Hi & Thanks,
Been using my XDAll for the past few years, had to get the new Flame.
Had a few days, getting used to it, battery ran down. No biggie,
put it back on the charger. After few hours turned it on, just blue
O2 screen, turned it off, back on & half the screen had data, the bottom
half was empty. Shut it off & did hard restart. After coming up, the phone
would not connect. Error message - A wireless radio must be attached -
have done everything & can not get it back. Had not picked up a mem
card no backup and upon resync to pc, the sync data deleted itself, was
in disbelief. SIM ok, rest of unit looks ok, can not find Phone program in
Windows, No IMEI # only small boxes. Does anyone have any ideas ??
Thanks
Take it back and get a new one.

Hi guys, need your help.
Short version:
i own the XDA Stellar, running vanilla WM6.0. tried to install Windows Live but had to soft reset before it ended. now stuck at the green boot screen.
what besides hard reseting can i do? i don't mind breaking the device if i have to, but i want my data back. particularly my text messages. everything else that i need is backed up.
while am on the green boot screen, if i receive an sms, the phone actually rings. but thats basically all it does. when i connect the USB to my computer, nothing pops up.
anyway i can get access to the files directory?
what i've tried:
- soft reseting a number of times
- remove SD card
- removing Battery for a couple of minutes before putting it back in
- connecting USB cable. "nothing pops-up on computer"
- SMSing it. "it rings"
- pressing all buttons on surface of device.
no success
thanks for any help
Long version:
i own the XDA Stellar, running vanilla 6.0. today i downloaded Windows Live for windows mobile to update the one i already had on my device. while it was installing before it reached the end, i got a pop-up telling me that i was running out of space. and it just stayed like that, progress bar wouldn't move. so i went to the device deleted a couple of pictures and tried to cut/paste the voice notes from device to storage card. it refused to allow it. so i decided to soft reset.
when i did soft reset, it got to the green boot screen and is stuck there.
after along wait, i get a white screen telling me the device can't boot because i might have "turned off the device incorrectly" or installed an insecure software and that my only option is to hard reset and lose everything.
while am on the green boot screen, if i receive an sms, the phone actually rings. but thats basically all it does. when i connect the USB to my computer, nothing pops up.
anyway i can get access to the files directory?
Thanks

Last night the battery died on my Tilt 2, I plugged it into my computer to charge, figuring I'd sync it at the same time, and turned it back on. Once the phone powered up, the computer displayed a message saying the phone was locked, and I need to authenticate on the device. No problem, I go to put my code in, it says I used the wrong code, try again this time I'm sure I typed my code. Phone says I entered the wrong code, I keep trying, this goes on until I strike out, it tells me to enter a specific code "a1b2c3" which I do. From this point on, the unlock button does nothing when I press it. No error messages, no unlocking, it just sits there.
At this point, I assume my only option is to do a hard reset, but I'd like to try to avoid that (wouldn't we all, lol). If its my only way to get back onto the phone, I'll do it, just want to explore my options first. Thanks
Yeh i think a HR is the only way out
Do you have a backup of your data? PIM backup is good
I have a LG G2x, got it when it first came out, dont want to buy a new phone really, but this thing is a plague.
the issues didnt matter before because i strictly used it for a very occasional phone call or txt and that was it, but now I'm using it more, and all its problems are too much to deal with. below is a list of issues with details I believe are relevant, if anyone has any suggestion for any of them please share.
Currently running:
Android version 2.3.3
kernal 2.6.32.9
build GR140
software version LG-P999-V21e
Issues:
1. Computer doesnt recognize phone (Can't go into USB Mass storage mode):
-when I plug the phone in, it charges, but no USB signal in the notification bar
-no "enable mass storage mode?",
-turned on/off mass storage mode in settings
-turned on/off usb debugging in settings
-used various (20+) usb cables, no change
-used various (10+) computers, no change
-used various USB ports on each computer, no change
-Installed various versions of LG Drivers and LGs update tool (every version I could find) into my PC
The phone originally went into mass storage mode fine and without trouble. within a few weeks of owning the phone I was given notification of an update and downloaded it, all was fine (I assume this was 2.3.3 from 2.3.2, not sure, wasn't familiar with android back then and didn't know these things). A couple months later I got another notification of a new update and downloaded it. When it was done I couldn't notice any changes, and I believe (its been years) the version stayed the same (2.3.3, LG-P999-V21e) After reading the last few days, it looks like my phone should have been able to upgrade to V21y and I had LG support verify this, but it never did (partially failed update?), using the check for update in my phone yields a never ending "checking server for update", and I'm unable to use the LG update tool because my PC cant recognize my phone.
This stops me from easilly accessing my phones files to share between my pc, plus I cant root or install any other android versions, nor can I even get the latest update for the stock version.
2. Random freezes
From what I can tell the phone stays on but the screen goes out (might be wrong, but I'm sure I heard a phonecall come in once when It did this), the only fix is to pull the battery and put it back in. Supposidly this was fixed in the 2.4.4 update, but I cant get it...so... yea.
3. SMS Messages (sometimes) come in multiple times.
This only recently started in the last 6-8 months, and is occuring with multiple people over multiple networks. Sometimes txting will be completely normal, but other times (random from what I can tell) I'll get the same text 2, 3, 4, 18 times over the course of an hour. It drives me nuts when someone says "sup" to me over and over again for an hour strait. cleared all my messages, cleared cache etc, factory reset, even got a new sim and called tmobile, nothing fixes it.
4. GPS SUCKS:
-cleared data/cache and uninstalled google maps updates
-reset various settings
-gone into hidden menu and altered various settings for the GPS (and set them back to the default ones)
-used various gps testing apps
-added Google to the SLP server list
-tried all combinations of data/wifi/roaming being enabled/disabled
Basically, I recently got data on my phone (never needed it) and tried to use GPS when going somewhere I'd never been to before. The first try googles nav sat there saying "searching for GPS..." and never found me, which I thought was weird because when I open the app it would put me exactly where I'm at, it just would instantly lose me for good. After a few days I realized SOMETIMES it would pick me back up, so I could travel with GPS, it would tell me where to go, lose me, I drive blind for 5-10 minutes, then it'd pick me up again long enough to give me the next turn, or tell me how to get back if I traveled off course.
Unacceptable.
So thats when I started reading and tinkering with settings. I've been able to make it so it -always- finds me within 10 seconds, unless I'm moving. If I'm in a car it will constantly lose me and re-find me (most of the time it can find me within 20-30 seconds, but sometimes it still completely loses me). It's better, but not right, and still only barely useable as a GPS guide for driving. The only fix I've seen that I havent tried yet is editing gps.conf, because I need root access to do so, and I cant do that because of issue #1 and can't find a "one click app/website" that works for my phone and software.
5. Performance in general kind of sucks
-factory reset
My phone was running very, very poorly, but that turned out to be due to 2 years of use, I did a factory reset on it and it sped up significantly, but it still manages to hang really bad in weird ways, maybe I just dont understand how android handles its memory. I can use an app perfectly fine, but if I continue to use it (say for 30+ minutes) my phone will begin to freak out. lock up, not respond, screen shut off, sometimes it even does a "soft restart" as i call it, the screen turns black but not off, then 5-10 minutes later it comes back on and acts like it was shut off completely. Not sure if theres a known performance issue with this phone or if this is just hardware limitation, figured I'd mention it.
==================================
The two issues I really want/need fixed is GPS stability, and mass storage mode. I can even do without mass storage mode, but I really, really want the GPS to work if nothing else.
Thank you in advance for anyone who can help, if I can get this thing to work right I think I'll have a lot of fun tinkering with the android OS.
tl;dr - Computer does not even acknowledge the phone exists, factory reset doesn't work. The cyan colored recovery is recognized by the computer though.
So yesterday I went on a hike, and before you start assuming "Oh he dropped his phone in the water or dirt or something" no I didn't. The hike is more of a tourist attraction really, with a man made path that you really can't miss... more of a stroll in the forest than a hike. So as I reached the end of the trail, I put my phone into Ultra Power Saving Mode as I needed the battery. While I was texting, the phone started acting up. The charging sound kept on coming on kind of like when a charging connection is sh**. Then the screen went black. The weird thing was though, that the screen was "on". I could attempt to capture a screenshot,and it would say "Unable to capture screenshot" in a message box on the bottom, and the ringtones would still go off. The phone stayed like this for a while, when I got into my car I noticed it seemed like the phone was charging from the car port, but the charging light was still on when the charger was unplugged from the car (which shouldn't happen normally). After I stopped in town, the phone worked again, but I had to rechoose my keyboard, theme, and wallpaper. I thought all was fine. However when I got home I noticed I couldn't connect my phone to my laptop. It would say charging, but Windows doesn't acknowledge the phone and I can't choose MTP or PTP on my phone.. it just says charging. I am 99.9% sure it has to do with what happened on the hike because it was working fine before. I tried a factory reset/cache wipe and going back to stock ROM (from CleanROM). Still not recognized. I tried toggling USB debugging, pretty much everything the Internet has thrown at me... I'm past my 14-day return period so I hope this isn't a problem over the next two years?
Yes... different USB and computers don't work. Samsung drivers installed. Kies and SmartSwitch don't recognize the phone. Tried rebooting both phone and computer. Using original cable that came with phone. I've pretty much exhausted everything... If I didn't list it you can suggest to see if I didn't try that.
Cant access device from Windows

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Same problem but no previous reasoning behind it. I have installed the samsung galaxy S6 driver for windows and I get a beep on my PC when I connect it but no detection of device. I have enabled USB Debugging and clicked on connect device as Mass storage device.
AAAArrgghhhh.
WHY?
Hi guys,
So... my Oneplus 6T got wet. The screen and loud speaker did not enjoy it, they are full off.
(TL;DR) How to know if the phone was reseted in RMA, while I have no screen, no speaker, and no adb?(/TL;DR)
The story:
I use my phone as a USB stick at work, and I backup often... Some files are very important to me and not yet backed up (I did not have much time between the storing of the files and the accident...)
I sent my phone to RMA last month right after that accident. It came back from RMA not repaired but it has probably been opened (small pieces of glue around the screen).
Here is the point after it came back:
I know the phone turns on normally, I can even use screen off gestures, and turn it off (1-sec press on the power button, then touch the power off square on the screen because I know where it stands)
My screen is 100% off
adb won't connect (anyway I have never activated the USB debug)
Wifi does not seem to connect to my box
I can make a call, so the network is here when SIM is in
Google "Find my phone" says it's offline even after I've let the SIM in for 3 hours
My paired BT headphones don't connect
So, I assume they factory reseted the phone...
However, the alarm clock still rings in the morning! Is that possible after a reset in RMA? Or is it a sign that I might have not lost everything?
Well, but... how could I check if my phone is indeed reseted or not, please? For sure.
And then, any idea on how to access the internal memory? I tried many things already, even controlling the phone screen off. With no success yet
Thank you!
