Well.. this is definitely uncool.. I made a .bat that loads the bootloader from any upgrade package and runs the flash.cfg from it.. I've tried timmydean's V4, vache's 3.0.1, the babsector cfg's, and even the CES picasso version with it's huge bootloader. ALL are a no-go. My only chance seems to be to map out bad sectors with the Rawread command and try to put a dummy partition on top of them.. IF said partition doesn't fail on format.

Can someone explain the process on how to figure out what sectors are bad with the rawread comand?

I did get an error 12 a couple times before it even tried formatting on a few of my over 50 attempts.

Also.. if i am really screwed here.. anyone know of any broken a500's around that I may be able to buy a motherboard from?

Thanks everyone for your help so far. Without the countless threads I have gone through to learn what I have, I would still be sitting here scratching my head even more lol.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
I'm not much help sorry, i guess you've read what there is regarding this.

there is a few posts from user 'yaworski' who managed to fix this in one of the old bootloader threads, thats all i can offer at this point. you might wanna pm him? or maybe blackthund3r or eppeP. wish u all the luck in getting fixed.

[Acer Iconia A500] AtariDroid:
Actually you have been a great help, as you have been a large part of many of the threads I have read on the subject :)

I see this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27456113&postcount=22... but I did not succeed in finding where they actually went through the process.

I've tried running the rawdeviceread command to find the bad sector/s, but I think i am loading the RAM bootloader(Timmydean's) wrong. I have been using the a501 A.bat to load the bootloader, then killing it where it waits for the bootloader to initilize. From there I open another command prompt window, but nvflash hangs at every command. I'm not very well versed in Nvflash, as I only know what I have seen here and at Tegraowners.

Can someone tell me how to load the bootloader without having it execute any commands? That way I can run the rawdeviceread command and maybe figure out how to go from there. I also need to know if there is a way to create a partition without formatting it(I think that is automatic?). That way I can create the dummy FCK partition over the bad sector/s and skip it so the others can create/format successfully. :D

Re: [INFO/DEV] A500 ICS Bootloader (plus unlocked patched version)

oops just annihilated my post...and links to couple early bootloader threads, useful info really bct error....

apxflash tool allows you to dump your bct so you can nvflash - as long as your tab enters download mode and the apx usb device is showing up, go ahead and flash it -

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sinistertensai:
Howdy Lter's I've got a little treat for everyone. ;)

Okay so this is pretty simple

what you need

archive manager [optional] (if you dont feel like recompiling apks via apkmanager etc (wont cover this here)

attached is a zip file with the images needed to pull of this modification.

so take the rom you want this mod on and extract framework-res.apk

place it in a folder, for things like this I usually put them on the desktop. so we'll name the folder senseframework

now make another folder, or download the attachment and extract

so now we have two folders senseframework and v4lock

open both folders side by side

here's the (not hard) but annoying part

in the sense framework folder after decompiling or extracting the apk navigate to res drawable hdmi xhdmi etc find the holo (white) lockscreen components, do note the files with in the zip may not exactly match in sense but it is easy enough to spot what is what, I search in explorer for lock and all the images needed to pull this off apear I believe. there may be the odd mms.png but when it's all in front t of you it's simple to spot. so now the renaming begins.{!DO NOT RENAME ANYTHING IN THE SENSE FRAMEWORKFOLDER OR AOSP!} the only renaming takes place in the miuilock folder. so yea you rename the miui images e.g. lock_phone.png in miui folder will be renamed to ic_phone_lock.png once youre done renaming the images in the miui folder you can then select all files in the folder and paste into the sense or aosp folder or drag and drop into the apk archive once thats all done the mod is basically done

I have not yet figured out the proper smali/xml edits need in ics to make some of the graphics found in the lockscreen on miui e.g. orange highlight etc

this is a little rough at the moment ill get around to posting screenshots soon

but basically you get the lock of miuiV4 on Aosp and Sense, for sense youll need to remove the htc lockscreen parts.

here are before and after shots

before

after

Dev's, modders hackers kangers feel free to use this in your roms all I ask is that you credit me

and to make things easier Ill be editing the images for the mod well renaming them to the proper names for sense 4.+ and aosp

Noob question of the day: Does this work with CM10 (or any other AOSP Jellybean ROM?)
[General Questions and Answers] steven.smith:
So I just bought the Xperia Go ST27a (note the "a"). My question is, will rooting the Xperia Go with firmware meant for ST27i work on ST27a? As far as I can tell, the only difference between the two is that ST27a uses different 3G frequencies. So while I think it would be safe to do so, I wanted to ask first before possibly messing up my phone.

So before I try doing this, does anyone know for sure if custom rooting for ST27i will work the same way (same files used) for the ST27a?

[LG Nitro HD] BYU1:
So i was walking along the road and then when i looked at my phone i saw a H above my signal bar and i screenshotted it. It switched between H and E, then 3g also appeared, but i couldnt get a shot of it because it disappeared quickly.

so now im wondering is 3g/hsdpa possible on a lg nitro using a tmobile sim because when i look around the forums people said only edge is available.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
It's possible that you were roaming onto the AT&T network due to getting no T-Mobile signal for a brief period of time. The phone won't be able to get 3G on T-Mobile's network though.
[LG Nitro HD] NBPatton:
It works!

Sorry forgot to update ya'll

That has to be why. The Nitro definitely doesnt support AWS bands for 3G/4G.
[LG Nitro HD] Hutch89:
Just wanted to issue in case anyone wanted to save some money. I live in Kansas city and just started Wal-Mart family mobile service and I am getting 3g and hspa signal on my unlocked att p930. That being said, it does look like the data speed itself is throttled to 1mb/s up and down. I'm wondering if it's possible to change that by messing with the apn...
[LG Nitro HD] Sandpapers:
You definitley were in an area with 1900 band being utilized. It's been rolling out around Annapolis MD and Alexandria VA areas. Love it!

10mbps down.,

Yes it appears that it's deployed throughout Kansas city and even about an 80 mile plus radius of the city. My device picks it up but family mobile have the speeds throttled down to .9mbps up/down no matter what. Very frustrating seeing the H symbol and not being able to break 1mbps anyone have any ideas?

Leave the proxy blank. For some reason the proxy.mvmo.tracphone.com limits data to 1MB.

Reboot the phone holding power and volume down until you're into the bootloader screen and then select recovery. Try restoring the backup you made. If that doesn't work go back into recovery, put a rom on the sdcard, and flash it. Then reboot.

What I have found is from ICS you have to flash a GB rom, as in a new, fresh flash. Then if you have a backup of that rom you can successfully restore it thru CWM.

adding to that... even if you are changing ROMS if the kernel is compatible with new ROM there should be no problem.

If you are just updating to new version of same ROM and if there are no changes in kernel, there is no need to re-flash boot.img

cm10 has completely different kernel.. so whenever you switch from sense to aosp or viceversa, boot.img needs to be flashed through fastboot or by using the method in the link posted by abhipati above

Hi all. I'm currently running CM7.2 Stable with radio .1111 (used to be the newer .0320) and I can't get any SD card to mount for an extended period of time in recovery, Android, or fastboot. I'm thinking the memory card reader is either loose on the motherboard of the phone or is starting to go. Unfortunately this means that I can no longer take pictures and use apps that require the SD card. Does anyone know if it's possible to use the internal memory (such as /data or /system) as a "Virtual" SD card? Any search I've done on google hasn't turned up much. I'm hoping to get a system dev's; or anyone else with experience; input on this. Thanks.

You might want to try a different recovery or rom to see if that still happens. (although it is probably a hardware issue, it's good to make sure) Do you still have warranty?
