think im doing something wrong as unlocked fine but when i go to install the recovery file it keeps coming up cannot load? any ideas where im going wrong?

been at it 3 hours now lol and losing the will to live im sure its gona be something simples :mad:
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Check to make sure that your file download is good, and that you are typing it's name correctly. Better yet, you could rename the file "recovery.img" and that will make it very easy to get it right.
[Xoom General] fastyan:
On the sd card?I thought we had to put it into sdk platform tools? I have put it and renamed it onto my sd card but what is the command to flash recovery from sd card?

Also noticed once I have done "adb reboot bootloader" my computer doesn't see the XOOM properly, is in can't see it in my computer but does make a noise when I connect and disconnect is this correct? Debugging is on.
[Xoom General] scsa20:
When you're in the bootloader, you won't be able to access the SD Card or anything of that sort and adb won't work, in stead, when you're in the bootloader, you're switching over to fastboot. I'm sure if you type in fastboot devices you'll see your xoom listed.
[Xoom General] fastyan:
Thank you for the reply and that's one thing sorted but any idea why its telling me "cannot load recovery"? I have tried renaming it and downloaded the recovery file 4 times incase that was wrong but still no joy :-(

I have done this all before on my phone and never had a problem so I must be missing something but f$*@ed if I know what?

Thanks again for your help though.
[Xoom General] fastyan:
Just had a thought. Could it be that the XOOM hasn't actually unlocked, would that cause it to not load? Is there any way to check if its unlocked successfully? Although I did try it twice before?
[Xoom General] scsa20:
Once you got it in the bootloader, you gotta make sure you do fastboot oem unlock, press volume down then up, press volume down again then up again, and let it format and reboot.

If it's already unlocked, you'd get a message telling you so (generally).

Then when you go to flash the recovery, make sure that the recovery image is in the folder where fastboot is and type in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (if I remember the syntax that is, I'm at work and don't feel like scrolling up or going into the root guide to confirm xD ).
[Xoom General] scsa20:
With the way I have my system setup, I can run adb and fastboot wherever I am :D
[Xoom General] fastyan:
No, sorry, I was trying to respond. when I was tired and distracted.I totally miswrote. Of course the cwm recovery img goes in the platform tools...thank goodness you guys are out there to catch mistakes!:rolleyes:

So, I don't know if you had any progress, but not successfully unlocking would surely stop you in your tracks.

No progress yet as im at work but when I get home I will start the process from scratch again and see how I get on and will keep you posted.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Care to share???

That would be helpful to many, I'm sure. We could add it to the guide, along with anything else you can think of.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
If, as you follow this guide, you find any explanations that are not clear or if you think of a step to take or something else that might improve the guide, please post it and we can add it in. It's been almost 6 months since I've unlocked and at least a couple of months since I've had to use adb, so I'm sure I've forgotten some things. Those of you whose experience is fresh can give really good advice. That's how this guide was originally written, by pingvinen, right after he had gone through a grueling rooting process.
[Xoom General] scsa20:
For windows, if you go into System Properties and choose Advanced, then Environment Variables..., you'll be able to edit the Path variable under System variables, just add the path to where adb and fastboot is located (separated with a semi-colon (;)).

Here's what my Path variable looks like:

It's long but hey, see where the android stuff is near the end? :D
[Xoom General] rohit3192:
@Okantomi:

We all have learned some things from trial & error (eg.the sk cannot detect java dev kit)

i could only flash recovery after renaming it to recovery(do not forget to add.img in cmd while flashing).also the official motorola name recovery as same.

after downloading sdk and updating to platform tools i have kept a zip in safe location so that i do not need to download again platform tools if i install sdk fresh :D

initially knowledge was scattered now it is at one place.

right now testing steady hawkin's kernel and new recovery :D

btw good signature pic.
[Xoom General] fastyan:
Ok so another night has gone and still can't get recovery on!! Tried re unlocking the XOOM and every time it comes up with "cannot load recovery.img" I tried installing everything on my laptop and went right from the start and getting exactly the same thing!

Starting to think im never gonna get this sorted now :-( just feels like the XOOM isn't unlocking? Every time I go through the unlocking process it never states that its already unlocked? Is there any way I can check that it is unlocked?

Please help im losing the will to live now lol
[Xoom General] scsa20:
I would say to send it to me and I can take a wack at it but I don't think you want to wait that long to simply root it.

Let me ask you, are you getting any sort of error messages when you do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img? If so, what's that error message?
[Xoom General] fastyan:
Not getting any error message it just says "cannot load recovery.img"

I have tried with and without the .img and always the same?

Tried going through the whole process again on my laptop incase I had missed something but exactly the same.

When I unlock it I follow the onscreen instructions and at the end it says its complete before it reboots. Then I turn on usb debugging again and reboot bootloader all ok but won't let me load the new recovery?

Normally I would just say it wasn't meant to be and leave as it is but I wont be beaten on this so I'm purposely not installing anything on it till its done. Any ideas apart from bringing it round yours lol ;-)
[General Questions and Answers] lagazzella:
Hi all,

this is my first post here!

I joined the forum mostly because I'd like very much to be much more good to manage my cell...

The first question I am asking is about Rsap... is it possible, thanks to your developments (gingerbread OS for xperia x10 mini pro) use it on my phone? :confused:

Is there a HW issue about it?
[General Questions and Answers] jecskie:
Yes! it can be... I have also X10 mini pro and its running gingerbread...

there are a lot of tutorials posted her on how to do it...

don't be afraid that you might brick your phone.. just follow all the steps and instructions and you will be successful.
[General Questions and Answers] lagazzella:
Probably I wasn't clear enough...

I already installed gingerbread on my x10 mini pro, the point is about the rsap installation.

I don't understand if there is an HW issue about it or if it is likely to be developed in the next future... :)

Hey guys,

Does somebody know if you can get Crackle working in Europe (for me, in Belgium) ?

Downloaded the apk (2.3.8), but when I fire up the app I get an warning with 'Crackle has stoped, try again ...'

I dont know if this was just a bug, or if it happens to everyone, but i just logged into my Dropbox account on a new HTC Sense 3.5 rom, and i got an email from Dropbox giving me an extra 3g space :S
[Desire HD General] barthoz:
Nice 3GB for free xD
[Desire HD General] fyndyk:
Anyone confirm?
[Desire HD General] CitizenLee:
You could run a nandroid backup on your current ROM and then test a Sense 3.5 ROM.

An extra 3GB would be nice, but I dunno if I can be bothered putting in the effort to get it :D
[Desire HD General] drycrap:
This is the mail you will receive.

Thanks for supercharging your HTC phone with Dropbox! To get the most out of your Dropbox, visit our Getting Started guide and gain an extra 3GB of space!

Enjoy,

[Desire HD General] hopscotchjunkie:
Yeah I got that as well. "3GB of bonus space for the next 12 months" according to the email I got (on top of what I already had). Nice little gift.

//sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk; all errors entirely intentional.
[Desire HD General] m47ze:
I received the same eMail and was so confused, that I even started to google the expression 'dropbox guru' but I just found these boring 250MB bonus space stuff :confused:

there's absolutely no information about how to get a 3,5GB gift (even on the official homepage)

I think we should quietly accept this (buggy?) gift and enjoy it :D
[Desire HD General] Helaro:
You become a "Dropbox Guru" for completing the getting started items. So if anyone hasn't completed these could maybe check if thats it?
[Desire HD General] platypusgravy:
I got the bonus as well after I tried a new ROM. Same message about becoming a dropbox guru.
[Desire HD General] vicedens2002:
Me too got 3 GB extra. Flashed ARHD 6.1.0 2days ago but opened dropbox today only and got a mail saying free 3GB but only for 12 month ? If I am storing above 2 GB after 12 month period what happens to the data ?
[Desire HD General] Hellreject:
I also got the 3GB extra for installing Dropbox and logging on to my account on my Desire HD. Based on the amount of extra space you get, it seems to be a promo for using Dropbox on a 3.0-based Android ROM, but I've not read about this promo anywhere, so I might be wrong.
[Desire HD General] DoverTx:
I didn't know how I got the extra 3GB... Now I know... I updated my rom to CoreDroid 8.0 GB 2.3.5.... Thanks DropBox. Though only for 12 months :-(
[Desire HD General] alexluckett:
How long did it take for you to get this email? I reinstalled dropbox and logged in, on ARHD 6.1.0, around 10 mins ago.

Big thanks for uncovering this, if true :D!

[Desire HD General] ccooluke:
I have the desire z (G2 aka vision) and I'm on cyanogen, but I'm very interested to try this out.

I thought I'd comment and ask if signing in to dropbox on a sense 3.5 phone in the store (AT&T, Verizon, etc) would trigger the email as well? it would be a lot less hassle and be the technologically advanced people we are on here, it would be easy to wipe all data on the phone to ensure password safety.

Just saying, I think that'd be easier. lol

600 MB additional free storage :)

Hi all

Just found a smart way to increase your Dropbox account with 600 MB:

1 Sign into your existing Dropbox account (or create a new account)

2 Goto https://www.dropbox.com/free

3 Follow instructions ... and voila 600 MB additional free storage :)

When i got the TF and red that it has a HMDI port.

I thought, sweet! thats cool!

Then i was looking for a cable and started thinking, why the hell would i connect my TF to my tv?

What do you guys use the HMDI port for?

Only thing i could imagin is maybe stream a movie, but i have a Playstation3 and playstation media server that covers that for me.

Games? you have to look at the TF anyway so you know your hitting the right part of the screen.

What wonderful things can we do with this?

I output my recorded movies (camcorder) to the TV for family to view instead of crowding around the tablet.

I connect a sixaxis PlayStation controller to the dock and play N64 games on the tv. (or Cordy etc.)

connect a wireless mouse to the dock and browse the web using the large display of my 24" monitor from the other side of the room.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlbaindoor:
Your question raises an important point.

I would have loved to use the HDMI port to connect to TV or OHP Projector etc to make presentations - but apparently the Asus HDMI port is not HDCP compliant and so it would not work with many devices that do accept HDMI inputs but expect them to be HDCP compliant.

I have tried connecting my Tablet to my Panasonic LCD TV using the HDMI port and have failed.

I have tried connecting the same to my computer's LCD monitor using HDMI and it seems to work correctly because the computer monitor does not expect HDCP Compliance.

So I raise the question that you raised.

What can this HDMI port be used for? For me so far this port is useless.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcglide:
Most TVs will have HDCP in at least one HDMI input.

However, sometimes not every HDMI port on the TV will be HDCP compliant :)

..so you could check your TV user manual and pick your HDMI input accordingly

Note: There is no firmware upgrade that can turn a non-HDCP input into a HDCP compliant input

_______

If i remember correctly - my Sony Bravia KDL-W4000 only has HDCP in HDMI connection 1

[Defy General] aac197:
Firstly, I apologise if this has been asked before. I have had a good look round and can't find any reference to it.

I have just received an new defy handset back from the Motorola repair centre (6th time in 3 months, 4th handset!). It is running the 3.4.2_177-3 Retail enGB rom, as with my previous handset(s). However, I have noticed when I receive email (standard pop3/imap email, not yahoo!, gmail, etc.) the icon used in the notification bar is grey, where previously it has always been red (same as the application icon).

Has anyone else seen this before and/or explain why I might see the difference straight out of the box?

Thank you for your help!
[Defy General] DanielNIX:
I have an italian Defy, shipped with 2.1.1 and now upgraded to 2.2.2.

Never had the red icon :( didn't even notice there was an icon, I simply thought there was no icon for this notification!

Is there anyway to fix it? maybe with root access?

thanx!

Edit: in mine the icon is not grey, is completely missing

[Acer Iconia A500] andreagragnato:
hello everybody. Yesterday i've bought the new A100 without 3G, and I'm trying to connect it trough bluetooth with my Windows mobile phone. Obviously when I run the Sharing connectivity program on windows trough Bt nothing happens on the tab. I know there are some tethering app for android. There's something similar for Wmobile??
[Acer Iconia A500] andreagragnato:
I've found the solution:

-installed WMWiFiRouter on Diamond

-rooted and added ad-hoc patch on the A100

i've rooted with this guide

androidforums.com/iconia-tab-a100-all-things-root/401598-rooting-a100.html

and added ad-hoc with this one:

batista70phone.com/2011/05/supporto-per-reti-ad-hoc-su-acer-iconia-a500/ (is in italian, if you need english tell me, I can translate it)

To avoid problems open the page from the tablet and copy/paste the commands, and remeber to SWITCH OFF WIFI AS SOON AS POSSIBLE before playing with the wifi files!!

Everything works. You have only to start WMWiFiRouter on diamond and than looking in the wifi list on tablet for the wireless just created ( Office Lan....etc ).

For convenience activate the "wifi always on" also if "display is off" trough Diamond Tweaks.

I hope this can be useful for someone else ;-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
Any useful tweaks or settings which I could use? There is many appn on the market and they allow to tweak internal memory management but I have no idea what settings to use.

No matter which I try, my phone always seem to stick to ~100MB RAM Free. Why so much? I'd prefer ~50MB RAM Free and more apps running without closing.
[G2 and Desire Z General] evilcuber:
you mean you want 100mb ram free but only have 50mb? you can check out a ram cleaner script. the link is in my signature called mods for virtuous unity. just download the zip file, back up your phone and superwipe, then flash your rom then ram cleaning script then reboot and your done :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
Actually it was the other way around, I always had 100 MB free and my apps have been closed often. I played with one of the tools to tweak internal memory manager and now my free RAM goes down to 60 and apps stay in memory, this is what I wanted. FireFox Nightly takes a lot on its own...

Will play with settings some more before posting them here.

Only app and root needed, no scripts or Rom flashing.

I'm runing CoreDroid port, I love its theme.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bharakrama:
My opinion is if what you perceive as a lack of available memory is not degrading the performance of your phone, including the apps which run on the phone, then it's a non-issue as the latest versions of Android have a much better handle on memory management than the older versions.
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
I agree but in my case system had 100MB RAM free but when I launched another app it would close other app and system would still have 100 MB RAM Free. So imagine me opening media player and listening to mp3 and then I launch Firefox and music stops, yet there is still 100 MB RAM Free.

I have changed settings and it's better now, Free RAM drops down to 60MB so I can have more apps running.

Previously, Firefox would close whenever I switched out of it, annoying.

Spark Mod Manager - Beta 1
​

About

Spark Mod Manager is a front end app for Ezekeel's kernel mods now found in many popular Nexus S kernels. These are usually turned off by default (in a init.d script set my the developer), and now you can easily turn them on or off until you reboot!

Usage

Open the app, check what features you wish to use (Screen Dimmer is old now, probably don't use it if you have Touch Wake enabled, they are aimed at the same thing), then hit apply. Give the app SU permissions and you should be set!

Notes

Your kernel must support these mods! There is currently no error checking (it's a beta, done on a Sunday arvo actually) so it could fail on you!

The timeout delay for these mods will vary from kernel to kernel. On my device, I have set it to custom values, but yours may differ. A future addition in the final version is to be able to change these within the app using sliders.

Download

Download the app below (hosted on Github for ease at my end).

Spark-Beta1.apk

Spark is also open source (licensed under the Open Source License 3.0), you can find all the sources here: https://github.com/jonathongrigg/SparkModManager

You will also need Action Bar Sherlock as a library project in Eclipse to get it to work (http://actionbarsherlock.com/)
