[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
you used teh wroing stock rom. you cant just use any stock rom, it must be correct for your serial number. (region and carrier, to be more precise)

go to htc.com choose your region, - support - downloads - and find a rom download that accepts your serial number, flash that from sd card.

(also, next time you post a question, lots of info, please, , , phone model ((regular or tmous)) rom you tried to flash (full filename) makes it easier to get the correct help.)

Dear samsamuel

I m sincerely thank full for such a nice advice and since i read ur comments i am looking for the original stock rom for my mobile but surfing almost with every regoin on Htc web site i couldnt find it and I always get the error

"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device" i would seriosly appreciate if you please manage to provide me with the original stock rom i m giving the S/N number below

S/N :HT9BXNW05370
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
Ok, forget about the correct stock, get hspl4, bootloader, USB, run hspl4, choose 2.08.hspl. you can now flash any stock rom over USB. (If you want to use a 3.14 rom choose 3.03.hspl instead of 2.08.hspl.)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mani00007:

[Dell Streak 7] sgrant:
I have had my Streak 7 for a couple of months now, and yesterday the screen went off only on the right hand side for a few seconds and came right back on.

Now today I have a faint line right up the middle of the screen, and it is visible no matter what is displayed.

It is noticeable, but faint, and the device can be used still without issue. I wonder if I should have Dell replace the Streak now, or should I wait a while before calling them on the warranty?
[Dell Streak 7] chamberc:
Yep, happened to me and I had to return it. Basically, it goes away after it is on for a while, but when coming from a coal soak start, it's there... if you'll look carefully, every other row of pixels is off.

Did you by chance knock it or drop it a little?
[Dell Streak 7] sgrant:
I didn't knock it or drop it at all. At least that I know of.

Did Dell give you any trouble sending a replacement?
[Dell Streak 7] chamberc:
No real hassle, although they had never heard of the issue. Mine occured after about a 4 inch drop to my desk.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badasschris:
Hi if someone can help id really apprteciate it. Dunno why this is confusing me so much.

Anyway I want to put stock uk firmware on my galaxy s so I can sell. Pretty sure it was the unlocked stock firmware.

I tried doing the reg hack on kies - it finds update and then says device version wrong.

I tried using spooffw - for some reason it updates the pda ok but doesnt update phone/csc (click ok and it reverts back to whatever it was on before)

I tried installing JM1 from samfirmwares and whent into kies and again says cannot update on this device.

Can anyone tell me what I need to flash onto this bloody phone so I can get kies to upgrade to the oficial fw.

I would like to put on a 2.1 rom and then have kies upgrade then I know its stock. I downloaded jf3 but that didnt come with phone or csc ? where would I get them?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taha_e:
first of all its not a bloody phone :D

then why you want to use kies? you can flash a rom by odin easily, just do some study for how to flash a rom and proceed,

kies sometimes have strange behaviours, personally I never used kies after I tried it once
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
I take it you want not the stock rom but the rom provided by the phone provider .

Two routes one replace the original rom you saved .

two flash stock rom lower version than current rom on Kies . Use a method of spoofing the correct codes for the original product .

Kies only updates if the correct codes for product firmware device and hardware are showing . Once you go the unofficial flashing firmware route Kies may not find these codes until you find the correct codes .

Stock = Samsung firmware Original = network branded that came with the phone .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badasschris:
Hi flashing a rom isn't the problem but flashing a rom that makes my i9000 appear un tainted by custom roms etc is where I'm having the difficulty. I wanted to do the final update via kies then I would know that kies thinks my phone has genuine firmware. If it wont update via kies then this is a clear message that the phone has been tampered with and I may not get the money from the company.

You are right I want original firmware. Main problem is I have no idea what this would have been. I didn't make a copy as my first upgrade involved doing a kies reg hack before there were any custom roms and I stupidly didn't take note of what I was currently on. What I do know is that my phone has never had any operator logos or software on it. (unlike my gs2)

I have tried doing the reg hack on kies 2.0 but apparently thats not properly supported yet (can I use an older kies 1.5 or something? or will it ask to be upgraded?)

I have tried using spooffw but step 3 (where you set phone and csc) doesnt work, when you press ok is reverts back to whatever it had on before no matter the value you enter.

Does anyone know of an o2 stock firmware that has been uploaded somewhere? ideally with pit, csc modem and pda. then I can hopefully use odin and then confirm that all is ok in kies?

Or if I am going to go the spoof route (probably with kies 1.5 as 2 is not playing ball) does anyone know what values I should use for each?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
well on www.samfirmware.com there is a list right at the bottom for provider FW, maybe one of them is o2 firmware, check it and see if any of them stand out as the one you had firstly.

why do you need o2 firmware specifically ??

you can sell your phone with JPY 2.2.1 stock and no one would be the wiser .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badasschris:
jpy? so is that a firmware you could actually get on a device brought in uk? which specific download should I choose? Once downloaded and flashed if I connect to kies will it be able to do future updates?

EDIT woohoo I did as you said and used UK JPY found here

http://www.multiupload.com/PZNPALHVDW

and its now being picked up in kies saying latest firmware installed. Excellent now I can sell it without worrying.

bit sad it was definately the best phone ive owned and there still doesnt seem to be much out there that can push it to its limits (let alone the s2) still the extra screen size and better pixel layout are definately worth the upgrade.

Thanks everyone for your help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
If thats not it i uploaded O2 JPY within the last month linked in two posts .Dont know where though .Its probably mine on Sammy anyway .

Flashed direct as PDA via Odin . If problems after with modem . Unzip file extract modem flash file again as PDA and also the modem file is what i did .

Good review!
[Nexus One Accessories] puttytatko:
Nice review.. I'm thinking of getting 32GB class 10 myself this'll help me lots.. hey can you tell me what speeds you get on usb mounting in android..not through recovery..Its frustrating to have USB writes less than an MB/s and have a class 10 card..
[Nexus One Accessories] houzuoguo:
yeah that speed is very slow, no matter how good the card is, so i never use that way to transfer files :) i always take my SD out and put it into a card reader.
[Nexus One Accessories] puttytatko:
I actually tried pershoot's kernel right after the first post and then found it to be extremely good at USB transfers..even idling current is at an all time low..iR's and Redstar's used to give me about 105-115 mA on idle and screen on but pershoot's is giving 80-90!! and ROCK STABLE too!! no hiccups or jerky scrolling on any screen.. hell of an improvement.. :D:D
[Nexus One Accessories] dchn2:
may i ask if there is any difference in performance if the app partition is set as ext2, ext3, or ext4?
[Nexus One Accessories] rattking:
Thanks for the post. It got me going in the right direction.

32k clusters have mostly corrected the crashing and locking up my phone was doing with a new Wintec 32GB Class 10 card.

strangely If I create a file system in linux with

mkfs.vfat -s 32 -S 512 -n "Sdcard" /dev/sdc1 it results in 16k clusters..

mkfs.vfat -s 32 -S 1024 results in 32k clusters but windows XP can not access this file system and asks me to format

mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1 results in 16k clusters

I had to use fat32format.exe on a windows machine to get 32k clusters with 512 bytes per logical sector that work both in Windows and Linux

so my question is how would I use mkfs.vfart to make a file system with 32k clusters that windows can read as well?

edit: my opinion on the ext question is that ext2 has a leg up on speed because it does not journal data and spends less time writing. however most people care about the integrity of there data and fsck is a terrible use of battery.. it seems the best of both worlds is ext4 with the mount options noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,data=ordered as most roms now use
[Nexus One Accessories] ke3pup:
I'm so glad i came across your post, I have the same sdcard as yours and had exact same issues as you had post. I was starting to believe my phone is faulty until reading your post pin pointed to the problem.

So i Formatted with 64KB allocation size, 27GB FAT32, 2.5GB Ext4 and 500MB Swap. I can already tell the phone is snappier, gone the reboots , app freezes ..etc.

UPDATE:

So i jumped the gun. Having not done anything about the voltage table i'm seeing the Freezes/Reboots time and time again. @houzuoguo Where can i find a voltage table that will work with my SGS II KE7 CF-Root?
[Nexus One Accessories] houzuoguo:
:D do you know... idle current should normally be below 20mAh, otherwise it means that your phone doesn't "sleep", something prevents it from sleeping... nightmares probably.

my phone uses about 4-9 mAh when idle.
[Nexus One Accessories] houzuoguo:
i've read a lot of posts, people don't recommend using ext4 for flash storage since ext4 read/write more while enhance file system integrity, however i have not read anyone who says ext 4 runs slower.

these file systems are very much compatible with each other so basically i can say that their performance is very close.
[Nexus One Accessories] houzuoguo:
I in fact have noticed that lowering voltage still works fine with the card, however previously i could lower voltage by 100mV, now i can only lower it by 75mV, and the card still runs stable.

i don't have a SGS2 (i really want one :D) so i'm afraid that i don't know much about android development of the phone.

Voltage table is built into kernel, some kernels support you to modify voltage table, while some others do not. First you need to make sure that the kernel you're using supports customizable voltage-table. then i suggest you to look into your phone's kernel's code, find out the default voltage table, and make changes accordingly.
[Nexus One Accessories] pi-rho:
I've got the same card. I haven't noticed any bad issues. Phone is noticeably faster than with a class 4.

CyanogenMod 7 nightly

0 swap

1024mb ext4

[Nexus One Accessories] puttytatko:
Yeah its giving less than 6mA with screen off and sleeping... the less than 85mA is when the screen is on and no activity.. the iR or RedStar kernels have never given that much of an improvement..
[Nexus One Accessories] MATPOC:
I am using Lexar 16GB Class 6 MicroSHDC. Transfer rate from PC by USB cable was ~ 1Mbyte/sec. Some days ago I installed CyanogenMod-7.1 for Nexus One and transfer rate dropped to ~700 Kbyte/sec. So you can try another ROM.
[Nexus One Accessories] Silverexp:
Well I just bought an ADATA 32GB class 10 and I’m having issues. It’s formatted fat32 w/the 32kb (did try 64kb) cluster, but any time I move data into the EXT3 or EXT4 partition that’s when the issues come up. I can use my ADATA 16GB class 10 without any problems. My ADATA 32GB class 4 just went bad, so that’s RMA. There were never any issues with that card. I did have a Patriot 32GB class 10 for a while, but lost it & that one never worked out either. If anyone has any other ideas I should try before I return this card, I'll try it.

UPDATE: Official response from ADATA “ split partitions are not guaranteed, EXT as a secondary partition is very complicated..”

What tool are you using to adjust the cluster size to 64kb? I've got a couple SD card formatting utilities but I don't see that option anywhere, and they seem to default to 32kb.

When the phone first came out, the Software Update Check (Settings>Software update>Software update check) returned an error. Now it says "Current version is the latest version." Hopefully that's in preparation for an OTA push of the Gingerbread update. It can't get here soon enough.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mashix:
Few hours ago i checked it now it was giving me authorization errors and time outs.

now i see it says latest update which means they are closing up on the gingerbread update :D i hope "Ice Cream" is available soon after that. - Side note: it was noted that Honey Comb was like Windows Vista (bug wise etc, which means "Ice Cream" is the Windows 7 of Android!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
I don't know if it's possible, but it would behoove T-Mo/LG to get a bug fixing update out in the wild before most early adopters 14 remorse windows are up. I know some of you bought on launch day, but some of us waited. I myself have until a week from today.

Incidentally, I'm pretty sure what we really want on our G2xs is Android 2.3.4, still called Gingerbread. Honeycomb is for tablets.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laker666:
I'm willing to bet its a problem for the minority of owners of this phone. The bugs that is
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
Are you out of your mind? Look at the percentage of threads on the first page. 3/4 are devoted to problems. Here's a quick recap:

1) Screen bleeding

2) Wi-Fi either not connecting, dropping connections, or disabling profiles

3) Bluetooth not retaining profiles, not reconnecting, or not holding a connection

4) Reboots which LG acknowledged as a s/w problem after months of O2X complaints

5) "System checking..." forcing a hard reset at boot up

6) T-Mobile apps opening a 4G connection when Wi-Fi's enabled

We're all on the same ROM and radio and the majority of this stuff isn't hardware. So the "minority" to me are people who haven't really tried to use the functions above heavily and don't know they have problems.

FYI LG is in charge of the software update not Tmobile. I recieved an email from an LG service rep and it said "As far as I know, our technicians are under review for the 2.3 Android version." This was said on a support email I had sent to LG. My G2x seems struggle to keep a good connection, especially in my home. I keep losing the signal and it disconnects.

Evening all,

I am getting very frustrated with my DroidX, since I cannot seem to get it rooted. I believe the crux of my problem lies in that I cannot seem to keep USB Debugging active, even though its enabled. It seems to show up once in awhile, and then just disappears. This does not allow rooters like Z4 to do its job.

I was running the Moto version 5 USB drivers, but backed down to the 4.9 USB drivers and still no luck. Has anyone run into this and can you guide me in rectifying this?

Thanks,

Steve

Root your phone without your computer - This would be the path someone on a Mac could take or someone without access to a computer.

This works for the DX and D2 phone, won't work for the D1

Visit the market and get the free Android Terminal Emulator installed.

Visit the market and make sure you have Astro installed.

Grab rageagainsthecage.zip with your phone http://www.droidforums.net/forum/at...s-root-them-unroot-them-rageagainsthecage.zip

Use Astro to navigate to the /sdcard/download folder

Long press on the rageagainstthecage.zip file and "extract to this directory"

The 4 files, from the zip file should now be in the /sdcard/download folder (rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin, su, superuser.apk and busybox.

What are we going to do?

Steps 1- 5: Change to the /tmp folder on your phone, copy the file to the tmp directory, change its permissions. run it, and wait.

Step 6: make sure we can proceed

Steps 7 - 14: make system read-writable, copy the superuser. su and busybox files to where they need to go, use chmode to change their permissions, then make the system folder read-only, and exit Terminal Emulator.

If you want to know more about the commands being used here: cd, cp, chmod, mount, and exit are all Linux commands you can look up on your favorite search engine.

Okay, let's do it - type the blue parts in Terminal Emulator

cd /tmp

cp /sdcard/download/rage*.bin /tmp/

chmod 777 rage*.bin

./rage*.bin

This will take some time, just wait for the $ to show up so you know it is done.

Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Terminal Emulator > and Force Stop the application

Sanity check - Go into Terminal Emulator again and make sure you have a # symbol as a prompt. If so you are ready to proceed.

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

cp /sdcard/download/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk

cp /sdcard/download/su /system/bin/su

cp /sdcard/download/busybox /system/bin/busybox

chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox

mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

exit
[Droid X General] Barkleyfan:
For USB debugging, it might be your usb connection type. Try changing it to computer, mass storage, etc, until you find what's stable. I used Z4root when I did mine. Took like 2 minutes, and no computer, no terminal commands, true one-click root. Don't have the APK anymore, since I've moved on to the Bolt, sorry. But a google search should pull it up.

I've been looking at this tablet for some time now, but I've begun to do some research on a new video camera and was wondering if it's possible for the Transformer to read AVCHD files coming off of an SD Card. I'll be traveling quite a bit this summer and would like to edit video files on the go with a tablet rather than my laptop, but seeing as how large the files can be and how there's been some issues with HD video playback from the start with this, I'm worried this may not be able to work. Anyone know if it's possible? If there's even an app that can convert the files to something that would play nice with the Transformer I'd take that. Thanks in advance!
