Idea: Make Tasker brick your phone after SIM Card Change... that would be awesome!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russ18uk:
Go with a provider that will block the phonecards imei from working. These services work within the country. Yes your phone won't be bricked per se; your data would still be accessible.

If you could flash a boot image via remote access terminal, you could flash a rom that is incompatible with the phone. I.e. samsung rom on lg phone. Would be fully bricked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Just to let "yall" know, on my phone (Zte Blade) it is possible to do a TPT (total phone transfer) by placing certain files on the sd card and booting while volume+ is held.

it loads some other bios type thing, not recovery or anything.

So you may wish to keep this feature if you have it, or find a way to disable it or whatever. It fixes broken recovery and system partitions etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4uw1n3:
im not a computer nerd....

but messing with rom didn't brick the phone.... im not sure, if i right or not... just my opinion...

messing with font... flash another rom... it's done....

why don't messing with the bios or firmware?

"if" i stole ur phone, im not gonna use the same simcard... i will gonna change the simcard as soon as possible.... so sms or phonecall to run some kind of command... not gonna work... must be some apps which run on the background.... whatever is it... which using internet....

imho

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psyke83:
If you are capable of remotely connecting to the phone, that means it can be tracked. Instead of devising a way to brick the phone, you should be thinking of ways to recover it.

If you have a means to track the phone, you could notify the police and/or your network operator, you could quite possibly recover your phone (as well as getting the thief prosecuted).

what are the 3 metal connectors for on the left side of the MT4G?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentsnow31802:
They are for charging when on a dock. If you Google mytouch 4g Bluetooth dock you will probably find it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Allan_:
The dock has a micro usb connector.

What are the 3 metal connectors for?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbo11883:
The three connectors are for charging as well. There is currently no dock on the market that uses it. People have hacked together their own, though.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Allan_:
Ah, I see. Silly people, make a doc for the phone, BEFORE it goes on sale.

The big issue I'm having ow, is finding a case for it. I had a nice Roots one, but, it's about 1/8th of an inch too small.

I have to go to Futureshop and Bestbuy and the Supercentre Walmart tomorrow to try to find one that'll fit. I'm hoping I can get one at WM, as their warranty is best (I've had to return 3 Roots cases there.... and it's always easy to do.)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentsnow31802:
I was unaware that they havent made a dock to use the 3 pins yet! I had a dock for my old Nexus One that used those 3 pins, it was very nice. They should stop lagging and make one for the MT4G.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don_Perrignon:
They have an unofficial one that uses the pins. Search this thread for "Better Docking" and you'll find the website in that thread. DO NOT use the official docking, as it uses the micro USB and is a TIGHT fight. Eventually, you will wear down your USB port.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blazin'j83:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1nf4m0us:
So ive looked around but can't find any threads that help me with this (please point me to some if there are!)

So i tried to flash my HD2 with this version of Android:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=733649

I followed all the instructions to the letter (well, at least i think i did), and then after installing it in MAGLDR it says that it was successful. However, when i try to start it up, it boots to the white screen with the green HTC logo, and just stays there.

Any suggestions?

Cheers
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
Have you flashed HSPL, and CWM with the appropriate partition size for this ROM? Since it's a Desire HD ROM, I'd imagine it takes a 400mb system partition.

Also have you flashed a compatible radio (XX.X.50.XX)?

How long did you wait for it to boot up?

Some of these ROMs can take up to 20 mins or more on their first boot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
How long have you left it to boot up? 15 mins is the max time.

If after 15 mins and it still doesnt boot, try reflash the cwm partition (the clockwork recovery image/CWM) he has in his thread, and then from the CWM, flash the rom again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1nf4m0us:
I have put on HSPL and the 400mb CWM partition

It has Radio version 2.15.50.14

Ive given it well over 30 minutes to work and it still stays on the same screen.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
What method did you use to transfer the ROM .zip to your sd card?

Using MAGLDR's USB Mass Storage function sometimes corrupts files.

If you used this, then try either using an sd card reader, another device with USB mass storage functionality, or use CWM to transfer the files from your pc to your sd card.

Other than that, I dunno. Sounds like everything else is right :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SageKing:
Clean Install

Do you use Task29?

Clean Install:

1. Use Task29 (1 or 2 times)

2. Download everything you need again (could be you have a bad download)

3. Flash a Radio Rom of your choice

4. Flash MAGLDR 1.13 or cLK bootloader (cLK is more native)

5. Flash clockworkmod recovery via MAGLDR USB Flasher

6. (partitionate your SD card if needed)

7. Transfer your ROM-Zip via clockworkmod in Mounts and Storeage(mount USB-Storeage)

8. Flash a Rom of your choice

That´s it. Hope you next try is a success.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
Now I understand that next week we may see 3.1 which will supposedly fix the youtube lag. We will have to wait to see this.

What I want to know is if the latest firmware fixes some of the screen responsiveness and overall lag of the device. I mean I am getting a lot of lag on some websites to where they become almost unusable. NAMELY XDA! Also I am having to tap 2 or sometimes 3 times on items anywhere in the OS in order to get a response.

I noticed that the latest update says it "improves responsiveness", so I'm wondering if this is fixed. I am on 20110423. Can anyone confirm that the latest update does indeed improve touch screen responsiveness or speeds up the overall UI including the browser.

I was reading that the mcr hr5 rom speeds up the phone a bit. Can anyone comment on that before I take the plunge? The rom says it updates to the latest version, I also read that the latest updates lock the bootloader. I don't want to load up that rom to find out that I am now stock not being able to run custom roms.

Other than the above mentioned things I enjoy the device very much. Much more than an ipad. Only thing I can't stand is that the case creaks (SLIGHTLY) and that there is no oleophobic coating. The screen is trashed with fingerprints in under an hour.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
Ill be updating tonight or tomorrow as this unit has screen bleed and is going back anyway.

Ill post after the update on the screen responsiveness and lagginess of the stock browser. I'm not sure that much will change. I think 3.1 will fix YouTube. Hopefully it will fix these other issues as well.

Hopefully I can find another unit without screen bleed. Otherwise its back to waiting for the galaxy 10.1

Hello all,

My name is Ron, new to this forum and i thought i should introduce myself. Older guy, been in IT for a couple decades. Got a MT4g its my newest smartphone, also had Samsung's galaxy s (Awesome Phone), HD7 (not good for those who like to play), Blackberry 8520 or something like that (couldn't get rid of it fast enough).

My latest ventures have been with the MT4g first thing i did was to install backtrack on an SD card, then i start on the roms from here. This site has some of the most talented people i have seen in one spot in a long time. Props to all here contributing.

Now the reason i put this thread in this forum.

i am running RG2.1, freq is at 1017 had some contact issues after installing rom re-installed it and it was fine. the issue i am having at the moment is random reboots. I am not doing anything with the phone at the time and i hear it rebooting happened 3 times in a period of 45min to an hour.

Any ideas?

Or, it'll be ready when it's ready. These things take time. You'd need to ask a developer who's working on one. If you want to help out, it could be operational sooner vs later.

That's pretty much it, the lockscreen is the "big deal". Personally I think HTC could have upped their game a bit more with sense 3.0, but I'm not really a fan of their UI anyway. For such a big player in the phone game I guess its just seems a bit underwhelming, mainly cosmetic things without adding any real (new) functionality.

Just wondering if anybody can help....Ive been out of the loop for a couple of weeks so there might be something im missing but heres whats happening. Since before i took a break from the Epic i havent been able to get any roms to successfully install except for midnightrom and i beleive bonsai. Now i was able to get supernova but only with RFS......nothing ever works with ext4, not with the latest CWM or the last build.....When rooting i get a long list of PING errors and then at the bottom it says root successful but unable to clean or delete something , i forget what it says, i tried to copy and paste what it said to here but it wouldnt let me. It then tells me to delete files manually in local/data/temp . I have no idea what this is referring to on my pc and or the phone. I even wiped the sd card to see if it was on there. I think this is what is giving me bad luck with flashing. Almost every rom just gets stuck at the samsung screen and or just gives me hours of trouble..........Any idea?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceelos09:
Try using Odin to get back to stock EC05. This should also restore ur original system files, so in theory, maybe fix whatever is giving you troubles. Afterwards, just root, and try flashing a ROM like u regulalry would. Try it and tell me how it works out, if not, maybe I can try looking around and find another solution/suggestion.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjben:
Perhaps you have missed it that the latest cwm does not convert to ext4?

Only cwm 3.0.0.6 converts. If you use cwm 3.0.2.5 then you need to either have converted first using 6 or run the ext4 conversion script before installing an ext4 rom.

Ive odined back to ec05 many many times as well as let it do its OTA thing from odin eb13 as i like using that because i dont really trust the odin with ec05 as there seems to be no official file like there is for eb13 and back.. and i always get the same results. Same with the new CWM ive done the manual conversion with the zip too.....it appears all rooting on my phone is broken. I dont get it. lol Lost.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceelos09:
Does the SuperUser app atleast appear in your apps list? As mjben stated above, the newest Clockwork (3.0.2.5. I believe) does not convert to EXT4 format, only 3.0.0.6 does. It could be possible ur trying to install an EXT4 ROM with an active RFS system which could explain why the ROMs dnt install. As far as using the Odin method to go back to stock, not really sure why ur phone is reacting that way. Whenever I have problems, I Odin back to EC05 and re-root and flash a ROM n everything is fixed. I have heard of rare occurences where ppl do lose root permanently on their phones tho. Let's just hope that's not ur case. And just for the record, I'm as baffled as u are with this :P
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carnivalrejectq:
Yea the superuser app DOES appear in my app list....and like i said after the first time that i realized the new version doesent auto convert to ext4 i found the zip and used it........and it makes no difference. Although my phone successfully roots i get all these errors saying something about Ping and not being able to clean soemthing up and to manually delete files in data local temp.....Im leanining towards this having soemthing to do with my computer and not the phone and it may be causing problems with cwm on to my phone .......im not the most advanced around here , but it seems logical lol.......ive rooted a evo shift on the computer using adb and all that.......could this be interfering?

Thanks Kenny ^^^

Your computer could also be to blame as u say. I dnt think having rooted a Shift with ur computer is the cause of the problem. Maybe, just maybe, it could be a faulty usb cable. I had trouble rooting a while back when we were still on EB13. I just switched cables and usb ports and I was back in business. However, try downloading and using the EC05 Tar from the link Kenny posted. As he stated, k0nane himself said it was an official tar file, so rest assured. If all else fails, we might need to PM someone more familiar with Clockwork n see what files have to be manually deleted from ur phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carnivalrejectq:
Perhaps it is my USB cable....it is a little funky. But that really messes up a root? Even when it gos through as successful still? I dont get that. Also , for all of these EC05 roms , i have to odin to EC05 even though im already on it through OTA? Whenever i odin back to EB13 i end up right back on EC05 within 5 minutes anyway, so what does odining the EC05 modem have to do with anything , as all of the roms seem to deamand , when i already have it?

EDIT: It says this about 40 times at different points:

"Ping is not recognized as an internal or external command , operable program , or batch file"

and then if it does work (sometimes it doesent and gives me other errors) it says this :

"Root succeeded , But cleanup failed. Manually remove files in /data/local/temp. Press any key to continue."

now , who would i go about pming? lol i have no idea
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceelos09:
It could be a faulty cable. Most Devs recommed u buy a cable not manufactured by Samsung as they are cheap. I ordered a higer quality BlackBerry cable off Amazon for about $1.29 not to long ago (including shipping). Investing in a new cable could be good, maybe even if it isn't ur cable isn't faulty. It just occured to me, maybe the root exploit u downloaded could be corrupt or have missing files. Re-download Clockwork 3.0.0.6 and re-root and see if that helps.
