[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtekbillabong:
I was trying to install the Voodoo kernel. I had the stock+froyo one installed just fine using Odin3. Then I went to their main page, and saw the 5.5 version. Titled Voodoo lagfix for Froyo stable. I used Odin to install it from the Download Mode. everything went fine till the voice said something about not enough space on the partition.

Then the T-Mobile pink screen appears, then the Samsung Vibrant S screen, then it goes black. Nothing happens after that except the bottom lights come on if I touch them. Odin3 still sees my phone as plugged in. I have a really hard time trying to get into the Recovery screen, but when I do, I have no idea what to do once I'm there.

I've tried using Odin3+Download Mode to reinstall the stock+voodoo-froyo-t959-UVKA6.tar which worked fine the first time, but I can never get back to the main home screen.

Any advice would be much appreciated, I'll be online for the next few hours refreshing this page, so my responses should be fairly quick. Thank you in advance.

Update: I tried searching for solutions, came across a post on the samsungvibrantforum. c o m. It had instructions on how to reset the phone using Odin with the .pit file and T959UVJFD.tar

I followed the instructions, everything worked as intended, until after the S screen, I just got a black screen. Never went to the home screen. This where I am currently at.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtekbillabong:
Yes I have tried both.

Both methods, pass in Odin3, but when the phone reboots, it always says in the list of actions, Wipe Data failed.

Both methods take me to a black screen after the S screen, and nothing happens.

Download Mode works. Recovery is 2E. Only 4 options though. reboot system now, reinstall packages, delete all user data, delete cache data.

[G Tablet General] Logseman:
Hello there,

I am a user of another Harmony tablet, the Advent Vega. As I suspected, ViewSonic has adopted the same stance as other Harmony tablet sellers: simce nVidia has no longer the initiative of providing new drivers, all development for our purchased tabs comes to a halt. The small vendors (Advent, POV, ViewSonic) have no own means of providing further ROMs and support, while the bigger brands (Toshiba) which could actually do something of the sort, are already bringing new tablets to the market and forsaking the old models.

Nevertheless, I know, as you all do, that the Harmony tablets CAN run Honeycomb. They have good enough specs to run it, and the main reason why they don't do it now is because of absurd market cycles.

Therefore, my idea is to have all Harmony chipset users unite for a big bounty seeking a team of developers who can create drivers for nvidia Harmony devices on Honeycomb. As it is a cross-device matter, we could even call attention to this iasue and publish this bounty on the XDA homepage. We know already that no commercial house will bring about any new ROM with said drivers. And I think I'm not alone if I say that I don't want my device to be forsaken after just 7 months in the market.

I think we need something like this if we don't want our tabs to turn into obsolete junk, which is what the big companies would like to make us think they are. The XDA community has injected a new breath of life into many devices long forgotten by their makers. I hope this macro-bounty idea can do the same for ours.

What are your thoughts on this?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrain5:
Hey, after reading allot about the benefits I gaining root access to a phone I have decided to root my HTC Desire. At the moment I just want to gain root acess so I can install root apps and remove Telstra's bloatware, but I may consider putting Cyanogen's rom on in the future. I am going to use the guide on the cyanogen mod wiki site for desire GSM (Australia)

It basically involves backing up phone, installing hboot drivers, installing unrevoked, rooting with unrevoked 3, then flashing radio.

Now just a few questions -

1) It the Cyanogen mod guide a good one? Can anyone recommend any others?

2) I have noticed that some guides say to partition your external SD card for app data. Is this necessary?

3) What are gold cards and how does this apply to rooting my phone?

3) If I choose to use Cyanogen mod, is there a way to get the HTC weather/time widget and the dialer on my phone? Can anyone recommend something similar/better?

4) I notice that flashing radios is a separate part that can improve the performance of your phone. I have also heard it is more risky then rooting or flashing roms. Is it necessary and as a side note, does Telstra update your phone's radio when they release an over the air update?

5) After reading through some of the other post I have gathered a list of exceptional root apps. Can anyone recommend any more?

Titanium Backup

Wireless Tether

Quick Boot

Spare Parts

ES File Explorer

Battery Status Pro

Terminal Emulator

MetaMorph

TypeFresh

ROM Manager

Adfree

CacheMate

6) Finally, any other tips when/after I root my phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] latawa:
That's hell lot of questions u got before rooting...

But the point is.. ALL repeat ALL your queries are answered in the forums. U just gotta search and read!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corine:
1) I used 'Unrevoked' and that was a very easy way to root for me.

2) I have noticed that some guides say to partition your external SD card for app data. Is this necessary?

For some custom ROMS it is necessary. You will have a lot more memory when you partition your SD card and use something like app2sd / data2sd.

3) What are gold cards and how does this apply to rooting my phone?

Goldcards are used when rooting a phone with a simlock / provider branded phones. If your phone is not rooted / provider branded, you don't need a goldcard.

3) If I choose to use Cyanogen mod, is there a way to get the HTC weather/time widget and the dialer on my phone? Can anyone recommend something similar/better?

I'm not sure, but Beautiful Widgets is a very good replacement!

4) I notice that flashing radios is a separate part that can improve the performance of your phone. I have also heard it is more risky then rooting or flashing roms. Is it necessary and as a side note, does Telstra update your phone's radio when they release an over the air update?

I am from the Netherlands, is Telstra a provider? My radio was never updated over the air using a custom ROM. I updated the radio several times and nothing went wrong.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landara:
I'm just being honest here, I have always read that TouchWiz is the worst thing you can do to your poor android. I have seen countless posts here hating on TW. Never tried it myself, but given it's reputation of being pure **** I can't imagine too many people would swap a Sense Rom(which seems to have a rep as being the only OEM mod of Android worth using) for a TouchWiz one(which most people here seem to hate). Just saying. :)

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonintendo:
1. Is the gunmetal/chrome/shiny band around the device metal? It looks like the plastic on my galaxy s in the pictures, but a bunch of reviewers have said that it's metal.

2. How do you guys like windows phone 7?

3. Is there any compelling reason not to buy the phone? (I can't think of any new wp7 phones coming out on tmobile)

Thank you for answering!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
My first suggestion is to make sure if any the feature currently missing from WP& matter to you such as the MMS Video feature. IMHO, WP7 is the best cell OS I've used. It's very fast & does what it can do very well. GPS is much faster than it was on my old TP2. Been a while since I played with Android to compare the GPS on it. What I mean is it locates you very fast. On my TP2, it'd take a few mins just to find a satellite. Keep in mind in order to get GPS, I had to unlock my device & load a patched Navigon Select XAP & load my maps for the USA. As for the hardware, it is very nice IMO. The only metal on it though is the kick stand & a small piece on the back below the battery door.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonintendo:
I plan on keeping my galaxy s until I've made a decision. I can sell one or the other. (My friend offered me his HD7 for $200 which seems like a good price judging by what I'm seeing on ebay and craigslist)

From what I can tell, it has everything that I need.

Another question that I'd like to add is how is wifi support on the os? I currently have no data plan and run only on wifi. This has worked well for me as my school has free wifi in most places.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
WiFi works great for me & doesn't seem to effect battery life as badly as it did on my old TP2. I keep it on WiFi when ever I'm at home.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonintendo:
Thanks! 10char
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
WP7 is very solid, but it's not as developed as Android. As the above post suggests, you should review the feature-set and make sure there aren't any critical absences.

I don't quite agree on the build quality. Having used an iPhone 3G, a Nexus One, and an HD2, the HD7 falls short IMO. It has an attractive design, no doubt, but the materials/execution feel somewhat cheap in comparison. My HD7 for example has a rattly battery door and originally had terrible buttons. HTC fixed the camera button, but the other three are a bit squishy feeling. If you buy the phone, make sure you check the buttons!

$200 is a pretty solid price IMO. I bought one with the button quality problems (mint otherwise) for $250, and I thought that was a really good price.

Having said all that, I'm not sure if it's your best bet with regard to the Wifi. As far as I know (and I could be TOTALLY wrong), the Wifi shuts off when the screen turns off, and there is no way to change this behavior. Don't think you'll get notifications with no data plan. I recently switched from a Vibrant (and I also don't have a data plan), and it was/is somewhat of a problem. Again though, there might be a way to control the Wifi standby.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonintendo:
Thanks! I don't mind the wifi thing, that's how I have my vibrant set up (it drains the battery otherwise)

i've had 6 android devices in the past and i traded my android for the HD7 and i am very pleased with that decision.

Wp7 is so fast and smooth! its just beautiful and i love the metro ui. my mom has the galaxy s 4g and android just feels so stale and dated compared to how beautiful and smooth wp7 is. yea its not as developed but the things this phone does is genius! people, photos, music & video hubs are all genius and has nice things that i would truly miss if i ever switched to another OS. you find lil things that you think are genius lol. like for me ima HUGE picture freak and the fact i can go directly into picture taking while the screen is off is genius for me plus the camera software is the easiest i have used plus its fast.

wp7 is the most original os and i love it! i dont have to worry about force closes or downloaded utilities too keep my phone running at peak performance. the type of apps i dowloaded on android are completely different now. i download fun stuff and not utilities. i was a power user with android flashing the latest roms and re setting up my phone every week or so and now i dont have to worry about that.

your gmail account syncs flawless with wp7 as if its a android phone lol, and im talking contacts, calender, and email and top it all off its push email!

the data on the works fast. i had the g2 and mytouch 4g but things seem to load faster on the HD7.

i really like the OS an im very satisfied with it! i cant wait to see whats in store for the future on the OS. people truly dont give it enough credit
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polynesianroots:
I recently installed the SpeedMod for the Samsung Captivate. I went by the step-by-step instructions it gave me, downloaded Odin, and download the TAR file that contained the SpeedMod. I installed it and my phone successfully rebooted. The start-up screen was different but otherwise everything seemed faster when booting up. I went to double check to see if it really installed but under the kernel version it still said 2.6.32.9 . Is it suppose to say something about the SpeedMod? It said it would on the step-by-step instructions.

I also installed Voodoo for the sound problem before I flashed this kernel. Before it said I do not have the right kernel. After installation it has let me choose various options which leads me to think that the SpeedMod is installed. But it still does not say it under kernel version.

I am new to this and still do not fully understand everything. I am just learning as I go along. If anybody has any questions just let me know and I'll do my best to respond back and I can quickly understand this.

Firmware: 2.2

you certainly have speedmod kernel. the new version may not have the kernel version changed to show what it is but there would be no other way for the voodoo sound driver/module to get installed. you should also be able to get into cwm recovery now instead of 3e

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
have you tried to make a phone call on that setup? my guess is that voice no longer works now because you didnt flash an i9000 modem to go along with the speedmod kernel

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
other way around rfs to ext4. but hes going to need more info than that.

boot into recovery! shut off> hold both volume buttons> then hold power> count to 3 AFTER the screen comes on

before you let go.

now you are in speedmod kernel clockwork recovery! (dont use rom manager anymore if you did)

go to clockwork options > lagfix options > enable lagfix (convert to EXT4)

and select covert system to EXT4 > Yes

back, back

reboot

yes (let it do its thing and reboot)

yes (let it do its thing and reboot)

you will have to re-root! but theres an option in your kernel for that too!!
