Hello!

I have a problem that does not look good ... I mean:

This to happen without touching the phone, was on the table and suddenly I've gone to look for my girlfriend warned that received no Whatsapps. I've looked and was half hanged, and as I could not restart, I had to remove the battery.

Well the problem is switched on, after the white screen "HTC" screen stays black again (off) and do nothing and turn it back on again is necessary to remove the battery.

I thought ... well, I will restore from the recovery, for nothing, by accessing the white menu (power button + vol-), choose the recovery and I do the same ... try to enter the recovery but does not enter. ..

Relief! What I can do??

regards
[G2 and Desire Z General] hoffmas:
More details pls. What recovery do you use? What does it say when you try to enter recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z General] viledo:
My recovery is the CWM but I don't remember what version it is...I think it's the last one (5.0.2).

The problem is that the phone can't start correctly, it remains at the "htc" in green homescreen and that's all.

If I try to enter at the recovery, it does the same think and If I try to reset factory defaults does the same also.

I've tried to install the PC10IMG.zip rom (that I've used to root the phone) and it install it correctly but when it finish continue doing the same as before...

Thanks for your coop!

Best regards
[G2 and Desire Z General] hoffmas:
So you can enter bootloader? (Power & volume - ) but from here you cant go to recovery? Do you have eng. Hboot?
[G2 and Desire Z General] viledo:
Hello!

Yes...I can enter at the bootloader and I can also try to enter at recovery mode, but it cant finally enter...

I don't have Hboot (I think,because I don't know what it is) I rooted the phone long time ago and only install the CWM and it has the cyanogen mod rom...

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] hoffmas:
With eng hboot (0.84.2000 - i think) you could try to push a different recovery on your phone, if the recovery is the problem... Another thing you could do is press power + volume up and see if you can enter recovery this way...

There is also a irc channel where devs will help you... But i dont know the name right now
[G2 and Desire Z General] PaganAng3l:
Your problem is clockwork mod recovery.... unfortunately the latest releases cause it to not be able to boot into it. Download and push 4ext recovery and it should be the end of your woes

Edit: The irc channel you're looking for is #g2root on freenode. They'll help, but if you push the recovery and flash a new rom you should be fine.

Why leave infuse for galaxy nexus when the camera is a 5meg and the infuse is a 8meg.. Smh guess the nexus isn't a galaxy series lol shame.. I vote ICS FOR INFUSE!!!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997
[Samsung Infuse 4G] koriotto:
I guess because bigger screen, better processor, and SURELY more attention from Samsung and Developers to work on ROMs tweaks etc, so basicly its better support for the device itself.

Yeah the Infuse has 8mp and the nexus has 5mp but remember the MP`s aint all that matters when picture quality, surely gNexus will be getting better software support overall.

And finally cause its new lol and its the 1rt real ISC device so its logical to expect a bunch of ppl interested on it.

In the end its a matter of personal choice. I support the ISC for Infuse too lol but its something not very probable to see, maybe a port.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GreenAce92:
Sorry...

Care to elaborate on ISC? International Speedway Corporation? ;)

But seriously what is that?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] oldbbman:
Ice Cream Sandwich O/S
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GreenAce92:
Isn't that ICS ? ;)

EDit:

Ahhh I see

Many thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] oldbbman:
The OP was talking about ICS I believe the second poster just put the letters in the wrong order. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pkfasho:
i hear u but..

Indeed,

I do support ICS for infuse.. shoot at least GB for infuse of course, lol but um... my thing is camera mostly because I have a 13month old and she is developing very quickly so its like the infuse is perfect for capturing the moments as they are in perfect quality....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] onthehunt:
I am not able to send emails from my Road Runner email account. Am getting 530 and 535 error messages. I can receive emails fine. Contacted RR and they gave me the correct outgoing server settings. Authentication still failed when sending a message. Tech said that is weird that the outgoing authentication will not recognize my user name and password, yet the incoming settings do because I am receiving emails. Was sent to a 2nd level tech. Still couldn't get it to work. He said to contact Samsung because there is something with how Samsung configures the settings. I called Samsung but email techs are not there on the weekend. Is anyone else using RR email and able to send messages? Or if you had problems sending email and resolved it, how was that corrected? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scoots:
I'm in SC and Roadrunner here does not allow off network use of their smtp server. So in short unless you are sending from a Roadrunner ip address it's going to reject the connection. Maybe that is your issue as well?

I got around it by using gmail as my outgoing mail server. You can go into your gmail settings and there is an option to show the email as sent from Roadrunner rather than gmail so if people reply the email will come back through your Roadrunner account.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] onthehunt:
Road Runner in my area allows mobile access to email. The outgoing server is mobile-smtp.roadrunner.com with a dedicated port number. Using the mobile protocol, I still get a failed message that states "requires authentication." Surely others are using RR email on this phone. Would be great if someone using RR could provide some feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Hello. Thought I'd add my thoughts into the mix, kind of a mini-review but not very well written and missing lots of things.

The hardware is awesome. The screen really is amazing, and in particular I like the way that it displays blacks so well. Because of this you usually can't see the edges of the screen and it looks fantastic, and coupled with the lack of hardware buttons the front of the phone is really sexy. The back on the other hand isn't as impressive, but it's ok. The "hyperskin" is more hyperbole, and doesn't really help you grip the phone much. Overall it's quite slippy really and I do feel I'll probably end up dropping it sooner or later.

The processor seems to handle everything fine and keep everything running smoothly. GPU I haven't really tested with any 3d games so can't comment on that. Battery life I've found much better than I expected, although I haven't done extensive testing on this. Here are the current battery stats, 18 1/2 hours with about 13% left:

I haven't really tried out the camera yet so can't comment on that. Call quality is good. Oh and size, I find it a bit awkward sometimes to pull the notification bar down or to hit the back button in the top left of the screen, ie. in the market app but overall I find the size to be good (I have quite small hands). The light weight and thinness kind of make up for the large size.

In terms of software it's as you'd probably expect - awesome. Face unlock doesn't work well in low-light which is kind of annoying. I'm not sure if I'll keep using it but I like it as on my old phone I only used swipe-to-unlock, so it's a bit more secure with this. I'm not exactly worried about someone taking a picture of me and then robbing me anyway.

The hardware acceleration makes a huge difference. The UI is nice and fluid and it's just really enjoyable to use. There is also an option to force hardware acceleration for apps as well which makes a big difference too. For example Twitter was a bit jerky and laggy before enabling it, yet with it on it's perfectly smooth and fluid. The News and Weather widget however doesn't seem to be accelerated; it's really jerky and slow.

Auto-brightness is something that needs tweaking I think. It's often too low (to save battery no doubt), and needs to be raised a little. On top of that sometimes it doesn't even seem to work properly. Earlier on I was looking at it and thinking how it's too dark and then it suddenly jumped up to a decent level of brightness, even with no change in the ambient lighting. I've seen this a few times so I think maybe it's a bug which needs to be ironed out.

The people app is really brilliant, and the G+ integration is really great (if only more of my friends used it..). The swiping thing they've got going on now in various apps is really good and hopefully we'll see more of it in the future. The dialler app is nice, but I am disappointed that you still can't start typing the letters of your friend's name to bring them up like you can on HTC phones.

That's everything I can think of for now, but overall I love the Galaxy Nexus :D

My friend put my epic on Boost and it works fine. I want to give my phone to my sister but I must put it back to Sprint.

I googled and search but I only see Sprint to Boost but not Boost to Sprint.

Its my phone and ESN is clean.

How do I do that?

Can anyone help please thanks

So you didn't write down the settings that u changed?

[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
Couldn't you just Odin flash to the stock ROM and kernel? It should restore all Sprint settings back. Just need to re-register the ESN to Sprint.
[Epic 4G General] cocochannel:
I didnt do it myself but now im on my own.
[Epic 4G General] cocochannel:
I hope its that simple! Are you sure about that? And how would I go about re-registering with Sprint??
[Epic 4G General] johnbarry3434:
Hopefully you can just go through hands free activation...
[Epic 4G General] quick99si:
Roms, kernels, and modems don't modify provisioning data. I can confirm this with my modified Epic on a $30 SERO plan. This also goes for the MEID, which isn't a legitimate Epic 4G MEID on his Boost-activated Epic. He's going to have to use Google and his brain to repair his meid so it matches what's on the sticker underneath the battery :)

...or just find someone on craigslist to do the repair instead.
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
+1, once you fix your MEID, you'll want to odin to EC05, and upgrade to EI22, once your epic is activated again, hands free activation will provision the rest of the needed info.
[Epic 4G General] cocochannel:
Its already on EI22 and what is "hands free activation"?
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
It's what comes up once you do a Factory Reset on EI22, System Update.apk will initiate it. You'll need to activate that Epic with Sprint before that hands-free activation will work, you also need to fix your MEID if it was changed when you had it with boost.
[Epic 4G General] garyf:
Has anyone actually done this? I ask because in the 3g thread, it has been said that if you lose one of the keys, it cannot be restored and is needed for provisioning.

If someone gets this to work without saving and restoring the original profile passwords, please let us know here.
[Epic 4G General] stackz!:
If you're on the correct rate plan for the phone, Hands-Free Activation/Update Profile will plug in all the necessary data values granted the MEID is the correct one registered to that account.
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
That's exactly what Hands-Free provisioning will provide. Given that you restore that Epic's ORIGINAL MEID, as stated time and time again to you. Lol
[Epic 4G General] pimpin oh boy:
I have just upgraded to a epic touch from the epic what i want to do is wipe all the esn meid from my epic so i can sell it would i just zero out the esn and meid number in qpst would this make it safe to sale thanks for any help
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meloy:
I think i have ****ed up my Phone.

I've flashed 1.8.3 on my AT&T Atrix and then updated to 2.3.4 with the official patch from Motorola. ( From here http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=9098bc50a569f210VgnVCM10000081bbb00aRCRD )

It worked all without problems.

After this i've tried to flash this sbf: "Full 2.3.4 with preinstall root and pudding bootloader unlock, full sbf" ( from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15023030 )

At the end i got a error in RSD Lite:

http://i.imgur.com/I8VRI.png

I tried to flash the 1.8.3 again but got the same error.

When i start the phone now it shows "SVF:105:1:2 Failed to boot 0x1000" and turns off after two seconds.

What to do ?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IUH1991:
If it doesn't give you any options to enter fastboot, RSD, recovery, etc then you bricked your phone :(
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefox3:
If you took the time to read in the dev section it would have told you not to flash to 2.3.4 from Motorola. Reading is important, could have saved your phone

You have to send it in for repair. Same thing happened to me. :/
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotgame740:
these guys don't know what they're talking about. google the error you got, go to the thread on "atrixforums" and follow the instructions. there doesn't seem to be anyone on xda that knows how to fix this for some reason. the same thing happened to my brother's atrix a few weeks ago and it's up and running now
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwarzlichtkind:
I googled it and only found a recovery-solution for a SOFT-BRICK. Please be so kind and post the link to the thread that has the solution for a HARD-BRICK.

The thing that was done wrong here was first flashing up to GB, then down to FroYo again to RECIEVE THE OTA!!! After an OTA he first tried to flash pudding and ended up with error - that can happen, no big deal.

The capital mistake was to flash 1.8.3. AGAIN!!!!

If you had read this thread (it´s A STICKY for good reason!!!!) this would never have happened.

So yes, the guy bricked his phone and if he does not have the Motorola equipment needed to fix that, he has to send it in for repair...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lurchbyrep:
No need to be pissed off with someone who bricked their own Atrix. The playground visciousness of our Atrix forum on XDA is absurd.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwarzlichtkind:
Me? Not really pissed but a little annoyed. The Q&As are full of people posting problems they simply could have solved by reading the instructions carefully and/or using the search. SBF is something to be handeled with greatest care!

What annoys me big time is people who say XDA doesn´t have the solution, claim that it´s written somewhere (just google it...) and don´t provide the link!

The poor guy hard-bricked his phone for sure and I´m sorry for that!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Care to link this thead for us?

If you get the message the OP got you are hard bricked. If you get the message the OP got along with a menu displaying options such as RSD, fastboot, recovery............you have a soft brick from which you can recover.

(Mods: Don't know how you want to put this into something but I think reading through Rom threads this will solve lots of poeples problems)

If you are installing Roms and having problems most others are not. FC/ reboots, just odd things not working that others have working.

Try using Dell Factory Reset (on the white Screen) instead of Streakmod or clockwork mod.

I found this while installing gingerstreak I was having problems many were not, till I came across one last option on another thread. Boom All my odd probems were fixed.

*edit*

Rom Developers: as a habbit, for install instructions you should specify to do this. Might save you a ton of time trying to chase down non-existent problems from people

[Streak 5 Android Development] stang393:
Look through all the rom threads...why else would some people have 2 identical phones, install the same roms, and one FCs? no service etc?

I had always just been using streakmod factory reset...I installed ginger streak 2.4.4 and my Phone app was FC..my SimCard would detect, I had no service.

It was truely odd. and no not EVERYONE knows to use the Dell Factory reset.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Fac resetting with the top menu has been stated hundreds of times.

There has not been one instance where someone said they used the streakmod one and not got corrected about it.

It's like people asking why superoneclick or gingerbreak doesnt work on the newest roms, they didnt look very hard/at all since those too are covered dozens of times.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
To be fair to the OP it doesn't actually state "DELL factory reset" in the Gingerstreak 2.4.4 Release Post

However it does come up numerous times in the rest of the thread...... :)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
I may be missing something here, but I was just wondering:

With the ability to sideload apps, what's the point in rooting? What can you do with a root that you can't do via sideloading?

I could understand if the root was permanent and couldn't be removed via a software update, but as I understand it, this is not the case.

So why root? What are the benefits? I'm willing to give it a shot, but before I do, I really need to understand what the upside is. Possibly I'm just not educated enough on the subject, so if anyone has any thoughts- I'd love to hear them.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pilotguy415:
Ability to side load apps doesn't mean we can get all apps to work. For example: android market, 3rd party keyboards, etc... Will not work on this device without root permissions to change what the permissions of the app is itself. I believe the developer who was able to override the n button to take you to a 3rd party home launcher also requires root. You can remove unwanted apps (chess, whatever other lame games were built in) that you wouldn't be able to otherwise.

MOST importantly (at least for me) you can run titanium backup and backup apps+data to avoid losing info and having to re-download everything all over again in the event of a reset.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Okay, good points, thanks for the info.

I'm a little scared to give this a shot but maybe I'll bite the bullet and try it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bogatyr:
The n button app doesn't require root, least not the original. Haven't check it since then as it worked perfectly for me in the first iteration.

Until we can load CM on it, mine will be staying unrooted. Got everything else I needed with sideloading.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Dfroelich:
You can sideload everything, but will you be able to receive updates?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dang69:
Quite a few of us hope that we can not receive updates. BNs handful of crappy apps really can't benefit from updates and the truncated version of Android they've used doesn't have enough substance to be worth updating. Those of us who have sideloaded this into a modern, useful device often prefer to be left to our own devices (pun intended).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
I think he may have meant can you get updates to the apps you sideload. And I'm pretty sure the answer to that is no. But I could be wrong about that.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dang69:
Ah, you may be correct. If that was the question then what I'm finding is that I'm getting market updates just fine. Some of the apps I have sideloaded from non-market sources are updating too, some might not be but how would I know? The few apps I have needed to copy to the root will not be able to update as far as I know.

My first response incorrectly assumed you meant OTA (over the air) updates of the whole shebang from BN.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bogatyr:
You can always update the same way you got the initial program, sideloading. I haven't had any trouble updating my Amazon Market apps though.

I don't have googles market currently.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lect1984:
Installing adfree is worth it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skeeterpro:
If the sideloaded app installs appropriately then updates should not be a problem. It your choice to accept the update or not.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Dfroelich:
...btw, yes I was referring to app updates, and not OTA.

How do you get updates to sideloaded apps? Do you just download the updated apks and install? I'd imagine that would not be able to save any app data. You could use titanium...but no root!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skeeterpro:
On unrooted devices I have sideloaded apps with when an update to that program is posted by the developer, a notification is automatically sent out. Granted, that is with Market apps but I have not seen a difference between Google Market apps, AppBrain, Amazon or Android Market. Don't recall ever loading anything from BN Market as I never wanted anything from there. They have a habit of charging for apps that can be had for free on other Markets.

You could always manually login and check each app for an update, too.
