[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mokthecok:
I recently dropped my Vibrant, cracked the screen, and decided to sell the phone as-is instead of trying to fix it. Now the phone turns on, but the display stays black and is completely unresponsive. My question is, is it possible to wipe the entire internal SD without using the screen at all? I would like to delete literally everything since I don't want the buyer seeing any of my stuff when they replace the display.

I can probably figure out when download mode is active since ODIN shows when your phone is connected. From experience I know that ODIN wipes the phone but still leaves the previous folders and files intact in the internal SD. Would checking "Re-partition" do the job?

Another option might be through ADB, but are there any commands that I can use to wipe it? Keep in mind that I am not able to mount the phone to my computer through the drop down bar :( Is there anyway to force mount the phone to my computer at all?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
No repartition won't help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
You can do it via adb. Look up "parted" command. There's a tutorial for the G1 somewhere on XDA. Should be pretty similar, I would think.

Edit: Did you have debugging enabled prior to breaking it? Also, what recovery are you using? You can access adb if you can get to CWM recovery using buttons.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mokthecok:
I'm not really sure what recovery I had, was never too savvy with the differences between them. I was using Trigger with OverStock if that means anything. Hopefully I'll be able to get into CWM recovery...kinda hard without being able to see when to let go of the buttons :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
Think it's usually about 1.5 seconds on mine, if that helps any lol.

Edit: Wait...so did you deactivate debugging? If the phone boots and you have debugging on (assuming it's on by default in Trigger?), you definitely don't need to mess with recovery.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mokthecok:
Luckily, debugging was on and I was able to access everything through Droid Explorer. WidgetLocker gave me some trouble with unlocking the phone, but was able to uninstall it through adb, and then was finally able to format my internal SD with Droid Explorer's screen capturing thing. Just gotta flash back to stock now and it's good to go!

Thanks for the help!
[XPERIA X10 General] thesoundofsilence:
Hello,

Simple inquiry with regards to flashing the new CM7 RC4 to Xperia X10a

Device is currently on CM 6.1.3. I have downloaded flash tool as baseband version is .55

I wanted to confirm the proper protocol in order to accomplish a successful flash. Having read through the posts/tutorials I've gathered I will need to flash the lower grade baseband version .52 via flash tool.

As my device is currently on modded firmware would I need to flash back to 2.1 utilizing flash tool. Whats confusing me here is the mentioning that the baseband and kernel is included in the CM7 download file. Q/A for flash tool states it can flash original images 1.6>2.1. As I am currently on 2.2 how does this impact flashing of the appropriate baseband in order to upgrade to CM7.

Furthermore if the baseband is included in the ROM file download. Does that implicate a one step process via flash tool for successful flash to CM7. Would I need an original firmware file to work in tandem with the custom rom via flash tool? Or must I flash baseband seperate from ROM

Any clarification is much appreciated.

Thanks everyone

** Flashed over as per suggested instruction. Experiencing random reboot incidents with CM7

Reviewing online information with regards to a fix. Device is randomly power cycling when left idle and when Browser application is launched from dock bar or app drawer.

Any ideas or implementations for a fix would be appreciated as this is quite frustrating.

- Ive noticed that the instructions for rom installation state to allow the device an idle period of a minute before having it go through an automatic power cycle. however this doesnt seem to happen. upon first boot as soon as i attempt to turn on wifi, the phone will automatically boot itself. speculating that wifi may be involved with the above mentioned incident. still researching.

- Attempted reflash. Skip past initial google setup. Activate Wifi, authenticate with a network. Reboot and disconnect from wifi. Reboot to xrec, fix permissions. Unsuccessful. Same result.

- Installed wififix in apps folder. Same result. Phone will power cycle when downloading apps from market via wifi.
[XPERIA X10 General] coolsid8:
I think the same baseband file is included in the rom's zip file.

first use flashtool to go to .52 baseband then flash the rom in xrecovery.

Reflashed ROM and gapps within same session. Same issue being experienced. Will attempt another flash.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You can start flashing roms as normal. You didn't make a bad choice rooting without data access, because whether you do or don't doesn't make a different. i would say just make a back up of your apps in titanium backup, then backup your rom before flashing.

And you can pm me if you need any help. :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Not being able to update the profile won't make any difference at all, if you have no data connection to begin with. Once you're able to get things situated, and you need to get your phone activated again, you'll just need to make sure you're on a Sense rom before you activate it again. No worries, you can flash away all you want, with or without a data connection.

Also, how have you had your Evo for 1 1/2 years!? They were released June 4th last year!:p
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kriskat74:
Ha ha really? I feel like I've had this evo for years.. since the day I got it I've been like a kid in a candy store! Thanks for the reassurance everyone. Unfortunately, I've just encountered the problem with the SD card not being recognized by my phone or my PC. According to my research, I'm supposed to find this file on my SD card under android. secure and delete it? But my PC isn't recognizing my card, and my apps that are on SD are seen by my phone. I get a force close when attempting to unmount SD. My market apps won't install or uninstall.... ugh. Like an idiot,I never did a Nandroid backup. I really don't care about losing my app backups though,I just don't want to mess up my phone. All this information is overwhelming me... Nandroid this, titanium that, recovery boot, drivers, and on and on.... so much advice is outdated I don't know which to follow. I'm a dummy! That's why I need my smartphone to help me out lol.... how do I fix this?

Eek....I just saw a gigantic spider.... creepy..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
in a nutshell, you can do anything with your phone, without data access, or service.

I rooted and flashed the ROM I did for my old Moment, after it had been turned off so I could sell it.

Now that you are rooted, I uses Titanium backup for all my apps/data. I only backup actually apps, not HTC stuff, etc, or anything that comes with the ROM you flash.

You can tell this becasue the apps are in white lettering in the Backup menu.

At least they are on mine, and I use all default settings.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kriskat74:
rooted without data access

Thanks everyone...I fixed my problem with my sd card, turns out mine had gotten corrupted so I will deal with that later.I just put in my other card and Im back in business....lost all my personal info though. Thats the least of my worries. Someone said I can do anything on my phone without data service, but they must mean only when I am in Wifi zone right ? See, unfortunately, I dont live in a populated area. I have no wifi access at home and there are hardly any free wifi spots in town. At home, I can see that there are wifi networks around (linkys via cox communications), but they are locked. Oh, thats another question i had....why do people lock their wifi? I never did, and I have no problem letting others access mine when they need it. Should I? If so, why?I am so sorry if I sound clueless again, but Im learning a little more every day thanks to people like you!

So as far as communication, Im out of luck. A couple months ago,I had an issue connecting to the network while i was at home, but i just turned on my sprint hotspot and i had instant network access so i couldnt call or text, but i was able to get a hold of my daughter on facebook lol. How did my phone do that? I dont get it. I am going to a couple of those prepaid phones tomorrow so we can make calls in the meantime.

As far as navigation, any tips on how to find any apps that dont need network access that work well? I found a couple, but they seem so complicated to set up. And, I tried Nettalk for making calls over wifi but it only works sometimes. I read about apps that offer free sms and calls over wifi but I couldnt find one that was stable.

I cant wait to get my service restored..I didnt realize how much I depended on it. I still havent flashed any ROMS...Im a little nervous. I still dont totally understand what is different about my evo now tthat its rooted, but i plan to educate myself once I get full access to wifi again.

Any advice/tips is very much appreciated. Thanks again for this useful forum.

I know some people requested I make a video of this. Here it is. Excuse the rough edit/video quality.

Nodo Updated Samsung Focus vs. HTC Arrive: Game Load Times

It is actually much closer than I expected. I really expected the Samsung to consistently out perform the HTC by a noticeable amount. After doing the test, I feel much better about SD cards in place of NAND. If you are unable to watch the video, both phones consistently load within 1 second of each other, however there were two games where the Focus was like 3 seconds faster - which I guess I can live with.

I have the same problem.

I have a Dell Streak 7 without 3G, with WiFi

Purchased through Dell on May 19, 2011.

I am running Android Froyo 2.2.

I plugged in my Dell Streak 7 last nigh to the power charger and this morning there are small lines across the screen up and down if I hold in the Landscape position starting from right below the front facing camera.

I powered off and back on completely and I also used a paperclip tip and reset the Dell Streak from the side reset hole (sorry I forgot what doing this is called) Lines are still there.

Has this problem resolved for you and are there others with the same problem and perhaps a solution that does not require hardware repair/replacement.?

I'm currently running CM7 RC4, and I'm trying to edit my framework-res.apk. But when I push the file back into my phone I just get force closes on everything. Am I doing something wrong, or there's a new way to edit the framework-res.apk? I use to be able to do this back in CM6 and if I recall correctly, back in CM7 RC1 too.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noodles2224:
A reboot fixes that.. because you're pushing back the framework that runs everything at boot I am sure.. so..

- adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

- adb reboot ;)

[Nook Color General] DairyKnight:
I've just updated my firmware with the new CM7 RC4 release and Darlinger's OC Kernel (Released 3/31). According to the release log, they should support hardward decoding.

However, when I open MP4 files with RockPlayer, it still reports that this format is not supported with the system player.

Am I doing something wrong, or it still doesn't support hardware decoding? :confused:
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
Do these files play on other ROMs?
[Nook Color General] DairyKnight:
So far as I know, they would play with the rooted stock ROM. I'm not sure about Froyo or Honeycomb, though.
[Nook Color General] woot1524:
Do a search for "nook color handbrake preset". You'll find a thread on all about how to encode mp4 videos to work on the nook. There are some options when encoding the video that when enabled will break playback on the nook color. Mainly the video resolution.
[Nook Color General] DairyKnight:
Thanks. But I don't really think that's an encoding issue. The file played perfectly with the stock rom and system video player. :(
[Nook Color General] nemir:
If Nook Color' sample video cannot play by CM7 RC4 so hardware decoding is still disabled.

Here is the sample video from official Nook Color intro I extracted from latest firmware (1.10) :

http://www.mediafire.com/file/s5ka0xkdnsf4ajo/welcome_video.mp4

If default video player cannot play so hardware decoder still not enabled for CM7 RC4 and all variants...

Managing to play the video by means of diffrent 3rd party applications ( all video player that decode software and hardware based) make no sense...
[Nook Color General] woot1524:
Hmm I don't know what the deal is then... HW decoding is working brilliantly for me on CM7 RC-4 with latest OC kernel. I have a couple 720p mp4 movies that I re-encoded via the handbreak preset, and they played just fine.
[Nook Color General] nemir:
Stock ROM from NC can play http://www.mediafire.com/file/s5ka0xkdnsf4ajo/welcome_video.mp4 videos but CM7 RC4 still cannot plays and they claim hardware video decoder enabled!...

Offical welcome_video.mp4 is the proof of CM7 RC4 is STILL software based...

Overclocking may help only software decoding? But I want to use hardware decoder and latest version not old one used 1.1.15.2766 .. NC's offical latest video decoder is 1.1.15.3172 for our NC ( PowerVR SGX 530)

NOBODY uses latest hardware because hardware decoding is still unusable... Acceptence of this current reality and then focusing on OVERCLOCKING CPU makes no sense when you have a hardware decoder's power ...
[Nook Color General] aludal:
Exactly! I was trying to make sense of this mess from January in my blog fineoils.blogspot.com. With a Nookie Froyo, Nookkolor started to lose everything that was there of hardware decoding AND hardware rendering. I was laghed at by CM7 NC dev dalingrin on my suggestion that lots of HW assistance in video playback is based on SGX, especially the HW overlay. CM7 team is of opinion that mp4/H.264 decoding can be made in DSP (IVA2 in our case) audio buffers for which were that "magic video fix" at the CM7 nightly 17 level. What we have is more or less smooth YouTube 2.1.16 (less smooth than EVO's 2.0.x "HQ" YouTube for Eclair) and stuttering/losing frames Flash 10.1...10.2 ("inline YouTube), plus stuttering local file playback with more than 480p or so. I have no indication that any HW-conscious FFmpeg codecs was ever used. NEON/Stagefright framework is missing/broken for unknown reason. Only Opera Mobile is capable of using 2D hardware assisted UI scrolling/layout, any other app/Webkit/launcher/wallpaper has no idea they all can use 2D/3D hardware acceleration, as, yes, drivers are broken/falling back to SW too easily. Sure, VOME engine by VisualOn might be just promised to AOSP 2.3.3 but never made it there, however I don't understand why latest Omapzoom commits on SGX driver and a special OMAP3 Adobe Flash Plugin couldn't be used.

Sorry for the long rant, but it seems that 90 % of CM7 dev efforts are concentrated on producing an "average" ROM for 40 or so supported devices. Our Nookcolor has unexpectedly better graphics hardware than all of them -- except Droid X.
