[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
This tutorial is already there in the forum. I would recommend to search the forum before starting a new thread.

Lets keep our forum clean.

ben_pyett is right edit it accordingly in your post. And its "boot loop" not "bootloop".
[HTC Desire S] blindndumb:
Thanks for the info.. I will update it
[HTC Desire S] blindndumb:
Huh:mad: I searched for this kind of thread, but didnt found anything useful

So I treied to make this guide so that anyone other than me should not be trapped in such Situation

Any ways thanks for info
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Thanks for this Guide.

I like the TIPS section. It really can spare you a lot of troubles.

Q1: why to keep a Recovery image? It is not used in the described procedures.

Q2: please explain why we have to remove the battery cover (Pr.2)

Q3: what is the state of the system after Hboot Factory reset - is the ROM still there or it is necessary to flash again?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
A1) I personally always keep everything loaded on my phone on the SD, including a clean nandroid backup, because you never know!

A2) ??? not sure of this either......was it so that you can possibly remove battery slightly quicker?

A3) As far as I believe Factory Reset simply formats - DATA and CACHE, returning the phone to the state that you bought it, of course assuming you have a working ROM and BOOT loaded!
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
A1) Agree, maybe he added it lately but it's used ;)

A2) Also don't know, but you could be on the right track, I unfortunatly done this before cause I forgot wiping before flashing and the rom i used startet an reboot script after flashing, also fastboot where enabled by default and no pc in sight^^ So I pulled off the cover restartet with vol+ vol- power und pulled the battery within the small delay of shutdown and boot^^

A3) Agree, factory reset within the bootloader does the same as factory reset within the recovery
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
OK Thanks. Q2 and Q3 are clear now :)

A1) then it has to be written "Recovery BACKUP " not a "Recovery" (recovery.img) because this is double meaning and a bit confusing
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Did you mean this?

Cause I can't find the words recovery image, sry^^

But anyway your right, backup would be much clearer then recovery.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Yes my bad. Edited the previous post. But since most of us here are not a native English speakers it is good to be specific.
[HTC Desire S] blindndumb:
Changed to backup instead of recovery

My mistake , actually as soon as I got out of boot loop , i wrote the guide in no time

Anyways , Can you list all my mistakes instead of pointing one at a time:mad:
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Take it easy your guide is great :)
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Considering you would so easily rip out the battery I doubt you have any patience, but everytime I have been caught in a bootloop I have reset using vol up down power, waited for the phone to appear in device manager, then executed adv reboot bootloader, everytime without fail.
[HTC Desire S] blindndumb:
May be I have done something wrong but as far as I know in my case after boot loop I pressed Vol+ , Vol- and power then phone automatic restarted. I checked adb but no luck

next time did the same as you mentioned but error: device not found

So I took out upper battery cover and then orange light flashed up, my device was detected and adb helped rebooting into recovery

Then i flashed htc kernel as boot loop met due to flashing hyperion kernel
[HTC Desire S] fatfingers73:
Ok, I think I've buggered my DS. Did s-off then root then installed cyanogen stable 7.

Now it's just looping, I didn't make a back up (NOOB), am I screwed?

Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Have you tried holding Volume down in an attempt to get into recovery? if not then power off, hold in volume down and then power on.

sounds like you missed wiping cache or dalvik cache post/pre install.
[HTC Desire S] fatfingers73:
Ok, got it working.

Had to remove battery to get to recovery mode, then wiped user data, then reboot and it went straight to cyanogen.

I'm a bit worried I don't have a back up of the original HTC rom. Can I get this from anywhere else?

Cheers.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You can flash a stock RUU, but why would you want to go back? only to return the device under warranty....which by S-OFF'ing you've probably lost as an option anyway!
[HTC Desire S] fatfingers73:
I don't, just wondered.

Been fiddling with overclocking app (can't leave things alone!!).

Set at 1.3 I get a quadrant score of 2800. Should this be stable?

Thanks for your help.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Stable yes, it's stable up to 1.5, but i wouldn't take more than 1.2, cause it's not known yet if it shortens the lifetime of your device.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
plus will increase the battery consumption and therefore decrease the run time of the device per charge!
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkeee:
Hey folks,

This issue has been causing me a lot of trouble lately, but I may have found a fix. It does appear that the lcd density contributes to this error that prevents us from downloading a lot of apps.

Some mentioned that it was an issue with the lcd density.

What finally worked was setting the density back to 240, rebooting and then clearing the market data/cache from the manage applications dialog. This is the first time I tried the combination in this order, and I hope this helps anyone else struggling with this issue.

I will play around tomorrow to see if I am able to set it back to 200. Perhaps clearing the market cache while using an incompatible density caused this error in the first place.
[G2 and Desire Z General] oVeRdOsE.:
I had this problem

One of the solution is to get back with the old market.

The other one is to get the apps from 4shared .com

I have a other bug with the new market, it only shows 49 app under each categories ( top paid app, top free app, etc)
[G2 and Desire Z General] buru898:
All you have to do is change lcd density to stock and reboot. No need to clear chache or change anything else. It's bothersome but an easy workaround... sometimes clear cache/data too lol had to do that once or twice.
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkeee:
I have been using the default density for weeks now and gave up thinking it was the lcd density to blame. The market consistently gave me that same error until I finally cleared its cache.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EfemaN:
Man... and I've been sitting here wracking my brain over what could be keeping me from updating and installing... I hope there's a permanent fix. I can't stand the stock density...

EDIT: Aww man! It still won't work! I changed the density to 240, killed market and its cache, restarted, same message. I even tried changing the device name back to "T-Mobile G2" in build.prop, but no go. :( I removed the updates and went back to the old market.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Heck, I get that error on Market 3.1.6 no matter what on certain apps. I never even touch the lcd density... the only way to fix is to wipe market cache and reinstall 3.1.5 or below. You could delete the marketupdater.apk but that has been known to break stuff. To be safe, you could freeze it or screw up th permissions.
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkeee:
Try changing density to 240, then reboot, then clear market data/cache. It only worked for me in that order, because the market does not rely on the build.prop file itself. If you're already at 240 and rebooted, try to clear your market/data cache again.

If it doesn't work despite that, what market version are you using? I have 3.1.5 running, and here is my build.prop. Feel free to chop it up. Keep in mind you must reboot the phone with the new build.prop saved before clearing the market data.

I highly advise that you back up your existing build.prop before editing it, or your phone may not survive the restart.

If you have trouble editing the build.prop, remember you need to remount the system folder as read/write. I set this script to run with Gscript Lite so I can do it using a shortcut.

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 /system

chmod 777 /system/build.prop
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
The build.prop reminded me of something.... There was someone a few weeks ago saying that they stopped the error and was able to keep market 3.1.6 by editing the build.prop. they basically changed it so that it identified the device differently. It was copied straight from the stock tmobile G2 GB build.prop. I posted the info from the build.prop but not sure were that thread is... let me look for it.

Oh... here it is. Let us know if it works. I've gotten 3.1.5 to stick for a while so I haven't messed with it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1269032
[G2 and Desire Z General] EfemaN:
I tried the method in that thread; neither the lines listed there, or the ones in funkeee's build.prop solved it. I changed the values, saved, restarted, cleared Market data, but it still brings the error. I'm on 3.1.5.

I can't go back to using the phone in stock density, I really hope we can find a fix...
[G2 and Desire Z General] OneUp03:
I went back to the old market (green and white) don't remember which version it is though. I then changed permissions on marketupdater.apk(in sys/apps) to 400 which prevents it from updating. The old market has never bugged me about incompatibility.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dirtybudha:
Work around

I noticed this issue with google earth, and I'm running a 2.3.5 ROM. I just waited for another app to show an update in the new market, then said to update all. No issues.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EfemaN:
That's the basic workaround, at least right now. I just froze the updater through Titanium Backup and all is well. I like the new market though :(

That didn't work out for me. I actually first noticed it when I went to "Update All", and the Swiftkey update I knew existed wasn't showing on the list. I searched for it manually and it gave me the error.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] pagz99:
I put Windows Phone 7 on my HD2 last week, and I swear while I was setting it all up there was an option to show or not show SIM messages when looking in Messaging.

However now I am using the phone regularly I can't find it any more! Every time I reboot the phone, the SIM messages are loaded higher up the list than my actual text messages which is really frustrating because it makes it hard to see my current conversations.

Does anyone know where the setting to stop it showing SIM messages is?

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Robbie P:
Try deleting one of them, and if it is not deleted from the sim, the check box might appear again on next reboot. Else delete what you don't need;)

Interesting that you can import messages from sim but not save to sim, how many messages are there?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] malsehn:
i think what you've seen whilst setting up the phone was the message "import sim contacts now" ;) and not sim sms... there's no setting about that in wp7 afaik
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] pagz99:
I think there are about 20 or so SIM messages. I deleted one and it went away, but didn't give me any more options to delete any others and the rest of the SIM messages are still there.

Obviously I could just delete them all but I find it annoying there is not the option to just hide them from the messaging view or something.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] WizardBGR:
So do I... did you solve it anyway?
[Nook Color General] wonderbread51:
Hey folks, hopefully this is a very simple issue.

I'm running 1.3 MN on stock BN with Dal's OC kernel, and everything's working great.

Except one little, annoying thing.

My homescreen (Zeam) and related views won't rotate to landscape. Apps rotate fine, the browser goes, etc etc. Just not the home screen. And yes, the auto-rotate setting is checked.

Anyone else? My 1.2 setup worked just fine.
[Nook Color General] arda99:
Did you enable "Sensor Rotation" option in zeam?
[Nook Color General] wonderbread51:

Hi,

Does GT-P7500 have a flash counter?

If it does, is there a way to reset it?

I really would like to root my tab :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
Yes it does, but mine is still 0 and i'm rooted. It seems it counts only if you install unofficial rom with odin.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marsupilami:
What would be best way to do it, that the counter stays zero?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
I updated to KI1 using Odin and then applied the root.zip (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1171089) using recovery menu.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fsckedagain:
Sorry for the noob question, but what is the flash counter for?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
It counts how many times you have flashed unofficial software on your device. If the count is higher then 0 then Samsung will probably refuse to repair it under warranty.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marsupilami:
Rooted :-)

I needed to run the odin at administrator rights...

Now need to learn how to install custom roms :-)

Thx :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
Just make sure you don't flash custom roms with odin.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marsupilami:
Is there a way to install custom rom whitout that the couter starts to count, or is there a way to reset the counter, thx :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceTrader:

*uses necromancer skill to revive dead thread*

hey guys,

since i was disappointed twice by the asus transformer prime, i'm thinking about getting a galaxy tab.

i really wanna use custom roms and kernels.. so, can someone please clarify the following things:

1. is there any way to reset the custom counter like you can on the sgs2?

2. do CWM flashes affect the custom counter or not?

thanks in advance!

counter ?? hmmm

a good piece of info....need it badly how to find the counter
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coffeebeans:
On my GT-P7510 there is a counter that can be seen in the text in downloading mode. Flashing CWM and installing ROMs through CWM does not seem to affect it, mine is still at 0.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panos_dm:
Ok, if I flash cwm the counter will stay zero...If I however flash back to stock recovery then what? I have read that the counter only increases if a custom kernel, not rom, is flashed. So does flashing stock rom (including STOCK kernel), from samfirmware.com affect the counter? Hope someone with more knowledge than me sees this. Thanks!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cejot88:
i just searched for reseting counter, too.

But its right, it seems not to count. I had installed various Custom Roms via Odin and the Counter still says Original Samsung and also is still zero.

you can find the counter when entering Downloading mode (Power+VolumeDown and than choose Download)

So....who else here doesn't feel comfortable with anyone else holding their device?

Like when someone asks to use your phone, or when a friend sees you playing a cool game and he says, oh can i see? And when you say no, you get that "why don't you trust me look?"

I go to a friends house, and they have a son who always was able to use his dads evo to play games, so when I go over to his house, he wants to touch and play with my phone, but I don't let him lol. But his mom was like, oh he won't drop it! and seemed to get a little offended by this.

It's not that I don't trust anyone with my phone, it's just that I don't trust anyone with my phone.

So, that about sums it up. This phone is my baby, and I just don't trust anyone else to hold it!

The end.

Thanks for reading :D

I guess it depends on the person if they only have experience in a feature phone I will dial the number and hand it to them if they're into rooting and hacking and etc I give them a little freedom because the first thing I do when handed a phone is start looking at what they are running and what kind if set up they have goin on and for those who like to look at your photos and texts don't let them in your bathroom cause you know they are looking in your medicine cabnet
