[HTC One X] cosmicovertones:
I couldn't get it to charge much higher than was required to unlock etc.. so I needed to get CWM installed to get it to charge properly.

Also, I couldnt get the boot_signed.img to flash I assume cause the bootloader is locked.

I got the boot_signed.img by opening the RUU installer but not clicking next just having it open.

Then I got the temp folder on my pc and searched in it for zip files. Only 2 appeared. The rom was called "rom.zip"

I then copied this to my desktop and opened the zip. Then I was able to extract the boot_signed.img file to the fastboot folder on my pc and got it flashed across.

I think you're probably gonna have to unlock the bootloader to fix your problem.
[HTC One X] cfsmp3:
I got some help in IRC on the charge front. Indeed powering off the phone from the FASTBOOT menu *without* having a cable plugged in (otherwise the damn thing won't stay off) puts it in a chargeable state. What I did was plug it in the wall charger for a bit. Then they suggested that when the phone is off you can plug it to the PC and get battery status with adb, which I did - like this:

adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/status

adb server is out of date. killing...

* daemon started successfully *

Charging

adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity

30

[plugged again to wall charger for a while]

adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity

42

So it's looking good. I'll let it charge for a while and once it's done, relock (I just installed cwm again), and try RUU.

OK, I just did and saved the file somewhere in case it's needed.

We'll see :-)
[HTC One X] cosmicovertones:
for the RUU to run successfully you need to flash the stock recovery (to get rid of CWM) and lock the bootloader AFTER you've flashed the boot_signed.img file. This is to get the RUU to run on an unmodified phone.

Once you get that run you can re unlock, flash CWM and super user binaries if you want.

After this experience, I'll be checking and double checking the steps provided in future. What an ass I am!!! ha just goes to prove just cause I was successful on my old htc desire and the gf's wildfire it's no guarantee I know what I'm doing :rolleyes:

Also, I've now successfully installed Leedroid One Xtremem V5.1. Just after restoring my apps using titanium backup.

Let me know how you get on :)

EDIT: I think the reason I had to flash the boot_signed.img file is because I flashed the leedroid boot.img then realised my mistake of not having the rom to flash and to compound the issue relocked the bootloader and the low battery. You might be able to get away with charging and running your RUU. If that fails I would restore stock recovery, lock the bootloader and retry the RUU
[HTC One X] cfsmp3:
Nope :-) It just needs to be locked, but it was happy to run with cwm installed.

So I got it to work (back to square one, because I still need to change the ROM). I actually did more stuff than needed (because I was trying two approaches as the same time), but in summary:

- That glorious 5 line .bat file works, and allows the battery to charge, so reach a state where you can at least lock/unlock and flash. For me the battery changes from 'low charge' to 'good' at 3615mV.

- You can also turn the phone off from the service menu, but you have to be sure no cable is plugged, or it will turn itself back on in a couple seconds.

- The battery charges if the phone is off, using a wall charger.

- With the phone off, you can still plug in on a PC and find battery status (whether it's charging or not) and current charge (in %) with adb (another command line tool, like fastboot).

- With 30% or more of load, you can run RUU and get the phone back to factory state.

- You can't use a RUU for a different model, if your model is from Asia you need the Asian RUU, you can't just install a European one. You don't like a Vietnamise keyboard? Tough ****.

Anyway, since I know have all the tools and more confidence I'll just go ahead and try again. Starting will a full charge of course :-)
[HTC One X] cosmicovertones:
Awesome!! I'm glad you got it to work, and I hope this thread serves as some help for others.

The damn battery charge issue had me worried. That bat file is really a lifesaver!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N3utrin0:
Hi all, I was on an unrooted 2.3.3 standard rom, I then rooted, made a full backup and an apps backup using titanium. I then flashed to Ressurection Remix 1.8.1 and noticed that my contacts did not come back. I thought with a full backup and apps backup that the contacts would be backed up, but I am not sure If I have now lost them or what I can do to get them recovered, can anyone help ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N3utrin0:
If I recovered my full backup, would that have my contacts in it ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
If you had signed in using Google account, sign in again and you're contacts will be available.... Unless you set the option specific to phone only

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
One its wrong forum rules say Q&A for questions .

TB backs up your apps only .

Nandroid backup is full image of rom .

Kies backup of contacts or Google synced or restore from Sim card .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N3utrin0:
Yeah I don't use google for contacts.

It's bordering on a question and a request for assistance. I'm sure a moderator will move it if its in the wrong place.

TB makes a backup of apps, but I have noticed (after the event) that it will also backup contacts if you manually select it to. Why this isnt turned on by default is baffling.

The Nandroid backup is not a backup then, its a rom backup. That was my mistake for thinking it was a backup of the phone.

I dont use Kies, or google or store contacts on sim. I take it I have lost my contacts completely now then and no way of getting them back ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N3utrin0:
Would a data recovery program be able to read the phones internal memory as a drive ? You would think there is something it could recover ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
The file recovery program RECUVA free ware is worth a try or you could open a Nandroid backup .

Nandroid is an image of the phone rom in full including contacts .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N3utrin0:
thanks thats encouraging and good to know, I'll have a play around with it tonight when I get in from work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N3utrin0:
RECUVA wouldnt see the phone memory. Nandroid backup let me look at the backup that was made, I saw the contacts.apk but even after I saved it to a location (I did this several times) I went to the location and it didnt show. I even tried to install but it says there was a contacts list there and wouldnt let me overwrite.

I did a full recovery and now all my contacts are back. I will make several backups of these hehe. I don;t want that to happen again.

Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybertex1969:
You can use Titanium Backup to restore your contacts. You have to backup everything first (user applications and system data), flash your new ROM, reinstall TB.

At this point, you can restore your contacts: just open TB and search the backup list for something like "[Contacts....]......" with green title. Restore it (data only), reboot and you should see your contacts.

All the "[something]" items in green are settings and data. Contacts, wireless networks, bookmarks, and so on.

I use this procedure for every new ROM.

Only problems found: restoring SMS/MMS from GB to ICS doesn't work (for me, at least).

Good Luck
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darcyhebe:
You can recover lost contacts from Samsung Galaxy after rooting. To do this, connect your Galaxy phone to your laptop and use a Samsung Contact Recovery program to be able to view the deleted files in the task window. After this, click on the ones that you want to recover.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cobthaich:
Hi all,

I apologize as I am completely lost with this and hope someone can help me. I have searched the forums and nothing has answered this problem. I recently purchased an Arc S LT18A and am eagerly waiting to use it. It is a Rogers branded phone which is unlocked. Jinx was amazing and helped me perform the test point unlock. There are 4 main carriers here in Canada of which all work pretty much on similar bands when it comes to GSM phones. The arc s meets the standards required for all of them. Upon testing the phone it works / registers with Telus and Bell, connecting to both of their networks but when attempting to connect to the Fido network it states " This sim card cannot register with this network " I have tried multiple sim cards from Fido including the Fido store attempting to help me to no avail. I have also attended a Rogers store and the same thing happens, except when a rogers sim card is placed into the phone it says that it is an unregistered sim card, though it is a working sim card from rogers in their store. I have verified that the phone is not stolen as Rogers checked their database for me as I was afraid that was the issue and the IMEI number was blocked, rogers stated that everything is ok with the phone. Would anyone have any experience with this issue or know of anything I can do? Thanks guys.
[Motorola Droid 4] zeroktal:
Has anyone gotten this to work? I'm actually desperate enough to give out the u/p to one of my vpn routers for testing.

droid 4 .219 update. But this fails with droid 3, droid 4(.215) and droid 4(cm9/aokp).

Fails over wifi/4g/3g.

Fails with encryption on or off.

Fails with MTU of 1200 or 1500

It connects, and gets an IP. Sometimes you can ping from either server or phone to the other. This always dies after less than 2 minutes.

It dies immediately if you try to browse.

Routes stay the same on phone, and router says its connected, but no throughput.

The VPN works from both windows and Linux machines. With no issues. Just android phones.
[Motorola Droid 4] jnc8651:
Hmm, i am able to connect using the latest update. However i am not using DD-WRT as my vpn endpoint. i am using windows server 2008 as the endpoint and i am able to connect. I do know of i tether and then open an ssh connection it will drop. I think its due to verizon having a low tcp time out.

Are you able to tcpdump your wireless interface on your router to see if the phone is connecting out?
[Motorola Droid 4] Zuofu:
I noticed this too on many android phones. It seems like some versions of gingerbread break VPN support, while the latest (2.3.7) fixes it (I can't post links but search for "Droid phone PPTP VPN dying after a short while". Sadly our latest Droid 4 ROM is based off of 2.3.6.

sounds like u didn't low level format, to be honest. I less u specifically used a low level format tool or did this command from Linux:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TurboTronix:
You have to RMA it there is no other way, it is locked for good. I spoke with SanDisk and that's what they told me. It happens allot with the 32GB microSDs when used in cell phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pwnerman:
the same thing happened to me with my sandisk 32 gb class 4 card.

it wouldn't format or write any files to the card

but it would still read the files and copy them off the card without any problem

It was a very odd issue. Considering the card has a 5 year warranty i contacted sandisk and they said it was defective and they gave me a prepaid label to send it to them.

i told them it had personal info on the card so they said to snap it in half or drill a hole in it which i did. So I sent it in then the day after they got it they sent me a replacement. Why did you have to pay shipping? Everything was free for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brydiginte:
Hi, I´m in desperete need of help!!

About 4 weeks ago I rooted my device for the first time, I choose CM9 but it did not take long until I noticed that MIUI is the rom I want. Like 2 weeks ago I changed to MIUI v4 "SGS2-2.5.4" and I like it. The only problem that I´ve encountered [so far] is that my spotify is not working & it used to work on CM9. I installed the new Spotify beta but still nothing. I am able to logg in, I can search for music, add playlists etc, the issue is that im not able to play any music, its like the play button does not exist.

I´ve been searching for almost a week now without any luck, went to diffrent type of forums, asked friends and no anwser to be found. Ive tried re-installing my rom and wipeing data / catche and dalvik still notihing. (not necessarily in that order)

Anybody out there with problems similar to mine ? Thanks

I got a sgs2 btw.

Just switched to Verizon but am still extremely interested in the Galaxy Note. I'm hesitant to switch and purchase what seems like previous gen hardware as we have the SIII and the X out or releasing soon with quad cores or the S4 processor. Definitely interested in the larger screen though after playing with a Note.

What are likely competitors in the "phablet" field I should look forward to coming this summer, and which of these are viable alternatives to the Note?

Thoughts?

Here's a link referencing the upcoming HTC device on Verizon:

[General Topics] molesarecoming:
galaxy nexus has true hybrid mode, the screen does not matter at all. what you call "phablet" is a screen that is wasted, so badly wasted that you'd feel sad if you knew what could be possible. even on a small s2 hybrid mode would make more sense than what you have on your huge htc or note - because google's left a blank spot between tiny phone and huge tablet and forgot to fill it. manufacturers are blowing phones out with huge displays and aosp ics can never, ever use them. in fact you get silly one column-layouts (made for handsets like the htc wildfire or even smaller) and buttons made for bearpaws.

these are from nexus in hybrid mode. you cant use a screen better than this.

last feature, per-app-layoutmode where you can chose on the fly if you prefer your apps to be in tablet or mobile layout

The Padfone is a phone that becomes a tablet.It's not something in between.The idea is nice,but it's not what this thread is about. ;)

That aside,I really hope that other manufacturers start making "tablet docks" or something for their devices,although it's highly unlikely,as it would render their tablets useless.

I'm getting hard locks when using the latest AOKP. I'm going to try to use the 4-28-12 to see if the same issue occurs but what would cause a hard lock? It occurs frequently and seemingly randomly. I have to hold the power button down to reboot.

I've tried using different kernels as well (Neak and Siyah) but doesn't make a difference. I haven't made any special adjustments to the system voltage or other settings.

When doing installs I used Factory Wipe and cleared cashes and even used a kernel cleaning script. I don't get a hard lock or any total ROM freezes when using SHOstock2, just the latest AOKP. I'd much rather use AOKP over SHOstock2 because of the customization.

Any ideas? Anything I can try to do to test for causes? Any special apps I can run to get error logs? Thanks for your assistance.

Hey guys,

I'm in the process of trying to figure out why when I receive an SMS the Productivity Lock screen only displays the numbers, and not the name. I dont have multiple contacts, and all of the contacts were ported in via my google account.

I've tested out a few situations where I go into the contact and edit the number from the 1 (###) ###-#### to just ######### and it seems to be successful, but considering the amount of contacts I have to edit, this does not seem like something I want to be doing for the next 3 hours.

Hi guys,

i have been using Krarvind's Slim ICS 3.5 for about 10 days and I absolutely loved it. I have just updated to 3.6 which caused my phone to bootloop :(

So, after an hour or so of labouring and trying to work my way back in to it i'm now back on 3.5, but I have absolutely no signal/3G coverage. Wi-Fi works no problems, just no signal!

I went in to the APNs and there is nothing there - I tried to save a new APN and it wont let me - has anyone encountered this before?

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubadude:
Haven't experienced this myself but a few things come to mind...

First would be to check if you imei number correct? If not you would need to restore this from a backup.

If IMEI number appears correct then I would try flashing the modem again or a different modem. Modems found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1158783

If this doesn't work you can try flashing 3.5 base and essentials again.

If that doesn't work search the threads and google or hope someone else can give you an answer. If you don't find any help then as a last resort you can flash a stock rom with Odin although I'm sure there must be an easier way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilluli:
I've had a similar problem, the updating to 3.6 just went wrong. No bootloop but loads of FC.
