[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Lets start with the simple questions:

1)why do you want to RUU/unroot?

2)what ROM and recovery and mods do you have?

3)have you tried RUU.exe or RUU.zip?

4)do you have the HTC drivers and SDK on your computer?

error 170 is USB failure, and you need the most recent drivers to fix (usually) and sprint hero is Sync 2.0.40 link here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/hero-sprint/downloads/

error 140 is phone image version failure, here's a link to fix it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843544

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexdemo:
Well I just rooted and I want to put a recovery image on and install a custom Rom, but its says 's-on' on my phone and somebody.said to install a custom Rom or even just a recovery image, you hafta have s-off. I cant even access the stock recovery. I'm assuming during the rooting process, I corrupted the recovery somehow..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Wait, so you're rooted an want a custom ROM? (fyi you didn't really answer my Q's) Just so you know RUU and s-off is NOT needed to gain root and flash things. Does your phone boot? If so just grab the rom mangager app from the market and install clockworkmod recovery. Then go to the thread for whatever ROM you want, and follow the instructions to install it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexdemo:
That's the thing though, I tried installing the clockworkmod recovery through Rom manager and through terminal and when I do it with terminal, it tells me the recovery.ing doesn't exist. I can't boot into recovery :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aiwetir:
When I installed cwm recover via rom manager, I couldn't boot into recovery manually I had to use the button in rom manager that says 'reboot recovery' to get there. Have you tried that?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexdemo:
I just tried booting into recovery through ron manager, no go :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aiwetir:
Are you rooted?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexdemo:
Yessirrr, and I'm sure all this could be solved with a simple RUU to wipe it clean and start brand new but I can't manage to make the RUU even work :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aiwetir:
If you can boot into the bootloader you can try the hercimg in my post above.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexdemo:
Is bootloader the screen that has the option to boot into recovery and hboot? Cause I tried the Herc.ing and I could figure it out. Where do I place the Herc.ing file?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aiwetir:
It's the white screen with plain text and a skateboarding android. You get there by holding volume down while you power up.

Follow these instructions.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexdemo:
I tried that several times. It hasn't given me an option once to flash anything from hboot mode. I'm so stumped :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aiwetir:
So you boot into hboot directly or fastboot? It says there (maybe) press volume down to get to hboot. After you press volume down, it should automagically find the HERCIMG.zip on your sdcard and offer you to update.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aiwetir:
I'm going out for a couple of hours so good luck.

I just had a dumb thing happen, I kept using adb to push a HERCIMG to my phone and it wasn't overwriting the old one, make sure you delete any old hercimgs on the sdcard and try adding the one linked above again.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexdemo:
So I used regawmod's 1-click rooter and got clockworkmod's recovery image :) (3.0.0.5). So do I really need s-off or should I just live and let gingerbread? :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpeeps74:
Irrelevant sort of, but the "you have to be s-off" statement is actually true for many phones. Many phones you will end up s-off going through their rooting process. It just so happens to not be the case with the sprint hero and probably a lot of other android phones.

~maybe I set it too high...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Sounds like you've had enough troubles. Just ignore s off for a bit, get used to flashing roms and such.

Lol yeah, I originally had a hero that I tweaked out pretty well then I busted it and switched to a blackberry style. Style is a great phone, but blackberry could never outweigh my love for android haha
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imfromwales:
I can flash 2.3.2 JV1 using ODIN but get errors when i try to flash 2.3.3 JVB...absolutley no idea why. I have changed nothing with my computer or setup and downloaded JVB from samfirmware.com - where i downloaded JV1 from also.

I have the three boxes checked in ODIN and have made sure i am using the correct files for the pit, pda, phone and csc. Error log is below:

Can anyone suggest why I cant flash JVB but can flash JV1 please?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DT3CH:
JVB file is corrupted maybe?

Just a guess though, you could always try re downloading it again and see.

Close Kies first, then run Odin as admin and in xp sp2 compatibility mode.

If it still doesnt work, try another USB port.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daltronn:
Hi, I'm sort of confused about the Voodoo Control Plus App (I unfortunately can't provide a link to the app in the market place, but it's the only one that comes up under 'Voodoo Control Plus.')

It mentions it functions on default kernals but talks about requiring Root permissions? I'm pretty unfamiliar with a lot of the technical aspects it's discussing and only have a very basic understanding with rooting as it wasn't something I ever had the need to do.

I have a stock Nexus S running Android 2.3.3. Basically my question is will this app work as advertised under these stock circumstances? Or am I out of luck with regards to the stated 'Root is required for the module option (on standard kernels)'

I've heard plenty of fantastic things about it, but am hesitant to pony up the coin at the moment as I'm slightly unsure as to whether it would actually function or not.

Any help in alleviating my confusion would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Si_NZ:
If your kernel doesn't currently support Voodoo, which is the case since you are running the stock kernel. Then the control app can load the module for you, however, loading a module requires root.

You have two options:

1) unlock your bootloader and flash a Voodoo supported kernel, which doesn't require rooting in contrast to popular believe

2) root your phone and let the app load the module for you

I would opt for 1) since the Voodoo module doesn't include screen colour tuning. On some phones, you can even do 1) without unlocking the bootloader.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jondwillis:
So the Tegra2 SoC has an Ultra Low Voltage GeForce GPU in it, I believe I remember hearing that it is based on the old GeForce 5XXX series (correct me if I'm wrong.)

We've all been enjoying the 50% CPU overlock since right after launch. What are the chances for a GPU overclock? Is it even possible? What modifications might need to be done to start overclocking the GPU?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haas360:
I believe we cant because they are both on the same chip. There is only so much voltage we can utilize. I remember seeing this somewhere..... Lol

No real damage, one of the corners is bent :( Called Asus to see if there was a chance they could send me a replacement bezel and it looks like they won't have any parts any time soon.

How in hells name did you drop it with all it's textured back?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerichoholic:
ill buy it from you. $350
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorby911:
I can see how it is possible. Even though the back is textured, it is not rubbery so it is still kinda slippery. I had a few close calls myself already, but lucky for me it hasn't happened.

To the OP - sorry to hear it, I hate when my new toys get even scratched as well. However, not to be a smart ass or anything, but would you pay anything close to retail for a dropped tablet with obvious damage? I know I wouldn't. I'd say if it really bothers you that much - try to sell it but prepare to take a hit on a price. The real challenge will probably be finding a new one. Good luck!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitch27:

Doesn't Asus have 90 days accidental damage coverage? I know it depends on the device, not sure about transformer? Check w/ your Credit Card as well, they might have that insurance coverage. Good luck
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitch27:
Personally I wouldn't, but there's a lot of demand and I with just a cosmetic damage, I can see someone like a developer or just anyone who doesn't care for a little bend see'ing it as an opportunity to save some money.

Cex have a defy that would mean a trade and ₤50 in my pocket.

I love the industrial look of the defy and after using my xoom I like the built quality.

Things I am worried about are screen quality and updates.

Any advice will be great.

Don't need to worry about updates as the devs in this forum have been looking after that!

No issues at all with this phone. It rocks!
[Defy General] ephumuris:
Its a great device. Only issue you personally may have would be the screen. I came from an oled Blade so at first I disliked the screen. However it is better in sunlight than oled and is not prone to burn in like oled.

I have had a HTC Desire and actually prefer the Defy. Custom 2.2.2 rom and overclocked to 1200mhz. Very happy.

[Defy General] bikerabhinav:
The only con I see with my Defy is the cam. Despite of the 5MP AF camera, images are way below par. Check GSMArena and you'll see.

Anyways, I was never a cam guy, and I knew this before I bought the cell.
[Defy General] dangoakachan:
Install rom and updates are both very easy, so don't worry too much. And when you update, the app data will not be deleted at all.

When you are familiar with flashing roms, It just takes a little time(about 10~20 minutes)
[Defy General] cheena:
Get a Defy. It's the most phone for the least space.
[Defy General] Frunobulax:
Defy is pretty good if you don't think you need the absolutely best camera (Motorola usually have subpar lens, this is no exception), and no keyboard (Swype works just fine).

You get that superior 854X480 display (why do some manufactures still push out those stupid non-16:9 800X480?), a VERY resistant build and a solid and pretty overclockable hardware. Put that beauty at 1GHz and it feels better than Milestone 2.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guv69:
Ive just today bought a P1010 wifi only galaxy tab after getting a price match sorted and a great price of £149 through Best buy and their new store opening.)

Ive already got a Galaxy S and have used this without any problems to connect that and display video content on the phone which is on my WHS2003 media server. Works a treat on this using allshare.

However, the app on the tab is different. I dont even get the option to add a username and password, which would be required to access the server.

Ive browsed a bit to find a solution, but no luck and have installed a couple of third party apps but still no good. I'm baffled why or how the galaxy S All Share is different to what it is on the tab.

I am basically wanting to access the media I have (thousands of films / TV shows / Music tracks) on my WHS2003 server and playback on my galaxy tab.

Any pointers would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberpyr8:
If you are rooted on both devices you could try copying the Allshare apk from the Galaxy S to the Tab. I have found a few of the apps will work from one to the other. They should be in either the system\app or data\app folders.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guv69:
Damn... I guess I'm going to have to wait a while before being able to do this! I dont have a USB connector for the phone at home - only a charger!

My phone is rooted - but not the tab as Ive only just got this today.

I used it to play some tvcatchup video - It was really pants! I hope it plays media better than that, else its not going to be with me for long and would be regarded as £150 down the pan!

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] djhotpocket:
Seems to force close when trying to log in. Is anyone else having better luck?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 360Razir:
Yeah, saw this posted on Engadget and so I downloaded it. Had to sign up on the web, as trying to create a new account in the app itself gave me FCs. When I click on Menu > Signin, then it FCs right away.

I see where the permissions requires phone access and right now, through the use of the Bloat Freezer app, my Dialer is "frozen" and therefore not accessible by any apps.

Do you have your Dialer intact? If so, then I won't bother going down that troubleshooting path.

Works perfect on my Droid X...watching Terminator Salvation right now.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] richdaley:
Mine is doing the same thing. It force closes when I click on either sign up or sign in. It is a shame because I would consider keeping HBO after my free trial is up if this worked.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 360Razir:
I can't even find the .apk on my NC....I don't see it in /Data/App or /System/App.

I ran "Fix Permissions" within ROM Manager and that didn't help, as still getting FCs when trying to login.

Looks darn good on my DX, so hoping we can get it running on the NC.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] janko10:
Same here. FC's on either sign in or sign up. CM7 Nightly 41 IIRC.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Modra76:
HBO Go does work through the browser. I too am getting the fc through the app. But at least the browser is an option till the app is figured out.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rog152:
How did you get it on the Droid X, it wont show up in market for me on mind. I am running Gingerbread rom.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Divine_Madcat:
What browser? Opera doesn't seem to be letting me sign in. I sign in, but when it takes me back to the page, nothing seems to have registered..
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Modra76:
I'm using Dolphin HD with the desktop toggle plugin (allows you to view full websites instead of mobile version). It seems to work ok. A little choppy. But I'm putting that to a poor 3G signal to my phone with tethering on to allow my nook to get wifi. It's been working great on my EVO when the 3G is working.

HBO Go is look for an IMEI, which our Nooks do not natively support (to the person who posted the logcat, thank you; that was able to tell me where the error was). Using the patched Framework.jar, i can now log in...

Thanks to the creator of the patched framework!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
Edit: Dangit Madcat! Beat me to it! I was busy taking screenshots and stuff! :D

The issue with this seems to be the app calling for a valid IMEI#. Where-as CM7 reports it as "null". And when it attempts to send out a signal to their server. It errors out and FC's. See below in red where the function happens:

Only way around this is a framework hack where you insert your own IMEI#. I attempted it with the regular CM7 framework and received the same error. Then I replaced the CM7 framework with my hacked framework. Rebooted and I'm able to sign in. See pic below.

This issue has been brought up many times before, but hasn't been resolved as of yet.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] janko10:
Did you have to do all the steps outlined in that post or just download and install the patched framework.jar that is attached?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 360Razir:
Good, I wasn't sure what the logcats were driving at, so thanks for deciphering it.

I am on 7.02, so I am not sure if that Framework.jar works for 7.02, as it was last updated 4/23 and 7.02 dropped on 4/25?

Does it change anything else that I should be concerned about (I am using the Sense Settings Mod and also the Mau5 Tablet Theme...d'ld from Market).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Divine_Madcat:
I just used the patch framework jar.

However, i dont know how out of date it is.. we may want to make a new one that is truly from 7.0.2...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 360Razir:
Nevermind...reading thru the Framework thread you posted, Post #29 has the 7.02 file we need....thanks to mthe0ry and knaries2000 for their work on this! Thanks Madcat for bringing this to our attention and getting it to work.

EDIT: added file
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
Hey Madcat,

Would you by any chance know if the servers would store the IMEI with login info. And if that would cause any issues with future logins if X number of people are reporting the same IMEI#?

My thought is it would be better if everyone created their own unique number. Just a thought. :rolleyes:

thanks,

Racks
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Modra76:
Thanks Madcat for the find. It allows me to sign in now. Now I just need to get somewhere that has decent 3g service so I can tether or get home to the wifi. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Divine_Madcat:
That is a good question. Sadly, no, i have no clue at all.... :-s
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 360Razir:
Good idea, but would that involve using smali and baksmali to assemble/disassemble?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 360Razir:
I am able to login, I selected "Terminator Salvation" and "Entourage", I see the HBO GO animation before the video actually begins, but then it gets stuck on a spinning circle, as if it is trying to load.

I am on a wifi network with both my NC and DX and the DX does not have this problem. The movie/TV show loads right away and looks perfect.

Anyone else getting the same? Or has anyone been able to watch anything yet?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 360Razir:
I just downloaded the 7.02 framework.jar and pushed to my NC (backing up original first). Rebooted and all was good. Can login now, just can't seem to actually get anything to play :(

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 360Razir:
Sent you a PM on this since I didn't want to muddy the waters.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 360Razir:
OK, now I can't even get a video to play at all. Getting an error message that states that my HBO GO ID is already in use on another computer/device. I thought it meant my Droid X, so I logged off that app. That still didn't work, so I uninstalled it from my DX....that didn't help.

Starting to think that all/most of us having duplicate IMEI #'s may be the culprit.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
Hey 360Razir,

I have HBO, but not with any of the providers that currently supports HBO-GO. So I've recompiled a CM7.0.2 framework with a unique IMEI# than the one posted. Mind testing it out to see if it will resolve the issue?

Check PM

Thanks,

Racks
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 360Razir:
Thanks, Racks! Sent you a PM about it. To reiterate, I am not getting the error anymore, but still not able to play video...screen just clocks. Maybe one hurdle jumped with your framework.jar, but the video not playing may be something altogether different, esp since others experiencing the same thing.
