[myTouch 3G, Magic General] victor0519:
i want to know the answer to my question.

What is the best cyanogen?

cyanogen 5.0.8 OR Cyanogen 6.1

i have the cyanogen 5.0.8 and now my phone dont let to put a new APN,and dont charge the contacts in msn....
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tvall:
I only used cm 6.1 and a few cm7 ports. I like 7 a lot but I don't think its the best rom out there for us. A little to bloated for d/s
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] victor0519:
OK

I have the cm 5.0.8, and my phone dont let me to put a new apn, tell me what i should do?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tvall:
Google it? Never used cm 5.

So I've been playing with the MTD builds, and got the infamous MIUI roaming bug. So I thought to myself, I'll just flash back to stock. Plugged up the phone and get a "Unrecognized Device" message. So I think, maybe it's MIUI. So I try flashing the mtd CM7. Still nothing. The driver installer that comes with Heimdall sees it as unrecognized as well, and I would rather not buy a new phone. Anyone?
[Samsung Mesmerize] Mesmerizeuser:
Try searching for and installing the usb drivers for the Fascinate. I had the same problem with cm7 a while back and the fascinate drivers fixed me up just like new.
[Samsung Mesmerize] dwhitehead:
No such luck, still got the error.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
You need to use the Nexus S drivers. Google search for them and you'll get the directions for installing them in the android sdk.
[Samsung Mesmerize] dwhitehead:
So should I expect this again if I reflash the recent CM7 after I get this back to stock?

And can I say that getting anything to work on Win7 x64 is becoming a supreme pain? After installing Google SDK, and walking the update drivers walk, still nothing.
[Samsung Mesmerize] foxfire450:
If you haven't installed the correct drivers yet, then yes.

The CM7/MIUI kernel is built from a different phone (Nexus), so different drivers are needed (although I hear the Samsung drivers do work on 32-bit Windows). I believe it's the "Google USB Driver Package" that you're looking for in the Android SDK that needs installing (worked for me, anyway). It should install the correct drivers.

While you're there, you can also install the "Platform-tools" to install the ADB tools if you wish to use them later, or you can just use QtADB.
[Samsung Mesmerize] dwhitehead:
Installed those drivers too, still unrecognized device.

I have a ton of music uploaded to my Google Music account and have downloaded the new Music app in the market, but it never pops up for me to sync my account. Do I need to replace the stock music app with this one? (right now they both show in the app drawer). If so, what would be the easiest way to accomplish this?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Born2BeMild:
Go to your settings and see if you have your Google account selected for syncing (both on the music application and your account and sync settings). Then at your library, call up the menu and see if you have music from your account selected, and not just downloaded music.

Is it possible to get voodoo sound working on gingerbread on this phone? I'm loving the speed of gingerbread but miss the voodoo sound so is it possible to get it working or do we have to wait for an update?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jdubb1106:
i think we have to wait for an update.. ive tryed doin it on gb and it tells me i need a custom kernel and u need cwm to flash a custom kernel (no current cwm support on gb).

Buy the paid voodoo app from the market and it works on gb
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
Yeah just buy the voodoo plus app, works perfectly of kf2

[General Questions and Answers] zapdor:
Hi guys,

I'm really new to all these android stuff... and I hope I haven't done a HUGE mistake...

I just got a Motorola Defy with Android 2.1 on it... It worked fine for a while, but when it started being slow a friend convinced me to upgrade...

and so i did:

I installed motorola drivers and "RSD lite 4.9".

I opened RSD lite, entered the ROM I downloaded ("JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-11_BLUR_SIGN.gz")

and pressed "start".

so i waited for a while, and then it said "error verifying code group X checksums..." (X goes for 31-69 or something like that)

besides the fact that I freaked out, I'm now stuck on the bootloader screen, saying:

"

Bootloader

09.10

Code Corrupt

Battery OK

OK to Program

Transfer Mode:

USB

"

And I don't know what to do... I tried looking for the answer here and on google but I really can't find a good answer.

It's a new phone and I can't afford a new one anytime soon...

PLEASE HELP

thanks from advanced!!!
[General Questions and Answers] M_T_M:
Have you tried removing the battery and replacing it?
[General Questions and Answers] zapdor:
Well, I tried removing the battery and putting it back... I don't have another battery in stock. I'll try borrow one from a friend as soon as I get my hands on another Defy.

I also found some instructions on pressing "volum down + power" to do a factory reset, but that didn't help.

any other suggeestions for the mid-time?
[General Questions and Answers] zapdor:
Sorry for the double post, It's just that something just happened:

I can still try and flash the phone using different roms... I can't find one that works, but it looks better than not being able to do anything

does anyone know why everytime I try to flash it I get "Error verifying Code Group X..."?

Edit:

OK now I'm pending on the bootloader saying "Battery Low Cannot Program", though I can't recharge it

Real information or stuff i can make up to make you happy for a little bit (also called pulling a verizon) ;)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtritsch:
I for once am waiting patiently for the update. It will get here when it get's here. Right now there are plenty of GB roms out there to try but at this point I am going to stick with rooted stock.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoulderGeek:
Please accept my up-front apologies for being a n00b to the rooted update world.

My assumption is that if we are running a custom ROM, an OTA update from Verizon will not help us and is not advisable.

In case of a Gingerbread OTA, are people planning on reverting to stock to take advantage of the VZW offering? Or is it only that an official GB gives the developer community better, more current source to build from?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wichi2010:
I could be mistaken but I do not think I am. Most OTA updates have already been leaked on XDA(usually devs and other people are good about keeping there eyes open for this stuff). Also I believe that if you are rooted you will nto receive the OTA update and nothing will happen. However if you want to get it then you should unroot. But most likely(if it already hasnt happened) people will put the new OTA update on xda quite fast! Hope this helps
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBO1018:
Yeah it gives the devs a more stable base to work from. Also from what I saw if you want to root do NOT take the gingerbread update. It closes all known exploits. And of course if you are already rooted don't take any OTAs just wait for someone to post a rooted version if you want to try it.

[HD2 Accessories] bilaba70:
Hey guys,

The USB port of my HD2 broke off and I was forced to replace the motherboard. When I assembled the HD2 again, I could immediately see that there was something wrong with my screen. The screen couldn't display full color (only bright red/orange/white/dark green/cyan accents). Also, the 'hang-up button isn't responding anymore after I replaced the motherboard (and flexcable).

What happened? Is there something wrong with the lcd display or did something go wrong when I (dis)assembled the phone? I took the motherboard and the flexcable from another HD2 that had a broken display.

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Accessories] FriedSushi87:
So you completely voided your warranty through HTC and tried to fix the device yourself, then screwed it up. I'd still say send it to HTC and ask for a repair. I don't know if they'll do it or not, unless you used official parts. I know they do out-of-warranty repairs, but they'll charge you.....
[HD2 Accessories] Mister B:
Yep you screwed up the repair, those ribbon cables need a delicate touch & any handfisted moment ends up with what you have got now ...

Another careful strip & inspection of all ribbon connectors is needed ...
[HD2 Accessories] bilaba70:
I bought it as a second-hand phone. The guy didn't give me a reseat and the HD2 was flashed a WP7 ROM.
[HD2 Accessories] pablow:
For the button problem, how are you turning your phone on without that button? do you hear/feel it click when you press it? If not its just misaligned.the buttons are on a flex ribbon cable with two holes on each side. it fits on the plastic middle frame of the phone which has two small spikes coming out of it... it has to be perfectly placed for your buttons to actually click..

if the flex ribbon is broken however you can buy one off ebay for arround 10$ any will do, mine is not original works fine..

for the screen you could have messed up the lcd, did you separate from the glass-digitizer? if you did you probably screwed it up.. its not a easy thing to do.. also was not necessary for your repairs

the connection to the motherboard might not be all the in and clipped which might cause your problem... (being that two of the little pins provide voltage and ground while all the others provide data information if one of those pins is not in all the way a piece of data might not be displaying for example a color. Never seen that happen its theoretically possible thou)

well I have only opened my phone 3 times and dont claim to be a expert.. but this is my take on it... Good luck!
[HD2 Accessories] bilaba70:
@pablow Thanks for the detailed response.

The HD2 is only turned on, after I place the battery. Otherwhise it won't start.

I hear a click on the (broken) 'off' button, everytime I press it. I also noticed that the inside of not all of the 'spikes' are empty. I can see a bit of the flexcable in the spike of the broken 'off' button. The spike of the (working) 'call' button is empty.

I think that the flexcable hasn't been connected securely to the motherboard. I'll try connecting everything again tonight.
[HD2 Accessories] Demon_man:
not that it makes much difference but HTC wouldn't of fixed it through warranty because of usb damage anyway
[HD2 Accessories] bilaba70:
I thought so, thanks for the heads-up anyways.
[HD2 Accessories] bilaba70:
[Solved] Display is fixed

Update:

I disassembled the HD2 and reconnected everything (from coax to flexcable). Fortunately it worked! :D The display is how it should be.

I have another problem now. All of the buttons don't work now, exept for the dial button. Do these buttons break so fast? It's annoying as fuark, because I have to disassemble it another time in the future to fix the buttons.

I also couldn't re-attach the volume control tab when assembling the HD2.

might be a hardware problem, if you have warranty for the device get it replaced. if not you might have to find someone local to fix it.

[EVO 4G General] lightyear420:
I saw today that radio shack has the evo 4g for $30 with a contract, and since I was due, I snagged one right up!!

As the girl was activating my phone, I went to play with the evo 3d...very cool device, I must say :D

When I came back, she was in the middle of an OTA update!!!! I asked her to please cancel it because I don't want it. She told me she couldn't, and she had already activated mine, and if I wanted to exchange it I had to use insurance. When I looked back down at the phone, the update had completed :(

I paid, grabbed my phone off the counter and stomed out of the store.

When I got home, I went straight to XDA to see about rooting it, and to my dismay, I found out because the idiot retard they hired at radio shack had updated it, I'm blocked from rooting!! WTF!!!!!

DO NOT BUY A PHONE FROM RADIO SHACK IF YOU DO NOT WANT THE OTA UPDATE!!!!!!
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
Don't walk away while she's activating it?
[EVO 4G General] thebeast614:
this isnt a reason to not buy from radioshack...ive gotten all my phones from them and they are so much more reasonable and helpful than sprint, not to mention cheaper...just ask them not to update it and im sure they wont do it
[EVO 4G General] oesjmr:
I went with my uncle to Radio Shack today so he could get the $30 EVO deal. I told the guy selling him the phone not to do any OTA updates before he even removed the phone from the box because we wanted to root the phone. The salesman was really cool about this and didn't do anything other than get the phone up and running. Unfortunately, 2.3.3 was already installed on the EVO...so my uncle is stuck without root for now too.
[EVO 4G General] mfknboss:
Take it back..say it dont work..they will exchange it..she obviously hasnt a clue about their return policy.
[EVO 4G General] spider2346:
That's your own fault.. why in the world you would walk away while she's messing with your phone???? Lol now u know!!
[EVO 4G General] OdayAllDday:
I don't think it would have made a difference. If I'm not mistaken the evo is shipping with 2.3.3 now...the ota she installed was probably from 4.22 to 4.24....neither can be rooted anyway.
[EVO 4G General] EmmaHAARP:
I got a refurb evo a few days ago from sprint and it came with the 2.3 too... new Evos are screwed. We just have to wait for a root method. And i wanted to try Synergy Rom so bad :(
[EVO 4G General] Bandage:
Not true at all...go to Best Buy. 4 different Evo's for me, all 2.2. Exchanged both my wife's and mine for hardware issues...and asked the CSM not to do anything to the phone, I'd power it up myself. No update, stock 2.2.

They still had around 20 or so in stock at the Tulsa BB, 71st and 169...for those of you in Tulsa.
[EVO 4G General] lightyear420:
how is it my fault that I didn't know she was gonna be retarded and start messing with my phone?? I've never had anyone update my device straight off the bat like that before!!

It's really crappy that HTC would even bother blocking root since it comes with a stock recovery menu??? that is so confusing to me it makes my brain hurt lmfao :p

I had no idea that the update would even block root. I didn't look here first, because I didn't think I needed to prepare myself for a sales associate to start messing with my device, updating it, etc. I figured I'd have exactly what it shipped with when I got it home.

I'm gonna call radio shack corporate tomorrow and sort this whole thing out. I'm going crazy already with all the apps, etc. I'm missing without root lol
[EVO 4G General] njfoses:
Disclamier - I do not work for RadioShack but have worked in retail upper management for many years.

The rep did exactly what he/she should have. For 95% of people out there they want the latest software and dont even know what root is or care. If the associate doesn't update the software once the customer gets home and sees the phone trying to update they are probably going to get confused and either call the store or go back in taking up more of the associates time. You should have done the research yourself and informed the rep to please not update anything even though as previously posted it was prob on gingerbread already and just updating the latest fixes. Radioshack has no obligation to take the device back as it is not faulty in any way.
[EVO 4G General] bigsmooth66:
Good luck with that.

You are correct. I just bought two on Thursday, and they came with the 4.22. So I had to update to the newest patch(4.24)
[EVO 4G General] evolishesh:
No offence Bro. But you think that HTC is going to shipped phones that have the old 2.2 froyo software for sale? even though the newest software is out(gingerbread). come on, that will have to be stupid on their part.
[EVO 4G General] Sivin96:
I just got the $30 EVO and it came out of the box with Android 2.3.3

Same with the other 2 EVOs my family bought the same day. None of them had an OTA update done with them.

You just have to get lucky.
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
She actually did the not retarded thing, and did what she's trained to do. This could be different from area to area, but when I worked for Radio Shack we were required to update the prl, and the software if there was any available. If a customer asked not to, I wouldn't do it then. You can't be mad at her for doing her job.

The recovery more or less is mainly for the carrier and manufacturers support, there's always a recovery in android! It's dumb to assume that there's no use for it when it's stock just because we don't use it.

Something like root is something you should look up on and read before you buy the phone since you're at risk of harming the device.

So you're argument is she updated your phone when you didn't want her to, but you neglected to tell her you didn't want her to so you can take it home and gain root access through a security hole for apps that require root? You're not gonna get very far.

You have 30 days to trade the phone in for a different phone, trade it in for a Shift or an Epic and ask for no updates next time.
[EVO 4G General] nomadicthoughts:
She was just trying to help you. 99% of people who buy these phones DON'T root or do anything similar.

I rather just wait for radioshack to bring the GS2.... oops... did I say too much?
[EVO 4G General] jacoballen22:
The Guy at Radioshack told me that it wouldn't be updated out the box. He said it would still have 2.1 back in September yet when I look at about phone it had already been preloaded with 2.2. Guy didn't know what he was talking about but oh well, better than paying the rebate.
[EVO 4G General] luciferii:
i got my evo from wireless.amazon.com FOR FREE and it came less than 48 hours later without the update on it. ok. i lied it wasnt free, it cost me 1 penny on my CC. totally worth it. also the amazon site says it comes with 2.2 about 5 times so im sure you can return it if it comes with 2.3 claiming false advertisement.
[EVO 4G General] lightyear420:
Ok, for everyone saying I should have researched and I should have told her not to update....since there's many, I'm not quoting everyone lol

I went in the store with a samsung transform that was bricked (and no, I didn't brick it....it just wouldn't turn on anymore and despite my efforts, I couldn't get anything to flash to it properly) I called customer support while I was at the Sprint store speaking to a live rep to see if they would give me an early upgrade, and they agreed, then told me to go to radio shack because the sprint store I was at had sold out of them.....so I had NO IDEA I would be leaving with a different phone, let alone that fact that I was clueless about there even being an update (I had no idea the Evo had even gotten gingerbread yet) and I didn't know that even if there WAS an update, it would block root.

So now, here I am, the above average, clueless customer, with one of the best phones available, and it's gimped to the point where I don't even want to look at it anymore.....what the hell good is a device with no root access???? I can't even back up my apps if I want. Hell, I can't even get rid of that god-awful white trash nascar app they insist on installing.

So since I left the store with an item in a condition I did not expect it to be in (updated to block root) yes, I should be able to return it without a restocking fee, at an even exchange for the exact same item. If they are trained to update, then they should be trained to ask if you would like them to update before they do it. And since I was talking to another RS rep about an xperia I have with CM7, they should have known god damn well I didn't want some update that will block me from doing what I want, legally, to my own personal property!!!! It's not like rooting your phone is a crime anywhere in the world.....so why should I have to deal with companies blocking it?

Thanks for the idea

here's a screenshot from radio shack's site:
[EVO 4G General] Sm0k3d 0uT:
I just got mine from amazon wireless on Friday, it came with 2.3 on it. I was thinking of sending it back saying the website said 2.2 all over it. I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, I found someone who has an EVO with 2.2 on it and she said she would trade me phones.
[EVO 4G General] luciferii:
i guess i was lucky in getting a 2.2 phone then lol, i had it rooted and running a custom rom before i had even setup my service. but amazons service is great. they even give you a month to return the phone. considering that and the price ill be getting my next phone from there too.
