[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yahase:
Well my phone had hardware lock, which i was not able to use 3 button combos to get to recovery mode....so i found this thread.....

I just captured the JI6 OTA update files from one of my phones and found that T-mobile is

updating the SBL with the same file found in this thread, I'm using the same method as T-mobile

to install the new SBL so the chances for a brick are the same but if you are completely

stock just wait for the OTA update and have the phone swapped under warranty in the

event of a brick.

WARNING:

INSTALLING THIS CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE

this is safer than the odin method, but when messing with the phones bootloader

there is always a chance that you could end up with a paper weight (I bricked

one phone messing with this stuff).

Updated 10-15-2010

this is the fix for hardware locked phones in update.zip form

install the phone drivers which can be found at:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728929

put update.zip on the internal sd card (the 12 gb one)

turn on USB debugging in Settings-->Applications-->Development

reboot into recovery, use the RebootRecovery.bat in adb.zip if you dont know

how to do that.

when in recovery use the vol up and down buttons to navigate and power button to

select reinstall packages

install will take about 20-30 seconds and will pause at "writing secondary bootlader" don't panic

the phone will reboot you should be unlocked (or bricked).

update.zip md5=3b32fab99049530d2185014340840a47

File Type: zip	adb.zip (253.2 KB, 1153 views)

File Type: zip	update.zip (645.5 KB, 1467 views)

After i applied the update.zip, phone didnt reboot. I waited 5 mins phone turned cold, battery was cold as well...so i took the battery out and tried to turn on but no luck.

I hope the jug will help, otherwise i dont know what else to do.

Have you gotten your jig yet? Did it work?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Settai:
Don't mean to sound negative, but I'm pretty sure a jig won't work. From what you posted it seems that the update.zip you posted broke your bootloader which is a guaranteed hard brick if true. You should still try if you want to, but if your bootloader really got messed up nothing will bring it back

waiiiit doesent odin 1.8.3 has bootloader flash option....wait ...., it does .,

LEAVE YOUR PHONE FOR 10 MIN CONNECTED TO WALL OUTLET , take out battery dont disconect the phone put the batt in leave it for 10 min take it out put it back in try to boot your phone, TRY TO JUMP START IT ,ANYWAY YOU LIKE IT (or gimme your phone)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartek25:
people return countless phones because someone said its fup because wont turn on been there few times ,still got my phone i dont care how much c*** u gone tell me it wont work i still tell you it will only way i would consider phone usless its when internal sd would get messed up to the point that it wouldnt work at all because u cant reflash sd to work :( :confused::confused::confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartek25:
jig ? what jig, my phone would not turn on for a day to boot back up after messing with it for some time trying to jump start it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartek25:
YEAHHHH, I SAID IT DAMIT !:p
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzahorchak:
I'm in the same boat. A jig won't fix it because it's the boot loader. The only way to fix it is through a jtag. I took mine to a local repair shop that had one and got it to boot up, but it was still hardware locked because he had to use a i9000 boot loader. The T959 boot loaders weren't working for him. I tried updating through Kies a couple days later and it screwed up the boot loader again, so I'm sending it to Samsung. As long as they don't determine that it was modified or repaired already, they'll repair it under warranty. I just wish I can find out how much the repair would cost if they determine that the warranty is void.

[Droid Incredible General] brian85:
If I purchased this phone used, is it possible to get repairs under warranty? If so, how would I find out warranty information?
[Droid Incredible General] g00s3y:
I don't believe so, I don't think Verizon lets you "transfer" the warranty. If you bought it off of eBay I know this is true.
[Droid Incredible General] wurzzz:
I'm quite sure it does not transfer. If you did get it from ebay though, you're in luck. Check squaretrade.com. They insure phones sold on ebay. No luck for craigslist phones though (that would be me =( )
[Droid Incredible General] g00s3y:
I believe that's only if there is something wrong with it when he receives it. I don't think they do anything after the fact, I could be wrong though.

2X.

Frankly, G2x should blow Atrix out of the space.
[LG Optimus 2x] felix.akinyemi:
I think it does!! hopefully they remove lg's UI and keep it stock!! either way, its still better than motoblur!!
[LG Optimus 2x] FILLY86:
What is the difference to the normal 2X ????
[LG Optimus 2x] svengalis:
Well from what I heard this version will have 4G.
[LG Optimus 2x] felix.akinyemi:
Probably just HSPA+ (4G) and maybe vanilla android and hopefully gingerbread!!
[LG Optimus 2x] sikkboy626:
Nice

A lot of people are speculating that T-Mobile changed the name to G2X to match the other "G" series phones. The same people have inferred that this means te phone will be stock Android. Hopefully this is the case! I will definitely pick it up.
[LG Optimus 2x] vinnyjr:
Currently using the Nexus One and MyTouch 4G, I would jump on this new phone in a heart beat. I hope the LG doesn't have that cheap plastic feel, I enjoy a quality built device, good hardware goes a very long way in the way I choose my phones. The Nexus One to date has the best feeling in your hands, I still use it as my daily phone. HTC builds quality phones, I have sent my N1 back to HTC several times for the screen issue, they fixed it, changed the mother board and many other parts. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another device from HTC.
[LG Optimus 2x] profresh:
now the question is when is the release date?
[LG Optimus 2x] ikarma:
I heard later this month. I hope so, I am trading out my Nexus S to get the cash together and will be using an iPhone 4 till its released. :-( I plan on getting it on day one.
[LG Optimus 2x] mfmarasligil:
how does it take to get the unlock code from the website services?

can anyone give me an estimated time for that? :confused:

Awesome that TMo is picking up O2X as their next G-series device.

Hope it will be launched with stock Android - porting that ROM to European device will be a piece of cake!

O2X + stock Gingerbread = total win :)
[LG Optimus 2x] svengalis:
Some Tmobile reps over at Tmonews have posted that the LG reps have come to their stores to demo the phone and that is stock android, has 4G and it is fast! Also the release date is supposedly April 20th alongside the G-slate. Heh can't wait to get this.

[LG Optimus 2x] hdurina:
I spoke to a Tmo rep yesterday...and probably the first guy who was totally knowledgeable about HD2 and its capabilities and such. I've asked several reps about the G2x and none of them seem to be even remotely aware. But after talkin for a while with this guy, I asked him about the G2x...and he said since I know this much, there's no harm confirming the arrival of the G2x...he said the launch shud be with 3-4 weeks after the launch at UK. More than likely, the speculated April 20th seems plausible. :) Can't wait!!

[Xoom General] Neo3D:
Can anyone report on some benchmark scores for the Xoom?

I found this one that Anandtech uses:

http://www.glbenchmark.com/download.jsp
[Xoom General] muyoso:
That is a good benchmark for general openGL performance testing. Others are:

Linpack to measure floating-point rate of execution = generally useless score.

Quadrant measures overall system performance

Smartbench 2011 measures general system performance

The xoom scores very well. The scores in GLBenchmarks will seem low, because all tests are run at the native resolution on each device. So a phone with a 480x800 resolution and a tegra 2 will get a much higher score than the xoom with the same processor and a 1280x800 resolution.
[Xoom General] Arcadia310:
Linpack is useless for dual-core devices, it only tests one core.
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
Good to know! Hopefully, there will be some dual core benchmarks coming out soon.
[Xoom General] js042507:
Smartbench 2011 just added dual core support! I haven't tried it yet, only quadrant, but am anxious to see the differences.

Sent from the most 'Epic' phone in the world! ...Using XDA Premium app :-)
[Xoom General] keitht:
It runs in a tiny little window on the Xoom. Don't think this is a worthy benchmark for tablets.
[Xoom General] DarkDvr:
Wow!

in SmartBench 2011 I got highest score there - 3895/2466. Some game scores were higher on other devices, but they were overclocked to hell.

I'm impressed.
[Xoom General] freemsk1:
My results are posted here (benchmark and quadrant) http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=173393&st=320#entry6752974
[Xoom General] Acei:
Hi guys,

I am the developer of Smartbench 2010/2011.

Basically, I use device independent pixel system for rendering those bitmaps. For some reason, Honeycomb doesn't work so well with DIP. I need to look into why.

On the other hand, I don't believe there's any other benchmarks that spawn multiple symmetric threads for performing multi-core benchmark tests. All CPU tests are absolutely not affected by the screen size/resolution at all, so it shouldn't matter. IMO, I think its a bit premature to deduce that it is not a worthy benchmark from this observation. :)

And as usual, I am open to suggestions!

(Oh and Hi Arcadia, long time no see! :D )

[Windows Phone 7 General] eviper21:
i spoke to a guy at ATT the other day and he told me that theyre going to be releasing a new wp7 for att in late march/ early april...

its supposed to be 4g the whole 9 yards i guess..

has anybody else heard of this or have any details on it??

im running 2g on an unlocked tmobile hd7 and its be good to have a similiar phone running on H+ or at least 3g
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Haven't heard anything myself. If they do, I just hope its an HTC solid body.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bennyj71:
I read a rumor on a site(WMpower?) that the hd7 may be coming. Don't know if that would help you out though
[Windows Phone 7 General] Aaron McCarthy:
Well.... the focus can do 4g speeds right now they just have it throttled down by default. So technically ATT already has a wp7 4g phone.

Focus 4G speed settings

I can tell you this much... Both my wife and I have the focus and after I applied the changes I was getting speeds on mobile speed test roughly 2 times faster then she was.... I was getting speeds between 2000 kbps (just under what they have 4G speeds at) and around 3000 kbps or more (well over what they have listed as 4G)

I just did a speed test a second ago and I'm at 2336 kbps.. my wife's is under 1000... same place.. same phone... way WAY different speeds
[Windows Phone 7 General] Michael-Dallas:
That's a bit misleading. The specs on the Samsung Focus state that it has HSDPA and HSUPA support, which equate to HSPA when both are enabled.

4G is considered to be LTE or WiMax (and even still, those technologies are considered pre-4G). The problem is that T-Mobile is marketing their HSPA+ network as a 4G network. Currently, Sprint has a 4G roadmap using Clear's WiMax network. Verizon has already begun building out their LTE network. AT&T is wrapping up their HSPA+ rollout before they begin on the LTE network. Since they are late in the marketing game, AT&T has gone to T-Mobile's level and marketed their HSPA+ network as 4G.

Ultimately, out of the 4 carriers above, T-Mobile will shoot themselves in the foot by not having a true 4G rollout plan and relying on marketing their HSPA+ network as 4G.

Bottomline -- Samsung Focus supports HSPA, not HSPA+ or LTE.

Michael.
[Xoom General] Arcadia310:
I picked up the Xoom on launch day and I've been pretty content with it so far, but I won't hide the fact that the device has a lot of random laggy moments, stutters, and glitches. Opening the app drawer looked like it was at 10fps, scrolling through the home screens would lag quite often, etc.

I don't know what happened, but after I just went into the android market to update my applications I swear my Xoom got a speed increase. Going through homescreens is super snappy now, it was never this smooth before. The app drawer looks great when you open/close it now, and everything just seems so snappy now. I was getting a little annoyed by all the home screen lag and random stutters, especially with a dual core processor that just shouldn't happen. I know other users have reported lag as well, has anyone else recently noticed a speed increase?
[Xoom General] HorsexD:
Since its that then im willing to bet that you had an app that was (before update) making your xoom seem slower than it should. Now that the app was updated, Xoom runs smoother. Thats my guess. :p
[Xoom General] Arcadia310:
People say that, but I doubt it dude! One application couldn't make the entire device sluggish like that
[Xoom General] ZBoater:
One application can hijack your Xoom and hose it up. All it takes is one....
[Xoom General] skullvet:
I also noticed the lag, and mine is gone now too. When I added my google account, all the apps from my phone were loaded onto my Xoom, plus it was downloading all of my picasa web pics. It was cool, but way too much going on and it installed way too many apps that were probably not cool with honeycomb.

I removed all of the apps and rebooted, and things run perfectly now.
[Xoom General] neonerz:
I agree with horsexd. I haven't really felt much lag...well besides in the accelerometer which I think was intended.
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
I noticed a drop in lag after restarting after initial boot.
[Xoom General] ChongoDroid:
Same after restart my xoom is lightening speed.
[Xoom General] setite:
I have found that once I got more comfortable with the xoom, I was going straight to what I needed. Not clicking too many things and going back because I meant to open something else.

I have the same experience on my phone.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Hmm. I've been in the market for the past 30 minutes and nothing has changed for me.

Rebooting my XOOM.

The honeycomb boot screen seems to be a bit faster.

[edit] I call shenanigans. The app screen is still choppy when I hit the apps drawer button.

Seems the same to me. Aside from pulling up the app drawer, it's been pretty snappy since I got it.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
whenever mine gets turned on, the little honeycomb looking animation is usually choppy. I think once it ran smooth, but it was uber choppy on this first turn on.
[Xoom General] Arun01:
I haven`t restarted my xoom but once since I got it and its blazing fast all the time.
[Nook Color General] LaHellya:
I can follow directions very well, but I don't have the knowledge to fix when things don't go perfectly.

I have rooted my NC running 1.1 with AutoNooter 3.0. No problems at all.

But I wanted to try Nookie Froyo, so I downloaded, unzipped and wrote 6.8 to my SD. After I power down my NC, insert my SD and power up, it goes through 2 loading screens and then it's completely black, except for Android in dos type font blinking in the upper left corner.

I tried searching the boards before posting, but I couldn't find anything. I also tried 6.7, with the same results.

Thanks.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Denavar:
Ahoy! I apologize in advance if this question has been asked and answered before (I'm sure it has - but I couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for via search.)

I currently have the Android Revolution HD v2.0.13 ROM installed.

I'm now looking to install Version 3.0. A 'full wipe' is suggested when flashing 3.0. I remember doing this via ClockworkMod recovery when I changed from my Stock ROM to ARHD, but I've forgotten exactly how to do it.

I see there are a lot of wipe/format options in ClockworkMod Recovery, but I just don't know exactly which one to use. :P

Any help would be much appreciated!

Bonus Question!: I've only had my phone for three weeks or so. The SD card has gotten /extremely/ messy due to faults of my own, mainly just lazyness. I'd like to just wipe the SD card of all data and start again fresh and clean. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it and will it mess up my ROM or anything? I'm OK with losing ALL my data and just having a freshly-installed ROM and nothing else.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] menov321:
Just go into clockword mod and choose install rom off sd or second option is to power off device and then hold down volume down key and power on...this will enable recovery console and there you can do a full wipe and then flash new rom ....make sure new rom is already on sd card.

As for sd card im not entirely sure but think you should be ok if you really wanted to wipe it....but probably be better off just trying to tidy it up .....up to you though

hope this helped
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Denavar:
Yeah, I know how to get into Clockworkmod Recovery and all, but to actually perform a 'full wipe', I don't know what option to choose specifically.

Thanks though!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] menov321:
......wipe data/factory reset is the one to choose.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_felge:
Hi,

You can either format your SD via ROM-Manager or CWM there's definitely an option for doing that but I can't remember where exactly!

Rgds
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Also wipe /cache and /dalvik-cache, these are actually the most important as this is where files reside that may cause you problems as it's not overwritten by flashing a new ROM.

As for clearing out the SD card, go ahead and format it if you want, the ROM will install all required folders on boot up so don't worry about losing anything important
