Someone help please! - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Recently upgraded to WM6 off the t-mobile page that someone posted on here. Everything was fine ofr a week or so, then things started going wrong on me today.
if i go to the start menu and then programs, it opens fine, but as soon as i press on something (i.e. media player) it changes and says "Windows Media" in the top left hand corner but all i can see is the program list still, almost as if its an image over the program.
I tried Hard resetting but cant seem to get it to work ( the two buttons way wont work and the second way i cant see the clear storage program just like media player)
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

For the hard reset try hitting the windows + OK (the middle two buttons to the right & left of the dpad) then while holding those two in with the stylus tap the reset switch on the bottom of the phone. Not sure if this was the sequence you used because you did not say.
or
Re Flash the phone.

The first hard reset i tried was with the camera and voice call buttons as it says on some websites and that didnt work, just tried that way you suggested and it just reset normally.
I was planning on re-flashing but, when i connect to usb the ornage light comes on to charge but the pc doesnt detect it.

What device do you have? Refer to your manual for hard reset. If not, use the clear storage in settings>system menu.

USB not Connecting

Go into the Settings/Connection Settings and on the USB connection disable the advanced by un-ticking it's check box and you should connect normally. In WM6 it's enabled by default but does not work correctly most of the time.

S200 SOS!!!

Hello,
Can someone help please, I’ve overclocked my Qtek S200 (Prophet) to such a speed that my phone is not capable to run on.
The difficulty is, before I have done this I foolishly “Registered” in start-up menu for the overclocking software to run at 288 MHz.
Now when restarting, the phone is reaching a point of Window Mobile and then it’s either stops dead or restarting it self constantly.
I can guess the solution but don't know how to do it I need somehow to stop Overclocking software to be used during a boot up.
Or maybe even a hard-reset. (I did that already but it’ freezes at the point where I can see 3colors on the screen and nothing further. Any suggestions please?
The easyest way is to perform a Hard Reset. Make sure you have the power button, the camera and the comm manager button pressed while reset ing the S200. The other way is to take a look at the startup folder and see if there's a program that is automaticaly launched on startup that changes the speed of the device. The only thing you have to do is delete that entry...
Hope it helps.
RE: SOS
I did try it to do hard reset the way you said, in the end this really helped.
I removed the battery and left it for about an hour. Then plugged my USB cable, done what you normally do on Hard Reset, by pressing Photo button on the side and Comm. Button and pushed the pen. When phone stopped at the point where I could see 3 colours, at the bottom USB text appeared. I re-install new ROM and magic! My phone is back from the dead 

Uh OHHHH

After devunlocking last night, now my phone is messed up
The problem is the back,windows and search button no longer work, the portion of the screen that they take up is now like an extension of thescreen it just selects stuff as if it were at the bottom of the screen. Any help to reset all the files in root to factory, I tried to hard reset and soft reset.
Maybe I screwed up the registry or some files. Thanks for any help
try factory reset. hold camera + volume down + power. when phone vibrate release power button while holding the other 2 buttons. should prompt you to reset your phone. hope that works
Thx
I tried that but it enters USB Host mode, I also tried holding down up and down volume and power button to reset which resets it but doesn'tfixmy problem. it's acting like the part of the screen where the windows, search and back button are are now part of the regular screen and those 3 buttons no longer do anything.
This sounds rather like a hardware error. Your calibration of the touchscreen is messed up. I suggest you send it in. You still should have warranty?!
Btw. I don't think this has a connection to unlocking the phone!
If the phone hasn't been tampered with physically, it should be enough to just sync it without re-unlocking it, and it should be locked again.
Thx
I got a new one on the way. I didn't delete any files or regedit a bunch of stuff just a standard dev unlock and it started acting squirrly.

[Q] [Assistance Needed]GT N7100 issues

Hi Guys,
I have my N7100 for almost 3 months now and yesterday my son accidentally spilled water on it. The whole unit did not get wet, just the side where the volume rocker is. And it switched off by itself. I removed the battery and let it dry for a few hours. I switched it on and yes it did turn on but one volume button ( - ) is not working and the back and menu keys are not working also and it does not recognize any touch on the screen but when I used the S-Pen it recognized it. It's a rooted, heavy customized and tweaked phone. I noticed that it went to "safe mode", it was indicated on the lower left side of the screen and all installed apps were gone. DPi value went into default. I tried to install some apps, it went successfully but I can not find it in the apps drawer. I went into recovery mode, hoping to remove it in safe mode (foolish me, did not even tried to read or search on xda for possible fix), re-flash a custom ROM but same thing. I also found that the two water damage indicators inside the phone turned pink. The components inside were dry when I opened it, but because I am eager to fix it I tried using a hair dryer to (of course) dry it a little bit without damaging anything. After a while I put everything all together, switched it on and it now recognized "touch". But issues with volume key ( - ) and menu&back buttons still remain and it is still in safe mode. I decided to restore it to factory default via recovery mode, I cleared everything, reformatted system, data, all menus with the word "reformat' I pressed them all. Restarted the phone and it just stays on the logo where it says "Samsung Galaxy Note II GT N7100". Tried to go back to recovery mode but with no avail. I tried to go to Download mode also, I was able to make it to the part where it says "press volume up to continue; press volume down to cancel" I then pressed volume up but nothing happens. I pressed the volume up and same thing. Tried to charge it while it is switched off, the battery icon charging appeared, it shows the circle animation but it does not animate and it doesn't animate also like it's charging itself. Plugged it into my laptop and it doesn't recognize it. I've been reading some XDA articles and I only came acrossed one possible way to resurrect it...To get Download Mode without 3-button combo using homemade JIG. Well, I know for a fact that I need to send this to Samsung Service center but I am still hoping that someone here might help me or I may still find other alternative solutions without spending a lot of $$$ in sending it for a repair. Thanks in advance!
Apparently u have formatted system partition. Have u try flash via PC odin? Maybe the download mode will work with odin
Yeah, that's what I thought also. Foolish me! Apparently I can't even try Odin since my laptop does not recognize the phone. I can't even go to the download mode. It was stuck on the part where it says Volume Up: Continue, Volume Down: Cancel.
hmm.. seems like the hard key for the volume are done for. since u already disassemble it, cant u use the manual way to press? it u able to go into download mode, the driver will auto download, well at least it auto download for me
Tried that also mate, but no luck. I think the phone does not recognize the volume rocker. I just noticed that when I pressed and hold the menu key plus the power button it goes to the page where it says volume up: continue...where you are supposed to press volume down+power+menu key right? I tried to press the volume up key to continue but no luck. I was browsing xda the whole day to search for an answer before I send this so Samsung service center. I tried a homemade jig so I can go to download mode but it does not work. I have read that other SGNII users were able to make it work. On the instructions it says to use 3pcs of 100K ohm and a 1k ohm resistors but I used 6pcs of 50k ohm + 1k resistors (since I can't find any 100k ohm resistor on any electronic store near my place) connected it to pin 4 and 5 of a micro usb plug and still no luck, nothing happens. Tried some several combinations.
I have don't have good sleep since my Note II died...Haven't eat properly...Yeah, you read it right...hahaha..Still trying to search for possible fixes, it's 12:40am now and I am almost sleepy, if I still can't find any solutions until tomorrow then I will be sending this to Samsung Service center
or....if Adam will reply on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39387670 then I am willing to dismantle and do whatever he wants me to do just to resurrect the phone...
Can you go into recovery mode? If yes try adb reboot recovery or reboot to bootloader if you have twrp.
this is XXXDDDAAA
Like what I explained on the first post mate, Recovery and Download modes are not possible/can't access them...

the problem is because your volume rocker key and power button are shorted due to water content.. i recommend that you take it to a service center before something worse happens... dont turn on your phone again until its cleaned properly and dried.. take it to proper service ... else its very bad for your device.. coz it can get permanently dead
Yeah, that's what I am going to do today. I surrender can't find any solutions anymore. Will keep you guys posted. Thanks anyway!
It's with Samsung Service Center now. It's OOW and they were able to find out that it was rooted (of course!) I paid Php1,200 under the table (on one of the technicians) and now it's In-Warranty again hahaha, but I have to leave the phone for a couple of days or weeks since they need to replace some hardwares. I think that's the best thing I can do instead of paying more for an OOW repair. sad sad sad..weeks without my phone with me...going back to my old phones for the meantime...

[Q] Universal Switch enabled, screen unresponsive

So I activated Universal Switch on S6 Edge to check it out, something went wrong in the settings (long story short, got a pop up while setting it up), now screen unresponsive.
It works, I just get this blue horizontal line scanning the screen and nothing else but the power button and home button works. Tried safe mode, no bueno. How can I disable US feature without resetting to factory or at least no data wipe (if possible!)?
Android 5.0, rooted with pingpong, no custom recovery, knox 0x0.
All help is appreciated.
Same
[The exact same thing just happened to me someone please help
Fixed!
The way I had fixed this is by holding down the power button, both up and down sound buttons, and the home button until it restarted. When the device turned back on it gave the option to turn the setting off. Hope it helped!

how to turn off universal switch
hit home button 3 times
Thanks alot
It worked buddy
It doesn't give me the option to turn it off
Hi,
I have been struggling with Universal Switch on a Samsung S5 Neo. I switched it on, but was never able to switch it off again.
These are findings so far:
-> Did a factory reset using "Sound Up", "Home" and "Power" button simultaneous.
-> The device comes back and wants to configure itself again.
-> I restored my settings from Google, but this immediately brought back "Universal Switch"
-> Factory Reset again and configured the device, but told Google that I want to use it as a "New Device".
-> Now I can use my device in a proper way.
-> In Google Play Store I find all my Apps which were linked to my account and reinstalled them and I am back in business again.
-> Took me half a day to sort this out.
The programmer who designed and programmed this should be hung and shot and poisoned, because this is absolute Crapware.
Hope this helps for all the others who are suffering.
You can also push the home button three times and it should turn it off.
thank u ur the best
Ok, so i have exactly the same problem except my home button doesn't work
Anyone one know how to sort this without having to take it in to a store?
I was faced with this problem before and looked everywhere and couldnt find a fix. This was a while ago. So I dont remember what I did to clear it. I was cleaning off the screen and touched the home button as I was wiping it off and the problem began again.... I just came across your comment because all the others failed. I pressed the home button 3 times quickly and the blue lines stopped scrolling. In addition, I went over the accessibility and I turned off the "Universal Switch" option as much as the option allows. I hate this function. I do not use it or need it (for my needs). I hope I can remember what to do next time this happens. I swore to myself I would remember last time, but apparently that wasnt a guarantee. This time, I will write it down and put is somewhere I know I will find it next time I see these nefarious blue lines scrolling. Hopefully I wont see it again since I disabled it more than it was to begin with. Thank you ever so for commenting. You saved me a lot of frustration!
great fix

Have you tried pressing it rapidly three times?
It happens to me too, have you solved this problem? Please tell me what to do im freaking out right now
me too @Alifanasya
same issue
it works with OTG cable + mouse

notification pull down bar, home, multi-task buttons not working!

So my phone was in my pocket and it was getting hot so i took it out, and saw it on the boot animation. I left it and it didn't go past this boot screen so i held in the power button to restart it, and it restarted. Only when i turned it on, my 4G plan was active, and I could no longer use the notification pull down bar. I can swipe down from the top once, but not a second time to access quick settings. Also my circle and square (home and multitask) buttons are not working, the phone vibrates when i touch them but nothing happens, only the triangle (back) button works. On the lock screen, there is no longer an option to swipe right for the camera, and double pressing the home button to activate the camera does nothing, it just turns the display on and off. I have tried putting the phone into safe mode to see if an app was causing the problem, but the problem persists, when i turned my phone back on normally, the widgets on my home screen had disappeared. I tried switching accounts to the guest account but it says 'switching to guest' and then seems to fail to switch to the guest account and quickly says 'switching to (main account name)', before returning to my main account. Any ideas, I really need the problem fixed, thanks in advance!
stock rom??
my advice if you cant fix it try to do a factory reset do it like your last resource cause it wipes all data
another advice you should always have a backup you never know when **** like this happens
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah I am running stock ROM, so strange that this has happened.
I am struggling to backup photos etc as i would usually enable usb debugging and just click and drag the folders over to my PC, but it says on my settings page that 'developer options are not available to this user', so I am having to use another photo backup website, which is annoying.
This happened to be when I manually updated from MMB29Q to MHC19J without flashing MMB29V first. Only solution was to boot into TWRP to backup my files and then factory reset.
