[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowcab311:
hope for defy with only white led light turning on. This assumes that you have already have mototola drivers and RSD lite installed.

Background : I only had defy one day when I decided to flash it with miui. I bricked on the first time with bootloops. Did research and got drivers and rsd lite. managed to find three stock t mobile roms and flashed to stock Tom, then flashed miui, since then I've been switching between miui and cm7.

Problem : After a few months of use, I decided to flash stock rom to see how the battery life would be like. Bricked it the first time with bootloops. I thought I had flashed it with wrong rom because the first time I flashed back to original rom I did not delete the roms that I thought were the original roms. So after first failure I tried to flashed with the other roms I had. after the third rom it would not go into bootloader, only white led would turn on. Tried macguiver, did not work so save your usb cable, don't mess with it ain't gonna work.

Two part solution: I realized that when I plugged phone with usb I would hear the usb tone on win 7. When to device manager and saw the other device or something like that was appearing and disappearing when I would connect and disconnect phone. I clicked it and it said Motorola device or something like that, it was sensing my defy! defy drivers were wipe out due to bad flash. I had mototola drivers so I clicked on update and searched for mototola drivers on hard drive. I had rsd lite on and it recognized the defy after driver update, even though the bootloader screen was not on and just the white led was on.

decided to flash rom that have me bootloop and it flashed it but still gave me a bootloop., by the way, the update part of bootloader showed up after a while.

Second part of solution: Please Google defy stock rom!!! googled problem and found out that the phone has a stock recovery. its the robot with the triangle exclamation mark. when you get to it you have to touch the extreme lower right hand corner of the screen to get to where you can wipe data and cache. when you start wiping data / cache you have to press on ok?? on lower left hand of the screen repeatedly until wipe is complete. then reboot and tada it boots up to stock tmo USA defy.

this is the stock rom I used : JORDN_U3_6.36.0

F Y I

if you ever try to flash a rom and it just bootloops, just go into stock recovery and wipe data and cache and you should be able to boot into android.

Sorry, Google defy stock recovery!!!

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejstubbs:
I've done it and can confirm that it does work. Think about it: why would the phone be more likely to recognise the normal battery with no charge plus a jury-rigged 5v supply (bearing in mind that the standard battery doesn't go much above 4v), rather than just the normal battery with a full charge?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timeshare1234:
Hello. I posted a thread last month asking if i was bricked. People then helped me how to solved my problem. The problem was that i deleted the Android operating system on the phone. It stayed on a screen that sayed no OS detected and then gave me a list of things to do to fix it. After they took me to the steps to root, unlock, and upload the ROM CherryBlur i was fixed. The thing is i only have Cherryblur, if i delete that rom i will have no OS. Can someone please help me to get regular andoid OS back on my phone?

Hey all,

picked up my tab 10.1 yesterday and loving it! One niggle i'm having that cant seem to solve is that when you type a search into the address bar on the browser, it defaults to the google.com version, and therefore when im looking for some things it brings me back to dollars and US websites! (Im in the UK :p)

does anyone know how to change it so that it searches on google.co.uk instead?

Thanks!

[HTC Inspire 4G] jamespaulritter:
Can you tell me the benefit or the main reason(s) why you rooted your Inspire?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmurphy0487:
My main reasons are the ability to change whatever I want. And better battery life.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Dinman:
Are you serious?

Not to sound mean, but have you ever searched Google or this forum before you thought of asking?

There is tons of information on here... just sayin

sent from my secret agent phone in my shoe
[HTC Inspire 4G] jamespaulritter:
Yes I searched. There are no search words that will return results showing specific reasons why a member prefers a custom rom over the stock rom. In older devices a custom ROM would allow you to tether for free, remove bloatware to make room for 3rd party applications, remove buggy 2nd party software, remove unnecessary apps to allow the system to run faster, allow the customization of the UI when it was otherwise un-modifiable or fix glitches that made it through testing on the stock ROM but that doesn't seem to be needed on the Inspire. This is the first device I haven't hacked because so far it seems to be unnecessary. I could read custom ROM threads all day but finding a post where a user cited an issue relieved by using a custom ROM or a major benefit (that's not a trivial figment of their imagination) would be one heck of a needle in a haystack search. So it would be great to get this specific info into a thread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] seggerman5926:
Custom Roms.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Phateless:
I prefer stock Android to sense and hate bloatware. I won't buy a phone now until cm7 is available.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
wait, what? All the things you just said that aren't needed in the stock rom without rooting are actually all reasons why people root the inspire. If you have found another way to remove bloatware without rooting please pass on that information so that those who simply rooted to remove the bloatware can do so without having to go through the entire rooting process. Without rooting you there are a lot of helpful apps you can't run, you can't remove bloatware, you really can't customize anything significant in the UI..I mean really the only reason why I rooted was to remove the pesky bloatware (sorry I just hate looking at blockbuster apps and that stupid teeter game)...the added bonuses of full customization in AOSP roms and the ability to have the performance tweaks in every other rom/kernel just made the decision easier. If you like the stock rom and see nothing wrong..keep on moving, no reason to fix something that isn't broke...I just like having full control over my device..it's for some, it's not for everyone..just my .02 cents
[HTC Inspire 4G] whynot_:
+1, pretty much summed up my response.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jamespaulritter:
Thanks, I agree. I hate seeing the blockbuster app. I actually went looking for an Obfuscate app to hide it. We use to have to remove the bloatware to make room for 3rd party apps because there was limited ROM. Meaning back in the day we got '32 megs, 64 megs' whatever for apps we wanted so we had to remove bloatware. Its not the issue it once was because now we get 1Gb, 2GB...... The reason I'm asking is because I was thinking of rooting so I could tether reverse wifi. So i'm looking for reasons to take the plunge.
[HTC Inspire 4G] xxprolmracerxx:
rooting my inspire has made it like a completely different phone. actually, each custom rom is almost a new device itself.

but as far as perks, i like the better battery life, full customization, speed increases (data, smoothness, overclocking, etc.), constant updates, and just the joy of trying out different roms. the definite BEST perk of them all is the simple fact that you can find support for each rom from their respectful devs (not all, but the majority of the popular roms out there). HTC and the various service providers always have terrible support.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
Yeah man, the droid milestone (the first smartphone from HTC that I remember having) was awesome in regards to bloatware. I was able to remove pretty much anything I wanted, not the case now unfortunately :mad:. Pretty much the benefits of rooting are that you get full control of your device, in pretty much every aspect. As for tethering, I'm not 100% that its supported in every ROM but I'm pretty sure there are some out there, if that's what your immediate reason for rooting is I would say start asking in the Q&A in each ROM or hopefully someone else can chime in to help you out. Like I said I rooted to get rid of the dumb bloatware, getting the performance tweaks, battery life, and customization (for most roms but more so in the AOSP ROMs) were just added bonuses:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Phateless:
Take control of your device. Imagine being locked out of the C: drive on your computer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pazzo02:
Oh just root it already! When you use the Ace hack kit, you can't even tell it's rooted. If you like it just the way it is you can keep it that way. If you don't, try some different ROMs. You can always flash the stock ROM back (or restore it if you backed it up).
[HTC Inspire 4G] unclecyclops:
If you don't have a huge desire to root, it may not be the thing for you. I'd still recommend rooting though, you wouldn't regret it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Phateless:
You'll be thinking about rooting it until you do.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mat1371:
I wanna buy a wp7 device. But I don't know to buy what?

Omnia W or HTC radar?

The omnia w CPU clock speed is higher than radar but I couldn't found a benchmark comparison for them. And I don't know which one is faster.

And about price which one is cheaper (Unlocked versions)?

Is it worth to wait for lumia 710?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domineus:
I highly recommend the omnia w

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkVasyaK:
Well, the worst thing about Omnia W is camera, unfortunately... If it was good I would definately take it, but it seems that the only choice for me is Nokia Lumia 800, despite the brand, which I don't like at all.

I wonder why Samsung doesn't want to start selling of its Focus S in Russia :(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henchturk:
What ever happened to that samsung with the massive screen?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtboos:
Thats the Samsung Focus S. 4.3" screen.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domineus:
and the device has several SEVERAL issues...it's actually quite bad in comparison to everything else
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
The Lumia 800s camera didn't get too great reviews. A lot of the issues with the camera is due to the Microsoft Camera Software. The Focus S uses the same famed camera as the Galaxy S II phones, but it produces all-around worse results on the WP7 device because the software isn't as good.

Samsung did add a few features to it that OEMs like HTC didn't, though, so props to them for that!

And to the OP, I'd definitely take the Omnia W. The Radar looks like a Chic phone...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mat1371:
Please tell me which one have better benchmark results and is faster?

HTC Radar or Samsung Omnia w
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nudua:
Probably the Omnia W, it has a 1,4Ghz CPU where the Radar only has a 1Ghz. Same GPU though.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mat1371:
Are you sure?

Samsung doesn't have a good history.

Is it (will it) possible to install custom ROM on Omnia W.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guiboune:
For me the Samsung Omnia W is better than HTC Radar ! But if you can, take the lumia 800, an update from Nokia comes to improve the battery as well and the camera!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tienthanh080:
I think HTC should choose
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mat1371:
lumia 710 have better benchmarkresults than htc titan.

Is it faster than Htc Radar? Any user exprience?

2G is GPRS which being in India, i have never seen on my phone in past 10 years, even in remote areas, there is EDGE which is 2.5G network and manages a 10kbps speed minimum (that's for villages too)

My wife has the epic 4g and loves it but a while ago I updated her phone from di18 to dk28 and after wards realized that she's not able to accept OTA's. Well last night she wanted her phone to be able to get the update so I researched how to use Odin and attempted using it but every time I ran it, it would hang up during flashing. Well now I can only access 2 screens, download mode and the phone.....error sign....computer and Idk how to fix it if I even can. It wasn't rooted or anything so I can take it to sprint without a problem but I just wanted to see if I could fix it myself without having to hassle with them.

Sounds like a bad cable. You can try it a few more times until it goes through. Also try it with the sd card out and the battery out. The computer will be the power source. Have Odin up and ready, with all out as mentioned plug the phone into the computer and quickly get it into download mode and Odin should work. It won't reboot at the end without a battery in. So after completion, pop the battery in and it should boot to stock EC05. At first try with only reboot box at top checked.
