[Q] Please help my Cappy! (Hard Brick possibly)

No download mode or recovery. Just boots to that crashed screen. I tried making a jig but the phone would not boot from 300 or 301k ohm resistor. So I only have the att screen, crash screen and I also get the battery screen when I attempt to go into download mode. PLEASE HELP!

You're not hard bricked, hard brick, you'd have nothing at all. try to pull your battery for a couple min. Put it back in and try your jig again(I'll assume it has worked before)
Also, what were you doing that caused this?
What did you have installed for a ROM?
Also, I'm at work and they block youtube, so I can't see your video, can you upload a photo of your screen error

You need GB bootloaders, that is what is wrong, why don't people read anymore

I'm sorry. My mistake was that I did not flash GB bootloader and I attempted to install a GB rom through CWM. My bad.
Download mode doesn't seem to work and I'm not positive my Jig works as I just got the resistors from radioshack and am touching the two pins but the phone does nothing. If I hold both volume buttons while plugging in usb it will have the circle icon and then go to the battery charging screen.

heres a screenshot from his youtube vid for reference.
is this what happens when you dont have the gingerbread bootloaders??

when just using your fingers to do quick jig, make sure your fingers arent touching both sides of the resistor! your finger creates a parallel path that alters the total resistance. its really complicated...... USE TAPE TO HOLD YOUR "jig"

Yahh that is the result of no GB bL and Gb ROM! I'm not mad just people screw stuff up and ask for help when its too late.
Nobody minds helping you if your phone isn't bricked yet, but to fix bricked phones over text isn't easy

I tried all the download mode methods. It appears that the actual download mode has the same "crash screen" issue then just resets.

To be fair. I just rooted and rom'd my ex girlfriends captivate a couple of months ago. Something went wrong in the usual process.

I'll try again. But I think the download mode part of the phone is corrupt as well.

Not working..

I've tried through this..

Now that's odd..

Just found out that if I plug my Revo into my new laptop before powering on the damn thing refuses to boot! I can only assume the bios is set with boot from USB but I'm too lazy right now to verify. : p

The laptop won't turn on? Actually very common on Windows and you're right, it's because of the BIOS. Unless you do quite a bit of tinkering, Windows will not boot with another device plugged in to the USB.

You never heard of the "stick a cheap usb drive in the back of your friends PC and laugh as he won't be able to turn on the comp" prank?

Most laptops don't have the option to boot anything from USB which is why it doesn't boot up. Desktop computers do though because of the mouse and keyboard.

My laptop always has something connected through the USB when it boots. I have 2 external hard drives that are always connected.

You are mostly right. Most newer laptops can boot from USB if the flash drive/device is bootable and you set boot priority in bios. Otherwise Windows mounts the devices after it is booted. If you set bios for main Hard Drive to boot before USB devices then you wouldn't have to unplug your phone. But you most likely have USB set to boot before HD and it looks for the boot sector of the device.

Minidump file - anyone lend a hand reading it?

I just had a BSOD – freaked me out because I'm working on assignments at the moment and a dead PC would be disastrous.
I tried installing the debugging tool to read it but it tells me it couldn't locate the file path during installation – its sounding like its just not liking its own install exe...
I'm using Windows Vista, and I did go for the right version as far as I'm aware, so I'm not sure what's going on. I tried downloading it again etc, no luck. I'll probably spend as much time trying to sort out the debugging tool's issues as working out a solution for whatever caused the crash... so...
If someone who has the debugger installed is feeling like generating some positive karma for themselves by doing a quick read-over as to suspected problem I'd be immensely grateful (this doesn't do justice to how grateful I'd be...)
minidump is below:

Use Windows 7 or XP.
Usually a normal restart works. Although, it might be a good idea to find out the reason for the BSOD.

Yeah, well aware of Vista's issues. Its been pretty much fine, until this BSOD.
Parents' PC is XP but not at home for a few weeks, and have assignments to do in that time, hence wanting to know if there's something I should be doing to stop a more catastrophic event...

Just one BSOD?
Wouldn't crap your pants over that to be honest..............

Have you installed something recently out of the ordinary?

Nope.
The reason I'm more concerned about this BSOD is that my graphic card has had a tendency to overheat if I play games and shuts itself off to prevent damamge, and even with simple things like word processing / net surfing it sits in the 70sC if I don't force the fan up to 60%.
Case cover is off to help - it started happening after coming back from holidays. Cleaned it out best I could but didn't help the overheat issue, so some mysterious thing happened to it while I was gone.
If it is the graphic card that's caused that BSOD then I need to seriously bring forward my plans to upgrade my PSU to get a newer card before it causes any significant dmage to other parts.
I was putting it off until holidays (in 3 weeks now, but been happening since Feb).

It's things like this that make me glad that I've stayed on xp for all these years. Have you tried a restore point? I think it could be your graphics card doing it when it shuts itself down.

Yeah, but restore back to what, exactly? I didn't install anything recently?
Either way, I've had a chance to upload the minidump into dropbox, in case anyone reading wants to have a look at it..

Htc desire c constant charging problem

My brothers htc desire c is stuck with the phone saying it is charging while no charger is plugged in. Have tried reset, battery pull, and hard reset. We are thinking its a hardware issue due to the fact that it does not charge while the cord is plugged in. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks I advance.

Have you tried flashing a custom rom?
Anyways, I had a Sony Ericsson that did that. It said it was charging but it wasn't, it had one of those weird set of copper (I think) plates that were used for USB connection, charging and headphones. It derped and it was showing a charging animation constantly.
It was an old phone so I just used clean alcohol to clean the plates and it kinda fixed itself, although I do not recommend doing that for your device, because it has a different hardware setup.

With stock sense and a stock kernel it may also be a kernel issue as the kernel contains the Charging Animation configuration and stuff, although flashing a custom Rom would probably solve the problem, although if still under manufacturers warranty send it back and get a new one before voiding anything..

No the phone is not rooted. It will not even connect to the computer through usb. I am beginning to think its somthing to do with the usb port on the phone. I might go ahead and try the alcohol thing. Thanks will update.

Before you do whatever, send it to the manufacturer if in warranty. Also USB ports work different from Sony erricson connection thingies, so be really careful what you do with it.

My Z is Randomly shutting down after lollipop

First of all, Am I the only one getting these problems I mentioned here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62087806
My phone was fine with kitkat. But after the lollipop update it's going crazy. It suddenly powers off during usage. The only time it doesn't is when it's connected to the charger.
Sometimes I am using the and my battery is about 60% then it shuts down and after I turn it the battery becomes about 27% but most of the times this doesn't happe
I confirm that my battery is good and it was working perfectly before the lollipop update. It seems problem with the system related to the battery
Anything I can do to solve this or stop it from shutting down? Like controlIing the system permissions to make the system lose its permission to shutdown itself.
I did the stupid pcc that doesn't fix any of the phone stupid updates from sony. Also Factory reseted phone.
Note: My phone is rooted. I am using super su
The problem appeared before rooting. I didn't do any critical mods until now. No costom roms, Karnel or recovery. Bootloader locked
The problem doesn't dissappear even with clean stock system after pcc and factory reset
Help pls

About 10 mins agoMy battery was 60% off charger and shutted down. I plugged the charger and turned it on. It became 17%. I just opened xda on taptalk and wrote this topic, then suddenly noticed it became 88% and charging very faster than usual. It's 88% and says 4 mins until full charge.
Now after writing this it stopped at 95% saying 2 mins until full charge

Did you try to flash a .ftf file with flashtool? I'd give it a try, backup your data first, and make sure to completely wipe it

OK I'll try that as soon as possible, But now I don't have enough time to do that. I will probably do it after two weaks because currently I am having some exams.
Is their another solution that doesn't take much time to test/try until then?
Thanks Jimmy for replying

None that I know, you already tried most of the things... Btw: Is there any app that is running when your phone shuts down?

There is nothing like something stopped working or app affecting the phone as I tried it with clean stock system.
OK luckily I didn't remove my first backup after I did the pcc, so no need to backup again. I will try with the flash tool when the ftf download complete.
