[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilution.dk:
Hi!

First off, I've been searching for the answer all afternoon, but with no luck.

Here's the thing. My GF borrowed my friends old Desire, because her Legend broke.

When we tried to boot it up, it was stuck at the white HTC screen. So i entered Hboot and tried to use recovery with no luck. Recovery was also stuck at white screen.

My friend had removed his SD card before we borrowed the phone. Could that be the problem? Both me and my friend are pretty new to rooting/flashing. All the info he could give me, was that he was running some Modaco rom, and had used Unrevoked to root the phone.

I tried to download a Modaco rom and rename it PB99IMG.ZIP and putting it at the root of our own SD card. No luck.

Then i tried to put the update.zip (CWM file) with the hope that I could then load recovery. Also no luck.

Also tried to plug in USB cable, so that I could maybe wipe phone and install a new RUU. USB was recognized in Hboot (HBOOT USB PLUG status), but no access gained on the computer. I have manually installed drivers.

My friend lives a bit far away. So is there a way I can solve this without his SD card?

Thanks in advance!

bortak> Awesome guide, will check it out right away! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilution.dk:
Okay, so now i followed bortaks guide. Created a gold card, downloaded latest recommended RUU, and then ran it while connected with fastboot usb.

At first i had problems when the RUU rebooted the bootloader. The phone shut down and disconnected instead of rebooting. Tried a few times, and finally got the installation to move on by keeping the phone "alive" through pressing vol buttons -although with a black screen.

But by 29%, while updating radio, the installation froze. After some time i unplugged USB and let the installation fail. So now I'm stuck with the four triangles with exclamation marks. I can run the RUU again and again, but it keeps freezing at various stages of installation.

What to do? It's not bricked, so there must be hope? :confused:

Can I take a different approach? Through ADB perhaps?

Thanks again! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilution.dk:
RUU installation keeps freezing on my pc! Tried to click vol button to perhaps keep the phone "alive", but then I got error 155 :(

Can't seem to find anything on Google about RUU installs that freezes - do any of you know what to do? Can't I use ADB or anything to flash the ROM?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliottg61:
oooh dear you shouldnt have disconnected it whist it was updating the radio.

i fear you may now have a radio brick :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilution.dk:
So I can have bricked the radio - but the phone will still respond?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
unfortunately yes, if you unplug the phone and turn it on, it should boot in RUU mode, at what point does it say FAIL! ?

if it is on the radio, then I'm afraid it's bricked.. if you managed to luck out somehow and it isn't, then you could try again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilution.dk:
When i turn it on, the black splash screen with exclamation marks comes on. If i try to turn it on with usb cable plugged in while running XP mode on virtual machine, i see the white screen with version informations. But it only says RUU with an orange background.

Tried to install the new Gingerbread RUU from the HTC hp, but it still freezes. Think I'm out of luck :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
hmm... stick your phone in the freezer (in a plastic bag) for 5-10 minutes then try again.

I know it may sound strange.. but it may be overheating or something.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliottg61:
Whoever you borrowed this from will not be happy haha
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voodooboy3000:
Which RUU are you trying to install?

I had the same issue when I realised I was trying to install a 2.1 RUU on my desire which was a bit silly, I had identical problems. used the correct 2.2 RUU and all ok
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilution.dk:
voodooboy3000 - Was trying to install official 2.3 Gingerbread RUU.

elliottg61 - It was crashing all the time when he had it, so he said i could have it if I could fix it. I couldn't :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voodooboy3000:
I would give the original firmware a go and get it back to stock. was it originally locked to a specific provider? if not use this RUU

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikedavis120:
Your not even s-off. How did he use anything to root. Granted my experience is with the bravoC. The GSM I'm sure is different. I would find the newest ruu available and try to flash that from hboot. If it takes forever go away. Don't touch it. Don't unplug it. Don't do anything till its done. If it wont flash after 30 minutes your screwed I think. U can try it over again. But if u have an official ruu it should flash no problem. If it gonna flash.

Try flashing a shooter port on the og evo, or flash a rom on the shooter. It can seem to hang on you for a while but it just takes time.

Edit: try this just rename it and stick on root of SD card and boot phone with volume down and power and then leave it be.

Hy!

I have a same problem... I tried a lot of thing, but... If in your Service Menu it say "Bootloader unlock allowed: No", you can't do anything.

Every method need to boot Fastboot mode. If your phone is branded, and not allowed to unlock bootloader, you cannot start the Fastboot mode... Now.

i would like to know how to bypass bell internet settings and use omnia II strictly as streaming media player on my home wifi. Whenever i try to access my browser it tries to go through Bell(canadian cell company). I would like to browse the internet through my own WAP.

I have parted ways with bell, but i'm cheap and don't like throwing away phones. If it can be used for anything other than a paper weight, i'm willing to try.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] andoruB:
For some reason, I have tried to flash a different rom on my Milestone and now it's not working properly anymore. Most of the apps malfunction, especially the ICS Launcher. Whenever I want to start the Market, it crashes ICS (reporting: "The application Ice Cream Sandwich 2.4 (process mobile.SyndicateApps.ICS) has stopped unexpectedly please try again"); nothing installs from the Market in the android browser; I can't back up my data from the previous ROM (due to not being able to install the specific application for that task from the market), I can't sync with google (says "Unable to open connection to server"), music player always stops when I multitask, and as a cherry on top, now I can't access recovery mode. Whenever I try to do that it quickly flashes two images, first the one with the exclamation mark in triangle, then the scond I can't identify, then the phone simply shuts off. What should I do now? The patching and update went just fine. The changelog of the CyanogenMOD says "iceandfire-v3.2-Milestone", but I'm not sure of the version of the mod itself. What can I do to work around this issue or where could I have gone wrong? The rom works very well and I was surprised of the features it's offers and the speed of it compared to the stock ROM of the phone, but it's just the above problems that makes the phone almost unusable.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I followed this video and installed the ROM that was suggested in the video comments here: v=63FVDF_V5PI (add youtube.com/watch? in front)

The only thing is that in the video the guy mentions Android 2.3.3 and my phone reports 2.3.5 instead.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
Try wiping the cache for the Market, change the language of the phone something like English(Canada) and try again. If that doesn't work, do a full wipe and flash again.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] andoruB:
I tried switching the language from British to Canadian to American and then ultimately to German (which was automatically set to the first time I booted on the custom rom, I live in Germany) and that didn't budge it. I can't clear the market's cache since it doesn't show up in the apps. How could I wipe the phone and re-flash if I can't even get to the recovery panel? (please fully read the thread)

I've read somewhere that I need to flash Google Apps in order to Google's services to work (like Sync and the Market for example), and I am able to do that with ClockworkMod, but the only problem is that whenever I try to flash ClockworkMOD recovery and to boot to flash Google Apps in turn, I hit myself again with the recovery panel not being accessible.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
The Market app is under Applications > All. It will be there just above Market Updater.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] andoruB:
My bad, I haven't made myself clear last time, I've looked in the "All" tab before, but it's not there. But now that I look all that resembles closely is "Market Apps Installer", and has the same icon as CyanogenMod and when I enter it's panel, I only have the option to move the app to the SD card. Still, what should I do with the recovery panel issue? It's the issue that stops me from fixing things.

You have a lot of reading to do. Go to the development section.
[Motorola Photon 4G] whitetiger2429:
I know theres alot on the section part i just need to know which method works for this version.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
I think you can run the bootloader from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216143

Flash it in RSDlite. It will fail, but don't panic. Pull the battery, and run the moto-fastboot command lines to verify that you've been unlocked. You can then root either via the photon-torpedo method, or AIO root method.

Good luck, and remember to charge your phone all the way!

Best,

[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
No, there is not yet a fully functional unlocker. There's one that mostly works but it breaks 4G.

You can root it just fine, though, without unlocking it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Good point..yes I did forget to mention that 4G is borked.
[Motorola Photon 4G] whitetiger2429:
So you can root it without unlocking it i really dont care about 4g its not in the area im in
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Yeah, you can root without unlocking. There are a few ways..I personally like the one click and photon torpedo methods.
[Motorola Photon 4G] whitetiger2429:
So the one click will allow you to install roms and all and do you have the link for that form i gotta get all this blur crap of my phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
For roms u need a bootloader
[Motorola Photon 4G] whitetiger2429:
Ok so i have to unlock the bootloader then root or can i root and install cwm to flash roms
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Yeah if you want custom roms, you'll need to unlock the bootloader. It's a really easy process

1) Get RSDlite

2) Get the unlocked bootloader SBF file and flash it

3) Run the cmd lines to check to see if you're unlocked

4) Root and install CWM

5) Flash away!
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
Please read again. The unlocker is what breaks 4G, not root.

Ok whats RSD ive never use that before and do i flash that sbf file from the sd card
[Motorola Photon 4G] whitetiger2429:
Sorry im just trying to find a easy way of rooting and installing roms ive rooted other phones before but im just confused on this one

I need some help!! My nook color (with CM7 on an SD card) will not come back on after the screen turns off. Now this isnt everytime but it happens quite often. It happens whenever the screen automatically turns off or if I press the power button to turn off the screen. Then when I press the n button or the power button to turn the screen back on, it sometimes won't turn on. I press either button multiple times and it won't turn on. I have to hard reboot it. It's very annoying.

Is it going into some sort of sleep mode? Any help is appreciated.
[Nook Color General] joenathane:
Change the wifi sleep policy to turn the wifi off when the screen is off, you can accomplish this by going to the wifi settings, hitting the menu button and then advanced...

I'd also recommend for general usage to install to the emmc and use the latest nightly for best CM7 stability and performance.
[Nook Color General] tiray73:
I'm kinda new to this stuff. Can you tell me how to accomplish the general usage to the emmc? And also how do I update to the newest build? Would I have to rebuild my SD card from scratch?

To install to the emmc just follow this guide(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030227)

You can get the latest nightly here(http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore)

If you just want to update your sd card install all you should have to do is place the latest nightly on the boot partition of your sd card and boot into recovery(start with the nook off, press and hold the "n" button and at the same time press and hold the power button for a good 3-4 seconds, while still holding the "n" button let go of the power button) and the build should update itself.

[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Love Tasker, and did this in Tasker for a while, but Green Power is actually better for this specific task, even if it is yet-another-service.... It'll open up wifi (if you want it to) every N minutes for M minutes to grab email or such, then back off. And it's pretty cheap if you don't already have Tasker.

In reality, I am sure I COULD have Tasker do this too... Set a var, have a every-15-minutes process look to see if the var is set, go online for M minutes, go back offline... But I sometimes find Tasker doing too many things at once makes it get behind.
