[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
For future reference, I would avoid using Odin with the phone connected to a USB hub. It only adds a failure point in the connection. Given that you already have one bad USB port the way it sounds, odds are the other one is partially bad as well, given your issues with Odin.
[Verizon Droid Charge] n1ghtwish:
Well, that's why I tried without the hub. Oh well, it's done.

I'm not much of a computer person really, I only use this thing for breaking my phone :rolleyes:
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
That's what imnuts was saying, though. Using a hub adds a failure point, which is a bad thing, but you also said one of the USB ports on the laptop had already gone bad. Two side-by-side ports are typically linked, whether out at the ports or back at the controller. If one went bad, the other is also likely to not function properly. The main point is that in the future I would avoid flashing using that laptop all together.

Hi,

I'm a bit nervous about posting this, as I know I've asked the question before in a different thread, however I feel it's being lost in the excitement of everyone updating to 4.0, and rightly so...

But I I need a bit of help.

Today, when ICS became available, I downloaded it; naturally, and it downloaded fine... however when it came to install it; I'm hitting a brick wall.

It displays the phone shutting down, and then boots into the installation screen; (the one with the black screen, phone and the green arrows; and the progress bar etc) however when the progress bar fills about a third of the way, a red question mark appears where the green arrows were and it boots back into gingerbread.

I've carried out a factory reset on the phone, but it hasn't made a difference.

It's absolutely frustrating the hell out of me; and I've trawled this and other forums, but haven't found a resolution.

I'm S-OFF, via revolution, and have stock recovery.

My CID is HTC__001 and HBOOT is 1.17.1111

I've added a screenshot of the SW info.

Is there any way I could get a bit of help with this please???

I will try to return the favour, somehow.

Thanks in advance, folks
[HTC Sensation] killingflowers:
Anyone at all?
[HTC Sensation] SSKYY:
I would say its the Revolutionary S-OFF that won't works well with OTA updates.

So first remove the S-Off and then try again.
[HTC Sensation] killingflowers:
Tried removing the sd card... It needs it to install the update...

I thought it was down to the bootloader whether or not the ota worked.

Can anyone confirm this?
[HTC Sensation] usaff22:
Try flashing original HBOOT .nb0 files through adb and try again
[HTC Sensation] killingflowers:
I flashed the original stock recovery; the HBOOT is 1.17.1111; I thought this was the original... is it not?
[HTC Sensation] ardom:
I Would recommend flashing your stock ruu first then update OTA ICs afterwards. In that way you'll have stock hboot, recovery and rom. Don't worry about your s-off. Flashing stock ruu won't turn it to s-on. You'll lose root though.

Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio
[HTC Sensation] killingflowers:
I'm not fully rooted, though; only S-OFF via revo. As far as I know, I'm on the stock RUU... ain't I? I appreciate your help loads!

Here's a pic.
[HTC Sensation] D13H4RD:
I've just installed it with no problem whatsoever on my xe
[HTC Sensation] killingflowers:
After researching the bjaysus out of this; would I be right in saying that HBOOT 1.17.1111 (the one I have) is in fact, revolutions firmware, and 1.27.0000 is the stock version, and the reason why my update is ballsing up?? And if so, is there anyone able to help me change it back? I will buy pints for ya!

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] k3pp0:
well, again, did you load stock RUU and then update? why don't you directly flash ICS RUU? painless!
[HTC Sensation] sAmIzErE:
I need help!

Hi,

On my sensation XE that I have got onto s-off I haven't fully rooted it I don't think but its on s-off now and I have superuser access, I am living the the UK and ICS was recently released here so I downloaded it but as I went to install it It all went okay and 4EXT was saying it updated successfully but as my Phone rebooted it hung at the HTC bootscreen, I tried it twice just incase it was an error but it didnt work the second time either and each time it won't turn off so I have to take the battery out and restore it to a backup I previously made and was just wandering what I can do as I would like the ICS update.
[HTC Sensation] kareemsamman:
I advise NOT to update it. It is a very bad effort by HTC as Wi-Fi does not work anyomre (at least in most of Middle East) I've talked to HTC support and they replied with the usual (We are making a fix for [problem here] as quick as possible) clause....... ****heads.
[HTC Sensation] Peter1986:
All you need to do is restarting into bootloader, enter recovery, choose option to choose a file from SD and from there, install manually. No need to S-On.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Gonkulor:
I have read of the radio issues and various posts. I have had the annoying call quality since gingerbread update but after the recent ota all callers sound as if I'm hearing a Charlie brown teacher through a paper speaker that is blown. I can not understand any conversation. So, here is a question regarding boot updating and firmware. I have odin'd and Samsung factory restored at various times with various roms. how should I go about troubleshooting this? I will start buy going back to the earliest EE I have on file and test before going to the next factory update thru odin or whatever, but ate the pit files different? could a pit file make a difference?

thanks in advance

[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Are you sure your speaker isn't actually blown?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Gonkulor:
That is a distinct possibility but I will re pit restore and test. There are plenty of 800 #'s I can call to hear endless babble by a computer operator. I just can't believe I have an honest to goodness warranty claim when there have been so many others with issues. My issue is more severe from what all I have read. If after I test and I still have issue I'll just bring it in for replacement. No idea what I could have done to blow that speaker.

Thanks

Hi guys!

I really need your help!!!

I have a magic 32a New Radio and SPL, I tried to flash a 3.22 ROM (banana), but I didn't see it was for 3.22, so i flashed.

Now when I try to flash some other rom, it say installation complete, but after reboot it stay on logo and then reboot to recovery......what to do??

Thanks!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] badikhi:
Fulle wipe

what recovery do you use.

I guess clockswork...?

have you tried to do a full wipe before installing a new rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] daeron666:
thanks, I solved reflashing recovery via fastboot!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nolam20:
This is mainly for the users of my animations who were asking! - Have fun guys! :D

If you are rooted:

1. Download a root explorer app (ES File Explorer is suggested and free)

2. Enable root directory (in ES File Explorer hit menu, go to settings, and check "Up to Root", then go farther down and check "Root Explorer". Accept any Superuser requests.

3. Go back to your explorer and navigate to where you downloaded the "bootanimation.zip" file. Copy (or cut) it.

4. Navigate as far up as you can into your root directory, and then to /data/local/

5. Paste your "bootanimation.zip" file into /data/local/ (it MUST be named bootanimation.zip)

6. Reboot and enjoy!

Alternatively, you can put it in /system/media, HOWEVER, make sure you back up your stock bootanimation.zip (rename it to bootanimation.zip.bak or move it to your sdcard somewhere) in case something goes wrong.

If you are not rooted (or rooted, this method works with both)

**PC only! I'm not sure how to set the Max OSX terminal to accept "adb" commands by default!**

Setup:

1. Download the newest Android SDK

2. Click the start menu, right click "Computer", and click "Properties"

3. Click "Advanced System Settings" on the left (On Win7)

4. In the advanced tab, click "Environment Variables"

5. In the system variables window, find "Path", select it and click "edit"

6. At the end of the bottom line, paste:

For 64-bit users:

;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

For 32-bit users:

;C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

7. Click OK.

Process:

1. Plug in your device using a USB cable and enable USB Debugging (in the settings menu under development on your device)

2. Click the start menu, and either search for "cmd" or click run, and type "cmd.exe"

3. Navigate to the folder that you downloaded the bootanimation.zip file to using the following commands:

dir - lists all files in the directory stated
cd - changes directory to the given path. If "cd ..", it will navigate one folder backwards.

4. Use the following commands (your file must be named bootanimation.zip)

adb pull /data/local/bootanimation.zip C:\
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

NOTE: Alternatively for part 2 you can type "adb push ", open windows explorer, and drag the file infront of the command which will give you the path without having to type it in or navigate to it.

5. Be patient, when it is done it will say something like "X kb/s (X bytes) in X seconds"

6. You can test to see if you did it correctly by rebooting manually or entering

adb reboot

7. If you no longer want a custom bootanimation, just enter

adb pull /data/local/bootanimation.zip C:\

Remember to look in your main HDD directory and delete the bootanimation.zip file if it in fact did show up there for some reason.

Note: if it STILL does not revert to the stock boot animation after doing this step, type

adb shell

cd /data/local

rm bootanimation.zip

**If you have adb problems or questions, I'm not the one to ask, Google is ;)

Thank you for thanking me!

I thought it could not be done without a un-rooted Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rndmnss:
Thanks for this! Wasn't planning on rooting my Prime just yet and it's great that I can change the boot animation!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
If you do copy a bootanimation.zip to the data/local directory do you have to do anything to the Original bootanimation.zip in the system/media Directory?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nolam20:
Nope! It stays there safe and sound and will start playing again as soon as you remove the one from /data/local! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
Thanks. I had always just renamed my bootanimation.zip file and copied new one to the system/media directory but with these Bigger File size bootanimation.zip I was getting error that there not enough room to copy some of these bootanimation.zip files to the system/media directory.

Section 7 and down. I am not that dos smart to understand what you substitute in the cmd screen and I don't even know if my zip file is correct. I had it on my desktop then in c: adk\tool folder but I can't get any further than completing line 6 set up. Compressed with no compression using winzip.

And I really don't know if my txt file is correct?? My image size is 960 x 540

Using a Razr Maxx. site won't let me download the win zip file
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nolam20:
I'm not really sure how exactly I can help you, I'd go over the guide a few more times and google your problem.

I need specific problems like errors or what you don't understand.

Also, I don't know the size for a Droid Razr, but you can probably find it via a quick search.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] riorancho:
I get lost here

Process:

1. Plug in your device using a USB cable and enable USB Debugging (in the settings menu under development on your device) OK

2. Click the start menu, and either search for "cmd" or click run, and type "cmd.exe" OK

3. Navigate to the folder that you downloaded the bootanimation.zip file to using the following commands:

Code: LOST RIGHT HERE WITH THE PROPER COMMAND

dir - lists all files in the directory stated

cd - changes directory to the given path. If "cd ..", it will navigate one folder backwards.

what command do I put in in cmd at this point?

dir - lists all files in the directory stated

cd - changes directory to the given path. If "cd ..", it will navigate one folder backwards.

and then:

Use the following commands (your file must be named bootanimation.zip)

Code:

adb pull /data/local/bootanimation.zip C:\

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

what is this command above??

Where do I save my boot zip file to??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nolam20:
Ok, so, for example, if your file is in user/Fred/Documents and named bootanimation.zip, then you need to type:

cd users

then

cd Fred

then

documents

then type

adb pull /data/local/bootanimation.zip

Then

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] riorancho:
part of the problem may be that I have a mac and use windows under parellas so the files are not the same

in c: Users\DT\Documents DOCUMENTS IS WHERE ZIP FILE IS LOCATED

get error message: "adb" is not reconized as an internal or external command operabtle program or batch file
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nolam20:
Then you didn't follow steps 2-7 correctly.

2. Click the start menu, right click "Computer", and click "Properties"

3. Click "Advanced System Settings" on the left (On Win7)

4. In the advanced tab, click "Environment Variables"

5. In the system variables window, find "Path", select it and click "edit"

6. At the end of the bottom line, paste:

For 64-bit users:

Code:

;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

For 32-bit users:

Code:

7. Click OK.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nolam20:
That error will only happen if you did them incorrectly. Go back and try the opposite bit you originally tried, ie if you used the 64-bit code, try the 32-bit instead.

I tried both 32 and 64 and still get the same error message like before. I am in c:\Users\DT\Documents in the cmd box

I'm sorry but there's nothing more I can do for you than I've tried, if you follow the guide correctly then it should work perfectly on a native windows machine AND with a Transformer Prime tablet, perhaps it is your phone that is incompatible (unlikely but possible.)

/system/media modification problem

Hi Nolam

I am using Ganbarou edition of Cyna. 10.2. I prepared the "bootanimatin.zip" file to copy in the mention folders.

First of all, there is no /local folder in my /data.

Then, I went to replace new bootanimation file with the older version, but I couldn't modify the content of the folder, perhaps due to

Some permission issues. I either used ES file explorer or root ...app. Do you any idea how I may change the permission of the existing file, to be able to replace my boot animation?!
