[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
Ok - my noobness is showing through here, but can someone lend me a hand in editing the build.prop? In evil's fusion thread, people are saying to edit it to achieve better signal/data, but I can't seem to find how to do it. I gather it needs to be done via a file explorer...I've located build.prop using File Expert, but am not sure how to proceed...

Managed to figure it out, never mind...let's hope I didn't do any damage! :P
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pinkk:
Would love to know too

I have been looking all over the internet for a way to edit the build prop to boost internet speeds for the mytouch, i see it in other forums but i am not sure if it is the same. I would love to know what we are supposed to use for date speeds to boost them because my speeds are absolutely terrible.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
The build.prop is located in system. You need to switch to r/w, long press the build.prop file and open in text editor.

The thing is that file manager doesn't have text editor. I use root explorer or you can copy the build.prop to a pc and edit with note pad and copy it back to system in your phone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marseillesw:
I too would like to know exactly what changing the build prop does supposedly and how to change it (what to modify) to maximize speed..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
ask the people who have done it.

:rolleyes:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marseillesw:
Thanks..how about a simple answer to the question ...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
No problem. Changing the build.Prop will not affect the radio. Location, bandwidth, and baseband all affect dl. And ul speeds

I have a g3 with xxjpf. I wanted to know if there is a way to add the 5 lock screen mod option without flashing with a custom rom.

Its my first post in xda....

SORRY IF I POSTED UNDER THE WRONG SECTION !!!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] LarryMetal:
They're not keeping it private! You just have to be deodexed and by using "Kitchen application" you can do it in a stock rom.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] LarryMetal:
I don't get it:confused:

You said that the devs keep the mod for their custom roms.

It's not like this. You don't have to ask anyone! Kitchen is free to download so you can mod your rom the way you want! Take a look here.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] LarryMetal:
Sorry! Didn't know the phrase :o

I also read it "correct"(missed the "ed"). :cool:

What he meant was which errors are you getting? The E:\ can't mount? Are you trying to revert back just the gfree? What are you doing? We need more information as your original post is very vague.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
yes im trying to fix the

E:Can't Mount /cache/recovery error thing from cwm 3.0.0.5

anyone got an answer to fixing that?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedude1313:
Cant you just flash the stock and start from scratch? the rest is easy peasy!!!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
The only way to fix it is if you ALREADY have the engineering spl. If you do, you need to fastboot flash clockworkmod 2.x.x and fix the catches. If you don't, at least for the moment, the phone is no longer going to work and basically equals a brick.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UsrBkp:
For one for now its soft-brick. Second is only way he can push the CWMR2.x if the recovery partition is not also corrupted at that point if that does happen keep in mind it won't even bootup. Best way to check this is by placing the PD15IMG.zip on root of your sdcard and see if it works. If you get fail-pu for now the game is over and I repeat you CAN'T recover from it using push recovery in that case you will brick it completely and won't even power up. I need to do more testing when I get another MT4G as I did push the recovery.img and reverted back from e:\ can't mount before during testing.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
Dude your wrong, there is dozens of threads that say otherwise.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UsrBkp:
Post it here go. I "hack" the emmc chips you read it. I bet $100 if you lookup almost all fail-pu based threads if I was on at that time I posted it on the thread. Do NOT try to give people wrong information unless you have NOT yet done anything that would jeopardize their device.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
Don't need to look in my post history, you will see where me and a few others troubleshooted this prob months ago. Aren't you new to this forum? I looked in your post history, all you really do is bewilder people. Something tells me you were already banned from xda before
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UsrBkp:
You can't post it because it does NOT exist and I am the ONLY guy in this whole MT4G section who actually hacked the emmc to find the solution, look at my Avatar. Name me the person who successfully recovered from it? You telling me you know more than I do? Have you even accessed the emmc?

"you will see where me and a few others troubleshooted this prob months ago."

lol that specially made me laugh since the oldest post regarding this issue the thread has me on it. You basically ran though my older posts and saw my recovery.img push along with flashing cwmr2.x from terminal as I posted the howto regarding it. Also the reason I was banned was due to the whole emmc issue in first place which you can find it CM7NB thread. Like I said we would be in better place right now if they didn't ban me then.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
If what you claim is true then why don't you make a guide a successfully fix 99% of the bricks on this forum? I remember you now, its funny if what you claim worked you would think somebody else would have figured it out or something. Also, why ban you for helping out the forum.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UsrBkp:
1) Look in my Avatar.

2) Search for all threads related to fail-pu.

3) Go to it via Tapatalk.

4) Compare the Avatar.

Now if you could read half as you claimed to fix someones issue you would know who I am and why I am back on XDA and the reason I am back is to find the solution. But since you didn't actually read anything to begin with the point is moot. You "claimed" you helped someone on a thread which you can't post. Now you claiming someone else found the solution lol. Ill just let you do the search and see who is even posted regarding this. I grantee you not a single person who is talking about fail-pu was even in any of those threads period.

PS: I am actually waiting for another MT4G so I can hack it. Which is almost posted in every post since today. But then again since you didn't read you wouldn't know this as I only posted in threads regarding fail-pu to begin with. Its for morons like you that I get banned when I try to help the community and I get an uneducated idiot like you coming here don't have a clue on what you read or who you read from. Remember my avatar from now on I grantee you if anything intelligent was said would be coming from it. Do a single search on it and compare it.

UPDATE:

I am sorry folks but this kid pushed me with his babbling. Since I am the only one who been doing this since he even knew what failed partition update was till last week. If he thought we had a solution it would already be posted it won't be a moot point. lol he says why I didn't make a thread. I got banned for talking about emmc hack in first place yet he wants me to make a thread about it. What I am saying can be verified by looking at the threads not by pretending he saved someone to begin with.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
Lol whatever you claim dude. I'm on a cell phone nor do I care about your thoughts. No wonder they banned you, your a dueche. I hope they do it again! Don't get me wrong, you seem intelligent and all but no one needs your God complex like attitude.

When I get home ill post you the thread where I helped troubleshoot (not solve) the answer I posted for the OP. However, until you write your so called guide I am right.

Update: His so called fix got him banned but yet he gives me a hard time for posting the only known fix at the moment. Question is, what does his "fix" do that gets him banned?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UsrBkp:
Did you read anything I said? How about this if your attempt fails and he bricks his device you pay for it. If you agree to those terms he will attempt your so called solution which you will find me say it on the oldest threads to begin with. If you agree and you must say YOU WILL PAY FOR IT. So he can send XDA email and obtain your info to file claim as you pay for the cost of the device. Am I getting though to you? The oldest post regarding this has me on it, almost all post regarding this has me on it if I was on at the time which can be verified though my avatar. Do you understand I was banned for this whole emmc fiasco to begin with? I would love to know other than suggesting putting PD15IMG.zip and pushing the recovery.img on mmcblk what other thing you offer atm. Which if you google.com under XDA narrow it down to MT4G you will see me post it. lol your trying to argue with the ONLY guy who was doing research regarding the emmc issue since 3-4months now. I want to so see that post where that guy recovered so I can send him a PM and have him post in here saying it didn't work and likly he bricked his device to the point it didn't turn on and he sent it to HTC for warranty replacement. Now I understand you wouldn't recognize me but my avatar been in this forum longer than you owned a device.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
Dude I am not arguing with, your arguing with me. Lets say he did do what I said and it failed. His device was already done so there would be no difference. So far to date the only fix is yours and nobody but you knows it. What's weird is that it got you banned. So explain to me how I am WRONG?

1.Nobody knows your method.

2. The only known way to recover from the op's problem is what I said.

Only because I want the story to get out, and have conversation about it, we owe everyone here the truth.

I myself can't imagine why it happened, how it happened is even more crazy... This **** happens for no real ****ing reason, only ego, or who knows anymore....

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mstevens:
I just picked up a Sprint Nexus S and paired it with the bluetooth in my 2011 BMW Z4. There was no trouble pairing and phone numbers appear in the car fine.

I do have a problem in that addresses don't appear to sync between the phone's Contacts list and the car. This has not happened with my HTC Touch Pro 2. Not being able to access addresses from the phone is a deal-killer since I frequently use them in the navigation system.

Can anyone else with a recent BMW confirm whether they are able to pair a Nexus S and see addresses in the car? Any hints on what I may be doing wrong?
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
ok i'm a little confused about the role, if any, the rom manager plays with the epic 4G... if we are supposed to 3 finger into Recovery to nandroid and run zip files/flash roms, and we cannot use the rom manager for rom updates, what good does it do us?
[Epic 4G General] spitefulrain:
Once kernels are CWM 3.0.2.5 compatible it will be more useful. You will be able to reboot into recovery through Rom Manager, and possibly update roms all through it. Also CM7. Once its done.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
but until then should i just delete it from my epic? is there ANY use to it for us right now?
[Epic 4G General] spitefulrain:
I've seen others say they've used it to fix permissions, which CAN solve some issues. But it's just a shortcut, you can do that from CWM. So its not NEEDED. I personally don't use it.
[Epic 4G General] TexasLTE:
that is my understanding , too ...... until then though it is not of much use to us
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
It will boot to 3.0.2.x without errors, but you will get errors if you try to use any functions. Better to give Sprint the 3 finger salute. ;-)
[myTouch 4G General] kimbernator:
I'm currently trying to round up commonalities between cases of cache, etc not being able to be mounted, which seems to happen with FAIL-PU when trying to use PD15IMG. Unfortunately, to figure this out, I need at least two people who have recovered from this issue and still have the original phone.

So please, if you've had this issue and recovered, post here so i can contact you and figure some stuff out.
[myTouch 4G General] lowandbehold:
In the post emmc thread there was a guy who recovered from it..get with him and you are halfway there
[myTouch 4G General] UsrBkp:
Good to see people here took my cause and now I got the whole community involved in this grimy issue that none would shed light upon it. Far as me getting another MT4G goes for pure emmc hack goes I am still waiting maybe I can get soon. But you folks keep on with your research and collect all the people who is involved in single thread as it will be much easier for me then.
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
Not sure what u r looking for but I have recovered my gf mt4g a few weeks ago from this using PD15IMG
[myTouch 4G General] UsrBkp:
Fail-PU means failed partition update. At that point the block wouldn't update along with the radio will fail now are you absolutely sure it was fail-pu? How did you determine it was fail-pu? The E:\ can't mount on recovery is just the side effect which you see after its corrupted. So in terms you can recover from E:\ can't mount but when you receive fail-pu flag game is over as we know it. Since how our mmcblk is allocated it we can't low level format to reconstruct it. So at that point the motherboard has to be replaced.

I successfully recovered from it as I was the one who initially started this investigation few months back. I was able to push the recovery image manually. But as I stated there are alot of variables unaccounted for specially the chip difference as the device I tested was on SEM04G.

1) Make a poll between 2 chips and check which ratio is higher.

2) Those effected by the fail-pu which chip they have.

3) Which rooting meth did they use and effected the higher ratio.

Until I get my hand on another MT4G or I upgrade to newer device I can't risk my current working phone as I use it for biz.
[myTouch 4G General] alfadog77:
i have gotten those cache errors on clockworkmod and i still do once in awhile but i have the SEM04G Emmc chip and i thought those errors were normal and i proceeded on flashing other roms and everything would work fine
[myTouch 4G General] tjhnf:
I just encountered this fail pu when trying to get my mt4g back working after it just was stuck on splash screen and did not want to boot up. I don't know how the engineering bootloader is supposed to help since I have it and it has not helped. I loaded PD15IMG to root of sdcard and pressed vol down and power button and then got the fail-pu still.
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
Engineering bootloader doesn't help in case of Fail-PU, only on case of "can't mount recovery, cache, etc" but without Fail-PU.
[myTouch 4G General] tjhnf:
Fail-pu doesn't let me do anything to revert to a returnable MT4G. Not cool
[myTouch 4G General] tjhnf:
U recovered from fail-pu? How exactly ?.
[myTouch 4G General] JDV28:
He says it "I was able to push the recovery image manually."

I've heard alot of talk about that being one of the options, but now knowing that the failpu error is caused by a hardware issue, I cant credit this method or believe that it works..
[myTouch 4G General] dcwiker05:
I had the error, recovered from it then got the error again a week later. Have not been able to recover again though using the same method I used last time or any other method I could find on the site. I still have the bricked device if I can help shoot me a PM. I wanna get this little demon off our back!
[myTouch 4G General] donj001:
Where do I check to see which chip it is?
[myTouch 4G General] dcwiker05:
For me manually pushing the recovery via fastboot did work, but I never got the failed PU error. The reason I never got it was because I never tried to flash the image the FIRST time my phone got the CWM errors. I didn't know about that being an option and off the cuff tried the whole flashing an old CWM thing and basically got lucky. Now that my phone has gotten the error again NOTHING works and I get the failed PU error. Whether I would have got this error the first time or not I have no idea.
[myTouch 4G General] tjhnf:
Dcwiker05:

What command did u use? Where does the recovery get pushed to?

~noob

XDA App
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img

Obviously, recovery goes to recovery partition.
[myTouch 4G General] dcwiker05:
what he said. I found it is easiest just to rename the recovery you download to recovery.img so you dont have to type as much. Also all this is done in fastboot under the hboot menu
[myTouch 4G General] tjhnf:
I will try that and see if another rom loads... or at least to load original recovery to return. XDA App
[myTouch 4G General] tjhnf:
Well... tried to push recovery through fastboot and nothing. Tried going and putting the command to make mt4g unable to boot or charge and still nothing.

I still have access to cwm recovery but can't do anything with it or even revert back to stock recovery. Aaaah

[myTouch 4G General] rush_ad:
now i am having this Fail-PU problem when loading PD15IMG.zip. Any of you figured out a way? Please help.
[myTouch 4G General] tjhnf:
No solution has been found. Best option is to return it to Tmobile and get another one because this one is bricked. You can't return it though if it boots to custom recovery. In that case going thru insurance (if you have any) is a better option.
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
Or you can try to load the PD file and just take out the battery while it's doing its thing thus you'll get a complete brick. That way it won't load to CWM so you can return it via defective reasoning.
[myTouch 4G General] tjhnf:
Loading the PD file has not worked for me. I put in sd, let it load half way and take out battery and all it does is shut down, and i still am able to load cw recovery.
[myTouch 4G General] ChriL:
i got hit with the fail stick D:

well this has happened to me :(

i got the dreaded:

ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.4

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

i tried flashing the PD15IMG.zip - all Fail-PU

i can't format any thing through recovery and trying to flash a rom leaves me stuck at the mytouch4g screen or fail and an abort

tried - mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p27

it ran through some stuff but when i rebooted into the recovery i was back in the same place

is there anything i can do or do i have my self a nice brick?

im open to try anyhting :(
[myTouch 4G General] grodz123:
Do you have eng bootloader?
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
Sorry, but it's bricked. Even with the engineering bootloader, I don't think there's anything else you can do. Once you've gotten cache errors in recovery and the Fail-PU message when flashing PD15IMG.zip, it's done.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
If he has engineering bootloader he can manually flash recovery.
[myTouch 4G General] fyaajster:
That is exactly happen to me but I was able to flash PD15IMG.zip and up running again.

Here is what i did:

boot into RCM wipe everything except your sdcard

1. format data, cache, system

2. try to restore from backup (your stock ROM) if it fail let it boot any

3. put PD15IMG and part7backup in your /sdcard boot in RCM let it update (I don't know if the (part7backup) make a different but it work for me.

4. reboot once it done cross your finger and hopefully it will work.
[myTouch 4G General] Freek91:
wow

so this morning i restarted my phone as i do once a week and i went and took a shower...i sit back down at my desk and i go to check my phone to see if i missed any messages or emails and i notice its at a boot screen....so low and behold the phone starts doing

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

so i knew right away what it was and why it was doing it...so i started looking for fixes...the first thing i did was try the PD15IMG.zip...it flashed fine but still cache errors....so i booted into Clockwork and tried to reflash the phone with a backup of my rom...failed while reflashing....tried flashing a new rom totally...failed to flash

so ive been sitting here since 7:22 this morning trying to fix this issue with all the wisdom the internet has....i found this thread and a couple people talked about just flashing PD15IMG.zip and it fixed....well it actually did fix mine...it took 3 flashes of the PD15IMG.zip to actually get it to boot without any cache errors....phone is working just like it did at 6:59 before i rebooted it

still going to see what i can do to swap it out...but man what a frickin morning
[myTouch 4G General] rush_ad:
is there a way to totally brick your phone? i mean brick it so bad that it doesn't even go boot up... that way no one can tell that it was rooted. i would think a totally bricked phone will be easily replaced with warranty.
