On a extended battery cover I did no see corresponding connectors, that is why I asked the question, so there is no grounding with extended battery?

Hello xda ppl. I gave a huge problem with my Magic. I reseted my phone from the software(in menu>settings...factory default...) and after that the phone rebooted and stay stuck at the android logos. I tried all kinds of resets like hard reset and other, but still the same problem. Is there a way to flash the phone? It's a 32A motherboard. 10x.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Do you have root?

If yes then proceed.

Do you have a custom recovery?

If yes then which one? Proceed.

Did you try a wipe from recovery?

If yes then try to reflash your rom.

If no then give it a try.

Try to give us more information too.

Rom type, spl type, recovery version, a2sd enabled?, etc.

Also remember to tell us what you did, how you did it to cause the problem(s) and what you have done so far to troubleshoot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ph91ctl:
How can i root it if it would not start, it stucks at android logo! I said what caused this, I reseted the phone(factory default) from the menu and the phone rebooted normally after that and stayed stuck there.

What does ddms say?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ph91ctl:
I don't know how that works, or what is it. Please help me, i just got the phone and used it for a couple of hours then this nasty thing happened. Can we talk in a private chat like GTalk or other and guide me step by step? Thanks so far for answering. Cheers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
I personally will not. All of the information is here in the forums.

When did you get the phone? Did you buy it from the carrier, from another person, from a store? Basically... can you return it?

If you bought it from someone else there is a chance that it has root on it and wiping from settings caused a problem somehow.

But without knowing ANYTHING about it then your on your own.

Private chat/gtalk?

No offense but I'm not paid to be private technical support. I'm too busy to help people out that haven't made significant effort on their end already.

I suggest calling your provider and tell them that your phone stopped working. As long as you didn't root then you didn't void your warranty.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ph91ctl:
Ok, thanks anyway for responding. I solved the problem by updating it with RUU from the official HTC website.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigal77:
Hello, So i have had the Captivate for a full 2-3 weeks now from rogers Canada.

LOVE IT ! Not much lag, GPS super accurate but Ive come across few problems that may be related to software.

For the first time tonight, my phone shutdown. It wasnt charging or anything, but i couldnt unlock it and the opening animation lit up when holding down the side so i assume it had shutdown.

But my biggest worry is 3 days ago, and again last night, I woke up to find my screen all black and white, (like a faded black) and phone was completely unresponsive. I had to remove battery and reinsert, then it would start up and work normally all day. I really do not wish to return it, unless I have too, but can this be app related? or just buggy? I will keep track, but couldnt find any other with this issue on google search.

Hopefully someone here can help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koreancanuck:
It's been a problem with AT&T Captivates and my phone suffered as well. There's a thread in General section where people all talk about random shutdowns for their phone. Is your phone rooted? I think my shutdowns started happening when I just rooted the phone.. but somehow after I flashed a cog rom, it was all ok...

Works well! I had little trouble running java on windows7. But changing compatibility mode to windowsxp sp3 and check run this program as an administrator solved the problem.

Thanks for easy guide!
[Galaxy Tab General] smithdc:
tacoda, you mean for running the .jar file? or for installing Java itself? (I assume the former).
[Galaxy Tab General] jay_jay_n:
Sweeet thx , curious if unlocking the AT&T version has hardware only set to AT&Ts 3G frequencies, so 3g wont work on tmobile or is it capable of running 3g on tmobile with a unlocked AT&T tab?
[Galaxy Tab General] tacoda:
Running the jar file. I didnt know how to run it.
[Galaxy Tab General] Zeron.Wong:
Does the sim card and/or sd card should or should not be plugged in during the unlocking progress?
[Galaxy Tab General] smithdc:
It shouldn't make a difference Zeron.Wong.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Traditionally, AT&T and T-Mobile hardware used different radios, it was more than just firmware. That's also true on the little brother Galaxy S series, the Vibrant has a different radio than the Captivate (though the Vibrant radio DOES have 1900 band in the hardware, for some reason).
[Galaxy Tab General] difo:
Kudos to smithdc for this awesome guide! I saved a lot of money thanks to him. Congrats again.
[Galaxy Tab General] smithdc:
Bump, is there any way to sticky/pin this for people?
[Galaxy Tab General] maxtcee:
So your saying if I use this method and install my tmous unlimited sim I can get calls and 3g or do I need a prepaid sim
[Galaxy Tab General] smithdc:
I'm not sure on how T-Mobile are blocking, but if it IS my IMEI then you would have to use a SIM from a different network.

If they are blocking your IMEI on their network, then you would have to use a SIM from a different network (as a different network, wouldn't be blocking this IMEI number). Changing it to a different SIM on the same network won't help as your IMEI is for the device itself.
[Galaxy Tab General] rpmbnsf:
I just want to clarify something..

I have a T Mobile Tab and want to use a SIM I have for ATT.

Will I have to flash my device with the EU firmware first in order to get the phone software on it..then do the rest of the unlocking steps?

Assuming thats correct..after unlocking it I then can put my ATT sim card in and it should work for calls and data (Edge only) with not having to tweak any setting at all? Or do I have to set up my wap.cingular connections for the data like on a WM phone on ATT?

And if I want to get back to original out-of-the-box firmware from T Mobile (like if I had to send it in for repair) I just have to flash stock T Mobile firmware and its back completely to original?

Thanks..and wow am I loving this TAB !!!
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
You'll need to set up your APN data for AT&T, yes.
[Galaxy Tab General] rpmbnsf:
Thanks for the fast reply. As for the flashing of the EU rom..is that the only/best way so far in order for me T Mobile Tab to get the radio software on it. I was thinking I saw an APK for the radio software someplace but did not know what way was better.

I just want to be 100% sure bfr I take the jump to unlocking and playing with the phone part

thanks

[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
I read on one of the other threads that sim unlock method also changes your imei number. Is this really case?
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Yes, it will set your IMEI to a bogus one that will get your T-Mobile internet access disabled after 1/2 hour.
[Galaxy Tab General] doksng:
so how do I restore my IMEI to its original
[Galaxy Tab General] hacksome:
After applying this Fix, unlock is working. But the phone is not registering to the local phone network. I think it has to do with the IMEI.

Is there a solution?.. I have the previous /efs folder backup.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Revert back to the old /efs, and use the other method, hex-editing nv_data.bin, which doesn't screw up your IMEI.

Details here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843323&highlight=network+unlock
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
WARNING: A lot of folks, including myself, have had bad results following this guide. Some have even lost their IMEI files for good.

This is safer:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843323

If you plan on unlocking your phone, please backup your /efs folder and make sure you have at least 6 files visible in the backup. If you don't see 6 files, then STOP and don't continue unlocking!!!

The six files you should see:

.nv_data.bak
.nv_data.bak.md5
nv_data.bin
nv_data.bin.md5
nv.log
.nv_state
[Galaxy Tab General] hacksome:
Thank you rotohammer!

Fortunately I did a /efs backup. Hope simply copying back the old files to /efs folder will revert the changes?
[Galaxy Tab General] doksng:
I tried copying the backup files to the EFS folder using root explorer but was unable to do so as the files were not pasted even though I had access to root.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Be sure that the directory is set to RW first. Little button on the top of the screen in Root Explorer will do that for you.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Also, because the /efs folder has very little free space, you may have to delete the file in /efs first, then copy the backup file back, one at a time.
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
Mods since the OP has neglected this guide and it is obviously causing people to lose their IMEI, please delete / edit / lock this thread.

There is another better guide on the forum that does NOT corrupts your IMEI.

Hi, at first a big thanks :)

I got a samsung galaxy tab which was locked to T-Mobile.

I followed your instructions and when I finished and typed *#7465625# in,the network lock was off :)

Then I was putting in a Orange sim and I could use the internet,market etc but when I tried to write a message or make a call he told me not registered to network.

I tried in mobile network settings-network operators-select automaticially but no joy.

Tried then a T-mobile sim and i was havin then straight away a signal.

Did i forgot something whilst unlocking?

My carrier unlock code is not working

Hey guys, just wanted to ask you subject matter experts if you had any ideas on my my network carrier unlock code is not working on my tab.

When I first got it a few months ago, I rooted it, then used ODIN to flash various overcom roms. Also flashed various modems, kernals, recovery, etc.

The thing works just fine... just I want to use another carriers sim with my paid unlock code.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
By changing the software in your tab, without knowing it, you changed the file for the unlock code. No big deal, just go to

https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.sgs2simunlockcode

It takes 10 minutes to run the app. Write down the code. Put in some other sim card. Boot the tab. Enter the code.

try enter bootloader from activesync, failed! have to pull out everything for 15mins in order to enter bootloader.

why is it happen "that" way? is it because of android (haret? or clrd?)? how to get back my normal way of entering bootloader without pulling out everything for 15mins?...

[Droid 2 General] osufans:
So, I've tried following the directions for the "nearly" one-step root, and the process completes, but I get no response when I run the Super app, just a blank screen. Is that normal?

Also, from what I've been able to find, it appears there are no released SBF's for the R2D2, so if I brick my phone, I'm SOL. I don't want to end up with a non-warranted paper-weight, so for now I unrooted it....however...did I do something wrong, and if so can someone fill me in?

Thanks!
[Droid 2 General] nerdslogic:
which one step? I used the Z4root and had zero issues. Rooted within a minute.
[Droid 2 General] osufans:
OK, so I did manage to root it using the one-step root, however what ROM manager works on the R2D2? I am trying to use ROM Manager, but when attempting to do a backup, the phone reboots, then I get what appears to be an error, after which the phone boots back up normally. The error is a triangle with an exclamation in it, with the android dude standing next to it.

If I go into manage and restore backups, I have nothing listed, which tells me the backup never worked.

Any ideas?

Also, I was wondering what exactly doing a ROM backup does for me. Does it do a snapshot of the current state of the phone, so if I wanted to rollback any app changes I made, will that be undone?

Just trying to get a feel for what exactly this does for me. I would like to de-blur my phone, and by saying that, I'm not even totally sure what that means. I see a TON of motorola apps in the system/apps folder, but I really don't know what is safe, and not safe, to get rid of.

Thanks!
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Super user app is blank until root apps are used.

For now I wouldn't use a ROM manager you need Koush's Bootstrap to be able to do a backup. It's on the market. To use it just tap the Bootstrap button then wait for the success toast (box) and then tap Reboot Recovery and your phone will boot into Clockwork mod. Backup will take an img of the phone as it is at the point where you backed up. To restore if you mess something on a later install but if you can't get into clockwork for some reason you might be out of luck. Because there is no SBF specifically available for the R2D2 D2 but I've heard that the 2.3.20 might unbrick bricked R2D2's but you won' have the same verizon version you have now it'll be a step back.
[Droid 2 General] osufans:
OK. I do have bootstrap recovery installed and was able to perform a backup.

Also found a link to some of the bloatware you can "safely" remove. I'm still tweaking it....but that being said, what else can you do (i.e. - overclock, etc.)?
[Droid 2 General] gunz.jones:
You can overclock, install libs and bins that access hardware features locked out by vzw, change roms and themes....yada, yada.....the 2.3.20 sbf is not a step back. The radio update and kernel tweaks for battery life are not in the 2.4.5 system. They had the rom version because some files are different between the two.

Hey guys I just got my HTC Desire (Telus version) today and so far im loving. I setup the 3G to work with my carrier (Fido) and everything works fine and dandy, but the problem is after a while of not using the phone and then unlocking it to go back on the internet doesn't seem to work. The 3G and WiFi are still on but I need to turn them off then back on for it to work. Has anyone had problems with that before?

Cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonafide44:
Okay so I pinpointed the problem, supposedly when the screen turns off and the phone goes into Power Save Mode the WiFi loses connection. Does anyone have any ideas about what I can try? I bought the phone and its running android 2.2 and it is running Cyamogenmod-6.0.2-Desire.

Should I downgrade to android 2.1 just to see if it may work? Or maybe a different rom? I'm open to anything right now as I think I may sell the phone cause of this problem.

I have a D2 which I used the Z4root app to root. Everything is working great and I am very thankful. However I am curious what all happens should I hit the unroot button.

Does it wipe the phone?

Does it put it to a state where I could send it to VZW for warranty replacement?

I downloaded that Titanium Back up Pro....so if I run a backup does it get all my apps and settings? Then what when I recieved new phone....root, DL titanium and restore?

I also DL'd SetCPU but am curious if that overclock Dx/D2 app is better as SetCPU doesn't allow me to actually overclock my D2.

Thanks in advance for your assistance. Sorry for all the Newb questions.
[Droid 2 General] Slacker6999:
I have not tried the Z4 root app but I would assume that when you hit the unroot button that it only unroots and dosn't wipe the phone. You could just flash the stock rom with rsd lite to restore to out of box condition. As far as back up apps are concerned I prefer My Backup Pro, you can back up all app and phone data to an online server and restore on any phone. And the Dx/D2 overclock app is better because it actually let's you overclock, set cpu will only let you under clock.
[Droid 2 General] nerdslogic:
I had it installed but could not overclock with it. I am thinking it is because I did not do a different kernal or ROM yet.
