[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skafrenzy5iron:
Sorry that I'm a noob, but here's my question.

My wife has a Galaxy Nexus where the cameras don't work. She's lived with it, but she just cracked the screen too.

Would I be able to buy a phone off ebay with a bad ESN and replace the screen and cameras, or would this completely not work? From what I can tell, It should work, but I don't know if this would even work.

I've opened the phone up before to install the Palm Touchstone Mod, so opening up the phone wouldn't be new to me. I guess the only question would be if it would be illegal, and if the ESN is attached to the screen or cameras (stupid question, I know).

did they actually fit a camera on this phone as ive not seen one advertised anywhere can anyone help please !

The Wallaby does not include a camera. I'm not sure if you can fit an external one though, but I've not heard of this. Did the ebay ad have a photo of the Wallaby and camera? If not, then you may have been duped. :(

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pastorbob62:
I installed the HORSEMAGEDDON ROM and it worked - for the most part. But it kept giving me annoying errors about different apps that were attempting to update every time I turned it on. So I tried to restore my backup that I had made with CWM 6.0.2.8. However the backup apparently did not restore properly because it now boot loops back into CWM any time I try to start it. I get the errors:

E:Can't open cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open cache/recovery/last_log

So I tried to reflash HORSEMAGEDDON but it still loops back into the CWM recovery screen.

I have wiped everything according to the instructions on the HORSEMAGEDDON thread.

HELP!! This happened to me on another U8800-51 phone and I wound up hard bricking it trying to get back to stock.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pastorbob62:
Anybody???

Does anybody have any ideas on how I can fix this?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iheartsamsung:
Did you wipe cache/dalvik cache?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pastorbob62:
Yes. I did a wipe of data and factory reset as well.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iheartsamsung:
What I would do is get an SD card with a custom rom on it and try installing it from recovery menu
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iheartsamsung:
Obviously you have been having problems with that rom, so go with something different.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pastorbob62:
Okay. Here is what I did step by step:

1. I was on Stock 2.2.2 Froyo and flashed HORSEMAGEDDON successfully. But I had some errors related to updates since it was such an old ROM the updates were all for much newer versions of the apps tied to 4.x.x.

2. I attempted to restore my backup made with CWM 6 to return to the stock. It said it completed successfully but when I rebooted it just looped into the recovery screen with the error messages posted in my first post.

3. So I tried to reflash HORSEMAGEDDON and it said it completed successfully. But it still bootloops into recovery.

4. I can access most of the features of the recovery. I can access the pink screen and swap recovery versions. I can access my SD card from my PC when I mount it from recovery.

5. Yes, I did do full wipes with each attempt to reflash.

The ROM was not the problem. It worked and worked well other than update issues for apps. It was only after attempting to restore to stock I ran into issues.

The problem appears to be something was corrupted when I tried to restore my backup, even though it said it completed successfully.

So if I try to flash yet another custom ROM, even if I could find one I trust given all of the version issues etc., I don't think it would act any differently. But if somebody can recommend one I am all ears. Keep in mind I have a -51 phone so it will have to be for that or the PRO.

Given that, how can I get back to stock? Am I the only person who has ever had this problem? I don't believe that is the case, so somebody must know how to fix it or can point me to a procedure to repair the internal memory.

Help!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iheartsamsung:
I'm new at xda so it's not letting me post an external link. Google "bootlooping" and the first one in list is from xda, just follow the instructions
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pastorbob62:
Thanks but.....

None of the fixes on this link seem to apply to my situation.

When I said "bootloop" I may have misused the term. What happens is I power up, it goes to logo screen for about 10 seconds, shuts down and restarts to logo screen then goes into recovery after about 5 seconds. From other info that I have found it is due to a corrupt bootloader and I need to reflash the bootloader. Problem is, reflashing the bootloader i.e. CWM, does no good at all.

I am also hampered by lack of info specific to the -51 model. And I cannot find a copy of the stock ROM anywhere that is for the -51.

So essentially I am screwed. All of that said, I have found a new phone for $40.00 so all is not lost. It's a U8800 but not the -51 or PRO. I don't plan on customizing it, I'll just stick with stock. After trashing two phones even after following the advice to "BACKUP" I think enough is enough. Backing up did me no good whatsoever in both cases.

In my estimation, the culprit is CWM, or at least the versions I used.

If anybody has any advice I'm all ears.

[Sprint LG G2] unknown_owner:
Don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere but there might be a way to see if a phone is rooted by just starting it up. I was messing with my phone and I can't boot into recovery now, so I tried the manual way of holding the power and the down volume. Still erroring out so I tried to hold the power button and the up vol button to see what menu was available. Its a firmware update menu and right at the bottom is a code B40 and under that in red is the word "ROOTED". Yes my phone is rooted but I don't know if this is actually reflecting the rooted status or is it something else. I won't know until I get my phone working again without having to do a factory reset.

So if anyone that has a rooted and non-rooted Sprint G2 (might show the same for the other variants), could check their phones, it would be nice to know.

[Sprint LG G2] metapy:
If you return to stock firmware then it removes the message. Really makes sense to me, if you run the software that comes with the phone then it is supported. If you tweak the phone it is not, either you know how to return to stock or you should not have been messing with it in the first place. If there is a hardware problem the phone is still supported as they can't see the status if the hardware is broken.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tb877:
Hi,

After upgrading to KitKat 4.4.2, my screen returned to a semi-problematic state (after being somewhat helped by 4.4). After reading again through previous threads about the ever lasting screen problems, I noticed some had significant problems when their cases were folding back 180 degrees behind the N7.

Since I had the tablet it has almost never left its case. The model I bought is the following Moko : http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00E4OKXPU/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I tried removing the tablet from the case and no longer have any screen problems, and it doesn't seem to matter anymore on what surface or in what position the tablet is. From what I understand, there are multiple types of problems with the screen ; the one I had was simply low sensitivity (had to press really hard or multiple times sometimes for the device to register the touch).

So I'm asking : could it be that specific case? Could it be the magnet that provides the auto-wake function? Could it be metallic parts (?) in the case that affect grounding?

What is everyone else's mileage on this? Any screen problems with/without cases on?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anderson2:
I have the same problem and have written about it more than once on this forum without finding any fellow sufferers or suggestions. I too have a moko slim case but the problem is not case specific because I've tried other cases with no improvement.

It is device specific. I have both a nexus 7 (2012) and a nexus 7 (2013). Both are in the same model moko case. Yet the problem only occurs in the 2013 model.

What happens in my case is the following.

With the case folded back 180° the touch screen will occasionally freeze while I'm typing. I discovered that if I move the folded case flap off a few degrees, so it is separated from the other flap by half an inch or so, the touch screen unfreezes. If I immediately fold it back to the 180° position the freezing will sometimes recur which is why I think it is related.

This never happened with the 2012 device. I've tried to figure out if it was magnet related, heat related, etc. and finally gave up and just live with it.

Another thread, dealing with phantom touches in the 2013 model, mentioned being able to fix that by opening the back of the device and reseating the loose touch screen cable. I've not done that. Maybe pressure from the 180° flap against the back of the nexus is causing the problem. Don't know. It is annoying. Quality control is terrible with the 2013 model. Asus or Google should really replace all the defective units.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tb877:
I don't think its pressure-related (when the case is folded back).

There has to be an explanation as to why the case makes the screen freeze... I also suspected the magnet, but trying to put another magnet below and touching the (inclined) tablet did not reproduce the problem.

Maybe it has to do with the case's material, if static builds up on it. Maybe it's the magnet that finds itself behind the tablet as well when the case is folded back.

What other cases did you try? Did they have a magnet?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tomsen0711:
Here it's no difference if case is folded or not. Just freezed.

I cut off the magnet from the case; although it was a very small magnet it breakes the compass completely. You can test it by yourself or just look for it on youtube. Now ask yourself why the original asus case has no magnet built in...

Already sent the tablet in, they've changed screen. No improvement. Going to send it in a 2nd time, if they can't fix I'm going for refund.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tb877:
Has removing the magnet fix the freezing?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] NiteFang:
I had a case that had a magnet and the second I took my Nexus 7 out of it, it worked near perfect. It was so bad that playing a game like minecraft, I'd be looking straight forward, and I would move my right thumb up not even a noticable distance and I'd be looking straight up. I removed the case, and it works almost perfectly now. It's probably the magnet. I later got the official Nexus 7 2013 case and it's amazing.

EDIT: This is the case I had. "rooCASE Google Nexus 7 FHD 2nd Gen Tablet Dual-View Folio Case Cover - Black (with Pen Stylus) Nexus 7 2 2013 Model" on Amazon. (I can't post links yet, sorry xD)

Its a grounding issue with the touchscreen. 4.4 helps this. There is also flashible fixes from Sfhub for more fine tuning.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anderson2:
If it is a grounding issue, doesn't that make it a hardware problem requiring a hardware fix? How would software fix it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tb877:
I agree. How could a software fix a hardware issue? Well still, in 4.3 I had stuck keys, which is no longer the case in 4.4... Weird.

Besides, that might be why official cases have no magnet, no?

I've tried 3 kitkat ROMs so far (Slim, Gummy, Beanstalk) -- and Bluetooth doesn't work on any of them for me.

Every ROM I've tried, BT connects, then says "Bluetooth Share Failed" or something like that. Then loops, connecting/disconnecting.

This is with Honda HandsFreeLink. Works fine with 4.3.

Anyone know of a fix? Is it just me?

Guess I'll just have to wait ...

UPDATE: Turns out it's only the 'bluetooth sharing' (of call history, phone book, etc.) that causes 'com.android.bluetooth' to crash. Media/Audio plays through fine.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zegovernator:
Try this fix...

Hey, I assume that you tried restoring the old contact app and messaging app from stock 2.3.5 to your newer AOSP Rom. If so, it's most likely not gonna work this way with Titanium Backup. The apps from the stock rom are rely on TouchWiz that is used by Samsung on all stock roms. I'd try to flash back the old stock rom with root access, restore with Titanium Backup and back up again with another app, e.g. SMS Backup & Restore from the Play Store. In addition, you can save your restored contacts to a google account or make a vcf that you can import on any AOSP based Rom. After doing this, you can flash back your Jelly Bean Rom. Just make sure to save your all backups to external SD everytime before flashing, so that you won't lose them by flashing over another Rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lancsben:
Ok that sounds plausible, where would I get the stock rom from? I was on 2.3.5 and it was bloated with orangeware I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not. I'm thankful for your input, hopefully I'll be able to get this sorted as the phone was so wasted on that old OS.

Many thanks.

You can find most Stock Roms on SAMMOBILE.com http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9000&pcode=-1#firmware.

Just enter your carrier/country in the list to find the right one. However, you have to register at this website to download them and the roms are not pre-rooted. You have to flash them with Odin. So maybe, for making this easier try to find a already rooted Stock Rom that matches your old version and is flashable zip for installing it via CWM Recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lancsben:
Thanks again for your reply, I thought it was the phone that got rooted and all the roms were the same, I tried a stock one via ODIN last night and got stuck in a bootloop thats when I put my current rom on the device.

(PS.: Sometimes, your phone gets stuck in bootloop when flashing different android versions because the partition layout or the bootloader change between newer and older android versions. Then, its necessary to flash the same Rom twice.)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lancsben:
Where do you get pit files from do you use them together with the pda packs I use with Odin too?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zegovernator:
Usually they come along with Odin. You might search it in folder where you unzipped the Odin software. For the Galaxy S I9000, there are only three pit files available...

512.pit, 513.pit and 803.pit ... This relates to their release date:

(2010-05-12 (12th of May 2010)

2010-05-13 (13th of May 2010)

2010-08-03 (3rd of August 2010))

Actually, it doesn't matter which one of these you flash with Odin. The difference is that there are a few small changes in the size of the two system partitions. But in all versions, both partitions add up to the same amount of storage on your device. Most commonly the 512.pit is used here in Forums.
