Hi Guys

I purchased HTC 7 Pro 8 GB

Accidentally, I upgraded to NoDo version and now I cannot unlock with ChevronWP7 and manual unlock works only for LG as I understand.

So

Is any way to go back and downgrade?

Thanks in advance
[HTC 7 Pro] blindpet:
When this happened to me I was able to use Zune to restore my backup and then I installed chevron, unlocked and installed the provvml hack for htcs and then updated again via Zune. Now it is unlocked with NoDo :).

Ok so my Nexus One got a few Dings and scratches nothing critical or crazy. but I'm really picky about my phones looking New so I invested on buying a N1 housing on ebay and I wanted to know any pointers from people that done this before. I do have some experience on changing housings but where I'm hesitant about taking apart the digitizer since its glued I believe to the middle part and people are just putting double sided tape to hold the thing together which in my opinion it doesn't last. So maybe you guys got better pointer than people I see on youtube and other blogs. Thanks
[Nexus One General] Dirk:
How would you source a new housing without spending at least $200, if you don't mind me asking?
[Nexus One General] josemedina1983:
I got my housing on ebay for 45.00 for battery door bottom part and the middle housing. Now if i brake anything inside it will cost me alot more than 200.00.
[Nexus One General] paperecho:
If you are just replacing the housing you do not have to do anything about the digitizer/lcd. You just pull it out of the old and put it in the new. I did this recently with my N1 and am very happy with my shiney new looking phone. There are plenty of videos on youtube to step you through the process just be patient and careful. The hardest part for me was the connectors for the docks in the bottom back plate.

[Nexus One General] josemedina1983:
You made my day! I was having a hard time finding a video to confirm that. most people replace the broken digitizer or they just disassemble the phone without taking the digitizer off. Now I'm just waiting for my housing to arrive from China.
[Nexus One General] disgustip8ted:
the bottom cover part(not the battery door) was a little easier to take off than i expected but it was tough though. I used a pry tool like this http://www.accessorygeeks.com/pry-tool-plastic-case-bu.html

Highly suggest picking one up.

For the bottom piece across the top part there are three little tabs that you pop up then in think two little ones you have to work downward on the sides then it will slide off.

replacing the aluminum unibody part does require a full disassembly.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmguru:
Hey there, Archos users.

There is an issue i have with my Archos 101 since I have upgraded to 2.3.20 (I have the same on 2.3.26) with internal memory and SD card.

Here is what I have:

After i boot the device, within some time (from 1 minute up to 30 minutes) the SD icon appears on the top saying "SD card safe to remove: You can safely remove SD card". When I am trying to access the file system from "Files" app - i can see no files even on my internal memory and a message: You can not use the internal storage while it's connected and mounted to the USB..

At the same time all files on internal memory and SD can be fully (RW) accessed via alternative file managers (ASTRO etc.).

As I have no posibility to downgrade to older firmware - I have installed Uruk 0.7. I was playing with it for about 30 minutes - no problems.

Did anyone faced the same issues? I am in Ukraine so have no local Archos support so dramaticaly need your help.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmguru:
Just tried chulri's method of rooting - same problem.

As I understand, this method uses the installed firmware as a basis and puts root in it.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmguru:
Will do now, but how come Uruk is working fine? Does it allocate some dedicated part of internal storage?

UPD: Well, it did not help. I did the disk check twice and got the same problem right after i boot up.

Anyone? Really need you help people.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spicy_puerto_rican:
Sounds like you are having the same exact problem I was having a few weeks ago and am having again now. The only solution I found that seems to work 100% is a full system wipe unfortunately. Meaning... wipe the entire Archos drive clean AND remove SDE as well as Android (if you happen to have Android), then reinstall Android first, then reinstall the 2.3.20 SDE as well, then reflash your 2.3.20 firmware again and rebooting after each step. Doing so solves the problem BUT I have no idea why it keeps happening to me still? In addition to having the same message as you... I then try to connect my A101IT to my laptop via the micro USB cable it reads "USB Operation Failed, There is a problem using your device's memory for USB storage. Only problem is that I never uninstalled or touched anything in the A101IT's system folders that I wasn't supposed to even though I have Chulri's Permanent Root Access via Firmware 2.3.20. So any help with the BOTH of these messages would be much appreciated too. By the way, like (gsmguru) I still have the problem when I go to my Recovery Menu and click on Check Disc.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lagoskon:
I think i have the solution for this problem . Please try and post your results.

I suspect it has something related with latest fw's and wifi "Network share" .

When i deleted my home network and connected again BUT NOW checking the "disable network share" option the problem stopped for me the last 3 days.

Post your results so we can inform Archos about this bug.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spicy_puerto_rican:
You sir, are a genius!! Disabling Network Share in my personal Wifi Settings solved it in 2 seconds! Thanks!

4. Connect to.... Disabling Network Share

5. Reboot...

6. Where is that "Thank you" button?

[Galaxy 3 General] CompufixUK:
Hi Guys,

Ive searched the forum, to no avail...

I would like to flash my Apollo with FroYo, but for safety's sake im trying to find a copy of my original firmware so I can flash it back and use KIES if needed.

If I type in *#1234# I get:

PDA I5800XXJG7

Phone I5800XXJG3

CSC I5800XXJG5

Does any kind person have the relevant files handy for upload please?

Also, If I flash a new firmware should they all match the original (ie the I5800XX part).

Thanks for your help
[Galaxy 3 General] ka'cipeder:
I posted the same question a week ago. I didn't get a straight answer. I had the same firmware before i flashed to XXJPM. Your firmware is XXJG7, but I didn't find it on samfirmware. I found XWJG7, but I think that is not the same, because there is xxjpf and xwjpf - the first one being older. To update via kies when the official update comes u need an official firmware, XXJG7 is official since u got it with your phone, but u cant find it, can you? So you need any official firmware, but i don't know witch are official except XXJG7... Anyway don't bother with this, you can flash froyo without backup, i did it and nothing went wrong but be cautius and folow the steps closly and when the official update comes it will be avaliable to flash via odin. until then flash any non official froyo

I see the numbers are slightly different, does it matter?

I have also read that flashing the bootloader can cause hard-brick issues, is it better not to flash the bootloader?
[Galaxy 3 General] hoggy84:
i did not flash the bootloader just to be on the safe side, not sure what the cl447760 & cl460190 mean all i tell you is kies see's this as the latest firmware for my phone the uk .

i got the phone three weeks aga at the carphone warehouse it is unbranded and unlocked
[Galaxy 3 General] CompufixUK:
Thanks again for your help. I have now upgraded mine to the standard XXJPM FroYo with ODIN. Just out of interest, is there a way I could have got the old firmware off my phone into files like you uploaded?

i think you can dd them to the sd card but not sure how to do it , i googled for ages to find my that firmware on some random site because i did not like froyo after i flashed it

ive gone back to 2.1 until i can find a fix for icons not staying on the home screen from apps installed on the sd card after a reboot. other than that i was pleased with it.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldfield16:
I'm currently running Bionix 1.3.1 on my T959, and while I really like it, I've been searching for a stable gingerbread ROM, and was wondering if it'd be worth the time to switch to, say, the i9000 port posted by haydn pryde:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044076

Been curious, wondering what people's experiences have been with gingerbread roms.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
If you do not need GPS and you can charge your battery often, CM7 and MIUI are great. I ran CM7 for about 2 weeks and never had an issue with apps/phone.

CM7 brings a TON of options with it, is super fast and very easily themed/customized. Again though, no gps/poor battery.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyCharlie:
I agree. Cyanogen is awesome and as far as I can tell pretty stable. If the GPS worked it would be totally complete IMHO.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldfield16:
any experience with hayn pryde's rom by comparison?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoolstal:
MIUI is very nice
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldfield16:
So cyanogen is basically the consensus number 1 gingerbread rom?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
^ for about 30+ phones.

MIUI is also nice, depends on the look you want. CM7 is just what Android should be. MIUI is like an iPhone to me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldfield16:
Id sooner go with cyanogen since i liked it a lot when i had a mytouch. But the hayn pride rom intrigues me simply because it at least has gps (even though its not an exact lock), and has themes you can install as well.

It also says you might get unreliable data with cyanogen, anyone have major issues with this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
^ not trying to sway, but wanted to make sure you know CM7 has a built in theme chooser *thanks to T-Mobile and them being amazing*
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldfield16:
So definitely worth the upgrade then? Would hate to lose GPS, but I have always liked cyanogen, and definitely want to get gingerbread running on my vibrant, so I'm still interested, just the gps and inconsistent data problems are making me hesitate a little.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
^ it's fun.. it's a process to get there... lots of fun to play with the options once you have it... eventually you may miss things and come back (gps, the dialer not being a smart dialer, battery, etc)...

just depends on how much you want to play with your phone man.

I had a working Transformer until earlier today when the OTA update came along. Having accepted installation, my device now gets to the Eee Pad / ASUS logo and hangs there (waited for about 45 minutes after the update). Trying to reboot into recovery gives:

Android WW_epad-user bootloader < e> released by "WW_epad-8.2.3.6-20110414".

Checking for android ota recovery

Booting recovery kernel image

It does not give me the Up to recovery, Down to wipe option.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morak:
No, full. And connected to the mains.

I cant get any option to do a full wipe, it never asks me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobcatuk:
There are some things you can try in this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1032374

Here a few key combinations for anyone interested:

VOL_DOWN + POWER (continue holding VOL_DOWN when it starts booting until you get a prompt) = Bootloader which offers two prompted options: (1) Recovery if you press VOL_UP within 5 seconds or (2) Data wipe if you press VOL_UP later. None of these seem to offer any USB devices like fastboot etc.

VOL_UP + POWER or VOL_DOWN + VOL_UP + PLUG IN USB = NVFlash mode. It clearly is the NVFlash APX device that we see appearing, but it barfs as soon as we run any sort of nvflash on it (Many Windows and Linux versions have been tried). Please note that in this mode the screen stays completely blank and the only way to get out of it is the following option:

Hold POWER for ~10s = Forced power off. This always helps if you are stuck in some weird mode and nothing on the screen

Dont know if any of these key presses will work on yours, worth a try to get it to recover ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morak:
Yeah I had seen that thread. Unfortunately no joy from either option. I dont get the prompt when I do VOL DOWN+POWER, just seems to go straight into recovery. And as the post says, NVflash doesn't help at the moment.

Can't even seem to get the ADB USB devices to show up, I can only get the APX device which seems to be fairly useless ATM. Looks like I may have to RMA the thing.

Have you tried getting into the Clockwork mod recovery? You need to place it on an external microsd and when you do the holding down when switching on thing, it goes into the recovery on the card instead of the stock one. It might allow you to flash a rom to get it running again.
