[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreshNClean:
jussy,

I had exactly the same problem so I'll answer even tho this is the wrong thread. You have to start first by extracting the zip file from the RUU. Run the RUU until it gets to the first screen then leave it there (don't close it).

Go to Start -> Run and type %temp%.

Find the temporary folder folder that's just been created (sort based on date) and find a file called 'rom.zip'. Copy this file into another location and close the RUU.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jussy:
Thanks for replay.

I've extracted rom.zip and renamed to PB99IMG.zip. tried to flash it in fastboot.

Flash process start but stops before finishing leave me in the same situation as before. If I want to flash it again gives me main version is older.

I've s-off it 10 times today and made many try.

EDIT: I've also tried to flash via fastboot commander the .img files in rom.zip but after that I could only access fastboot.

Now I've flash a generic ruu to make it boot.

Tbh mate I'm not sure how to change it lol.. mayb delete and repost in q&a..

Just beware of flames coming your way lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3f1f37:
Dude, don't flash the zip, just put it in the root of your SD, then switch phone off, hold vol down button and reboot into recovery, your phone will recognize the pb99img.zip and some options should come up. Follow the on screen instructions and you should be unrooted in 15 mins max.

Traced from a Reflex S Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jussy:
Sorry for my bad english but what you said is what I've done.

1-root and s-off.

2-flash downgrade hboot(alpharev).

3-put PB99IMG.zip (extract as said from my branded ruu) on sd card root.

4-boot power + vol down.

5-It starts, step 1 goes well then at the end of step 2 screen became black and came back with 0.75 hboot s-on and if I try again it gives me main version is older.

So I can only reboot, reflash a rom and s-off it again.

Never ending loop...

Thanks anyway.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhonybravo4u:
You are using wrong RUU.use the RUU with 5.11.05.27 , I am on mobile so can't give you the exect link.I will post it tomorrow for you, if you can't find.

And it is better to create a goldcard if you havent yet
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jussy:
I've got my gold card already in.

Sadly there's only one ruu for my carrier.

I can flash a generic froyo ruu but it's not good for warranty.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_norris:
I can't really help in terms of your issue.

If I remember right, I booted into the bootloader and switched on fastboot, then ran the RUU EXE making sure my phone was connected to my pc.

It eventually came right.

Saying that, after I got the stock ROM back on, my phone went ape (and to this day I have no idea why). Random restarts. Freezing. It was crazy. I had to upgrade the RUU for it to stay on properly. Was really weird.

There are so many threads about rooting for warrantee purposes, perhaps search them or go through thier instructions, cause I'm sure someone may have had the same issue.

Wish I could help you though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jussy:
It seems you didn't got the problem.

Thanks anyway.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jussy:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jussy:
Sorry guys I got an other problem...

Now this is the second time I bring it to assistence (last time was for vol down) and when they give it back to me it was updated to froyo.

I'm facing problem with 1.15=>1.21 OTA, installation is aborted due to status 7 (if some one can help I'll post the full error message).

Unfortunetly the ruu I've used is the only one from my carrier.

Will they know that my phone was updated by them and I'll lose my warranty?

Any idea about fixing status 7?

Many thanks.

Best regads,

Hello everybody

I am trying since the morning to format my sd-card using the phone but i didnt see any option for that . Because i dont want to use the computer to clean it , i want to know if you have any others solution or software to format it using the phone .

Thanks in advance .
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zozor:
Anybody ? i didnt find a solution yet
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TB13:
If you are rooted you can do it in recovery or in settings/storage you can erase it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zozor:
I am rooted , but this option is unvailable in settings=>option=>storage .
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TB13:
Try via recovery then. Go to mounts and storage then format sdcard
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zozor:
i have problem when enter to the recovery , bootloop , stay with a phone and an exclamation point , somebody as this issue ?

Can load the recovery , stay in this image .
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pieman13:
I have the same issue.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zozor:
No choice , have re-installed the recovery , all wipe , then put the custom rom .
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zozor:
I have solve this issue .

Settings => sd/storage => unmount Sdcard => erase all in the Sdcard .
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pieman13:
will I lose s-off if I do this? or just get recovery back? I was able to get the gingerbread update but the loss of recovery has me worried.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zozor:
If you are S-OFF by Alpharev dont update to GB via RUU or OTA if you want root , you need to read this article and ask if some question : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1139625

If you are S-OFF by XTC clip you can update one anything else you will stay in S-OFF .but lost the Recovery , if lost it . It is easy to re-install then flash another rom. If you erase data in your SDcard . Nothing will be happen .

=> Follow the thread , this one is how to format Sdcard :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] revant:
Most of the ROMs with appropriate kernels come with ext2 for /system

and then convert the filesystems with the .convert file to data-ext4 and cache-ext2

so while i was messing around i tried this:

Required:

Kernel supporting filesystems,

factoryfs.rfs is already ext2 and has cwm recovery in it

stl7 and stl8 converted to desired filesystems

use a freshly flashed rom without any private data on /cache and /data for "dd" if you packaging it for people to download (just in case, it wont matter because it will get formatted on first boot itself)

create cache.rfs (12,45,184 bytes) and datafs.rfs (14,82,752 bytes) using terminal editor/adb

For datafs.rfs

# dd if=/dev/block/stl7 of=/sdcard/datafs.rfs bs=4096 count=362

it will create a datafs.rfs file in your sdcard which is (4096 x 362 = 14,82,752 bytes)

For cache.rfs

# dd if=/dev/block/stl8 of=/sdcard/cache.rfs bs=4096 count=304

it will create a cache.rfs file in your sdcard which is (4096 x 304 = 12,45,184 bytes)

now i packed it in a tar with a factoryfs.rfs (ext2) with recovery in it and flashed the rom

It showed CWM recovery on first boot,

Here i did a factory reset which formatted data cache and sd-ext into clean filesystems, then i fixed permissions superstitiously

This way ROM gets flashed and at the first boot itself the fs are converted to desired fs.

I don't know the quality of what i did or whether it has been done before or is it even correct..

but it worked :)

If you like it, thank me :)

if you don't, Ignore :)

Attached: my data (ext4) & cache (ext2) 2011-07-24
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Mohanshbhr:
Thanks a lot, i was searching the same thing for appearing cwm on first boot after flashing rom. when i flash new rom i will check it and i m sure that it will work
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] revant:
I dont know why the CWM is seen on first boot.

May be because of error in filesystem

the output Cache.rfs and datafs.rfs are just initial bytes of the partition, if you get whole partition cache will be 6.0+ mB and datafs around 270 mB

But with this it is somehow managing to say to cwm that the fs is bad and CWM stops for us.. CWM seems to think it is certain type of fs and formats it to same type.

If you dont format (factory reset) the phone wont boot and the logcat will show error that it cannot create anything on /data

I tried "mkdir 123" in /data with adb and it gives IO error

but after format everything works fine.

and if you accidentally reboot and miss the CWM first time and the phone doesnt boot.. Just manually go to recovery and do factory reset
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pmanian:
I used the following command to create cache.rfs as my cache.rfs is 13 MB

dd if=/dev/block/stl8 of=/sdcard/cache.rfs bs=4096 count=3344

hi

i have this problem that android 2.2.2 default email program does not show inbox mail after some days. how i can to that, phone does not lose it and show so much time when i delete?

with 1.6 android (HTC Tattoo) i did not have this kind problem.
[LG Optimus Black] zaitz:
Same here, it shows only the e-mails of about 2 last days, it's configured to an exchange mailbox. Isn't enough of a issue for me to use alternate software. I heard that Moxier is good but it isn't for free, but there are definitly some nice free alternatives.
[LG Optimus Black] bussekas:
have anyone idea what is good replacement e-mail program and its easy to use and works like it should?

yes, i have change all settings what i can. as i understand, default mail program holds in phone inbox only two days emails. after that older than two days are gone.

[Fascinate General] Toddw:
My fascinate has started doing something strange. I can open an app and use it for a couple of minutes and the keyboard will suddenly appear then usually the app will close. Sometimes I can hit the back button and the app will stay running but usually the app will close. It does this on mainly resource hungry apps like XDA or Market though it has done it on about all of the apps. I thought I had a rom or kernel issue but I've gone all the way back to stock and it still does it. I'm beginning to think I've got a touchscreen problem but I don't know for sure. The phone is still under warranty but I want to be sure its not the way I've got something set or an app problem. It just did it on the home screen, keyboard popped up and I hit the back button and it went away. Ever heard of this?
[Fascinate General] DirgeExtinction:
I have a touchscreen problem as well(I think), but please try to post questions in the Q&A section. :) Just sayin'
[Fascinate General] 420fan:
had the same problem, took it into verizon, told them I was having that issue and the missed call issue and they sent me a new phone. New phone not having any problems yet (fingers crossed)
[Fascinate General] bgorrell:
I just ordered my second replacement due to "phantom" button presses. But mine was always mimicking the home, back, or menu key. Wouldn't even have to be touching the phone when it happened.

You may be having a similar issue. although I'm not sure how you'd get the keyboard from the home screen unless your cursor is in google search our something.

Anyway, I've read of similar issues on fascinate, charge, and original droid. All required new hardware. Most commonly blamed on 3rd party chargers and possibly buggy charging code. Ends up damaging the touchscreen over time.
[Fascinate General] Toddw:
Interesting about chargers. I sometimes use a non-samsung charger that came with an LG phone. I'll stop using it just in case. Mine also will act up without me even touching the phone. I just got a replacement in the last 10 minutes and will see how things go. Thanks for the replies.
[Fascinate General] mellen_hed:
I have phantom button presses, too, but I've ALWAYS used my stock charger. I did notice that removing my otter box case helped cut back on

[Fascinate General] foister82:
It took me forever to figure out why i could not get odin to detect my phone or why my phone would never show up as being USB connected. I was using an LG USB charging cable. I bought a new microUSB cable and it worked like a charm. I swear those LG cables are about as reliable as their phones (see LG Voyager)

Im just curious how many of you out there would recommend an iPhone over an Android phone or an Android over an iPhone. After being an iOS user since 09 and recently switching to Android, I would actually say that Android is my favorite. Just because of all the customization options I have and all the things I can do that I could of never done with an iPhone (even when jailbroken). Now I'd like to hear your opinion. :)

[General Topics] shady503403:
agreed with android ftw..

i do enjoy reponsiveness of ios and polished look. it just looks "nice"

but android ftmfw..

my friend had an iphone 4 and we jailbroke it and he was showing all the cool things you can do with jailbroken phones..

i was like wait.... what? my phone could do this before it was even rooted.

makes me sad that ios has sooo many features just "missing" that phones should have. or be able to do. i guess thats why its not open sources... =\
[General Topics] ABorgh:
Actually I like iOS 'cause it's so stable and really really easy , thus leaving it for all ages to use. But it's really limited and therefore you jailbreak.

Android on the other hand is a very good OS too! It's very very versatile and you can custom it like you want. The only thing with Android is that it's kind of messy.

So to conclude iOS is an OS that you'll find attractive in first look and some months to come. Android is an OS that grows on you and you'll love it in the long-run.
[General Topics] willg_smith:
Has anyone seen iOS5? Apple obviously stole almost every new feature from the jailbreak community then they stole notifications from Android. They need to come up with their own ideas.
[General Topics] ABorgh:
They do that quite often! Same happend with iOS 4 with the wallpaper and multi tasking
[General Topics] pandamaja:
I suspect you're going to get android as the majority answer here.

I'm over the ios>android or android> ios. They're different beasts with great qualities all around. I think ios is a simpler os in that really anyone can use it. At the same time, android's strength comes in its flexibility and customization. This doesn't suite everyone because really the majority of people just want an easy button. They can find that in android, they just don't have the patience to look.
[General Topics] willg_smith:
I wouldn't neccesarily say that Apple stole multitasking from another OS/Device because its different. I mean, come on, its fake. I wouldn't say Apple stole the homescreen wallpapers either. Its an image that doesn't move and it isn't live. Basically, it makes it look a little better. No biggy.
[General Topics] willg_smith:
If you want to use your phone as a phone with a little web browsing and a little Angry Birds playin', get iOS because its simple. If you want to make your phone the way you want it and you like customization, freedom, and the ability to to almost anything with your phone, get Android. =)
[General Topics] jags_the1:

[General Topics] vbetts:
I would really like Ios, it's not a bad OS. Multitask, runs pretty decent, huge app store, but there are a couple reasons why I'm not on ios.

Flash, I use flash on my phone all the time. Keeps me entertained.

Screen size, 3.5" is too small for me.

Carrier, I'm on Sprint dammit.
[General Topics] MartyLK:
I use an iPhone for the reliability of it. And because currently it's the only phone I have with FFC. I also use an Android phone because of the enjoyment of it and apps. I feel my Inspire is smoother and nicer than my iPhone, but not as reliable. The screen isn't nearly as good as the iPhone 4's, either.

I also use a WP7 device and feel WP7 will overtake bother other formats eventually. It's that good.

But right now I don't leave the house without my iPhone. I feel secure in the knowledge I can get ahold of someone shuld the need arise. My Inspire almost got my family and I lost once due to a malfunctioning compass and non-functioning nav.
[General Topics] GrimsonSR:
Almost exact sentiment, except in reverse. My trusty Eris does all my heavy lifting for work-related tasks while my iPhone is my gps/playtoy. Haven't gotten my hands on a windows phone yet but they certainly are sounding more and more attractive these days!

[General Topics] sleeperzzz:
So yeah unlike allot here i won't go FU on iOS.

Here is my subjective list of pro & contra for both systems.

Mind you i have used both.

iOS​

PLUS:

Stable

For it's money a well running piece of software built on that specific hardware

Fast

Simple to use

Design = top notch

Good service and reliable

Contra:

Hard to modify the feel of the OS

Forced to stay with all apple software (unless jailbroken) to downlaod upload music,etc..

Easy to jailbrake but still a challenge

Android​

PLUS:

Easy to use

Smooth and stable

Easy to modify and root

Customizable to a great extend

Perfectly combined with all Google products

Good service and help from google with personal calls explaining things

Contra:

Default FM can hang once in a while

Without root no way to do much or change much

Easier battery drain (personal opinion)

No updates for all the phone due to builds and limitations ( this is because there are so many companies producing Androids but all with different specs)

WP7​

Well really don't have much usage experience i did boot the emulator to check it out. Can't say it's ugly but doesn't look appealing either.

I believe that the OS probably is decent but it doesn't beg me to try it out :)

I think the WP7 is a good phone matching all other MS products. Like Xbox to phone connections and with Win8 it will be easy to look things up on your PC and share it with your phone if you godda go real quick. Win8 get's the same WP7 overlay.

All in all no real user experience so won't brake it down.

I believe it's a small correct list.

I can't say i hate either one of them but currently running android. Feels a Little slower then iOS but my biggest plus is all my Google Docs,Searches,G+,Mail,Pic are easy to acces with simple clicks from your phone.

Who the best is?

Think both are worth as much but if you like to mess around with your phone i would advise the android OS. Also you are more free to choose a phone to your liking then being forced a same look like the guy next to you in the train has.

Hi all,

is there anyone else who experiences this?

=> my mobile data more often than not refuses to work, unless I reboot the phone. After rebooting it will work. Since I normally turn off mobile data unless I need it, this forces me to reboot the phone +- every time I need mobile data.

Does anyone have the faintest idea how I can troubleshoot this? What to look for in logcat/dmesg?

Thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
airplane mode can help...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dryhte:
Thanks, but assuming this is a reliable way to get 3g back, how can I find out what the reason is that it gets lost in the first place, and what's wrong with the phone?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] FrenchOnly:
I have experienced that too, after flashing new kernel then my mobile data didn't work properly. It kept losing signal, turning on and off airplane mode helped but that wasn't the solution.

Right then I reflashed the old kernel and it went back to normal.

Is it true that any code in kernels affects mobile data performance?

I flashed FK 16.1 on LOL 1.4.2 when it happened.
