[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sc0tch:
I have two unlocked, rooted USA G1, DMD64 phones,

I installed Amon_ra 1.7.0 on both and did nandroid backups, etc.

What is happening on both phones is (intermittant/randomly) I'll power back on a phone into recovery mode and instead of Amon_ra starting up it shows the triangle and phone splash screen and goes into what looks like the OEM recovery, and Amon_ra will not come up.

Both phones are exibiting this problem and it has me worried as I have had to

boot to recovery to flash backups to fix problems and if Amon_ra does not come

back up, i'm in trouble.

If I get back into my phone, i can drop to terminal and reflash (flash_image) the Amon_ra back to recovery and it will work (for an unknown number of restarts).

I can't seem to determine what triggers this behavior as I've power cycled it, pulled battery, etc, many times and never has it been consistant on when the

recovery no longer boots to Amon_ra.

Any help, suggestions, idea's would be most appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

So Sony PSN join the ranks of Gizmod, Play.com, Facebook, Sky, Apple, AOL [there are many more] as leaker's of our information.

What are peoples thoughts on this?

It seems that more often than not our passwords and details are not safe with companies anymore, but how can we protect against this?

Although it is best practice to use different passwords for every site and to use secure passwords (i.e. mix of numbers and letters) surely this is not practical since our heads are only capable of remembering so much. I also try to avoid trying out multiple passwords when logins fail, afterall, what happens if that is logged!

What solutions exist to combat this issue? Are there any alternatives?

I think it is safe to say that if at least one of your passwords has not been leaked by now, then it is simply a matter of time. I just don't think passwords are good enough now, we need something better.
[General Questions and Answers] xploz1on:
Do you mean the latest PSN Network problem? If you talking about that:

Sony will have to repay people for stolen account info such as credit card info! Its because sony security was so weak that this happened!!

Now i agree that passwords are not always the best protection for us. And never use public computers to check email and stuff since most have keyloggers!

For Password i use a real strong password using all sort of simbols and its meaning its not related to me nor family... Makes it hard to guess for people :P
[General Questions and Answers] meltwater:
The problem is that not matter how strong the password is, once it is stolen it doesn't matter anymore unless you have strong passwords for each and every site and a Rain-Man brain to recall them all.

I agree about public computers, you can add to that Open Wifi connections and those people who think it is a great idea to keep their wifi unsecured!

I think as people have become aware of password security, they do use better passwords, but they still use them everywhere.

I know some people use apps to store their passwords, but not only is that inconvenient but what happens if you battery is flat?

For such a big problem, there must be some kind of answer.
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
Sony are a bit of a joke these days. To be fair, it's not definate that CC info was taken as they don't actually know, and to the best of my knowledge nobody has reported actually having been defrauded yet. Credit Cards are covered by fraud protection anyway so it would only be the inconvenience that it causes people rather than a loss of money.

PSN passwords and account info is another matter though. That should all be encrypted and if it's not they have a lot to answer for! Also, why did it take them a week to report this problem to the account holders?

Just read this: http://www.fudzilla.com/games/item/22562-sony-now-saying-there-was-no-leak
[General Questions and Answers] neival:
Hi! When I read about this Sony issue i shocked! I mean, if that happens to sony... i think i'm not buying anything else without a virtual credit card.

Regarding to the passwords... i found this article in a blog the other day that recommended to use long passwords, with different elements, one common and one specific for every site. For example:

p4ssw0rd_fBk for facebook, or p4ss_gM41L for gmail... i think thats an interesting idea!
[General Questions and Answers] meltwater:
yeah I was thinking of something along similar lines.

I guess you have to make it slightly more than a simple combo though or there is still a chance it could be used. It would stop most automated attacks though, which would be far better than using the same password.

A different take on using a combo of random letters/numbers is suggested here http://www.baekdal.com/tips/password-security-usability. Interesting that "It is 10 times more secure to use "this is fun" as your password, than "J4fS<2"" even though you are using common words and you are much more likely to remember it...makes sense I suppose, there are only 128 ascii chars but far more possible common words so even three is enough. It goes against what most password advice of using mixed case etc, but in fact it is right - although note that WAP2 talks about a pass-phrase rather than a password, you can see why now. Obviously unrelated words would be better, i.e. not using famous quotes etc , and you still have the problem of putting a unique bit in for the site itself which can't be used to access your other accounts, if they get your password from somewhere else.

I think if I did use such a system it would be worth keeping note of the codes you've used (somewhere nice and safe of course) or you could end up locking yourself out of a lot of places (or at least keep track of which places you've adopted the system on).

Could also having a system so you can change your passwords periodically but still remember them i.e. a year code or something, 1st letter of your car reg perhaps.

Another thing you could do is to protect your email address (since that is a prime target once your details have been lost...i.e. they now have a password (or variations to try) and related email account to try it on) is to use email aliases (like hotmail allows), so that the signed up email address does not even relate to an actual real account (hotmail just says the password is incorrect, even if you are using the correct one for the linked account!).

The only other issue is down to security questions and password reminders on sites, a password is useless if they just reset it due to a simple security question. (Does sony have that info as part of sign up or is it just your email address they use for reminders - I can't remember now).

After-all, if they just need you to supply your D-O-B or mothers maiden-name and it was stored on a site which has lost it's data, it is not something you can change (unless you lie of course from now on). What info would they use to verify you if you told them you've lost access to your email address, would that info also have been included in the "lost" data from these companies???

How big is the file you want to transfer? If it's more then 4GB then you found the problem.

You can see it from screenshot 1,98 GB.

It's rather a Windows problem like I see it. Maybe faulty codecs..

Just got my phone this morning, and what can I say, the thing is a beast.

Its just so fast, so smooth, its even better then i thought it would be

Just one quick question though, as an Android newbie, is there software that will sync it with my mac? I have seen that Mark/Space program, but used it on another phone and not really a fan.

Only reason I want to do it really is so that I can get my contacts synced up properly!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manadar:
For your contacts, import them to your google account they will be sync automaticly.

For music and stuff drag and drop on the sd or use double twist.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaady:
Cool thanks, will look into it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickliq:
For iTunes synching, I use iSyncr. It works really well...you pick the iTunes content you want to sync (all music, selected playlists, podcasts, videos, etc) and it just syncs them automatically. Costs a few bucks form the Market but it's well worth it compared to manually copying the files over to a large SD card.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orio56:
Tuesday night I loaded CM7, and then the Market wouldn't update my apps so I decided I would restore BAMF 1.5. After doing so, the Market just gave me "Fails" trying to update, and I could not access recovery, as I was going to do a complete wipe and reflash. Most of Wednesday, an extremely helpful & knowledgable member, Mattgyver83, tried diligently to help me rectify the situation, but to no avail. We tried to Fastboot, tried flash_image, tried fix permissions...shoot, I practically wore out adb..anyway, I ended up reverting back to stock and unrooted. I used jcase's method to revert back to stock, and that was painless, and successful. I decided last night to try rooting again, thinking a fresh root would solve my issue of not being able to access recovery. Root was successful, but I still cannot access recovery, through rom manager, or through bootloader. When I attempt it my Tbolt goes to white HTC screen, and stays there. All functions of my phone now work, and all aspects of root work, except I cannot flash anything. Rom manager shows I have clockwork recovery, but I just can't get to it.

Sorry for the long ramble. If anyone has had this issue, or if anyone knows a fix, I would appreciate it. Otherwise, I wait for Gingerbread.

Thanks :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travishamockery:
Happened to me with CM7 builds. For some reason they were erasing the recovery. Just have to reflash the recovery in Rom Manager and you'll be all set in the future.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monolithic:
I'm stabbing in the dark at this, but this did work for me with my Droid...

I had a similar issue with my Droid. Someone recommended that I flash recovery multiple times before trying to reboot. The comments were basically that you need to flash recovery 3-5x until the flashing process is a mere few short seconds. Evidently that is an indication that the flash has occurred correctly.

Ie. Flash recovery and wait until the confirmation pop-up/message only takes a few seconds to pop up. If the message takes longer than 5 seconds or so, re-flash recovery and repeat until the confirmation comes up quickly.

This sounded retarded to me, but I was at the end of my rope so I tried it. It worked like a charm.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orio56:
Thanks, but that didn't work. I think something in my os got lost when I restored BAMF from CM7.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattgyver83:
Yea I spent a good few hours yesterday trying to help Orio out and we attempted a ton of things to try and fix the recovery issue, this post should offer a bit more insight to the methods used, this is running off memory;

adb reboot recovery failed

Reinstall latest Rom Manager apk and Flash CWM

flash latest rom manager via fastboot (CWM only)

(fastboot flash recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.5.img)

**did not do fastboot erase recovery first**

"return to stock safely and properly" XDAthread by jcase

return to stock image [RUU], reroot, try again

try to boot into recovery via hboot

manually installed fix_permissions.sh script and busybox on rooted stock, ran.. didnt fix

tried to see if flash_image method would work, didn't

All of the above have failed and we basically tried almost all combinations. Not once would this phone get back into recovery, even after flashing the appropriate RUUs which include either stock android or CWM recovery. The only thing we have not currently attempted which might be the last thing left is to do is manually install the nandroid.sh script and do an advanced restore of the recovery image only from a nandroid backup on SD. I would rather not go down this method as it could have an undesired result, I have done it to restore a G1 back in the day but not 100% if its gonna work on a tbolt. Thankfully his phone boots, and we can get into hboot, but yea.. pretend recovery just doesnt exist at all...

Curious if anyone has any knowledge above what we have already tried.

I recall the same thing and its a good thought however that was mostly a generic error due to a CWM update and CM6 (I think) but either way flashing an RUU should override this shortcoming and im pretty sure that issue was worked out in CWM as well.

Not to be rude, but I don't think this question belongs in the development section.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hogowner:
do you still have the P zip file for the radio (baseband) on your SD card? if you do....try to delete it...then hold power and volume down button down....then see if you can get into recovery....

probably not going to work...but it is worth a try......
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orio56:
Thanks, but no, I deleted that after loading it. I actually reverted back to stock/unrooted last night and rerooted and the problem still remains. It's quite strange. :confused:
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelooga:
maybe i missed it if someone suggested this but what about flashing an older version of CWM?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Florynce:
That is what I was going to suggest. In ROM Manager at the very bottom try and flash an older version.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hogowner:

now go ahead and start playing with your T-BOLT again! :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wraithdu:
That's a very odd solution. My first two things to try would have been:

1) fastboot:

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery C:\some\local\path\recovery.img

You can't, well, probably shouldn't, flash a recovery from the /sdcard. When in fastboot mode I don't think the sdcard is even mounted. Either way, I think fastboot needs the img file on the local file system.

2) Create a PG05IMG.zip file with the recovery.img file in it, and flash that through HBOOT. Although this should have been done in some form or fashion when you downgraded or re-rooted, so YMMV.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zroice:
I still have 2.2.1. self-cooked from the Rom-Kitchen on my device. I love the rom kitchen concept where you can decide what you want on your own but unfortunatly the kitchen only has JVB as beta.

So I was wondering what rom you could recommend?

What I am looking for:

- JVB base

- Modded apk's (non increasing ringtone, camera hack, browser hack with useragent)

- extended power menu

- ad-hoc wifi support

- lagfix (ext4)

- up-to-date busybox and CWM

.

I guess I can install the modded apk's etc myself, so its not required that the rom has those preinstalled, but would be cool anyway. But that the base (busybox, cwm, root, etc.) features of the custom roms are up to date are most important for me, so I won't have to reflash again in a couple of weeks when things get finally updated etc.

I wouldn't want to install experimental stuff like cynagogenmod etc. which still have problems.

Hope you can help me decide so I don't have to dig through all the roms available.
