[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omgadroid:
I was just fiddling around with my rom I'm working on based on çm7.

And the thought occurred to me has anyone built a kernal that was made Only for the evolution to provide the most optimal settings battery life and performance with out all the other stuff for supporting other devices

I would take this idea into my own hands but I don't personally know enough

Whelps just a idea for someone to test
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
SavagedZen started out as an EVO-only project. They compiled AOSP themselves and built a kernel for the EVO. Even though they grew to different phones their primary phone was the EVO. They have their own ROM with their kernel baked in.

Not sure about SalvageMod. I think it was compiled from AOSP and built by Lithid and Barnacles for the EVO originally. So pairing it with the SavagedZen kernel would make a nice pair for the EVO.

When I say compiled from AOSP, I mean AOSP source, not Cyanogenmod.

All,

I just performed a Hard Reset afterI bricked my SGT using Supercharger and to my surprise all the data from internal storage was erased too. How stupid is that?

Samsung could have been smarter and prevented that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DT3CH:
Well thats what a hard reset is, otherwise its called a soft reset.....

This isnt something new
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Szadzik:
I am not talking about the ROM memory, of course it is cleared and the ROM is reloaded, how stupid do you think I am?

I was talking about the memory that you use for storing data. I had my Music and apks on the Tab's \sdcard and all is gone after a hard reset - this is total stupidity on Samsung's side.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DT3CH:
Well ya since it only has 1 internal card for storage, what do you expect, on a phone its not as much of an issue since you generally have an external SD card too....

Its the same as formatting a partition on your computer, so same thinking applies, back up your data elsewhere
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drpbody:
Ya. Wouldn't you use the hard reset function to wipe the device before giving it away or sending it in for repair or something. I would expect that so that data didn't get into someone else's hands.

Not to mention when you choose factory data reset it tells you that it will erase all data including accounts, music, etc...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qsec:
The main thing here is that Honeycomb devices does not have a real fat32 formatted sdcard partition. The sdcard is emulated from a part of the /data partition that is in ext4 if i understand correct.

This is also why it mounts as a MTP device instead of a drive in Windows.

I was also suprised the first time i did a factory reset, i was used to my old Galaxy S phone and there the sdcard was never wiped with a factory reset.

/qsec
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Szadzik:
Exactly what Iwas thinking as previously memory was never cleared on my Android devices, just the ROM. This is totally stupid. Now I have to carry a card reader and an SD card with my stuff so that if I have to do a hard reset on the go I can restore it from the card - stupid again. Some will say use dropbox, and I will say: Have you ever tried downloading 200MB when roaming? DO you have a wallet that fat?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokpog:
I'm pretty sure that in cwm recovery the "sdcard" won't be erased when doing a factory reset. Only the stock recovery will delete your "sdcard". I too had to wipe after flashing some mod and my /sdcard wasn't touched when I remember correctly.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Szadzik:
Thanks, I have to try that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DT3CH:
Uhhh anytime Ive done a hard reset on my SGS, it wipes the internal card....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] relaxxer:
Yes for my understanding the stock recovery will erase everything instead of using the cwm recovery.this would never touch your sdcard. Regards

So far I'm pretty satisfied with both performance and batterylife (Just amazing compared to my old HTC Desire!) though I sure wouldn't mind getting rid of all the Rogers bloatware.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSoNiCcRaCkErSx:
Hi all,

I am trying to get fastboot to work on Mac OS X with my Xperia Play. I can't seem to get it to recognize my device at all.

It works fine in Windows when using fastboot on my other computer. (I have gotten it to work this way) ADB works in OS X for me and sees the device just fine. It's just whenever I try to use fastboot it never will see the device.

Here is some interesting findings. The device is connected and in fastboot mode (the led is blue) and OS X seems to see it. Issuing 'system_profiler SPUSBDataType' in terminal gives me the following:

USB High-Speed Bus:

Host Controller Location: Built-in USB
Host Controller Driver: AppleUSBEHCI
PCI Device ID: 0x283a
PCI Revision ID: 0x0003
PCI Vendor ID: 0x8086
Bus Number: 0xfa

S1Boot Fastboot:

Product ID: 0x0dde
Vendor ID: 0x0fce (Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB)
Version: 1.00
Serial Number: CB5A1GD1EX&ZLP
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB
Location ID: 0xfa200000 / 2
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 0

Whenever I issue 'fastboot devices' it yields nothing. If I start the phone up normally and issue 'adb devices' I get the device readout fine.

Has anyone else had this issue or ran into such problems? I feel like I might be overlooking something. Please excuse my ignorance on the subject. This all is still very new for me, as this is my first android device and I just got the phone over the past weekend.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bori1030:
you are not alone bro and I'm not new to android have rooted everything ive had. some were tricky but this damn xperia is kicking my a$$.. im on windows 7
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSoNiCcRaCkErSx:
Thanks bori!

I did some extensive research on the issue and it seems a lot of people are also having the same issue on all platforms. From what I found the issue seems to fix itself on Windows by installing the google_usb and fastboot drivers. On linux it seems the issue is in adding the device's vendorID to the udev configuration. For Mac it is just suppose to 'work'. Sometimes these fixes work, sometimes they don't. For everyone with the issue for OS X though, not a single one had a solution or a person that got it working unfortunately.

It seems to be a very tricky device indeed.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cat_On_Droid:
if your on Win7 like me its piss easy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRH3pC7MhEA

you shouldnt have any qs after the video. The only thing you do is hold the search button for Fastboot blue led mode
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyvau:
I don't know if you are still trying to do this or not, but I just stumbled upon this thread while doing some research of my own. I am running 10.6.6 and say, for example, if I want to boot the CWM that is listed in the developer forum, all I have to type is "fastboot-mac -i 0xfce boot recoveryPLAY.img" Just make sure that your phone is in fastboot mode. Power off the device and while holding the search button plug in your USB cable. The LED should be blue. If you notice the 0xfce is the vendor id for the phone. Adding the -i 0xfce works for any of fastboot's commands, ie fastboot-mac -i 0xfce flashall, etc
[Streak 5 General] teaganravetta:
Hiya all, I am quite desperate for help, I consider myself intermediate when it comes to dealing with android devices but I am well and truly stumped on this one.

I received a second hand streak from eBay yesterday, turned on first time and booted fine, running Steakdroid 1.9.0 by DJ Steve. I had a few issues with it reboot randomly or crashing, as it had Streakmod Recovery installed I did a full wipe all areas, reinstalled the Rom 1.9.0 and bit a factory reset on reboot from the Dell recovery menu.

All the device does now is reboot in bootloop on the dell logo it stall when it goes as far as booting or trying to load the Rom.

I ran the test in fastboot to test the internal drive as this is known to fail and both that and my SD memory passed the test.

I used fastboot and CMD to flash 4399 recovery image the OEM recovery image for the Rom Streak_104_4399_21.pkg I renamed this to update.pkg and rebooted the device into recovery where I then went to restore the original firmware (1.6) but as soon as I pressed the camera button to proceed I was greeted with a lovely black screen.

I left the device for about 2 minutes where it reset itself and just keep rebooting on the dell logo the restore did not seem to work, just to check fastboot and CMD was working as it should I went to reinstall the Streakmod Recovery image and sure enough it worked I managed to boot the device back into streakmod.

Unfortunately every time I try to install a custom rom they just do not seem to load the device simply stalls on the Dell logo because I cant seem to restore the original recovery image for the stock rom I cannot factory restore and nor will any custom rom boot.

All I have is access to fastboot and Streakmod recovery aaaah!!

If anyone can help me in the slightest I would well very, very, very much appreciate it!
[Streak 5 General] (InsertNameHere):
As you have fastboot working, go to the wiki and download the recovery.img for the latest 360 rom, put the corresponding rom on your sd card named update.pkg and try to do a recovery by powering on device holding down volume up and down.

Flash then do a factory reset and you should be fine.

Streakmod is a great tool for flashing custom roms, not too many problems using custom roms, but you must use Streakmod with care, never use the factory reset option from within streakmod itself, this can render your phone a brick.
[Streak 5 General] teaganravetta:
Thanks for the reply here's my progress so far:

Flashed recovery image and loaded rom to SD card..... Booted into dell recovery and this is what happened

Finding update package

Opening update package

Verifying update package

Yellow bar 25%ish at this point

flashing lights

Installing Update

33%ish lights flash again

Yellow bar jumps 3/4 then fills screen, streaks screen goes blank/ off

Doesn't reboot/ cant turn on so I remove battery and switch back on and I am back to Dell logo then I get a picture of an android and another small progress bar that slowly fills and the device and it again reboots

Streak reboots again about 3 times like it is stuck in bootloop, I leave it and keep my fingers crossed I then get an animation of the Dell logo and glowing lights behind it.

Keep fingers crossed and sure enough it boots into the lock screen, I go to unlock it but it freezes and I get the flashing lights syndrome and the screen goes blank

Remove battery and switch on again, dell logo bootloop after about 8 or 9 bootloops it boots back up into the ROM above but then crashes once again...

Is it fair to say this streak has given up the ghost?
[Streak 5 General] (InsertNameHere):
Flashing lights could mean baseband mismatch.

Try again, but be certain to use the correct recovery.img for the rom you are flashing, get the 351, 354 or 360 recovery.img that matches your choice of rom.

Make sure there is only 1 update.pkg on your microsd card, the one you want to flash, move all others, rename them or delete them. The Dell recovery always looks for update.pkg, nothing else.

Flashing lights could be something more major, but i still think its a baseband mismatch.
[Streak 5 General] teaganravetta:
Honestly thats what I wanted to hear but what worries me is I downloaded the recovery and image from Wiki both relating to 360 will try flashing again I really do hope it can be fixed! Seems today is not a good day for me today many things going up the creek!
[Streak 5 General] (InsertNameHere):
I am 75% certain if you flash it with the right update.pkg, that is a renamed 360 pkg you downloaded, you will have success.
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
When you flashed Streak_104_4399_21.pkg you were trying to revert to Android 1.6.

You may have to use the QDLTool to fix the Streak. I am not sure what problems trying an 1.6 build over an Android 2.2 build can cause. You may want to wait for some more feedback.

Start here for more info and try the links in my signature.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
I dont believe you can downgrade directly from 2.2.x -> 1.6.

2.2.x -> 2.1 -> 1.6 might work but why are you doing this in the first place?

Just directly install 360 or the like
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
teaganravetta,

Does this sum up your situation?

1) you bought a used phone and it had StreakDroid 1.9.0 on it

2) because of issues with SD 1.9.0, you tried to flash Streak_104_4399_21.pkg, not realizing that SD is based on a newer stock rom

3) you then tried flashing bb 360

3) Now you are having issues with boot loops and phone won't boot?
[Streak 5 General] teaganravetta:
Yes thats exactly what happened and in that exact order I am guessing this means the worse, am going to try for the 3rd time now reflashing 360 so fingers crossed
[Streak 5 General] lordmorphous:
I'm not going to tell you anything different than anyone else, however I am going to give you links to the exact files you need so there is no confusion.

Download this:

http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/360/recovery.img

This is the recovery image for 360. Save it in the folder on your computer that has fastboot.

Now download this:

http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Streak_360_17397_00.pkg

Rename this to Update.pkg and place in the root of your SD Card. (ensure there is no other Update.pkg on your card)

Power off the phone, if not done already.

Hold the power and camera button down until you get a white screen. Click on fastboot on your phone. Wait 10 seconds.

Plug it into your computer with the usb cable.

Wait for it to say fastboot ready (or something similar).

Now flash the recovery.img using the following command (This command assumes a Windows PC):

fastboot.exe -i 0x413 flash recovery recovery.img

When both your computer and the phone says it was successful, complete, or whatever, pull the battery.

Replace the battery, hold both volume buttons along with the power button.

In the menu that opens, choose the second option. Let us know your results.

I only added this post in case their was confusion over which files were actually needed. No need for a separate baseband, dsp1, or anything else. These are all included in the pkg file.
[Streak 5 General] teaganravetta:
many thanks for all the help, so far I have downloaded "QDLTool3rd_20101022_GAUSB1A130500" turned off driver signing as I am x64 all ADB drivers fine and COM ports okay have restored via this tool according to the log successfully.

Phone rebooted a few times it has paused on the Dell logo for a moment but the guide did say anything up to 10minutes for first boot so I am holding for the moment to see if this has cured it otherwise I will report back and re download the above files and try that!

It takes me a while because I am out in the sticks I only have a 60kbps download speed (yikes) I know!!
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
Because your first attempt at flashing a stock ROM was the Android 1.6 version I am not sure you can just flash 360 at this point. I think you have to use the QDLTool (repairtool), but I am not sure. Try searching for the procedures that were used to upgrade from 1.6.

Edit to use the QDLTool:

In this post DL under commonly downloaded tools get Fastboot/ADB utils + drivers for Streak 5/7 and Venue and QDL Tool.

Then download qdltool-tutorial.zip from this page. unzip the tutorial and open it with a browser that supports flash or other flash viewer.

After using the QDLTool let the Streak boot and then flash the 360 recovery file and the 360 ROM. You must not let the phone boot completely after flashing a different recovery or the phone will restore the one that came with the ROM currently on the phone. Read this.

You can find more info about QDLTool by searching. As I said I think that is what you need to do.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beberik:
Hi, I updated to official Mango yesterday, but Marketplace seems not to know about it. I'm still stuck with 7.0 apps, which I wasn't offered to update to their Mango versions. I'm not able to install Mango-only apps such as HTC Connected Media, I'm not getting HTC Attentive Phone update etc...

Is there any solution to force Marketplace to offer me Mango apps? THX
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juzoli:
Look for the app in the marketplace, and you can update it there.

I hope marketplace will offer it automatically for all together soon, so i don't have to do it one by one.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beberik:
Thank you, but that's pretty obious. But it's just a workaround, not a real solution, as I expect that auto-updating via Marketplace won't ever work in the future.

I even tried hr, but Zune did not installed my apps back. So I installed them manually and will wait for any updates - if they come or not.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darthy1980:
I have the same issue, no notification for app updates are showing up after installing Mango (forced with the disconnect trick). I don't know if it's because of the forcing the update or just a general issue. But I definitely have apps installed that have a Mango version available.

What is also annoying & strange is that the Marketplace is still in French (I'm from Belgium) where it should have been in Dutch for me since Mango was released.

If anyone knows the cause / solution I would be very grateful.

Thanks !

No worries ,

Just Download the latest version of flashtool i.e. 3.0.0

Enable USB Debugging on your phone

Enable Unkown Sources on your phone

Install X10 ADB USB drivers (included in the .zip)

In flashtool - Ask root perms and install xrecovery

My SDCARD gets filled with thousands of PicasaImageTempXXXXX.tmp files, I'm guessing it's the cache for the gallery regarding Picasa Online Photos.

How can I move the location of those files to the .temp folder for example, because it's just annoying and taking a lot of time for any file explorer to open the SDCARD.

Any idea, I searched and the only answer I got is just delete them, but they get recreated (duh) every time I start gallery process!
