For fastboot to flash recovery, the image needs to be on your comp. Open up your computer's Terminal, cd to the directory it's in, and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (without the quotes).

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krayzielilsmoki:
nevermind got it

for people that are curious:

have the recovery.img (correct one! this was my problem) in the tools folder of the android sdk, open command prompt from that folder (hold shift and right click)

then run this command

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

also phone has to be in fastboot (vol- and power, then select fastboot)

I finally have recovery!

Im gonna try to load a rom now!

It might seem a bit stupid, but maybe others will encounter one of this issues and it will help them. your more than welcome at add to this.

P: computer wont recognize device in debug mode. instead it recognizes "android 1.0" or something else.

S: download HTC sync. it contains the proper drivers.

P: while activating the *.bat file you get the erroe "adb out of date...killing". the script will run all the way, but root access wont be given.

s: you need to close all adb processes from task manager, and the htcsync process as well (on PC)! also, you need to reflash the img file, and try rooting again.
[HTC Jetstream] Russ741:
HTC SYNC

after 10 attempts at ROOT, I found this tread. It is CRITICAL that you stop the HTCSync process on you PC or root will not work!
[HTC Jetstream] rangercaptain:
HTC Sync on the tab or on the pc? I killed it on the tab through the running applications. To kill adb processes just close the command window on the pc.
[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:
you need to kill it on the PC.
[HTC Jetstream] NJFM:
Ok so noob question of the day!

Where are you supposed to input the commands (such as adb reboot bootloader) to start the kernel flash process? I tried in cmd as well as terminal emulator on the tablet with no luck, what am I missing here?
[HTC Jetstream] typhoonikan:
you should have ADB in your c:\android folder, or wherever your sdk is installed.

Do a search for adb with your pc to find out where you installed it.

then using the command prompt under start> programs> accessories> command prompt, go to the corrected directory that ADB is in.

to go to C:\android, for example, type " cd c:\android "

Then you would execute the adb commands, (example: adb reboot bootloader)

Go to youtube and search for a 'how to use ADB' tutorial.
[HTC Jetstream] rcw1126:
I'm having difficulty hotbooting the insecure kernel.

I've uninstalled HTC Sync on my PC, and I've downloaded the insecure kernel to my SD card's root directory.

I have no problem rebooting the bootloader via adb, and my device is detected. However, when I try to hotboot the kernel, I routinely get a "cannot load" response. I'm typing in "fastboot boot [filename].img."

Suggestions?

Many thanks.
[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:
the insecure kernel shouldn't go to the SD card. only the wifi module should.

the *.img file should go to the adb\tools directory,

(maybe you can put it anywhere else and just write the full path while flashing, i'm not sure. i just copy this files to the tools directory and flash them from there. easiest way)

the flash command flashes the file from the directory on the computer to the device.
[HTC Jetstream] rcw1126:
Thanks very much!

I'm sitting here laughing to myself because I'd tried changing the path in the command to a couple of places I'd placed the insecure kernel in my PC; the c: root directory and a directory I'd created to house downloaded Jetstream files. Obviously, neither worked.

Placing it in the adb\tools directory makes complete sense.

By the way, your mention of the "wifi module" sent me back to DooMLoRD's kernel thread. I see that you flashed the kernel and related wifi module on 1/4. Like others who posted, are you pleased with the kernel?

Thanks, again!
[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:

I bought alot of 10 cent apps during the pre chrismas sale and installed most of them on my NC and now it gets really slow sometimes now. I was wondering if there was like a general number for how many you can have without things slowing down at stock clock speeds. Maybe they created background services that I should manage?
[Nook Color General] ponyboy82:
It might be helpful to check what apps & services you have running. I've had a few apps that would start on boot and/or sync which really slowed things down every time I tried using the NC. I've also turned off almost all syncing as well.

Anyone know how to completely remove this app from the PC part? It won't uninstall and it stays in my Program and Features list. I've contacted the developer but I get no reply... anyway to forcefully remove it. If I click uninstall, it says do you want to completely remove its components. Then I click yes but nothing happens after that.. and for anyone, this is an app to forward text to PC on wifi.. just like sms2pc app.. thanks.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qz465:
Hello,

I am running Hypersense v2.6 and I have followed all of the directions on the thread to install it. The one thing that seems strange is that Apps2SD doesn't seem to be working correctly. When I look at the free space in the manage apps menu, it says 25mb, although I created a 1GB ext4 partition for apps on my SD card. Should I be manually checking the boxes on the SD card tab in the same menu (doesn't seem to make sense because it shows an SD card size that reflects the non ext4 partition)? I realize that this is a noobish question, but I am just a little confused.

Thanks!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XavierMace86:
I'm pretty much at wits end and completely out of ideas. Long story short, I've successfully used several different Rom's and Kernels without issue but decided to just revert back to stock. I'm just trying to reflash back to the original EA24 Rom. However it flat out refuses to reflash the modem. Everything else works fine and if I omit the modem file when flashing via Heimdall it works perfectly (minus 3G obviously).

However, if I include the modem file or try to flash just the modem after flashing the Rom, it just hangs once it reaches 100%. I've attempted it no less than a dozen times and it just refuses to flash the modem. No errors, it just hangs.

Does anyone have any ideas at all on how to correct this? Sprint was zero help whatsoever.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] skyhew:
The disappointment came when I use loudspeaker on the Galaxy Note. The volume is so low and easily miss out the conversation.

I search for the loadspeaker test, found that G.Note is really bellow average.

You can find more about the test itself here.

http://www.gsmarena.com/latest_features-review-171p3.php

Any software / modification can be done to boost up the volume?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kanej2006:
Unforunately this is true...

However, there is a quick & simple solution to this problem which works.

Download 'Equalizer' from the market place, it's an app which will improve and increase sound. Once using the program you will notice an immediate difference in voice calls, games, videos, music, ring/sms and all notification tones, etc...

My ringtone volume is set to 5/7. Why? Because even at 5/7 it's LOUD thanks to the equalizer...

Everytime my phone rings I jump as it's so loud. It is LOUDER than my previous phone which had ''very good'' for speaker loudness...

Best of all you don't need to be rooted to use the app, good luck!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] skyhew:
Thanks, this is a good suggestion...

:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] skyhew:
Good guide, thanks...

Just wondering if it eating up some battery usage?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kanej2006:
Don't bother with Volume+ as the difference is hardly noticable...

Running Equalizer & Power Amp is all you will ever need...

With regards to battery it doesn't even use 1% of it....

I will give you a short tutorial on how to use Equalizer as it will not work at all if not setup properly.

1 - Type in & download 'Equalizer' from market place.

2 - Install & run app

3 - On the top right hand corner press the power icon, right next to the spanner.

4 - Tick Equalizer only

5 - Press Equalizer which is inbetween Presets & Effects

6 - Leave 60Hz as it is on 0 and increase everything else to about 90%

7 - Once done simply push the back button on your Note & enjoy the LOUDER volume.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] btentusscher:
Excelent tip!!! The increase of ringtone volume is huge. Does it also affect the calling quality in any way?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
Thanks for your tip. I find the volume on my speaker loud enough, but I will bear your tip in mind should I ever need it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kanej2006:
Funny enough you mention it, calling quality is the only thing I've not yet tested the equalizer with. My call volume is 9/10 and it's decent so have not tried this.

A very simple way to test the app with call volume/quality is to launch the app, goto the power options and untick equalizer to disable it. Make a phone call without the use of the equalizer.

Then reopen the equalizer and tick equalizer to re-enable it. Make the phone call again to the same person/number and see if you can hear any difference...

As for myself call quality is good, just as it was before and is no way any worse.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ekerbuddyeker:
My issue is with the speakerphone in a call. Its very quiet. I had an atrix before which was fantastic. Still can't figure out how to get the speakerphone louder
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ade5:
I dont notice any difference in sound-level using equalizer on my Note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kanej2006:
Strange, sure your not closing the program after making your changes?

Otherwise try setting up a custom preset, increase everything to 90% apart from the 60hz setting which you don't need to change.

Once you finish making your changes don't push the home screen button. Instead press the back on the screen till you get to the home screen.

This will close the app but save the settings. Give that a go.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:

Welcome guys, glad it helped.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] craige:
Does this 'Equalizer' App makes the sound feel hollow ?

I mean the bass gets muffeled tht kind of issue... OR it maintains the original sound as it is and just make the actual volume go up?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kanej2006:
With regards to bass increase/increase, these two things will effect it for the better or the worst:

1 - In the app Equalizer the very first 60Hz option will effect bass, the higher you increase it the more the bass. I recommend a 10-20% as any more will over-do it.

2 - This is the main setting which will effect the bass. In your media player, example poweramp that mcatt66 suggested or MixZing Pro which I personally use. When launching your desired media/music player, go to the equalizer that comes with the player, enable it and play about with the settings. If done properly it will greatly improve your sound.

However everyone will have a different setup of their equalizer as people have different opinions of what sounds best! It's really a user preference in which YOU have to play some music and whilst listening to the song go through the equalizer and go through each individual setting increasing and decreasing the bars until your satisfied with the sound. Simply go back into the song you were playing to save your setting. Job done!

You must use ear/headphones when doing this. Reason being the loudspeaker is not so clear on the Samsung Note. This is no big problem since when listening to music or watching movies you will obviously be using your headset and this is what's important. Sound coming through your head/earphones are what you need to look at, not the loudspeaker sound.

In my case sound coming out the loudspeaker is average, not great. However, when plugging in my earphones that's where the sound really shines!

The 31Hz in the equalizer is the main setting for bass increase/decrease & 8k & 16k is the main setting for treble increase/decrease. The ones in the middle you have to play around with to suit your own taste. As for me I've decreased them all slightly. In some equalizers you will see a 'gain' option. This increases/amplifies sound. This is a sensitive option and over-doing it will result in bad distortion.

This is how my equalizer setup looks. Once again do not over-do the settings as in wack them up right to the top or bottom since you will get poor sound.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] craige:

When I see they rated HTC Desire as excellent make me laugh and fcking joke. I have used desire over a year and its sounds and loudness is fcking joke. With the Note I can at least hear what people are saying and not with mine old desire crap sounds. The Note also sounds louder then desire and how the heck did they do the testing?

Yes, the note speaker sound isn't loud, nothing I get bothered from, since im used to desire low and crappy sound. The note speaker sounds louder and is much better then mine old desire.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kanej2006:

.Shhhhhhhhhh

Hi Guys,

I got the Note yesterday :D:D:D

I must confess I thought the sound for notifications was really low, and to prove it I tested some "ringtones" for notifications next to my sleeping wife and she never even moved!!!

Not a twitch!!

Now I am a pretty light sleeper and I think even I would have snoozed away if someone held them right up to my ear.

So since they failed the wake wife from sleep test, I thought I will never know if a new message comes in or anything unless I am wide awake in a library that has strict rules on silence, or perhaps in some monastery where to break the vow of silence is punishable by death.

Though the Note notification would be more than adequate in these situations, sadly I don't spend much time in such places.

So the only way to know about messages was to shhhhh anyone nearby or look and see if there were any.

BUT :):):)

This equaliser trick seems to have resolved the issue brilliantly!!!

Even though it is only 10.58 here, my wife is sleeping like a baby, and I have neither the courage nor nastiness to do the test with her now that I have simply followed the instructions about equaliser.

For she would surely wake up startled shouting at me as if I was an illegitimate child!!

So a hearty thank you for this excellent solution that works great.

So now all I need to make the Note perfect is for someone to come up with a way to increase the screen size to at least 14 inches thus solving my need for a simple but good case since a rucksack would suffice :p

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] OMGLadyGaga:
I had an Evo 3D and honestly didn't really like it. So I "downgraded" to the Nexus S 4G. I like it a lot more and am excited about getting ICS soon but truthfully the thing I really really miss is the bigger screen. I also missed the other core, as scrolling and pinch to zooming is pretty bad on Nexus S 4g. I am a bit of a display snob though, I dont like the WVGA resolution on the Nexus I prefer sharp text and sharper browser pictures like the Evo 3D had (but like the colors of Super Amoled). Anyway, is the Epic Touch 4G the way to go? The phone looks sexy and 4.52 inches of screen is awesome, I'm just concerned that the WVGA stretched out even more will look worse.

What is the difference between Super Amoled and Super Amoled+? The only Sprint store I have has the Epic Touch in the worst possible spot, right in front of a window and the glare makes it tough to compare.

-Phone is mainly for texting, listening to music/podcasts, web browsing, and youtube viewing.

Also, I plan on buying this off contract and I don't make a lot of money so this will be my phone until my upgrade is up in 2013.

Thanks for any input it is much much appreciated.

I am running an ICS ROM with a custom kernel that has voodoo sound and color support on my NS4G. It greatly improves the sound and the colors on the screen. I have both phones and while the Nexus is nice, the ET4G is simply amazing! The speed, smoothness, battery life, camera, etc are definitely a step up on the Epic Touch. Here's a screenie of the NS4G with custom voodoo color settings. The colors are much more vibrant than on a stock setup
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] OMGLadyGaga:
Yes I love the voodoo sound quite a bit, it made me invest in a nice pair of headphones and its worth every penny. I actually like the stock colors just fine, I absolutely love the colors of super amoled what I don't like is the resolution. I would keep my Nexus S 4G as an MP3 player if i get an Epic Touch just cuz the sound chip with voodoo is so beast.

Thanks for the article an Super AMoled vs. Super Amoled Plus. Im gonna get to reading that, from what I understand Super Amoled + is sharper and less pixelated, that is my biggest problem with regular Amoled so that would be awesome. Those HD displays on the other carriers are so tempting, but if Super AMoled Plus fixes the pentile issues, the Epic Touch would be rocking a 4.5 inch screen exynos monster and that's just tough to beat.
