You can only use nandroid backups on the type of phone they were made on so yours will only work on your current phone. You will have to use titanium to restore once rooted.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cooksalot:
Thank You! That will make things a lot easier now that I know. I'll just head on over to looking up roms. :D
[Motorola Droid Android Development] beanx:
i purchased this motorola droid from a friend for 20 bucks, anytime u plug it into an outlet and try to power it on it comes up and says Battery To Low To Program on the boot loader screen, well i got past this by cutting up a USB cable and connecting the positive and negative to the battery connectors inside the phone like this...

Now im at the boot loader screen that says...

I have installed the RSDLITE 4.9 and the latest Motorola Drivers from Motorola, and i cant get RSDLite to find my phone at all, even if i check the first come first serve option under config, the only way i can get it to recognize it is to roll back from RSDLite 4.9 back to 4.5.3 and then it will recognize it and say its connected but when i add the .sbf file and hit start i get this error...

"Device SE flash OMAP3430 MI is not supported

Failed flashing process unable to find initialization values INI file (0x7029)"

Im not a beginner in anyway when it comes to android ive been messing with them for about a year now started out with a droid and then moved over to sprint where i have a rooted EVO that i mess with alot, if there is anything anyone can think of to help id really appreciate it im out of ideas and i hate to just throw in the towel and say its broke, the phone will go into recovery when i try to do a factory wipe it just gives me a bunch of E: open dev then says it ran out of trys, clears my cache and data and thats it, i still get the white M screen and all that just when i try to power it up it goes straight to the bootloader 2C.7C screen. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled each version of RSDLite from 4.5 all the way up to 4.9 as well as old and new motorola usb drivers as well as rebooting my machine each time. When i plug the phone in after holding Up + Power my computer does recognize the Motorola SE Flash interface or whatever it says when you plug them in and load the boot loader so idk please help...

**EDIT**

As far as i know this phone was not rooted when i got it and is not the phone in my signature, the guy said one day it just started giving him the low power cannot program screen.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] beanx:
really? no one has any ideas? :(
[Motorola Droid Android Development] Mastur Mynd:
The first thing I would do is find out if the phone had been rooted. If so the answer could be as simple as flashing a rom onto it if you can get to recovery. I'm pretty new to working with rooted devices and it seems you've come to the wrong place to discuss this phone as it seems not many people care about the Droid. Its more about the Milestone here.

If the device isn't rooted and you do decide to break down, you could call Verizon or Motorola (depending on who you want to deal with) and see about getting a replacement phone.

The droid is pretty fun to mess with and it seems that there are a lot of cool things you can do with it. It doesn't have some of the hardware that the newer phones have, so some of the apps/mods/addons wont work the way you want them to, but its still fun to have a phone around that you can constantly test on and work with.

I wish you the best of luck with this my friend and I hope that some how I helped with this. I'm looking forward to finding out if you got your "Dinodroid" running again lol.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TaintedCross:
Considering this is the section for droid its the right place to come. Just because more user have milestones does not mean theres not someone willing to help.

As for the droid what .sbf file are you trying to flash? You just said you flashing a .sbf file you didn't say exactly what? I'm guessing a custom rom image or a stock version of the droid. You might wanna double check the sbf your using to make sure its for the droid and not milestone. Don't know much about the droid but thats the first thing Id check.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] beanx:
well i have made some progress, my cousin has a moto droid 1 and i swapped his battery in with mine and what do you know, phone fired right up! I took the phone home, plugged it into a charger with the original battery and it worked, battery even started charging. Well... Soon after me messing with it for probably an hour or 2 the phone starts randomly rebooting and now will only start up to the bootloader screen. Im thinking the battery could be bad and its maybe sending mixed voltages to the phone and making it operate radicly? I know these phone are suppose to operate at a certain "safe" voltage in order to work correctly and im thinking that may be why cutting up the USB cable and connecting it to the battery terminals of the phone may have not worked? Im thinking the battery may be bad and the phone is trying to protect itself from being shorted out? Idk just an idea. So i ordered a brand new droid battery from amazon so we will see what happens once it gets here.

And for Mastur Mynd, thanks for the advice, thankfully this isnt my main phone, i have a evo 4g on sprint and this phone is just for tinkering i figured i could fix it and if not im only out 20 bucks and my time. Hopefully the battery works tho because the phone is MINT and it worked perfectly for the short time i got it to fire up.

TaintedCross - as far as i know the phone wasnt rooted, the guy said he spilt water on the table the phone was on and the water ran underneath the phone and didnt actually get on it, so thats why im thinking its just the battery shorting out. I doubled checked the .sbf files like 10 times downloading them from differnt websites and stuff so i know thats not the problem.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] pomeroythomas:
I had an incredibly similar problem trying to repair a friend's Droid X. It was water damage to the boot sector. If you can get it to boot up again, I suggest flashing a new ROM via ClockworkMod. If you're lucky, it may fix the problem by overwriting the kernel, system, etc. where the problem could be located. If that doesn't work, try to .sbf about a hundred times. I spent a good 12 hours .sbfing over and over until it stuck. The only thing is that you HAVE to have +80% battery before attempting an .sbf flash because the phone doesn't charge while in the bootloader. Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattceez:
Hi all,

I've recently upgraded to a Photon, and am giving my Dad my Evo.

After doing the ESN swap online, I flashed a stock rom (4.24.651.1 De-Odexed) with the intent to program the phone with my Dad's #.

When I attempt to enter the ##786# to begin programming, it just stalls and does not respond.

Has anyone else encountered this? And if so, how did you solve this?

Thank you
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdallama:
I recently got a month free trial to hulu plus, and wanted to try out the market app for android. I was able to download and install, log in, and even select what show to watch, but it never got past the first ad. It just said buffering...and eventually gave me a network error. well, I knew that my connection was fine, so a little research yielded these results.

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/team-d1-miui/110780-disable-ad-blocking.html recommends allowing certain advertising through, by navigating to /system/etc/hosts and deleting whatever ads you want to allow though.

http://www.hulu.com/support/article/166627 mentions that by allowing ads.hulu.com and p.hulu.com you may be able to work around certain playback issues. even though this was meant for firefox, i figured they use the same ad base.

so, I deleted those entries in my system/etc/hosts file and voila! hulu now works flawlessly.

fwiw, i am running miui 1.8.12 on my nexus s, with matr1x kernel.

hope this helps out!

What/where to delete to enable hulu?

Hi, i know this thread is a little old but im having the same problem. My rom has add block so i went in /system/etc/hots and opened hots using text viewer. but hosts is a really LONG list and i don't understand anything in it. I dont even know what im looking for. If you could tell me how you deleted the things that allowed hulu to play i would greatly appreciate it

Thanks :o

Edit: nevermind, i figured it out. I realized in text editor it lists things in alphabetical order. So i found the "culprit" under H (ads.hulu.com)

thanks anyway :)

Hello. Well seems Google+ doesnt install to a G1... so anyone have a apk that would work for me to install it? Also my youtube for awhile has been messed up, I need to reinstall it, but dont have a apk or updated youtube apk for it if someone can point me in the right direction? Thanks. =)

(Over 2 years with my G1 and I have not had a desire to replace it yet, even tho I have higher end phones)
[G1 Apps and Games] inportb:
It doesn't? Please describe your problem in more detail, because I'm using it just fine, on the latest iteration of COS-DS.

Perhaps you need a more recent Android; if this is the case, having the apk would not help you much...
[G1 Apps and Games] AndDiSa:
Same for me here, running G+ and YouTube, both installed from the market. Seems to me that these apps need a higher API-Level, i.e. Donut isn't supported.
[G1 Apps and Games] Mysticales:
Well I am still running my G1 on Enoms 1.6 build. Always worked best. So didnt change it. Granted Youtube.. Not sure WHAT happened. It just doesnt want to update the homescreen of it, getting like a parsing error on it. Thats why I am looking for that apk

As for G+ the market doesnt let me install it.

Love my G1 too much to replace it. G2 was a contender but that temp root thing turned me off.
[G1 Apps and Games] AndDiSa:
Enom's roms were great, I liked them very much and I was using them until mid of last year. Unfortunately he stopped development and if you want to be up to date, you need to switch, and since Terry provided us with ezGingerbread, I switched to that. Performance / speed is comparable to Enom's roms and I am on the lastest Android version ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] Mysticales:
Thats a great review. I may have to do that... Trick is, I worry.. I have over 100 apps installed heh. While I can download them to my PC. Just not sure what else would wipe. Or do you need to wipe for that upgrade?
[G1 Apps and Games] AndDiSa:
Unfortunately yes, ... no chance to keep apps / data. Ok, TitaniumBackup may be an option, contacts and calander come from google, but it's still a bit of work to do.

In addition to that you would probably like to upgrade to the 1.33.0013d/2.22.28.25 combo to gain 14MB of available RAM(!), which will cause additional work and risks(?) ...
[G1 Apps and Games] shadowch31:
I'd have to say that as a user with over 150+ apps and no desire to trim the fat I'm very shortly back off to E-Xtreme and danger spl with 26I radio as nothing ever came close to being as good on my phone for me above 1.6 (Hell I'm even thinking of dropping back to Super D 1.9.3 with DarkStars theme if I can find it, that black google search box with the ghoshed white outer glow always was the sexiest thing ever lol) because if your a user from my experience with a load of apps and have a lot of home screens with shortcuts and widgets then Froyo and especially gingerbread just ain't for you plain and simple. I kill them all in minutes and I'm not exactly a beginner at this stuff, by no means an expert either but I know enough to know that me and gingerbread will never work and well for some of us thats just how it is.
[G1 Apps and Games] Mysticales:
Heh yea, same here. I love my G1 even tho its about 3 years old. 1.6 is fine for my everyday use. My HD2 tho.. just found the <3 Android I was looking for.

If card reader of desire is slow, on level of Class 6, if you put Class 10, doesnt change anything, but why "is not so good"?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluxgfx:
I can safely say that my 32 GB class 6 has no issues. I've been reading on the subject and for some devices the class 10 is flaky... might just be a firware/software issue. Who knows.

But I'm ok with my class 6. Write: 9mb/s and read 24.3m/s
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottmog:
Ok so after everything last night I ended up keeping the kingston class 4 instead of the wintec class 10.

One thing that everyone should know if they are planning to upgrade soon and have forgotten this. The speed to write to a micro sd is slow then the speed to copy from a micro sd. This is my experience last night at least... I can copy a certain file to my desktop in 40 seconds but to put it on took 2-3 minutes.

Anyways, just be patient and go to a place you can get refunds so you dont get screwed with a bad card lol. With my experience the 32 gb class 10 wintec sucks, the write speed was insanely slow. So I stuck with a name brand instead, I really wanted a sandisk but they werent available.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
Actually, my original Wintec card was screwing up and wouldn't keep the data partitions written. The replacement I got from Wintec is working the way it should, and it actually is acting like a class 10 card.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Class ratings refer only to write speed. And write speed is always going to be slower than read speed.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperDave81:
This AND, class ratings were documented before smartphones for the purpose of professional photography use in cameras. I have never had any speed issue with my good old class 2 card in my smartphone.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kasazza:
Thank You: I can confirm this.

I had to put a SD in my old DesireZ/Vision for one of my son (10 years... there's no religion....) to replace a old 4GB crashed one.

The phone is running SenseI ROM (fine ROM: a very good way to replace the stable CM7 and run ICS 4.0)

I bought on Amazon Samsung EVO uSD 16GB Class10... and it was not recognized... So I read it on the PC to see if is was good or not: it was OK!

Recovered the trouble upgrading the Galaxy S2 of the other son from a old 8GB class 4 (probably Kingston o Transcend) to the brand new 16GB EVO Class 10, and putting the old 8GBB in the Desire Z: quickly recognized and optimally mounted both cards over both the 2 phones!

But I was disappointed... more than speed performance I thought that Class 10 memory card were also better on quality, due to a more robust and stable architecture of the chips inside.... and

much more recommended for the "systemdisk-like" use on Android Smartphones!

Did you look at the settings for CorePlayer that are listed in XDA? when I first loaded it, it also did not play the video ...

I think those are the only changed that I made from the default settings, but is was awhile ago, so I am not 100% sure ...

I don't use youtube, so I can't help there ... but there is a new app listed with Omarket that is supposed to provide smooth video -- but I have not tried it ...

Additional Instructions

Returning to stock firmware:

To return to a stock firmware, you need to use the SUT L3 software to flash original firmware. Here is a small guide and the necessary software.

Flashing to this firmware before installing an EUVviewpad rom seems to fix the wifi problems some people have.

1. Download SUT L3 v1.7.9

2. Download the following rom:

- Download Firmware 3420

3. Unzip the files you downloaded

4. Install SUT L3 on windows

5. Start SUT L3 and click next

6. Check in the bottom left corner if you see the message: A phone is connected (if it is not, you need to install the correct drivers. You can do this by running setup.exe from the virtual CD of the viewpad)

7. Select the rom you downloaded and click next.

8. Your viewpad should now reboot into clockwork recovery and after a few seconds switch to download mode and start flashing the new firmware. This will take a few minutes after which the phone will reboot and start to the stock os.

After this you can choose to root it with SuperOneclick, install cwrecovery and any custom rom.

Installing Touchpal keyboard:

In Version 1.7 Touchpal keyboard has been removed. Here's how to reinstall it:

1. Download this zip: Touchpal.zip

2. Extract the zip to a folder on your sdcard. (for example /sdcard/touchpal

3. Browse to the folder using ES File explorer on the viewpad

4. Install Touchpal_M20.apk and any language packs you want.

5. Go to Settings > Language & Keyboard and activate Touchpal.

6. Long press any text input field and select Input Method

7 From the list, select touchpal.

Seems that I didnt test the wifi drivers included in the v1.0 release as well as I thought. While i have no problems with finding and connecting to my AP I can't get a proper internet connection for some reason.

I've reverted the rom back to the Stock EU 2.2 wifi drivers (have no problems with those) and updated the OP with the v1.1 version. Please use V1.1 and only try V1.0 if you have problems with your wifi. I will look into this some more.

My current wishlist of things I plan (hope) to do with this rom:

- Integrate V6 Supercharger script with best settings for Viewpad7 to improve memory performance.

- Install a nice battery icon (Battery Icon Mod?)

- create a new notification bar (i'm thinking transparent or shaded)

- change the default background

- tweak, tweak, tweak.

It would be nice to eventually set up a Custom ROM kitchen for this device, but for now i'll focus on improving this rom.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
Original TouchPAL_M20 is still in the rom, I've remove some of the language packs for it to save space, but I can allways add those back in on request.
