[Atrix 4G General] tehrules:
That doesn't sound like a genuine Windows error to me. There is a nasty bit of spyware that is going round that does that exact error, or very similar wording.

The only way you'll know that if it genuinely does have bad sectors is by scanning the memory (sdcard/sdcard-ext), or looking in the event viewer for disk errors saying that the memory has a bad block.

Windows often pops up a "Scan and fix" window if you remove the drive (sdcard/sdcard-ext) while its working, or stick it in XP and then plug it back into 7.

Can you post a screen shot?
[Atrix 4G General] andri2805:
It hasn't happened for 6 days. It is most noticable when you use USB MotoCast and backup internal HDD.

Just like any HDD,once corrupted,takes AGES to transfer small amounts of data. (I.e 5min for the ˝final 1% / 1sec" ).

The error message is "Windows has encountered an error with your disk. The drive contains BAD SECTORS and needs to be fixed in order to continue. 1.Scan for file errors. 2.Search and fix bad sectors." Or something along those lines.

Quite upsetting!
[Atrix 4G General] andri2805:
Update, Motorola support replaces the main board on affected models.

Thank goodness for MotoCast backup.

Hello people i have a HTC HD2 with HSPL 2.08 and MAGLDR 1.13..with a nand android installed on it....

Now i want to flash a new android....

There is a new version of AmericanAndroid and i have the old one on my phone...

But it does not works....

I got to Number Five USB Flasher and then it says USB FLasher Mode

Waiting for USB... USB

then i run the exe on Windows and then it gives me an error sying:

An error has occurred

Read below for more information

Error Description: USB init failed

Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (736)

please help me

sorry for my bad english
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elesbb:
My recommendation would be to start over ,

1. Install Task29 Get into HTC bootloader by holding volume down while holding power up to turn on phone.

2. Flash MAGLDR by same method above but use the MAGLDR .nbh file

3. Flash recovery , phone should auto reboot into MAGLDR select USB flasher then use HD2 Toolkit to flash proper System partition size required by your android NAND build.

4. reboot
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] morphtm:
i got this error earlier when running the daf.exe on windows 7 cause the user you log in at startup isnt administrator so this one cant use the usb port directly. the solution is to right click the *.exe file, choose run as administratoor and hit yes or ok on the pop up windows from windows after asking if you are sure you want too.

this is the solution for your problem u got but i think that the recommandation from elesbb is the best way cause u can flash any rom via cwm easily and got the chance not to crash your data.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kylew1212:
Clk 1.5 Is your best bet. No USB required. I've written a guide on it if your interested. Link is in my signature.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elesbb:
when i flashed MAGLDR i used the RomUpdateUtility . not Daf.exe . Then i used HD2 Toolkit to flash the CWM recovery partition . upon launching of HD2Toolkit , it asks for administrator privlegas , without that you can not flash . and yes i love CWM over clK . just a personal preference not saying one is better or worse than the other
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kylew1212:
Cwm is different, its separate from magldr and clk. Cwm can be used for either bootloader.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Plainy:
Do it with the description of elesbb on post #2 and all will be o.k

In Step2 (Magldr)you take the RomUpdate Utility.exe .

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
OTA is not failing because it detected a "rooted" device per-se (it doesn't look for that at all)

It fails because the root method that was chosen accomplished its goal by using a modified kernel and the OTA patch update for the kernel won't work with a modified kernel. If the root method left the original kernel in tact and did the work through the ROM (as is done with the Auto Root sticky), then OTA would have worked (assuming no other changes other than root)

well eg31 actually did come factory on some phones. eg12 was eg30 without the patch. we had that for a long while until eg30 was pulled successfully. ek02 came next. then el13, el26, then el29.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Correct in concept.

EG31 is a leak of what we thought was EG30, but actually was built a day later. Parts were still labeled as EG30 or EG30-Rev5 which led to some initial confusion. The components were slightly updated from EG30, meaning for the purposes of the EK02 OTA update, it wasn't the same as EG30.

The OTA update that depended on EG30 was EK02 (not EL26)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manneman32:
Well, here it goes... I have a qouple of questions that I would like straighten out before I proceed.

I just got hold of a unused unbranded X10i for hardly any money at all. I managed to root it with the instructions here on XDA and it went fine... really easy, acually. Now I want to move a bit further to se the potential of the X10.

Here´s my questions:

As I understand I have to unlock the bootloader to be able to flash other kernels. If I use the descriptions here on XDA will my current setup disapear? Will I have to flash another ROM as I unlock the bootloader? Or will the current ROM be intact and give me the oppertunity to flash another ROM at a later time?

Witch ROM is the most bugfree? I want it for day to day use and I want everything to work, including WIFI-teahering. It would be nice to have the camera fully working aswell, with all 8 megapixels usable...

How about MIUI? Any in Swedish with the criterias I want? And CM7? Is that bug free?

I would love your input...

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuriJ:
U don't need to flash another ROM after u have unlocked bootloader. When u have a unlocked bootloader u can flash any ROM u want. If your on stock 2.3.3 & unlock ur bootloader u won't miss anything. About the stability of the ROMs.. Stock or stock based ROMs are the most stable ones.. MiUI or CM7 are never "totally" bug-free. All ROMs 'should' have the criterias u want
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bugly Astard:
I love MIUI and Cyanogenmod, but in all honesty probably the best rom on x10 is Erick Wills Ewjet. It has stock camera fully working, great themes and options available. Right now even his 2.1 rom would beat many for reliability and function. Im using Oodies MIUI prime 9, its fantastic and so is his cm7 but theres many I havent tried so start reading the developement threads to see what fits your needs, be sure to have a good backup program from the market like titanium or ultimate backup.

Hello all, my name is Matt.

I bricked my Epic 4G Galaxy S installing the EL13 firmware.

I had it rooted with CWM 5.0.2.7 (or whatever) with CleanGB 1.03 and the Samurai kernal (think it's 1.06, whichever is the latest). I was flashing it through Odin3 and it abruptly aborted and failed the transfer. I'm thinking it may have been a bad USB cable. I pulled the battery since it didn't reboot or take any button commands.

I does not show the Samsung logo, and when i plug in power/usb cable it does not show a red light. Do i have to do the Unbrickable MOD or is there anything I can do through a PC?

Try popping the battery in and out repeatedly while attempting to go into download mode. It will eventually reset the phone and work. Then try all USB ports until Odin reacts.

Buttons don't work in download mode, nothing works in download mode. It's not standard user mode. Get a better USB cord, and/or plug the cord into the BACK of your computer (ie USB port directly on the motherboard). If that doesn't work, try a newer computer. Also make sure ALL the drivers are installed and fully updated. Also, have Odin open and set up before plugging your phone in (obviously, while in download mode). You're not bricked yet!

he said he can't get into download mode. but you could always take it to sprint if you have insurance. just play dumb say the phone wanted to update and the batttery fell out or something like that. before you do that if you have a stand alone battery charger charge your battery on that and retry.

I'm going to be honest.

I have never heard of anybody recovering from flashing another phone's firmware. Ever. I know these forums have had people flash Captivate, Fascinate, and and Vibrant firmware but I haven't known any that got their phone to live again. I do know that the people doing the UnbrickableMOD at least WERE considering the Epic as a candidate. I haven't heard if they have the software out or anything yet. I'd suggest you contact them and if they don't have it working, and you can't do anything else with the phone, sell/donate it to them to help them get it working.

To be honest I feel bad. I should have a bricked device too by now. I've done some crazy stuff to this epic, from flashing off of a laptop with a loose battery, to flashing with a Samsung cable without the plastic at the end, it was basically a MicroUSB connector and wires. I hope you can get this sorted out.
