Black Screen of Death when updating firmware

[yellowperil]

I have seen quite a few posts about this and thought (on my journey of learning android), I would have a go at addressing this problem.

BlackScreenOfDeath.rar

This file needs to be ADB's onto your device with this command (as long as the device is in debug mode).

The usual ADB rules apply make sure you have your stuff in one location ADB and files then run cmd and :-

adb install -r BlackScreenOfDeath.apk (enter)
ADB SHELL (enter)
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.yellowperil.bsod/.BlackScreenOfDeathActivity (enter)

This will run my apk,
1-it will turn off the lock screen (if its on)
2-temporarily alter the brightness so you can see the screen
3-press the button to set screen brightness
4-exit

you have a un-Black Screen Of Death.



BETA, you use this at your own risk, and you need to be in usb debug mode
