[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus Rockstar:
hey guys need a hand to work out if this device can be fixed at all.

the phone is a mates and it wont boot into android at all. can get into the boot loader and thats it. can someone help to give me a place to start?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
If it boots to bootloader it is OK.

Can you get into FASTBOOT or Recovery?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus Rockstar:
yeah but does nothing :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
What does it mean nothing?

You can try flashing a RUU for your phone. Find them here.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zheiko:
Before you do anything, try to take off the SD card, and see if it boots. This happened to me just few days ago, and tbh my SD card got f***ed for some reason, so it didnt allow my phone to boot, I had access to Recovery, there I tried to clear dalvik cache, cache and restore factory settings, where it was freezing on formating EXT2 part... then I took the SD out and phone booted charmingly... so try this one out to see if its not the SD problem
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus Rockstar:
how do i know which one to flash?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
you need to supply details of the rom that was on the phone.

is it rooted?

what was the original rom?

is it branded etc?

theres not much help to be given unless you give us these details...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus Rockstar:
hboot 0.93

RADIO 5.11.05.27

dunno anything else :S
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
what country is it from?

any branding on it? eg, Orange apps / Tmobile apps..??

rooted? you should know this!!!

has the rom been changed since new?

EDIT - is it still under warranty?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus Rockstar:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace_co:
first of all let me say that i've don a lot of searching before posting this, and i know it seems pretty long but please try to help me.

i got an x10i from a friend few days a go. the reason i got it (for free) was because it's not working and he didnt want to mess with it anymore.

when i first got it, if i tried to turn it on, the led would flash red. once in a while it got turned on, the sony ericsson text appeared for a few seconds and went off again. now if i try to turn it on the led would flash green for a sec, there is a vibrate but thats it. screen wont turn on at all.

i'f i try to connect it in the SE PC suite it detects it, but fails installing it. i've managed to enter the repair tool, but it failed a few times. however, the last time i tried to repair it said that it was repaired succesfully. still, not turning on.

tried to flash a firmware via flashtool, seems like its going well all the way but in the end it says "error flashing. aborted".

i'm pretty much out of ideas now, so ill really be grateful if anyone could help me.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace_co:
a little update:

i've manged to flash a firmware via flashtool and it finished without any error, but still it won't turn. only the quick green flash and vibration.

any help will be appreciated.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace_co:
ok, big update:

the phone is starting, i get past the boot animation and see the main screen (!) but after a sec or 2 the screen freezes and the phone shut down and won't start again unless i replace the battery?

please? anyone? im feeling so close yet so far away. could be a battery issue? when the screen starts i see that the battery is almost empty (connecting it to the charger won't help)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiLiHEAD:
Yesterday i had the same problem ... i had to flash the hole firmware with X10Flash-2.1 and then updating with seus.. after this it restarts and it boot correctly :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangenhao:
Not sure if u tried this, try having the phone plugged into the charger and let it charge for a while and then try booting it up again. Firmware wise, I would try a stable 2.1 or the freex10 beta 2.2 for a start to ensure that the software installed are stable ones. Hope this help.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawkysoft:
try to fix it with seus...

nothing else willing to work as it seems there is something wrong a little deeper than flashable files...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
This is I believe 1000th thread about this.

1. run seus

2. run PCC

3. run flashtool

Done.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
SEUS seems to be the most effective way of repairing this.. Although you might also want to try pulling the battery before it freezes, it can help to recalibrate the battery.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace_co:
thanks to everyone who replied.

i've downloaded and installed on the phone the version by SEUS, but i still cant turn on the phone.

in PC companion nothing is happening. when i go to the support section to get the new version, it just connecting with the phone and then tells to disconnect the phone and turn it on (which of course don't happen).

i've tried to run a repair in PC suite but it fails.

i've also tried to flash a firmware in flashtool, but it also fails.

any ideas?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simoking:
Davinciteam.com .they sell you the original 1.6
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace_co:
and how the 1.6 will help me?

and another thing: i'm using the versions under x10i generic here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746

with the first and the third ones i get an error, but with the second i don't. however the device still won't turn on.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace_co:
is there any chance that because i'm using win 7 64 bit it causes problems?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace_co:
please?...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangenhao:
If i am not wrong windows 32/64 bit does not affect how ur phone is gonna be installed since the installer that is downloaded is for the phone only and the installation process will only be done by the phone itself.

Not sure if u tried a different software such as xrecovery to install the OS into ur x10, since xrecovery with freex10beta4 works for almost all of the users in here, it should work for u if ur x10 has no hardware faults. If all still fails, it might be most probably your x10 hardware has failed or something along those lines.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simoking:
It work for me, then with the 1.6 you can after that update with seus to 2.1update 1. If your phone doesn't work anymore you have nothing to lose.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawkysoft:
the original 1.6 is on this forum also... please make some commercials somewhere else... k thanks...

4 out of the 9 posts u made had something to do with this website... could you stop please?

@the win7 part... you could get problems if you dont got the right drivers but it would tell you or error out...

the only thing what you could do in my opinion that is is short the pins while battery has been removed

this should effect total emptied phone and hopefully also the memory.... maybe than you are capable to flash/start it...

now if this wont work.. im sorry but im out of ideas and u shud use it to make a new barn or house ;/ im sorry
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simoking:
Didn't know the 1.6 was on the forum, thanks for the cue. I won't talk about that anymore.

Hi,

I've got a problem with camera in LG E900. I used this ROM: DZ_LG-E900AT-00-V10b-260-XXX-NOV-09-2010+0

After flashing camera aplication hangs up and back to main menu.

Please, help

Ad1. I'm just ending flashing again my phone. And this time i used Open Europe ROM, and still cannot use camera. When i push a cam button or choose a camera aplication, program start up and back to main menu. I'm very very angry and I have no ideas haw to ..... :( I think that I say sorry ma HTC Desire with Android 2.2 and LG will go to trashcan :(
[Optimus 7 General] plushack_lodz:
I close thread. I did it. Thanx a the.rider1290. I was flashed again polish rom and did factory rest from MFG. And now, camera works perfectly.
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
I am happy you found the solution. Sometimes the firmware and the hardware may not match.
[Optimus 7 General] plushack_lodz:
Yeah I know but is one thing what is very important. I unpluged battery for a few minutes. After this I did factory reset in MFG.

But right know i'm "fighting" with ****in MMS. It dosn't work without Internet conection by EDGE or 3G. When I'm choicing in MFG Set network profiles, MFG shut down and phone goes back to Main Menu in WP7. I'm very pissing off :[
[Optimus 7 General] dsknkt:
Got exactly the same camera problem after flashing my optimus using DZ_LG-E900AT-00-V10b-202-XXX-NOV-09-2010+0 rom.

How did you find out which is the right version for yours? I'm lost.
[Optimus 7 General] plushack_lodz:
I'm from Poland. My firmware is ROM: DZ_LG-E900AT-00-V10b-260-XXX-NOV-09-2010+0. The number: 260 in firmware name means it is polish firmware (not exactly polish, Eastern Europe firmware with polish language support). I have to use this one cause I will not able to upgrade to full polish version in future. You should find your national version or use Open Europe ROM, but this one dosn't work with my phone.

Try remove battery for a few minutes. It works for me.
[Optimus 7 General] dsknkt:
Everything ok! I did remove the battery for a few minutes and the problem is now gone ;-)
[HD2 General] cromagnon17:
Recently, I've been using my Leo to view scanned maps, large JPEG files 10 to 20 MB, something like 3000x5000 pixels or bigger. Of course, in order to see the full details, I need a 100 %zoom, that is - pixel to pixel. The problem is, no picture viewer or manager I tried, allows me too see those maps in full. Here are some problems :

1. HTC albums - the Zoom In function is limited to 50% or worse, there are a couple of threads here about that - none answered with a solution

2. Default Windows Mobile viewer goes to 100% from the Zoom Toolbar , but if I try to move in another portion of the image after a few moves, or after Zoom Out - it says "Cannot complete the requested action. Out of memory". In Task Manager I see Pictures & Videos is using maximum 10.5 MB of RAM (while I still have 250 Mb free). From there on, there nothing useful can be done with it, it keeps saying the "Out of memory ..."

3. Resco Photo Manager 7.10 - for large files it has the same limited Zoom In as HTC Albums, although in a more perverse way : the view is pixelated at 100% - which means is a fake 100%. In Task Manager I see Resco Photo Manager tries hard not to use more than ... 3 MB of RAM !!! There's no setting for the amount of RAM that can be used by the software ...

So the question is : is there a picture viewer who can take advantage of the great hardware of HD2 ?
[HD2 General] johnerz:
I suspect that its due to the very large size of the files you are viewing a 10 or 20 mb file the phone needs much more space than that available to be able to view it - no different on a PC

at default its not viewing at 3000x5000 pixels more like 800 X 600
[HD2 General] cromagnon17:
In Windows XP, I see the default Pictures and Videos Viewer (rundll32.exe) takes 210MB for a 20 MB jpeg file.

So there is enough room in HD2's memory. Maybe WinMo imposes a RAM limit on processes, like XP's limit of 1.5 GB, but much lower ...

Anyhow, I can't understand why the image viewer don't selectively load only the portion of the file displayed on screen ... if RAM is too low.

The conclusion is : no good image viewer under WinMo 6.5 :(

How do install it on my dhd with leedroid rom?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] raze599:
You have to use root explorer to find bootanimation.zip. That is the standard one. Then you just move the new bootanimation.zip into that directory and get rid of the old one. I prefer to rename the old one and not delete it. The file called android_audio.mp3 is the boot up sound. You can change it if you want or just rename/delete it if you dont want it.

is it possible to install jolicloud since its an ubuntu based system?
[Streak 5 General] beginner:
Newbie questions, sorry....

Before to try this port, just some maybe stupid questions for you:

- Still working the phone function?

- Is it easy to go back to standard or Steve Streaks Roms?

- Are there lack of drivers for bluetooth, gps, audio, wifi, etc?

Thanks.
[Streak 5 General] Haxxa:
No your missing the point here, this isn't an OS separate to android. Think of this as an app it runs on top of the android system. Also this is very experimental most features would be limited and no ubuntu can't be used as an smartphone os -No phone...
[Streak 5 General] pat.plus:
1) Ubuntu does not replace android, and the UI only runs in a VNC server, so you can switch back and forth between ubuntu and the phone app (or angry birds?)

2) I installed mine on top of DJ Steve's 1.8.1 rom... It's not native, so it only runs on top of android instead of replacing it

3) Haven't tried audio yet, but it should work (let me know how it goes)... internet connectivity works and provided you have an internet connection enabled in android you can use tools like APT or Firefox in ubuntu... only problem is keyboard is a bit wonky...

For those who had trouble figuring out how to set up the VNC, here is a picture of my VNC configuration on my phone. If you find out the phone's IP address you should even be able to VNC into it from your computer (if your on the same wifi network)

Also, openoffice.org

[Streak 5 General] ear0wax:
Is anyone actively attempting to get Ubuntu running native?
[Streak 5 General] www.cepdukkani.net:
audio not working

keyboard not working

also lots of lags.
[Streak 5 General] pat.plus:
Yes, i'm looking into it, but it's quite an uphill battle in order to get it working. I'll let everyone know when we make some progress.

cause you are running 2 operating systems at the same time :D

But seriously, if ubuntu can run native (no android in the background) then the lag would be gone, and (if set up right) audio and keyboard would work.

As for lag. I had a n900 running @600mhz and was doing a chroot into ubuntu and it ran fine, but it used xpyher not vnc. Is there any embedded X servers for android yet? (I highly doubt it)

Why is everyone posting questions in the dev section?
[Xoom General] AndroidFileHost:
Because they can't read
[Xoom General] ftgg99:
let me explain why...

its because i am a dev myself, and i have been here long enough to know that at this stage in a subforum's development no-one from the dev community ever looks in the general subsection

welcome to reality

also, you should understand this perfectly well having joined in 2009... or are you just a snob with a post count?
[Xoom General] Morkai Almandragon:
One might ask what he is implying you cannot read.
[Xoom General] AndroidFileHost:
Nothing we say will help. Makes me sad they don't know how to follow the rules and have common sense. :( All you get by posting a question in a dev forum instead of general or q/a is people telling you to post in the right thread. Just do it and they will help.
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
Maybe you'll get a better answer if you try posting in the right section for considering yourself a dev you're good at being stupid

[Xoom General] joeski27:
It's hilarious how so many people on forums get their geek tighty-whities in such a bunch when (god forbid!) people don't follow perfect forum etiquette, even when they have a legitimately good reason for doing so. Get over yourselves. :cool:
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
He had no good reason he considered himself a dev and yet doesn't have common sense to post his question in the right section
[Xoom General] freemsk1:
a Dev? Are you kidding? His app is still stuck on beta test stage and they couldn't make it done....
[Xoom General] ftgg99:
Perhaps if any of you tight-ass teenagers had read my reasons for posting in this subsection (its the third post, refer to it if you please), you would think again.

And my app is not stuck in beta, the draft is on the market and all the beta testers have already received their free rc. They are all happy with it.

If you really knew this forum, you would not be saying those silly, childish things. And if you dont know how to help, speak less lest you hinder instead.

I think if you posted in the right section this would have been answered regardless.... if you really knew this forum you would know that you were gonna get flamed.
[Xoom General] ftgg99:
Yeah... thats not what im looking for as its a cdma verizon only device at this point.

Also chongo, i know this forum, and i know flamers too. Theyre kids with nothing better to do. Again, refer to the third post in this thread for a grown-ups explanation.
