[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bjquinn:
I have an Optimus M from MetroPCS and I installed ADW. While playing around with the settings, I accidentally deleted the last home screen, so now I'm stuck in a Force Close loop for ADW. I can't get to the home screens (I guess there aren't any), I can't get to the ADW settings, etc. The only thing I can get to is the notification bar. So I can't bring up any programs or anything, including the terminal. USB debugging isn't enabled and I can't get to that setting to enable it, so I don't think I can use adb to help.

Is there anything I can do to get out of this loop? I used to know how to hack my way around a T-Mobile G1 (installing custom recoveries, roms, etc.), but with this Optimus M I don't even know how to flash the stock firmware back on it. I'm not sure how to do a factory reset, but I'm not even sure if that would work anyway, since I may have deleted the custom launcher that came with the phone and I don't know if it has the stock launcher (or any way to enable the stock launcher if the LG launcher isn't there).

Can I get to a terminal from the recovery console and delete the ADW settings file or something to get it to go back to default settings? I even have a good backup of good ADW settings I made before I made the changes but I can't get to a point where I can restore those settings.

Any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shad0wboss:
Keep pressing home key and check if you have market running. If so, go there and install ADW launcher again or launcherPro
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bjquinn:
Thanks for the suggestion. In my case, I couldn't get the little "running apps" view to show up while holding down the home button either, but I was able to get to the market a different way. I don't know how many other people will run into this exact issue, but I've fixed it, and here's what I did for posterity's sake.

1. Get out of the force close loop. The way I did this was to pull down the notifications bar and I happened to have Cardio Trainer running in there so I could get to some program OTHER than the launcher itself so the home screen wasn't attempting to load. If you don't have anything running in your notification bar, you might send yourself a text message so you can get in the messaging app through the notification bar.

2. Press and hold the search button, this brings up voice search. Say something (anything), which will bring up a Google search.

3. Now search for ADW Launcher. What you're looking for is a site that will offer you a "download" link, which will load the Market.

4. Uninstall the launcher and immediately reinstall it. Fortunately, ADW wipes out its settings when you do this, and all should be back to normal.

5. Don't delete your last home screen again. In my defense, I clicked the little X to delete my last home screen just to see what it would say, and figured it was safe since it always asked me to confirm before deleting the other home screens. Nope, it just killed ADW forever instead. Lesson learned.

And can i just flash it with RSD Lite if i come fron 2.1 2.5.1.1 BLUR STOCK ROM ?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
I just got my Incredible a week ago and had it rooted using the latest version of Unrevoked. I had it flashed with Incredibly Re-Engineered v2.3 and everything was going perfectly..... until a few minutes ago when I tried to flash HeyItsLou #9. When the device boots it vibrates 5 times, powers off and has a flashing green light, and won't do anything after that until I do a battery pull. I can only get to HBoot which is now S-ON and can access ClockworkMod recovery but can't access the SDcard because the system can't find it. So I can't do a nandroid backup. I've also tried flashing new baseband images but they don't seem to do anything.

I've read around that this is indicative of a hardware failure, but was wondering if someone else has any idea about this.

When I plug it into my computer running windows 7 x64 it asks for the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM driver which I can't seem to find one that will work.

I have about a years experience with rooting the original droid so I'm well versed in disaster recovery and I'm a big linux/pc geek so throw what ever ideas you have at me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] refthemc:
Try this

-From bootloader boot into recovey and restore your latest nandroid

-if you somehow trased your recovery: from fastboot flash another recovery then once booted into recovery flash a new rom

hope this helps...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
Nandroids won't work since I can't access the SDcard. I have a refurbished unit coming tomorrow, I just need to get CWM off but the problem is the phone is S-ON.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpwhitty11:
Try the factory reset option in HBoot?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfiniti9:
Happened to me. Since it seems to only happen to people rooted (cant find one person not rooted that had it happen) you would think it wasn't hardware. A lot of people seemed to have it happen right after flashing something.

Oh btw, plug it in your usb port while powering on the phone, it will boot.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
Tried it.

I saw one case where the person said they weren't rooted. Plugging it in would allow me to boot to CWM but wouldn't allow me to boot the rom.

I've already had a play with z's free x10 b3 & b4 & wolfbreaks CM6.1.3 v05, and I'm up to speed on flashing baseband via flashtool, so I'm not totally new to his, but I downloaded from the third link in the 2nd post and extracted but cannot find a zip file to use with xrecovery.

Is this ROM installed differently? Am I doing something wrong?

Any help woud be greatly appreciated!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultimategeppie:

When you extract the .rar file there shoiuld be a file called update.zip. This is the file you can use from within xRecovery.

But why should you use v10. v11 is out and some of us experience less WLOD's.

v11 works for me, also with update.zip.

Swype

Swift key takes the same amount on landscape. Swype looks good and its takes less real estate on portrait and landscape. But the beta version is having an issue not automatically spacing after each word. If you google beta swype and register you can download and install swype. Or you can google EVO swype and download that version. The space issue is not on that version, but you do lose the mic option. It's a toss up on your decision. I personally can go with no mic for now.

[Windows Phone 7 General] digger1985:
I am not talking about sideloading. Android and iOS are hacked within weeks if not days of being released. WP7 has been out for a while and it seems there hasn't been any major progress in this front.

Anyone know why this is? Has MS made WP7 THAT secure that even xda can't break into it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] FishFaceMcGee:
If you're not talking about sideloading, what are you talking about? The primary modes of "hacking" iOS and Android involve sideloading homebrew apps that do different stuff, which is already happening on WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] digger1985:
I was mostly talking about system modifications. Where are utilities like quick toggles for the settings and such? Or for example having folders in the app list. These were added pretty quickly when iOS was jailbroken I believe.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Awaiting the proper APIs
[Windows Phone 7 General] digger1985:
Hmm... I was under the impression that the APIs were there but just not available to the devs. Cracking open WP7 was meant to solve this right?
[Windows Phone 7 General] GuestK00306:
Not really. Devs have no access to native APIs and the access they have managed to gain is still sandboxed to restrict what they can do with the phone.

You could still crack open WP7 without access to native APIs, but it makes it more unlikely that anybody will. When devs have access to native APIs, there is more of a chance that somebody has overlooked a method of gaining access to the phone's features.

I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty sure iPhone did not have a native API available when it was jailbroken. Android is mostly open source, so it's pretty much already jailbroken ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] fiinix:
Just to mention, i was today able to get full root control of running processes on the current phone (phone sided code). And some api's that are hidden by microsoft can easily be reloaded with "LoadLibrary" and "GetProcAddress" like enumerate running processes. (Look under wp7>hacking>dllimport).
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
its coming...very soon
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Microsoft developers are not amatuers, and TBQH I hope it never is. They need to shut down homebrew IMO, or certainly not facilitate it. All it does it lead to issues and I don't think Microsoft wants the solution to issues to be "go to XDA" or "flash CustomROM_01."

Android is a mess because of all that ****.
