Can't connect phone to PST

So I am trying to flash my phone back to stock for many reasons, but I will spare everyone a long boring story.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my phone to connect to PST. One of the steps is to make sure that PST says "Com Port Connected" I cannot get it too. I know I have all of the drivers installed and my phone shows up in Odin. I have 32bit Windows 7 and a Voodoo Lagfix Rom currently on the phone. Any ideas?

You might want to note that GummyCharged GBE 1.8 (ep1f) is actually ep1f+ep1h

The new radio from ep1h has made a big improvement in 4G performance, and battery life is better on this combination than any of the others I have tried (mostly Humble).

How To

nitsuj17,

I'll start with a thanks for compiling this thread. I've not rooted a phone since I got my OG Droid 2 years ago. I now have fully a rooted Droid Charge thanks to yourself & everyone that contributes to this forum.

Now the suggestion. Since it had been a while from last time I rooted a phone I was a little rusty. I found numerous forums talking about how to use Odin, CMW, the different kernels, ROMS & so on. The problem was I wasn't sure in what order to do everything. I then stumbled upon this single posting:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14692818&postcount=1

This helped greatly in understanding the process. You may want to link to chadness's post in the How To section of this thread.

Thanks,
[Verizon Droid Charge] vegasjones:
I too want to vouch for chadness's post. Ive rooted a Dinc and the T-bolt, i did the T-bolt the hard way. I was a bit hesitant to root the Sammy until I came across his post. I just want familiar with the differences in rooting but his post was VERY helpful.

question about unbricking

I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I've had the OG, and the DX and am no stranger to sbfing but will hopefully be getting the Droid prime and my first Samsung phone. My question is, what is the Samsung equivalent to sbf? Is it more difficult to unbrick a Samsung phone? I guess I'm trying to figure out if relearning all these things for a Samsung phone is worth it. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
I don't know what SBF is but for Samsung phones we use a program called Odin to flash roms/kernels/recovery directly to the phone and ClockWorkMod to flash .zip files... and it's also almost impossible to brick a Samsung phone, the only way I've heard of is to flash a package with corrupted boot files

Humble under investigation

I'm wondering whether I should try Humble or not. I see that there is a lot of interest in it.

Why is it under investigation?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
the new one seems pretty nice and yeah I'd say give it a shot... there was a little issue with Danalo (Humble) and Kejar (Gummy) about using rom stuff without permission, however the new Humble seems to be done by the book and I like to see more variety in the stuff we can flash
[Verizon Droid Charge] droid-ed:
Humble vs. Gummy

A little variety is healthy. Isn't it? Unfortunately, it seems to go beyond the two developers.

Can't we all get along and allow everyone the same opportunity the same courtesy?

Hey guys I am new to the charge. I really want to root but I have some concerns first. For one I have already replaced this phone twice since I got it. If I un-root it will Verizon notice I rooted it at all? Also how safe is it? I really don't want a $300 paper weight. I rooted my old sch-m828c from straightalk and the phone wouldn't connect to the computer anymore; is that a concern with the charge? As from the last sentence I have experience with odin but my old phone lost the root somehow and i was unable to boot it back to stock. Is the charge better about stuff like that? Please respond with any help. (Best mods, safest methods etc.) Thanks in advance!

My Charge is my first smart phone. I got it in May 2011 and used it stock til Sep 2011. I was afraid of bricking it. But the original software ran so bad I finally broke down and did it. It amazes me that the phone makers would rather suck up to their providers than make a usable product. Then the really amazing thing is that casual developers in forums can make phones run so well.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] calebu2:
(By searching I noticed that there have been threads on how to connect a tablet to the internet via a blackberry on every tablet except the Flyer. I also noticed that most of those threads were not asked in a clear manner, so the answers were somewhat confused)

Is there a way to connect a flyer to the internet by using the available features on a blackberry. Unlike WM and Android phones, blackberries cannot serve as Wifi hotspots (at least as of June 1, 2011) so the only options are bluetooth or USB.

From what I can tell from the other threads, there is currently no BT DUN client for Gingerbread or Honeycomb so a flyer cannot be tethered via BT. Is this correct or have I missed something (This is the part that usually takes 20 posts to debate, ending in a distinct lack of answer)?

Alternatively, does the flyer have the ability to connect to USB devices such as a 3G network device (e.g. a Blackberry in USB tether mode)? (I don't think anyone has asked this question before on these boards)

Thoughts?

However, when I type in the command to boot my Xoom into the bootloader it works and takes me into the "Starting Fastboot protocol support" screen. Then when I type the "./fastboot oem unlock" command, it just says "<waiting for device> in the Terminal. Any ideas how to proceed? I've tried taking the usb in and out, I've tried using a different usb port.

It allows you to bind the SD card in the dock, requires root.

Use this script in terminal:

su

cd /mnt/sdcard

mkdir docksd

mount -o bind /Removable/SD /mnt/sdcard/docksd

Make sure you use capital letters where necessary. Then, from Fpse navigate to /mnt/sdcard/docksd to access the roms on the dock SD.

There is a way to use script manager to make do this automatically upon boot, but I'm not quite sure how to do it.

I think you would just create a boot script with: mount -o bind /Removable/SD /mnt/sdcard/docksd

Maybe someone else will fill us in on the details on how to use script manager.

Thanks for the tidbit, there was nothing about UEFI in the mainstream blogs, but Goog search dug it up.

http://www.computeractive.co.uk/ca/news/2075486/windows-dont-choose-tablet-desktop

As a geek, I'm more interested in the plumbings than the GUI stuff. One item of interest to me is whether Win8 will be available in discrete form, ie as a standalone retail version that can be installed on any compatible device, or only in device-bound form (ie OEM version). Its value would be greatly enhanced if it's in a standalone, installable version.

That's what I don't like about Android at present. It's actually less "portable" than Windows, since every device needs to have its own "ROM," which means you're dependent on the vendor's whims (or friendly hackers) for updates. It's rather byzantine, a lot like the CP/M ills of old, where each manufacturer had its own proprietary version.

With respect to the introduced Win8 GUI, I noted that the integration of the tile-based Metro UI into the traditional mouse/KB UI isn't very elegant, aesthetically speaking. To be fair, it's not an easy task, and MS didn't have the luxury of time. WP7's Metro + Win7 UI was the obvious route, and unsurprisingly that's the route they took. I'm interested in how the touch UI translate to the mouse/KB interface, and vice versa.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
BTW, I think the x86 version of Win8 will get the most attention, since backward compatibility with existing Win/Lin apps is intact. Unless Oak Trail turns out to be a real dog, Intel will have its moment in the sun.
[Xoom General] ydaraishy:
Lolwut?

Windows has exactly the same problem if you want to run it on different hardware, it's just hidden to the end user because Micosoft bundles everything into an inocuous looking package.

Windows also has the luxury of running on very narrowly scope/defined hardware that they have had deep influence in designing.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
>Windows has exactly the same problem if you want to run it on different hardware

Hardware for Windows have their own abstraction layer in the form of a BIOS/UEFI. Windows binaries are universal across devices. Hardware is generally interfaced through user-installable drivers.

These don't (yet) exist for Android, where each device has its own specifically-compiled binaries. Since vendors have their tweaks to the source code, no two droid devices are the same. It's a nightmare for both users and devs. Hence the fragmentation outcry.

Take this forum as a microcosm. HC 3.1 is out, but users can't upgrade to it until the vendors get around to updating their vendor-specific (and region-specific) firmware. Contrast this to a Win service pack.

Windows sucks in many ways, but the one factor in its dominance is that if you buy a Win app, you can be reasonably certain that it will run on most any PC. If you buy a peripheral, you can be reasonably certain that it can be installed on most any PC.

It's a bit unfair since Android is still in its diapers. Hey, it just got USB host in 3.1. Then again, ain't no such thing as "fair" competition. Android will have to grow up in a hurry.

Pundits like to harp on the iOS-vs-Android angle. The reality is that Apple will always be a niche player because of its closed-ecosys philosophy. No single company, no matter how great, can create enough choice for the majority of user wants. The real fight will be between Android and Windows.

Personally, I'm cheering on Linux, which can coattail Windows' standardization onto the new tablet platform. Lin never had a real chance of uprooting Win on the desktop, or as we've seen, even on netbooks. Win was too entrenched. Tabs will be a fresh new opportunity for Linux, and we'll see if Ubuntu & Co can take advantage.

Ya, coming from the incredible, even stock I would have 100-150 mbs of ram, and rooted I'd have usually 180-210. This phone, having the same amount of ram as that, will be anywhere from 30-100 usually. That's some pretty bad bloat.

In 3g only network, the phone actually has a really good battery(compared to the incredible), I can go all day without root so far, the baddest part is the % i lose just sitting there without use and the screen off, it sucks.

And have you been able to assign Google where Bing had priority before? I have the bing search relatively good, just really laggy.
