[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
Are you on wifi when trying to install cwm. Open rom manager press menu, clear cache and try again if possible on wifi.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trench619:
I was on WIFI when I did this last night. I'm not on WIFI now, but when I get home tonight I will try to flash "ClockworkMod Recovery" after trying "Clear Download Cache"
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trench619:
NICE ONE!! that seemed to do the trick. Your a life saver man! I was able to get into clockworkMod Recovery and do a NonDroid backup.

Wile doing the backup it gave a message i'm not sure if I should be worried about. The message was: "No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext. generating md5 sum…"

But it ran for a a lil bit and then said "backup complete!"

So, is that anything I should worry about? or is my backup just fine?

also, should I use the clockwork recovery mode's "Install zip from sdcard" to install my new Cyanogen mod? Or use the function in the ROM Manager app "install ROM from SD card"?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
Don't worry about the No sd-ext found message, it will only back up sd-ext if you have partitioned your sdcard.

And the general advice is not to use Rom manager for flashing always to it manually in recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trench619:
Cool, thanks for the info...

So I have the new version of CyanogenMOD installed and everything went just fine. Only thing is I’m totally lost in this new OS. How do I recover all my old info? Like my app’s and my contacts?

When I attempt to go to "Accounts & Sync" and add my Google account and password, it brings me to another page called server settings with a "Domain\Username" & "Password" & "Server" section... the info for those fields are already plugged in, when I click "next" I get an error saying "Unable to open connection to server".

Also, I don’t see a market place app anymore. I guess I’m a little confused here.

Please help, I’m lost in this new ROM. No contacts, none of my apps, and I can’t even find the market place to download anything again.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
Google asked cyanogen not to include Google apps in the cyanogenmod Rom so they have to applied seperately, if you have a look in the cyanogen wiki you can read the full story.

So you need to flash gapps, download them from here http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip and then flash them in recovery, just like you flashed the Rom.

Then when you reboot you will be guided through the initial setup, where you can log in to your Google account. You will be asked what Google apps you would like to install, then you can go to the market and download all of your apps again.

If you haven't all ready I strongly recommend downloading titanium backup. So if you decide to switch to a different Rom at some point you can easily restore all your apps and data. But only use it for user apps and not system apps.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trench619:
When I install the gapps zip file I download from the link you provided, I’m not sure if I’m supposed to select any of the following options wile installing it:

"Backup existing ROM"

"Wipe Data & Cache"

"Wipe Dalvik Cache"

I don’t wanna overwrite anything I’m not supposed to (sorry, I’m kind of new here).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
Don't use Rom manager for flashing, reboot In to recovery and navigate to your downloads folder on your sdcard and select the gapps, let it flash and then reboot your phone.

You don't need to wipe anything before flashing gapps.

Rom manager has been known on occasion to cause people issues when flashing, It's rare but you are better to be safe and do everything manually.

Glad you got it going your way. Just don't forget to hit the thanks button for those that have given you help.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trench619:
thanks for all the help guys, got this thing rolling now with the new MOD, my contacts, and all my Google apps back. Couldn't have done it without both of you.

Clicked the thanks buttons too.. didn't even notice it there until you mentioned it.

I guess I can app themes to CyanogenMOD.... got any favorites I should check out?

I guess I gotta download them from the market place?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
Glad you got everything up running, my favourite themes are by an xda member called sonnysekhon. Check his thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=854907 all of themes are available from the market and his thread has some cool additions.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplus93:
I have a fascinate that i got from a friend, when i got it it was fine and everything worked great. I was originally planning on switching to verizon and getting my own plan, so i took it to the verizon store to have them check to see it was alright in their system for activation and they said it would, but i ended up sticking with my talk and text sprint plan for a while. After using it off contract for a while i got tired of carrying two phones and cloned my esn and programming information to it so i could use it on my sprint line. Well, now i have an epic and i put everything back to the way it was, but its giving me the "press send to activate" screen. Im sorry for the long-winded explanation, but i didn't want to get yelled at or banned fore talking about esn cloning. Any help would be appreciated, i want to know if i can bypass it or will verizon be able to do it for a non-verizon customer without forcing me into a contract.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] times_infinity:
You can try continually activating it until it by passes due to too many failed activation attempts.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplus93:
Thanks, about to try that now, I'll try 10 attempts and report back if it works or not, I guess that would be enough
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplus93:
Nope, that didn't work, I gues I might have to take a trip to the verizon store, this is gonna be fun

-edit- I forgot to mention that after the third attempt it took me to page with only one button that said try again, if anyboy knows a generic programming setup I can put into qpst that would be nice since I think that's the problem, it has a sprint MIN and MSID with a verizon prl

[General Questions and Answers] jonny68:
I cant see a great deal about this Tablet on here asides from one thread asking for a dedicated forum to be created on XDA which as far as i can see hasn't be done yet, i got an email....

http://www.komplett.ie/Komplett/pro...TAB210_v2_4GB_Android_2_1/TAB210/default.aspx

and immediately the price struck me as being incredibly cheap for a Tablet especially in rip off, recession hit Ireland where everything is expensive , ive never heard of Yarvik before a search on Google leads me to believe they are a Dutch company, i realise this Tablet cant compare with the Motorola Xoom's,etc of the Tablet world but the specs for this price look pretty good to me and for those on a budget this would be ideal but the only reviews i can find for this are on YouTube in Dutch language i think.

Does anyone have one of these Tablets and if so can you give me the lowdown, can you flash Honeycomb onto it and hack/root it,etc,etc.

cheers:)
[General Questions and Answers] jonny68:
Anyone at all?
[General Questions and Answers] oka1:
I do not have one but it looks like a repackage of one of the other tablets. Right now, you can do better that that unit for about the same amount of money. If it were me, I would look at the color nook and go that route. The unit has support and it does not have a locked boot loader so you can do anything to it. It is about 130 quid, but retails @ 155 +/- I have one and did look at all the cheapo off brands but looking into it further I went with the Color nook. Glad I did, keeps my flashing/modding addiction fed...and happy .......:)
[General Questions and Answers] helladerpbro:
Let me preface this by saying I'm about as tech-savvy as Betty White, but I *am* dutch, a translator, and have been looking to buy one of these myself, so let me just recap what I've gleaned from the dutch reviews and forums I've found so far:

-As a rule folks seem to be pretty happy with their purchase. It won't blow you away, but it does a very decent job for its price range.

-I'm not sure about Honeycomb, but folks *have* successfully replaced it with Froyo and there seems to be a fairly active community hell bent on forcing it to do things it was previously unable to do.

-Android Market is not included and will not install properly (although there are plenty of alternative sources and manual installation of apps to make up for that). It *will* install and run if the device runs Froyo, but that comes with its own downsides (reportedly the computer can no longer recognize the device's microSD card when connected, ie you can't browse its contents although it still works on the tablet)

-Youtube won't work via browser but will run on the youtube app

-apparently the logo/button labels/sticker on the device fade very quickly

-a fairly common issue seems to be that the device sometimes refuses to turn on (even though the battery still holds a charge) until connected to the charger again

-the wifi occasionally vanishes (which seems to require nothing more complicated than a reboot to fix)

-a few folks have mentioned the device refusing to start up and reporting a fatal error, but this magically fixes itself after a few hours of waiting and proceeds to work like nothing happened.

That's about all I know so far, hope it helps

Oh and P.S. the likely culprit for the device's not turning back on without being hooked up to a power source is a battery management app, removing this seems to fix that problem for some, and a few people report a strange glitch in which the device reverts its date back to 1970 each time it's turned off.
[General Questions and Answers] jonny68:
Thanks for the response, sounds interesting, theres someone on eBay Ireland selling this tablet for €149 when i sent them this Komplett link they responded saying they were aware of that and Komplett are making a loss on this:confused: strange response as it doesn't make sense for a retailer to "make a loss"

Anyway for this price im sorely tempted until such time i can afford as ASUS EEE Transformer or Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.V or similar tablet with Android.

Has anyone heard if and when they will be carrying this phone?

THANKS.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Good question and it appears the answer is yes.

My only issue with Best Buy. Is that I'm a NON-contract customer with T-Mobile USA. And Best Buy always wants to charge an arm + both legs for anyone who wants to buy off contract. They specialize in selling with contract, they don't like us non-contract folks.

I'd love it if they'd price match a non-contract price, even the T-Mobile store's $549. Just because Best Buy has some nice protection and buyback type plans. (Not saying I'd nessisairly use their plans, but nice to have options if you want them.) But for me, they're not an option if they do the Sensation like all their other non-contract phones, that they sell for way over regular retail price. I'm sure their non-contract price for the Sensation will be about $650 :eek: . They're already selling the EVO 4G out of contract for $599, while you can get that at Amazon off contract for just $469.99, regular retail price for that one is $499.99

Thanks for that info. As for me I buy at Best Buy because well i have credit there and don't want to open up credit anywhere else.

18 month no interest is not a bad deal for me since i always pay off my purchases within a few months so it works for me.

I really hope they match and have this phone on the June 15.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomthebomb:
So apparently since I have less than 10 posts im not good enough for the CM7 Thread :(

I have been using CM7 RC.2 and RC.3 on the Thunderbolt and I have been having a problem with 3g and 4g connectivity. From what I have been reading in that forum, the Froyo radios are supposed to be working well.

My problem is that the tread devoted to Tbolt Radios doesnt make any sense to me. I wouldn't say that I'm new to this community but I don't really understand the difference between the images, nor which one is considered "Stock".

I Tried the radio that was listed in the CM7 OP (1.16.00.0223r) and I had horrible results. Many times when I was driving I had no connectivity at all.

Can anyone send me a link to the radio image that im supposed to be using?

Thank you
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanren78:
I had poor radio experience while on CM7. I am not to sure if the ROM has anything to do with it, but I had tried flashing various kernels and still had poor radio performance. I am on the GB MR2 and hit 4G for the first time in my house. Granted it was on brief. I am also running BAMF 2.0 #5
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojonation1487:
download lte on/off from the market. switch between cdma lte/whatever the hell (i don't remember but you'll know what i'm talking about) and cdma auto then go back after you get 3G. also try fix permissions.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomthebomb:
Well I have been using the switch from the market but it doesn't seem to have the option to turn 4G back on. Right now I'm on CDMA auto so only 3G. Instead of saying LTE/CDMA Auto or whatever it just says unknown. Which is why I assume that I'm using the wrong radio image.

Again I am using the radio image that is listed in the cm7 forum OP.

And I do know that it is still a very early build so if this is just random bugs that are specific to my phone I would not be surprised.

Thanks again for the help guys

[HD7 General] quetzal_7:
Hello all,

So I got a broken HD7 for cheap off of ebay. I think it's stuck in demo mode, and I'd like to flash it's ROM. I'm using it for a dev phone, so I don't need most of the functionality of the _phone_ part.

The problem is that the volume buttons are broken, so getting into bootloader mode isn't possible via holding the down volume button during power up. I think I saw another method some where, but I can't find it again...

Is there another way to get the phone into bootloader mode?

I found a link to a EnterBootloader.exe file but the thread didn't have instructions on how to use it.

If not, and my memory isn't wonky, what is the other method?
