[HTC EVO 3D] alexv305:
I tried searching around for information unlocking the bootloader ver 1.50 on my EVO 3D but it doesn't get to the screen where it shows the disclaimer if you want to unlock the boot loader or not. I am on HBOOT 1.50 and the software version is 2.17.651.5 and android 2.3.4. I followed the method on HTCDEV dot COM and also read somewhere it works with software version 2.08 and LATER.

So basically while the phone is in FASTBOOT USB and I use the "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" code in the command prompt it just stays on the FASTBOOT USB screen and doesn't pull up the disclaimer. Anyone have what may be wrong?

Thanks

Was having this same damn problem..just got an EVO 3D yesterday and wouldn't get past the unlock code part..so just run the 2.08 RUU and I'm good to go?

You can check Setting>Power>Fast boot being ticked? If so un-tick.

[HTC EVO 3D] phillip1953:
I have a brand new, three day old 3devo. It came with 2.08 and Hboot 1.5. I did the OTA update to 2.17.

Mine wouldn't let me "drop back" to 2.08. I had to re-install 2.17 over the "OTA" update that was on my phone using the RUU 2.17 executable

Once I reinstalled 2.17, I was able to get a new unlock code from HTC and everything went through like it should.
[Atrix 4G General] darkmush:
My data partition likes to wipe itself every now and then (weekly). So I am thinking about using RSD to flash back an original stock rom (i know fruit cakes are close, but this is a different issue) in order to fix things i may have broke, and then go back to CM7.

Any suggestions or guides on how to do so? No one seems to have my problem, and no one really comes up with a solution.
[Atrix 4G General] astol:
Have you tried doing a full wipe/erase, reboot, then install the ROM again?

I would suggest:

Copy ROM to external SD card

Power off and remove SD card

Boot to CWM Recovery and full wipe

Power off

Insert SD card

Boot to CWM Recovery and install ROM from SD card.

Ive never personally had that problem, but give it a try. Also try a different ROM if that doesnt work. It may be a dodgy ROM.

I know with Verizon, if a phone is reported lost/stolen, the ESN is then registered as 'bad' and will no longer work on Verizon's service. Does the same thing apply to a GSM phone(ATT, T-Mobile, etc)?
[General Questions and Answers] ngocdao:
No. It does not.

ESN = internal sim, basically.

my htc inspire hd is stuck on hboot screen.. everytime i boot it up the screen is frozen and it says it cant find the pd98 file. so i looked through this thread to find some answers:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1386387

i did everything i could and put the pd98 in the root of the sd card and then it got to the point where it still cant find the pd98diag.zip and .nbh file but it finds the pd98img and starts to load. then its just gets stuck on the parsing screen.. i rooted my phone a while back using ace hack kit so i could unlock the phone. this issue came out of no where, i was just using my phone and looking at nba scores and it just freezes so i pull out the battery and now this happens...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fielddb:
can you access the recovery by going into the hboot, if so, all you need to do is flash a ROM from scratch, or restore a back up
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjafar92:
no i cannot click on hboot, it just automatically reads the sd card and then loads the p98 file and gets stuck on parsing.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396253&highlight=hboot

ive been trying to follow this guide but i put the pd98 file from the first link on the sd card then boot up my phone and the phone is still stuck but reads the pd98 file and gets stuck on the parsing screen again and all it says is [1] recovery.

also i dont know if it helps everytime i power on my phone it automatically goes to hboot screen, i dont have to hold the volume down button.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmalinich:
Have you tried removing the p98 zip from the sdcard and then booting into recovery from the bootloader? or removing the sd card completely, and then powering on the phone?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjafar92:
yeah without the sd card when i try to turn it on it goes to the hboot screen and just stays there, i cant move up or down and with the sd card without the pd98 file, the phone looks for pd98img twice and doesnt find it and then looks for pd98 file and doesnt find it and then goes back to hboot screen

and thanks for getting back to me man and trying to help out!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
I came across someone else with this issue not that long ago. Unfortunately your ribbons running to your volume keys, or other related hardware, have become damaged or failed prematurely and your volume key is indefinitely stuck down. The only way to fix this would be to replace the failed part yourself. The inspire is difficult to take apart and requires a special tool to remove the camera so warranty may be your best bet.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjafar92:
do you know how much repairs like that usually cost professionally?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fielddb:
If you have at&t, its free for your first one to braeak, it has to be software, so they won't know that its the volume rocker is broken. Because what it mostly looks like is software.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjafar92:
well i cant send it to att bc i didnt buy it from them, bought from a third party. is there a place i can order the parts and do it myself?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjafar92:
also maybe its a volume rocker problem bc if i hold the volume up button with the powerbutton it vibrates a couple of time and the led stays solid green but the screen remains blank. doesnt that show the rocker still works bc the combination of the volume and power triggered a different response then just pressing the power and the phone going into hboot?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisb906:
hboot

i have a wierd situation. when i go into hboot, it vibrates like heck and it finally gets on. i can chose recovery and it vibes like crazy but it eventually does load. i get to cwm and i can do all the operations. wipe data, partitions etc etc. i install from zip card and it is successful. i reboot phone and it vibes like crazy and eventually the zip does work and the rom is flashed. i just found it peculiar that my hboot is screwy, but i can still flash roms, wipe data, go to recovery and etc. do i have anyting to worry about, or should i just stick with the screwy hboot? idk how to fix the hboot . any suggestions or insight would be surely appreciated.

You have a froyo hboot. Just flash a gingerbread one and all will be normal again. Best thing to do is just use a PD98IMG.

k

i tried your gizroot and it worked. but when irebooted the device, i got what ihad before. a crazy long vibrate and back to hboot. i managed to get to recovery and flash the android revolution. im afraid of rebooting device as it will probably get stuck again.

i have run out of patience. lol. how do i flash that image. ?every time i load bootloader it says that it cant load pd98 image. its actually been that way ever since i rooted my phone.

Here is a PD98IMG of the gingerbread hboot. I've tried this one and know it should work. Just give your phone time to recognize it.

[Android Software Development] tnind:
Thought I would record my troubles with a game render loop and a logic engine given a particular bug has swallowed up about a week of my time. I am posting it incase anyone else happens to have the same problem/symptomns.

It originated when I wrote the LogicEngine which has an ArrayList of GameObjects and iterates through them deleting them as nessesary depending on the results of thier processStep.

The render thread would occasionally crash when something was deleted from the array while the list was being drawn but this happened quite rarely. No problem I thought, I'll just catch the out of bounds exception and it will get displayed on the next frame however many milliseconds later.

This all went well for 3 months of coding till I got to programming terrain where about 300 blocks were all displayed gradually scrolling down the screen. The blocks would flash intermittently but in sections not all at once.

At first I thought it was too many blocks for the LogicEngines collision detection so I doubled the size of the blocks. Then I thought it might be overhead allocating memory for the blocks and preloaded them in the constructor. Eventually in despair I disabled the deletion of blocks once they went offscreen and noticed the flashing stopped. This was the point I realised what was happening: The LogicEngine would delete a row of blocks because they went offscreen and the Renderer would be half way through drawing and instead of crashing it would just skip x blocks wherever it was in the for loop at the time that the LogicEngine removed them.

Wow I feel stupid, especially because of the lazy Exception catching solution I originally implemented which masked the problem for so long.

GameRender.java
//draw obstacles
theLogicEngine.objectsObstaclesLock.writeLock().lock();
for(int i=0 ; i<theLogicEngine.objectsObstacles.size();i++)
{
drawObject(theLogicEngine.objectsObstacles.get(i));
}
theLogicEngine.objectsObstaclesLock.writeLock().unlock();

LogicEngine.java

for(int i=0;i<objectsObstacles.size();i++)
if(objectsObstacles.get(i).processStep(this)) //we are to delete this object
{
objectsObstaclesLock.writeLock().lock();
//remove self if necessary
//move object returned true so delete object
GameObject toDelete = objectsObstacles.get(i);
objectsObstacles.remove(i);
toDelete.dispose();
i--;
objectsObstaclesLock.writeLock().unlock();
}

TLDR: If you have an ArrayList that can be edited by one thread, make sure you lock it rather than just catching the ArrayOutOfBoundsException
[Android Software Development] cyansmoker:
Glad you figured it out :)

I am still impressed that you can write Android games using these techniques. Is your game low-res or is Dalvik that powerful?

I mean, you are using Java, which is one thing, but then you use ArrayList and you delete objects as you go. I take this to mean that you do not recycle them in a pool.

Am I correct?
[Android Software Development] jug6ernaut:
ArrayList is self managing.

All of Java's garbage collection is done automatically. As a Java dev u can call System.gc but this only suggest the system attempt gc.

Dalvik is pretty good, but anything extensive I would go native...
[Android Software Development] cyansmoker:
Right. But then there is the memory consumption issue. That's why I typically do things as described in this blog entry.

Although in System.gc()'s defense I've always observed that it was run immediately in Sun's ref. implementation. Not sure about Dalvik.

But overall I agree with your conclusion.
[Android Software Development] tnind:
So far I have not been having any performance issues. The ArrayLists contain GameObjects which are quite lightweight memory wise as they do not contain Textures.

Textures are maintained in separate dictionary with a string key.

I did try recycling GameObjects in one location where I was spawning / destroying a lot but it didn't really seem to impact performance much.

I think my biggest area for optimisation at the moment is in collision direction. Currently there are about 5 different ArrayLists (Obstacles, Enemies, Players, Player Bullets, Enemy Bullets etc) only those that interact are tested for collision (Vector2d distance < objects collision radius). I think theres probably opportunity to split it further into quads.

I've yet to build in proper optimisation checking but it plays fine in 320x480 with ~100 enemies on screen and 4 player ships with maybe 20 bullets on screen at once with a turnover of 5/10 GameObjects a second. Even with this number though Texture memory usage is low with most enemies between 16x16 and 48x48.

I think libgdx and the behaviours library I use are pretty optimised.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natolx:
I rebooted my phone today and it wouldn't boot up. I was running rhcps Minor Addins 4.03 with Francos kernel.

Doing the obvious, I reflashed a nandroid backup. After doing this my NFC reading of tags no longer works. In addition, opening the settings menu "more..." that contains the NFC settings freezes the phone up.

I wiped multiple times, flashed multiple kernels and ROMS and nothing helped except one time, it worked briefly right after RHCPs rom was reflashed but then quickly stopped again(without me doing anything but opening the Market)

Just to note: I have been testing the NFC on tags that I have

Please help :( NFC not working is one thing but it freezing up the settings menu is just ridiculous.

Edit: Tried my non-extended battery. Same thing :(

Edit2: Reflashing to the first backup I ever made right after rooting fixed NFC... haven't tried reflashing a newer ROM again. No time atm

Edit3: Relflashing to RHCP rom + franco kernel + Gapps resulted in the same problem. Going to flash back to original backup and try one at a time to see when it breaks.

Edit4: The problem is apparently Gapps... going to try deleting wallet from the zip see what happens
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demarco2:
I had similar problem with my first GN, but it was completely stock and not rooted. It started after I tried to install wallet and wallet would never work. The more button would freeze the settings menu and only open directly after reboot. NFC also started draining my entire battery in about 4 hours even in airplane mode. I took phone back and asked for another. Sorry that I didn't find solution, but did have same settings problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natolx:
The problem was Wallet... the gapps.zip was installing wallet and it was messing up my NFC... not sure why it suddenly started to do this :/ Going to try to install the .apk and see what happens

Edit: Looks like my secure element is bricked :( I've tried every method possible to get Wallet back on but everything I try breaks my phones NFC.

Even tried the ADB command

am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR_NOTIFICATION

Still no go :(

If your just getting the phone now, chances are its gonna have hboot 1.5. So you'd have to use the HTC method.

Themes won't flash right along with other things.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tikerz:
The extra battery is the real deal, no question. The question is whether you can live the extra 1.8mm in thickness and weight. When compared to other phones it's still pretty thin though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbabiuk:
i like my RAZR, and find battery life to be so-so. If I had the choice to do it over again, I would get the MAXX. Don't hesitate.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] IP IHI II IL:
I'd obviously choose the MAXX... They're exactly the same phone, except for the battery. I'm actually kinda pissed that they're promoting the MAXX as a new device, seeing as all it is is a response to those with battery life issues. I love my RAZR, but I kinda feel like all current owners should be entitled to the MAXX as a correction to a problem.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterguk:
Hi,

I've think i've caused a problem on my Phone, I tried flashing a number of roms but now after flashing DlevRom 3.1_KI4. And trying to restore it back to Stock.

Its hanging on when using odin.

<ID:0/003> Added!!

<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..

<ID:0/003> File analysis..

<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/003> boot.bin

I can use Heimdall to flash my kernel back to stock without any issue. But using Odin it keeps doing the above.

I've tried CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_KI4-v4.4-CWM4 kernel which i'm able to flash and access clockworkmod but i'm unable to flash CyanogenMod rom which is still stored on the phones memory it shows a number of errors.

The default rom/kernel i'm trying to restore to are

ROM - GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI1

Kernel - Kernel_I9100XWKI4

I've flashed back to these before when it had CyanogenMod on. So i'm not sure what the problem is now.

Anybody got any ideas to help me.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterguk:
No keeping away from ICS roms at present. I Flashed my phone with DlevRom 3.1_KI4 rom which booted up ok but decided to go have a go again with CyanogenMod. So went into Clockmod selected the ZIP it went thought the process but display error see attached image.

http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/2970/dsc00010ob.jpg

I didn't change the kernel before trying to change to cyanogenmod so it had the kernel from DlevRom.

Then i starting having these problems.

But at present the only way i can change the kernel is using Heimdal. If i try using Odin it freezes.

Hope that makes sense.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
That error is telling you it thinks your device isn't an I9100, or the check to determine if it is isn't working correctly. If you're sure you do have an I9100, follow the instructions to install CM7 to the letter, which involve flashing a different kernel first (you said you can do this with Heimdall), and then flashing the CM7 zip twice in succession.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterguk:
Yes i have a Samsung Galaxy I9100 (UK). Yeah i was able to flash without a problem but then i think i forget to reflash the kernel with the CM7 one. But using Heimdall i'm able to reflash to any kernel without any problems. Its only when i try to flash a rom that it doesn't work.

So now sure how ive done that to make it think i have a differnet type of phone.

I've had CM7 running on the device before and stock but wanted to try a couple more roms. So maybe i've skipped a step somewhere but not sure.
