Ok. I see your problem now. nv_flash is dangerous because it is a raw flash utility that will essentially wipe out anything on the flash unit of your device. The upside is that it's baked into the CPU so you can never lose the ability to NV_flash even if you completely bork the ROM.

First, download this: http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/roach2010/flash_roms/prime_v1.4.tar.bz2

This is the actual ROM image you will need.

Next, download this: http://www.filefactory.com/file/ccda97c/n/nvflash.zip

This is the nvflash utility for windows that will do the heavy lifting. It should also contain the apx drivers for your device.

Now:

Unzip the second zip somewhere that is easy to find.

Unzip the contents of the first zip into the same folder as the download.bat file from the second zip. There should be a boot.img and a system.img (and maybe more, I can't recall)

If your device is powered on, turn it off.

Plug your device in and simultaneously hold Power and Volume UP (this is sort of tricky, I know)

When the device shows up in windows, go to your device manager and manually install the drivers from the nvflash folder for the 'APX device that appeared' they will be in the usbpcdriver directory in that second zip.

With the APX drivers installed, run download.bat and wait. Your device should indicate that it is writing the partitions. When done it will turn off and reset.

Voila. You should be all better now.

Awesome thanks.

Now when I use winrar to unzip the 1.4 it only has one file. System.img is that right?

Also I completed your steps already if that is correct, by reading the other responses. But now I'm stuck loading hc to it. I did do a wipe and now it is just continually rebooting. I put a clockwork zip file on the microsdcard as well as a Ultimate edition revenge as Iassumed thats what I need.

I need to boot to cwm and load hc to it right. What are those steps? Man I feel like a total noob. I think I'll make instructions for all this and request it be a sticky.

Edit, doing some research.

I don't know how important these instructions are with the advent of new technology, and ways to root but do I first need to complete Step 2 in this thread first?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] sassafras_:
No. The NV_Flash tool is so dangerous because it completely ignores the Android OS. You can literally flash anything you want with NV_Flash and no root or preparation in Android is possible or required.

The .zip that contains the system.img should also contain these two files:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10724980/nvflash/recovery.img

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10724980/nvflash/boot.img

Put those along with system.img in the same folder as the nvflash file.

Also, make sure these two files are in that folder as well:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10724980/nvflash/flash.cfg

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10724980/nvflash/transformer.bct

With all six of the files (the four I linked plus system.img and nvflash) run the download.bat file again with the transformer in apx mode.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] proplayer44:
Awesome awesome awesome. That worked and was successful.

So then I put prime 1.6 on the card and successfully booted into CWM. YAAAAA!!!

I installed prime 1.6 successfully and choose to reboot. It then loaded on the eeepad screen with a blue bar going across. But now it just stays at the eee pad screen again. But I know I'm close because "powered by Nvidia Tegra" is back at the bottom.

So I must need to load something else here right to actually load hc?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sassafras_:
haha. You fixed it then broke it again what a hopeless wreck. :)

Re-download 1.6 and check the MD5 against what is in the first post to make sure it's not corrupt then flash it again in recovery. Make sure you also wipe your dalvik-cache and cache before you try to boot.

sassafras
[Eee Pad Transformer General] proplayer44:
Ok I downloaded some MD5 check software and ran it and it compared the newest downloaded prime 1.6zip with the number in the prime 1.6 thread and they were the same. After reflashing 1.6 again I cleared both caches and rebooted but I'm still at the same spot. No boot.

When you first said I fixed it and rebroke it I thought, huh, because I tried to boot up after running the download.bat but it also stayed at the asus screen. I then installed the 1.6.

Now in the beginning, I'm talking about last night I went into the other linux option by not choosing volume up in the first 5 seconds and I accidentally choose the wipe option because my finger slipped on the volume toggle. Could that have something to do with it?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sassafras_:
Maybe, but honestly, the point of the nvflash file is to wipe it fresh, even if you wiped it out entirely.

Maybe start again from APX mode with the 1.4 set of files (ensure that system.img is good. That's the real important one. Download it again just for good measure). Get it to boot in 1.4 first before you go trying any funny business.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ElAguila:
I downloaded and installed the lastest version of htc sync that is listed for my View. I wanted to sync my email with the email account that I set up on the View. The install went fine with no problems. I connected my view and selected the Sync option. Then the tablet displays "Finding HTC sync on your pc". But it never finds it. I have it running on my pc and it says no device connected. After a minute or so I get an error on my View that says it was unable to find htc sync on my pc. The sync software 3.0.5557. I am running windows 7 home premium x64 on my pc.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ElAguila:
I removed the software and rebooted and installed again and this time it picked up the view. But it will not sync the email. Only the calendar and contacts from my outlook will sync. I guess you have to have an exchange account to sync the mail. For some reason I thought on the older phones I was able to sync the email.

Hi,

I have got a new MTNL 3G connection (I am from India), and am trying to use the USB Tether option to browse and download from the internet. However, when I leave my phone / computer to idle, the connection drops. I was earlier on Froyo (2.2) and am now on CM 7 version 6.5.5.

Does anyone have the same problem? Is there a solution?

I have tried keeping the screen awake, screen timeout options etc. Have tried PDAnet and Auto USB Tether too.

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks

[HTC Sensation] yyhd:
So my wife needs a new phone.

I have been very keen of the HTC Sensation and been finding an excuse to pick one up. Her new phone is just another new toy for me!

I know HTC will soon release an unlocked bootloader for the Sensation, which makes me wanna pick up one of these babies even more!

But with the released of Moto Droid3, I am itching to play with one of these too! I used to have the Atrix, and I terribly HATE motoblur. People have been saying Motoblur has improved with the D3 though.

Overall, I am still more likely to pick up the HTC Sensation, but I just wanna hear some of your thoughts between the two devices.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
The Droid 3 seems to have a really weak antenna for a Moto phone. In the Verizon store it switched over to 1X where nearly all of the other phones stayed on a weak 3G signal.
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
I'd take the Sensation in a heartbeat. The newest Motoblur is way improved over what it used to be, but it's still ugly.
[HTC Sensation] yyhd:
Thanks for the responses!

This is true. I have never been too fond of the Droid/2/3 series look and design. In fact, I personally have a disdain for physical keyboards too!

But the plus side of the Droid3 is it works in China and it works on Verizon. We travel back and forth frequently as both our jobs require us to.

We are on Verizon back home too.

But also, I think if we pick up at Droid3, we wouldn't be getting the Verizon model, which leaves us with Milestone 3. And I'm not sure if Milestone 3 will work on Verizon.

In China we are on China Unicom.
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
I would definitely skip the Milestone. Motorola is real slow when it comes to updating overseas (outside of US) phones.
[HTC Sensation] yyhd:
oh really? this i did NOT know.

Good to know. Motorola isn't the greatest in updating even in the US.

Alright, HTC Sensation it is.

Thanks, heygrl.
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
Yeah the original milestone has a horrible update history, identical to the DROID which was updated quick and often.

The US DEFY got 2.2.1, overseas models didn't get it and if they did it was months after.

i'm using the stock sprint rom and the usb cord is brand new i brought it from the t-mobile store yesterday
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qasimja:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Use a different usb port, and try a different pc.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naimmkassim:
Under setting>>wireless & network>>usb setting which do you choose? This option is important as your usb cord function depend on the selection of usb option. If you choose kies samsung, make sure you have the software install on your PC. If mass storage, make sure your have SD card inside and its not corrupted.

The battery with the x red cross i think is normal each time you connect it to PC. If you connect it to AC plug, then the x cross will not show.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubbajer2003:
Ok there is a similar post on this. Plug tablet in and charge it. While tablet is charging unplug your pc and then reboot it up to reset the usb ports. take your tablet and connect usb cable to pc. Ensure you have the samsung usb drivers loaded. Put your tablet in download mode and using odin try reflashing. You can try this if you don't have a second pc.

Hello guys I have a question or maybe a problem....

When my phone is on the table (I'm not touching it) and type *#*#4636#*#* enter the phone info screen my signal srenght is different from the signal strength when I have it in my hand...

There is a difference like 10-15 db is it normal or my phone has a problem

like iphone4 deathgrip...
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
Normal hand attentuation. Your phone's antenna has to pull the signal through your hand.. Try to not block the antenna as much as possible.

The phone could also be on a weaker cell site or sector and is waiting for the signal to degrade to a certain point before it switches over to the stronger signal.. Happens often.
[HTC Sensation] Mad_Wolf:
thanks for the reply

but does this happen to every phone

because I dont remember something like that to happen at my nokia or sony eric...
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
which Sony Ericsson/Nokia?

I know the TM506 has an antenna at the top half of the phone so your hand doesn't block the signal nearly as much as it would if it was at the bottom. Some Nokia phones, especially the old ones had the same design of the antenna at the top.

Are you on the 4G or 2G network?
[HTC Sensation] Mad_Wolf:
For example nokia 5800 xm

3g network
[HTC Sensation] Mad_Wolf:
so this is normal ? I dont get it if you are with 1 bar you get 0 bars when you hold the phone ....
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
1 bar is not a strong signal to begin with. It's normal. The 3G network isn't as strong as the GSM network so the 5800 XM automatically had better reception because it was on the stronger GSM network and not the HSPA network.. unless you're not on T-Mobile USA?
[HTC Sensation] Mad_Wolf:
I live in turkey

And as I know nokia 5800 xm also has 3g reception...

so the same must happen to nokia ?

I had honeybadger cm7 nand on my android and decided to switch to typhoon cm7 cause I was told it would be more stable. I followed the guide carefully and when everything was finished and I went to restart my device it wouldn't go past the blue android when booting up. Please help
[HD2 General] htccraze:
how long did you wait? some ROMs can take 10-15 mins to fully boot up. some say even longer but i've tried just about them all and haven't came across one that was over about 15 mins. plus if you didnt partition your phone or sd correctly (if the ROM called for it) then it could get stuck on the boot screen as well. the HD2 NAND Toolkit is rather useful if you need to partition your phone. you can find that here. i personally like minitool partition software which makes partitioning your sd card very simply to do and you can get that here.

you should know that you need to make sure you flash the correct ROMs to your phone because if you flash one thats not meant for your phone you could ruin it for good. i know that when your first learning this process it can be very frustrating but if you take some notes and be patient you'll fully understand everything in a short time.
[HD2 General] wolfbeast93:
I actually waited for about 2 minutes, wasn't aware you're suppose to wait longer. Should I try to reflash and wait for 15 minutes?

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
I regularly get typhoon not getting past the boot animation on first boot, even with all the partitions cleared, I just leave it a few mins,(two,three) then pull the battery and it generally starts.

If you are planning to selectively restore ext and/or data you should clean boot the fresh flash all the way and then reboot and perform the restore.
[G2 and Desire Z General] htc420:
I just got a brand new battery from tmobile and my new replacement g2 today. I'm not sure how I should properly charge it. The tmo rep told me to fully charge it, and drain it once... then charge it like you regularly would. but I've read a few threads in the general forum and others suggested that this method is bad for the lion batteries and is not necessary.

What is the right way to do it? I just want to make sure I get the most out of this free new battery. Thanks

Edit: also, should I turn on the phone and then fully charge it or should I just leave the phone turned off and plug it in to charge? Does it really matter?

Wirefly has always offered great deals but when they can sell the same device at %20 of the price you have to wonder why VZW demands such a hefty price.

VZW must have some pretty good kickbacks now that they have there limited Data services which will definitely pull in some megabucks.
