Just flashed on Cog 4.4.6 and no issues.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
Flashed this on cog and andromeda and no problems. It's just an empty file, how could it cause any issues. Thanks for this.
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
I know alot of people are worried about this even though many apps (yes many) leak product info and such but isnt this a bit pointless now? after Google released this
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I think the only point in creating this file is to prevent an exploitable device (ie, one not running Gingerbread 2.3.4) from being exploited by DroidDream through a different source (such as side loading). It is unlikely that any future Android viruses/trojans would create a file of the same name in the same location since people now know to look for it.
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Agreed plus it is not that hard to have the app remove the file and replace it with a bad version and no one is the wiser, Security is only good to keep honest people honest. If they want to hack in there is nothing that will stop them 100%. Really think about it.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Side loading, old backups... Things like that. It will for sure only help with the particular bunch of apps that where using that particular file. The day after this fix was found they could have just updated to use a different name rendering this worthless for newer versions of the exploit. It's just a very very basic protection for a specific batch of apps with an exploit. With that said, it's better to have just in case then not at all. Know what I mean?

Edit: but definitely not needed at all on a phone running gingerbread.

Edit edit: just realized nkrick said what I just said before I ever said it.. much better then I said it.

Edit edit edit... Lol... Oddly enough I just stumbled onto this while wading through google news...

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] clickz:
Hi, unfortunately I will have to ask for help as I can't find a solution myself.

Until today i ran CyanogenMod 6.1 on my Vodafone HTC Magic and wanted to flash GingerYoshi on it.

Therefore I followed this guide to install a new radio and hboot which seemed to be necessary for the GingerYoshi Rom. According to the guide I used the RA-Recovery 1.7 to flash the SuperWipe_v2.zip, rebooted into RA-Recovery again, flashed the radio.zip, rebooted ... into nothing but the vodafone Logo on red background. At the first boot it showed a little box with an arrow pointing to an Android-Robot and then it stuck at the vodafone screen.

I can't get into fastboot (Back + Power) or any other mode (Volume Down + Power) it only boots to the red vodafone screen. The only action I can provoke is a black screen and a blue led when pressing the trackball during power up.

Any ideas what to do now? Did I really screw my telephone?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Yes you did... the reason is simple.

When you flash a radio using the custom recovery, you have to wait like 2 min for it finish. It's normal that it will reboot a couple of times while it's flashing, and it's also normal to see a different picture for a while....

You ( this what I believe) just did not wait long enough for it to finish and tried to push a button or take out the battery...

So, yes, you are bricked!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Magic2010:
Thats a shame...but when flashing radio and spl, we have to double our attention.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] faridsaab:
it happens bro, try pull out the batery and wait till tomorrow, and try again, if it doesnt work, it seem you have briked
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] clickz:
Thank you for your answers - even though they aren't very encouraging :)

But mumilover might be right, although I waited quite some time before I started to panic, I obviously acted to early an interrupted the flashing process.

Does anyone know a German shop which can unbrick the device? Otherwise I will have to buy a new phone. In the meantime I will stick to my good old Siemens S45 :)

As I am new I cannot post in the developer forum, so I hope someone finds my solution here:

The RC2 for Redux 1.1.1 contains an updated RIL that causes problems on my phone (connection disappears after screen off/sleep and comes back only after reboot). Similar problems are described in the Desire RIL thread with lots of different ROMs: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902752

Solution for me was the downgrade to HTC-RIL 2.2.1001G, no problems with network connection so far.
[General Questions and Answers] hrjj:
Redux problems

I experience 2 problems with Redux 1.2 :

1. Sometimes during the day the level of audio drops down to

almost 0, although nothing changed to the presets. After

reboot everything is ok again.

I got the impression that it has something to do with other

apps using audio. Today the level of audio turned back to

normal after shutting down the service of Tunein Radio.

2. Sometimes with incoming calls I can't answer it because

the screen stays black.

Any solutions ?

Thanks ALOT! There are so many threads i have no time and nerves to read them all, besides, my 3-year-old boy keeps pressing F1 on my keyboard ... :).

Hope download link is the one I look for, i think Central Europe is best for my XT720. When I am done flashing I make another note here!

Do i have to erase all data on phone? Wipe all?
[Milestone XT720 General] hellmonger:
flashing with rds should have cleared everything on the phone and also the contents of the SD card have nothing to do with the stock ROM...

Right, i noticed after flashing. It was my first flash!!! But, still nothing changed in the configuration of the phone. Like I said, i accidentally erased some files from MotoNav app, so every time I try to start it, it says "Please insert MotoNav SD card". Can I repair that? Also this is the cause I cannot install iGo MyWay on the XT720. Any good advice on that?

[EVO 4G General] aethowyn:
You seem overly worried about this. I would of kept your questions in the original thread. They are ordering you a new phone. Keep your original thread updated with your experiences.

Everyone's 3G speed is going to be different based on location and signal strength / radio version.
[EVO 4G General] mintee:
But everyone's speed can be averaged out, and if I'm below the average, living in Philadelphia, there's def something wrong. I just want to prove to myself I'm not crazy.
[EVO 4G General] aethowyn:
I wish it was that easy, but it isn't. Electronics like a radio don't "fizzle" out. They work and then they don't. You want anecdotal evidence to prove to Sprint you have a defective phone when you don't have a defective phone. You just have bad luck.

Do some searching on how cell phone towers choose which phones go on which tower and how network speeds work before going out on a limb. I think it's a rather simple explanation really why your speeds stink: bad reception. Especially in an urban sprawl city.
[EVO 4G General] mintee:
Seriously, can you go back to your original 4 posts and let me try to collect what I want? You're seriously wasting precious mySQL table real estate here. Is it really that hard to ask for someone to post speeds, whether it means something or not.

Quit being argumentative.

[Fascinate General] gubiguy:
Hey guys,

I'm pretty new to tweaking the fascinate, and had some questions regarding flashing different kernels.

1. What kernel should I flash? I'm running superclean 2.9.2 with nitsuj's gingerbread theme. If there's any more information you need to know, just ask!

2. How would I go about flashing the kernel to my phone?

Thanks!

EDIT: HOLY CRAP. I just downloaded the overclocked kernel that sfournie posted below. I thought that simply using superclean made my phone fast, overclocking makes the thing about as snappy as a chihuahua on a caffeine overdose (Recorded ~1600 benchmark stat). The soundfix is awesome, and the colorfix makes everything lose that stupid blue overtone - so that rocks too! I don't know if that kernel down there is posted in a sticky, but if it isn't, then it should be!
[Fascinate General] sfournie:
If you have superclean 2.9.2 then you have a variety of options. You can flash an overclocked kernel which will make your fascinate more sharp and crisp, (you need setcpu which you can get from market)

To flash your going to download this zip file, move it to your sd card, then boot into recovery mode, then you want to select install zip from sd card, choose the kernel you downloaded and hit install. Should work fine, just make sure you that you use kernels meant for Superclean 2.9.2

overclocked:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011626

aggresively undervolted: (a little safer, more conservative yet very well performing)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1012571

For this one make sure you understand if you have voodoo or nonvoodoo

EDIT:

Here is a great compiled list, you want to find the kernels that are touchwiz kernels.

[Fascinate General] gubiguy:
Thank you very much!

I just have one question: I've ueard if these voodoo colorfix and soundfix things aside from the lagfix. Where can I find those /can I have them all active at once?
[Fascinate General] CrucialBT:
One thing to note: I've noticed that a lot of people recommend Wiping your Cache and your Dalvik Cache after installing a new Kernel.

You'll also want to wipe your bstats if you plan on sticking with a kernel for a while as it might give you more accurate battery %'s. You can do that by downloading a terminal emulator from the market, running it, type "su" and hit enter (a permissions window might pop up here, just click "Allow"), and then type "bstats" and hit the enter key again. This will immediately reboot your phone. After 1 or 2 complete cycles you should notice better battery life and %'s. Note: You should generally only do this when your phone is fully charged.
[Fascinate General] mattplaybass:
Question...I follow your directions. I've installed multiple roms on my old moto droid via manual style and rom manager. However, just switched to the fascinate and installed superclean 2.9.2 as well. When I reboot into recovery though, it doesn't give me the option to install from SD. Do I need to flash to a different recovery? Currently it's latest edition of clockwork mod.
[Fascinate General] sfournie:
You may have installed many roms, but only one rom is active at a time, otherwise the old roms are just files and don't mean anything (I think).

What recovery mode are you running, what does it say cwm number is? It should definitely have the install zip from sd option, use the volume up down and power key and edit key to navigate.
[Fascinate General] mattplaybass:
I figured it out. I had to select the apply update.zip to activate the next menu that actually let me chose to browse the SD
[Fascinate General] sfournie:
I used to run about 900 with just superclean nonvoodoo which was fine with voodoo (stock kernel) it was about 1000 and then with the undervolted kernel it was around 1500, the overclock i have hit 1800. but i chose the undervolted because it is battery efficient and just a little more practicle while not losing much performance.
[Fascinate General] gubiguy:
Its awesome. Now, I have heard that our processor is capable of being boosted to 1.6ghz. Is this true, and if so would it be stable?
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Our processor doesn't overclock properly, and the further from 1.0GHz you get, the more "off" it is. People have pushed it to 1.6GHz, but it was found out it wasn't actually running that fast, and anything over 1.1/1.2GHz has had stability issues.
[Fascinate General] tysdad08:
Would there be a reason why my phone will only work with jt's 327_2 kernal none of the others will work even if I do a data wipe they still force close like crazy and if I plug in the phone it just starts restarts its self over and over.
[Fascinate General] sfournie:
The only thing I can figure out is the rom your using isn't compatible with the kernel look at the link I posted above. Specific kernels are for specific roms other than that they should all work fine. I installed every kernel for superclean rom and they all worked.

What rom are you using?
[Fascinate General] tysdad08:
I'm on 2.9.2 superclean
[Fascinate General] sfournie:
Did you use clockwork recovery or try to do it through rom manager or some other program? I always use clockwork recovery. Anyone else have any insight?
[Fascinate General] tysdad08:
I used cwm I don't even have rom manger on my phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qitastuff:
Hi,

Yesterday I had my G7 s-offed using Alpharev 1.8. Now it's running with the Sense MTD, Clockworkmod 2.5.1.7 recovery, and MIUI 1.2.25 rom. It is great, but with one side effect. Whenever the phone runs out of battery and automatically turns off, it won't boot up when being charged. And even if I unplug the charger, the white charging animation continues and it still can not be turned on - the only solution is to pull the battery.

Before s-off, my G7 has been rooted using Unrevoked and running with Clockworkmod (2.5.0.1 modified by MIUI) and the MIUI rom for months. Whenever the phone powered down and got charged, it booted into the recovery, from where I can start the phone.

Does anyone have a similar problem?

Thanks a lot!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giiar:
Have you tried flashing another ROM to see if the problem is still there?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzam72:
You might want to search on usb brick and see if that is your problem ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qitastuff:
Yes, also flashed CM7RC4. And someone having the same problem said he flashed a lot of different ROMs to no avail.

It seems to me how the phone reacts to the charger when powered down should be controlled by HBOOT rather than the operating system, i.e. the rom.

Thanks for the suggestion:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qitastuff:
My phone is working fine except the charging problem. So I guess it's totally different from 'usb brick'. But it may be a good idea to have a look when I have time:)

Thanks for the suggestion.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xPreSiDenT:
OK I just got an HTC Merge(lexikon) but i was surprised to find it hasn't been released yet. so now im stuck with the problem of how to perm root it. I have ran visionary and temprooted it but thats no fun, plus i want to install new roms :D

The merge seems to be very close to the HTC EVO shift, with the only big difference seemingly being the wimax part. The processor is the same, and the memory seems the same too. My question is, would it be safe to try this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=932153) hboot and recovery on the merge? Would this method be safe (apart from the inherent risk of flashing hboots)? Would these roms work on the merge? Too many questions :p

But I've also read that the merge is apparently very close to the g2 etc, and is supposed to be in the HTC Vision family of phones, from what ive read, it seems i have to first convert it to something like the G2(something about partitions etc) and then i'll be able to start flashing roms on it. so I'm confused.

I have been unable to find a matching RUU for this lexikon, as all RUUs Ive found are older than the rom version on the phone. The phones splash screen is for US Cellular, however the phone isnt on their site.

some details:

I am experienced with adb and flashing etc, and I'd be happy to work with devs interested in the merge. Any help would be appreciated.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThaSik1:
I'm quite curious about this as well because CellSouth is getting the merge this month and the first thing i wanna do it root it and possibly get cm7 on the baby. I've scoured the forums and sadly noticed that one doesn exist for this particular phone. I have noticed that it is being associated with the desire Z and possibly the shift but no one has stated which thread to follow for the Merge. Hopefully someone drops in and answers your question bro cuz i'll definitely be following where you go for resources whenever i upgrade :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xPreSiDenT:
no luck man, been searching for more than a week. I guesswork will only start on this once its released and some devs get their hands on this. I wanted to get the ball rolling before it was released so we had something once it landed but their has been no response or interest from any devs etc :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Discostrings:
Alltel pre-orders for the HTC Merge ship tomorrow, which is the first official release of the phone, so I get the feeling there will be more people asking these questions very soon.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThaSik1:
Guess all we can do is be patient..I mean with all the work they are doing over in the G2/DZ forums, it shouldn't take them that long to get things rolling on the Merge :) Dont even own it yet but already eager to overclock it hehehe
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xPreSiDenT:
Hasnt it started shipping yet? No news on google, no news on the forums, it hasnt even appeared here yet. This seems to be the slowest launch of any device ever. :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Discostrings:
I got mine. It's nice.

Alltel, the provider that just launched the phone, is not a major carrier. Alltel has around 800,000 subscribers. Compare that to Verizon Wireless's 102.2 million and AT&T Mobility's 95.5 million, and you'll understand why the forums aren't exactly blowing up with Merge users.

That said, a lot of Alltel subscribers have been waiting for a phone like this, so I'm sure they're selling a lot of them. I think people will be trickling in as the phone launches on other regional carriers like Cellular South. There will probably only be a quicker surge in the user base if the phone launches on Verizon.
