[Samsung Infuse 4G] kleeman7:
You would want to check all 3 if it is your first flash, that way if something goes wrong you have a backup to restore, and the other two need to check because they are cache for your original rom, not the new one.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tight686:
It's worth doing the backup of your stock setup.

Wiping the data isn't necessary unless you are a stickler about starting "fresh".

Dalvik cache wipe never hurts.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kleeman7:
If you are coming from stock, you need to wipe all. It can cause issues, i have seen it. You get lots of force close, stuff that is removed from stock would still be there, which could also cause problems. Its better to do a full wipe when going from stock to a custom rom, and when switching custom roms.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] UZR10278:
I think I made a mistake, it reboot into recovery and I guess I was to wipe data and cache then reboot into cyanogen rom, but I did not wipe data and cache, Now it froze on me. What can I do, Did I just brick my phone?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kleeman7:
What phone are you using? The infuse doesn't have cyanogen.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] UZR10278:
Im sorry Im have an MT4G
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kleeman7:
There are a combination of buttons you can push while the phone is off to boot into recovery usually 3. For example, power, volume down, and camera, or if no camera button try power, volume down, and volume up. This will get you into recovery where you can restore your backup, or wipe data, and flash cm again.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] UZR10278:
It rebooted and now I lost root. what the hell
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MotoMudder77:
Then you didnt have full root. check the MT4g section. phone is cake to root and s-off.

o and volume down + power to get into bootloader, can get to recovery through there.

But use the MT4g section for any more Q's
[Samsung Infuse 4G] UZR10278:
thanks for all ur help. Its weird cause when I rooted I had s off. Ill try it again. Thanks again.

I just recently restored about 150 applications to my new Nexus S with Titanium Backup. However, in the Market...these same apps, that I have either purchased/downloaded, are coming up as uninstalled. Why aren't they being recognized for updates, etc? Any ideas on how to fix this and sync them to the market again?

[Wildfire General] hacktrix2006:
Hi all, i am just wondering has anyone had success in porting MIUI to Wildfire. Either semi booting it or fully booting it.

I have decided to give porting a shoot so far i am getting a boot loop so i can not logcat anything.

I know its mainly based on ARM V7 but its using a CM7 kernel so surely it could be ported i know it would require a lot of work i.e converting it from HDPI to LDPI/MDPI but i have some spare time hence why i am having a bash.

If anyone knows someone that can help or you have tried yourself please PM me.
[Wildfire General] androidino95:
I just dont understand why the devs dont port MIUI to smaller res screens or older processors, cuz it doesnt look anything special or got some very intensive eyecandy or w/e, i had it on hd2, removed 10 mins after flashing and back to hyperdroid ^^

but, for each his own, good luck with porting :)
[Wildfire General] hacktrix2006:
From what i can gather the ARM V6 can be a issue as the MIUI rom is for ARM7 there is firmware for Wifi GPS etc but i am willing to help port this rom. With a bit of help from a Master.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 06stang:
I loaded a backup of CM7 and when it rebooted it went into a bootloop and I cant get into recovery. I've tried everything even flashing CWM again and also the stock ROM image. Still bootloop!

Please help
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beezwhammer:
You didnt brick it, if you bricked it, it wouldnt start. You should still be able to get into recovery, by holding the power button and volume at the same time, and getting into Hboot, then go to recovery. Im also guessing it happened because you didnt whipe cache or data before you did this. First time i ever installed a new rom i got a bootloop,
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 06stang:
Thank you for responding. I cant get into recovery it starts bootlooping once I select recovery. I tried loading the PB image of CWM and I also tried flashing the stock RUU. Cant get past HBOOT or initial bootloop. I CAN get into fastboot ADB though. Tried flashing a backup system.img, boot.img, data.img but boot.img said error
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beezwhammer:
Your welcome, im not perfect at all this so excuse me a bit lol. So your saying when you select recovery, it boots up normally to the splash screen, or am i wrong? If your able to flash things them im pretty sure your able to get into recovery. Maybe also try another version of CM7? Transferring it to your phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 06stang:
No I select recovery in HBOOT and it goes straight to the white HTC INCREDIBLE screen and begins the bootloop process. I've pushed the CWM 3.0.0.8 in a pb13img file and still wont go into recovery. I cant get the phone past HBOOT
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beezwhammer:
Thats really really weird that it wont go into recovery and it starts the boot. Hopefully someone can come with some extra assistance. It isnt bricked tho, i know that. So did you try formating data and cache then before doing anything either?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 06stang:
No I was busy and messed up. applied a backup without wiping data/cache. Came back to a powered off phone. Tried turning it on and it was bootlooping. I cant do anything now. Even if I can get S-ON i'll just get a replacement
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
There's a data wipe option in hboot, have you tried that?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spence341:
Goto Doug piston's web site and follow the go back to stock. You should be able to put the stock RUU on the root of your sd card named pb31img (not sure the exact file name but it is on dougs site). When you load in HBOOT, it should recognize the file and install. If I am not mistaken, this will unroot your phone as well.

http://dougpiston.com/?page_id=108

Pb31img file is there.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 06stang:
I tried the stock rom PB31IMG.zip and it continues to bootloop. If I cant get it fixed I want to at least get S-On
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Probably aren't gonna be able to get S-ON cause that needs to be done in recovery..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradsinram:
There is also the unrevoked forever s-on tool which you flash through recovery
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 06stang:
Yeah cant get to recovery so I'm boned.

I got VZW to send me a replacement and also got Asurion to get my an Inc2. Not sure which to send back. Free replacement with a gamble getting caught S-On, or $99 free upgrade to Inc2
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirrin:
what radio were you running

try flashing alternate recovery?

i also seem to remember there being a way to root through adb isnt there a way to unroot like that too?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 06stang:
I tried amon ra and a another one no difference. I also tried everything I could adb wise to flash different systems and erase everything. Im running the new GB radio
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CSamson:
I may be wrong but I don't think you can apply the RUU with that radio installed. Go back to the stock radio and I think you may be able to flash ythe RUU successfully.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 06stang:
I got excited thinking there was a way to unbrick because of a step I missed. So I went to make sure the radio was right. I HAD the GB Leak 2.15.10.05.06

Right now in HBoot it shows 2.15.00.07.28
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 06stang:
I know its not considered a brick because it still turns on but there is NOTHING I can do to get it out of bootloop or past HBoot
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renzo.olivares:
hmm new GB radio this has been happening with thunderbolt users to.....but in greater numbers.....I'd advise against using the GB leaked radio...

Your backup. Rec2.x. and now. 3.x?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] italia0101:
Hay,

If anyone has seen the xoom play flash after the 3.1 update it can handle 720p YouTube videos from within the browser, and it can play them smoothly,

Is it just me or can your tf not play YouTube 720p flash smoothly .. try this link, my tf doesn't play this smoothly, does yours, now i dont have a xoom ti try this link, so if anyone does ,feel free to give your feedback,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSGBVzeBUbk

Not to say its not better than before, because its much better, but I suppose I was expecting smoother,

So if you could give it a go I would much appriate it, and if these any xoom owners also, could you give me your experience

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] finalhit:
like butter...

i only watched the first 10 seconds, since i actually watch that on 3.0.1 to test playback, and even then, it's buttery smooth.

I don't need a signature.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] italia0101:
you sure you changed it to 720p. Also are u using a tf
[Eee Pad Transformer General] toshii22:
I tried it on my TF and it lags while playing in small screen, but it's smooth after I switched it to full screen mode. I am using Dolphin HD in case you are wondering. And yes, I switched it to 720p.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] italia0101:
Yea that's same experience as I'm getting. Wonder if that other guy switched to 720p for his butter ..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ultraman666:
I have no issues very smooth and it was in HD
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JuvenTino.ks:
It lags using stock browser when it's set on 720p

On dolphin HD it lags only when the browser agent is set to Desktop
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
720p minor lag with the default browser. 1080p lags big time. Same video using the youtube app at 1080p smooth. The videos that are on the youtube app are they flash?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lost2030:
The video runs great on my iPad of course that's not 720p though lol

It runs pretty bad on 720p on my Transformer if it's not full screen. When I set it to full screen it runs pretty darn smooth, very minor lag. I use the stock browser.

It runs perfect on the YouTube app, not sure what resolution that runs at though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] finalhit:
yup, smooth on 720p. although i did do the about:debug trick, seems to suffer some skipped frames without it. smooth either way on full screen.

and to inquiring minds:

1) type "about:debug" on the url bar of your stock browser. nothing will immediately happen.

2) click on the menu, you will notice 2 new entries there (but these are not what you want)

3) go to settings, an you'll notice a new tab "debug"

4) go there, and uncheck (notice, UNcheck) "use wide viewport"

you'll notice your browser is generally snappier, i guess this includes flash playback. also, you'll have to "about:debug" everytime your browser restarts. you don't need to redo all the "use wide viewport" stuff after that though.

I don't need a signature.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brandonpaz:
it was super smooth buti can't play videos on ESPN it worked when i very first got it any recommendations?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] italia0101:
Ok so this is strange how are we getting such different results for the same video lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] epicfailguy2:
My transformer slutters even on 480p big buck bunny video on youtube.com (not the app), it only gets smooth in full screen, can anyone point me to some kind of solution ?

My tf is 3.1 last update and factory reset is done... Flash is up to date, yet all the flash performance in the stock browser is mediocre at best...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] italia0101:
yea that's similar to mu performance , only in full screen does it even out,, but I wouldn't call it super smooth at any point on 720p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] epicfailguy2:
What's funny is that in the youtube app the same video plays perfectly at 1080p

so definitely there is a software fix that NEEDS to come from asus for the stock browser performance. I don't think adobe themselves will release an optimized version of flash for the transformer. Even tho they "released" an "optimized" version of flash for tegra, which is the current one that sucks so hard.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EMINENT1:
It's weird how at first 720 wouldn't play full screen and now it's reversed. It's ok though. I prefer it play full screen at least. This is with 3.1 and user agent desktop.

For those having issues, why not just change the agent to ipad, android, or iphone?

That's probably what the ones in the stores are set to so of course they're playing smooth.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chungylau:
I have the same problem. Go to espn3 to watch videos, and the screen will show "LOADING" indefinitely. Other sites seem to be OK. This is not a problem with my network, since the other computers on the same network have no trouble.

Tried different user agents, same result. Also tried both the default browser and the Dolphin HD, same result.
[HTC Desire S] willi0201:
Im having this problem with my new HTC Desire S. My screen is not sitting correctly (not that you notice it that much), but it doesnt sit entirely as it should.

Also, when i choose pictures for my contacts, they start out with being sharp, but then turn sloppy, pixelated. Basicly, my contact photos go from good to bad, the 2nd time i try to call the person.

Now shouldnt i be able to switch phones, at the place where i bought it, considering the phone it self is less than 14 days old. I bought it in a scandinavian telephone/internet/broadband company called "Telia". Any scandinavian fellar out there must know what it is.

Anyways shouldnt i be able to get a new phone?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
The screen not sitting properly sounds like a build issue, if it's that noticeable and annoys you, then it may be worth returning the device in an attempt to get a replacement.

I'm guessing that you store your contacts in Google contacts (in the cloud)...pictures losing detail/resolution is a known issue.
[HTC Desire S] willi0201:
Well, about the screen, there is some space between the screen and the plastic on the left side, where it sits tight on the right. What im saying is, the screen is sitting more to the right.

About the contact issue, i guess im doing the google contact thing, but i cant say. What you described about pictures loosing detail/res is excactly what im experiencing.

So with this info you just got here, shouldnt i be able to get a replacement?

And i dont know if its just me being paranoid, but i might think that my general picture quality has fallen as well, since i got the phone.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
If you can see light coming from backlight from the sides/edges/gaps in a dark room (as some users have experienced on this forum) then I'd certainly try to get a replacement, otherwise as it won't affect the phones operation you could just live with it, but it's your call...depends if its going to bug you going forward.

When you say general picture quality, if you mean screen, its probably just getting dirty and smeared with finger prints...etc...looks dull after use compared to pristine perfection out of the box when new.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] alephnaut:
So I'm usually looking forward to flashing a non-stock ROM ASAP but noticed that the branded app store has some nice perks. E.g. unlimited shazam for a year, reduced prices for some apparently (jenga), etc...

Anyone else considering sticking with stock to keep these goodies?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Grim Reaper:
Personnel I don't think its worth it, and if you did want the benefits I would take advantage of them and back them up then flash.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
soundhound is better IMO, and the free is unlimited.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
shazam was announced that it would be free for a year... but yes soundhound is waaaaaaaaay better that shazam... i have both though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
But shazam sounds better.

Shaaaazzzzaam bricked :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
It does have a catchy name and color schemes but soundhound outperforms shazam
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Getting the AT&T branded market back on custom roms is as simple as editing a couple lines in the default.prop file, so that's not a good reason to stay stock.
[Xoom General] italia0101:
Hay

After the 3.1 update I heard that flash video performance increased alot, I don't have a xoom, but was wondering how smooth itnwouldnplsy this clip

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSGBVzeBUbk

How smooth is it compared with the 480p ?

Thanks
[Xoom General] hoopsdavis:
I was able to get 720p going very smooth but 1080 not so smooth.
[Xoom General] italia0101:
Ok thanks :-)
[Xoom General] edengberg:
Even on my laptop the 1080p video is intermittent. Audio is OK. 720p looks normal.

One point re Xoom is that the Xoom is basically 720p.
[Xoom General] edengberg:
You are correct, Motorola does spec that it will play back 1080p, not 1080i which is one of the two broadcast standards in the US. The other standard being 720p.

MEDIA FORMATS	Android core media formats

VIDEO RECORDING RESOLUTION (MAX)	720p HD (1280 x 720)

VIDEO RECORDING FRAME RATE	30 fps

VIDEO PLAYBACK RESOLUTION (MAX)	1080p HD (1920 x 1080)

VIDEO PLAYBACK FRAME RATE	30 fps

LOUDSPEAKER	Stereo

The screen resolution on the Xoom is WXGA (1280 x 800) so the Xoom screen cannot display 1920 x 1080 directly without filtering.

hey i just thought of an idea for a new custom home launcher. Instead of having lots of screens for widgets and what not i want to do a scrollable grid either up or down or left and right. so u can scroll through widgets on one grid and apps on another. this would be kind of like a carassell effect but all one one screen.

what do yall think?

Odin sometimes hangs,freezes,fails, or just decides to be a douche and not work properly. It's not guaranteed to work flawlessly 100% of the time. There is a chance of odin doing that everytime you use it, the only time you risk bricking is when it does that while flashing bootloaders. which that's all you were flashing in that step.
