[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xiara:
Hey,

this started that I wanted to create a NANDROID backup using AlphaRev; the recovery worked fine, I was able to copy everything to my computer (using AlphaRev's mass storage mount function). However then, after I unmounted, somehow everything broke. I could no longer access my sd card, neither in the bootloader (which just returns E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)), and also not in Android itself (I'm running Oxygen, and that is still running, except that all programs are missing, probably due to missing sd card or whatever).

So I searched, and found this post which led me to this USB unbrick tutorial. As I'm unable to use adb (can't find the device), I guess it is a USB brick.

However in the bootloader, it says "HBOOT USB PLUG", so it at least seems to see the USB somehow. Anyhow, I tried to restore the SD card functionality using that first step, and got an error:

> fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
...
FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))
finished. total time: 0.000s

I also tried a few other options, like a simple "fastboot reboot-bootloader", but that fails as well. "fastboot devices" does list my device ("phoneid fastboot"), so at least that works. However I have no idea how to proceed now, given that the fix to restore my phone doesn't even work.

What can I do? Please help me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xiara:
Okay, I have no idea how I did this now, but the "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" suddenly worked. As expected this did not restore my USB connection, so I really am bricked. I could however restore my NAND-backup, so I am running a fully working Android again.

I wanted to continue in the USB-Brick Fix howto now, but I actually have no idea how to put those files on my SD card. I don't have a Micro-SD card reader, and accessing the sd card via my phone obviously doesn't work. Is there any other way? Otherwise I'm going to buy myself a Micro-SD card reader now.. :/

Also I wanted to use the CID Generator in that post (as my CID is "HTC__102"), however where do I find out the ROM version? I'm using a custom ROM, so obviously HTCs version number does not apply. Do I have to use the first version number from my backup RUU (that's the only number that has the same format)? Because that one would be "2.29.405.5".

Thanks for your help!

[edit]

God, I'm stupid! I do have a working Android… so I can just download the files on my phone and place them there myself.. Doh..

[edit2]

Okay, I got everything working again! Now I can try to do what I initially wanted to start with (flashing a different partition layout..); or I'll wait for tomorrow, because this really made me worry a lot D:

Thanks anyway :D

This one looks sharp!

Just my luck that I flashed Wired theme yesterday, and now this gem :)

I do believe I'll be trying this one out pretty soon.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] strapped365:
When you do your gonna have to do a fresh flash because I'm not sure how the themes will mesh, I just went ahead and flashed supreme right over the theme to erase it, but it did some wonky things with system apps that had been removed so i recommend a fresh flash when changing themes
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] prboy1969:
Deffinately agree on that. Have had some weird things happen with just a reflash over another theme.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] codygs83:
Gotcha.

I just flashed on top of the theme before I read this post.

I'll keep an eye on the system apps and wait and see what happens. But I do kinda like starting fresh.... I get in trouble though with my wife. She says I play with my phone to much! lol

It should but watch what themes you run because some will kill ram usage, i think this is on the list that has compressed apks in it so it kills about 40mb more of your ram than normal

[HTC Sensation] EtherealRemnant:
After booting with the *fixed* charging issue, I opened up ROM Manager and was prompted to update to the latest version. 5.0.0.10 I believe.

**********DO NOT DO THIS UPDATE AS IT WILL KILL CHARGING**************

I only escaped because I had a spare battery from my previous Sensation that luckily had enough charge left to turn on the device.

************DO NOT UPDATE UNLESS THE DEVS SAY SO***********

You may lose the ability to charge your phone! Meaning - if it dies, the phone is dead. End of the line. The only reason I could bring my own phone back was because I had another Sensation battery that fortunately had enough juice to boot up and for me to flash the image here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

Do not make the same mistake I did or you risk a **************************************BRICK*********************************

Please do not do any updates !!!!! Koush or not, the charging issue is a very REAL threat! I tried everything and if I did not have a spare battery, I would be completely screwed right now!

No problems here either
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
I updated to v5.0.1.0 and got no problems with it. I got 3 battieries so no worries! You wont brick your phone either if you run out of juice, theres a micky mouse way to "jump starting" your dead battery posted above. You guys should really invest $15 for an external charger and anker battery from ebay. The investment is so little for piece of mind.
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
No issues here either.

I think you, sir, need to get yourself a new charger :D
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
External charger? Since when would a dead battery = a brick? It's not an iPhone with internal battery that can't be removed.

You aren't even on the latest version of CWM. 5.0.1.0 is the latest and 100% stable.

[HTC Sensation] tomS01:
I did today morning and no any trouble!

If you have some new in your phone pls charge your phone to 100% and keep on charger after you must make battery wipe across cwm your phone will work perfectly! My advise if something went wrong search the mistake inside yourself!
[HTC Sensation] BlackVision:
I have always been afraid of upgrading after the last fiasco. I remember the problem occurred when you uncheck fastboot. But when fastboot was unchecked the phone would not charge. Knowing that fastboot is default on many ROMs, are you guys sure the issue has been resolved in the update? Did you try checking to see charging was happening when you actually uncheck the fastboot?
[HTC Sensation] bml5631:
Yes. To prove to yourself, pull battery put back hook up to computer and...

adb shell cat /sys/devices/platform/htc_battery/power_supply/battery/status

result is "charging"

[HTC Sensation] EtherealRemnant:
Well it wasn't for me. I'm S-OFF, fully rooted and I was on the latest CWM until I died anyway... I could *NOT* charge and if you look how many posts I've had, you understand that I am not full of ****. Something isn't right when I get a number of flashing signals and then *zilch* - locking my thread isn't something that accomplishes anything. Has ANYONE else noticed or realized the same thing as me? In order to fix my phone, I had to flash it to the CWM in the thread. That thread exists for a reason and it hasn't been updated to 5.0.0.10 - SO *maybe*, we need to look at what carriers these phones that survive come from. My phone is TMO US and has the latest TMO US radio - I've *never* been able to get into bootloader out of the box - this includes AFTER S-OFF. I *have* to use ADB because no matter the combination of VOL D+POWER or VOL U+POWER, it always just *BOOTS*, stock or not. Maybe I am in a unique situation and if you want to lock the thread, then lock it. But at least try to get others opinions before you send my thread to oblivion.

It was NOT charging last night. I could not got it to turn on and plugging it in to the wall charger *OR* the USB PC charger, it would flash a number of times and turn solid for less than a second and then die. I am telling the truth. What reason do I have to lie?

EDIT: Oh and when I flashed the 5.0.0.8, I am able to charge. Trust me, I have flip-flopped between the two versions and batteries and it *WILL NOT* charge, at least on my phone, with the latest CWM.
[HTC Sensation] phoenx06:
I and many others from the original thread have TMO US Sensation 4G's and are not having any problems. If you've been flashing from Rom Manager, try doing the .img from fastboot or the P58IMG.zip in HBOOT.

There actually is a problem with this version of CWM, so far quite a people have reported this:

When backing up a ROM with 5.0.1.0, you will lose root if you restore that backup.

I do not know if this has been reported to the dev yet or not.
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
I lost root on two of my backups yesterday on two different roms. Hopefully my main one disentangle run into that problem. I always check SU's binary update to see if it will be able to gain root. It suzanne LOL!
[HTC Sensation] knickscity:
The new version seem to work like it should, but then again, my phone has never been completely dead.

I have no intention of being there either.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Works fine. When your battery dies completely the orange light will just blank but won't boot if u press power. All you have to do is a battery pull and problem is solved. Had that issue since the update and I just left it on the charger, when I saw that it wasn't booting I unplugged it did a battery pull, and press power and it booted with no problem. Also when I got to my homescreen my battery was charged to 55%, so it does charge when off.
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Doesn't belong here. There is another thread to discuss issues.

Wish the mods weren't so worthless on here..
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
So cwm is the culprit? I lost root on Eagleblood outta nowhere.
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
Make sure you backup superuser using the superuser app,then restore that after the backup
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
Dont know but I lost root access on MT S4G rom and Beast rom which were both TMOUS based roms. Now I hear you lost it on Eagleblood which is another US based rom. I kept root access on InsertCoin which is EU based. I dont know if its related or if its CWM but I hope somebody will find something out soon. Usually nandroids are what we really rely on and if they are unstable its gonna sux!

[Desire General] Futuredev.tjb:
I've seen some threads saying that I just have to apply a ruu but the problem is that my carrier doesn't have a ruu. I gotta send my phone back to the carrier so I can't flash another desire ruu. So is it possible to turn s-on without using a ruu?
[Desire General] elliottg61:
Use the search button, this has been answered hundreds of times
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
You should think and read the solving posts for this question. They all say "flash ruu".

@Futuredev.tjb:

I do not know how to do this. And I cannot image someone does because as far as I understand the matter you cannot go back to complete stock without flashing ruu.
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Sure you can. You get just about any ruu and unpack the "hboot.img" Then you can flash this using fastboot commands(if you are on the newer alpharev hboots you will need to flash the downgrader hboot first).

However you should make sure the ruu will work for your phone(ie. gsm vs cdma and slcd vs amoled), but the newer ones should do just fine.
[Desire General] danarama:
Exactly this. Or even use a PB99IMG.zip with just the hboot.img in it.
[Galaxy S II General] galinha:
Hello ;

How i solve this ?

When using the Android Market website, a device will be grayed out if it isn’t compatible with the app you’re attempting to install. Most commonly, this occurs because the app isn’t designed for your device's screen size or version of Android.

HELP !!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] peare:
Why do you want to install an app which is not compatible with your device?
[Galaxy S II General] galinha:
They are...solved ...

-build.prop file with dalvik.vm.heapsize=70m and the ro.build.fingerprint changed to that of a nexus s.(this should allow you to see ALL the apps in the market)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Step666:
To get an image to fit perfectly, it needs to be 1600 pixels wide and 1280 pixels high.

This is exactly the same aspect ratio as the wallpaper crop/selection tool, so nothing of the image is lost.

But, obviously, not all of the wallpaper is shown on the screen, so to make sure you get the part you want, it would need to fit the following template:

​

The red area is the centre screen when holding the tablet in landscape mode, the area with the translucent blue overlay is the centre screen when holding it in portrait and the green area just represents the size the image has to be - obviously, as you swipe between screens, some of the green area will become visible.

You can test it yourself by clicking on the image, going to my dA page and downloading the full 1600x1280 version and putting it on your Tab.

The only issue I encountered with it is if you're using ADW EX, you only have a single homescreen and wallpaper scrolling is enabled, it doesn't line up on the red area like you would expect it to, it shifts to the side.

But if you switch wallpaper scrolling off, then it snaps to the red area properly (and lets face it, if you're only using a single screen, it's not like you need it to scroll...).

Now, I have read elsewhere that the reason a lot of Honeycomb wallpapers are 1920 wide is so that they still look good when the Tab is connected to an HDMI out.

I'm not so sure that's been thought-through but if you're worried about it, then you scale it up from 1600x1280 to 1920x1536 and that should be the correct aspect ratio to fit the wallpaper selection tool exactly (NB - I haven't checked this myself though) - just bear in mind that if you did that, the read and blue boxes would then cover areas of 1536x960 and 960x1536 respectively.

Hope that helps.

edit: looking at it again, I just realised it's exactly the same as for Android phones.

Taking the screen res in portrait, your image needs to be the height of the screen and twice the width.

edit #2: if you want to be able to size your wallpapers correctly without having fit it into the template above, see below...

There are two apps that might be of some use to you.

I'm not recommending them, I don't as of the time of writing use either myself but it's worth being aware of your options.

Firstly, Wallpaper Wizardrii, which allows you to set a 1280x800px image as your wallpaper and have it fit the screen perfectly by disabling wallpaper scrolling.

Secondly, Multi-Picture Live Wallpaper, which allows you to set different images as your wallpaper on each screen of your homescreen.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Autinhyeu:
Many thanks for this :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] markp99:
Thanks Step666,

This does mirror what I see in ADW. However, when I i simply use wizardrii without ADW the wallpaper image appears to be center-justified in both portait and landscape.

In ADW the wallpaper appears to be top-justified. If your wallpaper has a center of focus, that center is different in Portrait and landscape - this is a source of frustration for me. ADW is currently uninstalled and not usable for me right now.

My primary use-mode is landscape, so I suppose I can re-size the image as you note above, and then simple deal with the odd offset the rare times I am in portrait mode.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Kapi187:
Thanks Step, I'll give this a try when I get home...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Step666:
You're both very welcome.

It all depends on your needs of course, I wasn't taken with the wizardrii app, it seemed very clunky and I don't like the idea of having to have something running all the time just to get my wallpaper right.

But then again, I have wallpaper scrolling switched off and ADW locked into horizontal, so it's a lot easier for me to sort out a wallpaper manually.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Hong Zhang:
Thanks very much Step666.

I have a question here regarding the default wallpaper's aspect ratio... wondering how it works... as it's not able to fit into the template above, and not compatible with the aspect ratio of the Tab display either... will some of the default wallpaper will be cropped off especially when holding the Tab in portrait? Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Step666:
I don't know what size Samsung's stock wallpapers are but assuming they're 1920x1408 like the I/O stock wallpapers, that means they're shorter than they should be, so when you select/crop the wallpaper, it'll be too wide, so you'll lose something from the left and/or right edges.

But obviously, as I said before, even within the selected area, you will only ever see a small portion (slightly under 50% once the status-bar covers some of it.) on the screen at any one time.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Hong Zhang:
Hi Step666,

I tried to use the template for test in my Tab, but found that my wallpaper select/crop app doesn't fit into this template... :confused: you could see it from the following screenshot, any insights? Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jzen:
I find that 1920 x 1440 fits like a glove...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Hong Zhang:
I just tried with 1920×1408, and this aspect ratio can fit into the wallpaper select/crop app perfectly... but some of the content on the top and down(maybe left and right) cannot be selected by this app.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Step666:
I don't know to be honest, it fits perfectly on my Tab.

I'm at work just now and my Tab's at home but when I get home, I'll load it up and get a screenshot.

Just one small thing, the people who are finding my template doesn't fit, are you all using TouchWiz?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Hong Zhang:
Thank you, Step666.

Yes, the GT-7510 Tab released in China is equipped TouchWiz 4.0 by default.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Step666:
Apologies for taking so long to get back to you, here are some screenshots from my Tab...

The first two show me sizing up the template which fits exactly and the third one is the wallpaper I use - it's got the same green background, that's how sure I am that the dimensions I quoted are right (NB I don't ever see the green part because I have my homescreen set to landscape and wallpaper scrolling disabled).

(click to embiggen)

The only thing I can think of is that TouchWiz changes the way you select the wallpaper...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Hong Zhang:
I see.... thanks again, Step666. So, it's due to the TouchWiz... :cool: , which is making wallpaper customized more complicated... sigh...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Step666:
I think, I can't be sure.

If I get a bit of free time, I might try updating again to TouchWiz and seeing what's what.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Hong Zhang:
Thank you, Step666. I just don't understand why the app leaves margins... :o
