[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farisallil:
my i9020T is frozen on google logo but I want to format the Sdcard before sending it for repair. how can I do that?

I tried formatting it using CWM recovery but everything comes back when "Edit: I reboot the phone into recovery again."

I also tired mounting the usb storage and formatting it through my pc but didn't work!

please help

I have both adb and fastboot working. Are there any commands that I can run to format it from these two? or is there any other way at all?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamgibbo:
You could always "fastboot oem lock" I know it formats /sdcard, /data and /cache plus if your sending it back its a good idea to relock it anyway
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farisallil:
The sdcard doesn't get formatted when I re-lock the bootloader
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:
Unmount SD card first than:

adb shell

mkfs.vfat /dev/block//vold/179:1
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeren:
you said that the phone is frozen at google logo. how come you are able to verify ...that everything comes back when you restart? details please.

If you are able to mount the usb, try just deleting the files manually instead of formating.

A second option would be to:

fastboot oem unlock

actually fastboot oem lock doesnt wipe your phone and card; only the fastboot oem unlock function does. so you could try locking and unlocking again.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farisallil:
The phone does not boot up correctly and it stays frozen on the logo after rebooting. By mounting the usb storage again after rebooting, I see everything come back. You are right, I should have explained that in details, sorry.

I tried deleting files manually but didn't work.

I feel there is kind of protection on the sdcard! because even when I push files to the sd using adb or fastboot, they stay there as long as I don't reboot the phone. Once I reboot the phone into recovery again, bang, they are gone and only old files are there.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farisallil:
when I try that,

C:\>adb shell
~ # mkfs.vfat /dev/block//vold/179:1
mkfs.vfat /dev/block//vold/179:1
/sbin/sh: mkfs.vfat: not found

any idea?:confused:

I plan on buying my Transformer very soon ( probably today).Should I get the 16 or the 32?

Thanks ahead of time!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
16GB yo, save the $100 and buy a $20 16GB microSD if you need storage for media. 16GB is plenty for app installs, I got tons installed and still a ton available
[Eee Pad Transformer General] degeneration:
If you have a google music account you shouldn't need too much storage. If you don't have an account you should try to get one (or there are other streaming audio apps).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PhoenixFx:
16GB TF + 16GB Micro SD is going to be cheaper. However, I have seen few offers for the 32GB with the keyboard dock where the bundled price is slightly cheaper than buying a 16GB TF + 16GB high speed Micro SD + KB dock separately. Unless you want the bundled KB dock, there is no point in paying extra for the 32GB.

With Temp Root coming soon on the 3d, would titanium backup work in the following situation?

1. Get temp root on your phone

2. install titanium backup.

3. restore data

4. reboot

would the data stay and you lose functionality of titanium backup? or would the data and titanium backup disappear? or something else entirely?
[HTC EVO 3D] No1ustad:
anyone????
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
Yes it will, and by the way temp root is in the building.

[HTC EVO 3D] ftc_osiris:
You lost me.

Why is there no point to the thread?

With Temp Root, will titanium backup work after a reboot or would we have to Temp Root again for Titanium Backup to work on subsequent reboots?
[HTC EVO 3D] NewZJ:
Need to reroot before you can use it, unless you never reboot
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
You will need root to run Titanium Backup, therefor if you do reboot after running the temp root, then you will no longer have root. When you restore you programs while having root, you will still have them when you reboot, but no root, cause you haven't run the root sequence yet. So yes, the programs will stay. I am looking foward to this also, cause there are some files I just didn't backup with Astro.
[HTC EVO 3D] ftc_osiris:
??????

Yes or No. . . .

Each time I want to backup or restore something after a reboot, I will have to re-root, right?
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
When you RESTORE you will have those programs on your phone permanently until you decide to manually uninstall them.

You need root to RUN Titanium Backup, and we do NOT have permanent root yet. So yes, each time you reboot you will have to root again to run Titanium Backup so it will work and you can restore and backup your programs.
[HTC EVO 3D] ftc_osiris:
Thank you for answering a question I did not ASK. :p

I already understood that the backup and restore functions would actually work. (ie if I restored something after getting temp root on a particular boot up, it would stay restored after I rebooted)

However, you did answer my actual question, though after extended pontification on the question I didn't ask. So thank you.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
You should no better!!! Post in the q&a section!
[HTC EVO 3D] No1ustad:
there wouldn't be a point because s-off has been achieved, if i understand correctly, that means we have access to a more permanent type of root, much like unrevoked, etc.
[HTC EVO 3D] ftc_osiris:
S-OFF has not been achieved. (unless it just happened)

Just temp root.
[HTC EVO 3D] No1ustad:
ah. you're right. i misread and thought Fre3dom was already achieved.

Changed over from an epic recently as a test.....

In short, the epic 3G was overall more reliable and useful than the charge's ability to toggle between LTE and 3G. More than half the time, the charge is in 3/4G limbo and the connection status is greyed and idle with NO throughput!!!!

This was my experience on the thunderbolt last month and worse...

This update makes me very happy..and it's only the beta. Once I figure out how to get this FB chat to work, I won't even care about the actual release. All the features I wanted are pretty much here...I'm very easy to please.

I updated my Omnia7 to manga beta, everything works great...except Zune syncing. I got the 4.8 as needed. However, when I try to sync music, it would copy them over rather slow compare to before and would often run into C00D124D error:

and could never sync any music over anymore. Reboot the phone doesn't help either. Anyone got this similar problem?

I keep getting a connection error every time I plug in my phone saying that it couldn't establish a connection to the internet. Anyone else got this and know how to fix it?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brokenflipside:
I had the same problem.

1. If connected, unplug the phone device from the computer.

On the phone device:

2. Press the Windows button.

3. Press the right arrow button (on the top right of the screen) or swipe from right to left to expose the application list

4. Scroll to and select “Settings”.

5. Scroll to and select “Cellular”.

6. Select “Change Network Profile” and wait for this operation to complete (<-- this is a key step; you don't need to actually change it).

7. Press the Back or Windows key to exit the “Settings” menu.

After completing the above steps, follow through with the registration process.

If this doesn't work - Make sure you are using the USB cable that came with your phone, it has been reported that different USB cables work for everything EXCEPT developer unlocking, weird but its out there, specifically I think I read about an LG cable not working for a Samsung.

Finally, roll back to pre-mango, dev unlock it, and then re-upgrade to the beta.

Hope that helps at all!

[HTC EVO 3D] Chommer:
Has anyone else noticed that higher frequencies tend to cause the speaker to distort and/or bottom out? When my alarm goes off, the speaker sounds like it's pretty much blown. However when I play anything else where the frequencies are lower, it does alright.

Is anyone else experiencing this? I changed the volume output of my phone this morning via the thread in the development forum, but I haven't yet had a chance to test it. I'm hoping the speaker just wasn't getting enough power. If it's a case of the speaker just being crappy... I think I might cry.
[General Questions and Answers] XDA-TheMac:
Hello XDA

Im Mac

My dog's name is Mikey

I'm new to the whole android scene , and i was interesting in purchasing a phone.

At the moment i have the choice between

- Motorola Milestone / Brand New

- Htc Hero - T-Mobile G2 Touch / Used 3 Months

- T-Mobile G1 / Used 1 Month

I was wondering , which phone do you guys think will be the best one for me, knowing i will be fooling around with them (rooting and etc)

I like the physical keyboard and having a fast phone. But if the hero is the best out of all three then i can get used to it.

What are there pro's and con's in your eyes.

Help me out abit.

Thanks alot XDA people :D
[General Questions and Answers] FearedSkills:
Well first of all. The Hero and Milestone both have a 5.0 MP camera. The Milestone has a better processor then the Hero which will make a difference after you root the phone. The HTC Dream isn't even worth mentioning in my opinion. Both its RAM and processor are very low, making it slow out of the box. To be 100% honest, I wouldn't go with any of these choices in phones.
[General Questions and Answers] XDA-TheMac:
Well

They are the 3 that are in my price range at the moment.

I can only spend 160 on a phone, so i gotta squeeze every tiny dollar i can into performance on a phone
[General Questions and Answers] DanBroChill:
I gotta be honest man, the 2.0+ updates to android have added a lot of wonderful things, and I'm not sure how well they would run if you root and rom'd them, and if you stuck with the stock firmware, a lot of great things about android won't be available to you....and that is frustrating as hell IMO.

My vote would be the Hero, but I always tell people if you are gonna go android, spend the money for a good, solid, FAST phone, because it can make or break the experience.
[General Questions and Answers] XDA-TheMac:
Thanks Alot

Im gonna go check them out one by one today.

Im really gunna look for the best performance once rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] sageDieu:
Dude if you have $160 to spend then wait a bit and save up to $200 total then get a nice new GOOD phone. Or find one on craigslist or something... if you want to have a good experience you want something with good hardware, as in a 1ghz processor, 512mb ram, etc.. I got my phone that has those specs, a Samsung Mesmerize, for $200 with a 2 year contract. Something like that is your best bet, save up the money for it and you will not be disappointed.

Sent from my CM7 SCH-i500
[General Questions and Answers] XDA-TheMac:
I already have a contract.

I'm using my sim card to insert into another phone
[General Questions and Answers] FearedSkills:
If you go to radioshack, they have the HTC duplicate of the sprints EVO 4G for $30. If I were you, I would get that phone hands down. Also, AT&T are coming out with their own 3D phone here soon to combat with the EVO 3D. Probably could wait for that even.

Hi there

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuu.f:
Haha! This is a rather different request that im used to seeing!

Im sure if you use a file manager such as root explorer. Delete the whole system folder. Then the phone wont boot.

[Acer Iconia A500] silverball.slayer:
My first A500 would not turn on, only worked once. This second one has been working ok, but today it won't boot and just sits with the acer logo on the screen.

I am not sure if applying a screen protector is the cause (moisture), but it was working after I had installed it, but quit shortly after that. Coincidence? I'm not sure, but I don't think best buy is going to like me returning a second one.

Update: I got it to boot by holding the down volume while powering on. It cleared the cache and then froze at the point where it was loading the recovery image. I powered it off and on again and it now works. Strange...

[Acer Iconia A500] scottxray:
I bought two Iconias at costco last weekend...One for me Saturday, and the wifes Sunday.

What I am frustrated with is that today I loaded gps test and found that my tablet I got Saturday would not lock ANY GPS sats. My wifes tablet I got Sunday locks up to 9 sats easily.

So off to Costco I went to return my Tablet. When there I got the last boxed unit they had ( only the display left after mine). Got home , charged it and set it up...downloaded and ran GPS test...only 4 sats , but it actually locks faster than the wifes....Although I don't think it is as accurate a position. A little miffed, but happy that the GPS was at leasat working I decided to check the rest out, only to find that the Micro SD card reader is toast.... It won't read any card I try ( I have 3 1, 2 and 16GB ones that all read correctly in the wifes.) It looks like the card read pickup is damaged as I see some twisted copper lands in the new one where the wifes looks clean in the slot. I was careful inserting the card and I think it was just screwed when I got it. So tomorrow its back to another Costco again, in hopes they are still in stock somewhere in town.

Another problem...both my wife and my first tablet had no micro HDMI cable in the box. The one I got today had one....

the strange thing is there is not one called out in the box package contents.

But then I saw that several others mentioned they received one in their boxes.

I absolutely LOVE the tablet. Just hope I can get one that works on ALL functions, tomorrow morning. Maybe I'll buy two...I can always return the extra if the first works well. And costcos return policy is very accomodating.

but QC must be something of a problem on these .

:(
[Acer Iconia A500] soloxp:
Yeah, This my sec one from costco too. My first one gps took 10 to 15min to lock or sometimes it didn't. The new i got today lock with in sec...but the new one did not have the hmdi cable. So I call them and they said to come get it. I'm pick it up tomorrow.

[Acer Iconia A500] silverball.slayer:
I was comparing the Asus and the Acer GPS functions with google maps at the store today.

- The Asus found the location right away, almost instantly.

- The acer would time out trying to find the location, but eventually it did.

My own A500 usually times out trying to find the location. I tested it a few minutes ago and it took about 20 seconds to work. I then tested with gps essentials and it locked within 3 seconds, finding 9 sattelites.

It's finicky sometimes. I'm going to do more testing before my return window disappears.

Can someone please upload the original rom or Nandroid for WIND STOCK ROM?

Three exclamation points in the title for urgency.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] timeiscoffee:
Hmmm I didn't think of that.

However, I think it might be slim chance that it would work since I rooted it and installed custom recovery (clockwork) on it. I *could* recover the recovery to t-mobile's recovery referenced by TGA_Gunnman but I'm not sure that its equivalent to Wind's...

I'll definitely try LG's recovery tool when I get home, but meanwhile a more definite solution (e.g. Nandoid backup of Wind stock) would be welcome :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xargon321:
even if you have a nandroid backup that will not put the stock recovery back on there but the lg update tool should
