So, I have tried a few different custom roms hoping to fix my keyboard issue. Keyboard will rarely work & will stall & stop working even in the middle of working. Has any1 else had this issue? & if I send it back to HTC, will I have to put back the stock rom? the reason I got the phone is for the keyboard.
thanks!
yeah i have the same problem i just call up alltel told them my problem and they sent me a new one in the mail but yes you have to put the original rom back on there and lock it back because if you dont you are going to be pay for the new phone that you got and i really dont think they are going to send the other back to you
im going to put the updated rom on now & then if its still f'd call sprint... very frustrating
Hi, I jus finally upgraded my Samsung Vibrant's firmware using Samsung Kies! Yeah, the only thing it successfully did was brick my phone. It completely killed it and it doesn't even turn on anymore. No boot- no Vibrant screen- not even charge logo when plugged in...
After Kies said "Successfully updated" the phone shut off and it didnt turn back on... What can I do? What are my options? Will Samsung fix it? Will they ship me a new one? (for free?)
Can I do anything on my own that can fix it?
Do you know of anyone who has fixed it?
No DL mode, I cannot get the phone to turn on what-so ever and the battery is fully charged. I also replaced the battery and nothing.
Please guys, I really screwed up and I need help now.
Call Samsung. You can get a new phone.
Kies is the devil
Will they replace it for free?
I called Samsung, looks like they will replace it for free. But I would love if there was a way to get it up and running without them right now (I'll have to wait a few weeks) anyone got anything?
Nope, what you have is now know as a "brick"
same EXACT problem!!!
I finally got my vibrant up and running again after a attempting to install a custom rom. This isn't the the first time but I was able to flash my phone back to its original state, in fact this isn't the first second or third time I updated using Kies Mini. What I did notice however is that Kies itself updated once I connected to my PC, it did what it had to as usual, said it was complete, my phone turned off and never turned back on!!!
Someone tell Samsung to check their Kies mini update cause now I'm without my android, and phones here in the Bahamas ARE NOT CHEAP!!
Kies breaks 10x more phones than rooting does...
when you get your new phone, trust the guys here and root your phone, get a great 2.2 ROM..

hi everyone,im new to the forum,and i have a question about this phone.my parents found this phone today(someone lost it)but they have decided to keep it.the problem is they cant use it as its locked,so is there any way to get round the phone lock i.e hard reset.
p.s is there also any way the service provider can track the phone,cos i dont want police knocking at my parents door,or is it safe!
Well I'm first gonna say that : i apollagize for my writing and if you can atleast read all of it even though I tend to rant a lil I could really use sum assistance!!
I got a Samsung Galaxy S3 It was unlocked n pretty sure refurbished & then I rooted it....not sure on where this phone originally came from but but now it's dead & I need help turnin it on and getting it back to working state.. cause I'm a newbie at all,,
& I'm prepaid so switching with the unlocked device shouldn't of been this difficult but I was at first with speakout (711) & set the apn setting in my S3,then my Data worked just no sms ....so I figured when my plan expired I would switch to telus & maybe get better signal / service But I've now come to realize that thinking was incorrect ...after signing up for telus everything went bad I barely could hold a signal or even make calls it just wouldn't pick up signal eve though it says telus
But it's had problems with wifi/signal since day one so I did a little research (2/3 days reading )but obviously not long/ well enough & in the midst of being half asleep I hit factory reset.. This is where it gets interested cause. Immediately after that my phone only went to either just the samsung logo , battery page or recovery etc
So then I did a lil research & found sum guidance I downloaded Oden,drivers etc
And after following instructions and running oden my phone hasn't tuned on maybe a lil flash but that's it ...
Is this fixable ?? ...can someone please help me ... I was thinking of changing Roms but always a lil scared tp even try and attempt but I did like the looks of :Cm11, PAC , Vyper
I need some guidance...proper guidance , I ain'ta smart cookie but I catch on fast ) I'm just a silly stoner lol help me get my cell back to working state
