[Moto X Q&A] biggy238:
I Unplugged and ran my XT1053 all day as usual. Went to plug it in for the night and found that the ground pin was folded over.

I immediately started trying to backup photos to google, but the phone died not long thereafter. I did a minimal teardown and the USB port on these appears to be beyond my soldering skills.

What I would Like to do: charge the phone from another point on the board that doesn't require removing the MOBO from the frame. I'm curious about the connection for the battery. Does anyone have details on the pinout for the battery connector? I don't intend to try and score a full, unregulated charge from this, but enough to try and maybe do a backup before I send it to moto for repair. Even then, i'm not sure it's worth the $100ish fee they charge for a phone this old.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It hit me that I was over thinking this. Sorry for the Thread. Laying the phone face down, charging port nearest you, the farthest left battery ribbon contact is Positive, the farthest right is negative. After a quick check with a DVOM and inserting some needles for alligator clips to connect to, I'm charging as I type.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
Nothing you can do without a pc.

Hopefully you'll be able to use adb when you can connect, then you could add a launcher back on.

If not you'll have to restore the whole fireos 5.1.1 ROM

İ will find pc , but it has no internet connection.

İ need to download files via mobile. (Adb fastboot drivers, stock rom. What elsr i need to download?) The best way is restore whole os i think.

But i never used adb and fastboot commands :D

Hi everyone,

Today my phone mi4w did not boot so I tried to use test points method to fastboot a ROM it was successful but after starting there was no display but in Mi PC suite it is Showing connected, Can anyone help Me?
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sushd99:
I assume you had tried other methods (nandroid, fastboot etc) before opting for test point method.

That means you know your device is booting, right?

1) connect your device to pc and check device manager for new devices

2) Try flashing fastboot rom again and see

3) Turn off your device and put it to charge and see charging icon is displayed

If all this fails and you are sure device is booting but display is blank then it might be a display problem.

Make sure you assembled back properly without disturbing display

Yup i tried it i just want to know which is display connection
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] farhan.ahmed:
I was just wondering if any one could port S6 r S6 edge theme store app to our beloved note 2?

& would it work or not...?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] farhan.ahmed:
any flashable zip or apk, may be...
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] thebunnyrules:
I can't say 100% because I'm not familiar with the S6 or the app of which you speak of but it would seem to me that Theme support needs to be built into the firmware and the theme changing app itself is only the front end of that whole system (kind of like the steering wheel, pedals and dashboard in car allow you to drive and operate it but are only a small part of it). Transposing the Theme app alone into a Note 2 firmware which has no theme support would be like taking that steering wheel out, sticking it on a couch and hoping the couch would take you places. :D

I can totally understand why you'd want Theme support though... Samsung's Note II UI is mind numbingly ugly. I have NII as well and am still on root stock FW as well. I personally don't want to flash a 3rd party rom. I've swapped out most of the samsung apps for more modern looking ones to refresh UI a bit (ADW launcher with marshmallow theme, google messenger/photos/calendar/chrome, k9 open source email client with daytime theme, true phone for dialer and contacts, VLC for video, PowerAmp with White Plastic theme for music, Clock L/Camera M from app store etc). 80% of the UI looks really good now: flat, bright and modern. The only holdouts are the notification menu, the system dialog boxes, the part of the dialer that actually makes the phone calls and the system preference app. I'm actually seriously considering decompiling these apks and modding the UI to make it look like Marshmallow or Lolli. I'd probably post them if I do. I'm still on 4.1.2 though and I don't know how many people are still on JB for the note 2.

If you decide to install 3rd party apps to modernize your phone, be sure to read very carefully the permission section (especially the Misc part) before installing them. The fewer permissions they need the better. If an application is asking you for a permission that doesn't make sense for it, install something else. I would highly recommend a firewall to block internet access to apps that have no business going on the net (like camera, dialer, contacts, clock, launcher etc). DroidWall is an excellent firewall, bit of a pain in the ass to setup initially but totally worth it.

[Fire TV General] lightykd:
I'm sure we all have ideas on how the Fire TV can be improved upon. We can share those thoughts here. For the past few minutes I keep thinking about how the Fire TV remote would be a good place to start. A power button for your TV, IR pointer, volume and channel buttons would be nice. Also, a shuffling of buttons to make the remote gaming friendly would work wonders. It could all be done in a way that doesn't ruin the overall simplicity of the remote. I'll be more than happy to post a drawing if anyone is interested.

hi everybody..

i've got a serious problem..

here's the story..

i was trying to upgrade to the touch v7 by mr. gullum.

after downgrading my prophet to the no vendor id rom, i upgraded my device to the touch v7.

next i tried to hard reset my prophet, realised that i can't do it cuz my camera button is not working.

went to a phone repair shop and fixed the button..the solder was..loose? i mean, the thing was unconnected from the pcb.

fixed it and tried to hard reset again.

black screen of hard reset appeared, but when i released the comm button, it went straight to the white screen showing os ver and ipl, spl ver.

tried to hard reset again and failed, it entered the white screen where we can restore rom dumps..i immediately pressed the comm button and camera button again..and it started formatting the bnfs..thing?

:eek:

still can't do hard reset, tried to flash the no vendor id again, and this is the problem..i get stuck on 95% and after that it jumps to 100% straight away.

tried to flash gullum's touch v7 but i got the message that no device detected...tried pv 5.0.0.0.5b, pv 4.00.0.6, nanoscopic all with same result...

:( anyone can help?

oh maybe this will help:

when i tried to flash the no vendor id again, what shows up is this..(see attachment) the from image version is blank..

on the 95% where i get stuck, the progress bar on my device turns red as when it happens on the 80%.

thank you, everybody...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
In my experience, what you describe is very normal . The RUU seems to stop at 80% and again at 95%. So far nothing out of the ordinairy.

But after that the device should start up and reconnect with ActiveSync. When it tries to pair choose "connect without setting up your device" (or something like that, I'm translating from dutch). After that, it should be no problem to run Upgrade.bat from the WM6 ROM of your choice.

For more detailed describtion, read the upgrade guide.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] P4k1t0:
try any of this roms (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=316062)... maybe you have spl 3.08???
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] :
it's not that..

hi there,

it's not that usual mistake people make..i think i've screwed my hardware too..:(

now, my previous problem was unable to hard reset because my camera button was not working..the solder was loose..

i've soldered it and the problem was after every succesful attempt to flash 'no vendor id' rom, it resets and goes to bootloader screen again (tricolor screen)..

late last nite, i tried to hard reset after succesful flash of 'no vendor id' rom (after it resets and enters the bootloader screen)..i succeeded to get into the black screen of hard reset but when i released the comm button, it went straight into the htc white screen without me being able to press any button at all..

everything went well though, and it went to the 'tap screen to set up your device'..at this point i tried to flash the 'nanoscopic' rom (last rom i use before i messed up this phone)..it went well!

after succesful attempt, i tried to hard reset again (no luck again), but after the htc screen shows up, the nanoscopic splash screen appeared!!!

whew, i thought i had my phone fixed already, but when i did a clear storage, it resets and enters into bootloader screen again! :eek: i tried soft reset via software and via manual way, and it enters the bootloader screen everytime!:eek:

now, i've fiddled some more and i now realise that just by pressing the comm button and doing soft reset can make me go into the bootloader screen..i'm guessing that the technician at the phone shop soldered wrongly...and now my comm button works as camera button too..

i think he accidentaly soldered some other button too to the comm button and that's why i always get into the htc white screen after i release the comm button in the black screen of hard reset..

i'm going to go back to the shop again after work today, but i'm still confused about the way my device enters bootloader after every reset (hard reset and soft reset)..:confused:

a friend gave an opinion that maybe, like in desktop, (there's the bios then there's the operating system), the 'bios' of my device is ****ed up?

any help greatly appreciated!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] :
another possibility

another possibility is that my camera button is always pressed and therefore i need only press comm button and soft reset to get into hard reset screen?

i'm gonna check after work today..
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
It lookslike something is screwed-up... And I agree with you that the cam-buttonis most likely... Succes anyway:(
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] hma4:
i think your camera button connection is short (always pressed down) if you get to hard reset screen by only pressing the comm manager button.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] :
hmm...

too bad..yesterday the technician was out of tow..think i'll go there again this afternoon after work..

wish me luck..

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Thermaltake868:
I got some old Galaxy Player 5.0 model yp-gb70cw from my friend, and it's not turning On at all. I tried all kind of button combinations after phone was chargered for 3 hours (while charging there were no light indicator that it's getting any power). I even open him up and disconnect the battery and hold power button for minute and reconnect battery but still no life in that phone. Anyone got any idea what can problem be or what to do, I was planning to buy that micro usb jig, maybe that could bring him alive...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Thermaltake868:

A similar thing happened to my son's player a few months ago. He got an old 500mA usb charger, connected his player with the samsung cord and let it charge overnight. In the morning the player appeared dead. However, he unplugged the charger and held the power button for a few seconds and his player came back to life.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] yahya69:
My first question would be: Does the device really fail to boot or is the graphics chip broken, meaning that it boots but doesn't produce any output?

Since a player doesn't have any spinning parts which make noise as soon as you turn it on, it's hard to tell the difference. Can you connect it to a Linux computer and see what the kernel reports it sees? (journalctl -f or dmesg)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Thermaltake868:
On Windows I don't get any respond from him when it is connected on USB, didn't try on linux yet I mean I didn't use linux for a while forgot everything :D so you will have to tell me step by step what to do, will some live dist. work ?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] yahya69:
In principle, any distro should work, it's just about how to capture the kernel messages. You get part of it via the dmesg command, which you can issue in a terminal but to get the full picture, you have to read the system log, which is either by having a traditional syslog server running, like syslog-ng or rsyslog, or using systemd's log utility journalctl. Here, the easiest way of following the messages is by issuing the command "journalctl -f" in a terminal. Ultimately it really depends what logging facility the live distro offers.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] AEVAREX:
I have two 5.0 players that the usb port no longer works for anything. They do not charge, nor do they recognise any charger or computer.

I would say open it back up and use a multimeter/voltmeter and check the battery to see if it has any kind of charge. Chances are it does not due to a bad usb port by the sounds. If it's not taking a charge it's not going to do anything. Do the battery check and maybe I can help you from there if your willing to frankenstien your player.

By the way I still use both my 5.0 players all the time. Just had to rig them up so they could take a charge. Thay still work fine aside from not having usb capabilites.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Thermaltake868:
Okay, how to test that battery on multimeter it has 3 pins and they are kind of sucked inside of that plastic if I remember correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] AEVAREX:
the plastic tab that holds the battery pulls straight up. Use a fine tiped multimeter set on DC voltage and touch the probes to the two outer pins of the battery. If your multimeter is digital you will get a reading even if positive and negative are wrong, it will just read in the negative if backwards. If your meter is old school needle and you have the poles swapped you will see the needle go backwards, in which case just reverse the probes. This is all provided there is at least a small charge remaining in the battery. Positive wires are usually red, negative usually black but can also be blue, green or brown. I will look for my photo's of the 5.0 innards a little later on tonight for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] AEVAREX:
If I remember correctly you need more then 3.2 volts for your player to boot up if it's going to.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Thermaltake868:
I measure 4.070V but phone is still dead, won't power up.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] AEVAREX:
yahya69 may be right, maybe the graphics chip is bad. Maybe the screen is shot. IDK. Make sure you are using an official samsung USB cable to connect.
