Something is not clear to me.

When I click to download 1.32 PD98IMG.zip in fact I'm downloading RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.24.405.1_Radio_12.27.60.14b_26.02.00.29_M4_release_151852_signed.zip (and it has an .exe inside)

I don't think my Android eats Windows MZ executables.

Did i miss one step here?

Hello all,

A friend of mine has used this guide on his 3.13 rom sense 3.0 dhd and now it only boots to the first HTC screen and vibrates non stop, how can I bring his phone back to life ?

Thanks
[Desire HD General] Dev0o0o:
I did exactly as said but when started updating the rom in bootloader the screen just turned off and it won't boot anymore ?? please help?? what should I do??
[Desire HD General] ahmad5859:
is there any one ?

there is no answer to those who braked there phones
[Desire HD General] jchuillier:
There is :)

You can get out of this, you need to downgrade to 3.13 standard asia wwe rom, then forget this procedure and use the ace hack.

I got the phone out of blocking mode by this method.

BUT......

You need to be VERY patient, in my case the phone needed 12 minutes (yes 12 !) to get past the HTC white screen and the continuous vibration on to the recovery screen, and each press on the recovery screen to go up/down was taking 2-3 mins....but in the end once you've reflashed wwe asia 3.13 you can start the ace hack...

good luck
[Desire HD General] ahmad5859:
tnx mate but .....

I got info that EMMA files are same SEUS use, and can be decrypted to sin files,

so I need some one who have access to it, I need US Generic for that devices:

LT15a, LT18a, R800a, E10a, X10a, I know that maybe some are here on XDA, but I don't thrust the SI numbers of them, anyway someone who use EMMA, can supply me some ROMS? I can pay $$$ if you want :D
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
You know that you can flash a LT18i firmware without a problem?

LT18i .62 is available.
[Xperia Arc General] E15i:
The one that here is MAA (Middle East something) I need US .42,

I just thrust more in Wotan Client ROM's then what posted here, as I can't be sure about the SI numbers at all :mad:, if somebody have access to EMMA, I will pay $$ just to get the ROM's, there also no any service fee/free that do know to flash BROWN devices, except the "flash tool" that flash anything we want, but I need FTF's or at least SIN's
[Xperia Arc General] vladvertigo:
im sorry, this is off-top, but

what means RED and BROWN device? :eek::D
[Xperia Arc General] E15i:
RED, is device that SE sell to retailers and cellular networks, and private customers.

BROWN, are devices that for developers and testing purposes.

there also a BLUE, that just a brick, they not have IMEI or any software at all.

sometime people get Brown devices from eBay LOL.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skele Drew:
I have a GTab that was running Calkulin + Clemsyn Combo Overclock at 1.5 ghz V8 on the 1.2 branch fine for a couple months now, then something happened today. Woke up to find there was no sound coming from it (I'd left an Anti-mosquito app running all night), so I tried to play a couple music files. Seemed to get frozen instead of playing, so I restarted. That's when it went into a boot loop from 3 birds to the first splash screen of the loaded ROM.

Attempted to do a backup via CWM, and it failed on /data. Tried a data wipe/reset, then reflashing the ROM and finally NVFlash. Still goes into a bootloop. Repartitioning and mounting doesn't do anything; ADB doesn't see the device at all in CWM or APX; /data cannot be mounted and /sdcard mounts only when a card is inserted (doesn't see the internal space) but still doesn't mount USB storage and says: "E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)"; drive shows in Win7, but is inaccessible;

As mentioned, APX mode and NVFlash along with CWM works fine. And I can mount /cache and /system fine. I've gotten to Code Double Red here and now I'm draining the battery for the next step (really don't want to pull any screws). Also tried the fix here, but it seems that's just for CM7, which I'll probably try flashing some time.

I'm going to return to the 1.1 branch and try a couple ROMs there, but I have a really slow connection and it's taking a while to get nvflash 1.1.

Did a quick search of the forum and didn't find anything quite similar. Obvious question is, has anyone ever experienced this before? What are some other steps I can take to fix this? Is there a way to backup the internal SD before I probably have to wipe it?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Connect the USB cable to the tablet, then boot it into CWM, and run this command on your PC:

C:\SOME\PATH> [B]adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt[/B]

Post that dmesg.txt file here. We'll see what's wrong.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skele Drew:
Connected the charger long enough to run the command, but all I get is "error: device not found". As I'd said, ADB doesn't detect the tablet, even though Windows knows when it's connected and disconnected. Is there anything that I can flash to get me a terminal? That's the only way I can think of to get that command run and hopefully direct the output to my SD. Thanks.

I now have a completely dead battery. Wondering what to do next since it's supposed to have been hard reset now. Not seeing anything different after booting; same boot loop even though I just flashed a ROM again.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skele Drew:
I had seen this thread before where you were helping someone last year. Wish I'd read further to see that he eventually got the same problem I now have. I'm currently working my way through everything. First I need to get ADB running though, so I'm working on that now. Think I may be needing that partition swap trick, but we'll see...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skele Drew:
Having issues getting the right USB drivers installed for ADB on Windows 7 64 bit. Using instructions here. But each time I uninstall the device, as soon as I plug in the tablet, it installs the default drivers. Using both Device manager and USBDeview. Updating and other options are also disabled when there is nothing installed. Considering to do a direct registry hack of the device info if I can, and hopefully not break anything important.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Try using Linux.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skele Drew:
I finally got ADB working on my system and did some experimenting. Seems there's definitely something wrong with my internal SD according to the dmesg output. Luckily I have a SD which I used in my SG3, and it is already properly partitioned, so I'll try using that. Tried making a fstab file in /etc (mtdblock3) but I got "Magic Value Mismatch" error, so I NVFlashed to return it to how it was. I'm currently researching how to create update files, because it seems that's the only way I can get the SDs swapped. Any guidance is still welcomed. Thanks alot.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Yeah. There are clear error messages relating to the internal SD card. You can either return the tablet and get a replacement, or, use my SD card device swapping technique to use the external SD in place of the non-working internal one.

If you use my files, you don't need to modify anything manually. What're you trying to change, BTW?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skele Drew:
I can definitely use some help there. Where are the files? I tried modifying the custom ROM I use by adding a custom fstab and vold.fstab to /etc, an init script to init.d and replacing the /data mounting command with:

ui_print("Copying Data Files");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "-t", "ext3", "/dev/block/mmcblk2p2", "/data");
ui_print("Mount information:");
ui_print(run_program("/sbin/mount"));
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Not sure what you're attempting to do here...

If you just want to use an external SD card in place of your non-working internal one, then all you have to do is a) flash either one of the CWM zip files and then b) flash the SD card swapping zip file right after you install the ROM of your choice. And, if you tell me which ROM you plan to install, I can look inside it and tell you if my scripts will work with that ROM.

If you can read shell/awk scripts, you can look inside the zip files to see what they do and how they do it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skele Drew:
I was trying to make a swap script myself, but it's not working. /system dir gets corrupted. I'm using Clemsyn_Caulkinver8final2, a Froyo ROM.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Look at my scripts. If you have any questions, just ask.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skele Drew:
Where are the scripts? That's what I've been asking...

EDIT: If this is what you use, then all should be ok. Let you know the result when I'm again online. Thanks alot for your help!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
That's what I was talking about. I modified the device-swapping script today to fix-up an additional shell script, /system/etc/inandop.sh, on the various Clemsyn/Beasty ROMs (incl. yours), so use the newer zip file.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skele Drew:
Appears it still doesn't work. However, now instead of having a boot loop, it's just stuck at the splash screen after the 3 birds. I'm going to try combining your script and the ROM to see if I can get better results. I'm also going to try inserting some log/debug messages where I can.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skele Drew:
THANK YOU RAJEEV!!!!!!!

Today I got the time to work on my tablet again, since I just restarted college and it's been a bit hectic. Decided to try CM7 since when I looked into your script I saw direct management for it, so I NV'd back to 1.1 (I didn't know what branch CM7 was on, but flashing CM7 on 1.2 gave an error and aborted). The first time I tried the CM7, it got to the CM7 logo, then was there for a while until I only had a black screen. The only way I knew the tablet was still on was because ADB was still connected. Then I flashed your script and VOILA! everything started great. So now I have my tablet again for my classes :).

I am planning to still run a few tests to see if I can somehow recover/fix the internal SD, so I downloaded your set of e2fsprogs. Think I'll make a flashable file for the entire package.

Again, thanks for all your assistance. It's much appreciated. I really didn't have that much time anymore to work on it myself too. I will continue to learn more as time goes on though, and I hope one day I'll become a guru like you ;).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
The official CM7 is, right now, only for 1.1. However, since you can replace just the kernel and instantly make a 1.2 ROM, you'll have to look at the kernel messages to tell which bootloader version you have (Note: this is only for pershoot kernels).

This is to be expected. When a ROM first runs, it writes a whole bunch of stuff into /data; but, your internal SD card is messed up, so every write would've ended up with the kernel retrying for quite a bit and then failing.

You should've flashed the ROM and immediately afterwards my script to fix-up the mount points on the ROM--ie. before the first boot.

I doubt if you can "fix" your internal SD card error using any of the e2fsprogs--it looks like a card-controller error rather than a media error. You have one of the non-standard internal SD cards which has caused problems for some other users as well.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skele Drew:
Ok. I do have a few issues I hope I can get some help on. For one, flash player doesn't work, and that's something very important. All my browsers direct me to get flashplayer. It worked pretty well in my previous ROM, so it may be an issue with CM7, but I haven't seen any similar issues on their site.

Also, the tablet is less responsive now, though I think this has to do with the /data partition being on external SD, though it's a class 6 card.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Did you partition the external SD card correctly into 2 partitions (the first as VFAT and the second as ext3) before you installed CM7? I'm not sure what steps from my post you followed and what steps you skipped: you mentioned you were planning to modify the scripts/ROM, right?

It is also possible that my script is not doing the right thing on CM7 since it doesn't touch the vold.fstab on it. Get me the output of a mount command in CM7, and these files:

/system/etc/vold.fstab
/system/build.prop

Also make sure that you, or the ROM provider, haven't enabled the SD card switching in Settings > Cyanogenmod settings.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skele Drew:
The SD I'm using was in a SG3 using this ROM, so I think it's correctly partitioned. I've accessed the partitions before and the correct names are associated with the contents. I only followed steps 1 & 4. The option to use removable for apps and media is disabled.

build.prop

mount.txt

vold.fstab
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
1. Let's check this for sure, (though, from the mount output, the mount locations look OK). Post the output of this command:

$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk2[/B]

2. Even if the SD card had the correct 2 partitions (with the 1st being a VFAT partition and the 2nd an ext3 one), the /data partition should've been empty--ie freshly formatted. This is not that critical a requirement for the VFAT (/mnt/sdcard) partition, but, its better if it too is empty.

Did that SD card have any old data on it or did you repartition it before you used it on the gTab (either using CWM or on a PC)?

I recommend that you repartition that SD card again. You don't have to do anything else. Your CM7 will go back to looking like a fresh install.

You mean the "internal" one? Because its doing the correct thing now: using the removable for apps and media.

As to your tablet becoming sluggish, most likely this is not due to the microSD card being used. However, SD card accesses can potentially become very slow if the partitions on it are misaligned. If you are certain that it is the micro SD card, then repartition it and play with the partition sizes. The SD card formatter utility might be able to help you choose the correct partition sizes. See if it lets you create 2 DOS partitions on the micro SD card. If it does then let it choose the correct sizes and locations based on the constraints you give it and then you can reformat the second one as an ext3 partition. (This still may not be optimal for the /data partition as the LWN article says, but, it's the best that can be done at present.)

But, as I said, its unlikely to be the microSD card: Android doesn't use the SD cards that intensively during normal use. Get me a dmesg and a logcat -v time output.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skele Drew:
The /data partition still had the old data on it when I used that SD. Flash Player still doesn't work after the repartitioning. I had some problems installing the first couple apps again for some reason. But once I got Titanium Backup installed everything was fine. After a few hours of usage, it wasn't as sluggish.

fdisk

dmesg

logcat - Output seemed to be going on forever, so I cut it short.

BTW, these were done before the repartition...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
This is considered a bad idea when switching ROMs. You should also be careful about restoring apps using Titanium backup--esp. apps from a completely different device like a phone.

Edit (in CWM) /system/etc/vold.fstab and comment out the line containing "emmc" in it. This should fix your sluggish tablet and the flash problem.( I've also modified the script in my post so that this is done automatically from now on.)

If Flash Player or other apps still don't work, do what I did to test the new script a few days back:

1. Boot into CWM

2. Format Cache

3. Format Data

4. Reflash CM7

5. Flash my zip file.

After this, Flash Player and the other test apps from Market worked just fine.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skele Drew:
I think I did something wrong in trying to push the vold.fstab file after editing it (I mounted /dev/block/mtdblock3 to /system to get access to the file), since it didn't seem to have been changed and then my tablet boot time got much longer too. However, I flashed your file (without reflashing the ROM, etc so I was saved the time of restoring) and Flash Player works great now. Thanks alot for your help!

BTW, I am thinking of upgrading to an ICS based ROM when they get more stable. Hope your mods work for that too!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
The script might need changes: they're using a very different kernel on which the SD card device names/paths might have changed.

Get me a copy of the ROM before you install it so I can look inside it and see what changed.
