[HTC EVO 3D] ifly4vamerica:
Rom's come in a zip format. Boot into recovery (use the 4 in 1 or an app such as quick boot) once in recovery wipe cache and davlik cache at a minimum. You may need to do a full wipe of data, cache and davlik. Or you can use a tool like superwipe which reformats boot, system, cache, and data partitions. Usually a wipe of cache and davlik works as long as the ROMS have a similar base. Once that is done select flash zip from sd card, then select the zip of the rom you want. Then flash that sucker. when it is done it will tell you, then go back a couple menus and reboot. Presto you're done. The first boot after a davlik and cache wipe may take a while so be patient.

Once you are done you can delete the zip from the sd card.

If you are going from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 you may want to flash the radios from 2.3.4. the ROM thread should have this info if required or recommended.

Going back to 2.3.3 is just as easy just put the 2.3.3 ROM on the card and flash that in the same manner.

Word of advice is to always make a nandroid backup, its under backup then usually choosing the boot, data, and system partitions will suffice. This way if you do something that totally borks the phone you can volume down and power to get to recovery then restore the nandroid and you are right back where you started no harm no foul.

Good luck. Also if you check the wiki's most of this info is in there if you need more detailed instructions.

i use titanium backup pro & when i restore my apps after a fresh flash my home screen (launcher) is set. usually the widgets dont work so i have to maually replace them, but this should work.for.you as well. i should also note that when i switched from froyo to gb, i didnt try this as i was unsure of the results... **also, make sure not to restore system data, but that will be in the 1st post of watever rom you flash... hope this was helpful

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
It works if you're using a third-party launcher. Can be funky if using the system launcher though.

nice catch, i forgot to mention that part... :)

Gotta love Titanium Backup for when this happens. Just need to set up your widgets and all the icons are set just the way you left them.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Using TiBu to restore launcher settings for a system launcher after changing ROMs can result in things getting REALLY messed up.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickyyy:
I need some help with this one.

I received a Mytouch 4g and have the following errors:

It will not boot past the Mytouch 4g logo screen. However; I can boot into Hboot and recovery just fine.

It is running CWM 3.0.2.4 which is supposed to be a 2.3 recovery. Whenever entering recovery or moving around and trying to flash something it says the following:

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

The radio is 26.03.02.26_M which is supposed to be a 2.2 radio.

I have tried to flash the 2.3 radios but they all seem to freeze up at the very end. I have let them sit for 15+ minutes.

I have tried to flash a 2.3 rom and receive an error when flashing it. Also, I cannot format system under recovery, I receive an error saying: Error formatting /system! (Helpful I know)

I have also tried factory resets to no avail. I am currently going to try to get back down to a 2.2 recovery and go from there.

Please help as it is greatly needed and appreciated!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
all those cache errors definitely mean you have a bricked phone, with a bad emmc chip likely being the problem. currently, there isnt a way to recover from this brick
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickyyy:
Ouch. Is there absolutely no possibility of anything? I'd be content with a stock rom at this point... If it's already bricked I could be a test dummy for anything risky that might work.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
not that I know of, I havent heard of anyone recovering their bricked phone with the bad emmc
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickyyy:
Answered my own question. Any other ideas feel free to post away :/
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBTY:
HEY guys i saw the title and thought it should be appropriate to post here, sorry if i deviate from the original question but I recently flashed 2 Mytouch 4Gs and everything worked out great i used the instructions provided by grankin01 for true perm root using gfree method through adb with visionary for perm root unlock etc etc but i didnt flash the engineering bootloader as far as i know not really sure :confused: I flashed cm7 on both devices now one of the phones has given me trouble the other is still working.

The issue is that the defective phone worked for about 2 weeks, the owner said she accidentally let the phone use all battery and die, and after that the phone would get stuck at the cm7 boot animation. I rebooted into recovery just fine and reflashed the rom. That got it working for several minutes. Then it started crashing randomly and kept freexing at boot animation, i tried a cm7 kernal and that didnt work either so i flashed virtious unity sense 3.0 rom. That seemed to work but it was freezing when i tried to install certain games well long story shorter :p i finally ran fix permissions for apps from rom manager and that seemed to fix problem, the phone stabilized and actually worked flawlessly after so i gave it back.

The phone worked for about another week, owner tells me that she was trying to install games (8 at a time :rolleyes:) and the phone was not working, so she tried reboot and the phone wouldn't reboot at all in fact it dosent even go into recovery light up or show any signs of life except when i plug it in to my computer asks for this driver QHSUSB_DLOAD so i guess its not completely dead but adb does not recognize it with adb devices command but i am totally stuck dont know what to do please help and sorry for the huuuge post!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Read the Glacier Wiki, Troubleshooting guide. Link in my signature.

It'll answer the OP.

It would be wise to look for it before posting.

For the second answer - if the phone doesn't start booting, there's nothing you can do.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phil0sophic:
Yup +1 on the brick with the bad emmc chip, classic symptoms...

I sent this...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickyyy:
Yup guess so. I've been trying to at a minimum get the stock recovery back on but that seems impossible at this point. Can't flash from adb or even wipe/flash from fastboot.

Argh
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickyyy:
Okay so apparently it is going back to HTC for repair.

My problem is that now I cannot seem to get CWM off of it or anything. I tried flashing the PD15IMG to stock but receive the fail-pu. I tried with ADB but had an error. Fastboot gave me an error as well.

Are there any recommendations? I would just send it like it is since it wasn't the rooting or flashing but a manufacture defect on the emmc it seems, but I am afraid they would reject and charge me to repair. Even if I declined, there would be a $35 fee for their hassle.

I would like to have it out the door tomorrow morning if possible, so please instruct me on any possibilities. I thank you all in advance.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
There's nothing you can do besides trying to brick it completely - loading PD15IMG and pulling the battery while radio update is in progress.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
or fry the thing and make it unbootable lol ;)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickyyy:
How would go about doing that? I can't seem to make it fully bricked by pulling while flashing a radio :/

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jallenashley:
So, I was curious but didn't know where or how to ask. Would anyone be interested in trading an HD7s for my Focus? I originally wanted the HD7s, but I didn't want to wait for it to come out. I do love my Focus, but want to try and HTC phone.

My phone is in good condition, only slight wear on the chrome and back. No screen wear (Invisible Shield is amazing!). I'll even leave in the 8gb microSD card.

Any ideas on how to trade?

How to Restore Apps after installing new Firmware ?

Will Restoring CWM Data do it ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russ18uk:
Hi, before you flash a ROM, you should install titanium backup and backup apps through there. Flash rom, clear data, dalvik, boot normally, set apn etc if needed then reinstall titanium backup and batch restore.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lkhz:
Thanks. Titanium Free will let me do that ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russ18uk:
Yes out will. Choose batch from menu and pick whether to back up apps, or apps and data. Data will be stored on sd card. Apply new rom, clear data and dalvik, reinstall titanium backup. Select batch and pick restore apps or apps and data. Cwm backup can be done before flashing new rom, also; however, as you can restore your old rom, data, everything, including sms and call logs as if you never flashed the new rom.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsdr:
why my atrix only have 22xx score on quadrant ?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheToiletSpaula:
Mine was around 21xx and 22xx as well. Seems pretty normal for a stock ATRIX.

I then flashed faux's kernel and starting getting scores that consistently got better.

Im averaging scores on quadrant at about 3100 to 3300 now.

Try flashing the kernel to unlock the hidden power of the ATRIX since Motorola undercapped its performance before it was put on the shelves.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsdr:
tks

this may be the reason,

now i still use the original version from AT&T, 183
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheToiletSpaula:
Well you have a lot of reading to do. You'll have to root your phone, then unlock your bootloader.

Once that is done you can flash new ROM's and kernels.

Faux's kernel is pretty popular as of current so good luck.

This issue doesn't seem to be limited to just my EVO 4G. Also happened on an EVO 3D and Samsung Epic. I doubt it's hurricane related since I live in Iowa, although a hurricane here would be pretty neat. Have experienced this with all those phones in several different cities here so it doesn't seem to be related to a particular tower. Seems to be a Sprint thing because no one else's phone I know on different carriers do this.

So after much debating I decided to finally get rid of my g2x since I've been using the sensation more and more. I was planning on selling it about a week ago but the vibration motor died out on me. Today I finally received my replacement from tmobile and to my big surprise the one I got has no light bleeding at all!! So I figured I would post it here right away before posting it on ebay seeing as pretty much everyone has been complaining about the issue.

I will upload some pictures later since im using the phone app right now. I still have the original box and everything that came with it plus two cases that ill throw in there for free.

Please pm me if interested

I didn't find a marketplace forum in the app so if this is the wrong place can a moderator please move it?

Thanks :-)

I Should have corrected the subject line as I have multiple issues.

I've been suffering from this issue for a couple of years now, and I have yet to figure it out, let alone ask the question.

I have about 500 songs, mixtures of downloads and media that I had prior to any of my android phones.

Why is it I keep on getting duplicate album covers? Maybe I'm being a little modest here, actually a couple hundred have the same album cover, the rest have some album covers and some just dont. (Read below before suggesting album finders).

I have had playlists that never have saved from 1 rom to another and I've tried almost all of the well-known market album retrievers Id3 taggers.

Anyone else have this issue and can someone a suggest a permanent fix or even point out maybe a possible user error on my end.
