Hi guys...I have just installed MccM HD V6 sense 2.0 on my SD card...after selecting cllrad then haret I get a white screen with htc in green...nothing seems to be happening after that..I have formatted the sd card as well...i have the latest radio on as well...just recently uninstalled gingerbread......please help!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
How long did you wait for? This ROM takes ages to boot (first time). You seem to be doing everything right. Just try waiting for a while, when I first booted this, I thought it wasn't booting but left it alone for a while and eventually it booted. Don't worry, the next few bootups are a lot faster.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shaz999:
thanks for you reply....i waited about ten mins....

I also tried to install american android last nite...it just showed a grey screen with 'powered by android'...kept the phone on all night!!!!...nothing happened

so i thought i would install a new rom...how long should i wait?.....

my radio is 2.15.50.14

i previously installed tytungs gingerbread rom and no problem installing it but i found it very unstable..

I aslo hold down the volume key and power on before installing for the first time..should i be doing this??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
That shouldn't matter.

OK if you're up to it you could try installing a new Winmo custom ROM (that helped me when I kept getting FC messages on a ROM). There are plenty of guides, just HSPL and flash ROM I think.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shaz999:
hmmm dnt feel to confident in doing that!!!....how long should i wait when i get the htc splashscreen?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Ten minutes should be enough.

Don't worry about flashing ROMs, I'm only 14 and I could do it. As long as you follow the guides to the word you'll be fine :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shaz999:
ok...i will give it one more try before i flash winmo and hspl...can i email u if i get stuck?...i have spl 3.03.000

hi today i flashed FXP new kernel and for some reason i cannot recieve any incoming calls :S i can text out and get texts and i can call out this is wierd i have checked the kernel and it should allow me to recieve calls but its not nothing to do with kernel as its fine. i cant flash with SEUS or pc companion or flash tool i have flashed over 10 diff back ups and nothing :(:(:(:(:(

okay so i finally got flash tool to flash stock rom. But after flashing it just refuses to turn on not even charging it works nor if i take battry out and plug it back in whilst holding the power button. and it will not go into flash mode. from my side of things it has bricked :(:( no way back for it now unless blagus or fxp can enlighten me on a way to recover :(
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikkopt:
It seems you have the first bricked phone due to bootloader problems..

If so, as of now only SE can help you..

Try taking the battery out for at least 15 secs.

Good luck.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rikcon:
Try to reflash baseband,maybe it'll help
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul1989:

Truer absolutely everything refuses to turn on fails flashing because it has no flash mode no power nothing :(

Refraze that I'm gana try something ill post progress very soon but it goes into flash mode but for like half a second a d even if day flashing starts it fails even of I keep hold over bk button
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewtjb:
Was the battery low when u flashed it back to stock by any chance?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikkopt:
Questioner and Rikcon, did you guys at least read his post?

The phone doesn't even turn on, how can he flash anything?

Paul1989, can you charge the battery in another phone? It seems it's discharged and the phone is not charging it.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyan:
Buy another x8, use it's battery and when u r done return it
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul1989:
okay so i finally got the phone to turn back on after about 3hurs of trying to flash anything i could ,baseband,kernels stock rom, nothing worked for hours untill i gave it 1 last try and it turned on :D but !! it does not get pastr sony logo. i have flashed new basebands kernels roms the lot and NOTHING i do can gt it past this f**king logo :'( i will update with progress later but it seems because i unlocked my boot loader and then straight after i unlockerd with the omnius tool that something has gone seriously wrong

OKAY people my friend got my phone back on but it cost me just under £30 lol but im glad
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewtjb:
The fact that the phone is on is a good sign have you tried restoring the bootloader to its locked state it may fix your problem just have to make sure you've got the original kernel just have to go into s1tool and press restore
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul1989:
have tryed this i get only ERROR. think it because i dont know what the last thing i flashed to it was lol. i have tryed to restore so many times. just will not work but i have got a friend with riffbox so i have called him and he has picked it up to see if he can get it on again. :D hopefully he has because i need to see if my kernel has bugs ect and check everythings working on it :). will let you all know tonight when he brings it back.

Gorilla glass and lcd are a glued single unit, i believe you have purchased the right part and it does have the gorilla glass attached.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watermelun:
You are safe

Yup. You are good to go. The glass comes with the LCD. I wont be too sure that its gorilla glass though. It scratches very easily.

Then again the original gorilla glass wasnt too shatter proof anyway. :D
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p51d007:
I see a lot of posts regarding the unbreakable glass on anything that has the gorilla glass. I think the proper term is SCRATCH resistant, not unbreakable?

I think Corning needs to rework it so if you drop it on a corner, it won't shatter ;)

I took the screen protector off of mine over 2 months ago and even as much as it is in and out of the pouch, in the car unprotected, not one scratch. The plastic around it? Now that is another matter :)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alperin1:
Yup all the screens I have purchased had the gorilla glass. You cannot buy it and if you could I do not see how you would install it.

I have been running withour screen protection and see no need to put anything on the glass.

I did have a screen protector cor months. I do not think it is needed.

Two Dell Streaks fell at the same time..

Actually guys,

My dad has a dell streak too but that one is with TPU soft case. Both of them fell from the same height. But mine as it was bare bodied, and might have fell on the sweet spot which broke the glass. The other one is scratchless. so now i understand the necessity of the rubber case, also it tends to slip without it from your hands which i have noticed it a couple of times. So lesson learned.. never get off a bigger phone from its layer (case).. Glad it is not an expensive loss though..

Thanks for all your inputs guys..

Raj..:rolleyes:
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] (InsertNameHere):
Buy a Otterbox Commuter or Defender case, the screen protector is crap, but the case itself is very good, should save you the price of buying a new screen. Does make the device quite big, but then its not a small phone.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birdisthewordfella:
Okay, first off, I will preface this thread and questions by stating that I come from cdma phone world. This glacier is my first GSM android and I find them absolutely facinating. Secondly, I am advanced in the tech sector, so I am asking these questions from a professional standpoint and any help or input is welcomed. :D

So on with the questions.

1.) For GSM phones, is there a utility application like CDMAworkshop and QPST that I can use to see the settings (radio and network settings is mostly what I am after).

Currently, I am aware of an app called SIM TOOLKIT but it only asks for a 8 digit unlock code for the SIM itself, not for the phone. I would like to change the settings of the quality of the calls, and just play around with stuff I am familiar with, or become familiar with.

2.) What is a IMSI, IMEI, and what does the GSM phone send to the carrier (provider network)? I know with CDMA phones, we just can read the memory and change serial numbers. But I have a tracfone sim card and a mytouch tmob phone. I want the mytouch to be able to use the phone portion but they keep disconnecting me, so I have to match my info to the other phone. I got it to work successfully time and time again, but I keep getting disconnected, and it looks like its by a human cause its not at all in sync with a timer or a pattern, at least I haven't noticed it. I know they can dc phones at will and I was just wondering what information they get when making that decision.

3.) Has anyone done a tracfone sim on a glacier (t-mobile mytouch 4g) before? I have the sim unlocked, s-off, root, and custom recovery. I have also changed the IMEI number. I know the process of opening it up in a binary program, using the command 'dd' to modify /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 cause thats where its located. Also there is a T-MOB010 carrier id in that file, should I be changing this to tracfone's CID (carrier ID) and if so, does anyone know that?

I know this is a bit advanced, hopefully someone out there will help me out. There is no funny business going on here, I am just trying to use my tracfone sim in my droid, both are my phones, one i bought from someone for cheap.

I get it to work but random times it will get Disconnected seems like a person. Talk and Text only is needed, not mobile network or 3g or 4g.

ALSO, concerning /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 that is where the IMEI is located... does anyone know any other locations of IMSI or IMEI numbers? I find this fascinating and would like to know what mmcblk0p7 stands for, and what part of the radio and firmware this makes up as well of other locations similiar to this.

:cool:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
I've answered to the best of my ability.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Your questions might be better addressed to the Tracfone subforum on HowardForums.

Tracfone locks the SIM to the phone. If you wanted to use your own phone, why in the world did you go with Tracfone?

If you want to get pay-by-the-minute service on your MT4G, go with T-Mobile prepaid or AT&T GoPhone. There are also other MVNOs of both T-Mo and AT&T that do allow you to bring your own device.

If you plan on using data, your best speeds will be found on T-Mobile or its MVNO Simple Mobile due to hardware radio compatibility.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birdisthewordfella:
Yes, thank you very much. As far as tracfone goes, its both a CDMA and GSM carrier, I do believe if you get a leased number from them you will get either verizon (which will be a cdma phone) or you will get AT&T (which I currently have) one and that will even display AT&T when porting it over.

I don't have a lot of money and the job market is dry so until I save enough up to move then I just research the tech that I can get my hands on, this is a good way to learn, which brings me to my next question to your reply...

HAS ANYONE EVER GOT IN TROUBLE FOR THIS??? I'm not selling or distributing or even trying to access anything i'm not supposed to to benefit or gain by taking away so I'm just curious if there have been any cases where they show up from someone just tinkering... by 'they' i mean the fuzz.

And for the AT&T go phone, their sims are better? could I just pull that out and put it in my glacier?

Thanks guys.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
If you go with AT&T GoPhone, the key is to just buy a SIM - not a GoPhone itself. The phones that come with airtime bonuses are locked to the SIM for some number of months. If you buy just a SIM you can use it in any phone. Voice calls are 10¢/min. If you buy $100 in airtime you get a 1-year expiry, but all other denominations are shorter and would lead to a higher annual spend if you stick with them.

If you go with T-Mobile prepaid, get a SIM activation kit (both a SIM and an activation code included). If you buy a full $100 in airtime right off the bat, you get a 10¢/minute rate, 1-year expiry, *and* every top-up you make from that point onwards will have a 1-year expiry (even a $10 top-up). Or you can top up as little as $10 and get a 90-day expiry but a much higher per-minute rate.

It all really depends on your usage pattern - how many minutes and texts would you use? Do you have any interest in getting data?

If you end up switching and you have a balance left to burn in your TracFone account, you can always do so using SMS donation (look up Mobile Giving Foundation for a list of charities).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birdisthewordfella:
Yeh, i found what I am going to do, the go phone is .10c a min, or $2 a day for unlimited. That's not bad at all. They even have unlimited for $50 /mo. So I'm definitely doing that. Thanks for the suggestion. Btw, that unlimited is voice text and DATA! :eek:

I will visit the mall tomorrow and see if mall cellphone repair shops have eMMC on their stock, which i doubt they have.

2nd is how hard is it to solder an eMMC chip? can cellphone repair shops on mall do it or I need an HTC engineer to do it properly?

I have just installed Sonybread v8 on my Xperia 10 mini pro, everything is okay, but I have a problem to set the personal ringtone, as there is no such menu on the contacts. Then I use Go Contacts, when it ran at the first time it worked, but the next time, all the ringtone just the default one. Can anybody help me to overcome this problem?:confused: (Especially to Paul, is it a minor bug for this ROM? As I also used Mini CM7 Pro v8 which also had the same problem :mad:)

Anyway, the ROM is so far so good, thanks before hands!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SgtMac02:
Ok, so I have the HTC Touch Pro 2 and was running froyo 2.2 (FXR07) and the bluetooth was working fine. It was actually working to route audio to my stereo headphone for listening to my audiobooks! Then, it suddenly stopped working correctly. I started having to manually re-pair the device each time. Shortly after that, it stopped allowing BT to turn on correctly at all. If I check the box to enable bluetooth, it begins cycling back and forth between turning bluetooth on and turning bluetooth off, until I uncheck the box. I tried updating to FFXR07.1 and had the same issue. I tried GBX0A and still had the same issue.

Note, I did carry over my data.img, which I realize I may want to go back and just try from scratch with the raw files and let it make a new data.img, but I will have to gack and try that again later to see.

Anyone got any other bright ideas on this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PandaEmu:
This has been answered but I'll answer again. Delete the data.img. if you are switching between builds format the card first. Use titanium backup to backup any apps and info you need formatting is your friend.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SgtMac02:
re: Bluetooth

Thanks for the suggestion and reply. I did actually go back later and try recreating the data.img file completely. I tried this on both the GBX0A and FXR07.1 to no avail. I'll try formatting the card completely, but I'd like to give that titanium backup a try first. I'm not familiar with this, though and I'll have to see if I can find it and find out how to use it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PandaEmu:
I wouldn't even use bluetooth at all yet. Audio routing isn't fully functional yet. Patience is a virtue my friend.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SgtMac02:
But that's just it...it WAS working fine...for a couple of weeks. Then all of a sudden just stopped working. And I Thought I'd seen in the dev thread where they thought they had it partially working.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PandaEmu:
In test kernels it works but test kernels use unstable code which can cause more harm than good to your build
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SgtMac02:
So, at the risk of exposing my true ignorance here....what is the appropriate way to format the microSD card? Obviously I can't do it from within Android since that is running from the card. I have downloaded the HP format tool that is listed at the begining of the development thread, but it doesn't seem to detect anything. I'm assuming that it won't format the card while the card is in the phone, right? I'm guessing I've probably got to go dig out (if I can find it) the adapter that will allow me to plug the card directly into my computer, right? Or is there some way to do it from inside the phone with the phone plugged into USB?

Edit: Disregard. I figured out what I was doing wrong. When plugging it in while booted into WinMo, I had neglected to select to use it as a disk drive before. Once I did that, I was able to use either the HP tool or the Windows disk management tool. I used the latter since this one allowed me to set the allocation units to 4k as I had seen suggested elsewhere for performance improvement.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PandaEmu:
Well I hope you enjoy xdandroid :p I don't use bluetooth ever so the feature isn't a big deal for me. Everything I need works and I'm relatively happy with it.
