I was going to ask if maybe you were just holding the phone upside down, but then I realized that wouldn't be very helpful.

Hi,
I decided to try out some new ROMS in general as I hadn't updated my phone in ages. I knew I wanted to try out the android version, so I tried the following steps:
1) updated my version of hardspl to 3.28 as the version I had was very old.
2) installed one of the official UK windows ROM to check out the latest vendor offering and update my radio before trying android. think it was the latest O2 one.
3) installed Myn’s Warm Donut to NAND
4 ) installed Incubus26Jc's Super Eclair to NAND
Now, I wanted to try some other windows roms, but cannot get to the tricolored screen. I have tried lots of times, several techniques, but no sign of the tricolor.
I read somewhere that installing an OEM ROM wipes out the hardspl. Is this what has happened? If so, is there a way to re-hardspl my phone from the sd-card (as I cannot make activesync connections anymore), or a way to install a windows-rom from the sd-card without going through the tricolor screen?
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
ET
As far as I am aware flashing a stock rom will not remove HardSPL, in fact I have flashed one of my kaisers with so many roms I have lost count, but never lost HardSPL, even with the latest generic HTC rom, which is pretty much the last word in stock roms as far as kaiser is concerned.
I'm not certain what has happened, but not getting the bootloader is, I'm afraid, very serious, if you have no access to the bootloader then it is very difficult to flash anything.
I'm going to have a good look around some wiki and forum pages, see what I can find out, in the meantime, can you confirm that you have something you can boot to? Even if it's android on nand then there may be some way of figuring out what has happened, and the hope of a fix.
From your post may I assume that all your attempts to get the bootloader ended with a normal boot of some sort?
Hi! Thanks for your very quick reply!
I can currently boot into android, with no probs and have a 2gb sd card I can access via an adapter on the pc.
I tried accessing the bootloader via holding camera and power down, then pressing reset for 3 seconds. also tried holding the buttons down for different permutations of time up to ~30-45 secs. no joy.
Also tried the battery out. put in battery. press power, then camera; or power and camera together.
Everytime I have tried it, i stay on the O2 logo, then the linux bootup stuff flies past.
I suppose the button assignments can't have been switched as the bootloader should be before any of the android stuff, right? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Button assignment can be changed after the OS has booted, but during boot they are hardcoded.
As long as it boots, then the bootloader is still there, and functioning, without a bootloader the phone would not boot at all, I'm actually wondering if the camera button has failed?
yeah, i was wondering about that too. is there a quick way to check within android? all the buttons are different from win. e.g red phone puts phone to sleep and of course there is no camera app to take photos in...
Well since you still got a working nand flashed you could install Warm Donut, camera works in that, however perhaps a simpler way might be just to press it gently, all the way in, if it is working correctly you should feel two 'click' positions, it's not always easy to diagnose hardware failures, but if the internal switch has broken/come adrift, you may be able to feel it.
ok, will try both & post back tomorrow. thanks for your help.
hmm... i think checking camera button in android is not possible because the camera app dont use the hardwarebutton. You have to press a button on screen to take a picture. You can check some buttons in linux bootup phase like the hardwarekeys on front. but not the camera button and the other sidemounted keys...
you can do this to test the camera button (in android):
- switch into text mode: fn + left softkey
- press camera button and tab somewhere on the screen
is there an output with s.th. like "TS-Calibration" then camera button is working
Hmmm, I don't think the camera button is working. During android boot up, all the hard keys output a character to the screen apart from the camera button. toastys suggestion did not yield a camera result either.
This makes sense, as I have tried a ridiculous amount of times to get to the tricolor screen.
has anyone got any ideas of how to load a windows rom back onto nand and bypass the botloader? If not, i guess my only option is to dismantle the phone in the hope that the non-functional camera button is due to a loose contact.
Thanks for the help guys.
No output = no camrea key i'm afraid, it does sound like either a fractured solder joint or something similar, not an easy repair, and yes it will require dismantling to get at the mainboard.
If you have the equipment then simply reflowing the solder joints on the switch should sort it.
As far as I'm aware there is no way to flash without access to the bootloader, however it might be possible to rig up a temporary camera switch using two pieces of thin rework wire, although I don't recommend it without previous experience of surface mount soldering
I'll let you know how it goes.

i tried this for fun. it caused bad calibration when i came out of text mode (fn + right soft key).
cool to find text mode though. that works fine
Hehe i tried this too.
For people who have bad calibration after this: You can fix it with "Dev Tools". Goto "Pointer Location" and you will see what exactly happen to your calibration when you touch the screen. To fix the calibration use the stylus, press & hold camerabutton and tip all corners of your screen clockwise. Begin with the topleft corner.

Reboot also works. just thought others should know
Currently the phone with stock ROMs refuses to turn display upside down when held upside down. Seems this should have been an option - and this has indeed been allowed in CM7.
Would be really grateful if someone can bring the ability to turn the phone display upside down, or by 180 degrees, in the stock ROMs
Thanks
Umm, i thought were talking about androids, not ipads..
Whats the point anyway? People would assume ur not normal because you're holding your phone upside down..

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...
Hiya! A friend of mine has a Sony Xperia S which the "c" key doesn't work when in portrait mode, an "x" or a "v" is registered instead. When rotating the screen to landscape mode it works fine.
I thought it could be software related so I installed the latest Swiftkey to his phone and the key kept not registering anything.
The next thing I thought is that that zone of the screen was somewhat broken or the calibration was off... so I detached Swiftkey and moved it to the top of the screen... and the same thing happened! The "c" key doesn't work in portrait mode regardless of the keyboard and the position of it on the screen. Isn't that weird?
Do you have any idea of what could be the issue here?

Sony's stock version and latest OneOfaKind.
We figured out that it is a hardware problem, and after switching him to Swiftkey having some broken letters is bearable until the phone dies completely.

Sorry for that but this problem in lollipop only. I have it in my device. When I back to JB it's work perfectly and works on marshmallow too.
