Hey guys, I'm new to XDA, I read the rules and everything but I couldn't fix my problem... I rooted my phone with superoneclick thingy... I had the superuser program.. any way, I was bumped when I found out that SE won't bring 2.2 on X10i so I wanted a new 2.2 ROM so I searched and found a thread I can't remember which one but it downloads a file named XAR.rar. It had 4 steps, on step one I don't know what happened but "THE USB DEBUGGING IS OFF AND THE SYSTEM IS BRICKED".

I start the phone, SE appears followed by a logo "docomo NTT" then the screen is pitch black... for several hours... Can't use flash tool, can't use SEUS... etc.

Please, is there a fix!!?

Thanks for replying,

I tried flashtool and it did recognize it... it started but aborted due to "USB DEBUGGING" being unactivated. And now my phone battery is dead "I think" coz after a day and a half staying awake searching and trying stuff, I forgot it open on the dead screen and fell asleep. I woke up with a new problem... red light appeared. I searched for that and it appears to be "since I didn't do anything" the battery is dead. I put it on charger for like 9 hours and I came back and the light's still there. I don't know if the phone IS charging or not. I don't have another way to re-charge the battery except the charger and USB cable.

I have drivers, I have firmwares, I have flashtools... I just need it to work so I can install ANY android version.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wael hawa:

Great results for me! When I can I connect to Wifi, I do use my phone mostly texting, a few phone calls, and web browsing. I can get 36-48 hrs no problem, settings are tweaked of course.

Also, I usually let my phone drop to around 40 percent then plug it in to charge. Did some reading on these batteries from Battery University(I Think?) and read where it was recommended to charge at that point and it will help prolong the life of your battery. This is also the same reason why phones are shipped with the battery around a 40 % charge.

Hey all!

My epic should be arriving early next week. Very excited to be retiring my samsung transform.

I've been a member sdx's haxsung community for a while and I am not new to the rooting/rom/customization process at all. I've even been toying with my own kernel.

However, the epic will be a new breed to me. So, I turn to you, the awesome xda community for guidance!

What rom/kernel/mod setup works best for you? Why? Awesome battery? Performance?

From reading this forum the past week in length I'm thinking of going with syndicate rom with the genoicide 1.4 ghz oc kernel.

Any dragons lay ahead?

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance to the community, and to the devs. Look forward to working with you all very very soon (once this friggin phone gets to nj from texas)

I swear by the Genocide kernel and anything put out by Rodderik. He's had many "firsts" around here including overclocked Froyo kernel, dynamic overclocking and most recently put out the 1st (and only to my knowledge) dual boot capable kernel. Some of the other kernels floating around were forked from his earlier code too if memory serves...

As far as ROMs go there are several good ones, but I use my own creation so I really can't comment on any in particular.

I'm running this same setup as well and have been pleased with it. This is my first ROM and haven't found a reason to change.

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the sense 2.1 lockscreen and htc apps on aosp rom? I guess my question is how would i go about editing an aosp rom to use sense as its default launcher and the htc keyboard/music/and messaging apps. If anyone has any idea id love to hear it. Basically i only flashed the sensible salsa because i wanted the lockscreen and apps and then i just used adw ex over it as the sense launcher sometimes bores me. But i miss the speed of aospCmod/ginger_Deck. How would i go about getting the best of both worlds?

Search has been down all day, so sorry if this is addressed somewhere else...

After the 3.1 update, MoboPlayer doesn't play anything for me and just force closes. Thankfully, RockPlayer still works. Anyone else encountering this?

I'm using the stock 3.1 OTA, but I am rooted. Everything else seems to be working fine so far.
[Acer Iconia A500] San Pedro:
I'm having problems with mobo being slow, and playing files then after sometime saying hardware decode isn't available, and refusing to play the same code until reboot, but this seems to be with stock layer too. I will try rockplayer tonight... on the plus side mkvs can play with hardware decode, but still no sound unless software decode.
[Acer Iconia A500] connectsys:
Yea moboplayer worked great on my 3.0.1 but since I installed 3.1 its crashing etc

I'm using vplayer now which seems to work fine
[Acer Iconia A500] thiazzi:
Have you guys tried a reboot? A couple of my programs (including my go-to, JJcomics) were being force closey after the OTA, but a restart sorted them out.
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
I uninstalled and reinstalled, and I reboot my A500 at least daily (after shutting it off for the night). I can now get further and actually play a video, but it's nowhere near as smooth of an experience as it used to be. When I change the settings back to what they used to be before the reinstall, it just immediately force-closes again.

I notified the developer and will report back if/when they reply.
[Acer Iconia A500] chrisvane:
Have any of you guys tried just using the stock android video player app? I can now play xvid avi files using either the Gallery app or by launching the video player from within ES File Explorer thus negating the need to use mobo player or whatever (which does seem to run like crap since the 3.1 update) ? I'm fairly certain this did not work previously. However i may be wrong.....
[Acer Iconia A500] vanisleguy1976:
Strange... My Moboplayer is working just fine, and in fact seems more stable than before the update to 3.1

[Acer Iconia A500] threedfreek:
My mobo had the same types of issues... I rebooted and it was better... then I resorted to clearing data for the program and it's at least better... I will say that some files don't play and one I have will lock it up now and go black... can't blame mobo on this one but I'm sure that it'll have to mobo to fix it as long as updates take from acer =P)

edit: uninstalled mobo and the codec, tried divx, wmv, mpg, mp4, 3gp... and all of them fc'd the gallery. I forced closed the gallery and cleared the data now everyone of the file types I try works perfectly.

edit: on further review I loaded a divx and watched it for awhile shut it down and when I went to view it again it asked if I wanted to start at where I left off... yes... gallery fc'd on me... tried the whole proccess again after force closing and it would start the file and when resuming the gallery locks up again. I need to mention that I'm plugging my fat32 formatted wd 1tb drive (usb 2/3) drive (which btw, takes forever to load and if the screen sleeps the drive shuts down and has to reload (70+ seconds) again... not a great experience thus far... back to moboplayer.
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
I'm on Acer_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2.

I think it has a lot to do with what you're trying to play. I'm trying to play Divx/Xvid, which Mobo used to play great but not anymore. Now, suspiciously, the stock player didn't used to be able to play these, but now it does.

I think that points to a codec issue.

Anyone know what codec set I should download for the A500 from the Mobo site? I was never offered one during the initial or re-install, but I suspect I now need one since it doesn't like what it's getting from the stock 3.1 rom.

The only problem with the stock player is subs and not the greatest UI for automatically finding movies on the external SD or USB drives.
[Acer Iconia A500] rquinn19:
IMHO the stock player should be used for everything that it can actually play and use Moboplayer only in soft-decoding mode because its necessary. Better on your battery too.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idahonld:
[I would've posted this in the Development section. But I'm not 'qualified' to post there due to my low post number -- I'm still a noob on this site]

I've been the proud owner of a TB for almost 2 months now. Been holding off on rooting, mostly out of fear of bricking the thing. I 'rooted' an old WinMO6.5 device about a year and a half ago. But the process for rooting TB is significantly more involved than my last one. However, I'm also frothing at the mouth after seeing all of the various ROMs out there, not to mention being able to be rid of all the crapware.. So...3 quick questions.

1) I've installed SDK on my home PC (Windows XP). But, when I extracted the .zip file, I extracted it to: C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk. Only after the fact did I see in the instructions that I should have extracted to: C:\AndroidSDK

Does this difference really matter? As long as I drive to the correct directory on my PC when I start to run ADB, will its current location work ok? Or do I need to uninstall/reinstall?

2) There are a couple of places in the root process where you need to stop and verify an output alphanumeric matches what it should be. If the alphanumeric DOES NOT match, can I simply unplug the phone at that point and stop the root process? Or is it a situation where once I've started, I'm committed?

3) Finally, once I'm rooted, does it matter if choose a 2.2 (Froyo) or 2.3 (GB) ROM? My stock phone is running 2.2.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootandBoot:
1. Yes, just run the commands from the dir you installed them.

2. If the md5's don't match then just redownload the file. Personally I have never had an md5 not match, however I do check them. Everytime.

3. Nope, run what you think you will like. The GB roms require the GB radios. You can find everything you need in the roms and kernel list. Its a sticky in the dev section.

I'm running BAMF sense 3.0 rc4. It uses the mr2 radio. Good luck with it and welcome aboard.

sent from my BAMF'n thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nucher:
In relation to your second question, the alphanumeric matches you're asking about are called an MD5 check sum. It checks a files integrity, like a finger print. As long as the characters match the file is intact and you know it is safe to flash. If the characters don't match then you will download it again and replace the original file you downloaded. Then run the MD 5 check sum again to make sure its all there (characters match). I have never had a MD5 not match, so its uncommon. If you were to flash an incomplete file it most likely would brick your phone.

I would recommend a 2.3 ROM. Part of what makes rooting and nand unlocking (S off) so valuable is the ability to run the latest operating system. I would suggest you try Cyanogen once you're comfortable flashing ROMS.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idahonld:
Thanks for the prompt replies. This helps a lot.

I've got the 3 files downloaded to my PC for the root, and they all are good w.r.t. MD5 checksum. So I think I'm good to go/root.

One more noob question. And I could probably find the answer to this by searching around, but as long as I have your attention...you say that the GB roms require the GB radios. Do most/all of the GB roms already have the GB radios built into them? Or is this something totally separate?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
radios are separate. For GB, you need MR2 or MR2.5 radios. They are in the dev section as well. Flash the radio before you flash the GB ROM or you will not have any cell signal.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wreckybarr:
Also be aware that when you start the rooting process, you need to use the USB connections at the back of your computer. ADB only recognizes the main USB ports. Good luck with your rooting!

Alright,

After I bricked my first HTC G2, I have decided to get another one. I was the lucky one which HTC replaced without any questions. My first phone got bricked because it had errors in the recovery. (this is what happened). OK NOW, I am getting ready to root my second G2 cause I am tired of the stock (really want the MIUI!)

I have a coupe of questions:

1. What are the necessary steps that I need to take so that my SECOND G2 wont go down like my first one?

2. What is Eng boot?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
First of all, visionary is a risky way to root your phone. The safest, though more intimidating way is using gfree and adb, as found on the cyanogenmod wiki (if someone would be kind enough to link him).

1. Read the steps. Read them again. And again. Be able to recite them in your sleep.

2. The engineering hboot (I believe) will allow you to possibly save your g2 if something goes wrong when flashing a rom. Though again there is a guarantee of bricking if this is done wrong. If you plan on just flashing miui and staying, this MAY not be necessary. But it is entirely up to you.
