[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
I think your best option is to just run the ruu http://d-h.st/7UC
[HTC Incredible S] benutzer001:
ok i have a question: im downloading the exe right now. is this an extracting archive and do i have to do anything with it or is it a real exe and a like precompiled autorun thing? btw what am i downloading here? is this the latest unmodified original htc system for my phone?

and yeah: how do i need to apply it?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
It is an executable program. Just run it on a Windows PC and follow the instructions.
[HTC Incredible S] benutzer001:
ouch. so everything will be gone? i mean a have the sd and sim out but okay..

btw: i just dont get what this is. have you any clue on what happened here and/or why? this just makes no sense to me. how can it corrupt itself?
[HTC Incredible S] Ozgurce:
I don't know why this happen but yes everything will be gone.
[HTC Incredible S] benutzer001:
i doesnt work.. great..

program runs, checks version, newest version and version on phone are the same, i click okay patch anyway, phone reboots and progress bar shows up on pc. phone boots right to the locked-security warning menu and the pc bar gets stuck at waiting for bootloader. stays there 2 minutes and then aborts patching.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Try it again.
[HTC Incredible S] benutzer001:
error 171 usb connection error

edit: i found that the fastboot var gives an answer if the phone is connected but (as of my understanding) a basic command like adb devices shows up nothing. is says showing list of devices but the space stays blank. but the fastboot command gets an answer so there must be some sort of communication between phone and pc..
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Do you have the HTC Sync app installed on your PC? If so, make sure it is not running in the System Tray or remove it all together and try again.

If you don't have HTC Sync installed, then install it to get the current drivers and then you can uninstall it and try it again.
[HTC Incredible S] benutzer001:
which parts do i uninstall after installing the sync package? i have the following:

htc sync

htc driver installer

htc bmp usb driver

do i just need to uninstall htc sync and keep the rest or uninstall everything?

edit: i only uninstalled htc sync keeping the rest. same error.
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
You can extract the Rom.zip file that the ruu is using and update manually.

Start the ruu software and stay on the first screen.

In your Start>Search programs and files box type %temp% and press enter. A temp window should appear.

search for rom.zip in that window and copy this file to your fastboot dir.

Now you have 2 options. Flash through fastboot

fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip

or rename rom.zip to PG32IMG.zip, copy to your sdcard root, reboot bootloader(hboot mode) and let the bootloader detect the zip and install.
[HTC Incredible S] benutzer001:
where is my fastboot dir? for the adb commands i've setup an android-sdk-windows folder in C: but nothing else.

just running the "fastboot oem rebootRUU" command from somewhere gets me this:

i am doing all this with my bare phone, no sd and sim card inserted. is it necessary to backup my sd card and insert it?!

and does everything needs to be done in an elevated cmd?
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
Looks like hardware failure. Try the PG32IMG.zip method but I don't like your chances. From what I see, you did everything right.
[HTC Incredible S] benutzer001:
so you think it just died? when i try to send the rom.zip in an not elevated cmd over usb it sends correctly, then tries to apply it but aborts with an error saying smth. like flashing over remote is not allowed.

funny thing is that i dont have any other access to my microsd (32gig btw) other than my phone. and right now i cant access it or is there a cmd way? i dont think so because the phone os would be needed to unmount the sd card so that windows can access it, right?
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
I think you have fried emmc chip. Some batches of incS are notorious for it. It commonly occurs by powering down by removing the battery, but It's possible that it just died.

If you have another sdcard, I would try that before giving up hope. You should be able to copy the pg32img.zip by entering hboot USB mode.

edit: I had look back at your previous posts and noticed you didn't have sdcard inserted. It should be installed in the phone.
[HTC Incredible S] benutzer001:
i thought and found the 8gig sd card which came with the phone. i can use that.

so where do i input that copy command? over cmd.exe? how is the string to access the phones sd card? it doesnt pop up as removeable media in windows explorer anymore.

edit:

edit2:

i've been crossreading the error codes i get and found out that adb wont work while i'm locked to this mode. fastboot commands shall work and phone seems to work over that.

now what are my options from here?
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
In bootloader there is an option called hboot USB, your sdcard should be accessible in windows explorer when you select this.
[HTC Incredible S] JerryBYong:
If you get stuck in fastboot mode with security warning, all you have to do is run a incredible s stock ics ruu
[HTC Incredible S] benutzer001:
hello, if i do this the phone now shows "HBOOT USB PLUG" in the bootloader screen but the sd card doesnt appear in windows explorer. in the devices manager i get now an unknown device called "Android 1.0". couldnt access it then, in some sort of hurry and maybe wannabeknowledge i force refreshed the driver to the installed htc driver. now it is shown as "My HTC" in device manager but i still cant access. is there some sort of fastboot command to push the zip?

this doesn't work. the updater gives out an error about a failing usb connection.
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
I don't know of any other way besides using cardreader or another phone.
[HTC Incredible S] benutzer001:
okay then i try tomorrow to get some cardreader or adapter for microsd to usb or something..

it's my only option for now anyway. i contacted the htc support on saturday right after it happened but didnt recieved any answer til today..
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
At this point it's not looking very hopeful. I am quite sure it's a hardware failure. Keep trying HTC.
[HTC Incredible S] benutzer001:
i bought an card reader anyway and copied the zip over. phone found the zip and loaded it, checked it and asked me if i want the update. i click yes and it starts parsing but fails at step1 of 9 in "Bootloader" with error code:

Fail-PU

Partition update fail!

Update fail!

on copying i found out that this is the 8gig sd i used on an old system before i did a full factory reset for the android 4 update and after that changed sd cards. should i format the sd card (if yes in which system etc? normally the phone does this) or is this partition error the failure of that system chip?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
The error indicates a failure trying to write to the android partition on the phone itself, not on the SD card.

It looks like nonverbose is correct about your phone having a hardware failure.

My LG G2x don't show baseband and IMEI

I have installed CWM with the process "OneClickRecoveryFlasher.exe" and is working fine.

I can change the ROM with CWM using the option Install zip or recovering a bkp, but all ROM have the same problem ( no baseband and IMEI). One of them is ROM LG-P999-V21e build GRI40, Android 2.3.3.

I have tested many using KDZ software ( manual, automatic) but allways lost the connection. With W7 and XP

I have many doubts.

-Which OS is right for KDZ ?

- Is there any recovery option using CWM or Linux ?

- I download the windows driver from LG site, was this a mistake ?

I have worked with Samsung, but is my first time with LG.

This is the wife's phone, help me !!!

it was probably back in march when i unlocked it. It's been so long that I don't remember - probably the same turorial you posted the link to. I had it using simple mobile since then - but switched over to straight talk today because I couldn't handle the edge network anylonger. I seriously doubt just switching the sim would lock it up again.

You need the one that's specifically for unlocked att phones. Atleast, that's what I have and didn't have any problems switching from simple mobile to straight talk.

I bought a sim package and one months of service from Walmart. $59

My original problem of sim not provisioned is solved - it just took 24 hours to port the number from simple mobile to ST and activate it. Love ST - just hope I don't max out the data.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] klyon:
That's a cool deal... I can't find mention of it anywhere online. It would be great to have sims for both networks; it only shows up on straight talk's website and walmarts one sim at a time. Where did you find it?

Sim not provisioned MM 2

Hello xda developers,

I have flashed cwm recovery (for xperia M) in my M dual c2004 device. First thing it says is "Sim not provisioned MM 2" What is this? I think Xperia M is not a dual sim variant so the CWM designed for M does not support 2nd SIM? i think so.

Now I have flashed CWM recovery designed for M dual C2004. I successfully rooted my phone. Yippeeee.

My actual doubt is - if i flash xperia's kitkat firmware in my Xperia M dual device, will i be able to use my 2nd SIM?

What best can i do if i want a kitkat firmware which supports dual sim on my M dual c2004 phone?

Hi everyone!

I bought a TF101 2 days before.

I have some questions, please help me with answers.

I wanna make root and change to a cooked rom.

Found a one click flasher, name Easyflasher, I think I wont have problem with it.

First question, must be the bootloader unlock? If yes, how can i ?

Which is the best Recovery? I found some..

Overall which is the best cooked rom? For me important, the rom looks like and works like the stock. ARHD looks good.

Do You know app for playing videos with SAMBA share?

and the last one: if I have an external HDD with ext3 format, how can I use it with tablet? I tried, but did not recognized it.

Sorry for my lot of stupid question and bad english.

Thank You for the answers!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TheDoolster:
1: No, you don't have to unlock the bootloader.

2: I personally use Roach CWM, but if you want touch, use TWRP.

3: I use RaymanFX's Jelly Bean rom, t is very very fast, smooth, and stable.

4: No but google should find you some.

5: I don't think the TF101 can read ext3 formatted drives, maybe someone else can answer that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] arieil:
Well I agree.

But it would be easier for you to use revolver rom. It Ics and works with on bugs.

Beside ntfs amount on it great. It might be better for your HDD.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] claire78:
1: I made the recovery and root, it was easy :)

2: I tried all of them, CWM too, and in CWM was the backup sooooo slow (~10min).. so now i use TWRP (2min backup)

3: flashed that JB rom, looks so good, the animations are amazing. now use ARHD maybe flash JB rom back if i can get the asus weather, time widgets. :P Have You got any problem with it??

4: yes, find on PLAY. BSPlayer for example. not so nice, but works.

thanks for your help!!!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] grgmre:
Haven't checked. Do you need to use Samba? Plex is a great media server alternative.

It's free for your desktop and $5 for the mobile app. It's a very nice media solution. I use it and love it. Sorry if I'm heading in the wrong direction.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] claire78:
my mediaplayer has SMB service. that want to use it. another solution is if i get an DLNA app for tablet. then the musics on my tablet, but i can listen on my mediaplayer too.

that will be good, when i listen music on tablet and i could transfer the playing to the mediaplayer.

thanks! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoulSeekerHS:
This is my first android phone, so this is probably a really dumb question...

But from my over 6 years of experience with customizing smartphones (they where still called PDAs or Pocket-PCs back than hehe) I learned one important rule: Always back up everything you need to get it back to stock settings, in case you ever need to RMA it.

I just spend a full evening on research, but it seems like its really not possible to backup the system without voiding the warranty aka rooting the phone. Is that right? Since I have a very peculiar item to start with, a Huawei u8160 aka Vodafone 858 smart with a Swisscom branded Rom, its impossible to find that particular rom on the net. I guess I can always go with a Vodafone stock rom and return it directly to Huawei instead of Swisscom, but than again: will those roms be unrooted? If so, how did anyone acquire them?

Once I am sure I have no chance anyway, I can go on rooting the phone with a clear conscience. ;) But if there is a chance to get that stock rom saved first, I would be a little more relaxed with future customization.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] onebornoflight:
Ok, so my Doubleshot has had the screen black and not responding across 4 roms now so I have concluded it is a hardware issue. As I Type this I am limited to soft kb only cuz anytime I slide the phone open it blacks out. Does that sound like a flex cable or the screen itself? Note: I have to tap the slide part to make the screen come back. Any help would be appreciated. This phone is hard to replace in my area without eBay which I don't trust... So please offer help or advice or whatever. Thanks.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Sompom:
At least it's not the G2. If you haven't seen one, it has a really freaky hinge where the hinge hinges at both ends and does not bend, so the screen flips up and over, so at the top point the screen and the keyboard are a hinge length apart.... Sorry, that's a really worthless description, but I can't describe it any better!

Anyway, the G2 has a really unusual hinge, and my flex cable went out. I called HTC, and they said that I could send it in, but likely it wouldn't be covered under warranty because it breaks so often... Thanks HTC!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] onebornoflight:
Well... It seems the flex cable is fine. I was preparing my phone for shipping and when i removed the front clip of my case the screen came on... Slid the phone open and rotated as prescribed... Did some research and some cases/covers obscure or put pressure on the proximity sensor causing it to disable the screen. Good news is i'm under warranty if i'm wrong... But since i took the front piece of my cover off the phone works perfectly. Weird huh? Didn't have this problem with the Body Glove case.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moikop:
Edit: Solved by going back to Stock GB. Thanks everyone!

I've got a friend who got a new Captivate from the US. And he flashed CM10 right after getting it, without making a backup of the efs folder. Now, the efs partition is completely empty, and of course it says "Unknown baseband, unknown imei", etc".

I've looked around, but all the imei restore methods seem to require at least one efs file. However in this case we have none. So, is there any way to restore the efs/imei? Maybe mounting it to the pc and running a file restoration software (might sound desperate, but we are).

Also, I have another captivate (this one is mine) with the efs. Would it be possible to modify my backup to use his original imei and then restore it in his phone?

Any ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Installing CM should automatically backup /efs to the sdcard. Look for a folder called "backup." Also, flashing to stock can sometimes resolve these issues without tampering with /efs
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treygrizzard26:
I can't give you a 100% guarantee, but the two phones that I've had to recover IMEI's for both regained the efs folder contents when I flashed to stock GB from an ICS or JB rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilgenx:
Waiting 5mins inbetween postings sux. :)

The easiest way I could find to restore my IMEI was to re-flash back to a stock (in my case it was a rogers rom) then go forth from there. Like it was mentioned above, CM9/10 save the efs and restore it after flash. I lost my IMEI while flashing Helly and was frustrated at reading the "fixes". It was just easier to format, reflash stock then go back to CM10 (Which I'm running now and it's great). :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moikop:
Thanks for the replies.

Apparently, he tried to flash CM9, and in the process he thinks the internal memory (/sdcard/) was somehow wiped and now he can't find that folder. I told him to use recuva or something like that to try and get them back, let's see how that goes.

But in case he can't recover that folder, is there any other way? Maybe mounting efs partition on the memory and using recuva then?

He really has bad luck... :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moikop:
Well, there really is NO backup. I can't find the efs backup on the sdcard. Even tried with Recuva and there's nothing there.

What's funny about it is that there's no files in the efs partition, yet the df command says it's full. Any ideas?

As a last resource thing, I was thinking about using the efs from MY captivate and see what happens. Thoughts?

I really apreciate any comment!! Thanks in advance.
