Hi all, I've done a research and I know how much this subject was talked about.. ( a lot)
I need to replace my charging port (i think..) and I read that I should order one of the same rev. that I have.
Now, I opened my device (pic att.) and saw that it says "rev0.4".
I've searched a lot of time for the same part and couldnt find a same one!!
plus, there is that small chip at the top left corner, that seems to be missing from all the
charging port parts out there (at least in the pics...)
which part/rev do I need to order?
thanks.
You need to either:-
*Find KeithRoss39's guide to this in General (not stickied; search for 'replace USB charger board', or there's a link in Hopper8's Odin troubleshooting guide which is stickied in general).
*If you're still unsure or if it doesn't have the information you need (and it is very thorough), wait & hope Keith sees your thread & responds. He is the expert on this sort of thing here, and I very much doubt anyone else who posts here regularly will be able to give you useful information.
I've alredy read that guide...
It says clearly " you need to match this REV number with the one on the board you remove",
but it doesnt seems to help much, because I find no mention of my rev (0.4) anywhere...
This part is very cheap and i would have consider to buy other rev even just for testing but
then I see the difference in the pictures (that chip..) ...
ahhh Im frustrated...
*cough*

A **NEW** feature has been added to the forum. It's called "SEARCH". It lets you find things from days-gone-by that could apply to your VERY situation! Also, a fantastic part of the site, the WIKI also has GREAT information. WIKI is like a big book of knowledge. It tells you how to FIX your brick without bugging the rest of us.
If you can't read the Wiki, and refuse to use the SEARCH button, NO ONE WILL HELP YOU FIX YOUR BRICK!
Oh, there is also one other way to fix your brick--guaranteed to make your phone stop being a problem for you... Take phone and all original accessories, and put in a box. Seal with packing tape, and bring to your local post office. PM me for the proper address to send it to (my home address, duh!) and I promise to take GOOD care of the phone! Expect it to be returned never.
Could you add in a bit for people who have not even done anything to check the wiki and use the search instead of PM/posting endless "how do i..." questions?
Ok, go easy guys.
Firstly, I suspect the type of noob who asks these sorts of questions wouldn't stop to read any posts (including this one) before going straight to the "Start New Thread" button. So this is probably just another futile effort to educate
And yes it's annoying, but we're all pretty tolerant around here aren't we? We will usually try to help noobs who ask a question, even if it's just a case of pointing them to the right page.
I find the best thing to do when confronted with a new batch of silly questions from lazy people, is to answer a couple and ignore the rest. Then log out, take a few deep breaths, and come back later!
That said, if there are any noobs reading this thread, please, please, please do use the search and the wiki before posting questions.
Yes, i have bricked device..
It's not that i didn't read wiki or did search on the forum, I simply CAN'T do anything.
I disable USB in activesync and when i connect hermes it's still says "serial"....
Please guys...help

Yes i'm sure. When i connect the usb cable i see on the screen USB and computer makes the sound but mtty doesn't work
Yes, I agree...
Read and Search.
Otherwise the forum becomes a congested mess of repeated questions over and over.
I used to go on my 'soap box' over at TC, and even started threads on 'Search First'
When wpbear told me 'Search', I didn't get offended:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1136130&postcount=593
The people (noobs) who just show up and post a question and get insulted when asked to read up, are like someone who walks into library and expects the people reading books are there to stop what they're doing and answer questions.
Yea, it takes a little research to find what your looking for, but then you learn how to find answers for yourself.
Everyone Wins!

Regarding Searching First, I have heard arguments from both sides.
So whether one has an excuse for why they start a new thread or not, the end result is a bigger problem for others. (Bazillion Threads on the Same Topic.)
Let's pretend I'm the New Guy. I just found this Forum, and now, do I first see if there is standard of expectation from me? Or do I just jump in and start doing things my way?
If I take a little time to figure out how it all works, it stays more organized, and I have only inconvenienced myself. (I did the Work for Myself) But if I just start new threads on everything I think of, I have inconvenienced others by creating more clutter for everyone else to deal with.
Starting a new thread because of not being familiar w/ how things are done may be an excuse for a noob, but one should catch on pretty quickly. And nobody should be made feel bad because they asked them to do a Search.

So we should not ask them to search?
Are you saying we should not mention the "Forum Guidline: To Search Before We Post"?
So the noob asks: (Post #1 ) 'What's the Flashing Snowflake Thingy?" We just tell him, and give him a Link?
So now the noob asks: (Post #2) "Why is my Hotsync hanging at my Contacts?" or "My computer says it Doesn't Recognize the USB Device"
So the noob just goes on, starting new Threads, everytime they need an answer.
To use an illustration:
What do you do when you go into a Library, Do you just go sit down and ask the people around you anything you want to know?
What if one of those people asked you to go and try to find the answer in one of the many books on that subject?

I better get back to work. :-/
You guys are in the right. I just got my hermy for my bday and I made sure to read everything carefully before I even attempted to do anything to it. Now my phone is SuperCID and SIM unlocked thanks to you guys. This website is the greatest and I am really thankful for eveyones hard work. I hope I eventually get better at so I can contribute and stop being a noob.

Your computer should not make ANY sound when you plug it in since this means you have not disabled Activesync's USB connection, please disable USB connections in Activesync... that means actually do it rather than pretend to.
Yes franula, basically untick every box in the ActiveSync "connection settings" menu, and click "Ok". You should NOT have the ActiveSync icon in your PC's system tray (next to the clock in the bottom right-hand corner).
Then put your Hermes into bootloader mode (by holding down the side "OK" button and the "Power" button, whilst poking "Reset")
Once you get the bootloader's tri-colour screen on your Hermes and you've completely disabled ActiveSync so that it is nowhere to be seen, THEN plug in the USB cable, and try mtty.....

You could have put it in a nicer way. If there are posts from newbies that are already answered in the wiki or in previous posts, we usually just point them to it.
Speaking of wasting space and congeting this forum, this thread is doing just that.
I did it! Everything is ok now.....
It was Windows Vista 64bit issue....
thanx guys
Does anybody have an idea of what the P500 pinout is? And whether it is possible to revive a complitely bricked phone by simply swiching the pins or it will need a box (It's really hard to find boxes for flashing ROMs in Bulgaria).
EDIT: Please only provide answers to my questions, I'm already out of warranty and taking the phone to a service center will cost as much as a completely new phone (Even without replacing thunderg and radios, I'm not sure whether the SIM module is working...)
Wait a little bit. I have some info, but it is somewhere. When I'll find it, all needed info will be in this post
EDIT:

hey guys,
i recently bought a commtiva N700 off ebay from a guy that said his son had entered the pin too many times and now the screen wont turn on.
thinking i may be able to grab a quick bargain i bought it for £30,,
i got it this morn and the device certainly seems to be bricked. when i press any and all combinations of buttons, nothing happens, when i plug it in to the USB cable, the led goes solid red and then flashes red at me..
have i just bought an expensive paper weight or is there anyway of reviving the tablet from death??
thanks!!
So this is def a brick now then? What does the flashing red led mean? Any ideas?

Hmmm, this topic really doesn't belong here - more of a general question ... perhaps a MOD want to move/merge or close this thread as I just pointed another poster in the "general" direction on where to start troubleshooting - might have to use the flash the factory ROM again with their provided utility to stock condition, without root - assuming it's NOT a hardware issue & not covered by factory warranty (or expired already)
For newbies not familiar with Android OS and various how-to's, it's dangerous to try DIY fixes as it will truely turn a "soft" brick into a dead paper-weight brick that's unrecoverable.
My suggestion for where to start is linked here - please post your followup questions & findings in the other thread, it's easier for me to read - for everyone to share AND learn, and other newbies to search for possible solutions as they discover this sub-forum, thanks in advance -

This is specific to the Vpad 7 only or its generic/off-brand equivalent, not other similar Viewsonic devices that I do NOT own nor familiar with.
Many thanks for your help.. i wasn't sure if the general area was the place to use or not.. in general I find the Dev area has more knowledgable and savvy users, although i can understand why they'd get annoyed with Plebs like me trying to answers to inane questions..
i'll follow up with your advice and if a friendly mod could either move or kill this thread it would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks, B.Jay for moving -
Sirgeekalot, I posted a few thoughts on what you folks might want to try next in the other post in this section - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359605
It take time to digest all these info & to try it out, but do let us know what you come up with, if any - so that the rest of us can point out the directions on what possibly steps to take next. Good luck & please try to post in the "other" post next as it will be far easier for everyone - it's a rather small circle of users around the world, compared to iPads and Samsung Galaxy's, etc. so the more we share together, the more we learn ... Thanks & believe me, I understand & share in your frustration in having an expensive "brick" in hand.
Hi there,
My S2 have not been working properly. It won't charge at all. It goes from charging to not charging all the time, so I'm guessing the port is bad. I've decided to change the flex cable which includes a new charging port.
But... There is a couple of different flex cables out there. All for Galaxy S2, but some for "rev 2.2" and some for rev "2.3" etc. So.. my question is:
How do I found out what "rev" my phone is?
Thanks in advance
This has been covered a few times recently. Go thru KeithRoss39's posts, he's the resident expert on this particular matter.

What does "rev" stand for? Searching for "rev" didn't gave me the answers I wanted when using the search box. It doesn't hurt to get it covered again.. It's a forum..
I gave you the means to answer your questions. He has specifically spoken about this in detail (which rev belongs to which SGS2 variant, etc) several times over the past two weeks. He is not a heavy poster here. There aren't many threads you'd need to look at. I'm not about to do that searching for you and/or regurgitate this stuff when it's been done so many times before because you're too lazy to take a brief amount of time to find the answer.
'It doesn't hurt to get it covered again' - Yes it is a forum, and it's a forum where we encourage people to help themselves & learn, we point people in the direction of what they're wanting to know, and we encourage them to go learn it.
I'm putting you on ignore, because I'm just not interested in your response to this post given the tone of your last one & your obvious sense of entitlement, so knock yourself out abusing me in your reply to this, I don't care & won't be reading it.
All you do is look at the fffffffin rev number on your one and order that.
And this is a forum....so dont be a sanctimonious mouthy noob.
Rev:
Revolution
Revision
Reverend
Reverse
Maybe its no.3,who knows or cares.
Ok a few days ago I wasnt paying attention and I installed a ROM on my LG Optimus G and when I restarted, it did not reboot. I have read a number of different forum topics on the subject and done a number of things to attempt to fix it.
From what I read, when the device shows up as QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager, it is end game.
Ok well I did not immediately give up. I found and installed the Qualcomm drivers. I tried LG FlashTools. Of course to no avail.
This guy on EBAY (item 281151982662) will fix it for $24.99. I think that is a fine deal and since I have exhausted my other options, I was preparing to send it off to him.
AND THEN I found a link to "www(dot)zpsjbbs(dot)com/thread-5097-1-1.html -THIS FORUM POST that implies it may be fixable still with a software solution!!
The challenge is of course, that the post is written in Chinese. Google can translate and I feel I will be able to decipher it and search for and find the various pieces of software and try it out.
Question I have is, is it worth the time? Is it possible? Has anyone tried this method? Anyone have English explanation of it?
Thanks in advance. This is my first post here so I can not post links.
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=lg-optimus-g
Try catching Shelnutt2 on this link. This has come up in the past and from memory there is a Qualcomm tool availible, but I am not sure if anyone ever got it to work. There were hex files needed if I remember correctly.
Please , can you tell us what went wrong ?? so no one else tries it if they read it ??
Ive played with the Programs, Its QPST and the hope that it offers up is limited, but Im not a dev either. I can get it to a certain point and that's it, u need hex's off a working phone to get another part of the phone to say ok to get another part of it working... or so it seems, but Im all in on this if anyone wants to dable, this would cure a lot of woes if we hammered this topic. To JTAG my phone it cost 60 bux so the ebay deal if hes credible, is a good deal
