[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
2.3 ROMS do not use EXT4 or RFS (well Asgard doesn't) (i think)

They use another type.. FORGOT NAME. Don't try going into RFS on 2.3, just a warning... It may be either a bit slow, or may sometimes put you in a boot loop.

RFS is used at the beginning when flashing Asgard, but later you go to EXT4 or something.

Don't mess with any of the 2.3 ROMS, RFS or not you may get a boot loop/brick and regret it.

Mess with 2.2/2.2.1 all you want, their all stable.

NONE of the 2.3 are stable.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
If you need to go back to rfs either odin back to stock 2.1 (or just go into recovery and disable the voodoo lagfix (if you are running it)

CM 7 uses MTD/yaffs2 (like Nexus One) so, you'll not able to flash any kernel or run any other filesystem Only the data partition, which is on movinand, is ext4 like on speedmod or voodoo ("lagfix")
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
Ok. Thanks for the advice guys. My question is...is there another way to go to stock other than Odin? :confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] german103:
Yes, try Heimdall
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
Heimdall basically is Odin....what are you currently running? Ext4? Rom?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Depends... what ROM are you on? a 2.3? then no.

If a 2.2 or 2.2.1

then yes

there are threads with stock flashable roms and just flash those.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
Im running CM7 right now....so there is no way to go to stock (or to 2.2/2.1) without Odin/Heindall??

Sent fron my Vibrant!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
well i THINK you can flash Asgard or soemthing on there or idk if CM7 has it but a EXT4 app, convert to EXT4 and then flash a 2.2 kernel then a 2.2 rom...

idk if it'll work but it did on Asgard.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
It'sbest if you Odin back to jfd based upon the questions you're asking because the process to avoid using Odin is very technical and requires knowledge of these technicalities.

Besides, you need to learn how your phone actually works before you go flashing all these roms because you should know what you're doing when you are changing things you shouldn't be on your $500 piece of hardware.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrierEM:
I have some major issues!!!!

I have tried everything that I can think of and I still have problems!!! I have flashed several different radios, Different Kernals, Different ROMS ASOP and Stock and I don't know why my phone keeps restarting randomly! Sometimes it will go for an hour and sometimes it will go for 30 seconds but it keeps restarting itself. Currently I am running CM7 with the new GB Radio leak. Still happeneing please can someone help ease my frustration with this god forsaken phone! Thanks for any Suggestions!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid_JD:
Just a thought, are you undervolting your kernel at all? If undervolted too much mine has constant reboots.

All I can think of, but by no means am I an expert.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theflyingfeldman:
Are you wiping all partitions before flashing?

Full Wipe:

1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset

2. Wipe Cache Partition

Go into Mounts and Storage

3. Wipe System

4. Wipe Data

5. Wipe Cache

Go into Advanced

6. Wipe Dalvik Cache

7. Wipe Battery Stats

8. Install zip (ROM)

9. Power off/on, the boot back into recovery

10. Install zip (GApps)

11. Power off/on

SD?

Had this same thing happen w/ a friend's DInc.

Copied all SD files to PC, removed and reformatted SD to FAT32, copied files back to SD, remounted, problem went away.

It was a guess on my part, and worked for her, idk if that was the issue, but the reboots stopped.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slosh:
does it do it when you just install a rom with the stock kernal it comes with? Try running just 1 thing for a while to see what is causing it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nate2830:
Or it may be a hardware issue.....you can search these threads for 'random reboots' and see that you may just need a new phone. I had the random reboots issue which originally lead me to rooting......which still didn't help. My problem started when I let the phone get way too hot on a car charger, does it seem heat related? Just a thought, would seem more likely than a kernel issue as every time you flash a new ROM you get a different kernel....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddyshatch:
I had the same issue and had to get a replacement. Just make sure you put everything back to stock before you take it in. There is a great thread in develompement that will walk you through it. You may want to even try going back to stock anyway and see if the problem persists.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrierEM:
I can run stock everything and I still get the same problem I'm going to try and format my sd card and see if that works.....i don't know what else to do. And yes i have wiped everything before installing new ROM...

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddyshatch:
What I meant by back to stock is unroot, s-on, ect... You mentioned that you have tried different roms so I am assuming you are still rooted.

Something weird is going on here. The odds of this happening have to be astronomical, or is this phone going to sh*t now?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vabeach454:
I also had problems Rooting a friends new MT4G a couple days ago with the VISIONary Method and Thats all I had ever used. I think it's somthing with the new phones? Did you try the G-FREE Method?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bballcat03:
No cause Gfree is windows and I have OSX, so I'm SOL on that...which is why I'll probably switch to the G2X if I can't get to another computer with windows.

You keep replacing your device because you can't root it? Seriously? Why? You think the devices are damaged in some way because you can't root them?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bballcat03:
So it's my computer's fault?

There is a thread going on about bad eMMC's that won't allow you to root...so yes, it is the device...

way to be a d*ck dude!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawler9:
I think you're likely incorrect about the reason you can't root it. My myTouch4G has the good eMMC, yet I was unable to root it using Visionary. Gfree worked without a hitch though. Also, why do you think gfree is exclusive to any OS? I think it should work on any OS, as gfree is executed on the phone, not via your PC. You run gfree through terminal emulator or through adb shell.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsmith970:
I've gone through half a dozen mytouch 4gs because they all keep turning off on me. I get the feeling that t-mobile just sends out refurb after refurb so you keep getting phones with the bad chip. At least I wouldn't be surprised considering my experience with this phone.

I also have the M4G2DE chip and I could not root with visionary. I don't know if my sleep of death problems are related to this but like I said before I wouldn't be surprised.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bballcat03:
excuse me, according to the thread in the general section, the MT4G can come with bad eMMC's. I have no proof of this of course, just going off what I read. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt, when I see other's with the same issues at least.

The instructions on the gfree method are for windows...do the same exact commands apply to OSX if I use terminal? I'm not a mac guy, by any means, but I figured commands and all would be different between OS's.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawler9:
Yes, it's highly suspected that certain eMMcs are more prone to failing, though this hasn't definitively been determined yet.

The instructions in the gfree thread should be universal. I used them successfully on Ubuntu. For some reason, I couldn't get Visionary to properly function on my device either. Apparently it did work after a factory reset, after I restored it to stock again, but first time around, I used z4root to temp root and manually installed the superuser application from the market instead of the step that tells you to use Visionary in the gfree instructions.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bballcat03:
but what's the "C" drive called on OSX (as per the instructions)...right now my android-sdk-mac_x64 folder is in the macintosh hd
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawler9:
I don't see any mention at all of the C drive in the gfree thread. Are you following the same thread I am? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858996
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bballcat03:
yup same thread, but in order to get to the "tools" portion, you had to do C right? It says I'm supposed to "cd your way to your SDK tools directory"...how do you do that on OSX?

cause when I do step 4 ""adb push gfree /data/local""....I type that into terminal and it says "command not found"
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawler9:
Never used MAC OS, but it seems like the cd command would work the same way. Just open terminal or a prompt or whatever you use in MAC and type "ls" and hit enter. That should show you all the files or directories in that folder. Use that to find your way around to where your SDK is located. To go up a folder, you can type "cd .." or to enter another folder located in your current working directory, "cd insertfoldernamehere". Maybe someone with a little more experience with MACs can help you with exactly where your SDK is, but that should help if you can play around with it for a while.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] pianoplayer:
I flashed one of the Sense 3.0 roms today and found that the entire rom is slightly-off scale. The best way to see this is to add an analog clock, and it looks like it is flattened with the horizontal diameter longer than the vertical one. I did some calculations and this is because:

Kingdom: qHD = 960/540 = 1.777...
Incredible: 800/480 = 1.666...

So as you can see, the Kingdom is a bit "taller", and thus directly translating the images from the Kingdom will lead to the screen appearing a bit stretched horizontally. I don't have much experience, but I can tell that adjusting EVERY image in a rom is probably extremely difficult.

So why not, instead of messing with images, modify the display?

Obviously we can't make our displays taller into

1.777... * 480 = 854

854 by 480, so instead we can make our displays narrower. With some math:

800 * (540/960) = 450

so we can make our displays 800x450 by chopping off 15 pixels from each side with some software hacks. Also, we could get around images being distorted by setting LCD density higher so that the images would fit.

That last part with LCD density is a bit iffy, but I'm sure that you devs can get it to work.

(Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I thought it would fit better in Development than in General.)
