[Motorola Droid 3] glennj99:
Does a factory reset of a rooted but otherwise stock 6.890 droid3 remove clockworkmod ? I want to back out to where I can install SafeStrap2 instead. Then kexec Hash's ICS and maybe JB, someday.

I have so far refused the 7.905 OTA.

Nothing is frozen or deleted.

[Motorola Droid 3] ChaoticWeaponry:
Installing safestrap over the top of bootstrap (clockworkmod) should remove all traces of bootstrap (clockworkmod)

To answer your question though, no. A factory reset deletes the /data partition, with app data, etc.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I'm pretty sure you need to uninstall the bootstrap app, and safestrap will remove the actual recovery
[Motorola Droid 3] glennj99:
So far I have uninstalled the boostrap app and then flashed 7.905 OTA.

Lost root, so I have to re-root before anything else, right ?

[Motorola Droid 3] ChaoticWeaponry:
Yes. Use motofail to root that version.

Factory Reset For Update

I would like to unroot my Samsung Galaxy S3 (AT&T) because I would like to be able to update my phone (I am still running Android 4.0.4). I have tried to update my phone multiple times, but it always says:

"- - Installing: /sdcard/update.zip"

"Finding update package..."

"E: Can't mount /sdcard/update.zip"

"Installation aborted"

I have tried deleting SU, but it still hasn't worked. I was wondering if I could factory reset my phone in order to, I guess, unroot, which would allow me to update my phone. If you are wondering if I have a backup, I have my phone backed up to Samsung Kies on my laptop (Will that also keep all of my saved games/apps/contacts/ect.?).

[Nexus S General] khartaras:
When ICS (and the Nexus Prime) come out, do you think we will still have a steady developer community for the Nexus S, or do you think everyone will jump on the Prime bandwagon?
[Nexus S General] Borky_16:
ICS development for Crespo will be fun! ;)

,but i will get me the prime! (: i will update my tools also without using the device and i think most devs will do that!
[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
It won't be long before the nexus gets ics after the prime release. I'm hoping to get a prime myself but if Ics takes a while for the s I plan to work on both
[Nexus S General] apreichner:
As long as the source is released on time the nexus s will get some custom frozen treats. I have no plans to buy a different phone.
[Nexus S General] treUse:
Personally I can't wait for ICS and for what it'll bring to the NS :)
[Nexus S General] jta462:
Prime! Its gonna be awesome! But IcS on the Nexus will be just as sweet while I start penny pinching.
[Nexus S General] idelgado782:
I just got my phone and I LOVE it. I'm hoping that we will get the ics update soon and then we can enjoy it and get more custom roms. Depending on how big the prime is then I will get it because I took advantage of the buy back program from best buy and I will get almost the full retail price.
[Trophy Accessories] S100200:
Hello!

I have a very strange problem with my Trophy's stock headset (the one that comes with the phone).

Once I tried it in my brother's Samsung (which runs Android) to test out the volume and call buttons. They all functioned as play/pause buttons. But since then my Trophy won't do anything if I press them. The earpieces are OK, and the phone turns on when I plug the headset in.

What can I do? Is it possible to somehow reset the headset or something like that?
[Trophy Accessories] DominikZ:
Got the exact same problem here.

Don't think that a hardreset will solve that probleme - as I flashed a few days a go a new ROM - and I still have the problem. Don't know how to fix it tough..
[HTC Sensation] vicstarman:
I purchased the jawbone era yesterday to use specifically with Vlingo. I get home and spend all night trying and re-trying to click the link onTHEIR WEBSITE to download for Android, only to find the link corrupted. Or, more like broken. I called customer service and to my surprise got an answer that for the time being Vlingo has decided to stop making their service available for Android. They said that hopefully they'll get the software issues resolved soon but there's no e t a.

I can't help but think that has something to do with their announcement to be exclusively preloaded on Sprint phones beginning with the galaxy s 2.

does anyone on here have the ability to post their version of Vlingo up for download for people like me?

many thanks,

Vicstarman

[HTC Sensation] vicstarman:
Thanks a ton y'all!!!

Parmijo11 and others,

Really, thanks so much for your time and sharing / links etc.

What a delight to get such helpful answers on a forum, so quickly! XDA Dev really is the best group of tech heads out there. Pros!!

thanks a million. I was able to download with no problem from Amazon. NOW the moment(s) of truth will be to see if it works, how many glitches my phone actually causes, and most importantly, if I can get my Bluetooth to work instead of the phone's mic. If I have to use the phone's mic (or a wired headset) then Google Search voice commands work near flawlessly for me already. Though it is nice to have the InCar feature to read, safely, incoming texts.

THANK YOU!!!!
[HTC Sensation] vicstarman:
help! Vlingo can't "hear" me

works great.... except for one "tiny" issue (probably why vlingo pulled out for my device):

No voice commands! Vlingo isn't able to detect my voice for any features whatsoever. Not through the phone mic or a wired head set. I just get a red box with an "X" in it when I'm supposed to be speaking. And the large box that would read "Done" is grayed out and not responsive to touch.

Ideas?

How do I select Vlingo in my voice input settings?

Tried Settings - Voice Input and Output Setting...

No mention of choosing Google, Vlingo, or any other option.
[HTC Sensation] vicstarman:
And yet another....

Well, it appears Vlingo had good reason to hold off on the Sensation for the time being. GLITCHY! After 3 hard resets (one by taking battery out for a minute) I got the voice commands to work perfect. They when saying "send" for a test text msg, it said "Your message is sent", and the screen went to an animated "sending" message.... and stayed there.... locked there.

I hit home, then re clicked on Vlingo icon, reopened Vlingo, pressed InCar to go back in for another test... InCar is locked. Won't even go in at all.

I guess I'll just get what use I can out of it, and maybe they'll put out a new updated version for my phone that works flawlessly.

Thanks for your help people.

Cheers,

VS
[HTC Sensation] dirtyhamster73:
I have version 3.0.4 of vlingo which also has vlingo in car, works perfect. I know that in order for it to work good you need to have the voice dialer installed.... on the sensation anyway. What version does everybody have? If I knew how to post apk's I would post it.
[HTC Sensation] davemazo:
Here is Voice Dialer.

If you have Vlingo 3.04 could you attach that. Obviously as long as its a free version

You do this by choosing "Reply" after this post then switching to "advanced" in the resulting "Reply to Thread" box and then "Manage Attachments" and upload the file as a zip

Here in the UK we don`t have access to Amazon App Store
[HTC Sensation] dirtyhamster73:
Yes, the version I have is free.... I'm on the mobile site and tried attaching the aol but had trouble.... Maybe you could pm me with your email addy and I can send it to you that way and you could post it here? Otherwise I will try it when I get home tonight and go on my laptop.
[HTC Sensation] davemazo:
Many thanks, PM sent

Thanks Andrea all installed and working fine. I`ve attached it here for anybody else who might need it.
[HTC Sensation] dirtyhamster73:
You're very welcome Dave! Thanks for posting the apk, I was having a hard time doing it from the mobile site. Hope this helps y'all! :)
[HTC Sensation] vicstarman:
Dirtyhamster / Dave, THANKS. Works flawlessly!!

didn't understand how to install a DPK... duh, figured it out. DL it on the phone, clicked, installed. Works completely perfectly!

What's interesting is that the version available as of today on Amazon is not even similar in many ways to this one. The layout is different, and the Amazon one crashed my phone completely. Uninstalled it.

Put yours on and in under a minute I was flawlessly voice controlling my phone 100% hands free. You guys are the best! I wish I could buy you a drink for real!

I needed this to work! I was distraught after investing in the Sensation and planning on being able to use Vlingo in the car for hands free.

Last test is to try it with the bluetooth headset. I JUST returned the Jawbone ERA thinking it was a hopeless cause. Thinking about saving a bunch of money and just getting the Blueant Q2 instead though. They both use Vlingo, so should work well.

Opinions?
[HTC Sensation] dirtyhamster73:
Yaaaay Vicstarman! So happy it works for you! :)

I'm not familiar with the blueant q2 but I have the blueant s3 and I love it! It's the speaker system that clips on to the visor of the car....

I just wanted to mention this- To wake up vlingo in car you say out loud "hey, vlingo" and then it'll speak "what to you want to do"? ( in settings you can add your name and it'll say "what do you want to do vicstarman" :) ) She is very particular about the way you say "hey vlingo".... Took me a few tries to wake her up..... Maybe it's just my "Bahston" accent that she doesn't like :)
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
IMO I prefer Jawbone because of the noise assasin tech. BUT I also use my blueant S4 whenever I am in my truck. It's always on and that battery lasts about 2 weeks before I need to charge. Otherwise I use the era and have no problems with static or range as some are having.

I got my Jawbone Era for 80bux open box new. I know the q2 is almost half that but I do not like the earloop. Earloops don't work well with my glasses.

But I heard some like the blueant just as much as the jawbone. I also prefer the jawbone because of the good mytalk programs that can be installed.
[HTC Sensation] davemazo:
nice one guys glad everything is working OK. Thanks go to Andrea for offering to share her version of the software.

Its working well for me too and doing everything I need
[HTC Sensation] dirtyhamster73:

I rooted my phone some time ago but had no S-OFF. I had HBOOT 0.80.000. I could use some roms but not all so i asked for help. Thanks to some/lots help from benco286 i'm now rooted with S-OFF

At last. I flashed RUU_Bravo_Froyo_vodafone_uk_2.33.161.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157522_signed.exe

Until it said upgrade from 2.2.... to 2.3....then clicked cancel

It gave me HBOOT 0.93.00

I then used Revolutionary

after you s-off by revolutionary ，can you flash cm7 hboot img from recovery ？ I can't do that
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terepin:

Flashing HBOOT through recovery when you're S-OFF? Are you on drugs?!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
For the record there is a way to flash hboot tables via recovery but its the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Anyone who did it would definitely need to talk to frank

but from the thread of rmd 1.0.3.4 that said it can directly flash xxx.cm7.img hboot table from recovery .Am I wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maddyn94:
Even if you could flash it in recovery I strongly recommend using fastboot as it is alot safer

No you are not wrong. But I am also of the opinion that fastboot is much safer.

[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Okay, so here's where I'm at. I tried to load the pudding stock SBF and the just bootloader SBF from the pudding thread. And each time I tried to flash either of said files, I got a file error, same as what was posted in the thread. So I've tried to follow that thread on a fix, I can't understand any of what was said. Each time I've tried it my phone has been at 95-100% charged. So I'm not sure what if anything can be done. I have it rooted, and I managed to get the Laser P-Rom or what not onto my phone. But that's about it. The only reason I'm unlocking is for the Alein ROM. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shawn328:
Sbf failed on me 3 times.. But I was still unable to unlock. Try going ahead and doing the fastboot command.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Okay. I can get back to flashing the SBF. But I'm lost at the fastboot command. I tried following the directions on the site I was using, and it didn't come up with anything? Is there is clear set of directions with where to extract the files to? And I'm using command prompt same as I did to root my phone correct?
[Motorola Photon 4G] shawn328:
Are you familiar with adb?

If that is running things through command prompt, yes, I know how to do it but by name, sadly. No. I'm not.

So is there a way to check if I have unlocked my boot loader? I think I have, but I'm not totally for sure.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Sorry for 8 million posts. But I've done it! I just had to read through a couple different things. And actually read what was on the screen and now I've managed to unlock my bootloader. And got it to work. Thanks for the help guys.
[Motorola Photon 4G] billyarison:
what did you have to do for yours?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
http://briefmobile.com/motorola-photon-4g-bootloader-unlocked

I followed that guide. As it was the easiest for me to understand. I failed when trying to flash the pudding file in RSD. So I didn't worry about it, and continued onto the fast boot, and it worked like a charm for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] billyarison:
thanks that did it same issue as far as fail but is unlocked
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Perfect. Glad to be able to help especially after all the trouble I had.

My RSD lite loads me up too 99% and I ignore it and continue, I run the adb commands and get to the prompt with my Unique ID but I'm lost on how maby digits or what format to exactly type back to unlock my device...I see some forums have 11digits and others with 7-10. I have tried type the exact ID word for word and some with only 11digits but always get the error this ID is not correct prompt, Help would be greatly apprecited!

I will post my ID later since its unique to each device it won't matter or a identity level, I just need someone to specifically tell me what to enter when I post my Unique ID

[Motorola Droid 3] WarER4X:
I noticed, after installing the leaked D3 update, that Swype's language was set to spanish. Now, in general, it didn't seem to affect the typing any, but all of the Swype menus and prompts were en espagnol. So, I quickly changed the Swype language option to english and all was well.

Just yesterday, I noticed it was showing spanish prompts again, so I went back to the Swype options and it was still set to english. I switched it to spanish and back to english... no effect. Then, I switched the whole phone's language to spanish and back to english (which caused Motorola Home to FC, for some reason, even though I'm not using it), and then did the same for Swype again. Now it is in english again.

Has anyone else who's installed the update seen this?

[Motorola Droid 3] Tat2dwitetrash:
Yes! I thought I changed it accidentally somehow

If Moto found that bug in their update, I suppose it might result in a higher build number with the current update that is undergoing soak testing. Guess we'll have to wait and see...

i rooted this last night with z4root and did a nandroid backup and then flashed the mik_os compile of CM7, everything has gone fine, but i have decided to try the official firmware to see how it is.

if i nandroid back to the original LG firmware (which was 2.2 based) and then update to the latest release, is it still possible after that to go back to CM7 again if i find i don't like the official gingerbread update? ie. is it possible to root the latest gingerbread update?

i am doing this partly to get the latest radio version but also just to see how good the lg version is compared to aosp/CM

You cannot root the 2.3.3 update from LG, afaik. You've to downgrade it to froyo to root it again.

If you want to go back to CM7 you will have to flash the old baseband via LGMDP or a froyo rom via KDZ.

There is a rom search & download tool on this forum wich will help you download the correct .kdz file; you have to search the thread which contains it.

people have reported the unpacked version working, but i was a bit hesistant as its not how i have done different LG phones, i have normally used the .kdz

if anyone has the v20e .kdz could they mirror it somewhere, would be appreciated by a lot of ppl i think..

I have tried several different keyboards that include spellcheckers and have been unable to see predictions and spelling suggestions. Since the Nook was not sold as a full android device it's very possible B&N left the necessary files out of the system. Can someone here let me know what files I would need to add to be able to use the spell check function? I've tried with several different keyboards and have installed their respective dictionaries so I believe it's not an app issue but a system issue. Thanks again everybody. Ryan
