[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerkwagon:
Ok im New to the whole Android thing , but i am excited to finally get on board with a Google phone. I like the iphone, i have no problems with it, its just the new carrier wont work with it. I have 2 macs, Macbook and MacPro (hackintosh) Im am very familiar with computer and how stuff works, I understand 70% of the commands i have to copy and paste from forums to make things work. Right now i am stuck (and im 100% sure its not due to the fact my Desktop isnt legit)

I got this phone used last week, fresh install with a certain rom (i dont know wich one, not sure how to tell, have no ideal how to get factory roms etc.) the phone is unlocked.

Before i plug in the usb to my phone, i enable debugging, then i select, USB mass storage.

WHen i connect i get the " Mac os X can't repair the disk "NO NAME"

then the External will mount, (so will the internal) here is what disk Util shows

It says the internal is 2.36 gb with 12.74 gb avail and only 980mb used, 0 number of files..

Now when i try to unmount the external, its fine, when i try to unmount the Internal, (NO NAME) all hell breaks loose, i wont let me, sometimes i get an error saying i cant unmount etc.. when i unplug it from the computer its still on my desktop, DiskUtil goes crazy and doesnt respond, then eventually any program that can see the drive will not respond (finder, activity Monitor)

anyone know a way around this? do i need to put a differnt install on it? its a t-mobile phone, should i just dl their newest update? how do i actually do that? their webpage? thanks for the help

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
I do not think Apple wants ppl to use Android..... Jealousy I guess, You can try a couple of things one would be Downloading this software from: Salling Media sync app for mac This usually works but not all the time and I do not know why.

This will work until you find a real fix from TMO, Samsung. It takes a few steps but works:

First open Terminal (applications - utilities - terminal), then type in "gpt show /dev/disk1" without the quotes. Make sure USB Debugging is turned on. Plug in the phone, it will be detected in Finder as a TMO CD, after a minute that will disappear, you can eject it to get there faster. Then mount the USB device, wait for the disk error message and select "Ignore" then unmount the card then remount it. Then in the Terminal hit Enter to run the "gpt show /dev/disk1 command". You may have to run the command more than once. It should recognize your card at that point. Then you can access the card as usual.

BTW, THIS IS WHY I HATE APPLE, they are excellent at making thing compatible for their products but, give little support to others......
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerkwagon:
yeah i tried that, but when i plug in the phone Network settings pop up no TMO CD

you think it could be because of the custom rom that was installed? I tried to find out wich one i had, but no luck..

it seems like there is somethign wrong with the 16gb partition... maybe a fresh install?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Yes when All else fails fresh install also you might find someone with a windows based computer to check it it amke sure the phone is not the problem
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerkwagon:
Yeah thats my next option.. VM wont work because OSX see's the phone 1st.. i cant just get win7 to take control without osx getting their hands on it..

now being familiar with the iphone. i would just find a stable version open itunes and select what version i want to install.. seeing how i bought my phone rooted and unlocked. and not knowing what ROM i have installed, do i just goto t-mobile's site and get the latest software from there?

Is there an app where I could play music over a phone call? Not, music played through the loudspeakers while I have a call, but rather the music will be sent over the call to be heard by the person (or computer) at the other end of the line...

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngmane:
hahahahaha no man that would cause alot of problems did you think about this idea befor you posted it did you mean like an elevatop music type thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skellyyy:
Like what you get when you're on hold? I doubt there is but that'd be really cool and just another "there's an app for that" moment. :p
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinistah_:
lmfao that'd actually be awesome. you gotta put the phone down for a minute so u play some waiting music. rofl.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaghy2zy:
hahahahaha, yeah, I'd probably do that... LOL "All of ME is busy right now, please stay on the line and the next ME will be with you shortly"

lol, anyways, what I'm trying to do is just some small experiment, where my computer will pickup a call (either through skype or voice modem) then receive commands based on the sound I'm playing over the phone... I thought voice commands would be nice, but I was just thinking of something else to try, and that came into my mind that's why I'm curious if anyone knows of any app that can do it... lol

Can someone tell me why some sites like ESPN (espn.go.com), don't play their flash videos on my Xoom? Flash is installed and is working fine on most sites, but there are some where it does not work at all.

I just don't understand.

-flash newbie
[Xoom General] keitht:
Because it is not complete and beta in my opinion. Report it to Adobe so it gets fixed.
[Xoom General] mrsexkey:
You have to change the user agent to get espn to work with flash. Type in about:debug. Then go to settings, debug, uastring and select desktop. Unfortunately this doesn't stick, so might need to do it again.
[HTC Incredible S] lge73:
I have an European IS (original sw 1.36.405.1) and i flashed with goldcard to Asian ROM (1.38.707.1). When i tried to reflash EU ROM i get: "Main version older" -this is normal because i flashed a ROM with higher version.

Until we can root the phone there is any possibility to downgrade it? (psneuter+appropriate misc.img?)
[HTC Incredible S] tanleiqu:
same question

but i've got [error 140: incorrect bootloader version]
[HTC Incredible S] gigii:
because 1.38.707.1 bootloader is the highest version until now. normally HTC allowed that flash ROM always from low version to higher. so you must waiting for ROOT now. first you'll have to flash BOOTLOADER and RECOVERY, and then you can flash any version ROM.
[HTC Incredible S] bl4ckluna:
why not use the goldcard?
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Goldcard probably won't work, have to be combined with the misc version change. The misc partition is writeable so downgrading should work. Next few days I'm off so won't make instructions how to do it.

You can try to use the old firmware version number combined with the goldcard. About the same procedure as the DHD or G2 I think.

The name of the zip file should be PB98IMG.zip and has to be on the root of your goldcard.

* not exactly sure about the zip name. Can be found out when booting into bootloader. You get a short flash which file names its looking for.

Ps I'm not responsible for bricks
[HTC Incredible S] tanleiqu:
the name of zip is PG32DIAG.ZIP
[HTC Incredible S] lge73:
Tried to flash via SD card (PG32IMG.zip), don t working;).. Main version older!:rolleyes:

My question is: if i download misc.img from DHD (or ThunderBolt) and edit with HEX editor (CID number - HTC__32 and sw number for ex:1.35.405.1)and follow the first part of ThunderBolt rooting procedure, i will able to reflash 1.36.405.1 ROM?

Unfortunately I am not familiar with the Android OS, so need some help!
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
That will probably won't work.

You should take the misc.img from your current rom. But there is also a misc_version script around,you can try that one, I think its in the superoneclick program. Too lazy to search on my phone.

Gl. Again: I'm not responsible for bricks :p
[HTC Incredible S] lge73:
BINGO! Tx timbo007up! With misc_version script i managed to rewrite version number!:p
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
So the downgrade was succesfull? Ok than, safe way of downgrading can be ticket off than.
[HTC Incredible S] lge73:
Yes it s all right, the downgrade was succesful! :D
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Ok Tnx for testing! Can be of great use later on! I'll notify the rooting team that downgrade is possible.
[HTC Incredible S] AndroidWolf7:
Lge73 i wrote you a pm...

can you help me ?
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
You should release ur modded version mate
[HTC Incredible S] tanleiqu:
also success.

just follow the guide of dhd downgrade(easy to find in dhd forum)

both of RUU and ZIP are ok
[HTC Incredible S] lge73:
Yes! You can follow the downgrade procedure:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003

adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp

adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version

adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter

adb shell

If you got "#" in the result, you have temproot! Proceed:

cd /data/local/tmp/

./misc_version -s 1.35.405.1

Ps I'm not responsible for bricks
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Made a guide for it, topic can be closed i suppose.

If u have any further questions do it in de guide topic!
[HTC Incredible S] zhaominghao:
goldcard can only update
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
zhao, a goldcard is a sdcard that has elevated rights on branded phones, thats the difference so it can also be used for downgrades. its just that the misc_version change is required
[HTC Incredible S] ruffruff:
can i use these steps to downgrade from gingerbread to froyo?
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Nope, since the radio will not downgrade its currently imposssible. Lower radio version is required for froyo to work.

Otherwise it will end in a bootloop. I know, I tried :p
[HTC Incredible S] ruffruff:
oh well, that sucks... initially still though of upgrading to UK Gingerbread.

guess, have to hold that till root or asia gingerbread is out.

i have the (free) rooted version. does the paid one let me reinstall it and uninstall it the right way? whats the benefit of the paid version?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] orionshock:
Paid version gives you the option of freezing apps. So you freeze an app, reboot & then uninstall. That way it uninstalls correctly. Plus batch operations.

Also, you cannot backup /system .apk files. You have to do those manually from adb pull

you neet to install the drivers. the way i did it is when you connect your phone it askes you to install the "HTC Sync" i think, go ahead and download the file and run it, it will install the drivers and will ask you if you want to install htc sync i just canceled the sync instalation and DDMS is running perfectly.

SD card only 6 Megs?

hi,

Just moved on up from a Droid Eris and I can't wait to start rooting and flashing stuff. Having trouble getting started, though.

Anyone have any idea why the 32 Gb card Verizon included is registering as 6 Mb? And how I access the other 31.5 Gbs?

Alternatively, I can burn a new image on the card, but I'm not sure what the files on it are. Any reason to keep them if I'm not using Verizon's HotSync?
[Thunderbolt General] SuperFly03:
You are looking at the partition which contains a link to the HTC Sync software not the actual memory card.

On my corporate laptop the drive letter that the phone tried to use was in use so I had to reassign it to see the phone and then everything showed up perfectly.

Check Disk Management under admin tools and see if the computer sees the drive at all.
[General Questions and Answers] Der Erlkoenig:
Hey, I am extremely tech un-savvy. I have tried to create a custom font for my Galaxy S (T-Mobile: Vibrant) phone. I got as far as editing the font in Font Creator (to get the signed version, or whatever.)

From there I have been unable to make it into a flip font - despite trying to follow all related instructions. My phone is not rooted, I will not root it. For my purposes, the risk of bricking does not match the potential benefits gained.

So, my real question comes in as: Does anyone know if someone has made a Fraktur flip font, or if anyone could possibly make one for me.

Thanks for any help, assistance, or answers offered. Sorry if this is an innappropriate question/set of questions for this forum, or whatever.

Thanks again!

(I'd post the wikipedia page about Fraktur... but I can't until 8 posts. Sorry. The good news is that if you are unfamiliar with Fraktur... this is the interwebz, so it's easily researched - Sorry!)

Fraktur flipfont

Hi Erlkönig

Well, do understand your problem, see the part I quoted. For a long time already I have been searching for a way to include f.ex. the Leipzig Fraktur in an ePub so I can use it on my eBook-reader. Now the use of flipfonts for my mobile is added for my search.

Maybe with joint effort we at last can get it working?

So installing the Linux Rhobuntu on the tilt 2 Id be able to torrent then?

If so sounds good to me! Ill mark this as solved once that is verified.

Only considering this as my Laptop is no longer usable and im kind of looking to see what I truly need on for, I can use my G/Fs or the ubuntu for any word processing, I rarely if ever need the computer for other items that I cant do from my work computer.
