[General Questions and Answers] Shi_no_Senshi:
Hello.

Sorry I'm new to modifying my Android phone but a friend of mine who has flashed his phone wasn't able to help so I hope you can give me some advices.

First of all, I have to mention that i have bought the HTC Desire at ebay, so I don't know what the former owner has done with the phone.

At the start i made a factory reset.

Then I rooted the phone with unrevoked.

After that I have copied the RCMixS_v1.8_A2SD+_BravoHboot ROM on my sdcard.

When I know start into Recovery Mode I first wipe data and cache partition.

There he tells that he completed the tasks but Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log and Can't find MISC: (I don't know if this is a real error or not)

Next I install the zip from sdcard. Everything seems fine but at the end following messages appear:

Running A2SD+ Setup

Running ROM configuration scripts ...

Preparing ROM sdcard directory ...

Writing boot.img ...

assert failed: write_raw_image/"/tmp/boot.img","boot")

E:Error in /sdcard/RCMixS_v1.8_A2SD+_BravoHboot.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

First I thought that I've bricked the phone but everythink works fine, as if I haven't done anything...

I tried this also with some other ROMs but nothing really worked.

Informations about the system:

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7

HBOOT-0.93.0001

Android 2.2

Build-Number 2.33.163.1 CL277878 release-keys

Software-Number 2.33.163.1

Thanx for your upcoming help.

-Best regards

Have you checked the sdcard? Seems to me from the error message you posted that your phone has problems reading and/or writing to it. Try another "known good" card if possible.
[General Questions and Answers] kimbernator:
This issue has been common on the Mytouch 4g and G2. I'm pretty sure the Desire HD and Mt4G have very similar hardware so it wouldn't surprise me if it has similar issues. try using the ****IMG.zip file related to your device. I dont know what the DHD is, like the MT4g it's PD15IMG.zip that reverts all to stock through Hboot. if you get Fail-PU errors in hboot you might be screwed.
[General Questions and Answers] Shi_no_Senshi:
I will try that out. I hope that will work.
[General Questions and Answers] Shi_no_Senshi:
Hello, it's me again.

I tried it out with another SD card with the same effect -> error while boot.img

Now i tried it with a goldcard and tried it out with PB99IMG.zip

nearly everything worked fine, dispite of radio_V2 -> Fail-PU

everything els was ok.

at the end there stood

partition update fail!

update fail

now when i start my phone, after the htc logo i can only see a black screen with a phone and a red exclamation mark.

I see the same, if i try to boot into the recovery.

I still can boot into hboot and fastboot
[General Questions and Answers] Shi_no_Senshi:
so now i went into fastboot and startet RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe on my PC.

seems that it worked. now i can flash a new ROM. Thanks for your help.
[General Questions and Answers] Shi_no_Senshi:
Sorry it's me again....

I just dont wanna work... Now I have another Android version on my phone but still the same error.

Also when I try to backup

There's the error:

Backing up boot...

Error while dumping boot image!

It really seems that I just can't write boot images on the sd card. I've tried it out with another one. Maybe next week I can test it on a SD card of a friend of mine, who already flashed his phone with his card.

Current Versions:

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7 (same as before)

Software Number: 2.29.405.5 (downgrade worked)
[General Questions and Answers] Shi_no_Senshi:
it's me once more

i didn't had much time latly but i tried it out once again with another sd card. A friend of mine flashed his phone with it, but in my case, it didnt work.

Its again the error, when the system tries to write the boot.img on the sd card.

Any other ideas?

-with best regards

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] seh6183:
I'm trying to make the right decision when buying my first tablet. I am away of the minor differences with docking support and usb ports and what not. I am also aware that the galaxy 10.1 is thinner than the transformer. I am uninterested in these things.

The only thing that matters to me is the Panel. From my small amount of research I've found that that transformer has an IPS display and a higher PPI than the galaxy tab. This of course does not necessarily mean it looks better. Can someone who has both tablets or at least seen them side by side, comment on the differences of the screens? Also the off viewing angles please. Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ghill55:
No higher ppi. They both have the same resolution and same screen size. The Tab 10.1 has a PLS panel (IPS type).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] seh6183:
Strange. I need to check my info because I was certain there was a PPI difference. Also I thought I specifically remember someone complaining about the galaxy having a non ips panel???
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ghill55:
Those who complain are probably uninformed. Don't worry, the display should be at least as good as the one in the Transformer.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kentoe:
I find in comparing the 10.1 to the transformer that the display on the 10.1 is better. They aren't really a huge difference between each other though. It's so minimal.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
Transformer has an IPS display and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has a PLS display, which is suppose to be a slight improvement.

Both IPS and PLS are pretty good and look much better than the VA panels in the Xoom and A500.

As for PPI. I did a google search for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 PPI, because my math skills aren't good enough to figure out myself. Funnily though, I'm apparently not the only person with poor math skills, because I've seen the PPI listed at 149, 160, and 170, all for the 10.1 1280x800 screen. But really two tablets with 10.1 inch 1280x800 screens should have identical PPI... it stands for pixels per inch and they have the same 1,024,000 pixels (1280x800, my math skills are good enough to figure that much out), so the PPI has got to be the same.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] snoopstah:
1280x800 is 16:10 aspect ratio.

10.1 inch diagonal at 16:10 aspect ratio means the display is 8.56 inches long, 5.35 inches wide.

1280 pixels in 8.56 inches = 149.53 pixels per inch.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] flintdragon:
I had a transformer and the screen was TERRIBLE with fingerprints. I had to constantly wipe the screen and that was no easy task. It took a lot of buffing using a microfiber cloth.

Not so on ipad2. It keeps clean longer and when dirty, wipes off very easily. My Captivate is the same. Doesn't get that dirty and easy to clean.

How will the 10.1 be? Anyone know?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jayhoskins:
The 10.1 seemed better than the xoom. It wiped clean easy and fingerprint retention wasn't that bad. The xoom seemed harder to wipe clean and attracted finger prints alot more.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cosimoss:
For me the 10.1 display looks better than that on the Transformer, clarity, vibrance and colours are very good..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] seh6183:
I just found out from another thread that the galaxy 10.1 definitely does NOT have an oleophobic coating.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] seh6183:
And for the record an oleophobic coating only lasts about a year. I would still love to have one though :(

I got mine on 5/27. It rebooted spontaneously a couple of times in the first two days. However it has been working flawlessly for several days now. Not sure what happened. Knocking on the wood.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chubb16:
I have had my device for 3 weeks and yesterday I had to pull the battery for the first time due to the phone not coming back on. Today I lost signal out of the blue, and couldn't search for networks. Had to reboot the device.

I want to root the device and install one of the custom gingerbread roms but if I need to warranty this thing I want it stock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
I'm using gingerbread roms so its hard for me to comment here. But I have not had many issues even with these roms. Mu build date is may 9 iirc

I did however exchange my battery. I have done a couple of battery pulls but mostly due to rom issues and that has been very rare. I don't consider a battery pull to be a problem unless its once a day or more. I have had the device about a week.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
Dated 4/11, stock and unrooted. No reboots, lockups or anything of the sort.

I just used this phone outdoors in direct sunlight. I mean straight on as direct as it can be bright sunshine, and the display was easily visible even just set on auto. I can live with a little light bleed along the edges on a screen that works this well otherwise.

This phone is fast too...

ETA: This is my original and only G2x, no exchanges. I guess I got relatively lucky.

Only two "random" reboots in a little over a month (both occurred shortly after plugging into my laptops USB to charge).

...

It's about time a poll was made about this. I just hope that once and for all this matter gets concentrated in a single thread. I hope this thread gets a sticky until the the G2x issues are resolved or have come to a sufficient conclusion (I'm not so optimistic about T-mo after the Vibrant).

Getting a 4th replacement sometime tomorrow according to T-mo & UPS, just to note. I'll spare the details and update my post when I have more time. =X
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmartinez39:
On Stock ROM (Rooted) it rebooted every time I used the stock web browser.

On AOSP ROM 1.2.0 (slows.... 40 sec pause/freeze) on the stock browser

I'm still on AOSP for now. Just crashed on me again, but it happens when I web surf on the browser.

Its annoying but hoping this crap gets better. I swear buyer's remorse every time I think about how unstable this phone is.

There seems to be quite a bit of confusion regarding this.

I just bought my Flyer in the USA and my software version is also 1.36.405.5. No update has been made available to me. I called HTC and they said that this was a UK update only since their original release was very slow and buggy. However, I am confused that the new release (at 2.00.405.3.) is a much higher number.

HTC makes good hardware, but they seem to be a little overwhelmed in how they roll their software updates out. Oh well, I guess it is what it is and my rig will update when it is ready to.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rswindle:
I was just thinking, all that the lapdock is to the phone is an HDMI output and a USB input, so why does it trigger webtop, and could I trigger webtop the same way?

My initial thought is, it triggers it by something sent into the USB, is there any way anyone could identify what in particular so it might be mimicked?

I realize people have come up with software webtop without lapdock solutions, but I'd really rather just leave the software alone (harmless as the change may be..), I rather like it as it is (with launcher pro instead of default that is..)

So, what is the lapdock doing to key the atrix to go into webtop?

I did search for this, sorry if there's already a thread about it, I didn't find one..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EricHegnes:
Although I am not a hardware person and have limited experience with Linux, I am also interested in the answer to this question. I would have to assume that the Atrix recognizes the connection and sends a command to launch the appropriate software.

Once again...I am not really in any position to contribute much relevant information.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rswindle:
Just to throw out some other ideas that rattled around in my head for someone more familiar with this device...

There is a communication that comes from displays where they identify themselves and their modes for whatever device that connects to them- some pieces of this information could be key.

Beyond that, any particular piece of information the USB device identifies itself with similarly- a model or serial number the internal usb hub claims itself to be to the system, I know these are standard passive details these devices share with anything connecting to them.

In the identification side, I wonder if the files modified by the software webtop hack might lend details about what is precisely telling them to go into webtop..

If it's keyed off of some particular serial number or model information from the USB, I figure I could buy a cheap configurable USB diag board and flash it to mimic that info..

I sincerely doubt there's anything superbly intelligent in the lapdock where it does some non-standard communication as a handshake, I would think it has to be based on the standard passive device information every USB hub or HDMI connection shares..

edit:

Unless there's an extra device on the USB hub internally like a smartcard or flash chip with a key the atrix checks for..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenarelJAM:
I have webtop enabled without a dock, and webtop pops up when I plug just the HDMI cable in. I imagine it is just detecting the external display, and doesn't have anything to do with USB.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metk@:
It should not be complicated as you you think. It's rather trigerred by some specific resistor on the pins 4&5 of micro USB connector :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chria01:
You arent running stock software then. It detects it yes depending on what software you are running but the docks sends a signal to the atrix to turn on webtop on stock.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimammx:
Not sure that it uses resistors, because when software hack was not available, bunch of people tried to do it with resistors however nobody got it to work. The best way would be to take apart multimedia dock and look at circuitry . Most likely it has a microchip sending some kind of ID. The problem is you need a special device to sniff usb communication between devices. If somebody has a device like that it should not be that hard to sniff it and program separate microchip to send it to usb.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mgamerz:
Its sensing an external diplay. The hdmi cable does a handshake upon connection of the cable. At that point, the software handles what happens. Webtop senses usb as well (like the car dock does), but the hack removes that check. Thats how hdmi triggers webtop.
