GOOD NEWS! THEY FIX IT ANYWAY! - EMMC Chip Failed, "voided warrenty"

23/06/2011 EDIT: IT SEEMS HTC UK DO NOT REALLY CHECK/OR DO NOT CARE! THEY REPAIRED MY PHONE DESPITE IT BEING RADIO S-OFF AND CWM ON IT! Let's hope this lasts for the remainder of my 2 year warrenty!, although it would be better if the chip just didnt fail!
I checked the status of my repair today and it says " Your phone is ready for pick-up. Our customer service representatives or express delivery staff will contact you about a delivery schedule to return your HTC phone." Which means i should get it tomorrow, happy days
I was turning on my wi-fi when all of a sudden my Desire Z froze, completely!
This is on the second day of use after warrenty repair! (it froze and wouldn't turn on again)
So i pulled the battery out and now the phone is messed up, and i can't send it in for warrenty yet, as it clearly has Radio S-Off and Clockworkmod! (but i do not have eng hboot)
When i turn the phone on it stays at the HTC screen for ages, then after a while it fails to load anything and boots into recovery.
In clockwordmod It displays lots of E: failed to mount cache/recovery.....
I tried to flash a rom but it no longer detects my sdcard(s) (fails to mount that too)
i tried to flash via bootloader and pc10img.zip, but that fails with -fail-pu
i need to send it into htc, but will they check s-off and clockwordmod??? this is in the UK! The phone was only bought in march

Have you tried using a different sd card? If you are unable to mount the other partitions, you may be hosed I'm just curious if changing sd cards might help.

yep, i've tried two that i KNOW work, one of them works in bootloader, so i don't see why it shouldn't work in recovery

It's a hardware issue. You'll have to send it in how it is.
Everyone I've heard of with the issue got it replaced just fine despite being s-off.
There's a thread here about it.

okay, let's hope it's the same for me!
i'm really annoyed at the fact that it broke 1 day after the first hardware failure!

damn im starting to see this issue more than before lately :s im even scared to flash new stuff now

the thing is, i s-offed it, flashed it ONCE since it was repaired and less than 24hours later it freezes and fails -_-

I had a mytouch 4g for a bit and their forums are blowing up about this issue too. It apparently has to do with the emmc chip. It falis to partition any longer or becomes corrupt. There are two that the g2 and the mytouch can come with and one of the chips is much more susceptible to the failure

How exactly do we check the chip?? I would like to check mines to see if I have the bad chip!
Edit: Never mind.. just run this in a terminal or adb
cat /sys/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/name

So those of us getting replacements are more than likely gonna have this newer chip in it? Ugh!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

i don't trust this chip, they only fixed it on thursday, it took all of one day to fail!
and this time they can see that i have s-offed it! (last time it just failed to turn on at all) so i'm worried they'll charge me to fix it!
At least this has a 2year warrenty (length of my contract) but now i'm scared to s-off it when i get it back, incase they don't repair it again!

If you put an eng hboot on, you can brick it nice and proper so they can't see the s-off.

So I'm right then. Those of us getting new phones are up **** crick and gonna brick it for rooting and s offing it huh this sux. I bet they did this **** on purpose so if we tried to s off it that it would bust it. This is ridiculous this is OUR hardware how DARE they.

why dont you total it completely... take a capacitor, take the battery out.. charge the capacitor using a 9v battery and shock all the terminals... it wont turn on then... this is by no means a good way to get out of it but it may work... i hope we could find a solution to fix it but if the chips are crap then try it.... i have done it with my old nokia n95 when it kept freezing... i got a warrenty replacment
dont blame me if it doesnt work though lol its only a thought for you to ponder.... i would try and fix the problem using adb techniques if possible

i did try flash a eng hboot (and desire HD one to try and brick it) on, it fails with -fail-pu, so no can do there!
hopefully they'll fix it regardless, they're picking it up today.
i'm not going to do anything radical to the phone, just incase, if they charge me to fix it, i'll see how much it is, (i'd have to pay £20 to return it un-repaired anyway) if it's too pricey, i'll have it returned, and sell it on ebay and buy another HD2 with that money and whatever i can scrape together!
also, i don't have a capacitor

Not all new G2's are coming with the bad chip. I just got my latest a few weeks back (new in box) and it, thankfully, does have the good chip in it. So, not all hope is lost with getting a replacement.
Also, in the Mytouch 4g forum, many have sent their phones in for replacement just for this reason and many have been rooted and unable to UNroot due to this issue and they have all been replaced without any problems. So, hopefuly you are in that boat and don't have to worry.

Well if it was a new one that might be way. It seems they stopped manufacturing these phones awhile ago so more than likely its been sitting on a stock shelf for months! Unlike a refurb where if the person who sent it back hardware bricked it or something, they probably had to change the emmc chip in it :/

S III died yesterday

Hi guys!
Just wanted to share my pain, hope you won´t mind...
This is what happened:
Yesterday I came home from work, pulled my S3 out of my pocket and saw it was turned off. I tried to turn it on, but no luck. The phone was dead! Tried pulling the battery out, leaving it alone for more than 10 mins... tried to boot it into recovery - nothing. Tried the download mode - no signs of life at all. It was just a shiny brick! Putting it on charger didn´t help. No reaction, no led flashing, NOTHING! And just half an hour before everything was fine.
I was running the latest official AOKP build the last couple of days, so I really don´t believe that the software has something to do with it since I didn´t flash anything yesterday. The other question is now if the Samsung guys will notice that the phone wasn´t running stock software and that the warranty is actually void... I hope they won´t! But if they too won´t be able to turn it on, I guess they won´t!
I took the phone to the Samsung service center this morning and didn´t receive any feedback yet. As soon as I know something I´ll share it.
Did anyone happen something similar to this?

awww sorry to hear that , i am sure its covered in warranty

I don't understand the warranty thing, if the phone is dead and not due to you installing a Rom or kernel or modding it then can't really see any reason to refuse fixing or replacing it.
If however it was because of the reason that you did install things then I can see how the warranty is void.
Hope you get it seen to

In 2013, rooting won't be illegal. Too bad it happened to your device, that is just bad luck.

i don't know where you live but i'm pretty sure rooting is not illegal anywhere it just voids your warranty. removing the simlock is an entirely different story

Has happened to me too, 1 week after purchase (got stuck on the Samsung Galaxy SIII on boot). Got mine replaced right there and then but i'm left wondering about the quality of the phone. I get it that there are always problems with every product but i see so many people reporting the same lately i start thinking it may be chronic. Some component failing or some batch where something went wrong..
Sorry to hear that, they are an absolute pain in the ass with warranty in my country. They didn't even want to replace mine because the dude was claiming the back of my phone was slightly scratched (i wasn't, even) and they are quite anal about modded phones but, wish you the best of lucks!

Could you please be a little bit more precise? Is this a rumor or a new law to get passed?

exaclty the same happened to me. just in the middle of the day i realized that my sg3 was off. tried to turn it on but it didnt react. later at home i tried to charge but had the same bad result.
my biggest problem was, that it was rooted and running on a custom firmware since they tell you at every point, that you lose your warranty doing that...
after several hours of trying / searching and reading i became sure, that it would be an hardware fault and sent it to a local cellphone-support center.
they needed about 2 weeks to find out the problem, order a new main board, fix it and luckily didnt care about my custom firmware. they even updated it to the latest offical 4.1!
2 day ago i got it back and became happy - in this 2 weeks i realized how much i depend on this little thing
soo... i feel with you on this and good luck!

This is actually what I´m thinking... that the motherboard died... I just hope that tomorrow or on wednesday, I will at least get informed what is wrong with it... Don´t even dare to think how long it will take to have it again... And yes... I depend on it too!!! Maybe even too much!!! LOL

Stop flashing whatever roms you don't know ,or u will suffer a sever consequence "i'm talking about hard brick" .READ FORUMS AND TUTORIALS

Mine completely died just about 2 weeks ago, stock rom but rooted. Dropped it off at a service centre and got it back today with a shiny new motherboard (and JB)... As long as it's properly dead, they can't tell what's on it as the only way to revive it is to change the innards.

Dude, I´m not a noob, what happened has nothing to do with software.

I entirely accept that this is a generalism and as such is bound to attract a hoard of punters contradicting it, but in many years on these boards I can recall few if any instances where repairs have been refused due to the installation of non-standard ROMs. It is sensible for manufacturers to discourage the practice - XDA-Developers is plagued with ill-informed noobs charging off to do things beyond their technical capabilities without doing adequate research - but I suspect a refusal to play the game would be counterproductive.
That said, I would always be inclined to revert back to a stock ROM and clean up a bit if I had the option before doing a return for repair.

its the same thing that happened to my phone running cm10 about 2 days ago.
sent my phone in for repairs to samsung. they probably won't be able to find out it was modified. probably needs to change hardware to even boot the phone up.
disappointing experience. :/

by any means, did you played with the clock levels?

It's not illegal. You won't go to prison or even get sued (Android is not Apple). It just void your warranty.

just got back my phone.
They fixed it even though I rooted & had custom rom installed.
Guess they couldn't tell as the phone couldn't even start up. hahah.
Now restoring the latest nandroid I had.

Nice to here that pal, hope this will not happen to anyone in future... this is my 2nd GS 3 (first broken due to Barca loss vs Madrid in August) and never had hardware problems.

So... here I am again...
Got my phone back yesterday. And it was the motherboard so they replaced it.
Man was I happy to have my phone back! But... my hapiness didn't last long.
When I came home I had to discover that now the gyroscope is not working. No autorotate whatsoever, no games that require the accelerometer...
Means they just replaced the mother board, flashed the latest firmware but didn't bother to test the device.
So tomorrow I'm going back to the service center and I'm going to yell my soul out at whoever responsible...
Unbelievable!
(screen rotation is checked, I tried calibrating the gyro, pulling out the battery, etc...)
This is such a disappointing experience... I'll think twice before buying a Samsung phone again...

[Q] LG E960

Ive had the above for about a month never have i been satisfied with the volume (being hard of hearing doesnt help)to the point where id all ready booked a repair date for next week
The phones unlocked and rooted (bit obvious else i wouldn't be on this forum would i )and in truth ive been playin with a lot of patches and apps out there to improve the volume
Now yesterday after tryin beats xlouder and a couple of sound boost apps. i followed a link to bryce09 kernel which i flashed only to find it killed the phone and i mean KILLED
Ive tried the Nexus repair toolkit/Wgfresh on a VM running W7 and nothing!!
Now im on an iMac and ive run Galaxy Nexus GSM unroot/stock and it goes through all the processes and at the end says press start
But theres nothing on the screen at all all tho and the power button does nothing
Now if i strip down the phone and disconnect the battery am i right in thinking it will reset it
or as ive all ready got a repair booked is it worth it

Oh hell no. You will void your warranty. Just send it back and get it fixed.

So after speaking with LG about my repair they advised me to get in touch with Google (my god i was looking foreward to that)any way all went well didn't seem to get through to the ignorant irish
Finished up with my RMA and nearly £300 lighter in my pocket which i hoping wont ultimately go through
Gets the replacement Nexus ....now the TNT guy that delivered it i knew as i worked form them for many years he told me that he picks up loads of theses LGs for replacement they ship out to Poland of Korea ....must be by the lorry load
Just wish id knew this before i got rid of my old Sammsung Galaxy Nexus
So any ways its on eBay lol not even going to undo it
with out a doubt worst phone ive had

Please tell me you did not tell them what you did to the phone, because that would have been silly, and partially my fault because I forgot to warn you. If your phone was indeed dead, it would have been difficult for them to tell.

[Q] Can I replace build.prop with Stock Recovery or Odin

Ok, I've looked around for the answer and from what I've ready, I don't think I can do this but I want to make sure I properly understand what I have read.
My phone came stock with AT&T's MF3, i was able to successfully root and debloat the phone without issues. I was very careful the entire process and everything works perfectly. But then what did I do? I modded the build.prop (it was late and I was tired... I shouldn't have done it) file without thinking "I don't have a recovery method if this fails"... I KNEW there was no MF3 firmware available for recovery in Kies, and I knew no one has found an workable solution in Odin... But these didn't cross my mind that night. So, when I rebooted my phone, it would go past the samsung boot logo but never show AT&T's logo. The screen goes black after the Samsung logo, the remains black. After about 10 - 20 seconds the LED at the top left of the phone will turn on blue and throb. If I plug my phone into a USB port, it will try to install drivers as "MTP USB Device" but fail. The longer I leave the phone the warmer it gets regardless of whether or not it's plugged in.
I can boot into Download Mode and Stock Recovery
I've tested the drivers with my wife's phone and everything works as expected
I can boot into Stock Recovery and sideload files (I tried to flash an OTA file another user hosted here, it was sent via ADB sideload but it failed due to my debloating the /system/apps folder)
I've tried using stock recovery to flash a zip file to replace build.prop, but failed (not signed by samsung)
I've successfully flashed the "MF3_BTL_FIX" file another user created to kick a person out of the yellow triangle, when Kies fails.
I've tried best buy, but the samsung specialist will not even plug my phone into their computer
I have a backup build.prop, I just can't figure out how to get it on my phone without a custom recovery.
So, is there any way to replace the build.prop file with Odin/Heimdall or flashing or sideloading something from stock recovery?
My wife has the same phone, so I can also get files from her phone if I need to.
Any help or advice (even if it's "you have to wait for MF3 to be released in kies") would be greatly appreciated.

I'd find another bestbuy and see if you have better luck there.

Unfortunately, yes... It formats /data and /cache... it doesn't touch /system at all (from what I could tell), so the build.prop isn't restored to factory.
What stinks is, I believe ALL i have to do is replace that ONE file! Granted it's a major file... but still, ONE file, keeping me from booting to the OS. I've even been tempted to send it to one of the guys that does the jtag repairs, but to be honest I don't know enough about what they do to know if it would even help or if I could trust them (I assume I could from what little I've read)...
I may just have to go best buy hunting.

I know I've heard of mobiletechvideos before, and I know they would be trust worthy, I've heard GREAT things about them... The other place I saw unbricking phones I ran across on youtube, they have a link to an ebay store (if you search ebay for "Unbrick Service Hard Bricked Samsung Galaxy S4 i337" you'll find them). They are actually a whole lot cheaper than mobiletechvideos, which is one of the reasons I looked into them and also why I'm suspicious. Not to discredit them at all, because I personally don't know what kind of work they do.
I don't even know if Jtag will allow them to fix my build.prop file. The ebay place says if the phone doesn't boot normally after doing a repair, they will restore the latest stock ROM and since i'm on MF3, well... They couldn't do much. It also makes me suspicious that in their ebay description it says:
------------------------------------------------------
By purchasing this auction you agree to the following.
1. Jtag service will avoid your warranty.
2. There is no guaranty 100% to fixed your phone, but we do our best.
3. If the phone can not fix, we will refund only $ 30.00, minus $5.80 for shipping cost.
4. If you claim for any problem after successful unbricked the phone, you need to send it back for inspection. Because we tested it before ship.
-------------------------------------------------------
I mean, some of the wording used makes me uncomfortable... I could just be paranoid, the address on the auction IS Carrollton, Texas after all

Just thought I'd update everyone... never found a fix myself, but I did drive to the next nearest best buy with my phone in the yellow triangle mode and the guy said he knew exactly what to do. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful... He even knew how to get the phone in download mode We talked a bit, he never asked about what I may have done to the phone, but during our conversation I had told him I had backed everything up and he kind of winked and said he would take care of me. It seemed like he knew what happened, but he didn't say anything, and the "head Samsung rep", his boss was right there talking with us too. He did a full restore, and I was up and running in 10 minutes. If you get a friendly and knowledgeable employee it's pretty painless.

I had TWRP but cant get into that only fastboot. ADB doesnt show any devices even though i show USB Android Phone ADB Port under Android Phone in Device Manager.
Any ideas are welcome...

I hate to sound blunt but.
Sounds like your best bet is to take a loss. Why should att take a loss at your lack of knowledge?
And to stop messing with phones cause you don't seem to understand the concept. It's not meant to be.

I'm also against the fact that you use the warranty to get a replacement for bricking you phone - which is not covered by warranty. There is a solution to it, but you will need help from someone more competent than me.

I have seen something here that unbricked his device under ubuntu and replaced imgs manually.
Also I have to agree with 20degrees it really sounds like you shouldn't be messing with phones if you bricked 2 in under 24 hours.
Also I would think att will not warranty the phone because you just warrantied one 24 hours ago

Leave your phone alone and they do keep records but truth is they dont know what so they will replace it but it doesn't make it right,
It very clear that you have NO phone skill at all leave it stock.
