Trullty Dead?

so i have spent lots of time looking for this issue with my Hercules. i had beeb trying some roms and i think i bricked it, bad,

so odin can see it (gets a yellow) but;

i can not power on the device, get it into recovery OR download mode,

my pc cant get to the information on the phone (i have tried with SD in/ out SIM in /out)

the pc makes the noise when i cycle thru power, but the screen shows nothing,

i have installed Kies but it dosent see the device,

there hasnt been a good post that comfirms that my phone is now a paper weight,

but there has to be a way other than spending $40 to have it repaired (not including shipping)

USB JIG looks interesting but i cant see how that will help in this case...

to be honest this is my first time at ROMing around with a Galaxy,

previously i had an Gooapple 3G and was able to ROM around quite abit no issues with a bad brick like this i was able to save it before

but if anyone has any ideas or can confirm its a hardbrick let me know i only have a few hours between jobs to fix it and cant at night gf takes laptop to night shifts.

thanks for your time reading over if you have questions about anything please ask, i payed for the phone outright to put on Rogers so there is no warrenty anymore and Rogers wont cover repair.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] homam_france:
Oh thanks, I just noticed your comment because I thought there is no chance to get my phone alive again, I think I should try this, I have one question regarding the usb jig, is there a specific JIG for every samsung galaxy model? or it is all the same for the micro USB Samsung galaxy phones? and in this case, what is the indication that will make the device run again, is there a special software to install? or after plug this JIG I can be in the bootloader? and is there any possibility to get some of my data or contacts again? thanks for your respond regarding my phone issue.:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Jigs don't with on this device. Don't waste your time.

You need to try to odin the stock firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toyes:
This is incorrect. Jigs do in fact work. However most of the time you will be able to enter download mode without one.

I have had my skyrocket completely unresponsive to any input/button combinations. I tried my homemade jig and was able to recover via Odin. Without the jig my skyrocket would not have been repaired.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheCybertronian:
I'm still skeptical about that, I think something was amis with your situation lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
so to confirm, phone had no signs of life, if yes then this is cool, is ur homemade jig the same as the ones on ebay as users did try those w/no luck.

any instructions on making one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] homam_france:
hi toyes

just a question regarding your experience regarding this issue, do you mean it was totally unresponsive? not even yellow sign? not even vibrate by connecting the USB cable? and regarding USB JIG, is it the same with 301k resistance? or there is some modifications?

thanks a lot.:)

Read starting at post 6435 for the next page or so...

Basically I had zero response from the phone. Was playing around with the jig and buttons, put the phone down with the jig in it. Looked back 5 mins later and it was in download mode.

I do think there is something different with my device though. Ever since I got it back from JTAG it has never wanted to reboot. Selecting reboot just shuts the phone down. Every once in awhile it reboots from recovery ok, but that is about 1 in every 10 attempts. When it doesn't reboot I need to long-press the power for about 30s - 1m to get it to fire back up. I am thinking it is some type of hardware issue but not too concerned because at this point it is still 'working'.

You used the term "mobo" on your post to me. I've looked around...can't find it. Could you 'splain the term to a semi-n00b? Thanks.

So,i had an other cable cause the OEM was screwed.But Sometimes it just charging and not,and this change is fast.So it's like i put it on the charger and off very fast.But i dont experience this problem every time just sometimes for a couple of seconds.Yes,the cable is faulty but i charged my phone with it for a whole night.My qwuestion is that could it screw the battery?

How could i check my battery status/health?Are those battery health check apps useful for this?

For now i changed to another cable

yes this could just burn up the whole motherboard if you keep doing that, so use a decent cable... and the battery is highly unlikely be damaged by this...

Case name/model: Rearth Ringke Slim for Moto G (in white)

Case type: Slim, hard plastic 1 piece snap on

Needs/Niche for case: I wanted a temporary non-bulky case for my new Moto G before I decide between the official moto g bumper shell covers (out ~mid jan?) or a more robust solution like Otterbox.

Cost: G~$10 with free shipping + a decent (dry apply) screen protector included (1 count) from Amazon.

Pros:

- Case fits the Moto G like a second skin, very lightweight you barely notice it there.

- Well-made, I noticed some molding seams on the outside (faint) but none on the inside of the case - all smooth.

- All the ports (see photos below) and buttons are exposed clearly and I was able to charge and use headphones without any obstruction.

- There's 1-2? mm of clearance off the surface because of the lip of the case, so your screen isn't touching whatever surface you've put your phone face-down on.

Cons:

- While the case is easy to slide on, it was very difficult for me to take it off when I was a) worried about scratching the phone while doing it and b) worried about snapping some of the plastic off. There's no instructions included as to the proper way to slide it off, there's a video for the same model showing how to take it off from Rearth (must be a common issue) but it's for a different phone with different cutouts in the case.

- 50% of the corners are exposed (probably to allow you to uncase the phone more easily). This is the biggest con for me because in phone drops it's usually corner drops that cause screen shatter.

- It's entirely made out of hard plastic, no softer material or rubberization coating on the inside. However the case is a very snug fit so I doubt the phone would get scratched up from any sliding within the case.

Conclusion: For $10 it's a very well-made, high quality case. It feels durable (plastic doesn't feel like it's going to snap when I'm trying to pry it off) and it looks great. If all you want is scratch protection for the sides and back this will do the job and feel like next to nothing and look beautiful. If you're like me and drop your phone on occasion, you'll probably want to invest in a case that covers the corners more completely.

Thanks for your review, I should hopefully be getting mine soon from the US (dispatched on boxing day to the UK). Its a black one so ill add some pics and a lil review too.
[Moto G Accessories] cra1g321:
Thanks for the post, i have one being shipped to me too (also in UK)

I went for black, but the white does look cool :good:
[Moto G Accessories] angomy:
After having used it for a few days, I have to say that I really like it, and if I wasn't so accident-prone it would probably be the case I would be using on a daily basis. As it is, it's the case I'll be using until the Moto G official bumper shells come out.

I think you'll be pleased with it, it really is a very nice premium-feeling case. :)
[Moto G Accessories] shure2:
I got the black version and its basically the same material as the back of the new nexus 5. Its a soft touch plastic that has a real premium feel. Its obviously a premium price at 9.99£ but well worth it IMO. I'll report back with durability testa
[Moto G Accessories] n3ik:
Thanks for the review! I have the black one also, but I just ordered a white one because of its colour. After using it, does any colours rub on to the white? i.e does it get dirty quicky?
[Moto G Accessories] Acreo Aeneas:
I agree with the cons of your review. I also have a Rearth Ringke Slim for my Moto G, except mines is black. Although, I find it hard to remove the case and it feels like I have to break the case and/or the back cover to get it off. I find the back cover's lip actually seems to be the reason why it is so hard to remove the case.
[Moto G Accessories] angomy:
I usually carry it in a bag or in my inside coat pocket (the wallet? pocket inside the actual front of a coat), so I haven't seen if anything like denim would transfer. From regular use though it's still pristine, I haven't wiped it down because I don't see fingerprints on it or any visible dirt.

Guide for TW-based Custom-Roms ( Echo-Rom,...)

​

First of all is: You need a custom rom TW-based e.g. Echo, Omega, ( be sure to use the right modem to solve 4.3 TW-Based Rom`s failure of losing data-conection while screen is off)

1) go to Google Play Store and instal Tasker

2) go to Google Play Store and instal Secure Settings (Pic 1)

3) launch Secure Settings and instal Helper 1.2.3 ( Pic 2)

4) Open Tasker and create a new task e.g. "2G off" choose plugin " Secure Settings" ( Pic 3)

5) Scroll down to " LTE" and mark " toggle" and save ( Pic 4)

6) Save Task and make a second Task with the name e.g. " 2G on" with exact the same settings

7) Use my Tasker Settings and change Task form " HSDPA off" to your Task 2G off and "HSDPA on" to your Task "2G on"

Have fun.... cheers

Pic 1) Secure Settings

Pic 2) Helper Screen

Pic 3) Choose Plugin " Secure Settings"

Pic 4) Mark "toggle"
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kenn7:
i believe u got it the other way around, hdspa off --> 2G on and hdspa on --> 2G off

one question though, if i still choose to use ur task, can i use it instead of changing it?

i'm using a TW-based custom rom

thx
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] taylorhmatos:
the 2g did not work, nor the stock tw rom, not in miui. My s4 is the i9500.

It would be nice if you will do a video tutorial to it,

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ktm_91:
But so with a TW ROM is it not possible to switch 3G to 2G and vice versa? Is it only possible to deactivate data traffic? :(
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] neunzehn77:
I hope i understand your post correct... :(

The difference between CM / AOSP / AOKP and TW custom rom is, that you are able to choose directly 2G on/off ..for example:

On CM / AOSP /... you could use Tasker to switch directly without any tool ( e.g.Secure Setting ) between the different network-modes. take a look on picture 1- 3

On TW-based custom rom, you`ve only the choice to " toggle" ( with tools like Secure Setting) the network-modes. This means that you coulden`t define exactly the network-mode! You are only able to toggle the mode for example :

You are on 2G/WDMC/LTE the next "modus is "2G"... so if the task starts it will toggle from 2G to 2G/WDMC/LTE... if the SAME task runs again it will toggle from 2G/ WDMC/LTE to 2G...

You could use my " Taker settings" from first post but you have to change the task "HSDPA on" and "HSDPA off" to "toggle" like I explained it on post 13...

cheers

CM / AOSP / AOKP direct Settings to define network-mode

Toggle 2G won't work on any TW ROM unless the whole ROM was signed with test key (because Toggle2G is signed with test key, so it can't run as a system app).

LTE option in Secure Settings is available only if you are on AOSP/CM rom.

So, no go. :(
