[Streak 5 General] todd69:
I went to sell my Streak 2 weeks ago, did factory reset and the phone got stuck in a loop, usual fixes wouldn't work so sent it back to dell and got a new one back a week later.

Sold my Desire HD instead and kept the dell :D
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
If you have made many alterations/modding to be safe I would flash a stock ROM with the stock recovery. This is the equivalent of a factory reset and the phone will have to be set up from scratch. If the person you are selling to wants a custom rom flash the stock ROM the custom ROM is based on and then flash the custom ROM.

Your Android Market apps will follow your gmail account. Set up your new phone with that account and your paid apps will be shown in the market on the new phone. You can also turn on the setting to back up your data to Google on the old phone and let that sync before wiping/flashing it. Your data is supposed to be restored when you set up the new phone and reinstall the apps. I would sync your old phone and restore your new phone while connected to WiFi.

Go to Settings->Privacy

select Back up my data and Automatic restore

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tun4f1sh:
edit: can you clarify if you're CLOCKWORK recovery, or STOCK recovery when you see those errors? If the former, just jump to the last step of my walk-through and proceed.

You're in good shape, and we should be able to get you sorted with relative ease.

Assuming you have ADB setup, if not, get it setup and working before following these steps.

- Download fastboot from here: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s2

- Place the fastboot.exe file in your adb tools directory (typically C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools)

- Download this file: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.1.0-vision.img

- Rename it "recovery.img"

- Place it in your adb tools folder (C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools)

- Connect your phone via USB to your computer, and boot into the bootloader, you should now be in fastboot mode (phone should say "FASTBOOT USB" in red)

- Open a command prompt and switch to your adb tools directory where you moved "fastboot.exe" and "recovery.img".

- Run the following command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (leave the quotes out)

- Once it's complete, you should be able to boot into recovery (try it a few times if it hangs on the white HTC splash), mount USB, copy a ROM over and install it.

Let me know if you have any problems/questions.

[HTC EVO 3D] JoshuaAlba:
Hey guys. Figured since we don't have much to do with using the 3D capabilities on our phones, I found out a neat trick on converting those red and blue 3D pictures into SBS 3D for our Evo 3D (Not E3O). Mods, move or delete if this thread is unnecessary or if the flamers get out of hand.

Anyhoo, basically I was really bored and started downloading anaglyph photos and saw if I can view them on my Evo 3D. I doubled the image, and moved the second image 5-10% to the left, so the left is a little cut off. Then after I dragged the files to my DCIM/100media folder, I renamed the file from jpg to jpg.mpo. Opened up gallery, and you can view them in pretty decent 3D. Try it out for yourselves. These were the pictures I used and files just in case you wanna see for yourself.

At least it's something to do until we get CM7/MIUI. :)

PS I used paint because I'm too lazy to install photoshop. Either or is fine, but I kinda wished I used photoshop instead.

[Nexus S General] onigiri1692:
Go to the market and download an app called Script Manager and use the script I've attached to this post, it activates the touchkey back light dimmer after 30 seconds and can be easily modified to whatever you like. I found the script somewhere on the board but one can be easily created with Script Manager so that you can take advantage of Ezekeel's mods and not have to worry about setting them everytime you reboot.

[HTC Desire S] Quark^2:
I'm about to flash my first custom ROM on my Desire S.

It's S-OFF, rooted and fully backed up (nandroid, titanium backup, SD to PC).

I tried to read as much as possible abut the flashing process and some of the android internals. Excuse me if my questions are still a bit noobish, I tried to read a lot.

I've decided to try CM7 and repartition my SD card to add an ext4 sd-ext partition.

Before I flash, I still have some questions:

- Where is HBOOT located exactly? /boot ?

- Where is the recovery (ClockworkMod in my case) located? /recovery ?

- Revolutionary installed ClockworkMod. However, ROM Manager also offered me to flash it (that's what I did). Did ROM Manager overwrite the ClockworkMod in /recovery?

- Assuming that /boot and /recovery are critical (from my previous questions), and that they are backed up and available (nandroid backup files) on my PC, can I always push those back with adb in case something goes wrong?

- What's the correct order for the flash + repartition?

Repartition first, allow the wipe (data + everything) to wipe the SD during flashing, copy data back after new ROM is running?

- What's the safest/best way to flash? From HBOOT/recovery? Or ROM Manager? Or do they actually do exactly the same?

I.e. ROM Manager rebooting and starting ClockworkMod?

Sorry for all the questions. I'm pretty sure that the flash will work fine, but I always like to know more about the internals first.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Very impressed to see someone actually ask intelligent questions....and seek a real understanding..

Unfortunately its now my dinner time....so I only have a few minutes....so I'll attempt to answer quickly:

YES (boot.img in backup), YES (recovery.img in backup) and unless you play lots of games and require lots of ext space this device has a decent amount of internal storage so that it doesn't require sd-ext partitions (that's just my opinion anyway - these partitions are something from when devices had minimal internal storage)

What I will say is yes you downgraded the CWM version that revolutionary had installed with an older one from ROM Mananager. So you'll be much better of to install EXT4 recovery (which is based on CWM) and overwrite the old CWM, so simply download this file onto your SD card and flash it from recovery over the existing CWM recovery....then when you reboot recovery you'll have the EXT4.
[HTC Desire S] kazen44:
what are the advantages of ext4 recovery exactly? im also running the CWM from the CWMM.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
For a start its based on the same code base as CWM, but, has lots of added functionality, is far more user friendly, is constantly being updated and can be themed! The support is immense as well, just look at the thread.

there's too many to mention, simply read the EXT4 forum link in the page above so see them for yourself!

Just the file system conversion part of it is worth it!
[HTC Desire S] kazen44:
whats the advantage of ext4 on a phone instead of ext3? ive worked with both filesystems quite a lot on my desktop PC. but there does not seem to be a major diffrence. i know that EXT4 supports journaling far better then ext3 does. but thats about the only thing i notice as diffrent on my linux install.
[HTC Desire S] evmt:
Actually boot and hboot are different things. I'm not 100% sure but I think that the kernel is located in the /boot partition, you are able to format it or replace its content from within the recovery.

Hboot is the initial bootloader that is located in a secure block of eMMC, you can't access it from recovery and can't backup it. If you completely wipe all partitions accessible through recovery, you still can easily install new ROM or restore from backup, even if you lose your recovery you can still restore it through fastboot. Phone with damaged or incorrect hboot is definitely a brick, it won't be accessible through PC connection and won't load up. Normally it's only possible to make permanent damage to the phone if you incorrectly flash hboot or radio image, while it's possible to brick even without messing with them, it's usually caused by faulty hardware (eMMC chip).
[HTC Desire S] Quark^2:
Ok thanks all so far.

So, HBOOT resides in eMMC and not is easily accessible (but still flashable).

At least, that's what Revolutionary did, my current HBOOT shows "Revolutionary" in the first line.

The kernel resides in /boot, which is the same for all all regular linux distros.

I think I have a clearer picture of the internals now. Still not 100% clear, but getting there.

I am going to flash 4EXTRecovery first, before trying to flash my first custom ROM.

Ofcourse, repeating the backup cycle, just in case.

I'm only left with these questions (for now ;-):

- What's the best way to flash now? From ROM Manager or 4EXTRecovery (from HBOOT manually)?

- Does the Wiping (everything, data + cache) also clear my SD card? I'm fairly sure it does.
[HTC Desire S] evmt:
ROM Manager loads recovery in order to flash, so there is no real difference. Flashing from HBOOT is only required for updating hboot itself or radio, I'm pretty sure it's better to use recovery to flash everything else.

Wiping everything formats /boot, /system, /data and /cache partitions, it doesn't wipe SD card (would be kinda stupid if it did actually, as CWM recovery places backup files on SD). I still make SD card backups from time to time, just for convenience.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Thanks for the correction , I also have a slightly clearer picture of the internals myself. :D
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Thanks for the correction , and on thinking it through of course you're right, I also have a slightly clearer picture of the internals myself. :D
[Nexus One General] oriharel:
I had MIUI. I updated recovery to 5.0.1.0, then I wanted to restore previous backup. when clicking restore from ROM Manager, I was taken to the bootloader and it seemed that the device is unable to launch recovery.

then I launched the device in regular mode, went to ROM manager, flashed the newest recovery again, then I hit "Boot into recovery", and I was taken to recovery, but on any item selection, I get the ROM manager hat icon and nothing happens.

then I went to ROM Manager, moved to "Restore", recovery seemed to start normally but was suspiciously fast. then the device restarted and hanged on the famous Nexus One 'X' screen.

When boot into recovery, again, when I select any item I get the hat logo and nothing happens.

So now, regular boot hangs, and recovery won't perform any action.

Anyone experiencing the same?

Thanks

p.s. I was trying to restore into regular CM7

The problem is CWM 5.0 is saving the file's name a little differently.
