I used AlphaRev 1.8 to get S-OFF how do i flash HBOOT CM7 r2 ? is there a up datable .zip or is it best to use fastboot option ?

I've only ever used Android flasher and must have changed hboot about 20 times. Works well for me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascot17:
Whichever method you use, wipe all partitions (except FAT32 on SD) after changing.

(If you use 4ext recovery this will be done for you),
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassand:
I have only used fastboot and never had any problems with it. at start it might seem the harder way but when you do it a couple of times it probably is the fastest and easiest way to do it.

also just a reminder, if you wanna change back from cm7r2, flash the downgrader first, then flash the other hboot you wanna go for. (i have learned this a lot later than i should have therefore i feel the need to share it:))
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Plus you're not adding an additional layer of software like these gui apps are.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malso:
Do you mean, everytime one is changing to any different hboot?

I thought this is only needed if one is changing back to stock hboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesavagedonkey:
Personnally I'm a fan of Fastboot Commander. It can be found at the bottom of the Desire Index in the development thread.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
You got a few hboots for alpharev then you can make your own layout as you need, so rom will fit perfectly. As I'm trying different Rom flashing hboot as it is required for that specific Rom.

Now I find fastboot much quicker way as fastboot commander with mouse
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassand:
if i remember correctly, you need to use the downgrader first to switch from 387mb system hboot to cm7r2 for example
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
You are remember not correctly. One only needs to use downgrader when one wants to flash RUU or OTA, because the new hboot versions have only overwrite protection against RUU or OTA (Source: http://alpharev.nl).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
I've changed from CM7r2 to stock and back again a few times now (when trying out the ICS ROMs that are floating around on here), and have never flashed the downgrader. As MatDrOiD points out, that's only needed if you're going back onto a RUU.

Cheers.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toominds:
Hello everyone, long time reader, first time poster (with a real query).

Actually last Friday my cappy started to show 100% of the battery after being for some time in use, so I reboot it trying to solve the issue.

After the boot, the cell shows the Initially Battery screen for 2 seconds with the battery without charge then turns off. Tried several times and also using a second battery with full charge and same problem persisted.

10 minutes later without having a battery inside the phone, it boots but when I rebooted the problem arises again.

This weekend I installed Illuminance 3.01, after that I have installed CM9 (very nice ROM) and the battery problem still is happening. I am able to use the phone but I don´t know for how much more.

Any suggestion?

Thanks,

Martin
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felixcm88:
have you tried to wipe battery stats in recovery ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toominds:
Yesterday night I did a wipe battery stats and the problem still is there.

It starts with the loop and the only way I can start the phone is plugging it then it shows the actual charge of the battery and after that I can boot.

It must be something "deeper" than the rom...

Anybody?

Thanks

I am having the exact same issue, stock froyo 2.2 rooted 5 months ago. I'm trying everything before updating to 2.3, I'll let you know if I find a fix, please do the same.

Searching google is not working this time, it's been 3 days...

Things I've tried:

1- From recovery, boot phone. Problem persists after phone is turned off.

2- Boot from revovery, then reset to factory settings, after rese, same issue.

3- Wipe cache from recovery. Problem still there.

4- Wipe cache+user data from recovery. Same thing.

5- repeating 1-4 without SD card or SIM card.

- Wipe battery data... nothing...

- Unrooting, same issue, rooted again.

- Run root fixes with Titanium backup. Same...

- Removing battery for hours, while charging it externally, replace battery, same issue.

All to no success. Things yet to try:

- Update to 2.3 using kies

- Update to beta 2.3.5 using odin

- Update to custom rom, maybe try 3 or 4 different...

- Cry, then save and buy a new phone, use cappy as shiny paperweight...

Please let me know if you could fix it...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaNaRkI:
I'm not sure what you mean when you say "initial battery screen."

But if I am to understand the rest, your problem is:

initial boot - runs fine, but battery stays at 100% no matter how long it runs.

reboot - phone now says the battery is suddenly dead, and shuts-off.

further reboots - same

You can't get the phone to fully boot till the battery is left out for a while and the phone is fully de-energized.

You have tried a different battery and it behaves the same.

- - - - - -

Have you tried using a known "good" battery? (a new one or one from someone who's phone works fine)

Also, what happens if you plug in the USB while the phone is off? (after the inital boot, when it is stuck in the "dead battery loop.")
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyokahn:
Still dead after installing update and 2 custom roms...

Yes I tried a good battery from another cappy, if I plug in the cable it does the same, instead of normally booting, it displays an empty battery and goes off.

I am able to make it work but only entering the restore mode, so I cannot for example be on a trip and reset the phone for whatever reason...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prettycity:
have you tried using a different kernel?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyokahn:
sorry, but how can I try a different kernel? do i need to change the rom?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaNaRkI:
Nah, kernels can be flashed independent of ROMs just look through development for topics that have "[Kernel]" as the fist word in their title.

If you have gone and loaded two custom ROMs and it still persist then it's not a kernel issue. As the kernel is always changed along with the ROM.

That said, I can only think of two other possibilities: one being dirt or such making a short in the contacts of the usb (does it sometimes think it is plugged in when it's not), two something in the circuitry for the battery randomly went bad.

Try cleaning the socket for the usb. If that does not fix then assume the worst :(

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyokahn:
Ok, here's the thing, I left it without the battery for 24 hrs, then it was worst. The phone would not turn on at all. However, after that I tried putting the battery in while holding the power button, it worked!!! it's better than having to connect to the computer, but still, I don't want to have to do this every time... flashing roms now to try again.

We're getting somewhere now...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prettycity:
DaNaRkI could be right about it being a circuitry problem (which would suck). With that in mind, have you checked to make sure the prongs which connect the battery to the phone are still in good shape?

When you flashed the roms, are you doing complete wipes? (wiping the cache/dalvik/data)? It might be worth it to go one step beyond that and format all the partitions and then reflash. I think if you do that, you could basically rule out any software problems.

Be sure to back up your data!

P.S. When you do all this wiping and formating and reflashing, boot up and check to see if the problem is still there before you put your data back on jic there is some weird corruption in your data which is causing this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyokahn:
ok.

have you checked to make sure the prongs which connect the battery to the phone are still in good shape?

yes I have, they're perfect :)

When you flashed the roms, are you doing complete wipes?

many times, actually

I have yet to format all partitions, how can I do that?

Thanks!!

and yes, all my data is well backed up in my PC and cloud...

---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

this is rather odd, just tried to factory reset again, then restarted using the battery method, then... turned it off, and now it boots normally!!!

Thanks for your help !!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultrachilled:
I have the same problem. What exactly did you do? I use a custom rom, and I flashed stock gingerbread 2.3.4.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Formatting the partitions won't do anything, since the phone won't even turn on sometimes. So when exactly did this problem start happening? Was it after a particular flash or other incident?

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] stickydoorknob:
I love everything about the SK4G but the constant reboots is it's only Achilles Heel. I've tried installing the Glorious Overdose V2 ROM on it, and the phone has seen overall improvement but the reboot problem has not been fixed and everytime I open an application or playing games it will freeze and then reboot. Can anyone suggest a ROM they're using that has helped with the reboots occurring all the time?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] papped:
Try GingerClone, it's one of the lighter roms.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
trying a different rom might help, but chances are if you flashed a rom and the problem persists, then flashing another rom may not help. I had the same problem with the stock rom. my phone rebooted every 15 minutes to a half hour for almost a whole working day. finally I shut the phone off, booted into CWM recovery, clicked on advanced, and ran fix permissions. I suggest that you not use a program or script to boot into CWM, because I have tried that and it doesnt work. after I ran fix permissions, the endless rebooting stopped. if you like the rom you're on, try fix permissions and see if it works. you really dont have anything to lose. if it doesnt work, just flash another rom. I recommend fix permissions a lot, because it has worked for me many times.

3. It would preferable to have physical buttons, however, this is not a mandatory requirement.

What would it be?

Maybe Sony Ericsson X10 mini. It has smallest front surface but its quite thick. It depends what you need. If you need small physical volume of phone look for very thin phones. Also have you heard of those little Android watches? You can pair them over bluetooth with nearby Android phone. It really depends what you need.

So here are the specs that I think you'd want. Any chance something like this exists for Verizon?

- slide-out 4-row qwerty keyboard (important that it's a good keyboard - this is VERY important to her)

- 800MHz or faster cpu

- 256-512MB RAM (I'd LIKE 512 but 256 would probably be sufficient)

- 3G/GPS/Bluetooth/non-super-crappy rear-facing camera

- I would like for it to be hackable so I can make it run faster than stock

- Cute cases available for it

- Good battery life

Hi jasecloud4

If you are looking for the smallest volume-wise, it would be Sony Xperia Ray. 3.3 inch screen (smaller screen than the iPhone 4), but as thin as the iPhone 4. Xperia mini's screen is smaller, but it is way thicker.

Yep, I wouldn't look any further than Xperia Ray. Small and very thin.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] pakpaker:
Good day!

I am pakpaker, and I hav been browsing xda-developers for about a month now for developments for my beloved xt800w, thanks to J.Y.Daddy for his awesome work of porting ROMs to this Korean-specific unit.

Now for the question: how can I port a ROM made for the Motorola Milestone to the XT800w? There was one post that said that it was a matter of symlinking, because they almost have the same hardware.

I have experience in Linux, but I have only tried tinkering with ROMs, and maybe it is time for me to learn how to port than to impatiently wait.

Thank you very much!

Update: Will repost to the appropriate handset, Milestone XT720. OPs can close/remove this thread. Thank you very much!

Perfect Keyboard - in compact mode, the 123 button will switch to a large numpad layout, or choose split layout, which always displays (small) numpad in the center area. Available in Lite mode, which is pretty good already.

Those who like the stock Android keyboard should give Perfect Keyboard a try for more customization.
[Epic 4G Apps] deligator:
I have been trying most of these ... but my issue is that each work on the assumption that you "normally" want to enter text with letters and so therefor start with that as the keys. My hope is to get it to always default to a Calculator view (optimally in one application and in a layout just like the "123" in swype)

I appreciate the suggestions I have started down the rabbit hole of writing my own keyboard setups... or maybe I can change a setting that allows the default to change with some sort of terminal cmd.

I'm under the impression that GoKeyboard can be set to default either screen. T9, # pad, or letters. If not its just a swipe to the left. ??

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Achilles3:
Hi.

My company is considering the purchase of an Android app (minimum Andriod 2.1) for our salesforce and wants to buy some Android tablets to run it. Regarding its functionalities, we're talking about an app that collects barcodes through the tablet camera and sends them to our network using our VPN over 3G network.

Mi idea was to wait a few months more and instead of buying the tablets, renew the laptops and buy some W8 tablets and run the application over them and that's where I have a couple of doubts:

1) How can I emulate Android in Windows 7/8?

2) Is there any possibility for the emulator to recognize both the tablet camera and the 3G SIM for communications?

First off, thanks for all the great work you guys are doing. Without further ado, I'm having a issue with APN settings that I can't seem to find a solution to. I'm currently running Valhalla Black Edition on my SGS 4G but I have tried multiple roms without success.

I'm having an issue setting up APN type to MMS. I currently don't have a data plan, but I do have Unlimited messaging with T-Mobile. Since T-Mobile has now enabled data for all there customers, I don't want to incur data charges with the default setting of Internet + MMS. Since I'm unable to modify the default APN, I've tried many suggestions on this forum and others to create a second APN with the type set to MMS, however, I'm unable to select the newly created APN. Every time I set it to type MMS, there is no circle next to the APN to enable it.

My brother who has a galaxy s vibrant is able to make change without any issue so I'm wondering if there were anyone who have come across this and found away to get it to work.

I would appreciated an help you guys can provide. Thanks
