As someone that had deep contact with a lot of people working at Sega during the Dreamcast days, they were NOT destroyed by Sony (nor did they admit this, not sure where that came from). The Dreamcast was selling really well, and even the people working at Sega didn't understand why Sega was stopping the Dreamcast at the time.

The real problem was that while the Dreamcast was selling really well, they needed it to be a home run, not just a great triple. The Dreamcast had quite a lot of piracy going on, which was all enabled because Sega left something in the BIOS to allow games to boot from CDs because they had struck a deal with some Japanese idol to do a dual music CD/Dreamcast disc. The deal ended up falling through but the engineers forgot to remove it from the BIOS until the later models of Dreamcast were released. Yep, really.

The real reason why the Dreamcast died was because of Electronic Arts. Because of the Saturn failing at the same time as the 32x, EA was already weary of supporting another Sega console. They also had their own console out which Sega wouldn't support (the 3D0 was spun out of EA and run by Trip Hawkins, former EA head). Because of all this, EA said they would not support the Dreamcast, which hurt Sega quite a lot and spawned the 2K series of sports games.

When your new console cannot get the support of the largest 3rd party publisher out there, your console won't get anywhere, plain and simple. Imagine trying to launch a console nowadays without Activision, players knowing your console will never get a Call of Duty game... it's a suicide wish (whether you like the game or not).
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
I forgot about the Electronic Arts fiasco, that certainly had a huge impact and was a major downfall with the dreamcast,

There are a lot of factors in the whole dreamcast story some of which I did forget (EA for example), it seems so long ago all that happened :(

Hey thanks silver nd shhbz.... thanks alot. Btw do i need to wipe anything before i flash new recovery.. like dalvik.. is it gud idea to do nand backup first....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 4silvertooth:
No need to wipe anything.

Backups are always handy. But be aware that backup done by amonra or cwm are not compatible to each other. That means backup taken by any recovery will only be restored with same recovery.

You have to toggle signature verification off from recovery. I hope u have that on thunderg. The zip is not signed.

One more question will my phone still be rooted after flashin cm7 rom as i rooted my phone with z4root nd currently im using stock 2.2 froyo rom
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
That zip file is for amonra recovery which doesn't have an option for formatting system. In cwm recovery, you have the format system option.

Flashing doesn't lead to bricking normally.

And all custom roms are always rooted.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] r291:
no. I just flashed. you can wipe cache+dalvik if you want. check for two files mentioned in franco's thread. if you have them, You HAVE to delete them before flashing. if you dont, just flash. you need setCPU to change the CPU freq coz CM OC screen does not display at the moment. battery and smoothness is great.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lekhwani:
I flashed Franco kernel too, half an hour before. But I didn't check for those two files. But the phone is functioning fine.

Are those two files to be deleted are meant for everyone or for those who have previously flashed Franco kernel?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] deadcode00:

Hi, I was using stock Rom with amon ra recovery. i had flashed Franco kernel and all was fine.

As CWM recovery was nice thought of switching to it. I downloaded Rom manager and flashed cwm recovery. Then, when i tried to boot into recovery via Rommanager the phone got bricked (got stuck at LG logo and boots again and again).

5 days of guilt. now i brought it back to life using KDZ.

Can you guys help in cwm recovery? what went wrong?

1. should i had not flashed cwm recovery over amon ra directly?

2. or risk with Rom manager is more for bricking?

3. now should i try over Rommanager again?

Do NOT use ROM Manager for recovery flashing.

It may be possible that we have to flash an unmodded firmware before we can update to 2.3.3

Hey,

Was wondering if anyone had any solutions to this issue.

I can connect to my router with the asus transformer, successfully get an IP, but can not connect to the external web. I can make internal connections, but again, nothing external. I have no problem with my samsung sgs i9000m, various laptops, ipod touch, etc etc..

The router in question is a speedtouch 780 (dsl modem, voip, and router in one). Ive tried various encryption schemes, and even tried to leave it open but to no avail.

I can create a wifi network with both my imac, and with my samsung sgs and the transformer can connect, and also move internet data!

Very weird, I dont even know where to start trouble shooting, can anyone help?

Under your wifi settings long press your wireless network under the list of networks available, you should get a "modify network " link pop up, change the setting from DHCP to Static and enter your settings manually.

Not sure what this issue is, I never had it with the previous WiFi build, only after the 3.1 changes.

If you let the boot sequence complete before unlocking, it never happens. If you unlock during the boot sequence, it might.

Jumping in a bit late, but am having similar issues. Just got my TF but have not been able to connect to my dlink router (dir-655 - onlyl couple months old). The router works fine for everything in the house. I know the settings well and have tried many things (went through all channels one by one, messed with different WPA security options, even removed security, etc). Nothing allows me to even connect to the router/network.

In the Wifi settings is jut keeps saying 'connecting...' and 'scanning...' over and over. I am about to take this thing back as I really can't buy a new router at this point (no new firmware for router is available by the way, I checked).

Has anyone confirmed that dlink routers can work with the TF and if so, what are the settings you are using (channel, WPA security settings, dhcp or static, etc)?? This driving me nuts. I want to keep this TF but won't if I can't get it to work at home.

Oh and by the way, when I use my Droid Inc 2 as a hotspot with WPA security, the TF connects without issue. So the TF appears to be fine, it is definitely related to the dlink router.

Thanks!
