[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turpintb:
You might try connecting to USB when at the HBOOT prompt. I believe it may mount the drive and allow you to remove the image file. Then just reboot to HBOOT, and you should be able to go to Recovery.

Thank you, come again.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMcGuire:
Thanks for trying - the sad thing is, it won't let me choose anything because it immediately starts work on the PG05IMG.zip file. And all I can choose is Yes/No to update. And if I choose no, my only option is to reboot, which puts it back into the loop.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMcGuire:
Are both of you guys 50+? If so that would explain your response. I've been rooting for 2+ years now (flashing about every week) and I've never had to have a card reader. Why do I need one now? Because the Thunderbolt's HBOOT was poorly programmed to loop if you have an image file on the sdcard. I admit it was a rant but how hard is it to program Option 3 Back to Main Menu? It isn't hard... It's called bad programming. I've programmed far better myself and I'd call myself a noob when it comes to programming.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bking_soda:
For someone who says to have programmed better, it sure was a stupid idea to not remove that zip file from your SD card wasn't it? Don't get mad at everyone because of your mistake. You bought the ticket, now take the ride. You should be glad its something that's easy to fix. Next time, do what you're supposed to. Thanks by the way for making that comment back. I needed a good laugh this morning.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMcGuire:
Your welcome, always good to have a laugh now and then. Btw, I have SD card readers, what I don't have is a microsd card reader. I don't think they even make those? Just the extenders, the MicroSD --> SD card or USB direct.

I've had the image file on the root of my SD since I rooted months ago. I just didn't assume Hboot would be so badly programmed. I think it's a valid point to make... But nice to know someone's happy today because of me :D
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bking_soda:
And yes they do make micro SD readers. Look near the cameras at best buy. At least that's where I found mine. In the future, just.be sure to always delete the PG05IMG.zip from your SD or at least move it to download folder or rename it. Good luck.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
Also why blame this on poor programing when the user is not supposed to be using hboot anyways! The developers weren't making this for us and I'm sure they know how to remove files from their sd cards. Don't go blaming everyone else for your mistake.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMcGuire:
Whatever... I still think it is bad programming. I don't think what I did was a mistake either, my only mistake was to assume that HTC programmers were intelligent enough not to put a logical error in their programming (a loop). If they had just programmed in a 3rd option to go back to menu, all this would have been avoided. With your logic, programmers shouldn't make things simple and easy... We should all be using dos! If that was the case, Windows never would have been programmed because users should be able to do everything themselves. I work with developers and programmers - that's not how you do things. What I did may be a rant, but I still feel it is a valid one.

You guys wanna bash me for something like this? Fine. Have a go. I get it. Maybe I'm all ****'ed in the head. But if I was programming HBoot, and I've programmed a few things in my day - I would have put an option to go back to main menu.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clark707:
I have the same problem and it frustrates me, especially when i mess up my phone and it wont boot. I like to go in Recovery, thats where i fix everything lol. But i cant get into it because it doesn't let me change the menu :[
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMcGuire:
Thank you. Thank you for letting me know I'm not the only one that thinks this way. You made my day. :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bking_soda:
I just fail to understand why after apparently making it through the root process, people continue to leave these files there. EVERY post regarding anything flashed via PG05IMG.zip through hboot tells you to remove the file after flash. This isn't rocket science. If you can't read and follow directions or suggestions, you shouldn't be tweaking your phone in the first place. We were not intended by the programmers to be doing what we are doing anyhow. Devs have worked very hard since day 1 to allow us these opportunities, if you don't follow their directions you are subject to exactly these types of problems. You can rant and bash all you want... Go spend the $20 on the card reader, be more careful in the future and be glad it isn't going to cost you $100 to replace the phone.

HI

my imei showing 000000000....i flashed my phone and lost my imei....

If any dev restore my imei i will surely

donate.

Thanx in advance
[Galaxy 3 General] neo1691:
had you backed up your efs folder before../???
[Galaxy 3 General] srinivas07:
NO i didnt back my efs folder
[Galaxy 3 General] neo1691:
if you would have backed up your efc then we could have flashed your imei via odin!!

i dont know any other solution. Hope some expert will look into this
[Galaxy 3 General] i_rnb:
Flash any stock rom 1st.. see if it is back..
[Galaxy 3 General] srinivas07:
yaa i had given a try to all those....still it shows 000000000000
[Galaxy 3 General] Tianhe:
On a lighter note --

Steal someone's efs backup, flash it, generate/get a valid IMEI from one of those sources who were doing good business during the "Chinese Phone" fiasco in India and force feed that IMEI :)
[Galaxy 3 General] srinivas07:
should i use the efs which is of only g3 one's or can i use any android one's???
[Galaxy 3 General] Tianhe:
Srinivas buddy - i would like you to note that i am no techno whiz and therefore my comments on this problem may also be taken with a pinch of salt. If i had to hazard a guess, i would surely try a efs backup from G3 rather than any other phone. The problem which will arise after you have flashed the efs & its succesfully working, is that there will be potential conflict of the IMEI in case both phones are active. Therefore, it is imperative to change the IMEI at once - and people do say that getting a valid IMEI is possible

To repeat myself - i am in no way responsible for any damage which may result from the above and hope that the DEVs have a better solution than my wild-ass theory :D
[Galaxy 3 General] srinivas07:
ok...but im a little bit confused...can u clearly explain me...sorry for that
[Galaxy 3 General] Tianhe:
What i mean is that when you "borrow" the efs backup from another phone and flash it to yours - then both the phones will have same IMEI since both carry the same efs information. This may cause problems when both the phones are active on the cellular network and i believe it may also be illegal. Therefore, it is important that you should get a new IMEI number as soon as possible.

Please remember that this is all guesswork and not recommended. However, if you dont care about possibly bricking your phone then atleast choose a efs backup from a phone which is exactly the same model as yours & running the same build / firmware + consult the DEVs before this :)
[Galaxy 3 General] srinivas07:
ok i got it...but how can change my IMEI ??is there any software for that??
[Galaxy 3 General] d92s:
i don't know wheather it will work or not, but just try this,

copy and paste efs folder of some other galaxy 3 to system folder using root explorer and edit .imei file with text editor and type your imei which will be there in bill or it will be on box and save it.
[Galaxy 3 General] srinivas07:
ok i would try it
[Galaxy 3 General] gagan007:
http://www.msai.in/manufacturer.html

Check the above link and get yourself a valid/genuine IMEI number instead of getting into trouble!
[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
if everything else fails, flash the official eclair and update it to froyo via kies. then take it to a samsung centre and say you lost your imei during official update through kies. they ought to fix it
[Galaxy 3 General] devilgod18:
Yup mave is right ..its a perfect solution..
[Galaxy 3 General] deskjeti:
I think this will not work...

No IMEI no Support.
[Galaxy 3 General] srinivas07:
I gonna try it today
[Galaxy 3 General] FadeFx:
I think its pretty much worth a try, to be completely on the safe side u could just flash a firmware with bootloader, when Odin is at bootloader flashing pull the USB cable and the battery, your phone will be a brick then. Just go to service center and tell them that it didn't turn on after a firmware update with kiss.

When I bought it the IMEI and Serial # was written on the box, sales receipt and warranty . Don't you have any of those ? Also the serial # can be used to get the IMEI. Lastly, did you not register the cell on Samsung website which could also have the IMEI.

How to proceed after getting the IMEI is something I am not aware of though.

Has anyone ever heard of(or if you're a dev, ever though of) a rom for the incredible without any phone or 1x/3g capabilities. Cause a lot of us Incredible users are upgrading to a new phone, and I still love my incredible and would probably keep CM7 as a backup, but would love to throw a rom the gets rid of all phone and radio usage to try to max the battery and speed and what not and use it as kind of a ipod touch of sorts.

I look at the roms a lot, but never came across anything? And is anyone else kinda wanting the same type of thing for it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yepitsme19:

[EVO 4G General] Tilde88:
You guys should check out this script V6 SuperCharger !! HTK & BulletProof Launchers!

I'm not sure that many of you know about this script... I recently ran into it.

XDA Thread Link. It's called V6 Supercharger. If you wanna read all the nitty gritty go for it. I'll just tell you what to do for those that just wanna jump to it. It is developed for the Milestone, but memory configuration works about same.

Get this file right here and rename it so as to remove the .txt extension (it was added to allow upload on XDA).

Now move that file into your SD card.

Open up [or first download if needed] Script Manager.

Run the script that you have in your SD card, and be SURE to check 'Run as Root' as WELL as 'Run at Boot'.

When the prompt comes you can read the different presets there are. However, I strongly suggest going with just typing 2 and press enter. It will fix your current memory groupings and put your default launcher as priority 0 with apps and stuff at 2 [meh not exact but something like that].

Then it will tell you to reboot after all the scrolling of text. Do, so. I swear I don't ever get a single lag spike anymore.

THANKS zeppelinrox :D

(I had nothing to do with this script, just referring you guys to it).

After moving to 351 update (15609)

my apps were washed away. (thats ok, as I had too many apps installed anyway!)

Now, I have apks of all the softwares I had before, and which were useful.

Some are paid ones, of which I do not have the installer apks

For the free apps, which I installed without logging on to market, I am not able to see any update menu!

and they are not showing up in My apps (part in market) either.

Help please.

Today the phone got stuck at the lock screen (long time!)

then I restarted it through Power button long press.

Then the Dell logo kept coming again and again.. and it didnt boot~! :eek:

So, I removed the battery cover, and rebooted. then it was fine! (yikes)

I am on stock, no roots, no nothing yet!

Even the default update can cause problems?(Oh, I had not rebooted the phone since 2 days.. but I have gone longer before.. without the phone getting any slower!)

One thing is definitely mentionable though,

The battery life has been exceptional!!

Full charge in the morning (6 am - unplugged)

And, decent browsing (FB + gmail) + 40-50 mins of calls + games for 30-40 mins

and by 7 pm I still have 68% battery :)

That has been the case for past two days (since I upgraded 318 to 351)​

@Strephon Alkhalikoi

you suggest, I flash the phone again?

hmm. Ok, will try that if nothing else works.

Any other suggestions on the table?

One more thing

I had used the Dell Backup and Restore > and used system settings restore too (in the options)

Just thought of putting it, as thats the only thing thats between the flash and the current problem. << (any relation?)

Are your free apps not showing up as installed either...

If you are using pirated apps they normally won't show up as installed, much less allow you to update without paying for them through the market.

Any free apps you use, you shouldn't install them from the sd card, rather install them directly from the market....
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] besony:
none of the apps are showing up (free + paid)

No pirated ones. Paid ones (only 2 of them, but, even those arent showing up!!)

About installing free apps from market-

well, that is one solution. but,

my question is exactly the corollary of that!

Why are sideloaded apps not showing up, when they did just finely show up, when I was on 318 !!?

What happens when you guys 'sideload' any app?

Let me know.

P.S. People are discussing it on market.google.com/discussions as a 'market-sync' issue! as stated in prev post of mine.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jim-bo:
Since google released their web-based market interface, the definitive list of apps on your phone (as shown in the market app) comes from the list on the website, which is the list of apps that were downloaded and installed through the market.

If you sideload something, it doesn't appear on this list.

In the past, pre- the web interface to the market, the definitive list was generated by the market app by scanning your phone. Not any more.

The only way now to get the apps to appear in the market app as installed is to install them through the market app (or market website).

Best workaround I know of is to use appbrain's app market. The app in that still scans your phone for the list, and can check for updates, and then uses the standard market to install the updates, so from then on the app is listed in the standard market.

So, basically, to get the apps listed in your standard market app's list, don't sideload.
