[Q] HELP!!! Cant access recovery mode & WiFi isnt connecting at all [MIUI 1.11.25]

After I upgraded to the new MIUI rom, I noticed that the Gmail app and the Email app where crashing all the time so I thought it would be a good idea to to wipe the Dalvik cache, do a factory reset and reinstall the ROM...

I wanted to clear everything and start new... so I wiped the sdcard, sd-ext, data/cache, dalvik... then i flashed the Miui rom and made a new sd-ext3, made it 1Gb... the phone restarted normally, i installed the a2sd on the sd-ext3, everything was fine, I started re-downloading my programs. but then I restarted the phone and all the program I had installed were gone... and the a2sd+ partition was showing 0.00B of space while myy sdcard was showing that there was 1Gb missing... worse, the gapps (gmail, market etc) were gone... thought another factory reset would solve the issue, so I went into the settings/system/about phone/factory reset... it brought the gapps back but the a2sd was still showing 0.00B of space. not only that, but I couldnt connect to my wifi anymore (it keeps saying "obtaining ip adress")... also, ever since, I cant factory reset anymore... as soon as I do, the phone restart and is stuck in a bootloop... so I have to take out the battery and put it back to switch it on properly...

I tried to reboot it in recovery so that i could both reflash the MIUI ROM and re-install the sd-ext3 with less memory this time... but I couldnt get into the recovery mode no matter what. it was amon ra v2.2.1 recovery... I downloaded Rom Manager from the internet so I could switch recoveries, and I switched to clockworkmod, but still couldn't access the recovery. I thought Rom Manager wasnt not working properly so I tried flashing new recovery image through adb and fastboot, but it wouldnt even let me do it... looked for ways to bypass the recovery mode and flash the rom but it still wouldnt work... :confused: So now im stuck with the phone unable to go into recovery mode.

The phone otherwise still works, I still get and can make phone calls, but I cant connect to the internet unless using my credit, and even that for some reasons does not allow me to connect to google servers, meaning that I cannot use the Market...

How can I get My phone to work properly again?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demoneyes905:
I know you might have done this but I gotta ask the following:

- Did you pull out the battery, put it back in, and hold POWER + Trackball + Volume Down until you got to fastboot. Then select the recovery option?

- Can you please tell me what exactly it said when you tried to flash a new recovery to your phone via adb? What commands did you use to flash it in the first place.

Please provide more details so we can help you.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Is your phone unlocked? If so, the easiest way is to just reflash a recovery image using:

fastboot flash recovery "C:\location\to\recovery.img"

Then you can boot directly into the new recovery by changing the flash command to boot.

fastboot boot recovery "C:\location\to\recovery.img"

Then I would wipe the /system partition and reinstall MIUI.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrs007:
Start a fastboot mode:

+ Download the fastboot http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8180983/N1/fastboot.zip

+ Extract the contents of fastboot.zip to some directory of your

preference

+ Download the su.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8180983/N1/su.zip

+ Copy to the root of SD * Do not extract the contents, simply copy

to the root of SD *

+ Turn off your phone

+ Press and hold the trackball, press the power

+ The phone will connect in fastboot mode

+ Plug the USB cable

+ You will see a highlighted message "USB fastboot"

2 Unlock your bootloader:

<WARNING - This procedure below deletes all your

SETTINGS!>

+ At the command prompt / terminal, go to the directory where you

Drew fastboot.zip

+ If rWindows:

+ Go to Start> Run> cmd

+ Use the cd command to access the directory where you extracted the

fastboot.zip

+ Type-windows.exe fastboot devices

+ In the list will show your device

+ Type fastboot-windows.exe oem unlock

+ If it is Linux:

Run the + terminal of your choice

+ Use the force:), become as root (su -)

+ Go to the directory where you extracted using fastboot.zip

cd

+ Enter. / Fastboot-linux devices

+ In the list will show your device

+ Enter. / Fastboot-linux oem unlock

+ If Mac, use the same steps as replacing the Linux

for fastboot. / fastboot-mac

+ Confirm unlocking

+ Now your phone will accept any customROM:)

3 Install any custom recovery:

- I used ClockworkMod, but there are others, such as Amon_Ra's.

http://mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-passi ...

+ If linux:

+ With the phone connected to usb fastboot mode and type:. /

linux-fastboot flash recovery <caminho/ para/ o/ arquivo/> / recovery-

clockwork-2.5.1.4-passion.img

+ If windows:

+ With the phone plugged into usb mode and type fastboot: fastboot-

windows.exe flash recovery <caminho/ para/ o/ arquivo/> / recovery-

clockwork-2.5.1.4-passion.img

+ If MAC:

+ With the phone connected to usb fastboot mode and type:. /

fastboot-mac flash recovery <caminho/ para/ o/ arquivo/> / recovery-

clockwork-2.5.1.4-passion.img

+ Okay, you installed a custom recovery and now has several

features such as nandroid backup / restore and etc..

- Accessing the custom recovery

Press + power and return to the bootloader menu, you will see an option

called RECOVERY, select it using the volume buttons and press

power to start the customrecovery

and the volume +

+ You are on the menu, scroll using the trackball or the keys

volume, to select, press the trackball
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darksaibot88:
I could get to the fastboot and was selecting the recovery option, but then it was stuck in a bootloop. When I was trying to flash using the command prompt it was saying that there were errors. but Dont worry, I fixed it. Turns out the errors were due to the fact that the command couldnt find the location of the image...

I have a Toshiba Computer with XP on it, Anyways I've been having a Issue with it Turning Off by Itself!!

Anyone know What could cause that?

I Usually keep it Plugged in to the Charger, Could that of Messed up the Battery?

Thanx in Advance!
[General Questions and Answers] st@matis:
yes it is probably overheating
[General Questions and Answers] ExMM:
Yup, I am agree with the poster above. Looks like overheating for me.

Open it up and clean all the dust in the heatsink and in the fan, it should be ok then.

Before open it, unplug your battery and push the power button for a few sec to discharge the remaining electricity in the motherboard, just to make sure...
[General Questions and Answers] GuestK00403:
Is this a laptop or a desktop computer ? Are there any system errors in the event viewer? How old is the computer ? Does the computer reboot or does the screen just go black ? Does this happen after 30 min of use or longer ? Any additional information would be helpful.
[General Questions and Answers] PMGRANDS:
It's a Laptop, there's No Errors, the computers about 4 years old... Basically the Computer Turns On Fine but after about Ten to Fifteen mins. It just Shuts Off Similiar to if you were to Hold Down the Power Button!

It just Started Acting up about a Week ago, before that it Ran Perfect!

I was Considering Pulling the back Off... But will that cause it to Lose All the Memory?

Oh and Thanx Everyone for the Replies!!
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Probably dusty heatsinks and fans, not enough cooling.

-> Overheating

-> Shutdown to prevent damage.

Unless you destroy something in the process of opening your device up nothing will happen except voiding the warranty but thats gone after 4 years anyways.

Google abit there are alot of "take apart guides" on the net. Maybe your device has one too.
[General Questions and Answers] PMGRANDS:

Hi there!

I want to flash a modem on my Samsung Galaxy S II as i get horrible 3G reception, but before i do it i have some questions:

- do i need a certain android version for a modem or will any work

- will flashing a modem affect OTA updating?

- if it does affect OTA updating can this be fixed by just changing back to the original modem?

Thanks.
[HD2 General] FelluRan:
I'm interested in knowing why the Leo is capable of running multiple OS's, is it because of the hardware/software or that it has a hardworking community here in XDA?
[HD2 General] Richy99:
mainly an open bootloader

hardware that is very simlar to other devices running diffferent operating systems

hard work of devs/hackers to get things ported

so basically it is both a combination of hardware and software
[HD2 General] FelluRan:
Thank you very much for anwering!
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
Because it was released just when Android was really starting to take off and because the device itself was ahead of its time as far as hardware goes.

Many devs/chefs got the device because of sheer power and then wanted to have the next big thing (Android) running on it.

The reason why its still going strong and has the biggest dev community on XDA is because the hardware still stands up today and there just isnt any big enough reason to move onto a new device yet.
[HD2 General] hagba:
In addition to the above mentioned, its original WM OS was not very popular after iphone has been released. Besides the biggest asset is that in addition to being ahead of its time, more than 3 million had been sold.
[HD2 General] keller112:
I would guess due to it being released with amazing hardware and an already outdated, perhaps dying OS. And since the bootloader is open and it uses a qualcomm chip, there was no need to upgrade to any other phone cause the HD2 could already run both Android and WP7
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
here is a similar thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1042866

and here is a link to my reply in that thread, seeing as how the facts haven't really changed and the reasons for the HD2's "success" are still pretty much the same:

[HD2 General] null acorn:
Kick ass devs!
[HD2 General] smb282:
Amen to that...when people ask me similar questions I respond with the following illuminating equation that explains my personal love of the HD2:

Antipathy for iphone + (antipathy for Verizon / general satisfaction with TMO) X (killer h/w + killer s/w) + world class Devs + unmatched customizability + economical replacement cost = LEO IS KING!!!
[HD2 General] nathmedlin79:
If Meego is ported, what are the benefits over other OS choices?
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
Hi,

IMO nothing at all. The HD2 is, despite it's "old age", still the best device around, despite other devices with bigger screens - Amoled - other OS's etc. The HD2 remains the most versatile device around, cause it can run (almost) all of the existing OS's around. Orther devices are not capable of that.

regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 General] dazza9075:
Regarding WP, kinda helps that hd2 was used as a test bed for WP too and is the older brother of the NEAR identical hd7, it was luck more than anything, it came out at the right time in the WP development program
[HTC EVO 3D] jamesbrm@gmail.com:
hi i hardly ever post on this site but have been with this site for a few years now.

i am upset with sprint for as it apears we wont get 4g where i live. i had the evo 4g when it came out and bought my wife the epic 4g and i bought the evo 3d when it came out and also the evo view 4g tablet when it came out and bought my son in law a htc 4g device before thanksgiving. i have been getting dropped calls like crazy on my evo 3d lately when i finally decided to call sprint. I talked with one of there reps about my problem and as she started to help me with my phone i jumped on the conversation about wimax in oklahoma. She knew about clearwire running out of funds and no more wimax towers being put up and sprint rolling out lte devices in 2012. and she briefly stated in so many words that these 4g devices are useless where i am at as far as 4g goes. However we do have a 4g tower close where i stay but it is not from sprint!!! I called them earlier this year about 4g signal on my evo 4g and they said it was a tower of some other company i was hitting on. if you go to sprint website and check there 4g coverage map you can se there is no 4g in oklahoma city. My complaint is i have wimax devices that will be and already is outdated wher i am at according to sprint. my wife cant get 4g on her epic neither does my tablet get 4g because it is not sprints wimax towers. The point is i bought these devices under the assumption of 4g data speeds and never recieved its services from sprint and under the contract of wimax devices i feel i have been cheated and so do many other 4g device owners who where promised wimax speeds to there high end devices. And as far as the extra 10 dollars a month i pay for each line is a bunch of bull. Sprint says its a premium data charge for unlimited data use as these high end devices process a lot of data. when you get a max of 1.5 mbps on a good day sometimes 2 on 3g you call that premium? The rep from sprint that i talked to today said she was sorry and gave me there headquarters email address and told me to email them and they most likey will reimburse me. But i might not except that offer and take it a little further with a lawyer on this one. this seems like a lawsuit on sprint from many other promised wimax device owners who bought these phones and where promised wimax network use. Are there others in cities who where promised as well?
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
Sprint marketed wimax as it's new 4G network like everyone would get it eventually. I don't think they actually promised anyone they'd get it but there was assumption everyone would. It's hardly worth having anyway because the band they put wimax on hardly penetrates a single wall.
[HTC EVO 3D] jamesbrm@gmail.com:
You are right, and they did not promise us this, but with high expectations of using these phones for those speeds I and others never used the network capabilities. That these phones have.

CyanogenMod 9 U8160 ROM Status (20121130) [v0.6]:

Working:

2D acceleration (using copybit)

Audio

Bluetooth

Bluetooth tethering (?)

Camera - preview, picture taking, barcode scanner mode

GPS

Lights

Sensors

Telephony - calling, messaging, mobiledata

Touchscreen (multitouch)

USB Mass Storage

USB tethering

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi Hotspot

Swap

zRam (i.e. compcache)

Not working:

Camcorder mode

OMX encoders/decoders (e.g. Youtube HQ video playback)

Issues:

Bluetooth - when enabled, Bluetooth will cause the phone to constantly hold a wake lock, preventing the phone from sleeping. Turn off Bluetooth when you don't need it.

FM Radio - no CM9 radio app yet exists, but libaudio has support included. This means that some third-party apps (e.g. Spirit FM) can work.

Gallery - after installing Google Apps, you will have two different Gallery apps installed. We need to use the legacy Gallery app, because the newer Gallery2 (and Google's version, GoogleGallery) requires OpenGL extensions that our phone cannot support. You are free to delete one of the duplicate applications from /system/app using CMFileManager (in root mode).

Trebuchet - after first installation, the default background wallpaper may be misaligned, leaving some black banding at the sides. This only occurs on first start, and the problem will correct itself on the next reboot / relaunch of Trebuchet.

USB tethering - the phone will freeze if you remove the cable during tethering. Make sure to disable tethering via the menu option manually when you want to remove the phone from the computer.

U8160Parts:

This is my special settings app for our specific device, which you can reach from Settings -> Device -> Advanced. The options available are:

Audio attenutation for speaker, headset and FM audio

Background process limit: this will limit the amount of background processes, which is very useful for low memory phones. Note: This is also a development option in Settings -> System -> Developer options, but if you configure it there, your choice will not be remembered over reboots. Configure from my application instead, and your choice will always be saved/applied over reboots.

SD card read ahead buffer: this is useful if you don't use a dedicated app/script (Link2SD, S2E, etc.) that increases the read-ahead cache for the SD card's sd-ext partition.

Swap: this will enable the swap partition (if it exists on your SD card). Using a swap partition larger than 64MB is not recommended, as it may cause lag. Don't mix regular swap and zRam (compcache)

its been told old phone that were able to run 1.6 can run ICS, and that's a huge step forward by google that we can revive old phone's to increase more speed that they couldn't possibly get before,

i got ICS running on P500 with non overclock scroll was not smooth, on file manager it keeps lagging,

overclocked the CPU and the scrool was smoother than my CM7, it didn't lag as it does with overcloking, and the port did have 780 Ghz overclocked and my rom im using got 806 and still lagging,

with ICS port with no HW Acceleration enabled scrolling was faster, that's what i call an inprovement!

Ello,

With the new deals out I'm stuck debating weather to get the lapdock or get the HP touch for the same price as that lapdock deal currently out. Is it worth it to get the dock over another device? is my real question. I already have webtop fully set with xfce a 15gb partition the image mounts for Debian and mostly don't even use the hdmi deskdock anymore just use my vnc method. So dock or hp touch, I'm leaning to HP touch but mostly its the keyboard on the lapdock that has me stuck. How you guys liking your docks? and anyone that has the HP touch wanna add two cents about thier thoughts I'd appreciate it.
