I found this by Psouza. He is likely the foremost expert on making things easy as far as unbricking your D3. Rumor has it he has a set of unbrick tools floating around this forum somewhere, though I haven't found it yet. Try in the Development thread, for sure it has to be there somewhere.

Hope this helps.

I also saw that flashing the pre-installs file alone first helped someone. That file borked on me once, but I was able to adb it over and then execute it via adb to get my phone unbricked.

Please let us know what works for you, as all of this is a work in progress right now.

Good luck!
[Motorola Droid 3] macdaddy123:
i don't know to much about adb and are looking for help on pre-installed files. I don't understand what that means or how to go about it? i also cant get past the bootloader screen, "invalid CG version". i can not boot up at all.
[Motorola Droid 3] wattnxt:
How bricked are you? can you boot into CWM? Are you able to boot into tools, or how far can you get?

What version were you running? 5.959 (stock) or 6.890 OTA or Leaked OTA or Soak test (all the same as far as 6.890 goes).
[Motorola Droid 3] macdaddy123:
i can get into boot tools and just tryed another flash got to step 6 till it failed instead of 3.. I'm running stock. Cannot get passed boot tools... scratch all that just tried to flash again just on the off chance it mnight work and i got it. Going to try and re-root and CWN recovery with sdteel froids rom... will keep you in the loop
[Motorola Droid 3] wattnxt:
Awesome!!

Here is the link about the adb commands for preinstall.sh

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17196391&postcount=88

It helped me when I borked my leaked update. I ran into the same problem as limaxray did with too many files in /system. So make sure you clean out any apps you made into system apps before trying the update via the standard update route, and that all stock system apps are in place and properly named.

I had to remove some that updated partially with the leaked update when mine borked. I used the posted system dump to push them to the phone and then the update ran properly and updated them anyhow.

If for some reason re-rooting doesn't work for you. Go to /system/bin and remove su, busybox. Do the same in /system/xbin. For some reason if you already have them in there when you run the process, it will say success but no root after reboot. My 2c as it happened to me. You do not need to remove superuser.apk, but you will have to update it in the market after you re-root.

Congrats!!

I see now too there is a fastboot and moto-fastboot. moto-fastboot has worked for some who had issues from what I've found.

Keep us posted, and smile knowing you've recovered from a bork; none of us got where we are without doing it at least once, so you're in good company.

re-rooted and installed bootstrap, just got steel droid all loaded up and all is good.... thanks for your speedy responses and detailed instructions and links. I realy think all that happened was i took everything aet it sone last time tried to flash and it went threw. All i used was RSD lite and flashed the 8.6.590 fast boot file and after a several retries it went threw. If anyone needs help on this i will post the file links if you need the ones i used :)

Hi,

I have a quick question, I am using the stock email app & I setup Imap. For some reason when I send, reply, etc, my emails always come out with low importance/priority.

Any ideas how to make the Epic emails regular priority by some default setting?

Thanks,

[HTC Sensation] Lysiana:
Hi all,

Sorry, but I have another noob question:

I am about to flash my first ROM, but before I go ahead, can someone clarify if ClockWorkMod backup function backs up my current (stock) ROM?

That is, if I restore from the backup do I just get the user setting back? or back to the original ROM?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

-Lizzie
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
CWM takes a complete snapshot of the ROM as it is at that time - settings, data, the lot. Only thing it doesn't back up is the radio but that can be reflashed if you need to
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
Kind of just want to touch on what Eddy said. It puts all that information in a file. Sort of a reserve that you can always go back to. Everything is exactly the way you left it when you reflash the back up. Great tool to utilize.

The backup files will be stored in your clockworkmod folder on your ad card so you go rename it or whatever you please.

A long press activates vlingo.

they will not pause pandora, mixzing, or the stock music app.

I can't get headphone buttons on beats studios to work either. Like on iPod I know like dbl press skips track etc.. But no go on this out my og epic. I think my HTC hero long tinge ago did work though. It may be the headphone jack doesn't have the proper stuffs for that functionality.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] klub242:
Sadly iOS and Android devices use different wiring layouts for inline remotes than each other, so I've never found one designed for iOS work fully on any Android phone that I've had. Only way I can think of to fix it would be if someone made an app to intercept the remote signals and correct them, kind of like a programmable TV remote.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Blu3Fr0g:
Or an adapter that switched the wiring around appropriately within itself. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
I'm not sure compatibility is an issue here. I had no problems with using my iphone headphones on my nexus one.

Maybe it's a samsung program issue. I noticed that by deactivating vlingo, I got pause functionality back.

Anyone else having issues with battery widgets/monitors not updating? I have tried Battery Solo Widget (which works perfect on Inspire 4g) and Circle Battery Widget. Neither of them seem to update correctly. I let my battery get down to 5%, then plugged it in for 15 minutes and the Circle Battery Widget reported still 5% but the lock screen indicator says 15%. Is there any other "good" battery widgets in a 1X1 widget format that works and updates accurately without killing the battery life?

2. I can't find a solution to have PC share internet connection using wifi. Windows XP only supports ad-hoc and android doesn't.

But the PPP over USB look promising, but haven't seen a solution that uses Windows.

Hi,

First of all: Excuse my bad englisch, it's not my native language.

Second: I know i'm a noob :P But i tried really hard to find an answers to my question but couldn't find one.

My situation:

I live in the Netherlands, and ordered an unbranded phone, but to my surprise, the send me a vodafone branded phone. I could send it back, but it takes them a few weeks to send me the phone back unbranded, so i decided to not do that.

Wat i want to do is to restore my phone to the stock samsung firmware to get rid of the vodafone bullxxxx. I have read this topic and it's understandable. The only thing i don't understand is wich firmware do i need? There is a huge list of firmwares, but i am clueless to wich one is suitable for me.

Is samsung firmware country dependent? Because i live in the netherlands, but my phone is very likely from the uk, because i got an uk like charger with my phone. It looks like this:

I'm not 100% if my phone is from the uk.

So wich firmware should i flash to get my phone to the stock samsung firmware without the vodafone crap?

btw my current firmware regarding to samsung kies is: PDA:KG2/PHONE:KG1/CSC:KE2(VOD)

Summary(if you don't like reading):

I want to flash my phone with the stock firmware from samsung without any branding, but i can't find the right firmware for my phone, can you help me?

thanks

[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
Hey guys,

I have been using the Sprint/GV integration for a while now, and things have been great. Text has been arriving instantly on my computer, where I do most of my text communication. Now I have noticed that ever since Google updated to 0.4.2.36, my texts are delayed to GV's site and GVNotifier. If I open up the text on my phone, it pops up on my computer a few seconds later. If I leave the text unopened, it can sit for hours, or sometimes I'll get another new text 10-20 minutes later, and they will all spill out on my PC.

I believe it has something to do with some new settings and sync methods on the new app. Previously, you had the option of syncing your inbox, and it would even give you a warning about duplicate notifications. Now, that is gone. You simply select, GV-only, or both. Before, I had to disable GV notifcations, (including voicemail.) Now with this change, and sync settings, it's almost as if GV isn't getting my text until my phone syncs it with my GV account. Previously this tended to happen on the back-end, regardless if my phone was online or not. In fact, when I have my phone turned off, texts come through GV/GVNotifier just fine... Not sure what can cause the GV app to do this. I am considering removing it completely, but I like being able to search through my texts.

Has anyone else noticed issues since the new GV app was released?
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
I've experienced something similar...Sometimes, I will get a text on GV(site&app) but it will never come to my phone, and people have gotten angry at me for not replying, but it's not until I check the app or site that I notice I got a text message. This only started happening with the recent update to the GV app.

Another thing that bothers me is the inability to mark all as read from the site/app. Gmail does it..WTF Google? I have over 600 supposedly unread messages sitting on GV that I can't mark all as read. I have to manually go and mark a page at a time (which is around 10) until they're all marked, fail.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
I have to go in daily and mark texts as read... Luckily I spend a lot of time on the website, but it is still annoying.

I too have the same issue with some texts only going to GV.... it's a bit more rare than the other problems, but it has happened about 5 times in the last few weeks. I find myself using the larger GV widget now, and checking it regularly.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
BTW they just redesigned the site so you can select all and mark them read. I just do a label:unread then check 'em all.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
So I just restored GV 0.4.2.32 on my Evo 3D, and all of the sudden my texts are arriving on my computer instantly, and things seem overall more consistent. I can't say for sure this is the fix, but it seems promising. I wish I had a later version, since this is from June.
[HTC EVO 3D] dahauss:
Does anyone have the previous version we can reinstall? Mine is doing the same thing.. Im on the EVO4G.

Someone sent me a text at 8:05 PM last night.. I never received it.. HOWEVER, this morning I received a REGULAR TEXT MESSAGE (not google voice but regular phone text).. as soon as that one came through, so did the google voice text. This same thing has been happening every day for the past month. If I leave the APP OPEN with the phone on, it seems to work, but if not, my google voice texts and notifications seem to only come in when I get a regular text message... I can hear he regular text message notification sound and then right after I hear the google voice notification sound...

I assume if we go back to the previous version it will work again?

Thanks...

My email app is set to check the server every 15 minutes for messages but it is not doing it. The only way I can get email is if I manually push the sync button. What gives?

[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Do you have background data turned on? How about auto sync? What email app are you using? Stock rom?
[LG Thrill 4G] Racing666:
Stock ROM. Phone is only a few days old. Auto Sync is on. Background Data is on. Using the program just called "EMAIL" that was on the phone. I think there is something else going on too. When the phone is idle, and charging with the supplied cord and plug, it takes 8+ hours to charge from 5% to full.
[LG Thrill 4G] Racing666:
The capitalizing problem is an issue with Swype Keyboard. Doesn't happen with other keyboards, only Swype in the stock email program.
[LG Thrill 4G] Racing666:
Could maybe a task manager or app manager be killing the email service?
[LG Thrill 4G] Racing666:
Is there any way to fix the Swype capitalizing problem in the stock email program? I've tried SlideIt and a couple other keyboards.
[Android Themes] digitalhigh:
After spending the past few months customizing my Evo to the nines, I finally came to the final piece of the puzzle needed to match my theme...the Swype keyboard.

So, I stayed up late last night, ripping apart the keyboards and generated some photoshop templates for the current swype version. The output is what I'm simply calling CleanSwype. They're going to be a series of black/colored themes, possibly including requests if I have enough time.

Currently, I have red and white metamorph themes created...but it's also only been a day. :D

I will update the red theme later tonight with the proper color swype buttons, etc.

I will also probably be incorporating glass effects as well so as to better match the upper area.

Any tips on how to change the trace color would be greatly appreciated. ;)
[Android Themes] digitalhigh:
Directions To Apply

(Method borrowed from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1256193 - Thanks Smoochieezz24)

You need the following:

ROOT

Swype Installer and Swype 3.5

Titanium Backup

Metamorph

ZipSigner

A Root-capable file browser. I got sick of screwing around and paid for Root Explorer.

A brain.

1. Navigate to \data\app\ using a root capable file browser and locate com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk. Copy it to root on SD.

2. Go to Metamorph and select "Unzip/Extract New Theme". Navigate to your desired theme and select it.

3. A preview will appear with info. Select. "Apply All".

4. Open ZipSigner.

5. Push the "Choose In/Out" button. Select com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk in the root of your sd card.

6. Your output should now read /sdcard/com.swype.android.inputmethod-1-signed.apk

7. Leave the key mode on "auto-testkey" and Sign The File.

8. Uninstall your current Swype installation. Keep the installer.

9. Install the .apk at com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.signed.apk, Enjoy.

Notes:

You may have to go to "Swype Installer" program and activate before swype will function. I did not have to do this.

To apply a different theme, you have to have a clean com.swype.android...apk to work with. It might be easier for multiple-installs to keep a copy somewhere else on the SDCard.

The themes are looking in SDcard ROOT for the .apk to theme. Anywhere else will not work.

I am working with a clean dictionary, so I can't promise any results with custom words. You should be OK as long as you have a Titanium Backup BEFORE theming anything, then restore data.

Links to needed programs later. You should be able to get everything but the Swype installer straight from market.

Be gentle...it's my first time. ;)

Sure don't. Especially if you factor in that even though the Vibrant is physically very similar to the original SGS, which the Herc is nothing like the other SGSII's, it takes internet smear campaigns to get updates. Forget Samsung; they forgot you minutes after you paid for your Vibrant.
