[HTC 7 Pro] TheXev:
WP8 will bring OTA updates to the table, so for now, Zune is it for updating on WP7's. I find it really odd you can charge it but not get data. Have you tried a factory reset? What does Zune do when you plug it in? Do you get any "unknown" devices listed in device manager, if so, what devices? When you put the phone in bootloader mode (power off phone, old down button and press power.. tri-color screen will appear), will it switch from Serial to USB [btw, in bootloader mode, it is normal for the phone not to charge.]?

I will note (only because of my recent experience) that the bootloader driver will not download from Windows Update for x64 systems (prob not for 32-bit either, but unsure). Your options to install that are to install Android Sync (or pull the drivers out from it), or use a moded inf for older HTC Android phones. I moded an x64-bit driver that should work.. at least on Trophy and Arrive/Pro 7 (CDMA), perhaps others with the same hardware ID.

This driver is only used for diagnostic mode. Zune driver is completely different and should install on a system even without Zune installed (in Windows 7 anyway). It is possible that if the diag driver works, but the Zune driver doesn't, that some weirdness has gone on from an unlocked rom + ansar's USB tethering app that will prevent your phone from connecting to Zune. Only way I've found to fix that weirdness is to flash a custrom ansar rom and run his USB tethering app, and tap "Zune mode"... but normally the phone wouldn't charge at all if this was the problem. O_o;

Anyway.. check device manager and see if anything is popping up.. even an unrecognized device.

*edit* The driver will prompt you that it is unsigned. That is because I modified the older HTC Diag driver from my HTC Eris [that's easier then me redownloading a useless Android app I'll never use again!] I take no resposability blah blah blah for anything this driver does (It should be fine though :P)
[HTC 7 Pro] ultramaroon:
Thanks. I followed your instructions best as I can (I am a newb to WP).. Some interesting results.

I've tried factory resetting it. A few times, both via hardware (pressing volume button with power or something) and via the software. Neither helped. I've installed and uninstalled Zune a bunch of times. It doesn't load up when I plug the device in. (when i plug the device into USB, it makes the sound that it gets power and starts charging; i get the same sound when I plug it into a wall) If I open the Zune application, it will say device not connected no matter if the phone is connected or not. I get one "unknown" device listed, called HTC. When I try to force it to install device drivers, it can't find any. I tried to point it to the Zune/drivers folder, but it says it can't find drivers for the device. When i load to bootloader, it does switch from Serial to USB.

OK, so then I installed your diagnostic device driver. I had the phone in bootloader and plugged it in; at this point, the computer installed device drivers for a Quallcomm MSM/CDMA device. Then for a brief second, Windows Mobile Device Center loaded up, but it said Device Not Connected. Now when I go into device manager, the phone is listed under HTC modem, as per your device driver. However, when I restart the phone, Zune still doesn't recognize the phone.

So it's weird because obviously the computer sees something. Just not the right thing....
[HTC 7 Pro] TheXev:
Okay, the good news is that you can flash roms if you want. Bootloader uses a different driver from Zune/normal mode. So the Zune driver isn't installing (which means your PC is the problem, not the phone).

There are a few options you can try, but the easy one is... make sure the newest Zune is installed, then when you try to manually install the driver for the missing "HTC" device, point the driver installation to windows/inf to see if that fixes it (I had a weird issue with Windows 7 32-bit once where the only way I can install even basic drivers was to point it to windows/inf lol. If not, I'll use a driver pulling program and pull the Zune driver for you and post it here.
[HTC 7 Pro] ultramaroon:
The Zune driver is definitely installed; last night I picked up another Arrive (I am heading out of town tomorrow so I really wanted something with a good maps app) and it works fine with the same computer/same cable. So at least I've got a working one now; would still like to get the other one working, though...

So I went into the Settings/About of each phone to compare some of the info, in case it helps:

Working Phone:

OS version: 7.10.7720.68

Firmware revision number: 2305.13.40301.651

Hardware revision number: 0002

Bootloader version: 4.3.230513.1(130787)

Non-working phone:

OS version: 7.0.7403.0

Firmware revision number: 2305.06.12501.651

Hardware revision number: 0002

Bootloader version: 1.25.230506.1(118490)
[HTC 7 Pro] ultramaroon:
Well, like you said, I was indeed able to flash a rom. I put in a new the Sianto 7.8 one and it loads up just fine. However, when I plug in cord, Zune still doesn't recognize it. So bizarre. But better than before!
[HTC 7 Pro] TheXev:
Okay, what I want you to try next is this: Install ansar's USB tethering and select "Zune mode" and see if that makes it work with Zune. If you played around with this app before and switched it to diag mode, that can permanently make it stuck in daig mode, causing something similar to this. Even if you haven't messed with ansar's USB tethering in the past, try it anyway and see if it helps (you can download it via Bazaar too if that's easier then pushing the xap).
[HTC 7 Pro] ultramaroon:
I'll try this when I get back in town next week. THanks for your help, TheXev.
[HTC 7 Pro] ultramaroon:
Success!!!! Zune/Windows recognizes my phone once again. I guess the previous owner was screwing around and got it stuck in the other mode. I am very grateful for all your help, Xev. Now I have two devices; perhaps I should sell one. Also I saw that you are preparing your own ROM? I look forward to trying it out..

[Dell Streak 7] addictedhacks:
I've got a tmobile streak 7 and can't get it to do anything. Someone tried to root and now all it does is FC. It wont reset or wipe data. I downloaded all the update packages and none work. Onty one comes close but then says "modem install error" I can flash CWM in fastboot but it gets overwritten by stock. I have also tried tried Gingerbreak to root and one click to at least get root to go rename rename recovery.install.zip so CWM won;t get overwritten but its a no go. I think I have tried everything and I am still stuck on this same stock ROM with all the same data that wont get erased. Also reset button doesnt do anything either. Any help would be appreciated thanks guys

Edit: just restored with NV Flash and it didnt work. It flashed fine but it is still on the same crap
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
clear dalvik cache and see how you go, you may have a read only device, in which case charge you device for 24hrs, perform a wipe from fastboot, push recovery, system and boot partitions back onto the device and see how that turns out
[Dell Streak 7] addictedhacks:
Thank you for the rapid reply!

I have let it fully charge and still can do nothing. I can't erase in (fastboot) anything or flash anything. Not even Dalvik cache.
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
have you tried booting a different boot.img from fastboot?

if you can then you should be able to wipe caches, if not refer to the read only mode thread
[Dell Streak 7] addictedhacks:
Ill try thanks again for your support. Flashed boot.img and nothing. still boots up on same thing. You are right it is only read. I looked at the read only thread but its not working either. Am i out of luck?
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
if its still under warranty then see how you go getting it replaced by dell, mine was a temporary thing I fixed it after a bad flash... pull a logcat of the boot I wanna see if you can get anything in comparison to a RW device.. what rom were you running?

Swype is not working on GN with 4.1.2 after the update to 1.3.

Is it just me or others are experiencing the same?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sueder:
It's a known problem.

The solution so far is turn off any apps like lightflow in settings > accessibility.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] northendtrooper:
Yep. Having issues with it too since I went to the new update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] denis_y_s:
To fix it you need either go to the Settings / Accessibility - and then turn off all apps that is listed under Services (like LightFlow for example).

Or disable the stock Android Keyboard. Just go to the Apps / All / Android Keyboard - and disable it, also force stop it. Then it is important to restart your phone.

Now you will have Swype selected and working as you main keyboard.

temporary fix....

- Settings > Apps > All

In this manner I am currently able to run both Lightflow and Swype.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kuronohito:
Hi, a noob here. Searched the google a lot and didn't find what i was looking for. I upgraded my Sony Go to ICS few days ago using flash tool. The phone became laggy as hell. Half of the movies I try to watch are played frame by frame. And I don't think it's normal for a 2core phone to act like this, specialy when my previous phone (Sony Ericsson Neo V) had no problems in that department.

So I tried to find the files needed to downgrade the phone, but couldn't.

Can you guys help? Show me the money... erm I mean the files needed and maybe a correct link for a tutorial?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] realfelix:
First you need this: http://ul.to/9o4swxaa, its called Flashtool.

Then you need to download a GB firmware: http://depositfiles.com/files/zydgysz9i and place it in the firmwares folder within Flashtool folder.

Then open up flashtool and click the thunder icon on the upper left, choose Flashmode, now choose the firmware you want to flash(6.0.B.3.184 downloaded earlier). Connect your phone into flashmode(turn it off, connect the usb cable to the phone(NOT TO THE PC!WAIT!), hold volume down(?) while plugging in the usb cable to the pc, Flashtool will recognize your phone and start flashing. Once its done just power on your phone and you should be good to go.

DON'T FORGET TO WIPE ! : Check everything after choosing your desired firmware on the right side: Wipe Cache, Wipe data, Wipe appslog
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kuronohito:
Ok it did work ... to some point.

Now I have the GB back ... BUT

I see a zillion errors such as

"Sorry!

The process

android.process.media has stoped unexpectedly ... etc

"

And if i connect the phone to PC, the PC comp can't recognize the phone ..

ideas? Any other GB builds out there to try? I'm from Greece btw

my review features after downgrading from ICS to GB:

Much smoother and faster UI (screen swipe)

Camera lag-free (took 9 pictures in 16 seconds)

[MENTION=5242980]3MB[/MENTION] 720p mode with red-eye reduction flash IMAGE/VIDEO recording

Camera works great with improved photo clarity

No signal Drops

Longer battery life (63Hrs 48Mins @33c with full charged batt)

More stable applications (for now, no application crashes i.e... Widgets, Walkman, LiveWallpapers etc,..)

Smoother in-app graphics (tested games temple run, minion rush etc,..)

So efficient multi-tasking (lessRAM is used up by GB which leaves more memory for apps)

CPU is underclocked to 1GHz when Home screen is active

Contact and Sms app takes 1.5 sec to open (ICS main issues)

SCREENSHOTS (change DOTS to .)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FrustratedAndConfused:
Hi Guys,

So I unlocked my phone's bootloader, flashed ClockworkMod Touch Recovery and then tried to flash CM10.... something went wrong and now my phone is stuck on the HTC Logo with the red text that says "This build is for development purposes only......".

I have tried just about everything I have read about, and I am still just as screwed. Have I permanently bricked my phone?

Thanks for your help.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] divertedmind:
First for the One XL it is suggested you use TWRP and not CWM

You can get it here from their website .

It tells you how to fastboot flash it.

If you did an OTA to 2.20 or your device came with 2.20 you probably need to flash the boot.img /kernel

So in your CM10 zip, extract the boot image.

and use fastboot to flash the boot img with the command

fastboot flash boot boot.img

and that should help you out.

I also suggest reflashing the rom with TWRP just in case. Hope this helps.

Can adb see the phone?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bimmernut318:
This is the one xl correct, not the international on x?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
If you can get anything on your screen, your phone isn't hard-bricked.

First, which phone do you have? ClockworkMod Touch Recovery does not work on the AT&T One X (One XL). If you tried flashing a ROM through it, it's not going to work and it's probably not booting up because the ROM is corrupted.

I would start with flashing a new recovery in adb. Use TWRP, because even the basic CWM is not supported for this phone and can cause issues.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NismoR31:
Can you get into recovery? If so is the SD card mountable?

First time I flashed i had a similar issue where the SD couldn't mount. I ended up having to run the factory RUU after relocking the bootloader & then start again. I waited for a later nightly to come out. Also seems to go better if you flash a different rom first like viper.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Doesn't matter. He flashed the wrong recovery (not for our phone). There is not Touch CWM for our version.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aprate:
well i fixed this by putting the usb cable into a usb 2.0 port instead of the 3.0 one.

So try another usb port if you still have problems. :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckoyote:
Same here. Fixed it afterall!

Was about to give up on Nexus 7 2012 due to write failed messages when flashing the larger files like system.img and complete roms including factory roms 4.4.4 to 5.1.1. (upon booting stuck on animated google logo)

I did notice the error messages were different in output as was the time at which they apeared after pressing the enter(return) key. Another indication may have been the slowing down in responseness of the fastboot commands (erase,format,reboot-bootloader etc).

The less obvious solution, which makes no sense at all to me, was to switch USB ports on my MAC 27 (late 2013) . I ended up with sucesfull flashing using the last USB port on the right. That is on the right when sitting in front of it while the ports are on the back....

To sum it up: Not all USB ports are the same afterall? Wether 2.0 or 3.0 or voltages i have no idea. Suppose same may be true for PC's of any brand.

Don't try giving up.:cool:

What rom do you have on your phone?

Why do you like it?

What dont you like about it?

Im curious to see what everyone is running

So far ive ran aokp, paranoid android, and cm10.

Im currently on cm10 and enjoy how professional it is. (explaining the swag button to potent galaxy buyers was kind of tough)

I would have kept paranoid android but the profiles didnt work and i didnt know how to use the dpi changer.

I also started this thread to see who uses android development ROMS instead of the original development ones

Im mainly interested in the non original android development roms users and their oppinions but everyone's answer is appreciated
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] scorpion667:
My favorite was Codename Android, besides one major flaw that myself and very few others experienced: Impossible to send SMS longer than 160 characters, regardless of settings/reflashes/apn/etc. Just because it was the smoothest ROM for me.

I value UI smoothness above all else and have yet to find a ROM that is truly stutter free.

CM10 is ok, but if you go to clock and swipe to the side to go to timer it stutters like a pentium 2 running Crysis: Warhead.

Stock ICS ROM's lag, as well Facebook/third party app scrolling has constant stutter reminiscing of SGS1

JB Leaks (LIF, LIG, LIH) give me blackscreen reboots once in a while, although noticeably smoother than ICS.

I didn't mention battery life as quite frankly I can get a day of usage with every ROM I have tried so far which is nearly all of them.

I think I'm using stock ROM right now as I was fed up and just restored an old nandroid... I guess its ok, everything just works, lots of stutter's though. Doesn't have that premium feel you expect of a device at this price point.

inB4 go buy iphone5
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Longcat14:
Run AOKP then, it's extremely fast and smooth. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] scorpion667:
I have tried multiple versions of it, still stutters on homescreen sometimes. Same Timer stutter as CM10 and annoying alarm bug (although there is a fix, it's inconvenient). As well the Nova launcher that AOKP uses, and pretty much all third party launchers have a little input lag due to non native integration or no hardware acceleration (not sure which, but the input lag is there).

Anyway I'll take my fluidity rant somewhere else, people seem happy with the current state of the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bengali548:
The childishness of aokp turned me off since i looked at the boot logo but my gripes can all be easily fixed /hidden.

I havent noticed the speed difference but i do see tge lag you speak about but ive dismissed it as a hardware being underpowered to the rom issue and dont notice it as much anymore

So im still looking for answers from non original development users but to everyone else

>> What are the Cm10 vs aokp major Differences?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crash822:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zap12341:
I'm currently using cm10 and I find very awesome. It's fast and has a lot of great features. I tried AOKP and decided that IMO cm10 was closer to actual 4.1, but AOKP had many more features.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] old_toaster:
I had been running AOKP for a week or so, I like its customization better than that of other ROMs.

I just yesterday found a new ROM called Paranoid KANGdroid. It pulls from CM10, AOKP, and Paranoid Android. Has pretty much all the features of all three. So much customization, I love it. Not fully stable, though, its only a few days old.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cadenn:
Long story short I made a mistake and flashed rom meant for the I9300 into my I747M and now it's bricked (dead screen and buttons don't do anything). After some research I found these things called "usb jigs" which can breathe life back into your phone. I found some on ebay meant for the I9000 and the I9300 and I was wondering if there really is a difference between the two? Also I'm also finding some some mismatching information. Some websites are indicating that if you flash a wrong rom into your phone, you can use the usb jig to put your phone into download mode and it'll be unbricked, while other websites state that if your phone screen won't turn on, the usb jig won't do anything for you. I was wondering if someone could clarify for me this information.

And yes I know I'm an idiot for not double checking whether or not the ROM was compatible with my phone or not :( and now i'm paying the price.
