Have you tried downloading the file again? There is also 3 parts, are you installing all 3 before you boot up?
[Droid X General] GolfnWrx:
I did re D/L the .588 file, I will try re D/Ling all.

Thanks for the reply.
[Droid X General] blueis300:
Have you also tried to wipe cache/factory reset? Just throwing it out there.
[Droid X General] GolfnWrx:
It appears that the Z4Root link on that page is bad. It would not root my phone, but when I pulled Z4Root from my archive, it worked fine.

Not sure what was wrong, but apparently one of my D/L files was bad before, because I'm now on .588.

Thanks for the replies...it doesn't look quite like any Gingerbread desktop I've seen before but I've only seen a few.

Thanks all for your input.

[Droid 2 General] RELLdot:
I need help. I messed up my Droid 2 restoring a backup and the battery died during SBF. So I did the Macgiver trick where you connect an old stripped usb wire to the battery so that the phone can be tricked into booting up and being flashed. Since then I've had a question mark in my battery icon. It wont read that battery or the battery that I've just purchased and I get the "Invalid Battery" message and the battery wont charge in the phone. Both batteries are official Motorola. I can't send the phone back as its not under warranty. So I have a few questions.

Is the some sort of workaround/ fix for this? Motorola put software on the Droid 2 since Froyo that reads whether or not a battery is official Motorola product. Can the battery software be hacked/ deleted so that I can use my battery as normal?

:confused:
[Droid 2 General] oneslotsi:
Wow, we have this same exact situation like a month ago, and since then my fiancee still uses her broken phone :(. We did the Macgyver trick also and we got the battery with the question mark. We even bought a new battery and it still shows it, tried reflashing with a fully charged battery and nothing changed. We also tried clearing battery stats none of it is working. If anyone knows anything about this problem please let us know. If you get an answer that cures your phone please please please let us know about it. I actually posted your question on Yahoo! Answers since it was the same exact problem that we had and if anyone answers we will post the reply on here.

Thanks a lot and good luck!
[Droid 2 General] soxx09:
I've got the exact same problem. All I did was purchase one of those external chargers so that one battery is always charged. It is annoying, yes, but its not too bad. I'm also looking forward to see if there is a solution, but I doubt it. We probably all fried the contacts on the phone, but we'll see.
[Droid 2 General] oneslotsi:
hey, yeah we did the same thing, we bought the second battery yesterday but i have a question, did you try flashing it again with the new battery in? I was wondering if it would work but i want to see if it will before clearing one more time my fiancee's cellphone since theres a fish game that may be lost if we do that.

Thanks a lot.

Brandon
[Droid 2 General] soxx09:
I've SBF'd multiple times since then, and the question mark is still there. I don't think theres a way around it, unfortunately. Personally, it's not really a big deal, but it may be for you.
[Droid 2 General] RELLdot:
I just really hate it because I have no clue when my battery dies.
[Droid 2 General] jediman:
Never had the issue, but one thing comes to mind..why not root, install clockwork recovery and then clear the battery cache?
[Droid 2 General] aaricchavez:
They said they already tried that.

What exactly is this Macgiver trick? If you have a link, or some info on how it's I might be able to shed some light on this for you guys
[Droid 2 General] GeorgeHahn:
The D2 battery is 3.7 volts; USB is 5. You probably blew out the A/D channel used to measure battery level.
[Droid 2 General] aaricchavez:
Ah, I see so they're hooking up the USB straight to the phone...found it after a little searching...

But i'm curious, wouldn't that only happen if the wires ended up touching the other two terminals, and not just the outer (+) and (-) ones?
[Droid 2 General] SuperDeform:
Will getting a new oem battery work?
[Droid 2 General] GuestD1088:
No, replacing the battery will not work if you messed up when connecting the spliced USB charger + and - to the wrong terminals in the phone.
[Droid 2 General] supasoju:
I have exactly same problem. I sliced the usb cable to revive my Droid X when the battery died during sbfing. Now my phone survived but Im stuck with question mark on battery icon. I flashed reflahsed and flashed again but no luck. wiped batt stat but no luck. Tried new OEM battery, no luck.. Put the batt in the freezer for 10min but no luck. I ran out of all the possible solution.

Now I just got the external stand along batt charger from ebay with 2 extra batts. I just carry extra battery since I dont know when the phone will go dead..

I would love to find out if someone can fix this issue. I still got 6 mo to go before I can upgrade.
[Droid 2 General] jodaboda:
I HAVE A SOLUTION (worked for me):

When doing the "Macgyver Hack", I jammed the USB wires into the battery. This pushed the metal spring terminals out. After that, the battery terminal springs don't all touch the connectors in the phone.

Take a needle, and carefully pull the battery's metal springs toward each other.

This worked for me.

Also, try this:

Remove battery and unplug phone. Plug phone in (without battery), then turn on (some phones will turn on without a battery). After the logo comes up, insert the battery. This made my phone recognize the battery and get into the OS.

Once the battery is recognized and you can boot to the OS, root the phone and get the battery calibration app (and use it).

I have a Motorola Defy, and used the Macgyver hack, then had the question mark problem for days before figuring this out.
[Droid 2 General] shupey:
jodaboda, Thank you a ton for that. I've been searching and trying out things to fix this and this is the closest I've come.

Although the Droid 2 doesn't boot up without a battery, I've had to the Macgyver Hack to get it to boot. The battery calibration app reads 100% charged when I am using the Macgyver Hack and is showing that the battery is charging. I'll tell you if it works once my battery is charged and I calibrate.

I wasn't able to get it to work. I think there is potential but my phone eventually died and it wasn't able to fix it. That app can measure the volts correctly tho, which means we should be able to get the battery working again somehow.
[Droid 2 General] dilfatx:
I don't have a nan back up from recovery but have read on another thread that you can also fix this by doing a restore of a back up through the recovery from a time before you have had the battery ? issue.. several people have also mentioned that it worked for them.. in my case I don't have a back up before this issue so I cannot confirm.
[Droid 2 General] coolguy71261:
my phone died noooo
[Droid 2 General] notes1:
bumping in case anyone has a solution?

please. pretty please.

tried methods above, phone wont boot unless plugged in... i don't care i can't tell what % its at, but i do care it wont boot off battery power.
[Droid 2 General] Theheroitsme:
Tried 2 Ways with no Luck.

1. Power button + volume button down Long press less than a min. ?

2. Plug in for a day or more. ?

Gotto try jadaboda's tip.
[Droid 2 General] sd_shadow:

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holgalee:
Is there a place where I can find the apps that came with my NC before I installed a ROM? I recall seeing a Chess app of some sort and a few other cool stuff. Do the newer firmware versions also come with more apps than the older?

TIA.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holgalee:
Does anybody know? :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexx0008:
in theory if you rooted stock, you should be able to find where the apk's are with rootexplorer or equiv. then possibly sideload them where you want... but my guess is the apps are pretty specific to the stock install and will not run under cm7 if that is what you are trying to do.

I seem to recall people were looking to get the stock reader working under cm7 and were having a heck of time trying to get it working.

the newer firmware has the nook app store, I don't recall if there was anything else as it's been so long since i been into stock.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myJon:
This should be what you're looking for. The download link in that post has the APKs for the three standard Nook games (Chess, Sudoku, and Crossword). Confirmed to work on other ROMs, including CM7. Enjoy!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holgalee:
Thanks, the games look cool. I tried renaming it as .apk and .zip but still can't install it. Any ideas?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myJon:
Use something like 7-Zip to extract the RAR file, which contains the APKs to install, or download the APKs directly from this post.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holgalee:
Ok cool. I'll give that a try. Thanks!

[Xperia Arc General] victoraveiga:
Hi everyone,

I'm new to this android, I come from Nokia and Symbian. The first impression is that actually I found a much more evolved operating system if the goal we have integration in a portable device of the features found on a computer, management, applications, updates, multimedia experience, etc. and in which phone function as voice calls become "a more", almost tending to extición if we consider, in addition to VoIP applications, the new way to communicate pass through social networks and email, available at all times in the palm of the hand.

What we lack are more made ​​in the features we've found life on a symbian phone and still did not forget them.

What strikes me is that my work is essential to use GSM phone as a modem, ie I give my pc a dialup to connect to remote phone numbers through programs such as HyperTerminal or other programs that use this type of connection to configure remote computers attached to a GSM modem. This function is something that can be found in most mobile phones of yesteryear (no Symbian or Android or iOS, phone plain and simple). How wonderful that in my previous N96 by bluetooth connection gave me the hyperterminal connection instantly, anywhere.

Well, with my new Arc and the latest xperia android I can not get what they could do with a mobile for 6 years, how sad. It is very well the evolution of technology, but without forgetting functions that have made us reach it.
[Xperia Arc General] bashar.enjarini:
actually I came also from nokia 5800 to arc, I liked the op system and the build quality of the phone .but still missing the symbian and the nokia in a strange way!!

about your problem, I'm sorry I can't help.

but can you give me your imprison about the xperia Arc and Android in general?
[Xperia Arc General] victoraveiga:
Hello,

First sorry for my way of expressing myself, I'm using the google translator.

Took 1 week on the Arc and the phone I love, is very nice and the screen is of very good quality. I feel very comfortable with the phone.

My impression with the android is welcome, it is very customizable and the market and the services offered by Google are a great asset of the system.

Although as I said I come from symbian and although you may not believe there are many features of the Nokia sitema fact missing.

Bluetooth connectivity in the arc is terrible. Bluetooth services offered by Nokia are many more: Transferring files and especially dial-up networking is the fact that most missing. For me the latter is essential to my work.

For the system, if google had been involved in the Symbian platform Nokia and hardware were up to par, I think we'd be at a different scenario.

I miss Nokia, as a phone a 10, I think his problem was the trade mark have been isolated mostly in software and hardware that the difference over its rivals is enormous. While Nokia is not able to equalize the level of hardware rivals will never succeed, even with Microsoft's system. No matter the camera to bring, we are already on stage as computers, mobile value for its CPU, graphics capabilities, RAM, storage. And Nokia is not up to it.
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
This is exactly why I returned my Arc after one week. Not because of the Arc itself, but because of Android. You have so many possibilities and applications and what not, but the phone basics just don't even come close to my cheap Sony Ericsson Elm...
[Xperia Arc General] daveybaby:
Do you mean wireless/usb tethering?

https://market.android.com/search?q=tether&so=1&c=apps
[Xperia Arc General] victoraveiga:
Hello,

I refer to the use of mobile as GSM modem. That is, to empower my pc to phone calls to phone numbers remote data, for use with HyperTerminal or other current programs fully make use of this functionality.

I can do with a mobile for 6 years and not with my Arc, when I realized I could not believe that the glorious android system did not include such a basic functionality in a cell for many generations. So I say that the android is a miniPC with the added functionality to make calls. Nothing more. As a phone 0.
[Xperia Arc General] daveybaby:
You want to connect your PC to the internet via your phone, to let your PC use the phone's mobile data network, correct?

This is called wireless (connect phone to PC via wifi) or USB (connect phone to PC via cable) tethering. Android does both. Check out some of the apps i linked to.
[Xperia Arc General] victoraveiga:
I know the tethering. But what I need is the function of modem gsm, call my pc to another mobile number.
[Xperia Arc General] fig_jam_uk:
imo Nokia's are terrible devices, the symbian os is so outdated and will soon be fully phazed out as Nokia in their infinate wisdom have signed up with Microsoft to start providing the new Nokia's with Windows Phone 7 (why god why?) if you want to use your phone as a connection for your laptop its dead easy, follow the steps below:

Menu

> Settings

> Tethering and Portable hotspot

> ensure wifi is enabled then you can tick the portable Wi-Fi hotspot

> then search for you phone in the wireless networks from your PC and join

Thats it, I setup a connection for one of my users the other day using a Nokia e71 and its the most over complicated thing I have had to do in a while, I had to install the Ovi phone manager, then the modem software for the PC to see the device as a connecton.

Dont get me wrong Nokia's where good in their day but unforunatley their day has been and gone, long live android :D
[Xperia Arc General] fig_jam_uk:
Ahh I se what you mean lolz, will a VPN not do the job?
[Xperia Arc General] victoraveiga:
I need is to use Windows HyperTerminal to communicate with remote industrial equipment through a data call, NO CONNECTION TCPIP, this in symbian is very easy because it gives me bluetooth modem service I use to call in the hyperterminal to a computer. My Arc the only service that offers me is the bluetooth handsfree. So I think that Android does not do well. Bluetooth modem service is offered by the mobile dewww 8 years ago, and now not Android or ios, that's what I mean when I say that is a step backwards

[Xperia Arc General] victoraveiga:
My problems are solved if there is a hyperterminal type android application, that allows me to make calls to a remote industrial equipment (with a GSM modem connected). You know any type hyperterminal application in android?

[Xperia Arc General] d4rkwind:
Try downloading PDAnet from the market and you can connect over bluetooth to the internet this might be what you are after?
[Xperia Arc General] D-jack:
I think the answer needed would be : does android support dial up networking (DUN Modem) via cable or Bluetooth??

I don't know, but currently a lot of newer device drop dial up modem support and use internet sharing (tethering) instead.

I think mobile carrier still support those old v32 modem value added service. but I'll bet it's charge by minutes at inflated rate and 9600-14400bps hscd.

still need hyper terminal though.

best luck..
[Xperia Arc General] Monkii:
Yes, PdaNet is what you need

It supports Bluetooth DUN with a computer

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garrickus:
Hi tperson1,

I had exactly the same problem on o2 uk.

This lasted for nearly two months. Phone was not updated at the time.

I was originally able to send and receive picture messages when I first got the phone, but this broke after about a month. I went to the o2 shop and asked for advice. Their response was that it was either because the phone needed updating (which wasn't available at the time) or their was a hard wear problem. They informed me that they would happily send it to HTC for repair, and provide a cheap replacement phone for the month or so it would take. Understandably I wasn't happy with this.

I then contacted o2 customer services who offered a swop for a new model. They then said that HTC advised changing the sim card first and sent me another to try before a swop.

However, the problem appeared to resolve itself before I received the new Sim card. I received the feb update shortly after and touch wood I have not experienced the problem since.

Hope that helps.

Garrickus.

[Streak 5 General] Electrophone:

has anyone with an O2 Streak on 2.2 with BB Version 319 actually managed to root it?? And I dont care if you have a different version and SOC or Z4Root has worked for you... I have tried them as well as this...

[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
Found and interesting article and i thought i'd throw it out there. Basically when it comes to quadrants you will have two very polarizing point of views. You will have those that LOVE the program and they must test everything. And those that swear never to use it. But i found an interesting command line from the CMD prompt.

mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /data/data/com.aurorasoftworks.quadrant.ui.standard

Long story short it mounts the Quadrant Standard application on the RAM of the phone so you can get a true reading. Since the I/O is what bottle necks everything

I ran three test with the QS after three test i got a high of 2528, and a low of 1918. 610 point difference. Not to shabby for running CM7N75 O/C'd to 1516 with a performance governor

Then i mounted QS on the RAM of the phone and ran three test. The highest being 2997 and the lowest being 2785. 212 point difference.

just throwing out some food for thought.
[myTouch 4G General] UsrBkp:
Why do people always cry about Quadrant? those lil silly numbers means nothing I love how all the idiots who review the roms and make videos always do it and gives general public this idea that its real.
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
first and foremost - personal attacks aren't needed, wanted, or warranted.
[myTouch 4G General] UsrBkp:
I am sorry if you thought I personally attacked you but I assure you that was not the case. As I was speaking more in general, but what I said still stands.

I know you weren't coming after me. But still in general. We are here to help one another and expand horizons. Not belittle each other.
[myTouch 4G General] darinmc:
I personally don't use quadrant, but any time someone talks about performance they can either post quadrant/linpack results, or they can say "it's really fast." You can't call someone who posts quadrant results an idiot unless you call anyone who has ever commented on a phone's performance an idiot. We talk about this stuff all the time, no need to demean anyone unless you have the one-stop end all of performance gauges.
