[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FBA21:
1. True S-OFF is a permanent type of S-OFF. There are ways to do it temporarily. It looks like yours is perm S-OFF.

2. From the instructions that you followed, did you have to put a PC10IMG file onto the root of your SD card? If that file is still there, the bootloader will always look to that file and not allow anything else to be done.

3. Clockwork Mod will not show in an apps list. It replaces the recovery of your phone. It is not an app. As for ROM manager, I'm not sure what to tell you. Maybe if you can pull logs from your phone we can work on that.

4. Just because S-OFF shows up does not mean you are rooted. If you flashed the stock T-Mobile ROM then chances are you lost root privileges. You can do a quick check by looking in your app drawer for the "Superuser" app. If it is there, you are still rooted. If not, most likely you are not.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwoc:
Oh! your smart…Yes PC10IMG is still on SD card.

As is superuser.apk and clockworkmod and titamium backup

"Superuser" app is not in app drawer

how would i pull the logs
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
take the image off sd card and you will be allowed back into recovery, then do a full wipe and flash rom of choice via recovery
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwoc:
ok took off image and it allowed me into recovery now i have a cool picture of the phone with a red triangle and exclamation point

update: pulled battery turned it on using only power button goes to tmobile stock screen and works fine. do i need to re root and flash new rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
need to flash a custom recovery again via fastboot. get the .img from somewhere in xda (or google it)

put recovery.img in the same folder as fastboot.exe on computer

connect your phone via usb and boot into fastboot

open cmd on computer change directories to where fastboot and recvoery image are

type fastboot devices (just to make sure its working)

then type

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

then

fastboot reboot bootloader

now boot into recovery

now flash rom of choice via recovery
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwoc:
Would this be a good img?

Looks good to me
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwoc:
Hello, thanks for all the help.

Am I using ADB AND FASTBOOT or SDK to put recovery.img in the same folder as fastboot.exe on computer
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
sorry a bit confused on what you are asking

after downloading the sdk package you will find a folder probably under platform tools with adb and fastboot .exe in it

this is the folder you want the recovery image

this is also the folder you want to open cmd

right click in the folder and choose open comand here

then you should be ready to use fastboot

(another option is to change enviromenta variables so you dont need to worry about what folder fastboot is in in the future but not necessary right now)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
did you get the recovery in an .img or a .zip? if its zipped extracted it

alsom make sure it is named recovery.img

windows adds the file extention so you may just need to name it recovery
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwoc:
It came as a disk image file not zipped, until I changed the file to just recovery I got an error cannot load.

Once changed it loaded started recovery and failed.

Ive been reading about eng hboot as mine shows "s-off" not "eng s-off" but I don’t know how it applies to this.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
well you can try downloading superuser and rommanager from the market and see if you can install recovery that way. i think there is a busybox installer app in the market too but im not sure

you can also try with adb
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwoc:
Ok,

I used Root checker from the market and it said i do not have proper root access

downloaded terminal emulator from market $SU comes back SU not found. No # symbol

CPU tuner stated unusuable configuration

So I am thinking I lost Root

What method do u suggest to regain Root?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android_Monsters:
The method stickied in this forum.

I didn't use it. Cause I hate using abd for the g2. I used the no abd method. Took twice for it to take.

That was a while back, though.

What version of Android are you using?

Might want to ask on the g2 forum on irc
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
you know i reread this thread and i see your mistake was during your rooting process, well more than likely as you have the stock hboot and did you ever have a custom recovery?

i would just start the rooting process over, probably be the fastest way and no more trying to guess what to do next

make sure you follow steps exactly or you may brick your phone, if you get stuck and need help in real time log onto freenode and you will get amazing helpful people there
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zieloniak:
Hello,

How to test internal nonvolatile storage (filesystem space) accessible to running apps for being successfully writable and readable afterwards? And have some numerical results, not having to guess what is going on from behavioural events. I mean some already available app or some console command. I do not mean writing code myself.

This post is related to my other question posted here, but I decided to to separate this one for clarity.

I consider this not trivial (maybe in error) because it appears to me, that Android filesystem must be RAM cached and written back to NVram only when needed (which may in light use without power cycling not happen for months), and simple read and write to file does not reflect NVram state: in the moment of writing and reading back it occurs almost certainly to and from volatile RAM.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lujo_zgb:
Hi guys, I need your help :/

Been using android since 2.0, but now that my mom's phone is acting up strange, I have no clue how to solve this issues.

The phone has the standard and original 2.3.7 samsung rom with touchwiz.

The problems are the following:

- The phone does sometimes not accept calls, diverting the call to voicemail. In this case, the phone is powered on, showing full signal bars. Nothing unusual.

- Sometimes, a call cannot be placed. Signal is at full, but as soon as you try to make a call, the phone wont connect the call and the signal is lost immideately.

Only solution that I have been able to find is that to turn off, then turn on the phone.

- As the screen is small, I installed her Launcher 7 and added 3 widgets. A lockscreen widget that locks the screen, the circle battery widget and the simi clock widget (covering 2 tiles). The lockscreen widget is working great, but the circle battery widget keeps freezing up, as does the simi clock widget. The clock widget unfreezes when you get it in focus (when you show the tile, as it is covered 90% of the time due to the small display size), but the circle battery widget only unfreezes when you turn off and turn on the phone. After that, 20% of the battery is missing.

- Occasionaly, the battery wont charge, with the phone saying that it is charging on the lockscreen...

My hunch is that deep sleep is messed up, dissallowing the phone to wake up properly, freezing some of the services.

Does anybody have a other hunch, or even better, a solution?

As far as using custom roms, that is out of the question. The phone is company owned and it still has its guarantee.

Rooting might be an option though, but I would like to avoid it.

Thanks :)

I have recently upgraded my windows 7 to windows 8 and have had lots of problems since that. Firstly I can't download/install lang packs. My laptop is from germany and I don't know how but when I upgraded to W8 it automatically changed to German and it doesn't give me an option to download/install any other language. [Solved]

Secondly, I can't open any apps. When I click on one, it loads a screen saying "App Preview" and then comes back to the Start metro interface. How do I at least fix that?

[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
thanks for that insightful post mate, moving along....

ive had issues with apps not opening, but as already mentioned trying a couple more times usually works. Im not convinced about sticking with the upgrade, if you have the space id suggest a fresh install WITHOUT deleting the partitions, the install wizard will copy all your old windows folders to a new folder called Windows.old.

You can then work through it coping all your files to the new OS and delete it when your happy.

everything you need will likely be in windows.old\users\username\

another good place to hunt about is windows.old\programData\

before you try all that, this is going to sound stupid but have you tried turning off your computer?,

yesterday Windows had updated some files in the background (WMC) my Mail App was refusing to sync with no errors at all, when I shut down the computer it came up that it was installing updates so I turned off the PC at the wall for a few min and when it rebooted it worked perfectly... :)
[Windows 8 General] lornz87:
it's a common problem if you upgrade to win8.

Solutions:

1.) Do a clean install (no upgrade from win7 or other win8 beta)

2.) Fix it.

Save the below to a .reg file, execute it and restart your machine.

I have tried the regedit fix but that didn't work either.

I think it's a problem with the videocard driver, as when I upgraded, I couldn't open CCC anymore.

It seems I managed to get the graphics card driver to work, CCC is now opening but still I can't get the apps to load. What now?
[Windows 8 General] ShadowEO:
It's a common problem. I have trouble opening my apps too on multiple tries. It's not your display driver. Just keep opening the same app and eventually it will open.
[Windows 8 General] nkjskj.com:
download latest windows 8 developer preview it will work
[Windows 8 General] matabillions:
No, it won't. The fix is the change to the Registry.

Microsoft themselves have no clue about the issue - they'll tell you it's a graphics driver problem, but that's wrong.

If the first Registry fix doesn't work, try this one in addition to the first:

(it might break your installation!)

I dunno if this works but the thing that happened to you just happened to me after I disable Tablet PC feature.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lizziebetha:
Hey guys! I am loving this phone....did not know how much I would love it!! Anyways, I just wanted to check with other LTEvo owners and see if I'm the only one with this issue. I have had a lot of charging issues with the evo 4g in the past, so I'm not too happy with this and wanted to see if others are experiencing this issue.

I noticed that if I charge my phone laying on a flat service ( like the carpet, or counter) where the cord is not left hanging, it will not charge. I've been thinking of returning it for a new one if no one else has this issue. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NissanNick:
I am not have any problems at all.. I would return it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Doomstang:
I haven't had any issues...are you sure it's the phone and not just the cable? If it happens with multiple cables it's most likely the charging port. It's much easier to replace a cable though so I'd make sure to eliminate that as the possible problem first.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tkemack:
What cable are you using? I've went through several monoprice cables because of this. I'm now using cables from amazon basics, so far so good. I don't use stock because they are too short
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] masseyboy1990:
Yea I would check multiple cords and see if it's the cord you're using or the charger port. I had an issue with my Evo 4g where the port was physically separated from the motherboard, and I had to rely on external batteries and a battery charger to use my phone. I hope this issue doesn't crop up with the 4g LTE.

If it's the port, return that shiz and get a new one.
