Did you capture a nandroid backup before flashing a custom ROM? If so, you can always get the kernel (boot.img) from the backup folder. This can be flashed using "fastboot" while your phone is in bootloader but not until you restore your custom ROM (flashing a ROM updates your kernel so you need to flash your custom kernel afterwards). The command is:

fastboot flash boot c:\somefolder\boot.img

You also need the matching wifi driver. Easiest way is to restore your nandroid backup and copy the \system\lib\modules\bcm4329.ko to your SD card. You can copy this file back after restoring your custom ROM
[HTC EVO 3D] Chillaxed:
what is your hboot version? i dont have a nandroid backup because i'm stupid and wanted more space to put jackass 3d on my phone. could someone post the file i need?
[HTC EVO 3D] ancola66:
Hboot 1.49.1107 arose because you use the revolutionary tools. Those HBoot 0007, after the tool has revolutionized the Hboot 1107. This is completely normal:)
[HTC EVO 3D] raman21raman:
soliution try it

dear have u tried kingcobra 3d ???

if not then

donwload the latest version

then install it using sd card but remember do full wipe of ur device before installation

even from advance menu too

then install it

if it stucks at boot screen then

no prob

connect ur device with computer using fastboot

then push the boot.img file from the same rom u downloaded and installed (kingcobra)

then reboot ur device

if dont knw how push the boot.img

tthen tell me i ll explain it to u
[HTC EVO 3D] mildlydisturbed:
not sure if it works on the GSM 3ds, but on CDMA that are unlocked but S-ON we can use an app called FlashImageGUI that'll flash kernels from within the OS. Usually fixes wifi problems, and doesn't require using fastboot.

However, that's CDMA, do not know what it would do to a GSM
[HTC EVO 3D] Garrytheogre:
yes thats the one I was talking about . It works well on gsm
[HTC EVO 3D] boyzxiii:
There is another method that discovered by those ppl in Taiwan.

1. Boot your device into fastboot.

2. Connect your device to computer. (phone screen should now changed to 'fastboot usb')

3. Open cmd and type 'fastboot boot recovery.img' (providing you have all the required files as well as recovery image)

4. Flash the rom as usually.

We all know that HTCDev does not give full access to bootloader when we unlock. So his way gives your the highest permission of recovery.

Give a try and hope it works.
[HTC EVO 3D] Chillaxed:
i've tried this too with no luck.

also i am a dumbass and have never done a backup because i've never had anything go wrong like this.
[HTC EVO 3D] Chillaxed:
what files do you need? the entire rom? or just the recovery?
[HTC EVO 3D] Chillaxed:
i've used fastboot to do the recovery.img then the boot.img and still no wifi, then i tried flashing the rom as usual, then flashing a custom kernel through the GUI app, and still no wifi.
[HTC EVO 3D] Chillaxed:
looks like this is an actual hardware problem, reverted back to stock rogers RUU and still no WiFi.
[HTC EVO 3D] shiznt:
Here's a flashable zip I created to fix my Wifi issues. May be worth a shot.
[HTC EVO 3D] alliance_22:
This is whats happening to me too, i had wifi working before on stock rom, but once i fashed a custom one in there, i tried turning WiFi on, and all it says is ERROR under the wifi icon in settings..

im trying to flash custom kernel and hope it fixes it...

Have you tried flashing the module on its own

Hi all, Purchased my Galaxy Nexus today - First thing on the list; Unlock and Root.

I have downloaded all of the necessary files but cmd is stuck on < waiting for device >

My phone is in fastboot mode but i cannot get this command to work to unlock the bootloader - I have installed the Samsung drivers... Is there anything I am missing here?

Any help or suggestions welcome, Thanks! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
Try with a different USB cable if you can.

I had the same issue (device not being found) using the cable that came with it, so I swapped it for the one that came with my Desire and it worked fine.

Worth a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lexarjump:
Cheers! I'll give it a try!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lexarjump:
Just tried my original Nexus One USB cable but no luck - I'm thinking it could be something to do with the drivers?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el3ctrik:
If you run "fastboot devices" and there's nothing found, then you need to install the fastboot drivers (these are not the same as the USB debug drivers from the zip).

I've found the easiest way to get the drivers is to install pdanet - as part of the installation process you install all needed drivers. You can then uninstall pdanet (or in my case, have the installer crash), leaving just the fastboot driver for you to carry on your rooting :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] liorra3:
mybe, you can try fastboot devices and check if the device is found.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] braingravyuk:
Just along the lines of using fastboot oem unlock... is the Galaxy the same as the Nexus S in that you can relock the bootloader again?

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el3ctrik:
Honestly, not willing to check this one after spending today setting up my device, and no custom recovery available yet.

But given it's a Nexus device, and noting the ease with which we can unlock, then I'd say it's a pretty surefire bet that relocking will be just as easy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lexarjump:
Thanks alot! It worked :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rock7632:
I'm looking to just unlock the bootloader of my Galaxy Nexus which will hopefully arrive tomorrow morning. I currently have AndroidSDK and samsung drivers both installed on my pc as well as a file called fastboot.exe. my question is do I need both the Samsung Drivers as well as AndoidSDK installed for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Proyoyo:
I think PDAnet should be sufficient
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rock7632:
okay thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waka50:
I tried all day yesterday to unlock bootloader with no success. I installed the latest sasmsung usb drivers for mobile (released on 31/10/2011). This allowed the PC to recognise the phone installing the drivers properly. But then starting the phone in recovery mode (power+up+down bottons) I get the android 1 not recognised in device manager.

I then saw this thread and decided to install pdanet 3.02 client on the pc. I couldn't complete that step as pdanet cannot see the phone.

I gave up in the end. If you manage to do it successfully could you please tell me the step you did?

I am going to try tonight on my mac as apparently on mac you do not have this drivers issue. Will post with my results.

Forget my previous post.

Installing pdanet and saying no to install the usb drivers (as part of pdanet install) everything should be fine.

Done mine and working fine.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
yes

fastboot oem lock will lock it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tophernuts:
Hey I seem to be having some troubles as well,

windows 7 recognizes it as an ADB device and when I use - adb reboot bootloader

it takes me to the fastboot screen that it should.

but once I'm there it doesn't recognize any fastboot devices.

And yes I have reinstalled the SDK, Samsung drivers, and Android ADB driver

Would it matter that I had previously done a bunch of messing around with my ASUS transformer on this computer?

under device manager it says:

ASUS Android Devices - Android ADB Interface

I'm going to try it on another computer tomorrow but I'm curious if that should make a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rilasis:
The driver failed to install on my phone...when I reboot into my bootloader it looks a bit different from in the video. Mine just has an android and it says start above it. The oem unlock command fails to do anything as well.

Why is nothing ever simple?

Does your phone need to be connected when you install the samsung drivers on it? Or does it install these drivers after booting into the bootloader?

When I install the samsung drivers on my computer with the phone connected, it says the following:

Android phone: No drivers found

Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device: Ready to use

Samsung Mobile MTP Device: Failed

Samsung Android ADB Interface: Ready to use

When I hold the volume buttons and power it on now, it just goes straight to the google logo...not even getting the android logo with the start option anymore. I think I might have accidentally uninstalled the ADB drivers in my device manager because I saw 2 copies and thought I installed it twice...
[Nexus S General] ChucCTaylor:
Ok so I need to find a way to some how put my custom rom back into my phone i formatted my SD and now the phone wont pass the Google bootup screen not the system bootup screen just the one that says google and has a unlocked symbol on the bottom. please help me I'm not new to working with this stuff but this is the 1st time this has actually ever happened and I've been looking threw the forums and have came up empty handed.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Assumptions: You have a custom recovery installed.

With the phone powered off, press the power button and volume up at the same time. Select recovery. Hook your phone up to your computer. In recovery, select "mount usb storage". Copy whatever ROM you want onto your phone. Unmount usb storage. Flash the ROM just you just copied over in recovery.
[Nexus S General] ChucCTaylor:
Thank you so much! :D it worked!

Nice, glad it worked.

I was able to side load Hbo on the nook tab and kindle fire but cant get it to work on the nook! It works great on the fire! Any ideas how how to get it to work?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RussianMenace:
What does "can't get it to work" mean? Does it give an error? Does it not install?...

Edit: Just fired up HBO go, it starts to play then hangs with black screen and "HBO GO" logo in the center.

Same here! Works the K fire! Might just keep the fire instead of the Nook!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] blueeyedsusan:
anyone know when/if this will be resolved?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] snooch6923:
why no hbogo

Apparently the problem lies in the stock browser on the Nook Tablet...you can't sign in through this (or other NT available ) browser(s). For example you can't sign in using the Dolphin browser either. I have not rooted yet but have hopes once I do I can get in through opera mini or some other browser as I understand the Hbogo market app hangs on the tablet. Hope this helps...anyone rooted and tried other browsers or does the market app work when rooted as opposed to side loaded?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SLEisenhour:
Got a rooted Nook with a Droid3 build prop and the HBO Go app from the market works great.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mike_IronFist:
Hmm. Well, I've found that some apps just don't work all that well on the version of Android that comes with the Nook Tablet. I've been running a super-early alpha of CyanogenMod 7 for a while though and some apps that never worked on the stock OS work just fine now.

If you're willing to flash CyanogenMod 7 to your Nook Tablet, there's a ROM/Release that's very likely coming next week (you can read a bit about it in the development forum). Right now there's nothing available, but what's coming is looking very promising. You also wouldn't have to sideload it in CM7 - you'd be able to install direct from the Android Market.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] promek:
I have my build.prop set to nexus s and HBO Go works flawless. I think you need to mod your build prop for it to work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] goku31640:
I received the update last night, but when I click on a song to preview it the music does not play. The play button does a little spinning loading animation, then it turns in to a pause button but nothing comes out.

At first I thought my volume was low, so I pressed volume up, but it just turned up my ringer volume. It just doesn't register that there is media playing.

I can download songs and listen to them using the music app just fine, I just cannot preview them before I purchase them.

Is anybody else having this problem?

I have a rooted G2X running the stock room.

p.s. I tried it on my rooted Xoom and it works just fine.

Edit: I should have mentioned that I have rebooted my phone, cleared the market data and uninstalled market updates, but that didn't work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewhansen86:
Same here. Also Im not seeing the Tmobile Free songs, but my roommate on his Mytouch 4G is. Not sure how to fix either of these issues, Ive tried the whole resetting the market thing, but no luck.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] goku31640:
I can see the free Tmobile songs just fine, I just can't preview them
[T-Mobile LG G2x] goku31640:
Update: Turns out I was being impatient. The songs do play, but it takes like 20-30 seconds per song preview to start. My brother and sister both have the same phones as me, and theirs do the same thing. My dad on the other hand has a mytouch 3g and his music previews start up instantly.

I just don't get it. Now the question is how do I speed up the connection between my phone and the Market Google Music servers. I really don't think its my internet, because it does the same thing on wifi, and I have a pretty fast internet connection.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewhansen86:
Your right! I tested today on my phone and its the same, 20-30 sec wait before it plays the previews. I also was able to get my free Tmobile music to show up. I wonder why it takes so long to start up, I wonder if it is also linked to our 15-30 market loading start up too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] goku31640:
Ok, after messing with it for a bit more, I think I'm on to something. I was trying it on my mobile data plan, and I noticed that as soon as I press play the data arrows light up, so it's definitely doing something. Now as soon as the data arrows turn off, the music preview starts. Now I don't know why, but what if it's downloading the entire preview before it actually starts, but even on 4g, 15 seconds for a 90 second clip is pretty slow.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devtodi:
I need a link to a tutorial for the epic 4G please.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyf:
Can anyone explain in a couple of sentences why undervolting is good? Does it save battery life? If so, how much?

Also, how much of an improvement are you getting in tasks like playing and recording video from overclocking? What functions of the phone benefit the most and are there any battery-life effects from it?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mouseglider:
Improvements are small, but everything counts - bad analogy > 10volts uses more electricity than 9volts - if you could make your CPU run at 1ghz with 9volts instead of 10volts, you would be saving electricity, ie battery.

With that being said, lets say CPU's from the factory can run at 1ghz at 10volts plus or minus 1volt, but they set it at 10 volts because they know it will run safely, even though it could run at 1ghz with 9volts. But not all CPU's are created equal - so similar 1ghz CPU from the factory will have some variance. Some 1ghz CPU's instead of saying they run at 10volts plus or minus 1volt, they may have a specification of running a 1ghz CPU at 10volts plus or minus 1/2 a volt - that's why when some people try and undervolt to much, their phone might lock up - and then there are 1ghz CPU's that can't undervolt at all and must always have 10volts to even run.

Over simplified, but you should get the idea. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
So in April when i picked up my G2X i decided to go to the local Tmobile store to get my phone because i didnt want to wait for shipping and for once decided to save a few bucks and get the contract extension rather than pay outright.

when there setting everything up I was told I needed a new sim card for 4G.

I thought that was odd because I was already given a "new" 4G sim for that reason on my nexus one.

I specifically told the clerk i did NOT want the new 5GB plan because of the data throttling and wanted to keep my old plan. he said no problem.

I have since found out the hard way I am now on the 5GB plan and constantly get the throttle text message and its pissing me off.

Ive tried calling Tmobile and I always end up with someone who barely speaks English and doesn't understand what my problem is.

I explain i want my old plan and not to be data throttled and they read from a script explaining it doesnt cut off my internet or charge me extra.

has anyone dealt with this and succesfully got the old plan back?

even with constantly being on WIFI when its available ( and killing my battery )

i go over 5gb and it sucks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
Everybody got switched to 5GB, I don't think anybody wanted it either. You can't get unthrottled data plans anymore. The only thing you could do is "upgrade" to the 10GB plan.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
Well that blows, i was under the impression if you dont change your plan they are obligated to give you the service you've always had.

I havent checked the 10GB price but considering what I am paying now I doubt I will be willing to pay it.

it sucks paying more money for lesser service.

so far in the last few months I feel like Tmobile, My bank,insurance & Sirius have all bent me over & screwed me without dinner or a thank you.... :mad:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
Just curious, how long have you had unthrottled data? I got switched to the 5GB plan back in October of last year.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] meental:
How it was explained to me, T-Mobile always had the 5 gb limit. They just didn't enforce it automatically like they do now. It was hidden away in the fine print way back that 5 gb was the limit for high speed data, they just had no way of actually throttling til they got the 4g network up and running. So we are screwed. I can't even upgrade to the 10gb plan since I'm on and old myfavs family plan so its not an option for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
hard to say, Im a heavy user. stream stern on sirius all work day ( or while the battery lasts unplugged) lots of checking hotmail,facebook, web browsing,texting ext. not many calls

picked up the phone in April and started getting the throttling text messages in NOV

thats what i THOUGHT i was still on. i was supposed to be on the myfaves plan with unlimited android from the G1 days.

seems like these days not only does your dollar not go very far but it seems like you have to take it and like it because there are no better options.

especially with cellular providers.

sucks I finally get a phone how i want and now i cant find decent service for it in south FL lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
The 10gig plan is an extra $60. I have 2 devices with this service And its still not enough. Got throttled in the first week this month. Off to buy a hotspot tomorrow.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
Wait, it's $60 on top of what you're paying for phone/messaging :eek:?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
You are guys are lucky you don't get throttled until 5gb. The two major carriers in Thailand throttle you down to Edge speeds on 3G after reaching 2Gb on one and 3Gb on the other on their so-called unlimited data plans.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ninosmaxima:
You can get a sonic hot spot for 20 a month???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mr_Maverick:
I checked my plan for the first time in ages the other day; did not bother checking because it's been the same for the last 5 years (unlimited everything), and I too found that I was switched over to their 5gb. I'm usually on wifi but I'm not looking forward to getting throttled.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Prod1702:
Hotspot has the speeds as the cell phone data plan. If you use 5gb in a week then the hotspot is not going help you. your going to pay $79.99 for 10gb of data with a hotspot.

[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I run between -50 to -75 depending. And it's stable and no issues. I'm also on the 1.3 kernel at the moment. As for Juice Defender, I run it, and have no issues with compatibility either. Hopefully this helps. Good luck.

After you reboot or just after you exit the app?
