when i tap the 1st pin the phone reboots before i can tap the ground pin, is this common or is there something else going on here?
What are you using to do the wire trick ? Kinda sounds like you are grounding out with your touch. May not be happening , just trying to help.

It shouldn't reboot until he makes the connection. I agree that something is grounding it it before he makes it.

Try using a piece of wire from a network cable (the small ones inside) and only strip the very ends. This should provide enough insulation to stop you from prematurely grounding the pin.

coax cable...and i tried an old multimeter probe...ive got a anti-static wrist strap that i might have to dig up

Unless your environment is very dry you shouldn't have to worry about the static. Hold one end of the wire firmly down in the hole...and then tap the pin twice.
I used a single tiny wire from inside a zune usb cable. Worked on my very first try

Hello. Was preforming the S-Off and can't get the wire trick right. I am stuck on the Juopuntbear screen. How can I exit the program. I want to just try it again later. I am on an HTC Sensation I figure the procedure is the same for the Rezound. I have done this on my Rezound but need some help anyone?
I had that same problem, but I never did figure out how to abort, so I kept trying and got it to s-off, then it booted normally again and rebooted into the Rom.
When I had the problem I powered down, didn't work so...
I want to say the answer might be use adb fastboot bootloader and just reboot, just a newbie idea.

Make sure the wire you're using is actual wire. I know people have said that paperclips work fine... but I couldn't get it to work with one for the life of me (tried for about 30 min to get it to work). Gave up on the paperclip, unhooked one of my 25ft speaker wires, and it worked the first time.
I used coax cable and speaker wire, just the copper from the coax, but some romex (home electrical wiring) would do the job as well, basically the same principal.

As long as its easily conductive it should work . All those wires you mentioned are all copper, so they're all pretty much the same and usable.
Since the splash screen is a vulnerable state, use the all in one root tool to reinstall recovery, ( Juopuntbear deletes it i believe) then use the tool to reboot to bootloader from here you should be able to start over. Factory reset/reflash a rom. You should be good to go from there...
EDIT: I just realized you are on a different phone, idk if there is an all in one root tool for your phone but this is what i did for my rezound the first time i attempted s-off and ran out of time.
Yea they may all be copper, but of a different gauge and therefore different ease of touching contact #1.
As for one click s-off I don't think there is one out yet.

Well obviously physical size of the wire is an issue lol. I was talking more about the actual material though, rather than the gauge of the wire.
Very true.

Sorry i didnt specify but i didnt mean a one click s-off tool, i meant the all in one rezound root kit. It can kick the phone into the bootloader if needed.

Well, I've noticed with my photon the vibrator stops a lot and i have to bang the phone to make it work again, and this very annoying when my phone is on vibrate (missed texts and such) or when typing, I don't get my feedback that I really need, so i took the phone apart in hopes of simple replacement (like in my evo 3d) but it looks like it's soldered to the board, can anyone confirm this? I would rather not have to replace my entire phone just for a vibration issue :/
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
Yes, it is soldered to the circuit board. I've done similar repairs on other phones, so use a 20 watt iron and go slow. It's not very hard to replace.

Thanks for the reply, since i have extra phones anyway, I might give it a whirl

Btw, when you try it, use desoldering braid to remove it. Less chance of messing up.

wow, i don't think i can do this, i don't know how moto put this together, but it looks like i'm getting it off, whelp, looks like i'll just have to get the phone replaced, no biggie
Take a look at my girlfriends note 2, she was at work and plugged it in to charge and a few minutes later smelled burning and her phone was off. She opened the back cover and found the wireless charging pins had overheated and was burning through the back cover. What do you think could have caused this? Phone still works except calls can only be heard on speakerphone. Crazy...

Verizon note2? Wireless charging pins aren't exposed, elaborate?
If another model I'd guess some residue on the inside of the backing grounded the 2 pins? If you ever picked up an oily car battery you might know how little it takes.. >_>

I'd march right into the Verizon store and show them. I could almost guarantee you they'd order you a new replacement for sure.
Doin' big thangs from my Note Deuce
Verizon overnighted a replacement as soon as I took it into the store so they could see the damage on the phone.

I've found that my problem is my charging Jack on the phone.There is something mechanically intermittent. Does anybody know anyone who might do this work instead of sending it back to the factory? I'll be happy to pay well.

Is it charging then not charging? On my old one my charger flex cable went bad and I had to replace it because eventually my phone stopped charging all together. Its like a 10 dollar part and takes about 15 minutes to replace. There are guides on YouTube to talk ya through it.

I had issues with the usb port cutting in and out when connecting to charger or computer,
Changed cables and did nothing same deal,
Then I changed roms and some magical way it fixed it not sure how that all worked out but maybe this will help,
goodluck
I sent it away.
For forty dollars it came back as good as new and the old part was obviously defective.

Yes, but the troubleshooting process is to go from simple to complex, from cheap to expensive. Cracked solder joints and lint would both give intermittent errors.
It was a suggestion, not an argument.

I understand that. I just wanted to make it clear to others that when the simple solutions don't work, and you're not confident of doing the work yourself, there is a reasonably priced reliable alternative.

Honestly it sounds like a dirty head phone jack. And in your case I would use something a little moist, not really wet at all and clean it out.

I just had this issue when I (half-brained) decided to clean the ports out on my DNA with a soft-bristle toothbrush, since my font LED was extremely dim. After cleaning some lint out of the jack, I must've left some in, as it took some cycles of plugging in and unplugging earphones to get it working again. Haven't had trouble since.
Had this same issue. Use a needle and carefully pry the 2 little tabs inside for better contact.

I had the same issue with both my old DNA and my current one. I actually warrantied out my old one because of the issue my current one I managed to fix. I was reading online (i googled the issue) and found a couple other people had the same problem. I work for an IT company that uses the Square Card readers to accept credit cards so I HAD to get the issue fixed. Someone suggested using compressed air, aka canned air, and spray into the jack. Worked like a dream. Haven't had an issue since I did this.
If none of the cleaning tips work, there is an app called SoudAbout on the Play Store. You can use it too force the audio through the jack even if your phone doesn't recognize they're plugged in. The free version is all I've used. Link
