[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StarShoot97:
Yes, this does not work

I bought one, but it doesn't work

I will buy a used device with a broken screen and swap the motherboards, I think that's the cheapest option
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphaelgamer981:
what exactly was you trying to flash? if it was one of those pit files to install android 5 and up it should not brick your phone, maybe your bootloader is so corrupted that the only thing to save the board is using a box, also, be careful, in the s2 motherboard, there's a clock battery that leaks and can kill wifi and your board, so remove it when you get the board. mine dosen't work wifi 5ghz because of this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StarShoot97:
It was one of those storage repartitions

Alright, thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphaelgamer981:
very strange to see it happen, mine i have flashed a bunch of pit files with no issues, did you install a kernel with the pit file? what version of odin did you use? what drivers do you have?
[Touch HD General] BMW^Z4:
My HD dropped in the water. I dissembly it and let it dry for 3 days. Battery was only 30% charged. After 3 days when I switched it on it worked fine for 2 days but now it switched off and is not switching on again . I replaced battery but nothing happened. Any help ...
[Touch HD General] rhtizzy:
Normally speaking electronics would be able to handle the water if dried thoroughly and as quickly as possible (using a hairdryer is recommended) and it's the battery which dies on the spot and can actually explode. In your case tho it worked for 2 days after, so that's quite lucky.

If you haven't done it yet, there's a link in the wiki to the technical service manual which shows how to disassemble the phone to it's smallest parts. If you're up to it, you could see if there's anything turning brown\reddish. If so (or not) you could try clean everything as best possible (perhaps with some alcohol) and then try make use of your warranty...

Could very well be the powerswitch itself which is just sticking tho..
[Touch HD General] JohnQ:
so sorry for you man!
[Touch HD General] goldsfool:
That's too bad. I dunno if this will help you at this point since it's already been several days since it fell in the water, but I read that if you drop your phone in water, you should take whatever you can apart, dry them the best you can, and then submerge all of the parts in dry, uncooked rice. This is supposed to absorb all of the moisture from the parts. I actually used this technique once when my old phone fell in water and it worked perfectly.

I know this won't help you at this point, but it may help others...good luck.
[Touch HD General] AllTheWay:
Just a word of thumb to all people. Once the phone / battery has been submerged in water you need to discard the battery right away. Never use a battery that has been exposed to water again in your phone. That is how you fry a phone. I bet if you would have used another battery in your phone it might still work.
[Touch HD General] cybermaus:
Too late for BMW^Z4, but to others:

If it was dropped in dirty or especially salty water, after taking it apart, before drying it, you may want to submerge/rinse it in even more clean water. Distilled water would be even better.

Any left over residue (especially salt) will accelerate corrosion of contacts and leads and could indeed cause it too fail a few days later.
[Touch HD General] lucarp78:
Buy another one
[Touch HD General] rhtizzy:
Which is why I said:

'If so (or not) you could try clean everything as best possible (perhaps with some alcohol) and then try make use of your warranty...'

If you take it back to the store and they (HTC) see you've used it as a submersible they'll turn you down and charge you for the repairs..
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
I dropped my phone in toilet too. Was in back pocket. I heard a clunk and turned around and noticed it was my phone. I quickly removed it. Took cover, battery, sim and sd card out and dried it with tissue. Then i used those super powerful Dyson heated hand driers to dry it as much as possible. It happened Monday night and I still have not tried putting in the battery. Now I don't know if I should try the battery or just buy a new one from the posts up. I am dreading it if it does not work. I would hate to have to buy another HD as they are so expensive. I guess toilet water is not considered clean. Hope no corrosion.

A friend send I should leave it overnight in white spirit but i did not trust him.

Hoping all is well.....
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
So sorry to hear this.

In another forum, somone accidentally pour coffee on his Athena.

Some one had suggested in another forum that you bury your HD with rice as the later has the moisture absorbing property. Of course, if it is dirty, you should wash it with clean water first.

I would leave it for a few days to let any water completely evaporate before trying on.

I think there may be hope still. Let's keep our finger cross.
[Touch HD General] Georgio_77:
Great way to dissolve the remains of your phone :) Hope your friend wasn't serious.
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
Unless he meant alcohol. He said he used to do it with laptops when they were sent in to repair to him.

What do you guys think? Should I try inserting my battery in again or not even try it and just buy a brand new battery?
[Touch HD General] sschrupp:
A couple people above you specificly stated to NOT use a battery that has suffered water damage. Get a new battery or risk frying your phone for good.
[Touch HD General] stoolzo:
3 days

3 days may have not been enough unless you left it in a hot dry place. I once put an old nokia phone in the washing machine. When it came out it was full of water and the water had shorted and turned it off (obviously). I wrapped it in a couple of layers of toilet roll and pushed it down the back of the radiator. Water dropped out the bottom and steam went out from the top. This ensures there is no water left. Next (when fully dry) take some sandpaper to the battery connections in the phone and the battery. Water can oxidise the heads and you may not be getting a good connection. Try again and try a friends battery if that does not work.

Good luck (if its not already too late)
[Touch HD General] gianoit:
i think is too late but....

the better way to avoid definitive damages was an immediate extraction of battery and cards, rinsing in distilled water to avoid corrosion or salt deposition and put on gentle warm hair flux for a long long time.

polish any visible contact with very soft paper and replace with a new battery

pray if you believe and try to turn on

let us know good luck

[Touch HD General] AllTheWay:
This is a very good idea! The rice will definitely absorb the moisture.

http://video.about.com/cellphones/Revive-Waterlogged-Cell-Phone.htm

Check out that video for more information. I don't know if it will help but they don't mention about getting a new battery.

However I have heard differing reports.
[Touch HD General] cybermaus:
I guess that depends if it was before or after....:p

Seriously, while urine is salty, conductive and corrosive, the actual water used in the toilet is in fact as clean as that out of your kitchen tap.

If you took it out that quickly, and if it was clean barely conductive water, the battery may not only not be damaged, it may still hold a charge. If you have a multimeter, and you can measure between 3 to 4 Volt, I am fairly sure the battery is fine. Though I am not taking responsibility....
[Touch HD General] Nils77:
Phone in water

Hi guys,

i just read the HTC water story. Clean it first with pure water (best distilled water) and then use pure alcohol and submerge the electroncis in it.

The water at first replaces the dirt water and washes away particles or solids. As water takes long time to dry alcohol is used to replace the water completely. Alcohol has also a much lower conductivity - therefore avoiding shortened circuits due to salts or similar.

Hope this gives some clarification...worked once in a museum where we had mobiles and they pretty regularly fell into the toilet ;)

Have fun with your HTC,

Nils
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
I used thoses Dyson fast hand dryers - the ones where you dip your hands in and out. After seeing the video I hope I have not done more damage. I was in a public toilet when it happened so had no access to distilled water, alcohol or rice.

I will find out tomorrow if my phone works and will let everyone know. Fingers crossed.

I have already started looking online for a cheap secondhand HD so if anyone knows of one let me know. London based. I guess I don't have much condidence in the phone working. :(
[Touch HD General] nanadavfaa:
I got you beat on that one, don't ask how, but I got coffee cream (liquid) on my HD. Broke it down to component level, cleaned, reassembled and everything is working fine. No corrosion, no battery loss. Luck of the draw I suppose. Now I always have HD in protective case.
[Touch HD General] wpr:
I own a wireless phone repair center. We do not fix wet phones. It is an electronic device. Any short across the board is a potential issue. Had one where the the owner followed some advise similar to what has been detailed here, including a new battery. within a few weeks, the phone was burnt inside.

I have plenty of people that tell me the phone is fine, but I have heard far more horror stories.

I have run wet boards through 99% isopropyl alcohol, thoroughly dried the board, reflowed the solder connections using hot air stations and preheaters, (going so far as to remove soldered shields to access hidden comonents), recleaned them and then traced circuit paths. Most of the phones had resistors or capictors with bad values.

These can cause no obvious issue or they can cause an nasty electrical short. Everything from wat spilled on the board to the time of contact to whether the phone was treated immediately after the wetting.

Again, there are plenty of phones that work for quite a while after getting wet, but like wet, bare metal that may seem fine but rusts over time, the same holds true for these devices.

Just my 2 cents and I know I am one of the only shops you will find on Google that seems to believe there is no way to properly clean a wet phone.
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
Ok.. so I went to INKINO and bought a new battery.

I put the battery in my phone for the first time since Monday night.

Fingers crossed.

It turned on and worked. Hope it will last and not pack up in a few days.

BUT>>>

Sadly there are water stains and blotches well below the screen. Looks like blotches deep below. Quite big and bold. If you look straight on its not too bad but as soon as you see it from an angle it is very noticeable.

Does anyone think they will fade away over time or maybe I should take the phone apart and see if I can wipe the moisture away from under the screen? Risky? Worth a go or will I do more harm than good?

Will upload pic of screen soon.

What is weird, is that the water blotches are not between the external glass and top of screen but well deep below the screen. You can see the UI graphics floating above the water - almost holographic.

Advice. Leave it be or take apart and wipe screen?

If latter are then any step by step photos to disassembly?

Thanks all.
[Touch HD General] AllTheWay:
I say leave it plugged in for a while and see how it does. Maybe it will dry out the more that you use it. If you don't see it diminish then I would dismantle it.
[Touch HD General] cybermaus:
There is always the service manual on this page

Not sure if you done that sort of stuff before, but be forewarned that the first device you try is likely to end up as the cost of learning.

But indeed, maybe you should wait a while first. If you wait, you can always try to (not) break it later, but if you break it now, you can no longer try to wait.

PS: or you can simply visit your local repair center and if they would accept to do it for you.
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
Ok so this is what i have done.

Plugged phone in. Left it on high brightness. Turned off auto dim and auto turn off device. Turned on wifi. Started film in coreplayer and benchmarked it. Put plugged in phone in my bed under pillow to keep it warm. Intention is to get the cpu working high and get the device hot. It has been hot for a while and guess what. Water marks nearly all gone. The main drops have all gone. What is left is a faint mark the size of a cigarette butt but it is slowly diminishing in size. No need to dismantle. Letting heat evaporate moisture. I traced around stain in notepad so i could see its progress.

Am so happy. Another day and i think my phone will be back to normal.

I REALLY believe the fast heat hand dryer worked. If i just shook out the water and let it manually dry for a few days, it could have corroded. The fact that the heat blasts the water out of every opening made sure water did not stay in contact inside long enough.

So my tips from my experience:

As soon as your phone is wet, take it out, take all accessories out including stylus, card, sim, battery, cover. Dry with tissue. Then hold it between the airstream of a hand super fast dryer (i used Dyson AirBlade one in public toilet). Turn phone from all angles so air is pushed into every orifice. Then let dry more for 3 days. Buy new battery and put it in. If water stains, do the above heating up process.

service manual

Before shipping it to HTC repairshop read the service manual, you might be able to fix it yourself.

Also stated in the manual, the HD has a water detection sticker under the phones battery connector pins(the three pins, white sticker, p86 service manual).

Good luck
[Touch HD General] lombardo8:
I droped my MDA compact II (Charmer)in the toilet when I was sick (too much to drink). It dropped out of my shirt pocket. Of course it went off immediately. I took it home and dried it with a drier but it didnt come on. I think I charged it as well but it just had this red light. I thought that was the end of it and just left it under my bed. About 5 nights later, I woke up during the night and I could see light from under my bed, I took a look and there it was my Charmer in all its glory. I used for another 6 months without any problems (it would occasionally switch off) and sold it for £80.
[Touch HD General] v001011:
ok so.......

the phone have TWO batteries. the big one for functionality an a small one (like ag3) that keep recording of your spl.

1. mabe it's not full dry like I see in previous post but this is not true cause you use it.

2. if the wather have salt you will have to "wash" it

3. the second battery not charging from the primary one so after 2 days can't boot because of the lost of spl.

mabe this will help... sorry for your phone I know how it is I have the same prob with a nokia 6630, just bought it and i drop it in sea:( cost me 800 eur in that time.......

so try to replace the small battery I think it's soldered on motherboard...
[Touch HD General] Matterhorn:
I once dropped a SonyEricsson P800 in the lake. I fished it out and immediately took out the battery. I then shook out as much water as possible. When I got home I used the blow dryer on it for several minutes and left it in a dry warm place for the night. I replaced the battery the next day and it worked fine but I had the same problem as you with the spots under the screen between the layers. In my case they never went away, I suppose it was minerals in the water. I considered myself lucky that it worked again but I never trusted the phone to go on holiday so I replaced it with my first HTC phone the iMate Jam.
[Touch HD General] cybermaus:
Sometimes you can get lucky, sometimes you're not:

I remember a niece of mine, she had this non-smart Samsung ladyphone which she left in her jeans for the entire laundry cycle (wash-spin-dry). She only noticed the phone was missing her mother did the ironing.

She put it on the heating overnight, and next day it worked without problems.... She still used it for a year after that.

Me, I once had a (barely week old) Ericsson T82i which was in my jeans on a hot day, when it stopped working. I did notice some condensation on the inside of the screen. So I was a little sweaty. They refused warranty based on the fact the sticker indicated the phone had been submerged....

[Android Head-Units] mikeceledon:
Hi guys. I have a 9'' UIS 7862 Head Unit with built-in 360 Chip. However, I upgraded with another Android 10 Firmware, unfortunately, this one did not come with the 360 support.

I've been searching through the threads here to see if I can find the specific firmware for my unit to make the 360 cameras work again, with no luck.

-- Inner 360 Setting is enabled

-- 360 Panorama was installed later from an APK I found in a thread, but still no luck. Whenever I try to launch the application, it freezes.

Note: Even when the "360 Switch" Option is enabled, there is no floating icon on the screen.

Does anyone have the specific Firmware for the 7862 - 9 inches with 360?

I tried this link posted on another thread here, but the link won't work for me.

Support / Software Download Address

I'd really appreciate it.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ErickTreetops:
I love my V30+ but no O/S updates since 2019.

I would love to flash it to LineageOS 20.

But I have never flashed a phone before, so I'm struggling a bit.

My first question is, will the LineageOS 20 work with my HD930ODS model.

And is this where I need to get it from LineageOS20 ?

Second issue is that LG put a security patch on the phone and I cannot unlock the bootloader.

There is a work around here. And contrary to the title I'm not clear how-to roll back to an older version o/s that allows the bootloader to be unlocked again.

If the answer to the first question is 'yes' can some one point me to a link that shows how to rollback my o/s to unlock the bootloader.

regards

[Xiaomi 12X] Germoon:
It does charge fast, it's the same behaviour as in HyperOS. When blocked -- it charges at its fastest. When you actively use the phone -- it may not suck power at all (my case). Turn off the screen and leave it, it'll charge fast.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ThatGooblin:
I traded a retroid pocket 3+ for a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra "fully unlocked" on fb marketplace, im dumb thinking i got a great trade, and it worked for my sim card for a couple days or so or a week, then it stopped. I did some digging and it says it's blacklisted on verizon. So now idk what to do, I may contact a phone repair shop and see if they can help, I may be able to root it to fix it possibly? If anyone can help me at all I would be so appreciative and grateful. I really don't know what to do as the guy blocked me on discord and deleted his facebook. So now I can't even call verizon and help assuming he's the original owner. He said his brother was but who knows if that's true at this point. I'm screwed and i would pay or do anything to just get this fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Zxalilh:
You can't get it fixed unless you prove to Verizon, that still doesn't mean they will unlock it for you. The blacklisting is not on your phone. You could change your IMEI which would probably be illegal even if you had a phone that wasn't blacklisted.

well, great, haha thanks so much for the reply though, I was hoping someone had some info! I will try to figure something out or sell it for parts.

I recommend changing the main board. Or you can root your device and change the IMEI.

I recently bought a Poco F3 for 180€ did a thorough examination of the phone but what I didn't do is check IMEI since the seller specifically said he tried putting a SIM but doesn't work, but the phone works anywhere else beside the SIM, I did some research and I came to the conclusion that it's blaclisted because when I did *#06# at dial pad, no IMEI#1 IMEI#2 and no Serial number, what do i do with this? I can't unlock it and put a new OS since I need DATA connection and It can't read SIM since it's blacklisted,

Any advice?

Maybe parts phone for my Mi 11i?

Can't really do any experiments on software since it's blacklisted

Thanks in advance

EDIT: This is the screenshot I took when dialing *#06#

Blacklisting does not erase the IMEI or serial number.
