[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonicraw:
I am in really desperate need of help! I know many see me as a noob and a new user or whatnot but I just had a major accident with my HTC Desire with U.S Cellular. The phone is about 14 months old now but it is working like new still because I take good physical care of it.

Anyways, today I wanted to install a new Rom with Sense 3.0 from my current 2.2 Froyo from RUU. The Thread for the rom I wanted said that the CM7 r2 partition table was recommended and so I went on following the aplharev site were I had to download the CM7 r2 hboot.img (I already had S-Off and Hboot 1.06.0000 with Root)

I went my way booting into Hboot and then Fastboot on my pc. I used Fastboot commander 1.51 and made the flash for the hboot using CM7 r2. This however, is when the problem resulted. After I flashed my Hboot from the previous 1.06.0000

to the new CM7 r2, my phone screen instantly Blacked out. It was as if it died. Then I figured it may be part of the partitioning, so I Deleted my cache, boot, and entire system (I figured that with a nandroid backup, I was invincible... I was very wrong...)

After everything started getting worse, I figured it was time to reverse back to my nandroid. I clicked the "Flash all/Restore Nand" button but instantly I was given:

STARTING FLASH OF NANDROID FILES.

Flashing "boot" - PLEASE WAIT.

"boot" flash FAILURE.

FLASH OF NANDROID FILES FAILURE - "BOOT" FAILURE.

This is were I knew I was... finished... I can't use my phone as the screen is pitch black, the system is deleted because of my "Genius" self, and because the screen is black as if turned off, I can't access the "Recovery" since I am blind of my actions. I tried looking and spending literally 5-6 hours searching forums, downloading, attempting, and of course, failing.

The only thing I CAN ACCESS is Fastboot. When I power my phone, it vibrates with a dead black screen. If i power on with Volume down following power button again, I can access fastboot on my PC.

If anyone out there with a good heart can help me, that would be the best thing ever for me! I feel soo depressed now because this is my everyday phone and now... I am phoneless... The sooner I get help, the better. I need to know the possibilities to fix this issue :0

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
I think Alpharev meant to be for Bravo not Bravoc, flash downgrade reboot fastboot and flash RUU, hope this helps
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonicraw:
Alright. So how would that be in a step by step situation?

How do I flash the RUU? I'm sorry but I am still a noob learning :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Jesus. Why do you cdma users keep doing this?

You're going to be lucky if you haven't bricked your device.

All you can really do is see if you can ruu. Of course, the Rom won't fit in the cm7 so you're going to have to hope your ruu's hboot will be a higher version. If not you'll have to flash the downgrade image first.

Best of luck
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonicraw:
Ok then. I have downloaded the HTC 2.2 Froyo RUU from U.S Cellular linked by HTC website but now how do I flash it? It is an exe file. I am still trying to understand how to do all this :0 I am really sorry for annoying anyone :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It runs from a windows pc. Put your phone in Fastboot (from off hold back and press power) connect usb and run ruu
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonicraw:
Alright. I powered on phone into Hboot then fastboot (Windows 7 makes the USB detection sound when fastboot is detected). I am still blind since the black screen shows no image. Anyways, I started off running the "HTC Desire Froyo 2.11.573" RUU that I downloaded from HTC/U.S Cellular website (171Mb) and then I clicked the "Next" screen following up by another "Next" and then the big rectangular box saying "Verifying Information on your Android phone. Please wait..." but after about 30 seconds I get a error:

"ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR

This error message will appear when the Android phone is not correctly connected to the host PC. It might be a USB connection problem or a PC USB driver problem. Make sure the Android phone is connected to the host PC correctly and/or check if the PC driver matches the Android phone."

I have Fastboot Commander V.1.51 running and it detects usb just fine as I can display the system info with it, so I don't see how the RUU is not finding the Desire under Fastboot.

So then I flashed the hboot with the "bravo_downgrade.img" from AplhaRev website

like you guys stated and then re approached the situation with the same process. Still keep getting the errors of "ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR" :(

I don't know what to do now... Any additional advice? Am I on the right track? Maybe I'm missing something? If all goes or seems worse, I do have a school friend with the SAME HTC Desire CDMA with U.S Cellular carrier like me. He is updated with Froyo 2.2 and his phone works just as fine as mine once did before my idiot self caused this mess. He however, has no root nor S-Off.

So what can I do now? Gold card attempt maybe? I have not read anything about this but I only heard that it helps recover "bricked" Desire that is SLCD. Another slight problem, I don't know if my Desire is SLCD or not... I know only that it is CDMA *I know, frustrating dealing with a noob like me*.

It sucks not having a phone. 1 day already. I can only have patience until I finally fix my phone with the help of a good heart.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
Power to fastboot power and back button..

Will fastboot recognize your phone?

Fastboot devices

If you get long number that is a good sign

You must run RUU or any fastboot command while you are in fastboot mode, not hboot

Should be long number
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonicraw:
Ok still no go. I ran what you said "fastboot devices" using Fastboot Commander V.1.51 and got the following:

-----------------------------------.

Running fastboot command - PLEASE WAIT.

###Calling fastboot with: devices###

HT0BTHM01381	fastboot

********************************

After I got this, I ran the RUU again, and still getting "ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR"
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
fastboot see your device that is good

extract rom.zip from ruu (see video in step 7 of bortak guide)

then

1 fastboot oem rebootRUU

2 fastboot devices - if you see your htxxxxxxxxxxxx no. then go to step 4

3 if not pull battery out anf boot to fastboot and start from step 1 again

4 fastboot flash zip rom.zip

5 fastboot reboot-bootloader
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonicraw:
Alright then. Sorry for late reply. I had an intense amount of much school work to get done from Calculus and other major subjects but I managed to follow your directions and the RUU just won't detect the darn phone! Keep getting USB Error not stop. So I decided to use my brain.

I extracted the ROM from RUU in the "%TEMP%" folder and kept it in "MY Documents". After, I took a deeper look into the Rom using Winrar, and found this file "hboot_8x50_1.06.0000.img". I wondered... Hm.... What if I extract it from Rom, and flash it into my current 6.93.9999 Hboot? So I did.

After, the minute It was flashed, WOLA! I have a working SCREEN AGAIN! I can SEE! Now however, a few things have changed.

SPL/hboot version: 1.06.0000.

Radio version: 2.15.00.11.16.

Main software version: 2.11.573.5.

cid: utsi_001.

cpld: none.

product: bravoc.

mid: pb9940000.

security: on.

build-mode: ship.

My S-ON is back and I have no boot screen what so ever. EX: If I power off phone and back on, it INSTANTLY goes into hboot screen. Doesn't even bother with an "HTC LOGO". *May be because I deleted all the partitions of boot, system, ect.

Moving on, tried running RUU again. Not a single working method! USB ERROR.

Then I tried flashing the "rom.zip" extracted from the RUU using Fastboot Commander but after about 1 minute I get this:

********************************

###Calling fastboot with: flash zip C:\Users\Jona\Downloads\HTC Desire Froyo 2.11.573 ROM\PB99IMG.zip###

writing 'zip'... INFOadopting the signature contained in this image...

INFOsignature checking...

********************************

Any idea's what to approach next? I am SUPER happy I can see my screen again, but I must repair what is broken first. Should I take action to "S-OFF" again?

I am trying to think now and here is what I suppose I should/can do.

S-Off then somehow flash Clockwork Mod into Recovery and then from there, Flash back my Nanodroid through Recovery. Would that work? What do you all think?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
Why did you flash hboot only? Whole rom flashing via pb99img method not working?

For s-off you need system booted, you can't s-off from fastboot/hboot. Youre booting there because no boot and recovery been flashed. Try to flash it with goldcard via pb99img zip in root of your sdcard?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonicraw:
Aww man really? I totally forgot about that... I tried copying the pb99.img on my SD card and now that I can see, attempted waiting in hboot for the files to load but after they did, I't quickly should something like "SD Checking: PB99DIAG.zip"

But then it said

No image file.....

No image file.....

No image file.....

And it returned to hboot.

At this point, I started losing hope. I wanted to cry... What could I do?! No phone for 3 days.... I was a failure...

But then, only then, I took a break and powered off phone. Looked around my shallow apartment and thought, what now...

5 minutes I returned to the phone, took SD card out, blew on it, inserted it back in my Desire, and powered on into Hboot, waited again for the *Miracle* to happen, and WALA! It started loading the zip?!!! WHAT?! NO WAY! Heart pounding I eagerly stared at the phone. "Click Vol + Start Update" I clicked!

Then the 6 steps for updating appeared! 1 = OK 2 = OK

10 minutes later, I booted and back to normal :) From here, I can S-OFF, Get back Recovery ClockMod, and restore Nandroid. Thanks guys for assisting me well :D I have never been happier! I shall give you all Thumbs Up and close thread.

Out of curiosity, I should never bother to flash the Hboot EVER again correct? Only GSM phones can do this... So as a CDMA user, I should only flash roms under recovery and leave the hboot radio, recovery, and hboot alone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
Glad to hear that... Take this as warning :D you can flash anything what you want but only one condition: all stuff MUST be designed for Desire CDMA
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonicraw:
Alright. I will just stay away from flashing Radio, Hboot. No reason to do so anyways :7 Thanks again!

[TouchPad Accessories] lok214:
I am currently using a Griffin Ipad1 folio case, paid $5 from the verizon sale, classy high quality leather look, well built, great protection and most importantly it doesn't block anything. I mean ANYTHING including the most important speakers which is also where the heat coming outs also. It is almost a perfect case to use it at work and school but I am trying to find something little bit different when I am using it at home.

Most of the Ipad1 folio cases will work but just depends on the style and the quality you want. I am thinking something close to the otterbox style, I tried a few cases and been reading alot online.

Otterbox, as everyone know it does not fit unless someone smart comes out with a easy way to modify it to fit then it will be the most ideal case.

Speck Candyshell hard case, some said it will fit so I ordered one from ATT (Since you don't like it you can return it back to retail store). It does but it's little bit loose so it's not secured enough and the volume down is stuck. No go.

Hp OEM case, best fit and best looking case for the touchpad but not enough protections compares to the Griffin case. If you have an OEM case, you should try out the griffin case.

After countless hours of researching... saw this little Speck IPAD1 rubber case that might work for the touchpad. It's called Speck Pixelskin Silicone Soft Grip Case for IPAD1.

Someone is selling on Ebay for $10 now, does anyone have this to confirm the fitment? Thanks,

[TouchPad Accessories] bennettg:
Did the case fit your touchpad? i just picked up 2 on ebay for nephews and want to protect the tablet. thanks.

sometimes when you use a theme kitchen it wont change what you wanted, some will change and some wont, you would have to go into the phones files and edit what you want

[T-Mobile LG G2x] zeth006:
Just a question out of curiosity. How long does does it take for the G2x or most phones for that matter to finish syncing up info from the Gmail and Facebook accounts? Is it mostly a matter of the internet connection speed? I'm on a 4mbps wifi connection at the moment and it's been in sync mode for at least the past four hours judging from the sync symbol shown in the Tsugi pulldown menu.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
It would be a combination of amount of data, connection speed, connection reliability, media read/write speed, and since these are little computers, bus I/O speed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
Restart your phone bro cuz it shouldnt take that long to sync, the phone is just stuck in a phase where it thinks it still syncing. Shouldnt happen again thou
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zeth006:
Restarted a few times to adjust SetCPU volts, still showing that sign several hours later.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] orbidyorb:
Are you on a custom ROM? If so try reflashing it. what about your theme custom? if so maybe try reflashing aswell? let me know how it goes
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zeth006:
Tsugi w/ Oyasumi kernel. Don't have time to reflash things. May have to do it tomorrow during break, but resyncing all my contacts is going to eat into my battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Export it from your gmail to a .vcf and import it from your SD card to your phone. I had to re-do all my phone contacts since gmail used to sve each and every person I e-mailed a a contact so when the rep at tmo imported the contacts to my gmail account I was ready to kill him since I then had to spend about an hour deleting e-mails for things such as craigslist.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zeth006:
How do I export Google contacts to a .vcf in the first place? I can understand contacts when i press phone-->contacts. But I've tried importing that vcf file, doesn't do sh--. Phone just "reads" the vcf file, ignores it, and synchronizes using my Facebook contacts. Pretty worthless if you ask me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
sounds like something is screwed with your ROM or the install. Reflash or try a different ROM, I've gone the vcf route before and it worked for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zeth006:
I'm going to first see whether it's worth staying with the Tsugi rom.

ETA: Would you be able to recommend me a rom/kernel combo that's known for having good performance and battery life? Ideal setcpu settings under that combo would be nice.

:)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
Check my Sig. Stock based roms don't have the performance power of a CM based Rom but make up for in stability and battery life. It's all about testing the roms to find the one you like.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zeth006:
Cool. I was using that for a while. Tsugi is one of my favorites so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidhshon:
Is it okay to restore system data when using a new ROM?

I usually only restore the apps, but I have never restored the system data.

Also, I know that it isn't possible to receive OTA's after root and unlocking the bootloader. If I re-lock the bootloader and go back to the factory version, the way the Galaxy Nexus came in the box, is it possible to receive OTA's?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
You should NEVER restore system data and yes you will receive OTAs if you go back to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hydera5:
You can flash version updates through CWM if you please, but reverting back to stock will enable them to be taken from the air.

So today while shopping i stopped at my local sony store and asked about the xperia s just to know if they could know anything important the rep told me that its 100% making his way into canada and that rogers will have it first but he didn't tell me any specific date he said its in about a month or two! Really happy because im due to an upgrade.

Don't want to get the galaxy nexus i played whit one wasnt impressed at all and the touch keys are horrible to press!

Though I'd let people in Canada to know it ^_^

I rang Rogers customer service yesterday asking when they were getting it in stock but they have no information yet.

Atleast good news is we are going to get it and I won't have to import the phone although it we have to wait too long I still might.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] parth750:
Hey All,

I'm new here so sorry if this has already been asked. I was poking around the init.d scripts Calkulin has put up and I noticed that it doesn't seem to work. Here's the "4undervolt" script which you can find in /system/etc/init.d.

#!/system/bin/sh
#
# Created by Calkulin
# Epic 4G Touch -50mV v1.1

if [ -e /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table ]; then
UV_TABLE=`cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table | wc -l`
CPU_MAX_FREQ=`cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq`
STEPS_1600_200="1450 1350 1225 1125 1025 925 875"
STEPS_1704_200="1500 1450 1400 1350 1225 1125 1025 925 875"
if [ $UV_TABLE = "7" ] && [ $CPU_MAX_FREQ = "1600000" ]; then
echo $STEPS_1600_200 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table
echo "-50mV Undervolt Levels SET"
elif [ $UV_TABLE = "9" ] && [ $CPU_MAX_FREQ = "1704000" ]; then
echo $STEPS_1704_200 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table
echo "-50mV Undervolt Levels SET"
fi
fi

Well I just flashed 2.8.1 (I used to be on 2.5.1 with the same issue), and it seems like the UV_TABLE, which is supposed to be in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/, isn't there. This means that neither the if nor the elif is being taken, which basically means the script is having no effect.

Am I reasoning correctly? If so, it seems like it would affect a lot of people who think they're undervolting but really aren't. Could someone with more familiarity Android possibly take a look?

Also, is there a way for me to check the current voltage at the CPU?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] parth750:
If no one can help me, could anyone point me to somewhere I can get my question answered?

It seems like a lot of people could be having this problem if they're expecting the init.d scripts to work when they're really doing nothing.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Check the permissions of the scripts. Make sure they are executable
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] parth750:
The permissions are rwxr-xr-x, so they do indeed seem executable. In fact I can run them from a terminal emulator and they don't print anything out. This also leads me to believe that while they're running, they have no effect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Interesting. I'm running those scripts in Blazer ROM, and they work really well. Hopefully someone on Calk's can square you away
