[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkaterOllie795:
I'm having problems flashing a new kernel. Whenever I flash one in fastboot mode it does its thing and then I disconnect my phone and and turn it on. My phone vibrates as normal and but then I just get a black screen and nothing happens. I've tried lots of different Kernels on many different roms but I just get the same outcome.

Here's what I do:

1) I put the boot.img in the fastboot folder and then hold shift and right click to bring up CMD in the folder.

2) I input fastboot flash boot boot.img and then it says a few things in CMD and looks successful.

3) I reboot my phone and I then get a black screen.

What am I doing wrong?

here's a picture of the CMD log
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Maybe you're flashing an incompatible kernel for your rom? What kernel and rom are you attempting?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkaterOllie795:
I've tried flashing Doom Kernal V5 on 2.3.4 UK generic

I've also tried flashing cyanogenmod.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
I don't know why cyanogenmod wouldn't work, but for DooMKerneL v05, make sure it's NOT the test 1 release. If it's not, then... well I don't have high hopes for your phone. You're sure you're unlocked right?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkaterOllie795:
I'm using test 2 so I think that I'm just doing something wrong.

I'm pretty sure my bootloader is unlocked as Alejandrissimo unlocked my phone and I can get into flashboot mode and see that blue LED.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Your using the wrong command to flash a kernel, your using the boot command. Use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
You... do realize that's the same command he said didn't work, right?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Sorry i'm not with it today. :rolleyes: I swore he put, he was typing, fastboot boot boot.img :rolleyes:

Its cause you have a bad block. Does stock kernel work?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkaterOllie795:
Well I'm just trying to flash dooms kernel over this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1313505

How do I solve the bad block issue?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
You dont, each partition is divided into blocks, once a block is bad or corrupt its like that forever. Dooms kernels are quite large in size, much bigger than stock, if stock kernel works, maybe doom would consider making a smaller boot.img for people with bad blocks :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkaterOllie795:
Thank you for being such a big help AndroHero. I just brought up your thanks meter to the magic 400 :)

Just wondering though. What makes you get a bad block in the first place and can I get more?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
I don't know to be honest, im not a dev, but like any flash memory somtimes it gets corrupt, remember the old ps1 memory cards? Sometimes one or two of the blocks in that got corrupt but the rest still worked. It's like that i think, people like HTC and Sony know this though, thats why boot partition is always like twice the size of the kernel just incase, maybe someone clever like doomlord will be able to explain it better. :)

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wil2bm:
So about a month ago I bought an extended battery for my phone for only like $25 - dropped it a week later and of course cracked the screen since I had to get rid of the case I was using.

100 dollars later I got a phone through my insurance and have been having problems with my data connection ever since.

I noticed last night if I turn off the 4g I have no issues with 3g... Any idea what the issue may be?

Radios are up to date have tried different roms and no luck - is it possible if I update my 4g sim card that may help? Am currently using the one from my original phone - not the new one that came with my replacement.

Also if it's the phone itself and I have to have them send me out a new one, what's the easiest way to unroot? Used an auto-root in the first place and don't know much about the process in general.
[HTC EVO 3D] tracerit:
I'll be coming from an Epic Touch 4G, just wanted to know what colors the EVO 3D's LED blinks and and the pulses available.

Is there an app or ROM that allows one to adjust those settings?
[HTC EVO 3D] suparnemo:
I don't think you can change the color of the notification led on the 3D and I'm unsure about pulses.
[HTC EVO 3D] tracerit:
hmm... maybe not change LED but at least the pulse rate?

SOLID LED: missed calls, texts (since those two are the most important to me)

BLINKING LED: emails, calendar reminders
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Battlesrudy:
So I bought a hd2 rooted to android I don't know alot about rooting but Im a quick learner. I think it's rooted with NAND and madglar or something and when it boots it says dft I think. So the problem is it doesn't have root acsess I guess they rooted it wrong so I want to put it back to stock and normally to unroot you put it in recovery mode well when I turn it off and on holding the down arrow it comes up with the rainbow screen and is stuck there and won't go to bootloader so I'd like to have it back on windows to try again or leave it there but I'm stuck and watched hours of videos can someone help please. Side note I don't care about root acssess but something was messed up with the signal with the bad root and i have horrible connection most places.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
I think all of the NAND Android ROMs come rooted, and there is no such thing as a bad root. NAND Android may have flashed incorrectly, but I doubt it has anything to do with root. What you should do is download a ROM (it can be any ROM for your appropriate HD2 [TMOUS or EU]) and enter bootloader, then flash the ROM from there. The bootloader IS the tricolour screen by the way.

Alternatively, you could Task 29, flash Radio, flash MAGLDR, flash CWM then flash ROM if you want to keep Android (and a much more stable version, DFT stock Desire is very old)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Battlesrudy:
So I have a stock rom on my desktop but how do I flash it to the phone and sorry when I saw videos they were on the multi colored screen then it went to a white screen but mine doesn't and I said bad root because it's only half way done like it runs android but superuser doesn't work and root checker says no root acsess
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
1- The only thing that says DFT when booting is old Windows Phone 7 roms (And DFT's Stock Desire NAND), you sure you have android? (or do you mean the very first screen?)

2- Rainbow screen is the bootloader.

3- On that rainbow screen does it say Cotulla or HSPL or both?

4- If it does say, just download your preferred WinMo6.5 ROM and install it using the HD2 toolkit while being in the bootloader (rainbow).

5- As Nigeldg has said, all Android ROM come pre-rooted (only DFT Stock Desire NAND is not rooted)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Battlesrudy:
1 yes I'm sure

2 ok

3 both

4 I'll try where can I get the tool kit

5 idk what that means
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kompheak:
So you know you have hspl... then that's a good start... now reflash magldr 1.13.... once that goes well... flash a 250 or higher partition clockwork recovery.... to do that you have to be in magldr boot screen.. and select flash via USB... let me know how that goes... if still have trouble just pm me... we will get it running
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
1. Is not strictly true, see this video, skip to around 7.30, DFT logo on bootup.

@ OP enter bootloader and connect USB. You should see 'USB' at the bottom (replacing 'serial' or something like that). Once this is done, flash the ROM from the bootloader.

Or, better, reflash a new Android ROM.
[LG Optimus 2x] HoundDK:
Hi,

My wifes O2X is running vanilla V10d and durring startup config I selected Danish (Denmark) but the keyboard has no special danish carecters (æøå). I went through the menus but I couldn't find anything wrong/missing. :confused:

How do I get my special danish carecters on the LG stanard keybord (I don't wanna root or install another keyboard)?

Thanks..
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
You don't, they're simply not there. If you don't want to install another keyboard, as you say, you have to wait for the GB update, which has localized keyboards for Scandinavia.

(I assume you are aware you can long-press keys to get ØÆÅ.)
[LG Optimus 2x] HoundDK:
Okay, I must admit I'm surpriced that LG doesn't support local caracters in their official 2.2 FW. Guess I have use GB keyboard from market then.. :)
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Can some one help me? I have the original LG Revolution, got it the week after it first came out. I have Revolt 1.5 on it. I need to know how to get it from that point to GB, in "spoon feed me" talk. I know I need to unroot, I rooted with the superoneclick, can I unroot with thecube's Revotoolkit? What do I need to do? Please and thank you. Also, I don't have any of the original goodies, so I will need to rely on other forum posts to get me all that crap too. Also, if I go to the GB and want to root, will I have to use the ADB method?
[LG Revolution] Squiz0329:
I Spent about 18 ************* hours on this. The good news is, if my stupid ass can do it, ANYBODY can lol. The thread about losing root, and accidentally upgrading to v6 has all the info needed, I promise. And it should only take about an hour or so.

you have to install the LGNST 1st if you don't have it

here's the link to all the files you need to install LGNST just follow it step by step

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1211295

i don't think you need to download the vz4 tot file anymore since there's a root for the vz6 already

so you'll just need to run LGNST and load the vz6 tot to your revo, you don't need to unroot or uninstall cwm since once you loaded the vz6 it'll remove both at the same time. this process takes about 15mins

i recommend not to disconnect the phone until your revo have complete rebooted and the LGNST says complete

then all you have to do is update to vz7 GB on the revo software update

here's the link to get the vz7 GB rooted just follow the instructions and you'll be fine and this root can help root the vz6 also

http://androidnerds.net/2011/10/08/lg-esteem-oneclickroot-now-ready/

if the LG esteem don't work use the drivers provided on the link. rooting vz7 GB takes 1-3min
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Those ways work my way worked as well. I just restored to the stock Revo from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129117

I then wiped /data in cwm. I tried to boot into that restore without doing it and I black screened. That restore doesn't have the /data stuff so something funky happens and booting didn't work for me. I wiped /data and everything was ok. After I booted up I installed Revo Toolkit from >>> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1144951

Once I had that installed I went and changed back to the stock recovery.

With the stock recovery in place I then went into setting and pulled the V6 update to my phone. That came through fine for me (this is where a lot of people had problems). After that rebooted and installed I pulled the GB update to my phone the same way. That installed fine and rebooted. Only issue I am having now is getting my phone to root again so I can test out MT's new ROM for him which is what started this whole mess when I tried to flash to it from Revolt.

Hope my ranting helps :)

Hi all,

Modded the Go Locker Four Key a bit... First time I do this so hopefully you like it and I didn't mess anything up :D

Background is like the background of the Redux2 notification/multitasking bar (very dark grey), highlight color changed from blue to orange which also goes well with the Go Launcher Transparency Skin for widgets

1) uninstall the Go Locker Four Key if you have it installed

2) install GoLockerRedux.apk

3) Enable "Go Locker Four Key" again

Note: you need to have Go Launcher and Go Locker installed off course.

Just wondering if there are any guides out there to show you how to create your own custom themes. I know there is the UOT kitchen but it only customizes some things. So far I haven't been able to find anything.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
Check this link out for all the basics.

https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcdxIJRSH9ypZGZzc2pxNDlfMjdnazk4OHNxZA&hl=en&pli=1
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Murdoc419:
Thanks!! There's a little more to it than I anticipated but I'll figure it out. One question though, the guide says to use theme .zip files from a custom ROM. Could you use the files from the stock FXZ? I quite like the stock system (minus some bloat). Unless there are major benefits to using a custom ROM? I'm currently running Liberty3 but I haven't seen much difference so far besides a few AOSP apps and the aesthetic changes.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
I pretty much taught myself. I only do basic PNG editing though.

Extract SystemUI.apk and Framework-res.apk and edit the PNGs in /res/drawable-hdpi

Then either pack the APKs into a flashable zip or push them straight to the device through ADB.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
If I'm only editing png's I just use winrar or 7zip to drag and drop them into the Rom zip, or theme zip that I'm using.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Murdoc419:
Thanks this has been very helpful so far. Now I'm just curious if there are any major benefits to running a custom ROM over the stock one?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
For bionic. I just use stock. Nothing is wrong with it speed-wise. I like the little add-ons like extended power menu and such. But I was able to find mods or edit my own stuff to make stock exactly how I want it. For details on what a ROM has over stock, just check out the OP for that ROM. I tried Liberty and Th3ory and they're awesome, I just went back to stock for personal preference reasons.

If you realllly want a ROM...

Liberty has been the best by far for other devices I've owned. Its officially released for the bionic but its still in development a little bit.

Th3ory's ROM for the bionic is a moster as well, he's a beast.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Versatile1:
Here is a good guide

Here is another good one by xkape
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Murdoc419:
Thanks Tivo. I was quite satisfied with the stock ROM for the whole 6 hours I used it before flashing Liberty. Don't get me wrong liberty is very well done but I would like to customize everything to my exact liking.

guide to overclock samsung galaxy ace

first install cyanogen mod 7 using clockworkmod.then follow following steps-

Though ketut.kumajaya make this kernel to reach 1036mhz but now we can run at 940mhz

because he make some mistake in voltage providing so above 940mhz phone get reboot

so choose max frequency 940mhz

How to install-

1.put zip file in sdcard

2.go in recovery mod

3.choose install zip from sdcard

4.choose zip and install

5.now reboot

How to choose frequency

go in setting/cynogenmod setting/performance/cpu setting/ then choose max frequency you want but it should not more than 940mhz

Agreed!

Dude, if you're unfamiliar with it, don't do it at all! If you screw your device up you'll be pissed!

There isn't much point overclocking the.Galaxy Ace anyway. Most people can only clock to 900mhz. Any higher and the device restarts. That 100mhz difference is going to be barely noticeable unless your benchmarking.

You can also **** your CPU up royally (beyond repair) =[
