Seriously? So are you telling me that if your mt4g doesn't have the engineering bootloader, you can never send any adb commands from your PC to the phone? No offense, but that's just some crazy statement. I know that some people here have brought up that the OP's adb on the phone has been cortupted somehow, but never did anyone ever asked him about the adb driver loaded on the computer he was using! I'm not trying to pick up a fight or war of words, but a lot of people on this very thread has neglected to point out that the adb driver on the OP's machine could be the culprit of the problem. Also, if I only I was in front of my computer right now, I will show you that I could produce the same error on my phone's CWM trying to load a non gingerbread ROM. Again, there is just no way that I would agree that because he doesn't have the EBL, he's SOL. Maybe if the OP's problem was that the fact that he can't load CWM at all and loaded the adb driver on his machine and still not able to send any commands, then maybe, only maybe I would thin that his phone's adb was shot. But based on the advices on this very thread, I haven't seen anyone brought up the adb driver issues on the OP's machihe, nor the op mentioning about loading the driver like how I kept pointing out. Which is crazy as there's even a long thread here about this same issue, where there's even a step by step instruction on how to do it. I could search for it later after dinner and post the link on my post. Just to prove you guys that it's an issue on a windows machine.

Here's the link to the post by option94 on this issue

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897368

Also, darinmc, I hope I don't offend you with me questioning your post about not having thrpe EBL. It's just that I hate seing 5 pages of this very thread with most of the people either saying that the OP is SOL instead of helping. And simply posting that his phone is bricked is just annoying and not helping. Especially when I know that there's issues on he adb interface driver and the CWM vers 3 and froyo ROM.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darinmc:
Actually in those other threads many commands were run, but at some point in the process errors surfaced. It wasn't that it wouldn't read/write, it was that certain command lines failed for whatever reason. Nothing I've read talked about a corrupted driver, mainly because it worked, if only partially. If I had the problem I would love to try what you are saying, a fix for this issue would pretty much round up 95 percent of the *bricks* in here. I'm just trying to provide some context. The devs have gone to great lengths to solve this issue.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hunteryezd:
Thank you very much~~

You advice is brilliant and I am working on it, I did everything just for a guy barely know, surely I am interested in issues!!

Don't waste your time, listen to us .... the phone is done. Trust us we know what we are talking about

Check this up~~

I update the driver as he said, and adb works, yet the device not allow??? Would this related to USB debugging?????
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Sigh.. because you still need EBL... :(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hunteryezd:
Could this be related to (USB debugging??)

EBL~~~~~~~~could I write it with a knift???? Kidding~~~
[myTouch 4G Android Development] krat0s123:
no.. it's not related to USB debugging.. you only need to enable it when you booted to a phone ROM.. Anyway, try using a fresh windows XP machine and do the fastboot/adb commands from there.. when I say fresh, I mean an XP system where you haven't installed any Android USB drivers and google SDK.. Also, did you try loading a gingerbread based ROM from CWM recovery? try this recovery image in the attachment (vers 3.0.0.6), and unzip/unrar it to the ADB/FASTBOOT folder on your machine, overwriting the one you already have..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
What part of he does not have the engineering spl do you not understand?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] krat0s123:
it's the part that the engineering bootloader is not needed when installing new ROM on CWM!!! besides, the fact that he can boot into bootloader, recovery and connect to fastboot means the OP's phone is not bricked, like you kept insisting!! Man! is it really that hard for you to help a fellow member?? seriously! on this thread alone, nobody has ever mentioned anything about how to load the proper driver on windows machine, to be able to connect to the OP's phone. instead all I see is people like you kept saying it's bricked, it's bricked it's bricked! how can you come up with that assumption when you haven't even exerted all the options to help the OP?? not because you don't have EBL, means you can't connect through fastboot anymore or adb! EBL only gives you extra options that's not available on regular bootloader, but adb and fastboot are not one of them! i know, i'm being redundant about what i'm saying, but maybe i'm doing that because it seems like someone like you doesn't understand what i'm saying! a BRICKED phone = NO BOOTLOADER, NO RECOVERY, NO FASTBOOT CONNECTION nor ADB!! especially CWM!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hunteryezd:
your words it is not redundant, it is a spirit~~to make hopes!!

Tks for your continuous advice, I would try until the owner want to get his device back~~~~~~
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
You have no idea as to what you are talking about, search the Q&A forum and you will come across plenty of threads that all end this way. I will spell it out for you.

1. He bootloops when he powers on

2.The recovery is broken. He cant flash anything or restore anything.

3. He cant revert back by using the PD15IMG

4. He can't flash anything from fastboot because he doesn't have eng spl.

So like you said

a BRICKED phone = NO BOOTLOADER, NO/BROKEN RECOVERY, NO FASTBOOT CONNECTION nor ADB!! especially CWM!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] GazaIan:
... Smells like CWMR 3.0.0.5 to me..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darinmc:
you helped the guy get adb up and running, which is awesome. However, to review: gets a Fail PU when running PD15IMG.zip. Can't mount recovery partition in CWR. Adb/fastboot recognizes the device and even works, but is being denied access to the recovery partition. So he can't revert to stock, he can't flash anything from CWR because it's corrupted, and he can't flash a new CWR because he is being denied access to the recovery partition with ADB (.86 bootloader evidently blocks access to certain partitions). So what is next?

Quick question to OP, did you put the part7backup file created when you did the gfree root on the root of the sdcard prior to running PD15IMG.zip?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] krat0s123:
well, you don't spell it well..

1. bootloops doesn't always necessary means it's bricked! it could be a bad rom, bad flash etch!

2. the recovery is broken, yes that may seem to be the case. why he can't flash anything or restore anything?? well, did you ever ask the OP if he has the right adb interface driver onto his machine? nope! and yet, you said it was bricked since he can't flash anything or restore anything.. how can he if he doesn't have the right driver to communicate with the phone?

3. he can't revert back to pd15img file? there could be many reasons why.. one of which is the file could be corrupted or simply the sdcard has a problem etc.

When I say that a bricked phone doesn't have bootloader, no recovery, no fastboot or adb connection to the computer, i meant you wouldn't be able to boot or see all those! but on the OP's case, he does! CWM 3.0.2.4 is the only culprit because of the old CWM compatibility issue with froyo and gingerbread rom! anyway, i'm gonna stop arguing with you, as all you're giving is negative advice instead of trying to help the OP figure out a way to fix his problem.. i mean, what do you want the OP to do?? take your advice and just throw his phone away, just because you think it's bricked? just because this has been discussed in the past and some people gave up trying to find a fix and started claiming that the phone is bricked, doesn't mean that it really is! anyway, I'm gonna try to help the OP and stop wasting time arguing with you about helping him out.. if you think that his phone is bricked then so be it.. but don't stop me from helping the OP or telling the OP to stop trying to find a way to revive his phone, cause that doesn't help anyone at all.. ANYWAY!

to the OP, try restoring from this nandroid backup of CM7 i made for the MT4G.. i will send the link through your inbox.. unrar it to your clockwork mod\backup directory and then try to restoring using CWM recovery..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] JDV28:
I had this exact issue one week ago, only to be told by everyone on XDA that I'm f**ked. pd15.img or whatever its called is the only fix if you don't have the Eng bootloader. that's it. there's nothing more to it. flash that img/zip then reroot, etc.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hunteryezd:
This is not my phone, and he format the SDcard, but I copy from my own one and put it in the SDcard~~not work either
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dcwiker05:
Look man you are really nice and all and we all understand where you are coming from and let me tell you, in any other situation everything you said would be right but here...it wont work. Let me but it this way as I have BEEN here and DONE (FIXED) this! CWM boots, YAY! But it's busted... he can flash WHATEVER he wants but it will not boot...OR it WILL boot but it will be busted to all hell...as in EVERYTHING!! EVERYTHING will FORCE CLOSE!!! No matter what you do no matter how you do it, trust me I got CM7 to boot, I got RG to boot and UD to boot as well as 2 different NANDS but they all FC'd to hell and back! You really gonna sit here and say ALL those ROMS and NANDS where broken?

I'm not trying to be negative, I'm being a realist. The fix to this is EBL...period. It has nothing to do with ADB nothing to do with CWM nothing to do with BL's or Boot ups or what have you... It's EBL...because it's the only thing that will let you flash the old CWM to actually FIX the issue. OP I wish I could help more but every rooting method I have read for MYT4G HIGHLY recommended flashing EBL... and hopefully after people read all these brick threads...they will flash EBL!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hunteryezd:
Bingo~~Let's All EBL~~~~~

Tks Dude~I would do that on my own one~

As anyone noticed the black font from other applications like beejive.is there anyway to fix this?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] KLoNe1:
Pretty sure the app has to be changed. Or at least the Framework.res

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] curioct:
you're right it's framework.res

I lightened the png graphics files in framework.res as my screen seemed particularly dark compared to my friends one, this solved the issue.

Cant remember the precise files but it was easy enough to find look for a thread in this forum I started think the exactly files were listed in that
[Nook Color General] LTLFTCer:
Hey everyone, hope to get some help here. I put 1.2 ont he wifes Nook the other day, then last night decided to go ahead and root it. However, using Home Switcher, I accidentally set Home a default instead of Zeam.

I can't seem to find a simple process to clear that default setting from the Nook Home launcher. Can anyone help?
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
Run Home Switcher again.
[Nook Color General] LTLFTCer:
Thanks, but I can't seem to do that from the stock home screen, it isn't in the apps list.
[Nook Color General] woot1524:
If you can get back into the market, install another launcher, or uninstall then reinstall zeam. That should reset the first home button press to select launcher.
[Nook Color General] BrianDigital:
If he is on 1.2 non bn apps.do not show up in their launcher.

If you happen to have.softkeys running just get into.the setting.of softkeys and change home buttom.option
[Nook Color General] LTLFTCer:
yeah, that was what I was thinking. I tried to download softkeys last night from here, but 1.2 won't recognize the file type. Guess I will try again later.
[Nook Color General] ErroneousBosch:
If you can get into the Applications Settings screen, you can clear defaults on the home launcher and that should do it.
[Nook Color General] billingdl:
Same problem...

I'm having the same problem. I mistakenly set my N button to Home and now it is as if my device is no longer rooted. With the 1.2 root, the Apps button only shows B&N apps. I hoping someone has a solution, so I don't have to start all over... :(
[Nook Color General] billingdl:
Did you ever find a solution to this? I just did the same thing...and really don't want to have to start all over.
[Nook Color General] docfreed:
If you rooted, then you should have Nook Color tools in your apps. Go to Nook Color Tools>Settings>Manage Applications and find Zeam. Then clear the defaults and back out of the application. You should be able to make a choice between "Home" and "Zeam" as your launcher when you press the Nook button.
[Nook Color General] billingdl:
With the MN root for 1.2, the B&N Apps button/screen only show the B&N apps, tho... I'm hoping once 1.2 rooting is further along we'll see all of our Apps, but not at this point. I'm still hoping there is some way to do this, so I don't have to start over.
[Nook Color General] jpeg42:
I ran into this same thing. To fix it, going through your web browser and install an APK for something launcher related. This will make android bring up the "Default Launcher" prompt the next time you press the 'N' button.

Try something like this, get back into Zeam, and uninstall it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=827288

Edit: If you can browse to the Zeam, Soft Keys or Home Switcher APKs, I suppose you could reinstall and that would also bring up the prompt.
[Nook Color General] billingdl:
I wasn't sure if I was going to get any ideas, so decided to go ahead and start over, so I'm back to stock now and updating to 1.2, then will be MN again. I did take a quick look at the link you provided, tho, and must not have read through it closely enough, because it didn't jump out at me what I would have done. It was a post about phones, but I assume that was okay.

When you say to go through my Web browser and install an APK. How would I have done that? Using the browser on the NC, can you install applications from market.android.com? I didn't think you could...

I'm back MN rooted now...get to reinstall all my apps and fun stuff! Boo! I won't do THAT again! :(
[Nook Color General] dung8604:
On a semi unrelated note, has anyone else noticed significant lag when panning through the app drawer using zeam? Using phiremod cm7 I switched to adw (stock) launcher and it seems so much smoother even though I'm not clocking it as fast (1.1 to 800 MHz) which I found extremely odd
[Nook Color General] skyhawk21:
For some reason ZEAM's app drawer does lag on all versions of the BN software thats rooted. It has been seen by many users here. If you try launcher pro much better app drawer and totally smooth even more than the stock app drawer that comes with android operating system. Although I beleive you cannot do specific things using launcher pro that you can do with zeam!
[Nook Color General] andream2g:
I'm having the same problem. I mistakenly set my N button to Home and now it is as if my device is no longer rooted. With the 1.2 root, the Apps button only shows B&N apps. I hoping someone has a solution, so I don't have to start all over...

How did you get your N button to set as physical home? Are you using Soft-keys? In 1.2 so far I have not managed to engage the N button at all to go HOME. Ended up locking the Soft-key HOME icon in the Taskbar to get out of BN screen.
[Nook Color General] jmontrose:
Easy fix, from home launcher: search, then just search for Zeam or what ever app you have installed. With search history on it could even be considered a crude app tray.
[Nook Color General] jsirgey:
do a search, apps should come up in the search list and you can access the launcher from there.
[Nook Color General] billingdl:
Haven't experienced Zeam lag...

I haven't experienced a lag in Zeam with rooted BN 1.2.
[Nook Color General] billingdl:
Thanks! Definitely good to know should I get in that situation zgain. So simple, but didn't occur to me.
[Nook Color General] billingdl:
When I experienced the problem, I had clicked the check box (which makes your selection the default) in the dialog box that prompts asking you what you want to use to complete the task (when pressing the N) and I had selected Home.

After re-rooting, I installed Home Switcher for Froyo where you can set it.
[Nook Color General] issildur:
Awesome site! Awesome people!

Thanks for posting the solution for this. I was about to kill my friend for messing up with my lovely rooted nook. You've just save a life :D

Hi everyone,

I would like a ROM with the following features:

USB tethering working on win xp

Synchronization of calendar with MS outlook on win xp

FM Radio (if possible!)

Good data transfer speed

Currently I have a NexusOne Gingerbread ROM, FM Radio (I installed the app) is not working and neither the USB tethering is (as precised in the thread of the ROM). I didnt try yet the synchronization with outlook because I don't know which software I have to put in the PC...

Other than that, I love that build!

Thank you,

Michele

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
hi

Please take a look at the guide in my sig.

Number 1.

For sync with outlook, you need a sense ROM.

:)

Flashed from my fingers to your face
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Entropia666:
Thank you! I couldn't find the thread for the first (Nand). A precision, USB tethering for me is sharing the internet connection!

Thank you :) So, I'm not asking for the BEST ROM, but for a one with specific features :D

Is SENSE mandatory to sync with outlook?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

SENSE is necessary to use HTC SYNC.Otherwise there is a program called "MyPhoneExplorer".

The reason I suggested my guide was there is a link:

http://android.hd2roms.com/

which will show all the current ROMS.You can look at all the [OP] to see which one might suit you.

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Entropia666:
Thank you again!

That's a lot of ROM! Which is the order? Random?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

ROMS are posted in order of release(check dates)

You can click on XDA ROM details to see what each one is about to see if it would suit you.

The messages seem to be highlighted and then un-highlighted

Any idea why this is happening and why?

It does'nt always happen so I suspect it's a bug.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaccdroid:
Anyone see this or it happen to anyone. I have had this since I got the Tablet and its no biggie to me but after I few weeks I am curious to why my battery level always say fully charged on the battery icon and when I tap it it say 100% always. I downlaoded a battery widget and the same thing . Always 100%.

Thanks.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
Happened to me too. I found hte solution in this very forum. Let your battery drain all the way down to 0%...the tablet will turn itself off, obviously. Plug it in, start it up in recovery mode and wipe battery stats.

While waiting for mine to drain, it eventually started going down. I think the tablet turned itself off when I still had (visually) 16% battery life available, even though it was actually 0%.

From what I've read, this is a problem with calibration. When the battery is at 100%, the gauge will actually be at around 110% or more, so, technically, the battery gauge will not drain until you've used the additional gauge indication.

But yea, drain it fully, restart it holding volume up, reset battery cache and reboot...you should now see it charging from 0%.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaccdroid:
I am on stock rom and do not have Clockwork installed nor do I want to . I had it and it took me forever to get rid of it to update . Is there a way to reset battery cache on stock. And thank you for the reply.+
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
I can honestly say I have no idea, sorry. I bought mine with CWM already on it.

since your're on stock, have you tried contacting VS tech support?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaccdroid:
I might do that. thank you. I just dont want to return it . its a absolutley perfect model and for something so trivial I wouldnt. was just curious if there is a fix and I learned there is but need Clockwork . Again thanks.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
The thing is, I'm not compleely sure that you NEED CWM. Stock setups do have a recovery mode as well, but it's more limited than CWM. Since I've never used a stock setup, I can't tell you what you are capable of doing from stock recovery mode. I'm pretty sure that there is a factory restore option...of course, that would be a last resort if you've added lots of apps, etc.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
Battery stats are stored in /data/system/batterystats.bin

A data wipe (factory restore) should clear that. If you have root access you should be able to delete that specific file.

Edit: Now that I think of it... it could also be done through an updater script. Kind of busy right now but I'll try to put something together in a few hours.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
su
rm -f /data/system/batterystats.bin
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaccdroid:
Im not exactly sure what that is ? or what to do with it. Im not "technical" as they say.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaccdroid:
If ya get a chance no biggie and thank you.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Just type those commands in a Terminal window, or in adb shell.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaccdroid:
Guess thats where the not technical comes in. I dont know what a Teminal Window or a ADB is? I will ofcourse do some due diligence and try to learn . Always want to try to understand something if I do not know what it is. And thank you for explaining. Much appreciated.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgingermany:
Good afternoon fam. Hey K J, wondering if you ever got that .zip put together for the battery calibration. My Gtab has been on 100 since I bought it and like vaccdroid, at first I was cool with it but its actually become a naussance now that my wife uses it more often. If you didn't that's cool, I'll try the suggestion from TJEvans, but if you were able too, can I get it please? Thank you either way fam.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Removing the batterystats.bin file may not fix your problem.

Please see this post for the reason.
