NAND, as with any other type of storage, is efemeral. It will go bad some day.
Compared to say, Magnetic HDD's, NAND is very small lived. Reading does not waste it much, but writing, that's the killer.
We will have bad eMMC. Yet, nand drivers are god at detecting bad blocks and marking them as so. You'll loose some kb for each block, but it's not that much
Yes I do understand it will go bad someday its just that some desire z/g2 and desire s have bricked because of bad emmc so I'm just wondering if those were bad batches or if there are different models of emmc chips which are good and bad.

You might be referring to another issue. On problem is emmc wasting it valuable life in the MTBF estimated time.
The other, is a emmc going bad WAY before MTBF.
I'm not aware of G2/Z problems, as i don't have any. Care to point a link ?
I cant remember the specific thread but this is one I read

Yes that is my thread and certainly appears to be my case. I haven't found anything to confirm yet but my suspicious is that my flash memory is pooched. Does anyone know of any way of actually testing this out? I tried to use recovery e2fsck tools to run a badblocks scan but they didn't seem to run.

The Rom is from sensation that has a higher resolution screen, hence its doesn't fit. If you read the thread even just the 1st post, you would know this.

We are talking about the Sensation ROM and it doesn't fit the DHD screen because the resolution of the HTC Sensation is greater. (960×540 versus 800x480)
Wow, I'm surprised you even managed to navigate through the market and buy an app. Search the god damn forum before even making a post asking a question...

it will work. android has the ability to fit on different screen resolution and sizes
when youre low, on battery and you can't open up the camera app, press *#0*# and press either front cam or megacam, and see if it works!

tried it , couldnt find the file either.
Its just a test of the camera so no file saving. What it does prove (though kind of obvious) is that the battery limitation is a software thing rather than hardware.

Nice one, genius. How might this even be a hardware limitation ? Logical thinking would've rejected this supposition. Btw VilainTweaks includes a fix for this, so we already knew it was possible.
@op: nice try though.

Well yes it is the logical conclusion and also obvious to me but in the interest of avoiding a potentially patronising statement that's why I said 'kind of obvious'
The only possiblility (though disproven by the mods available now) was that although still technically not hardware - if the camera's own firmware rejected operation at certain battery levels then no amount of OS tweeks would get round it.

Lol you're saying yourself that it's not a hardware limitation so you know it and still you reply it.. I can't contradict you because you're doing it on your own.

WTF? I can only presume something was lost in the translation.
No need to be a Dickhead.
Put your device as disk drive, then right click the white space, it should say FAT/FAT32, ...
Right click and click properties.
Wow.
Is there a need to create thread like this. ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Well yes. I know its quite a basic principle but a FAT is required, rather than FAT 32 which cannot be used.
Only trying to be helpful.

Im going to root a friends mytouch4g using this guide http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Glacier:_Full_Update_Guide. But then i found out about bad eMMC chips and what not. What are the chances that his phone has the bad chip?Should i just save him the trouble and not root it just so he doesnt run the risk of his phone bricking.
There is a easy way to check if he does or not. Should be on the first coupe pages in general.
If he does have a bad chip there is a possibility it could fail. However, I know a few members who have rooted with the bad chip and nothing happens. The whole its gonna fail thing is a little blown out of portion. Albeit there is still a higher chance then the other chip. Btw with thr bad chip you can only use the gfree method.

well, you should check which chip he has first...
type this in terminal emulator (free download from market)
Code:
cat /sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device/name
if it comes out with SEM04G, then he's safe, that's the good chip.
if it results with M4G2DE, then you should let HIM decide. although he IS talking a risk, a lot of M4G2DE (bad chip) users have reported of having absolutely no issues with flashing at all after rooting.

So if I try the visionary root method and it fails that means I have to use gfree to root and that would mean it has a bad eMMC chip correct?

Can you still change the splash screen even after you have an EMMC failure?
If you no longer have write privileges to /system then there is no way to change it.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
nope... like eqjunkie said, once the chip is dead, you don't have write access to the phone anymore... so you can't change anything. sorry...
Aww man, I really want to change it but I'm afraid my chip will fail even though I do have the good chip
Is this a "just in case" for warranty purposes?
While there is always a chance of the chip failing, the "good" chips rarely do. Don't be scared.

I changed even with the bad chip, you'll be fine. Also if the chip fries sometimes the phone won't even turn on so they won't be able to see the boot screen.
