Can you get to the tri-color screen? If so, then it's probably fixable.
heyya,
im able to buy this phone for only 130euros, is it a correct price?
and im asking is it a good device i mean not as slow as snail i like the materials and the qwerty, for me the design is better that the kaisers.
So, earlier i had diamond, waht can i expect from this phone? i realy liek manila2d, so for me its absolutely no problem tdl3 or 2d. THANX!!!
ps: answers are urgent!
Sup people of XDA
I've been having this problem with all my roms includeing Cyanogen,Hero Madaco 1.5.1-1.5.4 and Jac-Ski i have no idea whats wrong but they all seem to hang on me im using
Tmobile G1
with the latest radio and spl
Cyanogen 1.4 + JF Recovery
Transcend 4Gig Micro SDHC class 6 card
Partitions are
fat32 0 3400 3.4Gigs
Ext3 3400 3900 500Megs
Linux-Swap 3900 3964 64Megs
and they all Freeze/Hang/Lock up on me to the point where my phone dont respond as in it will freeze up and it wont respond to the Menu button or any other button on the phone and sometimes the lights stay on sometimes i put it into sleep mode and the screen just stays black when i try to wake it up with the menu button so anyone have any ideas or anything of that matter?.... cause i dont kno whats going on so let me kno thx people
bump i kno someone has to kno something about this problem
i remember hearing of something like this a long time ago (in xda terms, like around cm3.4 (or something like that) it was called a "coma" then, where the phone would freeze up and not respond to trying to be woke up from sleep/standby mode. this thread may help you some. it documents a lot of people experiencing the "coma" issue.
ok man thx alot man srsly
i don't think that it would be amazingly relevant anymore but you may find some useful info in it.
yea i didnt really find anything there so i dont kno what to do now....it just said the new rom didnt have the problem so it was left in the past so i dont kno now....pretty gay
if you could grab a logcat of it when it happens then you could give it to cyanogen and see if there is anything he can do for it.
ya i alrdy send him a message so i can see if he's ganna do that for me thx dude now that i kno the name of the issue "Coma" im sure i can get some kinda help thx alot dude this has been like this for at least a week and i though it was my phone...i was ganna go get a new one...thx thou dude
no prob man, sorry i couldn't help more
Hey guys, remember those who used Tenfar's custom Recovery to format and partition their internal SD? Remember how it damages the touch screen response on the bottom half inch of the screen? Mine is fixed!!
I don't know what it does, but that particular function damages the PDS file. I've received help from a person who cannot be named and my AT&T Atrix is 100% fixed. Touch screen works flawlessly again, no Wifi issues, no Bluetooth issues and System Updates work fine.
He is working on scrubbing my personal data (serials, etc) from the PDS file and I'll be able to share it with the entire community. But if there's a dev out there who can contact me specifically I can send both the damaged and corrected file right now. I need help figuring out how to apply these serials to a blank PDS file so others in the community can fix this problem as well.
Out of respect, I will not name the person who assisted me as it compromises their work security. They went out on a huge limb and graciously assisted me without any reason other than they're a kick ass person with a huge heart. I'm no programmer by any stretch, but if anyone could assist me I know that there's about a dozen others (maybe more) who really need help fixing this issue. Someone please PM me if they can help!!
i messed up mine too...
any chance to get any help/solution?
One thing you could do is diff the two files to see if they're different. I don't know what the file is either though. Can you ask him how he fixed it? Also can you run the program strings against it? One other thing, is this fixed on changed partitions our did you change them back to the default?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
currently i'm in the situation that i can only flash my device, as i cannot complete motosetup, i cannot access debug option so no adb.
i read that the partition with the pds file has been already found
100% mmcblk0p3 PDS.bin 2097152 Persistent Data Storage
(from the atris sbf thread)
would be great to know what is executed in the script of tenfar for the internal sd partitioning, but my knowledge ends here.
so i guess (i'm everything but a developer )
if could be possible to flash/restore that partition with the nvflash selective option
or integrate it in a generic sbf, or the second init will save us all or the gingerbread update...dunno
but i see we are many we touched the wrong button but i don't see any dev interested here or in the thread of tenfar's recovery
i read that psd contains unique infos like the imei so maybe none of the devs wants to release a potential cloning system...
really i don't know even if what im saying is correct

I am willing to help. This should be relatively easy to do.
in android recovery touch screen works correctly till the bottom, menu/ok button too.
the problem is in the os i guess, but damn i cannot use adb (no debug), seems that neither the early usb+shell root works for me...i can only flash using rsd
and after flashing stock rom i'm stuck at the damned motosetup
maybe are useful infos for you
god knows how i'm desperate
edit i'm reading that for old motorola phones like v3 exist a flashbackup and a psd editor, used to unlock the phones but also to revive damaged ones. maybe...
I've got my original corrupt PDS at home as well as one which has been corrected from a legit developer (can't release any of their information due to work employment security concerns).
I guarantee that it has been 100% fixed though. Bluetooth works, Wifi works, cellular data works and I was even able to upgrade from 1.26 to the latest AT&T OTA update and root everything.
When I announced this no one gave a **** so I didn't make a fuss. I know there are still a few bros with this problem though. I sent my PDS files to another member and they're looking into it. Hopefully you guys can get this working for yourselves as well!
dear friend you are promising salvation with your words, but you're not helping too much...
you gave the phone to that developer, he told what/how he solve the problem?
i understand psd is based on personal imei, so your fixed one is not working on mine etc etc
the point is that possibly your friend as legit developers has access to software to create/flash psd to the atrix.
the question is would be possible to receive the same helping hand?
there is no support in my country for this phone, and i'm not a dev.
so the only chance for me and the rest of the halfbricked people is to get the tools and the tutorial how to from you/your friend.
do you think it is possible?

Sorry, I'm not helping much? I'm NOT A DEV!!! I have no obligation to help anyone whatsoever. I lack the technical know-how to help anyone. Please don't ****ing test me.
I've begged every Atrix developer here for help - NO ONE helped other than Tenfar. And unfortunately his advice took me in a completely different direction. No one can point a finger at me for not trying my best. I was so desperate that I got another Atrix because mine was dead for over a month before it was revived.
meneomic has been working feverishly to get his Atrix working as he's encountered the same problem. I've sent him my original and damaged PDS, as well as the one which has been corrected. The strings are not in plain text format and when I viewed it in a Hex editor I found nothing useful. That's all I can do. If someone knows how to put the IMEI and other serial numbers into the fixed PDS they can write it to the appropriate block and this problem will be fixed. That's all that needs to be done... but that alludes me.
I realize there are some people who are upset that their Atrix's aren't working after messing around in the recovery menu, but I've done my best. I have literally stayed up for days working continuously on this. My wife nearly smashed both my Atrix's in frustration because of all the time I've invested in it. I've done what I could and unfortunately got no where.

Chill out buddy....
Atrix ~_~
tons of words but nothing useful guys
leaving the good manners debate aside for one moment...
bongd you say you have the 2 file corrupted and corrected, but someone had to flash somehow/somewhere into your phone. who? you or your friend? what did he use to manipulate? can you ask him or not?
second easy group of questions for every dev out there,
-not interested because no reward (for the moment)?
-not interested because impossible?
-not interested because xxxx?
i'm trying to understand please...

I sent my broken file to dev, he fixed it and I flashed it.
There was no exchange of phones, nothing special done, etc. I just used the dd command to write the fixed PDS file. How it was fixed, I an uncertain. I've tried for days and days to no avail. This is what you guys will have to figure out. I've invested too much time and already have a fixed phone which was sold to a friend.
If anything from that phone is needed for whatever reason, it's been sold to a coworker and I can obtain it any time.
ok we are talking now
the question is how did you extract that file?
i don't have adb access because after partitioning my phone failed to boot and i had to flash stock rom. now i cannot pass the motoblursetup (no wifi-no data, i'm stuck there) so cannot enable debugging

Yes you can. To bypass the motoblur activation type this when you are on the select language screen
Fn,E,Fn,E,B,L,U,R,O,F,F
Hold the Menu button to get the keyboard to pop up. That should work.
This will allow you to get to Settings > Applications and enable USB Debugging. Just make sure not to click on the wrong icon because you can't close a program once it's opened because of the bottom portion of the screen not responding.
I had to battery pull about 500 trillion times doing different things to fix this.
If you write my PDS it will fix the screen, but of course the serials will all be incorrect. And I don't know what this could do so I'd not recommend it.
mmm my phone recognizes the menu button as the bottom of the visible screen so pressing menu results in selecting the emergency call, pressing search button moves me to "next", the home or back button in the middle bottom of the visible screen...

Hold the menu button down until the keyboard pops up and give this a shot.
I'm positive you'll be able to.
Please stop the foul language. Thanks.
according to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15026407
you just have to open adb shell and run
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard-ext/pds.img
anyone backed up this partition??
I need it badly

Hey everyone,
I hope I am not beating a dead horse, but I couldnt find anything. I have a cracked Captivate screen and I am not able to unlock it to put it into USB mode. Is there any way through recovery or some other trick? I just installed Mosaic V yesterday, I have no idea if that helps, but at least you know what ROM i have. I just want to recover the pictures. I can see the top left portion of the screen, but the unlock motion does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey everyone, Having an issue hoping for a solution on. My Sprint Galaxy Tab S2 wont boot at all, wont (atleast show) charging, Odin isnt picking it up, and Smartswitch is telling me its not connected to the pc either. I put my S/N into SS but it comes back saying wrong SN each time I try again. Technically I am within my 1 yr however, Ive rooted it also so bye bye warranty... Anyone that can throw me a bone? Id sure appreciate it!
I noticed my volume button is also sticking a bit but Im not sure its even part of the issue. The phone died (hard bricked?!?) during an update I believe. Im hoping I can recover the device especially because in the past Ive done the same with my Note 3 and Note 4 and have been able to locate the proper resources to recover with odin even when odin didnt see it at first. (Dunno I did it but I know it was some awesome advice from xda-devs that had obviously been there with past noobs. If theres anyone that could refresh my memory or hand me the news that I'll need to seek proper burial for this dead stick I sure would appreciate it regardless....
thanks all
:good:
Thanks
