[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raoufosman:
okay so here is the deal... i was running thunderstick my camera stopped working so i decided to restore to synergy. Once i did that through clockwork my phone never actually loaded up.

I hooking my phone up to the computer but cant do that because my phone stuck at htc white screen and dont have no pg1...zip thing on my sd card so when i go into bootloader there is nothing i can do i think.

So how can I get a ruu on my sd card so i can flash so i can fix my phone. I also tried restoring other roms that I had backed up in the past and still stuck at screen so if there is anyone that can help me i would appreciate. Thanks

If you have a usb to microSD card , you could just load the files directly on the card.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nowetdio:
Get into recovery and flash a Rom. An ruu will cause you to lose root.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raoufosman:
okay so I will decide to try both ideas. thanks guys
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trentreed:
you can flash a rooted ruu here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29644922/Thunderbolt/Stock Rooted RUU/PG05IMG_stock.zip

now you have root.. i suspect your problem may be the last clockwork recovery 5.0.1.0 everytime i do a restore from it i have the same problem.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThunderStick:
Same thing happening to me right now... DAMN IT....

plug in with USB,

at command prompt or from run

run this command

adb reboot bootloader

get in to recovery and mount your USB Storage

copy any RUU you like and reboot to recovery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBO1018:
I'm pretty sure you can mount the SD-card to your computer in clockwork recovery too.

Install the LG drivers for the phone.

Ya but if he is using cyanogen its still not gonna mount internal. What rom you using.

I'm having this same issue and I am using CM7 nightly. Is there a problem with this?

i keep on having the same problem and the hdmi wouldnt work either so i had to put i put it back to ota stock gb...and now usb mounting works but hdmi still no good:(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] syl0n:
I have same issue with Cyanogenmod. When it happens go to Settings > Application > Development and turn on USB Debugging. Then it detects and mounts it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iamtimmah:
Has anyone figured this out? My G2X won't mount to my computer. the phone recognizes that it's charging, but thats it. It doesn't even give me the usual mount settings. I've installed the LG Drivers and nothing.

Btw the phone is not rooted, and running stock 2.3.4

Thanks!

Hi guys, I have a massive itch, I am badly in need of memory and I am sick of a2sd, so the obvious route is alpharev. But i am bricking it :D Just expecting a kid right now and I can just see me gal saying "go right ahead, your infernal meddling has ruined a perfectly good phone, but no matter take £300 n git a newun!" Mmmmm...??

Anyway, just wanted to hear from some people who have bricked using alpharev (to see how many have) and if there is any way back after said bricking. I've heard you can't.

That's it, thanx in advance!
[Desire General] elliottg61:
It's basically impossible to brick your device if you follow the instructions, which are very simple
[Desire General] k3lcior:
This.

Also you should change the thread name which is kinda confusing...
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
A description of your problem doesn't exist so nobody will be able to help you.

I never heard or read from someone who bricked his phone using alpharev. And if your phone is bricked it would not react anymore (as if it would be dead.

[Desire General] copernicus666:
I'm not asking for help. Just interested in other peoples experience. I'm temped, but cautious as like I said, it's a mistake I cannot afford to rectifiy at the moment. So really all I wouldlike to know is if it had happened to others how they solved it or not.
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Hboot is the ultimate base for your phone. By using alpharev/revolutionary this gets 'updated'. If there something goes wrong, your phone is completely bricked. And there is absolutely no so solution for this. Your desire is then nothing more than an expensive paperweight.

[Desire General] mortenmhp:
However, in order for it to go wrong, the flash itself must go wrong. So a problem anywhere else along the process won't cause these kinds of problems. And because the flash of the bootloader is done by the old bootloader, the only way this can go wrong is, if you pull the battery half way through.

That will cause a serious brick though(you will never even see your screen turn on again) and that you won't recover from.
[Desire General] copernicus666:
Thanx for the replys. I fully expected that sort of response about fixing the brick. Oh well. But have you guys heard of this ever happening, apart from the unlikely event of interrupted flash due to battery on laptop or phone being dead. Any stories about "alpharev ate my desire, killed my hamster & broke my toe!"

Just wondering :-)
[Desire General] elliottg61:
Nope don't think anyone has ever bricked a device doing it my friend
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Please do read my post again...

The way this is done(and the way the bootsystem on those phones work), there is no way other than a bad bootloader flash that will actually brick your phone. And a bad bootloader flash only occurs, as i already told you, if you interrupt it by pulling the battery mid-way(pulling the plug or the computer-battery shouldn't even do it as the flash itself is done entirely by the phone). So no there is NO ONE who used alpharev as intended, who have ended up with a bricked phone.

You might see a few "brick" stories though, which is essentially just bootloops happening to people unaware how their phone work and how to fix such simple problems.
[Desire General] copernicus666:
Thanx people, put my mind at ease about doing this.

Sorry, but I'm gonna ask a thick question. You mentioned bootloop and the simple fix. Er... I just take out the battery. Is that the simple fix?

PS would you use the live Linux CD or live USB. My gut tells me to use USB. But I've had a few curries recently and I don't know if I trust it all that much.
[Desire General] 12903478tgbyhn:
I used the live CD and it worked without a hitch.

And bootlooping can't be fixed by removing the battery, because next time you turn it on, you'll bootloop again.

I've had one bootloop with my phone and it was fixed by just reflashing my current ROM, so I'm not too experienced with these things.
[Desire General] k3lcior:
Bootloop is not a brick in any means, in fact it's 1 of the easiest things to fix.

Wipe/Factory Reset and reflash.

Thats why i want to kill people which creating threads like "HELP BRICKED MY PHONE !!!1111oneneone" and then inside i see "i'm stuck on htc logo!"

:mad:
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Yeah, a real brick would mean your phone is completely dead and nothing more than an expensive paperweight.

I am also a n00b when it comes to Android. I have decided after using almost 1 year my desire to root and s-off my phone. I always look for the detailed and visual tutorials and if you follow everything step by step it is hardly impossible to brick anything. (I have also flashed my navi, PSP and Wii before) I have used this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016084and followed the videos and steps. The only thing I have to do now is to apply a custom rom on it.

You'll have no worries if you follow these steps.
[Desire General] conzul:
thats absolutly right! this new tool did a great job for me recently (wildfire)

but the "old" alpharev.iso is doing a good job, too!

i had no probs one year ago - this livedisc is almost foolproof (if you dont touch batteries or powercables) - just follow the instructions

How and when was the problem shown up? Did you try flashing a radio rom? Which radio rom do you use?

you can try flashing 1.14 radio rom. My signal is very stable

problem first showed up when i flashed new rom. the signal was bad adn after about an hour there was no signal. i tried to do hard reset, and when windows started there was signal, but again after an hour it was lost. i was running 826x series.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szaxxa:
Which rom did you falsh? Did you try flashing back to the original (shipped) rom? I think you should find out which radio rom are you using (perhaps the original) and look after, which radio is offered by your rom's chef!

Good luck!
[Galaxy S II General] koolshubh:
This tip is one that seems counter-intuitive, but you can save a lot of wear and tear on your Android phone's battery if you tell it to keep the Wifi radio turned on and connected while the phone is sleeping. Your phone needs a lot of juice to keep pinging those cell towers, and even more to transmit data to and from them. Wifi radios use much less power because of their design, and they don't have to keep searching for a better access point. It's the way cellular data communication was designed, and it's a necessary evil.

But what if you're spending all day (or all evening) in one place, connected to Wifi? If you tell your phone to shut off Wifi when idle, it bounces back to cellular data (be it 2G, 3G, or 4G) and starts sucking down the electrons again when the screen shuts off. That's no good, and easy to fix:

Open the advanced Wifi settings by pressing the menu button, then Settings, Wireless & networks, Wi-Fi settings, and tapping the menu button again. You'll have a choice to either Scan, or go Advanced -- go Advanced.

Tap the Wi-Fi sleep policy entry, and you'll get a pop up dialog with the 3 choices. Choose Never.

Now even when your phone goes into standby mode, you'll stay connected to Wifi and be able to get mail and messages without turning the cell radio back on and trouncing your battery life. And for the times when you're not in an area with a Wifi connection, just shut Wifi off, either through the menu or with a handy toggle widget. Your battery will thank you for it.

If you're going to copy and paste directly from Android Central, the least you could do is give them credit.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
:D i thought as much myself.
[Galaxy S II General] andreimazz:
as far as i understand, this is useful if you also have and use internet from the carrier, so if you keep wifi on and use it rather than 3g, which uses more power, you will have lower battery consumption. but if you are not synchronizing data during night, by keeping all connections off, you will not need to keep wifi on, am i right?
[Galaxy S II General] scanie:
Haha it was the "counter-intuitive" that gave it away right? :D

As soon as I came to those words I knew it was copy pasta!
[Galaxy S II General] koolshubh:
Yeah I accept that	I copy pasted from android central..... And also I am not taking any credit for that.. I am jst sharing it. It might cme usefull 4r sme1 aroundhere..
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
I find that turning Data and WiFi off when not required is the simple solution .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] TML1504:
yep! during the night i do the same!

besides: the reason why OP got better battery with wifi turned on (when screen off) is that this avoids the android OS bug (suspend & event/0)... ;)

with wifi turned of my battery life increased dramatically, switching data off additionally has only a minor effect then!
[Galaxy S II General] buxz777:
you are taking the credit by writing the post like its you , you should link your source and quote them not just post their post on a different website!!

yeah sure some may find it usefull but you should still do it properly and quote and link them

This is the worst thing you can do in terms of battery life on SGS2, since this kicks the famous Android OS bug into high gear, especially on D-Link class routers. With wifi sleep set to never, my SGS2 loses around 10% an hour just sitting completely idle.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ratchetrizzo:
Question, on my phone and my friends phone (both 4g slides) we have noticed that some things remain after doing a factory wipe/reset (both from clockwork and the bootloader).

His font changes seem static and don't get reset, and my Wireless settings stay static (my access points and keys are ALL still there after a reset).

My wireless keys stayed through a full wipe and rom flash too.

Has anyone else noticed odd things like this?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Format system and data partitions manually through CWM. Factory reset doesn't usually get them.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ratchetrizzo:
No, something else isn't getting cleared.

I did a complete wipe then manual format through CWM, then flashed the new .05 rom and it still connects to my secured access points.

That's bull crap. Check your accounts and sync. No where does it day wifi data. Or anything along those lines. I've been flashing and wiping for a year, NEVER once does it auto connect.

In the flashrestriction section but i cant get it to edit down to 5%

Is there anyone who can edit this apk so it will allow the camera flash to be used down to 5% and then resign it so we can install it over the current one or make a patch for the current installed version?

Thank you in advance.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humayun_94:
So im on 2.3.4 with an unlocked bootloader and root with Clockwork Recovery Mod, so i decide to install a custom rom...Honeycomb....before installing the rom i use rom manager to backup my stock rom and then follow a tutorial on flashing the Honeycomb rom. Everything goes smoothly until i turn on my phone and realize that my widgets are gone, my settings icon is missing, and many features are screwed up..so i decide to use System Recovery to install the Simplicity Rom over the Honeycomb Rom....my phone restarts with the android and yellow exclamation mark inside a white triangle. I take out the battery and reinsert it and my phone reboots back into the Honeycomb rom. Now whenever i try to go into Android Recovery (not clockwork mod) i get the droid with the exclamation mark....

I can go into System Recovery and access Clockwork Mod Recovery

1) How to i get my Android Recovery back?

2) Do i need to flash the sbf back to stock in order to install another rom such as Kenns Alien Rom on my phone or can i install the rom over my current messed up rom?

3) What is the best app to use for data backup on my phone... in case i screw things up even more

4)Is there anything else that i should do to my phone to achieve its maximum potential?

Any help would be appreciated
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jotokun:
NEVER use SBF after unlocking your bootloader, or even with a locked bootloader, once you've gone to 2.3.4. Depending on the SBF, you'll either permanetly brick or temporarily brick. Instead, use fastboot to flash CWM and then use that CWM to flash another rom.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humayun_94:
Thank you for your quick answer

So your saying that i should install (Tenfars) CWM again through fastboot and then use that to install the Alien rom?

Could you give me a link for the stock rom because all i could find are the sbfs??
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rusreid:
Use romracer's cwm and flash any rom you like. I had the same issue after I installed the Honeycomb theme on mine. Now I'm running Alien with the honeycomb theme, and it's great.

Hi,

Here's my MIUI skin for Fede's UberMusic.

I've made quite a lot of changes from the skin template in line with the overall feel of MIUI, and allowed for full-width album art display.

Included are a 4x1 widget, and alternative landscape layouts.

To change the colour of the tabs, go to the Settings screen inside UberMusic, and change the accent colour to your favourite.

Download v1
[Android Themes] ock:
Changelog

Final v1

- Much improved scrolling performance

- Added 4x1 widget

- Improved HVGA support

- Tab colour now follows accent colour (Thanks to TheGrammarFreak's suggestion)

beta2

minor tweak to now playing screen for HVGA

[Android Themes] C.Hatfield:
I have used your skins on a Super AMOLED (Fascinate) but just got a BIONIC & would love to have more UberMusic skin options .... supposedly the BIONIC has qHD display, but the other 50% say its pentile display (or is it somehow possible to be both, idfk ... ?)

I have spent the last few days trying to get this beast as 'customized' as I possibly can considering its 'newness' - going from CM7 ~> MIUI ~> STOCK MotoBlur (actually LauncherPro Plus/MotoBlur now) really makes me itch for some development in ANY/EVERY possible aspect !!!

LMK, if you want me to try anything else ... keep up the great work !

I love Fede's work/apps & will do my best to KEEP IT "THE BEST"
[Android Themes] ock:
As far as I know, you can have both, pentile/non pentile concerns only sub-pixels iirc.

I would indeed appreciate some testers with qHD devices, the Bionic is one of them :)

Would you mind posting a screenshot of the 'now playing' screen from your device if possible? If not, does the album art stretch to fill the width in the above skin? I'm using 320dip for width and I'm not sure if it appears correctly for qHD devices.

Thanks!
