Nothing happend but when i plug in my usb it vibrates once and is recognised in devise manager as MY HTC!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cartermg120:
Have you tried using revolutionary to s off it, that will flash another revovery and may kick it in to life just an idea?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimicuk:
Just tried that and it says Device "/sbin/sh: getprop: not found" is not supported at this time
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cartermg120:
So you can't get to bootloader?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimicuk:
nope :(

If i try to run another RUU it just says Error 170 USB Connection Error
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cartermg120:
What happens if you run unrevoked again? If it picks up?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimicuk:
i just get this error "Device "/sbin/sh: getprop: not found" is not supported at this time"
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its possible you haven't done much research.

1) Maybe in recovery, if you pressed the power button to flash a rom, you would find it switched off the screen. Pressing power again (if this was the case) would turn the back on. You could then use trackball to select

2) RUU's starting 1.x are Eclair Roms. They more often than not do not support SLCD screens so this could have given you an SLCD Brick.

If you get wrong version, it hasn't flashed anything at that time so the RUU shouldn't have broken anything, although now you are getting USB errors, sounds like you needed to do the USB brick fix

You say when you try to get into hboot, you get nothing? define nothing clearly please? Have you removed the battery at all since any of this?

People, please understand what it is you are doing before doing it. If you dont understand something, ask before doing it. If I am right about the above, nearly bricking a phone because the wrong button was pressed in recovery has to be about the most extreme case of this sort of thing I have seen.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimicuk:
Yes i have removed the battery and tried to get hboot but nothing :(

So does this mean i am goosed then?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
What do you mean nothing? does it vibrate? Please go into detail
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimicuk:
Please can you guide me to the correct stock rom for my phone? it is on t-mobile UK?

The phone now says Android bootloader interface in device manager

Could you also tell me how to do the usb brick fix?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimicuk:
Yes it vibrates once and thats it.

It also vibrates once when i plug in the usb
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Im not telling you anything unless you answer my questions. Sorry to be brutal, but you're not helping yourself here

Edit, Thank you.

It still looks like an SLCD brick to me. I can't for the life of me figure out how if it got wrong bootloader version though...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimicuk:
I dont mind you being brutal it will learn me not to make the same mistake again :)

I am really grateful for you helping me

Ok, lets take our time with this, I dont think tonight is our night as shipped roms appears to be down so we can't necessarily get the latest TMO RUU from there. Also it may not be the latest.

Have you got:

1) A goldcard?

2) A card reader?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimicuk:
sorry i havent got a gold card but i have a card reader
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
OK well you have the most important one that we need. Wit a card reader we can make a goldcard.

Follow the below link to make a goldcard using your reader. You need to format the card, so ensure you back it up first.

http://androidforums.com/desire-all...aq-rooting-updated-10th-august-2011-a.html#16

Wait a second for it to jump to the right point of the thread.

Incase I am not around for the entirety of this, here is what we are doing.

1) making a gold card

2) Downloading an unbranded RUU 2.28.405.5

3) Booting to fastboot and trying to run the RUU

If that fails, we are going to have to try the PB99IMG.zip method for the same rom, blind.

Get on with the goldcard and come back when you're done. Use this link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20471345/SUroot/Tools/PC/GoldCard Tool.rar to download the actual goldcard tool
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimicuk:

I got to go.

I am going to palm you off on this guide:

I there any way of doing that??

There's a setting when you go to post in Friendstream that allows you to post to one or the other or both.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BmoreBadBoy:
I listen to podcasts on BeyondPod Beta using CM7 lastest nightly via LG BT HBS-700 stereo headsets. When I hit the play/pause button when the screen is on, it works fine. When the screen is off and the podcast is not playing, when the play/pause button is hit, it turns the screen on, resumes playing, then almost immediately it skips ahead about 30 seconds. When it is playing and the screen is off, it turns on the screen and takes 3 seconds before playing, then skips 30 seconds and continues playing from there. This is really annoying. The only fix I can think of is changing the settings so the screen never turns off. Obviously, this would decimate battery life. Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michipoo18:
I think it started with the last update of beyondpod. I've been having the same problem with one minor difference. Even if the screen is on, hitting play on my headset will still cause the podcast to skip ahead 30 seconds. I can pause a podcast with my headset, but then when I want to resume playing I have to use the touch-pad on my phone so it won't skip ahead.

Here's my set up.

Phone = HTC EVO 4G

Android Version = 2.3.5

Headset = LG HBS-700

BeyondPod = 3.0.19

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijustwantthedownload:
Saw last night on Engadget that the Verizon update finally came out. I can't use PC Companion because Verizon doesn't use the MTP driver so I have to do OTA update. I also tried SEUS and it said my phone was up to date.

My phone is prompted to install the update; it downloads about 54MB and starts to install after rebooting a few times. Eventually it comes up and says it failed.

I checked Settings > About Phone > Software update > Update now > Info, and it says

Firmware version:

SEMC_R800_R800x_user_3.0.E.2.89_1245-4101_R68C

Source: Verizon Wireless

Update status: Update Failed

Reason code: 403

Update package size: 54.58 MB

This software update includes enhancements and improvements to to your Xperia PLAY(R800x)

MobileCare version: 6.1.0_B191_SE.

I moved a lot of apps to SD to give me more internal space and tried again, same result.

Removed battery for about five minutes; same result.

My Play is rooted and the BL was unlocked, but locked it again so I could do the OTA update.

Any help guys? I'd love to get these awesome features!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m6droid:
They roll out these updates in batches. More than likely your buddy just isn't in any of the groups that have rolled out so far. Verizon does this so their servers aren't always clogged with people trying to download.

I called Verizon last weekend because my wife's stock non rooted dinc hadn't received the update - they talked to an engineer who said they were still going out, and that they didn't have a timeline for completion. That was 8 days ago and we are still waiting. The good that's come of this is that I'm actually considering getting s-off on her phone just so when we sell them next April hers will be worth more.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisepic0727:
Does anyone else get the sense that Verizon has stopped updates in the last few days? I'm probably wrong, but it doesn't seem like there have been any word on the update still going out. I wonder if it was halted because of some of the issues that were found (such as wrong screen size and the Sprint error).

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw another OTA (version 4 perhaps) rolled out in another month or so to correct those issues -- and maybe then the update will reach everyone.

I get two days out of regular use from my mugen 3600. I've had it for about 5 months now. Still runs strong.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] nik3r:
I get 2 days of regular use and over 3 days with little usage on my 1800mAh battery, you should get LOADS more on yours, 4 days at a minimum.

Charge up to 100%, let it rest on charger for 2 more hours.

Go to recovery and wipe battery stats.

Use the device as normal but do not charge until it dies at 0%.

Charge to 100% and again let it rest a bit, then resume your normal usage.

Every once in a while or after flashing a new ROM, let it discharge to 0 to get accurate readings.

And also be aware that google GPS-based apps have problems on CM7 based ROMs and the GPS sometimes stays awake or some such bug. It doesn't show on battery usage graph but every time you use google maps, google goggles or similar I recommend rebooting because there's a chance it's slowly draining your battery in the background.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] scottmog:
My normla usage is more then your normal usage, end of story.

Play n64oid daily on your phone and see how much faster it dies.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] thomas_wlc:
Just a thought: Do you really use google maps so much that it can account for 22% of energy consumption on a 3.6k mah battery? That seems kind of excessive to me.

I mention this since I used to have problems with google maps starting on its own in the background and it really drained the battery like crazy. (oddly enough it would only start whenever i opened the stock mail client.)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] G1ForFun:
The latest google maps does not run in the back ground even after exiting like previous versions of maps (you would have to either reboot the phone or use a 3rd party app to manually kill everything related to maps).

So my recommendation is to do what the above said with the calibration and then make sure you are on the latest maps.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] redpoint73:
A lot of people give the advice to drain the battery until it dies. Very poor advice, and you can kill the battery that way. Just drain to 20% or so. No need to go any lower, its not going to make the battery meter any more accurate.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] killj0y:

change of email address

try this for email address change (link below).. as far as the rest if you download a custom ROM for Android, I have never seen one larger than 200mb but no idea how big the webOS ROM is, so pretty much combine the two and whatever method will be used to dual-boot. Figure, there isn't any MircroSD card, no GPS, and who knows what else is lacking so the Android ROM alone should only be maybe 150mb at the most. Hope this helps..

Well do a nandroid of your current rom. Go back to your old rom with the nandroid you said you have. Download an app to back up your SMS make. Go back to the nandroid of the rom you want to use and redownload the app you used to backup your SMS and then restore.

Hello dear friends!

HTC let me down :( Kind of stupid phones indeed at least desire...

I have my phone for quite a time now, it is rooted with unrewoked, clockwork recovery and s-on. I flashed many different roms in the past and everything was brilliant. In a pas half-a-year or so I stayed with only one ROM - MIUI-Au. I kept updating it to the newer versions and so on and on. Never had any random reboot or something. At least maybe it was because of some strange app or something else. But now it started to reboot randomly and constantly!

Phone gets hot abit and it just reboots, and never comes to android homescreen again, until I put out the battery, hold it for few minutes, pop it back and then it boots. But as soon as start to play music, or run a game the phone gets hot abit and reboots again. and so on and on. I thought maybe it was a miui issue. So I tried to flash different roms, but guess what? None of the even boot! The main screen shows and with the same second it bootloops again and forever!... :((

Even from recovery it sometimes reboots randomly. So i managed somehow to flash my miui back and it at least boots. But it is very unstable now, I barely can use my phone now :(

PLEASE WHO CAN HELP ME???? :(

My warranty probably out of date, and my phone is rooted, I dont think HTC would accept it...

any thoughts? friends?
