[HTC Desire S] borga2g:
Thanks to all, but knowing that does not remove the battery is good for the device I waited until the battery is die to attack power and after a couple of minutes it restarted normally. Can you tell me the reason for this block?

Thanks for the answers;)
[HTC Desire S] :
Sometimes if you don't wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing a new rom, you get boot loops. Can also happen if you have the wrong kernel for the particular custom rom.

It can also happen if you flash a theme that is not suitable for your rom build.
[HTC Desire S] borga2g:
Maybe because when i installed the rom i used the zip file to do the wipe, also because i have not installed any kernel or theme after the flash of the rom..

Anyway, thanks for the tips, i hope does not happen again.

[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
More information please. How did it get that way? What happens if you pul the battery and then power I back on?
[HTC Incredible S] Cateye:
a friend was playing with it.. no idea what he did & about the battery thing i tried pulling the battery couple of times but problem is still there.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Best bet is to grab the official RUU for your phone and try running it reset and restore your phone. The offical RUUs are in the Development section
[HTC Incredible S] suaji:
i wish can get the answer on this thread..

later if i bricked my phone, so i know how to fix..

i tried couple of RUU

You are using goldcard right?
[HTC Incredible S] Cateye:
GoldCard??? When it comes to Android i am still noob so please explain ...

EDIT Are you talking about this method?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1104226

correct me if i am wrong but don't i need working HTC Incredible S .. mine is stuck on HTC logo...
[HTC Incredible S] neo-X:
Yes, i meant that method in that thread.

No, the stock ruu .exe file will run from bootloader.

Also, very important, if you were s-off before this happened, do not flash anything lower than the version it shows in your above photo. The "2.12.720.5" is your mainversion.

So i would create a goldcard, and run this ruu...

This version is still rootable with latest revolutionary so no need to worry ;)
[HTC Incredible S] Cateye:
in order to create GoldCard do i have to S OFF cell phone ? If yes then how?
[HTC Incredible S] neo-X:
No, although if you had s-off with revolutionary then you wouldn't need the goldcard, but because you are s-on you need the goldcard. You will s-off once you get your phone booting again.

Thanks for your swift response... I was wondering can i make a Goldcard on some other ( working ) HTC incrediable S and then pull out that SD card and insert it in my current Incredible S which is stuck on HTC logo ?? Will this method work?

i use this GoldCard window base software few days back in order to Root my Wildfire will that software work for incredible S?

EDIT ohh man i am running in circles... in order to RUN GoldCard window tool i need

USB Debugging enabled on the device and the fact my cell is stuck on HTC logo i cant enabled USB debugging mode...
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes, you can make a goldcard on another phone and use it in your IncS.

a friend of mine sent me a goldcard he used this on his Incredible S

i did the following steps mention in this thread

i turned off my antivirus/ antispam / firewall everything tried again but still i am getting this message. Any idea how to tackle this problem
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
If he sent you a goldcard, then you shouldn't have to do anything to it. Just stick it in your phone. Your buddy has already done those steps. That's what makes it a goldcard.
[HTC Incredible S] neo-X:
Exactly, all you have to do is format it in windows and insert into your phone and run the ruu.
[HTC Incredible S] PhuongHoang:
You should be set S-OFF for your phone and flash custom Rom (better ship Rom)....

Guys may be i was not clear enough my friend did not actually sent me SD card. He sent me GoldCard.img file

Now when i am trying to follow these steps & edit this Goldcard.img with HxD Hex Editor as mentioned in this thread

Hey all :D ...

So i got the phone from Cateye to fix , and thankfully, its done and fixed now , all thanx to xda :D Thought id post so might help others :)

1- GoldCard worked... but 2GB goldcard still not working. I made my 4GB card as a gold card and that worked :D (using mmc2 ... mmc1 didnt work either!)

2- RUU i used was RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed ... and it worked perfectly :D

don't know of any android software but what you can do is enter your router's config settings and temporary disable your internet connection between the hrs you want. i.e from 12:00 midnight to 7:00Am every day.

now this will obviously only work for wifi versions that require your home network to connect.

[Defy General] Gothos:
Hello all,

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but I thought I'd give it a try.

I own a Desire myself and the rooting / flashing a new ROM process was pretty easy so I thought I can help a friend out and put a custom ROM on his new Motorola Defy. Turns out I sucked at it. *ahem*

Right, the problem is as follows:

I got the brand new device, used SuperOneClick to root it, tried ROM Manager to install ClockworkMod CWM and it said Defy isnt supported in ROM Manager. So I google'd and it came up with this [german] (not allowed to post links), which basically gave me CWM.zip with an apk in it, which installed "System Recovery" and gave me the option to "Install System Recovery" and Reboot into Recovery - successfully bootet into CWM 2.5.1.8 , alright.

I did a nandroid backup and then wiped everything, selected the ROM on the sdcard to install MIUI 1.9.9 ROM, which worked fine. After it finished installing, I chose reboot system now.

Now what happens is:

I try to boot normally: I Only get the Motorola logo on screen and nothing ever happens

I boot into recovery like I used to know (Power + VolDown), I get a screen with a yellow exclamation mark and the android robot on it. Figured out that both volume keys take me to Android System Recovery Utility. I wiped everything again, that didn't help. I tried giving it the CWM.zip as an update.zip but it refuses that because it's apparently not properly signed. I can't do anything else in there. It also gives me a couple of errors "E: Can't moint CACHE:recovery/command" (/caller, /log)

Please, can anybody help me out? It seems I can't boot any ROM from it right now, nor do I know how to get CWM back in to at least even restore the nandroid backup (which I still have).

I would love to, at the end of the day, have a rooted device with CWM running and MIUI 1.9.9. If that doesn't work, at least can I restore the CWM backup somehow to have to stock ROM running?

I would really appreciate any help very much and realize I may be in over my head, it just seemed too easy on the Desire I previously used. Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesuperzman:
Gang,

First, I've had this issue for about two weeks and tried every thread in XDA and other places. While some seem like my issue or hit the mark, they don't seem to work.

Background: I bricked the device as I tried to return to stock firmware from the European firmware on my T-Mobile Tab.

Through several different macerations, I've ended up with a Galaxy Tab that has a black screen.

It appears I can utilize Odin to update or change firmware (I get passes) and the Tab responds as if it is relatively normal (power off and also power+volume down seems to get to me a state where I can use Odin).

The problem is no matter what I do, the screen is always black. I've tried different firmwares, etc - but the screen always remains black. Odin says I am successful, but seem to show nothing on the screen.

Any thoughts?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shad0wboss:
Ok there are 2 options...

1. Port ROM from another device

2. Extract kernel and modules from another ROM.

And now i have questions regarding these options.

a. 1st option requires me to have the ROM from the other device i want to port the ROM from? (in this case Htc flyer/Galaxy S)

b. option 2 would be for extracting kernel from my phone's ROM (in this case my I9001). Is this true?

c. Which format the ROM should be in the folder named "orignial_update". SHould it be in .zip format or what?

d. so how does it work, do i use 2nd option first to pull out kernel or is this extracting kernel off my rom?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dastin1015:
If you are trying to port a ROM from another phone to yours you will use the 1st option. You will need a ROM meant for your device as well. When you select the first option, if will allow you to see the supported formats.

I've been building a ROM with Misfits Speedy port v1.0 as my base, but I think I'd like to port my own. I've been using dsixda's kitchen for a while, and have had mixed success in porting ROMs myself, but I really don't know what my options are as far as what other ROMs might be compatible or what other ROMs can actually be ported for CDMA use. There are a couple that I'd like to try, but the newest leaked versions of them are for GSM phones.

I am in no way a developer, but I am in no way inexperienced. This is kind of a gray area for me, but during the transition from Froyo to Gingerbread, I lose the one of the most important features to me: t-mode (aka diagnostic mode: power on while holding 't'. It's used for flashing to to other CDMA networks). Is it possible to create a script or something to get into t-mode on an AOSP Gingerbread ROM?

Edit: I'm an idiot. Hold 't', plug in USB, continue holding 't' until you hear/see the 'something just got plugged in' notification from your computer, and let go IMMEDIATELY (or your phone will just restart). Your phone should boot up like normal, except it will not acknowledge that there is any USB cable plugged in. You are now in t-mode (also known as diagnostic mode) which enables you to use CDMA Workshop and QPST. Voila!

[Verizon Droid Charge] angelsix:
Yes, I definitely mean “wonderful” and “experts.” It is astonishing how much time, effort, and expertise the people who write the ROMs, etc., do for others, just to help us enjoy our cellphones. So, it is with no disrespect that I offer these comments on the instructions the experts give to us noobies to help us try to make our phones work better when they post “complete” instructions about how go to about this.

#1 – Odin.

There’s lots of advice to get Odin, but there are lots of Odin versions out there. Usually (generally in the computer world) what works when there’s a recommendation to get a program is to find the latest version. Even if a forum posting has a link to get a program, we figure that was the latest version available when the post was made and it still makes sense to get the currently latest version. That doesn’t work here. The latest Odin version I found was Odin 4.28. 4.28 totally fails to recognize my Samsung Droid Charge. But, if I use the ones referenced in the postings here (e.g. Odin3 v1.85) it recognizes my phone immediately. I understand the feeling that if we’re noobies we should just follow the directions exactly as written, but a little footnote about how this is different than everything else with computers would help.

I’m sure it isn’t true, but Odin seems to come from a mystical cloud location without any existence in our 3 dimensional universe. So, there seems to be no home website to explain that the latest version shouldn’t necessarily be used by everybody. And, there seems to be nobody on the forum who takes credit for upgrading Odin. Very mysterious.

Also – there’s at least three ways I’ve seen adamantly expressed as the proper way to connect a phone to Odin. #1 – simply attach the phone to the computer in the usual “download” mode, and Odin will find it.

#2 – Take out the phone battery for 5 seconds, replace it, then boot into recovery mode by holding down the up-volume, power, and home keys until “Samsung” flashes twice.

#3 – Take out the battery and don’t return it. Plug the phone into the computer, booting into recovery mode like #2.

As far as I can tell, #2 and #3 were needed for prior versions of Odin. Still, we noobies do Google this process, and it’s scary getting these conflicting directions about how to proceed. So, since you are obviously trying to make things less scary and confusing for us, you could mention this too.

Part of the problem is that there are various “Here’s how to replace your stock ROM with a better one” postings. Maybe each of them works perfectly, and there are many paths to enlightenment. Still, it’s worrisome for a noobie to try to figure out which of these paths to bet our phone on. (Of course, it’s also difficult for people trying to actually achieve spiritual enlightenment to decide on a path, so maybe this confusion is just an inevitable part of human experience.)
