Hi All,
When I got my Galaxy S many months ago, just after UK launch, I then did a mod for the OS to run off the SD Card. I was happy with the speed and how it worked so intended to leave it as it is. However the SD card has crapped out on me so now I have a brick! I cannot even remember which version of the mod it was, there were so many at the time and I didn't intend to remove it. I am pretty sure it was the Mimocan fix from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724251. So how do I get the phone back to working stock, so I can start again?
Thanks in advance
noob with dead phone
Hi guys, I bought my first WM7 phone more or less a week ago. Returned home I updated my hd7 and it was ok.. Using the phone I saw that it reboot himself automatically sometimes and other times after the reboot he says me "Storage card not working"... I though that the problem was the update... I tried to downgrade but I failed this operation because I've never used a WP7, I had an iPhone... So.. I tried other times to downgrade but nothing.. Now my pc don't recognize the phone in boot manager mode (the colored screen) and it's not written USB or Serial on the bottom... I think I did a bad think...
Can you help me to repair my mobile?! What do you think i have to do for solve the rebooting problem?!
I also colled Htc support and they said me to send them the phone but I can't stay 2 weeks without my phone... My mobile is already under warranty for more or less one year.
Thank you very much to all.
P.S. Sorry for mistakes on my english hahahh
I had the same problem. It was when I changed my SD Card for 32GB. But the card were too slow. I changed the SD for another ( and faster) 32 GB SD, and it correct the problem.
But, when you change the SD card, you braek the warranty.
If you want to keep your warranty, you have only 1 choice : send your Phone to HTC.
Sorry.

ok , now my note just got back from jtag repair,
the story is that
i am using jelly bean, and all of you know that jb has memory leak problem, so i wa looking to use swap file to increase my ram
and i found that note core v4.1 has swap support, so i installed it and used swapper 2 [stupid aha?]
after that i choosed to use swap partition after i partitioned my sd card via recovery,
and then i just choosed the swap file to be put in mdbl0ck3, don't know why i choosed this partition, i think i see it in an article over the internet
and then all things go fine, the swap file is running, till i restarted my phone, and then it just dead, no jig, download mode, or any sign of life,
i knewed that it is the hard brick, but i never knew it will occure while using swap file, any way, i just recieved my phone from jtag, thanks gud that there are some few people can use jtag in Egypt, and all things is fine now, i just wanted to warning u to not try to use swap partition, or any swap to be 100% safe
I think its not emmc bug, because in the first place you said its jtag repairable and 2nd you use notecore that will not trigger emmc erase. Emmc bug is no way can be repaired by jtag at the moment. When you mentioned about jb rom and emmc bug i was alarmed, i thought, the jb rom has emmc bug issue again, you know its my last hope of resolving this issue.
Yea. Just cuz you got a brick doesn't mean that it's an emmc brick bug.
Like a tree is a plant, but that doesn't mean that all plants are trees.
Anyways, I'm sure this warning might be of use to others.
Disagree
ROM: Liquid Black
Kernel: Hyrdacore 4.3b - STD
Used Swapper for the entire duration i was on Jelly Core Build 2, Build 3 and V2.
Question: Where did you save the swap file?
Swap files are rumoured to kill off SD cards. Your Internal Memory card is nothing more than a glorified SD card.
try Dr.Ketan's method and see if you can revive your phone. All the best.
OK it may not be emmc brick, but my phone was dead and survived only with tag, I used sawpper and frist I chossed to save it to my sdcard, but the kernel was deleting the swap file, and was killing the program, so I decided to use swap partition, and after I restarted my phone, it just dead, don't know what exactly happened, I tried to save the swap in mdblck03, and 2, but I think it is killed by saving in mdblck03, any way I though this may help others to not try swap partition.

The brick is fault Swapper 2. Don't work at all. I've bricked my i9001 with this stupid app. Many negative comments in the store confirm it.

Hi Evaworld,
I heve been using Swapper 2 with CM 10.0 and with Hydracore 7 and Nirvana core N6 without any problem for a months and i have made with a partitioning tool the swap partition on the end of my SD card. If you read my post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2209526 ,
you will see that I have ecountered already two soft bricks but I still don't know the reason for it and I forgot to mention that I used in both cases of brick the swap partition too, on same manner as you did i,t because it worked before without any problem with CM 10.0.
With original stock ROM it wouldn't work and it could only make swap file on internal memory and it wouldn't use swap partition because it wasn't supported by the stock kernel. But I also had enabled to save swap to "mdblck03" as it's by default in the swapper2 advanced settings.
Even more I have ever used swapper2 for one of my colegue at his LG optimus L7 with a same result, and there was also swap not supported by stock kernel, but there I used and "V6 supercharger" to gain at speed, and it happened the speed and responses of the phone was much better but when the phone fist time was powered off it was bricked. It was repaired for free by LG service by reflashing software.
So, just same as in my story about the brick of my N7000, I don't know what has caused the bricks and I didn't suspect of Swapper2 but now I'm really curios what it caused ?
And it wasnt EMMC brick, same as it wasn't by your phone, but it's just a soft brick and it will be nice if someone who has more experience to enlighten this for us ...:good:
Greetz !

Hi Evaworld,
I just need to know where you fixed using JTAG as I have a Galaxy Tab 7 plus and it is dead now and I live in Egypt. I went to an Authorised Samsung Distributor but they couldn't fix it.
Thanks in advance.
finally i bought ZR it's the best mobile i ever bought , but the internal memory is really bad , i just installed Real Racing 3 and some games then its full ! i won't root it to get the official updates and the warranty , so is there any way to solve the problem without rooting the device ?!
Sorry but I don't think so and it s going to be even more complicated with the Kitkat update...
If you want to install games you ll need to root, then install foldermount.
Hello Guys,
so my Moto G2 had a little MAC Address failure... Every reboot I had a new MAC Address.
So I just DOWNGRADED(AGAIN), but without flashing the bootloader(motoboot, gpt..) and then I upgraded, because I was on CM13. But it doesn't matter if you don't downgrade the bootloader or not(FFS).
I have a full image dump with 8 GB on my GDrive Folder, and I posted it here.
I "burned" the image with "dd" on my linux machine to my external SD, it was successfully burned, but the phone won't start.
If anyone knows which partitions I should extract for creating a blank flash file(I don't know how to do this), PLEASE TELL ME.
The phone is blinking as well, without reaction. It connects and disconnects always as the Qualcomm HQ Loader Interface in my Device Manager, but I don't know what I should do next.
Maybe any key sequences??? Please, let us all know what you tried.
I have the technical understanding in Linux and Windows. You just have to say me anything I can do.
Regards

You can do a "DD" from linux to your device without problem again?
No.. dd to my sdcard.
But it doesn't matter. I threw the phone away and then I had a really hard brick how it sounds(full broken screen and the case was damaged). Now I give up and buy a new phone.
The phone will not boot from sdcard if you write the full backup image to the card.

Yes I know, my emotional stress was in the way. But **** off, I don't want to have 3 times the same phone.
So, go for the Moto G4 Plus. It's no problem
