[Verizon Droid Charge] genner:
ok so i followed the steps till reading the zip file from the sdcard.

at the recovery mode i selected install zip from sdcard but it did nothing. I was still able to scroll to choose zip from sdcard and it never gave me any browser to search for the kernel file on the sd card.

So i went and tried the back up and restore option and got the blue banana.

I waited for about 1hr still blue banana in the center of the screen.

I ended up pressing and holding down the power button and it shut down.

Now when I hold down vol. down button and plug in USB cable with Odin v1.3, I now always fail with trying to use Charge_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5

Charge now displays the cellphone...!...computer icon on the screen....

Did I brick the phone?
[Verizon Droid Charge] genner:
ok so i managed to use another pc and got out of the cellphone ! and computer icon.

I ran the Charge_cwm_recovery.tar.md5 again with Odin and am able to get to the cwm voodoo lagfix recovery v4.0.1.0 on the phone.

However now when I select install zip from the sdcard and press the home button, all i get is the blue banana. Doesn't seem to be doing anything.

please help!
[Verizon Droid Charge] genner:
OK no more banana thanks to:

Now I am able to select the kernel. I've downloaded the peanutbutter jelly time

0710_charge_voodoo.zip - [Click for QR Code] (7.03 MB, 1224 views) file and saved it to my SDcard. Just wondering before doing so, is this correct?

I
[Verizon Droid Charge] genner:
I have some random questions.....

So I've downloaded the following:

GummyChargedFE1.9.1 at 140mb

EE4stock_DXC.tar at 200mb

EE4dxvodo_DXC.tar at 216mb.

Charge_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5 at about 6mb

I understand GummyChargeFE1.9.1 is a ROM file that changes the layout of phone.

EE4stock and EE4dxvodo are Kernels with one being the same as your stock EE4 from Verizon? And the other is the rooted version of EE4 from the stock version? If so, do these have to be ran from ODIN or can it be ran from the SDcard via the voodoo lagfix recovery v4.0.1.0 inside the recovery mode?

And finally the last question for tonight...

The size of the EE4 files vs. the Charge_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5

Why the big size difference? Is it because the EE4 contains both CWM mod and system files while Charge_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5 is just the CWM mod?

If that's the case, could I just run the Rooted version of EE4dxvodo straight from Odin and be done with rooting?
[Verizon Droid Charge] genner:
Anyone? Just want to make sure before I proceed with the Kernel part.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Samsuck:
Dude, just FOLLOW THE CHADNESS guide

Download the CWM package of Gummy Charged not the Odin package

Put your files in the ROOT of your SD card ,meaning don't put it in any folder.

Flash Clockwork

- Reboot into recovery

- Use the down and up key to navigate

- Select "install zip from sd card"

- Navigate to where you put the kernel

- Flash kernel (your kernel shouldn't be that big)

- Then go back, wipe data, cache

- Then flash rom

- Youre done
[Verizon Droid Charge] genner:
ok i just proceeded with the peanutbutta jelly time voodoo kernel.

I got the superuser icon in my app lists.

I believe I'm good to go?

I don't really need to Download the CWM package of Gummy Charged not the Odin package do I?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tacotory:
Hello. I am in the process of trying to get root back on my evo and would like to ask for confirmation on what I am planning to do before I go down the wrong path.

History- My phone was rooted with Warm 2.2 on it and my speaker went bad. I needed to return it to Sprint for warranty, so needed to go back to stock. Because I wanted to make sure that I had everything backed up properly (especially contacts), I asked a guy to help me get back to stock, which he did. Speaker was replaced and now I am trying to get back to where I was before the speaker went out.

I currently have s-off, but not root. I tried to use UR3, and it wouldn't work because my radio version was not supported.

Firmware- 2.1-update1

h-boot 0.79.0000

radio- 1.39.00.05.31

I have done a ton of research, but with SO much info avail. on xda, I want to make sure I am about to take the right steps.

Here's what I think I need to do:

1- Place PC36IMG.zip of Anon Ra 2.3 recovery on root of SD and then boot into h-boot and let it update.

2- Run UR3 to get root back.

3- nandroid backup

4- place .zip of ROM on root of SD card

5- Boot into recovery and install ROM zip from SD

Does this sound correct? Am I doing any wrong or useless steps? Any additional steps I should be doing? Different order?

Similar but different topic- I love how clean/ stable and functional Warm 2.2 is. Any other similar ROM recommendations?

Thanks in advance for the help- sorry for the extreme noob-ism.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr5315:
Check for software updates and get to 2.2. Then use Unr3voked to root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Software updates will probably take hmi to 2.3, which is bad.

You need to run unrevoked, first.

If you don't have the drivers on your computer now, reinstall htc synch, then uninstall it.

THEN flash the Amon Ra PC36IMG.zip to get recovery on there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tacotory:
I have the drivers. Unrevoked won't work because my radio version Isn't supported. I was thinking the pc36img.zip file would bring me to a version that would be supported by Unrevoked. Is there a better way?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbourke:
I ordered a keyboard/case for my g tablet. This would be the first thing I have used the USB port for. When I plug it in, the device doesn't recognize it...I think. The keyboard does not get power when I press the caps/num. I then tried a flash drive. The light didn't come on that either.

Both the keyboard and flash drive power on when plugged into my computer.

Thanks for any insight. I did some searching with the search tool but only found information for people who had trouble after it had already worked previously. I'm thinking I may need a return/exchange.

Edit:

FIXED. Started working mysteriously after a restart attempt once it was plugged in. Works unplugged now too.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike_ekim:
The keyboard needs to be plugged in when the tablet boots up or it won't work.

If you uplug your keyboard and then reboot the tablet, and then plug in the keyboard, it will not work.

If you booted with thekeyboard plugged in, it will work. You can unplug the keyboard and plug it back in, and it will work again as long as you didn't reboot the tablet while it was unplugged.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Katutula:
Hi guys, my phone is rooted and works fine but still branded to three and the 3 bootloader annoy me. How can I get it off? Please help.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSLEnterprises:
change the bootanimation and downanimation zips found in system/customize/resource in the flashable rom's in the dev subforum.

open a command window and go to where android sdk tools are, or wherever an adb.exe is (in the tools you used to root for example)

put the bootanimation.zip file that you wish to use in the same folder that adb.exe is in.

Make sure usb debugging is checked under settings>applications>development and your dhd is plugged in and set to 'charge only'

Once you're in the path where abd is located in the command prompt

run the following commands to push the new bootanimation.zip

adb remount

adb push boot.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip

adb reboot

your device will reboot and if its a proper format then you'll see the boot animation.

... or you can always change to a different rom ;)
[Galaxy S II General] ignign0kt:
When I record audio in WhatsApp, the sound is very compressed and noisy.

Recording using the phone's default Voice Recording app records fine and sounds great. This only happens inside WhatsApp. When my friend records something on his iphone to send over WhatsApp, it sounds great... crystal clear.

I can record using the Voice Recorder app, and then share it via WhatsApp, but the person receiving it cannot play it.

Could someone else download WhatsApp and try recording an attachment?

The compression/distortion is much more noticeable when recording something other than a voice, like a guitar.

edit: I emailed their support and they said they have no such issue
[Galaxy S II General] hank00k:
Well your still a step ahead of me, I can't get Whatsapp to record what so ever, even when I record a video with it it comes out with no audio at all. As far as I know this only happens in Whatsapp, all my other apps can use the mic.

So yes there is an issue with it.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] ignign0kt:
Are you using a custom ROM?

Maybe that affects it for some reason. Like I said their support tested it with a GS2 when I emailed them and they said it recorded and sent fine in normal quality.

I'm using Congnition 1.15

Can someone else please try?
[Galaxy S II General] hank00k:
Mines all stock, not even rooted. So I couldn't have crippled it.

Honestly I don't have any use for it so I didn't really try and find what's wrong.

Like you I was testing Whatsapp with an iPhone and the audio I received from it was crystal clear but what ever I send comes out blank with nothing to hear. It's like it can't use the mic.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] ignign0kt:
I feel like their support might not even be able to notice the difference in compression lol.

It makes no sense that it would compress it on my phone but not on theirs
[Galaxy S II General] hank00k:
Lol well maybe to them it sounds normal when it's compressed. :-P

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] ignign0kt:
Yeah, I even told them to record the same thing in WhatsApp and in Voice Recorder and they claimed it sounded the same :rolleyes:

That's why I'm asking you fine gents to test for me
[Galaxy S II General] hank00k:
Well I just reinstalled whatsapp and surprisingly enough the audio works now and I can confirm that whatsapp seems to compress the file cuz the quality isn't as good as the stock voice recorder, but it's not that bad imo.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] ignign0kt:
if you're just recording your voice its not that bad. But anything else sounds awful

I tried recording my guitar and it sounded abysmal
[Galaxy S II General] hank00k:
Yea probably. Well I guess the best thing to do is just use some other service in the mean time. Doesn't look like they'll fix it anytime soon.

Cheers bud.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] ignign0kt:
I realized that it sounds just as compressed if I use a 3rd party voice recording app

I wonder why the stock recorder app has perfect quality audio while 3rd party apps sound like crap

is it like an API/driver thing?
[Galaxy S II General] hank00k:
Hmm it might be an Api or driver but I think they're all compressing it to decrease file size and thus traffic on their servers. Cuz for instance if you send a photo it doesn't send it with the full resolution but lowers it to maintain file size. So i'm guessing they do the same to audio files.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] ignign0kt:
Nah it happens with any App that isn't the stock Voice Recorder app

I guess it's special

I flashed MIUI and nothing records with the same quality as Samsung's app

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalibar:
Got a Droid Inc off craigslist for my buddy, who threw CM7 on it. He's getting really poor battery life out of it -- less than day with what he and I would define as pretty light usage. So we're trying to determine if he should buy a new battery for it, or if this is just how things are with the Droid Inc. He's coming from an AT&T Nexus One that also ran CM7. Obviously the Droid Inc uses a bit more juice and packs a bit smaller battery, but this discrepancy seems pretty high.

His phone is the SLCD version, so it really can't be more than a year old, can it? Do you guys have any recommendations on how to diagnose the health of the battery itself so we can figure out if it's even worth replacing?

Our comedy option is replacing it with the Seidio 1750 mAh battery, but reviews seem really mixed on Amazon. Widespread reports of the phone heating up and a really wimpy warranty from Seidio. Anyone have any feedback on this?

Thanks much.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeBaKai:
If he is willing, he should try Miui. You get great battery life and smooth performance from it (been testing it all week, so I know).

If not try out some different Kernels, see if that helps. I would recommend some, but I am not familiar with CM7, so I wouldn't know what works best with it.

Hope I helped,
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
From my expierience MIUI is comparable to CM7.

Make sure he isn't overclocking, and definately use chad's incredikernel. The one provided with CM7 does tend to suck more power. Also options to flash lower voltages with chad's incredikernel.

If you are planning to get a new battery, go with an official HTC battery. There is one designed for the HTC EVO that is 1500MAH or go with a 1900mAh battery (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1134076)

Both of the above will fit in the stock casing, though some say the 1900mAh is a little snug but still completely snaps on in the back. I personally have the 1900mAh and I think it's a great buy and would suggest you pick it up if you're looking for more battery life without compromising your phones size.

Possible the guy bump-charged that battery to death or did other things that made that battery hard to keep a charge.

Another thing to note is that once you install a new ROM or Kernel, you should *always* wait 2-3 days for your phone to fully calibrate the battery. Often times it doesn't full charge after you first flash a ROM because your phone thinks the battery is smaller than what it is, so it'll discharge quickly. You can speed up this process by fully discharging all the way down to 0% then charging it all the way back up. Don't do this often as it's potentially damaging to the long-term life of the battery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeBaKai:
OR you could do one of the following:

"Remember when trying new kernels for best results.. Charge until green, then boot into recovery, then advanced and wipe battery stats, then power off and let charge until green and good to go. This gets the results without waiting 3 or 4 days of charging. Also you wont see the unplug and go from 100% to 83% in 15 minutes."

"Actually, to recalibrate, this is what I'd recommend.

Charge the phone to 100%

Turn it off. The LED will turn red again, wait for it to turn back to green.

Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.

Reboot, then unplug."

That was the advice I was given for my thread. I haven't tried them yet myself, but they sound like good things to do.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistah_mumford:

Thanks for the detailed response, POQbum. I think this gives us a good place to start out; that's pretty awesome that you can shove a 1900 mAh Evo battery in there.

Can you only boot into recovery mode if rooted?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeBaKai:
No you can normal boot if you want.

Yes, if you're wanting to do something like wipe the battery stats. I could be wrong but I don't think there's a way to do that without being rooted.
