[HTC EVO 3D] przfghtr:
i have recently unlocked my 3d via the htc method. I had viper rom and the stock kernel on the phone. I tried to install a new kernel(anthrax infected v9). I wiped the cache and the dalvik prior to installing the kernel, post install.zip the phone is in a continuous loop. Performed wipe of all data. Tried flashing rom and kernel again, it failed again. Asked a couple of friends what might be causing this. Found out my phone has hboot 1.5 that requires flash through fastboot. How do i fix this, please help.
[HTC EVO 3D] Efrencalvario:
Need to boot in recovery with ADB or GUI app
[HTC EVO 3D] Android Cowboy:
Get into fastboot by taking out battery then [power+volume down] till it loads. Once there connect to computer and use adb and type "fastboot boot recovery.img" where recovery is the name of your chosen recovery. The recovery file must be in the same folder as the adb.

Once in recovery you can flash anything. Once you have booted a ROM I would recommend downloading flash image gui from the Market and use it to flash kernels or ROM with custom kernel. Good luck. hboot 1.50 makes things just a bit more trickier.
[HTC EVO 3D] Efrencalvario:
Recovery file could be any where you want "!
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
NOTE: If you took the latest 651.5 update, you have to stick with kernels that have that as a base (for now).

You are likely not flashing the kernel/rom correctly. See the Guide/flashing notes in my signature for a walkthru that will likely help.
[HTC EVO 3D] laziod:
I have a similar situation. Had viper rom up and running and then it just up and quit and now it's in a continual boot loop. I'm no where near a windows CPU that I can use fastboot for the next 40 days. How can i fix with my tablet?
[HTC EVO 3D] Efrencalvario:
Go to the library ? Rent a pc ?
[HTC EVO 3D] laziod:
So in other words I'm screwed? Isn't there a way to use my tablet running android to push the boot image to the phone?

So couple of customers asked to add arabic support to their galaxy s2

I used odin and flashed this "GT-I9100_XSG_I9100JPKF3_I9100XXKF1_I9100OJPKF2" on 2 devices successfully

today i was doing the same thing, only difference is i used odin3 v1.85 (usually I use odin3 v1.3)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
Is the problem phone the same model as the one in the picture or the same as the ones you previously had success with??

This is the I9100 forum so is the device an I9100?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabilbek:
What does this picture usually mean?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabilbek:
Yeah bro nvm the photo (googled) ... its just the same error am having on my i9100(that i had success with as u said)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
The pic indicates the phone is in 'forced' download mode if I'm not mistaken, and means you must flash something in Odin to get it working again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabilbek:
Oh thanks MistahBungle :)

no friendly suggestions to solve this ????? :o
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
You mean like the actual, correct answer given above by MistahBungle? (nice edit)

Also, are you sure your customer had an I9100? and not some variant, like the one in your signature or some other variant http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1329

[Motorola Atrix 2] demencia89:
Hi, I'm new here, I hope I'm not doing anything wrong already :P

Here's my question. I've just installed the webtop mod for atrix2, and I've succesfuly got the webtop screen on my tv, but I don't have any way to

control it as I dont have bt keyboard/mouse.

I've seen a video of the Atrix4g running the webtop mod and controling

it with a trackpad on the phone. Have I done anything wrong, or does the

atrix2 webtop mod doesn't have that feauture?

Thank you!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] MrLLama209:
Hello, demencia89 Is it the Nebtop .apk Or the actual mod

[Motorola Atrix 2] Deliberate:
If you updated to 2.3.6 then the webtop mod doesn't work. If u want try nebtop. Or get v5 of the supercharged rom. It has a webtop mod built in and its on 2.3.6
[Motorola Atrix 2] demencia89:
hmmm, im ont 2.3.6 and webtop mod is working :/ or is it the trackpad and mouse that doesnt work on 2.3.6?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Deliberate:
Ya that's what I mean. You'll see webtop on your TV. But the track pad and stuff on your phone won't work on 2.3.6
[Motorola Atrix 2] dudemaaan:
Same issue here. Anyone know what exactly breaks when doing the mod on 2.3.6?

My "guess" is the files from 2.3.6 need to be manually modified in the same way that 2.3.5 was. Those files must contain a couple other changes and essentially we are replacing them with the 2.3.5 files which are missing something that's in 2.3.6.

Again that's only speculation on my part. Has the originator of the mod tried changing the files in 2.3.6? or maybe someone could compare the modified 2.3.5 files to the stock 2.3.6 files?
[Motorola Atrix 2] dudemaaan:
I tried the supercharged rom but webtop still has no control via phone
[Motorola Atrix 2] demencia89:
?

is there any fix for this already?
[Motorola Atrix 2] dudemaaan:
I installed nebtop and it gave me mouse and keyboard controls.
[Motorola Atrix 2] syfxever:
I made the update to 2.3.6 and the webtop mod didn´t work. I had to redo the steps for the webtop mod but my phone there was no trackpad and keyboard so I had to use a keyboard+trackpad bluetooth. The nebtop did work like a charm!

Fernando
[Motorola Atrix 2] demencia89:
thank you!

Perfect, that worked.
[Motorola Atrix 2] khavalier:
which trackpad/mouse did you use?

I've tried a couple of BT mice with webtop and they work for crap (jump around the screen, etc.) They work fine on the device and in mirror mode.

The touchpad on my webtop suddenly stopped working on my Droid 4 so I'm hoping to use this as a workaround.
[Motorola Atrix 2] fateh44:
Webtop mod

I am very new to this forum.

I just got a new atrix 2 at 2.3.6 with factory rom. i performed the root and webtop mod (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410509). I am getting webtop option with hdmi cable but can't control mouse with phone.

Based on this thread looks like nebtop might work. How do I perform the nebtop mod on top of the webtop mod I already have?

i try to unlock bootloader(11W46) followed instructions and HARD BRICK!!

i dont recommend anyone to try to do this (11W33+)

i am going to send it to SE for repair but i dont know are they going to fix it(cuz i try to unlock BL)

so when i take it to SE what should i tell them?

1.i try to unloc BL?

2.my friend try to unlock BL(and i know it)?

3.my friend take mobile phone for playing and then try to unlock BL?

4......

Help pls(B.Jay don't be mad)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbso:
Ok

1st: b.jay isnt mad or angry or anything, he is simply helping people who fail to read the most important words and just look at the thanks they get, 11w42 are you f%&@ing crazy!?!?! Lol ;)

You do realise that there are about 6 threads about exactly NOT doing this!

Anyway , tell em that you were playing a game when it suddenly crashed your phone and it dont respond or turn on at all, even.after charging

-wilbso
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] - Swift -:
Not being a douche or anything but it does clearly say everywhere that you WILL get a HARD BRICK if you try to unlock your bootloader if your manufacturing date is 11w30 or over.

Sorry about your phone btw. ;)

Good luck,

- Shane
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Why would I be mad at you?

I CLEARLY told you by PM: "DO NOT TRY"

Additionally there's also the hard brick warning sticky over in the X8 General section.

If you decide to disregard each and every warning that has been given to you - your dismay, not mine.

As posted for quite some times now: There's no way by which ANYONE of us can help you now. The phone is dead and beyond any repair possibilities you can try at home. It seems you already found out that the last option is to send the phone off to SE for repair.

I just wouldn't recommend telling them outright what you did - otherwise the response could turn out to be: "Oh, so you tried to unlock the boot loader? Why thank you for telling us, because hacking your phone voids your warranty. Thank you very much for choosing Sony Ericsson and we hope you continue to enjoy our products."

Best shot would be to tell them it suddenly didn't work anymore.

Oh, and once you get the repaired phone back...

DO NOT TRY TO UNLOCK THAT DAMN BOOT LOADER AGAIN!

The warning clearly doesn't exists to run a prank on y'all ... the warning is clearly there to prevent such situations (and at least with the X8 the critical manufacturing date code IS 11W29 - no matter what other "OMFG mah unlocked mah 11W40 no probs kthxbye" post).

Holy sh! 7! Not again....
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stamatis:
Just put it in trash...i don't think they will replace it with a new one or repair moneyfree so you will need to pay. I think you should buy a new one from ebay or another site they have them in pretty low price...i hope your battery code this time will be under -29

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbso:
He's not angry, he is kind hearted but he isnt angry,

In fact b.jay and irushstuff09 are right, there are millions of threads saying not to unlock your bootloader.

SO WHY THE %!£$ HAVE NONE OF YOU LISTENED TO IT!!!

Try checking this

OR this

or might i just put some quote around this:

(Thanks b.jay for your thread)

I do have the answer to this:

The new (2011/2012) SE phones (or just new xperia x8's) have a security hole. They have a revamped chipset configuration. This basically means that attempting to unlock your bootloader will end up in a hard brick, and there is no way to revive the phone yourself

I was lucky cuz my date is 10w46

Hope this helped
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirmada:
11w46, and u still went for it despite the fact that there are lotta threads warning abt unlocking bootloader later then 11w29...... awesome.... :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
No, it's a fact that I AM preaching to deaf ears ...

Many people have done this, bricked their x8's and told SE that the phone suddenly went BOOM etc

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. I don't have a Sony Ericsson Repair Shop where I live so maybe you could ask others that have GT theirs fixed in one how much it did cost :-)

ok!

so i just go there and tell that my phone just trun off and won't trun back on?

(of course i played a game or similar ****)

if they fix it for free and i get it back can i unlock my bootloader when you think of something for 11W29+?

If so, are you rooted/unlocked flashed to 198_7 ever before?
[Motorola Photon 4G] KSmithInNY:
Yes, rooted, unlocked, right now I'm on a deodexed, zipaligned, optimized 198_7 build I made. I just updated profile and PRL no issue.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Plancy:
Thanks for the reply, if it's not trouble can you navigate to the /pds/ folder with a rooted file browser and see if any files are there?
[Motorola Photon 4G] KSmithInNY:
Root explorer and yes, it has contents.

Am able to update prl and profile, I'm on unlocked rooted 198_7 (shadowevolved) pds has files I'm able top update through Sprint zone and settings
[Motorola Photon 4G] Plancy:
Mine has no contents, and I believe that is why I can't update. I really don't know how it got erased, but it seems like I will never be able to fix it if no one else is having this issue it won't be a major concern for developers to work on a fix. I really don't want to take it too Sprint >< I'm not paying for insurance either.

thanks for replies. I know now that something is wrong with my phone :).
[Motorola Photon 4G] KSmithInNY:
Have you tried using RSD to apply the 198_7 SBF? Not flashing a 198 based rom, but applying the SBF
[Motorola Photon 4G] hoslayer13:
As far as erasing the PDS partition goes, formatting the internal sd through CWM caused it for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Plancy:
I've SBF'ed to 198_7 and 198_6, but I never checked with root browser to see if the pds partition is empty but I STILL could not update profile/prl, and it's 100% that it gets stuck on "Contacting Network" so i have to use the No BP-Airplane mode workaround. I have flashed ROM's right after the SBF's, for instance, ROCKO/Imperium show empty PDS partitions, after a SBF to 198_7
[Motorola Photon 4G] Plancy:
YES!! I've done that I'm sure, but by accident :(. That must be the problem. Are you too looking for a fix?
[Motorola Photon 4G] hoslayer13:
No :(. I had to replace my phone once because of that. The second time I had been fortunate enough to advance restore the PDS through CWM and fix it like that out of trial and error. I was looking into finding the file that affects the updates but havent found anything conclusive. Edit: (...Yet.)
[Motorola Photon 4G] KSmithInNY:
Well unfortunately PDS contains personal information otherwise I'd offer to zip and post ut for you.

Good luck!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Plancy:
Let me know if you find out, I would really like to get my pds fixed.

Hmm, would Sprint replace my phone for cheap, off insurance, and if so, how would I go about asking them to replace it? An erased PDS partition is kind of suspicious..

What other issues could an erased PDS partition cause, besides not being able to contact network for updates.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KSmithInNY:
You mean OTA updates?

/stems/etc/security/otacerts.zip

Rename to otacerts.zip.bak
[Motorola Photon 4G] Plancy:
What's this for? :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] hoslayer13:
I sbf'd back to 198_7 stock and locked. I told them that my phone didn't update. Charged me 35$ to replace it with a reconditioned phone
[Motorola Photon 4G] KSmithInNY:
For hos if he/she was looking for a way to stop OTA updates. I'm not sure if that's what they meant by their post but if so, that's how
[Motorola Photon 4G] Plancy:
Were you on insurances?

What other issues were you having with the phone, because of the pds?
[Motorola Photon 4G] KSmithInNY:
Stay online ... will have something for you to try in 1 minute.

EDIT - Try

1) Create a folder in PDS named "omadm"

2) Set permission of folder rwxrwx--

3) Download attached zip and place contents from zip into "omadm"

4) All files inside "omadm" should be set to rw-----

5) Reboot
[Motorola Photon 4G] hoslayer13:
None other than the the boot logo disappearing. No I didnt have insurance, how long did you have the phone for?

[Motorola Photon 4G] hoslayer13:
Right. Lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] KSmithInNY:
Wait ... your on CM9? Your on a sprint/blur rom while trying to update right?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Plancy:
Yes of course lol, I even tried on the SBF'd 198_7, I just switched to CM9 to check the progress of the beta.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KSmithInNY:
Ok cool. There is 1 CM device that supports sprint profile and PRL updates (NS4G) and that functionality was ported to at least 1 other device that I know of. Wasn't sure if if had been added to CM9 or not :p
[Motorola Photon 4G] Plancy:
That'd be sweet, I'm booting up right now after the extracting to pds/omadm/ and permissions set.

edit: tried the profile update, but it still stucks on Contacting Network :(

edit2: Uhh, it looks like the pds is just empty again, after the reboot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KSmithInNY:
Which file explorer are you using?
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
try changing to Sprint only and maybe in 4636 CDMA only And make sure you have Sprint proxies in build prop in ##data then try a reboot check make sure those changes stick then try to update through Sprint zone then through settings if zone doesn't work just an idea you can try also IM not trying to push my rom but curious if you flashed it and are still having this problem before posting thus did a fresh flash and pds still full of files not sure if any of this helps but is worth a try gl
[Motorola Photon 4G] Plancy:
Root Browser, from the ROM toolbox by JRummey.

I checked with another file manager(File Expert), and it looks like it was successfully extracted/permissioned in Root Browser.

I'm on ROCKO2.4 and it has no Sprint Zone lol, but I could never find an update option on Sprint Zone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KSmithInNY:
Alright I just installed rom toolbox pro and using the root browser I was able to see the contents of PDS so that rules that out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hoslayer13:
Root Browser always force closes on me when looking at those files. Try Root Explorer. On the SZ, its the "I need a help with my device" option
[Motorola Photon 4G] Plancy:
Ughhh, I don't have Sprint Zone on ROCKO2.4 ><
[Motorola Photon 4G] Plancy:
I used the one from ROM Toolbox Pro, which is built in, I was able to extract/change permissions and view the files. Then I checked in "File Expert" and it seems like it all stuck well.

EDIT1: rebooted againn, and AGAIN pds filder is completely empty.

EDIT2: I'll flash over to spleef's ROM to check it out and try Sprint Zone on there :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] hoslayer13:
Like I said a few days ago, I read in the Atrix sub-forum about their PDS fix via a PDS img file that can be flashed via fastboot or CWM. The image file itself seemed stock enough to fix errors without changing important info like the IMEI, etc.

last post wad the reply

I suppose flashing it couldn't hurt right? I can just erase it in fastboot if anything goes wrong, but it's supposed to have network info and personal phone info isn't it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] KSmithInNY:
Download their fix, edit the img with photon info, adb push or CWM flash.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hoslayer13:
Yeah. The idea is that maybe it will install a PDS partition and the files could be edited to change the info back. The only file that has something like that is the fti file in /factory/ that I saw. That info is on the back of the Photon withe the battery removed. Like what KSmith posted before me
[Motorola Photon 4G] Plancy:
How do I edit the IMG properly?

EDIT1: I just flashed the img without editting it and I was able to update Data Profile, supposedly, stated by the UI. But received an error when doing a PRL update, Now i extracted the omadm zip files you gaves to the omadm folder in /pds/ and now rebooting

EDIT2: after rebooting, it won't even get to the error anymore, it just stays on Contacting Network like it used to.

EDIT3: the fti looks hard to edit.

Well, its an old streak 5, but it is new to me.

Just got the streak from someone today. Going to use it as a tablet. Any rom recommendations (not going to use it as a phone)?

Is this still the best rooting/recovery/flashing guide?

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5/Flashing_Guide

Tell me if I have this order right --

First Root,

Then flash custom recovery, then custom rom of course.

Is there any 'one click root method'? Or 'clockwork mod recovery' equivalent?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Actually, the order is...

Install StreakMod Recovery

Install Superuser from zip

Flash custom ROM

One-click root methods aren't recommended and really aren't required. I already gave the name of the CWM equivalent in my list. Do not let the Streak boot normally after installing StreakMod or else the stock ROM will overwrite the recovery.
