[Thunderbolt General] dopediculous:
OK Guys and Gals, Here is what is going on with the radio issue. No Matter WHAT radio combos you may be using. As some of you may know by my earlier posts I live in a huge 4G network and never get anything, but 4G and (3G only for a min on boot) This is why I didn't have ANY issue's until I got curious and wanted to try something. On our tbolts, if you try to make a call while in 3G the 3G will drop out until the call is over. I went back to froyo, got pissed and went strait back to GB (doesn't matter what Rom as all the dev have clearly stated) when I did go back to GB things were tight as usual. worked like a charm. I used it as I normally would and everything was fine. upon a self induced restart, before my phone had a chance to obtain 4G (still in 3G) I decided to make a test call to see if the 3G would drop. It didn't. Quickly after I ended the call the phone booted in to bootloader. Thank God I had removed the GB RUU because I don't have a card reader to remove the RUU. I forgot to mention I do have the latest Rom Mgr and was able to get into recovery and simply reboot. After that reboot I would get to my home screen, but this time the 3G only would come up and then reboot. Time after time of rebooting I tried other things such as toggle radio to just grab 4G, then the phone rebooted again! upon the next full boot I quickly moved the original froyo radio strait to the sd card. And yet another reboot. This time I got a Rom Mgr error and noticed that Rom mgr was no longer flashed!!! I flashed it real quick because I knew another reboot was on its way. Rom mgr flashed and I told it to boot in to recovery. Thank **** I flashed Rom manager because if not I would be in continuous boots like the unfortunate others. Once in recovery I Realized that I had told my phone to go in to recovery via Rom mgr. and if I did a restore, the phone would have booted back up with my froyo rom but with the GB radio! so I told CWR to just reboot so I could tell the phone to go into recovery via the pwr restart option (thus not restarting after I flashed my froyo recovery) Once recovery of my froyo rom was complete I used ADB to reboot bootloader and SUCCESS! Bottom line you can not make a call while on 3G with any of the current GB radios, you gotta be quick, Make sure ROM mgr is actually flashed!!!! and hopefully can dump the froyo radio on to your SD card before an inevitable reboot happens! and have some ADB knowledge. I'm certain this is whats going on! People make a call while in 3G and its all down hill from there. So dont bother with telling radio settings to stick with one band. Once this happens, there is no turning back. Any questions PM me. I'm glad I tried this out before Vaca tomorrow with a FUBAR Tbolt :)

Hope this helps developers somehow. Good luck!

Also check a couple quotes from the development thread. Remember I'm going on vacation n won't be able to reply to many comments. Maybe just share your experience. Thank you
[Thunderbolt General] corenojoe:
The people with the reboots can't get to Rom manager or recovery or anything. It reboots even if you try to gget in Clockwork.
[Thunderbolt General] smalltownbird:
I live in a 3g only area and make calls all the time on 3g. I have myine set to cdma auto so its always on 3g and mine hasn't done it yet. I'm on the gb radio
[Thunderbolt General] dopediculous:
Yes this is true because your phone doesn't try to toggle to the 4g lte radio
[Thunderbolt General] dopediculous:
They can't get into rom Mgr because they didn't notice rom manager needed reflashed right before first reboot.
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
I live in a 4G area, was running GB Bamf rom. Made plenty of calls on 3G and on 4G lte. Never had this happen.
[Thunderbolt General] bp328i:
OK, first off ROM Manager and Clockwork Recovery are two different things.

ROM Manager is an app and Clockwork is your recovery.

If your phone is bricked you can't get into ROM Manager because the phone will not boot up. They can get into Clockwork for...oh I don't know, maybe 2 - 5 seconds and they the phone reboots again. Ask me how I know ;)

A bootloop is NOT your phone bricking, if it was I would have bricked many, many phones in my time. If when you press power and volume down your phones brings up the bootloader. If you select recovery and your phone brings up your recovery screen without bootlooping you are fine.
[Thunderbolt General] distortedloop:
refresh my memory, my poor old brain is on overload from all the brick posts....

Aren't the "bricked" phones also unable to stay in hboot for more than a few seconds without rebooting? If so, then what the OP is stating is NOT the same thing others reported because he states he could reflash the radio, suggesting a stable hboot/bootloader.

Seems like if you've got a stable hboot, you're not truy bricked, as the first post here shows....
[Thunderbolt General] funkybside:
If you have a bricked device please go post in the stickied thread in app/dev.

Oh and OP - Paragraphs are a good thing. Just sayin...
[Thunderbolt General] dopediculous:
I ment while in rom Mgr to make sure cwr is actually flashed. Mine was then after reboot I noticed cwr was no longer there. In rom Mgr it just said what the current cwr would be if I choose to flash it. If people miss this after a stupid reboot, the next reboot may not be so kind...
[Thunderbolt General] corenojoe:
In fewer words that's exactly what I was saying. Seems like he thinks Rom Manager is recovery.
[Thunderbolt General] bp328i:
Mine was a TRUE bricked phone but my bootloader stilled would stay on. The bootloader screen was the only thing that would not bootloop. I was able to flash the stock RUU and stock bootloader and it still would not go past the splash screen.
[Thunderbolt General] bp328i:
Mine was bricked last Saturday, I don't have the phone anymore. It's been sent off for repair. Lucky me gets to rock my DInc for the next 2 - 3 weeks, DAMN 3G is slow.
[Thunderbolt General] bp328i:
Your phone will still reboot without a recovery. There was an issue awhile back when I had my OG Droid with ROM Manager wiping out recovery. People would try to boot into recovery to fix something and oops no recovery.

You can flash a recovery image via adb.
[Thunderbolt General] PJnc284:
yeah, that was annoying. Believe that's when they told everyone to check the "erase recovery" option in the Rom Manager settings and that seemed to help.
[Thunderbolt General] bp328i:
Really funny thing was that was going on right when the Froyo leak came out for the OG Droid and the first ROM I flashed I hated. So when I went to flash my nan-droid there was no recovery and I did not know about the issue so I ended up sbf'ing back to stock and rerooting again.
[Thunderbolt General] toadzilla:
I have seen a bootloop on a phone that was not running GB or rooted. A guy I work with brought me his phone a few weeks ago and wanted me to let him use my battery to boot his phone. When I put my battery in and saw what it was doing i booted it into Hboot (of course S-on) so I couldn't do much for him. Of course the Verizon Tech's weren't much help to him either, but they did send him a CLN Device. You can pass this along to jcase as I don't have enough posts to be able to post in the DEV forum yet. I read and rarely post unless I believe I have something useful to add.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Omega2513:
So I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for the Pandigital Multimedia Novel. It is Android OS but sadly it is not connected to the Android market. The market it does have is a bit limited but it can support most 3rd-party applications so I was wondering what applications you can recommend. This tablet doesn't have mobile functions, just wifi internet capabilities.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
coming from a G2, i have flashed a many a roms, did wipes, etc. my question is not toally newbish, but is newbish to the G2x.

i did the nvflash, installed the newer CWM, comfirmed that i have a recovery setup,etc...

now, from this point is anything different compared to doing it on the G2? i still scroll down to install update from SD card and stuff like that, and install the zip file and phone does all the work?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
Yes, should be the same as any other phone with CWM. As long as the flashable .zip is made for CWM and your phone, you're good to go :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
Cool. It worked fine. I was just wanting to confirm. All went well
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mathedrivein:
Hey guys I'm coming from Windows mobile and I've never used CWM before. I rooted, installed CWM using Gunman's directions last night, and I downloaded CM7 to my extSD but I just don't know exactly what to do next. Is there a link someone could provide me or give me directions on the steps I need to take after I'm loaded into recovery?

Do I just wipe and then install zip from the folder? Thanks for the help. Sorry for being a newb.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Nivek91:
So once you have recovery, you can now flash custom roms, kernals and themes.

1. Put the files you've downloaded into you ext SD

2. Reboot into recovery by pressing and holding power + vol down button til you see a red recovery screen

3. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP

4. Wipe data/cache

5. Install .zip

6. Choose the ROM that you want to flash

7. Reboot

Edit: Also if you'd like to save your apps and their data, I suggest installing Titanium backup and make backups for your apps before you flash anything. And if all else fails, just reboot back to recovery and restore your nandroid backup
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jesrazo:
Somewhere I must have done something different, when I boot into CWM thru the button method I get the red recovery but it doesn't see my backups. When I use Rom Manager, and boot into recovery I get the orange/yellow recovery and it shows my backups. What I need to do to fix so the red recovery sees my backups?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mathedrivein:
Thanks a lot for the step-by-step list. For some reason when I navigate my folders in CWM the .zip files are not showing up. For CM7, then only file that it will allow me to install is the boot_animation.zip, which I'm sure won't boot the actual CM7 software. Oy ve. I'll keep messing around with it and see what I can figure out. Maybe I'll load a few other roms and see if those .zip files will show up when I navigate the folders.

Has anybody had this problem? Loading the boot.img file to a particular area on your ext_sd card (which was the one I set up when I installed CWM and nvidia or whatever it's called), and then once you try to find it it doesn't show up? Ugh. I'll try at it some more tonight and let you guys know what I find out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mathedrivein:
I don't have to rename the boot.img file to update.sd.zip or anything do I? I should just be able to navigate to the folder and install the file, right?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] knuckelpuc:
You don't want to unpack the .zip file. The way you downloaded it should be the way you put it on your SD card. Do not rename anything inside the .zip.

So, take the cm7.zip file that you installed, whatever the exact name of it is, and copy that to your external sd card. When you're in recovery, pick the option to chose .zip from sd card, navigate to the .zip you just placed on the card, and it should ask you to install it.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you're confused about anything
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
If I were to flash cm7 is the newer red text bootloader OK to use?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mathedrivein:
Alright, I think I got it. On my old HD2 I used to have to unzip the deal when I would run it from my sd card. I think that's where I was confused. So I just download the .zip file, don't extract it at all, place it in the folder, and just run it straight from my phone. Thanks for your help. Hopefully now it will work.

EDIT: That worked. Thanks knuckelpuc. Woohoo, CM7 how I've missed you.

[General Questions and Answers] manrock111:
Hello to all, i am new android user and i have a good time with my device. I have one very very silly question.

What are the benefit of titanium backup?

Im very confuse to use it. It only has backup and restore function.

Some of my question in regarding to TB are....

1. Do this also backup whole gameloft games means apk info + sd data?

2. Why all write, must app for root phone?

3. Major advantages?

Please tell me ur experience :-)
[General Questions and Answers] SuperDeform:
One major advantage is to have your files backed up as if you wanted to change from rom to another without bricking or losing everything on your phone
[General Questions and Answers] nakedirish:
It's an easier way of restoring apps and/or data if you change ROMs or the like. I've not had as much success with it as I would like. Since ROMs are often very different, restoring does not always play well with others. Give it a whirl, you may like what you find.
[General Questions and Answers] manrock111:
If i backup any gameloft game then it just make small backup file where game is very large in size. So how to backup gameloft gzmes?

Sent from my GT-I9003
[General Questions and Answers] caffeinated chris:
it also has the capability of freezing or uninstalling bloatware apps. not to mention that it backs up contacts, and text messages. it allows you to backup your entire system settings and apps and all the info for all the apps.

It is a verryyy useful app. especially if you are switching roms like the guy above said ^^

and as far as I know it backs up any and all apps. So I imagine it will backup "Gameloft Games" apps as well. It doesnt pick and choose which apps to backup and which ones not to backup(although you should do that manually) it automatically will backup all apps and data if you tell it to.

[General Questions and Answers] Bigdragon2k3:
As far as I know it only backs up the apk and your settings/save data. For the bigger files which you download after such as a gameloft game you will probably have to redownload the file.

I just received a very nice and friendly personal email from HTC's CEO Peter Chou...he said that the reason they chose to lock newer devices down was, "to reduce the potential quality problem when users upgrade their phones."

I sent him a reply and asked if current shipped and unshipped locked down devices would be "unlocked" with future OTA updates. I'll let you know what he says if he responds.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
Would definitely be nice if they did, especially for the recently released phones. If they do, I don't see it being done until they release an update for other stuff.

That said, I doubt I'll let my DINC2 go even if it's only on new phones moving forward unless I really like something. I'm quite happy with this phone, even if it only does temp root at the moment.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benhc911:
What happens:

The phone refuses to play most media types, refusing to play songs, movies etc that had played without issue previously.

Music:

The stock touchwiz music player refuses to play mp3s, cycling through the playlist attempting several songs before exiting back to the list, displaying the error message "Sorry the player does not support this type of audio file". The same message is given when trying to use Fede's music app (fedecarnale's wp7 style music player)...

Video:

The video player gives the message "Sorry, this video cannot be played." while an alternative app QQ player plays the media without problems. Another example is the youtube app which gives "There was a problem while playing Touch to retry".

When does it happen:

This problem presents on both my Captivate and my girlfriends Vibrant after a non specific amount of time. One the problem presents, it remains regardless of memory or cache clearing, app closing etc.

What fixes it (temporarily):

As soon as one of these errors is given, the other apps behave the same way, and a reboot fixes the issue temporarily.

So I don't know enough about how the phone works to sort out the common cause of it all... but I can give you any information you want if it will help you sort it out... I realize that the difference between QQ and video player must be different than between fede's and the music player... I gather that he must be using more of the same stuff whereas QQ might bring its own codecs or whatnot... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

tldr:

I'm having media/codec issues with my SGS on froyo, have you heard of the problem? any ways to fix it?
