[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
First, charge it powered off until FULL and seriously just leave it alone, let it recover - hopefully. I am pretty sure if you lost batt while flashing the bootloader, you are hosed forever. You could TRY booting into safe mode (hold menu press power) and then see if you can get recovery (hold home press power) or simply reboot after safe mode occurs (I think it's 5 vibrations). If none of that works, no adb, no RUU.exe, no HERCIMG.zip, no hboot, no fastboot commands = brick afiak :( I've never heard of jtag jrt, sorry.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NineInchNails:
Ya it does sound as if you sir are fubarred...

You were flashing bootloader and whatnot. Which in turn boots... so if it dies while trying to flash over it wont be recoverable.

Never.. and I mean never flash with a low battery.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalnirvana:
The bootloader had flashed OK. It was when flashing the ENG-SPL that the battery died. Had tried charging to full and tried volume up+power, volume down+power, home+power, menu+power, home+power, nothing happens.

JTAG is a hardware repair as I know but no idea who/where can do it. :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalnirvana:
I tried menu + power and the phone vibrated five times and the green LED blinks. The screen does not turn on. Had to do battery pull then tried power on but nothing happens.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonmaloney:
The ENG-SPL is the bootloader. The point of the ENG-SPL is that it overwrites your current bootloader with one that isn't locked down.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalnirvana:
The nand unlock bootloader had flashed ok and it became S-OFF from the earlier S-ON when I had checked on fastboot, after this I tried flashing the ENG SPL because I was looking to flash a custom splash screen and it required an ENG SPL to work. Right after I flashed the ENG SPL the issue described began. Tried the safe mode but nothing except the five vibrates and the screen is off.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
What zip did you try??? And what recovery are you using???

#Root/Hack_Mod-Always*
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalnirvana:
Here is the sequence of steps:

1. Bootloader was S-ON.

2. Flashed nand unlock file from Regaw's thread.

3. Bootloader became S-OFF. The SPL version (not sure of exact field but the one with numbers of format nnnn.nnnn.nn00?) remained unchanged.

4. Tried flashing a custom splash screen got ADB error remote not allow.

5. Read that for flashing custom splash screen there should be ENG-SPL (version numbers were given in a video on unlockr.com).

6. Tried to flash Darch's ENG-SPL. Got the icon of arrow out of box. Then the screen died. I presume the battery died but not sure.

Current status:

1. Power does nothing.

2. Power + volume down does nothing.

3. Power + volume up three vibrates (plus if phone is on charge then the LED turns off, battery pull and reconnecting to charger LED turns on though).

4. Power + menu five vibrates (plus green LED blinks)

5. Power + home does nothing.

6. Battery LED works i.e. remains red then changes to green.

7. Screen does not turn on.

8. RUU does not work as PC does not detect phone.

9. ADB devices does not detect the phone.

I was on NFX stock .7 ROM and Amon_Ra recovery.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpeeps74:
It would sound broken to me. The only thing I could really add is that the eng-spl is not needed for splash screens once you use regaws s-off. Many of us have flashed the eng-spl though on top of s-off so I'd think your battery died and the phone is done for.

~maybe I set it too high...

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bestcavsfan:
Just wondering if its taking awhile or people have stopped updating roms. like viperrom, midnight, redbeast etc..?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
First off developers do this as a hobby not a job. They don't get paid for it. Usually ROM updates follow stock updates such as to EC05 or adding voodoo sound and color. So if there is nothing new to add then what would you have them do?

If you have a specific request you can go to development of the ROM you have donated to and request that feature. The other option is to feel free to work on a ROM in your spare time.

Trying to be as nice as possible, you will get some nasty comments from some people.

Do you BONSAI?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bestcavsfan:
Ya i know all that, believe me its not my first time doing all this stuff. ha. I was just hoping to get some replies from the developers of the roms. But ya i probably should just contact the actual developers.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yes, I would PM the developers and see what's up. FYI Bonsai will be releasing a new beta in the coming weeks for donors to test and Rodderick told me he is releasing a new Genocide kernel in the coming weeks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austin420:
the first phrase highlighted and the second highlighted phrase directly contridict each other, and that is whats crappy about this community. it used to all be for fun. donation buttons should be banned.

and dont call me a non donator either. ive donated to bonsai lately (or tribal knowledge lmtd. as donators would know it) and many other devs in the past. it should NEVER be a requirement for service though.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
You are right, it is not a requirement for service, however it should never be requested for Devs to give up their life and time for free to make ROM hungry people happy. I gladly donate to the kernel and ROM devs whose product I find the best and feel no shame in pm'ing them about future products. If ROMs don't come out fast enough for some people they should learn to make their own ROMs. I see too many ungrateful people in these threads that ***** and whine but don't donate as if the DEVs are getting paid by XDA to develop ROMs and we as registered users somehow deserve them.

That's all I am saying. Don't want to turn this into some kind of service/donate debate.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:
with 2.3 looming, its doubtful any updates with be done. Besides; how much better can they get them??

I'm not sure but it could dependent on how GB roms communicate with the market account.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mile44:
resync apps to market

The phone forgets which apps you have downloaded from the market and doesn't update them anymore.

The best fix is to install/update the app from the market again (one by one!).

Some apps can help you: atrackdog (finds what has to be updated), titanium backup (has a market fix function, not available in the free version).

Hi all,

I've searched the internet for hours trying to find a solution to this problem but found only similar problems with icons disappearing, not whole apps, icons and all.

I got a new 32GB micro SD card moved all apps that could be moved to it. After reboot all links to those apps disappeared from home screen and from app drawer. Through application manager I was able to see the apps but when trying to move them back to the phone notification appeared that the application is missing.

Some moved applications will run before reboot, some won't but all will disappear after being moved to SD card and phone rebooted.

I tried resetting the phone and starting from scratch but the results were the same.

Does anyone have a work around or an idea?

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commodoor:
This happens because the apps that disappear are on MicroSD. When booting the phone the launcher starts before the SD card is scanned. so the launcher doesn't sees the apps and thinks they are missing.

So what you have to do is the following, force close the launcher. you can do the following:

settings>Applications>Manage applications>all>SE Home > and press "Force stop"

this will relaunch the SE home and all the apps will be back
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cech:
Thanks for a quick reply Comodoor but unfortunately restarting SE Home doesn't fix the issue for me. The apps are all gone. If I go back to application manager and have a look at apps installed on SD I can see an entry like: com.appspot.swisscodemonkey.appbrain taking up total of 32kb (which is kinda too little) and an option to move it to phone but then a notification: Failed to move application. The application does not exist.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commodoor:
Did you changed your SD card without copying everything? Because moving apps to SD card creates a folder where the apps are in. If you delete this folder all the apps will be gone.

In Linux and Mac don't see this folder because it's hidden for them. the folder is called ".android_secure" you have to copy this file to
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cech:
Thank you commodoor for your help, the mystery seems to be solved for now. I tried my old 8gb card and it seems to be working fine. Obviously the new 32gb card is faulty.

ICS403 app disappear after a reboot

Hello all,

I want to reopen a discussion that I consider that is not well concluded or solved, and I don’t see any opinions in XDA, for a problem that I think many people already had in the pass, but because we have handy backups, we restore the things and no need to waste time discussing it.

For some time that I have been reading the problem of apps disappearing, after moving to sdcard followed by a reboot, and the fault always go to the user (forgot to copy something) or to the external sdcard, like the case discussed here in the first posts.

I see here a talk between commodoor, cech and leolion38, blaming a faulty 32gb sdcard, but I don’t understand why the blame, because when we press button <move to sdcard> in application manager, it moves to the USB storage app and not to the external sdcard.

Now going to actual facts, and respective problem:

- My phone details are Galaxy Note with ICS 403 rooted with CF5.6+CWM;

- Everything stable working correctly, any kind of problem;

- I have an external sdcard, but I didn’t moved anything to the external sdcard;

- I moved applications to the sdcard (internal USB) using button <move to SD card> in application manager;

- After I can see that in line “USB storage app” the amount increased from 0 Bytes to whatever Bytes;

Now the conclusion and respective problem:

When I make a phone reboot, the app disappeared and a grey shortcut appears in the place of the previous app shortcut, and in application manager tab “All”, I can see several grey icons beginning with com.whatever, corresponding to the app that disappeared.

This already happened to me in GB236, but I also blamed a cheap copy 32GB sdcard that I had bought in the market. I was an android beginner user and I thought that when we move the app to the sdcard, we were moving to the external and not to the USB (the sdcard was good and I putted it in the garbage, problem of not trusting in hardware copies) .

Can someone help me discover what causes this problem and how to solve it?

Thank you in advance.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltinha:
Problem also happening moving applications using Titan Backup.

After restored the applications that were missing and before a reboot, I had to move applications again to the internal phone memory.

My opinion is that only the app installation is able to put/install itself in the sdcard, we cannot move it using application manager or other software, even if it says that app can be moved.

The final shot I gave was following the above idea of commodoor, making an FC to SE Home, because I didn’t find it, I made an FC to System UI, I think it’s the similar in ICS. Not worked and the grey icons continued there, I had to delete them.

One detail, if I press the grey icons android says that application is not installed in phone.

I think it’s needed some kind of app refresh in the system, because when I delete the grey icons, android asks me if I want to uninstall the application, of course I do that because if not, when I restore application that garbage continues there.

:confused:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltinha:
App disappear

​

I continued my study around my problem, and I read some more XDA threads and I could not find a reason for the disappearance of the applications.

I suggest to the administrators of XDA if possible, maybe an impossible huge work, to compile in only one place all the threads about this subject, with the most important opinions, and in a common place because it happens in several different equipment.

Well the problem now! After erasing USB and the problem continuing, I decided for the Wipe/Factory reset making fingers, because I have the emmc problematic chip.

My congratulations to chainfire and CF56 because everything erased, phone restarted like new with normal questions, and after even the SuperUser was maintained with root. No doubt chainfire knows about development.

The problem was solved with wipe, only one time I had to shutdown phone for the app grey icon appears correctly.

But now other doubts came to me:

- Moving apps to sdcard they are going to the internal or to the external sdcard?

- What are the uses of all the partitions we have?

- We have in Galaxy Note 16GB internal memory, how it’s splited?

- Why USB storage not mixed with the 2GB phone memory?

- What is that Misc inside USB storage, and why all remaining space its affected to?

If someone knows how to answer this doubts, please explain them to me.

Thanks.
