almost bricked my phone

ok guys,

so i installed the twrp rc01 a few days ago and was able to flash mik3.0, but i was getting fc's all over the place so i rewiped and re-flashed and that seemed to do the trick. however, yesterday night i left 4g on all night and i woke up this morning with a dead phone. so i then tried to go into recovery and i get nothing. it just vibrated like 3 or 4 times and the green led flashed. so i took out the battery and tried to go into it again to the same result. so then i tried to install amon ra and it would not ask me to update. WTF!!!!! i then looked at my hboot. some how i got my securities turned back on. not really sure what did that.

i have hboot 2.10 and rooted with unrevoked. so the only thing i was thinking was that i need a phone that is bootable so i can get s-off again. i tried one of my 3.70 ruu's and i was able to get the splashscreen to change back to the htc white screen so that was a good sign. however, it only gave me a blank screen with the green light flashing again. so i then pulled the battery out and went back to hboot. i cleared storage and re-tried the ruu and this time it worked.

i do not know wtf happend but that was frustrating. i hope that rc02 works better then rc01.

i have also been trying to get my sd card to get recognized by the phone or my computer. i can't even get it to setup as disk drive either.

my phone does boot up to froyo and i tried to update it since i have s-on i can just accept the ota. but even that will not install.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Notorious:
Your not the only one that have had there phone go s-on randomly if you look back people have had the same problem . There phones were unrecoverable and they got replacements. I just know its this recovery causing it . That's why I stay away from this recovery. But that's my opinion you can continue using this recovery its up to you but I wouldn't
[EVO 4G Android Development] ocnbrze:
yeah i know. at least my phone can boot up. if i can only get my phone to connect to the computer i can then try and re-root with unrevoked. but my phone does not even charge when plugged in via usb. i'm gonna try and download the htc drivers and see if they work.

also i posted this on the github as well.
[Touch HD General] pekile:
Which android or WM 6.5 rom for HTC Touch HD is the best for me to use? I mean, that it has everything working(Im thinking of using WM 6.5 for everyday use, and Android purely for apps and wifi (browsing, facebook, YT(optional), and maybe some music). I'm thinking of putting custom 6.5 rom in my HD. So, can some1 provide me with the best ROM out there and a tutorial to flashing it? I already know how to put Android on phone, just need a nice ROM.It would be great if you could only copy/paste ROM threads. Thanks. And sorry if i violated something on website, but im fairly new, and cant really understand all those tutorials.

P.S. Is HD running WM 6.5 rom better than it running WM 6.1?

Thanks again guys, im really gratefull ^^
[Touch HD General] Lothaen:
WM for battery life

Android is only running properly on SD card builds - so you can have both easily enough.

I like WM6.5 but some say that WM6.1 is faster overall.

Depends what you want.

My blackstone is my work mobile and I have WM6.5 EDGE SWIFT rom on it at the moment, works well - I just need basic functionality out of it really, but battery life is very useful!

I'd love an Android NAND rom on it sometime though

the EDGE rom thread has a tutorial link in it - but the general gist is probably for WM roms:

1) update with HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex (may be slightly different - check the tutorials first!)

2) download BlackstoneAdvancedRUU

3) find and download the rom you want, extract the .nbh and put it with the BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe

4) run BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe, task 29, run BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe again, task 28 and select your nbh file from the list

follow on screen instructions at all times.

you might want to flash the RADIO: HD_1.17.25.09.nbh too if you havent already got the latest radio...
[Touch HD General] pekile:
Ok, i managed to somehow install WM 6.5 and its working well :), got iGo on it, and some other apps. Now, which Android is the best for things i posted in my previous post?

(web browsing, music, apps) It doesn't need to have working camera, because i dont really use it, and if i needed it, i'd use it via WM 6.5.

P.S. is it possible to watch movies (.avi; .mkv; etc.) on WM 6.5 and Android?

P.P.S How to connect my phone to PC via WM and via Android?

P.P.P.S What's the status of Android Market's games and apps on Blackstone? Are they all working?

Thank you very much :)

I've just recetly got the sgs2, great phone, but it cost quite a bit hence I'd like to get one or more apps on it to make it completely theft proof.

What do you guys believe are the best apps out there to make your phone theftproof?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicholasQ:
Tasker. It will make it theft proof and hundreds of other things!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjo:
As good as tasker is, I don't think it's a good choice for an easy solution to security. Theft aware and Cerberus are worth a look :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefox3:
What do u mean theft proof? If you leave it at a restaurant and someone takes it, goes into recovery and wipes it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicholasQ:
Yea it's not easy but highly customizable. Take a look at brandals guide to tasker profile for phone loss.

I'm so glad I have a Nexus One. With the newer versions of the BlackRose bootloader, you can't access recovery mode, flash anything, etc until you enter a user defined password:cool:

+1 for Theft Aware
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poenanie:
Rather the ability to get the device back in my own hands, having my personal information secured is a plus, but I'm mostly concerned about retreiving that expensive piece of phone.

I'll look into the suggested apps, thanks a bunch allready!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RED_:
Android webkey. You get complete control of your phone from any PC. If your phone is stolen and you want to lock it you get set a pattern lock, or leave a message or go into google maps and see the location. Of course the other person will see this going on so you better hope the thief has it in his pocket when you do this!

How do Tasker and other apps mentioned here help prevent theft?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batp:
I'd recommend Avast security - they have an option to install an antitheft onto your root partition so even if someone does a factory reset the app keeps running :)

And you can make it play a siren, send messages, and track the guy. Best of all - you can uninstall Avast once you got the security thing running.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tamen:
Firstly, get some software that allows you to track it, send messages, take pictures using the camera etc.

I recommend cerberus, for a one-time-fee of €3 and a free 7 day trial.

Cerberus can also text/email if a non-authorised sim card is used.

Also, change the splash screen and the boot animation.

Changing the splash screen is difficult to do for someone not technical or into phones, so it's unlikely they'll be able to change it. Make sure it includes your name, an alternative number and an e-mail address. That way the phone is basically unsellable if stolen. If you want to sell it, just change the splash screen back.

Lastly the boot animation - also add contact details or make it something non-stock, just to again prove it's yours.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calyxim:
First thing a phone thief will do is removing the battery. Then he goes home and removes sim card. Hooks it up to his computer and wipes off everything.

Then you can buy your phone back on ebay. For a price off course.

Keep your phone in your pocket mate. This is the best advice you will ever get.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avidmovies:
Just bought cerberus, and while it's features are more or less the same as theft aware, the support for it is truly amazing. I had a minor issue and emailed them and got a prompt response. Other advantages include support for 5 devices, automatic GPS enabling for rooted users and a nice flashable disguised CWM package :p

Also FYI, avast bought over theft aware, so look into avast, not the old software. It IS a pain to uninstall the rooted anti theft, but that's a good thing. Avast us? Ore intuitive, but I feel like like it's heavier on the system and there's no web panel, so keep that in mind.

Just try out a few, and pick the one that best fits your needs. FWIW, androidpolice had a mobile security shootout series that you may want to look at.

BEST OF LUCK!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZippyDan:
Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but I just ran across this mention in my google searches... I am VERY interested in a bootloader password. In the two years since this post, has this idea been carried over to any other Android phones?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoemomma:
My need for the bootloader password back then was to add a layer of security for my data. Device encryption provided by newer versions of Android fulfill my paranoia :p

Boost Grand Theft Auto 3′s graphics with a few simple tweaks [from Android Community]

From Android Community --

"A few of you have probably been reliving your most outrageous Liberty City exploits since Rockstar released a pint-sized port of sandbox classic Grand Theft Auto 3 for Android last week. While the game makes the transition mostly intact, some of the graphical flair of the original is missing, probably to make it run better on a wider variety of Android phones and tablets. If you’re running a high end phone with a fast dual-core processor and a competent GPU, it might not be using them to the best of their abilities. Luckily, German site AndroidNext has found a hidden settings file within the game’s data folder, which will allow you to modify some basic graphics settings."

For the full effects in GTA 3 on Android you have to do only the following:

1) Connect phone to PC and connect as a Disk Drive

2) Navigate to the directory

/sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3

3) Backup existing Gta3.set

4) Download and extract gta-3-full-download effects.zip

5) Drop included gta3.set from zip into the /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3 directory

6) Done!

P.S. - confirmed it worked and no lag from the tweak as well. Happy Holidays everyone!

P.P.S. - here's a link to the original .set file to revert the changes. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2114079/gta3.set
[HTC EVO 3D] JoshuaAlba:
Nice find. Tried it just now and the graphics got way better, but it actually got a little bit slower for me. Thanks again.

Edit: Nevermind. Left 'Powersaver' on in SetCPU settings. Runs great!
[HTC EVO 3D] ShaWn.cz:
What ROM and OC are you using? After this patch the game looks definitely better, but the framerate is v-e-e-e-r-y s-l-o-w :-/ StockROM
[HTC EVO 3D] Gene_Bailey:
Wouldn't it possible to do this just by extracting on the phone with a file explorer app?
[HTC EVO 3D] akiradavis:
At the moment I'm using ViperROM Redline with Anthrax stock rc3. I use ViperMOD to overclock it to 1.6 and the IntelliAnthrax governor. I was running MIUI before and it was lagging pretty bad, that's why I switched.

Yes. I just did it through Astro. Was laggy until I switched the CPU to performance from Intellianthrax.
[HTC EVO 3D] Gene_Bailey:
LOL I just figured it would be possible. I'm not sure though. I'm trying to see if the .set file is there but every time I navigate to the the GTA folder all I have are the many folders that look like they would be the contents of a zip file.. maybe when my phone downloaded the files they automatically unzipped somehow?
[HTC EVO 3D] jmtz345:
so do we actually replace the file then?
[HTC EVO 3D] ceyo14:
I wouldn't change it. As you can see theres not much difference and its not worth having the on-screen controls messed up.. the one with the pickup is before and the minivan is after...

The only thing is the bridge but before i took the screen cap it took a couple of seconds for the bridge to load the bottom(The difference between the 2).
[HTC EVO 3D] ceyo14:
Damn screencaps are lower quality. They look way blurrier then they should be. Either way look at the on-screen controls...
[HTC EVO 3D] akrod2as:
I can't even get it from the market. Says my device is incompatible. Wtf
[HTC EVO 3D] akrod2as:
Nevermind got it. Also you can adjust where the controls are to the person who said this messes them up.

Can someone who has this game on the TouchPad upload the original file? I replaced it with this one without backing up now I want it back.

I picked it up from the Android Market before they restricted it to only certain devices. I use ChainFire to unroll the textures to 32-bit, makes everything a bit sharper and its not only in a game.

Probably the best that it's not in the Market ATM, since update 1.1 appears to be breaking everyone's install.
[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
I've installed this game on my EVO 3D. honestly, if you can't buy it in the market then Rockstar did you a favor.

I figured the controls wouldn't be great because it's a touchscreen.. but they're even worse than I ever imagined. I have a PSP and if I REALLY need GTA on the go, I'll just play LCS and VCS. Games like this remind me why I hate action gaming on a touch device.

Works, thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] rhonal89:
deleted as requested by user. much respect...
[HTC EVO 3D] Gene_Bailey:
Actually my experience with this has been something of the opposite of yours. Im enjoying it. And the ONLY time I've had issues with the controls is when I've been trying to free aim my gun. Apparently guns can't target cars with the auto-aim system built into the game. That makes me sad. But aside from that.. Not too many issues. Zero lag. No slowdown. Nothing of that nature at all.

[TouchPad Development] bobtidey:
I have switched to using TWRP for recovery on both Touchpad and Nook as it is very nice to use without having to fiddle with the buttons.

To make it even easier on Touchpad I thought I'd make the boot to recovery from CM7 go into TWRP rather than have to catch the moboot menu.

So in /boot I did mv uImage.ClockworkMod uImage.ClockworkMod1 and mv uImage.TWRP uImage.ClockworkMod

This superficially worked in that the boot to recovery from CM7 went into TWRP very nicely. But unfortunately when I then select Reboot to System from TWRP it then reboots straight back into ClockworkMod and restarts TWRP rather than go through moboot and into CYanogenMod

I guess there must be something going on in the real ClockworkMod to flip the default boot back which TWRP isn't doing.

For the moment I changed the names back so it uses Clockwork for the default and behaves normally.
[TouchPad Development] ViViDboarder:
The bootloader project is here: http://code.google.com/p/moboot/

If you're feeling inclined you can ask how you set the default boot for recovery and whatnot. That would probably be a good start. Maybe someone on my team knows, but it can't hurt to learn anyway. :)
[TouchPad Development] bobtidey:
Thanks for that pointer. There does seem to be some anomaly around the use of moboot.next and moboot.action.d

I think when rebooting from CM7 into recovery then either moboot.next or moboot.action.d is being set up to action ClockworkMod so it goes straight in without the moboot menu. Real ClockworkMod then deletes the action files so that when it does a reboot moboot goes through its menu, times out and re-enters the default CM7.

When TWRP is renamed then the sequence starts the same but there is then a moboot.next file that points to ClockworkMod and when it tries to do a system boot then moboot kicks in and repeats the action back into recovery.

I'll comment back on the moboot project as I suspect the cleanest actions here are for moboot to do the housekeeping of action and next files so it doesn't get stuck in this loop.
[TouchPad Development] Crsdr37:
anyone flash roms with this yet. In the eco people are stating wipin isn't working and hey flash and get stuck in a boot loop
[TouchPad Development] bluedogtouchpad:
I installed the newest XRON rom along with moboot and TWRP on my Touchpad and TWRP did not seem to install. Is there a way to just install TWRP without having to do the whole thing over again? Maybe threw terminal mode or something. Since I tried to install TWRP I did not install CWM.
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
All versions of moboot have a README in the moboot_X.X.X.zip file.

From the README (this part was the same in all versions, I think):

##

## to select *next* boot image

##

echo "NAME1" >/boot/moboot.next # will boot uImage.NAME1 without menu

# NOTE: moboot does not delete the file, so the OS booted should

You are correct, it would be cleanest if moboot removed/managed this.

However, there is no code in moboot (or specifically, the ext2 fs code

it uses) to write to the filesystem. After I am done adding lvm support

to moboot, I plan on adding support to moboot to save some state information

to a raw partition (raw lvm volume). Once that is done, I should be able

to lift the requirement that the OS (or recovery, etc.) remove the

moboot.next file.

Also, for v0.3.5+ of moboot, you can hold the Home key to force it to

show the menu (thus overriding the moboot.next file).

Regardless, I am told the next release of TWRP for the Touchpad will

remove the moboot.next file.
[TouchPad Development] LastQuark:
I had the same problem. I installed CWM first, then install TWRP through CWM.
[TouchPad Development] Prey521:
Installed successfully after running the clean boot zip.

I went to the backup section to try and perform a backup but it gives me options that i can select/unselect and am not sure what should and shouldn't be selected.

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] bobtidey:
Thanks. I should have checked the readme.

I discovered the home key trick the first time I tried this and was beginning to wonder how to get out of the loop.

Good to hear TWRP will remove it as well as I'm keen to use this as the standard and be able to reboot into recovery from CM7.

Extra refinement would be if CM7 reboot menu listed all the boot options it could find so that it wouldn't be necessary to rename the image to match the Clockwork that will be used when recovery is chosen.
[TouchPad Development] bluedogtouchpad:
Did you install CWM by itself? If so how did you do that?

Thanks,
[TouchPad Development] vuphuonganh:
Wow awesome I never thought this would be possible. A revolution in recovery it seems. Wonder why other devices haven't got this already.
[TouchPad Development] dallas.maverick:
Thanks, I tested this extensively in an attempt to get my Touchpad into TWRP by default and ran into the same issue with moboot.next, I tried to make it read only after putting Cyanogemnod into it among other things but couldn't get it to work 100%. For now, seems like other folks are running into the same issues and sounds like you guys will take care of it in the next release of moboot. Thanks for all the work.

Check out this post, it's fairly well explained.

I was also getting bunch of inode errors during the installation of ACMEInstaller3. I've been using TWRP since it came out on the Touchpad, but the corruption could've been already there since we were using CWM before TWRP came out.
[TouchPad Development] pgzerwer:
Good to see you here. I have been a big fan of TWRP for a while now, but all this noise about file corruption without any specific feedback from TWRP has chased me onto CWM 6. If you guys can confirm that there are no issues like the ones raised on the link shown above, many of us would be thrilled. If there is a problem, please let us know and then notify us here when it is fixed...pretty please. Not trying to be demanding, just looking forward to having my trust in TWRP fully restored (no pun intended).
