[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronoserge456:
Hi everyone. First time poster here. I'm having problems with my Samsung Apollo (i5801). I was at first going to root my phone, but before even getting to there, I was trying to access recovery mode so that I could fix a USB error (USB would not be detected when plugging into PC, only charged). I don't know what ended up happening, but now I am stuck in a rut.

Trying to hold Volume Up + Down, Home, and Powering on leads to the exclamation mark triangle android screen. Pushing the home button after that just leads to a reboot.

Holding Volume Down + Home and powering on leads to a blue "DOWNLOADING DO NOT TURN OFF" screen which I get stuck on.

Holding Volume Up + Home leads to a "Forced upload by key pressing" screen.

My phone still cannot access any boot menu and still cannot connect by USB to my PC.

I have not rooted anything and the firmware was on 2.1 Eclair before this whole thing happened.

Any ideas or suggestions would be grateful. Thank you!

Well seems like you can access Download mode just fine, so how about flashing it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coffmad:
2 things here

you cant actualy access a boot menu on a stock apollo, you need to flash a firmware to it first

and the reason your pc cant connect to the handset is you most likely dont have the samsung drivers installed

this thread should help plenty :) same handset, just called something else

hope this helps

I was resetting my tab using the delete all data/factory reset in recovery mode. Now it's stuck in a boot loop! I can get into CWM and download mode but I don't have anything to flash...does anyone know what I should do??
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Disrespective:
I'm hardly an expert but it sounds a lot like you've deleted your ROM, as such, the device is trying to boot a non existing operating system.

I'd start by connecting the tab to a PC and flashing the stock or a custom ROM onto the device.
[Desire General] br13an:
I have let my Desire get wet, really wet, when i start it it goes into the bootmenu

I cant use the volume rockers or power butto (when i did start it with the powerbutton) I can only get it in my bootmenu can someone help me pl0x?

It's S-OFF (Cm7R2 btw.)

(update)

It regognizes it when i use an usb cable, then it says Hboot USB something)

I need to get fastboot working, can someone help me out?

(No usb anymore, just get a distorted screen... will get a SGS II or Sensation then :P )
[Desire General] janeku:
Take out battery.

Dry with hair dryer and then put it deep in a rice (.5 kg or more). Leave it for 24-48 hours to stay there.

Rice will dry out all of water out of your phone.

Regards,
[Desire General] donverse:
I had the same problem (jumped into a pool with Desire still in pocket :eek:) and my screen and volume buttons wouldn't work.

Two days after that (I put it into rice..) the phone came back to life and is now perfetly working again, except for the Volume Up button which isn't too bad.

Guess, I had my lucky day :P

[Desire General] danarama:
The rice trick needs to be done more or less immediately. Power off, battery out, bowl of rice at least 48 hours. If you're quick enough you may get away with it.

Water is very corrosive so even if everything seems ok, the damage could already be done.

Please, no one use a hairdryer.....

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bobo122:
hello

i have few questions that i couldn't find answers for , i hope you can help me

i have a little experience with rooting and flashing custom roms on the HTC G1, and i have been reading about milestone since i bought 1 and i wanna root it and install a custom rom on it ..

first of all , from my experience with the G1 , if there is a mismatch between the SPL and Radio , the cellphone will get bricked . here (for the milestone) i didn't see anyone mentioning those things .. all they say is install openRecovery and then flash etc .. so (just to make sure) isn't there any such threat as the G1's ?

another question is , as i saw in the guides , i need RSD Lite to root the milestone and then install open recovery .. when i rooted my G1 and installed a recovery i used "universal androot" and "ROM manager" from market to root and install recovery (and then continued from the recovery to flash custom rom) , is it possible to do the same for the milestone ?

last question, i live in israel , do i have to do anything special (do something with the radio or anything else) to get my milestone working properly here ?

thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
1- There is no chance of bricking the Milestone by flashing the wrong radio.

2- You can use Universal And Root to root the Milestone, but ROM Manager WILL brick your phone.

3- What you can do is flash the 2.2 vulnerable recovery from android.doshaska.net/rootable and then put OpenRecovery on your SD Card, and root the phone via OR. After that you flash your custom ROM. I believe there is already an Israel baseband in OR, that you can use to flash in Change Baseband in OR.
[General Questions and Answers] Darks006:
Hi

I'm using a Motorola Defy and I've been running Cyanogenmod 7 since a month. It's working fine except the fact that my Market does not download any apps. I've been looking into this problem for weeks now and still haven't managed to fix it. Really frustrating. I've tried about every possible fix I could find on the internet.

What I've tried:

- Clearing market cache / downloads cache etc.

- Re-installing market.

- Re-flashing and re-installing CM7

- Wiping dalvik cache in custom recovery.

- S2E app fix does not work => market fails to download even this app.

- Installing a new (unofficial) market version with abd, downloads still fail.

What I've noticed though, when in bootloader and if I try to wipe the data cache (not dalvik) it will give me an error (cannot mount cache, error wiping cache or something). So I'm pretty sure my data cache is messed up and thus I cannot download any app. Can anyone provide me with some information on how to fix this?

Note: Everything else works absolutely fine. I can download files or pictures or browse the internet and such. It's only the market downloads that always fail.

Help very appreciated!
[General Questions and Answers] Darks006:
Ok so I'm certain the /cache partition is broken. In costum recovery, it's unmounted and I cannot mount it (gives an error). I've tried some commands in adb as well:

So I think my only option is re-creating the market cache to get it to work again. But how will I be able to do that?

Thanks

My favorite app for remote desktop is Logmein its $14.99 on the app market. And works great on the Nook

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] inportb:
There are many such apps on the Market. Have you tried Gmote?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Arbelzapf:
My favorite remote app is Unified Remote, which has remotes for almost every purpose. It even saved my life when I had to give a presentation for an exam with 3 fellow students.

Nobody brought a presenter, so I quickly installed the desktop client and passed my phone to whomever was speaking next.

For a full-featured remote desktop, I settled for Android VNC Viewer. No need to pay money for Logmein.

PROTIP: Have a look at this thread I made a while ago: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1115986

Using these steps, you can launch your remote app (and any other app) right from the lockscreen. Saves me loads of time whenever I just want to adjust the volume or stuff like that.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hellalucard:
I love Unified Remote as a plain remote.

VNC is also great for free but Logmein just rocks for me with multiple networks and stuff like that as a remote desktop app.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 416inversed:
It may be a tad overkill for your purposes, but my favorite remote desktop app is Team Viewer.

Simple to setup, simple to use, and it's free.

For your purposes, I've heard a lot of good things about gmote, but I wasn't able to get it to work.

Use teamviewer, it's free and best software I used for both Laptop & NC.

But you cannot use your PC to remote your NC via teamviewer

What settings do you use to control netflix? I was trying to do this, but the slow framerate kills any attempt to control my desktop, that and the netflix buttons don't render, so I have to guess where I'm clicking.

Other than that I'd +1 to androidVNC, suits most of my needs fine. I'll have to check out unified remote though, looks good.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Nburnes:
Androidvnc is set up as 64 colors (1bpp) with Force full-screen bitmap on Auto, with Zoomable Scaling.

Everything renders fine for me, including the buttons. Colors are a little off, but that doesn't matter when I am only using it as a remote. On desktop side I did nothing in TightVNC except make sure that it turns off my wallpaper, just in case.

I use and enjoy Splashtop Remote.

(Tried to add a URL to the market, but weren't allowed to do so. Search for Splashtop Remote HD in Android Market, that should do the trick.)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Wifflepig:
Not entirely sure what you want to control - but look into DLNA apps. You can play your media (pictures, video, audio) and control any other DLNA app/renderer (blu-ray, etc).

"Play this video on my TV" or "go to laptop, stream this music to my Nook Color". It's pretty handy stuff.

Ok so i've pretty much had it by the looks of it, so any help will greatly be appreciated. Coming from gingervillain 2.8 i tried to install an insertcoin rom to my desire because of the prospect of getting shiny new sense on my phone. Im not new to the flashing scene but this problems got me well and truly stumped. Due to unfortunate consequences im basically left with a desire, with a rom which didnt work (hangs at htc logo) normally this wouldnt be a problem, but my power buttons decided to fail on me, leaving me with a useless brick. Does anyone have any suggestions? thank you in advance

Hi

I have a Sprint Evo 3D, with S-OFF and rooted with revolution.

I want to update my phone to 2.08.651.2, but when I download the official update and try to install the update my phone don't install anything an freezes with and exclamation inside of a triangle. I try to download from other sources and manually install from bootloader but don't install anything.

I saw other post with the full deodexed image but i don't want to wipe my device.

Can someone help me to install de update?

Thanks

if you want to update to a rooted 2.08 rom, you will have to wipe your device.

[Nook Color General] Touch-ee:
So I just installed cm_encore_full-173.zip which was brutal... Took me like 5 hours to figure out how to get rid of errors. But now its working. So thats good.

How do I get a status bar at the top that has running Apps, battery icon, etc? I have one on my phone but the ROM does not have one. i really want that back.

Also I am not loving softkey... Is there anything better?
[Nook Color General] joenathane:
Settings>CyanogenMod settings>Tablet Tweaks>bottom status bar

as far as the soft buttons you can try a theme, TransformerBread and HoneyBread have gotten the Tablet Tweaked treatment and if you look in the Android Themes section you'll be able to find more
[Nook Color General] shobon:
I'm on the latest nightly and I have a status bar with softkeys...

Make sure you wipe data, cache, and dalvik when flashing!
[Nook Color General] Touch-ee:
Great. As soon as I hit the "CyanogenMod settings" button I gt that error again and it closes out. This whole thing is screwed up. And no one will tell me how to wipe this and try a different ROM...

I have tried everything and I cant get this one off.
[Nook Color General] joenathane:
Open the rom manager in your app drawer and make sure you have the latest clockwork recovery installed, if you don't, flash it. Then go to download ROM and download the latest Nightly and check gapps in the pop up window, once its downloading another popup window will come up, check the wipe data and wipe cache and the wipe dalvik cache and hit ok. make sure you don't have a bootable SD card inserted into your Nook during this process.

That should fix all your issues.
[Nook Color General] Touch-ee:
I did all that but then it just says "your download has started you can view the progress in the notification area" Where is that? How long does it take

its been like 15 mins. How do I know when its done and how do I kick off the install?
[Nook Color General] joenathane:
It should be done downloading... Pull up the notification bar and hit on the clockwork recovery icon in there. If you don't have the statusbar, press and hold the power button>reboot>reboot recovery

while in recovery go to mounts and storage, format the system, data and cache, hit the power button to go back to the main menu and choose install zip from sd card>choose zip from sdcard>clockworkmod>download>download.cyanogenmod.com>get> then choose your nightly to flash it then choose install zip from sd card>choose zip from sdcard>clockworkmod>download>goo-inside.me>gapps> and flash gapps

once you've done that restart and everything should be good...
[Nook Color General] stir fry a lot:
Your initial rom may have become corrupted while downloading. The softkeys should be there by default.
[Nook Color General] geek_riot:
I had the same issues. The only way I could get the errors to go away and the status bar to appear was to flash clockwork recovery from ROM Manager and then download and flash the rom from there.
[Nook Color General] Touch-ee:
Ok I'm really close. Its WAY better, I actually the the logo run at the begining. Its fast, i can install thing, no errors.

But Facebook did not install, it said "File Not Found" and when I search for Facebook in the Market there is no Install button. But I was able to install Kindel just fine. So there is one last weird thing with facebook.
[Nook Color General] joenathane:
There is an issue with the market right now where you cant install some apps. There is a work around though, you'll need to edit your build.prop and change your dpi from 161 to 160 and make these changes

ro.product.model=SCH-I500

ro.product.brand=verizon

ro.product.name=SCH-I500

ro.product.device=SCH-I500

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

reboot, goto setting>manage applications>all>market>clear data

and you'll be good to go for awhile, every once and a while you'll have to clear the data for the market.

ok i ran into some problems with security on my phone. im not 100% positive its from xda but ive only been on my phone for the past couple days. yesterday i signed on to gmail from my laptop using ubuntu. and found out that people from ukraine and bolivia and other european areas have been signing into my gmail. and ended up changing my password but today i flashed a new rom and found i couldnt sign in then tried on my laptop. so im really worried, AND YES I REMEMBER MY PASSWORD.

im not gonna name the roms ive used, i just wanna know if anyone else has had this problem using custom roms. that way i can pinpoint the problem. again im not blaming any of the developers but i just curious, "theoretically" if im using a custom rom can there be spyware?

please if anyone else has had the same problem post it here.

and again im not accusing any of the developers.... just to avoid this from turning into a hate thread of me.

when you sign into gmail at the top in red letters it said a security warning and it tells you the location and ip.

looked them up

i was off by the locations lol

[Xoom General] Deonix:
I guess Xoom will be the lucky winner. Too bad 3G is CDMA... only< obviously... my mind was hoping when i wrote the article i guess. Still i had a preety sweet offer, my home internet provider gives every "Gold like" package owner a sim with free access. ( wireless internet is kinda expensive here/ limited) As i live in the capital signal should have been full. Wireless tether is ok of course.

Still i see little development> Custom ROMS but although new devices are around the corner i don't have the funds.

Can i connect cameras and USB Sticks as Mass storage?
