The HTC means you are using does not give you S-OFF, it gives you an unlocked bootloader; if you want a fully rooted/S-OFF'd device, you need to follow the guide in the sticky of the development forum.

How do you get it out?

I get a piece or two of dust or debris every two weeks or so. It looks bad and it's hard to get out. :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
Honestly, I'm amazed that you did this. Those micro drilled holes are insanely small.

I wish I knew what to say to help. Maybe turn it with the grille facing down and using compressed air on one side to force it out?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jphilippon:
Fiddling around with some stuff I was able to get it out with play doh. :) a needle works too if you're careful!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
That was another Idea I had. Or silly putty.

..Needle? Scary..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danny39:
Yep it happened to me. Just took a needle to poke the debris and pulled it out. Did it for each hole to be safe, but be careful with the notification led hole.

I uninstalled the app Dialer in preference for my custom one but when I look in the Home-> Applications the icon still shows up. I am trying to pear down the Naked 2.3.4 ROM to even something smaller. I am trying to eliminate all things except our apps and a custom phone dialer. I am using a Motorola Droid X2 with the Naked 2.3.4 rom.
[General Questions and Answers] droid_ra:
Try touching the app and see what it does. Had one like that once and after I touched the icon, the device asked me if I wanted to remove it.

The last time something like this happened to me, I used Titanium Backup to get rid of it. Have you tried that?

If I get the Samsung Extended Battery and Cover for GSM Galaxy Nexus, can I use the standard battery with the extended battery cover?

I've seen some suggestions that it will work fine and some suggestions that the standard battery will be loose with the extended cover. I don't mind carrying a second battery, but carrying a second back cover would be a hassle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 4Pr3mier:
I sometimes use the stock battery with the extended battery cover. I just added a piece of foam to the back of the battery. I don't use NFC so I can't say how it would impacted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foosion:
Did the stock battery rattle around without a piece of foam?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ro_explorer:
I also use the original battery as a spare one with the extended cover. I never used any foam or paper or any filler material to compensate the thickness and there were no issues. the NFC is working excellent also.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Michealtbh:
Do third party cases fit over the extended back?

The "TPU S-line" and the "Momax iCase Pro"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndronePro:
Hello!

I'm a new android game developer. I am wondering what the best way is to store large amounts of constants. (i.e. weapon and armor stats.)

I understand there are a few ways I can do this:

1.) create all of the necessary values in the resources.

2.) use a SQLite Database.

3.) code the constants into the classes.

Are there any other (better) ways? If not which way is the most efficient?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] icarr4077:
No it doesn't, works flawlessly on my el29 (when I had it) and on ff18, my wife has the same phone el29 and it works great. I would recommend gameboid, it's the best one I found and tried several the play store and it's still the best. The apk might be hard to find so pm and I'll send you a dropbox link if you want.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickstuart:
Yeah, Gameboid is the way to go. And the apk shouldn't be that hard to find. Just google gameboid apk. For roms I would recommend coolrom.com, has a lot of good roms and they're easy to find.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0m1n0:
My daughter has a stock Thunderbolt, which has worked since Christmas. All of a sudden a couple weeks ago, she woke up and it was stuck in a boot loop on the HTC splash screen.

I'm still able to get into bootloader, but unable to do a factory reset, or flash a stock RUU. Cannot boot into (stock) recovery. As soon as it tries to load the recovery console, it starts the splash screen looping again. Seems like recovery is corrupt or something

I've tried some unbricking processes, but nothing has worked. If I could get adb to see it, I'd just root it and put cwm on it, but can't get that either.

Any help is very much appreciated. Verizon store said they can't flash a fresh recovery on it, or the latest RUU...

Nothing? No suggestions?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santod040:
Maybe something herehttp://androidforums.com/thunderbolt-all-things-root/449138-boot-loop.html will help...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trter10:
What won't work with the RUU?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
It possibly could be caused because of a corrupt sim card and/or a corrupt SD card. Try removing the SD card and see if it will load up. If still nothing, take it to Verizon for another sim card. If you go into a corporate store, they won't charge you for another sim.

Just a couple of my suggestions.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0m1n0:
I will try that link above.

I brought it into a privately owned verizon store on Thursday, explained to them what was going on, they said they have no idea, and I should bring it to a corporate store, so I did.

I told the guy exactly what was happening. He assumed a read a few things on the internet, so treated me like I've never used a phone before. I have had a G1, Evo, and Evo 3D...all rooted and mega customized, so not like this is my first attempt at using a smartphone.

I've tried booting without the sdcard, same thing. I've tried booting without a sim card, same thing. I tried with another verizon LTE sim card, same thing.

When I try to flash anything, I put the zip on the sdcard, power on to hboot, let it load the zip, then it does nothing, just sits at hboot. I scroll down to recovery to be able to select to restart or power down, press power, it goes to the white HTC splash screen, then the circular arrows above the phone, then to the red X, then back to HTC splash screen and boot loops the splash screen.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I can tell you your recovery is gone. Try downloading the hboot flashable cwm again and flash that in hboot. If you can get into recovery maybe you will be able to flash a rom again. You may also want to reformat your sd card or even try a different one.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0m1n0:
that's exactly what I told the verizon dude, that recovery is gone and all they need to do is flash it back on, he said that's not possible, handed the phone back to me and said "have a good day".

I knew it was a long shot when I went in there and had to tell them how to boot into hboot, and how to remove the battery.

Don't I have to be S-OFF to flash cwm? Remember, it's stock, unrooted, and S-ON
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trter10:
How didn't the ruu work?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0m1n0:
Because when hboot loaded it, which took a few minutes to load and verify, it then automatically went into recovery to actually flash it, which put it right back into the boot loop.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0m1n0:
Now that I think about it, it shouldn't have to go into recovery to flash it, it should have been just fine from hboot....but...after I flashed the RUU, it did reboot into recovery, and started the loop
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
So did you remember to clear cache and dalvik cache? That would put you in a boot loop every time.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trter10:
They weren't installing a rom
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0m1n0:
No...it's stock, stock recovery, stock rom, S-ON...she brought it to me in this condition. It's not a rooting gone wrong. If I could get the laptop to see it, I'd root the damn thing so I can get cwm on it.

When she brought it to me, it was in this exact state. First thing I tried was to boot into recovery, which didn't work. So I googled for 'thunderbolt boot loop' and started trying things.

Before I go any further, I'd like to thank everyone for their input and thoughts. She's 12, and I really don't want to have to buy her a new phone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trter10:
Try redownloading the ruu
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eksellent:
I have the exact same problem, I am using a custom rom, killasense.

It loads to HTC splash when I try to connect to computer or try to go into recovery from revolutionary. It says S-OFF on revolutionary, not sure what it means.

Please update if you find a solution, I am trying to do a factory reset, but cannot.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
If it says s off that means the phone has been rooted. You're running killasense which is a custom rom.. If you want to go back to stock simply download the most recent ruu, put it on the root of your sd card and rename the file to PG05img. Reboot into the bootloader press the power button to enter fast boot. It will ask you if you want to update select yes. After it completes make sure you rename the file so it doesn't try running the ruu every time you enter the bootloader. Also check the md5 before you try to run it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0m1n0:
I downloaded the 2.1 mecha ruu and tried to load it in hboot, and it said the existing Rom is older. So that mean I can't flash a newer ruu? Gotta be the same or older?

Since I don't have a thunderbolt, I'm not familiar with ruu versions, any way to tell in hboot so I can download the same or older?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eksellent:
I put a new rom file (BAMF SoaB) into the SD card and renamed it PG05img, went to Revolutionary it said loading PG05img, but after it loaded it did not show a yes or no prompt. It went back to home screen of revolutionary after saying "No image or wrong image", still stuck on boot loop splash screen.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trter10:
That means you need to redownload it.

Try this one http://db.tt/z7zbekNa
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eksellent:
Ok so I clicked yes and did the update with the rom you listed, before I pressed the power button to reboot at the end it said:

"Can not roll back hboot version"

Then I pressed power, the phone restarted and I am still inside of the loop, the splash screen is just restarting.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eksellent:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0m1n0:
I also downloaded this one and renamed it, put it on the sdcard, and hboot finally asked if I'd like to update. Fingers crossed...so far it updated bootloader, boot, recovery, system, splash1, userdata, MDM9k, TP, and currently working on radio
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0m1n0:

"Can not roll back hboot version"

Feb 23 2011,20: 42:55

On the top under HBOOT, [1] BOOTLOADER says Bypassed and [8] TP say Bypassed everything else has an OK

I am not sure why this problem randomly started happening, maybe after I dropped the phone because I was using the ROM for a few months with no issue.

When I press the power to restart I go back to the restarting HTC splash screen, any more suggestions?

EDIT: This is what I found on thunderbolt forum:

"Problem: I flashed the unsigned RUU above named "PG05IMG_MR1_upgrade.zip", but my phone still won't start. It just displays the white HTC screen and then briefly shows the second splash or animation screen and then immediately restarts. I've tried getting into Clockwork Recovery through HBOOT, but again, I just see Recovery briefly and then the phone reboots again.

Answer: It is possibly this may be a true brick caused by a hardware failure in your phone. The ongoing theory is that some phones have a defective emmc chip.

I also tried updating with PG05IMG_mr1_no_hboot and it was all OK with no cannot roll back message, but it still leaves me in the boot loop after it updated.

This seems bad, I really think it may be bricked.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trter10:
Yeah sounds like an emmc fail, cannot roll back hboot version is because you have the revolutionary hboot
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eksellent:
Ok, so I guess there's no hope, not sure what to do except take it to a Verizon store, I don't have insurance, maybe I still have a warranty.

Is there any way I can remove Revolutionary and S-OFF with the current state of the phone? And if not, will Verizon know to go into hboot and see Revolutionary. If they see it what will happen, will they be willing to help me?

I tried this guide (http://www.thunderboltforums.com/fo...ow-restore-stock-rooted-non-rooted-users.html), but it doesn't install I assume, because I still see Revolutionary.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trter10:
You would have to run a command so that the hboot can be overwritten, does the USB work?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eksellent:
It only works when it randomly finally turns on, this can take hours, I just tried updating firmware and obviously this was a mistake as it restarting and went back to rebooting. If/when I had usb working what would I do?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eksellent:
Now when I plug it in Windows tells me the USB is not recognized. Any fix to this?

I got it to turn on a few times but after I disconnected the USB it goes back to loop.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trter10:
Oh sorry I'm back

Have you installed the fastboot drivers?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eksellent:
Is that the driver in the Thunderbolt tool folder, because if so, then yes.

I am having almost the same problem as you are right now except my phone will not turn on at all it is stuck in the boot cycle to the first white screen with htc.

I finally got it to load with a stock unrooted rom yesterday. I am not sure of the exact build but I did notice it was version 2.2.1 When I started to set up my phone I ran a root checker and it says that it does not have root access. I still have revolutionary with s-off. While I was setting up my phone it ran an OTA update and when it went to load it got stuck in the loop again. I tried reinstalling the rom as PG05IMG but it would never load again. I am currently trying to install other stock unrooted roms to try and get the phone to load again but they all come back with hboot bypassed and one of the TP bypassed.

I'm actually surprised that no one caught this post.

When you download a rom you don't rename it and "update" or unzip the file's contents to the sdcard. You choose "install zip from sdcard" then you navigate through your SDCard for the rom that you want to flash.

That's pretty much how these phones work... "luck" and lots of it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcunited08:
Can you run either the dump or the official image from Google in the SDK emulator?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jptech:
I'm new to the SDK and I've been trying this as well.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
Not an answer to your question, but maybe useful anyway:

The SDK provides JB 4.1 in ARM EABI v7a System Image.

The SDK Platform provides basic APIs for your own code, and the Google APIs provide the google extensions.

The emulator is marginally adequate to test code that you write. I would never consider using it to see what the Nexus 7 will be like, even if you do get a system dump image to run. I will note I have never gotten the emulator to boot under Vista; I have to run it on a linux box under VM.

Even for your own applications, a real device hooked up through ADB is far preferable to emulation. You still get all the debugging goodness, but without the awful performance.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unlawful:
You won't be able to run either the dump (a system partition dump is pretty useless for the emulator anyway) nor the official image (requires grouper hardware) on the SDK emulator. The better way to go is just as the person above me has said, use the built-in images provided by Google/Android.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcunited08:
Thanks @Unlawful. I was wanting to try out some of the features so I guess I will have to wait until the code drops and I get an updated Rom...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unlawful:
When code drops, you can just go "lunch full-eng" and "make -j12" and voila a build of JB for the emulator ;). Though you won't have the Google Services Framework nor the APIs that come from it on it due to it being pure AOSP. Hopefully there'll be awesome development going on for the Nexus 7.
