[Motorola Droid 3] Eggathis:
so, im new to theming... and im working toward getting a black status bar... i have pulled 'framework-res.apk' from my phone and modified 'status_bar_background.png' to black and replaced it in the apk... is there anything else that i need to do, or can i safely push it back to my phone and test it? all i want to do change is the status bar color from that icky blue to black... not change the color of the clock/text, etc... just want to be positive i can go forward, thanks

i figured the general section would be best, since i dont have a working black status bar yet to share with everyone... my apologies if it should have been posted in themes instead

EDIT 1: for the record, i am running the stock deodexed 890 from rootzwiki... i tried it, and it booted fine, but the only black in the status bar is the notifications area in the drop down... going to continue on my quest to get a fully black status bar lol... will continue to post edits of my advancements as i make them
[G2 and Desire Z General] asunp:
I guess I'm pretty much SOL, but want some suggestions. Here's my situation:

G2 with

VISION PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.82.0000

MICROP-0425

RADIO-26.03.02.26_M

eMMC-boot

Sep 2 2010,17:59:38

-Won't boot past the white and green HTC screen both on normal boot and boot into Recovery.

- Can't get adb to see the device.

- Fastboot works.

Tried:

- A few PC10IMG.zip, G2 sees it, checks it out, but won't flash it. If there is a PC10IMG.zip that you feel will help, please let me know.

- fastboot flash recovery doesn't work with error saying: FAILED (remote: signature verify fail).

- fastboot boot <recovery>.image fails with error: FAILED (remote: not allowed).

- fastboot update doesn't work either.

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
Try this one. Rename it to pc10img.zip and place it on your sd card.

[G2 and Desire Z General] asunp:
Thanks, I'll try that one. Is that the latest stock ROM? Is it rooted?
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
No, its not rooted. You can read more about it here:

edit: I don't think it can be rooted at this time either, but I may be wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z General] asunp:
I haven't read the whole thread, but will it be tough to root from this stock ROM? Ehm, probably I should not get my hopes up too soon. :)

Edit:

Too bad, the G2 complains about "Lack of heap" for this PC10IMG.zip. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Thanks, but still no luck. It checks out the PC10IMG.zip with progress bar, then "Checking.." and goes back to HBOOT page without flashing anything.
[G2 and Desire Z General] asunp:
So this is probably the closest I got to unbricking, but still no dice. I use this PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip as PC10IMG.zip and the phone actually says "Main version is older" and refuses to flash.

Will it be possible to use a hex editor and edit the version number to trick the G2 to flash that ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
After it checks the pc10img.zip you don't get any prompt at all to update, such as volume bar up to update and volume bar down to cancel?
[G2 and Desire Z General] asunp:
Nope, it just went back to the HBOOT page. However, with the other PC10IMG.zip file I mentioned, it actually says that the "main version is older" and hence not flashing. I'm thinking if I can just edit the version in android-version.txt, then maybe that will trick the G2 to flash? Is there any other place/file where version check is done?
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
After you put the pc10img.zip on the sd card and you reboot into bootloader, press the power bar one time and there should be a progress bar on the right side that does a check. After that, don't do anything, just report here what is says on the phone display.
[G2 and Desire Z General] asunp:
Here's the result so far:

1. PC10IMG.zip from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074391

PC10IMG_Vision_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.13.531.8_Radio_12.52.60.25_26.08.04.30_M3_release_188635_signed.zip

No blue bar, error saying "Lack of heap" during Loading...[PC10IMG.zip]

2. PC10IMG.zip from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=912399

There is a blue bar progress. After the bar is all blue, phone proceeds to "Checking...[PC10IMG.zip]" and then it simply jumped back to HBOOT/bootloader page with Fastboot, Recovery, etc options. No error message or any option whatsoever.

3. PC10IMG.zip from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835971

PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip

Blue bar progress. After bar is all blue, phone proceeds to "Checking..[PC10IMG.zip]". Then error message saying:

Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

Press <POWER> to reboot.

That's why I thought maybe by hacking the version in the 3rd PC10IMG.zip might trick the phone to flash the PC10IMG.zip.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
Well, that might be your only option left... good luck with it. I can't think of anything more except to wait it out for others to jump in here with possible solutions.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
You could mod the stock images, but you would have to sign it with HTC's signature. Maybe a goldcard will fix this?

If I follow this correctly, the main version is older error is because you are trying to flash an older ROM on top of an new one. You are also using the stock, S-ON, non-engineering bootloader so you get stuck at the signature checks.

Maybe you might get lucky...

[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
If you can boot into the system, or a custom recovery, it is possible to change the version values, using the misc_version tool from the wiki.

Otherwise, you could try flash the 2nd PC10IMG via fastboot.

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] asunp:
Unfortunately, I can't boot into the system. I can only get the bootloader and fastboot. Both recovery and normal boot give me the HTC splash screen and stuck there. Thus I cannot use adb at all :(

I guess I'll look more into the gold card method. I've never tried a gold card before. Is there a good tutorial on this? Thanks for all the suggestions.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
Don't rule out adb until you try it. Even if it's stuck on the splash screen, you might be able to use adb shell.

I'm not 100% sure the gold card will work, but it's worth a shot. You can search for it on xda- other phones relied on it more for rooting than the g2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] asunp:
Well, after checking the PC10IMG.zip that I've used, I still have some questions.

From my understanding, the second PC10IMG.zip won't work because it's not signed. It is a homebrew with clockwork recovery, original 1.12 ROM and .76 HBOOT. That's probably why the phone just returns back to G2 HBOOT screen after checking the PC10IMG.zip

The problem with third PC10IMG.zip is simply that it's too old and G2 refuses to flash it.

My question is why the first PC10IMG.zip not flashing? It is the latest OTA from T-MO, signed and sealed :) All I get is "Lack of heap" error when the HBOOT found the PC10IMG.zip
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
You might be onto something...

The unofficial leaked version is 2.13.531.8, but the official GB update is higher - 2.15.531.3.

It's out here somwhere- let me fire up the ol' search engine.

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ----------

Try the ROM in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1210835

It's version is 2.15.531.8, so it should be higher than any T-MO ROM out there.

If you still get the lack of heap error, than try a gold card.

Good luck!

Edit: to be clear, the first ROM you flashed is the leaked version - 2.13.531.3.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
Goldcard will not help, a goldcard only lets you bypass CID errors.

I've only seen lack of heap when someone tried to flash a DZ PC10IMG to a G2, so make sure you have a proper one.

You can try flash it from fastboot.

1. get to fastboot (hold down trackpad when powering up, or select fastboot from hboot menu)

2. in cmd 'fastboot devices' to make sure it works (from tools or platform-tools if you havn't set Path variable)

3. fastboot oem rebootRUU (this will get you to a black screen with silver HTC logo)

4. fastboot flash zip PC10IMG.zip

If it stops and says "FAILED: Repeat Immediatly" just redo the fastboot flash zip command.

[G2 and Desire Z General] asunp:
The ROM from gee one above got me somewhere. The G2 has been trying to update for about 30mins now and still at Bootloader stage :D I'm sure it shouldn't take this long.

I'll try the fastboot method when this fails. Fastboot is able to see the device. Just a quick question, does this method only works for signed / official ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
If you are s-on it only works for signed roms.

If it refuses to flash at all you might have the bad emmc chip problem

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] nonione:
just out of curiosity how did you get into this situation?
[G2 and Desire Z General] asunp:
I have another G2 that is pretty beat up. So I decided to pick up another one. since T-Mo is going to discontinue the line. I got an "as-is" unit for cheap on eBay thinking that I might be able to resurrect it. That begins my education process :D

If it is indeed a bad eMMC memory, is it possible to replace it? I'm not adverse to breaking out the soldering iron, just need clear instructions. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] asunp:
Woohoo.. after getting stuck for a while, I decided to try fastboot flash zip every single PC10IMG.zip I've got. I think this one finally works for me: PC10IMG_Vision_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.13.531.8_Radio_12.52.60.25_26.08.04.30_M3_release_188635_signed.zip

Thanks for all your help guys. Now how to root this thing after upgrade to gingerbread with S-ON and SHIP Hboot. :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
You have to downgrade to the 1.19 rom to root it.

There's a guide here

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] asunp:
I read through the guide and have a little question that's nagging me. Since fre3vo can get you temp root, why do I have to downgrade first? Can't I continue running gfree and the gang to get root, SIM unlock, S-Off etc, after obtaining temp root? Previously, I used psneuter to gain temp root and proceed to use gfree etc. Is there any reason why it won't work this time?
[G2 and Desire Z General] nonione:
ahhh very nice, i was looking for a sensation like that as well but couldnt find one :( had to go the broken digitizer way lol but got myself a nice deal :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
Gfree will not work on the gingerbread releases.

You need temp-root to run gfree, but gfree itself uses another exploit in the kernel and radio to powercycle the emmc to remove the write protect.

So you need to downgrade to an exploitable radio/kernel combo.

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] asunp:
This phone is throwing more curveballs than I expected. Suddenly the SD card slot doesn't work, so I swapped the board with my current G2 and manage to downgrade from Gingerbread to Froyo.

After booting into froyo, for some reason USB debugging won't start. Whenever I plug in USB, it'll just charge and won't even mount as USB storage nor the USB debugging. :eek: At least I got about 2 days of education out of this lemon :D

I was developer unlocked on Nodo and after the Mango update I got locked again (that is easy u just re-unlock), but app limit has been lowered again so I cannot sideload any app (and Max apps that would remove the app limit) :( Any solution??

EDIT: I was forced to go back to NoDo back via Zune to Interop Unlock (I couldn't in Mngo, as I couldn't install any app). Then reupdated to Mango, this time the firmware amd diagnosis app were not updated, actually they got downgraded to the versions before my 1st update attempt (strangely though as when I reverted back to NoDo the updated fw/radio/bl remained). I tried to force via Zune the OEM update, but did not come up, so I followed this http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2011...paign=Feed:+Mobiletechworld+(MobileTechWorld) to update the firmware manually. Diagnosis was updated as well to 0628.

[Omnia 7 General] chemeng:
Yes but what do you do if you have >10 installed apps? Cause MaxApp limit gets back with the update to Mango. You either uninstall till u get to less than 10 apps, or hardreset or revert back to NoDo and pass unlock.xml to the device and then reupdate to Mango.

In my case everything went ok. It takes a lot of time, almost 30 minutes. You should also close Zune before making the choice to send the cab.

Obviously you have a crap router. I'm 30 feet from mine right now and I have full bars.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] blackwrx02:
Helpful....

and really, 30 feet? that's not exactly far.....

Its not the router, it is the phone. Mine, though it will remember the networks I use, will NEVER reconnect to one when its in range. Signal strength is also an issue. All previous phones I've had have been able to get at least 2 bars of wifi signal at the other end of our house, but the Infuse just can't do it. Drops to the very least signal indicator on the display and will not pull any data.

I've had a bit better luck with Infused 1.6, but it may just be in my head as I don't think that it actually changes anything in the software for wifi over the stock ROM.

There are a LOT of posts about this and there doesn't seem to be an answer (at least that I have been able to find) to it or any work-arounds. This is really my only complaint with the phone, the wifi is absolute garbage. Some have said that its because the phone only does b/g and not N, so if you have N and you can set it to B or G that may be better.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TOA Duck:
Well from 30 feet away you should have full bars.

But at the op, I know what you mean about wifi signal. I learned though that even though it shows low bars, my speed was still good.

On the other hand, for some odd reason the miui rom made my wifi signal better. I went from about 16 mbs down to 23 down. Maybe a coincidence, I dunno.
