[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] n0esc:
Todays update to ROM Manager just added support for internal and external SD backups. 4.8.0.1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] todivefor:
Although support is there, I think you have the wrong version. It should be 5.0.2.7. You should select "Samsung Epic 4G Touch" in "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery." I still haven't figured out how this all works in Rom Manager. When I boot into recovery from RM, it hangs with the box with an arrow coming out of it with the green figure. I pull battery and reboot, it goes to recovery, 5.0.2.3.

Edit: nevermind. I was confusing versions between RM and CWM. Shouldn't do this so late.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] n0esc:
Tested the new version a couple times now. No hangs. It boots into 5.0.2.7 and allows the download of the addon packages. No roms listed to test yet obviously but everything else seems to be in order.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtr145r:
If it hangs flash back to stock kernel then flash cwm. It will work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
Just read this... and i should mention a few things

first, ROM Manager doesnt actually flash the recovery, it uses fakeflash.. which means if you have any version of cwm on your phone, then ROM Manager will load the newest, but ONLY rom manager..

All of my kernels are ROM Manager compatible, and have the newest recovery...

Koush is not developing CM7 for this phone, though his recovery is built into cm7.. he stated he would pass the phone off to a CM developer when he is done with it though...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lojak29:
This was my issue as well.. Im on a prerooted zedomax lost kernel that has root and cwm built in... But when i choose epic touch in rom manager it takes me to a android logo with arrow and have to battery pull.. How do u use rom manager with lost kernel id like to boot through rom manager as apose to manual volume and power method
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
RM just works with lost kernels newer version... dont need to do anything but flash the kernel..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
I think we've established it works now. Hoping this is deleted to free up clutter.
[Xoom General] moocowgal:
but they removed the root, can i do the 3g root again or do i need to follow a new procedure
[Xoom General] hammer4203:
If you choose to root you can only use one method and do not downgrade it will mess you up. Do not try to use any other kernel either. This is the only way to root. If you have an issue after root just ask. Don't need anyone else messing up their 4g upgrade. We have all been trying to get motor to put up the new bootloader for the upgraded xoom. This is how I rooted mine and my wife's.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If you have the Desire Z, it came from the factory with the Desire Z HBoot. If your friend doesn't know which one, he probably didn't change it. And there would be no reason to flash the G2 Hboot on a DZ.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seelinkit:

Hey guys.

Im on t-mobile right now and i really want a qwerty keyboard android. I want to be up to date, but speed isnt EVERYTHING for me. Please help. Im using a MT4G right now and i really want a physical keyboard. Any suggestions or upcoming phones??

Thanks in advance

Remember! Im only 13. Gimme a break! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alfawolfsqwd:
There is a bunch of QWERTY keyboards available for T-Mobile. But the most recent ones are the Samsung Gravity Smart, myTouch 4g Slide, the Side-Kick 4g, almost all the Blackberries, and the Motorola CLIQ 2. My personal favorite is the myTouch 4G Slide.

Remember! Im only 13. Gimme a break! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dripz167:
Okay, since you're 13, I'm guessing a cost effective phone is best for you and your parents. The sidekick 4G is only $30 (I think) at WalMart and $80 on the online t-mo store

ON CONTRACT

. It has decent (1GHZ 512MB RAM and a 3.5 inch screen) specs and has the best keyboard I've ever seen on an Android phone (it's 5 rows with a dedicated number row)

And if you're really into android, we have a couple of ROMS available if you root.

The Mytouch q and the LG Doubleplay are coming out later, but they both have qwertys and are pretty good.

Or you can go with the beastly MT4G Slide, but it's $200 on contract.

Are you on contract, or are just looking to pay full price for a phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtrab:
IMO Moto Droid 3 (Milestone 3) is the best option currently available

(dual core, qHD, 8Mpix, 1080p video, front cam)

I've long wished for a QWERTY flagship from HTC, Moto or Sony,

but they seem to have forgotten that market (at least their high-end flagship phones)

I'll have to get my finger used to screen typing or otherwise settle with their mid-range not-so-bleeding-edge QWERTY phones offer :(

I need Help!!!!! LG LW 690 AKA Optimus C

Hey guys not sure where to post this, there are no forums for my phone. Seems no one really has any info on my phone. I hope somone can help me. I have an LG LW 690, AKA, Optimus C through Cricket. I know my first mistake is having Cricket as my carrier, but $60.00 a month for unlimited talk, text and data and insurance cant be beat. I rooted this Android with Gingerbreak V1.20 worked like a charm. No problems what so ever. After a week or so, I tried flashing ROM with Rom Manager, I was unaware of the consequences that were to follow. After Flashing it said something like "flash completed successfully," upon rebootit froze. and is now "BRICKED."

It does not shut off unless battery is removed, it will not boot past lg icon.

I heard that if I removed the back that on the motherboard there are two terminals that I can attach capactitors to and it will force jump start the Android. Does anyone know about this. I have nothing to lose doing this, because right now, I have a $220.00 piece of metal, I cant use. Any help would be appreciated. Email me troi.troiani@yahoo.com

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
Which recovery does your phone have? If you can enter download mode, you can flash a different ROM (firmware) using a program for your PC. I imagine you flashed the wrong ROM, maybe one for a different device. Your phone does NOT sound bricked though. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pimppoet:
The mytouch 4g slide is good choice if its within ur parents budget. One of the best keyboards ive used was on the touch pro2 especially with its titling screen. Its a window mobile cell. U can run andorid on it but that maybe too much of a hassle for u.

On a side note... I wonder why htc never made a android cell with the touch pro 2 design...

[HTC Desire S] avensakias:
Looking at the Android-info inside the stocked signed zips i found some conclusions.!!

RUU 2.10.401.5 has: mainver: 2.10.401.5

hbootpreupdate:13

DelCache:1

FOTA 2.10.401.4 has:

mainver: 11.10.401.4

hbootpreupdate:13

FOTA 2.10.401.5 has:

mainver: 12.10.401.5

hbootpreupdate:13

So the only reason that we can not flash the stock RUU 2.10.401.5 all of us that have updated even only the firmware via the OTA zip is that trying to flash the 2.10.401.5 RUU the phone or the flashing tool thinks that has bigger rom update 11.10.401.4 or 12.10.401.5 ??

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adithecool:
Hi,

Firstly, thank you everyone for setting up such an awesome place! I've managed to downgrade, root, sim unlock, s-off and eng-off my DHD. I've also installed ROM Manager so I'm good to go. But I have a few questions:

1. I downgraded to 1.32.x, and my main reason to downgrade was to sim unlock my DHD. Can I upgrade my "firmware upgrade" to the latest HTC's firmware without affecting my sim lock? Will I lose my root? Or ROM Flashing capabilities?

2. Does flashing the ROM clear or remove any data from the phone? Data like contacts, texts, etc. If yes, then how do you back it up so it can be restored between ROM changes? (I've seen people posting in ROMs threads about checking out the ROM, so I'm assuming they have a method of backing up their data and then flashing the new ROM and restoring the data)

3. I like the HTC Sense but I would love to go to stock Android Gingerbread 2.3. Will I have to compile my own version or make my own ROM? If yes, is their any guide for that (I tried searching for stock Android ROMs but came up empty).

Thanks :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arminvandyk:
1. Do not flash Htc's official(stock) firmware. You'll lose root and custom recovery i.e rom flashing capabilities. I am not sure of sim unlock.

2. It is almost mandatory to do a full wipe before flashing a new rom if u are coming from a different base rom. For eg. u are on 1.32 so, to flash a newer base(1.72/2.36/2.50/3.06) a full wipe is necessary or u might face a few bugs.

Yes, wiping erases the user data. Contacts, calender & market apps can be backed up in your google account and can be restored when u first setup ur device in the setup wizard by signing into ur google account. Make sure u have backup/restore enabled. Alternately, u can use Titanium backup or MyBackup Pro even app/game data can be restored.

3. U dont need to compile ur own rom, leave it to the devs :D. Cyanogenmod 7.1 is the closest you can get to stock android(AOSP). Heck, its better than stock android. Its almost stock but better.

Happy flashing :)

I really would like a bigger screen evo 3d with better contrast, the Galaxy Note would fit my needs only and only if Sprint gets it though. I know its GSM only for now but take the cdma carrier network chip from the epic touch 4g should easily swap in.

When a 5.3 inch hd screen STYLUS INPUT super big battery 8mp rear 2mp front comes along its definitely different then the norm so yea Ill jump ship then and only then.
