I hope...

Hey, I'm really sorry if this is in the wrong thread.

I just ran across something. I tried flashing the PC10IMG, but someone told me it should reboot twice and I should have the stock splash screen. Didn't go that way... Looks like only the Bootloader changed, and I can now flash the Virtuous Unity ROMS so yea. First of all does anyone know what's wrong?

Also I'm just guessing that the flashing process was interrupted before it could get to the splash and radio partitions or something, and I need to reflash HBOOT, Could flashing the same Hboot brick your device?

Thanks in advance!

Same Question here i want to play with Sense but how i go back to the G2 bootloader?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ryandaneri:
Does the dz hboot effect performance (aosp)? When more memory is added to the rom memory does it effect your ram? And does the dz hboot effect tmobile in any way? I want to run the new sense roms but not at a lose of performance to any other roms..thank you. Oh and thanks button pressed, I read other posts and this guide is very easy to understand and user friendly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
There will be no lose in performance your total RAM will not be affected. The only difference is that your data partiton (were market apps go) will be smaller and the system partiton (where the Rom goes) will be bigger.

It won't affect the way your device works, things like WiFi calling will still work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ryandaneri:
Thank ya kindly. Gonna give this a shot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ryandaneri:
So I'm reading these posts why would you go back to g2 hboot from dz? Is there any reasons besides internal app memory?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
If I have do a backup through clockwork recovery and then switch to the DZ hboot, will I be able to restore that backup that I made on the G2 hboot?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdWRX:
Great guide, will eventually do it because I also want to try those sweet sense 3.0 roms out there, without the use of adb.

But with the dzhboot will I be able to flash cm7 back again, or the sense 2.X roms?

Thanks in advance
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
You will be able to flash any rom. The only difference will be that your data partition will be smaller and system partition bigger. So less room for apps :)

OK when it says to check ur SD card for a zip called PC10img does that mean anywhere in the name or a file where that is its sole name? Cuz the perferred raido link saved with pc10img at the end..... do I delete that?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cwalton4077:
OK so I switched SD card downloaded the hzboot changed it to PC10IMG.zip and moved it to. /sdcard then went to bootloader and when it scanned for updates it kept saying no image or wrong image..... what do I need to do about that ?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cwalton4077:
I'm still getting no image wrong image in bootloader.... can someone tell me what has to be done to fix this
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RavenFB:
Alright, my apologies to those who have had unanswered questions and dead links here. My laptop took a dump last month, and the battery in my G2 failed a few days later. Since I drive a truck for a living, it ended up being close to a month before I got home to get the replacement battery that was shipped to me. Anyhow, G2 is working again, but the laptop is, unfortunately, still dead.

CWalton: first, I hope you have already solved this problem, and I aplogize that I have not been able to help earlier. As to your first question, you do not want a file named, "PC10IMG.zip", precisely this. It can contain this name, as in "radioxxx.PC10IMG.zip" and be safe.

As to why your file is coming up as a wrong image? Not really sure. Perhaps it is a bad MD5. Honestly, I should have recorded MD5 sum for that file and posted it. It was an oversight on my part. I suggest downloading it again. I'll post a proper MD5 sum for the hboot file a bit later. Hopefully, this can help prevent any future issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cwalton4077:
No I didn't salve it I gave up on it. This is the first time j have been back. Ill download it and try it again and let you know. Sorry about ur phone and laptop that's a bummer.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptaylor09:
i renamed it PC10IMG.zip and in bootloader it just says parsing Img then stops. it wont flash/install it. it just takes me back to the main bootload menu.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptaylor09:
Maybe a stupid question but if you downloaded from your computer and renamed it to PC10IMG.zip then your phone will see it ad PC10IMG.zip.zip, so when you rename it on your PC, it needs to be PC10IMG (no .zip cuz it's already in .zip type.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bombadier:
Ok sorry that it did not work,that was the eng hboot.img I used when I rooted my phone (used the gfree method) and thought that you could just put it in PC10IMG.zip so the bootloader could read it.

This has the addition of an android info.txt which the bootloader must need,just tried it in bootloader and it read the zip and asked if I want to update

PC10IMG.zip
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptaylor09:
Thanks again. It worked!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atesz79:
Hi!

I need some help!

I want to sell my phone, so I want to go back to stock rom.

I downloaded wwe rom ruu installer and started the update process.

Something wrong is happened and my phone now is on half way the stock and rooted.

The bootloader and the fastboot is accesibble, but the phone is doesn't boot.

Recovery not accessible and the security is on. (S-ON)

I tried to repeat the ruu install, but it doesn't succesfull. Error 155 Unknown Error.

I tried to install many ruu versions, but nothing.

I copied out from the ruu installers the rom.zip and I put to sdcard renamed PB99IMG.zip.

The bootlader read the zip file and then checking but after go back to normal menu. No option for update.

I read lot of forums, but I can't find the solution. I don't have more ideas.

Somebody can help me?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
If you have a goldcard then flash the latest RUU, if you haven't follow this process to create the goldcard:

boot into fastboot, then type:

fastboot oem gencheckpt

this will reboot the phone into recovery,

then type:

adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1*/cid

This will give you a CID, which you need to copy down meticulously.

Then once you have the number, follow this guide. (you will obviously have to skip the bit of the guide where he is getting the CID - because you already have it)

NOTE: Because the flashing process didn't complete, there is a chance that the phone will not boot into recovery as it may be damaged, and it will not be possible to create a goldcard.

If it does work however, once you've got the goldcard flash the latest WWE RUU

OH... okay.... lol eerrmmmm maybe we could try and push the RUU manually...

Extract the rom.zip from the latest WWE RUU

Once you have copied it to your desktop shutdown the RUU

in c:\ click create new folder and name it RUU

put the rom.zip in the RUU folder

plug your phone in and open command prompt and type

fastboot oem gencheckpt

wait until phone boots recovery

adb shell reboot oem-78
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flashzip C:\RUU\rom.zip
fastboot reboot

strong chance it won't work with s-on

Sounds like your friend might be out of options, unless somebody uploads a flashable bb which hasn't happened yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Check under About Phone, and see if there's a Baseband. If there is, then he should try a Factory Reset.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krekabl:
See if there is a baseband. If yes, then it's problably solvable. If not unfortunately you'll have to return the phone because no one has managed yet to put a flashable version of baseband. Sorry, but that's the truth. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Maris_:
That happened to my purely stock phone and there was nothing to be done but send it in for repair. The good news is it went pretty quick and while running it through some tests they discovered it had a bad touch screen (which I never knew about) and replaced that as well. I now have my phone back and so far so good. Everything is working great.

I know it's a pain to be without your phone, but I'm very glad I sent it off now. It was probably just a matter of time before I discovered the touchscreen problem, so I feel I came out ahead. It's like a brand new phone all over again, only this time it works!

rooting is being in command over what flavour of roms you run or eg downloading apps from the internet and installing in your fone. hope this tickles your brain abit.

Its an outstanding ROM. but if you just dont like the design asthetics of sense then no you wont like it.

but all the problems people say they have with sense is eliminated in the rom

I am running Supreme Sense which is based of Mikshift-G (as i said in the review lol) and at 72% battery life i am going 8 hours and 8 min (reading it off my phone as i type) with wifi going the whole time, gps, lots of texts a few voice calls and LOTS of web browsing.

The lag people expierence with sense is compltley gone it runs great and smooth just as fast as AOSP. Some apps may take half a second more to load tho

and you gotta love the sense 3 lockscreen haha
[EVO Shift 4G General] saiyandide:
Thanks notsointeresting, I just got this phone and have been wondering what way I wanted to go on it in terms of what rom to put on it. I am coming from a Samsung Transform so almost any rom is going to run faster and smoother then the best rom and kernal package could give me on the transform. Based on your review I am trying the MikShift-G Sense 1.4 so far so good really enjoy the sense feel and look. Thinking of trying Supreme Sense but would like to find a video of it before going through the trouble of downloading it and setting it up.

Not to hijack the thread but could you tell me even in a PM your review of kernals available?
[EVO Shift 4G General] notsointeresting:
Believe me I would love to haha. But unless your on an AOSP rom your SOL (sadly out of luck haha) because HTC has not provided the source code for the evo shift yet so developers can not make kernels. It's a serious GPL violation an people (including me) have been sending tweets and posting on twitters face book wall saying something like ( @HTC We still need you to release the source code for the EVO Shift 4G #GPL #Android) they will have to release it soon though and I'm thinking when that time comes I might make a dedicated thread for kernel and roms and put my reviews and information on them and let people leave reviews or what not. But that would depend on if people where interested.

Yeah, i hear ya on that... Without 4G I wouldn't have a cell phone... Where I live my 4G is sometimes worse than 3G speeds... My 3G is usually at 1x speeds and my talk varies... For all that I've tried Evervolv and it messed up my phone. Hated it. I currently use the Cyanogen Nightlies. They for me offer the best of everything. Speed, customization, battery life... With the theme chooser they can look basically how ever you want. With beautiful widgets you can get some sense like widgets and others. Many launcher options. I use ADW and its a perfect blend of stability and customization. I've heard very good things about Shift deck. In my opinion sense is super slow compared to AOSP. People have said that the Mikshift G runs like AOSP. But to me, i can see the difference. So I'm gonna vote for plain and simple cyanogen

Guys the app by which you can play games using PLAYSTATION 3 controller is out.

Compadable with x10 :):)

http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/about.html

The site is the official app site and they say:

Due to the non-standard protocol that the controllers use to communicate with the host, this application requires root access. Additionally, it is incompatible with most HTC devices and some newer Samsung devices. This is due to the required bluetooth protocol not being implemented on these devices. We are actively looking into a work around, but currently the only solution is to install a custom firmware, such as Cyanogenmod, that supports the required protocols.

At the time only emuator games can be played.
