[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHitman:
Hi,

i can't connect to any web site using the internet browser or any of the alternative i've tryed (dolphin, skyfire, opera...)

It works fine in wifi but as soon as i switch to data, i can't surf. All apps works fine, ebay, facebook, it only happens when trying to access a web page.

I'm using leedroid but i don't think it's related. I've tryed a full wipe and it's working. So my guess is some settings are messed up.

Is there a way to clear all web browsers data instead of full wipe ?

Thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHitman:
Nevermind, I've just reset dolphin settings to default and it works.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gusmiq:
Hi, i have the same problem and i found this thread but i dont want to do a full reset of the phone.

I have the original ROM and i had been using the internet browser and apps without problem, also with WiFi, Internet passthrough and with 3G.

But 3 days ago after been navigating with Internet passthrough from my PC, then i couldnt use anymore the Internet Browser with 3G. The rare thing is that i can use all the other apps using internet 3G, like Tapatalk, Facebook, Weather...

I tryed different thins lika a "task killer" app, "restart" the phone, check the "Settings" in the Browser for any proxy configuration, then i "reset to default" the Browser configuration... but nothing works.

I have to add that is i use WiFi or Internet Passthrough conection, the Internet Browser works great, but only doesnt with 3G conection.

I would appreciate any advice, thanks in advance.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gusmiq:
Well, problem solved. It seems to be that there is something in the configuration of my APN that allows to works without problems the apps, but not the internet browsers (default browser and dolphin). After some changes (i really dont know wich was the change that solved the problem), the browsers start to work fine.

I have SDK installed..Installed SDK Tools, Platform tools and the Google USB Driver Packages..... I have been trying to push a boot animation I get all the way through CMD prompt I type "adb shell reboot" my phone reboots with the same boot animation........one thing though in device manager it says composite adb interface.. (composite) is that right???????? and also should I plug my phone in for charge or disk drive
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
First you need to put the bootanimation.zip file in the tools folder of the sdk folder.

Your phone should be plugged in as charge only.

Once you navigate to your folder, the only commands you need to run are:

adb remount

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media [if on sense /system/customize/resource]

adb reboot.

And you'll be okay.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
You want your phone to be plugged in and set as 'charge only.' Once it's plugged in, open up a command prompt. Depending on how you set things up, you may need to navigate to your sdk platform tools folder. Once your in the directory where your adb drivers are (if you put the adb.exe and adbwinapi.dll file's in the system32 folder, you should be able to issue adb commands from any directory). Anyways, type

adb devices (hit enter) you should see your device's serial number show up, if everything is set up correctly.

If so, then navigate to the directory where your boot animation file is. For instance, if I was doing this, and I was on a sense rom, I would do this

cd C:\Android (because that's where my bootanimation.zip file is located)

adb remount

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource

adb reboot

Once it reboots, you should have your new bootanimation. (providing the boot animation you downloaded is not a flashable zip file, and it is indeed meant to be pushed with adb)

Edit: Damn, roxx you were way ahead of me on that one! :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbancroft41:
ok I'll try this... I was putting system/media... Did not know it varied per rom
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Lol only a couple of minutes. :)

It doesn't vary by rom [in a sense] but the TYPE of rom:

You push the animation file to the following.

Sense roms: /system/customize/resource

AOSP roms: /system/media
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbancroft41:

[Desire HD General] JamDonot:
Firstly, apologies if this has already been asked, but I did search, and could not find an answer. I currently have a desire HD, running Cyanogen RC4. I have quite a lot of apps, including ones I paid for that are no longer available in the market, most notably n64oid. I have placed an order for an Xperia Play (I know it is probably a lesser phone that the Desire HD, but I am a sucker for new tech), and want to know how I can move apps such as this to the new phone. I cannot download it from the market as it is no longer available, but obvisously want to use this app on my new phone.

I hope this question makes sense, and thank you for replies in advance
[Desire HD General] Mitty1990:
Back all your apps up via titanium backup and then restore them via this too
[Desire HD General] festa20:
Yea I would use titanium and just back up everything u need its pretty good
[Desire HD General] Flussen:
You can use appsaver too. It saves your apps to a folder on your sdcard. Simply install the .apk files from there on the other phone.

[XPERIA X8 General] kecil26:
i think the best solution is to reset it using pc companion :D

Edit: but remember to backup ur data.pc companion will wipe ur data.
[XPERIA X8 General] nikoszzn:
i reset the phone from SE companion still i have some lag issues...is best to to take the phone for a service or try format the sd card because maybe is there a problem and not in the phone
[XPERIA X8 General] Zlosin:
i think that formating SD card could solve your problem
[XPERIA X8 General] kecil26:
then, it could be hardware prob :(
[XPERIA X8 General] nikoszzn:
after the sd format i did it stills lags the mp3 songs and when i record with the camera ...probably is a harware isuue i will take it to someone expert...is anything else that i have do exept the update/repair to have my guarantee right so they cannot understand that i rooted the phone etc... ???
[XPERIA X8 General] nikoszzn:
hey guys something else to played from my pc some mp3 files that i have in the card and they having problems is it the sd card problem or the phone?
[XPERIA X8 General] kecil26:
sd card mybe? :D have u format ur sd?..
[XPERIA X8 General] nikoszzn:
yes twice and again same problem if i play a song from a sd it lags,changes the song...i think if the problem was not in the sd then the mp3 files from card they had to play fine right?or maybe the phone corupt the files???
[XPERIA X8 General] kecil26:
it could be ur phone dude :D
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tethers:
Greetings.

I just bought my Thunderbolt the other day and so far I'm loving it more each day. I successfully rooted it and got ROM Manager on it.

I'm confused as to what exactly a ROM is and how to get it working on my phone. I've been reading about a few ROMs that de-bloat the phone and those are the ones that I'm looking to get onto my phone, but I'm rather confused as to how to install them. I've downloaded the Des BAMF one and put it on my phone's SD card and renamed it to "update.zip" and chose the option "Install ROM from SD Card." It then reboots into a different looking theme/skin that appears to be the default. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or not.

Could someone fill me in on how exactly to install a custom ROM on the Thunderbolt?

Any help is appreciated.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterDonut:
Hey.

I am in the exact same boat as you. Just got my tbolt and unlocked it.. And for the longest time.. 5 hours i had no idea how to install the roms.

So from what I did.

I backed up my user app on Titanium back up.

I downloaded the zip file.. and placed it in my SD CARD. Don't put it in any folder. or you could you just have to find it, without changing the name.

So then with Rom Manager, you should backup current ROM

Then you should reboot into Recovery.

First we will wipe the data/factory reset.

wipe the cache partition.

Apply the new rom. To do this select the install zip from sdcard.

The next option would be to select chose zip from sd card.

Then you will select your rom from the sd card.

Once you have selected the rom you will get to the conformation page.

I have a link that can show you step by step.. but i am not over my 10 post to post link outside the site
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregdalfonso:
there is no need to rename to update.zip. if you are properly rooted with s-off all you need to do is choose choose "install rom from sd card" in rom manager. Find the rim you want to install (name doesn't matter) and click it. It will then prompt you with two checkboxes.

1. Will be to make a back up

2. Will be to wipe data and cache.

MAKE A BACKUP. As for wiping data and cache that erases everything from your phone (not things on the sd card) it is recommended to do that because sometimes the phone gets weird and force closes if you don't, but sometimes it works fine.

After clicking ok, it will boot into recovery, go through back up and installing and reboot. First reboot may take awhile but after thar you have your new rom.

Let me know if that answered your question. If it didn't, clarify for me so I can better assist you.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterDonut:
greg i have a question. when you wipe data and cache.

your sdcard is safe right?. or does the sdcard get wiped as well
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] headcheese:
sdcard will not get wiped.

another thing, if your just flashing a new kernel, or updating a rom, like from bamf 1.2 to 1.3, usually a full wipe is not necessary.

But if your switching roms like from BAMF to CM7 always wipe.

just make sure you read the threads and backup before you change anything.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmiller98:
The easiest and simple method of putting a rom on you phone is thru clockwork. You can access the xda site thru an app on the market, just search for xda. Download the app, open the app and sign in. Find the t-bolt forum and download the desired rom using your phone. Once the rom is downloaded, boot into recovery, select "wipe data/factory reset" , select "wipe cache partition", then select "advanced", select "wipe dalvik cache". I usually do this process twice just to make sure. The select "install zip from sd card", find the folder where you downloaded the rom select that then select the file/rom. Install it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterDonut:
Thanks alot appreciate the feed back and the community
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tethers:
Thank you for all the replies everybody. Clarified a lot of things for me.

I forgot to ask something in my original post; what exactly is a kernel and how would I come about installing it on my TB?

I've been reading a lot about them and I am still clueless as to what a kernel does.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmiller98:
The kernel controls the power and sped of the phone. You can install it the same way I explained prior. The devs tweak the kernel to get better performance and battery life. Adrynalynes 2.0 is good. Dont worry about quadrant scores/ speeds as they are bs. I am also not a fan of overclocking, just my preference.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] headcheese:
im not sure exactly, but without getting too technical, it controls your processor speed.

it can make your phone faster, smoother, and more efficient.

if you flash a good rom, i see your on das bamf, it already has a decent kernel.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utkanos:
Check out the section on kernels on wikipedia, it does a decent job explaining it. The reason you might want to run a custom kernel is to add support for something that is disabled in the stock kernel config, like extra filesystem support or tunneling or to undervolt the processor to save on battery. More slots can be added so you can change clock speeds, etc.
[Xoom General] luckie19:
Ok how, were, and what do i need to use face time on this thing??
[Xoom General] Handshake87:
lol facetime is "iFad" not Xoom lol

awwww then no real use for front facing cam other than use it as a mirror lol.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
You can only use Google talk to video chat. Only to other xooms or computers.
[Xoom General] Handshake87:
You can also use Skype and Tango and many other apps... google is the best way to find more apps
[Xoom General] jvs60:
You can also use fring, oovoo, tango, and yahoo video

Not to be negative here but it amazes me the questions that are asked on this forum. lol Facetime? Really? ilol
[Xoom General] luckie19:
Yea really I haven't been researching it since i got it. Been to bz playing with it

and remember I heard something somewhere about face time is all, didnt remember for what product and thought it was the xoom. So excuse my ignorance for not been that informed. but thanks for the reply:p
[Xoom General] Handshake87:
is there oovoo on Android?
[Xoom General] ghoticov:
Face time is advertised all over that it is for Apple, that is why I was surprised that someone would think it was for Android. :)
[Xoom General] skeptikal_1:
Yep. Works great on my Evo and xoom
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
FaceTime is a joke.

Just use Tango (etc.). Cross platform for iOS/Android on 3G and WiFi.

where did you get the .apk for Oovoo? I've used it for years and always found it better than Skype but couldn't find it for the Xoom. All my family uses Oovoo so I would love to be able to chat with them on the go with this thing.
[Xoom General] Jaywan:
Yes
[Xoom General] TheZuneLune:
Did I miss something? Can we use Skype for video chat on the Xoom?

[Nook Color General] miniaturepeddler:
Rom Manager has been updated today. I would suggest nook owners who have premium wait for a fix to come out. I contacted the development and let him know that the update breaks Rom Managerpremium licensing

The problem has been fixed today by the developer. It seems that the problem was a licensing/registration problem with Wifi only tablets, and he was able to fix it!
[Nook Color General] Ramdriver:
I took the update today and now when I try to create a nandroid, it backs up the boot then says "can't mount /system" and then reboots. Anyone else have the same problem with the update?
[Nook Color General] Ramdriver:
Never mind. Downgraded to 3.0.0.5 and it works fine.
[Nook Color General] swedenboy:
Dear all,

I'm using 3.0.0.5, everytime I boot to CWR on eMMC, I cannot mount SD card to install zip file or make a backup.

I always have to boot from SD card. Any body help me please. Thank you very much.
[Nook Color General] lafester:
there is no premium version of clockwork recovery and there was no update today.

are you talking about rom manager? if so please fix your post :)
[Nook Color General] miniaturepeddler:
The developer fixed the app today bring the rev up to 3.0.1.7

It seems the issue was a new licensing schema that he implemented that did not like the wifi only tablets.

All fixed now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] marlasinger:
I have an Atrix on AT&T. Which means there's a bootloader encryption, and the carrier prevents non-market apk installations, which I have resolved since my phone is rooted and I have changed the boot animation already.

In order to do these things, I found Ghost Commander that would let me chmod my system directories...which is fine, but I feel kind of gimped that I can't do it on terminal.

Basically, what I want to be able to do is remount /system as rw using terminal.

This method doesn't work on both terminal and emulator on my phone. I have done:

Terminal:

Code:

sudo su

cd [sdk directory]

./adb devices

./adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system

and this is where I get stuck because I just get an Invalid argument error.

Here is some info about my sytem -

Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory

/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system ext3 ro,noatime,nodiratime, data=ordered 0 0

Been searching for the answers for a while now and tried all kinds of syntax, and now I'm here. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fubaya:
Try:

mount -o remount,rw /system

The remount option automatically looks up the info for /system so you shouldn't have to bother with the details.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] marlasinger:
Hmm, I tried that thanks, and I still got 'Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory'
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fubaya:
Hmm, I can't think of any reason that wouldn't work but it sounds like your phone is locked down pretty tight. Do you know if others have been able to remount /system?

What version of busybox do you have? Maybe you could try updating it. There are one or two free busybox updater apps on the market, if you can use them.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evilkorn:
Have you tried just 'adb remount'?

Does the mount command require busybox? Do you have that properly installed?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NeoA:
That requires adbd itself to be run in root mode (this is different from being rooted on the phone) & you could do that only on insecure boot image. mount/unmount both happen to come from the busybox package. It would be hard to contemplate that Motorola actually changed that but nothing would stop them from. You could try updating the busybox utility onboard your phone. There is nothing with your usage of the command - it would work the same way on my Nexus S
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] marlasinger:
I do have Busybox in /system/xbin. Thinking that maybe the xbin directory may need to have the rewrite permissions, I changed its permissions to 777 using the chmod command in phone Terminal. I did the remount command 'mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system' in shell on the phone, and I THOUGHT I BRICKED! Haha, but it just turned off, and I rebooted to find that my button backlights were turned off...which I fixed with the brightness file.

Anyhow, I think I'll just use the chmod command because that seems to work. NeoA, I think you are right about the adbd to run in root mode, because I've seen discussions about that before.

Thanks for the feedback guys! At least I know I wasn't having syntax errors to say the least :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fubaya:
So did it remount it as rw? The mount command was running before, just giving errors, but if it's running that should mean the permissions were ok.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fr4gg0r:
try

busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] marlasinger:
"mount: can't find /system/app in /proc/mounts"

but

busybox chmod 777 /system

is good enough for me, for now :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MongooseHelix:
Using chmod to change permissions won't actually give you rw access to the system partition since it won't change whether it's mounted as read-only or r/w. To be able to run the chmod command, the system must already have been mounted as r/w or you would have received a "Read-only file system" error. It must have gotten mounted as read/write when the remount command caused a reboot. You can see how /system is mounted by just typing "mount" in adb shell which will list all of the mounted partitions.

Hi guys I don't wana use computer. Cause im not at home right now is it possible to change baseband with xrecovery? Cause I can download the file with wifi.

No it isn't possible. you can only do so through flashtool

sorry man, the way bb flashing is done is via flash mode on the pc - there is no way for xrec to emulate this unfortunately, it needs to be the old fashioned usb-in-a-pc mode. sorry!
[XPERIA X10 General] sofia-captivate:
Lol it's ok. Wish there was a way people could do it with phone only just like changing roms cause I wana try cm7 and miui but if I don't like the rom means I have to change my baseband again or they should make rom available for all baseband would be awesome
[XPERIA X10 General] BobSlob:
Grab the BB patches that are floating around... you can flash those with xrecovery and will allow you to do exactly what you'd like.
[XPERIA X10 General] sofia-captivate:
What's BB?
[XPERIA X10 General] jimbo77:
BB = BaseBand
[XPERIA X10 General] pcfanboy142:
Those patches don't change baseband. As of now, the only possible way of changing bb is through flashtool.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
he never once said it did.....

It allows you to keep your current baseband and flash a non compatible rom however, therefore this would be better if her if she has no access to a pc.
[XPERIA X10 General] pcfanboy142:
Hmm, you're right. Still, I'm assuming BObSlob meant it was possible to change BB using those patches, because the OP's question was quite clear, she wants to switch BB through xrecovery.

If I'm mistaken i apologize in advance.
[XPERIA X10 General] sofia-captivate:
Your right lol. But I guess I have to use flashtool when I get home tonight. How long does it take to change baseband? And would I lose root?
[XPERIA X10 General] CMoney87:
You can change the BB without changing your FW, so no you will not lose root. But like it was mentioned you can keep your BB and still use those ROMs if you flash the BB patch through XRec.
[XPERIA X10 General] BobSlob:
No, I meant it as a workaround for the issue, which Ive used myself. This essentially provides you a means of keeping your current baseband and making it compatible with any rom.

Think of it as an actually delivered unified baseband that Trip promised almost two months ago.
[XPERIA X10 General] cruzin_cruzing:
Changing basebands is possible through custom recoveries such as ClockworkMod. xRecovery does not have the ability to alter anything in the flash memory because we do not have a fully unlocked bootloader.
