Hi all,

When trying to adb to my legend on windows 7 I kept getting,

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb devices
error: protocol fault (no status)

after searching for 2 days through various posts I still could not get it to work, even though it had worked fine previously.In the end it was a simple fix

Open task manager and search for adb.exe and right click > end process.

Hope this helps someone else :rolleyes:

Ive also attached a batch file that does the job 4 u.
[Legend General] foxfly:
Great, it fixed my same error, thank you so much!

HERE YA GO

Its the GSM version but its Retail Price: $799.99 Our Price:$699.99.
[HTC EVO 3D] redlinux:
Very Important Question

Okay, I'm not sure if you're the reseller. I am VERY interested on this one if there's any truth with this advertising.

May I ask one question:

It's indicated in the website that it's "unlocked". Is this just "Software Unlocked" where the phone's firmware and branding remains the same but is unlocked for you to be able to use any GSM sim card? Like a Sprint EVO 3D "Software Unlocked" for example. You can use any other sim but it carries the Sprint network name and the firmware is noticeably Sprint!

Or is it really "Factory Unlocked" like any other world wide version out there, came straight from HTC with HTC Stock firmware, no logos, no bull**** and stuff?

Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] AyoJake:
i dont think there is a gsm version.
[HTC EVO 3D] redlinux:
Yeah, you keep on saying that. We'll see pretty soon.

i like the launcher better on the GSM version, thats whats up though :)
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
GSM versions are always priced significantly higher than CDMA versions, even ones that aren't subsidized.

By the way, the EVO 3D is no longer on that website :)
[HTC EVO 3D] AyoJake:

[G2 and Desire Z General] cowboyintx:
My question is when and if t mobile will roll out the update to either 2.3 or 3.0..i want the stock update..any help?:d
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nonentity018:
3.0 is not for phones.

2.3 should come in a couple months.

I'm not too sure what you're asking.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TJBunch1228:
Like he said, he wants to know when or if HTC/Tmo will roll out the next update. To which the answer is a fat question mark. There are rumors about Q2 2011 but who knows. Just be thankful you are not using a Samsung device :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] cowboyintx:
I HAVE EARD THAT THEY WILL HAVE 3.0 FOR PHONES..I HAVE THE G2 ..IT CAME WITH 2.2 BUT I WANT ALL I CAN GET FOR IT..:cool:
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gwanatu:
3.0 is being worked on for phones. At this point the phone version of 3.0 is not even finished with development yet, so we're going to need to wait until that's done to get it. It'll come in a few months, only time will tell exactly when.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KCRic:
Wait what? Last I heard (last week) Google said they will not be releasing the source code - except to official major manufacturers (Samsung and HTC I believe). Part of the agreement between them is that those companies are NOT to put it on a phone unless given specific permission by Google. 3.0 is the windows/iOS version of Android. They did it for a reason, so that manufacturers wouldn't rape such a well designed os by putting their own crap on it, different UI's and launchers, and try to put it on an underpowered device.

Think about it. Some fanboy or average Joe sees 3.0 running on a base model Samsung and prior to that was considering getting an Android phone. Now they won't want to and as such, will inform everyone else (family and friends) about how much of a piece of sh!t is was. That multiplies over and over until you have thousands that think the same thing though never having actually messed with Android themselves. Marketing 050, simple and basic concept. If we see 3.0 on a phone - everyone get it because that will be the device of the year and will stay that way for a long time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] creativedevil:
Never probably... HoneyComb is not meant for mobile phones... Google came clean just a few days ago that they are working on a new version which is capable of running on both, mobile and tablet... but not just ready yet... besides, HoneyComb itself is not 100% yet...

May be IceCream will do it...

Wait and watch... Fingers crossed...
[G2 and Desire Z General] tackleberry:
Why would you want a stock update?

sent from the rooty tooty fresh and fruity cm7 nighly powered G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] KCRic:
Yeah that's what I read too. "... the 'I' series will be the next udate to run on mobile phones". Something to that effect is what was said.

Some people prefer stock. That's the good thing about Android - there's a flavor for everyone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tackleberry:
Well stock update = root gone tho right? Not saying stock is, say horrid....but it does mean horrid battery life, bloatware, etc. And when I mean stock I mean carrier stock update.

sent from the rooty tooty fresh and fruity cm7 nighly powered G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] creativedevil:
CM7 Nightly is pretty much stock update in my opinion, unless stock means the ones directly come from manufactures, not from google. Opting for stock is a very personal preference and I prefer stock because I am not so much of a fan of manufacture skins on top of vanilla experience. Still... again, it is a personal opinion.

Root gone, but thanks to the large dev community support for HTC devices out there, it is hardly going to be a pain. As and when new version arrives, there will be a lot of devs working on it right away... Am I right Devs???

True. Samsung update timing is horrible.
[G2 and Desire Z General] GioIsGio:
haha, I honestly don't now, but I've been with T-Mo since my G1, which was around a year and a half ago, then I got the T-Mo G2 and I've always had such a bad time waiting for OTA updates. I'm not so patient. :S But well, it'll most likely be aired soon.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lainvalenajr:
T-Mobile g2 customers don't count on 3.0 if At&t gets T-Mobile... am sure we will get 2.3
[G2 and Desire Z General] cowboyintx:
I want the stock rom..i had an hd2 and was running 2.2 on it but wasnt perfect..i love the g2 as is just want 2.3 on it:d
[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
Why? There are tons of reasons why I personally would want it.... here's a few:

-Fully gingerbread compatible radio to end all these gps/data problems, and probably bring some battery improovements

-NEWER KERNEL! Am I the only one that would love to be on 2.6.37 or at least 2.6.35? I mean .32 is great and all but I want more!

-newer drivers (i.e. the radio update for the nexus allowed better quality video recording

I have hopes that tmobile will be able to get out an update by summer. Don't quote me on that though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ngc604:
I am willing to bet if att gets tmo then that will be it for all previous phones. They will look to the future. I am also willing to bet that stock android phones(nexus series) and almost stock like the g2 will be done for. Most of the carriers favor the majority who want pretty animations and screens. They don't care about people who want fast stable phones that do what they need to do and get right to the point. I cannot recall a phone put out by another carrier in the usa that has a stock or almost stock android phone. Tmo is the only one I think of.

That being said I believe everything pretty much from here on out will have some flavor running on top. Makes me sad. Left verizon because tmo stayed true to android for the most part. I fear those days are over. I'm already thinking of an exit strategy and I've only been a customer of tmo for a month.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
Stop spreading around the misconception that the G2 runs stock android, it does NOT. Just because it looks stock doesn't mean it is. The TMO/ATT merger will not be finalized until mid next year. Before then the G2 will definately receive at least one major OS update. And what about the OG droid? That was the first phone with stock 2.0. And as long as google keeps making android, there will always be a developer phone.

Edit: Woah! Didn't check the dev section til now! A gingerbread sense wwe ruu was just leaked :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] tackleberry:
Not to knock you but a carrier sent stock update means bloatware, poor battery life. Im running cm7 night 31 and gps works just fine. Remember, devs will rip it apart and fix all the crap the carrier release messed up anyways. Until i cant root a device or get rid of carrier shipped roms ill always rom it up and never take a carrier shipped rom. Im sick of wireless carriers putting their garbage on my phone. If i want it, ill download it.

[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
Lol I guess I should have explained myself better, I meant I wanted everything extracted from it to benefit other builds like CM. I preordered my G2 and had it since sep. 29, and I experienced the whole drama about unlocking the eMMC. I absolutely hate the stock rom lol :) and I don't have a car so I never really cared about GPS, I've just seen people complaining. My GPS has worked on every nightly I've tried it on, maybe I'm just lucky lol.
[G2 and Desire Z General] aconnic:
GPS seems to work fine for G2's on CM...it has worked for me on everything 6.1+. Its the desire z users that are having most of the issues.

So which rom would be the best day to day rom?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xboxnightfallx:
CM7 is the best right now I believe, it has everything working.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilaf0106:
The nightly or rc2
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2Noob4U:
Agreed!

I've used quite a few of the different ROM's on here and Cyanogen's CM7 is the best.

Very stable. I'm really not a fan boy either because I eventually switched over to SuperD's ROM for the Mytouch 3G.

I'm currently running Royal Glacier and I've been getting some weird force closes and other stuff that I didn't have with CM7.

Try as many as you like. Do a backup and run with one for a few days to see if you like it. You can always switch back.

Edit: They just posted up CM7 RC3
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brazzle:
CM7 is the most stable gingerbread rom you'll find.
[Thunderbolt General] happimeal:
Just wondering what you guys use. Opinions on best apps for finding/wiping/locking android phones. The htc sense website is kinda flakey ive found.

Thanks.
[Thunderbolt General] klisp:
Hi happimeal,

For wiping I use clockwork.
[Thunderbolt General] tmushy:
I use seek droid

Amazing app and only $0.99

It even hides itself from the program area
[Thunderbolt General] dan0matic:
I'm like Prey a lot. You can install it on your phone as well as your PC to locate, lock or wipe a phone/computer. http://preyproject.com/

Seek Droid works nice for what you are looking for.

THANKS.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
Your phone should already have this ability built in. If it doesn't play WMA files, then you need to get your phone checked out.

From HTC's website:

What file types are supported by the Music Player on my device?

Your device can support the following audio file types: aac, amr, ogg, m4a, mid, mp3, wav, and wma.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wackydavo:
I just tried to play a wma file in the HTC music player and it said it was an unsupported file type. Poweramp played it fine though. Anyone else have this issue?

I am running Myn's RLS 5, it is slightly laggy and bugs out, I use launcher pro and I am very happy with it. If i flash the nonsense file on Myns page, will it speed up my phone noticeably and provide better battery life. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeboys:
Nandroid backup your current setup and try it out! My guess is that it'd significantly improve performance but you never know until you try.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redsoxfan320:
thanks, im gonna do it
[EVO 4G General] mrlou623:
I'm using clockwork revovery v2.5.0.1 and running Myn's 2.2 RLS5. While backing up data portion the process freezes at 72f9da2d. When I search for this file using root explorer, it finds it under:

/data/data/com.enflick.android.ping/cache/

WebviewCache/72f9da2d

Is there anything I can do? I have tried several times and can't get it to work.

I really am a noob! I even posted in the wrong section. Sorry
[EVO 4G General] blakeboys:
I would enable write ability in root explorer and try to delete com.enflick.android.ping. Then if that doesnt let me backup successfully. Id then goto rom manager and flash amon ra recovery and try to nandroid backup.
[EVO 4G General] mrlou623:
Worked like a charm. Thank you very much. Turns out enflick is the company behind PingChat. I guess i was storing data from that since September because the file was extremely large. None the less, problem solved thanks to you!
[EVO 4G General] blakeboys:
Great!!!! Glad I could help ya! I figured it was some garbage file since I run the same ROM as you and I dont have an enflick file, so obviously its not important! Enjoy :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meemat:
Hi guys, I was wondering if you could help me out something a little weird. My phone's LCD is broken but the digitizer works, so I can still sorta use it, but I can't see anything I'm doing. A new incredible is on the way from eBay, so I was hoping to just flash my recoveries from the old phone to the new one and be done with it (is that possible, btw?).

However, since I can't see the screen at all, I was hoping one of you guys would post the exact steps (number of clicks or whatever) to get to the nandroid option and navigation of the menus in the latest clockwork recovery version.

Thanks in advance
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renzo.olivares:
sd card

The nandroids are in the sd card you can just take the sd card out and place it in your new incredible or put your sd card in your pc/laptop and put the nandroid backups there and then move them to your new phones sd card.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meemat:
Thanks for the clarification, but what I guess I meant was that I'd like to do a nandroid backup of the phone right now because I've received texts/calls etc. and still want to see them, so I was hoping you could just post the exact steps to nandroid backup (after getting into HBOOT) so that I can do it "blind."
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
If you're going the route of restoring nandroids from your old phone onto the new one, be sure to destroy your old phone. Do not sell it or give it away, as both phones will share the same android_ID.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meemat:
Yeah, since I can't see the screen, there's no real way for me to wipe it; I'm probably just gonna hang on to it for parts; thanks for the heads up :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeSchmoe007:
This is for CWM 2.5.1.2

I am not responsible if you mess up your phone. Directions may be different for another version of CWM

Once in recovery press Volume Down 5 times - this will put you over "-backup and restore" menu. Press joystick button to enter it.

Now "Backup" is already selected as a current menu item. Press Joystick button again and backup will start. Took about 6 minutes. I don't have a lot of app/data to backup
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeSchmoe007:
Let us know if it worked. Just a thought: if you don't know what version of CWM you have you may still be able to run a remote shell using Android SDK. From there you can try browsing files or smth like that - not sure how to actually find the CWM version this way or if it is even possible.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meemat:
Ok, trying out the steps now, kinda hard to do it blind :P

But I appreciate it, and I'll check the SD card to see if the backup is made, thanks!

Also, about remote shell to browse files, I think I'm a bit too inexperienced with the SDK itself to try, but I may look it up if nandroid doesn't work.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeSchmoe007:
If you get to remote shell I don't know how useful it can be for backup/restore purposes unless CWM has some kind of command line interface to run backup (I wouldn't be surprised if it does).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meemat:
OK, so I tried it a bunch of times, but I suspect that I'm maybe moving the selector before getting to nandroid/backup in the recovery screen, or perhaps it's because I know I'm on at least clockwork recovery 3, and maybe stuff has moved around :/

Also, I looked around for ADB nandroid methods, and it only seems to show ways to restore backups, but not ways to create them :/ Oh well...

EDIT: I later got it to work using the steps mentioned, but I had forgotten that it goes into HBOOT then CWM recovery...editing so people read that it works.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeSchmoe007:
Well maybe someone else can give instructions for later versions?

About adb: if you have some really important information on your phone it may help you get it off the phone, not necessarily to restore on the new phone but at least to view it. In a nutshell you can retrieve any file from your phone but you may need to mount /system and /data folders manually to access files there. From what I understand a lot of Android applications use standard Android storage which is some kind of database (I think some lite version of SQL). Once you get them off your phone you may be able to open them in other application. You just need to figure out what files you need.

Another option is get this phone fixed (screen replaced) but I am sure you thought about this already.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1107963:
ClockworkMod. 3.0.0.8 Instructions

Not responsible if you mess your phone more than it already is...

Once in CMR press Volum - 5 times and you will be in Backup and Restore option

Then press the Optical Joystick

That would take you to backup Option

Finally press the Optical Joystick one more time and that will start the backup...

Hope it helps.. after just check your sd card and see if it was created...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meemat:
Okay you guys, so it actually worked, thanks so much! The trick was that it boots into HBOOT first and not recovery, so I was just missing that. Once I got my replacement, I just did the steps (the same actually, for both versions) and it worked finally.

Again, I really appreciate it you guys!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MSHancock:
Searched and didnt find this info any where. After you work the magic and get SC 2.9.2v and CW the ec10 kernal running what version/number info will you see when you go into "About Phone". I can't think of the exact names now but I'm talking about the ones at the bottom of the page.

kernal? baseband? Cant think of the rest.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHoLyx:
Build Number should be EB01, because of Adrynalyne's ROM.

Kernel Should be 2.6.32.9

Baseband can be different. Might be DL09/EB01. People find DL09 better battery life.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin Gossett:
Baseband refers to the modem/radio, and assuming you have the EB01 radio it will read EB01. The kernel will always show 2.6.32.9 for froyo, regardless of what kernel you flash. The build will also show EB01.

If you want to see what kernel you are using, you can download a terminal emulator from the market, type "su" to give superuser permissions, then type "cat /proc/version". Terminal will spit out some code, including a date. EC10 was compiled on March (EC) 10th (10)

does anyone know how to get pass the boot screen? im worried to turn my phone off :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jRi0T68:

You can always try to get into recovery mode first, and flash sweet honey again, then try restoring your backup.
