Damage my accelerometer I think :(

Dropped my phone to carpet, about 2 ft drop but now the accelerometer acts all funky, is there a way to calibrate it? or fix it?
Thanks

The suggested calibration for the accelerometer is to open an application that uses it, hold the phone in front of you and make kind of a figure 8 pattern with your wrist.
It has worked for me a few times but not because i've dropped it, it just gets "stuck" sometimes.
Hope that helps.

I had a similar issue where the accelerometer randomly stops working properly. I was about to call T-Mobile for a replacement phone but I tried doing a factory reset and it started working again.

A 2 ft drop to carpet probably didn't damage anything. How is it acting funky? If it's "stuck" you can smack it against the top of your hand.

It leans way to the right, I have tried bubble, labyrinth and pappijump, it's the same for all three apps
Thanks

shake shake baby
Hi, this has happened to me on occasion. I just shook the thing really hard vertically up and down.

I know this is what Nintendo recommends when Wii controllers are acting weirdly. Just smack the phone against your hand a few times (of course, try at your own risk). Can't get any worse.

I got same problem ,..just with the dif that the keybord to haz problems now.. i don get light on the keys (( any1 there that knows if i can fix it?

I had the problem where the accelerometer did not work at all anymore. A wipe helped, but since I did not want to lose all my data, I figured out, how to do it without wiping:
1. Do a backup of your data (nandroid is best)
2. Reboot your phone to recovery console (home+power)
3. Enter recovery console
4. mount /data
5. Delete *.dex in /data/dalvik-cache
6. Reboot and wait (reboot takes longer this time)
If this doesn't fix it for you:
All steps above apply, but in step 5 delete/move/rename the file /data/misc/akmd_set.txt (also in recovery console). It will be recreated. Can't tell you if this fixed it or not, because I did both things at the same time. Sorry ;-)
DON'T try this while NOT in the recovery console! You will lose space on the /data partition because of a bug!! ONLY do this in the recovery console where no system is running.

Thanks! The second one worked for me.

Can you post more in depth instuctions on doing this? Please?

I only tried this with a JF image. You definitely need root to do this.
1. Turn your phone off
2. Hold Home/House button and press red power button. Release red then home button
3. G1 should boot with lots of text into a menu
4. Press Alt+b to backup everything (optional)
5. Then Alt+x to boot into a console (press enter when prompted)
6. type "mount data" + enter
7. type "rm data/misc/akmd_set.txt" + enter
8. type "reboot" plus enter to reboot
9. Have fun with accelerometer again
More detailed than this is not possible. Hope this helps

That is more info than I needed but I'm sure if will help others, Thank you Dicer

appstosd
Hi,
What would be the command line for appstosd? I ve tried your instructions but I ve got nothing in data folder because of appstosd. Please help

For apps2sd you probably need to mount /system/sd and delete the file off there.
6. type "mount /system/sd" + enter
7. type "rm /system/sd/data/misc/akmd_set.txt" + enter
Haven't tried it though. Let us know if it works.

follow as above and yeah! working again...after trying for so long to recover....haha feel so good.....

mine stopped working and i wiped myphone and it worked again. =D

Is this a possiple way to fix the calibration issue on rosie? It aborts, so maybe it was looking is the wrong spot to rewrite the file

[Q] How do I exit the Recovery Console?

I'm using JF 1.42 RC33 and went to the recovery and cannot leave. I've tried Home and Back, Talk, Menu, and Power, and typing exit. Nothing has worked please help.

hold hold+back....or remove battery

Do you mean recovery console or recovery mode? in recovery console, which is what you get when you hit alt+x, type reboot to exit. In recovery mode, if home+back doesn't reboot, try pulling the battery.

Newbie on a mac, please check my rooting steps...

I'm using some guys guide for mac users:
1. Take a deep breath. It is just software and you are going to master it!
2. Download and install the Mac OSX Android SDK. I am going to assume for the purposes of this list that you have put it in /Applications/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/ but it doesn't matter.
3. Get fastboot-mac from here. Rename it 'fastboot' and put it in /Applications/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/.
4. Get Radio_20100203_2_Signed_PASSION.img,
update-cm-5.0.4.1-N1-signed.zip AND gapps-passion-ERE36B-2-signed.zip
from here and put them in /Applications/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/.
5. Get recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.2.img from here and put it in /Applications/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/
6. Put Get Radio_20100203_2_Signed_PASSION.img,
update-cm-5.0.4.1-N1-signed.zip and gapps-passion-ERE36B-2-signed.zip
on the root of the SD card. You can do this by mounting the phone via a USB cable (this works just like any USB stick except you have to click a button on the phone's UI).
7. In your phone settings > applications > development, set usb
debugging to enabled.
8. Turn off your phone and put the SD card with the 3 files on it
into your phone.
9. Hook up the USB connection to your phone and your mac.
10. Reboot phone into fastboot: Hold down trackball, push the power
button and hold both until you see the fastboot screen. (The fastboot
screen is the one with the Androids on skateboards)
11. In Terminal on your mac, cd to /Applications/android-sdk_mac_86/tools
12. Type ‘./fastboot devices‘ to make sure your phone is recognized
(it should list a device number rather than simply returning to
command prompt with no feedback).
13. Type ‘./fastboot oem unlock‘ to unlock the bootloader (wohoo, your phone is now rooted!)
14. Use volume keys on the phone to navigate to yes and press the
power button to confirm.
15. When the phone finishes booting, in your phone settings >
applications > development, set usb debugging to enabled, then power
it down.
16. Reboot phone into fastboot: Hold down trackball, push the power
button and hold both until you see the fastboot screen. (The fastboot
screen is the one with the Androids on skateboards)
17. (you're still in terminal in /Applications/android-sdk_mac_86/tools)
Type ‘./fastboot flash recovery ./recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.2.img‘. (Note
filename will change as recovery image is updated)
18. Type './fastboot flash radio ./Radio_20100203_2_Signed_PASSION.img'
to also update your radio at this point
19. Once the Recovery flash is complete (should be almost instant),
press the Power Button. The highlighted blue text should now say
HBOOT. Use the volume down button to highlight "Recovery" and hit the
power button to reboot into recovery.
20. if this step fails, power down the phone, and try this: hold down
the VOLUME DOWN button and then hold the POWER button until you get to
the skateboard screen; use volume down to highlight RECOVERY and hit
the POWER button
21. You should now be in the Recovery screen after a reboot -- this
screen has 9 green text options at the top and an android x in the
center of the screen
22. Once in Recovery Mode, use the trackball to scroll down to
"Backup/Restore" and press the trackball three times, and wait until
the backup is complete.
23. Once backup is complete, wipe, since you're coming from stock
(even fastboot oem unlock may not fully wipe, do it just in case) many
users report the phone not booting properly without a wipe at this
point.
24. Scroll down to "Flash zip from sdcard", and press the trackball.
25. Select the CyanogenMod update (update-cm-5.0.4.1-N1-signed.zip),
and press the trackball again to confirm. Wait until the flash is
complete. (Note: this will take a little while).
26. Once again, Scroll down to "Flash zip from sdcard", and press the trackball.
27. This time, select the Google Apps File
(gapps-passion-ERE36B-2-signed.zip), and press the trackball again to
confirm. Wait until the flash is complete.
28. Once you are back in the main menu, press the trackball select the
first option (Reboot system now) and reboot the phone.
29. If everything was done correctly, the phone should boot into CyanogenMod!

My few questions...
Do I really need SDK? I've been reading a lot, and some say use it, some don't mention it.
I've already found that some of his files are updated, so I'd be using the more recent ones.
Also, I'm thinking that I'm NOT going to mess with the radio. I don't have to, right?
ETA: And then I see that his post says nothing about superboot. Am I supposed to do both? Fastboot and then superboot?
And then another question... I plan on getting a 16gb class 6 sd card. Should I wait to do this until I get that? Will I have to do it all over again?
Thanks!!

I am by no means a pro at this, but to answer a a question or 2 of yours...
I never bothered using the SDK. I did download it, but like you, I followed other instructions that did not tell you to use the SDK.
The important part is to put all the downloaded files into your renamed "fastboot" folder, where fastboot will know where to look for it.
Concerning the radio, some ROMS may or may not require different radios, but for the simple process of rooting your phone, I'm pretty sure you're cool.
I used fastboot, but superboot (if I understand it correctly) is a total tool for your use. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it takes the place of all the steps you listed above, and does it all in one command.
Good luck! Its easy, and it sounds like you have all the tools you need!

1) I didn't flash a new radio when I rooted mine (didn't for a couple of weeks until I was comfortable with flashing and abd and stuff). The radio is evidently the greatest risk of bricking the phone.
2) I've typically seen "superboot" to refer to a rom image that modaco hosts that includes the superuser perms and apk and not as a tool (as fastboot is referred to). ymmv.

[Q] [Need Help] Can't boot???

Hi all
Now,I'm using Note 3 AT&T (N900A). When I am using Odin to go to Recovery, then press Fail Odin, then I can not turn it on. Now, I can not use any buttons on the machine. When I press the Power button, the machine does not vibrate. The screen is dark. Anyone can help me? Thanks so much!!
P/s: sorry about my English.
Follow instructions word for word, take your time and go slow
1.Download the (alreadykitkat.zip) if you haven't done so yet.
2. Extract it to somewhere on your desktop or PC
3.Copy “Safestrap-Custom.apk” to your phones internal memory, and install it. Make sure you install recovery from within safestrap app, or verify that it is installed
4.Next copy the rom to your phones internal memory(it’s called XNote Port.zip)
5.Boot into download mode (power off, then hold-Volume down, Home and power button at same time
6.Open the “Togetsafestrap” folder and open Odin (win 7 and 8 users may need to run with administrator rights). Add the correct partition Files,
Make sure the files or AP_N900AUCUBMJ5.tar.md5 and BL_N900AUCUBMJ5.tar.md5 and verify your Odin window looks like this picture
7.Click start. Now when the phone is booting up make sure to click “recovery” on the safestrap screen.
(If you missed it just hold down, power button until phone reboots)
8. You can wipe before flashing (Optional) if you want a clean install. Flash the X-Note Port.zip to Stock slot,
But don’t reboot when done,
9. Keep hitting the back button until you see the reboot menu button
Press reboot menu button and select download mode button. Or if you messed up and rebooted just Press Volume down, Home and power button at same time until your back in download mode.
10. Now open the folder “togetbooting” and open Odin. Select the correct partition Files, Make sure you select AP_N900AUCECMGL.tar and BL_N900AUCECMGL.tar and verify your Odin window looks like this picture
11. Click start

Sorry your phone isn't responding. Since you can't get into download mode, I recommend trying this method to restore.

[Q] HTC One stuck on splash screen. Is there any way to access files?

My friend has a stock HTC One phone that he brought back from overseas. He said all of a sudden the phone gets stuck on the splash screen with the beatsaudio at the bottom and will not go pass that. I have installed HTC Sync and plugged in the phone. Most of the drivers install but I get a "MTP USB device failed to start" and I have a yellow exclamation point for that device in the device manager. I have also tried accessing from HBOOT but the only thing that happened was an installation of a HTC one driver when I clicked on fastboot. As you can see I'm pretty new to this and need help accessing the files stored on the phone before I attempt to do a factory reset.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

you can pull files from the phone using ADB commands from custom recovery (CWM or TWRP)
adb pull <remote> <local>
i.e:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard C:\Backup
will pull all files from /sdcard to a ''Backup'' folder on your C: drive

Do I need to install CWM or TWRP on the phone first in order to use it? If so, how can i without being able to get pass the splash screen or without being able to access the storage on my pc's windows explorer?

Hold power and down to get to the bootloader. If you don't have a custom recovery already you have a problem. I'm assuming not because you said it was stock. The only way to flash a recovery is if the bootloader is unlocked. If the phone is s on and the bootloader is locked you have to use the htcdev option to unlock it which will wipe the phone....
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I guess he's screwed then. Phone is completely stock...no custom recovery was ever installed prior to this issue and it does show "Lock" at the top of the bootloader. Is there no other way to access the data???

Try this:
Step 1: Press and hold the Volume Down key.
Step 2:With the Volume key held down, press and hold the Power key till the phone switches off. Continue to hold both the volume down and power keys until the screen lights up again with a White Screen and Lots of writing
Step 3:When you see Three Android robots on skateboards,
Release the Power and Volume down key.
Then tap the Volume down key once to highlight RECOVERY
Press and release the Power key to Activate Recovery
Then screen will change to a series of backgrounds
Step 4: At the screen with a red triangle and a phone,
Hold the Volume Up key and press the power button.
Step 5: Use the volume down key to tap down to highlight WIPE CACHE PARTITION
Then tap the power key to select the Wipe Cache Partition.
You will see the yellow writing come up to confirm the Wipe Cache Partition
Step 6:After This has been completed,
Use the power key to reboot your phone.
NOTE: THIS WILL NOT DELETE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
