This actually worked for me. Running Continuum v5 RC2

edit: not sure if it makes a difference, but I applied a boot ani made from UOT kitchen. I extracted the bootanimation.zip from the cooked file, renamed it accordingly, and placed it into the referred directory. Reboot and viola.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] iXNyNe:
For compatibility purposes would you mind converting your packages to edify rather than amend? Also since it seems newer (gingerbread) roms use sanim.zip rather than bootanimation.zip maybe looking into creating a symlink or something (ill experiment with that myself).

Relayed from Tofer's CM7 final v2 MyTouch 4g now with BluMagic theme! Go Steelers!!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fritzgerald:
First off your zip was compressed. For bootanimation.zip you have to set it as store only, no compression. Second, your desc.txt was double spaced between lines. If you open your txt in Notepad++ you'll see it but if you open it in Notepad you wont. I'd recommend getting Notepad++ and use that for making your desc.txt files. Fixed those two issues and copied your animation to my phone. Looks pretty smooth.

Here's a working one...

I flashed Miui and I'm trying to go back to Windows 6.5

can someone link me a guide to put the phone back to full stock. Active sync NO longer pops up and phone is not recognized by microsoft.

thanks.

Edit: Figures, I found the answer after posting.

1. press volume down then press power button briefly

2. once in bootloader, color bars screen, plug usb in

3. run {your rom}.exe you downloaded from HTC
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Enter bootloader and flash from there,, the instructions about activesync are more trouble than help, and it doesn't have to connect to activesync.

In bootloader when the white bit shows USB instead of serial you can flash.

That being said, you would find all the Info you need in the winmo section, rather than asking in the android section.

Edit ahh you found it.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] c0l3:
there are limits to overclocking you know?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Abazel:
Also, we should have an Advanced Clock Calibration option (some AMD mobos have something like that) to get the second core enabled =))... No, man, I think is impossible in normal conditions to push our Milestone's CPU to these frequencies. Anyway, ~1200-1250Mhz wouldn't be an extremely hard objective to achieve (maybe daily usable, if you like something warm in your pocket ^^).

I've looked everywhere but I cant seem to find a complete answer.

I rely heavily on my phone for work and since I'm a broke college student I cant afford the occasional alarm not going off or the other party not hearing me during a call. With that said, what are the common bugs with the gingerbread roms?(ex. cyanogen7,royal ginger,ud,..ect)

I am dying to root & rom my phone to gingerbread but I would also like to keep my job.

Thanks for the replies.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camalus:
I suggest doing some reading so you know what you are getting into.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
The simple answer is that CM7 is stable and everything works. The complex answer is that everyone's hardware is different and some people report random issues and can't seem to get it to operate the way they want. If you rely on your phone that much you either need to try a custom rom when you have a few days off or just accept that you are better off sticking with stock.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakeshow423:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Bombastic:
On my family members' Nokia N8 and Sony Ericsson Vivaz, the wifi connects when apps require it, and disconnects when they are finished. Is it possible to get this functionality on Android?

For example:

On my DHD I click the wifi button, launch the web browser, then when I'm finished, I close it and disconnect the wifi.

On the n8 and Vivaz opening the web browser automatically connects the wifi and closing the browser automatically disconnects the wifi after a minute or so.

I'd love to be able to do this on my DHD!! =)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrYuiM:
You can try Juice/Ultimate Defender, I think it has this functionality built in but you have to select which apps. So e.g you're out and about and have mobile data turned off, but then you open facebook Juice/Ultimate Defender will turn mobile data on based on your settings.

I remember on my Nokia that mobile data would turn on when I opened the browser, nowhere else and my wifi was always on so :/

But I guess Android is an OS which the internet is at its core.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjt:
I would use Tasker for this. Trickier to set up, but the flexibility is second to none.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Bombastic:
Thank you for the excellent app suggestions! Unfortunately Juice Defender seems to have striped this functionality from their latest free version. Alas, I'd hoped to give it a try. Tasker looks extremely comprehensive too, but I just can't justify such an expense for a single 'quality of life' function. =(

I rooted my LG recently to get rid of the crapware that was on by default. But, of course, it wasn't enough for me. I tried to flash a new ROM, and everything went to hell. Now the boot screen won't go past the LG logo. Does anyone know how to reset the device back to factory standard?

Hard reset doesn't work (home + volume down / up + power)

Windows/Linux doesn't see the plugged in device.

adb doesn't see the plugged in phone

I tried to put cyanogenmod on, which was probably a bad idea. I've heard that this problem may be irreperable, and I just want to see if there's any way to avoid having to try and deal with Verizon.

Before flashing (using rom manager), I made sure to choose the backup the current rom option. I've heard that I should be able to restore that backup, but there's no way to actually connect to the phone at the moment.

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: I've gained access to the SD card by plugging it into an external reader. I can see the recovery image that clockwork made. How can I get the phone to boot into it?

[Solved!]

I read a few posts mentioning that they were able to reset their phone using their ac adapter, but I hadn't any luck trying it that way, until a good friend of mine used some google-fu to determine that the order in which you do things matters! Here's the steps I had to take:

Remove battery from phone

Begin holding power, volume down and home

Plug phone into ac power WITHOUT LETTING GO OF BUTTONS (wasn't easy for me either)

Phone should boot into recovery (in my case the custom recovery)

You can let go of those buttons now

Install battery

Flash your phone and rejoice!

Lgtools

estoy en la misma situacion, yo cuento lgtools de Setool Box3, la cual soporta lectura y escritura de sistema de Lg vortex vs660, pero no logro que me lo detecte para cargar firmware completo, mi problema fue que flashe el recovery desde el ROM MANAGER y se queda en el logo.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pparcell:
I recovered my friend's phone using the following procedure

I just fixed a friends phone so I thought I would share in case it helps anyone. This is for the LG Vortex on Verizon. Might work for other carriers.

Download and install the Vortex drivers from LG's mobile support site www dot lg dot com/us/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp

Download and install the LG Mobile Update utility www dot lg dot com/us/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp

Run the LG Update app and make sure your phone is up to date. You can also try the Recover option if it can't update. This phone's firmware was up to date.

Install the Android SDK from google.

Access backdoor recovery through ADB

Plug phone in to laptop usb

Press and hold down the volume down key, the home key, and the power key at the same time. Keep them pressed until the screen goes black then you can release. If it goes in to some other visible recovery you can simply skip some of these steps

At this point your computer should start to recognize the phone and go through a series of driver installs

Once that is complete you should be able to go to the command line and enter the ADB shell

Follow the procedure at the following link to get the clockworkmod recovery installed

androidforums dot com/getitnowmarketing/330813-all-one-recovery-thread.html

Once you are able to boot in to clockwork, immediately do a backup. Then clear your data, cache and dalvik cache, then reboot. This won't always work, but many times it will allow you to boot a ROM that gets stuck booting (like this phone). If that doesn't work then just go back to recovery and utilize a manual ROM flashing procedure you can find on many forums.

This process worked great on this phone so hopefully someone else may have similar luck.

Sorry for cutting up the links, i'm new to the forum. Just replace the "dot"s with . obviously.

Vortex sux

Okay ... so my vortex is nothing more than a paper weight at the moment. When I turn it on, the LG screen comes on for 3 seconds, then the screen goes blank, then it starts over again. I can't turn it off after it starts its boot loop. I have tried using the recovery keys, and nothing. If I plug it into the computer it will turn on and do the loop over and over again, and i still cant power off. I have a 4gb micro with cwm recovery, but i do not know how to get this phone to boot into the cwm recovery. your help would be appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s3rvant:
Here's what worked for me

I was in a similar situation and was able to get to recovery by taking out the battery, holding down the buttons required to get into recovery and then while holding down the buttons, plugging the phone into the wall charger. Once it was in recovery I put the battery back in and flashed back to a known good rom. Not sure why this worked over just turning it on normally, but it's worth a shot.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] darthsyrma:
I just recently purchased a Samsung Captivate. It came loaded with Froyo (2.2) build number FROYO.UCKB1

I have been attempting to unlock it and failing. I am using Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit edition. I have downloaded and installed the drivers. I have been to settings>Applications>Development and checked the box for USB debugging. I have attempted to root the phone with Super One Click and AIO Captivate tool box. Neither or these programs appear to recognize the phone. AIO tells me the phone is not in debugging mode, when it is. I have spent some time here lurking and searching, and almost all of the material I can find on rooting this phone talked about rooting a phone running 2.1.

Was something changed with AT&T's release of 2.2? Is the problem I am having due to a 64 bit OS?

I have been searching and you tubing for the last few days, with no helpful hints/suggestions.

Thank you in advance for your time.

When it comes to odin i dont go poking around as im afraid something could happen and id have no idea what i just did lol.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipergtsr6:
I searched but came up with no results.

I just added an EVO to my family plan and my family member picked the white EVO with Hardware Version 4. I noticed that the camera makes a click sound when you open the stock camera app and when you close the stock camera app. I thought it was a defect so I had to fight with Sprint to exchange it.

Now she is on the 2nd white EVO with hardware version 4 and it also clicks. Has anyone else experienced this or do we have another defective phone on our hands? The only reason I ask is becasue I have 2 other EVO's on my family plan that do not make a sound when the app is opened or closed. This is not to be confused with the shutter sound either.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
There is no sound when opening or closing my camera app, but my EVO is hardware version 0003. I was able to make the camera click when opening and closing it by going to Menu-Settings-Sound and then selecting the "Audible Selection" (play sound when making screen selection). Yet, that same clicking sound, as indicated, is heard whenever I selected anything so I doubt you're hearing that sound when making other selections or you would have stated so. Is there a sound setting in the camera's menu setting that you can change? There isn't one with my version with the exception of silencing the shutter.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
004s have different camera hardware than other EVOs, so this is most likely the culprit. My 003 doesn't make any noise (however, I'm not running Sense, so different app). Does it sound like the shutter opening and closing, like when you take a photo? I'm talking about the actual sound, not the sound from the speakers. My Evo used to make that noise when turning the "flashlight" on or off. I haven't noticed it since I've been using AOSP Roms, but it was there when I was on stock.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipergtsr6:
It is clearly a different sound than the stock shutter sound. It may just be explained by the use of different hardware on version 4. The last thing I wanted was to have a defective phone outside of the 30 day return policy.

Can anyone with hardware version 4 confirm the clicking sound when opening the stock camera application?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
That click is normal for me. I've had it on HW 0002 and 0003. It happens on my other friend's Evo as well. Don't worry about it. It never caused any problems for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
That click is completely normal, all 6 of the evo's i've had do it when opening the camera app and closing it. Its just the sound of the lens opening up and closing. It does this so the lens doesnt get fried during the day if its in bright sunlight.
