[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
I believe the phone must have the primary sync relationship with the computer that you're trying to restore on. Sync the phone with the PC (and make it the primary PC) and then try copying in the restore point to the correct location (make sure it's the right location! You may need to close Zune before you can overwrite the folder that is automatically created when you sync the phone). Then, try restoring again. Ideally, you'd be able to Syn with Zune, copy over the restore point while Zune is running, and then go to Settings - Phone - Update and hit Restore.

For another way to restore the phone, try the following:

Disconnect from the PC and turn the phone off.

Press and hold the Camera button, then press Power. The phone should boot into the backup/update/recovery mode (mostly black and white).

On the PC, start Zune and copy the restore point. If you can't copy the restore point while Zune runs, close Zune, do the copy, and then start Zune again.

Connect the phone (still in recovery mode) to the PC (with Zune running) via USB.

Zune should prompt to restore the phone, tell it to do so.

Hi guys,

I am trying over 4 hours to flash a recovery image on my gt540. :eek:

I have installed a fastboot rom via kdz updater.

Then I turn on the device in fastboot mode to install the recovery using command prompt but in this stage my pc does not recognize the phone. It says "waiting for device".

I have tried every driver I found, but I cannot make it work. :confused:

I am running windows 7 x64.

Can anybody help me? I am confused, I don't know what to do.
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
hmm looks like you dont have the drivers installed. im also using windows 7 x64. i got my drivers by plunging in the phone and waiting for the computer to recognize it and install the drivers from windows update. You can try rebooting the PC then change USB ports. Give each port at most 5 mins to try recognize the phone if it fails then change ports sooner or later the computer will get the drivers :D

the driver for fastboot is called googlee fastboot interface or something liek that, maybe you can try these http://dottech.org/android/26188/usb-adb-and-fastboot-drivers-for-windows-for-all-android-phones/
[GT540 Optimus General] petran_7:
Man you are great! I was searching all day for this!

Thank you very very much!! I managed to flash a good rom!

Thanks again!
[Nokia Lumia 800] jrdatrackstar:
I forced 8107 onto my T-Mobile Lumia 710, and the light sensor doesn't seem to be working (screen doesn't brighten in direct sunlight), so I wanted to restore to my old point. The problem was, the only restore point I had was on my work machine. So I remoted in, downloaded DropBox to my work machine, made a zip of the backup from my work machine, and uploaded the zip to my DropBox account. When I moved the backup zip to my user/AppData/Microsoft/Local/... on my laptop Zune didn't recognize it as a backup and kept deleting it.

So I figured I would just wait and come to work to restore my backup and now my backup from WORK is deleted as well. I still have the file on my laptop at home, so at least I still have it.

My question is, is there a way I can use my restore point, or is there a flashable 7740 Stock ROM for the T-Mobile Lumia 710 I can use?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Briefcase:
Stock roms can be optained through Nokia Data Package Manager/Navifirm, to get the ROM for your specific device lookup your product code (found on the back side of the sim card holder in your phone) in those tools. Flashing can then be done with Nokia Care Suite. Search this forum for instructions, not that hard to find.
[Nokia Lumia 800] jrdatrackstar:
I would do this if I could, but Nokia Care Suite will not install on 64 bit machines, and will not install on my wife's 32-bit XP laptop either. If I could do this I would've debranded this phone for Zune to recognize my phone to push the true updates to it.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
Recently got the new splashtop thd and it looks great, just a question though - How can I connect to guests instead of hosts?

I have 2 virtual machines I'm interested in connecting to for my forensics coursework. One is a win7 vm and another is a backtrack vm. Both are running on a Win7 host that I have no problem connecting to.

I've tried to setup various NAT/Bridge settings and I still can't see the exact network address of the VM's on my tablet (I've gone as far as mac spoofing and assigning static IPs).

I do get some vmnet options showing up - but none of them are the correct address.

How can I connect to either of my VM's and if I wanted to remotely connect to them is a VPN the best route to take?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] namebrandon:
I haven't tried your specific setup, but as a work-around until you figure it out, you can remote into the host, then access the guest (either locally, or remotely)..

For example, I can use splastop to remote into my laptop at home. I have another box running an OS X VM that I connect to from my laptop via VNC. So I just remote into the laptop (via splashstop), and from the laptop, fire up VNC to get to the OS X guest on the other box.

It's an extra step, so it's not pretty, but maybe it'll help in the mean time.

My next step was to install the splashtop client on the OS X guest, but like I said, I haven't done it yet. I'll let you know if I have any success.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Try setting up internet discovery on the VM and leaving it connected. Then let splash top figure out how best to connect to it lol. Good luck!

Noob guide: Light theming

just for addition...this guide is only about change minor aspect in your theme. please don't expect any hard modification. we'll only change some of the picture used by the app.

what you need:

1. 7zip

2. any graphic editor program

3. systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk

the steps:

1. extract both apk files

2. open /res/drawable-ldpi. you'll see the graphic files used by the app.

3. replace any graphic files with yours. please make sure the resolution size and the name are same.

4. open the apk file. right klik>7zip>open archive

5. drag n drop /res folder (from the extracted one) to 7zip.

6. push it to your rom

7. cross your finger...reboot your device.

NOTE:

- don't forget to make backup :D

- you may use the files attached in this post to push the file into your ROM. put systemUI in app and framework in framework.

here are some pic from my customized rom. its an odexed rom with a slight customized repencis v.2.5 theme.

the launcher is downloadable here

Very useful thread.Thanks

How can i confirm my init.d is working?is there any specific command for terminal emu :

su

init.d check (myb?) or with init.rc etc installed would be enough to prove it is working?

previously i tried init d-autorun-stock to my stock rom but not confident with tht method.Found [Script] init.d for STOCK ROM thread n member report its worked.

Thanks in adv.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
thats a good question. please note that some of init.d script doesn't work in our device even if the script is running. stamatis's battery n performance script is one example. because of some script in init.rc (in kernel) it never change the value for RAM setting. to check the init.d script you may make a new file in init.d script. name it stest, put these script

\system\etc\init.d\99test

#!/system/bin/sh

touch /data/local/tmp/init.d_log_test.txt

echo "done" >> /data/local/tmp/init.d_log_test.txt

these script is made by doky73. if the init.d script works, you'll find 'init.d_log_test.txt' file in /data/local/tmp/ . init.d scipts need busybox don't forget to install it in your device :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Harsh06:
Kurotsugi

What is the correct permission for 99test?is it same like the others=777?

no problem if i change through root explore right?my device deny the latest version

of busybox 19.4 is this due to old su binary?19.3 will do right?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
yup...thats fine. as long as the system could read it, the script will run at boot (if only it really support init.d scipt). any busybox version is OK as long as you have the binary files needed (in this case echo and touch). in my past experience, only vivek's kernel proved to support init.d script. I forgot the version. but its the last version without CWM integration.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Harsh06:
Kurotsugi..Thank u so much.I agree with u.Init.d script will only work with some kernel only.It is kernel dependent.My 1st attempt with stock kernel failed then

The default value of libs/egl/egl.conf is - 0 1 hgl

1 : hardware rendering

when i modify it to - 1 1 hgl to force hardware rendering , i end up with boot loops ! Why ?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
that file only exist for adreno. you're using the wrong code. there are two lines in that file. the first one is to activate software rendering, the second one is for hardware rendering. the correct configuration should be

0 0

0 1

you'll also need to delete the lib file to make sure that your device only run with hw.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] nikufellow:
Thanks but we also have that file ! And there is only 1 line in it : 0 1 hgl !

when i searched xda i found that the broadcom galaxy ace also has same file with 0 1 hgl .

While on most other devices , the values are two line like you described :

0 0 android

0 1 hgl

Can't understand :(
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
if you only have one line it means you should not modify it. 0 1 hgl means your device will only runs with hw

does it takes space as system partition and acts as a system app?

If the kernel installation file uses aroma installer (like savie#73REV), which file/s do i get from the kernel.zip that i should place/replace in the custom rom folder? thanks :)

ok. But in rev73, the governors and I/O schedulers were in a folder... how do i do then? even bmunlock was in the folder; and ther was no boot.img, but an RC2_boot.img in the folder..
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Deadly:
Best thing to do since you are new.. copy all folders exactly from that zip to your rom zip. Then copy updater-script contents of savie zip to your updater-script after your own lines in updater-script.. or if it is inside system folder. Just copy the folders as it is.. and rename rcboot.img file to boot.img and you should take a look at edify script thread by kurotsugi. Get it from his profile.

if yall wanna learn how to build custom roms and kerenls then i cant stress enough that you have to learn java and c+...tutorials are good but tend to leave you dependant on someone else's instruction...the best way is to just dive in, break it, and figure out how to fix it...the same way i learned....
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
you'll need to modify the framework.apk to add more languange on the system. the sms dictionary is depends on the keyboard. you'll need to modify the apk and add the required files by yourself. swapping the keyboard apk with the one from stock rom designed for your country is easy but unfortunately I forgot where samsung put the dictionary files. you'll need to find out by yourself.
