[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolamom:
Thanks so much for the help. Ascallop: I tried to run Heimdall suite 1.3.1. The first time the drivers installed but I could not get passed the "run as administrator" on the next step. I have Windows XP professional even though I am on a home computer. It is automatically checked off to do so. When I tried again later that day, my computer again only recognized the vibrant as an unknown device. I just followed your link to Cyanogenmod's wiki and downloaded the older version and the same thing happened with the unknown device. I can't get passed that. Trailblazerz11, I think when I got to clockwork mod recovery, I hit repartition (if I am explaining that right). I was able to get into download mode and use Odin to get to the bootloader loop. I can't get into recovery. I was getting the message about the internal sd error. Now, I am stuck with the unknown device issue. I have tried a couple of different versions of Odin, the AIO toolbox, different usb ports, a new samsung cord, etc. Thanks again for helping this noob.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolamom:
update: Used heimdall frontloader and installed cmenard overstock. Now I am stuck at the overstock screen. I am searching through different posts to find out more. But if you have any advice or can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Thanks again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] younix258:
Have you tried repartition on odin?

sent from the xda app on my android smartphone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascallop:
Do you have an external SD card installed? If so, then remove it during the entire recovery process. I had lots of trouble recovering and flashing new kernels/roms while it was installed. Probably should have mentioned this earlier... sry.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolamom:
No. It was already taken out. I am having trouble still with the vibrant not being recognized. I used the zadig, it recognized the samsung, did the next step, frozen at overstock screen. Now, after unplugging cable, Vibrant pops up as unknown device. Can't do zadig again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascallop:
I'm travelling until Friday, when I get back to my home PC, I'll odin my Vibrant back to stock Eclair and will list the steps that I took some months ago to install CWM/CM7. I once was at the same point as you are now, I just can't remember the steps verbatim regarding the recovery process. One question though: have you updated your phone via Kies at any point? If so, was the last update to Froyo?

BTW, I'm currently running (quite happily) ICS Passion V12 on my T-Mobile Vibrant.

The Vibrant is a pretty hard device to truly brick. Don't worry too much, yet.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolamom:
Thanks so much ascallop! I think I tried Kies when froyo was offered as an update through Samsung. But, it wouldn't work. I thought it was because my phone came unlocked so I came here and was able to update to froyo and I loved it. I haven't used Kies since. The ICS Passion looks awesome. I think the ease of using froyo made me ridiculously overconfident. As of right now, I have gotten the drivers to download in Heimdall and used the frontend to flash the kernel. I'm not sure what to do next because it seems that if I reboot to get into download or unplug the usb, the computer won't recognize the phone again. I'm sure I'll be happily running ICS when you get back on Friday. Kidding, kidding.

Let's get your phone back to Stock first. I just did this to my own Vibrant :-)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolamom:
I am officially back to stock!!! Thanks so, so much. After all of the reading and researching, you actually jumpstarted my recovery! Thanks again!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascallop:
You're welcome :-)

BTW, I flashed ICS V12r1 with Nelson's new kernel today. I love it. GPS works great for me, although others have reported problems. Same old deep sleep issue for them.

I wonder if flashing back to stock first is the key to fixing the prob. Don't really know though...

After the stock flash, the steps I took were:

copied kernel and rom to the internal sd card

One-click rooted the phone

odin (1.3) the Overstock kernel just to get cwm installed (instructions on the cm7 wiki)

reboot to cwm

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache/dalvik

flash rom

reboot, let settle

reboot to cwm

flash kernel (I used: ICS_Passion_sunset_with_nova)

reboot, let settle

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

One more thing: I flashed the Gingerbread bootloader as well. After you do this the key combo for cwm is: Vol-up + power. Let go when you see the boot splash.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolamom:
Sounds sweet! Although I'm back to stock, I can't root because I can't access the internal drive. A message comes up about E: no such file, etc. I can see the phone storage memory amount and the phone holds data. I don't have an external card in right now. So, here I go again....:)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascallop:
You shouldn't need an external card to root. Try One click root:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashmundy:
When I've seen that E: error, it has been because of a mismatch between the CWM version and the filesystem layout on the device. CWM for CM7 doesn't work for ICS, for example. At least not for me.

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

And of course the stock recovery won't work with anything else. Different partitioning, different filesystems.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolamom:
Okay. I was able to root with the one click root app. Now, I need to figure out what to do next. Ascallop, I was reading about your latest updates. I have to go through it a few times so that I can understand it all. I had froyo before and it blew away stock. I can't imagine what ICS is like :) Thanks again for all of the help. I HATE being back to stock.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashmundy:
The only reason I'm not running ICS is that I'm waiting for CyanogenMod permissions management to appear in anyone ICS rom. I'm really tempted to try Passion. ICS is markedly better than the best GB in various ways. Just remember to take a nandroid backup before upgrading, and that if something doesn't work and you need to downgrade, you will have to get the downgrade done successfully before you can nandroid-restore. Good luck!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolamom:
Thanks Cashmundy. I saw the video for the root and install ice cream sandwich by Eddie West (I think that is his name.) He is a dj also. It looks like everything I would need so I may go with that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashmundy:
Cool. Good luck!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascallop:
Good luck nolamom :-)

For me, I'm actually back on Froyo (bionix 1.3.1 with wifi calling). I switched to ICS mainly out of curiosity, and because it looked like wifi calling support was imminent. Wifi calling is really important to me because I travel abroad alot and roaming charges can be horribly expensive. When someone manages to get wifi calling to work on ICS I'll switch back in a heartbeat though. I really love it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolamom:
I am now running ICS!!! I followed the video tutorial and everything worked out perfectly! I'm loving it so far and haven't stopped fooling around with the phone since. I really need to put it down soon as I do have kids that apparently need to be fed from time to time:p Ascallop, I suppose going back to froyo is a nice tradeoff for getting to travel abroad. It's been way too long since I've gotten to do it. Hope you get to enjoy it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascallop:
Great news nolamom, enjoy!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashmundy:
Enjoy ICS! Keep an eye out for CM9, should be ICS++.

Hello xda-dev,

I'm looking for the right place to discuss font display issues on android. Specifically, I'm having some problems displaying characters with multiple diacritics. I believe I've isolated the problem to android, because the same fonts on the same data look great on other platforms.

I'm open to irc if that's around, I found that the #android and #android-dev rooms on freenode require some sort of special account to post to the room. I wonder if there's anything open and free?

Maybe there's a sub-forum somewhere on here that can help? Thanks for any ideas!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enelyam:
Okay heres a simple question about a mytouch 4g, the phone is s-on and 0.86 hboot. My question is, do i need to make a gold card to install the stock firmware on it or can i just put the stock firmware on the sdcard and install it??? I dont know what happened to the phone that it wont start up normally so any help appreciated
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinnyt:
Easiest thing to do now is factory reset. Thats what I did with mine.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
Put the stock firmware on the sdcard and flash. You don't need a gold card to upgrade.

-Team MS
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enelyam:
Well, the problem i found is that if i put the image file on an empty and formatted sd card the phone will say wrong image file. Yes, its not named PD15IMG.zip.zip or anything like that. And its the same image i have used to flash other mytouch 4g back to stock.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enelyam:
Also, can someone point me to the right direction to find the gingerbread update for the MT4G because the links in here are extinguished because of the megaguys been caught.... Thanks! Since the Foyo doesnt want to work maybe the Gingerbread will who knows.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
The file for flashing in bootloader has to be named PD15IMG.ZIP, or it won't work. To flash anything else, you'll need recovery in place, which you don't have.

You won't be able to flash the same version of firmware as you had, only newer one.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enelyam:
Well, if that is the case then i need the gingerbread version for the mytouch 4g. And all the links i had were From the MEGAproblem website. I need a link to download the gingerbread version....
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enelyam:
Okay i finally got the gingerbread version for the mytouch 4g. But the problem persist!!!!! I'ts very frustrating because im used to do this and for some reason this phone wont read the IMG file no matter what. Since i dont know how it ended up like that. The only thing i know its that it will get to the bootloader and everything works fine with that. Other than that it will not respond to any of the 2 IMG files(Froyo or ginger). I tried to rename it PD15IMG.zip. Left it as is PD15IMG which is the way im used to use it but NOTHING!!!! It's very weird to say the least....
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Does it say "wrong or non-existing file"?

If yes - reformat your SD card, put the file on it and try again.

Does it say "main image is older"?

In that case, find the latest Gingerbread PD15IMG, because you don't have the latest one.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enelyam:
Okay, i have the 312mb PD15IMG which i think is the Froyo. And also have the 315mb Which as far as i can recall is the Gingerbread version. And yes, it says wrong image file nothing about no image file. I will double check on that then and let you guys know thanks...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperSwaggtastic:
where did you get the stock froyo and gingerbread IMGs?

im having the same problem (i think)

when the phone is powered on, it boots straight to the bootloader, i thought well ill just factory reset it, no dice, it just shows the three androids on the skateboards then reboots into the bootloader again, i tried to get into the recovery and it did the exact same thing. the phone is my friends and he gave it to me to fix, he says its stock so i want to just flash the updates to see if that fixes the problem

I'm looking for app, soft or any kinda a programm, which is like "Game Booster" for PC.

Example: Widget, that stays on home screen and you can change MODS between gaming mod where performace goes up by closing most of unneeded apps and increasing RAM (overclock not needed, it can be done by yourself).

And switch to daily use, where your apps that you need daily are turned on, performace goes less, but it's not for gaming..

Maybe out there, is that kinda app and you could share it to me.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumz786:
Hi, just wanted to ask, when replacing a digitiser or LCD from eBay or amazon, does it affect the original resolution and quality of the touch or anything from the original manufacturer's digitiser and lcd?

Also, what size adhevise should I order to stick the LCD back onto the frame as well as sticking back on the New digitiser to the old LCD? 3M, 3mm, 2M or which one?

Thanks a lot :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master-and-blaster:
Well I've repaired a couple of HTC HD with broken digitizers and my tips are:

* Be sure to hear up the whole display module (Chassis, Digitizer, LCD) in order to get the digitizer of ass painlessly as possible. I usually just bake it in the oven for like 5-10 minutes on like 100 degrees celcius or lower. Hair drier works but it's hard to spread the heat evenly.

* I buy my digitizers from Ebay, works like a charm.

* The double sided standard HTC adhesive isn't strong enough to hold the glass. I usually combine it with glue. What glue to use? I dunno about any brands but it's important it's a kind that doesn't dry quickly and can be reheated. Do not use super glue unless you're very careful. Cause if you get dust in there and try to pry it open again while super-glued...hey forget about it...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumz786:
Thanks for the tips, but does it affect the quality of touch or resolution from the original manufacturers digitizer?

[Samsung Captivate Glide] LagunaCid:

[Samsung Captivate Glide] gattman:
I don't believe it is. Some of the reviews I read said it does, but on Corning's site, it doesn't list this phone as having it.

Also, many reviews said it has 8GB internal space, but mine only shows 4GB.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
First 8 GB is really around 7.5GB as you need to divide by 1024.

2 gigs internal installing apps partition.

4 gigs SD internal.

I guess the other 1.5 is reserved for the restore and the OS.

Someone correct me if I am wrong. I agree seems misleading when we only see 6GB of the actual supposed 7.5 (8GB)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevisionZero:
I have never heard of a USB issue from dust, the only time it should affect something is charging or when the port is actually in use. As far as cleaning it goes, I would try high pressured air slanted toward the port (if that makes any sense), which should get rid of most as the ports themselves have backs so the air should push in, hit the wall, and force dust out.
