Thank you - I am eng S_OFF

I am not sure I understand what you propose. Shall I extract the zip file from the RUU? What would the name be I should look for Can I fastboot a zip file, I thought it had to be an .img file?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
not actually. I think flashing a PD98IMG.zip file is better and safer. I am just saying that you should try using the correct RUU.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrylar:
but can I do that without using vol up?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
You can flash the RUU with the phone in fastboot. Plug it in (you should see fastboot USB in red), have the file in the PC, open a cmd session as admin and navigate to where the PD98IMG.zip file is and then type:

Fastboot oem rebootRUU (you should get a black screen with silver HTC)

Fastboot flash zip PD98IMG.zip (when you get the okay in the cmd screen, ignore the green bar in the phone)

Fastboot reboot

That will flash the file without using volume rocker. Hope it works...:cool:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrylar:
Thank you very much. I am unfortunately not home for the next days, but will try this which seems at the best solution.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Yeah, that should work...you can even boot into bootloader from command prompt.

If you need help, just PM me....:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrylar:
Success!I had to delete HTC sync to make get connection at the boot, but then everything went fine.

Thank you very much.

Hi guys. One simple question, is there a smart dock for the xperia s. Only heard of the ones for the P and Ion.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] unknown13x:
Sorry there isn't one.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Joshseadog:
Expansys sells a Kidigi Cover-Mate cradle. Not so much a smart dock but it will let you charge phone and be able to connect HDMI cable from phone to TV etc at the same time. Have not used it myself thinking about getting it though.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
I wonder why there's none for the xperia s. Is the P more of a multi media device than the S.

I don't understand the reasoning behind this at all.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] blauerschlumpf:
there is a difference between a LIVEDOCK and a SMARTDOCK ...

LIVEDOCK:

it is an universal cradle for all sony devices with an USB- and HDMI-OUT connection ... no matter where they are to find on your handset. (XPERIA S left-side USB and right-side HDMI)

SMARTDOCK:

is an accessory for the XPERIA P ... the reason why it is only for an XPERIA P is, because a XPERIA P have the USB- and HDMI-OUT on one side (left-side)... so you can easy plug it

Guys I want to flash my 1257-6758 Xperia S (.62) to .73 Since .73 is not available for Indian users I would like to know that .72 version of which country do i need to flash and i would also keep my warranty of my phone intact.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sikiduck:
That's up to you. I would recommend Norway generic fw :)

You wont loose your warrenty if you flash any of the available firmwares. Even apps, settings and so on will remain intact if u flash but make sure you uncheck "wipe data" in flashtool.

So I am writing this question on if you have bought an app on a phone like a my desire hd can you install the app for free on another phone with the same google account. Another question is if I buy a game on tegra zone like on a one x will I have to repurchase it again on another tegra device. They both should have a strict policy where you can redownload for free. What about apple store do you have to repay again for the same app if you have a app on iPad and iPhone but I'm sure apple said that the point of cloud service is when you download an app on one device it appears on the other.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] random_username_:
When you purchase an app on a google account it is linked to that account not the device so you can download it on any device you have signed into the account on its the same on ios with the iPhone and iPad I'm not too sure about tegrazone though.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .Wrighty:
I did a little searching around the forums and I've saw plenty other threads for diffferent phones having a similar problem, the only difference is that every other thread I've read, the rom has been verified, when I try to flash ANY rom on my device, I get the following from CWM:

[COLOR="Yellow"]-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Verifying update package...[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Red"]E:failed to verify whole-file signatue
E:signature verification failed[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Yellow"]Installation aborted.[/COLOR]

I've tried several different roms, with the exact same problem. The one I really want is XWLP8 CodecROM 5.5 by DSA.

EDIT: On top of the original problem, I have came across another. My phone doesn't recognize a USB connection, it doesn't recognize a charger connection either unless I switch it off then connect the charger then switch it on again. If I turn the phone off (without the charger plugged in) the charging icon comes up in the middle of the screen and so does a flashing yellow warning triangle with a smaller battery indicator of some sort, things just keep getting worse.

Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:

- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer

- Start ODIN

- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
is this happened after flashing the above said CF-root or before??

With wall charger same problem? or only with USB charger

try cleaning your micro USB port of the phone, changing USB cable, changing to another USB port of the PC

Nope, noticed the problems while trying to flash CF-Root, already tried cleaning and tried all 5 USB ports :(

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannstarr:
Would be grateful if someone could shed some light on this for me.

My situation is this:

1. I download a new ROM, or an updated version that I would like to try out.

2. I reboot in to recovery (CWM based recovery v5.0.2.7) and create a back-up.

3. I install new ROM, wiping where necessary, or keeping my data if an updated ROM dictates that I can.

4. The new install goes well, boots fine, and no problems etc....

5. I then decide, id like to go back to what I had before...

6. I reboot to recovery, select to restore, and choose my back-up that I had just made

7. Recovery fails stating "Error while restoring /system!

I then find myself not being able to reinstall my ROM, load any back-ups or anything, and my only way out is to go to download mode, and flash a ROM through odin.

What gives? and where am I going wrong?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
Is you Note running an ICS Rom now? What you are describing sounds very much what happens when you want to do a restore from our wonky ICS CWMR.

If yes, this is the way to get your restore to work:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markuzy:
I'm not sure, but I might have read on some issues with going from GB to ICS and then recovering back to GB.

Was that your scenario?

Sent from my GT-N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
Because CWMR always comes together with a specific kernel (CF--Root has standard CWMR, AbyssNote has Redpill Recovery etc.).

The only two ICS kernels we have ATM are CF-Root ones, hence the standard CWMR in all ICS Roms.

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

This little guide posted in the link above is the only way for you to successfully revert from ICS to GB. Every other scenario is hit-and-miss (more miss than hit, though).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MR.change:
Hmmmm ,and I was just wondering why every ICS revert to GB was done with abyssnote 3.9 kernel?

what I understood from your post above is that CWM recovery not compatible with ICS? And if so then is abyssnote the only kernel that contains red pill recovery?

one learns new things every day , that's the beauty of life.

+1

EDIT: what about mobile ODIN?

Can't we just flash a stock rooted GB ROM using it ,and afterwards boot to recovery and flash a nandroid restore

Will that work?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decat:
I'm having the same issue;

Some days ago I tried CM10 and Paranoid CM10, could flash them both with succes.

I had like 20 back up on my sd and wanted to revert back to Paranoid CM9 0.5.

While I was trying to restore I got the same error like in the OP.

Not one of all my back ups was usable to revert back.

So I searched and read a bit overhere and saw it necessary to use the approriate kernel to revert back.

If I understood right, when being on CM10 you first had to flash a CM9 kernel to restore a CM9 ROM.

I tried this but I never succeeded, no big harm anyway. I did a clean install and moved on.

Till today when I made a back up from my CM9 Paranoid CM9 0.5 ROM, with stock kernel.

The back up went fine and I flashed 0.4, I played a bit with 0.4, went back to recovery and tried to restore my latest back up, which again, did not succeed, same error like in OP.

With the first problem I understand there was issue between CM9 and CM10, but the second time I don't. I had a CM9 back up, flashed a CM9 ROM and tried to restore a CM9 ROM;

Does anyone know what could cause this problem ? Am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, i am kinda new here and i have some questions...

1. What is excly the basebands?? I have a gsm phone

2. A flash a kdz file to change fw i lose my waranty?

3. I can change kernel on the stock rom?

Thanks in advice!!!
[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
1. Google is your friend, for example here.

2. Only if something goes wrong and you are not able to complete the flashing process. Also make sure that you flash the correct kdz for your phone/country/operator. In any way, as the flashing thread is warning "You do this on your own risk!", since this is not the official LG firmware update method.
[LG Optimus 3D] Stunningkun:
basebands are similar to gsm drivers for mobile connectivity. firmware is a whole OS. You lose your warranty when rooting it. other than AOSP all custom roms are basically modified stock roms :D

So

first do this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1473781&highlight=kdz then http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1287236 and get kdz from here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=2 latest ones are v20x if you need to root v20x use this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1518771 then you would want CWM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1482713

If you new then you would be searching about ghost calls it seems latest v20e and v20g have no issue but they are chinese I had no issue with v20b as well.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cds80:
Hi guys,

Firstly I'll say that the boot loop isn't directly the issue. All I had to do was reset the user data and it fired straight up, but I don't want to lose my data so I'll explain what has happened and hopefully you can help me.

The boot loop was actually triggered by simply selecting a theme in MIUI, and because of this I had not backed up in CWM. I didn't think something I'd done so many times before would actually do this, and it caught me off guard.

After trying a few other things like clearing cache etc., it became clear that a user data reset was my only option. However, I decided to do a backup in CWM before performing this, on the possibility that I may be able to retrieve this data somehow afterwards.

So what I have now is a working phone and broken backup that when restored results in a boot loop. What I would like to know is if there is anything I can do with this backup to restore my settings, texts, app data etc. or if it's simply taking up space.

I have ADB installed and working, and out of interest I used shell to find out what was running whilst the system was caught in the boot loop. I forget the name now, but I recall there was a process that was using most of CPU. Killing it did nothing unfortunately and it fired straight up again. I must warn you that this is pretty much the extent of my knowledge with shell aside from navigating the file system.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
With Titanium Backup Pro (paid version) you can restore your apps using an option in that to extract from CWM backup...

If you are back to the same version of the MIUI rom you can try restoring system apps too one by one monitoring the issue....

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cds80:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
