[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Sounds bad to me. I know they say if it turns on its not bricked, but if an ruu cant write to the partitions you will probably never be able to find a way to either. Hey im not an expert though by any means. Hope some one can help you figure it out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tophkr:
the ruu cant write to the partitions because they don't seem to exist or the mounts for those directories. thats why i'm interested in finding a way to rewrite the partitions back to factory. there is a way because the phone wasn't built with this file system on it so there is a way to write /dev /system /cache /data etc.. maybe even a way to pull it off a stock phone and write to this one?? i can adb shell and view all of the files so i know its accessible. and hboot and recovery both work and can flash successfully. come on xda don't let me down i know there are some really brilliant and creative minds out there who think this is an easy fix to them.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynisterWolf:
which hBOOT do you have? have you tried to reinstall the hBOOT?

http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=4

after you reinstall hBOOT then try to ruu with the .exe
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
+1 for reflashing hboot.

An ruu is ment to program the phone as if it were strait off the line never touched. It should create the file structure and partitions if they dont exist. What bothers me about your problem is that flashing roms or dooing ruu's compleet sucessfully without error. If the ruu cant write to these partitions it should stop and give an error, not just continue as if everything is ok. So to me it seems its writing to them fine but then for some reason cant read from them. Same for flashing a rom if it cant mount the partitions it should halt and give an error.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynisterWolf:
well you have have a partition that has blocked write access so when RUU reads it, it works but when it try's to write it skips it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tophkr:
i currently have .92 installed but i've gone back as far as .77 due to it being the development copy with full fastboot and adb capabilities. but i will try to reflash hboot .92 and then run ruu from computer while still in hboot.. worth a shot
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
You could try this. Sounds like your issue. Post 3.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tophkr:
tried that and i'm guessing the correct partitions are no longer there because i recieve this:

Error: /dev/block/mmcblk0: unrecognised disk label

and get that with every partition in the mmcblk catagory
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tophkr:
ok so i have a question based on a possible cause to this problem.. if the prebious owner had flashed a droid incredible 2 rom insted of a DINC rom.. i know that can cause issues flashing the wrong roms.. how would you go about fixing that?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynisterWolf:
Did you try the link on the last page?

Sent from my sexy assistant. (AMOLED HTC Incredible)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tophkr:
the link to using parted to fix the partition format.. yes but those folders do not exist. when i show a list of my mounted partitions cache, data, system and a few others don't show up in the list at all. so because they don't exist anymore i don't know what partitions to remake or what folders need to go in them, which to mount etc.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] refthemc:
So when you run the RUU's and PBIMG's they complete successfully without error?

also on a kind of related note, have you looked into booting a rom from your SD card or internal storage? Its not a fix or anything just merely might give you the satisfaction that your phone can boot a rom lol though it might not be by the traditional or standard means :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tophkr:
nope i've never looked into how to boot a rom from internal storage. could you supply a link to instructions as this might be a temp fix while i continue to try and fix this.

and yes when i run them they compleate with no errors. only errors appear when looking in recovery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] refthemc:
I would try a Google or XDA search because I've never tried it myself. Last I remember punk.kaos did it back when I had an Eris and I think more recently conap did it with the Incredible. Sorry I couldn't be of more help :/
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tophkr:
i'm going to look into it but i've never heard of it being done except on the hd2 and hd7 using ram loading. but thanks for the ideas
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] choonhooi:
Hi,

I have a Blue Angel (XDA IIS) that has been flashed with WM6.1. I have been using it for a few years until recently that I got this weird problem.

While the phone is idle, suddenly the volume increases automatically by itself, as if some one pushes the volume slider up, and keeps pushing it. As a result, the speaker keeps beeping as the volume already hitting the max.

After awhile, it will then stop. For a short while later, it starts again. While this is happening, I cant turn off the phone using the power button on the top. But I can turn off the backlight by doing a long-press.

I have tried to reflash the firmware and also did a hard reset, but it doesnt solve the problem.

Anyone has encountered this weird problem? The buttons seem to work fine when not in that weird condition. If it is not software problem (since I reflashed it) and hardware (buttons work fine in normal situation), what else could it be?

Any idea anyone? Really appreciate some advice.

Rgds,

CH

Hey guys,

So as you all know the ICS source code has been uploaded.

I think we should get together and continue the project we were working on few weeks ago.

Here's the link to the IRC room: http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=ICSPortS2

I'm sure we can make it boot this time, so join the IRC room and share your abilities!

Cheers,

Coentje44
[Galaxy S II General] dacook2:
Good luck i know you will make it.
[Galaxy S II General] Matriak31:
Wondered how long it would take you guys to get back up and running again...All you need is Paradoxx now.:)
[Galaxy S II General] XpLoDWilD:
That's what I was looking for :)

I've synced my repo to ICS, and getting my buildbox up, I'll keep you informed if I make any progress.

Yeahhhhh :). Come on guys! This time it will be possible :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizoman:
Hello to everyone! I am new on the xda train with a rooted (razerclaw root, gnufabios Recovery Installer) TF101 B80 with revolver rom 3.9.3 and prime! kernel OC 1.4gh :D

My question is next: because off a new root method for sbk v2, shall/can i update Superuser (in the update section off the app there is an update avalible - it says to version 3.0.3)?

Is it ok to update superuser or should i leave it alone?

I would also like to say Thanks! to all that made this possible! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaperzero:
yes. in most cases for those who root via razerclaw you will either have to clear the data of superuser or update it to get it working again
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizoman:
Don`t get me wrong. Superuser app on my asus is working fine. It just has an update available when i go to "check for update" in superuser app.

So i will update it if it is fine, becouse i like to have things up to date.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaperzero:
lol then that's a no brainier :D enjoy your rooted device
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizoman:
No brainer to update it?

Just to be on the safe side. Can this update of superuser.apk thru the app itself go wrong? Becouse this app is in relationship with the root.

As one once said "Don`t repare it if it`s not broken"

So is it safe to update?

EDIT: Yes
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Hello all! First off, let me say a huge *THANK YOU* to whoever initially ported the Extended Quick Settings mod over to the Desire HD, as well as Pendo and a few others who helped me along the way!

Now, with that said, I am one of the ClearDroid ROM developers. The purpose of the ROM was to keep things as close to Inspire-base as possible. When I used the Desire HD EQS mod, it took away our "beloved" (read:fake) H+ icon, and our 5-bar signal meter (which I actually prefer over the DHD 4-bar meter).

Now, since ClearDroid is Inspire-based, I couldn't have that! So, I set off to do my first port. :) After about 24 hours of total work time (spread over 3 days, 8-hour shifts), I finally figured out how to decompile successfully, edit smali, and edit xml, to compile back properly.

Devs, feel free to use this in your Inspire-based ROMs. :)

Please note, it is "ClearDroid" themed, with a transparent pulldown background and a "ClearDroid"-scripted bottom bar, but those can easily be removed in the UOT kitchen if you don't want them (just re-theme the pulldown bar as you choose).

Also, there was an issue with the background for the "Quick Settings" title bar (it was strangely showing the 1-bar WiMax hotspot icon?), so instead of completely screwing with the IDs again, I just changed that one icon into the correct background image and re-compiled it. It looks fine, but the spacing is a bit strange. Not quite sure how to fix it, but it all works perfectly fine. :)

It is using the official Inspire 2.47.502.7 Base. :)

Screenies:

​

All that said, here's a flashable zip of the SystemUI.apk! Enjoy!
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Great work!

I got your 10 char right here
[HTC Inspire 4G] techlogik:
Screenshots?

Just wondering, what do you mean "extended quicksettings"? Do you mean RCMix Tweaks?

I run EvaSense 2.6 right now...would like the H+ and wifi, but not the destruction of my RCMix tweaks for other stuff like battery and customized quick settings bar etc..
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
uhhh, I believe its the quick settings tab when you pull down the notification bar. The settings typically only have like 5 options or so, the extended settings give you more options.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Updated OP to include the base (official inspire gingerbread) as well as screenshots! Sorry I didn't include those last night, it was late and I was tired.

The Extended Quick Settings is the picture on the right. There are more settings on it than that (no, they can't be edited in this version without decompiling and recompiling the apk), but that was all I could show in 1 screenshot lol. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] techlogik:
Gotcha. Would be cool to have RCMix Tweaks that you can modify a few other things including the quick settings, and still get the 5bar and H+. I know that is an issue.

Good work!
[HTC Inspire 4G] cdordon:
Sense only roms, or AOSP safe?

sent from me cellular device, eh?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Presumably sense only, unless you can include the com.htc.resources.apk somehow? :P it needs that file to function, I assume it would need the sense framework too, though...
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Here's an updated version that includes the memory bar/task manager button. :)

Edit: Don't click on the memory bar unless you have the sense 3.0 task manager installed. It's re-uploaded here as well, originally made by seo from here.
[HTC Inspire 4G] drearg:
gonna give it a try. backing up 1st cause I'm on virtuous right now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] c0ldburn3r:
Any chance that we might see this work for the 3.12 base?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Which version of android and sense is that? I'll try to port it to the next inspire base that's released :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] c0ldburn3r:
I was reffering to the 3.12.405.1 DHD base with sense 3.0 I'm banking that we won't see a Sense 3 rom from ATT at all and it would be nice to add the Inspire touch to ARHD. Just seems more complete.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
I've been told that it's coming soon actually lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
I truly hope that is so. Here's to hoping
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike415:
So let me preface by saying Ive gone from iPhone to Android and have been watching WP since launch and plan on it being my next OS after I can get a hold of an off contract Verizon phone relatively cheaply or when my upgrade is up. I love how fluid it seems with its native apps and I want to get away from my buggy and laggy/stuttering Droid X (Which is the same for everyone I know with one).

But there's some things that you really don't take into account when you don't actually use the device everyday, so I figured Id ask here and see how WP stacks up.

What I am looking for info on:

-I use Android's file system to store non-market/root APK's to reinstall apps after wiping/updating the phone and such. I would like to unlock my WP for things like screenshot utilities; how does that whole scene work in a quick summary? I know about Chevron, but how are these apps distributed, updated etc.?

-How are non-native apps with scrolling smoothness these days in Mango? I cant stand the lag and stuttering in Android.

-Can you download from IE to the file system with homebrew? How about natively?

-How does Skydrive work for installers/loading installers, PDF's and other non-Office files? Can you browse it like a filesystem, as I currently use it as a Network Drive on my PC anyways.

-Does the universal volume setup become an issue? I use my phone as my PMP with headphones all the time, then I need it to be on vibrate for class and in general, also alarms randomly, and occasionally I play games with the media on. Will I be missing alarms or leaving the ringer on in class if I don't pay close attention or is it mainly just when going headphones to media? I dont quite understand how it works specifically.

-Quick ways to toggle WiFi and screen brightness with homebrew?

-Back up options for app settings and things if a wipe happens?

-Do you find yourself ever getting annoyed with the animations or the app list for less used apps that still get accessed once in a while?

-How bad is board reader for browsing forums or the free reddit apps? They dont have great ratings.

-Am I going to be panning a lot in IE without text reflow? I usually browse/do everything in portrait and dont like landscape much FYI.

Anything you really miss about Android or iOS?

:cool:
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barbbachello:
I only know of TouchXplorer for HTC for file management but im sure there are others for the other brands. Not sure how you would go about storing files for re installation. Dont think anyone has figured out how to invoke the xap installer from files on the phone. Most of these apps are found here on XDA

Most apps are pretty smooth. Depends on the dev. Id say they are all smoother than android though.

Dont think you can download to the file system from IE

You can access Skydrive from the office hub. You can open media files and pdfs etc. Once again not sure about install files.

I havent had a problem with the volume. I use my phone for media and games. I just put it on vibrate when i need to which is easy to do on the lock screen.

Cant toggle from the homescreen yet, there are apps that are shortcuts to the setting though

There is a homebrew backup program here on XDA somewhere

I dont get annoyed by the animations. They make for a nice experience

The XDA app is a version of board express i believe and its not too bad. I Haven't tried any of the Reddit apps

There is a bit of panning. I find its just easier to find a good zoom level that you can read it on

Hope i helped

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adesonic:
To be honest, from your questions, I would say you would be better off staying with android, don't get me wrong, i love wp7 and it does everthing i need it to do, but you may find some of the stuff you want is not available and get frustrated.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobysnacks:
I just switched and am very happy! After two years on android, wp7 feels so smooth and coherent
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weijoon:
IMHO, go to a store or carrier centre and request a WP7 and play with it, as from what I believe, everyone has their own preferences.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pillsburydoughman:
My advise would be to stay away if you're a tweaker, which is sounds like you are.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobysnacks:
I was though, but sometimes you get sick of constantly flashing roms, chaning things around, and want something that just works.

I'm happy that now it seems as if I have much more time since I'm not constantly fiddling with my phone 24/7.

I guess that is dependent on the person themselves though
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobysnacks:
there are no custom roms for my phone...

I was continually trying to get my phone smoother, and smoother on android.

I just don't feel the need to with this. Once again, just my own two cents. I never said that it would be the same for everyone
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike415:
Thanks for the replies so far. It helped me get a better feeling for WP and it seems like I should really just wait for all the new OS updates like Ice Cream and iOS 5.x+/iPhone 5 before diving into WP. I am a slight tweaker of Android, but I don't actually want to do that very much anymore. I just want a phone that works and suits my needs. Android suits my needs, but doesn't really work great and it annoys me.

WP seems like it would be okay for me. Im not an app whore anymore since Ive been a smartphone user for several years now and I pretty much just like to be able to get the news, read some forums, text a lot, use yelp to find places to eat, and occasionally pass some time on leisure games. Android is pretty weak as far as finding decent games IMO and I think WP could actually be better in that regard (iPhone is the only one I would consider good for leisure games, but if Ive gotten by on Android this long I think WP could be okay, especially since I still would have an iPhone and Droid for those games). Right now, using Launcher 7 on Android I only use 2.5 screens of tiles so Im not going to have too much of an issue with the app list I think (Homebrew folders support will do me fine in that regard as I can toss all the leisure games in there also).

What I am still unclear on is viewing PDFs that are hosted on websites because its a situation that I run into frequently enough that I need it to be able to view PDFs from sites or Skydrive (Either one). Can I navigate with IE to a site with a link to a hosted PDF and view it or not?

Can I leave my phone on vibrate (no ring) and still play headphones without turning the ring back on in doing so? This would be a huge issue if not because I can't be having my phone go off in class all the time. I rarely take my phone off vibrate, so I want to make sure I can leave silent/vibrate on and still play Zune without turning the ringer back on.

Does vibrate mean that alarms only vibrate and dont sound? ie. do I need to take my phone off silent ringer/vibrate all night if I want to hear an alarm in the morning?

--

I like how well Microsoft has seemingly written WP and I think eventually it will be great after Win8 and WP8. Maybe I just need to hold off for those phones and not waste money getting an off contract phone. If Win8+WP8+XBOX+Live services doesnt bring very tight integration and some nice new features, I think I'll lose all the faith Ive put into Microsoft the past 15 years.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
With Mango both of these issues are addressed. You can put your ringer on vibrate and still listen to music, and even adjust the volume without affecting the "vibrate only" setting. However, when you turn the ringer back on, it will be on at the current volume setting, not what it was before.

Also, you can have the ringer on vibrate and still hear alarms. In fact, alarms are now treated as "special" by the OS, and they ignore both the volume and ringer (vibrate) settings. They start low, and get progressively louder until dismissed.

WP will eventually be fantastic, and the ecosystem will mature. But I have to be honest and say that for me it isn't there yet, and it is unclear how long it will take to get there. If your only option right now is to go off contract to get a WP device, I would have to suggest that you wait at least until Apollo is released (which, by all credible accounts will be Q4 of next year).

My reason for saying this is because each time Microsoft does fix a problem, they do an admirable job. But they need to (IMO) be more aggressive with their release schedule. Following the "one small release mid year and one major release annually" model isn't enough. There should be smaller patch releases to address issues, rather than making people suffer with them for 6+ months.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sayonical:
Hi Mike,

Like you I mapped Skydrive as a network drive and simply drag/drop my pdf files there. PDFs are natively supported on wp7 once you download the official adobe pdf app.

The PDFs will show up on skydrive in the Office Hub. Infact if you use the Documents folder as the "root" of all your files and simple create folders within there, they will all show up in the office hub's skydrive folder. As you see I have a "PDF" folder with all my pdfs. You download them when you select it and it is saved to adobe's app storage locally on the phone.

Skydrive on the phone will also stream audio and video files! Sometimes my friends would share a video or some music with me and I'd be able to access it natively!

You can view any pdf or office document (provided it is in later version format i thnk office 2007 up) hosted on websites. It will download and open in adobe/office.

Also OneNote is absoulely terrific in the Office hub for syncing notes to the PC/web and phone. I use it extensively to manage my classes!

Hope this helped.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morpheuszg:
PDF's are just working fine. Just install Adobe's PDF app and IE will automatically hook them and forward them to the app. Same on SkyDrive, you can even zip those PDF's as WP is able to look into zips.

As for the sound it should work the way you described. Volume control is for everything on the device but the button for vibration is only for the ringer. So if you mute your device via volume rocker then everything will be muted. If you only press the vibrate button then only the ringer will be silenced.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike415:
Awesome, guys. Great replies. The volume issues and PDF issues seem like they would be fine for situations like mine. Loved the screenshots!

Really I dont see too many issues not to switch over eventually, as the replies here have quelled my main doubts. As more apps come and current apps are optimized theres very little reason to not switch for most people. Its just that damn app list!

Good thing there's homebrew folders now though!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobysnacks:
thankfully the games go into your xbox live folder though...

also you can tap a letter to quickly bring up all letters where you can quickscroll from letter to letter to find apps you have.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sayonical:
and search too. I actually prefer the app list to iOS pages of icons. The applist I know exactly where to find it alphabectically using the jumplist. Need twitter? Tap a letter jump to T and its in that group. iOS its a "which page is it?' scenario.

The homebrew folders is also pretty nice. I use it for all my "News" apps and "Social" app but it doesnt have live tiles so it defeats the wp7 purpose of glance and go :P
