused with avi divx mp4. The videos I made on my 4s looked like cack on other hardware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] luigi311:
Nah all iphones record in mov I figured that out when I had to burn a lot of videos into a DVD for someone. The reason y the 4s videos look good on that phone is because of the screen resolution. Think about it. The ps2 had amazing graphics on a old TV but when u hook it up to a full HD TV its not as good unless upscale the game.

I'm having a problem with video playback in general on my Lenovo A820 with Android 4.1.2. All video plays back slowly, video & audio seem to stay synced, it's just very very slow. This happens in Hulu, Netflix, Bloomberg, any app that plays streaming video. I haven't tried any locally stored video yet.

The problem is occurring on both the stock rom (with CWM recovery) and on a custom rom.

I've recorded a video of it in action.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kelltech:
Ok maybe this is a dumb question and maybe not, but it will expose how noob I am here. I apologize in advance if this post is just a waste of space...

I keep reading how some model or another of the Galaxy S line and the SK4G are virtually the same phone. If this is the case, why wouldn't a custom rom for the S work for us? I saw a Galaxy S i9000 with CM10.1.2 which if I'm not mistaken is JB. Of course that phone may differ greatly from our SK's but still, the i9000 isn't that much better of a device.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xWolf13:
The reason is because we don't have a fully working kernel.. The specs are fairly different between the S and the SK4G. I have a phone on the Galaxy Line called the Galaxy S Blaze and I am able to flash Galaxy Exhilarate ROMs because the specs aren't that different. I know some devs tried to port CM7 to this device using and modifying a kernel that was used for the S4G. Sadly it died.. No one finished it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonkeyDuck:
Hi All,

I thought I’d share this as I’ve been pulling my hair out with trying to find answers to this, and sending it to old Sammy was the next option.

After trying everything on every forum, trying the QPST method, trying to use someone else's efs folder (which changed the serial as well) and every other complicated as hell method everyone had suggested, nothing worked expect his which I’ve not found mentioned anywhere as a solution to this (or any other) problem

In the Samsung Kies application under "Tools" there is "Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation,"

With your device unplugged (it will say not available for this model if its plugged in, don't plug it in until it tells you to when in download mode) select this and run the what it tells you to do,

After this is finished you will have a completely fresh install of the latest officially released firmware (for your original build eg. carrier branded) with original serial number and imei number :laugh:

It’s really silly how simple this is yet has not been mentioned or attempted by anyone else, or if it has, not mentioned by anyone else.

I crap you not…

Thanks,

[edit:] just as a note, I got into this problem by not backing up the efs, the world would be a much nicer place if everyone just backed up their efs :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
This has been posted before and does not work in many cases .

Although the method can be useful to restore to original firmware .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Yes, flashing a stock rom will sometimes fix the problem of the efs folder not being mounted or read. It won't fix a corrupt partition or damaged files.

The stock rom you flashed didn't contain any efs data so it isn't any substitute for a backup, you were very lucky it worked.

Same problem

hello guys,

Well I'm to tell the story of how my aunt damaged apparently her phone

At first the phone is a samsung galaxy S3 from movistar (locked), and she bought a freaking iphone 5 to give the S3 to his husband and there it starts the problem he's in another company so she goes to a store to unlock the phone, the guys on the store supposedly unlocked the phone. So when she arrives home, she puts the sim into the phone and SORPRISE it says emergency calls only and not registered in network. After a week she calls me and hands me over the phone.

My surprise was when I put it in recovery mode, it says flash count 3, and then i did all these terrible things with thephone.

1) Flash it to a stock movistar rom 4.1.2.

2) Sorprise the IMEI sayd null.

3) Searching in the web, found the ariza patch, and I patched it without saving the efs (big mistake).

4) The phone imei's became 0049.

5) So I flash it back to the rom they put in the store and the imei went back I make sure it was the one on the back of the phone.

6) I still stuck in the emergency call not registered in the network thing.

7) Now I rooted the phone erased the whole content of the efs directory (this time with a back up).

8) Did the tutorial thing with samsung kies and I'm back with the movistar rom with the 0049 IMEI.

I don't what to do at this point besides going to samsung and send it to repair I really hope they can fix it at a low price.

Sorry for my english, I'm trying to improve it.

Best Regards
