[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj9067p:
Everytime I flash cm 7 I get to the screen where it says to touch the android to begin. Then it just keeps rebooting over and over. I then have to do a battery pull and restore back to cm6.

I have tried both RA and clockwork recovery. Did a full wipe everytime. Tried booting all of the versions of cm7. Any other ideas?

You have the right GApps? I've heard, if not, some have gotten boot loops.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/universal/ latest gapps

Do a full wipe: wipe factory/data, cache, dalvik.

Flash CM7 along with those gapps. You need to wipe the cache and dalvik before you flash the gapps; then reboot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beesneazy:
Not that I doubt the all knowing Roxxorz but is that usually suggested? Don't think I've ever wiped before flashing GApps in the same session .... ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj9067p:
Did what Roxxorz said and worked perfect. Don't know if wiping between did anything since I did it at the same time as flashing with the new gapps. Thanks guys.

Hello, This is a guide on how to install khalpowers V4 Rom for motorola XT720

1. The rom can be find here http://www.multiupload.com/OBEJWF9QF download and unrar, then download the patch here http://www.multiupload.com/ETK2TR4VG7 DO NOT UNZIP THIS! then you can download the radio patch http://www.multiupload.com/1CZ6BX1VFI

2.Now we going to root the xt720, download the .apk here http://www.mediafire.com/?q814b0pxrwy7n24 , install to the phone, then click on root, it should say woot, your root or something now your rooted.

3.Go here to download open recovery http://www.4shared.com/file/OZbPemP4/OpenRecovery.html install to your phone open it up, click on install recovery then click normal reboot.

4. this is not needed but you SHOULD if you have sense.open up open recovery (called system recovery in the drawer) then click on the recovery reboot. when the screen has loaded up go to nandroid then backup then click the top 5 (using the volume buttons to move and the camera button to select,) this should 5 mins to 10mins if not take out battery and try again.

5. when you have done that go to your sd card and copy and paste the personaRedV4 folder to the folder nandroid/openrecovery/paste here if you dont have that folder go to step 6 then step 7

6.when you have done this paste the metamorphframework file you downloading to openrecovery/update folder

7. Also i you should install this theme because the one which comes with the rom isn't great. download here http://www.multiupload.com/2ZJWXWUTGI then copy this to openrecovery/update folder.

8.if you didn't back up your rom then make a folder on your sd card called nandroid then create a folder called openrecovery in that folder. paste personaRedV4 folder into it

9. make a ext3 on your sd card look it up use google

10. now go to openrecovery and click on recovery boot, when it's loaded like before go to nandroid>restore>personaRedV4 then restore all whens it finished go back to the main menu then go to apply update then click on metamorphframework then go back to apply update menu and install the radio and galaxyxt like you did before.

11.when finished go to main menu click on clear davik cache/cache partion then wipe / factory reset then reboot

12. enjoy :) many thanks to khalpowers Dexter xavwanted's Mioze7Ae Fjfalcon

Thanks :)
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Nice list. One thing that sometimes trips people up when installing Open Recovery using Dexter's apk: you must have the SD card mounted on the phone when you install Open Recovery (i.e. USB Charge Only mode). The easy way to make sure this is true is to unplug USB. Otherwise "install recovery" will report "success", but Open Recovery won't actually be installed.

TL;DR: unplug the phone before you press the "install recovery" button in step 3.

Hello All,

I'm knew to Android but since I got my XT720 I have been looking for ways to make it better since it doesn't have a lot of internal memory. I would also like to share how I installed it GalaxyXTv4.

I basically followed this Video

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943368

I download it the Galaxy from using this link

http://www.multiupload.com/VAIZTZJWMM

Finally I downloaded the whole root and openrecovery using this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=946973

I also replace the content of the openrecovery folder with the extract of the GalxyXT, and the followed the Video.

The only difference is that I did reset everything cache, davlik, and factory defaults. When the phone rebooted, I was doing the initial setup and the phone rebooted itself twice, so I decided to remove the microSD card let the phone boot and then add the SD card back, I formated the card using the phone option and it has been working great (only a few hours since I installed the Galaxy).

The phone is performing better than when I was on 2.1 with apps2sd and definitely better than using 2.2.1 v4 BLUR make

I followed this guide and it worked, but when I powered off and powered on my phone just now.. it just stays at the white Motorola circle logo and then powers off. It's not bricked... is it?

[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
Ive modified the android_winusb.inf to show the correct device ID 0FCE for windows 7 x64 installed it and thats gone fine.

Now trying devices gives me nothing reboot-bootloader gives me <waiting for device> cant make a decent boot.img backup to inject Root, anyone got any ideas how we can connect fastboot, the bootloader is unlocked but unconfirmed.

Until we can get a decent boot.img we cant really start the development.

fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version connects and displays fine.
[Xperia Play General] johnsongrantr:
are you starting your phone in bootloader mode?

power off

hold <search> + plug into usb

I was able to issue fastboot commands from there such as fastboot reboot. If your bootloader is unlocked you should be able to use any of the below commands. You can also modify the boot.img from the recovery image from the bundled software. And boot to it on sd without writing to nand.

I've been pretty busy or else I'd try it myself, I just played with it enough to unlock my bootloader myself and that's where I stopped. If you need some help let me know.

usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>

commands:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
flashall 'flash boot' + 'flash system'
flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
erase <partition> erase a flash partition
getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable
boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel
flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] create bootimage and flash it
devices list all connected devices
reboot reboot device normally
reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader

options:
-w erase userdata and cache
-s <serial number> specify device serial number
-p <product> specify product name
-c <cmdline> override kernel commandline

EDIT: if you are having issues with "fastboot devices" and you are entering bootloader correctly, you may need to restart your workstation
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
Yeah done all that im sure the bootloader is now unlocked it erased the blocks and reset my phone, ill boot into ubuntu and try it from there. Windows wont let me issue any commands
[Xperia Play General] johnsongrantr:
I tried downloading the "repair" image and it sees that we modified the bootloader and won't download the image and the only files on SE website is for the update software not the image which I think is kinda bullsh*t but whatever.

so... if someone that *HAS NOT* unlocked the bootloader can download and mirror the file it downloads, should 100+ mb somewhere on your computer possibly in your %temp% directory if you are on a windows based workstation
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
I had the same problem cant restore major over sight by sony if our software breaks any time soon....

We need the unmodified boot.img only problem is i have another play ones got to go back that one is fresh in the packet but with the bootloader locked we cant issue commands with fast boot. catch 22
[Xperia Play General] johnsongrantr:
also the /proc/mtd for the boot partition is hidden in case anyone suggests we just pull for a backup.

Another reason I won't be doing much tinkering untill someone can provide us with a recovery image (note not just /system dump)

Unicorn, no.

MotoX fiasco, i have no clue as i dont troll on that forum. guess someone else will get this sometime and enlighten us all. i am not skilled enough to tear this thing down and disect it. Im surely not gonna install it and risk some bloatware and upgrade that cant be undone. time will tell

Probably right. I never have used it.

Is your phone mounted as a disk drive?
[Thunderbolt General] jett2314:
Yes it's not mounted as a disk drive, I'm home now and had time to search. Found this from user Modred on another site. " I had the same problem, here's what I found out: there's a work-around and there's a fix.

1) The work-around: Unmount your SD card, install the app, mount your SD card, move the app to the SD card. And yeah, that will get annoying pretty quickly.

2) The fix:

Now, this worked for me and I read it on the android market support forum, but there's no guarantee.

- connect your phone to your PC as a mass storage device (you cannot access the file we're looking for via a file manager within the phone, the OS keeps it hidden)

- backup important data

- find the folder named ".android_secure"

- there, delete the file called "smdl2tmp1.asec"

- disconnect your phone

If all went well, you should now be able to install apps again. Nothing bad happened to my phone by deleting this temp file, but please backup before you do this, just in case.

Hope this helped. "

I tried both and they worked.
[Thunderbolt General] PRKarl:
I wanted to confirm...

...this does fix the problem and causes no damage to the phone. I tried it and it worked like a charm.

Thanks for the tip!

I have having issues with the haptic feedback. It will work most of the time when I first unlock the phone, but it will randomly stop working as I am using it. An example is when I am typing a text message. the haptic feedback will work for the first couple of words and then it will just stop. Then all of the buttons on the bottom will not give haptic feedback also. Sometimes when I lock it and leave it alone for a minute it will work again. I do have it enabled in the settings. I have tasker installed and I thought that could have been messing up so I uninstalled it and it is doing the same thing. I even did a factory wipe and left everything uninstalled to make sure it wasnt any of my apps messing it up and it still did it. Is anyone else having issues? I am trying to see if there is something wrong and if i need to try and get it replaced. It is rooted and I have the telsa rom on it right now so I want to make sure I am the only one having issues before I unroot it and take it to Verizon. I have also tried it on different roms and kernels and it does the same thing. Thanks

the same exact thing happens to me. in the middle of texting, the haptic feedback will just shut off throughout the whole device, including the soft keys on the front on my thunderbolt. i've found the stopping if usually triggered by me typing too fast for the thunderbolt to handle. for instance i'll type 3-4 words it won't register, then all the haptic feedback with come at once in one super long vibrate, and then it just shuts off for good, until i put the device to sleep for 5-10 minutes. then repeat -__________-
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amphibliam:
I just got my Droid. It has not been activated, but thinks it is because my friend that I bought it from has switched to Sprint, and his billing cycle has not ended yet. I called verizon and they say I can activated the phone on Wednesday. Anyway, my phone is always roaming now. I know for sure I'm in Verizon territory, because my current phone, an ENV3 works fine and doesn't roam. Do you think that the kind of in limbo activation is causing it to roam constantly?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheez99:
Try dialing *228 and pressing 1 to see if it will activate the phone. If you get an error saying they are unable to activate, try redialing and pressing 2 to update the PRL. Something may have gotten messed up when they switched the accounts and this will update the phones preferred roaming list which may possibly resolve the issue, but not always. If neither of these fix the issue, just call Verizon and tell them the situation.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amphibliam:
I already talked to Verizon, as I said. They determined that since a billing cycle has not passed since he switched off of verizon, and his account will be cancelled on 4/20, freeing up the phone. It will no longer be attached to the account but no longer on a plan after that. I am only wondering if this state of being attached to the account but not a plan, so unactivatable could cause the phone to be always roaming. I am going to the mall where there is a Verizon store, and I will also ask them there.

Hello, I have been reading up on rooting my HTC Evo 4G and am about to pull the trigger.

Before I do though, I have a few questions.

First, which is a "better" ROM, Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo or VaelPak?

I notice these are the most common so a list of pros and cons of each would be nice.

Also, is unrevoked the best way to root my phone?

Thanks in advance.

Best advice I could say is run each rom you think you may like for a few days and decide :)
