Bricked the phone

Bricked the phone. Help

okay my phone is now bricked. I did everything as per the guide. On the last step of rebooting I clicked home > reboot > system and it kind of froze there. I thought it needs time so didn't do anything but nothing changed so held the power button to reboot which turned off the screen and it's then bricked. It's not responding the buttons.

I'm attaching the cmd window screenshot.

Kindly help me here, tell what to do. I can't have bricked phone at this moment. My heart is pounding.

My firmware is 5.0.2 stock ROW v288 (unrooted)

Following are the things that I did differently>

1. While unlocking the bootloader, I was unable to install Qualcomm USB drivers(clicking DriverInstaller64.exe didn't do anything. My OS is win7). I fired the QFil anyway and it did unlocked the boot nevertheless.

2. while renaming the file I was getting error so I went into mount again and disabled the Mount System read only. Then I renamed the file by appending .bakh. I checked even though it was giving error, the file name was actually changed.

well this thread is for anyone who uses a mac and wants to use pocket pc's till the iphone comes out ok?:D
[Off-topic] mrhighoctane:
this thread was guaranteed to fail seeing as your promoting the iPhone, when we have so many sleepless nights trying to prove they're not as good as Pocket PCs.

but seeing as i kno i'm talkin to a Mac user, i wanna ask a couple of qus lol. i'm getting one as a leaving school present :D and can u flash roms on them? are they tweakable? what limitations do they have with hardware you can put in...ie hard drives, flash drives, feature phones etc.

thanks for your time :)

basically with the iphone you can do sweet FA. not even 3rd party apps can be used, only what comes with the phone. this + low screen resolution + poor battery + No 3G means i would NEVER consider get one.

lol - i :mad: those 'hello, I'm a mac, and I'm a pc...' ads we have (in the uk at least) i hate that everything they say is backwards, and mac claim to be perfect for everyone 'out of the box'. what i love about pcs and ppcs is being able to make them work how i want

I can't believe the excuse for making it a closed system. "Third party apps will crash phone networks", I have tried to do things I shouldn't on networks and they don't crash so easy!

No 3g, why not throw in a nickel cadmium battery and make it really prehistoric?

Pocket PC has an image problem, regular people think it crashes. From my extensive use, it is very stable and any bugs normally get fixed because it is so open. IPone will be a flash in the pan. This is no ipod, there is real competition in the mobile computing market and it will not be so easy to dominate.

well, i for one am happy thats a closed system, no f*king arround so it wont get messed up. aslong it simply works its fine for me. and the thing itself is more appealing to me then the pda's, stupid windows has flaws all over the place.

how to flash on a mac?

I just moved and can not find the cords for my PC so I am having to use my wifes ibook for the next month until we move into our house.

Has anyone had any sucess flashing on a mac. I know there are tool out there to run PC programs but thought that somebody would have writen a guide but can not find it searching... Thanks for reading:)
[Off-topic] hanmin:
Hhaha.. it is like saying, "I'm happy that I do not have admins right to my PC, because I dont want to mess it", or "I'm happy that my car bonnet is locked so that I won't mess up the car". If you think you need to pay $$$$ to child-proof yourself from your own phone, go ahead. If you are on a budget, get yourself a Motorola MOTOFONE F3, it is close system.

ps: PPC phone works fine, it causes problems when people mess it up.
[Off-topic] R3PUBL1K:
Ahhhhhhhhh, here people go again - Mac this, Windows that- it like comparing a Rolls Royce to a Ford Fiesta. ;)

AFAIK most UK networks (at the moment) will not have the iPhone due to the price apple want for them £400+, lets see what happens at the time of Euro launch in late December of even early next year.

I certainly will not be purchasing one from the first edition even being a mac fan. My PPC works just fine with my Mac and my PC.
[Off-topic] OdeeanRDeathshead:
Its not about windows v mac. Its about why people can't admit that the iphone is crippled with poor features from day one. My Dopod D810 can perform every function available in the entire spectrum of mobile computing and in a fast reliable way over a 800kbs 3g hsdpa connection. Simultaneously.

I do about 250 mb of surfing a month on the phone and another 250 mb of surfing using my phone as a modem for my tablet. I don't think an iphone would be able to transfer 500 mb in a month even if I was willing to put up with the slow speed of non 3g networks.

I challenge any one to find a feature that the d810 can't perform. It is easy to find features lacking in the iphone because it has almost none. Apple are trying to sell a new software platform, and its the software that apple-ites are going to be paying $450usd on subsidy or $950USd outright for.

The iphone would have been a state of the art phone - 5 years ago.
[Off-topic] RichardKAthena:
It has less ;)

But of course, Mac users get the best of both worlds. Currently I'm using an iMac 24" for scanning, and my Ameo is hooked up to ActiveSync under XP Pro SP2; I can see the ActiveSync window, explore the device, etc, whilst I am using Mac apps, seamlessly.

Parallels in Coherence mode means I don't need to switch screens, let alone put up with a smaller window, or reboot.

IMO Mac OS X is the BEST desktop OS, and part of the stability is due to the relatively limited range of hardware that Apple has to support - they know exactly what computer it will run on, and make sure it is stable. All this "building your own PC" malarky is fine, and made a lot of sense when Apple machines were lagging seriously in the hardware stakes (1998, and I'd argue just prior to the release of Intel Macs, especially the lower end stuff like the Mac Mini) and couldn't really use the Pre-Windows '95 argument that for a newbie, the system was easier to use.

However, I also rather like Windows Mobile. The lack of integration/support drives me mad; Missing Sync only goes so far (it can't even sync the Nickname field, FFS - and that's supported in WM5 AND Apple Address Book as a default, not custom, tag). I've always found it necessary to keep a PC around for a few small tasks:

ActiveSync, and applications which need a PC to run the installer.

Running tools that do things like creating a floppy from an image for an old computer (like STs, QLs, that sort of thing)

I theoretically still can't write floppies, but that needs an older PC anyway; most of the newer ones have hardware that is utterly useless for this purpose.

Other than that, Mac does it all, and if you go by "what's in the box" for a Mac system, you get much better software - like GarageBand, iMovie HD, etc. Basically for a Mac to be useful for me, all I need to do is add Adobe Creative Suite and I'm sorted. And of course, I don't need to muck about making the colour calibration work ;)

As developers for WM, I'm sure the Mac is utterly useless to you anyway. Though many "developers" rather like the environment and tools Apple give you with every Mac system ;)
[Off-topic] RichardKAthena:
Where are you getting those prices? Apple has stated repeatedly that the iPhone has a retail price. No subsidies. The retail price is $499 or something along those lines.

Personally, I will get an iPhone if it works well as a phone. As a PDA, it lacks a keyboard and 3G connectivity. My Ameo is better.
[Off-topic] Midget_1990:
I Run OSX and Server 2003 on my PC so by no means am I a die-hard windows fan, but neither am i for Mac, they both have their perks and flaws. I do think the Iphone will be crap though xD
[Off-topic] Aero:
I agree, for some reason it does not excite me. maybe with the next update it would be better. No question though I would buy one later in a year or two after I upgraded my MBP to the new magnetized (not one of those hook models) and an easily upgradeable hard drives and a better battery design. Maybe a brighter 2nd or 3rd gen led display with quad core intel processor with a huge SSD drives :D

i heard it on the last edition of mac break weekly. Download the podcast at twit.tv
[Off-topic] RichardKAthena:
It's a rumour.

Apple has, repeatedly, said two things about iPhone:

It will be $499 and $599

It does NOT adhere to the standard subsidy model. It's not an overpriced $500 N73 with massive discounting to the operator/kickbacks from the operator.

Therefore, AT&Ts contract terms will more reflect the demand for the iPhone.

It will probably not be available without a contract. Cingular/AT&T will be banking on this device to gain them subscribers through sheer demand. The European model may well be different, but since the current suggestions from firms like iSuppli is that the BOM for the iPhone runs to a tad under $240, the 50% margin already applying and Apple's established market position means that the most likely outcome in the UK will not be a tie in to a single operator, but rather, the operators and resellers (like Carphone Warehouse) will compete on subsidising their contracts in much the same way as they currently do - for example, if you want a rubbish phone from one of the many cuthroat resellers getting £200-500 kickbacks for each contract they provide, they will give you a PS3, or a Nintendo Wii, or an iPod... you get the idea.

The iPhone UK price will most likely be around £329-£449 given our horrific taxation (and the fact that our prices INCLUDE tax at 17.5%), looking at the difference in iPods costs US/UK, and the UK market iPhone will probably be offered unlocked by default as a premium product, with the networks/resellers clamouring to offer it on their tariffs. If they they apply the same marketing model, then the iPhone would cost most users around £99-199, but it depends on what the operators reckon they can get away with.

Bear in mind that the Ameo costs £640 off contract. The Advantage is about £700. When you get it ON contract, it costs £119-400ish depending on the deal you get thanks to the network subsidy - and the stores often have a bit they can use to further reduce the price; they appear to be getting cheaper as you would expect. T-Mobile is doing well; as a result of my getting an Ameo at least four of my small network of friends have either bought or intend to buy one, partially because T-Mobile's data plans are insanely good compared to other UK networks.

Suggesting that the 8MB, non-3G iPhone is going to cost nearly as much as the Advantage off contract is insane, and probably what is known as FUD. Apple are far from stupid about the consumer market, as the success of the iPod, the growing market share of the MacBook/Pro and iMac, and utter dominance of the online music market shows.
[Off-topic] OdeeanRDeathshead:
You sure put a lot of thought into this. I think it will be sold outright at apple shops for $950. Prove me wrong in a few weeks.
[Off-topic] RichardKAthena:
Sure. $50 says that the iPhone will not be sold for $950 in Apple shops, or indeed, anywhere officially for that sort of money. eBay idiocy does not apply; stories of "an iPhone sold for $1500 on eBay" are not Apple's decision making or pricing.

Look at the iMac. Look at the MacBook.

How much is the MacBook? It's $1099. With dual-core CPUs, WiFi, Bluetooth, HD, 1GB RAM, 13.3" screen, DVD/CDRW drive.

An iMac? $999. For a 17", dual-core, etc...

An 80GB iPod is only $349.

So. If you REALLY believe that the iPhone will ever be sold, retail, for $950, then I'll be happy to take your money. However, I will have to decline if you ever tell me you have any plans for business, because you're clearly not thinking in terms of sound business models for Apple - and I'm thinking that the company with several billion dollars in the bank, no operating debt, stock at a record high, and increasing marketshare, is going to make the right choices - rather than a third-hand rumour from someone silly enough to believe it ;)

And yes, if the iPhone DOES go on sale in the Apple store for $950, I'll give YOU your $50, and despair at the stupidity of Apple's marketing department after nearly six years of them actually getting it (spectaculalrly) right for once ;)

Oh, and just to be absolutely sure, these are US$, in the US market we're talking. No popping up in 2009 saying "Hey, it's HK$950! in Asia!" *grin*.
[Off-topic] RichardKAthena:
I don't think the iPhone will be crap, I just don't think it will be compelling to anyone aufait with HTC's products. For the N95 crowd, I'm sure it will be very exciting indeed, and with good reason, but WE know that these things can be done better.

Internet in my pocket? Pah! I was doing that with my Clié UX50 in 2004 "Blogging" on the road in Canada with the built in camera. And that was "backwards" tech, IMO, there were better solutions out there. The Ameo has proper internet browsing/full net experience in a mobile phone, and frankly, in terms of that useage it's hardly moved the game on from the Universal.

And just to balance out the Mac vs. PC thing a tad more, I'm getting a new computer in the office soon at least for a little while. Apple don't make anything like it.

Dell XPS M2010. It'll be absolutely ideal for running devices like the Hasselblad H31D "on the road" at a professional level, doing presentations, and of course, entertainment (hello, my very own 20" LCD in hotel rooms!).

Windows is a secondary concern, the hardware design is extremely compelling.

Hi y'all. I have recently been trying to make a calculator app in AS. However, the app stops when I click the calculate button. I also wanted to have it notify the user the result contained in the result variable, but the setContentText doesn't want to work. Code:

setContentView(R.layout.activity_add);

final Button button4;
button4 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button4);
button4.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View v) {
TextView textView4 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView4);
EditText editText7 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText7);
EditText editText8 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText8);
String mynum1=editText7.getText().toString();
String mynum2=editText8.getText().toString();

int result = Integer.parseInt(mynum1) + Integer.parseInt(mynum2);
textView4.setText(Integer.toString(result));
textView4.setText(result);

Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(getApplicationContext())
.setContentTitle("Calculator - Calculation result:")
String content = String.valueOf(result);
.setContentText(content);
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// hide the notification after its selected
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;

notificationManager.notify(0, notification);

}
});
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_add_scrn, menu);
return true;
}

@Override

// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.

[Android Studio] alphascript:
Regarding the following code:

textView4.setText(Integer.toString(result));

textView4.setText(result);

Why you assign the value twice?

The first assignment is OK, but the second one need to removed.

The result variable is an Integer type, and when you assign Integer to TextView, it will look for a sting resource id (in the strings xml).

If the id is not found, it can throw an exception.
[Android Studio] Whats-a-username?:
Yes, but the app still crashes when the button is clicked and still doesn't want to notify me.
[Android Studio] Whats-a-username?:
Still Active Errors

1. In the setContentTitle it says" ; expected", but when ; is placed, it highlights everything.

2. "Cannot resolve method setContentText".
[Android Studio] alphascript:
Your code is incorrect.

Change you code to the following:

String content = String.valueOf(result);

Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(this)

.setContentTitle("Calculator - Calculation result:")

.setContentText(content).build();

Hi!

Every time I receive a call, the screen shuts down due to the proximity sensor.

But after I take it away from my ears, the screen doesn't light up.

This is not a sensor bug, I checked.

Can it be due to an outdated modem?

Is anyone else facing the same problem, and has anyone found a fix yet?

Dear id74em8,

TRY THIS..this should hopefully fix your issue with the proximity sensor on the phone

1. Go to Dialpad.

2. Dial *#*#7769#*#*

3. A proximity sensor calibration window will pop up.

4. Press “Start”

5. The sensor will be automatically calibrated, a message will appear “ Calibration Good”

HIT THANKS IF THIS WORKS

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tekgeekify:
It's no secret that the M8 is a bit taller than the M7, and that HTC opted to keep the power button on top for whatever reason. I mean, don't fix what isn't broken and all that but I have tiny baby hands.

I'm hoping to be able to define pressing both volume buttons at the same time (perhaps with a delay on each press to cut down on false triggers) as the lock / power button.

I don't know if two buttons could be defined as one key pressed for sure. I highly doubt it.

Things to note:

- I've looked into every conceivable app that promises such functionality

- I'm on NEO's ported Lollipop ROM (excellent work, by the way, man.)

- My baby is S-OFF (not really relevant, but who knows?)

- I did a little development before we hit gingerbread way back in the day. I used to make my HTC G1 dance. I have plenty of experience tweaking bits under the hood.

I appreciate any help you guys can spare!

Ok so i noticed a week ago that when i record a videi more then 2 minutes long, my phone freezes, and i have to remove and insert the battery to start it up again... then after i turn it on it has 10-15% battery life, and sometimes even less... (the phone freezes no matter hiw much battery i have, today i tried it again at 76%, and after the freeze it dropped ti 14%. Also another problem i noticed is that sometimes when i have low or medium battery life my phone starts to flicker and its really weird, and i noticed my battery is draining faster then usual... my phone is 2 years old now, does anyone know how to fix it ? Would a new battery fix everything ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
Maybe not everything but it sounds like good point to start with this diagnostic. Of course you can also try to factory reset your phone including internal and external SD card (backup everything first).

What can be the cause:

1. battery

2. mess in system (large amount of unnecessary cache and temp files including thumbnails)

3. faulty internal (eMMc) or external SD card

4. Damaged or dirty motherboard's and/or battery power connectors

5. Overheated bga power chip (reflowing recommended)

6. Shortcircuits in USB port

7. Faulty power button
