Thanks all for your kind assistance, managed to use Odin to restore back to stock and will build my own jig to reset the counter before sending it to service center to get the problem resolved.

As we chinese are still celebrating our Chines New Year, wishing you guys Gong Xi Fa Cai - have a prosperous year!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hskeik:
Thanks Allah (God) I had this problem, and just solute it.

from odin installed ICS Rom (Litenin 2.0 for galaxy s 2 "My Device")

then it worked well thanks God, and then I mounted the usb device and checked error from Windows 7 .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] firefox73:
I have a similar issue with USB storage damage message.

I DO have CWM but what options do I need to make to recover the phone to its prior self? Will doing this wipe the external SD card?

My external card appears to be 100% healthy and runs fine on my PC, although the phone can not now detect it.

Really look forward to any advice and to getting the phone back up and running.

Thanks

I have recently bought a Ziio 7 and tried to root it using the instructions provided on this thread and several others. I have gotten Pandora and Google Maps to work, but when I go to push and install the google framework, I get an error that says it cannot parse the package. I have the market installed and it will come up, but it says I need to associate an account with it. I understand I need the framework to do this. I use the most up to date superoneclick program and it says I have root. I just still can't do anything with it and when I boot a program after I have rooted it that would detect root, I don't have it. Any ideas here? I think I may need to go into the operating system and start adjusting things, but I really don't want to mess with that.

Figured I'd start a general discussion thread about the petition to Acer and also about raising the bounty to interest more devs.

We can discuss these things in here rather than polluting other threads :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] lpfan211:
Will be donating what I can the beginning of Feb.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] d2theaher69:
willing to donate as well
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pr0crast1nate:
Awesome! Thanks guys!

I don't expect we'll get thousands but anything will help. If we can even raise enough for one device to get it to a dev, that would be awesome!

On another note, we seem to be doing well with the petition so far! :) Tell your friends, share on Facebook, make sure you "like" it which makes it go viral in other people's feeds etc!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] danifunker:
I signed the petition already, but I don't know how much a dev can do to specifically unlocking a bootloader. I understand the bootloader is encrypted, which means that unless we have they key we won't be able to boot our own custom roms flashed through recovery. Although I have been following on my Droid3 forums about how devs have created some workaround solutions for using the stock bootloader and somehow getting around it, although I believe it is more complicated than that. The user Hashcode knows a lot about that sort of stuff on the motorola droid platforms. I'm not sure how much he can help but it might be a good starting point?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] enyce9:
I gotta get in front of a real computer so I can donate a few bucks.

Can somebody reach out to Hashcode, he might be willing to help out.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pr0crast1nate:
Done! PM'd him.

I am not a developer, I am just a normal phone geek that enjoyed MIUI, and found this following site with a MIUI build.

MOD Edit: Link Removed due to registration, and general shadiness.

I know that MIUI is old news for some of you, and dislike the ROM, however for those, such as my self, that are MIUI fans I found a beta build of MIUI for the charge in another web site "z4cellforum" by Cjen. Since XDA is usually the best place for ROMs, I thought I'd share this links with you guys.
[Verizon Droid Charge] adrenaline_rush:
Nice link. Can't even view anything before signing up. And not everyone uses facebook! /rant
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
I don't care enough to log in and look, but there was a guy that popped up here and on Rootz a week or two ago claiming to have a MIUI build which turned out to just be an EP1 GummyCharged build that was poorly modified and had a few MIUI app replacements. I didn't look at it myself, but others whom I respect reported it to be a total hack job.

Anyone know if this is the same build?
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Same link from here

Closing due to registration, and general shadiness. Also getting this out of Development forum.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
As far as I can tell, the new Telstra HTC Velocity is a Holiday/Vivid/Raider which has to be the most complciated mess off device renames I've seen in a while.

I have the option comming up at my work to go for 1 of three phones.

1. HTC Velocity on Telstra(holiday/vivid/raider)

2. Galaxy Nexus on Telstra

3. Galaxy S II (first version, on telstra)

SO this is addressed to people who own this handset, or a few handsets. DO you think I should go for the Velocity, or one of the others, if so why?

The Velocity has the fastest cpu (telstra version is 1.5Ghtz) and is the only one with LTE, however I'm not the biggest fan of Sense UI and I don't live or work in an LTE zone yet, wont be getting an LTE upgrade here for another 6 months. and the nexus appears to have a higher resolution screen.

Anyway, I'm incomming from a HTC HD2, which is awesome for flashing and such but mine is getting old and overheating so I will be glad to move on, does anyone know my chances of flashing roms/rooting the HTC Velocity easily?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] naturalb0rnkiwi:
Hey David,

Im currently using the SGS2 and LOVE it, but i do live in a 4G zone, i took home the demo today, and am doing some research on flashing as i am a bit of a nerd/freak when it comes to these things, and use alot of apps that require Root, so without that, its a no go for me... but the speed is PHENOMENAL! amazing, and to be quite honest, even on standard 3G/NextG gets far better coverage and 3G speeds than my galaxy, 10mb/s on the Velocity - on 3G and only 3MB/s on the Galaxy s2... I am cm's away from buying it :)

Hope this helps and if anyone has any more news, or if you can use Vivid/Raider ROMS on the velocity, as it has the same op sys... and sence... let me know!!!

cheers
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
So you would say the velocity is much better than the galaxy s ii?

Thank you
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kychan79:
Got my HTC Velocity 4G today.

Managed to get boot loader unlocked via HTCDev but device is still S-On

Will try rooting and will update you guys
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Wiingy:
Yea iirc the HTCDev tool don't give you S-off, it just allows you to flash a new rom.

If you want to flash a new radio you will need S-off.

Keep us updated how you go flashing a new rom, ty.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Devin.Morris.007:
Ive had my HTC Vivid on ATT for about a month. Finally decided to go android after 5 years of iPhone use. Anyways, From what I can tell, like you said, the vivid and the velocity are more or less the same phone, just on different carriers. The phone is a solid handset, the battery life is average, its fast and even though I dont live in an area with LTE service, it still rocks on on HSPA+. Great phone, love mine, highly recommend it. As for not liking the Sense UI, if you arent concerned about your warranty, you can always root it and load a custom ROM onto it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
Thanks guys, good info.

Looking forward to seeing how kychan79 does with his, I should get mine in a few days I think I'm sold on the Velocity :D

I've noticied I can get extended batteries for the "raider" version, 3600mAh sounds boss, I have an extended battery for my HD2 so I'm used to the cover hump.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] naturalb0rnkiwi:
I wouldnt say it is 'much' better, but it is better, in terms of speed, yes, but in terms of spec... no... the 1.5ghz is supposedly inferior to the 1.2, and 1.4 dual cores seen in the s2, and new galaxy tablets. However, i am fond of the speed and will be upgrading to an LTE device, and if we can crack the bootloader in these HTC's i will more than likely be upgrading to one :)

cheers

does the weight go up much with the ext battery??? i am so used to my galaxy s2, (116grams) im scared of the extra weight, i used the Desire HD for a while back in the day.. hated the extra weight... thoughts???
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
if you hate weight, avoid the extra battery, I prefer my phone to be weighty :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MarrkDaviid:
I work for an online mobile store, and have used both the Samsung Galaxy S II and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus for an extended period of time. I also bought the HTC Velocity 4G yesterday.

The HTC Velocity 4G is currently the best device out in Australia, if speed is important to you! Not only does the device have 4G, though it also has dual band HSPA+, which makes it faster than most devices on the Next G network. I uploaded a video to YouTube yesterday, showing how much faster the HTC Velocity 4G runs on the Next G network, when compared to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

You can search YouTube for 'HTC Velocity 4G dual band HSPA+ test' if you want to watch the video, I am unable to post links, as I am a new user.

There are however three things that disappoint me about the device:

1. The device is a bit heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Nexus

2. The device came with Android 2.3.7, rather than Android 4.0 (Should be released in a month)

3. HTC Sense

The Galaxy Nexus is a great device, it is light, thin and stylish. It also obviously has Ice Cream Sandwich, gets updated directly from Google (depending on where you get the device from), and doesn't have crap like HTC Sense on top of Android. The device however has a darker screen than most devices (not necessarily a bad thing), and the camera is pretty ****ty, though in all fairness, I was comparing it to the camera on the iPhone 4S, which makes all other mobile cameras look bad.

The Samsung Galaxy S II is a great device if you don't want a device as big as the Galaxy Nexus and don't want to spend as much. I also don't mind the software that Samsung puts on top of Android, it is a lot better than HTC Sense.

This is the reason why I logged onto XDA Developers today, I am wanting to ditch the HTC Sense / Telstra ROM for a good custom ROM, or if at all possible, a clean ICS ROM.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jebise101:
I would have went with the Galaxy Nexus (AOSP and no bloat HELLz YES,)if it wasn't the limited storage. 16GB is easy to fill and i need more if it was 32GB it would have been a done deal for me. Coming from the Galaxy S upgraded to the SII and within 2 days exchanged for the Raider.

SGS ans SGSII not much difference some but not much TouchWiz just plane sucks in my opinion lockscreen is horrible widgets limited. With my SGS i used ADW launcher just to avoid TouchWiz. Sense maybe a resource hog but it meets everything i was looking in a phone that the SII did not provide. with my first SGS i found myself hack and modding it to hell just so i can get it the way i want it to work and installing apps like widget locker etc. The Raider does not lag and i use this think like a mini computer everything is on with auto sync set to every hour. People say the battery is average i beg to differ i think its amazing battery for a 4.5" device. On very heavy days i get 12-14 hours on medium days it has last 2days and low even 3 days.

This is after i rooted and removed bloat, without bloat i would get max 12 hours on low usage. Still running stock, I like hacking/modding but to much trial and error and not enough time, with the Raider i do not need to mod it just to get basic functionality like SMS prompt or change tracks on lockscreen when phone is locked with pin/pass/pattern. It may seem small for others but that was a deal breaker for me. I need the phone locked but still have access to simple things like music and SMS from lockscreen and should not have to purchase apps like widget locker. Another big reason to jump ships was again weather in lockscreen, here up north weather can be very unpredictable so having that on the lockscreen is a great addition for me and it has saved me a few times already.

If i went SGSII first thing i would do is flash CM9 but then again its not really ready and has bugs.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] adizz131:

Very happy that it is getting ICS by end of Feb / Early March.

Excelllent!! A velocity thread!!

I just got mine yesterday! Love it. I came from an inspire with wcx Rom.. this is on par with how my inspire was... But I know this phone can be twice as good...

I have a few questions...

How Did you unlock boot loader? Did you select vi I'd from the list on htcdev.com?

If I unlock bootloader will I lose my Telstra warranty?

Can it be undone?

If I flash a new Rom can the phone be returned to stock easily enough?

if I flash a new Rom with wcx which is based on at.t... Will I lose my 1800 MHz LTE?

Sorry about all the novice questions...

One last thing.. when I had my inspire with sense 3.5 it seemed to have more features like the arrows in keyboard. And more items in the power menu... What's up with these disappearing?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
I'm getting mine on monday :D

I also ordered an extended battery online (2600mAh) and the HDMI adapter just for funzies, so I'll let you folks know how well they work :D

If you want a keyboard with arrows, I use "hackers keyboard" off the market which I love, on my current android NAND htc HD2.

Thanks for the info, especially mark david, good stuff, and I didn't know about the dual-band HSDPA+ that certainly sounds lovely as I do not live in a 4G area (yet, they are upgrading jun/jul)

I would phone telstra to get the info direct from them RE: unlocking the bootloader. As for the rest, don't know yet sorry :D

This thread is reallyt growing, they need an HTC Velocity Section on XDA :):)

Im getting my Velocity Tomorrow :)

Will crack bootloader tomorrow as soon as i finish work! :)

Talk soon!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
why? its the same hardware. same phone. hell, my rom is based from the velocity RUU.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kozmikkick:
Just a thought. Shouldn't we be able to use the velocity kernel to get 1.5ghz? Since they're essentially the same device just one is undervolted and one is not?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
if you are running my rom, you are running the velocity kernel. its going to take more than just flashing that kernel though. unfortunately, i am not a kernel guru, or i would know what else it would take.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zeu569:
Where did you order the accessories from? I cant find anything for this phone at the moment? Or did you search for "Vivid"
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
on ebay I search for HTC HOLIDAY, HTC VIVID and HTC RAIDER accessories, as the hardware is identical aside from the CPU running slightly faster by default on the velocity instead of being underclocked, so all accessories for vivid and raider fit and are compatable with the Velocity.

Wouldnt you be able to "overclock" the 1.2Ghtz units with SetCPU to 1.5 anyway once you have root?

I think they should rename the HTC Vivid section, like the HD2 section is the leo/HD2 section, this should be something like "HTC Holiday (Vivid/Raider/Velocity)" or something like that to make it easier to find when searching on google or scanning the forum for "your phone" it was only a fluke I discovered that the Velocity was the same as the Vivid :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] psupernak:
Hey bud I'm in the same boat as you. I have a Telstra velocity but am scared to unlock bootloader for warranty reasons.. have you looked into it? I only ask as its the first phone I've had in a while which I actually had to pay top dollar for. He vivid is so cheap over in the us but as you know we have a unique LTE band...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] naturalb0rnkiwi:
Sorry i didnt know, im new to the HTC Scene, and am quickly getting the fact that alot of their models are named differently but the same hardware more or less... anyhow cheers for your input.

Hey mate,

Have not dealt with HTC in terms of bootloader for a long time, so a bit of reading tonight and il be all over it again... brought the phone today and know exactly what you mean.. but in terms of unlocking the bootloader, im pretty sure its gonna be the same as the vivid, but will make sure anyhow... let me know your progress also.

Ive been modding the Galaxy S2 for the last 8-10 months since release, and loved it, but they are so much easier than the HTC's.. but once im refreshed in 'HTC Land' again, ill be sweet as :)

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MarrkDaviid:
Did you order generic accessories, or accessories for the international versions?

I might check it out, have been using SwiftKey X, and the GO Keyboard is alright.

No worries, the dual band HSPA+ is what sealed the deal for me, as I do not live in a 4G area either.

I wouldn't waste my time calling them, when I called to ask a question about the HTC Velocity 4G, they didn't even know that the device existed, lol.

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

Thanks, would love to know how to put a clean ICS ROM on the device eventually, if this is at all possible. I am unfortunately a bit of a n00b when it comes to flashing, and don't want to end up with an $864 brick. :)

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] naturalb0rnkiwi:
After all my reading,I can see your point here pg, I now understand is same thing ,but it would be a lot easier if it were at l least mentioned in the section..a combined thread would be fine.

Pg - if you don't mind,what kernal is the best out at the moment? And what's the go with radios/modems like in Samsung devices? I'm finding since flashing a Rom,I'm getting worse coverage..is this normal? Thanks in advance
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
since we dont really have any 'custom' kernels yet, there really isnt a best. just use the kernel intended for the rom you are flashing

as for radios. we cant flash them until we have s-off, but honestly, there isnt really a need to flash them...since we dont actually have any to select from.

you could be getting worse signal with a rom, depending on which rom and what its base is, due to mismatched RILs. RILs are contained within the rom and i have set my rom up for AT&T users. anyone else would likely need RILs for their specific carrier/radio/version of phone. which reminds me, i promised zombie some RIL flashable zips. i need to finish that up today.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] naturalb0rnkiwi:
Thanks for that,appreciate it..

Just one more,how would I get what I need for my version? Telstra Australia? It's just the lte part of it that I'm noticing,but will experiment more today,may try your Rom.. maybe will be better ? When do you think there maybe custom kernals,if any..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MarrkDaviid:
I understand that the device is available in other regions with slight differences. When you are not experienced with rooting and putting on custom ROMs (apart from the 1 click programs), and you spent $800+ on the device, you tend to be cautious.
