[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] XphX:
Well that is not surprising Vk_, I have all those apps and stuff too and if you delete the wrong file there, well... good thing that you cannot brick your phone :D

The partition mounted to cust_backup won't be overwritten by the wiping that is usually done before installing a new ROM. This is because it contains the files needed for entering recovery-mode etc.

This Elisa-folder contains stuff that is needed, maybe even the bootlogo (I just thought about this for a few minutes now, so I don't know what it is for). This has nothing to do with the ROM previously installed or with the Huawei-ROM. This folder is necessary for every u8800-device to work properly regardless of which Android-ROM is installed. Mine is called 2020 instead (that might depend on where you got it from).

The point of applying the newest release is that you can make sure to get the latest baseband-firmware and maybe even updates for other parts. I do not know if these updates are installed via cust_backup but that could just be the case. It isn't important though; at least I get great reception everywhere so I do not need to update the baseband.

The baseband updates the program that controls the radio-chip. This firmware has its own area on the radio-chip, this firmware won't be stored on the device. But a file to update this firmware will be on the device (maybe it is deleted automatically after updating).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
now i think im much clearer.. thx..

then probably i dont need to update to B138 as i have good signal reception everywhere, and can sleep well since i know my phone is not with sub-perfect firmware.. 8)

for the cust-backup discussion, i also had similar doubt before..

glad that i didnt really go ahead to remove this useless "/cust_backup/image/cust_data/pccw/hk/" folder tree..

i just wonder how it manage to survive between rom wipes and installs..

this pccw folder came from the provider where i bought my phone, and in B136 rom its "/cust_backup/image/cust_data/hw/ideos_x5/"

after flashing B136, my phone could boot but things like custom boot animation, ring tones were lost..

i had to rename "hw" to "pccw", "ideos_x5" to "hk" to make them re-appear..

thus the linkage to this special folder tree seems to survive after complete wipes..

anyway before anyone tells me how to remove the whole tree, i shall leave them there..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] XphX:
Yes I wrote that this partition never gets wiped or anything, so that is why it survives every wipe and ROM-install.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
actually it gets wiped (probably by the update_cust.app part in the B136 stock rom)..

before its "/cust_backup/image/cust_data/pccw/hk/"..

and after flashing B136 it changes to "/cust_backup/image/cust_data/hw/ideos_x5/"..

thus its updated, but somehow i have to manually rename "/hw/ideos_x5/" back to "/pccw/hk/" in order to make my custom boot animation and ring tones work again..

they were put in "media" folder under the tree, but somehow they wont work until i change the folder names back to "/pccw/hk/"..

thats why i said the "linkage" to these folder tree got survived between rom installs, but not the folder tree itself (which was updated by update_cust.app)..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] XphX:
No it does not get wiped. The stock ROM (and for that matter, every ROM can do that) simply changed the files in the directory you specified in your post. It does not matter anyway (so why am I writing this?;D).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
just for the sake of discussion, maybe?! ;)

Sounds like the battery is flat, maybe a problem with the charger or usb plug is not charging the battery? Does the light go on when you plug the charger in? Does it go green, if not then it would indicate a battery /charger problem

Mmm this is what happened to mine when you try to flash it on pc does get to about 90 percent then disconnect
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runaway_bunny:
I faced the same issue.

My phone's problem was that when I upgraded to a new ROM, I didnt wiped the battery stats.

And phone was not turning on as the battery was flat and it was not charging also.

This is what I did.

Opened flash tool.

Removed the battery.

Pressed back button of phone and connected USB to phone and PC.

Inserted the battery.

Now I see the green LED means phone is in flash mode.

I kept phone like that for almost 10 mins ! (battery will actually charge a little when we do so)

Later I disconnected and switched on phone and it worked !

The first thing I did was rebooting into recoevry and wiping battery stats.

And the actuall battery was less than 10 % !

You can have a try this way and see if it can be fixed.

Good luck ! :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibike2much:
I did the same as Runaway Bunny. It worked perfectly after that. Just be sure to wipe the battery stats and FULLY charge your phone immediately.

EDIT

I ALSO had an issue with the USB port going bad so you may watch for that as well if the above does not work.

And let us know how you made out.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
Thats very bad i kept my phone 5-6 hours on charge and it turned on this happened to me 3 times in a day:eek:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wai612124:
I've been followed the step, but it show red LED (flash slowly) not green LED.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitalbr:
What you see in LogCat when you use USB while switching on ?

I guess, now you can start ADB while switching on and wipe stats through command prompt, hope it helps.

I know this is a late addition, but if all else failed then it very well might be the usb cord, i had to replace mine as it stopped working. I picked up 2 on ebay for $4 which included postage :) and 2 replacement batteries set me back $10 delivered :)

[HTC EVO 3D] jedinegotiator:
With the stock rom when someone called your phone you didnt have to unlock the phone to answer. Ever since using SupraRom I have to unlock the phone to answer a phone call which takes time and sometimes makes me miss a call. Is there a way to fix this?
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Maybe cause you have the htc sense 3.0 lock screen ?
[HTC EVO 3D] jedinegotiator:
Its Supra Rom...it uses the ASOP Lock Screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
That it's why. You need the sense 3.0 lockscreen for that to function properly.
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
This is a known issue with all roms that have sense removed and use the aosp lockscreen. You will have to use the suprarom sense version if you want it to work right, or any other sense ROM.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briskly:
Okay, so usually I'm able to fix things like this but I'm just completely lost. Some details:

Device: Nexus S GT-i9020A

Carrier: AT&T

So, a few hours ago I had installed the MIUI rom via the official MIUI website following their guide. While following it, I wasn't paying attention and forgot to do a backup of my stock rom. Anyways, I had the MIUI rom installed but noticed chinese characters coming up throughout the rom so I decided to go back to stock. After numerous searches on google and XDA, I tried moving different nandroid backups to my device. I also tried moving other stock roms but nothing seems to be working. Something that's making me even more nervous is that I don't have service and it's not even attempting to connect to my carrier. My current stats in the about section of my phone:

Model number: Nexus S

Android version: 2.3.1

Baseband version: Unknown

Build number: GRH78

:$ Any ideas?

P.S. The mobile networks menu in settings is grayed out.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suksit:
I'd suggest downloading the full ROM from this thread (read carefully which one is for your phone model), then flashing it with ClockWorkMod recovery. Don't forget to wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing.

Hi guys,

I've just downloaded the 2X Cliente Remote Desktop for Android but I'm having a hard time making it work.

I've chosen Terminal Server Connection

Alias - some random alias I came up with to test

Server - the IP address of the computer I want to be able to remotely connect to

Port - 3389 (I've added this to my port forwarding list on my router)

Username - some random username I came up with to test

In connection mode it's greyed out and it says "Gateway mode"

When I try to connect it says:

The specified remote connection could not be found.

Verify that you have typed the correct computer name or IP address, and then try to connect again.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't tried that app i think. But i have tried like 6 apps for remote desktop or VNC, but none were to my liking. They all had lag, and were 6 frames each second max. I want to be able to game and watch movies threw remote desktop. So if you ever find a good remote desktop application, please let me know!

Concerning your problem, for most of the apps i've used i needed to install a windows program that enabled a VNC server for remote desktop. Did you install that? And ofcourse, your firewall isn't blocking anything? And the username you specified, make sure it's an existing windows username with the same password and administration rights.

Hope it helps....

[Milestone XT720 General] fernovaes:
Is there a project for an android rom 2.3 with baseband Europe or USA? I like the work being done, but an android rom 2.3 would make a big difference for this phone.

One suggestion would be to make a port of the Milestone 2.3 rom. Or use a Cyanogem 2.3.5. If developers need help testing or other things, I am available.

But I want to make this suggestion which I think is helpful.
[Milestone XT720 General] LibertyMonger:
hey bud, welcome to our forum as I suppose you are new. We are very fortunate with the ROM's we have presented to you as it has been a long tough road for the few Dev's we are so fortunate to have here. Considering Moto did not offer us an upgrade to 2.2 and the locked bootloader it has been a tough road to 2.2, as most other good phones with less or same as or better Hardware all got the 2.2 upgrades, therefore it was easier for the Dev's of those phones to proceed forward to a 2.3 ROM. We are very proud of the progress our dev's have made to help bring us 2.2 we are just now getting close to perfection. So you may have come at a good time, your struggle to get to 2.2 is already bypassed and there are a few Dev's currently working on ways to bring us 2.3. If you take the time to look around the threads you can see their progress. As for me, I am very grateful for our 2.2's since Moto never intended for us to have it! lol.
[Milestone XT720 General] androidlover123:
Definitely agreed I remember the time when I saw this forum asking Dexter to help make 2.2 ROM and since then, the devs here have managed to make many wonderful and stable 2.2 ROMs. As for me, I'm not too concerned with gingerbread cos I perfectly happy with the 2.2 ROMs!!

Nicely working on froyo as well, tested on devoid#froyo-final.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] base45c:
Good work!

On stock roms, dalvik-cache is generally stored at /data/dalvik-cache (i.e. the nand on mtdblock#)

- Note: any init.d scripts e.g. apps2sd,data2ext,data2w - may also be set to relocate /data/dalvik-cache elsewhere

The size used for dalvik-cache varies between roms and applications installed.

My original sizes for dalvik-cache used (before dalvik-tmpfs)

'df -h /data/dalvik-cache'

HTC G1 - Froyo	= used 29M

Desire - CM7.1	= used 31M

Desire - Sense	= used 120.1M

For initial "Dalvik Cache in tmpfs" v0.2 tests on sense, I increased the tmpfs size from 96m to 140m.

mount -t tmpfs -o size=[B]140m[/B],mode=0771,uid=1000,gid=1000 tmpfs /data/dalvik-cache

(Later I set it to approx 160m - 180m to allow for installing more applications)

(Additionally, I resized/remounted the other existing unused tmpfs smaller. I found it multitasks quite well)

Yes, the /data/dalvik-cache should be now listed on tmpfs.

Also the size used for /data/dalvik-cache (and the *.dex files inside) - before and after adding the dalvik-tmpfs v0.2 script should be about the same.

Any additional info? Was it just a ROM you were trying to flash or was it a radio or recovery or something? I've never seen a rom flash attempt go that bad. I recall, a few posts back, someone else flashing a ROM for an EVO 4G or something on his and he' was ok after a little work. If you can't get to recovery, hboot, or get adb to see your phone correctly i'm not 100% sure. You may be able to push a RUU to it via adb despite it showing up with a weird name. Or you may be able to flash a recoery to it via adb then install your desired .zip from there after wiping all data.

[HTC EVO 3D] mikehan:

But it still can't work although I tried every ways the thread said.
[HTC EVO 3D] dastin1015:
An updater-script is just telling recovery what to do when flashing and settings permissions and whatnot. The kitchen is required to turn it into an update-script (old syntax) because it is the syntax used commonly on older devices that many people still use and is what the scripts in the kitchen use to perform its functions. The kitchen will convert it back into an updater-script when building the ROM.

P.S. Bricking means to render it completely useless. If it boots at all and can do certain things it is soft bricked not bricked. :)
