[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ammm84:
I have tried what you tell me, rooting device as said on the wiki, but after this step:

We call these two md5_2 and md5_3 in the next section

If md5_3 matches md5_1: gfree 0.7 failed to powercycle your emmc chip. Either your software version is to high and you did not downgrade (see "Downgrading HTC Desire Z and Desire HD" in the beginning of this guide) or you did something wrong. Try again or join #G2ROOT on Freenode and ask for help!

If md5_3 does not match md5_1 and md5_3 does not match md5_2: First DON'T REBOOT and second run for help at #G2ROOT on Freenode.

If md5_3 matches md5_2: You are fine, Reboot your phone by executing the following command in the root shell (indicated by the #):

# reboot

Green HTC logo gets freezed on the screen, and doesn't start. Obviously, md5_3 matches md5_2

I want to kill myself.

Edit: When I try to enter recovery, it has detected the original rom on the SD, and has started updating. I will write tomorrow with the results!

Thanks!!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ammm84:
As I told you, after the reboot, my desire gets freezed on the green HTC logo. I have Desire Z stock froyo ROM downloaded from the downgrading tutorial here, and it has detected it, and started installing it. Now the device starts perfect, and except the trackpad, all the buttons works perfect.

I think I need to install the Desire Z HBoot. Do I need? Will this solve the problem of the trackpad? I want to change the rom, an don’t know if trackpad won’t work with other roms.

Is there someway to make a donation to this forum?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
...if you want to install sense 3+ roms you have to change your hboot to the dz one (use the link nipqer provided)

and remove the pc10img.zip from your sdcard (otherwise it will always update if you try to enter recovery)

donations are not necessary, use the thanks button

EDIT: be sure that your bootloader shows s-off and you have root !
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syaiful_86:
huhuhu

to many link ... sorry for this stupid question... there anyway that i can get tutorial to downgrade the software or to restock original software (android froyo)?

coz im suspecting my DZ problem coz by software...

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lineaira:
I don't mind questions :D, besides, stupid questions don't exist, only stupid answers.

The tutorial I used to downgrade my Vision is:

For HTC Desire Z

For T-mobile G2

just follow it by heart and don't panic if you do not understand something. If you just copy paste the commands all should go well.

After that use the links I posted in my previous post for rooting..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ammm84:
Now, I'm root, and S-Off. I want to install the HBoot of the DZ, but how can I know wich HBOOT I have? after my problem instaling the first ROM, I don't know wich HBOOT I have, and this warning of the tutorial frigtens to me:

DesireZ users, none of this applies to you unless you flashed the G2 HBOOT at some point, such as when you rooted. While the process has been tested on my own device and several testers, there remains a small amount of risk of bricking your phone. I think it is unlikely but I will not be responsible if it happens; consider yourself warned.

In another hand on the trackpad problem, I have opened qwerty.kl, and at the middle, more or less, I have found waht you tell me:

key 232 DPAD_CENTER WAKE_DROPPED

key 108 DPAD_DOWN WAKE_DROPPED

key 103 DPAD_UP WAKE_DROPPED

key 105 DPAD_LEFT WAKE_DROPPED

key 106 DPAD_RIGHT WAKE_DROPPED

However, in vision-keypad.kl, and vision-keypad-wwe.kl, there is a part of the text with the tittle #not use in vision:

...

...

...

#232 DPAD_CENTER WAKE DROPPED

But nothing about 108, 103, 105, and 106

Do I need to erase the "#", and type the rest of the keys?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lineaira:
Yesh, you should do so. Then it should work.

And if you followed the guide I provided, you should have the Engineering HBOOT, and you should be able to flash any rom you like...

And that message has to be there, because rooting and such will always bring the slight risk of bricking your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ammm84:
I have no permission to write in System folder. I have tried to do what you tell me:

adb shell
su -
cd /system/usr/
chmod -r 777 keylayout

but after typing the last command, I get a message:

Bad mode

By terminal emulator, I get the same error
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isitafox:
I was just wondering, I'm looking at changing from power rom to something different and noticed everyone says always do a nandroid before flashing a new rom.

My question is, for all those who regularly change roms how do you restore all your apps and data quickly and easily, is there a way of partially restoring some of it from your nandroid backup as when I go to restore from a nandroid you get the option to restore the entire backup or just a certain part of it??

Forgive me if this is a stupid question but I find it really annoying having to redownload everything over and over, especially with all the problems I've had recently and thought I may be missing something obvious!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Nandroid is for updating from compatable -> compatable roms, as in they will work fine without a fac reset.

Use titanium backup if you're crossing roms that cant be used without fac resets, and only restore user apps and manually do system apps.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
Thanks for the link !

Very tempting indeed. The only thing that puts me off this type of thing is the thought of them trying to wriggle their way out of a claim ... has anyone had any dealings with them for a claim (UK)?

Accidental cover is very appealing !
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] trex3491:
There is quite a few reviews on the product which sound good. And the reply to my emails were very prompt even on a Sunday which I was impressed with.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Felisek:
It looks very nice, but...

All the positive reviews on Amazon are from people who never made a claim. They only tell you that buying the policy is quick and easy. But this is the case with most insurers, I'd like to see how they deal with real claims.

My second problem is that it runs concurrently with manufacturers warranty for the first year, so effectively you buy a one-year policy, which does not include loss or theft (though this is typically included in home insurance). There is one comment on Amazon from a person who tried to claim in the first year and was told by Squaretrade to use manufacturer's warranty.

Thirdly, they cover up to the total sum of the tablet's value, £500. So, if you use it up in one claim (e.g., replacement), you will not be able to claim again. Effectively, it is a one-off policy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] h0kum:
Yeah it doesn't sound that useful. Don't forget that Asus has extended the TFP warranty to 18 months so you're covered for faults during almost all the time you'd have SquareTrade. Get accidental damage cover on your home insurance for everything else, if it goes wrong outside of warranty it can suffer an entirely unintentional drop onto a concrete floor.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 22350:
What is going on with this. I am on caulkins el29.

I have just installed it and I wanted to put Digitalclock.apk back on the phone.

I tried one I downloaded.

I tried one that was in my apps backup..

I tried one that was in uninstalled system apps.

Nothing works.

I even tried pulling my external sd card. I tried installing with the cable plugged in.

I tried unmounting and reformatting my sd card.

Nothing will get this stupid app to install. I have now dedicated 4 hours to trying to install a clock.

Does anyone have an idea of what is happening? I am on an epic touch, rooted with caulkins el29
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
You need to paste it into system/apps then install it...you will need root explorer or other app ...I think Esfile explorer may work also
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Reboot bro.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 22350:
Androzip says that it can't move it due to system restrictions.

esfile explorer won't let me get off of the sd card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 22350:
Not trying to be a wise guy, but do you really think that I haven't tried rebooting the phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
That's the only thing you didn't say you did, wipe cache and dalvik, reflash the rom, don't wipe data. It'll be back on there no problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 22350:
OK, went into recovery. Wiped cache and dalvik cache. Reinstalled the rom.

Same thing. None of the apk's on the sd card will install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfcooley:
I've used root explorer to copy and paste it into system apps. Changed permissions to rw-r-r and sometimes need to reboot.

I have the version from an ics theme that has the green replaced with blue.

If youdd like to try that one I can upload and post.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 22350:
that would be great
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfcooley:
PM sent.

Just incase someone else may want.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 22350:
Well that didn't work... I see a lot of posts from people about this issue, but no one seems to know what's going on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfcooley:
I don't know then. I'm on Caulkins ICS and have just copied it over.

May be stupid question as I'm sure you've tried everything but did you try deleting the old first?

Sorry it didn't help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 22350:
none of the system apks (put in the uninstalled folder) will install.

stuff on the market installs fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xST4T1K:
Gotta get root explorer bro, always works for me use the same method with it and be sure to toggle read/write settings, if not, make sure you have full root access and not partial, you may want to reflash the rom too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LuCkyCn:
Getting errors while trying to install apks from the Removed_App/system_app folder on the Bare ROM?

Be sure to install them through ADB, root explorer, etc. Don't try to install them by clicking on it like you would a normal apk

Ex. ADB command

Code:

remount rw

cat /sdcard/Removed_Apps/system_app/App.apk > /system/app/App.apk

chmod 644 /system/app/App.apk

chown 0.0 /system/app/App.apk

reboot

Copied straight from Calk.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mx499:
i have the same issue, some of the stuff from titanium back up wouldn't install, and the same files won't install from the market either.

these are some of the stuff i've tried but yet failed

1. wipe cache and delvic

2. tried on other ics roms

3. formated sd card.

4. rebooted the phone.

it justs says, couldn't install on usb drive or sd card.

I would really like a fix.

it happened ever since I've install ICS. i do not feel like going back to GB

1. because of chances of bricking.

2. because it's a hassel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfcooley:
With TBU try preferences/App Processing Mode

if it's set for direct change to indirect or vice versa. Might help. Supposed to help if app hangs on restore
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mx499:
whats tbu?

---------- Post added at 03:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 AM ----------

how do you do this? in the market or titanium?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfcooley:
Sorry, Titanium Back Up..= tbu.

Open Titanium, menu, prefrences, scroll down to "App Processing Mode"

Once you open it there are 3 choices. Direct, Indirect and a third I cantt remember.

The FAQ for Titanium recommends indirect if you have problems during restore (like it hangs).

Not sure this will help. Did for me on an app so thought I would offer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mx499:
thank you but it's only for pro users.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfcooley:
Honestly, it is one app you should purchase. If you plan on flashing often you may find it well worth the money. I own many, many apps, tbu is one of my first and best purchases.

Just advice.

Gif files are not animated on my 5660m flashed with Arpeggiomod V0.9. I have tried viewing the file in "dolphin browser HD" and "reddit is fun" but in both cases I just see the first frame of the gif.

This file is indeed animated on my friends Galaxy S2.

Any advice?

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Alucai Vivorvel:
There is a thread on here for getting Adobe Flash on any ARMv6 phone, and I've gotten it working on my Gio before. The thread title reports the version as being either 11.10 or 11.01, but it is in fact 10.3.

Search that up in the top right. Remember, though, your phone must be rooted and you must have Root Explorer or some similar app.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] JustVass:
Ppl what are you talking about? OP asked about GIF, not flash! :)

BTW, does viewing .gif file locally (say, via gallery) work? Maybe that Arpeggiomod has some bug that prevents gif animation from working... You should also try other browsers as well (say, Opera Mobile and builtin Android browser).
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:

[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
Im sure this is a no go but thought i'd ask for the hell of it. Basically, my only PC has been my laptop and I *accidentally* broke it.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I don't know if you're still locked or not but I think you would have to already be unlocked. You do need a pc to get the unlock token and flash that, I don't think there's any way around that, but if there is hopefully someone will post it if you need it.

If you're already unlocked you may be able to. There's an new tool that I believe lets you flash a recovery from your phone (I haven't had a need for it so haven't looked into it in depth), and I know that if you flash Amon Ra you can get root from that by installing su in the developer menu.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1504824
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
There's no single app like z4root that will root the Rezound. Like feralicious points out you need a PC just to get the unlock token. I tried to create an app for this way back when but it didn't work without the developer USB access. And now that the exploit has been plugged the only way to root is via Amon Ra or by loading a custom ROM with root already installed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cartoonmonkey:
So, if I had gotten my Note on that web special for $150.00 and then wanted to go back to my original carrier, I have 30 days before the ETF kicks in, right?

What if I lose my Note in the interim? I pay the full price for that subsidized phone, $350 or so, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Flustered:
How did you lose it? I would imagine the size of the phone makes it a bit more difficult to leave somewhere or forget underneath something.

Unless you mean you just want to say it's lost and get the phone for just the $325 ETF?

If you try that you usually end up paying about the same as the phone would actually cost unlocked, because you also have to pay the first months bill, and they usually stick you with other fees on the final bill. And you can't really get out of it, unless you don't care that the bill gets sent to collections and put on your credit report.

The best thing to do would be to ride it out with the insurance, you did take the phone insurance right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hyelton:
More like $650 if its lost and u didnt have insurance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Envy Diz:
Insurance is 200 bills if you paid 150 that's 350 still worth it if you ask me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Camaro1LE:
You have 30 days to get insurance after purchasing any phone. So buy the insurance and get a replacement. I still don't know how you could loose the largest phone in the world.:banghead:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] h2447intx:
let me get this right ,, if you have the insurance and you claim it lost or stolen you pay 200 bucks and you get another one?

HHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Envy Diz:
Yup that is correct.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Flustered:
Ya, and you can also get AT&T customer support to waive or credit back the deductible, so the replacement would be free.

assurion can refuse ur lost claim.they done that **** to me couple years back.i never get any insurance from att anymore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jkforce:
There is a catch though...

I have filed a claim lost phone before and asked bunch of questions to assurion at the time trying to understand the system. I am not sure what your intention is to ask such question, but if you have insurance and report your phone as lost to assurion, that phone is immediately unusable. AT&T marks IMEI # or whatever you have on the back of your phone for lost and if you bring that phone to the other store to use, they will know the phone was being reported as lost. I heard there is a method where one can change phone's IMEI #, but heard it ain't easy.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Freeroot:
I didn't realize ics was bricking phones. I've been going to and from ics since the initial release. I think it's more that people are just being careless and not paying attention to what they are doing *or* they are doing something like using rom manager or touch recovery. Which if you haven't heard, DO NOT USE EITHER OF THESE ON OUR PHONES.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevalB:
What I've learned through out my time flashing is:

1. Use the one-click ODIN+Root+Data Wipe for EL29 (Latest GB release).

2. If a custom recovery is required, wait for one to be created which matches the current build you have, ex. FB21 + FB21 Repack w/CWM. Usually the dev's are pretty good at getting one put together.

3. Do not restore back ups, ever. I repeat EVER.

4. Make sure all the drivers are installed before doing anything. (Samsung Kies, etc.)

5. If you need to get custom recovery for EL29, use the AutoRoot stickie, which has a 100% success rate.

6. Wipe, Wipe, Wipe, and more Wipe. I can't repeat that enough, but make sure you wipe every chance you get. Hell, wipe before flashing, after flashing, flash again, etc.

I keep the majority of my apps on Dropbox, and have my contacts synced through Exchange (Sprint server).

I have yet to brick a phone.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xST4T1K:
I made a full thread on how to prevent bricking your phone when using ICS roms, it's perfectly fine to use ICS as long as you don't get careless, heres my thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1525495
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
Well i would have to disagree with this. I was in the dev irc when the first bricks happened. Including sbrissen, a few of his testers and then recently steadyhawking (who obviously got another phone already). Has nothing to do with carelessness, theres just some problems with the process as a whole right now.

Until I hear from Steady or sbrissen that the issue is completely gone. I appreciate the effort, but since we dont know EXACTLY what it is (hell there could be even more things that we dont know that are causing it) no ICS for this guy.

PS: You should add rouge recovery to the list of bricks suspects. Thats how steady bricked his phone the other day. he was in his own recovery and it still did it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Freeroot:
WOAHH. I had no idea steady bricked his phone. I knew t.c.p. did. This adds a new dimension to this thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xST4T1K:
Completely understandable, I would add it but the only problem is there is no way of knowing what he was doing when it bricked, an action has to be done for a phone to brick and without knowing that action I can't say "don't use rogue" or people would think I'm an idiot and nobody would be on ICS if that were the case, but I've been using ICS since the leaks came out and never had an issue once following my own guide (using rogue everytime btw).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Freeroot:
I agree with you and I haven't had any problems either. and I mean since fb09 all the way to the current calk build. If Steady did actually brick his phone like the guy says, then there is probably some other reason that we are unaware of. Steady seems to have a pretty good grasp on what he's doing. That kinda scares me, but I have yet to find where he posted about bricking his device or a warning to stay away from ics or something along those lines :skeptical:
