[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kandinsky1:
If I break forum etiquette in some way please excuse the lapse - this is my first post to any forum. Honestly, it's a bit intimidating but I'm more than a little desperate right now. Near panic would be a better description of my state.

My Droid Incredible is stuck in a continuous boot loop. 24-48 hours after downloading a sleep sound generating app (if this is relevant), I was trying to use a different app and a pop-up stated "internal error" and would not load the app. I tried another and same result. I tried to kill all running apps with advanced app killer and same result. I turned off the phone thinking that it would correct when turning it back on but no luck. Now it just power cycles in a continuous boot loop. There has been no solution through tech support or a store visit. I don't care about the phone. At this point I would like to strap it to a steak and throw it in a lion cage. I do care about the data its holding - none of which is backed up in any way. There is no sd card and no back-up in my gmail account. I need to try and rescue the following data: voice memos from the HTC app, notes from the 3bannana (catch notes) app, photos, videos, apps, bookmarks from the dolphin HD browser and the Android browser, pdf downloads, text messages, call log settings, etc.

I have tried to boot the phone with a sd card installed. I have tried to view the data from a Celebrite machine at the Verizon store - it sees the drive but not the data. I tried to get into a "safe mode" menu by depressing down volume+center click+menu. Nothing has worked.

Is there any desktop software (or any other solution) that would enable me to restore (rescue) the data from the phone while it is in this state?

If there isn't, please just make something up so I can continue for a while in a delusional state of hope and get over this gradually.

Thank you for your wisdom and mercy.

If you have a custom recovery image and the partitions aren't corrupt you should be able to recover everything with adb.

If you don't have a custom recovery then it might be impossible to recover anything.

Have you rooted the phone and installed a custom recovery?

With respect to backups - GMail for example is stored in the cloud - so the data on your phone is just a clone - you won't loose your mail - other apps I don't know, you'll have to check each.

If you can't get stable adb access you will need to research a factory reset for your phone which should fix it (but will wipe your data).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kandinsky1:
Unfortunately, I have not rooted my droid, have no custom recovery image and don't even know what adb is. As you can tell, I am a complete novice - but a novice in serious trouble if I can't recover the data. When you say stable adb access, what do you mean?

I was hoping to find some type of desktop recovery software that may be able to recognize the drive on the phone and then view and copy the data. Is it possible that this might exist. By the way is there a more appropriate sub-forum to place this post?

Thanks for your help,

Caleb

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dacoco:
Hi,

just a short question. I'm in contact with HTC about some htcsense.com problems and they wanted to know my IMEI and what ROM i use.

Just to be sure about warranty - is it possible to flash the original htc gingerbread ROM via CWM? And where do i get it?

Or is it necessary to flash a whole RUU? Do i need to do root and S-OFF again?

Thanks

Regards

Daniel
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitr00:
I don't think thats possible. Search forum on how to unroot your device before sending in for warranty repairs if I were you.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dacoco:
No i don't need to send it to them but as they wanted to know which rom i use i wonder if they can read the rom info via htcsense.com synchronisation.

And as this means to loose warranty i would like to hide the usage of a custom rom.

Is it possible to change the infos shown in Settings -> Info -> Phone Info?

Where is this stored? Can it just be edited?

Thanks!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord_Schrotty:
just flash the ruu. for warranty you're phone should not be rootet or have s-off.

next time post your question in the q&a forum ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dacoco:
Okay thanks, and then i have to do all the procedures again to get ENG S-OFF, CWM and so on... :/
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Falkner09:
id like to freeze It since it always seems to be on and running at leasttwo processes, despite it never being used, at all. im just wondering if thats safe at all, especially since media scanner seems to be a part of it. Is that important at all? I dont remeber it being on my old lg Ally.

I already froze drive smart and media hub due to their constantky being running despite literally never being used. I think ive been having some glitches due to drive smart being frozen though.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dripz167:
Doesn't hurt to try. Give it a whirl and post your findings.

I doubt it'll do any real damage.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] 304alias304:
NO! Do not do this. Tried it out of curiosity and now my phone just keeps vibrating and blank screen after the boot animation.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
What else did you freeze?

Freezing Media Room hasn't caused me any issues whatsoever.

Leave the media storage service alone.. just freeze the Media Room app.

I suggest replacing the Media Room with PowerAmp and Vplayer.. then freeze it and forget about it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] drwario:
Yeah dude I froze some stuff on my phone last night while I was drunk. Same issue boots and black screen with alot of vibration. How can I unfreeze apps in adb. I detect adb in recovery not when rom is booted.

I am trying to repair my Acer Iconia that has no Wifi Working.

I managed to install the Rom Manager, but I still have to install the ROM manager, but I can't find what is the correct one from the ClockWorkMod site

Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks a lot!
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
You need the specially modified CWM that's posted in the dev section. Any other version will NOT work and WILL brick your tablet if you try it.

Don't use ROM Manager, it's not compatible with A500 ROM flashing for now.
[Acer Iconia A500] nerdmore:
I managed to get that working now. I wasnt aware that the ROM Manager wouldn't work, tough. Thanks for the heads up!
[HTC EVO 3D] budroux:
Ok I think I just went crazy or something. I had been messing around with my phone a bit, kinda just looking around the house in 3D for about 15 minutes or so. I put the phone up and went to my back yard when all of a sudden I noticed my whole yard was in 3D...LOL!!! I know it is real life 3D but I was in focus like I was looking at my phone.

It only lasted a minute or two but believe me it was there. Kinda strange and I did re-focus back to normal vision but it spooked me for a sec...:eek: I guess my question would be is this a good thing or bad thing. I mean it is giving the eyes some exercise but I think maybe it should be used in moderation? I know we are all different and my eyes are lets say really older than most but I was just curious if anybody else has had this happen. Kinda funny when it does...
[HTC EVO 3D] nebenezer:
ok first things first,, put the bong down, then go make a sandwich.

haha, j/k (or am I?)

I'll volunteer to be a test subject and take a tour of the house tomorrow watching my phones display. Will report back.. :p

Ok that was about as funny as it gets...good one. For the record I was straight. At least I think I was because it kinda felt like a buzz...LOL!!!

WHAT!! i thought is was just me!!

j/k
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
I think that the way the parralax display works is like the old 3D pictures. You have to unfocus your eyes just enough to see the hidden image. Looking at it long enough make cause the eyes focus to stay that way temporarily. It is cool, and you have to focus closely to see the 3D well.
[HTC EVO 3D] toxicfumes22:
I HATE guitar hero, but I played it and after a while the walls move as well as anything you look at. I believe his eyes gave him that affect until they refocused.

Hi, my names Sean, and I've been drug free for over 5 years now and enjoying life. I'm so happy I was able to find the way to TRUE happiness. I want to thank you all for the support and I offer my support as well. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] budroux:
Hey Sean good to here from ya. Drug free here also and proud of it...Life is a good natural high for me now. I guess my eyes are kinda old and the transformation between the 3D and normal kinda took it's time getting there. I must admit I got spooked for a second...then hey this is cool...then hey it's gone...LOL!!!

[HTC EVO 3D] hupo224:
It's the way your eyes are focusing. I get the effect too. Not noticeable unless I'm really concentrating on it.
[HTC EVO 3D] jiminitaur:
I've noticed this effect after looking at a lot of 3d pictures while I was tired. It went away after I slept it off. I suspect the eyes either get tired of moving and sort of stick in their focus, or the tired mind can't bypass hard line recognition because after its been flooded with the sharp depth delineations from the phones 3d screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] budroux:
Geez I almost went 3d reading that...LOL!!! Pretty deep stuff.
[HTC EVO 3D] jason62082:
This happened to me too! My wife thinks I'm crazy, but I know what the OP is saying. I think your brain just starts thinking about depth more than it normally does. It's like my 3D elevated my brain to another level...

[LG Optimus 2x] NinJa9000:
Something goes wrong when the phone mounts the internal SD card. It is possible to modify the vold file in /system/etc to get it to function, but I couldn´t. :-) I think your local Linux shark could. :-)

I bought an external SD card to solve the problem. When you are using an external SD card, your PC i able to recognize both the internal and the external.

Keep in mind that the internal storage is mounted as /mnt/emmc :)

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
yes, for .ttf...but sizes matter, some fonts are big and dont look good on g3...

one tip: dont try to go too fancy...it looks good, but not recommended for daily usage :)

Edit: Also check for TR versions of fonts...like TR Comic Sans MS.ttf and similar...they contain support for all languages..the normal ones dont support all languages... :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] brigo:
Ok and Indroid pack support all langages ? :D

[EVO 4G General] potna:
i have been so busy using and enjoying my evo that i dont have to come around to xda much these days but i have come to say something that maybe most of you already knew.

short version: i damaged my usb port on my evo and it sometimes would not charge and sprint is giving me a new phone for free.

this is not going to cost me a dime, the tech said it was a known issue and he ordered me a new phone and said it should be in a few days.

he said if there wasn't a known issue i would have had to pay $35 for a new phone. i thought i had a $50 dollar deductible, then they upped it to 100, not down to $35, but i guess i will take free.

i dont undersstand all the warranty options but i guess this time i didnt have too, being that they are going to swap it out for me for free.

i am rooted and running cm7, i flashed back to a stock nanadroid back up before i walked in. is there anyway that this rooting business can back fire on me?

on a side note, can anyone think of anyway to turn this new evo into a 3d phone?
[EVO 4G General] Bslydem:
If you didn't run s-on tool they will know your phone was rooted, but no big deal its not software related issues. Just so you know you just lost root, warranty phones come preloaded with 2.3.3 (same thing happened to me now im waiting for root). And your phone will be a refurbished one unless you are still in the first 30 days. As for the cost usb port failure is considered a manufacturers defect and that's why it's free. 35 dollars are for repairs that are your fault but not severe. 100 applies to loss or theft or severe damage.
[EVO 4G General] potna:
darn it, i didnt know about the root issue!

thanks for the bad news lol
[EVO 4G General] nhutpham:
I recently had the usb port break, and traded in for a 3d. Guess I probably could have held on and waited for the galaxy s ii, but I didn't think they would cover my phone as I had it for just over a year, and traded in. Probably could have made more money selling my 4g on cl too.
[LG Optimus 2x] SaPires:
Hello everybody, I think I screwed up, but CyanogenMod installed immediately after restart and then nothing worked: he is always in flight mode, I can not connect wireless or bluetooth disappeared and even the IMEI, on the menu CyanogenMod i restore the settings already manufactures but still same.

Thank you.
[LG Optimus 2x] torespen:
Seems like You did something to the baseband/RIL

Or... do you have the p990 O2X or the p999 G2X?

the ROMS are NOT same for the 2 phones...
[LG Optimus 2x] SaPires:
thanks for the fast response, but whow i know if are one or other?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
You can't install P999 CM on the P990, it has an assert check to prevent it. Look for a stock ROM thread in the dev section, this will get you back to stock, although I don't know if it'll get your IMEI back.
[LG Optimus 2x] Dac0908:
You don't know which phone you bought? :confused: G2x is T-mobile branded, has T-mobile logo above screeen instead of LG's

Don't worry, it's easy to reflash everything, just need to download right tools and follow a guide
[LG Optimus 2x] SaPires:
ok, so i have the p990 O2X, what i do now?
[LG Optimus 2x] sierra77:

(In the end it turned out I did not have to go back to stock ROM. I re-installed CM7 after wiping data/cache in recovery and that worked).

Im not sure if the smartflash tool will give your IMEI back...
[LG Optimus 2x] SaPires:

[EVO 4G General] potna:
i have been looking around at ways to boost or extend the range of my cell phone. in the past my phones had what i assumed to be a external antenna connector on the back of the phone but i dont see this on the evo.

also i have seen these devices that you can mount in your car and acts as a repeater and/ or a booster for your phone, does anyone have any experience with such things.

i may be willing to pay a couple hundred for such a solution and it needs to be mobile.

any ideas?
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
This calls for the antenna booster stickers!!!!

There isn't really anything worth spending your money on. Your reception will only be as good as the coverage surrounding it. Best you could do is an airwave for home use or complain to sprint where you are getting poor service.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
It's underneath the battery cover. I'm actually pretty sure you would have to file off a millimeter or so of plastic under the battery cover to get to it.

Never seen one of those, but I'm guessing it doesn't work.

The only thing you can do is call sprint, complain you are getting bad service at home, and tell them you will cancel if they don't give you an Airave. They should then send you one for free.
[EVO 4G General] VENOMENON_24:
Yup. I told Sprint I didn't want to be one of their reckless roamers and I have no reception at home. Then I told them that there it's no point in me having sprint if I don't get reception. The guy on the phone was SUPER COOL and told me he would hate that because my phone bill is his paycheck (understanding the value of a customer) and they have me an airrave for free. The only issue I have with it is that it will not make a sound if someone else calls you while you're on the phone (call waiting) if you are on a custom rom. I can deal with that though. Other than that, I love it and love sprint for taking care of me.

Probably Gingerbread 2.3.4 XXKPH with some tweaks is good enough. But you can try Coderom, which is the best ROM in my opinion. Also check out VillainROM. Better try it yourself ;)

As writes fla.sh, XXKPH (2.3.4) with tweaks is my choice. At this moment can't tell you which rom is best, so try more roms and choose one which suits for you. :)

[HTC Sensation] sly5789:
Not sure if anyone notice but if you are taking videos in a dark room or at night there is what appears to be a dead pixel (green dot) just above the center of the phone. However this might be a software issue because I do not see this dead pixel while taking pictures in a dark room in camera mode. But in video mode especially when the settings is at full HD 1080p you can see it clearly. If you set video settings to 960 by 540 then it is less noticeable but still there. Since it doesn't show up on camera mode I believe it could be a software issue. Could someone else try testing to see if they are having this problem also or is it just me. Just go into a dark room or place your hands over the lens and switch to video mode and set it to full 1080p. When you record in the dark you should see the dead pixel during playback. If I'm the only one then I probably need to get a new phone.
