Hi All
before i ask for help with my problem i would like to say what a great site this is and although i can't mod my PDA (G4 Chip) i'm having a great time reading about the mods out there, now heres my problem
I brought my mini s about 3 months ago, i've been having the same problem as most user with this phone where it goes into standby and won't come out, this i could live with but my problem has taken a new twist....
I mistakenly done a soft reset while charging and since this has happened the audio/sound on my phone won't work and people can't hear me when i talk, but it's ok if i plug the headset in!! (there seems to be a small buzzing noise coming from it)
i have done a hard reset twice but this still hasn't fixed the problem.
I know i can take it back and have it repaired but the shop i brought it off is over 40 miles away and O2 have informed me i MUST take it back to that shop!!
i see there is the original Roms on this board, if i flashed it with that would that fix the fault?
any help on this would be great
Thanks
A word of warning about flashing the unit, if its under warranty I would take it back rather than mess around with other ROM's - it could/ would invalidate your warranty. It sounds like the device has a hardware fault, but it might be worth trying in the following:
Hard Reset, align screen, follow the stupid MS "this is how to cut/ paste" set the time zone, then sit with the device as it installs the customisation, at the end of which select Corporate mode, enter the code 0506 to prevent O2 rubbish loading, if no different take it back to the shop - Mike
thanks for the advice, will give it a go and see if it works
as for taking it back to the shop i have been meaning to do that for over three weeks now...... but seem the sensible way to go
cheers

Hi, help please. I been using these new builds and working very well, but now I just get 'The SIM card is missing', I have tried other SIM cards with the same message!.. please help
thanks
Help Help Help, please any ideas, my phone is still stuck on sim card missing!
have you tryed reflashing it with different rom?
Yes, flashed with 3 ROM's and also flashed with RADIO's ROM's, but still the same.
This phone is getting worse, with no phone working I still use it for TOMTOM, but now no sound or patchie sounds, music or phone sounds, I flash it back to WM5 still same and flash it back to WM6 but still no sound. Is there anyway to completey delete the phone so nothing on it then flash it.
Maybe it's because you've got an hardware problem ... so maybe you should see your "service after sale" !!
I would if it was still in contract, so I am thinking about taking the thing apart, and see if anything come loose?. any info would be nice, tried searching but nothing
This phone is very sick, if i put a SIM card in it I get a blank screen when it reboots, or if I take SIM out I may get the blank screen which I have to reset couple of times, took the back off but cannot see any connector off. So I have to pay alot of money to fix it or buy another PDA.

My only question is: What changed?
Is there something that you can think of that caused this to occur?
Have you dropped or bumped the phone? Liquid got to it? Charging when the power died or there was a lightning strike?
Without knowing this, there is very little that can be done.
As for pulling the device apart - I would recommend against this. Complex electronics like these have no user-serviceable parts, the most you can do is to look for physical damage (such as burnt components or broken legs on chips) or water damage. And then, even if you did find the damage, you would be able to do very little with it as the components can be hard to find (for any of the chips) and the soldering is extremely difficult (my father hand solders surface-mount components using special liquid-solder and a microscope).
If you want to repair it, find your nearest HTC (or I-Mate\Dopod\O2\etc) repair centre and give it to them. Keep in mind that you've already voided the warranty by installing a custom ROM (although you can just install the manufacturer's ROM and pretend you never used WM6...).
Hope this helps!
I use it every day with TOMTOM or I-go (lorry driver),so getting knock's vibration-yes. camera stop working and green went green-but after a couple of weeks it when back normal. never failed on flashing or stuck on bootmode. NO SIM started I just reset it then it was ok until next time. Then it went back normal for a couple of weeks, then NO SIM came on and couple more things happen(above posts). And that how it stands. So 12 months gone a passed (18 month contract). So its sent it to O2( big bill I think) or buy a PDA (cheap I hope). Or wait and see for upgrade brings
Update on my EXEC, It starts as followed, O2 screen comes up with it info at bottom right then the next screen is the windows mobile6 screen and then black screen, tryed mtty, also re flashed it....now its dead R.I.P...
I think I flashed it too many times so be warned!!!!
Been looking at other PDA phones, none of them comes near EXEC will apart from AMEO(thats nice but too much), so looks like another EXEC I think, and yes I will be flashing that one as well if I get O2 to part with one.
Hi, all tryed to get a new EXEC from O2, but sady they say they dont do it no more, so upgraded to the ORBIT( or should I say down graded). SO I like to say bye bye and watch that flashing because it will kill your phone.
Hi,
I recently dropped my i9023 and smashed the glass.
Bought a new screen with digitizer from global direct parts (www globaldirectparts com/Samsung-GT-I9023-LCD-and-Digitizer-Assembly-p/smsng6102150.htm)
Having put the new screen in it boots up fine and displays perfectly but the touch screen is not working at all and I can't do anything. If I put my smashed screen back in touch input works fine.
I've flashed back to stock I9023XXKB3 and I9023XXKB1 firmware, but nothing seems to help.
The ribbon to the screen doesn't appear to be damaged and because global direct parts had a minimum purchase of 2 I have 2 new ones and they are both unresponsive.
Anyone have any ideas?
My first idea would be to have the manufacturer fix it.
Sorry you are having trouble getting the touch screen to respond. I too have cracked my screen and would be very interested in your strip down and replacement steps as I am going to be doing the same. If you get time, could you write down your steps. There is a pretty good teardown at
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus-S-Teardown/4365/1
but I am not confident of the last bit of using a heat gun to separate the screen from the frame. Did yours come off easy ?
Yes I could have sent it to an authorized repairer but I would of been without the phone for a a while and it would cost twice as much. Plus I like pulling things apart.
markread544 - I pretty much followed the ifixit guide. however when pulling out the motherboard make sure the front and rear cameras and speaker are loose as well otherwise it wont come out.
I didn't use a heat gun, I just applied pressure until it started to lift, it would of definitely been easier if it had been warmed up but I didn't want to use a heat gun either. You would want to use an adjustable heat one on low if you did, I think a hair dryer would work as well.
I pulled mine a bit further apart then they did, the grey part in the attached pic comes off as well which makes it easier to get the screen out of the front bezel which it is also glued to.
Phone is back together at the moment with the cracked screen but I'll take some photos if I pull it apart again.
same problem here.
i bought an lcd on ebay for i9023 (slcd)
display OK , but no tactil response.
i had MP the OP but still no answer.
if you have any suggestion
thanks
how much for the screen? seems that 9023 is cheaper than 9020
80 euros for the less expensive , about 120-150 for the others
I ended up returning the screens from global direct parts and after about a month they gave me a refund.
After being quoted AU $250to get the screen replaced by an authorized repairer I decided to try again and bought a replacement screen on eBay from a seller called stream_beautiful for $86.
Got it today, installed and it works perfectly. No idea why the original screens from global direct didn't work.
I'm sorry to bump such an old thread, but I was wondering if there was any more information on this issue... I ordered an i9023 screen to repair a friend's phone about 2 months ago and had the same issue as the OP with it; touch input didn't work. I then contacted the seller (forceviewer on aliexpress) and he told me he'd replace it. After sending it back I then had to contact him again and send him pictures of the back of the old screen (with which touch input still works) because according to him there are 2 versions. Now I received the second screen a week ago and lo and behold, it exhibited the same problems. I noticed a number on the back of the screen is different, and the atmel IC (which I assume handles the digitizer input) has a different number on it too, however the seller has now adopted the position that it is definitely the correct display (quote: "If the pictures is right
The item will be right
I just send you the one same with your picturs
There are only two version.
Thanks")
Can anyone shed some light on what causes this? I know the guy's company tests their displays before sending them out, so that's probably not the problem, and receiving 2 faulty units in a row would be a bit weird, so I guess there's actually multiple versions (with a different digitizer controller IC?) which aren't compatible with each other... How do I make sure I'm getting the right one for my friend's phone? And, optionally, how would I go about convincing the seller to take this one back too and send me one that really works?
I'm having exactly the same issue...two replacement screens and touch input non responsive, re-install original and hey presto no problem...what I have noticed is that the part number on what I assume is the digitizer is different...
original -> KJ00423-101228-P00-7F-1
replacement -> KJ00423-101228-P00-5F-1
Yeah, my replacement says 6F-1 at the end, I can't check the original right now because my friend has his phone, but I'm willing to bet it doesn't say the same. Maybe I can make my case with this with the vendor, I'd really hate to have to buy another one of these displays for nothing
Guys,
It's the third SLCD screen that one of my fried is replacing to my I9023 Nexus S, and none of them is working. Yesterday he told me that when he bough the third one, the seller told him to "reprogram" the phone, because the drivers for new SLCD will be installed only then.
To be honest I didn't quite understood him, so, I though that the seller means to flash with a ROM. I did that, I installed CyanogenMod 9, everything went fine, but the touch still not working .
Does anyone knows how the phone could be completely wiped. Meaning everything what is in it to be reinstalled from the beginning....
I don't know what else to do, besides to buy a new phone
Hi All,
Just want to ask if anyone came to the solution yet ...?
Cheers,
no touch
Hello
i have the same problem:
1. The display works
2. But no touch reaction
i had bought a new screen for my I 9023 .
thanks for solutions
Yep, I have the same problem.
Original: KJ00423-101216-P00-1F-1
Replacement: (Not responding to touch): KJ00423-110207-P00-1F1
eBay Seller: mike410512
Bump - anyone sort this issue out?
I know this is an old thread, but since I have a shattered SLCD screen and i'm willing to replace it, i'd like to know what to do in case there's no touch response...
To get touch input again
Hi all,
I have smashed my phone screen twice on my S3 i9300. The first time I had the issue with the touch screen not detecting input but displaying correctly, I had taken it to an authorised repair centre and initially they did not know what was wrong.
There is only one way to "fix" this situation. You must remove the custom recovery and then reflash your phone with the stock samsung rom. Flashing the stock rom with stock recovery should pose no problem as it will be "official" and thus not blocked by stock recovery.
After reflashing, you must do a factory wipe + data reset. This is where you change your screen, making sure not to boot the phone for "the first time". If it does not work, repeat the reflash + factory wipe and try again.
The samsung rom will register the new hardware profile, and touch input will work. Why it works this way is beyond me, but taking these steps when changing the screen on a custom rom will ensure that the touch input works. Perhaps custom roms "borrow" drivers left over from stock rom? I don't know.
You can back up your current rom and restore after messing around with the samsung stock rom and you have gotten your touch screen working properly.
I have tried a whole heap of different "solutions" with this problem and this is the only one that works, and if you are taking it to a repair centre, make them aware that you have a custom rom installed.

i'm going to buy a screen + digitizer and i would have some advice about this, what code should i look ??? there are only two kind of screen or more ? what should i ask to the seller ???
Hi people,
I'm just looking for a bit of friendly advice really. I know there are similar threads about both of my separate issues but I just want a bit of help weighing up my options.
I've been enjoying my used TF300T ('unwanted gift') for about 6 months and had CM10 running on it. I have had (very) intermittent problems with the touch screen of the type I've seen described on the forum, where it will lose touch input completely but will come back on if you reboot it or turn the screen off/on etc. This has probably happened about 10 times in 6 months, and never persisted beyond a reboot.
Last week, whilst I was away from home and perhaps less inclined to do the proper forum-trawling, I had the problem reoccur but it was persistent. No touch input at all. Perfectly functional within the dock though. I figured the first thing I would try was a factory reset. I booted recovery only to realise that I had the lovely TWRP touch recovery installed and couldn't use it. At this point, I decided that this was very probably a hardware issue if touch didn't work in the recovery or the main OS (though there may be things I don't know that still muddy the water here??).
I opened it up to have a look if there were any cables needed securing etc. At this point, I realised I was definitely on my own because the 'Warranty void...' sticker had already been broken ('Unwanted gift', eh?). I played with the cable a bit and could get it to behave differently but only succeeded in getting 'ghost' input allover the place. I figured that at least it was receiving some input now and crossed my fingers that a factory reset would 'recalibrate' it in some way.
In desperation and not wanting to pay too much in roaming data on my phone, I didn't come here and do the reading I should have done. I just installed CWM recovery and used that to do a factory reset (It's not compatible, it hung, I powered it off and now I've killed my bootloader. No recovery, no fastboot, only APX. I've now read this scenario a number of times on the forum :crying. So, with my excuses made and story told, my questions are as follows:
1) Am I correct in saying this brick is unrecoverable at the minute? (I didn't create the blob.bin I need to use wheelie and get nvflash access. This blob.bin is device specific and I can't unpack it from a cm10 or ASUS download? I think I probably only need to reflash the bootloader, so might not need bricksafe.img??)
2) If I were to have ASUS reflash this, I believe it comes in somewhere below $100 and could be worthwhile if the touch problem is a software one.. Do you think the touch problem is hardware or software?
3) If the screen is a hardware problem, can anyone tell me which part I might need to replace?
4) If it needs reflashing and a part replaced (either by me or an ASUS engineer), should I really be looking at selling this for parts and getting a new one economically speaking? Are any of the parts I have actually useful to anyone?!
Many thanks for reading a long and complicated post. If it cheers you up, the garage also told me my car isn't worth repairing this week!
I believe that you have a hard brick.
Asus can fix it but they normally just replace the motherboard and charge in the region of $250 for this service.
Your device will come back locked and you a lot of people have found the unlock tool no longer works. Probably due to serial not matching MB.
Best option is sell individual working parts on eBay whilst they have some value and you might get $200+ back. Or sell the unit as faulty for $100+
Sorry for the bad news.
Thanks for the input, sbdags. In terms of selling the parts individually, is it just really the screen and digitizer that have any value? ..and the dock, I guess.
asus service have tools to unlock force recovery mode and reflash it but it is easy to said us motherboard replacement to get to much money lol
Hi,
I realize many of you will state this has been asked before but I really can't find a fix for the phone so I thought maybe it's best to ask my own question and describe the issue.
So I work in a small company dealing with recycled mobile phones. I've been there about a year and a half, I had no training as it was just me and another guy, so it was just google and a lot of help from this site, so thanks guys for all the great help as I've got most of my answers from previously asked questions. I'm not a complete noob, but still have lots to learn.
This question I will keep related to the Moto G. So in my company we managed to pick up around 20 Moto G XT-1032. However around 6 of them seem to have software issues, after a factory reset (after testing) 6 got stuck on a boot loop. So I searched around and found 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219' which I followed and managed to flash the software back to 4.3, I had issues on an XP computer but after trying with a windows 7 it seemed to work and the phone booted up. The 6 which got stuck in a boot loop had previously been factory reset as I could see it was at the factory set-up when I turned them on. So I was quite confused why 6 would get stuck.
So today I actually finally figured out to move to a windows 7 laptop which allowed me to actually flash the phones. After flashing the phone back to 4.3 I tested the phone and all seemed fine, so as these are to be sold I had to factory reset them again (resetting through the standard settings, no special code). So once again they all seemed to get stuck in a bootloop, but instead of an actual bootloop it shows the Motorola logo and then the screen goes black but I can see the backlight is still on, then it just sits there as long as I leave it, over 4 hours so far.
I have attempted a second flash on one of the phones and it's done the same. I'm downloading UK firmware for the xt1032 not the dual sim version. I've held the power button for 120 seconds as someone mentioned that on some random thread. Managed to get to restart and got into the android bios thingy (not sure what it's actually called, hopefully you'll understand what I mean) and attempted a factory reset but it just gets stuck on the black screen (still can see the backlight is on).
I'm now out of ideas, I really don't know what else to try. I'd really appreciate if someone could shine some light on this and what could possibly be causing the issues. The phones look brand new and are known as '14 day returns' meaning someone has returned it from new after 14 days, they are then fully tested by the manufacturer before being sold to companies like ourselves. If it was one phone I'd suspect maybe a hardware issue but because it's 6 I'm just thinking this would be a strange coincidence.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who could give me advice on, unlocking, flashing and anything else which could help me at my place of work. I work with Sony's, HTC's, Lumia's, Samsung's and Motorola's, and also every now and again ZTE and Huawei's. So feel free to contact me if you think you could offer me any advice, all is welcome.
Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance to any advice.
