[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnw:
I'm writing a full guide because otherwise I'll forget how I did it and I might be need it again (this isn't the first time I've lost my sms messages) , plus It might be useful for other people. I used Ubuntu 11.04 Linux. I have no idea how to do this on Windows but if all fails you could just make a Live USB/CD and run it off there.

Boot into recovery and go to 'Backup and restore' then click 'backup'

Once the backup completed, mount the SD card to your computer ('mounts and storage' -> 'mount USB storage')

On your computer make a new folder in your home folder called 'data'.

Open the SD card and navigate to the backup, it should be /clockworkmod/backup/<DATE>.<TIME>/ (<DATE> and <TIME> are the date and time you created the backup, in my case it is 05-10-2011.1813)

Copy the 'data.img' file the data folder you created.

Download a tool called unyaffs from here and copy it to your data folder.

open terminal and type

cd ~/data

chmod +x unyaffs

./unyaffs data.img

Now install what ever rom you want using recovery, (you can and will need to do 'wipe data/factory reset')

Reboot and start the phone up normally.

Connect the USB if you had taken it out. Connection type charge only and make sure USB debug is ticked (Settings -> applications -> Development)

Now you will need to have set up adb for the next part, I used this guide, make sure you complete step 7.

Now push the sms database file back onto the phone using adb

adb push ~/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/

Reset the permissions back to default, I don't know if this is necessary but might as well do it since it doesn't take any time at all.

adb shell chown 1001 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

adb shell chgrp 1001 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

adb shell chmod 660 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

Now reboot your phone and when you open up the messages app they should be all there.

Hi everybody!

I tried downgrading a friend of mine's Desire from Gingerbread to Froyo via official RUU. The problem is that everything is working except the USB connection, but only when the o.s. is running. I can access the hboot and recovery.

The problems are:

- the phone is not rooted and I can't root using unrevoked or revolutionary

- flashing another root doesn't solve the problem (hboot is 0.93 and I can flash only the latest RUU)

- no terminal root access from the phone (obviously)

- Windows can't recognize properly the phone (Qualcomm drivers request)

I followed many guides on this forum and on the web, new and old, but anything worked. Do anyone have any idea?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
there's a section on my guide for that, try it. It's only been

tested

on 2.2 S-OFF but it's worth a try.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexterm1:
Hi!

Does not work for unrootet, S-ON, official GB and HBoot 1.02.

:(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
well the guide gets temproot, and that's the best you can get with usb brick if you're on a stock ROM (if you're on 2.2 anyway) was worth a try though.

try calling htc and get their opinion on this matter and whether they'd fix it for you. Just tell them you did the update and now usb doesn't work (don't call it usb brick, make yourself

sound

like a total retard [not calling you one obviously] who doesn't know what he's doing and they should pity you)

grif_07's cyanogen doesnt have touch to focus camera, compass is buggy, so is FM radio and other stability issues.

i think it's ok if both rom available for Ace, i alreday try CM7 it's great but i never try MIUI so i want to try it on my ACE, but for now i'm gonna stick to CM7
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
who said its perfect? if u look at the cm7 thread title it clearly says BETA

[HTC Sensation] droiddv:
Boy oh boy, I had a really tough few days trying to flash a custom rom. I was pretty heavy into flashing roms from the G1 days until I got my sensation on the day it was released. I then took a long break. Well 2 days ago I decided to Unlock my Bootloader through the HTC website. Everything went well. I did notice the ******UNLOCKED****** in the bootloader I also noticed the S-ON(security was still on). I didn't think this mattered. Was I ever wrong. With that S-On you cannot flash new radio's. I have never been able to flash a PG58IMG.zip file from hboot/fastboot. I can however flash recovery's from fastboot using (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img).

Seems as if every single rom I tried needs the Security-OFF to work correctly. I was able to put clockwork mod 5.0 on my phone, and install super wipe, and several roms, the problem I ran into is I would get a error under the switch for wifi. Wifi would not work on any of the 5 roms I tried before this one. I was wanting to give up and go back to stock for several hours. I tried the RUU to bring me back to build 1.27 and build 1.29 both were unsuccessful. I was stuck at build 1.73.401.2 and no way possible to get back to stock. And picture this living in a area with tmobile that is still using the edge network(2 ****ing g) OMFG I was so mad trying to even boot a new rom without wifi is a nightmare, took me literally 20 minutes to download rom manager. Anyway's this rom was the last one I tried before busting my phone into pieces.

Rom's I tried:

1. Android Revolution 3.6.1, and 4.1 (3.6.1 booted but had no wifi)

2. RCMix 3.5 v04 (bootloop)

3. LeeDroid booted fine (no wifi)

4. I believe there was one other I tried. NO GO

5. Then I flashed this one late last night, and to my surprised it worked.

I was so happy I almost pissed myself.

Oh yeah I tried many irc channels, one was the revolutionary.io irc channel, I was able to successfully run the rev.io tool and it showed as a success however my S-was still ON. I talked to these guys for about 45 minutes looking for other ideas. They pretty much told me I was screwed and that it had never been tested after you unlocked through HTC. And it simply might never work.

Anyway I guess what I am getting at. For anyone else that might have to go through what I did.

1. How in the world can you get you phone back to complete stock?

2. Why is this happening?

3. Why is my wifi not working with any other rom? And everyone else's is?

4. How do I go about getting my S-OFF?

5. Does anyone know if you can RELOCK your bootloader through HTC so that I can turn the SECURITY-OFF and "then" unlock the bootloader.

I probably have more question's. I just wanted to see if I might be able to get a few answers from you fine people. Help me understand what in the world is going on and how many other people are dealing with what I am dealing with.
[HTC Sensation] dlads:
Personally i would just do the normal s-off method as it gives you a little more freedom compared to HTC unlocking method.

My wifi is dead too, but i have no way of fixing it at all, i've got a thread called "wifi is dead" in the q+a section of the sensation forum.

Let me know if you get yours working, i imagine that if you revert your phone back to stock again and then use the alpha rev method that you will have better luck.
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
1. You can Relock your bootloader using HTC site but this time u will see Relocked instead of Locked

2. No idea

3. Did you try resetting your router? Works for me. Also try flashing a different radio.

4. No idea

5. You can relock bootloader on HTC site but have no idea of you can unlock it with Revolutionary again.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Try write secureflag command, just search for.the correct one on xda. Also, try flashing your RUU and then s-offing via revo.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exooodx:
Think I have bricked my Tab - HELP

Just got myself a Tab P1000. I try updating software using Odin3.

I think i have misused the wrong firmware not for P1000 (stupid), when Odin3 is running gonna finish, it showed FAIL! So i disconnected my GT although the download mode still running.....(stupid again) n I manually off my GT by continuing pressing power button wished to reflash by proper firmware.

As i reconnected it to pc again, although i tried to turned it into download mode again from off mode and i failed, Odin still can detect it. As i tried to use proper firmware to flash it, when it gonna finished, it showed FAIL again!

Now the tab screen turned off and it won't turn on. I tried to turn it into download mode or recovery mode but it couldn't be. I think my wrongly flash has made the buttons all mess up their function. All I have is the LED light on permentanly. If I hold the power button for 10 secs, the LED goes off for 3 secs and then comes on again.

Can anyone help me sort this? Any suggestion pls? Urgent!

Thanks a lot!

[Networking] gerbetta33:
hey guys I'm looking to buy a new phone on virgin mobile. I'm using the optimus v, it's good but it's cheap. virgin mobile is offering a Motorola triumph, HTC wildfire s, LG optimus slider, and supposedly the optimus black is coming soon. these are all around 200$ and I have a 30% off coupon for the triumph which makes that 200 as well so money isn't an issue. I am looking for the phone with great build quality, great specs, looks great, has a great screen, high on board storage, and has good roms available for it, or are likely to get good roms. I own a Samsung fascinate that I use as an iPod, and it is very snappy. I would like the phone I buy to be as powerful and have a good screen like my fascinate.

the HTC looks good but has terrible specs, the triumph looks good but I hear it has GPS and mobile data issues. i dont know anything about the optimus slider.

can anyone share personal opinions on these phones if you've owned them? Much appreciated.

I have triumph, optimus v, intercept and slider now is my main phone.

triumph i feel is just paper ship, is so good sounds but, actual use and QC control are terrible, is contracting out by motorola to another company base in China, what can you expect?

issue for triumph

1)POOR QUALITY CONTROL! if their QC remain 95% I can be better off the chance to get decent % of sour lemon, the one I use is actually 4 times swap with BEST BUY. imagine if you buy it from website, you gonna have no phone for 1 swap for at least few weeks, best buy or any retailer are more expensive, but they offer insurance fee that offer 1 time 2 yrs protection.

2) 3G issue.

is said 3G, but is so slow that i feel this phone is nothing but big screen and fast processor and decent camera, my Optimus and Optimus slider are even faster then Triumph, even loading youtube/navigation.

the lose signal are very annoying, too.

overall, I never like korean made cellphone, due to harsh experience with samsung (their epic hardware are also equally epic fail of their software engineering, great spec, but buggy software)

LG surprise me, optimus V is even slower on paper than Intercept (which I pick up intercept try to overclock it, but samsung once again fail.....it froze way too many even I remain stock and no apps, I MEAN NO APPS)

I have not own HTC since G1, so can't really tell wildfire S, but, as I guessed, it must be like optimus v, slower on paper but focus on UI and improved speed.

best I think of now is Optimus Slider.

ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE? the battery juice is too little, if I play pandora non stop it last about 8 hr......that is STILL ALMOST SAME as my triumph.

you can't really multitasking too much on these phone.

but LG I can promise, FAST 3G, true 3G speed is achiveable, unlike Triumph.

and good speed on most rom/apps, the things never lag on me, and proximity sensor are functional too, did I mention that: on triumph, when you place call, if you left the proximity sensor, the phone can't end call because screen turn dark due to proximity sensor are so sluggish to react, that, you can't do anything but shut/pull battery sometime because the can't hang up phones.

Triumph sour lemon maybe the only functional machine compare to other company, Triumph are mostly sour lemon and only few machine that works.

overall:

Optimus Slider> optimus V> triumph > intercept

guess Wildfire are same with optimus V with better UI and better battery life?

I am super happy with optimus slider, triumph are totally waste of money, 359 bucks + 2 yrs insurance with useless/fast dying/terrible calling bugs phone?

and I even swap them out too much times that Bestbuy guy know me.

they just nice looking big phone for those who being attracting for its spec and hope to develop the mod for it, but IF THE HARDWARE ARE FAILING, no software engineer can save it, yes even epic fail samsung will give up on this.....
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serialplague:
Ok from all the flashing (i guess thats my drug habit :D ) i have seem to have dislodged the mini usb slot. Yes i have tried everything to get it to work (aside from taking it apart to try soldering it back) but to no avail. I called viewsonic and they seemed very happy to help me even tho i couldnt even read my serial number (underneath the skinomi and forgot to write it down :o . I was wondering if anyone had experience with returns and if their picky about the flashing, (currently have gtabcomb on it) and if they are picky could someone test it out if i could flash to stock BL1.2 from gtabcomb 3.3 BL1.2 w/CWmod without nvflash?

Thanx

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serialplague:
Thanks for the link, ya I think Im gonna take my chances and try that, even if it doesnt boot after than they can fix that too :cool: or send it back to me not booting, just as long as the mini-usb's working.

They have a good article about replacing similar mini-usb's on Hack A Day but it seems like a pain to replace them. Plus this is normal use so its totally under the warranty.

Above is a decent place to get these kind of parts. Just be careful in the removal stage and use solder wick. Make sure you leave the traces intact and don't use much force (don't pry it off) let the wicking do the work and slowly lift it while still heated.

Hi

I tried to search topics about this problem but I wasn't able to find any..

I put together file/live streaming server to my home htpc. Point is to be able to view movies or live tv via my SGS anywhere. Server uses ffmpeg + ffserver. I can watch remotelly all my videos or live TV anywhere with laptop or galaxy Tab, but when I watch any videos with my SGS video/audio sync is way off (about 5secs). This is really annoying. I have tried different encoding setting but problem accurs allways.

My server encodes videos with ffmpeg (H264 + AAC) to ffserver. As format I use flv and container is mp4. Ffserver streams video to jw player. Ffmpeg encodes videos on-the-fly.

Does anyone have any tips how to get my video/audio sync working with my SGS ?? If I encode videos in advance and use progressive download I dont have any video/audio sync problem (ffmpeg using same settings).

This problem is driving me nuts..
