Hey,

So i rooted (S-ON) with unlocked bootloader and then Zergrush (htc super tool), now to install custom roms i need to install a custom recovery.

The one available gives me an CID Error, and it stops installing.

I found one from a xda.cn but if i boot in recovery it just shows a phone with a red triangle with a ! mark in it.

What do i do?

HBOOT-1.08.0099

Android 2.3.5 Rooted (s-ON)

[Intercept General] jluyt:
Hi all,

I have been strugeling for days now amd figured I will reach out. I have an intercept and over my dead body I can not get my workstation to connect to the phone. Initially my OS was Win7/64, which I saw there was no drivers for this phone. I then loaded a XP VM and it also failed trying a multitude of drivers. I dont know where to go from here.

I also tried (just a little though) on Win7/32 - no go.

Please if you have succesfully loaded the drivers for the Intercept, can you point me to where you got the drivers as well as what OS it is loaded on?

Sincerely,

J

i'm on win 7 64, and i seached around a while ago and ended up with some drivers for another samsung phone that ended up working on my system, and it only connected after i turned off usb debugging, i'll check out my computer and see what i did
[Intercept General] jluyt:
It was a very furstrating experience for me. I ended up, finding a sollution over at:

It worked great. Thought if in future I want to drop a new ron on this baby, I am still stuck.

USB drivers

Not tooo sure what might have caused you an issue with the drivers from Samsung website. I have used them and never had any issues. I can tell you for fact, that Samsung, has changed their package of USB drivers for these Phones. I recently needed them for me new laptop, and i went there. When i seen the size of the package, i fired up my desktop, and compared the two. none the less i installed them ,and they worked better than the older package they had
[HD2 General] NightShadow89:
I apologise if someone else has had this problem answered before. I'm having a strange problem with my touchscreen: some parts of the screen seem to be not responding to touch anymore. I'm running AmeriCan Android on SD, and I used several multitouch test apps from the market to check, and there are parts on the screen that don't register at all (all at the top of the screen).

I'd like to know is this a problem with the rom (seems unlikely to me), or is the hardware starting to fail?
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
Firstly you should reflash with a WM stock ROM.

If problem persists, probably you'll encounter a hardware failure sooner or later: dead touchscreen!
[HD2 General] NightShadow89:
Well, I booted into my WinMo Rom (Elegancia V2), and the parts that didn't seem to be working seem to be working now, but I can't be sure because I don't know of a multitouch tester for WinMo. I'll try updating AmeriCanAndroid later, and see if the problem persists. If the screen does work in WinMo, I suspect the drivers for AmeriCanAndroid could be corrupted (a perennial problem of booting Android from SD).

It'd be great if anyone could recommend a multitouch tester for WinMo though, just to be sure.

Are they just overclocking the Sprint version? http://www.technobuffalo.com/tag/galaxy-nexus/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
i really hope they get a qualcomm version and just took a higher advertised clock speed over real life performance, i will never be using a snapdragon processor again, at least if their still using adreno
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Its an ad, and its probably wrong.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qreffie:
I don't think their LTE is launching until Q2 and by that time it'd be rather foolish it buy it considering the SGS3 should be out by then and a new Nexus would probably be less than 6 months away.

I wonder what they would call it ... Lol

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Epic Touch 4G LTE :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Our CPU is rated for 1.5 but Google decided to UV the clock for battery life. Different carriers pay for different options so its not surprising that sprint would try and be different. They have to because there network is like a big long turd that wraps around the toilet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Does anyone have a guess on why they went with Texas instruments processor over samsungs exynos processor? Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wwfc:
They used OMAP4460 in the VZW version as Exynos doesn't like LTE at all. That's why the US version of the SGS2 is Snapdragon instead of Exynos. As for the GSM version, I'm guessing because they couldn't be bothered using anything better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Thanks bud! So our verizon version has a different and better chip set?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
No. Samsung Galaxy Nexus touch 4G LTE epic fail.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
No? They all have the same chipset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nkd:
Whats wrong with Adreno, you do know that adreno 220 is faster than gpu used in GN right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
Being a Nexus device, Google likes spreading the love. Nexus One had Snapdragon, Nexus S had Hummingbird, Xoom (not Nexus, but closely supported by Google) had Tegra, GNex has TI. Next up, who knows... But they certainly seem to like broadening the amount of chipsets they support more than they're focusing on raw performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aridon:
Here sprint has some serious data issues. So bad tha AT&T is faster on edge much of the time. They could release a 2ghz version and i still wouldn't go back to them. I'm sure that it is likely worse now with the iphone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkhawkff:
Just to set your story straight....

The SoC is rated for UP to 1.5 GHz. This doesn't mean that our chips are in fact rated for operation at 1.5 GHz. Take some time and search the dev threads about this. It's a pretty big misconception regarding the 4460. Not all 4460's are in fact the same (apparently). Did Samsung/Google underclock these chips? Slightly, but as you will see, these chips will not in fact (generally) hit clockrates higher than 1.4 GHz. The general thought is that there is an issue with the clock generator for 1.5 GHz and higher, which causes the problem.

The GN for Sprint will have the same problems, and will probably be a PR nightmare now.....especially when users find out that their GN only runs at 1.2 GHz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Sprint version probably has different SoC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
They used TI OMAP in GSM version for pentaband radio, which Exnyos doesn't support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wwfc:
That'd be why they use it in the GSM ;) I guess it's just easier for samsung using the same chipset for both cdma and gsm versions.

I don't think anyone denies sprint getting it. Just the 1.5 ghz. Which I notice they no longer list.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] L3rry:
And now the screen Sprint shows is Google Wallet. Obviously Sprint does not have the same "concerns" as Verizon with regards to Wallet on the G Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Sprint has been the only official Google wallet supporter since the beginning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] L3rry:
Yep, for 3 months now. Hopefully it will push Verizon to make it official. I have used it once so far and it seems to work well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheWenger:
I saw the interactive ad for it on CNET (I know it's Apple Haven) and it doesn't say anything about the 1.5 GHz processor like it used to. fwiw

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
exynos could easily handle the bandwidth of sprint. hell, they should make tethering free. use wifi tether, to get really abysmal speeds. how low can you go?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmunjal:
So why doesn't Exynos offer LTE? Is it a technical limitation or a legal obstacle presented by Qualcomm?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
AFAIK, its a technical issue. Its not just LTE that ahs issues with it. Its Tmobile's high speed network as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
hardware limitation. samsung didnt' design it to work with lte. don't know exactly why on samsung's side or hardwre side. qualcomm has more experience with it now anyways. they don't make the most powerful hardware either, but it is usually power efficient.

[General Questions and Answers] xdabyk:
I'm a T-Mobile Prepaid customer using a simple $19 phone but am planning to purchase a no-contract smart phone, say Samsung Galaxy S 2 or HTC Amaze 4G.

If I buy one of these for T-Mobile Prepaid, am I locked in there, or the phone is useful even if I might move onto another carrier such as Verizon or ATT, or to another Plan within T-Mobile later?

:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
No you are not locked in if you buy a phone off contract. You will not be able to move to verizon or sprint with the phone though, because they use CDMA and not GSM like the rest of the world.
[General Questions and Answers] djjuice:
you can outright buy the phone, but check to see if they have a pre-paid plan/data plan for that phone, it will not be unlocked so you cannot move. You can request t-mobile to unlock it though, but you will not get the same 4g speeds
[General Questions and Answers] xdabyk:
Thank you. Does that mean I can use the Samsung Galaxy S2 No-Contract Model I buy from/for T-Mobil Prepaid now for other carriers of GSM? May I understand from your reply message(s) that T-Mobile is a GSM format carrier(and so is AT&T?) as opposed to Verizon and Sprint being a CDMA guys? If so, I can use the phone as long as my next carrier is a GSM guy? Does this make sense?
[General Questions and Answers] xdabyk:
To: djjuice -

Thank you. I will do some homework in order to understand what "locked", "unlock" and " . . . will not get the same 4g speeds" mean.
[General Questions and Answers] quarlow:
Even unlocked the phone may not support the 3G or "4"G data speed between TMobile and AT&T. The AT&T Galaxy S II will not run on TMobile 3G data, only Edge (2G) data, because they run on different frequencies, same thing with the TMobile Galaxy S II does not support AT&T frequencies. If you buy the phone off contract from TMobile, they should unlock it for you, but there is no guarantee it will work (fully) anywhere else.

If you buy a phone off of craigslist even though you are buying it off contract you cannot guarantee it can be unlocked freely. For example if you buy an AT&T phone used from someone, AT&T will not unlock it for you for free until it's a certain number of months old (based on when the first person bought it from AT&T). You would have to pay a third party for an unlock code (if there is no help here on xda to unlock it).

It's best to just buy a phone for the carrier you plan on using. That ensures its going to work, and that it will work at full speed. If you really think you are going to switch to AT&T buy one of their branded phones, or Verizon etc. Verizon and Sprint both use CDMA, but they are very resistant to allowing another carriers phone on their network. Plus their 4G networks are different types (Verizon uses LTE, Sprint WiMax) so they wouldn't work fully regardless.
[General Questions and Answers] xdabyk:
Thank you, quarlow.

My budget is around $600 max. So I'm inclined to purchase an HTC Amaze 4Z or Samsung Galaxy S2 for use for T-Mobile Prepaid at Target or at T-Mobile. T-Mobile Net Shop is selling Galaxy S2 Re-Furbished at a discount price. Hear Galaxy S2 have high rate of initial failures and therefore maybe better to buy a re-furbished one that has failed once and was repaired by qualified repairman. Below is how I come to think of buying a smart phone now. I've been happy with a simple prepaid phone buying 100 minutes at a time, which lasts more than a year for me. I also use a Sony Clie, a PDA running Palm Desk Top, which has gone obsolete long time ago. With a smart phone such as Galaxy or Amaze 4Z, I can leave not only the PDA but also a digital camera home. I do not need to access my PDA data over internet. I will import necessary data from my PC to my new smart phone either via cable or via WIFI before going out. That's why I want to remain "Prepaid Customer" not a customer with monthly fees. (Besides, I am not so much interested in leaving my data at ISP's servers.)

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] quarlow:
I haven't heard of high failure on the Galaxy S II's for TMo. But I have seen several studies showing refurbished devices have lower failure rates because they can have problem components replaced, and have to pass full qa testing twice.

If you are going to put all your data on your phone via USB on the computer, or wifi, then data compatibility won't matter. That changes the whole issue of taking it to another carrier. Any att or TMo phone that is unlocked will make and receive phone calls, text messages and mms messages just fine on the other network. You will only notice the difference when web browsing, or downloading files. If you aren't going to do that, then it wont make a difference.

Knowing that and your budget I would say get a international version of the phone. Get the Galaxy S II (i9100), or the Galaxy Note, or the Galaxy Nexus. All of those phones are top tier, and international versions will receive updates quicker. The Nexus being the Google device will be the first ICS device to get the next version of android, so its the most future proof. The GSM version of any of those phones will likely come unlocked.

The i9100 has a 4.3" screen, and 1.2Ghz dual core Exynos chip. The TMo version has a 4.5" screen (same resolution) with 1.5Ghz dual core qualcomm chip. The bigger screens did have issues with splotches and vertical lines far more than the 4.3" screen. With them being the same resolution the smaller screen is crisper. The Exynos chip is made by Samsung and widely regarded as the better chip, even at a slower speed. It also comes with a more powerful gpu than the qualcomm chip. So, the graphics are better, and games run better. The att version (i777) is almost exactly the same as the i9100, except it has the U.S. norm of 4 buttons, vs the international 3 buttons. The dev support on xda for the i9100 is unmatched by any other phone, its an amazing device with a huge support and user base.

The Galaxy Note is a 5.3" half phone half tablet with a stylus, and 1.4Ghz dual core Exynos chip. Its screen is a whopping 1280x800 resolution. But, for some that's too big.

The Galaxy Nexus has a 4.65" screen with 720p resolution (this screen is pentile which means it doesn't have as many sub pixels as it could. Its hard to explain, Google pentile vs rgb and there should be plenty of explinations. But, most reviews say at that resolution you need a microscope to tell). But the real strength with that device is that its the pure Google device. Its running Android the way its meant to be ran, unbloated and unrestricted. That is the Rolls Royce of Android phones for the next year. The Nexus S is last years Google device, and will be the first gingerbread device with an official ICS upgrade, if it isn't already upgraded. Its like a Mercedes at this point, its got the pure android experience, but its running last years tech: 4" screen, 1Ghz single core hummingbird chip.

I'm sure that is way more information than you ever wanted to know, but I hope it helps.

[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
Actually the T-mobile SGSII supports AT&T 3g.
[General Questions and Answers] quarlow:
Att 3G runs on 850 and 1900, with preference on 1900 generally. The TMo looks to have 850, but not 1900. So like the vibrant the support will be spotty at best. It may work in some places, but not everywhere.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swee08315:
I'm not really sure what the problem could be, since nobody else seems to be experiencing this.

I'm currently running cm7 flawlessly, but whenever I flash a 3.5 sense rom (I've tried runnydroid and rcmix4.0) I get stuck in a bootloop, and yes, I tried downloading them multiple times, I don't think it's a broken download.

each time I Wipe data/cache/dalvic via clockwork and then flash, and I get caught in a bootloop and am forced to restore my cm7 nandroid backup.

I can flash ilwt without these issues as well (although the ilwt customizations don't work for me; here's my ilwt.txt if anyone wants to point out whats wrong for me https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QCRjA1M_k7vZaosnA9sEiFY6aK07COtNq4xonFK1Kh8/edit )

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swee08315:
thank you. I guess I'll try it later then, but I'm also kind of hesitant because it's kinda alot to do if I'm going to flash back to cm. I'd rather have the speed of stock android then a bogged down sense, but it all depends on how fast these new sense roms are.

I'm still confused about why my ilwt customizations aren't working though.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
If you do the hboot thats the only time you'll need to do it and all AOSP roms (meaning cyanogen and such) will still work so yes its a lot of effort for just sense ROMs but you don't lose anything :)

Sense 3.5 ROMs are a little slow even with swap, they aren't horrible but still, i would suggest more a sense 3 ROM such as unity

For ILWT did you place the file in the correct location? : SDcard/ILWT
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swee08315:
I think I had an old version of the lwt text file that he was using as an example, rather than the one he linked for download, anyway, I got that to work now.

I do understand that the Hboot is a 1 time thing, but it will leave me with a little bit less internal storage than before (not that I'd be using it all anyway)
