Holy smokes!

Holy smokes people! This thread now has over 22000 views!!! BIG THANKS go out to neoyoli, whoamigriffiths, fkofilee and russell664....

I never thought my guide would help people get into android and start learning :) I'm a bad, inattentive OP, and I apologize :P I've been studying for my upcoming college and I get sidetracked easily by new projects so I haven't been around much. ALSO my Desire C was completely busted for almost a month till I got around to fixing it! I should have made a video in case other people break their power buttons -- if you have any experience with a soldering iron its not that hard of a fix... I've also been learning PHP & MySQL, and that's been taking up a LOT of my time.

Has anyone else noticed strange performance with the OC'd kernels that come with Nameless?

Like my Antutu score is through the roof now but I find it takes a long time to do basic things (just like with the standard kernel :rolleyes:) ... I'm going to switch back to the original speed after I update to the newest Nameless tomorrow.

Also, I wrote a new htc_boot.mp3 if anyone would like to hear it. I'll upload it soon, it's pretty cool if you like electronic music at all. It's nice and simple but still livens up the boot process. Part of my college training will be on USB and how to work with commands in the interface -- so hopefully I'll learn something I can use to screw with my phones! ;)

Anyway, thanks to everyone who gave me thanks and contributed to the poll!! I promise now that I have Linux up and running on both computers and I'm online more that I'll help out more. Also, as my knowledge grows I will become more and more useful, I promise!!

***BEGIN PLUG*** So, to anyone out there ... SWITCH TO LINUX! My GOD everything is SO MUCH EASIER that on Windows!!! And that goes for just about anything... programming, development, writing, hacking, etc etc. I've always used Linux but I kept Windows as my main OS for... mostly laziness I guess. But man, I am seriously falling in love with this OS!!! It's just incredible what open source software gives you... so much power and control over everything! I mean I can stream HD video on my super old box running DDR-PC2700 RAM, single core 2.6Ghz Processor and 256Mb AGP Graphics card ... not exactly new!! And it runs great! (It's using Lubuntu, FWIW) WAY better than XP, which was on it before... Anyway, at the very least, get a copy of BackTrack or Ubuntu or any distro really, and make a live USB stick using Linux Live USB or Unetbootin so that when you need to, you can use Linux to issue commands to your phone or whatever. I promise, Linux is way easier than you think! (FYI I recommend Ubuntu for Live USB because it can be a 'persistent' copy, meaning changes stick and downloaded software stays after you reboot)

***END PLUG***

Sorry for the long post peeps! I'm just in a great mood these days and I'm just too full of energy for my own good!

Thanks guys! :good::good::good: :highfive:
[HTC Desire C] fkofilee:
Okay well you problem seems to proport towards the usb ports you are using :(

IS it a desktop, i have seen hundreds of people try to do this and they fail...

Are you using a usb hub? IF so this may be your problem,

Also if connected to the front USB port of any PC it might not work because the front ports work on a Hub system.

pull out the tower and try the back ports and try to connect directly to the USB port not using any extension cables along with the original USB cable.
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Try using one of the back USB ports, connected directly to the motherboard mate, sometimes the case one can be dodgy with devices. :)

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - FAILED [8] - SOLVED

So good news. I finally managed to get fastboot to work (and have since flashed the recovery/boot, etc).

The only thing I did differently this time around, was use ubuntu rather than windows. (same usb port, same cable, same .img files, etc).

I have no idea why it worked on ubuntu and not windows.

But either way, thank you to everyone who through some advice at me. I really appreciate it!

Cheers
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Glad it worked out for you mate, now get flashing some Roms! :)
[HTC Desire C] fkofilee:
My view is exactly as i said... use a different usb port :) in which changing OS also does this :)

Glad you got it working :)
[HTC Desire C] X4m0n:
I'm a bit stuck, when I try to install CWM i get waiting for device. All steps till this one went fine. Can you guys help please?
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
Does fastboot recognise your device? Type fastboot device to check.

If not, try to reconnect the usb, restart the pc, or a different os or pc (it worked for some before).

Or switch off the phone, take out the battery and try it again. Or maybe even factory reset in bootloader.

Also CWM has a reboot bug when restoring data, so it's better if you try TWRP instead: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2148015

use version 2.4.3.0 as the newer official one has some bugs yet.

Let us know how it goes.
[HTC Desire C] X4m0n:
Fasboot gives me same->waiting for device<-

I'll try TWRP but just to be 100% sure that I do it right, after I paste recovery to android-sdk/platform-tools directory where from to open cmd to flash recovery?
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
I put everything in C:/Android, make sure to copy adb and fasboot in the directory from where you want to flash, but platform-tools should work too.

Also, did you install HTC Sync? That includes the usb drivers.

Otherwise try the other steps I listed above.
[HTC Desire C] X4m0n:
Don't know why it didn't work from "android" folder, but I managed to flash TWRP from sdk folder. Now to grab some nice rom...

Thx for the fast help mate...:)
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
cool, glad it worked:)
[HTC Desire C] mellow'd:
Yo guys, root NEWB here but fast learner.

I unlocked the bootloader and installed superboot successfully, however now i have a problem on step 3, the phone is in bootloader mode>fastboot, then in cmd after i type the command " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" i get the following message:

"c:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file."

Any help would be much appreciated
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
Hi mellow'd, it looks like you don't have a working fastboot. Check the previous pages, we covered a lot about the possible causes and solutions. If you still having problems after checking those steps, post back detailing what you have tried.
[HTC Desire C] mellow'd:
Thanks man i think I'v copped the problem, although i haven't tested yet. I stupidly cleared the C:\Android folder after step 2, so no fastboot.exe was inside. I'm guessing that's the problem.? Gonna test soon
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
yep, then it doesn't work. Keep the C:\Android folder with SDK, adb, and fastboot in it, because you might need the whole pack in the future for flashing a new kernel, pushing files and so on.
[HTC Desire C] mellow'd:
Thanks pal everything worked sweetly,Rooted & Namless installed :)

Don't mean to wreck your head but, whats the directory for the backup i made in recovery? I want to move it to my pc. Also I'm looking to get a better SD card (currently class 2 lol), so what important files would i need to copy over if any?
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
If you used TWRP, then it's TWRP lol (go with that one, because CWM from munjeni does reboot when restoring data). But I guess you used CWM then it's clockworkmod.

Just copy the folder and you'll be fine. It you want to save your whole SD then the best if you make an image file of it on your pc, and you restore it to your new SD, you clone it this way, otherwise you just copy it and it will be corrupted maybe.

You can add as many Google accounts as you would like to a single device.

About credit cards, I don't know. Try adding a credit card you have on another account to a different Google account and see if it is accepted

Sorry bro, but MMS does not, and probably never will work on AOSP for Virgin Mobile. JMZ (known here as JMZTaylor) tried to get it working endlessly on Androidforums but they have not yet found out how to do so. If you want MMS, you're gonna need Sense. :(

I got to work on the sos m ROM sensless not sure if its the same as a aokp, tried a few of the fixes that was for the cm 9 but didn't work.... thanks for the reply

How bout on a CNA ROM I know team dirt has one u think MMS for virgin mobile will be working

I believe CNA is based off CM10 which is based on AOSP so nope.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cheetos316:
Just got my 5.0 and I want to try a different ROM. I looked but couldn't find a page with the stock ROM. Also I got it used. Is there a way to find out if the ROM on here is stock or not? Is there a way of imaging what u have currently so that uf there is something I don't like that I can go right back to what I have now?

In terms of installing a different ROM, do I need to root first? And what is this CM10 that I see? Do I need to install it as well?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] suyash1:
What player do you have? international or Korean or US? Either way I think there are stock roms for all three
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cheetos316:
It should be the US version. It says YP-G70 on the back. I didn't see a thread for the stock ROM on the Android Development page.

Also does anyone know anything about making an image of my current setup?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] suyash1:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1520728 there is the stock rom for the US. US one is the one with capacitive buttons.

Hi

I could not find any record of this happening to anyone anywhere in the world.

The contacts synced on my phone are not mine. Everything was fine yesterday and now suddenly all my contacts do not have phone numbers and all of the contacts that I have no idea who they are have phone numbers.

Verizon said they never heard of anything like it and dont know what to do. Has anyone ever experienced something like that?

Please help, how on earth am I going to find my contacts phone numbers.

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] johnnyp500:
Issue was resolved!

I managed to find an old backup and imported it back so I dont know what happened but I do have my contacts

Thanks

[Motorola Droid 3] stretchnz:
Hi all

I require a new digitizer due to a portion of it no longer working (my fault =P).

Motorola Droid 3, XT862

Has anyone done this that can recommend me a quality or genuine replacement part ?

I am in New Zealand, imported the Droid 3 so it is impossible or close to it to find a local repair agent willing to help.

If someone can point me to an online reseller that would be fantastic, in a perfect world digitizer already mounted to housing would be good to save having to unglue mine, apply adhesive etc etc but I am not too worried.

Rather not purchase the LCD/Digitizer set that is already assembled due to the price unless this is affordable.

Thanks a bunch in advance.

If running a vulnerable version, would it be possible to gain root through this exploit?

Also if the app is a pre-installed system application.

The reason I'm asking is because the HTC ONE XL currently has no root method running the new firmware 2.20.

We are desperate over there
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billydroid:
Bump, very curious about this.

Someone must have some insight

Is this a stupid question or doesn't anyone know?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjz2cool:
that article says someone can gain access users on a device, and only gain the privileges of those users, so no root if it's even the same case for android
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmwjnky:
Today Google + and Google Play app downloads have stopped working right. It will no longer sign into G+, I get a warning that it can't communicate with the server. For the Play apps download issue, I can log into the the Play store and see my current apps and search for new ones but it won't download a new app through the phone or sending it from my online account on my PC. I've cleared the data for both apps, tried force stopping, restarting the phone, hard reset and still no luck. All other Google apps are working fine and the phone itself is working fine so I don't know why these two apps are giving me issues. I have a 100% stock NS4G. Any help would be great.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insane youth:
i had the same problem after the 4.1.2 update to rectify this i deleted my google account from my phone then rebooted it and added my google account back to the phone, after that i was able to download and update apps again, i don't use google+ but i would imagine the above procedure would sort that issue out as well
[Continuum General] jaizero:
So, I have succeeded in porting the Fascinates 2.3.5. stock rom to our Continuum however in the "about phone" section it still says 2.3.3. I checked the build.prop and it says 2.3.5. just not sure why it didnt change the firmware version. The port boots just fine and works well as far as I can tell.. Any ideas?
[Continuum General] ciscogee:
ticker in port?

If your using our kernel 2.3.3 is in the initramfs

Couldn't tell u with out seeing... :)
[Continuum General] jaizero:
Yup ticker is working just fine... However I did a nandroid restore and accidentally did a full restore instead of just data lol, it set me back to the original EG04 and now when I try to flash my port it bootloops.. LOL I dont know if I just got lucky or what... Ill keep trying to fix it..
[Continuum General] jaizero:
This is the solution someone else found when installing Cyanogenmod and getting the same failure.

"Problem Solved!

It would seem that this is behavior one might expect if one has not cleared the personal data in ClockworkMod.

I had already cleared the Cache, but had not cleared the personal data. Having done so, and reloading the cm_nightly zip, all went well.

:)

I am very happy with my newly CyanogenModded MyTouch G4. Thanks to all who took a hand in the hard work."

However I have cleared damn near everything and am still getting the failure...
[Continuum General] ciscogee:
Did u factory reset?

What zImage are you using?

There might be other modules needed...
[Continuum General] jaizero:
Yeah I did factory reset, wipe cache, format cache, wipe dalvik. I am using our EG04 zImage. Not sure about the modules. Its just so damn irritating that I got it to boot once.. Im an idiot for not paying attention to my restore. Not sure where I can go from here. I've rebuilt the rom like 20 times with the same results. I can upload it if you wanna take a look at it.
[Continuum General] ciscogee:
well im assuming that the port didnt take the first time based on you saying the ticker was intact working cause the ported framework would not have any ref to making anything show up down there and screen res (actual display dimensions) is dif and would overlap like joshkoss' port and dif modules like they have fm radio, blah blah blah

sure send me a link and ill take a look :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kylesag21:
All right this problem has now been solved! Thank goes to khamsakamal48 for posting the solution for the problem. The problem is solved by replacing the updater-script with the one that is used in the GSM version the of Rom. Then Using the latest 4ext recovery, wipe everything and install. Thank you to everyone that have participated in trying to get this solved. This might also work with other recoveries, but has not yet been confirmed.

Updater-Script: http://db.tt/sUfk5p8E

Latest 4ext recovery: http://db.tt/sP5o7HhJ
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RRF12:
only thing i could think of is try a different recovery .I haven't had any trouble at all booting miui an i use cwm touch version.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kylesag21:
Alright I'll have to give it a try. Was trying to avoid that but oh well. Thanks!

so I tried 4ext and clockwork recovery. Both have caused my phone to just boot right back into recovery. Wiped data and all.

Can you give us a little more background on your phone setup? Have you flashed roms successfully before or is this a first time? Are you s-off?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kylesag21:
Sorry bout that. I am S-off and I am able to flash all of the other roms available. But when it comes to this one it just won't flash.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] stoicwood:
I have been having this same problem. I am going to try to go through everything I have done to see if I can get more info.

I had MIUI V4 (2.9.29 CDMA) running shortly after rooting this phone (maybe 1 week ago). I installed it from the latest TWRP, so that isn't our problem. I loved it and everything was great. I am unsure what radio I was on at the time, and I think that may be where my problems came in.

I successfully installed ViperINC 1.0.0 after doing a factory reset, wiping cache, dalvik from my WORKING MIUI V4. It booted and I played with it for a few hours, but wanted to go back to MIUI. At this point I was on the firmware from nitsuj17's thread. When I tried to factory reset and install MIUI clean again I started having the same trouble as OP. Since then I have tried every radio I could get my hands on, and may have even been a bit sloppy about what firmware I flashed (the only one I'm unsure of is CondemnedSoul's Return to stock as I am unsure what all it included other than radio and stock rom). After a lot of different attempts, I used CondemnedSoul's PG32IMG and went back to stock where I had everything working fine (for stock). I got an OTA update, but wasn't satisfied so I kept trying different radios from the pinned post on the Development thread (really only .0312 and .0320 as well as the first leaked firmware I linked from nitsuj17). So far nothing has worked to get me any further than the OP unless I just use a different rom. Had this rom never worked I would just talk to the developer, but as I had it working before and no idea what changed I'm at a loss.

I don't have enough posts to get something on the Development forum, but if anyone here can help, I'd really appreciate it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] stoicwood:
I've been scouring these forums looking for someone who has made progress on this issue. I'm going to make a list here of posts by people having similar problems, if not the exact same. I have yet to see anyone successfully address them.

One of a few people on the MIUI V4 thread who have had the same issue. I had this rom running at one point, though, so I'm not sure what change caused it to stop. I definitely get further with the TWRP recovery (freezes on "android" splash screen) than the 4ext recovery (reboots to recovery).

I don't believe the JB issues are directly related, but similar problems.

Similar to the Jellybean issue above. More similar to my own situation since I also only started having trouble after flashing ViperINC, but I have formatted, wiped and reverted (even to S-ON and unroot Froyo) so much that I can't see how it would have changed anything that I have not removed. This thread has 3+ people with the same sort of issues. Last report one of them installed ViperINC with all defaults and let it run for a few minutes then wiped and re-installed CM10 with success. I may try this, only with MIUI. I have no idea what settings would be slipping through.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
And the cdma miui is one of the only roms that boots for me. Running it now. I think Zelmo is right, there's something sticking around with that Aroma script. I've flashed aosp roms over sense roms and vice versa without even wiping and never had issues like these. I've basically wiped this thing with steel wool and always the same thing. It's gone atleast 15 mins with it's bootloop/freezing max cpu process. It ain't gonna boot! I was up until 2am last night ****ing with it. I'm done.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] stoicwood:
I'm nearly there. Had I never been able to run MIUI, I would probably have dumped it by now, but it's like an itch I can't reach at this point. There is just something there that I can't see or imagine that is hanging in through every wipe I can find. I just formatted my SD card and did a bunch of wipes (I know that has been tried) and I'm going to try VenomINC with all defaults like Zelmo88 had some success with. If I don't have any luck getting to MIUI from there I'll probably go back to my dinc or buy a new phone soon. This one was really an experiment anyway.

Will follow up if I can figure out anything else.
