Hi folks,

I have been struggling with flashing back my desire to a stock ROM. I want to start from scratch by flashing the stock RUU because I cant move from this stage to customize my phone.

Software information :

Android

2.2

Baseband ver.

32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

Kernel version

2.6.32.15-g2633d94

Build number

2.33.161.2 CL284358 release keys

Softw. No

2.33.161.2

HBOOT 0.93.0001

S-ON

I've tried these RUUs to get it back:

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed

RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126338_signed

but every time I get ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR

Is it necessary to go trough this guideline before flashing RUU? ---> [HOW-TO] downgrade HBOOT 0.92 to 0.80 again

Do I have Hboot 0.93 instead of 0.92?

Can somebody help me with this please?
[Desire General] monsterfly:
Root your phone with unrevoked.

Because your phone is branded (2.33.161.2 is Vodafone if I'm not mistaken) you will need goldcard too if you want to flash unbranded 2.29.405.5 rom.
[Desire General] leeris:
I tried to use unrevoked guideline but it says to go to HBOOT menu and there to the 'HBOOT USB', but this I don't have.

My HBOOT menu:

Fastboot

Recovery

Clear Storage

Simlock
[Desire General] EddyOS:
"On EVO 4G, you will have to select HBOOT USB at that menu by pressing volume down four times, then power. Wait until the screen flashes through an “SD Checking” message before pressing buttons; otherwise, the phone will ignore keypresses."

Not relevent in our case...
[Desire General] leeris:
Unfortunately it couldn't pass trough. unrevoked says "failed to get root. is your software too new?" - any hint please?

+ is the goldcard inevitable only for RUUs or also for flashing custom ROMs if I am branded?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You need to use unrEVOked 3.21 - but if you wanna debrand then just use a gold card to flash 2.29.405.5
[Desire General] zhaominghao:
if you want update，you can use goldcard,if you want downgrade,give me your email add, I can give you a software to do that
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:

Hey,

I just installed CM7 RC6 for T-bolt, and one thing I liked about the HTC Facebook app was the contact sync and the fact that it didn't take the person's facebook name but what I put on my phone.

Is there another app out there that does that, that I can run on CM7???

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gabe3:
I was going to get the transformer but I checked out the thrive, it looks pretty good cause of the full size ports and sd card reader.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] v0kal:
Cool......
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gabe3:
trying to get your post count up i see
[Eee Pad Transformer General] v0kal:
Not quite.... Why would I want to do that?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] b1ackplague:
Look's kind of chunky. It's .62" thick vs. the TF being .47". It's also 1.6 lbs vs 1.49 lbs for the TF. And it has an LED screen that i'm assuming is not IPS.

Pass.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lie_ui:
I was also considering the Toshiba tablet before buying my transformer, but then I noticed its a lot thicker, and a lot heavier.

The Toshiba also has 1 SD slot, and no microSD.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bearen61:
Screen is acrylic, not Gorilla Glass. Not getting a tablet with a plastic screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cowballz69:
I would not go near that. Even if I got it for free that junk would go s8 on ebay. Transformer is FTW with price, hardware' features, dock. I don't know why other manufactures even bother
[Eee Pad Transformer General] UKseagull:
I didn't know that. :eek:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gabe3:
theres no confirmation on what screen it has yet. but if it does have a acrylic screen, no go for me. it is suppose to have a ips screen. those two things will be the determining factor for me.

it would have to be heavier and thicker than the transformer since it has full size ports, and more of them. I want a tablet with a sd slot, so I can view raw photos from my camera's sd card, that or a usb port. usb ports should be standard on android tablets, even if it means thicker and heavier, this isn't the damn ipad. if .something inches thicker and a couple hundred grams is to much for people, time to hit the gym.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
Get a MicroSD card and use the MicroSD to SD card adapter, now you can view photos on your TF without using the dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Pacifik:
Is the screen plastic or the digitizer? Source?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gabe3:
hm, I didn't know those existed, that is a good idea, thanks. would still like a usb port for thumb drives and external HD.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mikewong27:
So does Acer Iconia... but Toshiba Thrive will not be as good as TF... It will be heavier and bulkier as well... It still doesn't have a keyboard dock that can charge your tablet. Overall value wise, I think TF is still the best...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] turbulent28:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] zephiK:
TF101 > Thrive in terms of price.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lani Kai:
I was sold on the Toshiba when they first announced it back in January. It seemed much more appealing than the offerings from Motorola, Samsung, and LG. I even signed up to be "notified as more information becomes available."

And then nothing happened. Their website never saw any updates, and the device had very little media exposure. 3 months later, I heard about the Transformer, and a few weeks after that, I placed an order on launch day. Still nothing from Toshiba at this point.

Last week, I finally received my first "update" e-mail from Toshiba, five months after I'd signed up. They said I should pre-order one now. I've had a Transformer for a month and a half and could not be happier with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JohnnyEpic:
Cant wait to get one of those HP tablets. ASUS set the bar high though..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jinsoku3g:
I think most people in the Asus transformer forum would be more into the asus transformer than other tablets...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] newtybar:
Does it actually have the digitizer? I read that it did, but there's no mention of it anywhere.

You'd think they would market it better if it had it. That's a big deal to me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] james robinson:
I saw a video on the thrive. Can you say "Brick?" The good thing about it is that you can replace the back cover and battery!!! Sweet!!!

Edit!!! The 8gb model cost more than the 16 gb TF!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
Ok, devil's advocate here since I don't care for the Thrive, but it does have things that the TF doesn't have:

Removable battery.

Full-sized SD slot. You can use either SD or microSD in it (with the adapter that comes with every microSD card), but you can't stick an SD card into a microSD slot.

Grippy back. God how I wish the TF had this.

Full sized USB and HDMI ports, and a mini USB port.

Physical rotation lock switch.

A dock that charges the tablet! (Italics cause this makes me the most jealous)

Status lights.

And perhaps better build quality than the TF (won't know that for sure until it's released). For $30 more than the TF, I think it's a mighty fine deal (and regular SD cards are cheap if you need more storage than 8GB). All that full-sizing makes it a little bulkier than the TF, but some people may not mind if it is built solidly and feels rugged.

Jesus, I may have just talked myself into one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mknewman:
I went for the Thrive (it's on pre-order) because the SD slot supports SDXC! There are already 128gb SDXC out there, and they will go up to 2TB, so even the 8gb low end version should do just fine. SDXC is the new standard past SDHC. I'm personally pumped about the Thrive.

Oh, aparently it does have Gorilla Glass also.

Only thing I'm not crazy about is the rubber door, which surely will wear and eventually break off like the one on my old Dash.

I'm planning on getting a door in green (as in envy that all the Ipad users will have), screen protector, and dock once it comes.

I did look very closely at the TF but decided I wasn't crazy about the hinge attachment system, and I have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse anyway. There are going to be a LOT of Honeycomb pads in the near future that all have very similar stats.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] raypou:
Meh. Happy with my transformer, this thrive has no major features I can see that outdo the TF + dock
[Eee Pad Transformer General] UKseagull:
I read somewhere that it has an IPS display too. The Thrive does look quite chunky but it has it's other advantages.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I was thinking the only thing stopping me from getting a TouchPad would be lack of apps. After using the TF with the keyboard dock, however, I think even if webOS does get better in app parity I'd still have a hard time switching back.

Now, if one day HP releases a TF-like webOS tablet with a keyboard dock/battery combo, and the apps come, then I'd have to give it some serious thought. webOS is going to be awesome on a tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
:eek: Looks like we've got some competition.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thremix:
The first link has 2 views, one with gorilla glass and the other with crystal.. which is it?

I think I might go to the thrive if only becasue the creeking on my tablet and the fact that asus really rushed this out the door... poor sound and the creeking are killing me... volume + really helps with the sound but it shouldnt be bad to start off with..

I can handle the tablet being a bit chunky with all those ports this thing will be very useful.. the one and only thing I dont like is the camera on the side?!! No one sees that? I'ts in the way of my left hand!! That in it self could be a deal breaker for me... I'll have to wait and see.

I dont know how it came to be that Apple brain washed everyone in to thinking everything HAS to be SLIM!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrbigdrawz:
i pre ordered one from best buy. figured i give it a test run and return it if i dont like it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mknewman:
I tend to think all these tablets are going to come out of the same plant, same basic innards, materials and the like.

I've got a Thrive on order but I'll go see one in person at Best Buy before I open it. If it's acrylic I'll return it before I open it but I'm almost positive it's Gorilla Glass. The extra heft really doesn't bother me as it's still quite thin and light.

Just so everyone understands I did go to Best Buy and handle a Transformer but they were out of stock, just the demo out on the floor, and when I started looking at stats I decided the Thrive was a better value. I have a really nice Core I7 laptop for work so the docking station really didn't matter much, and did also add $150 to the price.

BTW, thought it might be nice to get a Xoom or G-Slate for the 3/4G stuff but have an Android phone that I can do tethering with via WiFi or Bluetooth, or even a USB cable. If I really want to place a call with the tablet (not sure why) I'll use Google Voice.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gabe3:
I dont really trust those sources. if it had IPS and gorilla glass, wouldn't it say so in the specs? I really hope it does, cause everything else it has is what I want. I guess when it gets closer to july those are questions that will get confirmed.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] visualvalhalla:
Good grief.. that is one fat-a** tablet.

Tosh claims they have special technology applied on the HDMI output to ensure smoother video and brighter colors on your TV. They might be using a higher-spec-ced HDMI transmitter with a 1080p scaler and possibly frame doubler so it will output at 1080p 60Hz instead of 720p 60Hz on TF

Just thought I'd let you know that if you buy the Thrive from Best Buy, they give you 14 days to return it, opened or not, without a restocking fee. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Help-To...es/pcmcat204400050025.c?id=pcmcat204400050025
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
I thought so too until i read in the specs that it's .6" thick -- the Transformer is .5" thick.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mknewman:
Yea, .1" isn't much to get worked up about, and the rubberized backplates should be nice too.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] UKseagull:
I'd posted on Toshiba UK's Facebook page asking if the Thrive had Gorilla glass or an Acrylic screen, this was their reply.

http://www.facebook.com/toshibauk/posts/211087062266617?notif_t=feed_comment
[Eee Pad Transformer General] visualvalhalla:
I agree the numbers are similar, but if you look at the side profile, the TF has a 1/4" thickness and gradually increases to 1/2" --- like a voluptuous model :D . Thrive is just thick all over
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't mind reading about other tablets here, as long as it doesn't take over the forum. A little OT never hurt anyone. I'm intrigued by this one, I'll have to see what the user experiences are. I love this TF, but since I don't really have a need for the dock, if a tablet comes out that's better, comparable in price, and solves the issues I have with the TF, I'm on it.

Haha well I don't mind if it's the same thickness all across -- kind of makes it feel sturdy, especially with that rubberized back. I find the TF slippery when it's out of its case. Hopefully BB will have display models, I'd like to handle one to see if it's built more solidly than the TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kingwp1:
I didn't know you could buy a microsd card without the adapter. Every MicroSD card I've ever bought for the past 5-6 yrs came with one.

The downside (I've only heard, as I'm not an avid photographer) is that if you're taking really fast shots with a fancy camera, you lose some transfer rate when using the sd adapter with a microsd.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] UKseagull:
The problem is that there isn't a 'Tablet - General discusion' area on XDA, unless I've gone blind! :cool: We have to invade others to be able to post questions which isn't ideal.

Can we have a Toshiba Thrive section, maybe a General Tablet section please admin? (suggestion now sent to XDA staff).

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thremix:
I will not pre order till I know for sure... I still have about 22 days to send my TF back... I think I might do this anyway to try to get one that has no creeking as it really bothers me.. I can live with the bleed issue and the sound... but for some reason the creeking is killing me...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mknewman:
I have a Thrive on order, but after seeing how much thicker it is than Ipods I'm rethinking.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gabe3:
if having full size ports are important to you than .1" thicker than the transformer shouldn't be an issue, if ports aren't important for you than you should get the transformer, cause it is cheaper.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SR45:
Link or its not true.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thremix:
yeah no one knows 100% if it is glass... so link, or not true. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
Since all of the other Honeycomb tablets have glass screens, I'd have to say the burden of proof lies with those who think Toshiba would for some reason cheap out and go acrylic with a $430 tablet. I could say the screen is made of layers of hardened Saran Wrap, someone provide a link that it's not :)

Edit: Well looks like we're both wrong, it's not acrylic or Saran Wrap, it's glass according the the user manual posted on the Toshiba site: http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/con...u3055017/GMAD00281010_THRiVE-AT100_052011.pdf .

What's the best custom ROM to install on an android device like samsung galaxy s ?

Cm7 ?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] swanniebroo:
Hey,

I just installed CyanogenMod 7 on my milestone using openrecovery. Everything was working perfectly, but the battery was draining like there's no tomorrow.

Started at 50% when I first booted, I downloaded a couple of apps from the Market, and went down to 20% (in the space of about 10 minutes). So I plugged in the phone charger (USB into back of my computer), and then while configuring settings, battery went to 4% (it was checking in 1% increments, which I have since found out that drains the battery). The phone then died. So, the phone was using WAAAAAY more power than the USB port could supply. Anyway, thought I'd let it charge for a while, then go back into the settings, and remove the 1% increments, to try and get normal battery life.

The phone recharges, and automatically reboots. Its still on 4%, but I went in, turned off the 1% increments. Phone dies again.

Charges about 10 minutes, reboots itself again. During this period, I did some research, and found that the battery draining can be caused by excessive CPU usage, resulting in the screen staying on even when it's off (?).

But, alas, no luck. I don't have enough battery to flash the stock SBF.

All I really want is:

a) a way to just have the thing charge without turning itself on, and

b) a workaround to get at least half-decent battery on CM.

Thanks,

David.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rampee:
[Disclaimer: not guaranteed to work, I don't take responsibility for anything you do your phone!]

Try deleting your /data/system/batterystats.bin before trying this procedure out. You can use an app like Root Explorer to do this. If you're unable to, proceed with bump charging.

Try bump charging:

1. Remove battery, put it back in after a good 2-3 minutes and connect phone to a wall charger. Make sure the phone is still switched off while it's charging.

2. After it finishes charging completely (green LED), let the charger be switched on and connected - remove the battery alone (without switching off charging).

3. After a few seconds, you will see a "?" on your screen, after which you insert the battery back in (while charger is still switched on).

4. Wait till charging completes again (green LED).

5. Plug out charger, wait for 2-3 minutes and plug charger back in and start charging again. It should now be fully charged.

6. Turn phone on while charging, after booting into CM, try OC'ing it to 800MHz interactive governor, apply settings on boot and restart your phone.

Hope this fixes your problem. Good luck!

Anyone can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] girinovey:
I had the same problem some time ago and tried all this to no avail. I even changed to froyomod for some time, but CM7 is far superior so I just came back to it. The problem happened again this morning just after using google maps. I then rebooted and uninstalled all google maps updates. Seems to be working o far.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] swanniebroo:
hey, yeah, just one problem with that - i can't boot into android for longer than about 3 seconds, and now there is no way to revert, as the bootloader says Battery Low.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] girinovey:
Can't you boot into recovery, flash another rom and then reboot into android?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kabaldan:
Don't charge from usb, use wall charger. That way, the system will boot only to charge-only screen, android system itself not running.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] swanniebroo:
Hey, kabaldan, I found that out.

Charged 100% using the bump method instructed above. Battery life is still worse than useless, 50% in about a half hour.

will performing those other steps help?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rampee:
Can you try another fully charged Milestone/Droid battery?

If that doesn't work it might be a problem with your phone's hardware. I know it might be a long shot, try cleaning your phone's and your battery's leads (connectors) if they might've accumulated rust/dust or something. Not sure.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Paitor:
Don't know if this is a similar problem but mine goes down in % pretty fast too but then it can stay for 1% for half a day
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] swanniebroo:
No, mine definitely dies. At around 5%, although I did turn off the 1% increments, because I heard they guzzled battery.

The battery life is getting progressively better, but as soon as I use 3G, or open any half-decent games, it drops to about 40% in ~.00001 seconds.

Although, to be fair, I didn't get great battery life on stock rom, either. And my ram always seem chokkas. Like usually only have about 50mb, and I'm not running anything too hectic.

Unfortunately, I think I'll get the Samsung Epic as soon as they bring out the GSM version. I just want an android phone with an unlocked bootloader, insanely large screen, and hardware keyboard, not to mention ~20 days battery life. Is that too much to ask?
