hi all im new to XDA and have recently bought a sensation on orange (uk), ive just had a update and now am having issues with the whole screecapture that they seem to have dropped in.
the issue im having is constantly taking screencaspture's when i press home without pressing the off/lock key i have had a read about and been told it can be fixed but i need to "ROOT" my device first, now im a complete newb to android or anything technical (loving my droid thou) and just want to know does rooting affect the warranty at all? and could any old idiot do it? i.e. me!
also once rooted what are the benefits of this?
thanks for any help you can offer and i hope this is in the correct section sorry if its not
if you root it, its pretty difficult to UNroot back to original (at least for me)
you tried other alternatives other than rooting ? I duuno... probably like revert back to the one you updated ?
HI Guys,
So I just tried to flash the Supercharged v7 rom from the ICS leak and now my phone wont turn on. When I have the battery in it heats up a lot, so I think it's trying to turn on.
Is there anyway to fix this?
Thanks
Little more info please.
Were you on the ICS leak before you tried to flash it? Or GB?
Also any LED lights on?
Have you tried a different battery? Will it boot into fastboot? Hold both voume buttons down while it's off and then press and hold the power button.
And for future reference you should have posted this on SC7's thread as it involves the ROM. Keeps the forum a little tidier.

Hi Sorry... Here is some more info:
Yeah I have tried getting it to boot while holding down both volume buttons, but nothing happens. I was on super the ICS leak when I tried to flash, and no LED lights turn on.
Would any more info be helpful? Sorry, I am new to the android scene (had an iphone before)
Thanks
Ok, sounds like a hardbrick, however, the only thing I would try is to get your hands on another battery and see if it boots that way. Possibly borrow one from an AT&T store?
If it doesn't boot with a new battery it's probably an expensive paperweight now.
How did you flash it? With our new recovery? You didn't use the bootstrapper APK did you?

I used the new recovery. I will bring it to an AT&T store and try a new battery.
You sure you used boot menu? AND did you try to "flash" it? Or did you do a system restore....
Also did the phone die in the middle of the flash? Or would it not reboot?
also just hard bricked.......

Yeah this is the same brick many of us got. the battery will get hot, don't know why, but take it out or it is toast along with the phone, many people had that so you may need a new one. your best bet to fix is to buy a cheap broken phone on ebay with a working main board, so basically you are buying a main board but cheaper because people don't realize the phone i worth anything when the screen is shattered and the camera is shot. then you can pop the new board in your old phone and you are good to go.

So I bought a cheap Atrix2 (with a broken screen) in working condition along with a T5 torx screwdriver on Ebay, then watched on youtube how to replace the screen of an A2 thus figuring out how to replace the motherboard. I most thank lkrasner for suggesting it.

Try and get it replaced with your warranty that's pretty much your only option with a hard brick

It worked for me :laugh: search for this video on youtube "Motorola Atrix 2 Take Apart Repair Guide" And before minute 3 you will know how you can exchange the motherboard your self! Make sure your new motherboard is in working condition and enjoy your Atrix 2.
We have a guide for that guys.

hi all
the touchscreen keyboard is behaving weird. while im pressing a letter , lets say D it brings up 2 different letters such as FS
its happening only with certain letters.i have replaced keyboard app and also restored rom to an earlier backup but it didnt help. physical keyboard works as it should.
any advice to fix this annoying thing?
thx
it's hardware or software
try first
software options wipe data, SBF or try a different rom

hardware option replace digitizer, not very expensive if you can do it your self, but you have to take the phone completely apart

thx for ur reply and time uve spent . it seems to me its digitizer. dono if wanna be hassled with it. maybe its time for a new phone.
Hi, I just wanted to ask, whether it's possible to somehow force the phone to accept new digitizer, which doesn't work with the phone (it won't let the phone boot up - always stuck at logo). The old digitizer works fine, but when I switch it back to the new one, the phone won't boot.
I've got Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160P.
Is there any other option, or do I need to buy a new digitizer?
Any help appriciated

No, you need to buy the correct digitizer.

Damn.. The worst thing is it's visually identical with the original, but has different branding, and I didn't check that and now have completely useless brick.. Nevertheless, thank you for your answer.
Hey guys, so I jumped on the Galaxy S4 bandwagon. But I have a spare atrix 2 that I can't get to boot or anything. It isn't hard bricked at least not that I did, one day it just decided it wasn't going to boot anymore. The screen is in excellent condition, I'm not sure what happened to make it not want to boot, but I have tried charging it and I can't tell if it'
s doing anything or not. So if anyone wants it let know.
