[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theedge32:
Hi guys, wonder if you can help me. I have a HTC Desire (GSM) and rooted it, removed UK O2 branding and putting Froyo (2.2) on it and a new radio and Clockwork Mod Recovery. I messed around - thought I’d bricked it following a dodgy flash, as couldn't boot, get into recovery or anything, with the phone looping at the HTC logo and powering on until I took the battery out.

Thought I’d look at it today and made progress, but still can’t get a RUU to install on it. I can get into Recovery menu via bootloader and I think the SDcard is a goldcard. Issues I have are:

•	I can’t flash a RUU onto the phone from running the file through Windows, as I constantly get an Error 170 USB Connection error. I’ve tried reinstalling HTC Sync, trying different versions, tried a different USB cable and port. I’ve tried running HTC Sync as Admin, and in compatibility mode under XP SP 2 and updated the driver in Control Panel and it displays as “My HTC”, nothing works. I am running Windows 7 64 Bit.

•	I tried putting the RUU onto the phone as a PB99IMG.zip file and running it through Recovery, but I get a message saying “bad file”

•	As soon as I put a file onto the SD card, Ext3 then won’t mount with an error message and I have to repartition the SD card in Windows (Using Mini-tool Partition Wizard). The error I get is "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists) error mounting /sd-ext/!” I can fix it, but soon after it is fixed it reverts back to error it I add any files to root of the SD card to run through Recovery.

I just want to get the phone back working, whether it is branded or unbranded, and whatever RUU I can get working on it. Can anyone advise the steps I can take from here please?

My stats/versions are:

HBoot 0.93.0001

Radio 5.09.00.08

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7

S=On

Thanks,

Stewart

Tried downloading the RUU again? I recommend to check md5sum afterwards.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theedge32:
Thanks MatDroid, I've managed to get past the 171 error and now getting a 131 error, saying it is the incorrect ROM. Is there somewhere I can get confirmation of the correct ROM for my device and check MD5sum before loading?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boyeah04:
I would look at putting on another recovery, something like 4ext touch. Google it, your current clockwork recovery is pretty dated. Look at a program called android flasher, and you will be able to flash a new recovery through that.

Once you get the new recovery working, there is an option to toggle USB storage in which you can put your custom from on the SD card. Once the custom from is on your SD card, flash it through recovery. Hopefully it should work
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
you should really look at my guide, you don't flash RUU zip files through recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boyeah04:
just realised you are s- on so android flasher won't work. Therefore until you s-off your phone, as mattdroid said you may have a bad download for the ruu. Try downloading ruu again nd running the exe file
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theedge32:
Thanks guys I've figured it out and have now succesfully got the phone working.

Issues were:

I was trying to flash the wrong RUU (a 2.09 instead of 2.10) so when flashing it was rejecting as a lower version. Using the right RUU worked

My SDcard wasn't a goldcard - I thought it was but apparently not. I re-created the goldcard and it worked

I was trying to flash from the wrong place - instead of through FastBoot USB I was going into Clockwork Mod and loading files, mucking around with the mountings and things like that

All great now, so thanks again.

Galaxy S2 GTi9100

Hi,

I rooted my phone today and am now trying to install Cyanogen Mod. I followed all steps on their Wiki but now am facing a problem.

- The wiki says "Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card. "

- I placed the update .zip file on the root of the external sd card. Seems like that was not what was intended.

- I followed these steps successfully:

Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.

Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.

Optional: Select backup and restore to create a backup of current installation on the Samsung Galaxy S II.

Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.

Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.

Select Install zip from sdcard.

Select Choose zip from sdcard.​

- The next step is "Select the CyanogenMod update.zip. "

The problem is I don't see the CyanogenMod update .zip file anywhere in that list. Seems like I may have placed it in the wrong sd card?

When I try and reboot it just comes to the screen with the giant S and goes no further.

How can I resolve this problem?
[General Questions and Answers] aharol:
Adding some more information after reading a few other threads.

- Looks like I placed the cyanogen mod update .zip file in the external sd and not the internal one (stupid!!).

Now I cannot get back inside the phone to try and place it in the internal sd.

How do I solve this?
[General Questions and Answers] zerox981:
Connect the phone to the PC and mount usb in recovery. You should see a storage device in windows & then just copy the files on it.
[General Questions and Answers] aharol:
Ok. Just tried that. After I select 'mount usb storage', the next screen says on the top:

USB Mass Storage device

Leaving this menu unmount

your SD card from your PC

I then see an option to unmount.

On Windows explorer, I don't see the device.

Thinking back, I may have unchecked 'USB Debugging' before I started the process (for some reason that I cannot remember now). Would that cause a problem?
[General Questions and Answers] zerox981:
USB Debugging should not matter because you're in recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] tonystark88:
I've not understand at well the question. You want flash the CM9 from clockwork mod? I've a Galaxy Gio, but in my case i have only to:

1 - copy the ROM in the root( after flash with manager of Android, with an SD adapter or in the other possible way)

2 - backup the old rom from cwm;

3 - reboot in cwm and if i have mount errors of /cache /data or some other partition i format it and mount it manually from cwm

4 - flash the zip i've copied at step 1

Then you have to wait and at the end, reboot.

What goes wrong in these steps for you ?

EDIT: If you don't see the .zip try to remove SD and use a SD Adapter, so you can copy files manually. Or if you want use CWM you can mount the device connecting device with USB cable, go in clockwork and do "mounts and storage -> mount USB storage" and copy files in the root "/"
[General Questions and Answers] zerox981:
You can use adb push command in recovery to push files to the phone.

You can also use fastboot to flash image files to the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] aharol:
Step 1 went wrong :-)

I copied the ROM in the external SD instead of internal sd. Now trying the adb option to push the ROM into the device root. Hoping that works.
[General Questions and Answers] tonystark88:
With my GIO i copied it in the root of External SD, not internal memory.Can you report link of the guide?
[General Questions and Answers] aharol:
Sorry, I'm unable to post the link but it is the cyanogenmod wiki

wiki(dot)cyanogenmod(dot)com(forward slash)wiki(forward slash)Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide
[General Questions and Answers] tonystark88:
This guide is same as my gio guide. The ROM goes in the root of external sd, not in internal memory. Try to reinstall CWM if you don't find the zip.
[General Questions and Answers] aharol:
Thank you my friend. This worked!

Little did I realise that this simple sounding statement above would require me to set up a complete android development environment on my computer.

I'm still not sure if all that was needed but I was finally able to get the files on my device by doing an adb push.

Lovely education for me today!
[General Questions and Answers] zerox981:
Glad it helped. Sorry I forgot to mention that ... it's kinda natural to me (having the sdk installed). :)

Does anyone know if Lookout is still functioning on WM6.5? I know that only Android and iPhone versions are now offered from the official site but I believe there was a beta version running on WM6.5

I am sorry if this topic has already been covered but I seem to have lost the ability to search this forum..!

Is there a download available on here? Is it still supported for remote access via the Net? Would you still recommend it?

Thank you for any assistance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopkinskong:
Search it on Google...

http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/Lookout-Windows-Mobile-Download-106918.html

Just install it first, if it can't update or backup, just unusable anymore, it means it is died.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RicksterX:
I found the download here and installed succesfully from here. http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?t=138536

There are 3 functions:

Anti-virus and firewall - which has a useful system scan facility but I don't know how up to date the definitions are. Also, if I left this facility running in the background it interfered with some of the phone's functionality - in particular, opening jpegs and executing .exe's

Data Backup - cloud backup at www.mylookout.com which I have not tried and kept the function disabled

Missing device - which I have tried. Requires you to register your phone number and have a data or wi-fi connection running. From the www.myphone.com you can log into your account and pinpoint the location of your phone on google maps +/- 200m. You can also trigger the scream function so that the phone gives out a loud siren sound. Handy when it is lost behind a cushion on the sofa. There is also the option to wipe the phone contents if you think that it I has been lost or stolen and got into the wrong hands... I did not try that bit!

I think you can back it up to the cloud before wiping.

This last feature seems worth it on its own. It is free even though Android/iPhone users pay for it although there is no support and it uses 3g data if not connected to wi-fi.
[HTC Sensation] soothsayer59:
Hi guys do you have tutorials on how to upgrade sense 3.0 to 3.5? thank you very much!
[HTC Sensation] johnny12times:
Hello Soothsayer,

Your best bet is to install a custom rom with sense 3.5 on it. Look in the development section for all sorts of great roms. Currently, I'm using Revolution HD, which features sense 3.6, I highly recommend it. Good luck!
[HTC Desire S] seany1212:
Hi all,

New to the developer scene in terms of android phones so this current situation is causing a head scratch.

I think the problem lies because i've i tried flashing the x.x.401.x version when my phones branded software is x.x.61.x and i can't seem to find a RUU for it (20+ forum pages later). I've unlocked the HBOOT using HTCDev and i've managed to get clockworkmod on it under the recovery but the phone is still S-On and while I keep installing SU-3.0 through clockworkmod I still don't think I have root access according to ROM manager.

Any custom ROM I try to install (CyanogenMod, MIUI english fan version, MIUI official version) successfully installs on clockworkmod but just hangs on the HTC logo upon reboot and has been left for hours to make sure. I'm guessing this is down to actually having root or not?

As i've said I can't find the downgraded software version but the Europe RUU has the same radio as my phone, I am guessing that the branded software version is more important than matching radio's?

If anyone can help i'll be greatly appreciated because i'm starting to tear my hair out :confused:

Seany

EDIT: there is a x.x.61.x RUU for orange UK online somewhere but the radio is not the same (Radio_20.28b.30.0805U _38.03.02.11_M_release, as opposed to mine: 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M) i'm guessing it would be a bad idea to flash until I get confirmation as I have no idea what would happen.

EDIT EDIT: That RUU is for an older version of gingerbread (V2.3.3 compared to V2.3.5 on mine) and HTC Sense V2.1 of which mine is V3.0
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
Then you should keep reading. Not sure what you getting at with the RUU stuff.

As for the custom ROM,.......

You need to flash the boot.img of the ROM you are trying to flash. Look into it.

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC Desire S] seany1212:
From what I've researched the RUU was needed in order to downgrade the bootloader from 2.00.0002 to 0.98.0000 in order to use the Revolutionary io in order to S-Off.

As for the custom ROM I've flashed the boot and now I've got bootloop for the cyanogenmod ROM, going to try the MIUI and see what happens. It's like it isn't installing the files but I can flash the boot :confused:

EDIT: MIUI also in bootloop, I'm thinking it has something to do with the flashing of the ROM using clockworkmod because it seems like it has no progression from the boot file.
[HTC Desire S] seany1212:
Thankyou so much foX2delta, it was a boot.img issue and to do with flashing the boot, problem resolved :D

This is my first time figuring out how to put these back together... heres my issue: Im using the multi-tool the app im adjusting is mms.apk.. after I extract and edit the images in the res folder I choose option 3 to zip it up and then 5 to zip align and then it creates the new unsigned apk, which I then rename to Mms.apk ... when I dump it onto my phone it doesnt have the icon in astro, it looks like the white icon with the gear on it.. when i try to install it gives a parsing error... I assume its because its a system file and I need to adb it onto the phone.. but why isnt it showing up with the original mms icon? and then secondly.. I cant get multitool to adb push to my galaxy s2 it just says waiting on device.. is there something I need to do besides usb debugging and connect it to the computer? sorry for all the noobness.. gotta start somewhere right?

Hello everyone, I have checked expansys and at 469 pounds it is not bad, but it is still pricey, but they do take paypal. but if I select the polish expansys site it is 589 pounds and that is messed up.

I have checked http://www.ditech.at/ and they have it at 479 euros but it is sold out. I checked out Panamoz but on the site it states they do not ship to Poland, so can't order there. As for negri, I don't have a credit card and only paypal so I can't use the site.

It is on amazon.co.uk for 474 but I have no idea if they ship to poland.

I checked all the local auction sites and websites, no retailer has it as far as I know, even though the new 8.9 LTE is already on sale.

Edit, I found this http://www.pixmania.pl/pl/pl/11767537/art/samsung/galaxy-tab-7-7-wi-fi-16gb.html and was wondering if pixmania is any good?

Unless anyone knows the release date of the 7.7 in poland, I'd rather buy at a store but by looks of I doubt it will be available in retail stores anytime soon. Any help would be appreciated.

I haven't found any keyboards for ICS Asus Transformer which allow to switch input language on the dock keyboard, so I hacked standard ICS keyboard to allow russian and english layout to be used on the dock keyboard. Here is the apk, enjoy.

What works:

* All standard features, like soft keyboard and voice input should work correctly.

* Switch between russian and english using Ctrl-Space, or Ctrl+Shift (I can potentially change it to any other key combination)

* Russian and German and a few others layouts on dock keyboard :)

* NO ROOT required, the keyboard can be installed in addition to standard keyboard.

TODO:

* load kcm files

* add layouts for some other languages if anyone is interested

* pick up a sane name for the keyboard modification

* caps lock is ignored in russian mode

* Ctrl-Space and Ctrl-Shift changes layout, but doesn't update the selected keyboard subtype in list of keyboards.

Changelog:

2012-03-12 - azerty for french, fixed ENTER key to work correctly with search widget.

2012-03-11 - Restored back qwertz for German layout

2012-03-10 - Using TF101 Original KCMs provided by @bouod. German kcm layout uses qwerty instead of qwertz. Is it fine?

2012-03-09 - Added alt-<key> combinations to german layout.

2012-03-06 - added experimental German support (to enable - enable German language in keyboard settings)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] lw_temp:
there's an app called "Russian Keyboard", it works almost perfect. Just set it to "external qwerty"/
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ivan.volosyuk:
I've just tried the "Russian Keyboard":

* it works

* soft keyboard is pretty crappy (I like ICS keyboard much more, I should probably add a layout switch key to it, which is the one thing I dislike about it)

* Location of 'ё' key is unknown.

My version:

* standard ICS keyboard

* slight changes to switch dock key layouts
