I was about to unroot my phone and send it back for repairs because of screen problems and restarts, but my screen completely went out. It doesn't show anything at all except the is the backlight but I am unable to see anything. The touchscreen works since I was able to unlock my phone but still unable to see. Is it a bad idea to send it back rooted? Also does anyone know if it is possible to see recovery mode through hdmi?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] King-Nai:
You should be able to NVFlash stock back onto it.

I was trying to install this (knowmydroid [D0T] com/blog/enable-hw-acceleration-on-stock-cm7-browser) (Enabling H/W acceleration on my browser). I manually copied to the 2 files into system/lib and (studiply) overwrite the files without backing them up first. Now my phone doesn't boot past the HTC boot screen. I can still access the recovery menu. I just don't know what to do without ****ing it up anymore then I have.

I'm running CM7 on my HTC Aria if that is relevant information.

That's the thread you need to start fresh with your phone. I realize the download link for the firmware is a megaupload link and no longer work. My advice would be to ask in the thread or to PM the OP to ask about a mirror for it.

[Droid X General] br0adband:
I have a chance to get a Droid X in "mint" condition today for about $75 and I'm considering it, but I wanted to ask a few basic questions that I wanted to just consolidate into one post instead of dropping questions all over the place in various threads. I did spend a few hours doing thread research and reading here and HowardForums and the Rootzwiki (and Cyanogenmod as well) so here goes:

- I'm assuming the bootloader is still locked on the Droid X as I see/saw threads with people doing a petition (like that's gonna change anything), so what exactly does that mean for the Droid X overall - I see some custom ROMs available so I'm confused: I thought having a locked bootloader meant you couldn't have custom ROMs or, are they all running from the microSD card?

- for anyone that bought a Droid X and used the stock ROM(s) from Verizon, does using a custom ROM (if you do so) help the battery life at all, and to what degree (and how bad/good is/was the stock ROM battery life anyway?)?

- I saw mention of ICS in several instances, and also along with some ROMs but, there doesn't seem to be a full fledged ICS ROM available (or is Liberty just such a thing?) so, are the chances high that ICS will never be fully fleshed out for the Droid X? I think I saw mention that there's "some" ROM now with ICS features but isn't the full fledged build, and that the camera doesn't work at all... just hoping for clarification on this. If it's an issue of "at some point we'll have ICS working proper, completely" then I suppose it's worth taking a chance now.

- Last question: would people think that $75 for a Droid X in near "mint" condition (seller's comment, haven't actually held it in my hand yet), a memory card (unknown size but most likely the stock 2GB card), and the charger/USB card is a somewhat decent deal? I've gone through several HD2's over the years and run all sorts of OSes on it, and while it arguably is the best damned enthusiast phone ever created, I am currently on the lookout for something different - can't afford a brand new dual core monster phone (I really want that Samsung Galaxy Note but it'll probably never happen).

While the Droid X is getting older, it seems like it's still a somewhat useful device overall so I'm really leaning towards getting this.

Any advice, info, or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
Edit: the X came with a 16gb [not 2]card, btw...so make sure to ask for that if you can.

A locked bootloader means no custom kernels...

But with the 2nd-init this means next to nothing that is negative for us.

We can run CM7, MIUI, and ICS.

These are 2nd-init roms that don't use any of Motorola's framework.

EncounterICS is definitely a daily driver rom...if you don't mind missing out on your camera.

This is the stock ICS experience.

Cm7 is fantastic.

Everything works.

Miui is fantastic.

Everything works.

Liberty and the other roms are 1st-init...meaning they use blur framework...and varying amounts of blur features...depending on the rom.

Battery?

On 2nd-init...we're at about stock levels.

1st-init may get slightly better than stock.

The X gets pretty darn decent battery life anyway...I wouldn't worry about it.

Our ICS ports might not have a working camera for quite some time...

But I'm sure they'll get there.

Is it a good buy?

I'd say yes.

The X has these features missing from the current top-tier phones...

4G

NFC

Front facing camera

Dual core.

We can even spoof the market into letting us download dual core games...

And overclock and use Chainfire3D to run said games.

It's a surprisingly nice phone...

If we had an unlocked bootloader...we'd have a fully functional ICS already.

But that's something for the devs to work on...and it really has no effect on us aside from a longer wait.

Check my sig for DX specific rom/root/tuts if you end up getting it.

Sorry for jumping all over the place...writing this on my phone!
[Droid X General] br0adband:
Came with 16GB originally, really? Damn that would be nice, but I won't find out till later today when I meet to get my hands on it. That would be awesome if it was one of the original ones but, I don't want to get my hopes up for it. Hell, Fry's carries 16GB microSD cards under $20 most every day now so it's not like it'll be a lot of money to get one. :)

No worries about the jumping all over the place - I've been online since 1977 (seriously, at a whopping 50 baud!) so I can keep up with disjointed thoughts and whatever. :D

As for the "missing features" on top tier phones, none of those are relevant to me at all, as weird as that might sound. I'm in Las Vegas and we're fairly blanketed here for 4G coverage but, I think that kind of speed (when it works) for cell/smart phones is still just a gimmick but that's just me.

So a solid CM7 ROM might be the best for me to get started I suppose. The owner texted me earlier to set the meeting time (another few hours) and confirmed she did reset the phone to factory condition which iirc means it's at the Android screen which means it's waiting to be activated - can you or anyone else confirm that the old 4-corner trick will bypass that activation so I can get into it and verify everything works? I probably won't bother with the actual activation anytime soon unless I find some good local pricing here in my area, but being able to demo the phone and make sure everything works is an absolute must.

And thanks for the response, the info was very helpful.
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
I'd agree with ya there.

We've yet to get 4G in my area...but even connecting to WiFi loading web pages takes about the same time...not like I'm downloading 3gig torrents on my phone.

But yes, 4-corners works.

Edit: Do an esn check too.

I think there are online tools to do so.

Or possibly calling Verizon if need be.

Calling ##program will bring I believe...or check behind the battery.

(I'm actually on a loaner right now...getting my phone repaired through Best Buy...so I can't verify this.)
[Droid X General] br0adband:
So I got the Droid X, it's in great condition but certainly not "mint" (people always say that and I don't think most know what mint actually implies - it should practically untouched by human hands).

Anyway, that CheckESNFree.com site says this one is clean and ready for activation so that's a plus, if that site is dependable of course. Always have to worry that someone would be creating a database of ESNs/ESIDs/IMEIs for some dastardly and nefarious purposes!!! :D

It's definitely a LOT snappier than my HD2 (listed in my sig) but it's also a slightly better internal architecture than the HD2 was, of course. Everything seems to function fine, not sure where to start so I'll much with it for the evening and see what gives. Came with a very tiny HTC 5V USB adapter, the original Motorola USB cable, and a separate USB charger as well.

Oh, and it does have the 16GB microSD card in it too. ;)

[HTC EVO 3D] novasource:
I am trying to install Fresh ROM 4.2 on my Evo 3D.

The instructions at geekfor.me (sorry, can't post direct link since I'm too new--search Google for fresh rom 4.2) have a terse warning about people like me with HBOOT 1.5. (Yes, I used the HTC unlocker.) I am supposed to download boot.img first, install it with Flash Image GUI, then install the ROM via recovery mode.

OK, so I got the boot.img installed OK, but when I go back into the bootloader, highlight RECOVERY, then press the power button, all that happens is I boot right back into the main OS.

I am supposed to use RECOVERY to install new ROMs, right?

I'm at a loss for what to do with the next step. I've tried searching forums, but each search comes up with a new, novel theory, unfortunately, and so far none seem to apply to my case.
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
Sounds like you got into the HBoot menu OK, but might have either not installed the recovery properly, or not at all.

Thank you. That could be true.

What recovery do you recommend for Evo 3D?

Seems like TWRP is popular, but it appears their recovery-twrp-shooter-1.1.1.img is broken as all I get is (remote: image error! (BootMagic check fail)) when installing it over fastboot.

CORRECTION: *I* had a bad copy of their .img file.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roniinn:
Hi,

I could really use help with my Novo 7 basic. I recently upgraded from honeycomb to Ainol's ICS version. I accomplished this using the normal flash method with the update.zip file copied to my 16G Mini SD. After the Rom update I installed several programs using ADB shell. I was having difficulty getting titanium backup to work and decided to upgrade my Rom to 4.0.3. I used the same method to flash my device with the update.zip file on my SD card. After the power up I get the android robot then the reboot but there is no change to the version of my Rom. I did a factory reset to my device. After the reset my device no longer had any of my previous installed apps but the version indicated in the settings is still 4.0.1. I have even attempted to flash back to honeycomb but no change occurs to my device. I then try to flash using CWM but I cannot get it to install on my device. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated

thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lenik:
Sorry for being a tad late...

Please, don't use CWM. It's a nice piece of the software, but version for Novo7 Basic/Paladin is buggy and you have a good chance to mess up your device.

If you push "menu" button (three lines) next to the screen during update, you'll get to see some messages, and this might give you a clue what's wrong.

Most probably you've got broken update file and the update process aborts right after verifying the signature. Redownload the file and/or check MD5 sum.

If nothing else helps, please, try another SD card, Novo7 tablets are quite picky about them.

Try flashing your phone again. then wipe data and cache. re install cm7 then wpie data and cache again. then reboot. that should set you straight.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
I am living with what I'll refer to as a successfully rooted NT...

Got 9.9.9 showing

installing a lot of apps - most work, some don't but that's due to no camera, bluetooth, etc. that I discover later

Now, as crazy as this may seem, I'm sure there are some of us out there who want to get our NT's as fully "droided up" as possible, and then, lo and behold, leave it alone. Just enjoy it (with all due credit to the devs who have made it possible!).

So, for the rest of us, can someone offer a "checklist" of any outstanding mods that should be done? I am not out here too much but what about this CM7 and/or CM9 I hear about? Will this represent the final frontier?

My goal in asking this question is to understand when I've reached a point where I no longer feel compelled to fiddle with my device, but also feel I've advanced it as far as technologically and functionally possible
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lenardo:
once we get a fully working cm7 and cm9, the NT will essentially be a full android tablet.

cm9 is ice cream sandwich(android 4), cm7 is gingerbread(android 2.3)

final frontier? maybe but right now both are in alpha stage development -and it has come really far in the past 2 weeks since the bootloader was cracked/hacked/bypassed
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
Great! Now, the question becomes, will it be necessary to install CM7 to get to CM9, or will it be possible to go right to CM9 (which I am assuming is the better of the two choices).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
straight to cm9
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
Anybody willing to risk a guess as to timeframe to CM9? Just curious...I'm patient.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lenardo:
When it's done. the main holdup on cm9 from reading the dev section is- sleep of death other than that essentially everything else works i believe. personally my guess is probably next week for an alpha release, but that is completely upto the people working on it.

no hardware video acceleration yet.

cm7 main holdup is wifi and sleep of death- again they fix those two items and -again- probably next week depending
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
Forgive my ignorance, but what is "sleep of death?" unless by that you mean bricking it. What would be the reason to go with CM7 if CM9 is apparently a more advanced version of android and is on a parallel development track?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mike_IronFist:
1 Sleep of death is basically the inability to wake the nook from sleep mode. On stock nooks and working android devices the power button usually puts it to sleep. Right now CM on the nook puts it to sleep without allowing it to wake. It doesn't brick the device but it requires you to hard reset/reboot the device to make it usable again. When I say "hard reset," I mean in the traditional sense (holding a button sequence or cutting off power to FORCE a restart the device). I do NOT mean a "factory reset" that erases everything.

2 CM7 is already fully developed and released on other devices. In theory it should be far more stable and reliable than CM9, which is bleeding edge and unfinished in general. In other words, CM9 is practically guaranteed to have more bugs since it's got so much new stuff in it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] StridAst:
cm9 is a different kernel then cm7. What this means is not all apps will work on cm9. cm7 in theory should have better app compatibility, but cm9 should be better optimized for the NT.

As for sleep of death, I am pretty certain what it is, is every time the tablet goes to sleep. it dies.... why by now they have probably buried dozens of poor helpless NTs who never got a proper chance at life.... all in the name of progress. (ok sarcasm aside, SOD is simply you can't bring it back out of sleep. while I suppose you could simply disable sleep mode, doing so would badly hurt battery life, Also I believe they are trying to get bluetooth up and running as well for cm9)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
So I hear you say cm7 = better app compatibility and cm9 = better optimized for the NT. In honor of super bowl season, sounds a bit like "great taste, less filling."

In other words, which would be the better choice between the two (assuming bugs have been worked out and both are stable)?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lenardo:
personal preference?

honestly, it'll be whichever you like best, with the way they have it setup to bypass the bootload in the nook tablet, you should be able to flash Either with the press of a button or two, try one for a week, try the other for a week, then decide which you like best.

you do have to remember cm7 is more for phones, which cm9 is more for tablets....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
I agree with lenardo. The better of the two is the one that meets your needs. That said, I am more looking forward to CM9. I installed it on my phone a month ago and love it. It feels so much more polished. Not that I had any issues with CM7, but it just feels like "this is what Android should be." But beware ... once you start flashing and modding, it's quite addictive.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
Thanks - based on your reply and what I was reading in a recent thread on choosing CM7 or CM9, I think I'll wait for 9 since I don't have the phone , only the NT.

I assume there will be some big announcement and posting along with step by step installation instructions?
