[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostywinter:
I have a Telstra (Australia) HTC Desire which is just a spare phone so I was playing around with some ROMS and successfully installed the Cyanogen7 Mod ROM and all was working fine - I then downloaded another rom on the device via the ROM Manager App (I cant recall its name now) .. Anyhow it downloaded OTA to the Desire but all I have now is some nice colours coming from outside of screen into the middle making an X - nothing but that :confused:

Even pulling the battery results with the above..

Before loading this rom I did make a note of the following version on my HTC

32.48.00.32u_5.11.05.14

I really just want to put the phone back to factory ROM..

Could someone kindly help me out with what to do..

I did find a link here with ROM's for the Desire but I get the error

Error(140) Bootloader can not update -get the correct update utility and try again??

Many Tks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr1960:
Hi Frosty.

The pretty x pattern you describe is the boot screen originally from the nexus.

There was probably some problem with the new ROM you tried to flash, and when it boots, you only get that far.

If you had a CM ROM on your device previously, why not go back to that?

Hate to see a good man go back to stock after one little problem :)

You need to have the ROM on your SD card.

Boot your Desire by holding the volume down button and press and hold power.

After a few seconds you should get a bit of a menu on a white screen.

Using the power down button, highlight the 'recovery' option and press the power button. That should take you to your recovery menu. Select 'wipe data/factory reset' and press the optical joystick. Once that has completed, select (using the power up/down buttons) 'install zip from sd card'.

Find your CM ROM zip, move to highlight it (you guessed it, volume up/down buttons again) the press the optical joystick again. This will install the ROM you selected and you should be back in business.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostywinter:
Excellent - tks for your quick help :)

OK I have done as you say but the only .zip file on the SD card at the "Choose a zip to apply" is one called update.zip and using this results back at the "Nexus Screen"

So seems I dont have the rom on the SD card?

Whats my next course of action?

Tks Frosty

Edit: OK all is ok now after a reboot it came back on with the ROM I loaded (deFroST 6.0j) - tks for your help

This is all just to help me learn Android - my new SE Experia Arc is arriving this week :)

Hi guys,

I have checked/searched for similar threads but I didn't get a definitive answer to my query (I thought I would mention that before the usual suspects have a go at me :p).

Nevertheless, my question relates to the OTA. I gave in and updated using the RUU two weeks ago but the OTA has been pushed since. My question is.. will I be pushed the OTA to flash over the RUU?

I know the RUU and OTA are most probably the same but I am hoping the later released OTA may have the WIFI issue fixed so I am keen to try it.

Many thanks.. I will look forward to responses. :)

KKH
[Desire HD General] m7svk:
Just let you know, I done research too, and find out, ruu and ota for unbranded dhd are same, there is no any different, if wifi issue is there try factory reset, I have RUU, no wifi problem at all, using ruu nearly month..., hope this help...

Is anybody having problems after this update?

[HTC Inspire 4G] j.petritus@comcast.net:
I flashed Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 on my Inspire 4G and it went through fine, but how do access the old notifications screen where I can switch from charging to sync, disk drive, tethering, and internet pass through. What am I missing. Is there any way to get the old home screen on CyanogenMod 7!
[HTC Inspire 4G] akkasha:
I am hoping someone answers this. I fear that ability might be lost with Cyanogenmod.

I am willing to try another rom to get that functionality back. The internet passthrough is really useful when I am at work. There isn't any open wifi and I don't want to burn through all my data plan.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kareemzayat:
hey guys,

i have a nexus one 2.3.3 when i try to update to 2.3.4

it says (ERROR status 7) in the bootloader. can anyone help?

thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Have you done anything to the phone's original software? Custom kernel, rooting, custom recovery, etc?

The error 7 basically means that the signature checks don't match and it doesn't upgrade to prevent bricking your phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kareemzayat:
Yes. I rooted and used to have cm7

Does it matter?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
If you are already rooted, just flash a rooted version of 2.3.4. It can be found here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1061648

And yes, when you root the phone, you change the signature of the install, so the upgrade fails. It makes sure the signature matches, otherwise you could end up with a broken phone. (If it didn't check for signatures, it could apply the partial update to a froyo or eclair version, and prevent the phone from booting.)

If you really want the OTA update, you would have to remove everything you did to root the phone and flash the update... and unless you unlocked the bootloader, there currently isn't a way to root 2.3.4.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
You really should specify that the ROM you are pointing to is not a stock ROM, and any further OTA's will not install on that ROM.

NOT true at all. Rooting has no impact on whether you can receive and install OTA updates.

Here are the main things that will prevent an OTA from installing:

1) a custom kernel;

2) if you remove pre-installed applications from the /system partition

3) if you flash a de-odexed ROM (...that is why the ROM you linked to is not really a stock ROM.)

Rooting makes not difference at all.

NOPE.

If you have a stock ROM, all you have to do is make sure you have a stock kernel, and have all the pre-installed applications in your ROM. Nothing else.

If you have a de-odexed "stock" ROM, rooted or not, there is no way you can flash an OTA update (unless you de-odex it, repack it, and then flash it...)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
I read on a number of sites that people were getting the Status 7 error due to them rooting and only rooting.

The first time I rooted my phone I put CyanogenMod on there, so I never had any experience with trying to get OTA updates.

But thanks for the info, I will store it and remember it for future reference.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
I suspect it is because they "rooted" by flashing a "stock" ROM like the one to which you linked. Although it looks stock and, for the most part, behaves like a stock ROM, it is not, as it is de-odexed. If someone want to flash a stock Gingerbread ROM, they need to flash one like the first link in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=968396

That ROM is not de-odexed. To get root, you just need to flash the superuser zip over top, and you have a rooted-but-otherwise-totally-stock ROM, which will receive and install all OTA updates.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
When the phone arrives, will this so called xtc clip help us out in anyway with the locked bootloader? I've only heard about the xtc clip as of today. Dont really know much about it. Feel free to chime in if you have any knowledge of this.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
No one knows?
[HTC EVO 3D] Kingmac38:
Its really expensive like 190.00 they are all over eBay but no real word on if it will work. Sensation is waiting on a patch for it to work . Your guess is as good as mine. I have read where some people buy it and then use it to do other people's phones also and charge like 30 to 40 bucks. Xtc has a web site and a forum that's where I read this info.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
Yeah I saw there website last night.
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
It may not be updated to run on the EVO 3d raskall from rebel xtc said that the sensation he is not updating it.

We need to keep hopes up I just thought before you buy those go to there forums and look up the phone you have to see if it will even work.. let's hope we don't have that same answer for the 3d.......

[HTC EVO 3D] xboxhaxorz:
i have the xtc clip and updates come out very quickly. they are great on that respect so while it may not be supported now it should be very soon after it gets released.

if none of you have the clip, i would be happy to help you with rooting yours. pm me and i can do it for $20 shipped for xda members or if you live in VA come on by and ill do it.

I've been using a matte screen protector on my Galaxy Tab since I got it. Loved that it barely needed wiping..but hated the "rainbow" color effect it had on the screen, particularly on whites. Replaced it yesterday with a clear/gloss protector and i like it better, even though it attracts fingerprints like anything. I was just wondering, since the SGT has a gorilla glass screen, do we really need to use a screen protector for it?

Does anybody use their tab naked?

(i'm talking about the Tab here being naked, not you:rolleyes:)

I just feel like I might be missing out on a better Galaxy Tab experience because I keep my tab in a thick case with a screen protector.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Sef_P1000:
I tired it once. It feels smother actually, and considering the gorilla glass, a protector isn't really needed. However, there's probably the psychological impact of it. You know, glass is still glass. :-P
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] olaf bosch:
I use the tab naked and naked ;-)

no screen protector but a case that protects realy nice.

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] feihiro:
I am using the anti-glare screen guard.. it guards perfectly for my oily fingers hehe..
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Vorpal:
Sorry man, I don't think you will get a perfect answer. Some people's screens will have never scratched however some do get scratched although they are careful. Gorilla glass is not scratch proof, just more resistant to scratches than a normal non enhanced glass or plastic screen. There may be minerals in all sorts of places (cleaning cloth, pocket, car seat) which are harder than glass which could scratch your tabs screen.

The fact that you have been putting screen protectors in the first place and also have created this thread gives me the impression that you want a perfect screen. But there is always a trade off... no protection gives smoother and a greater touchscreen experience but a protector will prevent any possible scratches to your screen.

My advice would be for you to leave your screen protector on. Glossy is fine as fingerprints are not really visible when backlight is on.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] troubleshot:
I have used them for a while. I installed a XO Skin on my gtab and my 10.1 io. The best thing, (besides stopping scratches) is they hide finger prints and smudges. Heres a link

Screen protectors from xoskins

I used the code byublue for $3 off, paid for shipping..
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] kupuguy:
Same here and I have absolutely no scratches on the screen. I do however keep my tab in a case whenever it isn't in use.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] pawces:
i guess there is no definite answer to this, as with a lot of things, it comes down to preference...

honestly now that i think about it, having a screen protector gives me the peace of mind that i did everything I could to protect the screen. I let other people use it, i stuff it in my bag with more confidence. If i take the screen protector off I might end up being an over-protective galaxy tab parent, always polishing the screen, always checking for scratches. :p

I think i'll be sticking with the glossy protector for a while. :)

ps. can anyone suggest the clearest possible screen protector i could get?
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] tigercorp:
I used my Tab for 4 months naked without issue, then got a little paranoid before going on holiday.

The day after the Techskin arrived (and before I put it on) I drop the Tab on my driveway resulting in 2 tiny marks :( The marks aren't huge, but I can't help but notice them everytime I see the screen

*sigh*
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Gadgetguy2005:
I have used a screen protector on all my past tablets ( my GT is my 5th tablet ).

Using the protector allowed me to sell my previous tablets (when upgrading to the next one) with a 100% looking screen.

I use the GT without a screen protector (and with a case permanently on), as I intend to keep it for a while - and at the time I will maybe want to sell it, it will not be worth too much whether there are slight traces of use on the screen or not. It does look better and has better touch sensitivity with no screen protector on - no doubt about that.

But if I ever get a scratch on the glass - I can still put a screen protector on, which makes that scratch disappear.

My second current table (iPad) has a screen protector on, as my small kids often play on it . Also, the ipad has no case on it (only a back cover) - so the front is more exposed.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] siacotos:
I use skinomi on my tab, incrediable, and ipod touch. They are almost like a vinyl. Very clear and I had very small bubbles when I installed it but the next day all of the imperfections disappeared. Like if you get a piece of dust under there during installation you don't get the air bubble with it. And they are cut to fit.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] FC1032:
I was given a screen protector when I bought mine in the shop. They even applied it for me :) I think it the brand was screenguard.

I have a case for the tab, so i don't know how scratch resistant it is. As for the screen, it still looks great, but at extreme angles, there are coloured grains when viewing whites.

Its overall very good and is sized perfectly, I sometimes forget there's a screen protector!
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] ryn888:
I used my tab without screen protector. Screen protector is useless for a gorilla glass. I already tried scratching my tab using a key and scissor. No scratch at all. Try it guys.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] crimsonred36:
I got the Invisible Shield protector from Zagg. They had a 50% off deal going for Memorial Day, so it came to like $13. From what I read, I might not need it. But I still bought it, just in case. Now all I'm waiting for is my Tab to arrive from Woot!
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] bloodredshoes:
I use one of those cheapy anti-glare matte screen protectors. It makes reading things on the tab a bit easier on the eyes and prevents a lot of fingerprint smudging, however it also covers up the nice screen. So it just boils down to preference since the tab's screen is made of gorilla glass.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] namaseit:
Screen Protector definitely. I love the gloss screen but fingerprints annoy me and glare can be bothersome. I got 3 for $4 bucks and only used one so I figure if a huge gouge gets in the screen protector the screen will be good and I have 2 extras.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] crysalis786:
I acquired my gsm galaxy tab last week, and I am extremely pleased with it. However I have been using it without a screen protector or a case. Unfortunately, I have managed to get abminornscrstch on the screen of my Tab. I was travelling with it in my pocket, but I never kept it with anything else, nevertheless I somehow managed to scratch it. So now I am on the lookout for a decent screen protector as I suspect my device's gorilla glass screen is probably not the strongest, all devices are not equal, there will always be some minor variation in quality in the hardware between devices, eg, CPU - some can be heavily undervolted AND overclocked and others freeze even if you attempt a minor overclock.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Rayan McFly:
It is not necessary to use a protector screen with gorilla glass!! Protect your Tab with a neoprene case!
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] jpleez:
I myself use that plastic film that came on my GTab when I bought it. You know, those cheap screen protectors that are added on at the factory before they get to the consumer. I just carefully peel the screen protector off, so as not to bend it, and then cut the little tab part off of it and rounded it out to fit the dimensions of the screen. Then I will spray water onto the tacky part that touches the screen and place it back on and the squeegee out the water to the edges. Works perfect every time, and it is removable and reusable. I do this will all of my phones too.

Hi,

This weekend I bought a HTC Flyer and I'm so happy. There is one thing though that's killing me...

I also bought a Bluetooth keyboard so I can write faster when I write large texts etc. The thing is though that I can't change the keyboard layout to German (even if the Keyboard has a physical layout of German, the software keyboard layout is still English).

I can't find anything under the "Languages and Keyboard" settings so I'm currently a bit desperate.

How can I get my German configured android system to understand to use a "Germany layout keyboard" and not a "English layout"?

I really hope that someone can support me here...

Thanks

hello there to everyone

as this is my first post on this forum, i'd like to take this line to thank all of you whom share information, knowledge, and whatnot to all others: Thank You.

posting here to request the same informtion: pairing an external bluetooth keyboard forces said keyboard to be in english layout, whatever the keyboard. (in my case: french).

In locale the bluetooth keyboard does appears, offering Three settings, but none regarding layout.

I personaly see this as a feature that is lacking due to the fact that the os is intended to be primarily used via touchscreen keyboard; but i also think this feature is needed big time. now heading to official android feature request to see if it has been added to newer versions (am runing 2.3) and if not, request it.
