[HTC Inspire 4G] appybase:
My HTC Inspire fell in water. I Immediately took battery out. After reading few user groups, I kept my phone in the rice bag for a day.

•	Well, it is stuck on HBOOT Screen.

•	I cannot use my volume up or down buttons.

•	I can use Power button and it goes through checks to find PD98IMG.zip file.

•	I downloaded it and copied on the micro SD card.

•	Now it goes through blue progress bar and then through yellow progress bar on the top right.

•	After this it gets stuck with this message: "Model ID incorrect! Update Fail! Press <POWER> to reboot."

•	I am stuck in this cycle. It keeps doing the same thing every time.

I am not trying to root the phone. I read somewhere about Gold Card but that won't work for me because when I connect Inspire to PC, it does not show me a micro SD drive. It seems it is now getting connected as a mounted disk.

Any suggestion from anybody?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Only thing I would suggest is to download attn1's stock rom that's rooted and save the ruu to the root of SD card. But if I was u,maybe get another SD card to flash the ruu. Rename the ruu to PD98IMG.zip and make sure the md5 is correct,to ensure a good download. Flash into hboot and see if it recognizes and flash away. That's what I would do
[HTC Inspire 4G] appybase:
Ok... I'll try that tonight. Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
No problem let me know how it goes
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Which pd98img are you using? If you are s-on then only a signed HTC zip will work, like the original stock unrooted ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
True u never did state weather u was rooted or not
[HTC Inspire 4G] appybase:
I have not rooted. I'll try to find original stock unrooted ROM.

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] appybase:
Not sure if I am trying with the correct programs.

I tried RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_2 6.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed.exe

But no success as the phone is not getting connected to the pc. I get error 170 - USB connection error.

I see S-ON on the HBOOT screen. It has "HBOOT USB PLUG" but still can't see from my computer.

Any pointer to signed HTC ROM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Yup, download it here
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Note: with S-ON, you'll need a gold card to install that zip.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
True, I forgot about that. I have been S-Off since release day, lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] appybase:
So with S-ON, I need gold card... but my phone is not detected when I connect to computer. So that means I cannot make a gold card. Correct?

Any other way I can make it S-OFF?

Or Any way I can have phone connect to computer? HBOOT screen does get a message HBOOT USB Plus but that's all. It does not get mounted as a disk to the computer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Do you have another Android? A gold card can be made with any device that supports reading the SD Serial number.

It sounds like you probably have gunk or still have moisture in your vol-down button contacts. Do you have any of that computer dust-off spray? Try blowing the area around the VOL switch good. Maybe try to clean it with some 90% isopropanol and then blowing it down good.
[HTC Inspire 4G] appybase:
I didn't realize that another Android will work... I will definitely try that.

I appreciate everybody's help on this. I will try again tonight and update the thread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] appybase:
I had to try couple of sd cards. Looks like I got the gold card ready. I have PB98img.zip on it. Now I get a different error:

Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

Press <POWER> to reboot.

Some where I read I should try with PB99IMG.zip. I'll try to find that and try once more.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
No, that's a myth. It has to be PD98IMG.ZIP (I assume that's a typo) for the HBOOT to even load it. What version did you have on the phone before? What version are you trying to flash now? What is the ultimate goal here? Are you trying to get back to stock for an exchange?
[HTC Inspire 4G] appybase:
I am attaching the screen image of my phone screen.

Not sure what version I had earlier... but over the weekend, AT&T did send an upgrade.

Thanks...
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Did you try this already?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
That answered maybe one of my questions. Since you mentioned you had the update, I assume you've got the latest from HTC. Your picture confirms that you have the latest radio. Where did you get the PD98IMG you're trying to flash? What version is it?

I assume from the fact that it gives you that message, there is some valid firmware on the phone. Is the problem that you can't get past the HBOOT screen? I think maybe your VOL-DOWN key is stuck (or wet and making contact) preventing you from booting the main boot-img.

And last but not least, why are you trying to reflash a RUU? It appears that you have a valid flash or you wouldn't be getting the message from HBOOT. Is it because you're stuck on HBOOT?

What is your ultimate goal and what is actually happening that is preventing you from reaching that goal? I believe that it is just a stuck key.
[HTC Inspire 4G] appybase:
I am not trying to root the phone. Once it fell in water I dried the phone (took battery and sim/sd cards out). Also put in the rice bag for couple of days.

I am stuck on HBOOT screen. I just want to get past it. Unfortunately I am not able to use the volume up/down buttons and may that's the problem.

I have also used air spray/hair drier but no luck yet. The volume up/down buttons just don't work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
I confirmed this on my device. If I hold the VOL-DOWN key and power on, it acts as you are describing. It goes to HBOOT and nothing else will work until I release the key. I think you need to remove the volume switch and maybe try and dry it out better, or maybe place it in a warn oven for awhile, or maybe soak it in isopropanol (90% or better--available at most drug stores as rubbing alcohol) and blow it dry.

To remove the vol switch, see this video about 2:20 in:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfatoeWbMRk

You may get it to boot OK with the switch removed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Put that file that I gave you on not the sideloading one that regular one. Then open it in HBOOT
[HTC Inspire 4G] appybase:
I was able to take the volume button out but that didn't help. For some reason when I put the volume button back, for 10-15 seconds it started to load up with HTC logo and then AT&T Rethink Possible. After that it is back to where I was... on white HBOOT screen.

Looks like some connector issue near the volume button... I'll keep adjusting the button and see if it gets loaded.
[HTC Inspire 4G] appybase:
Finally it booted in safe mode and I can access apps. I restarted couple of more times. For some reason SIM card is not detected and so I can't use the phone as of yet. The same SIM card works fine in my old iPhone. So definitely something with the water/moisture still in the phone.

Will keep trying but looks positive so far...
[HTC Inspire 4G] appybase:
Phone is working fine now. It's been couple of hours and I am able to call and receive. Looks all good. Still not able to believe that it worked out... so keeping my fingers crossed.

I appreciate everyone's help on this... Thank you so much.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Glad to hear it. Hope it keeps up. It's nice to know that Inspires are resilient enough to bounce back from something like that.

hi,im thinking of rooting my experia play can u recommend the best option out there at the moment & is this the same as jailbreaking the iphone ?

does it allow free games/apps etc :confused:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
No rooting has nothing to do with piracy. The aim of rooting is to gain read/write access to /system :) fyi the mods make take offence and close this thread, if they think you are talking about pirate apps, as its not allowed here,
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
I would not say they're offended at all. If there was a FAQ about Android, that'd have a prominent place in the list.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2488575:
Android is actually awful. You can pirate with out even root. I am not telling you to pirate I am telling you that root is not for pirating. If you root to pirate and mess up your phone you deserve it.

Root is like administrator on windows.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
No need for root mate, just check market, lots of free apps/games :p

If one can afford this phone one can afford the price of games and apps if not this is the wrong phone to have.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zcksjdn:
Sorry to cross post, but I think this is correct place to ask.

I'd like to put a new stock version of Android on my T Mobile Nexus S. It currently has 2.3.4 Build GRJ22, and is Baseband I9020XXKD1. Are the following steps the way to build the latest stable release of Android and flash it to my Nexus S, overwriting everything currently on it and still have a usable phone? Will it also put a fresh copy of the stock boot loader?

source.android.com/source/downloading.html

source.android.com/source/building.html

note: I have compiled source before in linux but nothing ever related to a phone/mobile and am quite nervous since I can't afford to brick my phone. I'd be doing the above with Ubuntu 10.04LTS.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
Okay...I believe for CW you need to look in the "other" settings. I know CW has this option also...if you can't find it...just flash RA from within ROm Manager (RA has it as the last option under the Wipe settings...then flash CW again.

[Acer Iconia A500] nrage23:
If I recall correctly. You create a folder on the sdcard called notifications and put the sound file in it. You should then be able to assign it.
[Acer Iconia A500] spaanplaat:
You create a folder named media. In that folder a folder named audio. In that folder a folder notifications and ringtones. The files u put in the notifications folder you can use to select it for gmail and (tatataaa) notifications.

[Nexus S General] xManMythLegend:
Brand new Nexus S 4g on Sprint.

I have an N1 and as of today started getting random garbled texts like below.

Phone was bought and system update installed on Friday afternoon.

No "unusual" apps installed other than Handcent+emoji , and Pulse.

Tried installing GoogleVoice for it to work "the classic" way as described on these forums could that be causing an issue ?

The person with the Nexus S says they dont see those messages in there outgoing. Only recipients.
[Nexus S General] pgreeny69:
Yep definitely weird, I texted my sister yesterday using handcent and she replied saying it was all numbers and symbols, on my end it looked fine. I wonder if it was a handcent thing.
[Nexus S General] Brutus2TheMax:
Nope not a Handcent thing. I texted my boss and the next day he showed me it and said, "Dude. What the f*** is this ****...?" Hahahaha, I was using the stock messaging application. Hasn't done it since.
[Nexus S General] Brutus2TheMax:
So I just found the problem... It's only if the text is more than 160 characters long. I just tested it...
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
I same thing happened to me using the evo.
[Nexus S General] Brutus2TheMax:
Never had that problem when I use to send texts containing over 160 on my EVO
[Nexus S General] lopezpm:
This happened to me yesterday with a message over 160. Freaking weird. Is this a ginger bread "feature"?
[Nexus S General] eagercrow:
From what I hear it is a problem with CDMA, not sure what though. The way you can fix it is to go into your txt settings (I use handcent) and have messages longer than 160 characters broken up into multiple messages of 160 characters or less automatically. Or pay attention to your character count and break into a second message when it gets to 160.
[Nexus S General] AshsToAshs:
I had this problem when i was using Sprint Google Voice integration.

Once i disabled that integration, this problem (and many others) stopped.
[Nexus S General] lopezpm:
That's probably it. I had just flashed a Rom and forgot to check that. Thanks
[Nexus S General] jmoney579:
It's not so much a problem but a limitation of CDMA. GSM networks will automatically split messages up larger than 160 characters, CDMA can't do so effectively. I ran into the same problem when I installed handcent sms, since by default the feature to break apart messages is deactivated. If you're using the stock sms app then you won't have this problem since it limits any text being sent to 160 characters. If you want to send more you have to create a new message.
[Nexus S General] lopezpm:
That limitation is a problem :)
[Nexus S General] gasparzim:
I am not sure if it´s a limitation. I had a lot of those, not sure if any sms of mine reached more than 160 chars.

After googling it a lot, someone reported it as a bug in gingerbread, and it happens if you use accentuation.

I followed this, and never had any friend complaining of garbled SMS again.
[Nexus S General] xManMythLegend:
Interesting. I had them uninstall handcent and it stopped. But they also said theyve only been sending short messages.

Will try the character fix to see if it works.
[Nexus S General] Quis89:
I was having this issue and this resolved it for me.
[Nexus S General] gmap516:
Just happened to me. I enabled split SMS and we'll see what my friends say.
[Nexus S General] 3choBoomer:
I did not have this problem with my EVO 4G on Sprint, (using the stock sms or Go SMS Pro) but I am having it with my Nexus S using Go SMS Pro (stock sms app won't let me send more than 160 chars).
[Nexus S General] callmesaul8889:
I can confirm that having handcent split the message fixes this issue. I also have the .apk of the stock messaging app with similar settings to split the messages.

So I texted my brother earlier this morning and he said that it happened, but the weird thing is that afterwards my data stopped working.

So since I couldn't get it to work no matter what I did, I decided to wipe and reflashed my phone but it still doesn't work. Now i'm stuck with a phone that doesn't have any contacts, and no working data but i get texts fine, although I'm not sure if they send fine since i haven't tried. D:

So has anyone had this happen to them, if so do you have any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmestriner:
Hi all,

When Llama Location Based profiles released a new version on May 14th, I was unable to update it. All other apps that had updates updated fine.

Whenever I start the download, it says "download failed" immediately, then "starting download" and after a few seconds "download failed" again. In the notification bar I also don't see a notification about it being failed.

I tried downloading some other apps, and most download and install fine.

Here's what I tried so far, but all of it had no succes:

- Uninstall app (trying to reinstall, but hasn't worked, so now I've lost the app)

- Reboot

- Reboot into recovery, formatting cache and Dalvik cache

- use aCCleaner

- go to settings -> apps -> manage apps -> market -> delete cache, delete data

I'm using Elelinux 7.1.0 v2.3.

Recently, when I had to update the ROM, I had to do a factory reset. There were some apps I copied to SD, but I guess these settings were lost when doing factory reset. I deleted everything that was in the ".android_secure" folder. Is it possible that this is a source of the problem?

If not, then what is it?

Cheers,

Danny
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jambo89liam:
Just got my transformer today, its awesome. I've found one slight annoyance, being that the internal storage is infact an SD card. I use titanium backup to backup my apps but I cant seem to direct titanium to backup to the external SD. If were to install Custom roms would my apps still be intact?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crimton:
honeycomb recognizes internal storage as SD and your microsd as MicroSD. if you install a custom rom you can restore from titanium still. however, i flashed prime 1.3 over stock without wiping so i lost no data anyways. basically i am just using the internal storage for /system and apps+app storage, and my 32gb sd for all media.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bisto321:
Go to – preferences/backup folder location and then use the backup/return arrow to navigate back to root folder (/). You should see Removable and inside that will be MicroSD if you have one inserted. Create a new folder if you like

You will now backup to the external SD.

Hope this helps.

[HTC Inspire 4G] struff:
Mine syncs an awful lot and it often takes a long time which causes the phone to lag and slow down to a crawl.

My question is, what does this actually do? Is it necessary for the functionality of htcsense.com? None of the stuff on that site works for me anyway (it doesn't know where my phone is even though I have the check box clicked in the Location settings and it doesn't lock or ring me). So do I need to let this sync and slow down my phone as often as it does?

Thanks.

2) The music player on my phone keeps FCing randomly. It happens most often when I try to use scrolling menus. (Such as playlist) It happens with both the default player and with Winamp. (I am running Kaoscinate v7)

Any help would be appreciated.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
The problem with the force close issue can be attributed to the Kaoscinate rom. It has many force close issues with many different apps. And it will continue to until kaos can find the time to fix these issues. Flash jt's CM7 alpha 3, it is the exact same rom except it has almost none of the bugs that kaosinate has. It has all the same good stuff and no force close issues that I have come across. I'm not to sure about your other question.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonvox:
So I'm trying to get my VZN Galaxy Tab back on its feet. After trying to get Gingerbread in it so I can use Netflix - and failing - I'm going through a lot of motions.

Okay. First I rooted it with Super One Click. I should have been happy with that, but noooo. Then I tried flashing GB on it (I wish I can remember which ROM I started with...it's a mess. I think the pit file was gt-p1000_mr? Does that sound right?).

When that didn't work, I went to the much-cross-posted procedure for returning it to stock using Heimdall and SCH-i800_VZW_stock. Tried it five times. Each time, it booted into the Galaxy Tab/Samsung logos, then a fast glimpse of scrambled letters for a second followed by twinkly music, then black nothingness. It would then bootloop. I attempted to boot into recovery to wipe data/cache, but I couldn't get there. Vol-Up/Pwr just brought up the logo and scrambled video again.

Since I was still able to get into download mode, I tried flashing another ROM...this one the "P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ" method. With this, I was able to also flash CWM so I have SOME recovery mode. Sadly, booting brings up the GT/SAMSUNG logos and I get the spacey animation, but after that, again - blackness. This time, however, the Menu/Home/Back/Search buttons light up, so something's happening in there.

Also, booting into CWM, I cannot get my sdcard to be recognized. I tried different cards, so there's something goofy with the slot itself, I'm guessing.

So nothing is really working, but since I can get into CWM and also download modes, I'm holding out hope that this is not completely bricked.

I just need to find the right method of getting it back to a functioning tablet. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all eyes. Thanks so much.

UPDATE: I tried reflashing stock using the tried and true method. But this time, I went in and flashed CWM replacing the stock recovery which never worked for me. I got the Galaxy Tab/Samsung logo, and at long last, the animated VZW logo. Then it would bootloop there. I booted into CWM recovery and wiped the data/system and the cache from the first page. It still booted and bootlooped the same. This time, I booted into recovery, went to the mounts and storage section and formatted the system, data and cache. Opening logo only. CWM again, and got a whole bunch of "cache missing" messages. But I think I'm getting closer. Back to work.

UPDATE II: So the farthest I can get is the animated VZW logo using the combo of the stock flash through Heimdall, then flashing CWM with Odin. Still no sdcard access. Anything I should try here? Thanks.
