So Im rooted and what not. Got the unlock symbol and I have a decent amount of dust under my screen which is just irritating me even tho u can only see it when the screen is black but its getting worse. I am hesitant about this just cuz i dont wanna have to root and do everything over again, plus i have some nice engraving on my phone. Any who, I am wondering what i might have to look out for, say, or expect from a swap. I hear about different screens... is that a good thing. Thanks in advance as I kinda need to get talked into this since the year mark is getting closer.
I mean, this happened kinda immediately as its been dusty for several months and its only 9 months old. I know its a known prob
EDIT: did my swap and should be recieving it today or tomorrow. Would you guys recommend I go to stock? Or just turn it in with Cyan6, or does it matter.
bump........
Personally, I'd go back to as near to stock as possible.
Hello. Yes, I'm a noob. I watched video, and also have been trying to find a solution for last three days. I just really am unsure where to even start!!.... :silly:
I just purchased this Samsung Galaxy Tab:
ebay. com/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-w-Otter-Box-Charger-3G-SPH-P100-/140863908008?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&nma=true&si=zdNnh%2F8hBkAfClqVXbmhnrVFeI4%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
(Sorry I can not link without spaces)
I have no SD card.
This is Sprint version of Tab, though I'm not sure if that is still attached to the tab.
I do not know if this is rooted (item description does not say anything about that, but I'm guessing it is..)
Received it, charged it, tried to turn it on, and it loops the glowing Samsung boot screen.
I tried to load in recovery mode and the attached image is the screen that I get. fails to mount anything!
(again tried to link to image also but not allowed )
I downloaded both kies and odin but can"t seem to connect the tab to the PC? I have never used any of these programs and was just not expecting to need to so soon.
I'm not trying to do anything fancy just yet, just want to be able to turn the tab on!!
I have searched these forums, and others, youtube, can't seem to find my exact problem and getting to be at wit's end..
I used to be pretty tech savvy but haven't done much dealings in last few years so rusty. And I have never had any kind of smart phone or tab before and so I'm just a bit nervous on where to start or to do anything because I think it is good that it at least still turns on?? Don't want to worsen the problem.
I am just between trying to resolve this matter, if it is possible or if nothing is possible, attempting to use the ebay buyer protection but i'd rather it not come to that! (also why I haven't made any changes just yet)
I do not have any other communication device at the moment, was kind of relying on this tab for work, and don't have time or money to spend waiting for that to go through plus a replacement unless I have absolutely no choice.. :crying:
I would be eternally grateful for any help in what direction to go. If I could JUST get a jump start I think I tend to pick things up alright.. as far as development goes. Just off to a bad start with this tab and pretty please if you don't mind give me some reassurance (and maybe some links) that it will be okay :victory::highfive:
Probably has been rooted. Boot into recovery ( power volume up ). Press vol up and power. Once the tab starts, keep your finger on volume up and quit the power button. Once you are in recovery, take a picture of the screen and post here.

i figured so! the attached picture in the original post is from holding the volume up button while powering on. that is supposed to be in recovery mode, but there is "(No such file or directory)" for.. seems to be anything.

You may want to contact the seller before raising buyer protection.
Maybe he is willing to take it back or willing to refund you some money, then let you play with it.
I hope it is not a case of bad NAND chip.

I have contacted him, though he doesn't seem to understand what is the problem either. I definitely would prefer to arrange something with him I just don't even know my options right now if that makes sense. He said he hadn't had this problem so I don't know.. because I have not done anything with it myself but open the mail and plug it in. If it was working for him correctly, the chip wouldn't be bad would it?
He had photos of the tab on running screens in his listing. Seems to be the same one.
I guess was trying to see if I even had a chance at it working regardless. I am on a very limited budget so its already been an inconvenience, but thats the risk I take buying second hand I suppose. Just trying to make the best of it any which way. I just have no idea what this screen says about the condition of the tab..
I have no ill will toward the seller just trying to find best resolution.
I'm not opposed at playing around with it, as long as I would actually have a good chance of it actually working and had a clue where to start.
Otherwise I would probably like to return it. Like I said, going the buyer protection route is worst case scenario to me. And I would not use the buyer protection after altering the programming in any way. That is also part of why I have not tried anything so far. Don't want to totally break or brick it.
I just want to turn it on. I actually hadn't even had the notion of playing with any of it whatsoever until I found I had a problem, and started researching it
or if it is fixable . (which I still do not know)
I think I have decent ethics,, mostly I'm just trying to figure out what is wrong with the tab, both for myself and / or the seller if we do happen to return the tab :fingers-crossed:
Thank you!!
I am sure you have the right ethics.
What we are worried is if he hasn't got one.
How do you know the picture is of this tab, and was the condition right before the sell?
If he is genuine, there can be a compromise. Either he take it back, or take it back to fix it and send you again (after sufficiently proof to you that it is now running, with video of him flipping it front and back next to the TV news or something, hahaha, pointing the same scratches and marks on the tab he is holding), or refund you a little money.
But if he is unwilling to compromise, and you would like to try fixing it yourself and be a good guy, then bite the bullet and try and prepare to bear the loss.
But give him no star, afterall it is his choice not to keep you happy, right?
Edit: also I have no experience with CDMA tab to try to guide you. If it were a GSM tab, at least I have some experience.

Ah thank you anyway! I am definitely picking up what you're putting down. He has great feedback, 100% positive, or else I probably would not have ordered it, though this seems to be the only electronic type sale he's made. We will see how it goes. I believe its the same device because it included the otter box and I saw no others like it. There are virtually no scratches on it, one tiny one I found near volume buttons, but that is it. And the smear on otterbox in photo seems to match. Though there's no box on the tab in the photos in which it is running properly, they do seem to be on the same carpet as the others.
OHHH ebay I forgot why I shyed away from that website. I really was trying to be very discretionary in ordering the thing but I guess it doesn't always make a difference hahah I almost wondered if he possibly had taken the photos, then tried to wipe his data before sending, and that is where something went wrong. Who knows! I am waiting for his response to the email with photo I posted here.
Actually its relieving just to talk to someone who gives a hoot about it any which way. :highfive:
Really hope can work something out.
If you decide or have to keep this device, can you, at least, get the seller to tell you what recovery and what o/s was installed on your tab?

Thanks for suggestion. He is actually corresponding with me a little bit at a time. So I just asked him specifically what you just asked, and a few other questions regarding the tab's past, will update as soon as I find out. It is certainly more difficult with such little knowledge of the history of the item. I did receive confirmation from him that it was rooted. Nothing beyond that so far, however.
But hey on the lighter side of the situation! Haha, My trusty ol' horoscope ( -__- ) popped up and it says:
You're more in tune with the tech world than usual and now is a good time to price out gadgets for later consumption. You may want to look into stuff that doesn't quite make sense to you yet. :good:
That's a good "sign" right?
Are you sure it's not an horoscope written by the seller?

No otter box on the one running properly!
Kind of a clue that it was an older photo?
why would he take out the otter box and run it and take a photo of it?
I am calling foul here.
He must confess and take it back.

Well, it actually isn't in the otter box for most of the photos in listing... but that's still a good point... I tried to link to the listing but being a newbie I can't post links. Just realized he is from a town named Brick.. go figure! I don't know if he'll take it back or not..because he listed no returns. So you think the tab is likely not fixable? And I may have been ripped off? Wow what a bummer....
Now wondering if there's a time limit on the buyer protection if that may be part whats taking so long.. dragging it out. As far as that goes, never used it before, but I have no feedback, just started a new account recently because I hadn't used it in 5 + years and could not remember my old one. And his 100% positive feedback, I don't know if I would have a chance anyway
If they take that in consideration..
He probably did write the horoscope. jokes on me i guess..
If you have to keep the Sprint tab, you might want to restock-it back to Gingerbread 2.3. See the following thread, if you have any questions, don't be shy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275031&highlight=odin+drivers
after seeing the ebay link you PM me, I do think he has reason to take photo of the tab running out of the otter box.
Initially I thought his shots was with the otter encasing the tab, except for the one that it is running. Apparently all of them are with the otter off, but the one running has no otter nearby.
Well, like in my PM, if you can go download mode, there is still chance to get it running.
The most extreme case is with a broken NAND chip, some have removed the NAND (it was glued on, can you believe that) and still run from microSD card.
There are ways, as long as it still boots to download mode/recovery.
Soon it will be your call....
Before removing the nand chip, he should try to restock like I said before and as shown in the thread link I posted.

Yeah, I am sure he know. I already PM him, apparently the same link as yours.
the NAND removal is the last, only if it is proven to be bad.
I forgot to mention that he should include the pit file and repartition the device, just in case.
well i haven't heard again from seller. No matter which way I go it is going to take some time and energy but I would rather not direct it toward dealing with an argument, so going to try to direct all that more positively and give this a go.
Thanks for all the advice for sure!
I am sure I will end up with some more questions at some point. Though, in spite of the fact that I don't think I should HAVE to do all this right away, as I do, I still feel okay about succeeding.. :fingers-crossed:

So I have performed the tasks as posted, and made some progress (I think?), though the tab is still stuck on Samsung screen when start up normally.
Now when I load it in recovery mode I get this screen::
If you just Odin the ef17 using rodderick guide, you shouldn't even have cwm 4.0 I think...
Need someone to confirm.
Are you past that point and going for ics?

Hello Xda,
This is my first post here although I've lurked for quite some time looking for answers and help.
I just got my droid 4 over winter break and I have been loving it since. The update to JB was nice but it took me some time to get it right because I am special™.
Anyways, here's my problem: A few weeks ago I was napping on a couch and I rolled over and the phone fell to the ground screen down. Later that morning the touch screen started acting erratically where it would not work until i locked and unlocked the phone. After having that happen a few times later that day the touch screen went out completely. I rebooted the phone by holding the lockscreen down and using the keyboard to select power off. When I turned it back on even the lock screen had started being screwy, which leaves me to where I am now. The lock screen locks the phone perfectly, but it i have to hit it multiple times and hope that it will turn on in the next 5-10 before trying again. The touch screen still does not work. I have read around and saw that it could be the digitizer. I took the phone apart once to make sure nothing was loose anywhere before I bought it and since that did not fix the phone I went ahead and purchased a new digitzer. I just finished installing it and I'm still having the same issues. So xda, I'm lost.
I really don't feel like buying a new phone and I'd love to try and repair this. Does anyone have any ideas on where the problem could be? I checked the pins on the back of the mobo and they looked fine. I just left the phone on a bit too long and got about 2 weeks worth of texts so it still runs smoothly..just without a damn touch screen.
Thank you for your help and reading this wall of text!
Edit: I just realized lockscreen is meant to be lock button in the title, sorry for any confusion!

Wow! That's bizaare. I can safely say that I've dropped my Droid 4 multiple times in the year that I've owned it, including on hard surfaces, and I've never had any problems as such. Sorry to hear about your troubles.
This sounds like a pretty in depth hardware issue, and I think it's beyond my scope of knowledge, But, I would like to ask, did you buy the phone from a third party? Or directly from your service provider? Because if you bought it from your provider, I was going to ask if you had insurance on the phone. If not, that sort of issue may very well be under warranty, depending on when the phone was manufactured. But, you probably voided it if you opened it up and changed a component in it
The only other advice I can offer, outside of buying a new phone, would be to take it to a third party repair shop. If you're in the U.S., Verizon has an independent franchise called Wireless Zone that I believe does phone and tablet repairs. I'd see if there's one in your area. Me personally, I think I'd just avoid the hassle and buy a new phone, but it's up to you. Not sure how much you can find a D4 for on eBay or Craigslist these days, but I'd go that route. Sorry I can't be more help. Good luck!

I had dropped it many times(I'm very clumsy with my phone) before that. This was not even the worst drop of them all so it really confuses me too. I did buy it off ebay so there was no hope for warranty which is why I went down the try and fix it myself route. I did exactly as you said a few days ago. I gave up and bought another one off craigslist. A case is already on the way too so this does not happen again. My theory is that the connections from the front half of the phone(the led/digitizer, etc) where the two pieces attach back to the circuit board have gone bad somehow. I zombiefied the phone with just the circuit board and the screen to see if pressing in different spots would fix anything but to no avail. I'm just going to hold on to it for awhile and mess with it in my spare time now hehe. Thanks for the advice!
Edit: I just wish Motorola would come out with the Droid 5 or some other new smartphone with a keyboard. I guess I'm old school but I can't go with a touchscreen only phone

Ah, ok. Well, that's still pretty crazy that it happened. Sorry for the delayed response, but anyway glad to hear that you've got a new one on the way, and a new case coming too.
Yeah, I'm the same way. I got the D4 cuz I really like having a keyboard. Unfortunately, it looks like it may be the last keyboard phone to come out for a while, if ever. But on a sidenote, a lot of the newer phones with big screens have really good touchscreens that I think wouldn't be so bad to type on. My girlfriend's GS3 is awesome. I think I could get used to it. And even if you get touchscreen only phone, I do believe that there are a number of third party keyboards you can buy that will plug into the phone. That will probably be the way to go in the future.
Hi all. I was using my Nexus 6 per usual earlier today, on the home screen when it began to glitch out. I could see what my homescreen was but it was warping with lines, and then the screen went completely green with horizontal lines across the device (pic attached). I called Google, went through the troubleshooting and confirmed it was a hardware issue. Screen is still green in bootloader so definitely not software. I am wondering what could have caused this. Unfortunately I bought mine through Sprint so Google was unable to send me a new one, and Sprint is closed both today and tomorrow, so looks like I have no phone over Christmas. Any help would be appreciated and hopefully Sprint will give a new one without hassle.
Bad news for sure.. Looks like a bad phone and should be no issue getting a replacement.. Now the real issue is will they have one on hand?

Hopefully they do, I called Sprint the first week the Nexus 6 was available from them and went in the same day to buy this one. The vibrator on this one is also very noisy and I read that varies from device to device. Hopefully a replacement will give me better luck on that too.
Well I left it untouched for a few hours and the display works 100% again. Not sure what the problem was and if it'll show itself again. Maybe a bad display connection.
Use it until Friday bro. Then take it in and ask for a new device. It happened once, it will continue and get worse. Be sure to bring pics and tell them you went over troubleshooting with Google etc.
This is why I always keep a backup phone, right now my Note 2 is my backup phone just in case of something like this. Also I know Motorola's are not built as well as Samsung phones, which is why I bought insurance for my N6, I probably would not have bought insurance if I would have bought the Note 4 but I wanted something different and im happy with my N6.

Hey guys,
Totally depressed over here. So I save and save and save and BOOM, Im the proud owner of a Nexus 6. I hit up Swappa because Ive had good dealings with solid dudes there in the past. I got my phone on Friday after work. It was described on Swappa as Mint, and on the exterior it was just that Mint I turned it on with SIM in and ready to fall in love. What I got was a device that everytime the screen times out, or you are done for a minute and hit the power button, if it sits idle for more than 5-10 min its basically dead to the world, google voice, manual hitting the power button, plugging in the charger, NOTHING....The only way, and I mean the ONLY way I can get it to turn back on is to hold the power button for like 20 or 30 seconds and then it turns on. I tried to contact the dude I got it from about it and he just said I am full of S**t and it worked perfect when he sent it to me. He said basically screw you. Took a LOT of hard a** work to save up to get this phone man and It looks like Im hit. Do any of you guys have any clues or a godsent solution to this hell? I need yalls help. Im totally at a loss for why this is happening.

They won't do anything unfortunately. His better option is to go through PayPal.

Go through PayPal and Swappa. And leave a negative review on him. Make sure you keep records of all interactions with him as proof.

Or, you could try flashing the stock firmware. But it will be tedious with the phone acting like that. I'd personally want my money back.
Swappa believe it or not told me, work it out with him. I qued them in on every message I sent him and they just replied well sorry you couldnt work it out. I am actually surprised that as buyer seller protected they shout about over there all they really do is make sure the esn isnt smashed. they dont help resolve issues like this at all. His ad clearly stated no returns unless not as advertised. he advertised mint, so any of you here know exactly what that means. He told me to take a video of the phone actually doing it, and in the next sentence said it was working perfect when he shipped it. Wheres his video to prove that? Even Swappa lets a guy go down in flames huh? This Item is not as described if it locks up. Its not "Functions Flawlessly" as they advertised. sorry this isnt the place for this. It took me a long time to come up with the money he just stole from me
That really sucks man, sorry to hear about your problem. try going into bootloader and like said flashing stock firmware, hopefully that'll fix it.
Mint means perfect. Flash stock, if the same problem exists, its faulty and not mint.
When I sold my first nexus 6, the initial install was all wacky. I assumed it was from using custom Roms and android m on the phone. Flashed a few more times and factory reset and it was good as new.
Same thing happen with note 4 and lg g3 before shipping.

As previously advised, open a PayPal case. "Device Significantly Not As Described". You will get your money back. PayPal nearly always sides with the buyer.
Doing a lot of research, I had heard of people who had glass screen savers that screwed up their proximity sensor. This phone does have one, but I am in a situation where I can't really take it off because let's say it doesn't fix the issue and I do get granted a refund, then I'm screwed because I have to return it the same way I got it.

I don't believe PayPal would deny your claim for removing the screen protector, in an effort to try to solve the problem. IMHO.
Sounds software related. Download and install factory sysimage, then factory wipe, and see how that goes.
Flash another rom or factory most likely should work
hi
Start it in bootloader then select QCOM test that. for me it has been the solution to all errors.

Doing a lot of research, I had heard of people who had glass screen savers that screwed up their proximity sensor. This phone does have one, but I am in a situation where I can't really take it off because let's say it doesn't fix the issue and I do get granted a refund, then I'm screwed because I have to return it the same way I got it.

Well i had a proximity issue when i had my screen replaced but flashed back to android version 5.0.1 and the issue is totally gone. Try reverting back to 5.0.1
Thanks everyone for being so helpful. Yesterday I had been hoping and praying for the best. And the screen completely went dark with wierd lines and dots and finally just doesn't come on at all no matter what I do. It's gone. No bringing it back now. Totally bummed. PayPal said they will open a case and it's gonna be like 10 days before anything else happens cause this bum wouldn't refund my money. You guys are really awesome for jumpin out there to help me so much. I'm poor as heck so what sucks is it took me 2 months of saving every penny just to get scammed. Now all I have is my work phone and I'll probably get in trouble for using it for this. Lol life is crappy sometimes. Peace community
eMMC failure... That douche did scam you and he did it hard. Hope you get it sorted.
There is no way this slime ball didnt know what was up with that phone. Too bad too. I just hope I get my money back
Dang I'm sorry this happened to you man, that really sucks from reading this. I hope Paypal sorts everything out for you and you get your money back.

What is eMMC? I don't think I've heard of that. If I cant get my money back I wonder how much it would cost to repair. I'm probably screwed there too. I bet it's more to fix than to buy a different phone. Too bad honesty is like the tooth fairy these days, because I don't think I'll ever buy another used phone and I know there's good ones out there. By the time I save up enough to do that again Nexus 6 will be 100 bucks
