[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backfromthestorm:
Hear is a cool tip!

If your flashing oxygen or another small rom, go into settings and set the system mb size as 100, and data as, well whatever you like, as it's on the sd, you can choose the sizes of your partitions! (you can leave the other settings empty) Just don't make system/data too small or the rom won't boot.

This way you can save space on your sd card, as standard it ll put a 250mb .img file on your sd but only use 95 mb of it etc.

I've used it a while and the only issue is that the roms you want to put on the sd have to support either ext 2 or ext4, (sd partitions are not required though).

Also it's a bit of a battery killer when using an sd rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backfromthestorm:
Also I can confirm,

Leedroid 2.4 no a2sd works well. Set as ext2.

Leedroid 3.0.8.2 works but the a2sd part didn't. Set as ext2.

Cyanogen works great. Set as ext4.

Miui. Can't remember ext.

oxygen 2.2.1. Set as ext2.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 12903478tgbyhn:
Just to confirm MIUI.

I tried the latest MIUI_Au on Ext-4 and it works nicely :)

Peppernut Studios has released a Flip Clock Widget for about a month and it comes with Live, flipping. They say it has some bugs that they are aware of and if you find others, to e-mail them. Its funny, because just the other day I was thinking about how all it would take to copy HTC's Clock Widget would be to Completely Make an Original Flip Clock with the same Functionalities. Please do be advised that this doesn't look like HTC's with weather, its just proof-of-concept that TouchWiz Framework can handle animation as simple as a flipping clock. ;)

[Atrix 4G General] people people:
Towards the top of my phone I have a spot where it will not register touch. It is not at the very top, like I have seen on other threads, but about an inch down. I suspect it is because of water damage, but I am not positive. The indicator on the battery is normal though. I tried using touchscreen booster but that did not fix it.

Any thoughts on what to do?
[Atrix 4G General] JaronBang:
Had the same problem, called AT&T and 3 days later had a new one..
[Atrix 4G General] bubb18:
i have the same problem, i think it got wet and it doesnt work all the time. it is like half an inch long dead zone right under the volume down button

was yours because of water damage, if so, youd be charged by insurance for a replacement?
[HTC Desire S] DDesires:
Hello,

My Desire S froze when updating Skype 2 weeks ago.

Removed battery. Phone stuck on HTC logo.

Went to bootloader for hard reset. When hard rest chosen phone freezes.

Went to recovery, phone starts recovery. Black screen, green icon. Then goes dark. Starts to vibrate 6-7 times. Then remains off. Battery out, battery in. Back to HTC logo again.

Laptop recognized phone when plugged in with fastboot mode. Under device manager (win 7) "HTC phone".

I bought the phone in Thailand, but am now in Philippines where there is no HTC repair center.

I managed to find RUU_Saga_HTC_Thailand_1.35.1113.2_Radio_20.28d.30.0805U_3805.04.02.01_M_release_183327_signed

Which matches my phone. However when trying to install the rom, the above app freezes on "restarting bootloader". I've left it there for over an hour.

I've tried ADB, but it's not picking up the phone.

I'm guessing either of the above can't load, as the phone is S-on.

But I cannot go S-off as I can't get the phone to boot, or any of the above software to find the phone. Again, windows is picking up that there's a HTC phone plugged in.

I've tried everything I know, and am at my wits end into thinking the phone is finished.

Can anyone help with something I may have overlooked, or have a suggestion to bring this back to life?

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] izrephyl:
It's most probably a hardware problem. There's a high chance that your phone's emmc chip is fried when u remove the battery. it's common in htc due to the phone design. My phone encountered same thing 2 weeks ago. sent for repair and they change the mainboard. I was lucky they ignored that my phone was S-on(warranty voided)
[HTC Desire S] DDesires:
I was thinking hardware last week after everything was failing. But as it was still booting to fastloader, and being picked up via usb was holding out hope it might just be the s-on preventing me from putting on a new rom. And not a mainboard gone.

Flying back to Thailand for the warranty would cost the same as buying a new phone ...

If taking a battery out when a phone is frozen fries a mainboard on HTC ... I doubt I will buy one again.

Looking at Galaxy 2. But also having doubts due to wifi reports and overheating screen. Can't afford another dud smartphone.

If anyone's got anything else to get this thing up to see if the mainboard is indeed dead, or it's something else, do make a suggestion please!
[HTC Desire S] MarlX:
I have same problem like this before and it's really pain in the a#$. Also, there is one HTC service center here in the Philippines, check it out on HTC site.
[HTC Desire S] DDesires:
Thanks MarlX

Yes, I've been in touch with HTC repair center in Manila via phone and email. I've been waiting for reply for over one week now!

I'm not in Manila, which would mean using fedex to send it up to them. Then bank transfer to pay for repair and shipping back.

If it is the Motherboard that's gone, all the above will probably cost more than a new phone :(

But I won't know until HTC Manila actually bother to reply!?!
[HTC Desire S] ngek202:
so what was the Problem is it becoz of Skype?
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
no,this problem happens if you pull the battery out when installing apps

the emmc chip is probably dead,if so you need to send it for warranty or replace the emmc chip yourself
[HTC Desire S] DDesires:
Well unfortunately, when updating the skype app, the phone froze. As in no buttons working, phone getting hot etc.

What else is there to do but take the battery out?

Either way, to have a "premium" phone like the HTC Desire S, burn out a chip, or indeed have a popular app causing it to brick etc is simply not good enough.

More over the support center refusing to reply back.

It simply means they've lost another customer.

The phone, when working, was wonderful. Looking at the Galaxy S 2 today, by all accounts a "better" phone, and it was sad. As, for me, the HTC Desire S was much more preferable.

Except of course for it's 6 week lifespan ... bad customer care etc
[HTC Desire S] MarlX:
Just to bad that you did not bought it here. My phone died two months ago (used it only for a month), sent it to the store and they've sent it to service center (in Manila). Had to wait for a month for them to fix it. Motherboard issues I think. Good thing I still have warranty.
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
yeah,this is really bad

but mine has been working for 3months without any problem,& the customer support here is good

if you dont mind voiding the warranty you can buy a eMMC & replace it yourself

if you do so you wont get this problem again

refer this thread for more info
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
There is software "hard" reset option. Instead of pulling the battery out, press all hardware buttons together (vol up, vol down, power button) and phone will reboot. I said this many times before in many topics: never pull out your battery when the phone is on. I learned it the hard way.
[HTC Desire S] DDesires:
Thanks kartkk. I wouldn't know where to begin with the physical replacement of the eMMC chip. Not even sure I can buy one around here.

I might call HTC Thailand and ask if I can send it to them via DHL or the like.
[HTC Desire S] DDesires:
maybe you should ask HTC to write that in big red writing on the back of their batteries as they start to reach burn your finger stage when the phone freezes.

Or maybe copy Nokia's hardware which is near on indestructible.

Quite simply, I am not a phone tech person. I'm a simple end user.

I've not had a problem taking a battery out of other phones.

Again, if taking a battery out of a phone kills it when it freezes, then quite simply the phone is not good enough. Or, if it is likely to. Then, again, in big writing for simple folk like me, big red writing on the battery saying

"don't take this out, even if it starts to feel like it's going to melt"
[HTC Desire S] DDesires:
BTW if anyone can point me to a step-by-step on how to determine if the eMMC chip is fried or not, I would appreciate it.

I read the above link. But don't know how to get to that stage!
[HTC Desire S] DDesires:
Apologies I see he was connecting via adb-shell. I've tried connecting via adb and it's not seeing the phone....

Which I think is half the problem.
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
try searching on ebay for sandisk mmc (or any other brand just dont get the same one used on the DS)

its always dangerous to pull the power from any device which works like a pc even in a pc pulling the power out while the device is on can harm the hardware &/or software i know many people who damaged their pc from pulling the plug while its on
[HTC Desire S] DDesires:
Best to my knowledge it was an emmc chip that was recommended to be replaced. Not an MMC.

While removing "power" abruptly from any electronic device is not recommend, one is sometimes left with no choice. Complete device freeze, no buttons working etc.

There is also a destine difference between a PC and a mobile phone. Though, it must be said from my point of view: today's Android phones, are very reminiscent of old windows 95/98 OS's in terms of stability and hardware issues.

now i recovered the phone.

First recharge the battery by wall charger. led will turn green instead of red... beware,,, insert battery after you plug in power cord.

second open the back cover, unscrew the screws, you can find the video from youtube to guide you... in my case, one of the connectors was not sitting well.

try it again... it will flash smoothly normally only takes 4 mins to done the whole processing... make sure you have full charged battery during the update.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
Hello everyone,

I just noticed some people signing their signature as "Sent from my HTC Flyer P150e". I went to Settings>About Tablet>Tablet Identity. My Flyer is P512. Is there any difference? I did notice the power button as a green light when the devices is on, and a yellow light when it's locked. My friends Flyer which he got months ago doesn't have it. I just got my Flyer. Are there two types of Flyers?

Edit: Pndo1 on XDA just told me that P150e is 3g model.. fail on me I guess :)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] sasa111:
Just asking... please don't flame :)

Loved Gtg's work but noticed he has taken down all his ROMs because of some Network Issues in his latest ROM. He said a couple of days but it's been 6 days now I guess.

As such there is hardly anyone working on Infuse... and that is so sad :(. Now even if Gtg stops working on it, I might as well get rid of this phone!!

So anyone knows if Gtg is coming back? Or is the Infuse is dead even before it properly took off here :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] prata:
He hasn't left, to my knowledge. He's working on a couple of things right now. He'll be back in full force in the near future.

Development for the Infuse is by no means dead. LunuxBozo is currently working on bringing CM7 to the Infuse and has made what I consider tremendous progress.

What I thought was, I'd become one of those deaf-mutes; or should I?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheNetwork:
I would love to flame but since you asked nicely.. What do you mean he has removed his ROMs? Infused is still up and hasn't really had any major problems...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sasa111:
I meant the GB ROMs. Froyo were great and I have no problems with his GB latest ROMs as well, but I am no one to comment on Network data rate issues that others are having as I never get that high data rates in my area anyway :)

Not blaming Gtg at all.. he is awesome, but just curious to know if Infuse support will ever reach something like that for GalaxyS. Just love this phone ...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] -Kevlar-:
With the GB update looming, it may be fair to say that infused, as it sits, may be dead. Why continue development on the Rogers base when he can scratch it and wait for easy street with ATT update?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Auto-Android:
Yea. He's probably waiting for the gb update so he can get all the bugs fixed. I went back to stock as well and see if this update is true
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nash2000:
I'm good with the Rodgers gb but I'd like to at least have infused (froyo) back if possible. I had to restore and lost everything. Hate being stock.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Froyo Infused was never pulled, it's still there.

As to gtg - I'm assuming he'll be back. He's probably burned out (I don't blame him) and needs a break. I would too. Since Rogers dropped GB we've been spending a liiiitle too much time at our keyboards...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
Just hold on. Things will come eventually ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rohit3192:
i feel few people own infuse that's why we have so few custom roms whereas htc models and samsung galaxy are owned by way too many people and due to their popularity more devs came up with their edition.

as far as gtg is concerned froyo links are there and one link of infused is still there if one goes through infused rom.

i am just waiting for att gb update and then hope that we will have more custom roms and new version by our gtg :D

Sweet I just downloaded the rom. Correct me if I'm wrong, ill use rom manager and boot into recovery, select rom from sdcard, and install. My question is, how do I wipe data like it sugests without being able to use rom manager to download.

hi all

I have both the viewsonic g tablet and the viewsonic viewpad 10s/ advent vega

the g tablet is great after I change the factory room. plenty of roms to choose from.and standard 16g built in memory.

there lies my problem. why does the viewpad 10s / advent Vega have only 512 MB of memory. my internal memory is filled up and its not letting me transfer apps to the external micro SD card with app2sd.

how do I get around this issue. I am currently running vegacomb 1.7. and can't weight till 3.3. comes out.

so how to I get thus. thing to download everything to the SD card.

I'm so frusrrated over this
[Vega General] yani2000:
I already tried to answer everything else in your other post.

But for the low memory issue, I'm actually glad it doesn't have a microSD card hadwired onto the mobo. Therefore you have tons of microSD cards to choose from! Ranging thru all kind of price points & sizes. :)
[Vega General] 4.3:
I still dont get it. the gtablet has 16g internal and has an option of a micro sd card to add 32g isn't that better?
[Vega General] yani2000:
Ah... in your previous post you forgot to mention that the gtablet has an option for a SD card (and I didn't google gtablet's specs) and I thought the gtablet doesn't have expendable memory.

Yes, you are absolutely right, more is better, even if you feel you'll never fill up that space.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankus0512:
Hi Everyone,

Many apologies upfront - I'm new to this forum - Hello everyone! - and I'm a complete newbie to phones and am starting to learn this whole thing about rooting/SBF/unlocking guides - please bare with me... :D

I have a Xoom 3G, and have successfully created my own unsecured boot.img and have been able to patch it to an unlocked bootloader (fastboot oem unlock) and have been able to flash the boot.img successfully, giving me an easy root access on HC 3.1. Where I'm failing to understand with the Atrix is:

1. What is this SBF (Binary File) - I've trialed and errored as much with sbf_flash -x on the original SBF with all thje *.img files and in theory it all appears to be the same as what I have on the Xoom (CG56.img being the boot.img)? Can I just flash the boot.img with the modified ro.secure=0 to emulate what was done on the Xoom - so flash the unsecured boot.img and push the su and Superuser.apk?

2. Following question 1, do I need to have the bootloader unlocked prior to flashing the unsecure boot.img to the boot partition? Is this a neccessary step? Will I brick my phone if I do not unlock the bootloader prior to flashing a unsecure boot.img?

3. I think I have a HKTW version of the phone (this is the firmware I have):

Branding: Retail Hong Kong/Taiwan

Version: 0.56.0 Service

Android Version: 2.2.2

Bootloader Version: N/A

Webtop version: 6.61.22

Is there a way I can upgrade to 2.3.4? I'm guessing there is a leaked version of the SBF (even if it's a testing/development version) that I can easily RSD the sbf to this phone, and everything should be still AOK? What I really mean is, is there a necessary requirement for puddings like the ATT/OLYFR versions?

4. Again - following question 3, if I did let's say apply the SBF of the HKTW 2.3.4, can I then apply the original SBF so that I can get OTA of 2.3.4 when it becomes available?

Many apologies upfront - I seem to be getting confused because I learnt how to root/unlock on the Xoom, and this "signed/unsigned" / "locked/unlocked bootloader" thing is really confusing... :(

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks heaps in advance!!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew5025:
PART ONE ON ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION (UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER)

I have no idea about flashing an unsecured boot.img. I am guessing that is the way you root the xoom and you are wondering how to unlock the atrix.

An SBF file cannot be flashed by fastboot. To flash an sbf file, you need to download a utility called RSD Lite.

I am going to give you step by step instructions on how to unlock your bootloader.

(You agree this will void your warranty and the bootloader on the atrix CANNOT be relocked)

1. Download RSD Lite 5.3.1 and the drivers for your phone.

2.Download this bootloader unlock file for International Atrix

3.Unzip (or unrar lols) the file. You should get a .sbf file

4. Power down your phone.

5. Turn on your phone by holding the power/lock button and the volume up key.

6. You should see a line of text that reads "Starting RSD protocol support"

7. Start RSD Lite and plug your phone into your computer.

8. RSD Lite should detect your phone as model SE Flash olympus

9. Press the "..." button and select the file you unzip.

10. Press start and wait.

11. After awhile, your phone should reboot.

12. Turn it off and put it in RSD mode (step 5)

13. Check RSD Lite. Make sure the Result states "PASS"

14. Disconnect the USB and remove the battery.

15. Put the battery back in and now start your phone while holding power/lock and volume down.

16. You should see "Fastboot". Press volume up.

17. You should see "Starting Fastboot protocol support"

18. Now plug your USB back in and issue the "fastboot oem unlock" command

19. You should get a unique ID for your device.

20. Run fastboot oem unlock "unique ID" (without quotes)

21. You now have an unlocked bootloader.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew5025:
Yes it is necessary. With a locked bootloader flashing it will fail but should not brick your device.

If all you want is root, there are easier ways ie gingerbreak

2.3.4 RSD is for AT&T atrix for now, it will not work on our phones.

"is there a necessary requirement for puddings"

puddings are used to unlock your bootloader

If you want 2.3.4, custom roms are your best bet now
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankus0512:
Thank you for your kind response!!!! :D

If I flash the IHOP.sbf, can I then revert back to the original SBF if I need to get Warranty claims, etc? Do I need to "fastboot oem unlock" prior to flashing the original SBF?

Also - what's the main difference between a ROM and a AOSP kernel? Is a ROM equivalent to a SBF?

Thanks so much once again!!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew5025:
Nope =( It is irreversible.

Run "fastboot oem unlock" after flashing the IHOP file. Doing it before will result in nothing.

ROM is like an operating system for your phone (example windows 7, ubuntu 10.10) while kernel is like drivers, they allow the OS to interect with the hardware. AOSP kernel? I don't think it exists.

ROM is like an OS, SBF is a file motorola uses to flash a phone back to stock.

Your welcome! Hope it helped!
