[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gromsy:
The USB charger just doesn't ever charge! It doesn't matter whether I connect using the wall plug or through my computer - the little charging symbol comes up (in Android in the battery notification area) but that only lasts for few seconds, then SpareParts App says the battery is discharging... SpareParts App also says that both batteries I'm using are "overheated" and the temperature is "-11degrees celsius" and never changes from that.

Since I bought the phone just under a year ago I've actually been using 2 (stock HTC) batteries with a separate battery charger, and that's why I'm still able to use the phone - once one battery discharges, I just recharge it using the separate battery charger, then swap in the other one. Haven't had any problems until now...

This only started happening just before I went from using MDJ's Cyanogen Mod to Pongster's Hyperdroid. I can't remember for sure but it seemed to start happening after I upgraded from MAGLDR 1.12 to 1.13.

Pongster's Hyperdroid GBX v8 Clockwork Mod

Radio: 2.15

SPL: HSPL 2.08

MAGLDR 1.13

SpareParts says:

Battery health: Overheat

Battery voltage: 4221 mV

Battery temperature: -110V

Really hope someone can help!

Cheers.

did u tried to flash WM stock ROM back ?

If not try it and see if the phone charge under WM stock. If yes u saved but if no than u have a hardware problem
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gromsy:
Thanks for the quick reply.

But if I flash back to WMROM, won't that just fix charging for WM? I don't want to go back to that useless OS at all, so I need a fix that allows me to charge under Android...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rikardo1979:
well, i don't mean u have to stay on WM. Flash it back just to see if is all ok under original WM and if yest than u can flash Android back cos it would mean your phone (hardware) is ok and u have problem only with your Android ROM.

I can only use my old datacable for flashing nothing else anymore

I have the same symptoms. I'm testing with UltimateDroid 3.3 in combination with CWM 3.0.2.4. I thought it might have to do with the bootloader cLK that I recently installen. But now I have tested it also with Magldr and the problem remains.

I checked with charging through the PC, with the wall plug and USB cable and with another charger with micro USB.

Any suggestions?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edbogue:
My son squashed my phone and broke the screen. Phone is T-mobile G2 running CM7 RC 2. Can I run a nandroid backup via adb? Can I run programs like sms backup and restore and call log backup and restore via adb? Mercifully I have insurance so replacing should not be too bad, but I really want to back up my stuff on there. Any help would be appreciated!

Solved - Control phone with broken screen

Well! I was totally outraged that nobody replied to my plight, in spite of that outrage I shall helpfully spread my new found knowledge!

I found the answer in androidscreencast. I can't post links, so you will have to google it.

It lets you control your phone with mouse and keyboard. You have to have adb working before it will work. I opened a command prompt, typed "adb devices", let it find mine, then ran the androidscreencast JNLP file that I had downloaded from above, so easy after that. Interface is usable, right clicking changes screen orientation. To perform the backup I did it using the command prompt: "adb reboot recovery" then used the phone controls to manipulate the clockworkmod recovery screens.

I hope this will help someone else.....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr3tles5:
Thanks! My screen stopped working from a hardware fault and this was invaluable in backing up my stuff before replacing my phone!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralphwiggum1:
thanks a lot. my screen died and i googled and search for many answers. i wasn't even able to adb and do a nandroid. this at least lets me see clockwork recovery.

i am trying to return to stock to send in for warranty. while I still have clockwork recovery with adb on, should I use it to my advantage in flashing something else first, or am I just doing the PC10IMG .. if anyone knows. thanks.

EDIT: for clarification. I'm following instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Unrooting_and_Returning_to_Stock

It asks to do the PC10IMG. doing so will return to stock bootloader, radio, and OS, but will leave CID and S-off. it needs ADB to get those restored, but I can't turn ADB on with a borked screen. Would I be able to do those first, while my ADB works, then do the PC10IMG?

Thanks.

Okay. So I have cm7 nightly 25 totaly stock. So I connected the wiimote by turnings on blue tooth, pressed one and two on the controlled, pressed number 1 on the phone. The controller connected fine. Then I pressed step 2 and chose wiimote. Then I went to gbaoid and(my game, super Mario mart starred automatically) pressed setting and mapped all the keys that had something other <none> by pressing whatever button I chose on the wiimote. Then I pressed back a couple times to get back to the game

IT DIDNT WORK. What am I doing wrong..?

I have used doubletwist to sync music in itunes. Unfortunately, doubletwist could not let me sync podcasts in itunes, although it has a feature to subscribe podcast, but I really don't want to subscribe all my podcast in doubletwist again.

The only thing I can figure out is that, maybe I can use some software to sync the podcast folder, but doubletwsit seems doesn't have the feature to sync specific folder.

So, Do you guys have any suggestion? Thanks!:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaveLiu:
No one knows?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] noriyori:
I've been searching for the past few days on this to find no real elegant solution. The closest I've found is drivecast. I've been managing the podcast subscriptions and those are synced to my android. But there is no resume feature when playing from the web interface and resuming on the android.

Supposedly doubletwist does this for PC but I'm on mac and they haven't added podcast subscription support for mac yet...

I'll post back if I find anything better.
[Nexus S General] deltoro84:
After power is only a white Google logo in the center of the black screen and then stays.

Can someone help me?

Thanks
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
I need more information.

Rooted? Rom? Kernel?

What did you do.
[Nexus S General] deltoro84:
Did root. Wanted to put back the original rom will only start after the Google logo
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
And how did you attempt to put the google rom back on?

Did you have a custom recovery?
[Nexus S General] deltoro84:
I installed the rom on recovery. Unfortunately, the wrong dan grh78 I wanted to make an update on grh41. My Nexus was formerly a rom grh78c
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
You didnt answer my question. Do you have clockwork recovery or the stock one? If its clockwork then its easy to fix.
[Nexus S General] deltoro84:
Yes i have a clockwork and it isnt working. The problem is that i cannot start my mobile and i just see a google Logo. Unfortunatly i took the wrong rom grh78 instead grh78C. With rom grh78 the startingt phase worked but at the update on grh41 there came a failure message ,,it is not possible to make an update because a wrong rom is installed. I should have taken grh78C,,.

After the failure message I wanted to booten my mobile and after this message there just appears this google Logo.

Thanks for help
[Nexus S General] simms22:
go into recovery, enable the usb storage option, put the right rom on your "sd" storage, turn off the usb storage option, wipe data(factory reset), flash the right rom, then reboot.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Okay heres what you do. Is your phone currently off? If it isn't then, pull the battery out. Put the battery back in.

Hold Volume Up + Power.. KEEP HOLDING THESE TWO and you should be in bootloader. Volume down to Recovery. Does it work? Yeah? Clockwork Recovery?

Okay. Now you have two choices:

1) Stock: download: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=968403

Mount the phone via USB in Clockwork Recovery. Download that file and put it in /clockworkmod/backup/ (make sure you put it correct.. otherwise Clockwork wont see the file). Unmount, Check nandroid backup/restore is it there? If it isn't, recheck if you put it correctly. If so, reboot into recovery again.

2) Download a custom ROM such as CM7, Axura, GingerS, NSCollab, MIUI, whatever you want.. mount your phone via USB and put it on your sd card.

Wipe dalvik,cache,factory and flash that ROM (if you flash CM7.. you'll have to flash Gapps right after; MIUI.. flash English Language Pack right after).

Reboot. And it should go past the Google screen.

Alternatively, you should be able to plug your phone in the computer and using ADB by typing "adb reboot recovery" should get you into the recovery as well.

Edit: or do what simms suggested. Either way, you have to go into Clockwork Recovery to fix this.
[Nexus S General] deltoro84:
it isnt working. i just come into a fastboot modus. how should i put the rom into a sd???? The mobile is recognized by the usb.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
yes you're supposed to be on a screen that looks like http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qW-hye-fsWM/TWJgxyBheCI/AAAAAAAAAEE/dIO-8DPEs1M/s1600/s1.jpg

if you volume down to the third one, it says Recovery.. that should get you into Clockwork Recovery (Orangeish) http://www.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Clockwork-Recovery-3.jpg

if it looks like http://cdn.androidcommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/device2-540x324.jpg (yeah aside from Dell) then you dont have clockwork recovery.

When you get into Clockwork recovery, there is a option in there to mount your USB. If you're able to get into Clockwork, I'd go to either of the steps I linked above.

Stock, CM7, Axura, MIUI, ETC. You need to replace your ROM with one of these.

Since you seem pretty new, I'd just stick with stock because that's what you're most comfortable with.
[Nexus S General] buachaille:
Zephik is trying really hard to help you here man. You need to read what he has written very carefully, supply more information, and follow the instructions really carefully. Then you can fix your phone without a problem.

Let us know how it goes.
[Nexus S General] deltoro84:
If i go into recovery , i have 4 options.

1. reboot system now

2. apply update from/ sd card

3. wipe data/ factory reset

4. wipe cache partition.

Which obe should i choose? What should i do?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
You don't have Clockwork Recovery then. Do you have the SDK installed? You need to go through the guides to set up SDK if you don't have it installed already.

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895545

- Nexus S Drivers: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878786&highlight=Driver

Pretty much.. you just need to fastboot flash http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img

You need USB drivers for the Nexus S for the device to be recognized on your system.

Once you get Clockwork Recovery up and running (that orangeish recovery that I linked above) you should be able to refer back to my previous post. Once you complete that, your phone should be up and running.

[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Or that.. but Odin isn't very popular with the Nexus S.

Option is there if you want to go that route. I used to use Odin for the Vibrant but I'm not too familiar with it for the Nexus S as its not as popular. If the OP decides to go with Odin then I can't assist you.
[Nexus S General] buachaille:
I really want to see how this pans out. He cannot be any more of a noob than I was very recently and I got the hang of it (zephik helped me too) so he should be able to fix it.

It's amazing the help you can get for free on this forum. If zephik was running a mobile phone shop be would be making money with the information he's providing ( although it would be much easier for him to take the phone away from the OP for 15 minutes and flash it himself ;-) ).
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
haha thats a interesting idea, have XDA set up shops around the country for flashaholics. but in a case scenario that seems wrong because you're getting money off works by developers. Guess it wouldn't be too bad if a % of it went towards developers.

sometimes I don't get people like [hfm] and these others users of XDA who try to flame other people on a internet forum or don't post anything constructive other than "wrong section" and try so hard to be a moderator. I just don't see whats the motivation of doing it, I'm not doing anything in particular to piss anybody off but yet they talk to me as if they have a strong hatred against me.
[Nexus S General] buachaille:
Absolutely agreed. I've posted polite questions on loads of forums and so many times have had the 2 word reply, "Wrong section". And this kind of reply always seem to come from people who can't (or maybe just can't be bothered to) answer the question.

[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Did you 'fastboot oem unlock' ?

The downloaded recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img needs to be in your /sdk/tools/ folder of where your adb.exe is. rename recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img to recovery.img

type:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

WHILE you're in bootloader mode. Bootloader needs to be unlocked, the "Lock State" should say UNLOCKED.
[Nexus S General] deltoro84:
I already have fastboot oem unlock. Look at the picture file,View attachment 547318 i renamed it and displaced in the ordner adnroid/tools. Look again file dok2,View attachment 547326 cause there are u going to see the failure message.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
thats your problem. the .img needs to be named "recovery.img" you dont rename the file the command. you're telling the computer to flash something that isn't there to begin with because you named the .img the command "fastboot..."

rename the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to just recovery.img

open command prompt

cd C:\android\tools

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

WHILE you are in bootloader, and this will work.

Sorry for the late response, and thanks for the screenshot it helped clarified things!
[Nexus S General] deltoro84:
ok we have renamed thef file correctly into recvoery.img

so see dok 1View attachment 547349

at the CMD, there is still the same problem, eventhough i renamed the file.

see dok 2 View attachment 547350

thank you
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Is your phone in fastboot mode? It will only work in that mode. And your SDK is missing some prominent files. E.G. its missing adb.exe

Did you download the SDK from the thread I linked before? It has to be the 2.3.X SDK + Nexus S drivers (PDAnet)
[Nexus S General] deltoro84:
ok, thanks a lot. i am downloading right now the new sdk. do i have to install everything from the beginning or should i copy the adb.exe ??

thanks
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
nope just extract the new SDK and put the recovery.img in the /tools/ folder of the new SDK. just point command prompt towards the new SDK folder

http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r08-windows.zip is the SDK you want.

theres a r10 now.. haven't tried it, been using r08 since im too lazy to update the SDK. you can try r10, but r08 works fine. r10 might be for honeycomb, not sure

the main important thing is that you need your phone plugged into the computer with it in fastboot mode.
[Nexus S General] buachaille:
I can't wait to see you get your phone fixed. I had problems when I was at this stage but I got there. Keep trying. Once you get clockwork mod on to your phone it all gets a LOT easier.
[Nexus S General] deltoro84:
Thanks for your help, but the problem is still there.

With input from cmd "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" is still the message "error: cannot load recovery.img` `.
[Nexus S General] buachaille:
Do you have a camera? If you could take shots of your phone and computer screen as you work through the steps and upload them as jpgs it would really help. If I could see what you were doing even I could help.

Are you sure that the phone is definitely in fastboot before you try to flash the recovery.img?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Are you in fastboot mode? http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qW-hye-fsWM/TWJgxyBheCI/AAAAAAAAAEE/dIO-8DPEs1M/s1600/s1.jpg is a link of what it looks like.

Your phone has to be plugged in the computer BEFORE you go to that screen. When you plug it, does it make that USB noise?

Again, the LOCK STATE has to be UNLOCKED.. otherwise this won't work as well.

Should be the output after "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

You have to use the new SDK if you didn't.

Type "fastboot devices" what is the output?
[Nexus S General] deltoro84:
This is the SDK folderView attachment 547414. This is the cmdView attachment 547415

This is the picture of the mobileView attachment 547417

Thanks
[Nexus S General] buachaille:
That is extremely helpful. Zephik is the expert here, but as far as I can see that should be working.

You've got fastboot in there and the recovery.img. Is you're phone definitely recognized by the computer. Like in an earlier step did you get the phones serial number displayed in the command prompt when you typed adb devices??

Does the phone show up in device manager??
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
lol no. i'm not a expert at all. did you install the drivers i linked as well?

"fastboot devices" should appear your phone on command prompt if its done properly
[Nexus S General] deltoro84:
This is the outputView attachment 547428
[Nexus S General] buachaille:
That's showing your serial number so the phone is recognized. Now I am stumped??
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Alright well I just noticed something. The clockwork image I linked earlier is a broken link, so I'm not sure where you did get your recovery.img from.

I couldn't find a version of 3.0.0.5 but heres a newer version but unofficial Clockwork Recovery but it should work.

Try downloading http://www.mediafire.com/?6diuhc6bp86x9oq

Rename it to recovery.img and replace the recovery.img in your /sdk/tools/ folder.

If you have a MD5 hash tool. VERIFY the .img is indeed identical to

bda74f9d1c4a227e1820d0df050d7f1b

Your SDK environment is fine. No need to be done on there.

Try the stuff I linked above. HOPEFULLY this will fix it. I really don't know where you got that recovery image from though.

EDIT: 3.0.0.5 Links here

http://mirror.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img

Either one should be fine. 3.0.0.5 is the official one though.
[Nexus S General] buachaille:
Here's the proper clockwork 3.0.0.5

[Nexus S General] zephiK:
i responded. do those, hopefully it'll work. im becoming tired after a five thing hour trying to fix it :P

i really dont see what the problem is though.
[Nexus S General] buachaille:
Do what zephik said. Download clockwork recovery 3.0.0.5 again. Here it is here - http://mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries...0.5-crespo.img

Transfer it onto your phone using steps outlined above by zephik. The one you have might be broken which is why you should get this new one.

Then go ahead and do the flash again with the new copy of clockwork and see if it works this time.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
and if it doesn't.. try the 3.0.1.9 one i linked [its unofficial] but it doesnt hurt.
[Nexus S General] deltoro84:
The problem is still there, View attachment 547465even with the recovery.

Do not know what to do yet?

Preferably to the water-throwing.

[Nexus S General] zephiK:
So I just randomly went into fastboot and typed a random command without my phone plugged in and got your error.

On Windows Explorer, press Organize -> Folder Options -> View -> Hide extensions for known file types.. is this checked or unchecked? If its checked, uncheck it.

Go back to recovery.img and its probably recovery.img.img

EDIT: YESSSSS i was right. i just looked at your doc1 and your extensions are missing. It's probably recovery.img.img or recovery.img.X (X being another extension)

Proof:

The case of the mysterious recovery.img is now solved.

But yeah.. I have a long day tomorrow at class. So pretty much once you're done flashing this via fastboot.

Download the nandroid backup (or a custom ROM). Whatever route you want to go... too lazy to retype
