[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N79:
Hello to all XDA-members

I have a problem with a Desire, I had installed the Gingerbread RUU from HTC. I used revolutionary to gain S-Off and it worked so than I choosed the option to install CWM which revolutionary offered me, the flashing was succesful, but when I tried to enter recovery I always stopped at the HTC splash screen and than nothing happen. So the problem is I can't access Clockworkmod.

I tried many other CWM-version like 4.0xxx or 3.02xxx, AmonRA, but always the same result.

I tried it with fastboot and also to boot the image "fastboot boot CWM.zip" and again it hangs by the HTC Screen.

Desire info:

In the Bootloader screen I see this:

-Revolutionary-

BRAVO DVT1 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-6.93.1002

MICROOP-031D

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-5.17.05.23

Aug 10 2010, 17:52:18

and here is the Info that the Fastboot Commander tool showed by print device info:

SPL/hboot version: 6.93.1002.

Radio version: 5.17.05.23.

Main software version: 3.14.405.1.

cid: 11111111.

cpld: none.

product: bravo.

mid: pb992****.

security: off.

build-mode: ship.

I have a 4GB SanDisk MicroSD(HC) Class 2, I'm thinking about to partition the SD card, maybe this can solve the problem, I would be very happy if you can show me a good tutorial how to do it (maybe than recovery work). I noticed something too, when I'm entering fastboot (the menu where recovery is) it always looks into the SDcard for some images:

SD Cheking...

Loading...[PB99DIAG.zip]

No image!

Loading...[PB99DIAG.nbh]

No image or wrong image!

Loading...[PB99IMG.zip]

No image!

Loading...[PB99IMG.nbh]

No image or wrong image!

Maybe it's looking to Update the Current ROM......hope someone can help me! :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
first of all: it is supposed to look into the sd-card for those files. Nothing wrong there.

second: my quote indicates that the recovery you are flashing is in zip format. this isn't right. It must be in .img format. To flash the recovery correctly download rom manager from the market and press flash recovery.

If you can't boot to your rom, flash the following .img file using fastboot commands: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.1.0-bravo.img
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N79:
I'm sorry it was my writing mistake .zip I used .img, tried now the recovery 5.0 but why it hangs at the HTC splash screen when I try to enter the recovery.....? I don't know what I'm doing wrong, must I wait 10min to enter CWM?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
No you must not. Have you tried to make "rom manager" flash the recovery for you? it should work just fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N79:
Just tried ROM Manager too, but it says "An errir occurred while attempting to run privileged commands" SuperUser is not installed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjakuipers:
Installing SuperUser?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N79:
Solved

Hey Guys just want to say that my problem is solved, I flashed this Recovery "RMD Recovery v1.0.3.4" and all is good now, thank you all for your support.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda<3:
I'm flashing the dev phone stock rom for the g1 on a canadian ebi1 rogers dream. I've changed my radio to g1 hence i went from ebi1 to ebi0. I have a question though.. Would these be the steps to flash it?

At http://developer.htc.com/

1) download the system image (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-img-14721 )

2) unzip the zip file on your computer

2) make sure you have a 2.22.* radio less than 2.22.27.08 (2.22.19.26I is the one this rom shipped with)

3) run 'fastboot erase system -w'

4) using the files in that zip run 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' and 'fastboot flash system system.img'

5) boot the phone, you will be on the official google rom

EDIT: I've flashed it succesfully.. Turns out I didn't like the rom.. flashing another..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Prozel:
Hey guys!

Going to the States tomorrow, I saw this beast is quite cheap unlocked in Amazon, so I'm currently thinking of buying it.

But just to be 100% sure, is there anything is should take note on? I'm from Denmark which also use GSM and same frequencies (I think).

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
If it uses the same frequencies, then you should be fine. But take note, the G2x doesn't include the FM Radio.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Prozel:
I've never in my life used FM radio, so I can live with that :P
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Never used FM radio? Its a new age indeed. Lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Prozel:
So i bought one, but how come 3G don't work? I have typed in the right APN.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Does the g2x support your network 3G frequencies?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sambodie:
Several web sites say Denmark uses 2100 MHz for 3G. Could check the phone settings under "Wireless and networks/Mobile network settings/Data enabled" and make sure data is enabled. Alos check "Network Mode" to make sure it is not on GSM only.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Prozel:
Both things are as you say, and i'm pretty sure MIUI (a backup) was on it for a short time, but it's doesn't connect, weird.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I'm using mine in Thailand on 2100 so that is not the problem. Almost all European carriers use 2100. Make sure you go to APNs in the Networks settings and enter the correct APN for your carrier, give it a name and save it. Then press the radio button to make the selection green. Are you using Network Enabler? That will screw you up if active the first time you are trying to connect to a new network. If you are using that uninstall it or disable it. Also get a program from the Market called Networks. Use it to make sure the phone internally is not set to 2G only. I had that happen once on a phone and it did not show in the settings menu. With that program you can set it to WCDMA Only or WCDMA Preferred. Here is a link to the program.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Conradjl03:
Did you end up using this in Europe? I'm going in fall for school & plan to travel all over. Are you using a local sim card to use it on their towers? I was thinking of just getting a pre-paid sim card there on my buddies unlocked blackberry, but I'd love to use my G2X if possible!

Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sumeet909:
Background:

* I have 2 lines on Family Plan, both with "smartphone exclusion"

* On 1st line, I had Samsung Jack with Medianet Unlimited Plan for 2 years without any problems. Loved the unlimited data for $15 bucks w/ light WIFI and USB tethering, never exceeded 2-3 GB/month.

* On 2nd line, I had a dumb phone

Recently, I upgraded the dumb-phone to Infuse 4G at Best Buy, came home and switched the SIM back into a dumb-phone, called ATT, and had them take the data plan off. I understand that at this point I have lost "smartphone exclusion" on this line because I have upgraded.

Now I took the SIM from my 1st phone (Samsung Jack) and inserted in my Infuse. I used it for happy 3 weeks, no sms from ATT, unlimited data plan stayed on just fine. My billing cycle starts on the 4th; so, today I can see that my unlimited medianet data has been removed, but no data plan has been added (I think smartphone exclusion saved me), but when I look under usage, I can see

Data

GPRS MB WAP/BBRY/ISP 2GB DOM $10.00/1GB ADDL - HSSMTD4O

and then for my data usage, I see:

11.62 MB of 2048 MB

My interpretation is that technically if I wanted to, I could just disable data on my phone, and I wouldn't be forced into a data plan, but they are making sure I can't take advantage of the MediaNet plan either. Any thoughts?

I'm thinking of selling the Infuse and getting a non-ATT smartphone.

Any insightful comments would be appreciated. Please don't bother posting if you don't know what 'smartphone exclusion" is. Or, please don't make a reference to ATT TOC. Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
More than likely eventually they will get you on the Infuse for the regular Smartphone data plan when the system realized the IMEI is from an Infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sumeet909:
OK, then the remaining option is to get unlimited plan via iPhone 2g route, correct?

I think they could not put me on data plan, but they've put me on some kind of "pay per use" data plan with 2GB/$25 to start of. If I don't use any data, I don't pay anything, but if I use even just 1MB, they charge me $25 that month. Smart move by ATT. So, the medianet option is over.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Vegaslightsss:
Unlimited Data Grandfathered

AT&Ts Policy is ,"If they squal loud enough,let them keep their data" I have an Inspire & an Iphone 4 both with 30.00 per month Unlimited Data,Rooted for no Additional Cost for Internet Tethering & Hotspot Use, I came from Blackjack and Palm SMartphones ,said I was leaving for another carrier after I was told I could have a 200mb or 2 gig Data Plan with Overage fees after my Limits were reached,Supervisor was questioned by AT&T Operator and Data was Grandfathered,I have since added a 3rd Line with the Infuse and have Unlimited on that and never even had a 3rd line on the old Plan. SQUEAL LIKE A PIG!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tjy8tim:
don't know what smartphone exclusion is but i'm still going to post and ask what is it?

and to my knowledge, when you bought the infuse 4g, the data plan is bounded by the contract for 2 years, how did you tell them to take it off?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Rldowney:
Want an unreasonable request granted write the oop.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DanMc85:
seeing how i am a sales rep with at&t i will chime in with some thoughts to your question... your old medianet plan isn't compatible with the 4g phone vs wap.cingular apn the new 4G android phones use. So for starters with out modification your internet never would have worked without adding new apn's to the phone.

What happened was, you were correct when your said, your line was grandfathered with smartphone exclusion but that was only for the IMEI of the device that code was added to your account with. The second you changed that data device on that line to another data device, I am willing to bet that code was removed from your line as you lost your grandfather clause by changing device type / IMEI. Thus your plan was changed.

What happened was now since you put your other lines sim card in the phone, it also saw the IMEI didn't match the data plan you had. Removed it, and added the standard 2GB 4G phone data plan to your line. It is not pay per use, you are now most likely being charged $25/month for 2GB of data, the next plan down is $15 for 200MB of data per month, the next plan up is $45 for 4GB of data w/mobile hotspot feature.

Unless you go back to your old phone you can not get your old plan back, that is if you can even get that old plan back as it isn't in the system anymore to my knowledge unless you get a rep with grandfathered plan access over the phone.

You maybe able to call and get a lucky rep to get you on a $30 unlimited plan as you had unlimited before, but they will most likely reject it as it was a different phone/data plan type, otherwise it would have carried over as a $30 unlimited plan automatically when the system changed it.

This is just my 2 cents. I hoped this answered your question without getting in to the TOS as you stated lol

Disclaimer: These thoughts are my own, and don't represent those of at&t.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
You're not on "pay Per Use" you are on the $25/month 2gig plan unless this is some new secret plan they have. Yes, you probably could do the "iPhone 2G trick

and get unlimited for $30/month.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shadow65781:
Hate to be blunt, but you fubared it. The only way to do what you want to is buy an unlocked non att phone with the right gsm radio, and use a feature phone, get the ten dollar unlimited plan, then switch sim to unbranded phone setup apn for att. Not That I've ever done it but a lot of people do. There is also straight talk. 50$a month unlimited everything, but only two of Their phones have the necessary unlocked sim at200$.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] sumeet909:
Thanks! I can do this since I am well within the return policy and other 2 lines have no contract.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sumeet909:
Agreed. Let me ask you another question then, could I ebay the Infuse, buy an unlocked Galaxy S2 (International version), call them and give them IMEI of dumb phone and get the $15 plan? I did mess it up, but I'm within the 30 day return policy window to fix it; just need to find best way out.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sumeet909:
Before I started using Infuse, I did Google this APN thingy and I had setup a new APN for Infuse rather than using the default one.

2nd: Actually, "smartphone exclusion" is still there. That is the strange part, but yes, to your point, it doesn't apply after equipment change - this has been mentioned by your co-workers and I understand it now.

I just need to call them and start yelling. Technically I'm within the 30 day return policy (or is it 14?). Plus, other 2 lines are not in contract. Otherwise, T-Mobile, here we come.....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sumeet909:
Before Sept 2009, AT&T didn't require data plans w/ smartphones. So, After Sept 4, 2009 they required everyone to buy a data plan w/ smartphone. Customers who owned a smartphone prior to that date, were not required to purchase a smartphone and a feature was added to their accounts called "smartphone exclusion". I owned a Samsung Jack prior to that data. After I got "smartphone exclusion", I added $15 media-net and had it for about 2 years. To preserve that feature, I never upgraded my line; I actually upgraded my sister's line to get a new phone and then switched the SIM cards. Alas, that loophole has been shut. AT&T has a crawler in place that checks this and adds data plans unless you have the same equipment IMEI that you got the smartphone with.

I might need to research if IMEI spoofing is possible/legal. Otherwise, might just buy an unlocked non-ATT smartphone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sumeet909:
Do you have a recommendation for non-ATT smartphone that measures up to Infuse?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shadow65781:
Galaxy s2 from Europe. Amazon carries it 600 bones and its yours, or you could get a nexus one with att radio, not sure about it but the nexus s might be unbranded.

Read something last night, after nexus s released on att they caught people who bought it prior to release. Forced them to “rip off" data plan.

CM7, Nightly. Captivate
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sumeet909:
I'm getting ready to bail out Europe by approx 600. That's quite an amount, but ATT is despicable - the lag and bloatware on Infuse is unacceptable and the data restrictions just kill the experience. God save the Euro, USD are on their way.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] oofie:
Any updates on what you did? Did you just buy the GSII and use your old $15 unlimited plan?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sumeet909:
Infuse is on sale on Craigslist. As soon as it is sold, I will use those proceeds to order a European GS2. Strange, it is so difficult to get rid off Android products compared to Apple Snapple. If I don't get good price, I might just end up returning it since I am within 30 day return period. I was hoping to subsidize the GSII cost.

Hey guys, bought my girlfriend a Wildfire not too long ago, and every few days it'll just come up and say "Limited Service" and have no signal. Restarting this seems to sort it until the next time, I'm just wondering if anyone else has this problem?

She doesn't want to root it, but I'm planning on doing it anyway and putting another ROM on it to see if that sorts it. Maybe another radio?

Any help appreciated.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damnegy:
Hi there,

I am new to the Android world and just got a Nexus S (i9023), and am playing with it quite a lot.

I have been using GPA17 ROM and kernel since this morning, and I am mostly satisfied with it, though I do have one question :

I was using stock ROM before, and could store in cache some parts of the map in Maps, just by selecting that option in the location. But after having changed to GPA17, I just do not have access to it, though I have Maps v5.9.0...

Does anyone know why, and/or how I could fix this? (or maybe, it caches map automatically when loading it?)

I cannot post in the Dev section yet, but I do have to wait at unlocking right after I switch my Nexus S on, the desktop takes time to appear (so do the drawer...).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
What's your favorite case for the galaxy s 4g
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] qpqpqp:
Don't like case. I just use a clear scratch resistant screen protector
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
The silicone case they sell at T-Mobile. Can't stand tpu's, or snap cases. I've have bought like 10 different cases and the only one that really fits my phone and completely covers the bezel is the one from T-Mobile. All my tpu's look good but don't cover all bezel. The snap case is just stupid, it breaks even with a small drop. And I don't think I'd ever have the balls to use my phone without a case. Especially in high-school. One drop and hello big a$$ crack on the beautiful screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
I have the amzer silicone case I like it but I'm looking for a hard case now
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
I'm looking for one too, I just can't find one that won't break in half easily (bodyglove), makes my phone a fat @$$ (trident/otterbox), or is completely pointless (barelythere case)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
Ya I wish there was a good kickstand case for our phone like the galaxy s 2

There's a thread about this, but I'll add in my input anyways.

I originally used the low quality TPU cases. High quality ones are obviously more expensive, but those cover better and are also easier to press.

I now use a Trident Aegis. Took me forever to put on the first time (rebooted my phone 5 times), but now I'm a pro at it. :D I love the protection, but I hate that it's so much thicker than the TPU case. It does make the phone feel more sturdy though.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] remarquian:
My favorite is cheap.

I'm partial to the hard rubber i9000 cases, like below.

They're thin, look decent, snap right on and protect the phone from a small fall. It protects the glass minimally with like a 1mm buffer if you lay it down on a flat surface.

They wear out quick (the rubber coating stuff wears off), but at $1.20 a case (including shipping) on ebay they are disposable.

I order like four at a time. I like the black, orange and red.

I just hijacked the pictures because they were the first ones I found of the cases I have, not that I recommend the vendor or anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Caligula36:
+1 for the Otter Box case, I've dropped this phone several times face down with this case down. Its adds some girth but gives a solid feel in your hand, as well the rubber button covers help with their function. Amazon has the best price I've found with free shipping.

I have a Body Glove gel case that I bought at Wal*Mart, but I don't care for it much. It doesn't cover the bevel and if I dropped my phone face-down, I'd be screwed. The silicon case they sell at the T-Mobile store is much MUCH better, IMO, and I plan to buy another soon. The one I had is now adhered to my dashboard. It makes a handy car dock if you cut it in two of the corners :)

Does the otterbox make the phone hard to slide in and out of your pocket. Anyone have the d30 band??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zachpozniak:
The OtterBox Commuter Case is by far the most amazing case I've ever used. I highly recommend it. It is sleek, easy to put on, and tough. It really improves the look of the phone as well.

Hit thanks if I helped. [:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
I'm sure the Otterbox would, since some parts are made out of rubber like the Trident cases.

I am very interested in the D30 brand though. It seems pretty sleek.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
I was thinking the same thing but wasn't sure since I never tried one the d30 definetly looks like it'd be a good case
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
I tried the d30 at the T-Mobile store. I'm definitely NOT going to get that case lol. Its a 2 piece bumper style case that makes the phone HUGE. I don't understand why didn't they make the case the same way they did for the galaxy s 2. That version is really nice, thin, and just sexy. Ours is just ugly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
I heard the buttons were hard to press too
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zachpozniak:
No the otterbox does not make it hard to slide in your pocket. Trust me, I've been using this case for about a month and its perfect. Its two pieces. Rubber on the inside and a plastic feeling grip on the outside. Its a great case.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
I've heard alot of great things about it I think I'm gonna order one
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
I've been using a TPU case that's been very popular on the Vibrant forums. I may have even posted the link in this thread, but I don't remember, since it was so long ago.

It's a black TPU case with a translucent white background. It looks pretty nice with the stock battery cover, but even better with the Vibrant one. The buttons are still quite easy to press too.

i just bought three cases from amazon, 1 hard rubber snap on and 2 TPU. I'll let you guys know what i think after i get them and use them for a bit.
