I'm sorry, I can't help you further on this. The only way I have ever installed a recovery is via fastboot, which would require restarting your device in fastboot mode, which you say you are hesitant to restart your device (understandably).

Did you su before the flash_image command? Dunno if that's something obvious, or if it'd make a difference, just trying to think of anything that might help.

EDIT: Noticed the #, apparently you did su first.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxfamily:
Yep :)

So, I'm still stuck.

I didn't find any solution and no one seems to have this issue with flash_image.

What is strange is that I can erase mtd10 (with /dev/zero) but I cannot write it back :confused:

I'm not sure that I can boot in fastboot mode with this phone.

Is there a way to be sure of this, when the phone is on ?

I think I can restart the phone, I've "only" erased the recovery, not the boot, so the phone should normally start ... I guess.

EDIT: hum, strange but it seems that my recovery as well been written anyway.

I've done a dump of mtd10, unpacked it, and I can see my build ... well, I think I've just to restart and cross my finger now ...

EDIT2: I did it ! :)

I'm into Clockwork Recovery 2.5.1.8 ... but it doesn't work very well. I can navigate into the menu but I get a blank screen entering an item.

Anyway, it's a good start :D

EDIT3: the other good news is that the phone has a fast boot mode ... it can be useful ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SifJar:
Well, it's a good start at least. All the best with getting it fully working.

Hi,

Did you get it works?

Can you make tut I want CWM for my PD10 tablet.

Thx!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxfamily:
Unfortunately, not :(

And I've bricked the phone playing too much with the /system partition, so ...

I'm afraid that it's not so simple.

There are a lot of requirement to achieve this kind of thing and it is better to have the device in order to test in realtime.

Good luck.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamed...:
I can help you

I have a A68

I can make a custom recovery for it:D

I don't make it I port it from zte blade:p

Every things work well

I try to port a rom but always I can't

Maybe we(I and you) can do it

I can upload it

If you want ...

:(:crying:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxfamily:
Glad to hear that, it is a good start, congratulations.

Well, I will be very happy to help you in this adventure but I've a little tiny problem: I've bricked my A68 lol

I've played too much with the ROM without any security so ... my bad

But if you send me your recovery and a Nandroid of your phone, I will be (maybe) able to get it back to work and so, build a custom rom for it.

Can you do that ? I can send you an FTP access to upload the files if you want.

Thanks :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxfamily:
Finaly I was able to resurect my A68 (don't ask how ...).

So now I'm really curious to know which recovery did you use ?

I've tried with the recovery for the ZTE Racer II as it uses the same chipset as the A68, but doesn't work.

Did you take a recovery and modify it yourself to include the kernel of the A68 ?

[Motorola Droid 3] djmattyg007:
I just purchased a Motorola Droid 3 XT862. It came loaded with a whole lot of Verizon stuff, and assumes I'm living in the USA. I'm living in Australia and would really prefer to have a choice of locale, and just get all of the pre-installed stuff off there because I'm not gonna use most it. From what I can tell, my only option is to flash the phone with a different firmware.

While I'm aware of the additional features of a couple of the mods such as Cyanogen, because this is my very first Android phone and I'd just like to play around with the stock OS before making any decisions regarding mods, I'd prefer to just stick with vanilla Gingerbread.

So my question is, for someone who has no idea what they're doing, how do I go about putting the stock Android OS on my phone?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Honestly CM is as close for Gingerbread you will get. There are some good stripped down ROMs based off of stock.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
You should try Ice Cream Sandwich.
[Motorola Droid 3] djmattyg007:
I'm not quite ready to try Ice Cream Sandwich just yet.

Do you think it simply isn't possible to get a stock version of Android for my phone?
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I use Mavrom myself http://www.droidforums.net/forum/maverick-rom-d3/200510-maverick-rom-v3-5-droid-3-a.html

use it with a different launcher to get rid of the blur launcher, and the rom is pretty close to stock android. You can choose google mucisc and stock messaging too.

No verizon-crap either.

If you don't want mavrom i heard liberty is close to stock too, but never tried it myself and not sure if's being updated still
[Motorola Droid 3] djmattyg007:
I'm not sure what the launcher is, sorry. I literally have no idea what I'm doing.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Well, motorola uses blur launcher.. which is basically the way your homescreen looks (=desktop) and your app drawer. So if you don't want blur use something like go launcher, or stick with blur if you don't care.

You can use morelocale2 (app) to choose your locale.

You could also just root and use the de-bloat script (stickied) to remove all the bloat-ware
[Motorola Droid 3] slayer621:
You should root your phone and install CyanogenMod 7. It's not ICS and it's quite stable. It's an AOSP (Android Open Source Project) ROM so all those useless apps (bloatware) will be removed.

The link to the thread is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1308924

I'm not sure if Australia is GSM, but here's the link for the patch if it is. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357350

I have not tested the patch as I live in the US
[Motorola Droid 3] ratman6161:
I'll give a counter point to all those saying "root your phone" or flash this ROM or that ROM. Since you say, " I literally have no idea what I'm doing" and elsewhere you say this is your first Android my recommendation would be to just stick with stock for a while and learn how things work before diving into rooting, custom ROM's etc.

In the meantime, one pretty harmless thing you can do is to try different launchers. These give you a somewhat different look and feel to the "desktop" but since they are really an app, you can easily get back to stock by just uninstalling it. That would be much more of a pain free way to go while you try things out and learn. I would ignore those telling you to root at this point.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
The only reason I would root is because the battery life is better when you make some tweaks that are only available on root. Even if you just tweak the stock ROM with a couple things it can be worth it.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
This was my first android phone and the first thing I did was root it. With pete's tool it couldn't be easier
[Motorola Droid 3] bigmike35:
so is there still no way to flash back to stock if you do the stage upgrade to 906?

2.flash cwm 5( just google cwm5 for samsung galaxy ace xdadevelopers.com)

3.choose a rom u prefer..always remember that theres no thing called best rom..every rom is best in its own way..( though many of us including me prefer cm7 for its sheer awesomeness :) )

4. always thank the rom developer and appreciate his work( hitting the thanxx button will also do)

[HTC Sensation] runkpock3r:
Hey guys, I just purchased a sensation on ebay. It was great when i first got it, but immediately i decided to put it under the light, to check if it had dust underneath the screen (being that it was a common problem), and it did. Alot. I want to keep the phone because it is so damn awesome, but was wondering if anyone one here got to fix it themselves? or got some professional to fix it and if they had good results from it. Since I bought the phone off of ebay, I would not be able to send it off to HTC for the repair. I visited a cell repair shop (ubreakifix.com) and they told me to come back later for the repair. Anyone have suggestions regarding the dust under the screen issue? Should i just return the phone to the seller on ebay?

Also, another minor issue i have noticed was the front facing camera quality. In low light settings, the picture quality came out REALLY dark and GRAINY compared to my mytouch4g. Is this common among all htc sensation users? Any help would be appreciated!
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
There is a thread that talks about dust underneath... Search for it and discuss right there
[HTC Sensation] MrMessi10:
First question i can't answer.

Second question: The front camera is a VGA camera, so the quality isnt good.
[HTC Sensation] ThomasAndroid:
I had the dust problem.. I have to keep blowing to get them off.

And since the quality of the front camera is VGA, it is really low quality.
[HTC Sensation] FrenzyGr:
Fortunately for me I never had that problem with dust under the screen, I guess I am with the few lucky ones.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
worth a shot, check to see if there's dust on the front cam cause mine accumulates a lot of dust after only 3 days and it severely lowers quality.

Hi

I have tried many ICS roms and they seem to have wireless problems.

at times it takes time for them to connect or at times they are not able to connect. sometime there is no error message but at times i get authentication error (btw authentication credentials are correct). Is something wrong with ICS. Si anyone else have these problems. Is there any fix for it. i have tried many ics roms with different combination of kernels, mostly its the same issue.

i always have to revert back to GB rom and wireless is fine.connects instantly

any help will be appreciated.

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] severoprisan:
Hi,

Same here. But I can't decide if it is because of juice defender or ICS. In GB worked ok even with Juice defender.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakezpeenz:
I've had the same problem. Tried many different ICS roms over the last 2 weeks or so.

The last one I tried - HyDrOG3N-ICS was horrible...

Wireless would not connect at all, even though I was standing right next to the router.

After reading through the forums etc I decided to start from scratch.

I reloaded stock Samsung rom with odin, hard reset the phone, formatted my external sdcard and deleted everything on the int sdcard.

I then loaded latest siyah GB kernel.

After this, I install HyDrOG3N-ICS 23.03

Installed GApps

Rebooted and waited 20 minutes (read it somewhere on the forums)

Rebooted and changed to SiyahKernel v3.0beta6 kernel

And finally installed DXLP7 modem.

I then reloaded all my apps from Market (Not apps restored from backups)

After all this, everything seems to work very well... Wireless is connected and working well.

I do have a problem with mobile data disconnecting every now and then, but it returns after a minute or so - might even be a problem with my provider.

I dont know which one of these steps was actually required - but this sorted it out for me.

It's almost like I had 'leftover' bits and pieces of all the different roms I tried... If it makes sense?

I dont know enough to confirm if this was the case - perhaps its not possible.

Perhaps it was just a happy shot that it all worked for me.

If you have a couple of hours spare - give it a bash...

Cheers

[Defy General] Goose-T:
Hi all!

I've started this thread to share experience about the custom ROMs made exclusively for the Defy+, because I haven't seen such a collection topic here before. There's no Defy+ section here yet, and it's sometimes hard to find out if a Defy ROM works on MB526 also. So let's start off with the ROMs I've tried so far:

1. MIUI Pikachu Edition - this ROM has bricked my phone with bootloader error, but I've been able to bring it back to life by flashing this SBF with RSD Lite, which proved as a good base for Defy+ custom ROMs.

2. Epsylon's CM7.2, which had to be modded with camera and battery fix. It has some annoying bugs, and the latest version here is still from 27th January. Better avoid using it.

3. CM7 WhiteRabbit Edition 1.3 - it's just upgraded to 1.4, but the 1.3 I tried was based on the same 27th January build, so same annoying bugs. Looking good and fast as lightning on the other hand. UPDATE: I've asked TweetyPeety in the forum to use the latest Quarx2k CM builds instead of Epsylon's, and he said he would look into it.

4. CM9 by Quarx, build from 18th March. Awesome look, but the GUI is very slow, I suppose the hardware acceleration is not fully implemented yet. The overall operating of this ROM is quite fast though, the Gallery is exceptionally fast, if I overlook the graphical lags. Surprising, but I haven't experienced any stability problems, no FCs, no reboots, everything worked, this one looks super-stable. Only a few features are missing. Keep up the good work, Quarx.

5. CM7.2 by Quarx, build 20120323. I'm using it now, no problems so far. The GUI is a bit less fluid compared to WhiteRabbit. UPDATE: New 20120328 build has arrived!

6. NEW! EuroSkank KANGs for Defy+. No bugs encountered so far, the GUI is a little bit smoother than on Quarx2k's build, but maybe it's just a placebo effect.

7. Nothing But Speed! I'm using it right now, and it's extraordinary. New ROM based on MS2Ginger, tweaked by me, check it out here!

Note: I had to disable CPU management in the 2ndInit bootmenu for Quarx ROMs, otherwise it displays 0MHz as maximum frequency in CM performance settings, cannot be changed, and the CPU does not reach 1GHz.

WARNING! This thread is not for beginners. If you are not familiar with flashing SBF files, installing 2ndInit, installing zipped updates from recovery, doing nandroid backups etc, read this beginner's guide first!

Brilliant thread. The defy plus is replacing the defy everywhere and there should be more dedicated threads like this.

[Defy General] shrek8421:
Tried that fix

I have already applied both the fixes as instructed but there was no difference.
[Defy General] ejstubbs:
The Defy+ is just a Defy with the Bayer (red lens) camera (which some Defys have anyway), a larger capacity battery and overclocked to 1GHz (which you can easily do on a rooted Defy). It's exactly the same hardware platform as the red lens Defy and the same ROMs will work on it as on the red lens Defy. There really isn't much point in having separate Defy and Defy+ threads IMO, it would just clutter up the forums and cause confusion.
[Defy General] dvdOpulento:
I don't think so.. Defy+ seems to have some specific issues: problems on camera, battery, new sbf.. If not, why the modders are shipping specific builds for this device?
[Defy General] niksy+:
But the confusion is already there :D

He is right, you know. DEFY+ is an overclocked bayer camera DEFY with a larger battery.

*Camera and battery fixes are needed on Epsylon's builds, because he has a SOC DEFY. Quarx's has had a DEFY+ for a short while now, but his builds are already completely adjusted to it (both camera and battery are working completely correctly)

Everybody with an MB526! I've started an all-in-one guide thread for it, since the confusion is obviously very present... Please, ask questions that you have and things you think should be in the guide in private messages! So we don't mess up the thread too quickly.

@Goose-T Mate, please don't be offended by this!
[Defy General] Goose-T:
The kernel of your phone may not be fully compatible with CyanogenMod. What is your phone's build and kernel version? You can find it in Settings/About phone.
[Defy General] Goose-T:
Unfortunately most of the custom ROMs for Defy are made to be compatible with Froyo kernel, which cannot be flashed to Defy+, as far as I know. That's the biggest separation line in my opinion.
[Defy General] niksy+:
Froyo can be flashed on DEFY+ and it's as simple as flashing 2.3.6 that you like to tell people to do so much :p

Guys, don't rush into things. Read, then read more, then ask about what you are unsure about, then read more, then triple check, and then maybe you're set to try modding. DEFY and DEFY+ are almost impossible to brick completely, but that doesn't make the experience of your phone being stuck at Motorola logo easier at all. Trust me :)
