[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tikicult:
I was doing a car install of my Nexus because I wasn't really using it for anything else. I wanted a good power source so I could avoid the charging issues people were running to, so I went with a DC-DC converter instead of a cigarette lighter adapter. I used the same converter that many others have used, and dialed it in to the correct voltage output and wired it up to my USB-OTG Y cable. I plugged it into my tablet to test, and the system immediately shut down and got really, really hot. After I unplugged it and let it cool off, I was able to boot the tablet, but it no longer charged anymore from the wall socket adapter. I woke up to a dead tablet and started troubleshooting. I was tracing the power circuit and was seeing 5V everywhere except for at the battery connector. (Battery tested fine at 3.7V). After removing the metal shield inside the tablet I found this:

Needless to say, the thing is toast. I wish I knew what happened, but I don't. Everything appeared to be setup correctly. I'd like to blame the converter for being a POS, but maybe I did something wrong, who knows. Any one have any thoughts as to what could have happened?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droxid:
Not phones...but years ago I fried 2 AMD processors because I forgot to plug the fan connector to the motherboard header. :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtiangha:
Dumb question, but in addition to the voltage, were you also mindful of the current and ensuring that the power source was outputting no more than 2.0 amps? Sure, a device will only pull the current that it needs in theory, but if you don't have surge protection, then the power spike that may occur as soon as you complete the circuit could fry stuff, especially if the surge is higher than what the device is rated to handle.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tikicult:
This could have been my problem. The power supply I used was rated for 8 amps because I wanted to make sure I had enough power available for my devices on my USB hub (which also got fried in this process). I've already ordered a replacement motherboard for the nexus, but I am sticking to a regular cigarette lighter adapter this time!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtiangha:
Well, in theory it should have been fine unless there was a current spike and the converter couldn't handle it and passed the surge along. But also, was your output voltage set to 5V? A car battery spits out 12.6V or so and while there's usually some wiggle room when it comes to current, there definitely is not when it comes to voltage.

Also, what kind of converter did you use? I'd love to read up on it, just for curiosity's sake.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iolinux333:
Sad. It will be OK in a few years. I've been there. We've all been there. It's part of being a true hacker.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tikicult:
This is the converter I was using. I had it dialed into 5V according to my meter.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OT58TL4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

As an update, I ended up buying a new motherboard on ebay and switched to a cigarette lighter adapter with a max output of 4 amps. Everything is working great now! Its cool having a tablet in the car.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCivale:
So, here's my problem....

For the past 6 months I've been running multiple 4.4.2 roms on my rooted Note 3. A few days ago, my extSdCard started randomly ejecting and trying to remount. Sometimes it would be successful, sometimes not. Yes, it is a 64gb Sandisk card, but wait....there's more. I've scoured the net and tried multiple fixes:

- formatting on my computer

- formatting in the phone

- buying a new Samsung SdCard

- adding thickness to the card for better contact

- taking the phone apart to inspect the pins inside the slot

None of these things have seemed to give me a working extSdCard.

One thread I read said to run dmesg through Terminal Emulator and check the boot up log to see if it initializes, so I did that, but didn't see anything.

So I've attached two logs in hopes that someone might be able to shed some light on this. The first log is after the initial boot of the phone. The second log is after an unexpected ejection of the card. I think I caught the error in the second one, but don't know what caused it.

Any advice or expertise would be great. I'm not sure what else to do.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCivale:
Added reading.....

To add to your reading pleasure.....

log_3 is right after a remount

log_4 is directly after another ejection
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCivale:
If anyone is interested, I finally narrowed this down to a hardware problem. I was able to pick up a new logic board from iFixit. Following their teardown instructions for the Note 3, I replaced the board and now everything is back to working order. If anyone runs into this problem, I have to say that it wasn't that difficult to swap. Just have to take your time and go easy when removing the ribbon cables.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Preston2291:
I recently had to get a replacement phone sent to me from verizon. I'm on 4.4.4 I bought and used sunshine for unlock and s-off. I have flashed twrp and super su for root. I have not touched the kernel so I am still on stock kernel which has write protection. There are kernels out that have this disabled. What I'm trying to find information on is how do I flash one of these. I can't seem to find info on this. I got the original m8 on launch day and have done this months ago and I remember having to put certain things on the SD card and renaming them to something along the lines of (0BP6.img).

Is this correct. I also remember having to adb certain things to the phone. I'm just trying to avoid a brick. Any help is appreciated
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Most kernels r flashed in recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Preston2291:
So I should just be able to download a sense 4.4.4 kernel and flash in recovery then I can nandroid backup and then start flashing custom roms? I just didn't know if I was able to flash one in recovery coming from stock which is write protected without problems.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
have you tried to flash a ROM already? Cause I have been with HTC sense way way back. An I never have had this issue...I just pick a stock ROM an flash it... But you could fast boot a stock insecure boot using fast boot I guess if that's what you want to do.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Preston2291:
I haven't tried to flash a stock rom no because I wasn't sure. And I don't want to wipe system and data with a write protected kernel because I'll be screwed. Or do you mean dirty flash a stock rom with the insecure kernel? I just don't want to not have write protection removed and then wipe and soft brick because I can't write to the system with a new rom
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
If you r s-off unlocked an flashed twrp then flashed SuperSU zip. Myself I just back a backup now verify backup is there an flash a ROM...or you could flash a stock insecure kernel 1st if you want to be extra safe.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Preston2291:
Just flashed a stock insecure kernel. How is a way to test if I have write access?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Don't know. Never check has I have never had a issue ever once an have own 7+ different HTC devices.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Preston2291:
Thing is I bricked my last m8 because I flashed a stock recovery and rom to get the 4.4.4 update. And I wiped system and data to re install a rom and couldn't write to system and the phone wouldn't do anything but sit at the HTC screen because it was bricked. That's why I'm concerned with the kernel.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
You should be able to just flash pretty much any sense based rom and have what you want. Write protection is removed in all of them, or, at least in all the ones I've tried.

That said, if you've already flashed a kernel that has write protection removed, you should be able to check it by just copying any file to the system folder. A text file, picture, anything. Then reboot the phone and check to see if the file you copied to the system folder is still there. If so, you're good to go. If not, write protection is still being enforced.

Hey guys, I just ordered a replacement keypad and casing for my phone, so I'm going to be opening it up in the next few days to replace it.

So my questions is, does anyone need any high-res macros of any internal components?

I'll be shooting using a canon 5d, macro lens, and light tent, so I should be able to get some really detailed shots for you guys if you need any.

And can anyone point me in the right direction to find some instructions on how to disassemble this thing???

Thanks,

-Kai
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Hi Kai

Well since you ask and to save me the bother!!! There is something but it depends!! When you say keypad, are you talking about the front lower hard key assembly or the keyboard?

It's particularly the keyboard I'm interested in. Not just a rear photo but a breakdown of the construction. I am assuming it is the usual printed circuit combined with a conductive rubberised template beneath the keys. Essentially I would like photos (super high res. is not necessary) to cofirm construction with the aim of creating a practical fix for those that have the odd key that needs an extra firm key press.

If it's the front keypad you are replacing then of course I would not want you to de-construct your keyboard - that could create the problems that some others have with "dodgy" keys.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] invictive:
No I am only replacing the front keypad.

I could take my keyboard apart, but I am hesitant if it may cause problems. I've already got problems with my keypad, the last thing I need is to have to order a new keyboard too!

But I am willing to take the phone apart further, as long as I dont risk doing any serious damage. I have never opened up the TyTN before, but I have done work on Motorola's, Sony's and Nokia's before, with sucess, so I'm not too concerned.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] invictive:
Thanks for the links, I read the disassembly guide and it didn't look to complicated.

I have a question that you may be able to answer though... The reason I bought a new front keypad is because sometimes my buttons stick, or just dont work, no matter how hard I press them.

Now looking at the cnn.cn website I see they are selling the printed circuit board that goes below the pinpad. I have a feeling that that is probably what I need to replace, not the keypad (oh well, it was only 7.99).

I'm just wondering what your thoughts are on this and if you've ever stumbled across the issue before?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Well, i've seen a mix of hardware and software issues related to this. Of the hardware ones I have not seen anyone report back having fixed it themself.

I onder also about the connector being the culprit, though it is retained by screews. The buttons sticking and the buttons not workingg may be unrelated of course or could mean butonns are not quite in alignment with the board.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] wstwst:
I achieved S-OFF using this thread as my primary guidance after hours of research and many moments of confusion. Using a DINC 4G LTE (4.0.4 with 2.19 software) as the victim here is my newbie feedback:

1. Achieving temp-root (Manual Windows method was used to allow for as much interaction as possible)

-I did not mess with trying to revert from 2.19 to 2.17 as after confusing myself by reading too much I decided that it seems that the procedure written for 2.17 probably works for 2.19 also.

-During research and preparation I had ADB communicating. After removing HTCSync and HTC drivers and then trying to re-install HTC driver 3.0.0.023 ADB was no longer listing my device when ADB DEVICES command was run. This was corrected by completing the driver installation under VISTA's device manager for my android device.

-Running ADB RESTORE and ADB SHELL commands did not come to a normal completion. After waiting a few minutes for the command prompt to return I decided to close out the terminal window and re-run the commands. The second attempt worked without issue. Probably something I did with the cut&paste transfer of the commands to the terminal window messed up the first run.

2. Running rumrunner to obtain S-OFF

-All terminal output was normal until the following:

must sanitize, skunky rum is nasty

hold please............................................ .................

[------------------------------------------------------------]

At this point the bracketed dashes start off as bracketed astericks to form a progress bar type output. However in my case the first four astericks converted to a TTTT sequence and rumrunner presented a PRESS ENTER TO EXIT line. Without changing a thing (I did check my phone to ensure it was still S-ON) each subsequent run of rumrunner move the TTTT sequence futher down the series of dashes until succes was achieved on run number four. From there rumrunner executed without issue and came to a normal completion. My droid is now S-OFF.

Its on to learning how to backup my 4.0.4 and whether to tweak it and keep it or flash cyanogenmod....
