[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
is your phone recognised by 'fastboot devices'?

any back up made prior problems?

fastboot oem gencheckpt - this command will take you to recovery from fastboot usb plug screen

@ Martin:

don't worry about pb99xxx.xxx check everyphone does that approx. for 10 sec.

what recovery you have?

@ Jerome: post hboot version

@Both:

Tried different Roms? (it could be coincident as both of you running the same ROM)

best thing will be revert to stock via 2.29 RUU matching your phone (or WWE with goldcard) and test buttons
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martin Quinn:
Hi, I'm on clockworkmod v2.5.0.7 - couldn't tell you the exact version but it's quite recent. I've got a back-up of my sd card from about a week ago when I was using Mildwild before switching to Nick's phone.

Have copied my back-up to a spare sd card (that PB99IMG.zip file was still on there) and that let me get to recovery - the vol and power buttons started working.

I wiped everything on the phone, flashed mildwild and rebooted - but straight back to unresponsive fastboot and HBOOT is unresponsive too. I thought I was making progress!

Tried to flash 2.3.3 RUU??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R.ik:
Hi Martin,

First of all, the flashing up message and the searching for those files is normal. It scans the root of the sdcard for those filenames and flashes them if found. I remember I once flashed something in this way, but no idea why and what :P I do remember you need both the zip and corresponding nbh file. Do you think it's possible that your keys are physically broken?

Maybe you can flash recovery files using fastboot but I don't know if that'll help. Do you have fastboot via command line, or in your case terminal working? You might wanna check this out, don't know if it helps: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot

Also, trying a RUU flash might be a good idea too, they're links to them in one of the stickies.

EDIT: More on the scanning for zip and nbh files: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=880268
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martin Quinn:
Thanks everyone for all your help - I've been doing a lot of reading up!

I got the 2.3.3 RUU and extracted the rom, renamed it and flashed the zip file hia HBOOT (it would not work via windows, probably because my phone could not get past HBOOT) however, I got:

Main Version is older!

Update fail

then vol +/- to reboot (the vol buttons work for this)

I think my next port of call will be making a goldcard - would this allow me to 'update' to an older version of android?

Thanks,

Martin

So I don't think I can make goldcard from my device because I can't get a CID code out of it. However, I should be able to make one using my friend's Desire - hopefully this will work and I can downgrade to 2.3.3 - should be able to get my hands on that midweek so I'll keep you posted.

At least I'm reasonably confident that this will work (with a goldcard) because the phone appears to be capable of flashing PB99IMGs (as it at least tried to flash 2.3.3 but couldn't because it was an older version than that currently on the phone).

Fingers crossed!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Goldcard bypasses the Carrier ID check, which usually gets done when one flashes RUU.

If the RUU you want to flash is not older than your phones original state, you should be able to install nearly every RUU.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martin Quinn:
update

SO,

I got hold of my friend's working desire (running cyanogenmod) and booted it with a blank sd card in it. When I put this blank sd card into my desire, it booted up (although the back/search button still did not work). I could also reboot into clockworkmod recovery. However, when I then rebooted the device......... straight back to unresponsive fastboot.

However, I've set up the android sdk on my laptop and fastboot recognises my device, so at least I might be able to do something with it tomorrow when I'm less tired!

So, this means that the rom is OK, and recovery is on there. I think my first point of call might be reflashing hboot....

It has also just occurred to me that the back button might be stuck 'on' (ie always pressed) - this would explain why my phone always boots straight into fastboot when you press the power button.

UPDATE - yes, I can recreate my phone's problems on my friends' phone just by holding down the back button and keeping it pressed ie it boots into fastboot by default (with volume buttons unresponsive until i let go of the back button), and I can get it to boot into hboot by also holding vol- and back when powering on, and the vol buttons are then similarly unresponsive while the back button is down. I think I need to look into this!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right. So I took my phone apart using the guide at tjworld.net -blog -htc-desire-tear-down [if that's helpful for anyone - I can't post outside urls yet!]

and gave the buttons a good clean with Switch Cleaner from Maplins. Put it back together and it was the same.

So I went to fastboot, and fastboot reboot boots the phone perfectly (although the back/search buttons are still unresponsive).

I think that pretty much means the software is fine and I need to replace the buttons, so I've ordered some from ebay ('Genuine 4 Htc Desire G7 Keypad Membrane Flex Trackpad Bravo A8181 Keypad Uk' from Onlinemarket, £15).

Will give this a try when they turn up. In case I'm wrong, could there be any software problem causing this? I can flash a new hboot, recovery and ROM using fastboot so I should pretty much be able to replace all the software on the phone, right?

Cheers

more updates as they come in!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martin Quinn:
SOLVED

Replaced the button assembly and the phone boots as normal.

The trackpad doesn't work so I've ordered a new one of those too (only ~£5) - guess the whole lot got fried. I can live without a trackpad for a while though!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugarkryptonite:
Hey guys

I'm thinking about doing CM9 soon and I'm pretty sure I have the procedure down.

1) Another user informed me that the CM9 "Resurrection" edition contains an ICS bootloader, correct?

2) Is this a better bootloader than the old one? If so, why?

3) Would it be advantageous to just keep the ICS bootloader contained within when switching from ROM to ROM?

4) Let's say I was going to go CM9 and then wanted to return to 100% stock, would I need to flash the original bootloader or will keeping the ICS bootloader do anything?

5) Is the only difference between bootloaders the lack of usable jig in the newer ICS bootloader?

Thanks,

Elliott
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
1: you don't have to worry about that. Leave the boot loader alone.

2: if the ROM changes it let the ROM worry about it.

3: when you flash stock ROM you get boot loader too with that ROM.

4: only old GB boot loader works with jig. Even the new GB boot loaders don't work with jig.

5: I have used cm9 with GB and new ICS boot loader, works fine.

6: good thing with ICS boot loader is you can use triangle away.

Answers not according to your count.

Bleh...so this is what I'm doing:

Installed CFRoot for my phone, backed everything up with CWM and transferred it to my PC. I'm now in the process of trying to flash CM9 to my phone and Odin is stuck at data.img...what should I do?

:(

EDIT: In the end I turned off the phone and plugged in my USB cable to a different one on my computer and tried again...I finally got the Pass!

Anyway, I realized after that I totally forgot to make a backup of my SMS messages and a bunch of other stuff...

I did, however, copy all the files over from my phone onto my computer before installing CM9, and I also did a full backup with CWM. Is there any way to get my conversations back from either of those?

Also, how do I make it stop adding an icon on the home screen every time I download something?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Ptackley:
Or is that an Acer issue?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] cheeb:
Does kinda suck that you can't do that by default. If it's any consolation...why not do the memory swap from Crossix (if you haven't done so alreaedy)? I use a 32 gb with no issues at all on any rom...it takes all of two seconds...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Ptackley:
The mod by Crossix would be great but I'm not rooted and don't really have the confidence to try.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
I think the move to sdcard is a gingerbread thing. HC and ICS does not have this feature. You will have to root and use crossix mod for HC or the other ICS method derived from crossix mod.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] niteh@wk:
Maybe this feature is disabled in tablet versions of ICS? My Nexus S phone is running ICS and I still can move apps to sdcard (usb storage) which is the internal sdcard like what this tablet has.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Ptackley:
Maybe I will try it. I do read a lot, and it seems there are many different ways to root. But I also have spend time on the Droid Razr site so maybe I get confused between all the info between the two.

App to SD

I have been trying to use the mod by Crossix in order to move apps to my sd, but am so far unable to do so.

Using:

Acer Iconia A100

Android Version: 4.0.3

Kernel Version: 2.6.39.4-ICSOCTest+

Build Number: FLEX-100-REAPER-RF1-EXTREME-EDITION

I noticed that in the direction for installing the mod by Crossix, it shows the file as install_recovery.sh in the directions but is referenced as install-recovery.sh in a later/earlier post. The file I downloaded is the latter, install-recovery.sh

Someone please help?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
It's install-recovery.sh and sits in /system/etc with permissions of

XXX

XXX

XXO

Works fine for me on any rom on the acer, and I've tried them all.

The concept is it tricks the Acer rom, by design it runs this script every boot to replace the stock recovery if a non stock or outdated recovery is detected, crossix just uses that design to run the mount swap instead, but can be used on any ROM, like CM9, with some slight changes.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] nhedgpeth:
After checking, that file is not in my tab anywhere... I have an init.goldfish.sh in my /etc folder, but no install-recovery.sh

my init.goldfish.sh file permissions are:

RWE

xox

ooo

any suggestions? I'm down to 700mb of internal memory...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
The file has to be added on modded roms like flex reaper, its removed so recovery isn't overwritten.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] nhedgpeth:
Ahh, OK. So, copy & paste to root of internal storage, copy to /etc & rename, adjust permissions then reboot and wait for results...? Is there anything else? I did try to adjust permissions on the external SD, but can't. Also, when rebooting, I'm shutting down and then powering back on, is that right?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Shouldn't need to rename it, and yes it goes into /system/etc. You can just reboot, you don't need to power down. Apps like quick boot will let you reboot without powering down, no clue why Acer left that option off.

So, copy install-recovery.sh to /system/etc. Check and set permissions like I said before, X checked O not checked, save permissions, reboot. Once you're back up wait about 30-45 seconds then check storage for internal to show your new storage.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.

It worked!!!

Thanks for the help! renaming it was obviously my misstep in the process.

Hi,

My battery drops after every abnormal shut down, by pressing the power button for ~8 second. (I do this when the phone freeze.)

And when I turn my SGS2 on, some battery "disappear", sometimes 10%, sometimes 20%, or ever 50%.

For example, I have 90% of battery right before I shut it down (abnormal shut down) , and maybe I get only 50% of battery after I turn the phone on. It that possible that the battery drains 40% in 1 minute? Or it is normal because I shut it down improperly? (have a look of the attachment)

There is no problem if I reboot it normally.

I have two battery, having the same problem.

I face this issue in many ROMs, stock GB ROM, AOKP ROM, MIUI, etc.

I'm using Siyah Kernel 3.1.2 now.

Thanks for any help ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wezi:
I've heard a few users mention this battery drop and i've experienced it myself. It even happens sometimes if i restart my phone after flashing a mod or something.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yep, normal on the SGS2.

Just part of the battery weirdness as a result of that fuel gauge chip. Entropy512 has written many a post on the subject if you feel like searching/reading up on it. Nothing to be alarmed about tho, and nothing you can fix. Just make sure you've got plenty of battery left before you do a flash.

Hi all,

I tried using Sandvold's ICS ROM on my HTC Desire. It now gets stuck on the "Why So Serious" screen and doesn't boot. I've left it for 24 hours :(

This has happened before and i just cleaned all the caches and flash another ROM to the device.

Which rom did you flash to the Desire? Did you comply with all of its requirements?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
Tip1: Stay away from ROM Manager. You don't need it seriously. It's the leading case of bad breath for Desire users. (And you don't want that)

Tip2: You need to get that recovery working. Boot into HBOOT and plug it to your computer. It should go into fastboot usb mode. If it does, check the troubleshooting guide on my signature. Read item number 10 Flashing Custom Recovery. You should do fine with Method #2. That should hopefully help you get your phone back to working order.

sending 'recovery' (3782 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.551s]

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 0.551s]

booting...

OKAY [ 0.001s]

finished. total time: 0.552s

It stays like that for hours and when i first did it a month ago i thought it look less than an hour to reflash a recovery and a new ROM to my phone!

I'm going to try reflashing my device on a different computer to see if i've installed something that my have affected the connection between the two devices.
