I plugged it in and my backlight keys are just blinking, tried doing the vol up thing and all that but nothing....... my stomach is upside down.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
also even though its not in download mode odin still found it, is it safe without being in download mode?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Pleaseeeeee somebody !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
1. Power off phone and remove battery, then open odin on your pc

2. Hold volume down and THEN connect phone to pc, your phone should have the yellow android triangle on the screen and odin should recognize it if you have the drivers installed and say COM something in the first blank box at the top

3. Let go of volume button and put battery back in, then proceed to add your files (also check the "Re-Partition" box and uncheck "Auto Reboot")

4. Press Start and let it run, when it's done unplug it from your pc and remove battery

5. Put battery back in and power on

Now you'll be completely stock and can proceed from there

[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
When i plug it in all i get is the flashing keys! its not reading it unless the battery is in and its in the recovery that its stuck in.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
So its not safe to just do it in recovery? anything else? cause the yellow triangle and shovel man isnt working for me
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
In other words in saying i cant get to download mode cause all it does is the flashing keys.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
no it won't work unless it's in download mode, stock recovery isn't good for anything

edit: your keys shouldn't be flashing, the phone must be connected with the battery out and the volume up button held in (it may take up to a minute)

this is maybe what you're missing and why it won't connect, get the drivers here:

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SCH-I510RAAVZW
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Okay i had the triangle on and working but unplugged it cause odin wasnt reading it, downloading drivers now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
ok good just install them and try the steps I posted earlier, it'll work... it's really hard to break samsung phones through rooting/hacking like this so don't worry, people here will try and help and look for solutions
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Okay sounds good! So far the drivers are taking awhile,

but odin has read it and its in downloaing mode. just waiting for the drivers to finish.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
drivers should be installed first, I'd maybe unplug it until they're done but yeah that's what its supposed to be doing
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Even though everything is ready im not going to start untill these slow drivers are finished. just to be safe.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Okay i unplugged it and im still able to do triangle too so i guess whatever it was, was in the driver package that i needed. Looking good so far. Just want to say thank you for following through, i was losing hope.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
yeah once the drivers are done start from step one again, you're probably gonna have to unplug it
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Okay cool, still taking awhile, check back in in about 5 or so lol again thank you, any donates for you? you deserve something
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
no its alright dude send a donation to one of our awesome rom developers, I work for thanks lol...

oh yeah one small edit to my instructions, just tried it and download mode is volume down (I think I said up) when connecting to pc, shoveling android that says Downloading... underneath is the right screen and you can proceed from there
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Lol okay thanks man but i think you did say up, thats what i was doing at first lol

but still downloading drivers ugh, my fiancee is going to be so mad at me.

I really think this will all go through though. the file is nice and large i got the pit file

so its looking good. damn drivers are driving me insane!!!!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
We have amazing developers in all sections! Love em!
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
the phone drivers aren't that big of a file, it shouldn't take that long to download... you mean the rom package? thats the big file lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Nope its the drivers alright, did this before even rooting and it took about a half an hour. stupid windows 7. never liked the update enyways
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
here's my copy if it helps:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34782489/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_I510_v1.3.1900.0.exe
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Okay so drivers alll in and plugged in but no triangle again, trying a few things like plugging in while in recovery so it can get the drivers going.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
well if it worked before you put the drivers in you could always just uninstall them and try again and see if that works
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Im going to try rebooting the computer first cause that may be it.

Give me a sec man, again thank you
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Reboot computer didnt work lol, ummm anything else?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
IT FAILED!!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
It failed twice, then it removed both times, i try turning it on and i get (phone icon).....(triangle).....(computer icon) <---- looks like that. I think its bricked now :( please tell me you have a bunch of tricks my magician !!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
I found out for the shovel man to show up, i must have attempted flashing a rom first, cant do it without attempting that. but now its worse than before. im not getting anothing but that screen i told you about.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
so no download mode anymore? did you try maybe uninstalling drivers and trying it again since it worked before
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Okay i put the battery in, then tried to go to triangle shovel and i got it.

Took the battery out and ran odin files,

o succeed 0 fail it says and its instant every time i press start
[Verizon Droid Charge] docalex:
Did you put the battery back in after you got to download mode before running odin?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
hmm my phone's done that a few times, yeah technically thats a soft brick but the phone's not done for... I'm trying to remember what I did to get that and get out of it
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
keep the battery in for odin but uncheck the "Auto Reboot" option

edit: it should be the other way around, battery out and connect to pc then battery back in to start odin
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Okay heres the thing, we figured out that when your stuck in recovery and you cant boot up, you must have attempted flashing a rom before you can get the yellow man shovel.

Also, If you got the soft brick like me, and end up with those icons.... remove the battery, place battery back in and hold volume down then plug in. it will find it and run the stock files.

I got a couple fails at first but i guess it had to be soft bricked before accepting anything, odin is very picky id have to say.

Disclaimer is the usual

Thanks dude! it says pass and my phone says download complete, SAFE TO UNPLUG?

I will make a how to thread on this cause this is the new way with the new files for ee4 im guessing, or if you had a bad flash.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Another thing, this reboot will look scary cause of the screen light up and off and you will see yellow wording but it was too fast for me to read lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
yes this is true, a bad flash will result in a boot loop or booting straight to stock recovery... odining a stock rom is the only way to fix

battery is supposed to be out when connecting to pc to try and get download mode but I suppose it works

yes odin is picky when it comes to the Charge lol.. yes if the flash was successful its ok to unplug it, remove battery then put it back in and turn it on
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
yeah first boot after odining a rom the phone needs to format/clean itself and reinstall/start software before it starts that's what the yellow text is
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Correct! All credit is due to the man above! lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
yeah I went through this so many times as a hacking newb on my previous phone (Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate) that its like second nature to know what to do on the Charge, given that most samsung phones use similar procedures to hack/root

is it working right now?

what launcher are you running? and which version of Vegan?

MOst of their stuff comes with VTL Launcher preinstalled as the default launcher. Any ADW theme from the market can be applied to VTL launcher.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] barqers:
I didn't realize it was adw! thank you :) ill check them out!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] aabbondanza:
It's not adw, but it' based on the adw source code. It was developed by gojimi who also developed the VeGAN TAB roms.

Since it's based on adw, it can use most if not all adw themes. A couple links for when you get bored.

[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
Just wondering what you all thought about the outlook of this phones development....I know its early but....do you all think its gonna be booming or dead when we get the bootloader unlocked.

Kinda nice taking a break from crack flashing IMO.
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
Side question is anyone working on breaking the bootloader
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
*hears crickets*
[Motorola Photon 4G] tx_dbs_tx:
Oops I just stepped on one of your crickets LOL! If only some of the development knew how good this photon actually is... this is one rock solid piece of equipment and would be a monster with some good development behind it! Omg it would be awesome if the bootloader could be unlocked!

I have my doubts that the photon will have much if any device support. There are a lot of development for HTC devices but Motorola has been slower to gaining as much popularity. Truth is this photon is the best piece of hardware I've ever owned! Plus with the Nvidia Tetra 2, 16gb internal memory, AWESOME radios and AWESOME speakers/call quality, this phone should be on the priority list for bootloader unlocking and root. How can we help push the envelope to get some development interested in jumping onboard with the Motorola Photon?
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
Looks to me like there is already a decent amount of developers here. I think once there is an unlocked bootloader the scene will blow up. This phone has too much potential to just let it sit as is. I mean, it got root done in 2-3 days from release.

Think no one is in a big hurry since there are talks of an official update coming soon which could reset things (even destroy root).
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
First thing they need to do is figure out a way to root without the need for a docking station in the mean time.

Once Motorola unlocks the bootloader, then things will pick up and more development can occur on the phone. I am sure there are many potential developers that are going to jump on board once this happens. It is very hard for developers to test out ROMs or custom kernels without an unlocked bootloader and the source code. I myself am frustrated as well but I will be happy with just being able to root for now without a docking station.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DssTrainer:
yea.. Motorola is really holding back sales on this thing.. if the bootloader was unlocked, this would easily be as popular as the Evo OG
[Motorola Photon 4G] redhatter:
You will see development for one major reason if no other ...it is a world phone i.e. CDMA/GSM

While their are other dual core 4g android phones.... the Photon can do something no others dual core 4g android phone can do right now.... run on both CDMA/GSM networks... that will motivate if just to unblock the radios for the US GSM networks...The "cool" of a two network phone motivates the geekest geeks and beats 3d any day...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
I was thinking about trying to get team win involved, or at least asking. Don't think it would hurt much. Who knows if anyone from there even has a photon, but they did a kick ass job on the 3vo. Anyone already try getting ahold of them already?

-Dj
[Motorola Photon 4G] Pete720:
Does Motorola have the intent to unlock the Photon?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
I don't think so bud. If it does happen, doubt it will be this year. Real talk

[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
just because you don't see the section flooded with roms like the evo doesn't mean developments aren't being made...
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
I have been really happy with this phone just the way it is. With past phones I was always flashing roms. But then I went to the Atrix forum and watched a video of cm7 running on it. All I can say is Wow! Can't wait.

[Motorola Photon 4G] flipper12:
Hope the momentum builds....

...and more and more developers start working on this phone. When I got my EVO, I came from the Moment and it was nice having a device that had 10X the support that the Moment had. I do hope that the Photon won't be like the Moment in that the only people who are working on developing for this phone are the ones who appreciate it's hardware.

In any event, I'm still waiting for the Photon to be released to employees (work for Sprint) and hope this phone gets at least half the attention the EVO received.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
I got 30 days to return this ****. They better unlock this **** by the 27th day..otherwise im downgrading to the nexus s 4g. Sigh

I got 24 days till mine then I'm going to htc evo 3D
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
Y downgrade if theres no dev'ng? smh
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
Well we need to get a bounty thread going asap or something. && id downgrade to the nexus because its still awsome and new with alot of support! Its the only non htc phone im interested in.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
I don't get what you expect the developers to do when the phone has a locked bootloader. There is not much they can do until the bootloader is unlocked. Sure the devs could look at the Atrix code to find out ideas about what to do but it doesn't help the Photon since its a different ROM.

I think devs should focus on finding a method to root without the need for a webtop dock. I would be really interested in that since I don't have the webtop dock.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
I wonder if this phone is NFC compatible, I mean echo has it soooo....

Anyways, just because your beautiful girlfriend inside and out has a ugly laugh doesn't mean you should break up with her....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
....really...lmao. I guess if you dated a ***** for 27 days only to find out she had a **** ...you'd continue dating her right?... Anyways. A bounty could purchase a few phones for many "recognized" xda developers that are unable to purchase the phone in order to exploit/develope for it you feel mr. And mind you a bounty has yet fail here on xda. Their always successful!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jjday7:
Although I like this phone, root would be icing on the cake. I got my phone yesterday to try it out and it seems rock solid so far. I have no bugs like some other people have reported. The only thing I can say that root would help with is the lag on the home screen. I did a hard reset and it helped but it's just not as smooth as my Evo. If I had to guess it will take time for root to come and for developers to move over to this phone. It makes it hard when everyone bows down to the Evo 3d and acts as if no other phone is godly enough.

I tried the 3d and it has nothing on how solid this phone really is.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yogi3:
I may not be the smartest at this phone modification stuff but I find it stupid when people ask questions about when development is going to happen and don't give ideas or contribute to the process. And those saying well i'll just move to the 3D well did you all forget it wasn't until a week and a half or 2 that it unlocked and until Monday that HTC gave the option to unlock via the dev site the made. Now lets also remember the phone had been out for about a month or so.

The NFC rumor in the Echo was debunked. Was a mistake in listing for the update.

[Motorola Photon 4G] thekarens:
Apparently you don't have a mother, wife, sister or daughter since it's apparent you have zero respect for women.

The difference here is you knew good and well what you were getting when you bought it and Moto has not said they would be unlocking anything soon. They said something about by the end of the year.

[Motorola Photon 4G] HYDE1000:
Personally, I wouldn't. I got a 3D on launch day and a Photon earlier this week and I already like the Photon better. The call volume on the 3D was just horrible for me, it would go into roam at least once a day in places where I never had issues before and the smaller screen makes more difference than I thought it would.

Besides, isn't the bootloader on the 3D still locked? And there is a small dev community for that phone too. So, I am not sure what you would gain by making the switch.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
3d boot loader is unlocked, and they have a huge dev community. But ya

, I bought the 3d on launch day, and I like the photon better too. But wish we had the development that the 3d has.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScandaLeX:
lmaooooooooo!!!!!! :d
[Motorola Photon 4G] evolart:
I'm still trying to decide if I want to wait for the Galaxy Within (Galaxy S 2) or go with the Photon. I loved the phone when I tried it at the store and truthfully I don't think there is much that I require from mods. I do like messing around with them but overall it has not given me much that I HAD to have on my Hero.
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
That's where im at the photon is pretty solid as it is now

Like I said before its nice taking a break from flashing.....seems like that's all I was doing with my mytouch 4g,hero and desire....don't get me wrong tho I will be super happy when we get unlocked bootloader
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScandaLeX:
Thats where I was at. Evo 3D, Photon, or SG2. Since the Evo 3D came to market 1st, I got it and hurriedly returned it less than 2 weeks later.

The Evo 4G was a great phone but its successor didn't feel like the next best thing and there were too many flaws I wasn't willing to work thru or wait for a fix.

Once I got the Photon, that was it for me. This phone is outstanding. Since I'm a small minority of the people who actually use their phone as a phone, having something with exceptional call quality and clarity was a huge plus for me.

With most devices, I eventually become bored with jailbraking and rooting so it's nice for now to just sit back and enjoy the MoPho in its present state.
[Motorola Photon 4G] diomark:
Agreed. wasn't a fan of the evo 3d (tried it for 3 weeks) - photon is a much better phone..

-m
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
I feel that all of the dual core phones are or will be good. But its the dock and the great reception that makes the photon the best for me. The dock is like having another computer, only better.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
I know benchmarks are really nothing, but to me they are a pretty good sign as to what we have to look forward to. I am getting 2600+ in Quadrant and linpack is in the high 60's multi-thread. Can't wait to see what happens to this when we get it unlocked!!!

[Motorola Photon 4G] n2ishun:
I just returned a Evo 3D yesterday.....total POS device that is a one trick pony.

Leaving it sit on my desk plugged into charger it would drop from 4G to 3G and NEVER reaquire 4G without me interacting with it. Call dropping POS due to that network switching.

Had a galaxyS before that that would rock but Tmo borked on my contract so I dropped them quick.

Considering a Photon or a GalaxyS2....

A team called "revolutionary" made a boot unlocker for the 3devo before HTC came out with thiers....possible it could be tweaked for the Photon ? (dunno, I don't have one yet).
[Motorola Photon 4G] HYDE1000:
I stand some what corrected. It does look like there has been a lot of recent activity in the 3D development. But keep in mind that it wasn't long ago those threads were full of people crying about how many days they were giving HTC to unlock too. So hopefully the Photon community will start to increase as well.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawrj:
Hello all,

I am fairly new to android, the Epic is my first android phone purchased on launch day. But I am very new to HTC and the EVO Shift. I just purchased one for my wife. I was wondering if someone could point me to some instructions, or just give me some, on how to best install clockwork and a rom. Her phone came with the latest update. Basically I would prefer to remain stock with just root and wireless tether. If anyone could help me accomplish this I would greatly appreciate it.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
You are going to have to look at the temp root thread that is right here in this forum since she is on the newest update. You are kind of limited to what you can do unless a permanent root solution is found. Wireless tether should work. I think you may be able to remove or freeze the bloat using somethin like titanium but it will probably come back when you reboot. Can't use any custom roms yet either...
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strapped365:
The only root that has been gained on the evo shift GB update is temproot no perm root yet so on a simple reboot you lose root, there is no recovery and no custom roms while temp rooted, there are a couple threads dedicated to this stuff here already
