it looks like you need to flash a kernel with that rom for the 2708 radio... i never used this rom so im not sure but try flashinh the 2708 kernel right after flashing the rom, do not wipe or reboot in-between

the kernel is on the post with the rom! just look for 2708
[G1 General] levibuko:
ill try it when im at home thank you!

can you advice me a good rom you had tried?
[G1 General] levibuko:
i tried it, nothing changed

when i press camera and power it says again dream pvt etc
[G1 General] ldrifta:
only other thing i could think of would be to change your recovery, try amon RA, or just try to flash a diff rom... there's better ones out there
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
If u flash the rom then flash the 2708 kernel then boot up it should be fine. U could always try froyo by laszlo to see if it will boot for u

if you wanna use that rom, reroot, install hardspl, then upgrade to 1.33.2003 spl. From there install the 14mb radio+spl combination and flash the rom + 2708 kernel + custom mtd mapped like death spl
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jschamberlin:
Figured I'd start a new thread to separate the 2nd Generation info from the 1st Generation info for the GenTouch78. There is a lot of bouncing back and forth between the two versions related to rooting, hacking, etc. and it gets confusing - so much so, that it becomes easy to "brick" the 2nd Generation with a 1st Generation update.

That said, here's how to tell the difference for those that are just learning about it - the 2nd Generation GenTouch78 has a white power button that lights up and a 3.5mm earphone jack....those are the two biggest things I know of. Also, the key sequence is different to get it into different modes (fastboot, recovery, etc). Haven't quite figured out all of them yet, but I do know that to get it into fastboot mode you press and hold the Menu button on the back while hitting the reset with a paperclip (or pin or whatever). Done correctly, the screen flashes the GenTouch78 splash briefly and then goes blank.

So - enough of that jazz. On to the important stuff, like recovering a "bricked" 2nd Generation. Many have done it, including myself - and after trying every method I could find, I could not get the system back to a full working status.

In order to recover it, you'll need the fastboot utility, and the images I've got. Here's the nice thing - the images are a true clock work backup from a brand new, fresh from the box, 2nd Generation GenTouch78:

w w w dot megaupload dot com slash ?d=XRZ6MT9J

Unzip the file, and copy the entire clockworkmod directory onto your SDCard and stick it in your device. Get your 2nd Generation GenTouch78 into fastboot mode (Menu and reset like I said above), the fastboot it with the recovery1.img that is in the zip file:

> fastboot boot recovery1.img

Done correctly, the screen will flash up the usual screens, and start clockwork recovery mode. Once the recovery menu is available, it's just a matter of mounting the SD Card, navigating to backup and restore, and restoring from the backup. Once it's done, reboot your 2nd Generation GenTouch78 and you should be back to original factory working order. To navigate in the recovery mode, the menu and search buttons on the back are up/down, the home button is "enter", and the back button is the back button.

Happy unbricking!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jschamberlin:
GenTouch78 2nd Generation Hacking

Still working on the ins and outs of the 2nd Generation GenTouch78, but some important notes about this particular device:

The boot.img padding is not the same as most other Android devices. It's actually 8MB (8192) instead of the standard 2MB (2048) or 4MB (4096). Why they did that, I don't know - and with a freshly built kernel and ramdisk it can most likely be changed.

DON'T USE DD to try to back up the /system partition. It will create a file, granted, but you will never get it to restore because the file system ends up corrupted. So far the best method I've found for backing up everything in /system is either use the clockwork recovery image to back it up, or to tar up /system and pull it off with adb.

After I recovered my "bricked" 2nd Generation GenTouch78, I did manage to root it - still testing the stability before I start passing it around. I also got the Amazon Android App Store on in it, as well as Amazon Kindle and Flash - so far so good. Firefox claims that it's an unsupported device, so for the time being I'm using the Dolphin Browser, which isn't too bad at all actually.

I'll post more things as I find them, test them, etc.

Holding the BACK + POWER will bring you to a menu where you can choose Recovery, Fastboot, and other stuff

I tried to get clockwork on it with this thread but I ended up not being able to move in the clockwork menu

How did you get it on there? :o

Sorry for being such a newb

Did you install clockwork in order to make the backup of your ROM? I want to make a backup of my ROM before flashing, but I can't get CWM installed so it's a Catch-22

[EDIT]

I tried your recovery image, but it didn't work for me. After flash, the unit would not enter recovery at all. I have my backup dump, so I put it back on... here I will upload it for you.

I have a white-power-button, black, second-gen GT78 with a mic.

This worked for me:

When in clockwork recovery, to move, I had to HOLD MENU and press the SEARCH BUTTON in order to move up in the menu

The problem is this: I can only move up in the menu, I can't push any key combo to make it go to the next menu. I assume the keys are mapped to the button right, or something.

I also hope this thread isn't totally dead. A fellow co-worker gave me his gentouch78 today as he somehow bricked it. I believe it is a 2nd gen unit, white power button and 3.5mm jack. I can get into the splash screen and select and enter both recovery or fastboot. However, selecting recovery brings up CWM v2.5.0.4, I can only toggle up by holding Menu and pressing search...weird and I cant figure out how to select.

Fastboot still works. just no system.img to flash.

Can anybody please help?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimace2255:
I understand that the Nexus S doesn't have an LED notification. I've installed No LED as an option. Is it possible that one will be added later? I'm not sure what the 2 holes in the upper left corner of the phone are, but can either be used as a blinking LED?

I wonder why Google would choose to leave this feature off the phone. Makes me think not many people like the feature, which I personally love.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joebags:
i believe one is a light sensor, the other is proximity? not sure exactly what they are but they aren't leds camera is the one on the right obviously.

download an app called noLED it works great.

*edit* missed the part where you said you installed no led. as far as i know it's the only option.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickmv:
This is where the technical prowess of the dev community comes in handy. Look for NS4G compatible kernels with BLN, or Back-Light Notification. While the screen is off, it illuminates the row of keys at the bottom of the phone, on and off on and off.

You can even customize it the time-on and time-off to your liking, so it blinks in a way that alerts you. This is far better than noLED, because it doesn't use the screen at all, and the battery drain is negligible, if any at all.

I use Netarchy's kernel, and most other kernels out there feature BLN as well. You'll need to purchase the BLN Control app from the market, but it's worth every penny and is cheap anyways.

I cannot comment on NS kernel compatibility with NS-4G's, but I believe they are....dont trust me on it though.

UPDATE: I have confirmed that Netarchy's kernel works fine for the NS-4G. You can find it here. You'll need to choose the appropriate version, depending on whether you're running a stock-rooted ROM or a custom ROM. You'll need to be using Android version 2.3.4, as the 2.3.3 kernels he released are not compatible with the NS-4G.

If you use one of these kernels, be sure to install the Voodoo Control App as well, it'll greatly improve your music sound quality, as well as allowing you to tweak the colors of the display. You can also overclock with the kernel installed.

If you're not sure how to flash kernels or root your phone (both of which you'll need to/should do), then consult the Nexus S Dev Forum, and you'll find a guide or two on this process. Basically you're gonna need ClockWorkMod recovery and root access so you can flash the new kernel. Both will be beneficial to you in the long run, especially if you have any interest in customization and new ROMS.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olinz:
What is the best method for getting the tab to recognize my playlists. I use Mediago to sync and transfer for both my Xperia X10 and My Tab. The format is m3u. Playlists worked fine on froyo, but on 2.3.3 the tab only picks up 2 or 3 of my playlists randomly. Ive tried deleting all music from my tab and resyncing, again it only picks up 2 - 3 random playlists and thats it. I though it might be an issue with power amp, so i switched to player pro, still didnt pick up my playlists. Ive tried playlist purge and playlist clean, still no go. Ive tried forcing media resync as well as trying it with ./no media inside my music folder to see if the apps themselves would recoginize them, and moving my playlists to theyre own sub folder. Playlists seem to be tied to some database in the OS, but where and how do you clear it or fix it. Id rather not have to manually create my playlists on the tab itself as I have approximately 25 of them.

Anyone have any suggestions please let me know.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramyt:
Hi all,

I'm kinda in a stage of researching the motorola xoom and almost deciding to get one for myself, but i have a few questions that may help me take my decision firmly.

i'm looking for the motorola xoom with Wi-Fi AND 3G

i was browsing some of the reviews and lots of people are talking about this side tray that encapsulates both the SIM card and the microSD.

for now i know the SD is not supported, but will be, which is ok for me, given that the internal storage is sufficient.

but for the SIM card, one of the reviewers on PhoneArena.com said: "there is an opening for the SIM card slot once it has the 4G LT modem installed, so u can put in your SIM card, but right now its just a place holder, u will have to go to one of Verizon stores once its available to have them install the 4G LT modem"

so does this mean that the current model in the market doesn't support 3G at all! i mean putting in the SIM card will be useless until in install this modem, or is it the case that this modem will ONLY be used for 4G connectivity? and any SIM card will work normally, making phone calls, connecting to internet over 3G network?

I live in the middle east, in Saudi Arabia, and i've seen the motorola xoom in the stores here, but i actually forgot to ask if it is Wi-Fi only or Wi-Fi + 3G. I guess i will also have to ask about the support to provide this 4G LT modem once its available.

the second question is about the USB port, i've seen on the forum that there is a hack for Honeycomb that will allow using this port as a host, in other words u can connect you flash drive, or USB HDD (of any size) to the Xoom and be able to browse the files and copy in and out. is that correct?

and the last question is what the applications originally come shipped with it?

Your help is much appreciated :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eaglecomm:
If you get the 3G model, it will have 3G on it once you buy it. The modem update is only to take it from 3G to 4G capability. But if you purchase the 3G model, it will have 3G already. And you mention using it as a phone.. the 3G doesn't mean that it will be useful as a phone (not stock at least). It is meant for data. So you can surf the web, etc, if you sign up for a cellular data plan.

Yes, the usb connection can be used for 'USB OTG Host Mode'. Do some searching around and it will explain your options. You need a specific cable for it though.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
3g works on the 3g+wifi version.

External SD card works also, if you root and install a custom kernel.

Yes, there is a hack for host mode, that allows cameras and thumb drives to connect. But you will need a micro USB host cable. But if you only want to connect your PC to the Xoom and access internal storage, this works out of the box - stock.

There's a lot of apps loaded from the factory. I'm rooted and deleted a few and added a lot from the Market, so I can't tell you exactly. Maybe someone else can chime in?
