[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] segfault82:
so i dropped my phone and the screen is completely dead. the phone itself works fine because i see trackball notifications and logging using adb logcat. i can also browse the filesystem through adb shell. i plan on sending it back to HTC for repair, but before i do that i wanted to create a nandroid backup. im running CM7 RC2 and clockworkmod 3.x. i boot the phone into recovery, and confirm it's in recovery because adb devices shows me:

List of devices attached
HTXXXXX	recovery

then i try running: "adb shell nandroid backup", but that gives me:

E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]
Can't mount /sdcard

even though /sdcard is mounted. i tried unmounting /sdcard and then running it again but i got the same error.

I was able to get the wiimote to work using a rooted cm7 rom and a offical wii remote. The only downfall was I has to disconnect my wifi to get the remote to stay connected. I am using the wiimotecontroller version 0.25 . I have tried the beta version also with no sucess. Would love to get this working with wifi connected. Please help

[G2 and Desire Z General] enp82003:
Right now I have an unlocked G2 and using AT&T on a data-less plan.

I have no Charge for having a droid which I love.

I believe this is due to AT&T not knowing its a droid because of the IMEI Number is a Tmobile Number? but not sure.

I just use the phone to make calls, send text messages and use Wifi for emailing, surfing the the web etc.

Once the switch takes place will i start being charged for using a data phone?! :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] Wabster6:
switch isnt happening for a little more then a year from now if it in fact does happen ... regardless by then you'll prob have a new phone and everything on the AT&T side of the spectrum should remain the same ... also Tmob said they would still be operating independently and would not be dicking old customers out on their plans ... lets see what happens =/
[G2 and Desire Z General] enp82003:
Sad sad day but your right will prob have a dual core phone by then....

I feel good being able to use the phone i paid for without the services i don't want and will not use.

I how hate you are forced in to a data plan you don't want/need just because you want a device that runs fast and has wifi...

:( i was actually planing on leaving A&TT and switch to t-mobile soon once my family plan runs out. And get data on my phone through them...
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Nothings gonna happen for at least another 6 months at the quickest, and more probably 12 months if it gets approved at all.

Just wait and see, don't make any decisions now about it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BAleR:
I just wish i herd about this the day before i bought my G2, not the day after...

As long as i can use this phone and the great service that i singed a contract for and for the length i agreed to... ill be happy

I really want to flash a 2.2 Sense rom but for some reason i always get a boot.img error. im using cwm 2.5.0.7 and it usually goes fine until about line 100 something then i get the error. I have tried re downloading, using ra, wiping and formating everything, wipe dalvik, etc and they still dont flash. Anybody know why?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oohaylima:
Do you have an ext partition on your SDcard?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubnub82:
No. Could that be the reason why?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aqualls:
If it's the same file could be a bad download. Just need to wipe data, cache, and dalvik. Then flash. Unless you're using firerat. Works fine for me that way.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -seagull-:
Hi, I use OpenVPN Settings to register my DHD on my asterisk PBX.

I need an app that does the following when connected to wifi:

- run OpenVPN Settings

- select an OpenVPN profile

- enter my login and pass

- run Sipdroid

Ideally the app should not do this when connected to my home wifi, and should shut down Sipdroid and OpenVPN Settings when no longer connected to wifi. :D

Can this be done by tasker?

I have edited my hosts, registery, reinstalled the certificate and have the phone development tools. Zune is open, none guest relationship, and my device is connected and not locked. Anybody else having this problem?
[Nook Color General] ax135:
Hi everyone:

I have been running 6.8 from my Sandisk 2GB unrated card. Although unrated, the card runs relatively fast with the Nook as measured to my Samsung Captivate or Apple iTouch (2nd Gen).

First Card: I backed up the image from my 2GB to a 8GB A-Data Class 6 card. Now this is where the problem starts. The Nookie boots up but down is acting slow and sluggish. To the point it is unuseable with lot's of FCs. I tried buring a brand new image and it is the same. I also tried the card as a data drive max'ing it out to 8GB and also using it to record video in my digicam, no problems.

Second Card: I then bought a Patriot 8GB class 10 card and copied the image onto it. Even worse. It won't even boot or get stuck in the boot process on the "Customted Froyo" screen. Try other images, and the same things occur. The card also works fine as a data card.

Third Card: Third time's the charm. I got this card from Costco. 8GB, class 4. Copied the image from the 2GB to the Sandisk 8GB, expanded the partition like the others. Worked like a charm and runs even smoother.

My question here is:

1) Is the Nook picky about micro SD cards? Seems like the faster cards are having compatibility issues.

2) For people complaining about performance issues running off of the micro SD card. Could it be caused by compatibilty issues I've experienced?

FYI, I've been running "Customized Nookie Froyo" from my micro SD card for about two weeks now with no problems. This will be my daily driver. I get the best of both worlds, Froyo and the B&N image.

Something to think about
[Nook Color General] ADude:
Evidently the NC is picky about cards IF you are going to run from them - which is somewhat more intensive than is intended for an ereader additional storage device.

There are existing threads on the subject, just search TITLES for "card" in this Forum only.

Summary - The Transcend 8gb Class 6 seems to be the favorite. Some Class 10 cards don't work correctly in Nook. A-Data makes great Desktop RAM and crap SD cards. Sandisk is a safe choice when on sale, their Class rating is conservative.
[Nook Color General] cheezer38:
Patriot 8GB class 10

I have the same card and works great. Strange. I don't know why you are having so much problem.

Did you try a new IMg? .3?
[Nook Color General] ax135:
i tried the following

I tried .3, 6.8, 6.7, and HC all with boot or performance problems. I have two Sandisk8gb cards now and able to run all images with no problem. Typing in HC right now.
[Nook Color General] cheezer38:
Bad batch? I tried hc .1 .2 .3 no problem. I guess I am lucky.
[Nook Color General] will2live:
I have class 4,6, & 10 cards in 8Gb, 16Gb, and even 32 Gb. Mix and match of brands from SanDisk, A-data, Wintec..etc. Only issue I've run into is using any of my 32Gb cards, they just plain do not work right. Whether I use them for just storage or even a ROM running from them they are nothing but trouble. One thing I have noticed tho is DO NOT format the card using Windows before burning an image. You are better off using a3rd party app to format the card, it seems to work much better. Or format them with Linux if you have access to it.

BTW as for the 32Gb cards they don't work well with much of anything. And from reports I've seen on the web it seems to be a known issue where all the mfgs say they can use 32Gb cards but they do not have the software bugs worked out seeing as most people don't own or use them seeing as they are a bit pricey still. At least for a decent one they are
[Nook Color General] jeffw111:
Hey quick question will2live what is the class rating and size on the Wintec card you're using?

I have a kingmax class 10 16 gb card....HC and nookie froyo refuse to boot......well nookie does, but in the next boot, hangs up...

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
Hello, guys

I've successfully bricked my desire hd about 20 minutes ago by following:

via adb on pc:

adb push boot.img /data/local

via terminal on phone:

su

dd if=/data/local/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Now, I'm going to tell you why i did it - of course, it wasn't intentional..

I wanted to use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835449 boot image, but I had opened this: http://www.dkszone.net/install-hboot-htc-desire-hd-engineering tutorial too and the commands i used were from this instead of the first one :(

If you guys can tell me how I can repair my HBOOT bricked device ...you will probably save my life... i'm very sad now and I believe that any xda member will try to help me, that's why I don't panic for now :( :(

once more.. thanks for anything, for any answers
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Nice one, mate.. That is almost the one and only command that can brick a DHD.

If you have not rebooted, use my ENG S-OFF tool. It will repair your hboot. Tick the "I have radio s-off" -box.

You have to send your phone to HTC, they will repair it. It will probably cost something.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike1986.:
hm I think that they wont bother to check what's wrong if it's already impossible now to turn on the device. They will replace mobo and that's all I think :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
And in English, Mike means that the device will be under warranty. Then the repair process would be free :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
ehheh, yes i have warranty, but how can i fix it now with your ENG S-OFF tool ?

ahh.. you say if i not rebooted i see... i understand.. omg i am stupid :D

but when i can brick the phone, how can i unbrick it.. can i open dhd and do it manually or how ?

btw i need the phone to the tomorrows test lol :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
You cannot repair it easily yourself, brick is a brick, beyond repair. Only HTC can revive your phone now.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damnoregonian:
i'm assuming if you got to the point of flashing an engineering hboot, that you ran gfree and your phone is radio s-off

this being the case, it is actually fixable.

the trick is i don't know exactly how to do it yet. better off just warrantying it.

but if you boot it up with volume-up i believe, it should vibrate 3 times, give you a black screen and enumerate as a qualcomm device to your computer.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrYuiM:
Sorry this is of no help, but why use that really outdated Kendon thing, when most kernels now support what it does?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
because i was too curious what it can do :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
can you tell me how htc repair this without opening the phone ? i think as mike said.. they will just give me new or am i wrong ?

and when they give me new, will i have to buy xtc clip to downgrade to 1.32, i mean to make it s-off, or is goldcard enough ? please don't smile to this.. because i'm flashing fan xD
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
I read somewhere, that there are two types of BOOT, but maybe i'm wrong..

there should be initial boot loader and secondary boot loader or something, i hope the initial is unflashable so I have successfully flashed only the secondary one, I hope there must be way to fix it.. even htc wouldn't disassemble it ..i hope :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
KK, thanks last question to you is what I should tell them when I will go tomorrow to the HTC.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
If you feel like it, you can say that the device just stopped working, and you do not know what could possibly be wrong with it. "It just does not turn on anymore".

Then the other option is to tell the truth, that you messed up and now it does not work. Then it will cost you to get it repaired.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
I still think that they can't repair it without disassembling, do you ?

So if I tell them truth I will have to pay like almost for new phone, because they will have to replace NAND chip. I think I will say, that I changed the SIM card and my device just stopped working and I will try to pretend like a n00bzor (as I am) xD

I really don't know how I could did it, I thought it's related with it.. the dev folder under system, but when I went there over ROOT explorer or QtADB it has 0kBs..

So once more.. thank you very much guys, and jkoljo I already used the tool.. I already use your tool, it's good, but.. mmh I am stupid :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
Hi, guys

by the way I forgot to ask you why it got brick :D

is and difference between this:

su

dd if=/data/local/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

and this:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

commands ?

is boot different from HBOOT ?

I found on this forum android flasher 1.5.5 and there is option to flash HBOOT ?

what is initial boot loader - is it boot or HBOOT, please tell me, cuz I'm little confused :/ thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrYuiM:
I think boot.img us the kernel as far as I am aware
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
okay, thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Yep, you replaced your device's bootloader with kernel, which obviously results in a mess.

It is like replacing your PC's bios with scrap data.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
So, is this officially the first truly bricked DHD on XDA?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Yep, that is right.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
Thanks for this guys xD. I am too curious which unexpectedly results in what it did.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacob1369:
Someone with enough knowledge and experience and has something like this (video demo used on an HD2) could possibly revive your phone if HTC refuses or charges too much.

We have a lot of amateur electricians/phone repair guys in our country that uses something like it to revive all kinds of bricked dumbphones, smartphones (mostly nokias) to iPhones (out of warranty/jailbroken) AFAIK... Haven't seen it done on an HTC unit though.

Sorry to hear about your DHD buddy!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
yep, yep.. I know about that, I even tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=889128 method, but with no success.. if HTC, which I gave the phone 2 hours ago refuses, I will buy the riff jtag and try to fix the phone, the plus is that I am going to the secondary school of technical engineering and I know friend from 4.th grade, so he will help me with it I hope.. but now about HTC service.. I hope, that if they check the voltage and incoming current, they just say, yes.. it's rooted or they just change the mainboard and I will lost all data with root, so they won't say nothing and I will have the phone back -- that's better for now :D:D

my god, I think that now I look like the stupidest noob user on the forum xDD

blue eye is down for now :D

and what more, I am sorry for a little grammar mistakes :D

for example in the following sentence: " so they won't say nothing " won't say anything..

heh sorry.. but please don't make bad image of me please, I hope I'm not as stupid as it sounds :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacob1369:
I'm sure peeps will be more careful with what they do on their phones (regardless of experience IMO) as a result of this. So you're doing some form of public service or a public warning of sorts.

Imagine, if and when you end up reviving it yourself, that'll make you the official bricked-DHD shaman :-D

Keep your head up dude!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
I don't know if I'm shaman, but I will have to fix my phone asap, btw the o2 operator told me, that it usually takes one week to fix htc phone by one company, which name i forgot :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacob1369:
A week doesn't sound that bad if the price is right... otherwise, you'd really have to DIY. All best!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
THANKS :D, but I have it still under the warranty ^^, so I hope when they won't decompile the pcb's data, they won't know what software I have installed there. I believe there are not so GURUs :D

i just meant by this that they should give me back the money or replace the mb by the new one :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacob1369:
I won't be surprised if HTC or Google devs are active members here... or even be some of the famous devs living a double-dev life waiting for a banana phone to be delivered via FedEX :-)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
That's good, don't you think ? I can ask some devs here to repair my phone, as here on forums people do certain things for free, they could do it for one sad little man in real life 2 :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacob1369:
That's a good option since the community here is very healthy... better if you find a good samaritan close by otherwise, spending for shipping and a little donation doesn't sound that bad :-)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
If anybody here finds the way how-to fix hboot bricked dhd, then I can donate only up to €50 :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
hi guys, so i've got repaired dhd and rooted successfully again and now i'll be more careful of what i do :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robi-K:
BTW I own a riff jtag box and DHD is not supported at the moment. As far as I know no third party tool does. Maybe at some point but not now. Glad to hear you got your phone repaired.

Ps. To revive a brick you don't change it's Nand chip you simply solder wires to the pcb and have direct acces to the phones cpu and nand (as far as I can tell) and then simply rewrite the bootloader. After that your good to go. Repaired a couple of phones this way myself.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuel2706:
Close call that one ey mate ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
Ye, I knew about it. I think it could be easily done by editing the hboot's code in assembler.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacob1369:
Was it done by HTC or by yourself?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kubbur87:
the phone, as of every single other ce marked cellphone in the world has connectors to hook it up to a computer, and im not talking about the micro usb connector

well, what htc does is taking the phone, connecting those, and turning the phone on in hboot debug mode, from there they can see that the hboot bootloader is corrupted, so they flash it again, problem fixed, they dont think about what did this as there are faulty nand flashes that can do this
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
Yep, but HTC replaced MB.

I know some info about NAND chips mygot, when i'm going to the secondary school of electrotechnical engineering.. it was just one and only fault with that brick xD
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacob1369:
That's awfully cool of HTC, how about the cost?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Yeah, the standard fix is to replace motherboard when a device does not want to work for some reason.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
It cost me nothing :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
Hmm, is there any chance to fix the hboot over Download Mode ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
There is a diagnostics mode built in the phone, and it works even without hboot. The problem is that nobody really knows how it works, so at the moment it is not possible to fix hboot in that mode.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeyeblue:
I think soon it will be discovered.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Esteban Sannin:
Here's a new Official Release!! FOR HUAWEI IDEOS U8150-D

DroniX 0.1

Author: Stefano Viola (estebanSannin)

EMAIL: stefanoviola85 [@] gmail [dot] com

Video:

DroniX on Ideos U8150-D

Here's a features summary:

My main aim is to create a light and usefull ROM, without pointless apps

and animations. DroniX Basic is an effort for optimizations on kernenl

and Android side.

Useless carrier default apps have been removed to clean down the ROM.

You can get those apps back using Market, if you <really> need them'

On the Linux side, I improved the shell. If you connect to the Ideos

using "adb shell" and run "sh", you'll get an actual Linux terminal:

TAB for autocomplete

coloured "ls" output

command line shows current path position

I crosscompiled

nmap

ncat

dropbear

mini_httpd

"nmap" and "ncat" are network tools and you can use them with adb too.

"dropbear" is a SSH Server. Using dropbear you can connect to your Ideos

shell with "cables" or adb shell.

On Linux, just open a terminal and digit:

ssh root@ip_ideos

As password, use:

android

On Windows, use Putty as SSH client and credentials above. You don't

need any driver!

"mini_httpd" is a Web Server. You heard it! Web Server. You can host

your own web site on your mobile phone. With next DroniX releases, you

will have more mini_httpd related features.

What about Look&Feel? New icons: some mine, some from Gingerbread.

Basic version comes without overclock or underclock, but I compiled a

new kernel with some tuning.

Experimental version has a patched kernel with "underclock" feature.

Your Ideos scales down to 61Mhz when display is turned-off, saving battery.

Downloads:

Official Release: DroniX Basic 0.1

Experimental: Dronix Experimental Underclock kernel

Kernel UnderClocked for developers: estebanSannin Kernel UnderClock

To install, you need a recovery UltraJack environment and you need to wipe

everything before flashing!

If you want DroniX wallpaper, do not sync your Google Account during

boot. You can sync later.

Feedback and questions are appreciated :-)

Buy me a coffe :-D[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Pavy415:
can you find a way to overclock it properly meaning actually run faster instead of a mistake frequency reported by setcpu?
