[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joegerardi:
Well, obviously I'm still doing something wrong. I restored the phone to stock using the CWN Recovery of the NANDROID backup I did when first attempting this. I then started over:

Up and down held down while inserting the USB cable.

From ODIN I select the CMW tar in the PDA, and that installs and reboots the phone.

Shut down phone and re-start with up and down keys depressed, USB cable out

Select Install zip from SD card

Select the Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip (or the deodex, doesn't matter)

down 7 times to select

then I get this error:

Selecting SU Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:can't open /sdcard/Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

I get that no matter how many times I've tried to install it, and even after fixing permission, and even if I try to install it off the internal USB storage.

Any one have any ideas?

Thanks,

..Joe
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joegerardi:
Correction...

It doesn't like the SD card. I installed the deodex file from the internal USB storage, and this time, it finally took! Thanks to everyone for all the help.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kostistheo:
hi i have the exact same problem. Can you please explain what is a deodex file and how you installed it? thanks :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobby3306:
i got the same error when rooting, however upon rebooting and going into my apps superuser had installed and was working even after receiving the error
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kostistheo:
sorry but i'm a bit confused here..my apps? what's the exact path to that?

I basically get that error, leaving me without root privilages, the only thing accomblished is the s-off. But without root access, i cant do anything.

Also, after that, my phone's reception is gone...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobby3306:
the exact path to apps would be phone reboots, then upon reboot pay close attention here... upon reboot i click my app drawer, BAMMM theres my apps.. now i cycle thru until i get to the S section and look for super user...lol

I had this problem too, just do this:

Before attempting to install the SU zip again, wipe Dalvik cache

(under "advanced" in CWM recovery)

Then install the SU zip

I tried restoring a backup of a stock ROM, but upon start up, it comes up with the tutorial setup to find it hasn't restored any of my applications, only my system settings. Can someone explain what the hell is happening?:confused:

By restoring a backup in CWM. It just doesn't seem to restore any applications.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
Can't say what your problem is there, but it might be worth investing in titanium backup pro (batch restore saves a lot of time and effort). Hope you get your apps back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave2:
I use Titanium Backup already :P It's just easier using a nandroid back up for me. Didn't back up in Titanium Backup unfortunately but I managed to retrieve me apps by using App Extractor to extract the applications and contacts from the nandroid backup :)

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rklomp:
I tried to flash a custom rom to a defy, but after flashing i got a bootloop.. After that i have tried everything to get a normal working installation but everything failed.

Now i am stuck with a phone that does not want to boot and even cannot get into the bootloader... So i cannot flash using RSD Lite.

Is there another way to unbrick this phone? Or is it end of story?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeonardoJegigzem:
can you enter on CWM??
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farsight73:
1) Remove battery

2) Plug phone to PC

3) launch rsdlite (make sure rsdlite driver's is already working properly)

4) Press power and vol+ , and insert battery.

5) Defy screen might still blank but rsdlite would show status connected.

6) flash back your default sbf

7) boot into stock recovery and do factory reset.

8) reboot.

Note: if your defy is in full flash over gingerbread sbf, you're in trouble. Flash again any gingerbread sbf might help for quick resurrection. If your defy is in froyo, try flashing only froyo, otherwise if you're desperate, gingerbread sbf would help. You're warned for no possibility of downgrade.

Note 2: Battery must at least 80% and above to safely flashing and recovering process.

What file did you flash??
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rklomp:
I made a nandroid backup first. Then i tried to install MIUI rom and that did not boot. Tried to restore my nandroid backup, but it did not work. After that i have tried to flash a lot of sbf files but all did not work correclty. Also putting back my nandroid backup was not working.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gommers1978:
Your battery is fully loaded?

What happens when you plug in the loader (powercord with adapter in AC plug) when phone is off, is there a battery loading icon appearing?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rklomp:
Nothing happens.. not even the power led turns on.

The last time i flashed it was almost fully loaded.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gommers1978:
When you turn it on the screen stays black or does the M logo appear?

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gommers1978:
If there is no white led or anything im afraind you have to send it for repair.

In the Netherlands i have a very good experience with:

Last thing you can try is to turn the phone on with vol down but i think you have allready tried that.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shyd:
I have the same problem. I come from 2ndinit cm10 and wanted to revert back to cm7.2 but my defy failed to boot. After that I flashed FIXED.French.3.4.2-164.RETAIL.sbf

I hoped that might flash the kernel (home, back buttons were dark due to cm10). I got the red M back and a bootloop.

So I tried some sbf's I had on my hdd. Now the battery is at 3,3v and rsd lite doesn't get the phone. When I apply 5v (like the McGyver hack) the voltage drops to about 4v because the battery is being charged (dangerously I know).

Anyway rsd lite sees my defy again, I am able to flash. But when it should reboot, rsd sais PASS and the screen stays dark.

Connecting usb causes the charging led go on.

How can I bring the device back to life?

Thanks

That doesn't work. The screen stays black except I flash a sbf with externally powered battery.

I am not able to see the bootloader or recovery.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mavasilisk:
I had this problem, try different sbf's. The first 2-3 that I tried which gave me a blank screen were too old (from 2010) and the last one was from 2011 which was successful. Try with sbf from 2011.

Do you still know what sbf's you have tried and which one did it's job?

Did you try also this special fixed JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf from this guide ?

Hi guys, need some help, im using cm7.1 rom and it has adwlauncher by default, and i just downloaded adwlauncher ex and when i press home button it keeps asking to choose launcher all the time. I cant delete defaulted adwlauncher. Is it any way to may adw ex as default? Thanks for help
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenRoark:
Don't worry about deleting ADW. It's in the ROM's inherent system framework. It doesn't matter if it stays.

But in terms of the "Launcher Chooser" dialogue box, are you saying that it doesn't have the little option button to remember ADW Ex as the default launcher???

So I'm having a problem with my contacts and FB not showing pictures.

For most it auto links and shows their pictures.

However for the ones I need to link manually, I can find their name under "FB for HTC" but it doesn't show a picture.

Full stock.

Anyone got a fix for me?
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
I had that issue where the names did not match where I manually linked the two, I got it to work eventually, but don't remember how. I might have been something simple like a reboot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
So you linked them but the pictures aren't showing? Usually this happens during the initial fb sync when there isn't a consistent connection. So go to your fb setting and for contact sync.remove it and then sync it again. it should load up all the pictures after like 30 minutes.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Will give it a try.

How do you log out of FB for HTC Sense? I have contact photos just fine, but under View Contact, the Events and Updates aren't updating (the photos are there in the photo gallery). So I thought I would "disconnect" FB for HTC Sense and then retry it and re-sync it, but don't know how.

[HTC Sensation] dansharpy:
Ive been getting a bit fed up recently with all the moany threads in the Sensation forum so ive decided to post my own.

Ive got no problems at all!

I never have any serious or noticeable lag. All the ROMs i try i find to be fast and smooth, a credit to the devs that spend hours making them. If i find something i want it to do i can always find an app or mod or ROM to accommodate that need. I find the build quality to be more than acceptable. I dont have a screen cover or case and (probably due to the fact i look after it) i dont have any scratches or defects on it at all! I came from a Nokia N97 (a long time ago!) to HTC in the form of the Desire HD, and i have never looked back!

Basically i am very happy with my Sensation and will definately be getting a HTC for my next phone!

P.S. I have a Sensation XE but seeing as its all the same hardware i dont see this makes any difference!

P.P.S. Flame/hate/use this thread to knock the Sensation/HTC as much as you like, i dont care. Im happy with mine so dont honestly care how rubbish you think HTC or the Sensation is!

Ive searched for an answer to this and can only find htc desire users who have the same fault ive read there devices were getting a usb brick after flashing is it also possible on our incredible s ?

My usb isnt recognized at all on my mac or pc no matter what rom i flash currently im using nikki's 2.5

I never flashed the phone originally i received it flashed with s-off etc

I can use my sd card in an external usb reader fine so thats not the problem

The phone charges fine but i cant mount it ive tried 3 different usb cables and 2 different computers so i cant imagine there the problem!

i obviously have tried all the common fixes usb debugging connect as hard disk etc. but thats obviously not the fault and since the phone is charging im thinkin the usb slot is fine?

Has anyone else here had a similar problem and is there a fix for this like the desire fix http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=691187

Hey,

Had this phone for a week and the auto brightness is just terrible.

Workaround of sorts

I had same problem, found that I could unlock after plugging in USB cable, howver to a blank screen. Found that continuous tapping on Home button on case would allow load of desktop to complete , again - continuous tapping of home was needed .

While tapping was able to activate wifi settings and SlideMe (from desktop toolbar/widget) , and installed ICS Launcher , make it the default and it seems to be usable again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atrac88:
Thanks, arusty1, for that information. I was able to get the ICS Launcher installed and that seems to help get to the home screen, launch apps, browse the web, etc.

The only thing that is still not working is the SD Card storage. I can't seem to download anything (such as the amazon app store). Inserting an SD Card tells me that it is being used as memory but then safe to remove.

These tablets are pretty hosed. But at least your suggestion got it useable for now.

Hi there,

I noticed some Wifi issues when I'm playing online poker, ot disconnects every 2 minutes (i guess it reconnected).

I enabled international channels in settings, without success :/

Maybe the errors comes with the poker app?

I don't see the Wifi Icon reconnecting when I'm browsing the web or watch videos on youtube...
[Kindle Fire General] gloos:
What app is it? If you say the wifi works with every other app then you answered your own question. Try to uninstall the poker app and clear the cache for it, then re-install after rebooting the device. If it doesn't work then contact the publisher.

Did you download it from the amazon market? If not, its probably that its badly coded and the publishers need to port it over to the KF.

Just thought you would like to know that the HTC Evo view 4g is selling for only $230 at 1saleaday.com/wireless. This price does not require a contract (though it is the version that you could take to sprint and get mobile connectivity with). Just for comparision's sake, Sprint is selling this for $249 ON contract, or $399 off contract (and those are pretty much the lowest prices I have found otherwise.

I hope this helps someone.

Htc is really struggling on the tablet market even at the price I doubt people will buy it

Sale is over, so it isn't that price anymore.

I will give you a bit of an idea of how much demand there is for this product. I posted this at a forum called spurstalk.com (in the subforum about tech) and I posted this here. Between the threads on the two forums only one person posted before the sale was over and it was an apple fan over on Spurstalk who went in to say that the evo view 4g was a good deal for girls.

Lots of interest in this thing. LOL

[HTC EVO 3D] po96od:
I picked one up for about the same price at an earlier sale a few weeks ago. If what you're looking for is basically a reading and Web browsing device, this thing's actually pretty worthwhile. Far superior to my Kindle Fire, for instance. Better screen contrast, smoother page turns, nicer hand feel. And quite snappy and responsive, despite the single core processor (honestly, I'm not sure I buy into the dual-core hype for this category of devices). I'd never have paid the original $400 asking price, of course, but for $230 this was a more than decent value.
