[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErwinVermeulen:
Dear guys from XDA,

I think I messed up real good this time. My rooted HTC Desire with a 2.2 ROM wasn't taking the update which I wanted to do. To fix this I tried to manually update my phone by downloading the update on my computer and run it via Recovery mode. I used the option install zip from sd card.

Unfortunately by doing so, I did not realize I deleted my ROM and replaced it with an update. Now I'm stuck with a phone in bootloop and red triangle when trying to access recovery mode to install my older ROM (which I usually did when I messed it up).

I know I can press the volume up button and reboot but then I get stuck into a bootloop. Eventually I have to pull the battery out and I'm back at the beginning. Can't do anything anymore.

I tried many tutorials but I could not fix this, also I'm not really into the 'techy' stuff so can you guys be real clear in your help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
sounds like you're just missing a ROM on your phone. Can't you just download the ROM you want, put it on your SD card and flash that to get back up and running? Or restore a NANDroid backup?

...assuming you mean you rooted your phone and then failed at flashing a ROM..but it sounds like you might mean you attempted to download and OTA update after being rooted?

Download a ROM, put it on your SD card, boot into Recovery (vol. down + power), wipe all data, cache, dalvik, then install the new ROM from the SD card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErwinVermeulen:
Hi,

thx for your reply. I am indeed missing a ROM. The problem is that I can't access the option 'install zip from sdcard' in my recovery mode. I am now trying to rename a ROM as update.zip so I can install that. Any further suggestions?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.c:
Can you get into fastboot ? (back button + power)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErwinVermeulen:
Yes i can enter that. Does that help me?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.c:
Install HTC Sync, download the RUU which most resembles your original RUU from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695667.

Connect your phone via USB in fastboot, and run the RUU.exe you've downloaded. You should be fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzumagos:
yes it helps you

you can run a RUU now

just plug phone with usb cable to PC, boot into fastboot mode and execute the RUU.exe

it will go back to stock, you will lose root and custom recovery but at least it will boot up, so you can root again etc.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErwinVermeulen:
Thx guys! that did it for me! Really easy job! You have no idea how relieved I am right now. Some tech-guys at my local computer shop told me to send it back to the manufacturer cuz the ROM needed to be synced with the motherboard. I already thought it was a weird story.

Again, thx XDA!

I have been using an iPhone since 2008.. and I do not like it anymore.

I plan to get a Samsung Galaxy s2 or equivalent and go the way of the Droid.

When you have to work/fix iCrap (yes they do fail more so then you think) you tend to dread seeing them come in.

They are not serviceable friendly, (and I am talking about ALL iProducts) overpriced, underpowered and marketed to sheeple by a n narcissistic prude.

Case in point, It takes between 40 to 60 min to replace the MB in a iMac if you know what your doing. A PC motherboard can be swapped in under 10 min.

All iProducts mfg after 2008 require specialized tools just to work on them and in some cases only available from Apple.

I had to purchase a special driver just to open up the macbook Air's for $30. They sent me a plastic handle with the special bit worth all of $2 at harbor freight. (if they carried it)

I have asked many of time to be able to takeout some frustration on one and shooting any apple product would be fun but it would not compare to the satisfaction of using tannerite. :eek:

[EVO 4G General] PUNKYOU007:
So my friend has an EVO that was Rooted with Unrevoked. He sold it to his brother who did the OTA update like last week. Now the phone will power on and get stuck on the white screen that says "htc EVO 4G"

I have been working since 7:30 this morning trying to get it to work again. I have read pages of info on this problem but nothing seems to work for me. I Downloaded two different PC36IMG.zip files onto his SD card while it was in my EVO, then I had to move the PC36IMG.zip from the "downloads" file on the SD card to the main list of files using Astro.

I then put the SD card back into his phone and held the vol. down & power button to get in the hboot screen. The phone scans the SD card finds the file, does its little loading thing with the blue progress bar on the right...then it says "checking..." then it says

"Main version is Older

Update Fail!

Do you want to reboot device?

<vol up> Yes

<vol down> No"

I am at a loss
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
You did how much reading?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15048543&postcount=1551

Check your bootloader. Is it s-on or s-off?

If it is s-off:

Get a pc36img of amon ra's recovery. Flash it like you have been trying to flash those other img's. When it is done and it asks about rebooting, say no. On the next screen, select recovery. Once in recovery, hook your phone up to your comp and enable usb. Put a Rom, such as CM7 or Mik's in the root of your card by drag and dropping from your computer. Close usb. Make a nandroid backup. Wipe everything, except sdcard. Don't format card right now! Flash the Rom you dropped on your SD. Reboot.

If it is s-on:

Find the official ruu. Run it. Learn patience, because it may be months before they find a root exploit.
[EVO 4G General] hrubak:
This may help

http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-unroot-your-htc-evo-4g/

Run the RUU and it may recover your Evo.

***THIS WILL REMOVE ROOT***
[EVO 4G General] PUNKYOU007:
His phone says S-on.

I am trying the RUU now but at the HBOOT menu it never says HBOOT USB when its plugged in.
[EVO 4G General] hrubak:
Dont use HBOOT USB use fastboot, Watch the video on the site i posted @ 2:28min it shows what to select in the bootloader
[EVO 4G General] PUNKYOU007:
Im sorry, lol, thats what I meant. I push the power button when highlighting fastboot and it goes to the screen that says fast boot on top in red then says bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down....but it never changes to Fastboot USB.
[EVO 4G General] hrubak:
Is your USB cable plugged in ? :)

or you have the wrong driver on your PC, there are 3 or so different drivers that can load mabe you need to change it to the one posted at the bottom of that page. or your phone is borked, if it is S-On take it to a sprint store and thay may be able to flash it for you.
[EVO 4G General] PUNKYOU007:
Yes the USB is plugged in, i even tried 3 other USB ports. I downloaded that driver and after it was done I extracted the ZIP...but what now? In his video he didnt have to do anything.
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
I know it sounds a little too simple, but have you tried to clear storage from the bootloader?

I don't believe there is an official RUU of 4.22+ available yet, which leaves you kind of screwed. Since the bootloader is s-on, you cannot run any unofficial PC36IMGs through the bootloader. Since the update stuck you with the new bootloader, every RUU is going to give you that error.

Good news is that since you're s-on, you can take it to a Sprint store, tell them what happened (minus the root details, duh) and see what they can do.

Good luck!
[EVO 4G General] PUNKYOU007:
i will give it back to him and tell him to try that. Thanks
[EVO 4G General] dottat:
Make sure you copy the files off the SD card and wipe the SD card before you take it to sprint!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] yoyigo07:
As we know, nobody with this phone from american countries can use the gps if they upgrade to gingerbread from european firmware.

The user FMAranda had uploaded a brazilian firmware, wich version is 2.3.4:

http://www.multiupload.com/AUQF5ITOCB But, if we flash this firmware WE CAN'T ROOT THE PHONE.

If you want to solve the gps, the SOD (until now), and root the phone, do this:

-download gingerbread 2.3.4 KPH http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JTRTHJYN

-download brazilian gingerbread

-Flash the phone like this:

boot: KPH

modem: Brazilian

pda: KPH

csc: KPH

The gps works perfectly, no more SOD, and you can root the phone as you do usually from gingerbread 2.3.3

Finally, if you want to use "coderom", you have to flash the phone as the same way as you flash KPH:

boot: coderom

modem: Brazilian

pda: coderom

csc: coderom

You can root with my ClockworkMod Recovery port and the AceGingerRoot.zip that I've posted on the same thread.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ilarrain:
Anyway, the phone only works well for me if I have 3G connections disabled. Including GPS.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] yoyigo07:
3G isn't working only for Entel Chile (frecuency 1900 mhz), works in Claro and Movistar (frecuency 850 mhz)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ilarrain:
Thanks, now I know.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] FMAranda:
I was thinking, if I do this, the languages available will be from the brazilian FW or the european FW? Because there's some differents between the PT-PT and the PT-BR. The european FW has only the PT-PT and the brazilian the PT-BR.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] yoyigo07:
The language is from european firmware, but ilarrain has created a cwm where you can root the phone from brazilian firmware. Then you don't have the create a "hybrid" firmware, at least you want to flash with coderom
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] FMAranda:
So, can I root my phone without flashing the FW again?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] yoyigo07:
I haven't tried, but ilarrain said you could root from brazilian firmware with this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138436

I have the coderom with the file modem from brazil

Hi guys, I hope one of you can help on this.

I have installed the villainROM using these instructions.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1087522

I am experiencing the same GPS and 3GS (Entel) issues.

What should I do now in order to fix, at least, the gps issue..... possible without having to reinstall

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] elfarto:
Has anybody from Argentina tested this firmware and found it to work with the local 3G bands (850/1900), i flashed this FW over KPH 2.3.4 but i couldn't get 3G to work on Personal.

BTW, would it be possible to flash Gingerbread but keep the stock (froyo) MODEM firmware ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ~jx:
thanks for sharing this useful info :D but I'll wait for some more comments.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] yoyigo07:
Works fine, except if your band is 1900 mhz (for example, Entel Chile)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] yoyigo07:
You can't do nothing with Villain rom.

If you want to fix the gps, you most do what I said in the first post and your gps is going to work, but you will not have 3G because our band (Entel) is 1900 mhz.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] richter22:
New question.

Thank you for the information. Now there is something that I don't understand (sorry if I am posting this information in the wrong place) , what exactly is:

a KPH.

a Coderom.

a Mod.

What's the name of the original firmware.

you mention that you can use coderom.

boot: coderom

modem: Brazilian

pda: coderom

csc: coderom

Hy everyone!

I have found a very interesting problem regarding my kaiser130 and android...or maybe the problem is in the user? :D

Anyhow my problem is that no matter which android build i try,no matter which kernel and which radio i dont have working wifi and data connection.

At first everything worked fine but then i had some problems and i didnt have time to fiddle around with android because it wasnt too stable and i had many FC-s so i had to go back to winmo.I had 6.1 on it before,have put on hardspl3.34 then started flashing android and after that i put back winmo from a shipped package with ruu . Now i have more time and i started to experiment with android again.I wanted to use cyanogenmod 6.1.2 but had the wifi-error problem but as i saw many other people had the same so i thought i'd go back to another build,namely incubus26jc's super froyo rls16 i used that for days but then when i had to use the apn or wifi it didnt work...or actually wifi worked but only with static ip,i tried switching kernels from a base one downloaded with atools to clemsyns and scoots but nothing worked for me better yet it even got worse it started producing the wifi-error again.I use the most recent radio tried both the emo version and the atw to no success tried installing both to nand sys on nand data ext2 data.img but nothing seems to be working and now no matter which build i try everytime i get the wifi-error and apn isnt working.Can it be that my bootloader is tarting to fail?Or is my kernel getting corrupted?

Oh and i always applied the appropriate module updates for each kernel.

Can somebudy suggest something useful or i was thinking that is it possible to very hard reset the phone i mean to put it back the way it was?Format the nand put back a normal spl,i dont mind trying thing again but i need the data connection and the wifi.

Oh and i forgot to mention the most interesting thing,when i turn on data it actually turns on and in the modem i can see that it even gets an ip address from my phone provider.

Posted by SmartPhoneGeek on 28 Jun 2011 18:53 PM:

As much as I hate to I have to keep things very generic and can't talk about details until an official release is announced. Hopefully my generic comments are better than nothing for you.

It's been working very well for me with improvements everywhere. I'm actually surprised this is not the final version as it feels pretty solid to me. Seeing how well this version is working it seems as if they must be close to completion. And if this version did not pass testing then they must really be putting a lot of emphasis on quality.

Hey, this is my second thread in the "questions" forum.

I have finally narrowed down to these 3 phones

HTC Desire HD

Samsung GS2

SE Xperia Play

I'm a gamer and a web developer/business person.

I need good gaming, full web browsing and mainly XDA's active custom ROMs' development forum =D

Other than this I want to know from the user which is worth a buy.

I would go for Xperia Play but the low ram and the lack of custom roms from their "development" section is a bummer.

Desire HD has good support from XDA and their development thread is active. But, the new samsung GS2 has higher CPU but Im not a fan of Samsung though cause of their UI, though I can change the UI but their plastic like built is not worth the price tag.

Well, I must be wrong in my facts.

So confused =|

anyone care to show me light ?

Thanks.
[General Topics] jazux:
in my opinion SE xperia play is a big joke :cool: so now that that is out of the game i would recommend desire HD because it has very good xda community, its powerful enough, nice screen :)

SGS2 is nice and it samsung has said that it will have 18 months of updating time, its too expensive IMO...

SO the winner is

Desire HD
[General Topics] bornotty:
thanks for your suggestion. =)
[General Topics] xclusiv8:
I would pick the galaxy s2 anyday. The quality is higher than most people think. Its also future proof.

Xda support keep increasing for it.

On another side you can always pick up the nexus s.
