[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ponyboy2000:
I killed my screen my rooting with unRevoked3 cos I have an SLCD screen and didn't realise and also never realised it was an issue anyway.

Root worked ok (I was on bootloader 0.83) but while trying to install a ROM last night the phone wouldn't progress past the O2 boot logo once it was switched back on, I thought I had screwed the flash so decided to use the original O2 RUU (RUU_Bravo_O2_UK_1.20.207.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124865.exe) to return to a stock ROM, unfortunately this killed my screen...

I know the phones working although I can't see anything!

I have tried to follow the steps detailed in the [Root]SLCD HBOOT 0.92 thread here and then here and here (basically read as much as I can regarding fixing the issue of a bust SLCD) but can't seem to get anywhere.

I haven't got a goldcard as I used unrevoke3 to root initially and can't make a gold card as I have no screen, I also can't seem to get into USB Debugging mode.

My question, other than is someone in London willing to fix my phone (lol) is...

IF I TAKE MY PHONE BACK TO THE O2 SHOP NOW THAT IT HAS BEEN RESTORED TO FACTORY SETTINGS, WILL THEY REPLACE IT DUE TO THE BUST SCREEN OR WILL THEY BE ABLE TO TELL I HAVE TRIED TO ROOT?

I am not sure I have the abililty or patiance to persevere with trying to fix the problem on my own.

Thanks for your help.

You can fix it but you will need to make or get hold of a goldcard, there is no other way.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedNas74:
Since you can't see your screen the only way I can think of to make a goldcard is a windows mobile device and an old version of QMat. You need Qmat 4.24 for this, but it wont be easy to find. Other wise you need to buy PSAS (http://psas.revskills.de/). You'll still need a windows mobile device though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cactus42:
You don't need the phone to make the gold card - I made mine using a usb SDCard adapter and Windows 7. Also made a friends using an LG Cookie as the USB SD adapter.

I had a read through all of these before doing so, then kept the Unlockr one on screen while doing it for reference

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Rooting with unrevoked was not the issue here (I did it fine with my phone), I think you issue here is you flashed a rom, it didn't boot (probably because you forgot to wipe something) then you panicked, flashed a non SLCD ruu and now your stuck with no screen.

You can make a Goldcard without your phone as others have said above, but if you did successfully flash the RUU then O2 should not be able to tell you did anything other than flash a bad RUU.

Goodluck and in future if you flash a custom rom and it gets stuck on the "o2" or "htc" screen whatever the first boot screen is, don't worry it can stay there for a long time, or you just need to wipe again, its not bricked.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
As far as I know you cannot get the cid from an sdcard if it is in a usb-attached sdcard reader.

One way to do it is to follow the recovery instructions for downgrading and rooting OTA froya, as this includes how to enable USB debugging without a screen working.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ponyboy2000:
I took the phone back to the O2 shop, the technical 'guru' there told me that it seemed to be an issue with the power or maybe the processor while randomlt making a circular motion at the back of the phone. Anyway they changed the phone for me as I had only had it for 10 days or so.

:D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steljwaxd:
Same here, screen went dead after step 1...

I got a replacement, a little bit afraid of upgrading again.. :P

Also I'm confused, I want a custom ROM and I want root.

Don't know the steps anymore for a Desire with SLCD screen...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ponyboy2000:
I'm not scared, now I know there's an issue I'll just make sure I read up fully on what i need to do... before I wasn't even aware, so stumbled across the problem whe it was too late.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steljwaxd:
So what are your steps now?

Do you have to root before flashing a custom ROM (which is pre-rooted for example?)

Or is it the most simple way to use unrevoked...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poseidon20:
I just rooted my Nexus 1 Froyo per instructions on theUnlockr.com. I installed ADB first, Then proceded to root. I then flashed a recovery rom: recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1-cyan.img. This was successful. I then booted phone into recovery mode. Selected recovery and the first couple times I received a black screen with an exclamation point in the middle of a triangle next to green android. I flashed recovery rom once again and this time it allowed me to enter. I made my backup image and even booted into recovery mode again�wiped phone clean and restored image. I thought I was golden! Later I tried to boot into recovery mode again and I received same problem as mentioned above. I tried again no luck. I even flashed recovery rom again and It still dose not work. Why could this be happening? I even went through the steps to root phone again (that went well). But still no recovery mode. I even tried another recovery rom: recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img. It did the same thing. Worked one time and then nothing! I need to fix this before I load custom Roms.

you are getting the triangle with the droid because the recovery did not flash correctly, try usung rom manager if for nothing else, just to install Amon/clockwork

Cool thanks for the advice! I did try Rom Manager and used Amon/Clockwork recovery. After flashing the Recovery Image I booted into recovery from Rom Manger. No problem! BUT.....when I rebooted phone from recovery menu I again went in to Rom Manager and tried to Boot back in to recovery and I got the triangle with the Droid next to it. I pulled battery and started phone again. I flashed Amon/Clockwork recovery again from Rom Mang. and again I was able to successfully boot in to recovery. This pattern goes on and on. It seams that every-time I want to boot into recovery I need to flash Amon/clockwork image. Somewhere phone is not retaining the information. Everything looks to work just fine as long as I Flash before I go into recovery. I'm sure this is not the way it should work. Any ideas?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poseidon20:
Khaytsus,

When was I told to remove the two scripts? Where did this come from? Please let me know what they are for and why removing them would help? Also, if I do need to remove these would it be done by using Root File Manager, finding file and selecting delete? Sorry if I sound new to this.....it's because I am! LOL.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadako12:
So, I'm not the OP, but I am having trouble deleting the files despite the fact that they are both say "YES" in read and write in properties. I tried to reflash from ROM Manager and I keep getting an error there. Not sure what to do. :(

BTW, I'm using a Galaxy Nexus. Would love some help as this is all uncharted terrain for me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldFxl:
You are in Nexus One Q&A Forum. Did you tryed with Galaxy Nexus Recoveries files and guides ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadako12:
I tried pretty much everything other than wiping the whole thing again. It's quite unfortunate.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldFxl:
If I understand, your problem is that you can't actually flash a custom recovery from ROM Manager ?

Which do you use ?

Are you trying to flash a recovery in recovery mode ?

Please link here files you tried to flash.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadako12:
I can't flash from ROM Manager. Initially, I didn't want to purchase the download capability. So, first, I used the program tools and flashed from there. I got Clockwork Mod to work, but then when I restarted it and went into "recovery," I got nothing.

Now, I can't flash at all.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
The galaxy nexus should have fastboot capabilities, this is the best and safest way to flash your recovery partition

Be sure to use the proper recovery image for your device

If you need help finding it or setting up fastboot let me know
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadako12:
I have only ever found a guide for a temporary flash. I would follow the instructions and then CWM wouldn't stick. =\
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
So here is the typical steps to follow

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

And that's it, were you using fastboot to just boot it? Were you doing another method? The more details you give the faster and more accurate your help will be
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadako12:
I used instructions from http://androidforums.com/internatio...root-samsung-galaxy-nexus.html#enter-recovery.

The ROM wouldn't "stick" and then the USB wasn't even recognized by the end of everything.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Start by booting into your bootloader and writing down everything word for word on that screen here. Next boot to recovery and write down what you see there. Even better upload pics of each. Again the more detailed you can be the more help you can get
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadako12:
1- Download ClockworkMod Recovery for the Galaxy Nexus

.........Original Clockwork Recovery

................-- or --

.........Clockwork Recovery Touch

2- Place that file in your platform-tools folder (same place as your adb.exe).

3- Download the root binaries (su.zip): Superuser

Note: some users who have upgraded to Android 4.0.4 have reported that the above su.zip from the clockworkmod site does not give them root. You can use this file: su.zip (from su.zip - File Shared from Box - Free Online File Storage) instead which IS reported to work).

4- Place that file in your SDK's platform-tools folder (same place as adb.exe)

5- Open a command prompt from within your platform-tools folder and type the following:

.........adb push su.zip /sdcard/

6- Then reboot into the bootloader:

.........adb reboot bootloader

7- When the boot menu loads, flash the new recovery image:

.........If you're going to use the "Original Clockwork Recovery", then

..............fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-maguro.img

.........If you're going to use the "ClockworkMod Recovery touch screen version", then

..............fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-maguro.img

8- When that finishes, use the volume keys to highlight “Recovery mode,” press power to select it.

9- From recovery, scroll to “install zip from sdcard.”

10- Then “choose zip from sdcard.”

11- Choose the “su.zip” file and install it.

12- When that finishes, back out of recovery and reboot the system.

13- Enjoy being rooted with a temporary recovery (permanent instructions below).

I get all of the strikethroughs and can't flash CWM when I'm at the reboot screen.

I get this at first:

The computer then says it doesn't recognize the USB due to a malfunction:

It recognizes the USB when the phone is on but then has problems later. I have the Samsung drivers for the phone installedl; I'm confused as to why it then doesn't recognize it. I've tried with multiple black USB drives and it says the same thing for each. I have blue USB ports. Am I supposed to use those?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Either there is something wrong with fastboot on PC or your phones bootloader is messed up

Can you boot to bootloader and write down everything on that screen here
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadako12:
When I boot up, I get "Start," "Reboot Recovery" and "Recovery mood" as options. If I click recovery mode, I will get this image:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
That's stock recovery

Adb is working fine but PC and phone aren't communicating through fastboot

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadako12:
I looked through that and all he said was that it wasn't connected (duh). I have tried all of the USB ports on my computer and had gotten it to work previously. CWM just wouldn't stick and now it won't connect at all. /sigh
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
There's narrows it down to a few things

Need proper drivers

Problem with usb cable

Problem with USB port on PC

Problem with USB port on phone

Adb/fastboot binaries not installed properly

Not in bootloader mode when trying to connect

But from all you posted my best guess is either your not in fastboot mode on phone when trying to connect or there is something wrong with your bootloader
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadako12:
I tried deleting the whole adb folder to just try the whole thing again and now it won't delete and claims that I am using it in a different program when I'm not.. I'm so confused.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Open up cmd and type

adb kill server

Then you will be able to uninstall and the reinstall, but my best guess is you just need to find the appropriate drivers
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadako12:
I installed the Samsung drivers and it recognized the device when it was on and connected; however, after it went into fastboot, it no longer recognized it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Try other drivers, try the Google ones in the SDK, naked drivers, universal android drivers by koush, pdanet drivers

Or try a Linux distro, you can easily dual boot it or run a live CD, here you won't need to worry about finding the right drivers

*****YOU MUST BE ROOTED*****

This will theme well over 90% of everything you see that has to do with the android os and blur if its still there.

Download my files here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=59KOD7MS

By downloading this you agree to take full responsibility for the actions you are about to preform.

Original files if needed http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0RNAMSQ3

If you have kousch's recovery installed, make a back up, if not use root explorer and make a back up of the following file.

/system/framework/blur-res.apk

download the other original system files here

Sorry no MM method only terminal emulator, so you have to suffer through typing about 10 lines of commands.... :p

Unzip the entire contents onto your sdcard

open terminal emulator

su

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

cp /sdcard/Services.jar /system/framework

cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework

your phone will auto reboot. If you havent already applied a changed services or framework the boot animation will take a long time. If it by chance freezes, or does the boot sound but never shows the screen do a battery pull.

Once your phone reboots you will see a new lock screen and dark status bar with white font, if this is not the case you need to redo the steps above.

If you have root explorer, long press on the /system folder choose permissions. Make note of what permissions are set, grant everything permission for now. Change this back when your done. Failure to do so may cause an apk to not apply.

If you prefer you can reboot after each line command by simply typing reboot and hitting enter, just to make sure it boots clean, but its really not needed.

Put capitol letters when seen!!!! failure will cause duplicate applications!!!

Dont apply anything blur you deleted and dont want on your phone.

In terminal emulator

su

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

cp /sdcard/BlurPhone.apk /system/app

cp /sdcard/BlurCalendar.apk /system/app

cp /sdcard/BlurContacts.apk /system/app

cp /sdcard/BlurHome.apk /system/app

cp /sdcard/Browser.apk /system/app

cp /sdcard/Gallery3D.apk /system/app

cp /sdcard/Music.apk /system/app

cp /sdcard/Settings.apk /system/app

this one goes to new directory so pay attention, dont get type happy :D

cp /sdcard/blur-res.apk /system/framework

now type reboot and hit enter

phone may or may not have an extended boot.

If you use handcent and want it themed, uninstall your old one

su

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

cp /sdcard/com.handcent.nextsms.apk /system/app

mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

reboot

Enjoy :D

[Captivate Accessories] Sleeping Giant:
To start, this is the case I am reviewing: CARBON FIBER Snap-On Hard Case AT&T Samsung Captivate

Look (5/10): I was pretty upset when the case ended up being a much lighter color than it appeared to be in the eBay picture. I was hoping for a dark grey/black look, but it ended up being a bright silver.

Feel (7/10): I generally like the feel of the case. It has a soft rubberized texture, but it's not too grippy. Still slides in and out of pockets nicely. The part I didn't like is the edges where the two parts of the case come together are a bit sharp. Now, it's nothing serious, I'd just like a smoother one piece feel. Does not restrict access to any of the buttons or virtual keyboard. The phone obviously has a thicker feel to it, but it's not terrible. Just feels like a phone in a case. Actually feels a little better to me since I have larger hands.

Fit (7/10): I was able to get all sides of the case to snap securely into place. Have to use a penny to get it to pop apart. Lines up pretty good, no gaps.

Price (10/10): At $8 shipped, I can't complain.

Overall (7/10): For the price I paid it's a decent quality case. There is an all black rubberized variant that I would choose over this one since I wasn't too pleased with the color.

Link to full image gallery. Sorry about the image quality. I don't have very good lighting in my room and I didn't want to drown out the pictures with flash.

One more word of warning when using these types of cases, the notification bar can be hard to access if you have big fingers. I sometimes have trouble using my thumb to adjust the brightness or pull the notification bar down and have to use the tip of my pointer finger. Just thought I'd throw it out there. Doesn't stop me from being happy with the case though. :cool:
[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
I had that problem with the hard buttons (the bottom four buttons) on the OEM case though. Plus when I took this phone out it's so sexy THIN that I don't know if I want to stick it back in a case... :D
