Bought used possible bricked phone, can I unbrick? - HTC Rezound

I really wanted this phone and found one broken on a local classifieds site. I checked the MEID number with Verizon and it's good, so I went ahead and traded some stuff for this phone. It came with the Dre beats earbuds, so worst case scenario, I've got a nice set of earbuds.
Anyway, the guy told me the phone was in his pocket and he bumped into something and after that the LCD didn't show anything. I have fully charged the battery. The orange light comes on but nothing appears on the screen, after leaving it to charge overnight the orange light did change to green. I can hook it to my computer and access the mem card, so it appears somewhat functional. The 16GB mem card he gave me isn't the original, so the filestructure isn't there. I told him I didn't want the phone without a mem card, so he got this one from his friend.
I took the phone apart to verify connections, and noticed that the screen backlight was working. I verified with my multimeter that it's getting 4.31v and when the power button is pressed it drops to 4.28, yet the phone appears dead, no vibration from the motor, no sounds, nothing!
I'm just looking for other ways to verify a dead LCD before I buy one. I could see it lighting up from behind the screen with the phone apart. Someone had been in there before because there was a screw missing, but nothing looked water damaged or broken.
Before I spend $30 on a screen, I want to ask a few questions. Could rooting this phone and overclocking it do this? Is there anything I should/can do to test the motherboard or anything else before I spend $ on the screen? Can/should I try setting the phone back to stock someway, somehow?

Anything done to the software apart from experimental hacking/flashing, you should still be able to get into bootloader. If it happened as he said it did could likely be a screen. I don't have a ton of experience but that's my 2 cents.

I have something you can try, do you have the android SDK installed on your computer?

Also you need the drivers for the rezound installed.
Okay if you have everything setup correctly you should have a file called DDMS in the tools folder correct??

The only 2 folders I have on that list are "tools", which when I open only has the 2 options mentioned in my previous post.
Then there are a bunch of Android 4.1, 4.03............
Then at the bottom is a folder called Extras

No that's for developing applications and stuff, don't worry about that. All you need are the extras and tools stuff

I installed everything I could under tools and extras, maybe my version of SDK manager doesn't have it?
I just googled SDK manager download and clicked the first link, then the blue box "download for windows"

Please don't give up on me guys, I really want to do this tonight!
Am I suppose to have the phone hooked up to the PC for all of this?

[Q] How to make screenshots?

How can you take a screenshot from the Atrix?
My phone is rooted and I have tried several apps from the market but none of them worked on the Atrix.
can we please sticky this? it's been answered dozens of times.
plug into your PC, get the android SDK, find ddms.bat in the tools folder, grab screenshot. that is the only way right now.

That's the easiest way to shoot your screen!
Or just download screen capture shortcut from the market. You don't even need to be rooted.

You said that the SDK-way is the only way at the moment. I just showed TS that it isn't.
And the SDK can be kinda of confusing to begin with if you aren't used to it. That's why MPE is an easier way to go all around imo.

you're right, wasn't trying to sound jerkish. I was just pointing out that i bet it is doing the same thing, using the SDK stuff.
FWIW, the ddms.bat is really not confusing. it launches a nice windows with clear menus. Under a menu at the top is a screen shot option. Much nicer than the command prompt stuff you usually use abd for.

It is probably already booted. If you are still seeing a blue screen you have missed a key step (but your doing great if you are this far!)...You need to open AndroidVNC viewer (or your favorite vnc viewer) and configure it as directed in the directions. Address is Localhost, port is 5900, password is ubuntu. Then select the connect button and you will be off to the races! Did you install busy box yet? Just make sure to read the directions, I got hung up there in the beginning also until I went back and read it again.
So in the terminal after typing:
su
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
Now press the home button and open and configure the VNC viewer. You only need to configure it once. After that it will remember everything and you can just open it and press connect.
yeah it had booted even though it said "this can take some time..."
thanks its all working now
i never overclocked as my streak wont work with setcpu
but gimp still opens up quite fast
thanks again

No problem. You can change the screen resolution to fit perfect to your streak if you open the file manager in ubuntu and go to root/init.sh and open that with leafpad or gedit and change the resolution to 800x480. Overclocking it makes it insanely quick. I can open openoffice in under 5 seconds. Also if you run the update manager you can update to 11.04 no problems though it takes about 8 hours lol.

I agree but it is blast. I wish I could TV out to a TV or monitor and use the phone screen as a mouse pad. I will keep dreaming though
officially impressed. As soon as I gather some spare time I must try this.
Can you elaborate on the Terminal Emulator? Suggest a good free one perhaps?
For the rest of you tightwads (like me) OverclockWidget seems to be working okay for me.

Yes gladly, the best one in my opinion is free from the market. It is called "Android Terminal Emulator" made by Jack Palevich. If you search Terminal Emulator with the search function in the market it is in the first few results.
Impressive,
I was using Ubuntu for a while and now im very impressed with the work of bringing ubuntu to mu Mighty Streak. But there something i'd like to be clear before i go ahead.
1. As far as i know, this Ubuntu will be run on Vnc environment under Android OS, am i correct?
2. If 1 is a Yes, that means that i can back to Android at anytime to make fone call, text, ect...
3. If 1 is a No, so how Ubuntu works? And how can i do 2?
4. How long did the battery last?
Thi is it. Will ask you more if any.
Thanks buddy.

1. Yes it is.
2. Yes, you can toggle between the two. If you get a call it will overtake your ubuntu session, sort of like when you are browsing the web or really in any app and get a call.
4. I leave my ubuntu session up and running all the time, phone overclocked to 1.27 ghz and with heavy I mean HEAVY use I get about 10-12 hours of use. If I am being a normal person and not face palanted in my phone it lasts a whole day. With setcpu you can do quite a few neat things like underclock the phone when the screen is off and of course if you are using wireless rather than 3g that always helps almost double the battery life for data usage is concerned.
Also to help with battery I am using a solid black wallpaper. Not sure if it helps a bunch but it takes less to keep the screen lit, in Ubuntu and on my phone.
If you have any more questions I will do my best to answer. If you get stuck at any point and need help feel free to pm me and I will do my best to help.

I'm stuck at trying to download and extract the ubuntu files. I downloaded the first one in the list but I can't figure out how to extract it.
I have toasted one computer trying to run ubuntu, so I really want to do this right.

No problem.
1. Download all of the files (you need all of the files in order to extract the first one, otherwise it wont work)
2. Make sure you have 7zip or alzip or really any zip tool installed on your computer
3. The first ubuntu zip (ubuntu.zip.001) is the one you need to extract. So right click the file and choose the option "extract to /ubuntu" under 7-zip or which ever tool you are using to extract. It will create a folder with all of the files you need called Ubuntu. You just move that folder to your sd card. The file is broken into 4 parts which I am guessing is due to a file size restriction with the file hosting company used. So once you extract the first ubuntu zip you have everything you need, it's just confusing because it seems like you need to extract all four. I hope that helps.

Sadly no... sorry.
Okay, I have the files extracted and placed on the SD card.
New problem.
I am running 1.2 of the new superclean version.
I have done the factory reset and cleared the dalvik cache.
I even went as far as to format the SD card prior to installing the new OS.
There are perhaps 12 programs in my downloaded apps list and half of those are actually updates of previously installed apps.
In Application Manager there are zero applications listed under the SDcard tab.
I'm getting a message that I need to move some of my apps off of the SD card because there are too many to establish a "loop" for Ubuntu to run in.
Any ideas?
Could you write something about performance of ubuntu? its take long time to load system and apps , freezes? and how to comeback from ubuntu to android? restart phone?

You could have at least linked him to a driver download.
ok, i had a way to find (almost) all adb drivers for android phones and your pc. but because the user interface is all in chinese, i just recommend you to follow my steps.
first, go to 360. cn scroll down and you may see this...
(attachment 1)
click the green arrow going down...that is the download link.
second, install it.
follow the instruction on the screen...(if you don't see a word but all rectangles or alien words, that normal. just click the only button on the installer and a popup window, click the left one). a popup window on your internet explorer or google chrome and go down to the list, click the first one, a circle with yellow and green. remember it is the first circle but not the second. again, the green arrow. the size is about 900kb.
step 3, run the installer, again click the only blue rectangle inside the installer. a download will go on. just wait...
after that, it will install automatically.
next, you may see two boxes checked. uncheck the second one. in this case, just kill the process (inst.exe) with task manager.
remember the install i mentioned in step 1? ok, run it. this time if you click the blue rectangle you should not get an error.
so, continue the installation process. see a box popup, click the first one. if you did things right, you should see 3 new windows popping up. close both on front.
now here's the highlight...
connect your phone with your computer with usb, with usb debugging enabled.
at the upper left of your application, you should see a white box with four words.
click the box, click the usb, click the boxes inside the dialog one by one. one of them means next step.so, you should see three circles, first one is searching for adb driver, second one is downloading adb driver, third one is installing driver( at the third one you should see a warning from windows, leave it, just say install.)
and you will see a white shopping bag with a funky flower...close it, close the application. now your computer should now be able to identify your phone!
this way is for all android phones. if you want to do it for someone you know, just follow the instructions again. remember that the applications that installed is not be uninstalled so that you can use them again.
thank me if i helped you, lastly, i hope that it helps!

Not sure number one is did you get it (fastboot) from googles SDK if so then number to turn off your antispyware app.. or set the app to ignore it if thats possible.

Ok, fastboot.exe nor emulator.exe returned after running the installation packages via SDK manager... I read somewhere that fastboot is not included in the newest SDK API 15. I installed API 14 and still no fastboot or emulator...

[Q] fastboot stuck on waiting for device

Alright guys/gals, I'm sorry to make this thread, but I've been messing with this for days and just can't get it. I'm hoping someone with XP 32bit may know the answer. Or maybe someones google-fu is better than mine.
So, here it is:
I FINALLY installed the sdk a few weeks ago.
When I plug my Evo LTE in, and type adb devices, the window shows my device. I can adb reboot bootloader and that works. Then switch device to fastboot via bootloader. But when I try to do a fastboot command (fastboot reboot) it hangs on 'waiting for device'.
Apparently it's a driver issue, I assume. But I just can't figure out what exactly I need. Or maybe a different fastboot.exe in my sdk?
Using win XP sp3 32 bit. Anyone else?
Also, I can't get my PC to see my evos internal storage. I've tried uninstalling HTC sync (but actually it still shows in manage programs) I've tried installing the 32bit drivers in the zedomax root thread. Numerous reboots. I've installed easytether from market and used it (I've seen some say the drivers from that help with various android driver issues). Nothing will get my (crappy, low rent, PC) to see my new Evo. Sees my old Evo just fine, always has. But I know USB/MS is different from MTP.
I'm not a total noob. I rooted my Evo on launch day 2010 and have flashed and modded ever since. But when it comes to PCs and drivers etc, I really am a total noob.
So, if ANYBODY has any advice or links to what I need, I'd be forever indebted.
Much thanks to any response (except lmgtfy lol).
Edit:
My PC doesn't have web connection (I really just use it for storage and android stuff. Also, when I check in device manager, it doesn't show Android 1.0, as some tuts suggest, it shows my HTC.
Also, when i plug into a win7 PC with a web connection, it grabs drivers and recognizes my storage with no problem (if that helps). Thanks

TLCR is the verdict from what I can see. ESFU.
Look at my thanks, it's pretty obvious I've helped lots of people. But I am stumped on this. Please, anyone with XP 32 bit, and my fastboot just hangs on 'waiting for device '
If anyone on win XP 32 bit knows what I'm talking about, please advise
Much thanks. F:ck, at this point I'd pay somebody who can help.

I ran into this when I was rooting my gnex. Where it failed to install the android 1.0 drivers don't know if this is device specific but try this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9njewnlumKg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

haha thanks man. Total irony, I set my sdk up using QBkings videos and files cuz i was following galaxy nexus stuff cuz I got one for my mom for mothers day. . Still can't get it. Thanks though.
From what I've seen, most times when drivers are issue, device manager shows android 1.0. Mine doesn't say that. Mine shows MyHtc, and says all drivers are good.
Adb works. Fastboot no-worky.
If anyone else has struggled with XP, I'd love to hear it.
.much thanks.

Try updating or installing HTC sync, that fixed my issue with drivers. I tried to install manually and had issues.
FWIW I was on Windows 7.

I have the same issue using Win7 with the updated drivers used for Root. I have the SDK downloaded and all files that were specified installed to c:\Android. You can see my screen copy in the other HTCDev failed thread. I am stuck in the same boat. Hoping someone can help us with this. As some are getting it and others are not.

Well try uninstalling all phone drivers. Reboot and just hook the phone up and see what happens. Also could be the fault of the of the cable or you need to try a different USB port. And man WinXP 32? Somebody needs to update/ get a new PC . I'm kidding, I was stuck with two of em on XP, just recently got a new laptop with W7. If that doesn't work you could try setting up a Linux VM and see if fasfboot will work through there... but that a like last resort and only if you know what your doing on Linux or can google-fu quite well.

Would be great if one of the all knowing ones could make a script to do this. That includes the needed files and ish. Put this @ the root of C: and click the script that way if you do what your told you can narrow down what is wrong.

Here is the fix. The problem is the android 1.0 drivers. To fix install the PDA net desktop client. When you run it it will ask if you want to replace the drivers. Do this. Go to device manager and look for android 1.0 with the yellow exclamation point. Hit update drivers and browse to (x86/PdaNet for Android/usbwin (windows 7 the location will be different depending on your machine) you will see a security warning install anyway.Complete the installation and this should solve the issue.
Also as a note you may have to toggle signed drivers especially on Windows 8.

I'm almost certain it will. I spent several hours working on this issue before finding the solution. At first I thought my usb ports were broken

This is exactly what my video I suggested does. So this won't work.

Perhaps your issue is different it may work for some in the thread it certainly worked for me.

Thanks. But I dont show the Android 1.0 drivers with exclamation mark as other have. My drivers just show My HTC ≥my HTC and say they're working properly.
I did install easytether and had read installing it and it's drivers help. But not so far. Haven't tried PDAnet. Will try. Maybe it uses different drivers than easytether?

Finally. I got fastboot working. But just through dumb luck. I uninstalled everything HTC I could find and then tried 12billion different ways to update the 2 drivers I'd downloaded. I finally got the android 1.0 in device manager then tried every driver I could find.
Fastboot works now. But NOTHING I did got XP to see my device as a storage MTP :banghead: dammit, I NEED to be able to get to my sh1t.

Same, same, did you already unlock the bootloader?
Sent from my EVO using XDA
Nope. Haven't unlocked bootloader yet. It's gonna be tricky, too, I think. As you need a web connection. My XP with SDK and adb/fastboot doesn't have web.
But the PC i have access to with web DOESNT have the sdk set up (which it sounds like you need to accomplish the htcdev unlock).
I wish I could help and tell people how I finally got fastboot to work, but it was countless driver uninstalls and reinstalls and reboots (phone and PC), trips to bootloader. (While in bootloader, I saw different drivers in device manager than I saw while booted,...and I think this was a key clue for me. This is where I finally saw the Android 1.0 driver to update. Updated manually thru browsing files, and used the drivers from the root thread.
Also the usb-windows drivers from qbking77. Still not getting any USB storage action gggrrrrrrrr :banghead:

Since uninstalling HTC stuff fixed it, I wonder if disabling HTC Sync would have done it as well. I know it messes with ADB, so I'm wondering if it messes with Fastboot as well. Just a thought. Good job working through it though.
Yeah, I believe so. Also, I just remembered, when I was doing a driver update (turns out there's multiple ways to update drivers with the same result) in a little window before browsing for the driver, it showed my HTC 1.0.XX and my HTC 2.0.1XX and I believe I highlighted the my HTC 2.0.1XX then clucked "have disk".
I'll try to get a screenshot in a minute, if I can.
In the meantime, this weird headset looking icon (or hearing aid) showed up in my notification bar yesterday and I CANNOT figure out what the hell it is. I've been all through settings and just am stumped and feeling really stupid. Anyone know what this is?
