Ahh, I had an issue with it a while back that was fixed by unmounting the sdcard before installing them. I'd read about it in this article before, maybe it will help someone here: http://lifehacker.com/5714300/how-to-fix-installation-unsuccessful-errors-in-the-android-market

Seems like it mostly covers problems with updates, though.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bohemian:
I will be traveling in Europe soon. Rome, Venice, Lucerne, Paris, and London. Would like to take and use my Streak 5. It is an AT&T radio one that I bought outright and got the code to unlock the sim. Any recommendations on buying a prepaid sim with data that I can use while there? I would like to be able to call home to the US and upload pictures to online photo albums. For uploads I hope to be able to use wifi hotspots but still need data for apps that I want to run. Could I buy a sim ahead of time to have when I arrive? or would it be better to buy once there?

no, man :( there is no Proxy settings.
[Legend General] curto:
damn, now im stuck using cm6 :( which is annoying cause i recently put on the newest cm6 cause the version i had was slowing down and well yeah now the phone doesnt vibrate which is annoying. no matter what i do it will not vibrate when i get a message or when someone calls me which is annoying cause im usually on silent mode 99% of the time and i need to be able to feel when someone has messaged me or calling me. and i need proxy settings for uni.. hmm annoying situation.
[Legend General] Mafuzzer:
I think you can do it in CyanogenMod 7.

Here is a quote from the CyanogenMod forums:

"In CM6 there was a setting in the Wireless & Settings for the proxy.

In CM7 you have to long press on the desktop background.

Then in the list that pops up select `Custom Shortcut` - `Pick your activity` -

`Activities` - `Settings` -

toward the bottom of this long list is `Proxy Settings`

Add this shortcut to your desktop. When you then click on the shortcut you can enter your proxy

address and port number.

Works fine for me."
[Legend General] curto:
whoa, now thats interesting.. i might try that actually. thanks! oh and it turns out that by default in this new cm6 version that i started using that notification vibration is turned off by default lol all i had to do was turn it on *facepalm* but yeah thats pretty cool about cm7, thanks for letting me know :D

EDIT: does anyone know if that can be done in blayos rom? about the proxy thing? cheers

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rnehrlf:
Alright. Here's the story.

I have a Windows 7 64bit computer

+ lg Quantum.

I recently upgraded to the official nodo upgrade

I tried to jailbreak (unlock) my phone and followed all the steps looking at various guides but i could never get pass the

"Uh oh" cannot commmunicate with your phone blah blah make sure that zune is up and ur phone is connected.

And no, im not resetting my phone

Is there a way to unlock after the nodo upgrade?

and if not is there a way to downgrade your wp7?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gms0012:
if you have nodo, than you can not unlock the device.

must make it before..
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaAlWe:
jap thats right...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Neither of the two posters above me is correct.

To get an official unlock, you have to buy a Marketplace developer account from Microsoft. These aren't available in all parts of the world yet, but where they are, they are considered the "official" option for side-loading apps. This is available on all phones and all versions.

To un-officially unlock your device, use the built-in registry editor in the LG manufacturer/diagnostics app. http://wmpoweruser.com/debranding-tutorial-for-lg-phones-to-hurry-nodo-along-needs-to-dev-unlock/ has the instructions to do so. Developer-unlock is just a registry key; a little searching on this forum will revela which one (I forget offhand).

To roll back your device to pre-NoDO (which will allow ChevronWP7 to work), connect it the Zune software, and then go to Settings -> Device -> Update. There should be an option to restore to the backup which was made when installing NoDo. Note that this is not reversible; you'll lose everything you did since the upgrade. Also note that while restoring this backup will downgrade the phone, simply factory-restting it will not.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rnehrlf:
The only reason why I want to unlock my device is so that i can install homebrew applications. Sorry i am not bright in technical areas, what does DEBRANDING your phone do?

and will Chevron work after i downgraded my phone?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
Unlocking on LG phones works via MFG even after NoDo

yep, Gooddaytodie is correct - almost ;) . Use the MFG registry editor as described step by step in this guide. This still works AFTER NoDo update. I did not unlock or hack my phone before I received the NoDo update.

You do not need to roll back! You don't have to debrand your phone either. Debranding is a change from ATT-US to 000-88 or something other than your current provider and is required if you want to obtain NoDo "unofficially". This can be done in the registry as well. But there is no need for you to do this.

You also don't need the chevron unlocker (in fact it won't work after the registry hack - but you don't need it because it's unlocked already).

Follow the steps in the link and you will have an unlocked phone. I hope you did not unnecessarily roll back yet :eek:.

good luck. If you have questions about steps in that guide, send me a PM and I will be glad to help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoeKz:
It started out when I updated my custom ROM to a newer version. After the first boot (after a full wipe, too), my apps weren't restored. I went to the Android market to try to download the missing apps and I kept getting an error: "Download of 'app name' was unsuccessful". I did a couple more full wipes and nothing, so I found another custom ROM, did a full wipe and installed and I still have the same problem.

I tried to Google some fixes for the problem but none worked. I tried clearing the cache and data for the market, update manager and Google Talk manager and got nothing. I unmounted my SD card, turned off my phone, removed the SD card and put it all back and nothing happened. I really don't know what to do now.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

EDIT: I fixed it. Turns out I had a bad radio. Flashed a new one and it's back to normal.

So next I tried to do it manually, but it gets stuck at the last line shown below. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I searched the forums and did about an hours worth of researching. All attempts have failed so far.

If I can at least go back to stock I'd be satisfied.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saurabh2310:
had similar problem. I started from the beginning an followed these steps :

i guess you had 2.3.3

1)Unlock bootloader by booting into bootloader mode connect nexus to pc open console and command

fastboot oem unlock

2)install gingerbreak apk to your fone normally. it will help you get superuser privilege. (the tutorial said you format your sd card from fone first)

3) download ClockworkMod Recovery to your pc (Amon_Ra's Recovery didnt work form me)

4)Install ROM manager from market

5)boot your fone to bootloader mode and connect it to pc. open console and command:

fastboot flash recovery <path of cloackworkMod recovery .img file>

FLASHING RADIO

6)Download latest radio. Rename the .zip file to update.zip and place it in root of your SD card

7)open ROM manger on ur fone and click on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.

8) then click on "install ROM from SD card" and locate your update.zip

9) now dowload the custom ROM like Cyanogenmod or any you want to install

10) rename the zip file to update.zip

11)place it in root of SD card(you can remove the earlier update .zip)

12) open ROM manger on ur fone and click on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.

13)then click on "install ROM from SD card" and locate your update.zip

This did the trick for me..hope it does for you too

Not sure how root checker works, but if you rooted the way you did, the su binary will not be in the /system/xbin directory it will be in the /system/bin directory. But it makes no difference, you are still rooted. forget about using root checker. To see if you are rooted, open an adb shell and type su. If the $ turns into a #, you are rooted...

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] danaff37:
Does your phone slow down? If it's not slowing down, don't worry about it. Apps stay asleep in ram and don't run, this just means they don't have to be reloaded and are saved in the position they are in when you left them... this is the pseudo multi-tasking. If it's not slow, don't mess with it. Mine runs down that low fairly often with no loss of speed. But you can adjust the minimum settings in autokiller as suggested above if it bothers you that much

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] randomrobbi:
one thing that I do is use Titanium Backup to roll updates into the ROM. it hasnt caused me any issues yet that a reboot doesnt solve.

If you long press on an item in Titanium Backup...you get an option to integrate update into rom. Doing that will free up a small bit of storage, but for multiple apps it might add up for some people. My phone is smooth as butter running CM7

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuvan03:
Ok i'm new to this so i will not hesitate to ask for help.

I have a Sprint Hero, and i have Rooted it, using Regaw's Guide. That part was simple. I have also found the Wiki related to the hero on this site my problem is this. I'm new to this i don't want to brick a perfectly good phone and i understand what is being said in the wiki about flashing but i just want to like double check before i try anything.

So is there like a step by step walk through somewhere i'm missing? Like "Flashing Roms for Dummies".

The first step on the flashing guide wiki says to make sure you have a custom recovery installed. Would this be the nandroid backup made when rooting the phone or something else completely?

Also what are the best Roms for the hero?

I Apologize if this has been asked and answered.

Thanks for any and all help in Advance.

Great bunch of helpful people on this forum.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
Looks like regaw's installs Amon_RA as part of the process of rooting. Try this:

1. Power off your phone.

2. Hold down the home key and press the red power button.

3. Hold the power until the htc screen pops up and release it. Keep the home button pressed until something besides the htc screen shows.

4. If done correctly, you will either get a screen with a triangle and exclamation point, or a menu with various options. menu is good, means you have a recovery installed.

5. If you get the triangle, you do not have a recovery installed. Go here:

ok it comes up with android system recovery with a menu and at the bottom it says "Build: RA-heroc-v1.5.2"
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trip187:
Ok first thing I would recommend is to open up your settings, select 'about phone' and find the update prl and profile options. Then download the app Rom Manager from the market, open it up, and at the very top select 'flash clockwork mod recovery'. Then select backup current rom. This way you have a reliable nandroid of your stock rom to fall back on if you ever need to. Next thing is to start reading through the various threads on XDA about the different rom's and stuff to get more of an idea of what your looking for in a rom.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
+1 on updating prl and profile. As for rom manager, you don't need it, you already have a recovery installed.

Find you a rom you want to try out, I suggest cyanogenmod 7, but I run it, so i might be biased. :)

Get a file manager from the market, I use root explorer, it's a paid app, but worth it, and titanium backup.

Once you pick out a rom, holla back and we will get it flashed.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuvan03:
Sure CM7 seems like a good a rom as any, its 2.3 on the hero, can't get much cooler than that. Does it allow installing/moving apps to the SD card? Also i'm assuming changing roms changes which programs are on the phone by default so which ones are included in this or stripped away if any?

I use astro file manager, downloaded the Titanium backup. I am unable to update the prl/profile atm cause the phone isn't active just learning the rooting/romming thing on it.

When i Rooted it i had to downgrade from 2.31.651.7 to 2.31.651.5 to do it, should i go through update to .7 and re root then proceed with romming?

also more newbness i've seen in some posts this mention of s-off, what does that refer to? Is s-off required to change the image and the animation that shows when it boots?

Thanks for the step by step so far user7618
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trip187:
I only suggested rom manager because if your recovery glitches you can easily use it to flash another recovery

Lots of people downgraded to root. No need to update and re-root.

Yes cm7 has moving apps to SD. And you can use Astro or Titanium to back up your apps and restore them to a different rom

S-off means even if your phone wont boot up and you can't get to your recovery then you will still be able to flash something (ex. A new recovery image or a RUU) Also can flash splash screens and boot animations with it

Did I miss anything?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Yes, any 2.2+ ROM can natively install and move apps to the SD card. Also, yes changing ROMs will change which programs are on the phone by default. This will be most noticeable when changing from a Sense ROM to an AOSP ROM like CM7. AOSP ROMs come with vanilla android apps--that means no Sprint Apps and all that.

Nope, no point in doing that. The main objective in rooting is to gain control over your device. With that control, usually the next objective is to install a custom recovery. And with that custom recovery you are free to install any ROM you want.

You're still new to modding, I wouldn't worry about it. But to answer your question it allows you to flash any recovery, system, radio, etc image to your phone from hboot, and can be used as an emergency rescue tool in case you ever screw up your recovery or anything else.

Also just as an FYI, there are only 2 ways that I know of to brick your phone: 1) flash wrong radio or bad radio or flash radio incorrectly, and 2) flash wrong SPL or bad SPL or flash SPL incorrectly. ROMs do not ever change either of these. Remember, as long as you can turn on your phone and boot to recovery (home+power), you are more than safe!!
