Hi again

Good to know a change of battery is possible. I've given up now....My other half is gonna take the phone to a IT/gizmo wizard bloke who does repairs on gizmos and maybe he can fix it. The Vodafone guy had little idea but we were told something about a flash that might give it enough of a boost to enable a fastboot to work???

If that doesn't work I'll stick to my bonny wee Desire C for the moment.

Thanks for your help. I'll post the outcome of the rejuvenation or demise of my HTC One X.

Has your HTC One X gotten wet at all recently? This behaviour occurred in mine when the phone became wet. The problem was the Power Flex Cable, which can be replaced very cheaply.

hi chemistry lab.

i had had the same problem and this post helped me to solve it:

it works,when you charged you have to fresh the OS with the correct method(u can search for your case)

What do you mean by power flex cable?

The top of the phone may have dipped into the bath...bad idea to google whilst bathing especially when one is tired.
[HTC One X] de4life:
Yep... it's going to be your Power Flex Cable. It's a small ribbon that goes from the power button down to the top of the motherboard. There are small circuits on it which get damaged when they come into contact with water. It's fairly easily replaceable. I wrote a post a while ago which should help you out if you want to give a manual fix a go:

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nirdla01:
Please help me! :crying:I have already went to different forms and read several threads, but I cant find any solution. I have a Samsung Galaxy tab 2-P3110 that is completely restored to factory settings except that it is still rooted. I tried to update its OS to 4.4 manually by using CWM 6.0.2.7(which is specifically for my device), flashed it using heimdall. At first it worked out fine, booted into CWM recovery mode. But i think i have downloaded a broken OS upgrade, because when i tried to install the package it said it was aborted. After that i never tried to install it again but started to wipe every data that i can wipe, I wiped the cache, the dalvik cache, even restored it to factory settings again. Then i selected boot system now,then it goes into a boot loop in CWM recovery mode, after trying some things like booting it into download mode and pressing the power button down for minutes but it doesn't turn off still the boot loop. Then I emptied the battery, didn't touched it for a couple of days, then charged it for hours, but when i tried to press the power button it didn't boot looped into recovery mode, and it didn't boot at all, all i can see is the empty battery logo when plugged. Even tried pressing all three buttons, and pressing power+down/power+up buttons still nothing. Is my device hard bricked?:confused: Help me please!!!

Update: Tried using oneclick unbrick tool (how noobish). It occurred to me that i can't even boot my droid into download mode or even simply boot it for cryn out loud, how can my PC read it. Maybe i should try making an improvised JIG for desperate measures hahaha.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 50chickens:
i had a similar problem.. but did you try and go into recovery mode (using cwm)... press volume up and then hold power down until it switches off and then let go of power. you should see the tab 2 logo and after about 5 seconds should go to recovery mode.

volume up is the one next to the power button btw. not sure if that will let you fix it in your case (depending on you having a working recovery) but it fixed my softbrick (did a full wipe in preparation for new rom but rebooted instead of installing a new rom).
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nirdla01:
Thank you for the advice, but...

Thank you for the advice, but i have already tried that, given the title: Wont Boot, enter Recovery or Download mode. For the past few days I've been trying to accept that my device is officially bricked. Because I have read a forum about the difference between hard bricked and soft bricked, and when my device didn't enter both download or recovery mode I already knew that is a sign that it is hard bricked and that it would be hard to fix it because i cant connect it to my computer and try to force boot it manually. Now I'm feeling hopeless :( But once again thank you, because u tried to help me :good:

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneWithABeagle:
To get to the most critical point first: You obviously didn't read the OP of the ROM thread as "everything P311x Android 4.4.x" needs to flashed through TWRP (recommended recovery for OMNI) or PhilZ Touch or CWM Swipe Edition (later two are recommended for CM11). That being said and out of the way...

- "Bootlooped when attempting to get into CWM"

Well... if your tablet is plugged in to the charger the key combo to either enter recovery or download mode doesn't work. Your tablet needs to be turned off (looooooong pressing power will turn it off in case it hangs) and disconnected from the charger/USB port. Of course, needless to say that you best have 50%+ charge at least.

- "Drained battery, doesn't charge"

No idea what really went wrong in your various attempts to breathe life back into the tablet, but if you drained the battery and now it won't turn on / charge but only show you the "empty battery" sign ... the only way to resurrect the tablet would be to open it up, take out the empty battery and replace it with a charged one to flash back Stock or the correct recovery to go from there again.

I don't know from the top of my head how many cables leads the battery uses to connect to the motherboard, but I assume there are at least three of them (+5V, GND, Charge monitoring). If you can't get hold of a charged replacement battery then you may try to use the trick AdamOutler posted on his YouTube channel? XDA TV channel? some time ago. This involves the use of a resistor across the +5V/GND pins (right there where the battery connects to the motherboard) to trick the charging circuit into actually charging the battery.

However, be warned that taking apart the tablet and tinkering around with the electronics requires SOLID knowledge, otherwise it's just a recipe for disaster (seeing how you already failed reading comprehension prior to flashing a ROM).

As a last resort you may try to post a question in the General forums to try and maybe get a reply on how to get the tablet to charge back up by giving it a shot with Adam's little trick. Alternatively there might also be a way to "hot charge" the battery by connecting it to a suitable power supply for a short amount of time (restoring just a basic charge as you can't possibly fully charge the battery this way - would be way too dangerous without proper charge monitoring).

If you manage to get it back to life you well better make sure you read "everything flashing" the next time you try to flash a ROM... using the totally wrong recovery can have nasty side-effects.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:
Don't recall if it is a li-poly or lithium ion battery if it is lipo I don't suggest attempting to charge it indoors I set a fire once in a tin pan attempting to charge an rc car lipo pack. It started off normal then about 80% charge it must have finished quickly and exploded yielding a surprisingly large flame.

But if he is right and a charge on the battery will cure it watch it very very closely.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneWithABeagle:
It should be a Li-Ion battery pack.

However, "hot charging" the battery from a power supply is a dangerous task even with "just" a Li-Ion one. It shouldn't be charged for any longer than one hour tops, and depending on the amp rating of the power supply the +5V line should also be choked with a suitable current-limiting resistor to prevent too much current rushing into the cells; that could heat up the battery pack and lead to very unlovely effects like the battery going up in flames.

Like I said ... tinkering around inside the tablet, or with its battery, requires some SOLID, and SERIOUS, knowledge about electronics (i.e. Ohms law to calculate a suitable current limiting resistor value).

Anyhow, attempting Adam's trick (applying a "dummy load" resistor across +5V/GND to get the charging circuit to charge the battery) or pre-charging the battery might be the only way left to get the tablet back to operation - unless he wants to fork out some cash to obtain a replacement battery. Though, with a somewhat charged up replacement battery the "life saving" attempt should well better play out at the first attempt to at least get a recovery up and running (the tablet actually charges in TWRP, can't say for PhilZ/CWM Swipe) or have the tablet get into download mode (once connected to the PC it should draw power from the USB and leave the battery alone).

Though... on a second thought... shouldn't the tablet charge the battery with a lot less than 5V? Looking at the image of a replacement battery on Amazon it would seem the max. charge voltage is 4.2V (this may even involve a voltage divider to bring a 5V supply down a bit).
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:
Typically you can charge a battery with a slightly hotter voltage.

.8 volts isn't that bad a car can charge at 14.4 volts for a fast charge (normally 13.8 tho)

I would charge it from a 100 ma USB charger till it hit 3.7 volts but then again I'm the guy who burned up his rc car....
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nirdla01:
First of all I'm very grateful for the concern and ;) more grateful for the knowledge that u shared. i tried to remove the battery and putting it back again, guess what it did'nt work. :silly: I know I'm such a klutz for not reading all about this new OS, because i have done flashing a couple of times before with older versions that's why i felt confident in flashing this new one. I truly feel like an idiot now hahaha... Hope that it would turn on again even if only in the download mode. (Wishful thinking...)

Thank you again for the info, idea, suggestion, etc. etc.. :good:
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nirdla01:
I have a question. Do you think i accidentally destroyed my battery in my attempt to bring my tab back to life? I just drained it after reading a thread that says "drain the battery and charge it again". Is it the battery or did i just hard bricked my tab by being a complete idiot :confused:

btw isn't "Adam's trick" similar to the so called JIG method where you solder resistors/resistor to a micro USB plug? (I'm very sorry for my lack of knowledge, I'm just a medical student with a knack of tinkering with devices :)

[MENTION=5460432]BoneWithABeagle[/MENTION]: Thank you for entertaining my questions you've been a really good help in my journey to revive this piece of brick :laugh: I'm sorry for asking these silly questions, as you know I'm not that knowledgeable about electrical stuff, and I find your advice and suggestions very helpful. So here's another question :p Can I use the usb cable maybe cut the part where the plug goes into the tablet and maybe connect the wires of that cable to the wires battery directly, then plug the cable into the adapter then try to charge it?

to give you an idea I uploaded some pics :fingers-crossed: btw please view the photos in another tab to see them fully because I've put red arrows as guides.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneWithABeagle:
Not a terribly great idea for two reasons: The charger you got with the tablet will happily output up to 2.1 Amps... that's a whole lot of current and far beyond any safe attempt of trying to "hot charge" the battery to reinstate a basic charge. The other reason being the leads inside the USB cable. You cut them rather easily while stripping the outer insulation, but if you got a replacement cable in case the repair attempt works out have a crack at it.

So, while you can sacrifice the cable if you don't have anything better at hand, I highly recommend you to either use a power supply being limited to a much lower output amperage (5V @ 500<->750mA - you don't have any old phones?) or to torture Google to work out a suitable resistor to limit current from the Samsung charger (again, should be large enough to choke current down to 500<->750mA). Also be aware that a limiting resistor needs to turn quite a few Watts into heat. Layman's Estimation Formula: Volts * Amps ~= Watts. Burning away 1.35 Amps to bring it down to ~750mA ... the resistor has to turn ~6.5W into heat, and that's a lot even if it doesn't sound like much! So you need a ceramic power resistor which will get very hot to the touch (keep that away from things that easily melt). Every well-equipped electronics store should have such a such for some exchange money.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stereeo:
I cracked my screen pretty bad so i decided to replace the LCD and Digitizer. I was not careful so while i was replacing it i damaged it again (dont judge) but phone worked normally and crack was not too big so i decided to keep it like that. That was 4 months ago. Few weeks ago i cracked it bit more and screen started to work poorly. It would sometimes fail to turn on. I would just reset the phone then it would work normally. Yesterday screen didnt wanna turn on and it stayed like that. I can see all the other light working normally (light blue when i turn it on, red when i charge it etc) so i am assuming phone itself is working fine, i just need a new digitizer. I will order it soon but this leads to my actual question. When i turn the phone on and connect it to my computer it connects fine but when i try to access the files it shows that phone is completely empty. It shows no folders or files at all. I tried different computers but its the same. Anyone has a idea what could be the problems? I got some important files stuck on my phone that i need to pull out.

Hello forum,

I recently came across a Chinese edition of the Xt910, the xt910s.

I'm not a bright man and i did several stupid things without reading.

I followed this guide to try to install a new firmware on it.

I now have a dead phone, which has CustomerID (CID) error.

I have no backup whatsoever of my CID.

How screwed am i?

I should note that i found a Retail Chinese 4.1.2 instead of the 4.0.4 which the guide suggested because I CANNOT FIND IT ANYWHERE. I never got to the part where i should install the update.

P.S. When i received this phone, it had no firmware at all and was stuck at AP Fastboot mode. (Bad Flashing of EU firmware, while it was the Chinese edition XT910S).

I ran out of juice and i force charged directly the battery with a usb cable which i modified. So battery is not a problem.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. I tried searching for radio in the forum and had so many hits I didn't know where to start!

I have noticed that on some of my contacts I now have a call radio option, which contains the mobile number!

Can somebody explain to me what this is please. I cannot find any mention of it in my manual or on the O2 site.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gpstoloff:
In Outlook, each contact has many different fields in which you can place telephone numbers. One of those is the "Radio" number; scroll down on any contact display in Edit mode and you'll see that field.

If somehow that Radio number field has information in it, then the PPCPE will give you an option to "call" that Radio number ("Call Radio"), just like it will allow you to dial any other telephone number by tapping and holding on the contact name.

The term "Radio number" goes back to older days when people had separate numbers for their "car phone" and their "handheld radio phone"; the latter was the "Radio number".

Hey folks.. just after a wee bit of info here..

I recently flashed my GT-I9300 over to CM11-M5... didn't like it that much so I decided to reset the binary counter and then re-flash with a stock ROM..

Triangle away didn't reset the counter , so I used Odin and CF-Auto root, managed to get TA working and then I re-flashed to stock rom 4.1.2..

on checking over the settings I noticed that the cell number showing in the ABOUT DEVICE-STATUS-MY PHONE NUMBER was infact the number that I have had for years and that I ported over when I bought the S3, there used to be a different number showing in there (original number that was with the phone)..

so, will my warranty still be null and void even though I have reset the binary counter and have a stock rom on the phone... as surely the original phone number will be linked to the EMEI number???

hope I have made sense here.... :) , as I am an old fella and sense is something I am sadly lacking..:eek::eek:
