[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panagath:
Hello guys, I bought an HTC Desire Bravo from ebay. It is already S-OFF but the rom is not rooted. I want to either root the current rom or even better install runnyRom. I tried unrevoked and I get a "CID is missing" error. From what I read it has to do with my phone being already s-off.

Right now it has Android 2.2 running. So what can I do to install runny rom? Thanks in advance.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhillad:
U r already s-off... Hope u r sure about that... Coz that means u r already rooted...

To flash runny Rom u vll need a touch recovery.... I would recommend 4ext recovery.... Link in my signature...

Also partition ur sd card... 1gb should be enough... Do it by 4ext recovery...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
s-off and rooted are actually slightly different. you can be s-off but not rooted as stated in the OP

s-off fully disables nand security, rooted means you have root privileges

@panagath

do you have a custom recovery installed? (power off your phone, then power and vol-down, wait a little then select recovery).

if not install a recovery, i would recommend 4ext as above. flash the recovery.img through fastboot (google how to install drivers)

to root your current rom (if you want to install something like titanium backup and transfer apps across to new rom), flash the superuser zip in recovery from revolutionary page.

to flash a different rom, boot into recovery, wipe everything and flash the rom.zip. check if you require a different hboot and/or an ext partition on your sd card (backup everything to PC first... partition with 4ext or gparted).

[HTC One S] mviana:
My apologies if this is somewhere else here. I'm using a T-Mobile One S that is unlocked and rooted. I know that I can buy the Medialink from HTC and plug it into the TV. Is there another way that o can do this?

And since I'm asking, would I also be able to watch home videos shot drum from the phone this way too? Any help or pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks

If your TV supports DLNA you can just play it directly from the device. I've only tried to view some photos I've taken, but find it very slow when buffering og switching between pictures. They were approximately 2 MB big, but it took about 10-15 sec for each one to load... :confused:
[HTC One S] DownloaderZ:
Can you tell us dummies how to do that, is there a built in app, or do you use one from the Market?
[HTC One S] Souelle:
DLNA support is built in. In the Gallery app, locate the image or video you want to play, tap the "More" button and choose "Select player".

To use this function, both your DLNA-enabled TV and phone must be connected to the same network and your TV must have support for the codecs used by the media you are trying to play.

The HTC One S also supports MHL (HDMI out through the USB socket), so if you're looking for a wired solution or your TV is not DLNA-enabled, just pick up a MHL-HDMI cable from your favorite electronics retailer.
[HTC One S] mardon85:
This is what you're after:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kitvision-M...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1336495712&sr=1-3

Got one, works great. Can even play my games on the TV.
[HTC One S] Ready2Mosh:
In the US, I use monoprice.com, they have the adapter also.
[HTC One S] mardon85:
Yup should be fine, you just want a MHL adaptor. Basically works like an HDMI out on your PC so you can do everything you do on your phone on the screen of your TV. Not experienced any lag as yet and doesn't require any tricky set up.
[HTC One S] DownloaderZ:
excellent, thank you
[HTC One S] mviana:
Thanks for the responses everyone. I appreciate quick replies!

Well, after the OTA update, the DLNA speed has improved a lot!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] dawkon13:
Hi :(

I have problem:

-system not running (bootloop "Lenovo"- broken /system/bin)

-recovery not working (Android image and restart)

SOLUTION: Bootable SDcard :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dawkon13:
*deleted*
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
Sounds like your system is corrupt, and there is an update.zip left over from an OTA upgrade. When the stock recovery boots, it always installs update.zip then shuts down. Unfortunately the OTAs don't get deleted after installation, so if you ever get a problem, you can't enter recovery.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Download http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~grm08/ideapad/cwm-5.0.2.7-rev3-ideapad-a1.zip

2. Rename this file to update.zip, and copy it onto a micro SD card.

3. Boot up into recovery again. You'll see it do the same thing where it installs the update.zip and then shuts down, but this time it will install Clockworkmod Recovery.

4. Boot into recovery again. The Clockworkmod recovery won't automatically do an install then shutdown, you'll be given a menu instead.

5. First, try using the volume keys to scroll down to "wipe data/factory reset", and press the power key to select it. Try booting up normally again - this may have fixed your problem.

6. If this hasn't fixed the problem, get the 2643 zip file for your region from http://download.lenovo.com/slates/a1/OTA/ - copy this file on to your SD card, boot up into recovery, choose "install zip from SD card", then "choose zip from SD card" then choose the zip file that you just downloaded from Lenovo. It will install a fresh copy of the system, which should hopefully work after you reboot into the normal system.

If this doesn't fix it, or you get stuck, please post back with a description of what you tried and what happened.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
In this situation you wouldn't expect the recovery to "work" in the normal way. After you've installed the Clockworkmod update.zip you'll have a working recovery again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dawkon13:
ADB screen:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arechampions:
I have the same problem :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
You didn't mention here but I saw in another thread that you attempted to use the leaked ICS installer which has messed up your A1.

If that is what you did, then you can look at these instructions for producing a bootable SD card that will allow you to boot into clockworkmod recovery and flash an OTA to get everything back to stock.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
Yeah, you're going to have to install linux in a virtualbox. VFAT is built on top of the FAT filesystem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
If you read those instructions I gave, you'll see that there's a script called omap3-mkcard.sh that partitions and formats the SD card for you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dawkon13:
OK, thanks

:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
You need

sudo ./omap3-mkcard.sh mmcblk0

It looks like you're missing the dot and the slash. The script will also set the bootable flag.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
It didn't work. You're probably not in the same folder as the omap3-mkcard.sh script when you run that command. You need to be.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
Maybe you have a friend who is experienced with Linux who can help you run the script?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
If you set up an ssh server then maybe someone can ssh in remotely to help you make the SD card - if you get this up and working, I can log in and run the right commands to prepare the SD card, but I can't guarantee my availability for a particular time.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] unplugged138:
1、Make bootable sdcard without linux , download the tools leaked by lenovo : http://115.com/file/clykyncr

in the download page ,choose the "普通下载",unzip it with password:bbs.lenovomobile.com, run the "burnin1.exe" program,then it will fdisk and formate the sdcard,get a fat partition named "boot".

2、 download http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~grm08/ideapad/cwm-5.0.2.7-rev3-ideapad-a1.zip , unzip it 、 copy the recovery.ub file to the boot partition and rename the file to "recovery.img".

3、insert the sdcard to lepad A1 ,and try to boot A1 to CWM.

4、change the other sdcard with ROM ,flash the ROM by CWM ..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dawkon13:
Ok, i try it after school- 3PM GMT+2
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dawkon13:
Not working, give the instruction how to format SDcard.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dawkon13:
Good news :D

System read SD card (long start with SD) but recovery.img don't read

;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dawkon13:
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Yeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

I repaired my tablet

I prepared SDcard(without partition-8GB)-with partition="a sharing violation"

I run burnin1.exe , i choose CL1_1.09B_for_5 and i click "Burnin"

After preaparing SDcard i copied recovery.ub(recovery.img) to boot partition

I holded POWER and VOL- (very very very fast start),i entered to CWM :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Now i try installing new ROM :I

Very, very very thanks for gmarkall and unplugged138 :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dawkon13:
F*ck yeah!

I installed ICS for create partition table and later i flashed build 2525(27.02.2012) and... all working!!! Very very thanks all for helping!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tornol:
Dawkon, I'm lost. How do you prepared your SD card? or what kind of partition did you used?, I'm using same tool but I think something is missed. nunin.exe finish but it's unable to see the partition. do you use windows or linux to see the aprtiiton in order to paste the file?

Thank you in advance
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dawkon13:
1.Insert sdcard with partition

2. Delete partition via minitool partition wizard

3. Run program and re-insert sdcard

4.Click "Burn "
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tornol:
after delete partiionc program is unable to acces the microsd. ¬¬

If i perpare de sd as unformatted do the task but i cant see any file, appear to windows as no formatted, the step that i cant reach is paste recovery img. to disk.

how did you do it?

what operating system do you have?

Thank you again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dawkon13:
I have windows7 and my sdcard reader it's printer Brother DCP-J315W

SDcard without partition it's available for burnin1.exe :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tornol:
Yes, I do the charge, and show message, Burnin finished. But When I need to copy recovery.ub to disk is unable to find by operating system.

So here are 2 options the operating system is not FAT or the burnin1.exe is doing nothing.

paste image of result where i'm stuck.

My operating system is in Spanish:o

i50.tinypic.com/2i6jvwm.png

Are you using the files posted on this thread?

What step is wrong?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dawkon13:
Try again -after "burn is finished in My Computer " it's partition "boot "
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tornol:
Imposible, I'm not able to make bootable my microSD card. After burnin tool show message "burnin finished" the microsd card it show nothing.

I'm using USB adapter to conenct to the equipment, but nothing works.

Does it impact that my opperating system is not on english?.

Is there another way to make the microsd bootable? (apart of Virtual box, ubutntu install)

I had installed Ubuntu but the card is not able to mount, I open a terminal, acces as su, after, I gave mount command to detect devices but shows nothing.

If I use a Live CD do you think the process changes?

also I will get a external reader for microsd.

do you think the process could be different?

please any advice is welcome
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tornol:
Hi, Updating...

Burnin tool never worked.

So I looked for a different software in order to make booteable my micro sd

The good choices were

winimage and

win32diskimage.

Past this hell step with this programs, It could be possible initiate Cwm.

Thank you Dawkon...

Peace

Strugling to get back to CM7. No recovery

Here is what my situation is. I had CM7, I updated with the SlimDroid v4 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25783293&postcount=2/. I flashed the .zip from CWM after factory reset and wipe cache.

Everything went smooth, I used the a1 root and root it my phone again. There was a system update, I tried to update it from Seetings ->About -> Updates, it downloaded something, rebooted and went to CWM recovery...I rebooted - nothing happened. Than I flashed the updated.zip that it had downloaded on internal card...it gave me some kind of error and I gave up updating. Everything was working nice, however it turned out that the SlimDroid v4 does not have a chroot support, and I have installed ubuntu chroot which I use quite often and I like to keep around. Hence, I decided to wait for the CM9 and to go back to CM7. I flashed a recovery (from a nand backup in CWM) of the CM7 and of course everything messed up. I didn't know that ICS messes up the partition table and that I have to go back to stock ROM first.

I got to the lenovo logo bootloop problem, followed your instructions to create a bootable SD card. I wasn't sure where do I need to put the recovery.img - in the boot or the root partition. Initially I put it in the root partition but it also didn't work when I put it in the boot partition- I tried to run recovery with power + volume down button. I got the lenovo logo and then black screen. Then turned off and turned on the regular way - HURRAY it booted and loaded a fully recovered state with CM7 as it was before I flashed the SlimDroid. HOWEVER, the first think I noticed is the wifi wasn't working, it kept throwing me error when I tried to turn it on. Then I tried to switch to my old card (not the 2gb one I made bootable but 16gb one with all of my old files) and it did not read it. I put the CMW zip in the root of the 16gb card and renamed it to update.zip and tried to go into recovery again unsuccessfully - I got the picture of the droid with arrow taking him outside of the box. Then tried to just boot it normally - went back to the bootloop of the lenovo logo. Switched cards to the bootable one - no recovery - just black screen but if I just boots it normally it works. If I take the card out it doesn't. I suppose it can boot correctly only trough the sd card because the system is damaged but I cannot reinstall the CM7 Rom without recovery. I can use it for now...but I can't use my main 16gb card, I don't have wi-fi and I don't have CWM.

I tried to give you as detailed info as possible of what I did. I will really appreciate if you can give me some advice how to proceed to fix my tablet.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gzrecoil:
Can anyone comment on the sound quality using A2DP with the Motorola Atrix?

I am looking into buying a head unit that supports A2DP & AVRCP, but I have seen a lot of negative reviews of sound quality.

Does Atrix pass mp3 directly or does it convert to SBC? When converting to SBC, is it always compressed lower than MP3 quality?

Are there ways to avoid this compression?

Should I be looking at certain head units that support mp3 pass through as opposed to SBC only?

I want to buy a head unit for my car, but if it is going to be low sound quality I might as well go low end with a 3.5 mm jack hooked up to the car dock.

In some cases if I use some of these letters in a SMS there are lost of 100 or 90 characters in the count down from 160 chars and split the SMS before it’s necessary. Real strange haven’t note this till now!

Have to say I am now using v20Q (out now in Spain), the newest version of Ginger now.
