It needs to be renamed to PG05IMG.zip

Oh yeah and you do NOT flash that from recovery. Bootloader and recovery are not the same thing. Thats why you got installation aborted. Power down the phone completely. Pull battery and then put it back in. Hold volume down plus power untill the white bootloader screen appears. You may have to scroll to bootloader with the volume keys and select by tapping the power button. Once there it will automatically find the PG05IMG.zip and ask you to press volume up to update. When its done it will say press power to reboot. Then when the phone boots you should be good.

i had been powering on while holding volume- and it was taking me to the white screen. i tried pressing the power button there and it quickly flashed to another screen and tried to flash a pg file and didn't work. the proccess happens so quickly that i can barely catch that it is a pgo5 file that doesn't work before it takes me back to the first white screen.

since that didn't work, i guess i misinpreted some misinformation from another site that said to flash radios from the CWMRecovery menue, so form the white screen I scroll down to recovery and hit power and it brings me to CWMRecovery v5.0.1.0. tried flashing from there several files, and all say unseccessful or aborted. I must have F*ed something up really good now, because in my fiddling around in CWMRv5, now no matter which of the restored roms i tried to flash (shows flashed successfully), when i reboot, they all take me back to the HTC screen and stays there. doesn't even attempt to load phone's menue or get to language/activation steps.

i thought that wipe data/factory reset from the CWMRv5 menue would take me back to the original rooted ROM, or at worste case, take me all the way back to the unrooted factory phone. Tried that, same thing, HTC menue for over 15 min straight and still nothing.

When turning on by holding power & volume- :...

would selecting the factory reset do anything useful, or would it be the same as selecting factory reset from CWMRv5 (which appeared to flash fine, but no results)?
[Thunderbolt General] JBO1018:
First of all to get restore to work go to this thread and download CWR version 4.x.x. Version 5 is borked right now and won't restore.

If you download the file to a windows pc that is set up to NOT show file extensions(.exe, .zip, .bat, etc) leave out the .zip but make sure it is PG05IMG.zip EXACTLY (0 = zero) Put that on the root of the sdcard *not in any folders* and boot to the bootloader per usual. When you get there *STOP* *WAIT* don't touch.anything. In the list that says recovery, fastboot, etc if bootloader is not on the list you are already there and it will find the file. Sometimes it loads into fastboot first so you have to select bootloader manually. If bootloader isn't on the list you are already there. In the bootloader it should find the file and ask you to press vol up to update. This will get you a working Clockwork Recovery so you can restore backups.

This same process applies for radios.

If it is not finding the file you have it named wrong somehow. Most common mistakes are PG05IMG.zip.zip (because of hidden file extensions in Windows) or PG05IMG .zip (note the space before the .zip.) It IS case sensitive.

Edit: I forgot to mention if it does that check so quick you barley see it **it is not finding the file** There is a problem somewhere in the name or it is not on the *root* of the sdcard.

you should better fint the proper thread for your device because if you use any software from here might brick your device

I am well aware of the clicky sound, I absolutely hate it and always turn if off, no need to annoy everyone around me with it aswell!

[Atrix 4G Accessories] BravoMotorola:
I've looked all over, no.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] pukemon:
Probably wont find one because the way the battery cover is designed. It needs to be flexible to pull off. You risk bending the metal and borking your cover.

[Atrix 4G Accessories] pukemon:
man, bork you. :eek: i am not a gay chef. :p
[Atrix 4G Accessories] elementaldragon:
hahaha.... "borking" aside, not only would you have to worry about potentially bending the metal on a metal battery cover, you'd also have to worry about breaking the small impressions in the bulk of the phone where the battery cover attaches itself. Unless it was a mostly plastic battery door with a metal insert... which could be neat... but dunno.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] pukemon:
and plastic is better for phone reception anyways. metal phones are harder to design with metal casings. antenna should be in the top of phone and manufacturers do that a lot less these days.

I know there are a lot of post on this but can not find the help I need. I am trying to root my Acer Iconia A500. 3.1 Version. I have the gingerbreak v-1.2.apk, formatted Micro-sdcard to FAT 32, it is mounted card. When I try to root it, it will not root. It stays on the same installation screen forever, after 20-30 minutes I exit out of it. Can someone please help me get through this process.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Sure.

Head over to the dev section - in a nutshell, you are using a root utility for Android 3.0.1 on your copy of 3.1 - this won't work. You need the Iconia root apk.

Also; you posted in the wrong section. Questions belong in the q&a section. Use it in the future and you'll get a quicker response.

One more tip: search the forum before posting a new thread. Your question has been answered in literally dozens of threads.

Best of luck!

Thank you so much. I am new to all this and I know now if I have further questions where to go. I was searching forever to figure this out and it is now rooted. Thanks again.
[General Questions and Answers] Phyona:
First, I am aware of the controversy regarding removing webOS from the Pre. I've searched for an answer to this question for weeks.

Second, I no longer use the Pre Plus as my phone, (I have upgraded to a Droid 2 Global) but hate to see perfectly good hardware go unused.

So my question is this: Since HP is discontinuing the palm line and the Palm Pre Plus on Verizon never received the updated webOS, what are my viable options for an alternative operating system?

I would love to get Android on there, but would be happy with

any

option that would turn this phone into more of a workable hand held. We would like to use it to stream from Pandora/Slacker, use it as an mp3 player, check weather, play simple games like Angry Birds, and Netflix would be awesome but we realize that may be a pipe dream.

Any legitimate, workable suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

hello everyone. can anyone point me in the right direction on how to make a flashable zip? i mostly need help on making the updater script. i don't really know how it works. other than that i think i know what to do. so if someone could explain it to me or point me to a guide on how to do it i would appreciate it.

p.s. yes i did google and yes i did find a few pages with bits and pieces of info but the info on them didn't really help...

edit: if anyone needs to know, im trying to make a zip that replaces the lib audio files in the /system/lib/ folder in synergy rls1. the audio craps out every couple of days and i found the files needed to fix it and adb pushing them manually is a kinda long/boring process to do twice a week.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
It helps to have an example to use.

Get a copy of a gapps zip. It flashes a lib file. Edit the updater-script to do just what you need with those files and resign it with ROM kitchen or one of the other signing tools available. Its pretty self explanatory once you go over the script. The rest can be figured out with a little trial and error.

Nandroids are your friend.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhxkinMassacre:

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Pull your SIM card and browse the market using WiFi.

A better option would be to replace the ROM with one that has tethering built in, e.g. the ROMs for unlocked units (351, 360).

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
So i keep running into this problem when trying to theme certain user apps! I'm trying to theme all the apps that i use on my home screen and some of them -particularly 'Root Explorer' and 'HomeSmack' right now, break every time I try to mod them. At this point i'll settle for just the launcher icon but how? I've tried decompiling, modding, recompiling, replacing the META-INF, and then signing with 'test keys ....doesn't work! ...actually had problems decompiling.

But next I tried just pulling the icon I mostly wanted, nodded, replaced, then signed with test keys. This usually works but but with these two, I do not. Either I get a parsing error saying that its not signed ...or I get it on my phone. But it won't open.

I figure its cuz its signed with private keys but there must be a way to fix this.

Note: I also tried not signing it at all and 'pushing' to /system/app/ bit it won't open or show in my drawer (or anywhere)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Indirect:
Have you tried using APKtool? It helped me with those issues. :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] theidlemonk:
If its just the icon for the app on the home screen you are trying to change, then why not just use Desktop Visualizer instead of modifying the apk. Just a thought.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
No, its a good thought. I new there was an app for that, cuz I thought I had heard of people doin that ...so that's prolly wut I'll do so my OCD will subside ....but still, the APKs r for a theme I have released already and i'd like to include them , plus I'd rather theme the whole thing if possible ...plus I wanna know.

But yeah, Thnx for that! I'll try now
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
U mean for decompiling n recompiling? Yeah ....well I think that's all there is for that ...right? I mean, I know it can be used seperately, but all those like 'APK Manager' and 'Android Utility' use in in their programs. So no, not as a standalone thru the command line ...but thru an app; yes ...3 different previous versions and the new one compiled from source.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
I have themed Root explorer before. You need to delete the framework files prior to decoding (at least I did).

Then recompile. Then sign (test keys are fine).

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Colombiano:
EDIT: Alright I solved it. I had to install Gordon's Gate. Those were the correct drivers, the ones I had were not. You can get the drivers from Flash Tool, in the drivers folder.

Alright guys of xda, I've spent the last six hours trying to fix this myself but I just can not do it with my knowledge of the Xperia Play. I wanted to ask this in the dev section but you know I can't post there until I post ten times in here. Instead of spamming the forums I'll just ask here.

Starting off, I have an R800i model bought off Ebay brand new. I love the phone, though it has no warranty so if I can't fix this I'm out $410. It was 2.3.3 prior to this mess.

I used this guide to unlock the bootloader. Yes it is confirmed to be unlocked as I tried it again and it said that it was already unlocked. I proceeded to follow step 2 and flashed the play_modded.img to my Xperia Play. After that I unplugged the USB and tried turning the phone on. To my expectations, I was stuck in a bootloop.

I looked around and tried flashing stock ROMS via Flash Tool 3.0 and 2.9.1 Beta. Both said I must go and turn on Debugging through the Android System. The system I don't have on the phone.

I tried to flash stock ROMS with fastboot, though they are ftf files, which I am not familiar with. The prompt said that the files were too big.

Another method I tried was the clockwork recovery mod that is booted from fastboot. I tried recovering a stock NANDROID backup that Logseman posted right here but it freezes at the Sony Ericsson splash screen.

I have downloaded at least two gigs trying to fix this in the last six hours to no avail. So I don't know what to do. I'm sorry for posting this in the wrong section, I just don't have an option and this is my last day off this week. I need to fix it today. I'll be on the forums refreshing this thread for the next twelve hours or until I get the fixed. So I will be here and responding instantly.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
Actually, you've posted this in the right section :)

1) Download Flashtool 0.2.9.1 (you have done it already, I guess). 0.3.0.0 DOESN'T WORK with Xperia Play.

2) Download the 4.0.A.368 FTF file and put it in the "firmwares" folder of the Flashtool folder (if you haven't done so already).

3) Switch off the phone.

4) Fire up Flashtool. Click on "Flash" and choose the 4.0.A386 ROM

5) Obey the on-screen instructions about connecting your phone.

Once it's finished, you don't have to do anything more save booting your phone and using it. Ignore those "switch on USB debugging and Unknown sources".
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Colombiano:
I tried that and this is what I get.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
Then.try.again. There is only one way to use Flashtool, and it's the one I've described.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
I've never got any errors with flashtool, although some people don't seem to be able to use it :confused:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Colombiano:
Trying again and again and again would never have worked. Brute force never does. I looked through the forums outside of the Xperia Play and I found a thread explaining how it was the drivers. I installed Gordon's Gate and it worked flawlessly the first time I tried, just as you described it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
It's not.about.brute force. It's about preparing the computer properly...

and indeed, better to ask than to brick your phone :p

why don't you need task killer on gingerbread ? The apps keep running in the background not ?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Yes you are right, the apps are staying in the background. But this is the reason that we have so much RAM memory on our devices. When in background the apps are not consuming battery or CPU, but they are loading faster when you start them again, because are not loading the necessary files to RAM once more. Also the design of the Android OS is such that when the system comes out of RAM it closes the less used app staying in the background. This is the reason that you do not need Task Killer applications...

all right there goes taks killer ;)
