[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] black.v00d00:
Okay what I've found is that this has nothing to do with Launcher Pro. I downloaded He Launcher and when I reboot my phone everytime it asks me to pick a default launcher. And when I'm using He Launcher, none of the apps on my SD card show up in the app drawer (they don't show up in the default ROM launcher either, they only show up in launcher pro)

Syndicate 1.2

Genocide 2

This has happened twice now. Turn the phone on, it boots, plays my boot animation (helix) and then sits at the end of the animation, and never starts up. It gets really hot, cpu not battery.

Tried fixing permissions, wiping and reflashing. Only Odin works (what I did the first time)

Thinking it is genocide, as I didn't have any issues until I upped to version 2, from 1.1.

I am trying to install HD2 NDT GINGER ROM Version 11.0. I tried 4 times, clean installation and it is always stack on "device loading".

I tried another one rom and its the same...

I have no phone for a week now and i don't know what to do! :(

Anyone knows a solution for this?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnEVo:
Hello All, I hope this is posted in the right place....

I believe I have bricked my Wife's CDMA Hero...

It was rooted with S=Off and working. I was flashing roms and all was well until... Danger-SPL... I know, I know, I shouldn't have done it, but I did!

So, this is what happened.

I flashed the Danger-SPL via clockwork recovery and when I did the screen went to an install screen for a split second and then blank. I waited for a while and tried to reboot, but nothing.

The phone will not come on at all, screen stays blank.

When plugged in I get the charging Orange LED. When I try to power up, regular, recovery, bootloader, etc. the LED goes away, but screen is still blank. The battery does warm up after awhile with the phone "on" so it seems to be drawing juice from the batt.

Volume Down + Power Yields nothing

Volume Up + Power Gives me 3 Vibrates

Menu + Power Gives me 5 Vibrates and Blinking Green LED

everything else doesn't seem to do anything, the screen is ALWAYS blank!

Cannot see the device via adb from my mac... (Not very well versed in adb, but have used it a little with success in the past on my EVO)

Is there any hope? I have googled till my ears bled (not really but heads my been pounding after awhile!)

Have I truly bricked the phone? Is there anything that can be done WITHOUT the use of JTAG (Still researching that to see if I can do something)

Any help is appreciated... any bashing if fine too, you can't bash me more than the Wife!!!

Thanks in advance!!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
The jig should do it. Sometimes that screen is download mode, even though its the soft brick picture. Try hooking it up to odin. If odin recognizes the device you should be able to flash back to stock fine.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] txdeathray:
The 3rdSense rom has built-in data2ext and it's running Froyo Sense. You can give that a try.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojoffdawal:

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] txdeathray:
actually, it has Sense 2.1 with Sense 3.0 lockscreen. data2ext definitely gets you more free space than app2sd, but i think the devs will crank out a version with data2ext.

Are you using SetCPU or Voltage Control? Make sure your maximum is 1000 Mhz and your minimum is 200 Mhz.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
Honestly, this has happened to me from time to time when the circle is going under Android Man. I just battery pull and reboot and all is well. Another reason why journal on can be your friend...freezing boot animations or shutdowns. I am always 1400 max but not under 200 minimum EDIT...for what its worth, I reverted back to Genocide 1.1 IAP from 2.0
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LunaticWolf:
Voltage control.

I had to odin to get my phone working again. Right now, no OC app is installed.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LunaticWolf:
I did that, and let it sit overnight when it first happened. Still at the android man after 8 hours.

Had it at 1400/200 with journaling as well. I went back to 1.1 as well. We will see what happens :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
If you have it happen again, pull battery, boot into recovery, wipe cache and Dalvik 3x and reboot. I know you did this already but give it one more shot that way. If it freezes, don't let it sit there fighting to boot. Have you been trying different boot animations? Maybe Odin to clean out some left over stuff in your system if you don't get it working. I have the exact same setup as you currently but with Nebula theme that has its own boot ani. Helix is on my all time fav list though
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
If you Odin and restore everything, you still have a bad system somewhere. You should start fresh without restoring everything and see if it still happens. Then add a few things at a time to see what causes it. Before reinstalling the boot ani, wipe cache and Dalvik.
[XPERIA X10 General] urenajoseluis:
I am trying to unlock my x10a locked to ATT, I purchased the unlocking code but it seems that mi unlocking code cannot be found on the unlocking server.

They offered me the unlocking software which requires to be running android 2.1.

So the deal is that I don’t know what is the version that the cel is running, I will think is not 2.1, but I don’t know how to tell, so how can I update the cel to android 2.1 on a locked phone.

BTW I don’t have any ATT sim

PLS help!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
flashtool will probably still work!
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Does your lockscreen have and arc you have to swipe or a straight line at the bottom to unlock (like iPhone)?

If you have the arc swipe to leave lockscreen then you're on 1.6.

If you got the straight swipe line, then your on 2.1.

You can check your Android version by going to:

Settings>About Phone

And check what it says in the Firmware version field.
[XPERIA X10 General] urenajoseluis:
Yes I have the Arc so I'm on 1.6

I can't go to setting I can only do an emergency call.
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Ahh yea the AT&T restrictions. Forgot about those, on generic firmwares you can boot up without a SIM in the phone.

Well you just have to flash a generic X10a firmware with FlashTool then.

To be safe get the X10a (2.0.A.0.504) firmware.

Not confirmed this myself, but I think going from 1.6 to 2.1 requires you initially flash 2.0.A.0.504 before any other 2.1 firmware (But I'm really not certain about this, so this is just a safety precaution on my part).

This can all be found in the FlashTool thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746

Then just flash that and then you'll be ready for your cable unlock.
[XPERIA X10 General] urenajoseluis:
Is there a matrix of FW releases??
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Yea there is a lot, but if you checked my link you would see there is only 3 generic firmwares for each device (X10i & X10a) in the link.

ok arkedk thanks for the help, will download that and check if it helps.

Why flash old 2.0.A.0.504 firmware without dualtouch?

Here's a step by step guide for AT&T X10a users to update to the most recent global generic 2.1.A.0.435 firmware, which has dualtouch and will be certain to get the official 2.3.3 Gingerbread update directly from SE when available.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1012380
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Told him to flash that because I remember someone long ago said that going from 1.6 to the latest 2.1 could cause problems. But was not certain on that so better safe than sorry. And either way he will be able to get 2.3 on 2.0.A.0.504 just aswell as on 2.1.A.0.435. This was just so he could get the device unlocked in the safest possible way I could recommend. He can always just connect the X10 to SEUS after he has unlocked, and then it will update him to the latest 2.1.A.0.435
[XPERIA X10 General] urenajoseluis:
On x10unlocked.com it says that I shouldn't have a custom firmware installed.

That's the software the company provided me with.

Please advice
[XPERIA X10 General] gregbradley:
Am i missing something here, but wont pc companion or seus put everyone on the latest official 2.1 version from se with no problems

Then he can unlock easy with flashtool.

Edit

So, download seus or pc companion from se website, instal and follow the instructions. You don't even have to be able to turn the phone on for it to work
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Not any kit. If you want the bloatware branded ATT 2.1 firmware that limits data speeds and blocks apps from unknown sources. Also, most branded kits will not be getting the Gingerbread update.
[XPERIA X10 General] gregbradley:
What i seem to think his problem is is that he cant unlock on SETool because he is on 1.6 and that only works with stock 2.1

So he needs 2.1 on his phone which he is struggling with.

So, use official means to upgrade to the official 2.1, unlock using SETool, then use flashtool to root, install recovery and flash any firmware or custom rom he wants.

Why the worry about dual touch drivers etc etc.....once its rooted you can get rid of bloatware, easily flash generic firmware and receive 2.3 update....

I am confused as to why this poses a problem.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Enabling apps from unknown sources isn't as easy as rooting with ATT. Also, data is throttled down to 3G.

You even suggest flashing generic after updating via SEUS or PCC. Why add all these extra steps? This is xda. You can accomplish everything with global generic 2.1.A.0.435 firmware in about 5 minutes with the flash tool.

Well What I did was use Sony Ericsson Update Service, when I connected the phone it told me that there is a newer version so it updated it to firmware version 2.1-update1. So I was able to unlock the phone using multi unlock. Now to get the latest firmware which I understood it is 2.1.A.0.435 with Flash Tool.

Can I go straight from 2.1-update1 to 2.1.A.0.435?

And a last question a generic firmware means that I won’t have all those useless ATT apps on my phone?

Thanks for the help
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Yea a generic firmware is one without any branded apps, special setup or limited features.

The latest generic was released for the German generic kits an has build version 2.1.B.0.1. You can find it in my signature.
[XPERIA X10 General] urenajoseluis:
What do you mean by German generic kits?

I apologize to be a pain but I just getting in the android world.
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
All Sony Ericsson devices is sold in different regions and has a region specific code. That code determines if your region is eligible for an update (Sony Ericsson rolls out their updates in regions).

Some regions gets updates that others don't get, that's the case with the 2.1.B.0.1, this firmware was only released to the German "kits".

Not a pain at all, we all have to start somewhere :)
[XPERIA X10 General] urenajoseluis:
Ok then I will go to 2.1.B.0.1, hopefully I won’t screw up my phone since this is the first time doing this
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmap516:
What exactly does wiping battery stats do? When should I do it? And if I 'calibrated' the battery (Charge to 100%, wipe stats, drain, charge to 100%) do I have to do anything when I flash back to a different ROM? And does the calibration stick through Nand recoveries? Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarvin:
I also wanna do it, can anyone tell us the exact instructions ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jungbum:
It is suggested that you calibrate the battery after you flash a new ROM.

Go to data/system on Root Explorer, set to r/w (otherwise, it won't let you delete the file), delete batterystats.bin.

Drain your phone's battery completely.

You have to make sure your phone charges full to 100% without a break (meaning do not unplug your phone). You can achieve this by turning on 'Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot.' (Setting -> Wireless & networks -> Tethering & portable hotspot -> Select Portable Wi-Fi hotspot).

Once your phone charges full, you should let the phone drain to 0% again.

It should be good to go!

Or you can download an app from the market:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&feature=search_result

It deletes batterystats.bin for you, but otherwise, all steps are same.

Unlocked bootloader = Root. Once u unlock the bootloader you can put whatever you want onto your phone, i.e. clockwork mod and rooted roms.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Unlocked bootloader does NOT equal root

I.E Moto phones with locked bootloaders that can be rooted.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcberg2010:
If u unlock the bootloader you can almost guarantee root, because you can flash whatever you want. Therefore unlocked bootloader = root...

You are right though, root does not = unlocked bootloader.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carngeX:
Unlocked bootloader is so you can put custom recovery and flash images. Root is having su permissions in Android OS.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcberg2010:
I know this...my point is that getting root after HTC unlocks the bootloader will be as easy as flashing a custom recovery and a rom with su. There shouldn't be any need to find exploits to gain root.

Ex.

Fastboot oem unlock

Flash clockwork from bootloader

Wipe and flash custom Rom of choice.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Aren't the only devices that can be "fastboot OEM unlock"ed developer devices like the nexus and xoom? I know that other devices that don't have encrypted bootloaders can usually be rooted easily but I thought it was still more of a process than a simple ADB command.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcberg2010:
If HTC really allows people to unlock their device, that might be one possible method they use. Personally I think they will try and find someway to permanently mark the bootloaders are unlocked so they can make sure the carriers can void warrenties (Much like the Nexus One had a picture of a lock to show if you unlocked your bootloader). I'm sure everyone read it but here's HTC's latest status update. http://www.facebook.com/notes/htc/update-on-bootloaders/10150305151453084
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
It'll be interesting to see what they do. Realistically, they could just leak the unlockable bootloaders and the good folks here on xda would take care of the rest..

It would be disappointing to me if they included some sort of warranty voiding measure as I don't see why the warranty wouldn't still apply to the hardware.
[Galaxy S II General] yoann_anonymous:
Hi there!

I will post here what I've done and what I will do to get the best solutions for travelling, the main idea is to get gps located maps on your phone :D

First of all when I'm abroad and I discover any place, the most embarrassing things are to know where I am, where I go, and how I will go there... :D:D:D

It is true with any kind of transport, by walking, by bike, by car.

In my eyes one of the answer is to get portable maps solution with gps location.

A samsung galaxy S2 with google maps seem to be the best solution :

- The galaxy S2 have the best gps and can provide different kind of maps, with a good ergonomy with multitouch navigation.

- Google maps provide best accuracy maps everywhere in the world.

- Plus a smartphone can do the job of a laptop while travelling, like email, web surfing etc...

This is my main idea, with lots of improvements around.

Like I need a good battery life, a strong case, google maps offline etc...

In the next post I will post basically all the equipments/modifications done for that, remember travelling abroad.

The thread is in construction, new idea/better things will come soon.

Of course any kind of suggestions/discussions are welcomed ;)

Cheers
