[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpiritStealer:
hello guys...

since no one replied to my post, and i'm not that patient (not blaming anyone thought)

i do want to help others and i just can't keep asking.. so i'm trying it my self and in the mean time i've hit update and the phone shut off and took it's time to start up, as usual and now i'm looking at the update screen(black background with update loge and progress bar) and now it just finished and the screen went fully black-waiting and it is taking its time-... i'll update as soon as i get anythin

wish me good
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djolebih:
Doing a software update on a rooted phone will only revert the ROM to stock one. Key is patience. There is NO WAY at all that AAHK would mess something up on its own. I know this for a fact since I have used it to root 8 other DHD's so far without any issues. If you are not sure how it works then read more. You probably pulled the usb out before AAHK finished proper the first time.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpiritStealer:
thx for ur reply

and about the AAHK actually it's not my thing in the mean time, now i just want my default DHD back (stock rom, arabic, normal boot-up)

as i said i was applying the update and now i'm stock at the updating screen (black background htc update logo with a phone under it)

i mentioned the progress bar before but it was (i think) about moving the update to the sd card

now after about hour or so i'm still stuck at the same update state, even when i removed the battery and restarted the phone i'm still back to the same screen with nothing more..... hope u can help me with anything that can make my phone boot-up again ( no matter what's the version-in the mean time-)

thx in advanced

sry for my english..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djolebih:
Looks to me like you bricked your phone. Remove the battery for a few minutes and put it back in. Do NOT turn the phone on but instead hold down Volume down + Power and see if you can boot into Hboot. It should lead you to a white screen with skateboarding androids. Post here everything it says there.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpiritStealer:
i'll try to get in there, but if i have a bricked phone... is there anyway to fix it(just give me a -yes/no- answer) for now.... i'll rebort as soon as i get into the hboot screen(hopefully)

btw i removed my sd card an out it in a card reader, and i couldn't access it, do u think it got anythin to do with it ??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djolebih:
If you are unable to enter hboot then sadly there is no return and your phone is gone. Hold down power + vol down for as long as it takes until it hopefully takes you into hboot.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpiritStealer:
mmmmmmmm, for the SD card i was able to get back in

and i tried to enter the hboot(but my finger slipet for split second) and i'll try againg

but on the other hand... don't u think that since i'm getting to the update screen that there might be a slice of hope for me ??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djolebih:
Not if its constantly stuck on the update screen without any progress. Do as I said, boot into hboot holding power + vol down keys until it boots. Write what it says there. If you can't get into hboot... Game over.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpiritStealer:
hmmmmmmmm

i dont really think that i'm able to get into hboot anymore, i'll keep trying thought

do u recommend (sd card in/out- cable in/out) or anything u can think of

and please give me some hope anythin would be great in the mean time.... really disprate
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djolebih:
As I said before, if you can't boot into hboot then sorry but I don't know of any other solution. Maybe someone else can provide better explanation, but as far as I know, if you are constantly stuck on update screen and if you can't get into hboot at all then nothing else can be done.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpiritStealer:
i found something called hard reset -i'll give it a try- do u think that it might help ? (hope it does)

this is how i found it's done.....

1)	Firstly you have to turn off your device and after that hold the volume + and volume – button together.

2)	Continue pressing both the buttons and after sometime hold the power button for some time.

3)	Once you have pressed the three buttons you will get the message about the change in the factory settings and also to keep a backup of the data.

4)	After the message is displayed leave all the buttons then press the volume + button to start with the hard reset operation.

5)	After doing this the reset operation will be carried out and all the data will be permanently removed.

do u have any info about it ???
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djolebih:
The only option of Factory Reset I know of is through hboot. And if you cant boot there then I really can't help you.

Are you sure you did it properly? Turn the phone off, remove battery for a few minutes, put it back in. Then Press POWER + VOLUME DOWN and hold for about 10-15 seconds. That should take you into hboot and from there you can see if your phone is S-OFF and do a factory reset.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LorD ClockaN:
I think that you are to nervous now :)

just pull out the battery, put it back in..

hold VOL - (minus, down) and press the power for about 3-4 sec, than release only power button.

if that don't get you to white hboot screen than nicely take the phone to your dealer and ask for waranty.. tell them that it got stuck on OTA update
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djolebih:
Thanx Lord.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpiritStealer:
the main problem that stopping me the most is the long time that the phone takes to boot up, i mean that if i try to start the phone it will take about 10 minutes to get to the update screen where it stops there

so holding them for 15 seconds is somethin that i think will do me no good result or actually no result at all :( ..... do u recommend pluging the usb in/out or anythin like that..... i know that i'm asking to much from you, but please bear with me :( and should i move the thread to another section in this case so i can get more help.....

please stick with me a little

really thx for your help :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LorD ClockaN:
no use of plugging/unplugging the phone...

just do what I've posted above
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djolebih:
There is no point in connecting usb or anything else to the phone. Do as both Lord and I have said and write down what it says in the hboot once you get in. Booting into hboot is not the same as normal boot. Don't try to act smarter then people that are trying to help you.

Edit: Don't move the thread.

I also had faced the same problem and did the same . full wipe and reinstallation of cm 7.1

I think its some kind of bug in the ROM
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badgerpapa:
I've been using custom firmwares on Android devices since CM 4 on my G1. Currently I have an sgs running an ICS rom.

My wife has a nexus s (don't have the exact model number on me. Its from Rogers and still on gb) and wants some of the features she sees on mine. On my phone I'm more than happy to use beta roms and kernels and flash 3x daily. I don't want to do that with hers nor can I keep up with the latest news for both devices. You nexus folks have a freaky active dev scene.

So, is there a "set it and forget it" calibre ICS rom for the mighty nexus yet?

roboticly yours
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
most of the rom you could use as a daily without worrying. you can even do a stock ics rom with a custom kernel. i use the latest cm9(kang) with the trinity teuv kernel as my daily(most the time). not a single issue here.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunswick000:
Nexus Beam with Speedy 5. Very stable. Also currently using Bigxie 4 and Speedy 5 with 0 issues.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crump84:
I'm in the exact same situation as you. After stealing her phone and trying several different ICS ROMs, i found AndroidME to be the best suited for her. It's pretty much stock ICS, it runs really smooth and there hasn't really been any issues. I know it's working well because I haven't heard one complaint in the 3 weeks she's being using it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1421564
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trkn1:
I'm using AOKP build 19 with kernel SG-NS-ICS 17-01-2012, very fast and stable for me :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deetailed:
Most ROMs here can be used daily, and in terms of battery/speed I honestly don't notice much difference between one another. Peter Alfonso's ROM is known for stability, but I would suggest flashing a different kernel to improve performance and battery life. KANGY that I currently use is also stable and has more features than AOSP, or at least v8 is.

For kernel, don't use SG-NS-ICS kernel or any with a default undervolted/overclocked state because not all phones can handle that. I recommend Eugene's ICUP as the best "use and forget" IMO because of the smartassv2/BLD/BLN default state and good battery life.

Set Nova Launcher beta 13 as the default launcher and don't automatic update. If she likes customizing wallpapers and icons she'll like it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badgerpapa:
Wow.

After checking out the ICUP kernel, and some of the roms like KANGY and the state of the Nexus CM9 vs the SGS CM9, I'm tempted to steal her phone and give her mine. Don't know if I can give up the 720p video though...

Thanks for the input.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxPower5000:
Hey forum, pretty much a noob (not even 10 posts) I would like to get off my stock AT&T Gingerbread rom (KK4 2.3.5) and I keep looking through the posts for a lil explanation, can't find any. So I'm hesitant to flash roms without properly knowing what is actually going on within. Essentially I would just like to test the water first by rooting so I could get rid of the AT&T crap, and possibly progress to a full-on custom rom. If there are any devs, or passers-by that could assist, I would be more than grateful.

I suppose comparing it to regular PC terms would help best, as i feel I am somewhat savvy with PC's.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Root can be acquired through the [APP]SuperOneClick, or gained through [MOD] FuguRoot: root _any_ stock SGS ROM safely (froyo, GB) or by means of Flashing a Custom Rom (all have Root). See this 【Guide】How To flash Captivate ROMs from Stock (inc. Gingerbread ROMs) or U could flash a Developer's Kernel that has the CWM Recovery baked in and the option to install Root through said recovery (Corn Kernel is one that is based on KK4. I recommend v6.03 because it is very stable).

And be sure to read the Stickied Threads View attachment 868387 in the Captivate General, Q & A, and Delelopment Forums. That will prove to be most helpful.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxPower5000:
Very cool. Now i suppose I'm being a pansy about this, but you seem pretty knowledgeable; if (rather when) I take the plunge to a new rom, will that wipe the whole card (which is where I'm assuming that the system is mounted), including any apps that I have gotten, and/or erase the SIM card (I hope not)?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Yes it wipes apps, although those aren't stored in /system they're in /data but a full wipe ROM will clear data. Use titanium backup to backup your apps, move contacts to Sim card or backup to your gmail.

It will not touch your Sim card.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxPower5000:
When I attempt to root using SOC it locks up at step 7 (shell root), it freezes. Of any assistance, I look at my task panel, it runs 2 instances of adb.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Use the FuguRoot method or just use Odin3 v1.83 to flash the .tar v6.03 of Corn Kernel. The .tar file goes in the PDA slot of the Odin.

Open Odin 1st, Select the PDA tab, Navigate to the .tar kernel (that u sould have downloaded) Connect ur phone to ur pc in Download mode and once Odin recognizes it, select Start. Kernel will get installed and phone will reboot. Afterwards use button combo to get into CWM Recovery (hold volume up and volume down and power button at the same time until u see the att splash screen then release the buttons). U r now in cwm recovery and can install root from there. Look under Reformatting, tweaks and more. There u will find the option to install root.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxPower5000:
4-2ndtwin, I would like to verbally thank you, in addition to the "digital" thanks given already, I'm running the Corn Kernel right now, and from what I can see, it's a re-packaged KK4 with CwM to allow installation of root from the Bootloader menu.:cool: Now what I'm wondering, is what is the difference between the available kernel's for i897 (Captivate), more specifically those running the 2.3.5 kernel, e.g. corn kernel is re-packaged and does not have VooDoo sound, in PC terms could that be equated to a specific driver for the sound processor vice a generic driver included in the kernel?

Secondarily, just prior to appying root, I backed up everything using Nandroid, is that essentially a 1-to-1 image of what's on the rom?

Third(arily) , does Ti Backup save apps in such a state that I can move the .apk's to my pc desktop, install a custom ROM w/wipe, and re-install the apps as if they were there the entire time?

I appreciate any help. :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Voodoo sounds is kinda like that, its a module compiled in the kernel that allows the tweaking of audio levels by the user with an app called voodoo control.

A nandroid is a system image yes, but it is not 1 for 1. They do not contain kernels or modems. Just the firmware and user settings and stuff. So, if you were to flash a different ROM, you would have to flash back to what the backup was made on, then restore the nandroid and it'll be like you never flashed anything.

Tibu backs up the apps and their data top a folder in your sdcard called "titanium backup" just move that whole folder back and forth and it'll work fine. Hell you can even put that folder in a different phone and restore those backups
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxPower5000:
The reason I was inquiring about Voodoo sound is (call me crazy) the volume reference has gone up a few notches since Froyo i.e. the lowest earpiece volume is twice what it was with Froyo. It's too bad there isn't a "Patchable" kernel that one could add that into.

I hate to admit this, but I always get confused at the term SD Card, as i usually think of dynamic storage that can be removed, not a static, soldered-to-mainboard storage that it is. So if I got a ROM that wiped the entire static storage, wouldn't I also lose the backups that Nandroid made?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Sdcard reffers to the /sdcard partition on the internal sdcard.

A ROM does not wipe this partition, that's where they are flAshed from, it can't wipe itself from existence and still continue the flash.
[HTC Sensation] aamir123:
What is the best recovery? I know most rooms use revolutionary but what are the peeks of the other ones and why not stick with clock work? I tried figuring it out but don't know.
[HTC Sensation] ilostchild:
devs are using more 4ext cause it gives you options to install engines and what not
[HTC Sensation] ungraph:
4EXT has a great UI and is really easy to use.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
I've been a clockwork fan for a while, but it took all of 12 seconds to make me happy that I switched to 4EXT. It's REALLY easy to use.

It also shows battery % and the time in recovery. If something is taking a while that can be really handy to know that your battery is running down before you start a flash process. It's no fun is the battery dies in the middle.
[HTC Sensation] aamir123:
What are engines? And what is this 4ext touch thing I hear about? Can you use the touch screen in the recovery? That would be great.

Btw thanks to everyone who replied. I was considering switching but wasn't sure if I should.
[HTC Sensation] Jikstah:
I think engines as in the Sony Bravia one? So basically Devs can give you the option while flashing, to select many options and add-ons, for example I just flashed InsertCoin 4.4.1 and halfway through it asked if I wanted to have a 1.5ghz overclock or add BeatsAudio. And Yes, it is touch screen making it a lot easier, as you can imagine!
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
Yes there is a touchscreen version, yes touchscreen works, makes use of recovery really nice.
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
4 ext recovery is great! The devs have done serious work
[HTC Sensation] aamir123:
Thank you to everyone, you guys helped alot. I was skeptical at first but Im gonna give 4ext a try.
[HTC Sensation] akapaul26:
4EXT is the best, I use the 4EXT Touch!
[HTC Sensation] 59seconds:
4EXT is compatible with clockworkmod, btw. You can restore any backups using 4EXT that were made with clockworkmod, and roms that work with clockworkmod will work with 4EXT. 4EXT is actually based upon the clockworkmod code base.

Hi.

Ever since I have found out that in Android you can tell (see) exactly which apps are running, how much memory and cache they need (use), and whether or not they startup with your device, the question that made me interested is:

does iOS manages apps in the same way Android does? in iOS you can't see anything working (they like to keep this info out of site).

an app the consumes 15MB of RAM in Android and runs in the backround will do the same in iOS?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
I think not because iOS doesn't have real multitasking.It only freezes apps in the background(unlike Android where apps work in the background) untilled you call them again.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xysonata:
Hi,

I'm thinking of buying the Archos 101 G9 Turbo on Friday. What can you people say about the quality of this device?

I also noticed that the price difference of the G9 101 and Lenovo K1 isn't that big. Which do you think is better? Though I've heard that the Tegra 2 is a bad chip..

Also, what are the common problems that the G9 devices are having?

Thanks
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ameriswede:
Hej!

I have the G8 and I will tell you that if I could do it all over again I would say absolutely NO. But it really depends what you want to do with the device. It has a lot of streaming capabilities that make it useful and it is hackable.

With that being said my friend picked it up the other day and said "Is this one of the walgreens chipads?". Yes the build quality is pretty bad and I suspect the Gen 9 is not much better. The screen is awful awful awful on the the G8 and I have heard it is not much better on the G9.

I think there are so many options out there that are hackable and have media streaming that are in the same price point with MUCH better screens. In this case go out and hold them in your hands, flex them a bit, look at the screens and you decide. I suspect you will buy another tablet after doin g this.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] alizahid:
I have been trying to get tintin to work on my View for the past week (which is not available for this device through the market) without any luck. I went to gameloft through the "100% HD Games" APP that comes with new HTC View 4G and saw TinTin HD available for this tablet. I bought it for $4.99 hoping it would finally work.

After paying with PayPal it took me to a page with the Download Link. I clicked on the link and got "Page Not Found". i think i have wasted my $4.99 and cant even figure out a way to download the +1 App for free (Promo going on NOW on Gameloft Games 1-22-11). Contacted GameLoft will update on what they say.

Just wanted to warn everyone so that no one else makes this mistake.

Well gameloft isn't really crapware. Bloatware possibly but def not crapware. They put out very quality stuff. I'm sure it wasn't a scam or anything like that. Im sure it was a glitch in the system and gameloft will quickly resolve it. Gameloft has very good customer service.
