[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krrasmuss:
Oki.. time to toss in the towel and be a cowering noobster...

I have a Desire HD. I had it fully updated with HTC's ROM. BUt I got tired and desided to root my phone....

So I continued to downgrade it, and got it ser to radio-off by following some easy steps some finnish guy posted here. Cudos to you my friend, and where is that damn thank you button.... ut I got the phone to build 1.32 something and the $ goes # when I do su in a shell....

Got Clockwork flashes to newest version. And desided to download the newest version of Cyanogenmod, though not the Nightly Build. It downloads, and asks if I want to rebot phone to flash it... I want to do that, so yes please.

Then my frustration sets in. I get this red triangle with a exclamation mark on top of it. press volup and power, and I get a manu. Juts before I get the menu I get an Error. E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command. ANd if I try to do the "Apply sdcard:update.zip" I get a validation error check.

I have tried to find out where I turn off the validation, but no luck there...

And now for my question... since this is a question forum.

Have I missed something? And in case of yes, what might that be? and WHat can be done to make it happend.

In advance.. thanks. ANd sorry if I bored you with the trivial facts of my problem...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawks556:
How did you flash clockworkmod recovery? I'd try flashing it again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twiztedvvv:
Bear in mind if you select sdcard:update.zip

You have to rename the downloaded cyanogen zip to 'update.zip' and put it in the root if the SD. Or select choose zip from the cwm menu instead of renaming it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
The red triangle is the stock recovery, try reflashing recovery via ROM manager or fastboot and see how you get on
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krrasmuss:
Thanks. Flashing clockwork from rom manager worked when I did it the 5th time or so. Anyways, I am here now in custom rom. And works great.

Thanks for the tips.

when i tied rooting my phone i had the same problem. i spent a lot of time trying and failing. thanks for this thread guys :) been very helpful
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krichmond0306:
I have to ask a potentially stupid question but what is the albumthumbs folder for in my android/data folder. It is huge in size and if I don't need it id rather get rid of it. Next to the folder that had my mp3s in it and my domain backup it is the largest file on my sdcard at over 600mb!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Album art.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krichmond0306:
I deleted it and it came back, how do I prevent that? Is there a setting i am missing somewherem
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
May be a setting in music player to choose whether to cache and/or collect album art thumbnails. Same story on Pandora or other similar streaming player.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyetheskin:
I've tried nearly all top music apps and they all do the same and none of them have options for a disable toggle. I'm curious to figure this out too. my only alternative is to permanently disable media scanner but the downside is to reenable it if you've added new photos,audio or video
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
idk, short of changing the permissions for the folder so nothing can write to it, after deleting the existing, and that's a guess, may not work.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyetheskin:
no go cause sd card doesn't allow permission changes
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Stumped here...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyetheskin:
it's clearly a missing or dysfunctional option since I noticed poweramp,tunewiki and winamp all do it.tried getting responses from the devs on those apps but no response as well as no info on the web
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7he Messiah:
Are the files in the album art folder hidden? I only have Astro at my disposal right now as I'm at work, but I show nothing in there. One thing to note, ALL my MP3s have their album art embedded in the ID3 tag, so it has no need to cache anything.. maybe that's key?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyetheskin:
they aren't hidden since I have astro to show everything.most files in here are 3.97mb each and when you got 10GB of music.that's a lot of cache that's wasting space and embedding over 1700 songs would take to long
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7he Messiah:
I see. Something you might look into if you have a Windows machine available is the free program MediaMonkey, which will automatically tag entire directories of files with album art (among other tags, if you wish) from the internet. It's not perfect, but it beats the hell out of doing it manually.

Please note this is operating on the assumption that I'm right about why my folder is empty. One could prove that one way or the other by clearing that cache directory and moving all music off the SD card and then put a couple of ID3 tagged files on and see if their cache remained empty. I would think the time invested in such an endeavor would be minimal compared to the gain in disk space if my theory is correct.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyetheskin:
maybe I'll experiment with a few songs once I transfer songs where they can't be detected and go from there
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7he Messiah:
I just had a thought that using a ".nomedia" file might be constructive in this case so you don't actually need to remove your current library.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyetheskin:
what should I try doing with it? adding it to where the cache is stored?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7he Messiah:
A .nomdedia file tells the Android Media Service to disregard the directory it resides in when scanning for media, so I was thinking you could drop it into your music folder and then make a new music folder ("Temp" or "Music2" or whatever) and put the tagged songs in there.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chmac7:
The problem is not the folder itself, album art should be tiny pictures, so on a 10G card, max 4k songs, it should be less than 20Mb. I'm having the same problem, my sd card is getting filled with a single mp3 file being repeatedly copied to the albumthumbs folder. That's a bug, and a pretty serious one. Has anyone else experienced the same issue?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyetheskin:
I switched to playerpro which doesn't do it
[General Topics] AzrealNimer:
Hello, guys, I tried to post this topic in android software developers subforum jet forum engine did not let me (I did not post 10 messages in total).

Well, back to the topic.

As a developer (coder or what ever you call ppl creating apps) I'm trying to get a following result:

http:\\developer.android.com\resources\articles\images\on-screen-inputs_002.png

(You need to change slashes \ to / to make the link work)

For those who don't want to bother checking out link - I want to make a "Done" button appear to the right of EditText, while in Landscape orientation and while EditText has focus (which means softkeyboard covers everything except EditText).

|-------------------------------------------------|---------------------|

| Auto Complete Text View (FOCUSED) | "DONE" button |

|-------------------------------------------------|---------------------|

| Soft keyboard that covers everything else

I quite dont get how to make that freaking "Done" button to appear in landscape mode when textbox has focus ;/.
[General Topics] AzrealNimer:
I found answer myself: buttons appear after specifing android:imeOptions="actionDone" or android:imeOptions="actionSearch" or android:imeOptions="actionNext" ("Done","Search" and "Next" buttons). The problem was that HTC phones does not support showing those buttons in landscape orientation (I use htc phone for tests).

Anyways... is there a way to show custom button instead of "Search" or "Done" button in EditText (orientation:landscape)?

Hello everyone! It's me again!

What's this you ask?

It's a quick and easy way to get ClockworkMod Recovery installed on your LG Revolution 4G.

Super simple. Download app. Install app. Click button. Done!

​
[LG Revolution] iomthd:
You're doing great things here. It's much appreciated
[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
Thank you for this, it will def help lots of people who are a little less computer friendly, such as myself

also....that's a whole lotta windows you have open haha
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
3 Monitors helps :)
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Application is coming along nicely!

Features so far:

Check installed clockwork version

Update installed clockwork

Install custom CWR version

Reboot into recovery button

Copy last logfile to SDcard

..and an easter egg

All pretty good for my first Android application :)

It's not that bad once you get the hang of Java...
[LG Revolution] iomthd:
Wow looking good already!
[LG Revolution] Carbon_Rink:
Looks good man. Can't wait to test if you need it.
[LG Revolution] njKeever:
Looks good. What's the advantage of writing your own app as opposed to incorporating your CWM port into Rom Manager?
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
Ooh, "Party Mode!"!
[LG Revolution] powder007:
You are seriously awesome man.
[LG Revolution] iomthd:
Probably ease of implementation and also great practice for future endeavors
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Two reasons:

1) For the LIFE of me, I can't get in contact with anyone with the power to get my CWM port into ROM manager... and

2) If it's THIS hard to get anything into ROM manager, imagine how hard it'd be for me to push updated versions to you as 'quick fixes'.

A third, and slightly less important reason:

3) It's my first Android app, and it seemed like a good project :)
[LG Revolution] Rav20:
well i cant speak for every Revo owner, But form me THANKS!

thanks for all the hard work.
[LG Revolution] ufkal:
I echo all the sentiments. THANKS!!!! Your work is awesome!!!
[LG Revolution] nfederic:
really looking forward to this!
[LG Revolution] Brksy86:
awsome! This being my first rooted phone, im too scared to do anything until I have it backed up, including installing CWM the way you first posted. REALLY looking forward to this.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
thank you. you're the reason i keep my revo. hopefully more devs will join you.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Status Update:

Okay, so Java isn't really my language of choice, else I'd have this done by now haha.

I'm having some troubles with my JSON parser, and a weird issue still with the scripts not being able to output to the log box...

However, hosting is worked out, and so is the function of "Party Mode" :)

Expect good things here by Friday! (had to move the deadline up a few days, wasn't feeling too well today/yesterday)
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
One more lovely teaser shot :)

Now you'll be able to switch back to the stock Revo recovery easily, just in case.
[LG Revolution] nfederic:
Can't wait!
[LG Revolution] dastaak:
In my sdcard/download I have only RevoToolkit-1.0.apk

Am I looking at wrong place?
[LG Revolution] jegonzo3:
You're looking in the right place, I see what markapowell is talking about, as I have two files also, but the other one is named: RevoToolkit-1-1.0.apk, so that is probably a copy of RevoToolkit-1.0.apk.
[LG Revolution] dastaak:
Anything you can think of that can fix the issue? do I need to download these files from somewhere?

What happens if I reboot now?
[LG Revolution] jegonzo3:
I'm probably not the one to ask, I'm good with PC's, but all this stuff on Android phones is new to me and I'm learning as these threads go along.

Wait for one of the other guys to chime in on your issue.
[LG Revolution] wirelessrevolution:
PLEASE HELP!

I downloaded and installed this toolkit.

When I click "Check Installed Recovery Version" it says "INSTALLED RECOVERY VERSION: VERSION NOT FOUND"

When I try to install the Clockwork Recovery 4.0.0.2-pr1, I get an MD5 mismatch error

The same is true when I select RevoStock
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
First make sure busybox is in /system/bin and not /system/xbin. If not, use root explorer to move it there and try again.

Second, more details on what all you have done would help more. I assume you have root already, but anything else? Frozen any apps, etc?
[LG Revolution] dastaak:
Im trying to this manually and getting this error anyone any idea?

$ cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 > /sdcard/recovery-original.img

cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 > /sdcard/recovery-original.img

/dev/block/mmcblk0p14: Permission denied

[LG Revolution] dastaak:
I have rooted my phone, I'm getting exact error I checked busybox is in System/bin folder

I have following installed:

Root Uinstaller

Root file Browser

Revo ToolKit

ES Explorer

ES Task Manager

I was reading the forum and I thought let me try this manually. This is the error now I'm getting at $ prompt:

$ cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 > /sdcard/recovery-original.img

cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 > /sdcard/recovery-original.img

/dev/block/mmcblk0p14: Permission denied

[LG Revolution] dastaak:
never mind i found the problem i was in SU mode
[LG Revolution] dastaak:
I just did the manual method as instructed by Cube at this forum and it works:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1121952

Now it shows:

Installed Recovery Version: 4.0.0.2-pr1
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
So did everyone get it all figured out? I did the superclick root method. I had to go with the old version, the newer one was doing goofy stuff. You just have to remember before you root using that program you must download the drivers. There are 2 sets of drivers, one from LG and one from Verizon. If you don't download both, the root program will freeze up.

When you go to Rom this bad boy, you download Cube's program, extract it on your computer. When you do, You have a file called "revo_decrap-1.1. You will click on it. You may see the same title. That is an error. When you drop it into your sdcard, drop that second revo, and it's contents into the sdcard. If you drop the revo file from your download folder, it causes the M5 error that everyone is talking about.

If you have that all figured out, then it may have to do with your wifi connection upon downloading the file.

Sorry I didn't answer sooner, I was at work all day, and I don't want to talk out my arse, I would rather have the info in front of me.

[LG Revolution] scyther2333:
Thanks...i've been looking at that for a while now.

I'm getting issues with the device not being recognized. I've looked for the drivers everywhere. I've downloaded drivers from LG. I've also download the LGMobile Support Tool but that does not have support for the Revo.

Every time i plug in the phone, i get a few more lines of --portchange --reset--....but in my Device manager, 'Android' still shows up with a Yellow Question mark.

When I try to run the fastboot comman, all it says is "<waiting for device>"

Any suggestions on how to get around this?

Thanks
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Go into your downloads

Libraries>Downloads

In there, you should see:

Android-usb-driver

LG_USB_Drivers_All_4.9.7

These are all the drivers you need for your phone to be recognized by your computer. I pulled these from the forums here, but I can't locate them now. You could go to Unlockr.com, and they should have them there for the superroot process. I am sure you are rooted, but when I went rooted, I got rid of the files I downloaded too, so I had to go back and download the drivers again when I re rooted the phone after going to stock.

If you are still having issues after unzipping both those files, it may be an issue with your phone. I know there are a few complaints about the USB port on the phone, sometimes it won't charge. Or there is an issue with the cable, one guy said he bricked his phone due to a bad cable.

That is it for my knowledge on this. I hope it helps versus hinders. Good luck.
[LG Revolution] scyther2333:
Thanks.....but I already had those drivers installed. Not sure what to do here.

Every time i unplug and plug it back in, i see the screen update with more "--reset --portchange..."

However, when i type adb devices, i don't see anything. I did read somewhere that when the phone is stuck in fastboot mode, you won't see it under adb devices. Can someone confirm this?

Are there any specific fastboot drivers that I can install?

I might just have to take it in to Verizon and see what they do. Any feedback on what verizon might say? Or what i should tell them?
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
If you're seeing "portchange" text, try changing your USB cable or using a different PC.

Some cables just are no good, and some PCs have weird software on them that prevents fastboot mode from working.
[LG Revolution] Phrank630:
Seems like the download for the recoveries are broken....it says download for about 3 seconds (which is way to quick for a few megs), and then fails with a mismatch error on install. Tried it 4G, 3G, Wifi, all with the same result. I also browsed to the IP address displayed in the application and tried to download via the web brower and it failed there to.

Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks!
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
If using your phone, change user agent to android, not desktop. Or download from a computer.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
That shouldn't be the problem, since I'm using wget to do the downloading, and the user agent is always "wget".

With the amount of problems I'm seeing here with files being different, I'm beginning to wonder if it's my host that's serving problem files.

Are most of the bad md5 downloads coming from people on wifi or on 3g?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Thats funny, anytime I've downloaded from goofiles using dolphin hd if I download using desktop user agent it would download 36kb and say complete. If I downloaded with user agent set too android it would download the whole file.
[LG Revolution] Phrank630:
So if you go to this url on your computer:

199.167.134.110/private/iomonster/files/revo-cwm/recovery-stock.tar.gz

(I dropped the http since I can't post links yet...)

Does it download for you? For me, on two different machines, the counter hits 0 and resets back to 10 and continues to repeat this.

That url is what the app on the phone is trying to connect to. The application says it's downloading the package and then instantly moves on to installing it. Would seem unlikely it's download the file that quickly. Again, wifi, 4g, and 3g repeate this issue. This has also been tried from a pc using two different ISP providers so that would rule out filtering of any sort I would imagine.

Any insight?

Thanks

*****Edit*****

I should add that this app did work about 2 weeks ago and downloaded the correct file without issue. Now, the link does not work from a pc or the phone.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:

Using Dolphin Browser I entered web address from the output message on revo toolkit 199.167.134.110/private/iomonster/files/revo-cwm/recovery-stock.tar.gz

**if you attempt to do this on Windows7 it will bring you to a download page and keep looping the countdown but using Dolphin browser and Android setting instead of Desktop works fine.. unknown if same result in stock browser**
