I just recently upgraded my OB into v20a gingerbread chinese rom.. after upgrade my computer cant recognize my phone as an android device. Therefore i cant root it. But in recovery mode my computer can detect it so i tried flashing v10a directly but failed.

All lg drivers and pc suite are already installed. Im using windows vista 32bit. I ke

ep getting this message from my pc: found new hardware cdc serial. Found new hardware B project. When usb debugging is on.

Please help me.

im new here and its my first post.

Thank you.
[LG Optimus Black] Redpik:
You need this kit. Put tour phone in download mode by pressing volume up while inserting usb (phone off). Then flash with KDZ updater.
[LG Optimus Black] deckardcain:
I already did that.. i tried flashing v10a.nothing happened. Kdz stop responding. Is it possible to downgrade directly to v10a from v20a?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus Black] Redpik:
Try here . Hope it works. There are more combinations, but it will work.
[LG Optimus Black] deckardcain:
it wont for me, i did everything they did on that forum, downloaded everthing but the R&D test tool just wont work on my PC. i cant press anything. only the box saying merge 250-390 mb files.

i did turn windows enabler on and off.

Do you know where i can download the v10a ROM in fls and bin format? im going to use smartflash tool instead.

thank you so much.

EDIT:

PROBLEM SOLVED

THANKS FOR HELPING MAN.

I have the same problem. How did you do to get it solved?

I used a 64bit computer. Installed all the LG drivers. And used the R&D test tool.
[Motorola Droid 3] Accophox:
I know people hate these threads, but I have done as much research as I could before posting, and just want to confirm if my understanding is right...

I have a Canadian (Bell) XT860 -- don't worry, it's fine.

We now have options to restore this phone from a bricked state by flashing (using RSDlite?) either a Brazillian 2.3.5 image, the ME863 image, or a third that was mentioned but I could never find.

My understanding of this as far as development goes is that we don't have a safestrap that works yet, which prevents truly custom android f/w from being made for our phones... but as we do have an option for recovering from a bricked state, people can be more adventurous without worrying nearly as much.

Am I missing or wrong on anything here?
[Motorola Droid 3] LaZiODROID:
Yes, RSDLite is the program you would use to flash a stock SBF to your XT860.

There is the Chinese ME863 rom, and most recently the Brazilian XT860 rom. What is this 3rd one you heard of... where is it from, which carrier?

Safestrap didn't seem to work for XT860 (I think) or ME863 rom users (this one I'm sure of, as I tried it myself), but I recall when I was on my stock Bell XT860 rom, Bootstrap worked (problem was, there weren't any ROMS to play with - and I believe there still aren't any roms yet.) Hopefully this Brasil stock rom will help move things forward.
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
Until we get "SBF" that can bring us back to original Bell firmware, we can't really get truly "adventurous", since there is no way to bring phone back to factory state if you have to send it for service. Let's hope such recovery will be leaked/found for us soon and we can really get adventurous.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
I've been talking to Hashcode on and off on IRC for the past few weeks and we've been messing around with my bell xt860 when he's had the time. Unfortunately with his ICS port, patching safestrap (Hashcode mentioned just last night that he believes he's traced down the problem with safestrap on the xt860) etc he's extremely busy. He's mentioned a few times that he's working on a project or two for the xt860 that should get us moving along (ie patching safestrap I think), hopefully it's enough to know that devs(Hashcode) are still looking into the issues we have on the xt860.

With that being said, I have an idea or two I'm gonna try out here. I'll post results when I'm done. There are also a lot of other bright people who are giving things a shot, a few people are recompiling modules and trying to get cm7 working etc, it's ongoing but no ones had any progress to report yet unfortunately. It is ongoing though :)

Edit:No love, bricked for the moment. I've tried building and flashing a few roms, some I knew wouldn't work but a few had no reason not too, like a bell xt860 rom but for some reason all end with same results, sitting at the "M", not reaching the boot animation. Some difference between the verizon and our model in terms of boot.
[Motorola Droid 3] Accophox:
Okay, thanks for the clarification everybody.

So - we're just missing a way to get back to Bell XT860 from Brazil/China XT860, but the workaround seems like it's just a matter of getting recovery to work and flash backups of the original software.

And - it sounds like we're fairly close to a breakthrough in getting bootstrapping enabled, which means that we're hopefully not too far off from a de-blur'd XT860.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
One of the problems we might run into is not being able to flash back to our bell kernel without an sbf from bell.
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
..as well as the Radio Firmware. Those can only be restored by SBF
[Motorola Droid 3] goalando:
Just to thank willis and endoroid I succesfully installed safestrap and liberty rom

the only thing its that it gives me an error when I switch to spanish language (I'm from mexico) on com.android.settings when selecting	applications menu..

And also market closes.

XT860 Liberty ROM rooted and overclocked to 1200
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I saw.on the liberty thread some other ppl have had market FC issues. Apparently the.solution is to just keep reflashing until it fixes. Although you may.wish to try clearing market data.first to see.if that clears it up
[Motorola Droid 3] Accophox:
Clearing market data doesn't help, along with force closing.

Happens when you start trying to download an app... then just cyclic FC.

It's just reflashing and praying. (I got it on the second attempt)
[Motorola Droid 3] goalando:
Well now im using steeldroid it works perfect

Guys there is a problem when I use the speaker when making online calls eg viber and tango. There is a strange noise but it only occurs when using the speaker. If the person I am talking to mutes his Mic then the sound stops. So it is a problem with outputting the sound. But the speaker works fine during normal phone calls and games and music etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadadam96:
Help?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyperbolic:
Sounds like a typical white noise VOIP.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadadam96:
I don't think it is white noise because as the volume increase the sound does. If the volume Is low or the person isn't speaking the sound is low.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadadam96:
The sound increases as the persons voice increases and his voice sounds robotic. It sounds a bit like a police siren.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] allendoc:
Hello all,

I travel A LOT for work. I have been to Bahrain with my Infuse before, switch Sims, works like a champ... I was on REFUSE back in Sept last time it worked.

This trip I am on CM7, and I have every modem, so I know it is not a modem issue, but neither my AT&T sim or my Zain sim will get service. In my Xperia Mini, both Sims work. Odd thing, AT&T sim will tell me I have a voice mail, but will not connect to a tower.

In the States, both Sims work, and the phone has worked here in the past. I have even flashed back to stock, and still no joy.

Is there a way to make the towers think I have an i9000, that is the only thing I can think that it could be, but it used to work... Imagine going from an Infuse to a Xperia Mini, my eyes are killing me....

What am I missing? Those that have seen me in DEV section, I always figure things out, but now I am asking for a fresh idea for you guys, I need it... Allen
[Samsung Infuse 4G] PVD04:
I had some problems with some of the more recent modems in both Kuwait and Qatar. Then, after switching back to an older modem it took more than 15 minutes for me to finally connect to a network. I think I went back to UCKI4 and it worked for me, but again, it took a long time to finally connect. I'd try one of the older modems and just letting it sit for a while to see if it'll finally connect for you.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] allendoc:
Being you are in Dubai, your reply is my best hope... I have every single Gingerbread modem in my CWM_ZIP folder except UCKI4... I just flashed it, will leave in on over night to see if she finds a tower, I am sure you too had to catch Zain towers, so I have hope....

Has anyone ever used a FROYO modem on Gingerbread... Refused was on UCKD5 when I was working in Sept, but I have been scared to try a FROYO modem... I do not have my Download Dongle with me, so I do not want to Soft Brick my phone over here....

I want to move my Zain sim over, but I need it talking to a tower for work, so I am hoping that the ATT Sim finally works on UCKI4. Thanks again for the tip, hope it works.... Allen
[Samsung Infuse 4G] allendoc:
No luck... I even managed to soft brick my phone, and no jig here... Could not find any 100 ohm resistors, but I did find 4 1200 ohm, and in parallel I will get the 300 ohm to pin 4 and 5... Then I am going to try Refuse again and see if it still works. I miss my Infuse, but love Bahrain.... What to do...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] allendoc:
I have now learned that a 500 ohm rheostat (like used on Guitars for Volume) is the best way to get 301 ohms, so I was able to get the phone back, flashed complete original stock rom...

Still NO SERVICE.

Currently back to 2.2.1 UCKD5 (tear)

Status page shows:

Network Unknown

Signal strength -51 dBm 31 asu (This is a good signal strength)

Mobile network type UMTS (She sees a 3G tower)

Service State Out of Service

Roaming Not...

Mobile network state Disconnected

Please someone one, I am stumped... How can a phone go from working, change a few Roms, softbrick a few times, then NOTHING...

Hmmmm, Service Mode..... RAT Selection Option is Restricted, did I lose my Break?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] allendoc:
Is it possible I corrupted my nv_data.bin file... Even after I format, reflash, no luck.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
hi, allen. Just a dumb question. Does apn settings have to be changed?

or a factory reset does all that?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] allendoc:
As luck would have it, i fixed it today. I already had an APK for System Toolbox. A app for the Captivate. Under Hidden Codes (sgs users) , select service mode and gsm 900 was off. I just selected all bands and I am now on UCKL2. And after 2 Weeks I am using my Infuse is talking to the tower, life is good.

The APN is for 3G and MMS not basic calls. I am on a prepay Zain Sim so i don't want that working...

I know i should be able to find it in here somewhere, but i simply can't. I even did this on another handset i had earlier... I want to have custom icons for Phone and Messages on my lockscreen.

I obviously also want the notification counter on these icons, for that i downloaded GO Launcher EX Notification. So if i could only find a way to put Messages and Phone on my lockscreen with custom icons, i'll be very happy...
[HTC Sensation] htchd282:
I have seen a small improvement by charging before I go to bed, unplugging it from the wall and leave the phone on during the night with WIFI on and no apps running.

When I do that, and wake up in the morning, the battery is still at 100% and I can get a good day with heavy use, and a day and a half with moderate use easily.

However, last night, I needed the phone to be on as I was on call for work this morning so I charged it and then unplugged. But turned WIFI off as I did not want whatsapp msgs to disturb.

No apps were running, and the signal is just as strong as always (which isn't great but is is the same as always), but when I woke up after 8 hours, the battery has completely drained overnight to an alarming 12%!!

When I looked to see what was using the battery, Cell Standby has used 39% and Phone Idle 40%, the screen was only on for 3mins during that time.

My settings for apps are that they only sync manually or when opened, so nothing was running.

When I looked at the awake time, it shows that the phone has not been awake.

So I cannot understand why by turning WIFI off, the phone will drain overnight!

In a normal day Cell Standby and Phone Idle contribute very little to the battery usage in my case, but I just can't understand what has caused this to happen.

Any help appreciated, as I am quite alarmed thinking that my battery can die overnight when it has not been used.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
I had the same problem! I left my phone at 100% and turned it off over night. And the next morning it was at 7%!!

Sooooo many problems with the sensation, I am soon change my phone.
[HTC Sensation] steini81:
In your pictures i can see that you have bad signal. With this bad signal the phone will try to get a better signal all the time and this uses much battery.

Try it over night at a place with better signal and look how much battery it uses. And you can charge to 100% and then wipe batterystats in recovery maybe that helps.

I have similar problem Hi friends,

I use faux123 kernel for 2 weeks + ARHD 4.1.7. All things was good, in sleep time my phone was not do any drain. I meen if the battery was fully charged it was 100% at morning (phone was set to flight mode) and even after starting the phone it was staing at 100% for one hour. And i was get 18 hours for hard working with it.

But it's 2 days it drains so fast. It drain 20% of battery in 5 hour sleep time in flight mode. And i just have 8 hour to work with my phone.

Do you know wath is problem?

wath should i do?
[HTC Sensation] steini81:
Did you install any new apps or changed some settings in an app wich can cause this drain?

Wiped batterystats in recovery?

Did you change the CPUFREQ? Because i think faux kernel is at 1,7GhZ after flashing it. You can use faux clock to change the Kernel settings.

[HTC Sensation] htchd282:
I have always the same signal, it varies from 2 to 4 bar, when I took the screenshot went down to 1 but I normally have a bit more.

So, with the same signal and WIFI on, when I wake up in the morning I still have 100%, this is what I don't get!
[HTC Sensation] nDman.sk:
Not any power using app, just 2 game without playing them.

The latest official faux kernel's clock is 1.566 max.

I do use System tuner to control CPU and under volting.

This can make problem?
[HTC Sensation] reneover:
Did you download the latest fota update?

Because this update gave me also a huge drain in battery life. My solution was deleting my htc peep account in synchronization & accounts.

The drain was gone afterwards
[HTC Sensation] htchd282:
The latest FOTA is not available on three uk yet, and I am on stock rom.

Haven't installed any apps in the last week...

The only trigger was turning WIFI off, hence why I am confused:confused:
[HTC Sensation] shadow_wing:
Bcuz with your WiFi on the phone is not switching through data signals which uses less battery. I live in a bad signal area. So calls work great but data signal is crappy, goes from 2G to 4G to 2G..so with WiFi on for data there is no need to constantly try to grab a better data signal.
[HTC Sensation] htchd282:
But data was also turned off, and I am only on a 3G network, not 2G available with my carrier.:confused:
[HTC Sensation] htchd282:
My point here is that when I go on hols soon I will not be using data as I will be abroad, and WIFI only once a day maybe as I will be out and about.

So from last night's performance, does that mean I will only get 8 hours??

It is weird...
[HTC Sensation] kkndgr:
I was getting some insane battery drains my self after flashing the ARHD 3.X.X the one turning the sensation to XE , allthough I had very good signal and my phone fully recharged in the morning was like 61% for uknown reasons then I jumped to ARHD 4.1.7 and since then everything is fine .I don't understand though why some people blame the phone for it.to me it appears to be more like software tweaks and twists related to battery management the sensation is amazing phone I have it for a month and honestly I never regret the day i picked it when I had to make the choice senny or sg2
[HTC Sensation] nDman.sk:
Ok, it sims i was messed with some bad tweaking.

I did a full wipe and reflashing the rom and all other things and now it works fine.

No drain in sleep time and now it's 8 hours my phone is on battery and still battery is %100 full.

My project includes an application running on a PC(w/ Windows of course). and an android app wirelessly connected to the PC. Both application should be able to communicate with each other sending and receiving request from each other. I'm particular with database. How can they access the same database located on the PC. Also, can the android access files like pictures from the PC and use it in the app. I'll really appreciate any help becuase this is very crucial for my graduation

Can we install themes like mac theme in windows 8 like in windows 7?
[Windows 8 General] Zephnath:
I am sure it is possible to create one. Using the themes already created for Windows 7 systems, probably is not a good idea though. With the changes made to Windows Explorer, and even to the theme files themselves, you are better off not trying it, unless you’re ok spending some time trying to undo things if something goes wrong. If you do feel the desire to try it out, use a Virtual Environment (vmWare or virtual box work good)
[HTC Sensation] GR36:
This is bound to have been covered lots and if so I apologise now.

But i have narrowed it down my search of phones to the sensation. Now I don't know if to go for the XE or normal. I doubt the 300mhz makes much difference does it. And I'm not really bothered about the beats audio to be honest. But my head tells me I should go for the newer version.

Any thoughts or links to comparisons.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] HMZX:
The sensation is actually underclocked. The CPU speed is actually 1.5Ghz, but HTC underclocked it to 1.2Ghz.

You can just get a sensation, install a custom rom and it will be exactly like a sensation xe with beats.

Only difference will be that you wont have the red capacitive buttons...
[HTC Sensation] Surtalnar:
No, the Sensation XE got a better screen with improved color intensity and contrast.

And 1.5 GHz for the normal Sensation isn't manufactor-approved, so the normal Sensation could be to warm, if overclocked.
