How do you flash the stock recovery back and where did the recovery image come from?
[HTC Incredible S] keithkei:
I guess I had

The recovery image came from the 3.11 OTA package

I replaced the "recovery.xxx" file in the PXx32Xx.ZIP(cant rmb the name:)) with the one extracted from 3.11 OTA
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Ok, so you modified a PG32IMG.zip file and replaced the recovery.img file right?

Then you copied that file to our SD card and booted into HBOOT and that ran OK?

Where did the PG32IMG.zip file come from originally and what recovery image was in it?

I think you need to download the 3.09.708.2 RUU and use the recovery image from the ROM.zip file. You will need to unlock your bootloader again and then I would try flashing the recovery.img directly in FASTBOOT USB mode using the command

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then relock the bootloader and try installing the OTA again.
[HTC Incredible S] keithkei:
Oooo, let me try it

for unlocking the bootloader

can it be done using command now? or I hv to unlock through HTC again?

Thanks for the great help!
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Another thought. While you were rooted, did you delete any apps from the ROM? If so that is another reason why the OTA would show progress and then just stop.

If extracting the recovery.img from the RUU doesn't work, you will have to reinstall the RUU to go back to a complete stock ROM and then the OTA will install,

If you still have the unlock bin file, you can use it again.
[HTC Incredible S] keithkei:
Luckily I didn't remove any apps from the ROM (I tried but I cannot, weird)... :)

hope that I don't need to reinstall the RUU :(

Thanks!
[HTC Incredible S] thiagofbrito:
Where did you buy your phone? You should run proper RUU (according to phone's region) then you'll be stock and able to receive any OTA you might be prompted.
[HTC Incredible S] keithkei:
i bought it from my service provider and didn't flash any other ROM before, only the recovery, so I think its ok? :D
[HTC Incredible S] thiagofbrito:
You gonna need stock recovery to be able to receive OTA. So you better saying which country is it of your service provider to get proper stock recovery from RUU.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
He already has that information and there is an RUU available for his region. He is good to go.
[HTC Incredible S] keithkei:
I guess the version number did tell the region? i.e. HK :D

I don't hv time to try these days, maybe weekend ;)

Thanks to tpbklake

Thanks to thiagofbrito as well
[HTC Incredible S] keithkei:
after unlock+flash stock recovery+relock

I still cannot update for the last package...

seems I have to reinstall the RUU again...:eek:

searching the web now...
[HTC Incredible S] keithkei:
after running RUU

i finally can upgrade to 3.11.708.2....

now is just waiting for 4.0.4!!!

still no OTA in hk /sosad
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garfunkel99:
Hi All,

Has anyone tried the Amzer Shellster case (AMZ93090)? I ordered a unit to try it out and I love the belt clip part of the case. However, the part of the case that wraps around and protects the backside of the phone is slightly too small - instead of grasping firmly around both sides of the phone, one side is held on by the buttons instead.

Amzer is sending a replacement unit, so hopefully it is a one-off defect, but I'm curious to know if anyone else here has given this case a try.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fUr246:
i have a friend using this case on his i9100. says its great, so maybe that was a one off defect
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garfunkel99:
I received the replacement last week and it definitely fits better. I like how the case feels in my hand.

However, I was surprised to see that the amzer case does not wrap around the front edges of the phone. If I set the phone down with the screen facing downward the glass would be touching the table.

While waiting for the replacement I used the belt clip with a backside case from body glove. It is nothing special, but it does wrap around the front edges of the phone and it fits in the amzer holster.

I have had so many ROMS installed I can't recall which rom had the keyboard I am looking for as well as if anyone can point me in the right direction. This is what I am looking for:

The keyboard basically when typing words showed corrections for misspelled words and it would replace. But the keyboard also put a red line underneath it just like office in windows and u can come back later and touch the word with red line underneath and it give u suggestions and correct it.

Any ideas or suggestions thanks in advance.!!!!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falgun:
I tried swift before but it never put the red line underneath misspelled word.

It just makes it easier to find the misspelled word but I thank you for your suggestion maybe will try again in the meantime anyone else have a suggestion maybe it isn't a keyboard feature but feature in ICS and we can get an apk for it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTaxman:
Its the stock ics keyboard. But sorry, i don't have the apk.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falgun:
I tried some off the market that says stock but they don't do what i am looking for hmmm is it in any of the other ICS ROMS? i am using MIDTEAM 1.3 its not in there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tysonraylee:
its in stunner, i am using it currently
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falgun:
THATS RIGHT it is in stunner that is my last ROM now i remember. DOH i just tried extracting the APK file and installing it. it installs fine i select the keyboard in settings and go about trying it and it does not show the RED squiggly line.

Now i am confused. it did work on ICS Stunner but it is not working on MIDTEAM. doh this sucks any other suggestions or a good port i appreciate it thanks in advanc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vijai2011:

sorry my friend, i am very much a noob at android cant help you anymore than this
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falgun:
hmm will have to try cm9 anyway to get an APK of the keyboard from you?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falgun:
ok i tired the one in CM9 and all it did was crash the keyboard. apparently it is not compatible with it or not digitally signed for the note or something to that effect. if anyone has any ideas.

I did lots of googles searches and no help there. some people are saying that the keyboard latinime.apk and the latindictionary apk are not even the program that does the red line its something else anyone with any knowledge in this can help thanks???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vijai2011:
Sorry was busy for a while.Did you push it to system app and try???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falgun:
Yeah I tired copying the apk and push in the app folder through root explorer, i also tried installing it normally. Funny thing is they both work and gets the keyboard working fine but problem is the spell checking portion with the RED LINE which i am looking for does not work.

hmmmm weird spent couple hours last night trying to figure it out searched google no luck. is there any other ICS ROM out there besides stunner and CM9 that would have this working?

I want to stick with NOTE ROMS cause i use the S MEMO stuff a lot. Thanks in advance again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JCSands1109:
I may have unknowingly stumbled upon a fairly easy solution if you don't want the 2.3.5 OTA update, and don't want to get prompted or have it forced on you eventually. A few days ago, I installed the MOF 2.3.5.ish (locked) Leaked Update using Bootstrap. I had been running it for several days and had no complaints. In fact I really liked it. For some reason only beknownst to the beer I have been drinking all day, I decided to .sbf back to 198_6, unrooted and see if I get the OTA. I didn't, and I eventually contacted live chat. During the course of the conversation, my MEID was checked and according to their system, my phone was on the latest software (198_12) and thus couldn't be updated. My phone was fully stock on the 198_6 build, but she wasn't budging. I mentioned that I had flashed the stock .sbf and she suggested that might be the problem, and that it would void the warranty. Long story short, no OTA update, and no prompts for it. The bootloader is still unlockable if I desire. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bitbang3r:
Can I safely assume that someone has already tried to reflash their lobotomized Photon back back to 198_6 from 2.3.5 using RSDLite, and that as of now, 2.3.5-from-Moto is unfortunately a one-way ticket to hell?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Shad0wguy:
I thought the 2.3.5 update was still in soak test. That would explain why the rep said you were on the latest version.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JCSands1109:
No, the rep stated that the latest version was the _12 2.3.5 build. I also thought the soak test was still going, because the Sprint site still lists the _6 2.3.4 build as the latest version. I dunno; I guess at some point it'll show up on Sprint's site.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lost0138:
i remember the last ota when i went in and disabled my camera shutter sound i could not install the OTA.

i had to go back in and change the sound back to on in order to receive the update and install property then changed it back after.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bdkeadle:
I think this is a related thread - forgive me if I've hijacked it.

Motorola's site says the 45.4.12 is available for "ALL Motorola PHOTON 4G users" (as does a page on Sprint's site)

(a tried providing links, but as a new member here, I'm not allowed - geez)

Despite this information on Motorola's and Sprint's site and after hours of a course of days "arguing" with L2 support, they say my phone is current with "45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US".

Has anyone received 45.4.12 or now how to get to it? I've requested the 45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US file so I can just apply to my phone via RSD but it presumably does not exists and OTA is the only way to receive it, yet I can't get anyone at Motorola support to admit there's a more recent version available than 45.3.6. (even though I have a second photon that has 45.3.7!)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beverlyangie:
Dear all,

After reading countless threads over the last couple of days, I'm lost so looks like I have to post.

My questions is how can I change this:

1) Which is the Splash screen and which is the boot screen? Is the Splash screen the one with the "Samsung Galaxy Note GT N-7000" logo and the boot screen the one with the animated Samsung logo?

2) Which method is used to replace the Splash screen? Is it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136699&highlight=boot+splash+screen&pp=50 or this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1435766&highlight=stock+boot

3) Can be screen with the Samsung logo be replaced? From my research I take it there is no way to edit or create a QMG file except by replacing it with another QMG file. Is this correct?

4) Also to use any bootanimation.zip, I will have to flash a custom kernel that allows the usage of this file. It does not work on the stock kernel. Is this correct?

I'm running Rooted ICS 4.0.3 stock rom, kernel and recovery.

Thanks guys.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tknguyencsu:
Yes, the Splash screen the one with the "Samsung Galaxy Note GT N-7000" logo and

the boot screen is the one with the animated Samsung logo.

Use the method from http://xdaforums.com/show...h+screen&pp=50

to replace the splash screen.

Yes, the Samsung logo can be replaced by another QMG file.

Yes, you need custom rom to use bootanimation.zip.

Since you have a rooted SGN you can verify for yourself by replacing those files in the system/media folder.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] billy8362:
Do you have to load all the updates in a series or can you just load the lastest update on its own??:confused:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
Install the latest. Make sure to wipe data/cache if coming from a different rom.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Strouperman369:
And for future updates (like chrmhoffmann's new .04 or eyeballer's new nightly) just wipe cache and dalvik. It is a good idea to to do a complete wipe and a fresh install every once in a while with experimental builds. It cuts down on errors.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thiagodm:
Guys,

At currently stage, what are the pros and cons on using CM9 vs CM7.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
CM9 is a proper tablet optimized experience as it is based on Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, the version of android that is built for tablets and phones. CM7 is based on Android 2.3, Gingerbread, the version of android that was designed for phones, so its appearance is that of a bloated phone.

Downside of CM9, is that hardware acceleration is not working yet, so netflix does not work, HD youtube does not work and most higher end games do not work properly. Downside of CM7 is that you don't get the "true" tablet experience and any Honeycomb/ICS only apps will not be available to you.

The nice part is that its quite easy to try each. Make a backup of whatever you're running, flash the rom, test it out and see if it works for you. If not, move on to the next rom or restore your backup.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thiagodm:
That was the most complete answer i've received.

Thank You!

Now I want to switch rom's again but, when I plug my phone into my pc via usb I am not given any choices on my phone it automatically is going directly into charge and not giving me the option to use my phone as drive so that I can add new rom to my sd/card. How do I fix this? Please help!!!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MichaelHaley:
In an attempt to not step on the lawn, I am going to try and make my first post useful to other noobs, regardless of my own ability level.

I see that others have made a "my first phone" thread in other sections using search, and I did not notice one in this forum yet. I don't know if this post will make it past muster or not, or if it will be the same as other kinds of posts, but the way I see it, it would be rad if I came to xda/htc/attonex and found a post identical to this one, that had started a couple months ago. Alas, time travel isn't available.

My problem is that I am literally experiencing this phone as my first smartphone ever, and I am too ignorant to even know what a good question is. So I find myself with a quandary. On the one hand, I am tech savvy enough to know that my phone is capable of more than at&t/htc wants to let on, and I know that there is this sea of people that know a lot about this stuff. On the other hand, I don't even know what phones can really do, why I would want it to do those things, or how to go about learning the smart and safe way to do those things without fear of "bricking" my new toy.

It's really daunting to look at this forum for a noob. I need some good info on android as well as good info on my phone, and just browsing the forum for the last few days has led me to more questions and more complex questions before I have the basics, and I feel like that's going to get me in trouble here.

If people could do the following in response to this post: point me in the right direction for informative posts/websites/forums/etc on android, specifically basic OS functionality & rooting basics for people who do not understand/use linux; point me to informative beginner oriented (not just reviews or w/e, but basics) posts/websites/forums/etc on the at&t1x, specifically anything that is not on the htc site or the at&t site, which is basically my understanding level right now; if i ask stupid questions about your thought-out posts in here and i totally miss your point, please be patient with me; point me to apps and app stores, I have only used the play store - I know there is more out there, but freaked out about viruses and stuff.

I know I'm asking for a lot of hand-holding, but I promise that after the movie we can make out if you want. I'm not stupid, but I am certainly ignorant about androids. HALP.

You're still missing bradleyG's original point. If there are esoteric terms you don't understand, just Google them. This will help you out:

http://bit.ly/KSfCM7

Boom. That was easy.

Seriously, Google is your friend, as is the XDA search. You're not going to think of a question that hasn't already been answered at length on XDA. Maybe not for the One X, specifically, since the device is so new. But for general Android stuff, just doing a general search using the XDA function, of Googling will probably get you an answer within a few minutes. For that matter, just spend some time browsing through the General, and Q&A forums, and reading the threads that look of interest to you. In no time at all, you'll have some decent working knowledge. The learning curve may look intimidating from where you are. But don't worry, its really not that bad. Seriously, just a few hours of reading on XDA will probably put above the knowledge level of the majority of smartphone owners.

If you are truly stumped after searching and reading on your own, post a question in Q&A. But do your due diligence first. Simple reason for this is that the forum would become useless if it was clogged up by every single question that beginners think up.

And welcome to the club. The One X is a helluva first smartphone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MichaelHaley:
Ai ai ai. Thanks for the help dude, but my whole point is that I don't even know enough to know what kinds of questions I should be having. Once I get started, I can use forum searches and google well, so for specific questions I will need very little help. I'm just not coming up with any questions.

Picture me sitting there, staring at the phone, hoping it will do something, looking puzzled when it doesn't, and then start posting links. :P
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I see what you're saying. What you are asking for is really too broad a topic to write a guide or anything like that. As a start, just try looking through the threads in the various forums. Development subforum has mods (modifications) and stuff along those lines. The Themes and Apps subforum will give you some ideas on some cool apps and widgets. You'll quickly get a good idea of what possibilities are out there. And trust me, plenty of specific questions will pop up in your mind soon enough.

Since you are brand new to the smartphone world, apps is a good place to start. Just Google around for best Android apps and see what interests you. Even the Play Store has some issues with malware and other malicious software. But these are usually less popular apps, made by shady software developers. If you read up on best apps at reputable websites like PCMag, Gizmodi, CNET, you shouldn't go wrong. The more popular, tried and true apps tend to be very safe. Lots of the best functionality of smartphones is through apps, so this is a good place to start.

My advice would be to use the device for a while, and see what it can do running stock before you think about rooting and other mods. Unless you are looking at specific mods (removing bloatware or adding back some of the things that AT&T removed like FM radio and flashlight) you probably shouldn't be considering root just yet.

Android Central is a good website with lots of information that you should find interesting if this is your first android device. They have put together a really good android dictionary which is found here: http://www.androidcentral.com/dictionary

They also run an android a to z series on their blog which has a ton of info and goes a little more in depth than just giving definitions.
