[HTC Wildfire S] mars83:
Hi,

I wanted to update my ROM which was shipped with phone (Vodafone IE) to ordinary Europe one. Downloaded Wildfire_S_RUU_Marvel_HTC_Europe_1.33.401.2_Radio_47.10.35.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_185724_signed and during update I get error 131. Is that fault of Vodafone or Windows 7 or USB cable or I need to root phone first?
[HTC Wildfire S] Hakim Rahman:
it seems you need to do a gold card method to be successful in updating, to create a Goldcard with goldcardtool look at >> http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/
[HTC Wildfire S] mars83:
Already done it. I did forget to post it. GoldCard works perfectly.
[HTC Wildfire S] bonesy:
ERROR 131 is a CID error so is definately Goldcard problems.Does the sdcard have more than 1 partition?
[HTC Wildfire S] mars83:
Well my Wildfire S is branded+unbranded phone. I couldn't get European update as it needed to be Vodafone one. So I downloaded 1-click GoldCard app and done it on shipped 2GB Sandisk card (I use Transcend 8GB class6). Then I left my GoldCard in phone and updated it without problems. I didn't create any extra partition (I don't know what the app did though)

@mars83 what name u use for zip extracted from exe ??
[HTC Wildfire S] mars83:
I think it doesnt matter. I just unzipped file and used "stock" name :)
[HTC Wildfire S] m3ritum:
I tried almost everything... Now it's 140 Error with boot loader version. Maybe I should wait for newest rom than :PG76IMG_Marvel_HTC_Europe_1.33.401.2_Radio_47.10.35.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_185724_signed.zip ??

hello ppl long time whit out visiting my favorite place, but now i really need help, some of my friends just bought a EVO, but every time that he try to turn it on, the phone show the splash scree (htc evo bla bla bla) and than star to looping back never pass from that scree, so how i can fix this isuue, thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan.kels.r:
is the phone rooted? if not take it back to sprint! if its rooted try wiping everything and flashing a rom
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Is your friend's phone rooted? Check to see if he or she can get to the bootloader menu. With the phone turned completely off, simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until the phone starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text should flash across the screen. After that, he or she will be given options on the left side of the screen.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juancaperez2000:
it looks that is not rooted, only had fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock n hboot usb, also i can not go in recovery way to flash rom cause start to looping
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
At the top of the bootloader screen, you will see either "S-ON" or "S-OFF". If it displays "S-ON" then the EVO needs to be rooted. Your friend should still be able to download and flash one of the RUU roms from HERE. Make sure he chooses the one that coincides with his HBoot. The hboot version can also be viewed in the bootloader menu. In regard to the RUU roms, the exe versions are run from within Windows and the zip version are flashed via the bootloader. If using the zip version, rename the file to PC36IMG.zip.

my bad the phone is root it show me s-off, could i flash sprint lovers rom the once that should go by hboot
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Sorry for the delayed response. I was driving home. Anyway, if you cannot get into recovery, you will need to reflash a recovery. Click on the name "amon_RA" in my signature to download its PC36IMG.zip or click HERE and place it on the root of your SD Card. Make sure that no other file with that name is on the root of your card. Afterwards, power off and then boot into the bootloader. After a short pause, the bootloader should auto-detect the file and prompt you to install. Follow the easyy prompts to install. Installation takes less than 10 seconds. Afterwards, go to your new recovery and flash whatever rom you want. Now, in regard to your question about the Sprint Lover's rom, if there is a version flashable via the bootloader, then yes, it *should* work for you.

i flash ra recovery but when i try go on it the phone start to bootlooping again,f#ck
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Turn off your device and remove the SD card. Afterwards, reboot into the bootloader and then select recovery and see if it will allow you.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juancaperez2000:
no, still looping hate this phone lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Okay, do you have a backup of your SD card? If so, reformat and/or re-partition your card. Re-flash amon_RA and try getting into the recovery again. Are you certain you are still "S-OFF"?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Sounds like you have the same problem a lot of people are having, where you can't get past the White EVO screen.

I can't find the link, but I did save a walk through that someone wrote. It takes some work, but this does apparently work.

You will need to use ADB for this

"Okay, I don't claim to know this will work for your phone nor do I claim it won't ruin your phone. That said if you decide to continue with the instructions below I can not be held liable for any negative/undesireable effects. I don't think you will get any symptoms worse than the dreaded bootloop that has inevitably led you here, but I could be wrong.

I will include almost everything needed to complete the steps that brought my Evo back after writing a complete NV list from an HTC Mogul. (accidentally)

You will need to download the following:

RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe

http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph....651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe

EVO_Softbrick.zip (extract to C:\)

http://www.4shared.com/file/VlJ9mpJR/EVO_Softbrick.html

The zip contains the Adb and fastboot files that you'll need as well as the PC36IMG.zip that you need to flash from the sdcard.

1.Turn Evo on while holding the volume down button. Verify it boots into bootloader. Pull battery.

2.Format sdcard to FAT32 and copy PC36IMG.zip to it, insert card into phone and reboot into bootloader.

This is where the phone should find the .zip and flash the new spoofed Hboot, After the phone reboots it will show as

Hboot version 2.10 this is fine. Time to verify fastboot commands are working.

3.While in bootloader select fastboot by pressing down on the volume button and pressing the power button to select.

4.Plug phone into your computer and cancel any driver installs, open device manager and look for "Android 1.0"

This is where you should double click on "Android 1.0" and choose Update Driver>Browse my computer>Let me pick.

Highlight "Show All Devices" and select Next, Now choose "Have Disk".

5.Navigate to the "Driver" folder in my zip and select androidusb.INF.

Now verify that it installs and shows "My HTC".

Time to start fasboot.

6.Start cmd prompt, just copy the commands (without quotes) below into the window:

"cd C:\EVO\ADB"

"fastboot devices"

Verify that it shows your device.

Now send following commands

(I think all commands should work but some may not be allowed, I refuse to format my Evo just to test it though)

"fastboot erase nv"

"fastboot erase userdata"

"fastboot erase system"

"fastboot erase recovery"

"fastboot erase microp"

"fastboot erase boot"

"fastboot erase radio"

"fastboot flash nv nv.img"

Assuming all has been successful thus far then run the RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe.

That should be it. Hopefully your phone boots up. Enjoy.

These steps worked for my friend 1justformail as well, Modified Hboot was created by thefredelement.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceNova:
I am running CM7 7.0.3 atm and am wondering what is the best way to get 720p video recording at a decent fps i know it was possible with CM6 and that that hasn't yet been ported to CM7 so i assume i need to change roms but i'd rather not go back to something froyo based, i've become accustomed to the look'n'feel of gingerbread xD

But anyways, any feedback would be nice :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You can try Gingerbread Sense (RCADS mixHD). AFAIK, that's the only GB ROM that supports 720p recording.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceNova:
thanks for this tip off, however i dont think imma flash that just yet, for one because it would forever to back up/format/partition my sd card and cause sense is too bloaty :P... i hope that soon it can be on an AOSP build... becasue even stock 480p fps is just atrocious.. and pretty much unusable
[General Questions and Answers] EussieD:
Hi guys, new to ths and apologies if I am asking something already asked but I tried to check and didn't see anything similar. I was send a samsung galaxy s vibrant from the US and it was unlocked in my country (Zimbabwe). The phone worked fine for a while and then started having a weird problem. The phone loses network or does not recognise the sim card but if I restart the phone whilst the USB cable is connected into a computer then it reads the sim card and also gets network. Any ideas what the problem might be or more importantly how to solve it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SENORBERNS:
So im on an i9000.

I was on Darkys Rom 9.5 for months. It was raining pretty hard here and my phone got wet for like maybe <5 seconds. The menu and back key began to stop working. I dried phone and thye began to work but then my phone wouldnt turn off it would flash on/off. After taking out battery and putting it back in that fixed itself, but then slowly the home button stopped working. I did a factory reset, still didnt work. But I then tried going to download and recovery using 3 button method...and I could. But I couldn not get response from home button while the phone was on in normal usage mode. I flashed Darkys 10.1 still same problem.

[Droid X General] baz2a:
I would like to use this post to document any way to manual root .596 gingerbread. I know p3droid is doing awesome work building prerooted updates but having a manual route is always nice.

Thank you everyone.

Edit...mistyped version number.
[Droid X General] misdirection:
....

Its .596 ................
[Droid X General] chbennett:
I did. Since I was on the .595 and I had the older radio, I had to SBF back to 2.3.340 first and because of that I had to lose my recent data (last froyo nandroid was two months ago). Anyways it seems to be nearly identical to the .595 once it is up and running. My two cents
[Droid X General] jldeitch:
I have an X that's running stock Gingerbread, and I'd like to root it. So a manual root method that doesn't require SBFing back to Froyo would be very welcome...
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Why does everyone act like SBF'ing is so hard? It takes ten to fifteen minutes and has the same amount if not less risk than flashing a rom
[Droid X General] cspell:
It's not that it is hard, but at least I would hate to loose all my data & time spent setting up the phone.

But if this is the only method of getting root I will be sbf'ing soon. But I wonder what this means for the Droid X2 which I assume is already on GB 596 out of the box. So can the X2 not ever be rooted since there is no 340 to go back too???
[Droid X General] tep71:
I am also curious about manual rooting. I don't have a problem SBF'ing and have done it many times. I would like to learn more about Android and its internals.
[Droid X General] Adrian449:
I used Titanium Backup to backup all apps and user data, then restore after the upgrade to GB. Don't have to spend a ton of time setting up the phone.
[Droid X General] jldeitch:
It's the configuring the phone, not the SBF that's the issue

I concur -- SBF is simply, straight forward and quick. The problem is the amount of time it takes to get the phone set up again, especially moving from one flavor of Android to another. I've got 15 minutes to SBF. I don't have the hour or two to fiddle with the apps, configurations, etc.

So I second the call for a method to root stock Gingerbread. I miss my ad blocker...
[Droid X General] eyepopper:
I have read that gingerbreak works intermittently on some but not all .596 droid x's.

Current method to root works fine thanks to P3droid method 2. If you already have a prerooted 2.2 running the latest OTA you just need two files to install and you will have a .596 rooted droid x. If you jumped the gun and installed the OTA... then yes you need to find a way to root your .596...

Setting up SBF for the first time is not difficult just a little scary. Luckily there are alot of guides out there to help and the bootloader didn't change. Good luck!
[Droid X General] dom707:
its kinda weird but the droid x2 shipps with 2.2.2, just the newer form of blur like the gingerbread droid x has. Also, it has been able to be rooted by gingerbreak so i guess there's some hope.

Can anyone confirm that unroot works as well?

Without a working odin image or nandroid I think its important in the event of a hardware issue.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] fuzzie:
Tried again, disabled McAfee, still hangs at Step 7.

If I use a terminal client, I can su and get #, does that mean it is rooted?

Installed ROM manager, and tried to flash CWM recovery. Said it did it, but when I boot into recovery, it is the stock one, I think. It says for BLM and any update attempt results in a failure to verify signature.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] insanedrunk:
Elaborate some one what your are doing on step 7 that it hangs, if you are getting the # in terminal it means you have root.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] fuzzie:
Step 7 of SuperOneClick just hangs.

I only get root in terminal when I su.

I have an app called SuperUser and that has the terminal client listed in it ass allowing it root access. I don't see a way to add other apps into that.
