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.

Is qualcom qsd825 motherboard compatible with marvel 1.5 ghz tri core processor?
Please tell me I understood that wrong and you don't mean you want to replace the processor in the nexus.If I did understand that right, the answer is no, you can't put a tri core cpu,or any replacement cpu for that matter in the nexus.

I am nerdy enought to change my old qsd825 chip.
It ain't workin', man. Otherwise it would be much more common in these forums...
Well sure, if you had the disposable time, income, and know how, you could swap it.
But, afaik, you'd need to write an entirely new kernel, not to mention numerous other things.
But hell, this is xda, anything is possible

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.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
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 ?

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.

Well sometimes I leave my phone by the sink while I shower, uncovered, and I was wondering if it's bad to do that. Could the steam mess up the internal parts or anything?
I have had a problem with the white sticker turning red, meaning water damage same thing.. But no real problems with the phone afterwards, however that voids warranty. :-\ so cover it up, or just leave it somewhere else up to u.

If the moisture (steam) gets to that sticker it will void the known warranty.
Where is the sticker btw? I actually just checked T-Mobile's extended monthly warranty(which I have), and I guess water damage is covered, so I guess this isn't needed anymore.
Well just to be safe. It's back of the phone when you take out the battery is believe.

I jest. I sell wireless for a living and sometimes you get those that come in and ask for the "4G". You ask which one and they look at you like you're an idiot. I then proceed to tell them it's only a type of phone and that there are many 4G phones. Same concept maybe.

All I see is a small, black, circular sticker that says void? Maybe it changes with different gens of the phone?
It is white on bottom right corner of the cutout where the battery fits in think.
I'll check its been there with all my others. I should check haha

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't mount cache or something like that means your emmc gave away.

Your phones gone man. When your chip gives away your phone is dead. I think someone posted a link to a emmc repair service. I don't know what thread that was I though.
