[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattjac1:
Hi I'm a new member,

I rooted my fascinate easily enough. Then searching and learning about ROMs and Kernels I decided to do use ODIN CWM Recovery to 'backup' or whatever most forums tell you to before installing a new ROM. Point is my phone is stuck in manual boot mode and I cannot undo it.

I have tried multiple times using ODIN plus the four stock files

Stock-i500-VZW-Kernel.tar.md5

Stock-i500-VZW-pit.pit

Stock-i500-VZW-Recovery.tar.md5

Stock-i500-VZW-System.tar.md5

(I always would try to implement them in order pit/system, pit/kernel, pit/recovery)

Unfortunately after the first one (pit/system) ODIN says the process fails, I go ahead with the other two and they both amount to nothing happening. My phone does not reset or do anything for this matter and I am forced to shut down ODIN and unplug my phone (upon which it dies with no battery).

Then I put back in the battery and Im back to before in manual boot mode with

Reboot system Now

Apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory rset

wipe cache partition

Btw wiped data and wiped cache and it didn't help me =(.

Please someone help me, I really don't want this new phone to be dead... Thanks in advance

Oh and when I press "apply sdcard:update.zip" I receive

E:Can't mount \dev\block\vold\179:9

(No such file or directory)

E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip

Installation aborted.

I really don't care at all about keeping the phone rooted or not or whatever. I just want to be able to make calls again!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blandj:
So it looks like you're stuck in blue recovery ... sounds like something that Odining a stock package should fix. :)

Here is a nice thread for getting back to stock (it's a sticky in the general section). The packages include system, recovery, kernel, and radio in a single file (I've actually never odin'd four separate files to get back to stock, or even ever flashed a system-only file), though no pit file.

So open up odin with your phone in download mode (with the battery out, otherwise there's a small chance of odin stalling at the end), and use:

- either the DI01 all-in-one, EB01 all-in-one, or this DL09 package in PDA

- the pit file in PIT (the link says DI01/EB01 but it also works with DL09)

- check "re-partition" if it isn't already checked

- run odin and hopefully in five minutes your phone will work again :) If for some reason it doesn't, that thread has instructions for using heimdall, although I've never had to resort to it.

So try this and see if it works! (For which package to use, I'd suggest trying DL09 first (since you'll need it to get to the official froyo build) and DI01 if that fails. If you're wondering whether DL09+pit actually works, I've used it to get out of a "stuck in blue recovery after odining stuff" situation myself :rolleyes: so yes, it works.)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattjac1:
Thank you for the response! It's encouraging to hear any support and I think yours is promising.

So unfortunately I tried D101 and no go. Turns out this was before I realized this was for 2.1 and I'd prefer 2.2 for the upgrades. Although would you suggest 2.1 for the purpose of rooting/ROMing/Kerneling in the future? I ask because I'm slowly gaining confidence that after fixing this I might be willing to try this again...

Odin (1.7 -> I decided at your poster friend's advice to upgrade from 1.3) worked well said 'pass' and everything. Unfortunately when booting my phone it went straight to the boot screen as always.

Meanwhile I'm downloading the EB01 and your suggested DL09 to test those two.

Hopefully one of those will work but if not, I guess I'll try that heimdall technique the poster suggested in the other forum. Hopefully not tho b/c it looks a bit more complicated.

I'll let ya know if one of these others works.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattjac1:
Yes it worked!! Thank you so much! I would buy you a round at the ale house if I could!

After running EB01 it worked (with the pit file going all the way back to factory settings). So I'm not sure what this means - maybe since it was after upgrading to 2.2 that my phone bugged out, it could only be restored to the 2.2 state which is EB01?? Idk, thanks anways.

Oh ya for the future if I try do this again - would you suggest I stay away from ROM Manager for backing up, which I believe is what started this problem in the first place? It seemed like ODIN did a fine job of managing my OS. Any thoughts? Thankss!!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandelay440:
Definately stay away from rom manager cwm if you have the voodoo lagfix enabled, but since all the new fascinate roms are edify scripted, flashing through cwm in rom manager would be ok.

Hi there guys, i cant get Facebook to sync with the account and sync section of my phone. I press to add it but nothing happens. So i cant use my friends display images for their contact pics on my phone or have there facebooks in there contact information.

Brand New NS4G, not even rooted or messed with.

Edit: Did google lock that feature down?! Why the fu....you know what..no...I wont rage. I just dont understand a phone thats even fully supported to be open by google would have...a feature such as that locked off.
[Nexus S General] Rem3Dy:
Noob.
[Nexus S General] JWhipple:
What's worse is that the "other" fully supported Google phone, the Nexus One, still has the Facebook contacts integration.
[Nexus S General] XxsydenxX:
Go troll your evo section please and thank you.

I dont understand what could have possibly possessed google to stop Facebook integration.

Yeah...the nexus one still has full integration... is there any way around this?

[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
Like the other guy said wait for cm7 to get that intergration back.
[Nexus S General] Longcat14:
All us Sprint people will be gone once we get our own forum (can't wait to get my NS4G).
[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
Yeah, Google did. Download syncmypix (sp.?) on the Market and it will sync them. But what pisses me off is that I need their NUMBERS... I'm going to have to add some people manually... gah

You might have noticed I thanked your comment. It was because it is a perfect example of how to not follow the rules here. Thanks for that!
[Nexus S General] pymon:
Facebook Integration

Google has removed the integration on it for now. When it is reinstated it will allow Google to have access to your friends profile pictures even when you do not have Facebook integrated on your phone. Google wanted to be able to have more open access to Facebook's information rather than only gaining that information when the phone was synced with Facebook. So when Facebook syncing resumes your Google contact list will pull you Facebook friend's profile pictures will be integrated with your google contact from then on. They are wanting to be able to keep all this information on hand so there is no need to re sync every time there is an update.

[Defy General] enzo887:
can we update our devices from other countries? (eg from greece)
[Defy General] Muznyu:
If you have FR coded (french) software on your phone, you can update via Motorola Software Update. If not you have to wait to get the update for your region. The other possibility is to use RSD Lite and flash sbf directly (linked in this topic), but be careful because this can lead to warranty execution. If you want to keep your phone downgradeable you can use a nandroid backup.
[Defy General] iamnik:
The motorola bloke is saying wait for it in your country. Shouldn't take that long now.

local motorola covers with warranty all devices with official roms, not only these which are bought from the official dealer.

if a flash the FR rom, i will able to reflash the central europe one when it is available?
[Defy General] Muznyu:
I'm pretty sure you'll be able to flash any of the official Froyos over this version, I already tried it with the Nordic one. I think there'll be not much differences between the official softwares, except blur/deblur and some regional stuff, so changing ROMs won't be a problem. :)
[Defy General] enzo887:
thank you. i'll flash it right now!

can i uninstall blur services with titanium backup? i don't want to install tweaked rom. this is a question for devellopers thread but i am not post here.
[Defy General] Muznyu:
Yes you can. :) If you are not sure what to remove just freeze the chosen application first.

I am new to XDA forum. I am using desire hd ( temp rooted)and read in some forum that i cannot upgrate to 2.3 version unless i do have all stock apps in the phone. Is this true? I am in Dubai and still not get the update via OTA (maybe they are onto the process of rolling it out) but bit worried about this. I have deleted this Amazon mp3 from my phone using the Titanium backup software and cannot retrive it from the backup.

Please can you help me? Appreciate your help on this.

EDITED

Okay, so since root for our S-ON IS's is taking a while, i m sure there are impatient people like my self who want root ASAP.

I was wondering if Indian users here would be interested in pitching in and ordering an XTC Clip to do the needful :P

We could courier it to each other or sell it in ebay by reducing the cost by 415 INR each time it passes on to the next user.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

People willing so far : 17

: siddroid, eternalhate, nayak.aj, akkin1080, formula1, nikhil007mmus,craynet, amity2kare, ankanb, ragapa97, madhan_raj, incredible.razz, telectroguy, f!rstbl00d, Ameet, ragapa97,

Amruthhr .

Current cost per member for XTC-clip : 415 INR approx

I have taken out info about the PAYG since it would work out more expensive for each individual due to credit purchase at this point of time considering we have enough users

Now for the important part,

I will be ordering the clip today from Raskal, unless Nik_immy would sell us his ref : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14176251&postcount=51 I have mailed him about it and awaiting his reply

LETS GET THIS DONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

doesn't seem like a very plausible idea, but worth a shot.:confused:

I am willing as well (provided we have >=15 users). Even 10 willing users implies that the cost would come down to 800-900 bucks (include shipping etc).

I dont own IS yet but thinking of it. Pretty happy with Desire for now.

I was thinking a better way would be if the exchange is made through ebay paisapay with reduction of 600 rupees as it is passed on. that way everyone can eventually make it worth 600 bucks with safety. just sayin...:cool:

Okay guys .... some new info has come to my attention....

Raskal from http://phone-tools.cn has come up with an XTC Clip PAYG ... ie Pay As You Go ...

Although it has not been released to the public ( just beta testers ) yet, i think the smarter option would be to wait for this

http://forums.phone-tools.cn/showthread.php/37190-Introducing-XTC-quot-pay-as-you-go-quot-the-cheapest-solution-for-S-OFF-lovers

it costs a fraction of the price of the XTC and we can 'recharge' it with credits as needed.

we have enough people to make this economical... now we just have to wait for the release :D:D:D

well S-ON basically means ur boot loader is locked whch in turn does not give u access to change the system files of the Android OS.

which means we cannot root our phones ( root directory access ) to flash custom kernelsn roms, radios which give us a much greater control over our phones hardware, improve performance, tweek ... basically give us FULL control over our phones as a super user ( SU in linux )

which is where the XTC clip comes in to S-OFF our phones so we can root :)

:) hope that helps

Cool.. added... nd i agree.. its about time we chip in and get this thing done !

You really should wait and not buy the XTC Clip yet.. waste of money now IMO.

The bootloader policy has been removed.. phones should be unlocked.. new phones definitely.. hopefully old phones too else we'll simply create another grievance posting fest on HTC's Facebook.

If the phone is unlocked, you really don't need this any more :)
[HTC Incredible S] akkin1080:
I think we have to buy right now and make our devices S-OFF. I have message from HTC today morning that they do not have Bootloader unlock code.

Please check the response from HTC:

"To clarify your issue, you stated that: you want Boot loader unlocked code for your HTC Incredible S .

In this regard we would like to intimate you that you may to root you HTC Incredible S but we are not assure that it will work or not and also it may harm your device. HTC don’t have any Boot Loader unlock code for the customers."

This could go both ways John, either HTC releases a patch which will make our devices S-Off ( which could possiblely take moths ) or HTC ignores us existing customers and unlocks brand new devices.....

it can go either way.
