Hello Android users,

I have a problem which I tried to resolve it but cannot. Whenever I try to download anything from Dev-Host website, I get the following error

"Invalid token or your download link has expired. Please click here and try your download again".

I have tried different browsers and even tried different internet by tethering my phone. I think the problem is with my computer and I have no idea how to fix it. I have seen users on XDA forum asking the same questions but I have not seen any thread where solution was given. Any help to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.
[Android General] MS_Guru:
This was driving me nuts as well. Basically, they only allow downloads via our devices. It could be an early attempt at preventing device mismatches during download (which might be cool, but probably not the case), more likely this is just a silly attempt to thwart piracy and better track downloads.

Either way, like me, your preferred method of download is via a computer, something that's apparently not allowed... Simple answer, use your device, walla, the download works.

Here's a couple freebies for the Dev-Host Admin's.

1) Clarify that downloads are available ONLY via ones device. (if that is the case)

2) Don't alienate computer users, embrace us. Don't force us to use hacks, scripts, etc... This brews dissension in the ranks... Instead embed a barcode on each download page. You get what you want, we don't waste time!!
[Android General] DevHost:
If possible I would like to have a few users test a download on their device and computer using the following link http://d-h.st/OXO.

Please post below if you can download from both. If you are unable to download on one or both please list your operating system, browser, and error you may receive.

We will immediately begin troubleshooting and resolve the issue as soon as possible.

NOTE: You will receive an error if you are trying to download http://alpha.d-h.st/OXO?action=download rather than the correct URL which is http://d-h.st/OXO so always make sure the uploader has a properly formatted link.

[Android General] DevHost:
Can you confirm you are having these issues also? This sounds like an issue that was resolved over a month ago.
[Android General] DevHost:
We have made a few changes which might correct the issues select few are having. If you are one of the users that have been experiencing issues downloading please test again with http://d-h.st/OXO

Just making note of Dev-Host Response.....

Shortly after my post, I was contacted by a Dev-Host admin regarding my download issues. As of today's date, I am now able to download via any browser without error. My hats off to the quick response on the part of the admins at Dev-Host. Thanks guys.... :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] neo21:
Just got my 7.7 and really happy so far. My device is from Egypt as far as I can tell. Thus the onboard Swype is loaded with Arabic language pack which is of no use for me, but I could use the German version of Swype that is supposed to come with the Austrian firmware. Anybody here that can provide that apk...don't want to root and change the firmware just for a keyboard app :)

Thanks! :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] xenix96:
Swype_CSC_ATO.rar you can download there FILES GT-6800

Just put it @root System/app and reboot.

Then its should be fine :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] neo21:
thanks, but I was not able to successfully use the apk...got force closed error everytime I tried to launch Swype...

Rooted my tab anyways and now going to install the Austrian firmware...that's the ...AUT.exe right? At least AUT is the country code for Austria ;-)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] xenix96:
ATO is austrian

AUT is switzerland

:)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] neo21:
hm are you 100% sure? "AUT" is the official ISO-3166 code for "Austria" (link to wikipedia.org)

...Switzerland should be "CHE" (according to ISO-3166-3), no clue what "ATO" is supposed to be ;-)

But German should be in the AUT firmware as well even if its Switzerland, right? Do you know if they just have plain German-Germany or really Austrian or Swiss German in Swype?

Thanks for hanging, great job with the firmware and comprehensive post for us 7.7 owner! ;-)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] xenix96:
Just take a look on this Samsung Country CSC code reference

:)

And i got on my device ATO=Austrian Firmware :) thats why i attached the swype.apk ^^
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] neo21:
alright...I will give the Swiss (= ...AUT.exe) firmware a try and install it on my Egyptian 3G 7.7 using mobile odin...just gotta love globalization ;-)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] shazoom:
You need to delete or rename the app and a lib file (Swype.app & libcoreswype.so, I seem to remember) then join the beta program, download and run the installer. Instructions are on the Swype forums somewhere.
[LG Revolution] fallguy0980:
So the phone was working fine and i had rooted it. I installed CWM pro and proceeded to use cwm to flash the cwm recovery. It asked me which phone mine is and I chose esteem, because i thought esteem and revolution are the same.. it said flash was successful and i restarted the phone. Ever since I have been stuck at the lg boot logo, and ive tried hard resetting/clearing the phone, and it all seems to go well but it never reloads the operating system. I have tried to put the phone into download/emergency mode by pressing down and power until i see the logo, then releasing, but my pc doesnt seem to recognize any change when i plug in the phone... it did show up once as usb but then installed that driver and nthing has happened since. I downloaded lgpnst or whatever its called. and i installed the 910.dll, but when i plug the phone into it, it never recognizes a port... anyone have any suggestions on what i should do from here?
[LG Revolution] kyledyr:
I literally did the exact same thing on ROM Manager, tried to flash the Esteem rom. D'oh. It sounds like you're almost on the right track, but to get to recovery mode you have to do volume UP (not down) and power button. I was only able to do it when I removed the battery and plugged the phone into my compy for power. Try following the instructions posted here by another member recently:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1564941

Good luck!
[LG Revolution] GuestK00134:
The revolution is not compatible with ROM Manager. See the development section for all you need to root, ROM, etc
[LG Revolution] Cal8192:
ROM Manager only does a "fake" flash of CWM.

On my G2X I had to use NVFlash. Used the revotoolkit to flash my Revo back in the day. That method is out dated now. Use MT's all in one from the dev forum.
[LG Revolution] fallguy0980:
kyledyr, Im trying this now.. if this works I owe you... i have tried everything, but didnt know about taking the battery out to get into download mode.. strange, ill report back!

update: YES!!!! DOWNLOAD MODE AT LAST!!!!

I'll let you Know from here how it all goes!!! Thanks so much!
[LG Revolution] kyledyr:
Sweet. Hope it works out. That is how I ended up on gv 2.0. Which tot file are you flashing to? I suggest v7 at this point in time.
[LG Revolution] fallguy0980:
I was getting ready to ask you where i can get the v7 tot file? I dont have any yet?

And I see there is a V8 version now? Is this fully stable? all features working? or should i stick with v7
[LG Revolution] kyledyr:
This thread has all of the tot files posted:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1337386

I recommend the v7 solely because it can still be rooted, while v8 requires you to root before updating (although that might be changing soon). V8 should be fully stable.
[LG Revolution] fallguy0980:
Excellent. Installing the V7 version now. So once I have this installed... which technique should i use to flash CWM? So that i can try out other roms? and which custom ROM would you recommend?

update: that worked awesome! Thanks again, now my phone is working again!
[LG Revolution] kyledyr:
Nice. To root and flash CWM, use MT's AllInOne pack, found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1348557

As far as custom roms, that is a point of personal preference. I am using GingerVolt 2.0, which does a great job of eliminating lag, bloatware, and Verizon crap. It is the most stable LG Revolution rom (I believe). I can't say for certain, but I think it shortened my battery life though. I can't tell you which you'll like the best. Check out the Development forum for options. I'm waiting (patiently) for the GV update for V8 before I install V8.
[LG Revolution] fallguy0980:
I loaded v7 and it was stuck in test mode, so i loaded v4 and it was no longer in testmode. I reloaded v7 and its back in test mode lol so i am going back to v4, then follow the root and cwm tutorial.. then i'll just put the gingervolt rom on there.. that should update it to v7 when i change the rom right?
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
No v4 is froyo. You can't put gingervolt over froyo. Test mode has not been found to be able to get out of.
[LG Revolution] fallguy0980:
So im stuck using v4 then until someone finds a way out of test mode?
[LG Revolution] kyledyr:
Mine was also stuck in test mode. It's a bummer, but it's an unfortunate side effect of screwing up the recovery like we both did. It'll work fine other than mounting usb to your computer. I know, sorry. I'm hoping v8 helps with test mode issues.
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
Unfortunately yes. If you don't to be in test mode.
[LG Revolution] fallguy0980:
So i can still use v7, and gingervolt, i just have to give up usb mode? thats not so bad i dont guess lol
[LG Revolution] fallguy0980:
How do I use the allinone root & recovery with test mode stuck?

Now I Have vs910zv7, in test mode, so how do i use this?
[LG Revolution] kyledyr:
Go to settings, applications, development, check the box for enable usb debugging (if it's not already checked). Plug into your computer, run the all in one, enter the number forroot and install cwm, hit enter.
[LG Revolution] fallguy0980:
excellent, thanks again
[LG Revolution] fallguy0980:
So im trying to flash to v4 again and stuck at 0 percent on the lgpnst tool, any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d12unk13astard:
Ok I keep getting this weird blank white screen when I try to access xda forums on my win 7 PC, it says on the bottom left :Read ads.pubmatic.com.

This doesnt happen on my phone and I just formatted my PC with a clean install. So what is going on, I need xda on my computer NAO!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
YOu

Try a different browser....when it loads it goes to a add and it must

Be screwed try chrome

Reformat again and get rid of windows .... Linux ftw

But seriously you can easily dual boot now and never use windows again I keep windows only because of my bluray player in my laptop...for some reason Linux doesn't like bluray
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] .Arkham:
Same thing here (in Firefox). I Google'd it and found that other people having the same problem on other sites too. I checked one of those sites and the same thing happened, page loads a little-bit and then get the blank page when ads.pubmatic.com is being accessed.

The funny thing is I blocked pubmatic.com and ads.pubmatic.com in my hosts file and it's still happening. It doesn't seem to happen in Chrome, though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shiftr182:
For me, I notice when I try to go back in internet explorer it takes like 15 clicks, so I actually use the mouse and click the tab on the top of the xda webpage. If I right click the back arrow for the browser it lists a bunch of ads, which explains why it takes so many clicks to get back. It is like this on every computer I have used xda on recently. Xda is the only site that I have this issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bimgirl:
Having the same problem accessing this site from my laptop as well ..... arrrrrgh, its also affecting transformer forums. Anyone found a way to fix this problem yet
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] .Arkham:
Blocking via hosts file doesn't appear to work, nor does blocking "ads.pubmatic.com" in Adblock Plus. After configuring the latter, the page still hangs, only this time on google-analytics.com, so now I'm not sure if it's pubmatic.com or something else.

I came across older (2008, 2009) results in Google reporting the same problem with pubmatic.com, so I really have no idea what's going on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bimgirl:
Ok .... I found the solution to this problem with the help of a member on another forum. What I had done wrong was I was not using the latest version of Firefox. Once I updated it both this forum and the other one now work brilliantly again on my laptop.

Hope this resolves your issue with logging into this great forum on your PC / Laptop
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] .Arkham:
Thanks for letting us know, that's good to know there's one way to fix it.

That's not an option for me, unfortunately. There are still add-ons that I can't use outside of FF 3.6x. I'd rather know what exactly is going on and fix it without updating to the FF-Version-of-the-Month.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bimgirl:
No problem, will continue to check back to see if you or someone else comes up with another option. I cleared caches, checked add-ons, firewalls rebooted routers and machines and had no luck. It works fine with Chrome as well.

Good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d12unk13astard:
Glad I wasn't the only one having this issue, also thanks bimgirl for finding a work around even though I too hate newer versions of Firefox past 3.6.1.6 I will try chrome out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] .Arkham:
No, it's definitely not you. I've come across several posts today from various other sites from people who have been experiencing this issue over the past 3-4 days.

I'm not sure if it's a coincidence, but many of them are running vBulletin. The issue seems to be restricted to Firefox.

Even after blocking a bunch of pubmatic.com sites in my hosts file, the issue is still happening, only the blank page hangs on www.google-analytics.com. I didn't want to go as far as blocking that, but I did anyway in my Hosts file with no success.

I came across this plug-in that I'm going to try out. This is an official Google addon that allows you to opt-out of google-analytics.com tracking.

http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

EDIT: No dice. I installed the addon and now the hanging blank page stops loading. It still jumps to the blank page.

One other comment I read suggested that the sites themselves should verify that they've put the Google Analytics code at the very bottom of their page templates where it belongs. But I would assume that the GA code was put in place a long time ago, and doubt that would be the issue here.

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

Success!

I added "www.google-analytics.com" to my hosts file, in addition to "google-analytics.com" and everything is fine now.

One thing I didn't try was to only use the Google opt-out addon, without adding any "google-analytics" entries to my hosts file.

If someone who prefers not to alter their hosts file wants to try it the addon-only way, please let us know if it works for you.

Thanks, folks!

When they had the hackers conference in Vegas the one that held out the longest was chrome but in the end they all got hacked ...chrome has been alot better than Firefox lately..... But it's a pain to install on Linux

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonen:
does anyone know how to get rid of / replace the starting boot animation for the vibrant?

the.. Vibrant with Samsung on the bottom of the black screen before the bootanimation.zip runs.. or if it is even possible to change
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merio90:
The boot.img with the vibrant logo cannot be replaced. It is possible on other devices but on the vibrant it is much more difficult. bootanimation.zip is much easier all you do is swap it out with another boot animation.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtone:
vibrant boot up sequence:

1. Samsung Vibrant screen <This cannot be changed>

2. Kernel Splash screen <Replaceable, either compile your own kernel or flash a kernel that already uses a custom image>

3. Bootanimation
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonen:
on that note... i recently flashed euphoria rc2.1 after being on bionix for over a year

i noticed that during boot, the samsung vibrant screen flashes and then displays twice. does that basically suggest that euphoria uses that same screen for their kernel portion?

is this part changeable/removable?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtone:
kiss kernels uses a custom one. the reason you're not seeing the custom splash is you're still on froyo bootloaders. flash a GB bootloader and you'll see it. and yes, the kernel splash is changeable.

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobshute:
And when you flash GB bootloaders you can choose from some different bootsplashes.

it goes...

1. boot splash (from bootloaders, normally the Vibrant/Samsung screen)

2. kernel splash (from kernel)

3. Boot animation (from Rom)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
That is sort of a subliminal "check" for me that everything is supposedly working correctly when I flash a different ROM or kernel. If I don't see one of these, I know something is about to go haywire.

I get the

1. GB bootloader splash -->Android with Adyscorpius (b/c that is the one I flashed)

2. SubZero kernel splash--->so I know which flavor kernel I am running and should be.

3. ROM Bootanimation---> I change these all the time. Sometimes I drop a new one in my wife's /data/local just to mess with her head.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobshute:
Yeah, me too. Plus whenever (like 5 times a day) I flash, I connect the phone to the PC and have ddms.bat running (from sdk). It lets me see if I'm bootlooping quickly and also shows when the phone has loaded everything in the dalvik and is ready to setup so I don't wait more seconds than needed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonen:
so the Vibrant/Samsung screen is equivalent to a bootloader??

are there any benefits to flashing the gb bootloaders other than changing that screen? im fairly familiar with changing bootanimation.zip's bc i have a touchpad as well but know nothing about bootloaders :/
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
The main Vibrant bootloader thread for reference can be found here. Now what's the benefit of GB bootloaders? Better button mapping IMO and they also fix issues with ICS roms (ie. CWR issues, et cetera).

Here's the two different boot splashes you can choose from, or at least what's offered in the thread I mentioned above:
