[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] wikchi:
In the first couple of weeks i had the phone without a screen protector and condom it was a VERY durable and flexible but impossible to break or even scratch.

The screen is exceptionally strong.

Sure the build quality overall is nowhere near the phones it took 'inspiration' from (especially a weak back cover, usually a weak point in most, if not all mobiles) but in its simplicity its quite ergonomic and surprisingly strong little phone.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Pisari:
I have used this Insmat screen protector for few weeks and it's really good. Why not to use a protector? ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kourampies:
Seems really strong. Until my screen protector arrived from ebay, It didnt get any scratches from coins, keys and falling to the floor.

I wish I could find a link (I'll keep trying), but I got a dock that holds three phones, and conceals the charging cords within the base. Have had it for years now - generic desktop docks are best.

wait, internet from your phone to a wifi signal right?
[General Questions and Answers] Tylerjd:
Doubtful, I	remember on my old WinMo 5 you could do that but I don't think you can do that on any device now. What you could do is get a wifi card for your computer (if you don't already have one), put your card in what is known as ad-hoc mode, and share your internets from there. If you need help, google it, there are plenty of guides online how to do it for Windows, mac, and linux.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbeez:
I'm coming from a samsung vibrant on tmobile, I never used fastboot with my vibrant. I used adb alot, and this whole fastboot is new to me.

Is this something specific to sprint or specific to the nexus S bootloader?

on my vib I just rooted it and downloaded rom manager, went into the app and told it to flash the recovery and off I go, doesn't seem to be the case here. Here I use fastboot to flash an image, and it doesn't stick around although I heard theres a way to do it, maybe renaming the crespo image file or moving a script on the filesystem. Just trying to figure out the basics as to how they would relate to how I've been doing things for months already on the vibrant, was surprised that it was this different being from the same manufacturer.

-J
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
Fastboot is an open source utility for flashing. Once rooted you can use rom manager like any other phone. It's not necessary to use an exploit to gain root and then flash a recovery like most phones, you can just unlock the bootloader and flash it directly using fastboot. From there you can flash the such binary and do whatever you please.

There is a script that runs on boot and restores the stock recovery, /etc/install-recovery.sh. After you flash the su binary just rename this or delete it and your recovery will not be overwritten on boot.
[Xoom General] 911junkie:
Updated to 3.1, rooted following P3Droid's manual update process. Flashed the latest recovery image that skips media. Can't seem to see my SDcard at all. External shows nothing (directory exists but no contents). No SDCard2 either. ??

Do I have to wait for an updated kernel? Seems that most have retained the ability to see/modify their SDcard yet I cannot. ?? TIA.
[Xoom General] 911junkie:
Update: I can boot up recovery and can browse the SDCard but have no way to mount it.

If I try to mount USB storage through CWM nothing happens.

EDIT: USB mount now works. ?? I can now view contents and add/remove but only through CWM.

SDcard2 and external show nothing when Xoom is booted up and browsing through Windows.

In summary, I can't view the contents of the card unless I mount USB storage in CWM. No way to manipulate SDCard while xoom is booted up.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Xoom General] tony710:
The Xoom will only see the SD Card while in Honeycomb if you've flashed BRD's update.zip.

He customized it to mount it at /sdcard/external/

The recovery won't change anything inside the OS, that's why the recovery can see it and interact with it but the OS can't.
[Xoom General] 911junkie:
When I attempted to flash his update.zip I got stuck at the Dual Core logo. :-(
[Xoom General] Ericj1186:
I updated to Tiamet 1.4.1, but when I did it said there was an error with my Wi-Fi. (it says "Wifi" then "Error" on the next line). Will this recovery fix that?
[Xoom General] tony710:
You need to wipe data (factory reset) AFTER flashing his rom or you get stuck.

Make sure you have the recovery in his thread when you do this though or else it will wipe the /sdcard (built in storage)

Recovery will not affect anything to do with the OS
[Xoom General] Ericj1186:
Dang. How can I fix my WiFi issue then? Is it directly related to the kernel? If so, can I fix it by going back to an older one? I used to Kernel Manager to update.
[Xoom General] tony710:
I would just try to flash the kernel again. If you're still on 3.0 try BRDs kernel and flash through recovery.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pkley:
I unlocked the phone way back to flash a radio, never needed the sim unlock. Is there a way to tell that it is unlocked? I'm about to ship it overseas and want to make sure it's unlocked...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
Put in a sim card from another carrier. But if you bought the unlocker (not just hard spl, but the unlocker), then I'd say it's a pretty good bet that it worked. If the security unlock worked (check the bootloader), then I think the sim unlock must've worked as well.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pkley:
I'm certain the unlocker worked as I was flashing non-AT&T radios. So the SIM unlock was integral to the unlocker and no additional work is needed when putting in the sim card?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
I don't remember the exact order, but step 1 of the unlocker is to flash hard spl, I think step 2 may do the sim unlock, and then step 3 security unlocks the phone so you can flash diamond, HD and a few other radios from other devices (the carrier doesn't matter for radio flashing, it's the device). It also CID unlocks the phone right at the end (where you type in a new carrier id, and I think 000000 is unlocked). You can probably check the unlocker thread, but if you're security unlocked (which is easy to check), then I'm pretty sure you're sim unlocked.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaron.Browne:
Problem: Whenever I boot my phone after the galaxy S logo dissapears the screen stays black, while the backlight on the touch sensitive buttons still come on.

So here is my background on what I have done with the phone

- It is on 2.1 Eclair

- Everything was fine. I had it rooted and running Bionix.

- When the problem started was when I was trying to install a matrix boot image, and a theme for Bionix.

- First symptons would it wouldnt get past the Vibrant (text) startup screen.

- In response I Restored to the Clockwork mod Restore which would have brang my phone back to normal.

- It did bring my phone back to normal except for one thing, there was a bug that said my cards were full and couldnt install any apps.

- So I went back into clockwork mod recovery and figured out quickly it didnt recognize my sd ext. But when my phone was on it did.

I understand that this problem is very out of now where and probably isnt very solveable with just a one click program. But I would be very thankful if anyone could give me any kind of information on this. Even if it is just saying "Its a problem with your Kernel". AlthoughI hope to see downloads and full instructions.

Thank for reading this.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hd2life:
You could Odin back to stock 2.1, but first turn off lag fix if there is one via voodoo app.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explodingboy70:
You want to ODIN using stock firmware and the 512 pit file. This will repartition your internal SD. You will (should) not lose personal data such as pictures, music, files.... You ended up trying to flash a theme or bootanimation that was not compatiable and when you restored traces of it have been left behind.

ODIN is the best method in these situations. Note that in rare cases it may be neccessary to do a full SD reformat.

The first thing you want to do is back everything up to your computer. All those pictures, music anything you want saved and then and only then try the odin with 512 pit.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:

Thanks for referring, I've also included the files in the guide just in case.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
I certainly hope you aren't in a partitioning brick situation. I've seen this now twice and both were running Bionix 1.3.1 w/ Voodoo enabled and both somehow got certain bml partitions in an recognizable format by CWM and the Android OS. So far it hasn't been fixable with conventional flashing and PIT repartitioning. I will be trying a full JTAG re-write on one of the customer's phones tonight. I'll report back to this thread whether a JTAG session in which I fully re-write all addresses in the NAND block was able to fix this.

This marks the 3rd instance of what I'm referring to as partitioning bricking that was involved on a Vibrant that was running Bionix 1.3.1 at the time of the brick. I'm not blaming the ROM or the developer as I have used it with no issues and it's a great piece of work but perhaps the CWM packaged with it is allowing users to do things they don't intend to do causing this issue.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaron.Browne:
Thank you everyone very much for all the information and I was able to restore my phone back to stock 2.1 Eclair and then I flashed the rom bionix onto it.

I have given thanks to everyone that has posted from here on up ^^

Also if anyone is stuck in this situation also and Is reading this thing saying "what the heck I have no idea what to do". Just message me and I could full througho instructions.

Once again thank everyone and I have solved my problem. I am pretty sure it was the boot logo that made it happen.
