Charging Failure

Hello all. It's been a long time since I've been to this section of XDA, glad to see it's still got some life left.

I'm trying to get my old i777 working so a friend of mine can borrow it. If I remember correctly, it was running an AOKP rom when I stored it well over a year ago, and it was fine. Today I went to turn it on, nothing. I started charging it, let it go for a few hours. It still won't turn on; instead it's acting a bit strange. Every few seconds the screen flashes either the gray battery charging logo, an instant dim flash of the entire screen (a slight gray, nothing bright), or the home/back/etc buttons flash for an instant. When the charge logo appears, the screen brightens just before it goes off. All buttons are unresponsive, my computer does not recognize it. I've been unsuccessful in finding any real help with Google and searching XDA. The only advice I found was to plug it in without the battery, then put the battery in. This did not help. Any feedback would be appreciated - this little phone has a lot of sentimental value to me. It's been through hell and back, it survived my ex (who managed to break a Nokia 3310 and Nokia 920). If I have to put it to rest, I guess it's earned it, but I'd like to keep it going for just a while longer.

Help! Nexus 7 2013 repair failure! Broken motherboard

So last night i dropped my tablet and the screen had cracks all over it, well i watched a bunch of tear down, and screen repair videos on youtube, then tried to take it apart to fix it myself. But when i tried to remove the silver motherboard ribbon cable, the white connector broke off of the motherboard. :crying: :crying:

Note that warranty expired several months ago.

What should i do? is replacement motherboard and screen assembly worth it?

TWRP Failure

Hello, recently I have ported a new rom for my xolo omega 5.0 and when i went to install it on my device using twrp recovery it is only showing me a red 'failed' error message and 'updating partition details'. I want to know where is the problem, whether it is in my recovery or whether in the ported rom.:(:confused:

[HELP] failure on microSD and wont even stable load on Windows/Ubuntu, CALL for help?

This is a post, asking for some short of last chance of help, before calling the professionals

Yesterday, my phone went off (with quite a battery still) and when restarting a worrying message appear : "Impossible to mound SD card, it may be corrupted".
(and of course, with a outdated backup on my pc for weeks...)

I have read other posts, and nothing seems to help:

The microSD is a Transcend 16GB class4, not sure this info is key, but let it be know.
As Android doesn't load, I switch to PC, I plug the microSD into a USB adapter and go

First on Windows:
I try to load content, SD appear for few seconds and then disappear again.
On DISKPART >> list volume, The error message: "Virtual Disk Service Error: the object has been "

Try ZAR-X, and it keeps on "Enumerating devices, please wait", and does not do anything else

As things get ugly, I switch to linux (Ubuntu)
Trying to load on folder browser I got:

Unable to mount sd-ext
Error mounting /dev/sdc2 at /media/ubuntu/sd-ext:
Command line 'mount -t "ext3" -o "uhelper=udisk2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/sdc2" "/media/ubuntu/sd-ext/" '
exited with non-zero exit status 32: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc2,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog -try dmesg | tail or so

or:

Error mounting /dev/sdc2 at /media/ubuntu/sd-ext:
Command-line `mount -t "ext3" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/sdc2" "/media/ubuntu/sd-ext"'
exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: /dev/sdc2 is not a valid block device

or:

Unable to open folder for 15GB Volume
Error when getting information for file '/media/ubuntu/ES64-FA45': No such file or directory

went back to basis and run "sudo fdisk -l" and here I notice similar behiviour that windows, during the first 30 seconds or so after inserting the microSD/USB into the computer I it apear (among other disks) :

Disk /dev/sdc: 15.9 GB, 15931539456 bytes

/dev/sdc3 30617188 31116287 249550 82 Linux swap / Solaris

but after those 30 second, no trace of the usb in the fdisk-list


I wonder if there is something else I can do from my limited hardware availability, and even that following attempts could damage further the microSD

On mention posts, it is told about dd_rescue :

On Linux can try dd_rescue. It creates copy like normal dd but it does not abort on errors.
Copy card to file and then mount this file like drive
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...6&postcount=19

is that something I could apply? OR something else I could do on my side?

or my last chance would be to put the SD in the hands of professionals and let do the job with open-heart-surgery-microscopy-tools?
(like those on : http://card-recovery.biz/us/service.php)

The data I have in the SD and not in the backup is enough valuable indeed to go that way, (on the other hand, house&personal insurance may also cover part of this cost)

----

By the way, two more things:

S-OFF, on one post, it is said:

S-OFF
This actually sounds a lot like what can happen to SD cards on some HTC devices if the S-OFF goes bad
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1917058)

but I can't find what shrike1978 was refering to

Real Time backup sync

Even I do regulary backups (or I intent to) I come to this situation.
Is there a tool/app/configuration that allows to have a real time synced copy of the contents on the SD (and preferable internal memory of mobile also) so chances of going broke are reduce to nearly ZERO ?
(In my PC I have of course a RAID, really bad there is no such options on Mobiles at cent costs on SD nowadays)

Note 5 Wifi Failure ( gif in thread )

Hey Guys,

FINALLY found a store with a 64 gb T-Mobile note5 and I return my original 32 gb with joy, to return home to find the Wifi is completely broken.

Just wanted to check to see if anyone has seen anything like this before. I'm just stumped. The T-Mobile store I bought it from told me to hold on to it as they don't know when they will get more Note5's in 64gb.

I have included a gif of the problem and I just can't find a single thread to point me in the right direction.


(Fwiw: I have reset it numerous times, deleted caches, even odin'd the original stock Tmobile Note5 rom to see if it was software and still no go. )

It will stay connected until the moment I pull data from wifi etc and no matter what it just goes crazy like the gif. No matter what wifi network it is, even the T-mobile Store one was making it go crazy.
Anyone have any ideas?
