You have to try again to get it into download mode.

Use Odin for your device model and run it as administrator. If Kies is installed, kill all Kies processes by using Task Manager. Prepare the files under PDA etc. Pull out the battery and hold power button pressed for 1min. Then keep all buttons combo for download mode and insert the battery while pressed (needs some acrobacy skills). If the download mode starts, you can connect your phone and flash firmware again.

Hello all,

I need Help, My earpiece suddenly stop working. When i try to call i can't hear anything through the earpiece but speaker is working fine.

When i play music, i can hear music coming out of the earpiece. I was using LeeDroid Rom when this is happened and i did superwipe and flash Android Revolution HD but still no luck. I still can't hear any sound coming out of the earpiece during call.

Any Help really appreciated.

Thank you!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RRSoftware:
Can you try your earpiece on an other phone, perhaps it is defect....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph3nom:
it is an earpiece on the phone, not headset. so i cant get it out.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bentenuebe:
happened to me once. tried to flash new rom, tried new kernel, tried new radio. still earpiece not working. finally decided to buy an earpiece from ebay worth $1.xx + $3.xx for shipping. then watched the dis-assembly guide in youtube. working again after 15 minutes. lol :o
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RRSoftware:
The Music comes from the earpiece and of an other speaker(on the back of the phone)

Does it really use the earpiece?

Try reflashing it ROM and Radio...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph3nom:
Yup i can hear the music through the earpiece. Very weird.

i tried reflashing rom. wipe it all, still same problem.

it just happening in a sudden

Hi everyone, I've faced a big problem for installing ROM based on nAa Kernel,

actually I'm using PrimeHD Stock Kernel Version since my wifi only works for stock kernel...

After I tried MiniCM9 based on nAa Kernel, I can switch on the wifi,

but it becomes very unstable and reconnect for many time....:eek:

I can't download Apps from Google Play and even I can't connect my Google account...:crying:

I believe my bootloader is unlocked because of the result received from s1tool:rolleyes:

Is there any solution for this problem?

Ive always been running CM roms since I got the phone nearly two years ago, but recently have been reading too many good things about ICS roms. My phone has been laggy as of late, and honestly after nearly 2 years, I wanna see and try something new. I've been reading some stuff about updating 4EXT or something like that. Can someone link me or explain in great details how i do this? What is it? And if I do that, will i still be able to run my old CM rom if i decide the ICS roms arent for me? I dont want to be unable to roll back.

Whats the best ICS roms out there right now?

Many thanks!

SOLVED AFTER A STEP BY STEP INSTALLATION WITH KB!! MANY THANKS
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Depends on your definition of best, personally I like EliteMod ICS (in my signature) but you may want to try out Andromadus Mimicry 1.3.0, it's pretty nice out of the box and has a graphical installer (aroma).

Just be aware that due to the fact that the Desire-Z/G2 does not have an official ICS release, that some things such as hardware drivers have their limits.

1) Camera drivers are not fully available, so the camera won't function as well as it would have on a GB rom.

2) No Wireless-N, also due to drivers, but Wifi-B/G are available.

and a number of other smaller issues which are mentioned varying on the roms, but the two above are the most common complaints, something to keep in mind before you start updating the thread about lack of it.

4EXT Recovery is just another recovery, like ClockworkMod is another recovery.

I personally prefer 4EXT Touch Recovery ( http://www.4ext.net/ has the app to install it ), but both ClockworkMod (what you may have now) and 4EXT can create backups, and restore your backups to the phone (just make sure you do a factory-reset/wipe cache, when you're flashing a brand new rom on, and when you wish to restore a backup.)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
So i can flash ics roms with clock work mod and not use 4ext?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
You can, they're both recoveries and will both apply a rom zip. I just find 4EXT to have quite a bit more features that pertain to ICS (i.e.: the ability to convert some of your partitions from the older ext3 filesystem to the ext4 filesystem which is better, but not all roms support it, most ICS roms do though), as well as the ability to do tar-based backups (compresses, smaller backup size), and the paid version of the app lets you configure a number of settings in 4EXT (much like the paid version of Rom Manager).

Just don't flash roms via the app, always do that from the actual recovery, or you risk causing problems.

Generally speaking: Reboot into recovery (you can do this from the power menu in CM7.2)

1) Perform a backup of your currently installed Rom to the SD card

2) (toggle USB storage and copy over the rom zip if you haven't already done so)

3) Perform a Factory Reset/Wipe and wipe cache

4) Goto Apply zip from SD Card and select the new ROM

5) Flash any additional zips you want on top, google apps, wifi calling, etc (note the thread for any specifics, for example Mimicry doesn't come with Google Apps so need to flash the ICS google apps if you want them, where as EliteMod includes a custom set of google apps already)

6) reboot and enjoy.

If you decide you don't like it, just repeat the above steps, just do a restore at #4 and reboot.

Both of the ones I mentioned (mimicry, elitemod) by no means require a swap partition or sd-ext partition, but you can partition the card via either clockworkmod or 4EXT, just skip the sd-ext2 option (since elitemod doesn't support a secondary one [and not much point either). And don't set a sd-ext size less than 1.5GB (no sense in making it smaller than your /data partition).

For both though, skipping an SD swap is advised, I only have SD swap on mine cuz no other rom I know of supports dataswap and I'd rather have my SD Card partitioned already to test out other roms than to re-do the SD Card each time (since you gota make sure to back up the content of the SD Card to the PC). 4EXT though will let you repartition the SD card without erasing the FAT32 partition, where as clockworkmod will always wipe the whole card before repartitioning (it's just easier to partition from scratch though).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
Yeah the whole partition and swapping was the confusing part. But good to hear I don't have to do any of that. I did see the gapps zip included in the mimicry thread, but where can I find a wifi calling apk to install? Also +1 thanks to u for the detailed reply! Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
In Mimicry the Aroma installer will actually let you pick that option during the graphical install. It's one of those roms that presents you with a nice installation menu after you select the zip to be applied. Just bear in mind though you need the 26.13.04.19 radio in order to use the T-Mobile Wifi calling app (and course be on T-Mobile). EDIT If you're one of those people who end up getting no WIFI at all after flashing the Wifi calling app from the aroma installer and have the 26.13.04.19 radio, in the first post of the mimicry thread there's a mention of a Wifi-Fix app you can install that might be able to fix that.

For EliteMod ICS, you would apply it by downloading the zip in my signature (for the wifi calling) and flashing that after flashing the rom. But again, needs the 26.13.04.19 radio, as the app won't work with an old radio (26.03.*)

The thread on applying the radio is also linked from my signature , if you're on a T-Mobile G2, you can just grab the first 26.13.04.19 zip file, rename it PC10IMG.zip just like the instructions say there, put it on the SD Card, reboot into the boot loader and apply the radio. Also if you're planning on flashing either mimicry or Elitemod immediately after flashing the new radio, both roms already Clean your EFS partition for you when you install them in recovery, so you don't have to run the EFS wipe zip (something you normally need to flash in recovery after changing a radio).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wileykat:
KB suggested EliteMOD to me a few days ago,...... Gota say it is running vnice at the moment, highly recommend it. w/ SD EXT, no swap.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
I downloaded the zip file from the Andromadus thread, and proceeded to flash the ROM. It says the flash was successful, however upon rebooting, I would see the HTC screen but it would never make it to the boot animation. I would just get a black screen. I tried flashing through ClockWorldMod v5. I cleared all data and caches, and then flashed the ROM.. still not working?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
What's the exact details of your phone, i.e.: hboot information and radio version.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
I flashed the radio from your signature. Hboot information: 0.82.0000

blkjack said I needed to do a superwipe. If that is the case, how would I perform one?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
hboot in my signature is a 0.84.2000 which is a desire-z engineering hboot.

0.82.000 would be an S-ON hboot which you wouldn't be able to change much at all. (which would be odd if you managed to get the 26.13.04.19 radio flashed, while S-On since it wouldn't normally allow you to).

May want to reboot into the boot loader mode and verify all your hboot information.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
I flashed a radio in the past. And it clearly says I have S-OFF on the top. I had the (26.03.02.26) radio before. And it did successfully flash the radio linked from your signature. HBoot says 0.82.0000. Where to go now?

EDIT: I found this link (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044992) but dunno if this is outdated or not. If not, which of the three files do I want?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TpmKranz:
I think, the -=SuperWipeG2+=-.zip should be the right one, but as I'm not sure, I did a quick Google search for you and found this:

This one should definitely be the right one.

Besides that, the problem might also be a bad download, as your symptom fits a known issue in blk_jack's thread:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
I thought it was a bad download too, so I downloaded from one of the mirrors. Still the same problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TpmKranz:
So you did not check the MD5 hash?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
Im a bit of a noob and all of this wasnt around when I was flashing CM roms ages ago. How do I do that? Would that fix my issue??
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TpmKranz:
An MD5 hash is something like a fingerprint of a file and it was definitely there when you first flashed CyanogenMod ROMs. The MD5 hash/sum is used to compare two files because it is possible that a downloaded file is slightly different from the original file due to mistakes that could have happened during transfer. So "checking the MD5 hash" means using a program to calculate that "fingerprint" of your downloaded file and comparing it with the "fingerprint" mentioned in blk_jack's thread. If the file you have downloaded is slightly different, its MD5 hash will be different from the MD5 hash that it should have and thus will be unusable and lead to a phone being stuck at HTC boot logo.

By the way, downloading a file from two different mirrors doesn't exclude the risk of getting a corrupt file.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
I ran "md5 update.zip" from my Mac's desktop where the file is located. I was returned MD5 (update.zip) = 2a314e5f1361825c83a354aea38c6c4b .. which matches the md5sum of what was given. What next?

And I noticed you have the same H-Boot information that KB was talking about earlier, so I guess that can't be the problem either. Should I just try to Superwipe?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TpmKranz:
There are actually lots of programs to calculate an MD5 hash. If you are on Linux it usally is as easy as typing md5sum <path to file> in a shell and reading the output. If you are on Windows, I'd recommend a Google search for "md5 generator" or something like this. Maybe even your recovery is able to calculate a file's MD5 hash - I'm using 4EXT and it definitely is, though I don't know if ClockwordMod is.

You can't remedy a bad download except trying to download it again, hoping that the file will be transferred right.

Okay, I read that I should manually clear all the data and cache first and THEN run the superwipe, followed by installing the ROM right? And I will be downloaded from the thread I listed because I still have ext3 I guess and don't want to deal with a ext4 change right now.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TpmKranz:
If you use EdKeys' flashable zip, it clears data, cache and anything else in your phone by itself. So you should be alright with just flashing the superwipe and then flashing ROM.

What do you mean by "don't want to deal with a ext4 change right now"?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
4EXT is the name of the recovery.

ext4 is a file system

The two are not the same thing. Though 4EXT does support ext4 and has tools to do conversion, by no means requires a ext4 partition.

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
There's so many things going on about changing file types from ext3 to ext4. And how ext4 recovery can do that for you. I don't know if there will be any difficulties reverting back to CM7.2 if I do change the format. And whether there will be difficulties in having both ClockWorkMod and 4ext, but most importantly, I don't want to pay $2.80 for a different thing that does the same thing CWM does.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
4EXT is free, check 4ext.net but has a paid version of the app that can tweak it, just like how there is a paid version of rom control

Both recoveries restore backups to their original file system type. So if /system was ext3 it'll be restored as ext3 (least I know it will be in 4ext)

Ps: it does more than cwm does.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
It should not, but you may have to flash an update onto cn7.2 after you restore in order to get the matching ril/so files for the 26.13.04.19 radio.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
I refer to this (this one is specifically for CM7 based roms)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1335127

You would download the updater: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17578272/CM7_26.13.04.19radio_ril_gps_so_updater.zip

and the EFS wipe tool: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17578272/vision_wipe_efs-signed.zip

and you would flash those two after restoring Cyanogenmod 7.2

(PS I've never used the "SuperWipe" one as I've only ever bothered with the vision_wipe_efs one)

Doing so will update the libraries in cyanogenmod 7.2 to recognize and use the newer 26.13.04.19 radio you now have (since you used to have the old radio). Otherwise if you did a straight restore without patching it, you may find that you have no data connectivity on account of the radio mismatch.

Can you do us a favor, and reboot into the boot loader, and line by line, mention what your hboot is, just to be on the sure side.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Yea I don't think there's a problem with the radio either, I just wanted to confirm your setup. You'll still need to patch CM7.2 if you revert to the backup in order to use it with the new radio though (most ICS roms already support the new radio).

K, so both SHIP and S-OFF (just means you can't use fastboot, but can still flash new stuff via the PC10IMG.zip method if you ever needed to again).

For the sake of argument, lets say you already got your CM7.2 backed up, and have no other partitions on your SD card (since you never done it before, it's likely to assume you don't have a swap or sd-ext made).

Perform the Super Wipe, and double check with Factory Rest + Wipe Cache

If you did the mimicry one, most of the stuff you want would already be picked out in the installer (i.e.: radio version, t-mobile wifi calling, etc etc), and would just need to flash google apps after it's installed. And technically would just be safe to reboot after installation.

If you went the Elitemod ICS route

1) Flash EliteMod Rom zip

2) Flash T-Mobile Wifi Calling Zip (if you want it)

3) Flash the google talk or google gallery zip (again if you need em)

4) Reboot, fill out details, make it to home screen selection (should say "Reboot now")

5) reboot again and done.

Sigh... ran the other SuperWipe.. still nothing! I'm really interested in the Andromadus because it seems like it incorporated a lot of the CM stuff that I like.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TpmKranz:
So you flashed the ROM right after superwiping? Or did you factory reset in between?

As mentioned above, this might have restored the ext3 partitioning and blk_jack once stated that ext4 partitioning is required.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Most of the Andromadus roms do incorporate a lot of features similar to CM (different set up though, kinda like how Andromadus, Cyanogenmod, AOSP/AOKP and Sense are some of the major types of distributions)

So... step by step, what are you doing? Something like this?

Grab the Adromadus Mimicry version 1.1.3 from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1714187

plus the google apps zip for that version.

1) Factory Reset/Wipe, SuperWipe

2) Apply zip from card, select mimicry, starts the aroma installer.

3) make sure to select the 26.13.04.19 radio option

4) select whatever other features you'd like included

5) When that's done, flash the google apps zip

6) Reboot

Technically that should work fine, just may take a few minutes.

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

Though the aroma installer I *think* partitions /system and other partitions appropriately to ext4, and if he's using clockworkmod, it wouldn't have become an ext4 filesystem unless the rom did it via the installer.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
That is exactly what I did. I renamed the Mimicry ROM to update.zip and left the gapps file the same. Put them both on my microSD card, boot into recovery. I wiped the data & cache, ran SuperWipe, and then installed the MimiCry. Following a successful flash, I flashed the gapps.zip. Booted up, got past the HTC boot screen but I can never see a boot animation because it just goes black.
