I can't believe a simple soft brick ran into so many pages.

To the other Members who posted solutions here, seriously, those were all terribly wrong & you confused the OP.

When you don't know, it's best not to provide wrong answers.

I don't mean to be rude, but your intervention is what made it so difficult.

It was a simple case of someone flashing an ICS ROM w/o fw & had S On.

The right solution is: flash GB ROM, & the boot.img from it. Or flash perfectly matching GB RUU.

As simple as that.

Do not take offence to this, I'm only advising you with an intent to make you realize that you shouldn't ever give suggestions that you'd never try on your own phone.

Don't get me wrong though, no disrespect meant.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Well when op don't listen to what we say.Posts do increase...

Well I do agree that.. Initial posts by some people are terribly wrong.. But when others came to understand the situation...(by my initial post).. The op still didnt followed the method that was suggested thus resulted in the post increase.. But the point here is he understood what he screwed and came out fine at the end :)

People do make mistakes.. No one knows everything by default..i hope the others did understand some of it.. By this experience

You try to help people base on what's on the screen. Sometimes not all the info is there, sometimes they ignore what they're told. You have to keep going until the problem is fixed :)
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
That's true ganeshp. I did not go through every single post, just the initial posts.

All I wanted to say is, if you aren't sure, why put someone else's phone at risk, that's all. :)

EDIT: I'm sorry I started this OT; it was unnecessary. Let's just forget about it and close it up. Sorry once again.

it basically just hides your taskbar and allows you to use gestures instead. i highly recommended this app. the controls may be confusing at first but once you get used to it i found that it's more convinient than the taskbar.

root is necessary, btw.

[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] EndlessDissent:
You need to install Busybox, open GMD, scroll down to the status bar toggle, and check the box to use Busybox

I tried this app to play GTA3 in true fullscreen mode, but it messed up the way the game calculated objects' placement. Cars started driving on the sidewalk, (all cars, not just one or two) and pedestrians walked in the street instead of on the sidewalk (as in all pedestrians were in the street, and sidewalks were empty except for cars). I would have written it off as stupid AI characters, but things like pedestrians in the street and cars on the sidewalk were constantly occurring a lot more than before I used GMD (I don't remember cars driving on the sidewalk at all pre-GMD). I uninstalled GMD, and the next couple times I played, I got similar behavior from the AI, but after a few more plays, the AI is mostly back to normal.

Okay, I have gotten my phone rooted, and am ready for a new ROM, but I am running into a roadblock- most ROMs seem to need you to be S-OFF to work. :-( Since half the threads still assume you can't root an S-ON Doubleshot, there isn't much discussion of which ROMs are appropriate.

Any suggestions of stable, mature ROMs that will work on an S-ON Doubleshot of these specifications?

hboot 1.45.0013

S-ON

Unlocked Bootloader

ClockworkMod Recovery working

Rooted

My specifics:

Currently running a slightly-cleaned-up version of stock, don't remember which link (sorry). I borked my base install, so until I find a true stock ROM or backup, staying with stock and just cleaning it up isn't an option.

Other than the fact that I prefer Go Launcher Ex to Sense, I really didn't mind the stock ROM. I suspect that I will enjoy greater speed with a new ROM, but my main concern is stability. I don't have a backup phone, so this one needs to work very well. I wouldn't mind some of the improvements in ICS, but I don't know how many of my preferred apps have updated for it, so sticking with GB seems safer.

I do want the Play Store rather than Google Market, which seems to be an issue for no reason I can find (even on the stock before I started all of this I had trouble getting it to update). Other than that, I just want stuff to work properly. I am willing and able to be a good error reporter, but I would prefer not to need that capability on a day-to-day basis.

~~~~~

Obviously, I will keep poking around on my own, but I figured asking publicly would be a good thing for others with the same limitation. :-)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
Try Bulletproof, I have been running it for a long time now, and I have found that everything works, and has way less issues than the stock rom. Just make sure you flash the kernel through fastboot before flashing the rom through recovery. Follow the directions in this thread. You can use any of our roms with this method, just gotta flash the kernel through fastboot first.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1508556

Edit: I know this works, because my boyfriend had to get an insurance replacement, and it had the new hboot. So my boyfriend is on the same hboot as you, unlocked, and S-on. He had me do this for him, because he kept having alot of random reboots on stock.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Firefairy:
Bulletproof vs. MikTouch

Thanks very much for the suggestion! Haven't read up on Bulletproof yet- will go to that thread next.

Have you tried MikTouch? I am basically reading the ROM threads that look likely, and it seems to be the more-updated version of Bulletproof. Long thread, and I'm just now getting near the end, but it seems likely to be okay. Not sure if it sounds better or not, just wondering if you had compared, or just like Bulletproof enough to want to stick with it. :-)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
I have tried alot of the ICS roms, and always found something that didn't work right. I have heard good things about Miktouch, but I haven't tried it, because it just seemed so similar to Bulletproof, and I haven't had any issues with Bulletproof yet. When I do change roms it will be to an ICS rom, but so far none of them are quite where I need them yet. I see that fantastic progress is being made with CM9 though, so that is what rom I have my eye one once all the wrinkles are ironed out.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
CM9 Alpha 4 works perfectly for me, but other people have reported bugs.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Cm9 and MikTouch are my dailys, just cause I won't run a year old shipped ROM.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I run the MikTouch 0.7 ROM with the Genius and other patches, and Strapped's 1.7GHz kernel. I have the phone running at 1.5GHz max, 192Mhz min and the smartassv2 governor. I'm getting a day+half normal usage on the stock original HTC battery! The ROM/Kernel combo is very smooth, and it has all the benefits of the latest 1.63.531.2 HTC ROM (which was a very nice improvement over the previous releases). I like a stock-based ROM simply because this phone is my ONLY phone, I need it to be rock-solid stable and everything to work as it should without any surprises or stand-on-your-head-with-finger-in-ear to get it to work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttaidapos:
Can anyone please shed some light to this mystery I'm experiencing...

Why do I get a GPS lock almost instantly on a stock GB rom vs. any ICS ROM out there? I use to get instant GPS lock at some point on MIUI but that also vanished. I've tested all my ROMS in the exact geographical location and I'm not talking about a 1 to 2min wait for a GPS lock, it's usually 5 to 10mins. AOSP flavors where towards the 5min mark and AOKP ROMs were closer to the 10min mark. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S I've tried editing the gps.config on the ICS ROMs with various versions posted in XDA and still had the same results.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aliamin86:
I am also having the same problem. Thanks for posting this issue
[T-Mobile LG G2x] j.d.r:
When you tried the ICS ROMs did you try them with the new baseband? I am running HFS 1.8 with the new 2012 BB and I get a really fast GPS lock. Maybe try that then test again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttaidapos:
I haven't tried ICS with the new BB. I've never had GPS lock issues though with stock ROMs with old or new BB.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aliamin86:
I unfortunately am so if anybody can help I would appreciate it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttaidapos:
What do you mean? That you've tried ICS with the new BB and still have issues?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aliamin86:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CosmicDan:
Either your memory card or device is damaged (i.e. has bad blocks), or your recovery has a bug. I would ask in the thread/forum for your specific device, to see if anyone else using the same version/type of recovery also has the problem.

if you are an advanced user, I could suggest a zero-fill on the NAND using dd. E.g:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=16 count=1 conv=fsync

...make sure you use the correct blockname for your device/partition though otherwise you could brick. And I don't know what buffersize the device can handle, halve it to 8 if it crashes out. Still, don't know if it's a problem with internal NAND or microSD. Or if your device even uses microSD. Again, best posting in your device forum.

Sent from my SGH-T989 with Cyanogenmod 7.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CosmicDan:
It could be, do you have an older or different microSD just to test on? Maybe you just need to format the SD. But trying a different one will help to single-out the problem. Sometimes microSD cards get errors and you can't avoid it, especially if you pull the battery out while using the phone or the phone crashes/reboots.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcticFish:
Well I have my old one I used, 256 mb SanDisk microsdcard, but it never had enough memory to back up completly

Sent from my SGH-T989 with Cyanogenmod 7.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CosmicDan:
Fair enough. Does your recovery have an "advanced backup" option? That way you could just chose to backup "cache" which should fit, then try restoring it.

It shouldn't, no. Usually the included memory card just has some included photo's and maybe some maps, nothing important.

Make sure you format it as FAT32, it should be the default. If you are formatting in the computer anyway.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcticFish:
What if I format my new sd card in Cwm how do I do that?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bugblatter:
Hi guys; I bought the appropriate lead last week but the HDMI-out isn't working.

I've tried the lead on a friend's Pad300 and it worked fine. I also tried someone else's lead on my Prime but got nothing.

As far as I can tell it's supposed to be a simple plug-it-in-and-it-mirrors kind of deal, which isn't working. Before I RMA it is there any setting that could be causing the issue?

Cheers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clenz:
Had the same issue with mine and had to RMA. If you do not get the hdmi notification when you plug it in you likely have a bad port. The good news is that RMA's have been trending better lately.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bugblatter:
Thanks clenz; yes there's no notification on the tablet.

Good to hear about the RMAs, although it's not going to be nice being without my favourite toy for a while!

On the plus side perhaps they'll replace it with the latest revision; I have the earliest one currently.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clenz:
They ended up replacing my motherboard. I had an early BCOKAS model. I still wasn't happy based on bt/wifi issues so ended up getting a refund, but the RMA process was not bad. I suggest you PM ASUS_USA and have him help with the process - it will go smoother.

Good luck

Hi,

I just wanted to ask - is there more simple way to downgrade from Lee HC 4.3 to Lee Gingerbread, than Globatron's guide (with all s-on and stuff) ?

Here's the Globatron litany : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358758 (third post)

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Havoc-X:
No, they use two different bootloaders, if you flash a GB rom it won't go past the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" start up animation. You are on S - OFF Honeycomb, this is the guide you looking for

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Havoc-X:
Yes, the PG41IMG.zip is a partial ROM, not a full one, it technically puts you on a Gingerbread Base, you may flash any rom (GB)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wojciechz:
Thank You - this is what I was just thinking of :)

Whether I could go from this PG41IMG.zip straight to Leedroid GB.

THx one more time.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wojciechz:
One little question more :)

I've flashed this PG41lIMG-3G.zip - is it still S-OFF when I did have HC Leedroid 4.3.0 previously ?

Because I want to go to Leedroid GB now and it states in the instruction that I have to have CWM + S-OFF in order to flash to Leedroid's GB.

Am I still S-OFF with this PG41lIMG-3g ROM?

regards :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Havoc-X:
Yes you are, you should be S-OFF GB with CWM. The downgrade guide i linked was to get you from HC CWM to GB CWM, after you flash the PG41IMG-3G.zip, you can boot into recovery and install LeeDroid GB directly, i did the exact thing. Before u flash though, do a factory wipe, wipe cache and dalvik cache (under advanced) otherwise you might get some forced closures.

hope this helps.

Linux is built for automation.. You could do something like

for a in `cat textfile.txt`; do adb shell rm -i $a; done

after its converted to to unix path's

rm -r to delete the directories if you are VERY sure

I couldn't figure out a good sed line to convert it with all those /'s

and be VERY careful automating rm's like this.. make a backup

this line will print instead of delete test it first.
