If you can get into hboot you're not bricked. It sounds like you have a PG5... file still on your sd card. Take it out of the phone and load into your computer to delete that file. Put the card back in and you should now be able to select recovery in the hboot menu.
[Thunderbolt General] bthomp21:
last i checked, a brick just sat there. so if your phone does more than set there, no it's not. it can probably be fixed. good luck.

power down your phone, take out your sd card and insert it into a computer. delete the pg#### file from the root of your sdcard. insert card in to phone, power back up.
[Thunderbolt General] twizzler703:
try taking out your SD card and connecting it to computer, rename the PG05img to something else. then you should be able to hboot and get into recovery
[Thunderbolt General] muckymuck:
Awesome. I'll go buy a card reader and see what I can do. I will post back in a bit.

Thanks to everyone so far.

Oops nevermind.

How would he choose disk drive? He cant unlock the phone.
[Thunderbolt General] blueis300:
uhh oh **** guess ill edit my stupidity post lol
[Thunderbolt General] filkbomb:
After your able to get back into recovery. Try to run logcat from adb and see where it errors out after you reboot. If you can determine the broken app, you can uninstall it from adb. If not just reinstall the Rom from recovery. If all fails wipe and install clean. Good luck
[Thunderbolt General] RootandBoot:
Hopefully he made a recent backup and can just restore that.
[Thunderbolt General] muckymuck:
Thanks everyone. All is well now. I renamed PG05IMG and went from there as suggested. I went ahead and installed BAMF Sense 3 instead of going back to Gingervitis.

I had not backed up... oops. No worries though, but I will do it now.

Thanks again
[Thunderbolt General] RootandBoot:
Good deal.
[Thunderbolt General] CharliesTheMan:
One more "Oh noooo... Wait really? WHEW!!!! It's not bricked afterall." save on XDA.

They saved me once too. Glad you're up and running. Patience is key and so many people around here seem to be so quick to send the phone back, blame the developer and post how the rom bricked their phone, then start a thread about "Rumor Verizon is tracing all phones that spontaneously combusted to rooting. Am I getting Busted?"

Again, nice job on the save ;)

Rooted Thunderbolt on BAMF Sense 3.0 RC 4 with MR2 radio and latest dreamKernel.
[EVO 4G General] Bfitz26:
so ij am wondering about battery life it really sucks balls i can't get this phone to last over 4 hours on a full charge i have a advanced taskiller juice defender is there something i can do to resolve this or will the battery ext really help this out tremendously another question swype i can't get it to work on my evo anyone have a idea why i don't really see the imput method to enter swype either.
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
Get rid of ATK and Juice Defender. They do more bad than good.

Is your phone rooted? and have you "conditioned" you battery yet? What do you do with your phone? These things could help us help you.

I am rooted with MikG ROM and I conditioned my battery. I get at least 15 hours out of mine and that is with streaming Pandora for at least 6 of those hours.

As for your Swype issue, make sure it is installed. It comes standard with Sense and any of the Evo updates.

EDIT: I was looking for the post I followed to condition my battery.

This helped my battery life a great deal.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Four hours?! You've gotta have all your radios on and be doing a lot of something for it to go down that fast. Root that action, get a good kernel and do some CPU scaling and maybe some undervolting.
[EVO 4G General] eric c:
I agree with CDKJudoka, get rid of task killer. Although, Juice Defender doesn't seem to be a battery drain. If you're not using Bluetooth turn off, big drain. Also you must check any email accounts you may have set up. Goto settings and check how frequent they are sync'ing. Same goes for FaceBook and other similar apps. 4G is a battery drain, especially if signal is weak or toggling between 3G. If you're not rooted, you may want to consider it. After rooting mine, battery life has drastically improved (depending on ROM). I'm also running MikG ROM, which works great for me. I used to have the Seidio 3500 battery to last the day. Now the stock one does the same.

As far as Swype, goto menu/settings/language & keyboard, select Swype and tap Swype settings, then choose tutorial. At this point it should let you choose input method. Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G General] MileHighClubAV8R:
Well here's how good the Evo 4G battery life can be:

I recently upgraded to the Evo 3D and left my Evo 4G laying on my bedside table using it to check email and as a backup alarm clock. GRANTED it doesn't have service and everything is underclocked and my battery is an extended battery.. BUT I picked it up about an hour ago. 7 days 13 hours on battery with no charging... and still 8 percent left on my battery which will probably make it until mid-day tomorrow. Under normal use I was getting 3-4 days on a charge.

CM7 and Tiamat kernel.
[EVO 4G General] tlxxxsracer:
If you arent rooted here is what you can do:

1) turn off wifi, data, gps, bluetooth when not in use. (I also turn off the wireless networks location service)

2) turn off haptic feedback and vibrations on keyboard.

3) turn off automatic syncing

--Increase the time email, facebook, gmail, twitter, etc. refreshes data. Instead of every 30minutes, make it 2hrs. I turn auto refresh off because I update every time I go into the app anyways.

4) If youre running gingerbread- turn off google backup (under backup data)

5) turn off any animations in the system.

Now if your evo is rooted here is what you can do:

1) download setcpu and underclock the cpu and set up profiles for when the screen turns off that the cpu downclocks low.

2) user vipermod's undervolting script to make the cpu run at lower voltages.

3) use CM7 or MIUI for your custom ROM. (Someone please suggest a sense/gingerbread rom that has good battery life)- A good kernal with one of these is Thiamat or Saveged-zen
[EVO 4G General] Bfitz26:
@ CDKJudoka i am going to give it a shot hope this works as for the rest of you guys thanks for the help the awnser is yes i am rooted and i am running android 2.3.4 kernal version i am usiong is 2.6.37.6 _cynogenmod 01504 rom is gingerbread-evo-deck 1.2 buld is grj22 i noticed my battery is a little better with this rom not a whole lot better maybe it is because i am running a stock rom everything is off as far a underclocking i will do it if i have to however i believe i should not have to underclock it for it to get through the day just a opinioni wonder if i can take my phone to sprint and have them look at phone and see if there is some battery issues is there a way that they can do that even though i am rooted. i am not sure if i can reverse it cause doing all this on linux can be a bit of a issue? thanks everyone for the quick response i will try battery conditioning tonight
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
Not a problem dude. I don't have my phone underclocked at all and I am using the newest stock ROM. Over the past three days I have charged my phone overnight once, and I am still going strong. You will notice the battery drop very quickly after removing it from the charger. Mine drops from 100% to 89% in about 30 mins, but it holds at 89% for a good 2 hours before it drops again. That is while streaming Pandora and downloading a 260mb ROM over WiFi.

I will just let you know now that if you bring a rooted phone into Sprint for service because of battery issues, they may try to blame the root and the custom ROM for it. Try to do the steps that are outlined by the other posters and the HTC double battery thread. It may just save you a trip to the Repair Centre.
[EVO 4G General] tlxxxsracer:
I took my phone into a sprint store for them to check the battery. They ran a test on a machine. The guy said it passed but said "I noticed youre running a custom ROM, so it may be that."

But I've realized I get bad signal where I work during the day and somtimes roam while in the building. On weekends im able to go easily 10hrs and only be at 75% (stock battery).

You may also want to check to see if you have any rogue apps running in the background that eat up cpu usage or data ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] 2kmy477:
I got my EVO 3D a few days ago, I noticed that my evo 3d will shut itself off everytime when the battery down to 5%, does this also happen to your guys? just curious.
[HTC EVO 3D] Night·Fire:
Yes, this happens to me too. It wont turn back on until it charges for a few minutes.
[HTC EVO 3D] krazykeith64:
evo 3d...go to menu,settings,power...there u can set what % u want to ur phone to shut down when battery gets low...set mine to 25%,when it gets there it givves me a warning and shuts everything down to save power for emergency phone calls.

hope this helps
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] antnyh:
I have read for days how to connect to a PEAP network and cannot get it to work. I have modified all kind of settings from the WiFi Advanced Configuration Editor app to no avail. Double checked all usernames and passwords. Nothing seems to work. Basically the tablet finds the hidden network, says it is connecting then it just sits on connecting or it bounces between that and remembered. Any ideas? Anyone with the same issues? Please advise.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Hey everyone. I just wanted to follow up with the several questions about using your G2x phone as a PC. Pretty simple really. Here are the required items (obviously)

G2x!
CM7 (tested on #70 but most should work)
Bluetooth Keyboard
Bluetooth Mouse
Micro HDMI Cable
Root Explorer

I am using a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 v1.0 and a Mini Bluetooth Keyboard I bought off ebay for $7.

Go into [Settings>Wireless Settings>Bluetooth Settings] Turn on Bluetooth and Pair your devices according to their instructions. My Mouse paired using the passkey "0000" and my keyboard gave me fits and forced me to read the directions. It required you type in a passcode into Bluetooth Settings popup box, THEN enter the SAME password on the KEYBOARD + ENTER.

Anyway, after you pair up, both devices will say "Paired, but not connected". So tap on each one until they both connect. You should get a MOUSE CURSOR once the mouse connects.

Mouse Controls:
Left Click = Normal Select
Right Click = Back (Handy!)
Wheel Click = Menu (Genius)
Scroll Wheel = Scroll

You can also click and drag using the mouse.

The keyboard works as a normal keyboard. Mine has all kinds of FN key functions. Mine also lacks dedicated arrow buttons so I have to press FN+ to get to my Arrow Keys which these scroll in the OS.

At this point you could plug the phone into a HDMI Television or Monitor and use the mouse and keyboard to navigate around. Everything is kinda HUGE but works.

To fix the HUGE problem we need to edit the [u]/system/build.prop[/u] file and adjust the screen density. So use Root Explorer and go to "system" and tap on the "Mount R/W" button at the top. This enables Read/Write so we can save our changes. Next press and hold on the "build.prop" file and select "Open in Text Editor" from the pop up window.

Now viewing the contents of "build.prop" lets be very careful we don't change anything accept what we need. This could cause problems forcing you to reload the OS.

Scroll down several lines until you see [b]ro.sf.lcd_density=240[/b]. This is the only thing we want to change. Set this according to your preferences. "180" seems good. Others use "190".

Make your changes and hit the back button. Select the option to SAVE and exit. Now restart your phone.

Now everything appears smaller. Sync up your devices and have yourself an instant PC!

[UPDATE]
After a while the mouse really feels good. I can really scoot around with this setup. The G2x powerhouse keeps on chugging too. Also the stock apps don't really show off the larger screen. Probably need some tablet aware apps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrharvey:
This is pretty cool but would you mind posting some pics of your setup. Id like to see what it looks like using the phone on a monitor.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Ha it looks like CM7 in landscape mode and bigger. 240 is too cramped this mode. Changing the density is a big help.

I don't have a decent camera other my phone but I have a camcorder that I could make a video to upload.

The mouse and keyboard work really well. I just need some better apps to show it off but this is mostly just a test for others since I had the Bluetooth equipment.

It would be perfect if you could change the density on the fly without a reboot or an app that would do it automatically when it detects the HDMI cable.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] briandresstoyota:
hey everyone. i got this to work this weekend as well. I used a logitech IPAD bt keyboard and an apple magic mouse. also paired with the apple bt keyboard in the store but they were out so i didnt grab one. for lcd density i just use the lcd density changer app in the market. works for me. I would not reccomend the apple magic mouse. while it is super smooth and great at navigating, there is no wheel so you loose out on the option to bring up the menu. having to reach and touch the menu button on the phone is a drag. also, the logitech keyboard was mapped for ipad. had the square ipad menu button, but that didnt work to bring me to my home screen or bring up my menu. so definitely if you are doing this make sure the keyboard you choose has buttons mapped to specific functions, i.e. "home" dont want to be in a browser and have to click back 30 times to get to your home screen. just my two sense. as far as HDMI out, my display's margins were cut off a bit which was kinda annoying. and everything looked a bit pixelated even with the LCD density switch although after the switch you will find much more home screen real estate which is bomb. well, let me know your thoughts on the hdmi margin cut. would love to get it super clear.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] briandresstoyota:
What is up with this linux stuff?! I actually just started running ubuntu on my netbook. Would love to do that on my android when im home just for the simple fact that it is more powerful than my asus aspire one from three years ago lol.

Is there a way to put custom icons on the lockscreen instead of the default circle icons?
[Thunderbolt General] jessel0001:
Yes, what you are looking for is in the themes and apps section.
[Thunderbolt General] CC268:
No just wanting to put this frozen icon pack onto the lockscreen but I can't seem to figure out how
[Thunderbolt General] jessel0001:
My mistake... I thought you meant the unlock ring. I have not heard of anyone doing that yet. I imagine you would have to edit the framework.res and change the icons completely.

Try a search for fastboot oem and read up on re-enabling the SD card (something about a misc parition) and USB brick as well. If you follow instructions on the USB brick threads you should be good to go.

Hi there.

Yesterday I Chevronunlocked my HTC 7 Mozart (T-Mobile branded).

I used this xap to prevent it from re-locking, then updated to NoDo (7.0.7392)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1009974

After that my WP7 was still unlocked - so far so good. Today I noticed that I can not use any Twitter app on my phone anymore. All - including the official twitter app (rowi, motweet, beeez, birdsong etc.) tell me they can't authenticate. I retried multiple times with my username and email address, all to no avail. I made sure my password is correct, and I can sign in fine on the Twitter website (regular site from my PC and mobile site from my WP7).

Does anyone know what might be wrong? Or how I can fix it (without re-formating my phone)?

thanks in advance

Localhorst86
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Birdsong & Rowi have both been updated through the marketplace to fix this issue, Beezz won't work anymore unless its updated, and not sure if the official app got updated... Twitter changed its permission settings last week which broke a lot of third party apps, they all need to have a method to reauthenticate now
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Actually, the only thing that was changed is Direct Messages. So if an app wasn't updated to support the new Direct Messages API, it would no longer be able to access DMs, but everything else is still the same as always and should continue to work as normal. Both rowi and Birdsong were updated to access DMs with the updated API.

I don't even see any development or updates from Beezz at all, so I completely ignore its existence.

If none of your Twitter apps are working, there could be something wrong with your setup of your phone or your installation of Windows Phone 7 is broken. Which means you may have to hard reset.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Localhorst86:
Thanks for the replies.

Yeah, I feared that a hard reset is the only way... so i'll just unbrand it while I am at it, a hard reset will relock the device, wont it? So I have to fully reflash anyways.

Thanks again, even though I have some work to do now :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Not true, Rowi had many more issues pop up due to the dm permission change... I'm not sure why, but they made it clear on their twitter... I use the app, my live tile even stopped behaving properly, it wouldn't reset, just kept adding to the previous number until I got that update

No. Baseband radio has absolutely nothing in common with FM radio.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] theclaw37:
Are you sure though? In windows mobile, the rillphone and radio drivers managed the whole radio services (including the fm receiver). May it be true to android too?

Yes, once again, has NOTHING to do with baseband. Go search elsewhere.

One last question before i consider it as broken :

Is there another app than "Radio" to try the FM radio ?
