Guys -
I installed the Splashtop 2 on my Nexus 7 running AOKP and Trinity Krenel, and it bricked my device twice. Just running the software and suddenly it crashes, then no buttons work. Then the screen starts to flash and it shuts down. I was unable to get into recovery. I need to push a new recovery to get it running back again. This has happen twice today. Anyone else having this issue?
Its bricked?
So you put it in the trash or sent it back to ASUS?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this is not related to splashtop.
I had an issue using Splashtop 2 today that freaked me out a little. Going from Sharp to Smooth froze my N7 and when it booted back up, which took longer than usual, the speaker made a faint but distinct "hissing" noise then a louder "tap"
Everything is working again but that's never happened before. Not sure I liked Splashtop 2 enough to bother with it after that.

No.. I know how to get out of a jam. The device would not boot afterward the system froze, then rebooting I got stuck at Google screen. Then it wouldn't get into recovery from bootloader I had to flash a new recovery and flash back up. Sounds like it was bricked at the time to me.

I would see why you would say this....however this happened twice when using the new splashtop. My set up or system has not changed in days. Only thing that changed was me installing splashtop. Once I stopped using it and went back to the old one. No issues. Someone else n the market review described the same thing to a t.

Installed HD2 this morning and same problem, freeze when changing from sharp to smooth. Hard reset twice, to get it to boot now the speaker sounds like its blown, was streaming some video from the PC. Running EOS + stock kernel.
Something isn't right with it that's for sure, avoid for now is my advice.

Oh......so its not a brick. Might want to change the title.
Splashtop also froze my Nexus 7, fortunately hasn't knackered the speaker or anything. I was going to blame my undervolt though...

I had this same thing happen to me. Everything froze up then my Nexus rebooted itself. Other than that the app runs pretty damn good for me. No rooting or roms on mine.
PA 1.97a, Trinity Kernel @ 1640 (ondemand/deadline), Nova Launcher, Dark Jelly Theme.
Daily use out of Splashtop with absolutely no issue. It's one of the things I like best about this tablet.
my only negative view towards the nexus 7 is the influx of noobs that dont know what brick means. i have a g1 with a bad spl flash. that is a brick. you sir just need to flash a factory img. your not bricked.

The only reason he can't access recovery is because of a bug in boot loader 3.34 so its even less of a brick and more of a don't OV and OC

Influx of noobs? I've been around XDA a bit longer than you. I am deeply sorry forum wordsmith for using the word brick not in the fashion you so desired.
Moving on:
I just wanted to get this word out there and just making sure its not my device. I spoke with Splash top and "they're on it." So we'll see :highfive:
Sorry good sir. I do suppose that was a bit rude. I may have taken out my dissapointment with what xda is becoming on you. My bad bud. I'm not here to compare the d!cks bro. I just can't stand seeing all these help I'm bricked threads.

Try acessing recovery through boot loader on a healthy N7 and not plugged in, you will find that you can't access recovery. There's quite a few "Q" threads saying that I OC to 1600 and overvolted by 50MHz across the board, and my nexus fried? Why is this??

I've got the same problem with Splashtop and Nexus 7. Original ROM, no root. After switching smooth<>shart Nexus just reboots. Also there seems to be nothing interesting in logcat.

I recently rooted my incredible 2 successfully and got CM7 on with no problem. I was trying to install a new splash screen, but accidentally installed my existing radio (1.09.01.0722) instead. Now I can't get any wireless signal or dial *228. I've tried different radios, but none of them work now. Any ideas?
thanks
You're able to still use the phone, but you don't get any data or anything?

It's not bricked if you can turn in on.....
Did you remove the radio file after you flashed?
Had same issue on build 109 I placed a call and it fixed it. Yes placed a call with no 3g or 1x and no baseband showing in software. 3g then showed up and baseband updated.

Try reflashing your original stock ROM and everything... Do the Ruu if nothing else works.. you'll lose root, but your phone will most likely work again... Then if you really want to, reroot.

This is what I was about to say. seems like your only option and hope it fixes it.
I always thought that the flashing your Radio twice thing was just a rumor cause I can never find any answer as to why this would brick your device.
guess it doesn't care it just does!
Hope you can get an insurance replacement being rooted. Verizon wouldn't even cover my week old battery that was bad from the factory and wouldnt take a complete charge because the VZW dip behind the counter noticed the custom boot screen and started asking questions. guess I should have hidden my mods!
I really wish you guys would look up the definition of "brick" if you don't understand what a BRICK is. please refer:
Bricked
Bricked refers to ANY hardware that is unable to start up due to bad software; Usually because of a bad software flash, a modification done improperly, loss of necessary files, being overheated from overclocking or overuse if the item is a lemon, a short-circuiting, or a Trojan that deletes necessary files for a few examples.
The noob bricked his PSP because he took out the battery while running a firmware update.

Hey guys!
I just downloaded ViciousMIUI and installed on to my GNex, first the contacts app kept on crashing (Android.Process.Acore) but we all know how to fix that...
And then I noticied, that my on-screen controls had gone... I'm currently restoring my codename Android ROM, so I have got enough time to ask, if anyone else has had this problem with this ROM, or is it just my phone, again...
I would appreciate quick answers...

It has nothing to do with being on contract. Basicly it is one if these options:
1) Bad download. This CAN happen from ROM manager also.
2) You messed up the install, you said something about messing with SystemUI so that may have been it.
3) Your phone is borked.....not likely at all.
My bet is 1 or 2.

Don't know what happened, my phone has been going strong with a the SuperGalaxy rom 1.7 with no problems. I recently updated to 1.8 and it ran fine for the past two days with no problems. Then after leaving the phone on the charger at work yesterday, the phone kept resetting randomly. I unplugged it, hard reset, flashed a different rom, everything, and it still keep resetting randomly. Not sure what the problem is, any suggestions?
Edit: I'm a dumbass, realized my cpu was under clocked to 800mhz, running smooth at 1400mhz now.
okay, i'm not a dumbass (maybe). Phone keeps resetting on its own randomly still but less frequently after I overclocked.
How is your battery condition? Like how old is it? Do you have and tweaks (kobridge or phakker scripts)
Cpusleep app? And you said it happens on a few ROMs, I would say it maybe a battery or hardware issue. Also, do you check the MD5 sums before you flash the different ROMs?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Battery condition is good, I actually have two oem batteries that I use daily and swap them when one dies.
I'm not running any tweaks currently, but when I flashed the roms recently its been through a nandroid backup of my previous working rom. But I'll try a clean install without a backup and see if that works. Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Okay, just did a fresh clean install from recovery. The phone still resets, I've noticed if it's plugged in to a charger though instead of resetting it will just turn off and show me the battery charging screen.
Also, how do you check the MD5 sums? I always thought the phone recovery automatically checks this before it flashes a rom?

Are you using a stock battery charger? Is the charging cable damaged or loose? I had an issue with an after market charger making my phone freeze up before.
Not to my knowladge, but it never hurts to check it. I use md5sum app.

Okay, I flashed a totally different ROM and it seemed to have solved the problem for now. Most likely it was a ROM issue, which is kind of weird since it was using the same rom before without any issues, even when I did a recovery of it. Oh well, maybe it was the right combination of apps and crap. But so far right now, everything is good. Thanks for the help g_ding84!
What were you using to under/overclock? Setcpu specifically has been known to cause the exact issue you were having, namely random reboots, however I would not be shocked to find other overclocking utilities that could cause the same problem. Regardless I'd be willing to bet that whatever you were were using to adjust the clock speeds was the source of the issue as opposed to the ROM.

You may be right on the money with that. It could be causing script confliction. Between the ROM and the CPU app. But I do know that cpu app scripts will override the ROMs cpu scripts, but not all the time.

Does it reboot in download mode? If not..I would odin to stock and go from there see if that fixes things.
Update: still resetting. :crying:
Today its been resetting probably about once every few minutes to ten minutes. It's stupid, like the battery will say 60% and when it reboots on its own, the battery will be at like 10%. No idea what the issue may be, but I might try to see if it will reboot in download mode as some of you suggest and maybe try to flash a stock rom. It seems that when it does go in reboot crackhead mode it will do it even in recovery.
The power button will not be as functional during the crackhead reboot mode as well. I'll press it and nothing will happen, but the screen will come on itself (not sure if this is a delay or just the screen coming on by itself lol).
I'm not too worried about exchanging it as of now, since I'm in the market for a new phone, but would like to fix this issue so I can sell the phone; if not I'll just do the trade in thing with Sprint (even though I won't get as much).

Alternate method to enter recovery?
Does anyone know of a way to enter recovery other than with using the power button? Is there a way to do it through ODIN?
I installed ICS Stock ROM, but I need to be able to enter recovery to do a factory reset.
My power button is broken. I can get into download mode (pressing volume up, volume down, and then inserting usb cable).
If the phone is off, I can also get the phone to power on (by inserting power cord, feeling vibrate, and then quickly removing power cord).
But I can't get into recovery. If anyone has any creative methods, that'd be awesome!
I'm saying goodbye, as well.
After installing ROM after ROM, I never found any that "just worked". Anything 4.4-based had all kinds of busted stuff (1080p video, Netflix, etc). 4.3 had camera/gallery issues. Even with 4.1 and 4.2 (including 4.1 stock), they still seem to suffer from "vbus_present" issues forcing me to reboot any time I unplug the device.
The device froze up on me and corrupted too many photos. I tried asking the community what the "best" ROM was, and mods closed the thread.
I wanted the T989 as a tool. Not something I had to babysit.
Maybe I'll get a Moto G or whatever Motorola's new phone is.

The way I see it....ROMs made of 4.2.2 and higher may have their odd glitches... But that just life bringing android versions to phones who's official support ended. Its either accept the odd problem, or stick with last official update. In this case touch wiz 4.1.2. Which is pretty much perfect.
Flashing custom ROMs comes with the odd glitch, no matter the phone. That's just how it is.
Stock is for those that can't accept the odd issue.
Good luck with your next phone!! The moto g is nice, for its price for sure!!!

A point I should have made.....the devs work hard and for free and for fun....and share with us lucky members.
They do their best with what they have to work with....especially on android versions not even created for our device.
They deserve our respect and thanks. If what's available disappoints anyone....they should keep it to themselves or choose their words wisely.
Without the devs.... We'd have nothing at all. Especially when Google stops giving us official updates.
Be grateful.
Still loving my Herc. Carbon rom with SaberMod Uber kernel and I have no complaints...

Current T989 kitkat bugs piss me off, lol. They seem to be putting finishing touches on it, then all of a sudden they make a bigger change that opens a whole new can of worms.
My power button got stuck several months ago, so I actually opened the phone up and removed the entire thing. To turn my phone on, I plug it in with a usb chord and hold volume up/down until I enter download mode, then I cancel it.
I use an app called Quick Boot to reboot, enter recovery and so on.
Also, I kind of agree with you guys. Sure, the latest 4.4 ROMs are a little buggy, but I've found 4.3 roms to be perfect, in terms of stability.
Got my T989 last november from a friend, second android device I had but the first to get serious with. Also tried to check for newer devices like that LG G2 but the chance for me to get a new one is far less than you can do.

I lucked out. I complained enough to tmobile about the screen blobs and lines from the amoled displays that they kept sending me as refurbs, wrote the CEO an email, then they called and agreed to send me a GS3 LTE, and let me keep my s2, so I immediately sold both phones and got the g2 new.
