[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8igdave:
Ok now after formating it and putting the rom on it says "no files found" :/. Does it even matter if I use a differnt ssd to flash as to the one I wish to use long term? i was under the assumption it would install other things to the SSD but now I realise thats probably totaly wrong.

:EDIT:

Put the rom on my other ssd and now also says no files found. it appears the rom is causing the problems?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8igdave:
Put the rom on my goldcard ssd and now also says no files found. it appears the rom is causing the problems? It could read the zips on that ssd 10min ago
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unhallowedone:
If you did a full wipe you have to get it going again by flashing a new one ^^ So yes, go ahead with flashing. The Goldcard was especially necessary for the DHD to load the downgrade-zip, because when I did that originally it gave me an error (had wrong goldcard). Of course, I now have a working one, still using it.

You could try twice, like 1. reformat the sd you wish to use and put the ROM onto it or 2. use the other one to load the rom. Think about it, worst would be "yo man, wrong card" ;)

Edit: this is confusing, indeed. So you actually did a new format of the SD and tried to open it in CWM and it says NO FILES FOUND?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Just to confirm a few things.

DHD rooted, S-OFF , etc....

Full wipe

Removed SD

SD No longer recognised

Rock > YOU < Hard Place

My suggestion, would be to format the first SDcard in your pc, copy ROM to it, place in the phone, reboot recovery.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8igdave:
Well aparently neither of my SSD's work. Is it possible to boot into clockwork without going into the software? Ie can i get into clockwork straight from boot? Because I might need to restart clockwork to get this to work now.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8igdave:
Exactly, but tryed and the moment I put this rom on it apperas it cant read the ssd.

Its cyanogen 7.02 and google addon.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8igdave:
Ok then, my formated ssd (which is apparently empty according to clockwork) formatted and was empty on windows, put the roms on it. When i plug it back in to windows it has all my old **** back on which was several gig so there is no way I accidently copyed that over with the roms and didn't notice.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
You can boot directly to the bootloader by holding volume down then pressing power.

Did you download the ROM from ROM Manager or direct from here/cyanogen

EDIT: What version of clockwork you using?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unhallowedone:
Sure, Power off the DHD then hold Volume DOWN and press POWER. It then boots into Recovery.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1234568:
I dont think you will have bricked it. As far as I know you cant brick a phone by flashing a rom. Bricking is as a result of radio installation gone wrong. If your SD card is being recognised, just wipe it and put in in empty. Then install the desired rom using ADB shell on your PC. About charging in recovery I think it will work. If not just turn the phone off and plug it into USB.

EDIT. This is sounding above my level of understanding now. Ignore my advice. I was assuming clockwork is behaving itself
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8igdave:
Downloaded from CM7 them selves, ah ok I will reboot. Yup now neither of my ssd's have data on them apparently.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8igdave:
Rebooted recovery and now not working. I click to use an option and it just goes straight back to the top of the list, even reboot option.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unhallowedone:
Or by using CWM 3.0.2.5 to format the SD as I did 6 days ago - have a new DHD now ;)

I would suggest power charge instead of USB, because the real charger loads your phone faster due to lower power values over USB. Afaik.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
OK, worst case scenario here is having to flash a 1.32 RUU and rooting, ENG S-OFF-ing again. I don't think your at that stage yet. Did you Radio S-OFF before this?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8igdave:
The light on the dhd only comes on when the phone is turned off and charging for me atm.

Ok then how do I use ADB, i was getting real confused by that earlyer today.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8igdave:
OMGGGG I just restarted recovery for the 5th time and it's reading my ssd card!

YES!

:EDIT:

nvm got the right rom.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unhallowedone:
Without any changes? Magic time? ;)

Edit: considered blowing the sd slot clean and carefully look for dirt on the card or in the slot? Maybe there was a contact fault?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8igdave:
All sorted, thankyou very much guys. I would thank you more but I've maxed out haha.

I don't like the new sign in screen much haha :P That shall all be skined in no time I'm sure ;)

Can I downgrade this in order to get it rooted and If I can, could you please give me directions how to achieve that.

Thanks in advance
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f0xy:
You need to flash a recovery(search the development thread for clockworkmod recovery)

Flash this recovery via fastboot(search the whole forum for a guide)

And then flash a ROM(or other things) of your choice via the recovery menu.

Hope this helps
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EchoVelocity:
Personally, I downgraded by flashing a stock 2.1 RUU, then used unrevoked 3.2 to root it and install clockworkmod.

Then just flashed a cyanogen nightly (#57). Although you can choose whatever rom you want.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teo.boev:
I have tried with unrevoked 3 to root the phone, but at some point i got the following message:

Validation error: Backup CID is missing

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
once S-OFF, downgrading and then rooting is a lengthier process. As already stated in the post #2, after S-OFF just flash a recovery from the fast boot menu and thats all ur phone is rooted.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Yes, only known way till now.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lumina_1:
And where I get the XTC-clip?

My HBOOT 1.01.0002 with S-ON, I just want rooted my device...
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skye Menjou:
Buy it.

Also learn to search.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clon12:
Alright. I think I'm gonna get my device S-OFF soon...

So all I have to do is

1. Flash to 2.1 RUU

2. Flash a recovery via fastboot

3. Flash a new ROM

That is all right?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
If you are going for Step 2, there is no need for Step 1. Just flash a recovery via Fastboot, and you are good to go with Custom ROMs, even on the updated HBoot.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almightybunghole:
I've been reading alot about this but I don't geddit. Everyone says that with hboot 1.01.0002 you can't get s-off without using the xtc clip. Are you saying you just downgraded to Android 2.1 then flashed a custom ROM :confused:
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
What you have heard is false. HBoot 1.01x requires XTC Clip to get S-OFF, and, only then can it be downgraded and rooted.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zavel:
Rooted ROM

If i used XTC clip to S-OFF a wildfire, is it then possible to restore a rooted ROM? Or do i need to root the phone, then when i load any ROM it is rooted, because root is at a lower level?

Is root access something which is stored in the operating system or some lower level?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErwinP:
Root is given by the app called Superuser. Just as in linux, every program that wants to do something that needs root rights, has to ask for it. In android that permission is "tunneld" by the superuser, which asks you if you want to grant an app root access, and then gives it to that app with your permission. But of course, the only way that superuser can grant root access, is when it is propperly installed, and has some files in the /system folder. Which is not possible without root permissions :-)

So: if you are s-off, you can flash a recovery image trough fastboot (working with unrevoked gives you the custom recovery right away) by the adb command "flastboot flash recovery " (google for "cyanogenmod wiki flastboot" if you are planning it, it is really nice explaned). Trough that recovery you can apply some kind of an "update.zip", which installes the right superuserfiles on your system anx changes nothing else. Notice me if you want those files, I know where to find them here on xda.

From that moment on, when an app asks for root permission, you get a popup from the superuser app to ask if you really want to grant that app such permissions or not: if yes, the app has root access now!

This is all based on my experience with the stock ROM, don't know how the process works in CM or wildpuzzle.

Erwin

Edit: and if you want to delete or modify rom specific things (like htc stock app), you can connect your phone to your computer, mount your system as read/write by the command "adb remount" and then delete it trough adb commands. No need to go trough recovery for this.

Perhaps the same is possible if you have a file manager that can handle rooted phones, but not sure about that.

[EVO 4G General] AbsolutZeroGI:
It has something to do with the market's auto updater. If you go to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=900584&highlight=cyan+dragon

I'm running CM7 on my NC. Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop. I cannot get my NC to show up under Computer Management->Devices as anything but B&N Ebook USB Disk (it shows two entries). When I uninstall these entries, disconnect the NC, reconnect the NC, my laptop will recognize the NC as the B&N Ebook USB Disk and I can't override or stop it from automatically installing it as such. I also don't seem to be able to "Upgrade Driver" for either the B&N Ebook USB Disk entry nor the USB Mass Storage Device. Windows reports that it's determined the best driver is installed.

What I've done:

-Installed the Android USB drivers.

-Tried uninstalling the USB Mass Storage Device entry for the NC.

-Tried rebooting both computer and NC and then reconnect.

Is there anyway to stop Windows 7 from automatically installing the driver? When it's doing this, there isn't a stop or cancel button in the dialog. Is there anyway to get my NC to be recognized as an Android Composite ADB Interface? My NC isn't showing up under any kind of Android Phone entry either (there isn't an entry for Android Phone either).

thanks for your help. I writing this from Helmand Province Afghanistan tonight.

I can not get RSD to work on ANY of my machines.....

I have tried on Win7 (32 and 64 Bit) and Windows XP. The only way I have been able to flash is through Ubuntu.

The issue is that now I want to update the radio and that does not work the ubuntu way.

Just wondering if it is me only or if others have the same issue.

I believe I have the correct drivers installed and am running RSD 5.0 but nothing. RSD Recognizes the phone, but when it tries to transfer the files it fails!

NOW, my phone seems to be bricked as it started to transfer the files (Once) and then failed. Now states that there is no radio.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!:confused:
[Atrix 4G General] jysue:
I did a fair amount of mucking about to get it to recognize files, and it sounds crazy but here is how I had most of my success -

...rename the file to have a space in the name... I can't think of any logical reason why this would make it work better but everytime I put my files in base of C:\ as suggested by most people I got about 30% success rate

but If i made sure I had full access to all users on the file, and it was called say 'update 1.sbf' I could ALWAYS apply it.
[Atrix 4G General] wirednix:
Try a different version of RSD. Google your problem/error message. It's a common error.
[Atrix 4G General] knlgSeeker:
your problem (at least in win 7) might be caused by UAC.. try navigating to the installation folder ex: c:\program files\motorola\rsd lite\.. right-click on the executable file (SDL.exe), click run as administrator, then try to flash
[Atrix 4G General] stl-soldier:
I have been using Win7 x64 on two different PCs, and flashed dozens of times with no issues. Have you tried a different cable or USB port? You can check in device manager to see if you have a missing or bad driver, but it sounds like something else. Try reinstalling RSD or using a different version.
[Atrix 4G General] kakwvu:
I found my problem being RSD wouldn't read from a directory with a space in it (users/first last). I moved the files to c:\ and it worked fine.
[Atrix 4G General] thezoolander:
I'm using 4.9 and my issue is getting it to recognize my phone. I've tried so many different things and nothing seems to be working.
[Atrix 4G General] maledyris:
I was also trying to flash the radio.

I had problems with Vista 64. RSD Lite 5.0 wouldn't even detect the sbf, let alone the phone. I tried running it elevated, in compatibility mode, and using dozens of other suggestions (including everything already mentioned in this thread). Simply wouldn't work.

Then I tried it with Windows 7 32-bit, after installing MotoHelper and it seemed to work fine.

What usb setting did you leave your phone on? For me, Windows Media Sync worked well, and it detected the phone right away and had no problems with the radio sbf. I actually went to each usb setting and let it install drivers for all of them just in case, but left it at Windows Media Sync.
[Atrix 4G General] stl-soldier:
I think you have to use version 5 and later for it to work.
[Atrix 4G General] knlgSeeker:
I did the same when I first hooked up my phone.. Let it install all the drivers by switching usb modes. Only difference is I flashed in motorola phone portal mode. Sometimes I have to un-check debugging mode then select it again for RSD to recognize it.

Just out of curiosity.. Has anyone got this to work in linux from a virtual windows machine?
[Atrix 4G General] thezoolander:
Okay I'm using 5.0 now, I have all my drivers updated, I've done everything I can think of and It doesn't even recognize a device.
[Atrix 4G General] knlgSeeker:
That sucks man! Sounds like a windows problem.. Is this a laptop or desktop? If it's a desktop, use the usb ports ob the back.. Otherwise, my only suggestion is to completely uninstall anything motorola related, download & run ccleaner to get rid of any leftover files, then try again. If that doesn't work, try a different pc or maybe consider re-formatting. You will not have these issues with a fresh install of windows
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
You're probably gonna have to try it on a buddy's XP box. (By far I've seen better results overall on XP)

Unfortunately RSD Lite is just as "Diva-like" as Samsung Kies.

Sometimes it has a conflict with a firewall, and other times it has a conflict for no reason at all... :(

When I first received my GTab with the stock ROM the camera quality was pretty good and clear. When I switched to gingerbread the camera quality deteriorated and is really pixilated and just bad. There is no feature to refine the photo quality from low to medium to fine etc that you see on other tab cameras. I had a really cheap tab from China running on 2.1 that had better camera quality. I read somewhere that the issue may be that there are no drivers in Gingerbread for the Gtab camera. Is this true and is there a way to get back to the original stock camera quality that came with the Gtab out of the box? Thanks, I am new to this, tried to read a lot but can find no clear answer to this issue.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
All of the Gingerbread roms suffer from poor camera capture, it's a known software problem, it should be resolved (according to a few developers who have posted) in not to far off revisions/releases.

If you want fully functional video acceleration and camera, stick to any of the Froyo (non-gingerbread) roms that are more closely based off the stock ROM, while waiting for the gingerbread rom kinks to get worked out.

I am not sure where to find a developer for an app. I do not want to start harassing random people. I am looking for someone to develop an Android app that would give people access to docs that I have created and docs that I have the rights too. It would sort of be like a dropbox type app with the option to email, send to dropbox, download to phone etc.

I have looked into writing it myself, but I am in grad school and do not have the time. I am not going to into programming either, so it is not practical for me. I am looking to pay for the app.

I understand that everyone has a "great app" idea. That is why I am willing to pay so there is no loss for the developer. If it is a bust, it is my problem.

I am not sure how it would work, who services app after on market. Do I need to buy a server or do I upload my info somewhere? Any feedback would be appreciated.
