Dead GPU?

Hi,
My phone it's not working anymore...
I just re-installed the original software using SEUS (Sony Update Service), everything went OK but the phone it's still not working.
First I get the "SONY ERICSSON" screen and after that the phone boots to this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The phone seems to be working as Windows 7 recognizes it and If I turn the volume up you can hear it... but display on Android it's not working.
"SONY ERICSSON" screen looks OK without disorted graphics.
The phone have solution? No?
Flashtool might be able to help?
Best Regards.

Did you drop it or get it wet?

Too bad... I can't send it to SONY as I am not the original owner... besides it's the euro version and I live in America...
I also, do not have proof of purchase... do you think there is any other solution? reflow?
Best Regards.

if you dont have the technical knowledge to repair it your own i see no solution then... sorry

I have seen replacements screens on ebay for around $40... might be something worth looking into. I have repaired 2 xplay phones and they are relatively easy to disassemble.... and if yo uare unsure there are tutorials on this forum that show details on how to do this... step by step

I dont think its the screen if he gets the Sony logo its likely the motherboard.
My Motorola Droid did this once I smacked it against a table and it worked again. Likely a motherboard problem there as well but i was getting rid of it anyway.

Yes, I get showed the "SONY ERICSSON" logo correctly.
But adter it enters Android UI, its just that corrupted graphics...
Do you think Flashtool would help? Maybe it has the wrong kernel flashed... dunno.
Best Regards.

How long have you been using Xperia Play ?

But this is a new problem.

I think it's supposedly from a loose cable for screen output or something. Apparently some people have it happen by sliding out the game-pad too much and it knocks the cable loose. Mind you I have not personally had this happen, it's just speculation

Xperia PLAY flex cable it's very cheap...
I have no problem in replacing it...
But... if it is the flex... how do you explain that I can see the SE logo? -->
I am not saying that you are worng, just that I know little and this wouldn't make sense...
Also, it does not make sense that if the graphic chipset is burned, Android boot's normally...

Was it overclocked?

UPDATE: I confirmed and the phone also receives PHONE CALLS.
Do you think it's the flex cable?
Or the motherboard needs a reflow?
Best Regards.

I dont think it need a reflow. If it did nothing would work.
You have flashed back to stock right? Did you try a second time with a different rom? Try flashing back using wotan server

Thanks for your answer...
I tried using Sony Update service... and also got the messed up screen.
Then I dwonloaded R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62__1253-4437_.ftf and flashed it using Flashtool... sadly I got the very same results. Phone works but it shows that messed screen.
I can try Wotanserver... but I would need to pay, right?
Also, I would appreciate if someone could guide me to enable "USB Debuging"; as it's very hard to do it without seeing the screen (digitizer works as I can unlock screen and pick up a call).
With ADB enabled I might be able to check (using Screencast) if the GPU is working properly.
I am also thinking it could be an LCD problem...
UPDATE: Wotan Server it's FREE... flashed with latest firmware but sadly I got the same results... AGAIN.
Problem seems to be hardware, not software... so is it flex? lcd? motherboard?

not sure how it is hardware problem if you see boot logo though. Do you see boot animation aswell?

No, I can't see boot animation.
I just see SE logo and then nothing. Afer that if I press pwr/lock button it shows the mosaic/pixelated screen...
Can someone "guide" me thru the UI to enable ADB? I know how to do it, but I can't remember the exact location of the menus to do it blindly.
With ADB enabled I may be able to run diagnostic on the phone and see if I can find the problem.
Also, about the internal ROM beeing messed... it could be... but then why I am able to flash any rom properly and without any error? Also the phone boots, etc.
Best Regards.

Missing the micro sd card? Check this out!

If you're getting this phone or thinking about it and have doubts because of no sd slot this is the answer. Support these guys and get your micro sd card back!

IMO, this is definitely cool but more novelty than useful. I haven't rooted my GNote 10.1 yet but I have noticed that I cannot move my apps to the SD card. Since both this and my One will be on Jelly Bean, I suspect to encounter the same roadblock. Maybe I'm a minimalist and don't really recognize it, but I don't like the idea of having to add that to my keyring.

I see its usefulness in loading up an SD card with a couple movies or tv shows - watching them and then replacing them with others. Keeps the content off the device and can load up to 64gb of content without touching the phones storage. pretty neat!

I like it because I have over half of my 64gb card filled with music and even though I do have it uploaded to Google music I use neutron to play it and right now there's no way to stream it to neutron

There was already thread on this in general section. Few of us have contributed so should get it in July.

Just contributed. I like to do my TiBu backups to SDcard among other things.

Same here just backed them up since I bought my HTC One 2 days ago. With 32GB the phone should have enough for everything and then when I want to watch some videos I can just plug in my Microsdcard 32GB from my old Captivate Glide and have access to all my Videos. I must say I really like the idea.

I really don't like it. It looks atrocious and leaves itself open to be broken very easily. Why can't they just make a smaller connection and have a cable that wrap around to the back of the device which then connects to what we already have available in flash drives?

This is a really rough sketch, but what you have here is the smallest connection possible (Very little sticks out) and a flat cable then wraps around to the other side of the device to the the actual flash memory module or whatever. It could be anything like a card reader or even what is found on the inside of a flash drive. (Which is already really small) The housing containing this could have an adhesive side so it can stick to the device. There are adhesives that basically don't lose their stickiness so you can remove it when you're done and reattach it when you want to.

You do realize you can buy the device then simply use a cable extension to place it on the rear. If the cable does not exist you can simply make an extension yourself or simply use adapters to get the required connections needed.

very nice idea

Even if that were physically possible, the phone will power the OTG card reader for as long as it's plugged in. Not only would your phone never go into deep sleep, it would keep the 5V boost converter turned on indefinitely. The battery life on that setup would suck.
The product being Kickstarted seems to be meant for swapping files into/out of onboard flash or being actively used (watching movies, torrenting from public wifi, etc)

I don't know where I went wrong, but you're confused about my idea. It is essentially the SAME THING as the kickstarter device... Only difference is the way it looks. Instead of plugging in a device which then hangs directly out of the port you have something that sticks out only a faction of the other device which then sticks on the backside of the device... It is out of your way and less likely to get damaged.

Of course it's just like the Kickstarter device. You wouldn't want to leave it plugged in all the time either.

I'm aware, but I'm confused why it was even mentioned. Nothing I said insinuated that that device was going to be there semi-permanently. The only thing the market offers now is either a dongle or a device like this kickstarter one. The KS device is moving in the right direction, but having a device protrude out of a fragile connection bothers me. My idea helps to fix this issue.

Personally, I like the accessibility of this device. It works much like a current USB flash drive. Plug in to xfer files and then remove.

Bluetooth connection while in bootloader

As you might know, the bootloader of both the LG G Watch and the Samsung Gear Live can be unlocked.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...nlock-the-bootloader-and-root-the-lg-g-watch/
This is necessary (at least for now) to root the watch an there is even already a first custom rom for the G Watch out there.
However, this requires a direct USB connection to the Android Wear device.
The Moto 360's specs are still unknown, but the device won't have any kind of wired connection.
Is it (theoretically) possible to set up a ADB connection to a Android Wear device over Bluetooth while in bootloader?

i was wondering the same the other day
ADB without physical connections? o_0

Not sure if this would work, but have a look at this :

thanks adicool, but from what I'v read so far that should only get you ADB access while in Android
You can reboot into Fastboot from there, but once in Fastboot the watches seem to lose the Bluetooth connection and you have to use the USB connection through the charging cradle - which is not possible in case of the Moto due to wireless charging

Ooh ya, didn't think of that one ! I hope we somehow get access to bluetooth in the boot loader. Hopefully we will know more tomorrow after the official announcement of the Moto 360

This is scary. I may have to wait before buying it to make sure we will be able to mod it. What if it only does OTA updates through the phone? We may never get a custom recovery/rom [emoji33]

i figured it had to do with the new updates allowing you to use your watch away from your phone

Any news from happy owners? Does it even have fastboot mode?

"If you have pressed the power button for 15-20 seconds, and the watch has vibrated twice your Moto 360 will launch into Bootloader mode.
Simply press the Power key to exit Bootloader mode and power up the Moto 360 as usual."
I guess there are similar pins like on the gwatch and Samsung gear live but they are hidden behind the end of the watch band and you have to make a custom USB connector.

Looks like it's under the FCC approval sticker (if that's actually a sticker). I'm basing this off of the iFixit teardown.

Be careful. EVEN iFixit broke the plastic cap on the back of the watch. There is quite a lot of double-sided tape. You break that and watertight/dusttight operation goes out the window.

I would hope he can peel off a sticker without cracking the back casing. Looks like it just needs some small pogo pins and it will work great. Peeling the sticker off does likely remove the water and dust protection though.

I've been wondering the same thing. I have been tempted to try it myself but I would be stabbing blindly at it. Someone has to more knowledge to guide them than i do.

So I took it upon myself, turns out if you use a razor blade you can keep the FCC sticker in good condition, but since it exposes holes I would say bye bye IP67...
Band removes easily (use a tiny screwdriver to avoid damage):

Can't see anything?

good luck also you may have to push downon the device while it is on the cable or also try stripping the red and black wires

Anyone else having issues getting this to recognize on their PC? I have one made, but when I connect, it shows up as "unknown device". I've tried the Universal Drivers, Samsung Drivers, and Motorola Drivers. Nothing seems to work right to connect to fastboot. Could it be possible that I have one of my D+ or D- cable criss-crossed?

The moment usb connects it sends commands back and forth so if the contacts bounce when you make contact windows thinks the wire is broken and says error...

Made this cable from another type of Ethernet jack which does not require the drilling... But I don't want to peel my sticker unless there is a compelling reason to unlock the BL.

Well, i picked up a multi meter from Walmart and quickly discovered that my jig had continuity so after a little investigating it seemed that the USB ports on the computer weren't responding, tho that was easily fixed with a restart.
Great news!..... Except for the fact that i can't for the life of me get a good enough connection to the watch to even get the drivers installed, let alone run some commands in fastboot.
Hampered by a migraine headache i gave up for the night and I'll give it another go in the morning.

I used one that I purchased from Lowes a while ago so I already had it laying around. It is On-Q LegrandRJ45 Data/Phone Jack, here is a link:
http://www.legrand.us/onq/structured-wiring/preconfigured/inserts/wp3460-wh.aspx
After you separate the the two halves of the jack (This was the hardest part) you can slide the front plastic part off and it leaves you with your punchdown back piece and the brass leads sticking straight out so you can just bend them as needed and hook up your wires.
I should have taken pics but I ended up sealing everything up with a nice wrapping after I made sure it was working.
PROTIP: after you assemble the cable use your tester again to make sure each lead in the usb plug is reaching the exposed connectors (I also had trouble with my white and black wires and had to strip them before connecting them)

As I had feared, these were the drivers I had been using. What else could I do?

*BUMP* Any solution to the unknown device found.

In the video, was mentioned that someone may be making the usb connector and have them for sale..if so, may I have a link to purchase.?
I did make my on, but in bootloader mode, once I connected the usb connector, that I made, the device was identified with "fastboot devices" command, and the device did display that the usb tranfer mode was active, but when commands sent as instructed, to reboot bootloader or any command like the unlock command, the adb screen would display something like, not a good command..
long story short, I kept tinkering, thinking I had the usb cable pins connected in wrong slot, so I switch connection to other pins in the device, which was mentioned in the video to be careful and not connect to wrong ones..so I tried this..nothing ever would display, as connected, so I switched back to the original pin layout connection, now in bootloader mode, nothing happens when I connect, the device never displays that I have connected usb like before..
Have I shorted the pins out, and damaged the device to where it will not accept usb connection again.? The device in watch mode functions normally, also when I connect the usb cable I made, the charging (battery) icon displays, like the cable is charging the device, but in adb window, the device has never responded, even originally, before I messed around with the pin layout..now only the charge icon comes up in watch mode, nothing in bootloader mode..
Should I sale this device and purchase another, because this one can NEVER be unlocked now..??

I have the same damn problem with unknown device! WTF??? ANy ideas??

how can you determine the manufacturing date of an LG G4?

also is there upgradable firmware in this phone? (not referring to the ROMs we are flashing, I mean the firmware for the phone's hardware itself, nothing to do with Android)

There is an App which is called LG phone info. You should see the manufacturing date with it

First 3 digits of serial number are year/month in ymm format. 507: 5 = 2015, 07 = July.

Are people checking because of the rumors faulty motherboard?

mine was made May 20, and it works great - this app even tells the three digit LG country code in case you do not have your original box, and want to know if bootloader can be unlocked

does that app show how many times it's been flashed with different roms?

no, and why would it matter, your G4's rewritable internal memory can handle 1000's of flashes throughout its lifetime!

Well, mines is having crazy sections of bootloops for no apparent reason. When it happens it can't enter Recovery. It bootloops even from download mode. When I manage to successfully flash a Kdz, bootloops still come back again after some time. And guess the manufacturing date

check the date in http://imeidata.net/check?imei=<your imei> and go to warranty (or directly http://imeidata.net/warranty/lg?imei=<your imei> )

Mine says it on the box it came in. Same as with my G3, so if you still have your box I'd say that's the easy answer.

what date is frowned upon? What issues are we talking about, the bootlooping? Is that specific to a certain variant or all?

where is the firmware version shown on the box and what is the latest version?

It depends on your variant as far as what the latest version is. Mine is on the side of the box, on a sticker/label.

It was on May. Now it is totally useless stuck in bootloops. Maybe it is the most common manufacturing date and the buggy devices might represent a low %, but not all made on that batch.

what your lg g4 manufacture date

I have had two g4 that were purchased at same time fail right at the 12 mos
They were both 508 date code
Luckly they both replaced under warranty
When they failed they would get stuck at boot screen "lg life is good" sometimes going through endless restarts or just shutting off where you need to pull battery to get it to try again
Data was recovered by freezing. I put in a zip lock bag in freezer for half hour. It would then boot normally. Needed to keep cold entire time, once it heats up it will stop. So use a bucket of ice or run your usb cable out of your freezer while downloading. Tried using a hair dryer to heat, but that method only worked once for a few minutes.
This is a manufacturing defect, some kind of bad solder joint or similar issue.
From my research, appears to happen more often in summer months, like you leave phone in hot car and a weak solder joint gives out. Heating and cooling works to temporarily cause the electrical connection to work through thermal expansion or contraction.
