[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] world.mega:
Hi ,

I have installed jelly bean in HTC inc 2. It was working fine for the past few months. Today i shut down the phone and tried to start it. The phone is not getting booted. When i connect my phone to the computer and check the adb devices command, it shows "<IMEI no> recovery".

i tried to give the command "adb reboot" . Command is getting passed and the phone notification light goes off. Then nothing happens. Again i checked the "adb devices" , now the phone status is offline .. <IMEI No> offline.

What's happening here? please help me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsua98:
If I were to get a new phone after my Inc2 broke I wouldn't even consider the Inc2.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] world.mega:
seriously there is no way to repair? All these days it was working fine. suddenly i switched it off and power ON, its gone.

What is that device offline means?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rguilamo:
Tried fastboot

Have you tried adb reboot bootlaoder, and check if you can see the device on fastboot? With fastboot devices...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kevicwe:
maybe bootloader is bad

Just flash a rom with RUU,try and see.it can repair your bootloader and pri etc.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] blackdress_super_user:
Have you tried a new SD card?

I would take my old one out of the phone and see if it could be read on a PC with a card reader. It should be readable...if it's not, there might be a big clue to your problem.

Either way, keep your old SD card out somewhere; if your phone is dead, at least you have the info on the card, and your pictures.

I'd look into pushing a recovery on that SD card and trying to go from there.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] c.deloss2:

It means you have a custom recovery installed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kylebrown669:
My question is how when it was a brand new phone and i have not done anything extra to it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] greekunit690:
It was probably a refurbished phone and was the completely odin restored
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kylebrown669:
Ok we'll I have verified it was a brand new phone from samsung so I know it is not refurbished
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] greekunit690:
Lol only other possible explanation is that someone from the store messed around with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kylebrown669:
We'll I was hoping to get a dev to look at the system dump and see what they find.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Agent:
It's probably some app you have installed. Don't panic. Restart the phone 5 or 6 times and see if it still appears..if it does it may just be an app messing with it. Definitely nothing to worry about unless it just annoys you.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D-meist:
I'm having a hard time distinguishing between the power button and the volume buttons by mere touch/feel. (I have the Verizon version). I keep pushing the power button when I want volume and vice versa. I use knock-knock a lot, but sometimes I don't want to have to go back to a home screen just to turn the display off. Anyone else share this frustration? I was thinking of buying some skateboard grip tape, cutting a tiny square, and placing it on the power button. Thoughts on a physical mod to the power button?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lumpysherman:
I do the same thing, gets frustrating.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bos1:
Putting a case on made it a lot easier to find the buttons, and hit the right one. Without a case I had to flip it over every time. I feel like the back location of the buttons is basically OK, but the Verizon design change made them really hard to find by touch. Having them recessed inside a case really does help though.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilDX:
have you thought about putting a little drop of epoxy glue on the power button? it would give your finger something to feel for...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prerunnerseth:
Honestly this frustrated the crud out of me at first. the TPU case does help to find the buttons in general, But after using mine for a week and a half im starting to develop muscle memory and am looking or pressing the wrong button less and less. I think a couple more weeks and it will be a non issue.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dankasfuk:
I completely agree about the home button, but you can knock knock on the status bar from anywhere to turn off (don't need to go to home screen).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trh1341:
Yo u can double tap the status bar to turn it off..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dajmanjt:
Wow bro.... seriously I have been lamenting losing the tap to turn off feature since installing Nova launcher and now you have rocked my world with this revelation lol. You deserve a thanks for that. *high five*
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D-meist:
Ah! I didn't know about the double tap on the status bar. This phone has so many cool hidden features. Thank you. I think I'm going to try that epoxy idea too. ✌

If you have nova prime, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2441027&highlight=nova shows how to re-enable the knock-knock to turn off on the screen instead of reaching for the sbar, works perfect for me.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sprint76:
Can also be done with Nova and Tasker if you already have it.

I've been looking for a way to lock the screen while in an app since I got the phone. The double tap in status bar will be huge.

Is there a list of all the shortcuts LG included somewhere? Doesn't make much sense to develop them and the not tell anyone about them.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D-meist:
I found an awesome solution for this. I've been reading a few threads about LMT launcher, so I decided to give it a try. You can get it from here. (Under settings>Set gesture input...choose #2). I setup my pie controls to swipe from the right side of the screen. In LMT settings, In PIE tab select your pie piece and then under advanced command options choose KEY and enter the number 26. Now when you press the word KEY in your pie shortcuts it'll turn off the screen. Works great!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamPro:
Yea I know what you mean OP, lots of times I am just looking for the volume button and can't tell the difference.. quite annoying

I don't want to cover up the small light ring (which Verizon made smaller) so maybe epoxy glue is best idea :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pixelens:
I wanted to give out a huge thanks to all the devs who have worked on the Skyrocket. I've used a number of ROMS over the past couple years and was glad to have a device that - through all your dedication - remained current.

Unfortunately it's time to move on - and not by choice. My phone is fried (boot loops and get a E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument) in recovery mode), my carrier won't honor the extended service warranty I purchased so for the time being I'm on a spare Nexus S until the new Nexus (Nexus 5?) comes out.

Just wanted to give a quick final shout out to everyone developing for this device.

Hi,

I found a leak of the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note III. Here is an image of it. I think they could do with some more branding

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GALAXY_RZV:
Hi,

First post here. I'm still confused although I read a lot, here, on this forum...

Recently I bought Galaxy S III Mini GT-I8190N phone from a friend of mine, but IMEI factory locked to Orange Romania. First of all I deblocked IMEI. Then flashed with the official firmware I8190NXXAMG6_I8190NVFGAMF3_ATL - Vodafone Spain (because my SIM card is from Vodafone Romania, where I live).

1) How can I unlock CSC or change it from Orange (ORO) to Vodafone (VOD or CNX) in order to make possible Kies updates? Actual CSC is MF3 (ORO) - mean Orange - although I flashed my phone with the most recently Vodafone carrier official firmware.

About rooting I read HERE - in case I'm think to flash my phone with Maclaw's CyanogenMod 10.1 20130919. So, the second question is:

2) It's possible to unroot the phone to the official firmware, in case I want to revert to it's original state? And if it's possible then how?

I would be very thankful if you can describe me, step by step, these two problems!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GALAXY_RZV:

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efaustino84:

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GALAXY_RZV:
Where on this forum it's talking about CSC deblocking?! I haven't found anything conclusive.

Again, I have read a lot, but also is a lot of dispersed informations across the forum and I'm not so skilled. Besides that I don't know wich is the right way to do something that I want to do. This is the reason that I put those questions. For those who read this thread of mine and if they are good/skilled they can guide me with a answer or a link or something.

Thank you.

1. Use csc select from play to choose from the csc's installed on your phone.

Be aware of that changing csc also makes a factory reset. BACKUP your apps and data!

1. No idea why. Never happened to me.

2. Download firmware from sammobile or samsungupdates.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GALAXY_RZV:
Firmware is taken from live.samsung-updates.com.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tys0n:
Ok, but it didn't change csc when you flashed it?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GALAXY_RZV:
Nope. CSC doesn't change when flash the phone. And I already described in first post, I flashed the firmware and CSC even didn't budge.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersh72:
csc changer app will work if you are rooted.

sometimes a hard reset after flashing stock will change to the new product code if it is not changed.

regarding the unrooting guide, the flashing procedure is the same for all variants but sure you have to download the right stock firmware for your N variant from sammobile or what else...
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GALAXY_RZV:
First of all I wish to thank you for your reply.

I already tried with hard reset soon after I flashed the phone with official firmware of spanish carrier. But nothing.

Therefore, I supposed to root the phone with ClockworkMod, run CSC selector to change my CSC, unroot back with the same ClockworkMod, after that I reflash (once again) with the same firmware? I understand correctly?

however, if you are not willing to risk trying the various solutions provided here on these forums then you won't know if it works or not
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GALAXY_RZV:
Is your opinion and I'll respect that.

But why should I experience? Just because many others do so then and I must risk to brick the phone just because others do the same?! And yes, I do not want to risk (or if I do so at least I want to minimize all the risks). I'm a newbie in this kind of problems and I want to know, to understand and to put in balance as much as possible.

What is the purpose of the forum discussions if not to provide guidance and advice for others in order that they do not make same mistakes, that for example, I did?!

... that's why I put some questions.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] pinoy69:
Ok guys, you know how you can recover or fully delete files in your PC right? You can use a program like System Mechanic. System Mechanic can also do that to an external device like a digicam or mp3 player. When I say files I'm talking about pictures, videos and multimedia stuffs. I didn't back them up. I just deleted them and of course the occassional hard reset. Now I have some questions:

1. I cannot make my XDA II show as a removable device. I put it in the cradle but it's not showing up as a removable device. I was told that you have to put it in "Storage Mode" and not in "Sync Mode". Anyone who knows how to do this? Or make it appear as a removable device?

2. Do you know of any way to recover files deleted in my xda 2? or fully delete them aside from the system mechanic program?

3. Is there a way for me to reformat my xda 2?

4. When I hard reset my phone, does it delete files permanently and has no way of recovering it?

I would appreciate answers to my questions. Thanks!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Olipro:
your PPC makes use of RAM as a hard-drive, thus when files are deleted, they are deleted, they're not flagged as overwritable by the OS as you find with a physical HDD in a PC.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
agree'd but that may not hold try for SD Cards if you just delete a file

being that sd cards have a limited number of writes before they go belly up

it would be silly to truely delete files when you delete them from the os

of cause a format should truely delete everything on the SD card
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] pinoy69:
But how come my officemate was able to recover a file in his nokia phone? He used system mechanic. It showed up on system mechanic as a removable device.

Thx for the answer but I don't get what you're saying with SD cards. You mean SanDisk card right? Can u explain more?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
SD == secure digital

and yes sandisk makes sd cards like they make pretty much all other

flavours of flash cards

not sure how logitech handle their systems internaly

one thing you could do to make sure that your pda really delete

the stuff is to get the program which makes your pda work

as a usb mass storage cntrl device in that case normal pc undelete programs should be able to access it like other volumes
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] pinoy69:
Yeah that's what I'm trying to do. I have a system mechanic program on my PC. Unfortunately, my O2 XDA II won't show up as a removable device. ANy ideas on how can I do this?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] devin:
As my first post, sorry for my bad english here. U can use softick cardexport. use googl....., and u can use as a removable device.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] pinoy69:
hhhmm..it says that it's for palm..wld it be compatible with xda 2?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] FOSA:
Yes, you can!!!

You can do it, read here:-

http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=61620
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Olipro:
that's for if you've had a piece of removable storage and the FS and/or files on the media have become corrupted (probably due to an incomplete write and bad timing) it is NOT for people who have intentionally deleted files from their card. neither is it for the PDA's on-board memory, which this guy has quite clearly killed intentionally, also mentioning that he has performed the odd hard-reset too.

secondly, just to point out a crucial aspect of your flawed logic;

if it is possible for files to remain in the memory of the PDA even after things such as a hard reset, then why is it that if you remove the battery from your PDA, then leave it in said state for about an hour (drained backup battery) the PDA will be blank after I put the battery back in?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonytheEE:
So, I've tried CM10.0 and CM 10.1 and I get the same problem a LOT.

When I hit the power button from the screen being off, the screen will stay dark. The softkeys will light up, and in actuality, the entire system still works, but the screen is basically dead. The one tried and true way I've found to restore the screen is this:

1. Take off the cover

2. Eject Battery and Replace

3. Boot into CWM recovery

4. Restart from there

5. Now the phone will show some of the screen in landscape. Hold the Power Button and select the second bar (it's reboot, but you can't see the name of the option. Luckily the selection bars are wide). Hit the Ok bar (again. can't see OK).

6. Now CM runs.

Any ideas as to what causes this and how I can prevent it? Could it be a proximity thing? Note: this does not happen to me in CM7.

Thanks,

Tony

I have already tried installing another kernel, going back to stock with odin. But even on the stock sprit rom, that still happens.

I will try the CM7 to see if works

Hello everyone!

Need help on something - all the songs on my playlist are gone after I reboot my phone. What's causing it? is it the memory card?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeroInfinity:
I've had enough of playlists randomly disappearing all the time. It's usually caused either by Music folder (Or wherever you place your music files on your sd card) being renamed/removed/moved and you can't exactly get the playlist working again.

My advice for you to prevent this from happening in the future is to manage your playlists and sync your media stuff with Sony's Media Go. It's really handy and if you lose your playlists again, you can simple resync with your phone and all your playlists are back again ;)

Hopefully you remember your playlist order, I have many playlists and it's always a pain to remember what order they went :p
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronxdude:
ZeroInfinity - thanks man! I guess I really have to know how media go works. I really am at loss how syncing works as I always do drag-n-drop my songs, plus im used to the a200 SE phones that has folder support, so I just group them per forlder.. :D i have 700 songs, and its really a pain in the S doing stuff all over again. hahaha!
[General Topics] Kindred192:
Just for some perspective, I have been in the electronics business for nearly a decade. Working with microelectronics is something I do on a daily basis.

So, imagine my disappointment when I sent a phone to Samsung for warranty service, only to have them return it with reported water damage! This is remarkable, considering the phone has never come into contact with liquid water.

Since my warranty was voided, I took apart my phone and found...no signs of water intrusion! You can find details in a document I sent off to Samsung for review at dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73830636/noteii.htm

What concerns me is that when I contacted them for assistance, all I received was an apology and request that I contact their voice support, which is notorious for being unhelpful and having no escalation procedure.

Is there a way of escalating my claim through Samsung? I would love to have this matter resolved, but I am concerned with their warranty policy.

I'm willing to bet that there are many others like me who have had phones returned with "water damage" but have actually fallen victim to Samsung trying to save a few bucks because they know that people don't have the technical expertise to dispute their claims.

If you have a story similar to mine, I'd like to hear from you. I have a feeling that this happens fairly often, and we would benefit as consumers if we can gather this information into a common knowledge base and raise the issue to Samsung directly.
