Standalone basically means the physical gps. The physical gps is dodgy on this phone.

Often times I use GPS Essentials and use the tracking feature. This way you don't lose lock each time you exit Maps.

If you on EP4D, you shouldn't have too much trouble with GPS
[General Topics] Tiffany84:
I just wanted to take a minute to say thanks to all of you and to my Team(Team ACS). The thoughts, prayers, donations, etc.... have meant so much to me. I've been really down lately. I'm depressed, scared about having the surgery and about how to pay my bills and not being able to develop for you guys has been especially tough to deal with. That was always my way of escaping and now it's gone. I was going to use the donations I received to try and buy another but I had to use it to pay some bills. So it looks like the phone will have to wait. I am trying to sell a Kindle Fire to use the money to put towards another device. I was going to trade it for a TouchPad because my daughter wanted one but for one it would consist of adding in money which I really don't have and two I really want another phone. But enough about my problems and more about all of you. What you guys have done for me will never be forgotten. Not to sound like a baby but I often cry thinking about it. I never knew I had so many people that cared about me. So thank you SO MUCH!!!! I hope to back with all of you soon:)

This tool is unlike any other recovery based tool you have ever seen. I have seen alot of people struggling to reinstall gingerbread roms or even install other ICS roms due to their MainVer changing. Well I introduce Awesome Recovery Tool v2!

This is a touchscreen based tool (tested with AmonRa recovery). You answer two prompts in the tool from your phone and it will create a PH98IMG.zip based on what you need. This tool is based on the aroma (yes, like the smell, not amonra) recovery scripting. This allows you to use your touchscreen to select things during a flashable zip installation.

I have repurposed it as an easy recovery tool that will help get you booting again no matter what rom you are currently on. This will create a PH98IMG.zip personalized to the MainVer you have and the OS you want to flash to.

I don't see how this can get much more noob proof.

The main point of this tool is to create a PH98IMG.zip specific to your needs that has the right mainver attached to it and the right boot.img of the rom you want to get to.

Version 2 already out! You can flash custom boot images with this tool now! Put any boot image you want on your sd card named customboot.img and select the appropriate option in the tool.

How to use:

0) To flash a boot image specific to a rom, pull the boot.img out of the PH98IMG.zip included with the rom. Rename it to customboot.img and put it on the root of the sd card. (not in any folders). The PH98IMG.zip might be inside the roms zip file if it set to autoinstall.

1) Flash the attached zip file in recovery.

2) When the window pops up, tap your MainVer. If you are unsure, tap the OTA (middle button) first.

3) Tap the OS you want to flash to. (Select custom boot here if you are using that feature)

4) A PH98IMG.zip of the files you need has been created.

5) Amonra will say an error occured, but ignore it.

6) Reboot to hboot and install the PH98IMG.zip.

7) If you get main version older error, rerun the tool and select a higher main version.

8) Then flash a rom of the same version (ics/gb) that you chose in the tool. (Scott's cleanroms for each OS are a good base choice to atleast get your phone back on it's feet)

Other note: if the rom you want doesn't automatically reboot into hboot to flash a PH98IMG.zip (you have to put it there yourself) you should install the rom first then use this, but in all honesty it doesn't really matter.

Current Limitations

1) You will need a way delete the PH98IMG.zip off your SD card before you can reboot into recovery again. If you can't boot up because you haven't flashed the new rom yet, use an external card reader to remove the PH98IMG.zip from the card so you can boot into recovery. If you don't have one, the procedure in this post (also by me) will work aswell

2) Depending on the kernel that a specific rom uses, wifi might not work after using this tool. I will update this tool soon to take that into account and fix that problem.

[HTC Rezound] con247:
It won't work with joel's roms since he has bravia engine. I will be adding an option for a custom boot image on the sd card

[HTC Rezound] Demiurge7:
Yes, I used it to go from a kernel that worked well with every ICS rom I tried (scroslers), to go to Joelz 1.7 with redefined. Wanted to try the oc, so decided to give this a try. Only took one take to get the mainver right (pulled sd to retry), but really simplified and sped up the process -- mostly I am stoked that there is a good method to switch this, given this definitely isnt the last time :) Thanks again!

So i edited the android info.txt file in PH198. Now when I try to boot my phone into bootloader, it comes up with a screen saying volume up for update, volume down for no update, and then I just have to power off. Any suggestions?

Edit: Sorry if I was unclear, but when I update, my phone gets stuck on the white HTC screen.

Edit: I got it working thanks for the advice guys
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Umm it's supposed to do that to load the kernel. Then you boot up to your rom and first thing delete that file off the SD card :)

Just boot up Rom like normal then delete using a file explorer like es file or root explorer. If it won't reboot to your rom, then pull battery remove sd card and boot . Once your booted up then reinstall SD card and delete the ph file.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
What are you flashing? There's a lot of renaming things to the PHzip file name.

Actually, in any case, if you are being asked for update you should press volume up to select update, then if it says to press the power button that should be your "yes" answer to allow it to proceed. I think it says that.

Then once it is done reboot the phone if it didn't do it already and, as mjh68 mentioned above, use a file explorer like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer to delete that PHzip file. Then you should be good to go. Or you can then connect to your pc and delete the file that way, or power down and take the card out and put it in the pc and delete the file. If you don't delete that file then every time you boot up your phone it will go to flash it again.
[HTC Rezound] nkd94:
I am flashing CleanRom 2.3 except with the nonstandard kernel. I will try removing the microsd and putting back the standard kernel then updating again. Thanks

EDIT: When I boot my phone it goes straight to the update screen not to the bootloader. Is there any way to boot the phone into recovery with my computer?
[HTC Rezound] aostl:
If you have a backup, and have adb just type adb reboot recovery to restore or wipe and flash a new Rom. Make sure the Rom matches the kernel
[Kindle Fire General] P90:
Which do you think?

Should I buy the kindle fire now?

Or should I wait for the amazing Asus memo 370t?

Is the kindle fire that customizable an fun/easy to hack?
[Kindle Fire General] CodenameDeadpool:
The kindle fire is all of the above. Though, I am excited for the memo 307t and do plan on buying it too, when it comes out.
[Kindle Fire General] P90:
Ok thank you. I think I'm planning on selling my book color and buying a kf. Can't wait!
[Kindle Fire General] Kapurnicus:
Is there a release estimate on the memo? I'm very excited for it. I love the fire, but would kill for bluetooth. If I only had a front facing camera I would never need another device lol.
[Kindle Fire General] P90:
Haha no official release date but rumored around q3
[Kindle Fire General] ExploreMN:
I think I'm going to stick with the Fire. The Memo would be perfect if it had a digitizer w/stylus and a front facing camera, but honestly, without that it's "just another tablet" to me...and as you can see, I've gone through a lot of them. So basically, until they make a tablet that fits all my needs, I'm settled on this one.
[Kindle Fire General] P90:
What's a digitizer?
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
Atmel is working on an active stylus product which would work with a chip that is already in the Transformer, just needs to be activated. I think the Transformer Prime has the same chip, both are a much larger form factor than the FF or the MeMo. Not sure if the MeMo has that chip though.

I can't speak of other 'budget' e-reader/tablets, but I absolutely love my Kindle Fire. I finally took the plunge and rooted it and flashed CM7; it's amazing. Awesome device before, GREAT device now, IMO.

With that said, I would vote KF.
[Kindle Fire General] P90:
Sweet! Is it hard to root? I am not tech friendly with hardly anything android.
[Kindle Fire General] CodenameDeadpool:
Now? No. It should only take you a matter of minutes, IF you follow directions.
[Kindle Fire General] ExploreMN:
Everyone says you can find great deals on this one, but I missed the Best Buy closeout at $299 and I can't find the thing for less than $400 anywhere which, in my opinion, is way too much for the age of this tab. I'm thinking of the Memo 171 which is a dual core with stylus support and has a camera, but I'm not sure what the price will be or when it will be released. There is also rumor of a Galaxy Note 10" tablet too...which might be decent (thought I would prefer a 7" tablet).

LOL - I should have clicked your link first. $199 for a refurb...my finger is twitching over the "add to cart" button...
[Kindle Fire General] ChicagoGOBLUE:
I didn't think it was hard at all. I was pretty nervous at first but did enough reading on the subject that I was comfortable to give it a go. I have been jailbreaking iDevices for a few years now, but this is my first Android device, so I was afraid of the....unknown you could say.

But no, it's not hard to do and really only takes a few minutes once you have ADB up and running on your PC.

Before finding the latest and greatest Kindle Fire Utility, I was set to download BurritoRoot3 and go through the manual process. I downloaded/installed the Java Development Kit, downloaded/installed Android SDK Tools (I think this is for ADB), downloaded Superuser and BurritoRoot3, and ran through the driver installation so the Kindle could be recognized by the PC.

But then I found out about KFU .9.3 (I think that's the correct version), that installs just about everything for you (drivers, SU, BR3)!
[Kindle Fire General] skaroger867:
yea that utility is amazing. rooting the fire and installing twrp and a custom rom is very easy to do.

the asus memo looks pretty sweet and at a good price point for it. altho it looks like a giant phone, lol. if only it recieved calls...
[Kindle Fire General] ChicagoGOBLUE:
It definitely is!

I have a question that maybe you can help me with, figured instead of creating a new thread:

I currently have CM7 SoS on my KF. Lets say I wanted to flash another custom ROM, do I have to do all the 'wipe' steps like I did from coming from stock?

I can't seem to find a definitive answer.
[Kindle Fire General] scyy:
I would absolutely wait, The extra 512MB of ram, micro sd slot, better camera and cpu that's leagues better will make you kick yourself once it's out. I was thinking about the fire but as soon as I saw the memo 370t at CES for the price and specs I was sold, even if it was sold at $300 I think it would be a better investment.
[Kindle Fire General] abarax:
I'm definitely getting the Asus Memo 370T when it's available for pre-order. Here are the known specs:

Operating System: Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich

Processor: nVidia Tegra 3 Quad Core processor

Memory: 1 GB

Storage: 16 or 32 GB

Display: 7" 1,280 x 800 LCD IPS screen

Camera: 8MP rear facing (sadly, no front facing, though)

Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, microUSB, microHDMI, GPS

Price: Base model (16 GB) rumored to be $250.00. 32 GB model unknown as of this time.

Even though it's a bit on the smallish side for a tablet per se, it's still quite a device on the relatively cheap.

[Verizon Droid Charge] cnoevl21:
I have the betterbatterystats apps installed on my phone and I understand what wakelocks are, but what I am wondering is if there is any thread that goes over details of this app, as in what is a high percentage of wakelocks and what would be considered abnormal or problematic. I see the readings, but I dont really know what is good and what is bad. For example is "Screen On" time is 49 min. and "Awake" time is 1hr 45min, is this acceptable or is this bad? If PowerManagerService shows its Kernel Wakelocks at 8min, bad or ok? I have no idea. so just wondering if there is anyway for me to learn all this stuff so I can better understand and control my wakelocks.

Don't ever expect to get better than 1%/ hour loss on standby though. For some reason some people's phones have excellent battery life, while others' phones with the exact same applications downloaded don't. My guess is it's because components are sourced from different manufacturers, and firmware is customized using same-source reference hardware.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunnsguy:
Power everything was working this morning

Noticed that my power button wasn't working...the screen stayed on. Pulled battery, put it back in and the phone booted without pressing power.

Was like "wtf?"

When it booted, I couldn't turn off the screen.

So I just left the battery out and took it home.

Put a new rom on phone, thought "This will fix it."

Wrong.

Had to flash using Rom Manager because in recovery the power button doesn't respond.

When it began to boot "AT&T Screen" wouldn't disappear and show me some Doc's v4.

I can manipulate it to boot into recovery but the power button doesn't work still.

I can NOT get it to go into recovery. :(

Can someone helps me?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtoZ0to9:
have ODIN open, and battery removed from phone... hook up usb, hold both vol keys, while inserting battery... you should get download mode fine even with a busted power button... what you do next is up to u....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunnsguy:
Once more, I can NOT get it to boot into recovery in that fashion.

I cannot place batter in the phone without it attempting to boot

(doesn't not get past the AT&T boot screen)

I cannot plug it up, hold volume buttons and then put in battery because it will just charge. If I unplug the phone, the phone still thinks it's charging actually.

My question really is Can I 'fix' the power button, or can I reboot it into download mode through command propt? I've never used ADB to access my phone, so that'll be new.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtoZ0to9:
Dude... recovery is useless right now, you have a busted power button... and because of 'said busted power button', none of what you're trying to do is going to work... like youve said...

You are down to trying to force download mode with USB cord, holding the vol keys, and inserting the battery... ADB cannot run commands to a phone stuck at the boot screen... Thread title says, how to reboot to download, and with the button like it is, all you can do is what i've posted...

As to fixing the power button, i don't see why that's not possible... do u feel it press at all?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunnsguy:
Yeah, it 'presses' and 'clicks'. I mean it worked most of the day, it got low on power and it just quit working.
