[Fascinate General] Kaze2021:
Good news and bad news. My phone work was cut short due to the battery dying. Remember how I mentioned when the USB is plugged in the phone turns off? Well it also prevents the phone from charging. It went from soft brick to true BRICK! Can we coin that term? True brick haha

With that being said, I can send it back under warranty and get a replacement since it will not turn on or charge and has no water damage. ;)

BUT before I do this, I will give the phone to my EXPERIENCED friend who I should have spoke to from the start. He owns a vibrant running froyo 2.2 with a 2.3 visual overlay. His battery should swap with mine. He will give it a good comb over to make a last ditch effort before I call it in. I do hope we can revert it back for my sake but also to share this info with all of you.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Have you attempted to use a USB jig to get into download mode? That method is usually foolproof, from what I've heard. You can either buy one for a few bucks, or there's also video instructions available on how to make your own.
[Fascinate General] Kaze2021:
THAT is a great idea about using the USB jig. I see the tutorial on xda to make one. Talk about going the distance to recover a brick, that's awesome! I'll see if I can manage to incorporate this.
[Fascinate General] zparlet:
Good luck man!
[Fascinate General] rctreadaway:
Gotta love friends advice!! I would bet it was expecting the button configuration for the vibrant to go into download mode. Although it wasnt the best idea I doubt its really bricked. Good Luck!!
[Fascinate General] exnihilo:
... or, maybe they will just pop in a fresh battery, and see the damage you have caused? I know that's what I would do if I were a VZW rep and you brought me a phone that did not turn on.

this is probably your best option, though I have not used it myself.

some youtube videos to educate yourself:

[Fascinate General] Kaze2021:
Report is in. It's bricked or at least bricked beyond our abilities to fix it.

The reason the phone cannot be fixed is because the volume buttons do not work in the samsung recovery utilities screen. Which means you are unable to select the different options to reinstall package etc.

The second issue is due to the USB software and charging parameters of the phone being changed, it cuts the phone power off anytime a USB cable is connected regardless of JIG or not. My friend explained it turns the phone power off to protect the battery from overcharging. The battery on the vibrant and fascinate do work when plugged into each phone but they are different and charge differently. The fascinate battery will not charge when plugged into a vibrant phone.

A verizon agent explained (off the record) if you take the phone into a local shop they WILL send you packing because they'll know you messed it up. If you send it in, they'll still know you messed it up but as long as there is no physical damage or water damage, the phone gets sent back to samsung which in turn satisfies verizon on their end. This in turn gets you a no charge replacement depending on your phone still being in warranty range. This is what I've been told but as you know in life, there is no guarantees.
[Fascinate General] Kaze2021:
Most importantly, thank you again for everyones suggestions and input!! When I get a replacement I will have to get someone to baby me through the root process and DL30 install :D

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexapus:
I'm running CM6.1.1 currently, but I've been having this issue since before I flashed that. The problem is that the phone, generally when it's been in my pocket (but not always) will lock up in such a way that I can't 'wake' it. The only way to revive it is to pull the battery and reboot.

Other than the phone being idle (in my pocket, on a table, etc..), I can't seem to find any pattern to it. Here's the changes I've made from stock:

Permarooted, subsidy unlock, and s-off via gfree (-f)

Clockword Recovery 3.0.0.5

Eng Hboot

Flashed new radio

Bacontbits OC Kernel (running 245-1305 ondemand)

CM6.1.1

Launcher Pro

1800MaH EVO battery upgrade

Problem is, I did all of this stuff at once, so I can't pinpoint when the behavior started. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Or even how I might track down what happens just before it goes kaput? I guess I could flash it back to stock and start adding things methodically...but what a pain. Also, I'm so hooked on CM, I don't know if I can ever go back to vanilla froyo! :-D

Thanks!

Hey Everybody

i first used aria

Now i like 2.2 Original rom on ARIA....

I want root my ARIA but I don't need a new rom

Can I do ?

if i can do it

i like step on forums.....

hxxp://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7449486&postcount=1 (you can change xx to tt)

Yes ? and use Original rom OK ?

Nuuna :p
[HTC Aria General] Rors:
Yep, sure can. Just because you root doesnt mean you have to use a custom ROM.

You'll just get extra access to your apps, thats all.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Not so fast. If you have an unbranded HTC Aria and have taken the OTA update for Froyo 2.2, then that update also modified your HBOOT loader and you will not be able to root your Aria at this time.

You may be able to gain temporary root using Z4Root, which may be all you need if you don't want to change the ROM. Z4Root will allow root access for applications, but you have to run it every time you reboot your Aria.
[HTC Aria General] akanitnuu:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkPharaoh:
I'll try to keep this as short as possible. After installing Perception 9.5 on my phone my PCs started to fail to recognize the device. I was never able to get it to work with Odin but I was able to connect it to install Perception 10.2 hoping that might fix the issue (10.2 goes back to 897 whereas 9.5 was based off some Samsung 959 ROM). Unfortunately, it did not and I can't connect the device to any of the three PCs I have.

Either nothing happens or the PC says "usb device not recognized". Things I have tried:

Switched usb debugging on and off

Switched from kies to mass storage to media player

Removed and reinstalled drivers on all 3 PCs (2 32-bit Vista, 1 64-bit Win7). The drivers used were the ones in the FAQ thread.

Tried a different micro usb cable

I'm at a loss as to what else to try. I never had this issue before trying to flash Odin with Perception 9.5 on my device. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tman42:
Have you tried a different USB port on your computer? I was using one on the front of my computer for months and then lately it wouldn't connect and I went through the things you did and nothing worked. I am now using a USB port from the back of my computer and it is working fine. If you have wifi you could also look into an app called SwiFTP. It will allow you to transfer files between your phone and computer using your wifi instead of USB cable. Good luck, hope you get it figured out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkPharaoh:
Yep, I have tried a total of 14 usb ports on 3 PCs, lol. I have Doubletwist and Dropbox so I'm not worried about moving files and whatnot, but I do like testing out other ROMs so I need to be able to connect in order to use Odin. I also want to sell this phone soon and pick up an Inspire so I kind of need to get it back to stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkPharaoh:
Update: I tried installing the Vibrant drivers (since that's what Perception 9.5 was based off of) and I did a hard reset of the phone. PC is still unable to recognize the device. Is there a zip file out there that would allow me to revert back to stock?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
There its the jh7 ota that design gears put out a while back, but you are taking a risk flashing anything without knowing you can use odin.

Hi there,

I have a HTC Desire Z and I"m having troubles with wifi, bluetooth and reception.

Whenever I turn on the wifi, it says "turning on.." and after few seconds "error"

For blue tooth it says "turning on..." and then it disappears as if I didn't press it.

Also, a lot of times when I make an outgoing call, the person on the other end cannot hear me the first time. I have to usually hang up and make the call again and they can hear me.

I've tried updating the RUU, rooting the phone and changing ROMS (cyanogen), but nothing worked so I returned it to stock and have it on the latest RUU.

I really don't know what to do any more PLEASE HELP ME!!

You are wiping everything clean, aren't you? wipe data/factory reset - wipe davlik - format system - format boot. It could be that you are overlooking one small but important thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wadokai:
Ive tried data wipe

How dyu do wipe davlik, format system, format..?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdKeys:
Make sure you have the ROM that you want to flash on the root of the sd card before you do the following:

If you haven't done this already, download ROM Manager from the market, install it and then select from within to flash clockworkmod recovery. Once that is installed, then reboot into recovery. You'll have options there and you scroll through the options in recovery by using the volume up and volume down bar. to select an option, click on the track pad. To go back to a previous menu, use the power button.

first wipe data/factory reset, the go to advanced and look for the option to wipe Davlik, then go back to mounts and storage and format system and format boot. That should clean your system up completely for a new install.

Then find the option in the menu to install zip from sd card, and reboot your system.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wadokai:
when i try to wipe davlik, it says

"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2"

then when i try to install the ROM from my sdcard,

it says

"E:Can't open /sdcard/rom/zip (bad)

Installation aborted"

help?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdKeys:
The ROM zip file shouldn't be in a folder on your sd card...not sure it will flash that way. Move it out of that folder and put it directly on your sd card...in no folder. You may have to use a card reader on your computer to do that. You may also have a bad sd card, a bad zip file (the ROM), or your sd card may not be formatted correctly. It needs to be in the fat32 format. The first error re mmcblk1p2 is not a problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wadokai:
Okay so i tried official roms and it didn't work, so I tried a custom rom

You may have to reboot first. Try that if you haven't. Do you have a Desire Z or a G2?

okay so I wipe/data factory set, wipe davlik, format system, format boot, and then reboot?

Then enter into recovery by vol down + power, then recovery?

and then install the custom rom or try another official rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdKeys:
no, that was only to install the ROM, just try a reboot to see if that fixes the wifi issue. nothing more. reboot=restart

Wow! The only thing that you could try to see if its not a hardware issue in my opinion is to change the radio. You can read more about it in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=799208

I checked back and in one of your previous posts you said that you are using the radio that appears first on the list in the first posting in that thread - Vision_RADIO_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17. You could try re-flashing the radio you have now, or you could try another one.

You have to understand, as what's posted in that thread, that if you don't do everything correctly you could brick your phone meaning that it will be nothing more than a paperweight if you don't do everything correctly.

Please read that thread carefully. You have to understand the risk you are taking...and you'll have to know how to flash using the fastboot method.

AND...after all that trouble, it could still be a hardware issue!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wadokai:
With normal rom, i tried flashing different radios...didn't solve anything.

Means hardware then, yes?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdKeys:

Check this out.

Sorry if this has already been posted, the search function is down now, and this is when I have free time to actually post something from my computer.

I've read lots post with people asking how to check MD5, and the most common answer I've seen is to transfer the file to your phone and run Scary Alien's Android File Verifier, which is an awesome program, props. However, it's kinda a pain to transfer a file that you downloaded to your computer, wait for AFV (took forever on an Eris) only to discover it was a corrupt download, plus MD5's are long, not particularly fun to compare. This tool by BullZip will calculate the MD5, and will compare it for you, it runs from the context menu, just right click on the file, select MD5 calculator and you have it, then paste in the host's MD5. The site list Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003 as supported, I can testify to Windows 7 x64. Hope this helps, it's a phone saver for me.

Can someone tell me why would Clockwork not function properly? My problem is that when i click on anything the screen goes blank. This is wen i use the volume keys. A fix for this is using the keyboard. besides this. I took a rom and renamed it update bcuz i am tryin to flash droid 2 to cricket. This is one of the steps. Rename a rom to update. The only thing this the recovery do is show a line that says "replacing clockwork recovery with clock work recovery" or something like that and then jus goes back to the main menu
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Are you using the Clockwork Recovery provided in koush's bootstrap? or have you run koush's bootstrap at all?

If not then that's why. On the Droid 2 and newer Moto droids the bootloader has been locked so we have to overcome this by bootstrapping or hijacking the boot process to include clockwork recovery when we need it. koush's bootstrap does

this for us and includes clockwork recovery.

Hello all. Sorry to post about this, but I see it's a somewhat common issue with some other 'Droids and figured I'd toss this in here to see if anyone else has had any issues.

[Fascinate General] :
Not all USB power connections are the same

I have the USB provided with my fascinate. In addition, I have a cheap power only mini-USB connector. When I use the latter, on any ROM, I find the touch screen to be non responsive. When I use the stock power it works. Just a FYI, so please check your power cord first.:o
[Fascinate General] LightningXCE:
I'm using the stock cable that came with my phone (of which I picked up this last Saturday).

Right now, I'm running the Blackhole ROM, it happens quite often, but there are a few instances where the touchscreen does work fine. It seems to happen mostly whenever the screen goes to sleep and requires an unlock.

I don't think it could be the Blackhole rom, as it would have been more widely reported... could it be? I have absolutely no issues otherwise with it (Except pressing the redial button crashes the dialer and hitting "Setup Wizard" in the options causes an exception/FC)
[Fascinate General] shredder47:
this has always happened to me, i think its just an electric interference from the charger to the screen. a better cable might fix the problem but i'm not positive on that, just conjecture
[Fascinate General] cabagekiller:
Don't use 3rd party chargers/ cables, this is a known issue to messing up the touchscreen. Also hold your phone while you use it, you need to do this because it seems to ground the phone and make it responsive. I have tested this on a few phones and they do not like it when you touch the screen while you are not holding it.
