[Streak 5 General] Dr Doppio:
All right; I am currently replaciing the LCD+touch screen+Gorilla glass combo on my Streak. I removed the old "broken" part, and it is very obvious that the only fault is a tiny gap between the LCD and the digitizer. Both surfaces are covered with an oily odorless substance; the corners where I didn't see any light are the only dry places.

My question is, to anyone who may have insight in the production process: What is the substance between the two plates?

The reason I am asking is because I relized that there's nothing to prevent this from hapenning again, and I am not shelling $55 every other month for self-repairs -- not worth it. I have however access to a very broad range of solvents and am curious whether I could apply one of them between the plates and restore functionality.

Any ideas?

PS. My next phone will be AMOLED for sure.
[Streak 5 General] krazman325:
More than likely, that is the LCD's "blood". Your LCD probably leaked. I didn't have that problem. Mine was dry but the gorilla glass was shattered. I have not had to replace mine again in nearly a year. Just be careful!

[Streak 5 General] Dr Doppio:
I really don't think so. I have pictures, but they won't resolve the issue I'm afraid. I very specifically remember the pattern that I observed on the broken screen, and how it exactly matched the dried out part between the plates. While trying to improve the contact of my broken screen, i accidentally lifted one edge of the glass, and the darkened region grew bigger at the same time (presumably I widened the gap and let more air in.)

Anyway, I'll be more carefull from now on (no more putting the streak in my pockets :( I just need to find a replacement tape, I have an excelleng silicone glue from 3M but it doesn't seem to work for the tiny plastic plates.
[Streak 5 General] alperin1:
Go to a local shop the repairs iPhones. They carry the tape you need. The problem will be you need to cut the tape for use with the streak as it is already cut for the iPhone. This has worked for me in the past for two phones. That tape is from 3m.

User Group

I have a Dell Streak that was having some issues with lack of memory. I decided to do a reboot and just go back to a stock version. I'm not sure what happened, but now I cannot get it to work at all. It will reboot, but when I go through the set up wizard it fails and I'm left with just a blank screen. Is there any sort of place I can go to and meet up with some Android experts to help me sort this out. I just don't want to brick this phone and figure since I live near the Google campus in Mountain View there must be some people around here that can help out. XDA is awesome, don't get me wrong, but a in person works well too.
[Streak 5 General] Dr Doppio:
Some vendors/materials I used for my Streak repair, for reference:

1. Purchased the Dell Streak 5 replacement LCD digitizer assembly

for £ 33.50 from replacebase.co.uk -- smooth payment with a foreign credit card and reasonably fast delivery in Europe

2. Used 3M-TE9088-12 double-sided tape from 3M to affix the plastic side-plates (it is slightly thicker than what others have recommentded, but at 0.2 mm the difference is negligible)

All in all the phone looks good as new, although after all the handling the surface is scratched in a few places.
[Streak 5 General] rexistance:
Broke my screen yesterday :(

Hi Guys,

As you can see in the attachment i broke the Dell Streak screen. Obviously only the screen is broken the gorilla glass doesn't even have a scratch. It fell face down almost parallel with the carpet from about 1 meter. It was inside the form fit case and the microfiber pouch ... now i regret not buying an otterbox.

I already sent it to a certified Dell service partner for a repair price.

Depending on the price i will repair it myself or pay them to repair it for me.

The main reason i sent it to service is that i still have 17 months of warranty left. (bought it with 24 months in august 2011)...but of course it does not cover this type of damage.

All the best to you Dell Streak users.

Still a great device!
[Streak 5 General] lorenzo_btbw:
I'm wrong, or the price of the lcd has increased?
[Streak 5 General] Supremacist:
nope, looks like it jumped from $34 to $100 just recently.

Sucks, too, because my latest screen has this problem: h t t p://youtu.be/vjzqfRNDRsk
[Streak 5 General] rohan_kadbe:
Replaced!!

I also replaced my streak's screen couple of weeks back....bought it frm ebay chineese sellar zing something for about 50$...feels like original...but Ithink it's not...but till now no problems...
[Streak 5 General] Dr Doppio:
It appears so. I broke my screen again. Last time I bought the LCD for ~35GBP, now it's closer to 90. I am not sure I want to repair it again. It will break in 9 months again anyway, so I will put the money towards a new phone. Too bad that Dell threw in the towel on this great device. :(

hi all,

I read this thread just now:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857188

I wanna talk about the same thing but that thread has been closed.:(

According to some website, I found both G10 and iPhone4 are based on ARM architecture. I have use IDA to analyse some files in iOS 4.2.1 update packages and I found it use ARM7 instruction set. So I think there is still some possibility to port iOS kernel to G10. Is there anyone who also interested on this? Could you tell me something useful about this project? Thanks a lot.:p

BTW: If you think this post makes no means, please do not laugh at me as the guys who has done this in the thread above. I only talk about my idea. Although this idea maybe impossible to be implemented. I hope you can give me some adivse, information or others, not your ridicule. Thanks in advance.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
It's about as likely as getting windows phone 7 to work on the DHD. Without the source it's probably an impossible undertaking as the kernel will need to be rewritten with the correct hooks and drivers to work on the DHD.

-----

Someone Swyped my idea.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilingshu:
Yes, I was agree with your opinion. The driver is really needed to be written for a new device. But for some basic peripheral such as touch-screen, may have a common driver between iphone and desire hd?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Highly unlikely in my opinion, if you want iOs on your phone buy an iphone.

BTW I'm sure if you did manage the port you would be unable to connect to iTunes to install apps so would be restricted to clydia etc
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilingshu:
I just discuss about the possibility and gather information about this. So, do not suggest me to buy a iPhone. BTW: I'd like to buy a iPad2 when it released. :o
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sromer:
Why would you want iOS on a DHD?

That would be a downgrade
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilingshu:
Nowadays Android can run well on iPhone. So why not try to port iOS to Android phone?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wuzz3r:
I think a major issue would be the screen resolution; the DHD runs at 800x480 and the iphone4 runs at something like 960x640 this would mean that everything would just be wrong, and most probably wouldn't do anything at all. I don't think that it would really be viable for a dev to work on something like this, especially as quite a few of us (me for example) moved away from iOS for Android.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilingshu:
hmm... Resolution is a issue only for application developers... It should not be a problem for kernel porting I think.:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panyan:
i have been highly involved in OSX86 which is where you are porting mac osx to work on windows machines and from that, i can safely say that this project would involve so much work that you are essentially rewriting the whole OS
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilingshu:
Yes. To driver the peripheral device, we have to write all the driver or at least, modify the original driver. Without the source code, this would be too hard.

BTW: Is it possible for us to port xnu(or the kernel of mac os x) to ARM platform just as iOS do?

you don't have iOS source right, you will have to disassemble and go thorugh lots of code, replace a lot of things, then fix so that every thing works in a flow..

This will take years! with no assurance of success again. you may also have to find security holes in iOS again to load it on a different phone.

If you had the source then few months!

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt_seven:
But Win7 is ported to HD2, or not? Correct me, if i'm wrong. And if it's ported to HD2, it should be possible to port it to the DHD.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DexterMorganNL:
Hackers could probably port it if some Android device has almost same hardware, but I think thats not going happen, the reason OSX runs on some PC is because Apple use PC hardware and then its for hackers easy to get it working on pc's.

Android is open source so the situation you are talking about it's entirely different from porting Android into ios.

I keep getting com.lge.lgmits was closed messages randomly... What does this mean? Basically I swiped everything after doing the backup -> lost the backup. The custom recovery rom still works though, when I reboot into it, and the phone works other than the error that I mentioned. Would re-flashing the phone help? And do I need to partition the card again as well?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] FnH84:
Also don't understand the whole backup and swipe thing.. At what point am I suppposed to swipe the card? After backup? But then the whole backup will be destroyed? lol
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
partition ->wipe -> refflash void
[Optimus One, P500, V General] FnH84:
Wipe the external as well?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] FnH84:
Didn't wipe the external but lost the backup all the same.. Oh well, I didn't have anything there anyway. I re-flashed with Megatron, since void seems too complex for me, and no errors so far.. Edit: Oh the errors started again..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
I have no idea. But as far as i can tell, it does absolutely nothing to my phone. I have a lot of background services removed since I'm using Light ROM, therefore I (and maybe anyone else) is fine without that suicidal service.

You wipe when you feel it's necessary to wipe. For example, wipe Data, cache, and dalvik-cache when you're starting with another ROM. If you're upgrading, you may not wipe anything, but that depends on a ROM.

Try viewing the contents of flashable zips. Notice the directory structures :) I'm not sure if zips contain instructions for the recovery to delete certain stuff, but I don't think that's the case.

Also, you can keep your backups on a separate card or on the PC. I have mine there since I'm a perfectionist when it comes to disk space :P
[Optimus One, P500, V General] FnH84:
Thanks for the help! :) I froze the service with an app and phone still functions just fine, so hopefully that took care of it. Really don't wanna flash AGAIN LOL Any idea how to save backups to PC? Or just use the LG PC Suite?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
toggle usb mode and transfer the files to pc or use a card reader...

[Legend General] Azaruc:
Hi all,

Yesterday I tried to root my legend to flash a custom rom (CyanogenMod 7).

Everything worked fine until I decided I also wanted to flash an unsigned Data2Ext zip.

So I first Wiped everything, then flashed CM7 ( successful ) and then tried to flash Data2Ext.

This didn't work (I think the error was something like "no signature").

After that I quit the recovery mode and my legend was stuck in a boot loop. Also, when connecting my legend to the pc and trying to get into recovery mode, my Legend was recognized as being "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM". Windows tries to install drivers but unsuccesful, so I can't get into recovery mode anymore.

The only solution I found to get out of the boot loop was to unroot my Legend again. (Using this guide )

However, I still can't get into recovery mode for the same reason (and thus can't root my Legend anymore).

Also, when connecting my legend with the pc when already booted (I'm back to htc sense android 2.1), it doesn't let me get a good usb connection. My phone is charging, but windows says "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it".

I think these problems might be related, but the first problem is my main concern, as I want to flash a custom rom again.

I've used many search terms, but could not find an answer that would solve my problems. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Note: I don't have root access anymore and am running Windows XP.

Also, the rest of my phone's functions is working correctly it seems.
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
Hi!

First I would try to install some FOTA, since you obviously can't install anything else... you might look to Shipped ROMs...

(don't install Froyo if you can, you'd probably end up with HBOOT 1.01 which is not that easily rooted, but still can be done...)

As those are most probably properly signed, you should be able to flash them from SD card, so no USB connection needed...(choose LEGEIMG starting archives, .exe needs USB) - the filename to flash from SD must be legeimg.zip

That should fix your USB connection issues I hope...

Then I'd try to re-root (See stickies in Development)
[Legend General] Azaruc:
I tried flashing a FOTA (LEGEIMG_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.5_R_Radio_47.26.35.04_7

.05.35.26L_release_126592_signed.zip) but I think that's the one I already flashed using this topic. It reads the legeimg.zip but doesn't give me the option to update, so I guess they're the same?

For some reason I now also get the "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" notification when trying to connect as USB Disk station to the computer, so not the "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it" error.

Edit: Now I get the malfunction error again..

Could the solution to my problem be to find the drivers for the Qualcomm thing? And if so, where can I find those?

Edit2: New development;

Legend now freezes completely when connecting to USB. I have to take out the battery to get it working again..

Edit3:

I've taken another look at the hboot screen and it gives me the following info:

LEGEND PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-1.01.0000 <-- isn't that strange, since I'm running 1.31?

MICROP-0816

TOUCH PANEL-SYN07-0103

RADIO-7.05.35.26L

Nov 8 2010,15:24:15

Also, when I try to flash the 2.03 zip from here, it finds the legeimg.zip and asks me if I want to update. When I do so, it tells me "CID incorrect! Update Fail!"
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
Oh maan, I guess HBOOT-1.01 and 1.31 is not working out then...And since there's no way to downgrade HBOOT, you have to flash Froyo ROM...but to do that you need a goldcard: Here is a HowTo

Then you can flash a ROM with different CID then your own...

note: 2.03 is not Froyo, and since shipped-roms only has RUU, you might look into this: HowTo Extract RUU

And then you just ROOT again :)
[Legend General] maxq1:
try using attached driver by replacing the current one on your xp box. had the same problem before. HTH

aw, man! you missed your chance on s-off. :eek: anyway, since you're on hboot 1.00+ already (& from the looks of it, you lost your root), Dr Romca's link for rooting should work
[Legend General] Azaruc:
Thanks for the help!

However, yesterday I couldn't make a new goldcard, since my device wasn't recognized. I will try to make one again this afternoon, using a W7 machine.

I will let you know the results!

Thanks! I will try this as well!

Edit:

Still no luck trying to create a goldcard, since the pc doesn't recognize my device, regardless what type of connection (charge-only, htc sync etc) I select. In windows 7 I also get the device malfunctioned error.

Trying to use the adb command only returns "No Device found" (or sth like that).

Using the driver Maxq1 gave me doesn't seem to work (unless I'm doing it wrong that is)
[Legend General] Azaruc:
edit: usb bug fixed
[Legend General] Eiser:
You mean you've rooted your Legend?

I am experiencing the exact same problem as you've described while trying desperately to root my HTC Legend.

I start up Fastboot, run Step1, then go into Bootloader (and also getting the same error message about the .zip file), then Recovery mode, and my computer (W7) recognizes the device at this point as Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM, and fails to install the drivers.

When trying to run step2, I get an error message telling me "device not found".

I am also running 1.31 and Hboot 1.01.0000

Would really appreciate some help :)
[Legend General] Azaruc:
I didn't really document my steps (I should have :( ), but I think the Qualcomm bug was fixed by following this guide.
